"Huh?" After hearing Li Yunlong's words, the brigade commander frowned and seemed to raise the riding crop in his hand.
"Hey, Commander Zhou, welcome, welcome!" Li Yunlong could only deal with Zhou Weihan with a smile on his face because the brigade commander was nearby.
Zhou Weihan nodded and said nothing.
"How well are the ideological mobilization of the soldiers of your two regiments?" the brigade commander stated the purpose of this trip.
"Report to the brigade commander, Political Commissar Luo is personally doing ideological work for the soldiers in each battalion!" Li Yunlong said seriously.
"Brigade commander, the instructors of each battalion of our independent regiment are specifically responsible for this matter!" Kong Jie answered.
When Zhou Weihan heard this, he thought, well, the political commissar Kong Jie has been talking about has not yet taken office?
"Well, that's right. Zhou Weihan and I were still discussing the specific combat plan on the way here. Now the 18th regiment has been established. Not counting the troops directly under the brigade headquarters, your three regiments alone have about 5,000 troops.
"
Although the brigade commander only has three regiments including Li Yunlong and others, each of their regiments is large, especially Li Yunlong's regiment, which has more than 2,000 commanders and fighters.
On the other hand, Zhou Weihan's independent detachment had four infantry regiments, but not counting the newly established supplementary battalions of each regiment and the wounded from the battle in southern Hebei, each regiment had less than 1,500 personnel.
"What I mean is to concentrate all our efforts on attacking one point, and then the follow-up troops will follow up with all their strength. Now we need a main attack group to tear through the enemy's position like a sharp knife and disrupt the enemy's structure. Which of your groups wants to be the main attack group?"
The brigade commander said with a smile.
"Brigadier Commander, leave the main attack to our New Regiment. Lao Kong's independent regiment lacks the artillery to attack the enemy. Our New Regiment has one Type 92 infantry gun and two Type 90 mortars, which are enough to destroy the enemy's fortifications!" Li Yunlong
At this time, there is no need to hide it, and the family background is revealed directly.
After hearing this, the brigade commander looked at Kong Jie who was standing aside. Kong Jie said unhurriedly: "Brigade commander, let the new regiment take the main attack. What we need in this battle is a quick word. Li Yunlong's new regiment is indeed suitable for attacking forts."
!”
"Okay, Li Yunlong, your new group just needs to fight hard at the front, and we will clean up the mess behind!"
"Yes, the brigade commander promises to complete the mission!" Li Yunlong said with a grin.
"Zhou Weihan, the right column I lead is not far from your central column. After the battle starts, I will attract enemy troops for your troops and reduce the pressure on your troops, so that your troops can raid Zhu Huaibing's headquarters faster from the center!"
The brigade commander said.
"Brigadier, I heard that the 4th Cavalry Division, the predecessor of the new 24th Division, has cooperated with our army?" Zhou Weihan asked.
"General Wang Qifeng, the commander of the Fourth Cavalry Division at that time, did have a pleasant cooperation with our army, but later Commander Wang retired to the rear due to physical reasons. The current commander is his old subordinate Zhang Dongkai!"
"Then do we have hope..." Zhou Weihan asked tentatively.
"You don't know Zhang Dongkai's background. He was born in the Northeast Army. After the Northeast Army changed its flag, he went to the Central Army Military Academy for further study and served as the chief of staff of the Tax Police Corps. Now he is the commander of the new 24th Division.
In addition, he also has a special position, the special party commissioner of the new 24th Division of the Kuomintang!" The brigade commander told Zhang Dongkai's background in detail.
"The identity of a special party commissioner is not something that ordinary people can hold. Chiang Kai-shek always pays attention to balance when employing people. He and Zhu Huaibing were at odds with each other, and Zhu Huaibing often added sand to the newly formed 24th Division.
Although Zhang Dongkai was once Wang Qifeng's confidant, and even though Zhang Dongkai wanted to remain neutral, his power now relies entirely on Chiang Kai-shek. The Fourth Cavalry Division was reorganized into the new 24th Division, which could seize control with just an order from Chiang Kai-shek.
lost his position!"
