As soon as Yue Siliang said this, Li Ke also laughed.

"Haha, won't I just come back?"

Li Ke and Yue Siliang can be said to be old friends, in the early days of the end of the Long March, he once cooperated with Yue Siliang for a long time as the deputy of the 17th Regiment, and in the battle of Zhiluo Town, it was Li Ke who led the team to go deep into the enemy formation and defeat Niu Yuanfeng's headquarters.

It is precisely because of Li Ke's outstanding ability that he was valued by his superiors, and he was entrusted with another important task after being transferred from the 17th Regiment. Yue Siliang just joked that the 424 regiment was Li Ke's maiden family, which was reasonable.

The two shook hands again and headed into town. At this time, a relatively intact house had already been cleaned up in the town to serve as a temporary headquarters.

"In the first battle of Nanzhang, the 424th Regiment defeated the Japanese army, which can be described as a large number of people's hearts, my cavalry battalion can participate in such a battle, Sansheng is lucky!"

Looking at the devastation in the town, Li Ke alone could feel the fierceness of the battle. While smacking his tongue secretly, he was still a little excited in his heart.

As a soldier, a commander, it is impossible to win battles all the time. And a battle like Nanzhang's brilliant results and hearty victory is even more indispensable. To be able to participate in such a battle, Li Ke is also honored.

"What is this that you and my brother need to say such extraordinary? If it weren't for the cavalry battalion that broke the siege in the end, the outcome of this battle would not have been known. ”

Yue Siliang said as he punched Li Ke in the chest, then pulled him to sit down and said with a serious face.

"Ke, this fight with the devil is far from over, and Nanzhang is only beating the side drum here.

The purpose of our battle this time is to break the enemy blockade, expand the living space, and restore our logistical access.

Eliminating the living force of the devils in the Lunan area is only the first step, and there are many things to be done in the future: restoring order, dividing the jurisdiction, guarding and guarding, and establishing the foundation.

The more we can't relax at this time, the battle with the brigade commander has reached the most critical time, if we casually relax our vigilance, it is likely to cause us to fall short. ”

Hearing the sound of the strings and knowing the elegant meaning, Li Ke is a smart person, and there is no need to speak too thoroughly with smart people. As soon as Yue Siliang's words were finished, Li Ke immediately understood what he meant.

"I know, before the specific order of the brigade commander is issued, all the security tasks will be handed over to our cavalry battalion."

Hearing Li Ke say this, Yue Siliang immediately cast a grateful gaze.

You must know that Li Ke is no longer his subordinate, although the rank of the battalion commander is lower than that of the regiment commander, but as the battalion commander of a special branch, Li Ke is not inferior to Yue Siliang to some extent.

But even so, Li Ke can still say such things, not only the feelings are worth remembering, but this overall view is also commendable.

"I won't say anything polite, but I guarantee here that before the brigade commander's order arrives, we will only cooperate with each other, and there is no question of who commands whom, in principle, we will consult on an equal footing and respect the independent command of both sides."

Whether it is a public or private relationship, the two can be called above board, but there are some things that should be said or must be said. Li Ke also understood this, so in the end, he just nodded lightly and didn't say anything more.

……

On the main battlefield in the area of Deer and Zhending, after getting the news of the victory in the direction of Nanzhang, the brigade commander of Yuanqing stomped his feet excitedly, and the final result was not only that his feet were numb, but the green bricks under his feet actually made the brigade commander stomp a piece like this!

"Yue Siliang! Yue Chongzhi! This Yue boy really gives me a long face! ”

Unlike Nanzhang, the battlefield here has a wider range of effects, and the number of participants is also larger, so the natural battlefield situation is much more complicated.

There is the starting point of the Shota Railway, which is an important layout of Little Japan, and various infrastructures have been built more solidly. Therefore, in the combat zone, there were several points that were met with stubborn resistance from the devils, so that the situation of fighting for a long time did not make much substantial progress.

In battle, once the situation becomes stalemate, it will have a great impact on the will of the person. At this time, the news of Nanzhang's victory came, which was tantamount to a shot in the arm for everyone! Otherwise, the brigade commander would not have seemed so excited.

"Brigade Commander, don't patronize Yue Siliang and forget about what is in front of us. This difficulty that we need to overcome is not inferior to the Nanzhang that Yue Siliang defeated! ”

Political Commissar Shi Xuan said with a smile on the side, he was also very satisfied with Yue Siliang's performance in Lunan.

"Can't you make me happy, dude? The battle in front of us is not easy to fight...... We don't even think about the important villages and towns along the railway, and it is absolutely impossible for the little devils to give them to us.

