After a day's march, the troops could finally rest, and after Wang Lung arranged the vigilance of the troops, he also sat down, lay on the ground, and chewed dry food like the soldiers, at this time the two regiment commanders came over, sat next to Wang Lung, and also began to rest. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"Division Commander, how are we going, why are we going to our Black Mountain base?" Li Min looked at his division commander with a puzzled expression.

Wang Lung looked at the mountain next to him, and suddenly thought that the headquarters said that he would let his troops go south but did not explain what the reason was, but Wang Lung knew that he was just about to use the blade, and he was now the strength of a division, and his combat effectiveness was strong, which was what the official headquarters needed.

"Are there many cadres and fighters below who have such thoughts?" Wang Lung thought Li Min asked.

They nodded together.

"Okay,......" Wang Lung told them about his conjecture and the idea of headquarters.

"Divisional commander, I know it's wrong." After listening to Wang Lung's words, Li Min and Guan Liang, the second head of the regiment, lowered their heads.

"Well, I don't blame you, I didn't tell you, now you know, but the comrades below don't know yet, you all hurry up and implement this matter, don't let the soldiers' thoughts fluctuate, and let the soldiers hurry up and rest, tomorrow morning at 6 o'clock you have breakfast, 7 o'clock to start departure, I hope you can reach the vicinity of Liangcheng tomorrow night. Go for it! ”

"Yes, Commander." Looking at the backs of the two, Wang Lung suddenly thought that many people in the follow-up troops should have such thoughts. Thinking of this, Wang Lung immediately stood up and walked towards the radio.

"Division commander, a telegram from the reconnaissance battalion." It turned out that the reconnaissance company set off on war horses in the morning under the order of Wang Lung, and they rushed to the periphery of Liangcheng at about six o'clock in the afternoon, in order to better reconnoiter the enemy's situation, some of them mixed into the city in disguise, and some of them tried to catch some prisoners outside the city, and soon, all the information was in Wang Lung's hands.

"Division commander, after reconnaissance, at this time there is a garrison division of the puppet army stationed in Liangcheng, as well as a brigade of devils and an artillery regiment."

After reading the telegram, Wang Lung was stunned, in his eyes, a county town has at most one regiment of troops, but now there are so many troops, Wang Lung sat on the ground and smoked quietly, "Send a report to the reconnaissance battalion immediately, see if there is anything around Liangcheng County that we can ambush or we can go directly through Liangcheng without fighting Liangcheng." ”

Soon, a telegram arrived, and it was clear that the scouts had all the information cleared. "According to the investigation, there is a small road that can pass through the troops at a distance of 8 miles from a building in Liangcheng County, but the baggage cannot pass, but according to the indications, the enemy troops in Liangcheng County may have to be dispatched, and the preliminary investigation knows that Liangcheng County will escort a batch of gold and silver to Datong in the past two days, and the specific amount is unknown." Looking at the telegram sent by the scout, Wang Lung smiled.

"Send a report to the headquarters to see if you have learned the specific time and route of the escort of the gold and silver troops, be quick!" Soon, the head of the headquarters received a telegram from Wang Long: "Boss, Wang Lung asked us about the dispatch of the Japanese puppet army stationed in Liangcheng. Mr. Zhu took the telegram.

"Well, it seems that this kid is ready to take the defenders of Liangcheng County, haha, Chief of Staff, quickly, send him everything we know, and ask them what they need and help." Seeing Mr. Zhu's happy appearance, Chief of Staff Ye reminded: "Mr. Zhu, that's the strength of a division, and there is also an artillery regiment of devils, can Wang Long and their 88th division bite it?" ”

"Chief of Staff, don't underestimate which Wang Long, now there are at least 2 divisions of people who have died in his hands, and now he is strong and strong, he should be able to, and besides, this kid took the initiative to ask for it, I think he should be sure, I really want to meet Wang Long, the hero of the Eighth Route Army, now." After saying that, he laughed.

After reading the telegram from the boss, Wang Long was not polite, and immediately said, "Send a report to the boss, just say that our department is in urgent need of battalion-level political cadres, and there is also a shortage of division political commissars, chiefs of staff, and chiefs of staff of three regiments. After saying that, he smiled.