"However, some of the middle and lower-level officers and soldiers of the division can still be fought for!" the brigade commander finally said.
...
In the afternoon of that day, Zhou Weihan and the brigade commander hurriedly returned to Wuyi after a joint discussion.
When they arrived at Yanwang Mountain, Zhou Weihan arranged for a monk to notify the 18th Regiment of the 386 Brigade to quickly return to the formation and join the main force of the 386 Brigade in Shexian County.
The entire Tainan is covered with war clouds, and anyone with a little bit of insight knows that a war is about to break out.
The National Army's First Theater in Zhongtiao Mountain and the National Army's Second Theater in Kenanpo in western Shanxi both responded.
Kenanpo.
"Hey, I can't afford to offend the Japanese, I can't afford to offend Chiang Kai-shek, I can't afford to fight the Eighth Route Army. I'm dancing on three eggs, old man, and I can't break any of them. How hard it is!" Yan Xishan said with a long sigh.
"How do you respond to Wei Lihuang's first theater?" Yang Aiyuan, then deputy commander of the second theater and commander-in-chief of the Sixth Army, asked.
"During the Shanxi Incident, Wei Lihuang did not send troops and was unable to do anything. Now he is counting on me, old man. What have you been doing?" Yan Xishan said with a cold snort.
"The Eighth Route Army is a sincere anti-Japanese force and is not here to grab territory. To say that the territory grabbing is clearly the Central Army of someone like Chiang Kai-shek, we can no longer do things that undermine national justice!" Yan Xishan waved his hand and said in a high-sounding voice.
Yan Xishan really frightened the Eighth Route Army. At such a sensitive moment, he did not dare to let the Jinsui Army make the slightest move.
"Let's do this. Send a report to Cui Ya and ask the Fourth Group Army in southeastern Shanxi to agree with the Central Army's actions, and then ask him to secretly restrain the troops. No soldiers are allowed to be mobilized without my order. This is just a pain for Cui Ya. It will be inevitable later.
What a nonsense!" Yan Xishan's tactics were indeed clever. On the surface, he let Sun Chu come forward, but secretly he did not let Sun Chu mobilize any soldiers.
He picked himself out beforehand and put Sun Chu on the fire to roast him. Although everyone knew what happened, Yan Xishan looked okay.
The 358th Regiment of the Jinsui Army.
"Regiment, there is a telegram from the chief!" Fang Ligong, chief of staff of the 358th Regiment, reported.
Chu Yunfei took the telegram, browsed it quickly, and said, "Brother Ligong, the contents of Commander Sun's two telegrams are completely different. What do you think?"
"We, as subordinates, can't figure out Shangfeng's thoughts, but the commander of the Jinsui Army is Commander Yan!" Fang Ligong said sharply.
"Also, Qian Bojun's 1st Battalion has just reported that the First Division of the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army, in collaboration with the 1st Column of Fighting to the Death, will use the 1st Battalion's defense area. I am hereby sending a call to ask for the opinion of the regiment headquarters?"
"Humph, the Eighth Route Army is worried about our Jinsui Army. They specially sent troops to keep an eye on us, so they will act according to the orders in the telegram! Order the first battalion to stand still and let them pass. Alas, in the end, all that will be lost is China's national defense.
Power!" Chu Yunfei seemed to let out a long sigh of relief.
"Please be careful, please know that in the eyes of Chairman Chiang and Commander Yan, the Eighth Route Army is even more dangerous than the Japanese!" Fang Ligong said in a low voice.
"Well, Brother Ligong is overly worried. I'm just expressing my feelings! The Eighth Route Army's combat effectiveness is amazing, and the commanding abilities of generals at all levels cannot be compared to Zhu Huaibing. I'm afraid the 94th Army has fallen into its trap without even realizing it!"
"Tuanzuo, all we can do is to stand still and adapt to changes. In the end, both the Eighth Route Army and the Central Army need us to jointly resist the Japanese!"
