Lei Yunfeng returned to the headquarters of the Western Front troops, first found Hou Sheng and Zhu Zhensheng who were arranged in the Operations Law Enforcement Department of the Headquarters, and then found Han Nina in the Telecommunications Department.

When he heard Commander Wei mention that the position of the 30th Brigade and the 54th Regiment of the 30th Brigade, which was holding the first line of defense, had been taken over by the 3rd Garrison Brigade at this time, he not only said to Commander Wei: "Commander, now that the 54th Regiment and the 62nd Regiment have changed their guards, can you order these two regiments to set up an ambush in the area of Dongwuling to ambush the enemy's large transport convoy?" ”

"You layman who can only point fingers and don't know how to deploy defenses on the frontal battlefield, it's best not to talk nonsense in the front-line command headquarters, otherwise I will drive you out of the Western Route Army."

"Chief of Staff Xu, I'm trying to find a way to show military prestige for our troops, and capture a large amount of weapons, equipment and food from the enemy to supplement the serious shortage of our troops, how can you say that I am directing indiscriminately?

If you have a good way to get the troops to be replenished with important materials such as weapons, equipment, and food, and if you can arouse the morale of the soldiers who have lost the first line of defense, I would like to ask your chief of staff for a good plan, otherwise do not interject. ”

"You, you bastard, you dare to humiliate the commander in the front command headquarters, I don't think you want to live anymore, since you want to find death yourself, I will shoot you right now."

"Dawn, don't mess around, listen to Lei Yunfeng finish speaking." Commander Wei looked at Lei Yunfeng and frowned and said: "Commissioner Lei, the 54th Regiment has fought many positions with the attacking Japanese army in the first line of defense, and almost all the commanders at all levels of the regiment and battalion have died heroically on the position, and at this time, the 54th Regiment has no new commander, and I am afraid that it will ...... for a while." ”

"Commander Wei, if you haven't given the order to appoint the commander of the 54th Regiment, I will recommend myself as the commander of this regiment and lead the 54th Regiment to cooperate with other friendly forces to fight an ambush battle against a large convoy of the enemy in Dongwuling."

"You? You're a guy who can only play tricks, and you want to be an official and want to go crazy, right? Every regiment commander on the frontal battlefield is a hero who has emerged in many bloody battles of life and death, you, you dare to shamelessly propose to be this regiment commander, are you worthy? ”

"Chief of Staff Xu, I, the colonel of the Military Command Department, is there nothing wrong with being a regiment commander in terms of rank and rank? Tell you, I'm not a colonel for nothing, if you doubt my command ability, I can make a military order in front of Commander Wei and you. ”

"Lei Yunfeng, this is what you said, once you make a military order, once you lose the battle, you will be shot, then you don't cry and find Shangfeng to intercede for you, hmph, no matter how hard your backstage is, I will never give your backstage face, and kill you as well."

"Okay, the gentleman is hard to follow, since Chief of Staff Xu said so about me, it means that he has agreed to me as the commander of the 54th Regiment?"

"As long as you Lei Yunfeng dare to make a military order, I can persuade Commander Wei to appoint you as the commander of the 54th Regiment, but let's put it in my head, if you lead my 54th Regiment to suffer casualties again, you will judge yourself on the battlefield and ask your brothers to carry you back, do you dare?"

"Hahaha, why don't you dare? Please ask the commander and chief of staff to give an order to appoint Lei Yunfeng as the commander of the 54th Regiment, Hou Sheng as the deputy commander, Han Nina as the director of communications, Su Xiaoyan as the deputy director, and Fang Shichao and Zhu Zhensheng as the battalion commanders. ”

Just when Lei Yunfeng and the two commanders of the West Route Army of the Zhongtiao Mountain Theater were discussing the appointment, Han Nina walked in with two telegrams and shouted: "Report to Commander Wei, I have detected the secret telegram of the Japanese army, which has been deciphered, and there is also an order from the commander of the theater of operations." ”

Chief of Staff Xu took the two telegrams handed over by Han Nina, and handed them to Commander Wei after reading them, but his eyes quickly fell on Lei Yunfeng again. dog

After reading the telegram, Commander Wei said with a solemn face: "The commander of the First Army of the Japanese Army ordered the Qinshui Corps Station to quickly arrange for a large number of transport convoys to stay in Qinshui City to accompany them on a certain day, and they must leave Qinshui City within five days and arrive safely at Jicheng and Quwo to replenish the important military supplies such as weapons and ammunition urgently needed at the front.

