"Old Li, is there going to be a war?"
New group.
Regiment Headquarters.
Kong Jie hurriedly walked into the regiment headquarters and asked impatiently.
In the regiment headquarters, Ding Wei had already arrived one step ahead of Kong Jie, but he had just arrived and the two were chatting inside the regiment headquarters.
"Old Ding, are you moving so fast?"
Seeing Ding Wei, Kong Jie sat down on the stool before Li Yunlong could reply.
"Of course." Ding Wei said sternly, "This guy is not active in fighting the Japanese and has some mental problems. As soon as I received Lao Li's telegram, I put down what I was doing and flew over immediately."
At first, the New Second Group and the Independent Group were collecting goods for convenience.
Airports have been built near the regimental headquarters of these two base areas.
Although the airport is not very big, it can accommodate dozens of aircraft.
Moreover, the runway of the airport is built with high-grade cement, which can not only take off and land large transport aircraft, but also heavy long-range bombers.
Nowadays, given Ding Wei and Kong Jie's status in the Eighth Route Army, they are naturally transported by transport planes when traveling.
"Old Li, is there going to be a war?"
After a pause, Ding Wei looked at Li Yunlong again and asked in an expectant tone.
Kong Jie on the side also looked at Li Yunlong expectantly.
"Ha ha…"
"Since you two have already guessed it, we, Lao Li, won't let it go!"
"That's right, our Eighth Route Army is about to attack the Japanese North China Front. The battle plan for the attack has been prepared, and the head of the headquarters has agreed!"
Li Yunlong laughed loudly, and then the expression on his face instantly became serious and serious.
Li Yunlong changes his face very quickly, but Ding Wei and Kong Jie have long been accustomed to it.
Ding Wei and Kong Jie's eyes lit up slightly when they heard this. Although they had expected it, they still couldn't help but feel a little excited when they heard Li Yunlong say it himself.
They have been looking forward to this major counterattack for a long time. It is even said that the entire Eighth Route Army and the people in North China have been looking forward to it for a long time.
"In the year 1937, the Japanese invaded the Central Plains, and North China was so big that there was no room for a peaceful desk."
"What the Japanese did to us back then, we will return it to the Japanese now!"
Kong Jie's tone was a little excited, but his eyes and tone revealed a hint of killing intent.
Times have changed.
In just over two years, the Eighth Route Army has replaced shotguns with cannons, heavy artillery, tanks, aircraft, and even warships, all of which have extremely powerful heavy firepower.
All the commanders and fighters of the Eighth Route Army have become confident and determined to regain North China and eliminate the Japanese North China Front.
"That's right!" Ding Wei also expressed his position, "In this battle, let's see how our New Second Regiment can repair the Japanese!"
Li Yunlong had some expectations regarding Ding Wei and Kong Jie's statements, but he still showed satisfaction on his face.
These two old comrades-in-arms, there was not much difference between the three brothers two years ago.
That is to say, after contacting Boss Chen, Li Yunlong's cultural knowledge, military theoretical knowledge and tactical command ability improved by leaps and bounds.
Of course, Ding Wei and Kong Jie have also made great progress in the past two years.
Basically, Li Yunlong would make a copy of the military theory books he had read for Ding Wei and Kong Jie to watch and study.
These two brothers usually don't like to study very much.
But seeing that Li Yunlong, who dislikes studying the most, has become diligent and eager to learn, they naturally do not want to fall behind.
The commander of the independent regiment and the commander of the new second regiment began to strengthen their studies. Naturally, the officers and soldiers below also had to strengthen their cultural and military studies.
It can be said that Li Yunlong single-handedly promoted the learning atmosphere of the entire Northwest Shanxi Eighth Route Army.
"Old Li, how are we going to fight this battle?" Kong Jie asked.
Needless to say, both Kong Jie and Ding Wei had already guessed that this battle between the Independent Regiment and the New Second Regiment would definitely be commanded by Li Yunlong.