"Boss, Wang Lung, this kid is really good, stretch out your hand to ask for someone, and then you can solve the trouble you find." After speaking, he handed the telegram to the boss, sat on the stool next to him, and drank tea with a smile. "Oh my God, a division commissar and chief of staff...... He really dared to ask for it. This matter must be reported to the Central Committee, although the 88th Division is said to be under the jurisdiction of the headquarters, but this matter also needs to be notified to the Central Committee! I think Ai Chunan was sent to be the political commissar, and Li Zuopeng was sent to be the chief of staff, are they all young? Easy to get along, how's that? ”

Chief of Staff Ye thought about it, nodded, and walked out to draft a telegram for the Central Committee.

"Chairman, what do you think, at the request of Wang Long, the boss transferred Ai Chunan and Li Zuopeng to the 88th Division as chief of staff, hehe, Wang Long's kid really dares to ask for someone." Vice Chairman Zhou said with a smile.

"I don't have any ideas, Wang Long's kid is too young, let them bring more than 10,000 people, it's really difficult for them, Ai Chunan, Li Zuopeng, I think it's okay, what do you think?"

"I agree with Lao Mao's opinion, and agree to transfer Li Zuopeng to the past, the 88th Division is stronger than his current one, with more than 10,000 people and good weapons."

"Since we all agree, then I'll go and send the report." Vice Chairman Zhou walked out of the resting room.

"Comrade Wang Long: With the approval of the Central Revolutionary Military Commission, Ai Chunan was sent to inform him as political commissar and Comrade Li Zuopeng as chief of staff of the 88th Division, led by Comrade Ai Chunan, to lead 100 political cadres to set off tonight, and it is expected that they will arrive near the Qingshui River the day after tomorrow, and hope to send troops to meet them. Zhu De, Ye Jianying"

After reading the telegram, Wang Lung's hands were trembling, did his arrival really change history, you must know that Ai Chunan and Li Zuopeng in history are all great tasks! Now that he has become his own political commissar and chief of staff, can he not be excited?

"Xuanyi, call Xuanyi quickly," Wang Lung excitedly called out to the correspondent next to him.

"Xuanyi, now give you a task, take your guard battalion, set off now, lead a radio station from the division headquarters, find the scout near Liangcheng, and let the scout send someone to take you around the county seat, go straight to the Qingshui River, where to pick up the people assigned by the boss, tell you, there is the newly appointed political commissar and chief of staff of our 88th Division, you kid be careful for me, don't have any accidents, do you hear?"

"Yes, division commander, I promise to complete the task." After saying that, he disappeared into the vast night.

"Call the two regiment commanders over for a meeting."

The two regiment commanders soon came to Wang Lung and sat down, after Wang Lung gave a brief briefing, the faces of the two regiment commanders showed an ugly look, you know, that is the strength of a division, and there is also the vitality of an artillery regiment, more than 10,000 people, not good, the 88th Division will capsize this time.

"What's the matter, hehe, don't you have confidence, when the time comes, our three main regiments, a special regiment, and I'm afraid that he will have a division, and I will scare you, I think so, let's clean up one by one this time, it's really not good, let's eat less first, what do you think?" Wang Lung looked at them and said.

"Division commander, it's no problem for our three regiments plus a special regiment to eat one of his brigades, but what about a brigade of devils?" Commander Li Min thought of the combat effectiveness of the 88th Division and said affirmatively.

"Yes, division commander, a brigade of devils is not a joke, won't he come out to reinforce, and I don't know if it's a devil or a puppet army escorted this time?" Guan Liang, the second head of the regiment, raised his own questions.

"Well, that's the question, that's what I think,......" After listening to the teacher's words, the two of them smiled at the same time.

Soon, the 88th Division immediately began to move, and the commander of the third regiment also received an order to lead his regimental artillery company to start rushing overnight to rush to the vanguard troops, leaving only the third battalion and one recruit battalion under the command of the political commissar to serve as the rear guard of the whole army.

