Compared with the war situation east of Handan City, which was full of beacon fires, there was no movement at all in Wu'an and Wuyi to the east.
Li Yunlong and three battalions of soldiers had been waiting along the Handan-Changchun Highway for a long time. Seeing the sun shining high, the extremely hungry soldiers began to eat the dry food they had brought with them.
"Damn it, what's going on with this little devil? I'm going to fall asleep if you don't come back!" Li Yunlong casually put out the cigarette butt on the ground and cursed.
"Zhang Dabiao, send two more people to investigate!"
Zhang Dabiao couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard Li Yunlong's order: "Captain, we have sent no less than three batches of scouts back and forth. The Japanese troops in Wu'an and Wuyi have no intention of dispatching!"
"According to the captured puppet prisoners, the garrison regiment of the independent detachment cooperated with local troops to attack everywhere in the two counties. According to me, the Japanese army in this unit has no way to reinforce Handan City! The third battalion behind reported that the independent detachment
The materials shipped from Handan City were shipped back three times, and Handan City was emptied out!"
Li Yunlong's face darkened, and then he said: "Zhou Weihan's work is almost done, and my new group is still here drinking from the northwest wind. This is not allowed!"
"Captain, the correspondent of the independent detachment is here!" a soldier shouted.
Li Yunlong jumped up from the ground: "Where are you, please come here quickly!"
The radio station that Zhou Weihan originally assigned to the New Regiment before the war was damaged during the battle. Later, the New Regiment captured another radio station, but left it to Luo Benzhong who was fighting guerrillas in Lucheng and Licheng.
"Commander Li, the battle in Handan City has ended. The siege troops are going south to support. The headquarters ordered the new regiment to stay on the Handan-Chang Highway to block the Japanese reinforcements!" the correspondent said.
"What? Continue to block the Japanese army? Little comrade, look at it, there's not even a fucking Japanese hair around here, and my new regiment of two thousand people are just staring here?" Li Yunlong said.
"Captain Li, our detachment leader asked me to give you a message before coming here!"
Then the correspondent imitated Zhou Weihan's tone: "Li Yunlong, I know you can't win the war, so it's time to scold you again. The Japanese troops coming to the west for reinforcements will definitely pass through the Handan-Changchun Highway. Your new regiment is the 386th Brigade.
The main force group, one of the best, has always been able to fight tough battles, so you can't bear the loneliness! It's okay if you don't want to wait here for the little devil to throw himself into the trap, but at worst, I'll change the group and come here!"
Li Yunlong listened eagerly. The correspondent thought that Li Yunlong would scold his mother after hearing this, and he felt a little uneasy.
"Okay, go back and tell Zhou Weihan that we, Old Li, know about it and let him see it!" Li Yunlong scratched his messy head, and his sullen face instantly turned into a smile.
"Captain Li, our detachment leader also said that if you have no objection, you will have full command of the Handan-Chang Highway War!" the correspondent said, taking out a note from his pocket.
"Haha, Zhou Weihan is so generous. I have transferred the garrison regiment and the cavalry battalion to me. Counting the local troops, there must be at least three regiments of troops. This time I will have the pleasure of being a brigade commander!" Li Yunlong finished reading.
The content on the note made the corners of his mouth split instantly.
After the correspondent left, Zhang Dabiao wondered: "Commander, are we just waiting here? Let me tell you how happy it would be for our new regiment to join the independent detachment garrison and eat together the Japanese and puppet troops in Wu'an and Wuyi."
!”
After hearing this, Li Yunlong's face was obviously moved: "Forget it, just wait here. No ministries are allowed to move out without my order, but if the Japanese troops in Wu'an and Wuyi dare to reinforce, then they will be dealt with too!"
"Don't be afraid of being late for a good meal. Others can't be sure. I still believe in Zhou Weihan's strategic vision! Our new group is sure to defeat this group of little devils from Linfen!" Li Yunlong responded with a smile.
"Tell the soldiers that they don't need to be ready. The Japs won't be here for a while. It's time to eat!" Li Yunlong waved his hand and said.
"yes!"
The words are divided into two parts.
After Zhou Weihan sent the correspondent away, Zhao Gang said with a smile: "Old Zhou, you have thoroughly understood Li Yunlong's temper!"
"Hey, this guy Li Yunlong has nothing to say about fighting, but those who lead troops in war strive for the honor of the main regiment. The 22nd Regiment and the new regiment have always refused to obey anyone from the commander to the soldiers. This is Kong Jie
The independent regiment's foundation is not that good, otherwise Kong Jie would have to fight with them!"
"Li Yunlong is also a docile donkey. He is happier when he praises a new group or a few words than when he praises himself. This is all the experience taught to me by the brigade commander!" Zhou Weihan said with a smile.
Looking at Li Yunlong's classic lines in "Bright Sword": "Go back and tell you Cheng Xiazi, I taught him how to shoot a gun back then, now I'm going to teach him how to fight!"
With all this going on, is the brigade commander, the superior, really unaware of this?
It's just that they turned a blind eye to the competition within the 386 Brigade. Which superior wouldn't want to have a few accomplished generals like Li Yunlong under his command.
As long as he did not make principled mistakes and did not hide his flaws, Li Yunlong would be a treasure during the war years.
"The mission I gave the New Regiment from beginning to end was not to deal with the Japanese troops in Wu'an and Wuyi, but the main force of the Japanese troops from Linfen on the western front!" Zhou Weihan said
"Then you are sure that the Japanese troops on the western front will be reinforced?" Zhao Gang continued to ask.
"I'm not sure about this. I still don't know how many troops the Japanese will send and when they will send troops. I just have the possibility of reinforcements!"
"In comparison, the Japanese troops on the southern route rely on the convenience of railway transportation and have a greater chance of reinforcements. This is why I placed the main force on the southern route!" Zhou Weihan said.
"If the Japanese army on the Western Front sends reinforcements, at least the strength of a field brigade, can the new regiment withstand it?" Zhao Gang said with concern.
"Humph, I'm afraid even a large group of Japanese troops will not be able to reach Handan City safely. From Lintun Highway to Handan Chang Highway, our army has quite a few troops distributed along it. Not to mention those in the distance, Luo Benzhong's new regiment,
The 28th regiment has one battalion each, Li’s capable garrison regiment, plus the new regiment and cavalry battalion, it’s enough for the little devil to drink!”
"But the only variable is the Japanese army under Isamu Terauchi. According to Li Da's report, Isamu Terauchi still has a lot of troops. However, I also gave Li Yunlong the right to act expediently on the battlefield. I believe he can act according to the opportunity!"
"Although Isamu Teuchi has a tacit understanding with our department, in the final analysis we have a hostile relationship, so we must guard against it!" Zhao Gang said.
"Li Yunlong is an experienced military commander after all. If he can't even grasp the importance of the battlefield, he'd better not be the commander of the regiment!"
At this time, half of North China was in flames of war, and for dozens of miles around Handan City, except for the soldiers of the independent detachment who were resting here, there was no trace of the Japanese and puppet troops, and there was a strange silence for a while.