Li Yunlong said: "In this battle, we are the offensive side. The goal of the battle is to defeat or destroy the Japanese North China Front and recover North China."
As he spoke, Li Yunlong took out a map, spread it out, and placed it on the table.
Ding Wei and Kong Jie looked towards the table and saw that the map on the table had been marked with red arrows representing the attack route.
On the red arrow to the north, it clearly says Independent Regiment and New Second Regiment.
On the red arrow to the south, it says Xinyi Tuan.
In this way, the Eighth Route Army's offensive plan is already obvious. The New Regiment, the Independent Regiment and the New Second Regiment are the main forces. The New Regiment will attack along Zhengtai Road, while the New Second Regiment and the Independent Regiment will attack along Pingsui Road.
"Pincer attack?"
Ding Wei's eyes lit up slightly.
During this time, Ding Wei was not idle either. He had been thinking about how the Eighth Route Army should attack the Japanese North China Front.
This pincer offensive is one of Ding Wei's tactics, and it is a relatively good one.
The biggest advantage of a pincer offensive is that it divides one's own army into two lines and attacks the enemy in two directions. It forces the enemy to extend the front line and fight on both sides, thus avoiding the resistance and damage that may be caused by a "sword offensive".
Kong Jie also took a closer look. Judging from the map, the Eighth Route Army's two-pronged offensive was like the sharp claws of a giant crab, clawing fiercely towards the enemy's throat.
Li Yunlong nodded and said.
"That's right, it's a pincer offensive."
"When your New Second Regiment and the Independent Regiment recover Zhangjiakou, our New Regiment will recover and liberate the Baoding area."
"We attack the Pingjin area from two directions."
"Recover North China!"
"Eat the Japanese North China Front!"
Li Yunlong's tone was fierce. This time he was really determined to eat the Japanese North China Front.
With a smile, Li Yunlong looked away from the map, looked at Ding Wei and Kong Jie, and asked: "How many troops do you two regiments have?"
"We don't have many people in the New Second Regiment," said Ding Wei, "just about 40,000 people. Where is your independent regiment, Lao Kong?"
"Our group also has more than 40,000 people," Kong Jie said.
After the Battle of Zhengtai, the Independent Regiment and the New Second Regiment also obtained a large amount of weapons and ammunition from Li Yunlong, and their strength more than doubled.
"It seems like everyone is busy."
Li Yunlong nodded, smiled slightly, and said in a satisfied tone:
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "The troops attacking along Pingsui Road need a general commander. In wartime, another regiment must obey the command unconditionally. Which of you will come?"
The strength of the Independent Regiment and the New Second Regiment, plus 2 heavy artillery regiments and 2 tank regiments transferred from the headquarters, totaled nearly 100,000 troops.
With so many troops, it is natural that they need a commander-in-chief.
"Lao Kong, last time it was your boy who took charge, but this time it's my turn!"
Ding Wei looked at Kong Jie and said in an unquestionable tone.
Ding Wei thought to himself, this time it is finally our turn.
In the last battle, Li Yunlong transferred the 37th Division stationed in Yangquan and the 33rd Division stationed in Shouyang.
A battle plan was formulated in which the Independent Regiment and the New Second Regiment pretended to be the main force of the New First Regiment and attacked the 1st Division stationed in Datong.
In that battle, the main force of the Japanese army garrisoned in Mongolia went south to reinforce the 1st Division, but was defeated by the Independent Regiment and the New Second Regiment north of Datong. The 3rd Tank Division was severely damaged. The commander of the Japanese Army Garrison and the 3rd Tank Division
The division commander was shot dead.
In that battle, Kong Jie, as the commander, became famous and was highly praised by the head of the headquarters.
In the last battle, Kong Jie led the independent regiment to Niangziguan to reinforce the 2nd Independent Brigade. He also cooperated with the Jizhong Military Region and other fraternal troops to annihilate three Japanese divisions and two brigades near Niangziguan.
Another big hit.
In the Eighth Route Army, Kong Jie's status also rose rapidly.
