Chapter 306 Commander of the New First Brigade, Li Lei
The commander of the New Fourth Army who received the telegram from Tiger Boy was very surprised.
Tiger Cub this proposal......
It was a surprise.
Just now, he had just received news from the First Division that the New Third Regiment was in the Nanshan area and annihilated two wings of the Japanese army.
He hadn't digested the news just now, and now Tiger Boy has sent such a message again.
It really made him cry and laugh.
Li Lei, this kid, is really a fierce general!
No wonder the boss said that Li Lei must be used well.
If you use this well, it can really be worth a division!
You see, even other tigers can see that this Li Lei can be used as a teacher.
Although Tiger Boy didn't say it explicitly in the telegram, he understood the meaning.
The purpose of the Tiger Boy was to temporarily organize the New Third Regiment, the Independent Regiment, the Second Independent Regiment, and the three regiments into a division.
The division commander was Li Lei.
In this way, it is indeed more convenient to mobilize troops during war.
It's just that I always feel a little awkward.
Li Lei is too young, and being the division commander at such a young age may cause unnecessary trouble.
Pull out the seedlings to help grow, or not.
Moreover, you should also consider the thoughts of Li Yunlong and Chu Yunfei.
These two people are both old leaders.
If Li Lei becomes the division commander, will the two of them be psychologically unacceptable?
There is another problem, this is cold, the Eighth Route Army has one more division, and the old bald man will definitely be particularly disgusted in his heart.
This is not a good thing for their New Fourth Army.
In order to fight this big war, Tiger Boy considered it relatively simple.
But he couldn't ignore the old bald head's thoughts.
The New Fourth Army now needs to hide its clumsiness.
Otherwise, it is not a good thing to be remembered by the old bald head.
Now, they're going to make a fortune in silence.
Quietly enter the village, don't shoot guns.
Or don't look for unnecessary trouble.
Although the meaning of the tiger boy is to temporarily form a division, but the temporary division, that is also a division.
On many grounds, the chief rejected the tiger boy's proposal.
And expressed his gratitude to the tiger cub.
Although you Tiger Boy values us, our strength is still very weak.
There are not many people and the equipment is not good.
You think too highly of us.
Our three regiments simply did not have the potential to become a division.
If it is forcibly organized into a division, it will only affect the display of combat effectiveness.
The chief of staff of the headquarters looked at the telegram sent and was very puzzled.
I didn't expect the New Fourth Army to refuse.
How fine the tiger boy is, as soon as his eyes flashed, he guessed the meaning.
Also, as an old qualified general and a member of the national army, he can ignore the meaning of the old bald head for the time being.
But the New Fourth Army can't help but think about it.
Being on top of an old bald head is indeed not a good thing.
But he did need to do this in order to make the dispatch of troops smoother.
"Send a telegram to the New Fourth Army, since one division can't do it, can it be organized into a brigade?"
It can't be a division, it's a brigade.
A reinforced brigade, too, is possible.
When the time comes, it will also be used as a division.
Moreover, for the combat effectiveness of Li Lei's regiment, the tiger boy had a real feeling for the first time.
One regiment was able to take out two wings of the Japanese army.
It's a miracle.
If the three regiments in Nanshan are reorganized into a brigade, such combat effectiveness is very much expected by Tiger Boy.
If this brigade can compete with a detachment of the Japanese army, then in this battle of Changsha, the balance of victory will be tilted in favor of itself.
The chief of staff nodded and went again.
Soon the New Fourth Army called back and agreed.
But they also have a condition, they must allocate the ammunition supply of this brigade in full.
If you can, give the brigade an official number.
What is the official number?
The tiger boy was stunned, he couldn't do this.
The number of the establishment of a unit is not something he can decide.
This has to ask the old bald head.
But you don't have to ask to know that the old bald head will definitely not agree.
Tiger Tsai said that he would definitely allocate the weapons and ammunition of this brigade in full, and even the military salary would be paid in full.
But there is nothing he can do about the issue of compiling the number.
The head of the New Fourth Army knew that the tiger boy could not decide the issue of the number.
The reason why they said this was to remind him that our army does not have a number.
Thousands of people are here to fight to the death against the Japanese army, and you, as the supreme commander of this war, can't shadow us.
Soon, the order of the New Fourth Army was issued to the whole army.
Li Lei's new Third Regiment, Li Yunlong's Independent Regiment, and Chu Yunfei's Second Independent Regiment were temporarily combined into the New First Brigade of the New Fourth Army.
Brigade Commander Li Lei, Political Commissar Zhao Gang, Deputy Brigade Commander Li Yunlong, and Chief of Staff Chu Yunfei.
Under the new 1st Brigade are three regiments, which are still the new 3rd Regiment, the Independent Regiment, and the 2nd Independent Regiment.
Because of the suddenness of events, in order to avoid confusion among the fighters, the names of the three regiments were not changed.
Li Da, head of the new third regiment, Zhou Weiguo, head of the independent regiment, and Liu Yuan, head of the second independent regiment.
The biggest change is to let Zhou Weiguo go from the New Third Regiment to the Independent Regiment.
Li Yunlong didn't say anything about this.
