According to Li Yunlong's plan, this time the Iron Brigade will carry out a two-front operation of the Eastern Expedition and the Northern Expedition.

The main purpose of the Eastern Crusade was to control Shanghai, and according to the strategy and plan, the main route of the Eastern Crusade was to first go out to Henan, from Henan to Anhui, followed by approaching Jiangsu, ~ to capture Shanghai.

As a large port city at that time, Shanghai's strategic position was also self-evident.

If the Iron Brigade wants to develop a navy, then there must be a port city, and all things considered, this Shanghai is a good location, just suitable for the Iron Brigade to develop the navy and expand its military strength.

Li Yunlong's idea is very long-term, and it is impossible to develop a navy in the interior at present, but if he wants to return to the mainland for a counteroffensive, then he needs a strong navy and air force.

The main purpose of the Northern Expedition was Beiping and the three northeastern provinces, and the northward expedition route was as long as the troops from Shanxi first attacked Hebei, entered Shandong from Hebei, and then went north from Shandong and the troops of the Eastern Expedition to the three eastern provinces.

In the operational command room, there are now two days left before the time to set out for the battle.

Zhang Dabiao, Li Xiangyang, Zhou Weiguo and others were all discussing the final matters of the Eastern Expedition and the Northern Expedition.

"Division commander, we are going out to mobilize the people, which is very unfavorable to our logistics!" He Jun said: "A lot of materials are difficult to deliver! ”

"Lao He, what's going on in your head?" Li Yunlong said angrily: "You don't want to think about whose territory this is, it's our own territory!" Where there are people, we have the logistics! ”

Indeed, with the prestige and prestige of the Iron Brigade, it will definitely be supported by the local people, so there is no need to worry about logistics at all!

Li Yunlong looked at all the officers present and said: "At present, we have determined the Eastern Expedition and the Northern Expedition to fight on two fronts, please remember that if we rely on our own ability to attack slowly, I need to unite the local troops and the common people, so that the attack will be slow!" ”

"Yes!" Everyone shouted in unison.

Immediately afterwards, Li Yunlong, Li Xiangyang, Zhou Weiguo and others began to do the best discussion on the route and operational details of the Eastern Expedition and the Northern Expedition.

Two days later, Taiyuan Street.

At this moment, the crowds on both sides of the streets of Taiyuan were surging, full of men, women and children, they were all ordinary people in Taiyuan City, and when they learned that the Iron and Blood Brigade was going to go on the expedition, they spontaneously came to both sides of the street to see off these warriors.

The Iron Brigade will win, invincible!

Warrior heroes, we are waiting for your triumphant return!

Resist Japan to save the country and restore China!

Sweep away the Japanese invaders and return my rivers and mountains!

……

Many banners and posters were displayed on both sides of the street, all of which were spontaneously seeing off the soldiers.

Li Yunlong sat on the back of the red rabbit horse, looking at the people on both sides, they were shouting Li Yunlong excitedly.

"Li Yingying!"

"Li Yingying, return triumphantly!"

……

Li Yunlong kept waving his hand to the people, signaling them to rest assured.

Because there are many local soldiers and soldiers in Taiyuan in the iron-blooded brigade, Li Yunlong specially approved that he could stay for five minutes to say goodbye to his family and ordinary people.

"Son, don't worry about your mother, kill the devil well!"

"Mother, I will!"

"Grandson, when you go to the battlefield, you must kill more devils and avenge your father!"

"Don't worry, grandpa, I will definitely make the little devil pay the price of blood!"

"Kill the enemy well and serve the country."

……

The whole street was filled with all sorts of goodbyes, and many sobbing and sobbing sounds could be heard faintly and intermittently.

Because many people know that it is still unknown whether they can come back alive when they go to the battlefield.

Li Yunlong sat on his horse and looked at such a scene, and his heart was a little moved: War is cruel, but people are always needed to stand up and defend the country, and if everyone protects themselves, the country will die.

After saying goodbye, the army of the Iron Brigade came out of Taiyuan in a mighty way.

At present, the government headquarters of the Wang puppet government is in Nanjing, that is, in Jiangsu, because the deployment and resistance of the Japanese puppet army will definitely be very crazy, plus Shanghai is such an important city, the little devils will definitely not let it be lost, so the Eastern Expeditionary Army will face a vicious battle.

In these important big cities such as Shanghai and Nanjing, fierce battles are inevitable.

............

The main force deployment of the Northern Expeditionary Army was the elite brigade, and the troops of more than 20,000 people, including the 4th and 5th Iron-Blooded Brigades, were deployed to carry out the Northern Expedition. The commander-in-chief of the Northern Expeditionary Army was Zhang Dabiao, and Li Yunlong specially arranged a staff headquarters for the Northern Expeditionary Army for the strategic victory of the Northern Expeditionary Army.

The artillery regiment under Wang Chengzhu's field independent artillery brigade and the cavalry regiment under the jurisdiction of Sun Desheng's cavalry brigade joined the Eastern Expeditionary Army and the Northern Expeditionary Army in batches, and only belonged to the headquarters.

The Eastern Expeditionary Army and the Northern Expeditionary Army of the Iron and Blood Brigade began to attack the two cities of Henan and Hebei.

Li Yunlong led the Eastern Expeditionary Force into the border of Henan three days later, and the province is still an enemy-occupied area.

Because Li Yunlong's Eastern Expeditionary Force was mighty and constantly conquered cities along the way, many small county towns occupied by the Japanese army in Hebei were recovered one after another.

The momentum is like a bamboo, and the offensive is ferocious!

The soldiers of the entire iron-blooded brigade were all high-spirited, and the Japanese army was frightened and frightened, and in just half a month, they had already attacked Luoyang, Henan!
