Looking at these warriors with a fierce look on their bodies, the two old commanders felt very complicated. This kind of force was what they dreamed of, but according to Yang Zhen, this kind of force was far beyond what the base areas in the pass could afford. Not counting the equipment, but the necessary training for these people, no matter which base area they are in, cannot do it. At this moment, the two old commanders can only look at this elite force with envy.
The complex emotions in the hearts of the two veterans at this moment were not known to others. Among them, the leader of the group ordered his subordinates to quickly organize their equipment and backpacks and arrange them into a neat queue. , ran up to Yang Zhen in just a few steps, and after a very standard military posture and military salute, he said in a loud voice: "Report No. 1, the first battalion and the first squadron of the reconnaissance brigade directly under the military region, and the captain and squadron leader Zhu Jian led the six combat units Detachment, two support detachments have been ordered to report to you."
Hearing that the battalion assigned to Wang Guangyu was actually coming, Yang Zhen frowned slightly. How could Wang Guangyu transfer the troops assigned to them? The third battalion of the directly affiliated reconnaissance brigade was currently resting in the base area. It is them who I want to adjust.
The battle of Linxi is now in full swing, and these troops are needed to play their role. What is this guy thinking? Transferring them here at this time, the situation here is not too urgent, it is not enough for a day and a half, this guy is thinking What, what is the key to the Battle of Bilinxi now?
Seeing Yang Zhen's frown, the squadron leader was very perceptive and said quickly: "No. 1, the two squadrons of the third battalion are currently performing restorative training at the Daxinganling training base west of Qiqihar. Currently, there are only A mobile squadron is on standby."
"Our training outline was drawn up by you personally. You also know what this recovery training is. It will take at least one day from the completion of their assembly to the transfer. Commander Wang saw your telegram and was worried that you have an emergency here. , just transfer us here first. As for their main force, they will not arrive in Linxi until tomorrow, and it will be at least the day after tomorrow when they arrive in Rehe."
"As for Commander Wang, they have captured Linxi County this afternoon. During the battle, Commander Wang adopted the tactic of encirclement and reinforcements. During the battle, he completely wiped out the 70th Division of the 23rd Division that was reinforcing Linxi County. The two infantry brigades of the 1st Regiment killed their commander, the Fourth Colonel Negishi."
"After completing the encirclement and annihilation of the main force of the 71st Regiment, Commander Wang concentrated all artillery cover, reinforced a battalion of the second regiment with the third regiment, and a tank company, and stormed Linxi County. Before we boarded the plane, Linxi had been captured All of the county seat, and when capturing Linxi County, annihilate most of the 23rd Division Engineer Regiment and one part of the 64th Infantry Regiment that were defending Linxi County."
"In view of the current battle situation in which most of the main force of the 23rd Division has been annihilated, Commander Wang believes that all of us staying there will somewhat restrict our return, so in addition to leaving two squadrons to cooperate with them, Commander Wang will find and In addition to encircling and annihilating the headquarters of the 23rd Division of the Japanese Army, send us over first."
"Furthermore, this is what No. 2 and No. 3 share. When you transferred troops, you did not explain the reason for transferring us here in the telegram. However, No. 2 and No. 3 were worried that you might have an emergency, so they asked Commander Wang to start with you. The Linxi front line has transferred us here, and the leading squadron of the third battalion will board the plane in Qiqihar early tomorrow morning and is expected to arrive in Linxi before noon tomorrow."
Having said this, the squadron leader pointed to the more than 20 large wooden boxes that were parachuted down with them and said: "Except for one box here that contains supplies and ammunition that are replenished for us from the rear, the rest are supported by the headquarters. Get into replenishing first aid medicines, bandages, antiseptics and surgical instruments.”
"As well as part of the grain, sugar, canned food, dry batteries, and 500 kilograms of explosives. Commander Wang specially selected these items from their reserve supplies, especially the sugar, which were all imported from the Soviet Army in Outer Mongolia. The high-quality white sugar obtained in the warehouse can be used as a nutritional supplement to recuperate the wounded soldiers who are advancing in the army."
After hearing Zhu Jian's report, Yang Zhen's frown relaxed somewhat. He transferred a battalion of the direct reconnaissance brigade to Rehe, but he forgot to explain the reason for its use. It might be Li Yanping and Guo Bingxun, who thought he had encountered something. Trouble, I was more worried about my own safety, so I asked Wang Guangyu to dispatch a squadron from the Linxi battlefield to come over first. Wang Guangyu was also worried about the same, so he organized a transport plane to airborne them in the shortest possible time. come over.
After thinking about it, Yang Zhen's expression softened, and he did not continue to pursue anything. Instead, he took out a map of Jehol and asked the combat staff of the advancing army to take out the supply lines, ammunition storage points, and field hospitals. Bi Lai drew a large circle around the entire front line on the map, and then said to Zhu Jiancheng in front of him: "I have only three purposes for sending you here this time."
"The first is to be a good eye for the artillery of the advancing army, find all the important targets of the Japanese army facing them, and provide accurate coordinates for the artillery of the advancing army. The second is to destroy the Japanese and puppet troops facing the advancing army, all Japanese brigade level one, and the puppet army level one. level command."
"The second point, and the most critical point, is to clean up all the plainclothes Japanese and puppet troops around the advancing army to ensure the absolute safety of all levels of headquarters of the advancing army, as well as the field hospitals and ammunition storage points in the rear. Ensure the smooth progress of this battle."