The commander of the Zhongtiao Mountain Theater ordered our unit to send a regiment to cooperate with the 10th Division to set up an ambush on the front line of Dongwuling to destroy the Japanese troops who were attacking our Quwo, Pinglu, Ruicheng, Puzhou, and Changzhi on a large scale, and to transport convoys of important military supplies such as weapons and ammunition. ”

When Commander Wei said this, he looked at Chief of Staff Xu and asked, "Liming, from which front do you think our army can send a regiment to participate in the Dongwuling ambush now?" ”

"Commander, the 54th Regiment and the 62nd Regiment that have been reorganized and repaired are the only forces that can be mobilized by our army at present, but these two main regiments have suffered heavy losses in blocking the enemy's attack in the first line of defense, not only are there a shortage of weapons and equipment, but the casualties and casualties of the two regiments are very large, and it is difficult for two formed combat regiments to cooperate with the 10th Division to set up ambushes and ambushes."

Chief of Staff Xu Liming is well aware of the current troop deployment on the western front of Zhongtiao, even if the 54th and 62nd regiments change guards and recuperate, they will soon be supplemented as reserves to the forward positions that need reinforcements the most, so he does not dare to use these two regiments.

He continued: "Commander, even if these two regiments can be mobilized, most of the commanders above the battalion level of the two regiments that have been severely injured have died, and they have not been adjusted from other units for the time being, and it is difficult for the regiment and battalion level to form combat effectiveness without a commander.

Even if the regimental and battalion commanders are fully equipped, I am afraid that they will need short-term running-in training in command to form combat effectiveness, and if feasible, I will lead the 529th Regiment to set up an ambush in Dongwuling to cooperate with the ...... of the 10th Division. ”

"Chief of Staff Xu, you are the chief of staff of the Western Front in the Zhongtiao Mountain Theater, and you are an important general who cooperates with Commander Wei in commanding operations, how can you leave your command post and lead a regiment to fight an ambush? I, Lei Yunfeng, once again requested that I lead the 54th Regiment, a combat unit whose battalion commanders have all died, to cooperate with the 10th Division to fight an ambush. ”

"Commissioner Lei, your task is not to go to the front line to lead troops to fight, besides, the 54th Regiment has just experienced a life-and-death decisive battle with the enemy, at this time the morale is low, the equipment is poor, and the weapons, ammunition and soldiers urgently need to be replenished. You led the 54th Regiment, which was less than two battalions, to cooperate with the 10th Division to set up an ambush at Dongwuling, and once the lack of troops and firepower affected this military operation, the highest commander of the theater would certainly be held accountable, and the consequences would be unimaginable. ”

"Commander Wei, as far as I know, the 10th Division of the theater has not yet started a life-and-death struggle with the Japanese army in Zhongtiao Mountain, and its combat effectiveness remains very strong.

Therefore, my five brothers and I served as the battalion commanders of the 54th Regiment, and after a short period of training and running-in, we will definitely soon become a combat collective, and when I return triumphantly, I will definitely hand over to you a well-armed and well-equipped 54th Regiment that can fight tough battles and has a new look. ”

Chief of Staff Xu Liming simply did not believe that this suave scholarly officer in front of him could lead a 54th Regiment that had been heavily damaged by the war and was waiting to rest and replenish to complete the task of cooperating with the 10th Division to ambush and attack the huge Japanese automobile transport convoy.

He sneered with contempt: "Lei Yunfeng, the 54th Regiment has suffered heavy losses, even if our Western Route Army can't find a suitable regimental and battalion commander, it is impossible to hand over such a Shaanxi Lengwa army to you, you just shut up and rest." ”

Commander Wei was very aware of the difficult and difficult situation he was facing at present when he led this Western Route Army to fight head-on with the Japanese 110th Division on the western front of Zhongtiao Mountain.

Now that the 54th and 62nd regiments have been withdrawn from the first line of defense, and the regimental battalion commander has not yet had time to equip them, how can such a unit be pulled up to set up an ambush at Dongwuling to cooperate with the 10th Division? Do you really want to use the arrogant young man Lei Yunfeng?
