"South to the Central Plains?"

Zhao Gang muttered to himself, and then said loudly: "This is simply eight hundred miles south!" Laiyuan to Wu'an in the north of Henan Province, at least more than 380 kilometers! It's almost 800 miles! Lao Li! ”。

Li Yunlong pointed to the map and said, "Before, we moved to the northern part of Henan Province, so we are quite familiar with the situation. What's more, the Central Plains region, if it can stir up there, it will inevitably strip Tian Junliu's gaze away from the base area! Although we already have 10,000 or 20,000 recruits at the moment, we need time to train and rest! In a short period of time, it will not be possible to make the newly recruited recruits ready for use! ”。

"If you go south, the base area will be a little empty! 200,000 Imperial Cooperative Army is not a small number! Although Zhao Gang despised the combat effectiveness of the Imperial Cooperative Army.

But 200,000 Imperial Cooperative Army, that is, 200,000 pigs, can't be caught in three days!

What's more, looking at the current situation reported from various places, these two devils are very happy to block traffic, and they are also troublesome!

However, Li Yunlong said with a smile: "Although there are many of those imperial alliance troops, their combat effectiveness is scum and vulnerable. As long as we strike hard at the troops left behind in the base area, with the current situation, although the Imperial Allied Army has a large number of troops, it is still very difficult to cause damage to the base area, hehe! ”。

Li Yunlong was optimistic, but Zhao Gang said: "Lao Li, how many troops did you lead out this time?" ”。

"It's still the same, Zhang Dabiao, Shen Qun, and Ma Wenhai's troops have a total of three brigades. In addition, an artillery regiment of Wang Chengzhu with the army! There are also 2,000 people in the reserve directly under my command, for a total of 15,000 people. All supported by war horses, cavalry battles! ”

Zhao Gang suggested: "Wang Chengzhu's artillery regiment can only carry 70 mm caliber artillery with the army, otherwise the large-caliber artillery may drag down the marching speed of the main cavalry force!" ”。

"Not bad! I would order Wang Chengzhu to carry 70 mm guns. The above artillery is useless, it is too heavy. With a large number of mortars and grenadiers in various departments, it is basically possible to maneuver! Li Yunlong said with a smile.

Zhao Gang said: "If this is the case, it should not be a problem!" The 15,000 mobile cavalry, crisscrossing the Central Plains, can at least turn the area directly under the control of the devil North China Front controlled by Tian Junliu upside down. Based on the current situation, Tian Junliu is estimated to be unable to take care of the key attack on Hengshan at that time. ”。

Li Yunlong bowed his head, but also said: "But you can't be careless, I estimate that because the northern section of Tongpu Road is attacked by us indiscriminately, the battle of the devils in the direction of Zhongtiao Mountain will last at least five or six days before it can end." Otherwise, at this time, Tian Junliu would have already attacked my base area within the next half a month! Therefore, this sortie to the south of the Central Plains and attack the devil garrison that controls some devil-controlled areas in northern and eastern Henan will at least destroy tens of thousands of enemies. ”。

"Lao Li, be careful! Although the Central Plains is a terrain platform, it is suitable for cavalry vertical and horizontal. But there are also high mountains to obstruct it, and there are many highways and communication lines, and the devil's mobile reinforcement ability is much stronger than that in the Jin Province! ”

Zhao Gang instructed, lest Li Yunlong, this kid, be arrogant and arrogant, and he will be in trouble.

Li Yunlong smiled: "Don't worry, Lao Zhao." However, the pressure on you to have here in the base area is also huge, and the 200,000 Imperial Alliance troops besieging the base area are indeed not a small number. If the Imperial Association Army exerts its strength, the pressure on your Lao Zhao does not have to be small! The troops I attacked were all cavalry, coming and going like the wind. In addition, it has begun to be spring now, everything is recovering, and the cavalry is crisscrossed, so there is no need to worry about the problem of war horse forage! And even if the 200,000 Imperial Cooperative Army is 200,000 pigs, it will be difficult to disperse them! ”。

"Well, I'll pay attention! Lao Li, when are you leaving? ”

Li Yunlong looked at the map and thought about it thoughtfully, "Tian Junliu has taken over the post of commander of the North China Front Army, but this old devil is really cunning and did not rashly send troops to attack my base area. Instead, it is to mobilize 200,000 cannon fodder imperial troops to besiege our base area, this old devil is far more difficult to deal with than the removed Tada Jun! In this way, it is better to set off at nine o'clock in the evening to go south to the Central Plains, and I will be caught off guard by Tian Junliu. ”。

Zhao Gang didn't expect Li Yunlong's speed to be so fast, and he was worried that the rest time of the troops was too short, so he suggested: "Why don't you let the three brigades that are preparing to attack rest for another day, and then go south to the Central Plains?" ”。

Li Yunlong shook his head and said: "The Imperial Association Army has carried out a peripheral attack and blockade on our base area, although the combat effectiveness of the Imperial Association Army is scum, but too many Imperial Association troops are besieged, and it is still a pressure on us." Tian Shunroku's strategy was nothing more than to wait until the Japanese First Army under the command of Naosaburo Okabe had finished the battle against Nakajo Mountain, and then draw troops north to attack our base area. We can't be late, a day late to attack south, I'm afraid there are too many variables. ”。

Seeing that Li Yunlong's decision had been decided, Zhao Gang said: "Okay! Here in my hometown, I will command to ensure that those Imperial Alliance troops will not break through the outer defense line of my Hengshan base area! ”。

"Okay, it's up to you to rely on Lao Zhao here! Fortunately, we annihilated the Japanese army of Haruki Fujimoto and captured a large amount of weapons and equipment, grain, grass and ammunition. With the strength of the troops left behind in the base area, even if all the Lingqiu and other places are launched to retreat to the core area of the base area for three years, it is basically not a problem. But Lao Zhao, let me remind you! Tian Junliu, an old devil with a lively brain, may dispatch transport planes to airdrop infantry to raid the base area at any time, and you must lay a large number of light and heavy machine guns on the commanding heights of the main mountainous areas of your hometown, and the two 88-mm anti-aircraft guns must also be ready to shell enemy planes in the sky at any time! ”

Zhao Gang didn't expect Li Yunlong's instructions, he didn't expect it, "Okay, I know!" ”

"Good, herald!"

After Li Yunlong finished speaking, he waved his hand and shouted to the herald on the side!

The herald stepped forward in response, "Give orders to Zhang Dabiao, Shen Qun, and Ma Wenhai, let them come here and accept the task!" ”

"Yes!" The herald departed.

A few minutes later, several commanders and fighters who hurriedly climbed up to Tianfeng Ridge from various resting places rushed to Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang one after another.

Li Yunlong told Zhang Dabiao and the others about the situation of the Imperial Association Army and the devil Tian Junliu, and then issued an order for them to quickly order the troops to prepare and prepare!

"Teacher, in this case, is there a bit of pressure here in my hometown?" Zhang Dabiao said loudly, and the rest of the commanders and fighters also nodded.

Li Yunlong said with a smile: "There is a political commissar here in my hometown to command the left-behind troops to fight, and we can rest assured that we can carry out tasks outside!" This trip to the Central Plains was mainly aimed at galloping in the hinterland of the Central Plains and annihilating the enemy's vital forces. If possible, you can drag part of the devil's army that attacked the area of Zhongtiao Mountain to the area of Yu Province! According to the information we have obtained, there are only the 35th Division of the Devils in the area of Henan Province and some other devil troops, and the strength is actually not much. We went south this time, and the pressure was not very great! And one of the goals of going south to the Central Plains is to attack Kaifeng! ”。