The next day, until 9 o'clock, I saw the commander of the third regiment who served as the rearguard rushing over with two battalions, and after the two armies converged and rested for an hour, they immediately rushed to Liangcheng, and finally, in the evening, they finally connected with the reconnaissance battalion. Wang Long thought about it for a while, ordered the soldiers to rest for two hours, and under the leadership of the reconnaissance battalion, set off overnight, and finally at dawn, all the 7,000 people of the whole division bypassed Liangcheng County and entered the mountains to hide.

And Xuan Er also rushed to the vicinity of Liangcheng with the logistics recruit regiment and the two recruit battalions who rushed to hide and wait for further orders from the division commander.

Just when Wang Lung was thinking about his next move, a report interrupted Wang Lung's thoughts, and he saw Xuanyi standing in front of Wang Long with two young cadres. hurriedly walked over, held their hands and said excitedly: "Comrade Ai Chunan and Li Zuopeng?" Welcome to the 88th Division, I'm Wang Long, come, please sit, please sit. ”

At this time, Ai Chunan and Li Zuopeng also looked at the young man in front of them blankly, they couldn't believe it, just like a student, they became the heroes of the Eighth Route Army, in the face of Wang Long's enthusiasm, Ai Chunan and Li Zuopeng hurriedly reflected from their own thoughts, "Report to Division Commander Liu, 88th Division Political Commissar Ai Chunan, and Chief of Staff Li Zuopeng came to report." ”

Maybe it was because all three of them were young people, and within a few minutes, the three of them were talking. When they heard that Wang Long was going to annihilate the enemy with the strength of his three regiments, Ai Chunan and Li Zuopeng were stunned and hurriedly reminded: "Division commander, I want to ask how many people there are in the three regiments!" Will there be too few ambushes,"

Looking at Li Zuopeng's surprised expression, Wang Long explained: "Hehe, Chief of Staff, don't worry, these three regiments have a total of more than 7,000 people without new barracks, and although it is a bit difficult to ambush 10,000 people, it should be able to take it,"

Looking at Wang Long's confident expression, Li Zuopeng still showed an expression of disbelief, "Division commander, our number is still less than the enemy's, you must know that the devil's firepower is very strong, although we don't pay attention to a division of the puppet army, but it's mainly the devil, and we are far inferior to them!" The division commander should not underestimate the enemy! ”

"Hehe, Chief of Staff, you still don't know about the firepower of the 88th Division, I'll tell you, so that you can understand the 88th Division more clearly, so that it is convenient to command the 88th Division in the future There are three main regiments, a special regiment, and a new regiment, each of the three main forces regiments has three main battalions, an artillery company, and a cavalry company, the main battalion has a heavy machine gun company, the division headquarters has an artillery regiment and a heavy machine gun battalion, and the infantry squad has a light machine gun in each squad, and the firepower will not be weaker than that of the devil."

Hearing this, Ai Chunan and Li Zuopeng were stunned, the firepower was so powerful, "Division commander, I want to ask if there are more cannons and machine guns in the whole division" Li Zuopeng asked in a daze.

"Hehe, it's not much, there are 3 Type 92 infantry, more than 150 mortars, about 200 heavy machine guns, I don't know the specific number of light machine guns, there should be nearly 100 or so in each regiment!" Wang Lung looked at Ai Chunan and Li Zuopeng with a shocked face. He knew how shocking such a powerful firepower was for the commanders and fighters of the Eighth Route Army, who had been short of guns and ammunition, and he knew it. So sit there quietly and wait.

Ai Chunan and Li Zuopeng were still depressed about transferring themselves to an 88th Division as political commissar and chief of staff, but now they don't think like this, in such a unit, they are willing to let themselves be regiment commanders, and this kind of firepower may not be able to catch up with the entire Eighth Route Army, if he knew that the logistics department still had thousands of rifles and nearly 100 light machine guns that no one used, he would definitely be shocked to death, and when he saw Wang Lung staring at him, he immediately reacted.

"Commander, I was so shocked just now, I really didn't expect it, hehe, now let's discuss how to fight this battle!" Li Zuopeng smiled embarrassedly.