"As for the detailed situation, I will let the relevant personnel of the Jinjin Army introduce it to you in detail later. However, I want to remind you in advance that there are no guerrilla units of our army in Rehe now, let alone the Jinmen who change into civilian clothes. Marching cadres and soldiers, so you must remember that anyone who carries a gun and wears plainclothes is a plainclothes unit of the Japanese and puppet troops."
"In addition, these plainclothes teams of the Japanese and puppet troops sometimes often disguise themselves as troops of the advancing army to carry out sabotage. You must also pay attention to identifying the small groups of troops wearing the uniforms of the advancing army. Even if there is no accidental injury, you must also Make sure I clean up the plainclothes teams of the Japanese and puppet troops."
"I'm going to rush back tonight. I won't wait for the main force of the third battalion. When they arrive, you will all be commanded by the commander of the third battalion. You tell him that when you go out to perform the mission, no matter what happens, before you advance to the army headquarters You must also leave at least two detachments. Even if all your troops are destroyed by me, you must also ensure the safety of the advancing army headquarters. When the third battalion commander arrives, tell him that if there is any problem with the advancing army headquarters, even if it is lost, Even if I copy a newspaper, I have to settle accounts with him."
After explaining the main tasks, Yang Zhen paused briefly and looked at the commander and political commissar beside him. He looked at the eyes of his troops with interest and gritted his teeth and said: "You, Zhu Jian, are also directly under the reconnaissance You are a veteran of the brigade. Although you were not trained by me personally, you still know the rules of combat, and you also know what to do to complete this kind of mission."
"Remember not to have any scruples during the operation, let alone mother-in-law. Everything is focused on ensuring the smooth completion of the Jehol Campaign and the safety of the advancing army headquarters. When necessary, any means can be used. I emphasize it one last time, By any means and at any cost.”
Regarding Yang Zhen's last even somewhat harsh order, the squadron leader took the map handed over by Yang Zhen and said without the slightest hesitation: "Please rest assured, No. 1 and the head of the headquarters, we will definitely complete the mission according to your requirements. You I will explain all the tasks assigned to me to the third battalion commander intact."
Yang Zhen did not answer Zhu Jian's guarantee. Instead, he turned to the commander and political commissar of the advancing army beside him and said: "These people and their follow-up troops, I will leave them to the two old chiefs. Considering the terrain and enemy situation, and in order for them to enter the situation as soon as possible, I hope to deploy a group of experienced reconnaissance troops from the advancing army to cooperate with their actions."
"However, I hope that the personnel drawn from the advancing army will not interfere with their actions, especially when taking some extreme measures. I hope that the comrades from the advancing army will not engage in any extreme behavior. If possible, the comrades drawn from the advancing army will not interfere with their actions." It is best to temporarily place personnel under their command, which will make it easier to straighten out the command relationship and reduce unnecessary troubles."
The commander agreed to Yang Zhen's modest request without thinking. Although the advancing army currently lacked most of the modern warfare talents, it had no shortage of actual combat experience and a group of experienced troops were selected. Scouting is still very easy.
But after the commander finished answering happily, the political commissar over there suddenly asked: "Comrade Yang Zhen, can I ask what your all necessary means and extreme means are, and whether they are also like The Japanese army treated our military personnel the same way, using severe torture methods and then killing people to silence them."
In response to these rhetorical questions from the political commissar, Yang Zhen did not answer immediately, but hesitated for a moment before saying: "Two old chiefs, there are some things that I will not be able to explain clearly for a while. After you understand their combat mode, I think The two old chiefs will understand. Political Commissar, some things are not temporary. Maybe in a short period of time, they may think that I have something, but from the overall perspective, I believe that the two old chiefs will understand me. "
At this point, Yang Zhen, who knew it was time to say goodbye, hesitated for a moment, but still raised his hands and saluted the two old commanders with a standard military salute and said: "Two old chiefs, there is no such thing as a banquet in the world. I will give it to you now." Farewell. When this battle is over, I will greet the two old leaders in Harbin."
Putting down his hand, Yang Zhen turned around and pointed at the jeep he was riding in when he arrived: "This car is the latest off-road vehicle made in the United States. Basically, it can go anywhere a horse can go. The two old men Although the chiefs have this car, I left it to the two old chiefs. Although the two old chiefs still have the same style and arrogance as before, they are a bit old after all."
"Time is not forgiving. Only when you are well rested can you have more energy to direct operations. With this car, you can rest on it for a while while marching. Moreover, riding in a car saves energy compared to riding a horse. This car gives The two old chiefs are staying, and as for gasoline, I will ask Wang Guangyu to provide you with replenishment."
"This car, as well as the other two, will be kept. The two old chiefs will put forward all their requests. I promise to go all out. Two old chiefs, don't be embarrassed. No matter what we do, No matter how far apart we are, no matter how different our organization is, we are all one family and will always be one family."
"As a family, don't talk about two families. I am from the 129th Division. If you compare me to a married girl, then the troops in the pass are equivalent to our natal family, and I, a married girl, , getting here is equivalent to returning to your parents’ home. No matter how far I am as a daughter, I will still be your child. Therefore, I hope that the two old leaders will not have any taboos. As I said, I will do my best. .”