But fortunately, the 424th Regiment has shared a certain amount of pressure for us in Lunan, although it is impossible to stand still, we can still fight a sports battle with the little devils and defeat more living forces! Occupy the vast rural areas! Get ready for the battle that follows! ”

The brigade commander's vision is very far, and he is also very calm, and he is not carried away by the current victory, he knows very well that if he fights hard now, he will definitely be able to take the villages and towns that the devils value, and even the county seat!

But if that's the case, I'm afraid that after this battle, the army will be wasted, and there will be no strength to fight the devil in the next battle, and what is eaten at that time will have to be spit out by the devil as it is.

"Give me orders to all troops, don't think about eating a fat man! As long as we have accomplished this, we have achieved the purpose of this operation. ”

As he spoke, the brigade commander grabbed the red and blue pencils and drew a few lines on the map with a wave of his big hand.

"Outside these lines, it is our bottom line, and the results outside the line will be obtained if you get it, and you can't force it if you can't get it. Drive out the little devils in the line! ”

Looking at the few lines drawn by the brigade commander, the commissar nodded approvingly.

"Stick to the bottom line and stay calm. Brigadier, you're doing the right thing. If the battle can really develop in this direction, then the initiative in this battle is really in our hands, although the results may not be further expanded, but when this battle will end is up to us. ”

As soon as the political commissar's words were finished, the brigade commander paused heavily.

"Yes, that's all that matters. To fight a war, we must seize the initiative! ”

……

"Commander, what are you looking at?"

Seeing Yue Siliang standing silently in the ruins and looking around, Huang Kebei walked over and asked.

"Lao Huang, do you think this battle between us and the little devil is worth it?"

Huang Kebei, who was asked by Yue Siliang's question immediately, was a little confused, Huang Kebei has never been a reckless person, in the past, he only needed to consider the problem of a battalion, and the traditional battlefield combat form is often very simple. This also led to Huang Kebei not developing the habit of using his brain.

However, since he became the staff officer of the regiment headquarters, he was suddenly asked to consider the problem from the perspective of the whole regiment, and with the development of the whole regiment, the command in the process of operation has become more and more subtle and precise.

"What did the head of the regiment say? In a small way, the enemy is squeezing and blocking our living space, and this battle is what we must fight!

In general, in the 38th year, the enemy reduced the number of troops in North China. On this basis, we are doing our best to destroy the enemy's living forces, so that we can accomplish the task of pinning down the enemy and preparing for the frontal battlefield. ”

When Yue Siliang heard Huang Kebei say this, he immediately laughed, turned around and looked Huang Kebei up and down carefully.

"Commander?! What do you see I'm doing?! ”

Yue Siliang's eyes looked at Huang Kebei for a while.

"It's really rare, you Lao Huang have now learned to look at things from different angles.

Fortunately, since you also talked about the two angles of big and small, then I will also provide you with a third angle, which is smaller.

From the perspective of our regiment itself, the casualty statistics of each part have now been roughly released. More than half of the whole group was damaged! With such a big loss, if we want to recover again, it will be impossible without three months.

Thinking about it this way, is it worth it when we weigh the effort we have made in this battle and the results we have obtained? ”

As soon as Yue Siliang's words came out, Huang Kebei's eyes became unfamiliar when he looked at Yue Siliang.

"Commander, what's wrong with you today?! I still remember you told us that you can't do great things and spare your life!

It is incumbent upon you to fight devils, how can you hesitate because you are afraid of sacrifice!

What if our Eighth Route Army is cowardly in fighting devils? How can you point to the bystanders to join us? Isn't waking up the people of the country just an empty word?! ”

Huang Kebei's accusation made Yue Siliang stunned at that time, and then Yue Siliang couldn't stand it.

"You old yellow, your temper still hasn't changed, and you still criticize me. When did I say I wouldn't fight devils? I'm just reflecting on whether I would have developed such a tactic if I had been given another choice.

As I said earlier, the serious attrition of the team is a reality. Even if the team makes additions, let the number of people return to the original level. Wanting to have the combat power of the past is not something that can be accomplished overnight.

We're going to need at least three months, and it's three months of peace.

But will the enemy give us this time? The answer is no.

Japan's military service system is much more complete than ours, and their ability to mobilize soldiers in an instant is much stronger than ours. A wing is nothing more than a drop in the bucket for the Japanese Army.

Although we have eliminated Sasaki right now, I have a hunch that soon we will have new enemies.

Nanzhang battle, whether it is worth fighting like this, I'm afraid only time can give me the answer. ”