Zhou Weiguo's ability, that's there.
And before joining the Eighth Route Army, he was already the commander of the regiment.
Now it's just a return to the old business.
To be the head of the independent regiment, no problem.
The combat effectiveness of the separate regiment can be fully guaranteed.
After the merger of the three regiments was completed, the commander of the New Fourth Army telegraphed the results to Tiger Boy.
Tiger Boy immediately informed the entire Eleventh Army.
In this way, everyone knows that there is an additional reinforced brigade in their army.
For such sudden news, Li Lei was very surprised.
I am a brigade commander?
This...... Li Yunlong and Chu Yunfei have become my subordinates......
Are you kidding?
Li Lei disagreed.
As soon as the words came out, he was scolded by Li Yunlong and spat on his face.
Li Lei, what kind of fool are you kidding?
If you are not a brigade commander, who will be a brigade commander?
You can't let me be, can you?
What time is it?
Let you be when you be, what so much nonsense? You're usually a good person, why do you shrink back when it comes to making you an official?
Isn't it a gentleman?
Our three regiments, when we came, our chief hinted at it, let the two of us listen to you.
Now you're a brigade commander, and rightly so.
You're a fart!
Give me the brigade commander as soon as possible.
If you're a, be careful that my old Li whips you!
Regarding Li Lei's appointment as brigade commander, Li Yunlong and Chu Yunfei were convinced.
Didn't say it.
If nothing else, let's just say that this time he took a regiment and was able to kill two wings of the Japanese army, who can do it if you put it on any other regiment commander?
Li Yunlong thought, he couldn't do it anyway.
Not to mention that it couldn't be done, he didn't even dare to think about it.
Even if he went with the independent regiment, he would be defeated at most.
If he wanted to be annihilated, he asked himself if he had that ability.
From this alone, it can be seen that Li Lei's command ability has surpassed him.
As for Chu Yunfei, he was even more convinced.
Li Yunlong can't be a brigade commander, and he Chu Yunfei can't be either.
For those who are capable, in the army, it should be like this.
Only in this way can the battle be won.
The commander of the New Fourth Army told the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army in Shanxi about the merger of the three regiments.
It made the leaders of the Eighth Route Army in Shanxi feel very novel.
Li Lei, this kid can!
Within a few days of being there, he became a brigade commander!
That's fast enough.
Although it is only temporary, it is also earned by ability.
Our Shanxi Eighth Route Army is to produce talents.
As soon as Li Lei became the brigade commander, the Japanese attack on Nanchang began.
However, because the Japanese army attacking Nanshan was annihilated, the Mitsui Wing transferred by Okamura Ninji was on the way and had not yet arrived, so the attack was postponed by two hours.
Changed to a nine-point attack.
Li Lei won't care about this.
If you don't attack, then I'm going to attack.
Li Lei looked at his watch, it was already seven o'clock.
It's dawn.
"Order Wang Han's planes to all be dispatched. Blow up the heavy artillery wing of the Japanese army. ”
Okamura Ninji's Eleventh Army was a heavy artillery wing.
But there are no less artillery pieces in the configuration.
For such a field division, the heavy artillery wing should be equipped with almost forty heavy guns.
The configuration here should be only one-third, or even less.
In this way, Wang Han's thirteen planes want to blow up all the heavy artillery positions of the Japanese army here at once, and it is not a big problem.
Now that the Japanese army has begun to attack Linxiang and Yueyang, Okamura Ningji's heavy artillery wing will definitely not all be concentrated here in Nanchang.
At least more than half of them should be in Hunan.
Although the strategic location of Nanchang is important, it is clear that Okamura Ninji's attack on Nanchang is a bit contemptuous.
His focus is still in Hunan.
Otherwise, I wouldn't have let a sixth division come to capture Nanchang.
His plane is gone, and he actually let a division come over, which is obvious, Okamura Ninji didn't pay much attention to Nanchang.
Or rather, he's too confident.
In this case, let your Sixth Division stay in Nanchang.
Li Lei had a bold plan in his heart.
This plan is dangerous.
However, as long as it is executed well, it is still possible to completely annihilate the Sixth Division.
It's hard to say now, but when today's battle is over, look at the extent of the Japanese attack, and he will have the bottom.
Wang Han's plane departed.
Buzzing from the airfield of the 2nd regiment.
Loaded with huge bombs, it flew towards the Japanese heavy artillery position.
Thirteen planes formed a formation in the sky and flew towards the Japanese position.
The commander of the 2nd Regiment, who was guarding the planes on the ground, tilted his head and watched his unit's planes gradually move away, and his heart was full of emotion.
We also have our own planes.
Wang Han flew all the way with the formation of planes.
The location is already known, and when you get there, just throw the bomb and you're done.
"Attention all aircraft, echelon bombing, target Japanese heavy artillery."
In order to ensure the effect of the bombing, Wang Han demanded that he must not panic, and aimed at the heavy artillery of the Japanese army before touching the bomb.
On the heavy artillery positions of the Japanese army, there will be no anti-aircraft fire.
Little did they know that their side would send planes to bomb their heavy artillery wing.
The previous troops had never done this.
Wang Han: They soon flew to the target.
