Chapter 80, Joint Operations
"What? All evacuated Lu'an? Early the next morning, Jiang Guangtou in Chongqing got the news that the team that captured Lu'an left Lu'an overnight with all the people of Lu'an, and now Lu'an is almost a dead city.
"Niang Xipi, Niang Xipi." the mantra, the bald head walked around the house, because Lu Qiang defeated Lu'an, which was the first counteroffensive since the Anti-Japanese War, which was of great significance, and he originally wanted to take this opportunity to hold a press conference, taking the opportunity to encircle the other party under his command, and at the same time with the help of this victory, to see if he could attract foreign Chinese assistance, which was originally a good calculation, but now it has become a joke because of the sudden withdrawal of the other party, and he has already contacted the reporter, and now it is only an hour before the press conference, and now there is this file again, let him explain.
Comrade Chiang's sorrow, Comrade Lu Qiang will not understand, he now has a lot of things to do, to prevent the Japanese army from counterattacking, to build a large number of fortifications, and to step up the training of new soldiers.
At this time, Bai Jiuren came up again, "Brother Lu, you are so tight, you actually defeated Lu'an, which made the devil crazy, and a large number of troops gathered here, and we didn't dare to move." As soon as they met, Bai Jiuren sighed, on the one hand, he sighed at Lu Qiang's courage, and on the other hand, it was the devil's current big move, gathering troops everywhere, causing them to dare not move now.
"It's so dangerous, why are you still coming out?" Lu Qiang shook a look of contempt.
"Huh!" Hearing this, Bai Jiuren smiled, and didn't care about Lu Qiang's contempt, and said cheekily: "That Brother Lu, can you borrow some more?" ”
"Borrow what?" Lu Qiang glanced at him lightly and asked knowingly.
"You know." Bai Jiuren guided Lu Qiang with his arm, like a little daughter-in-law, and winked at Lu Qiang.
"Gross!" Lu Qiang almost didn't throw it up, a man with five big and three rough learned what kind of little daughter-in-law sells cuteness, and blinked, purely disgusting him, "You are a big man with three big and three rough pretending to be a little daughter-in-law, where are you looking at me unpleasantly, so are you disgusting me?" ”
"No, no, not at all." Bai Jiuren hurriedly explained, then rubbed his hands and said, "That, I just want to borrow some weapons and ammunition." After speaking, he looked up at Lu Qiang, who was expressionless, and hurriedly continued, "We have an IOU." ”
"Yes." Lu Qiang replied, borrowing weapons and equipment, he was very happy, he borrowed a batch of equipment from them before, but in just a few months, he almost recovered the cost, and then began to make a profit, such a good thing, why not do it, "How many guns, by the way, did you bring those broken guns?" ”
Hearing Lu Qiang's agreement, Bai Jiuren immediately smiled, and hurriedly nodded, "Bring it, this time I am going to form a mortar regiment and a reinforced battalion, so I want some mortars, machine guns and ammunition." ”
"Oh?!" Lu Qiang glanced at Bai Jiuren in some surprise, but he didn't ask much, he wrenched his fingers and said, "50 60mm mortars, 30 machine guns, and 10 bases of ammunition, how about it?" ”
"Yes, you can." Bai Jiuren hurriedly nodded in response, and then began to exchange, a batch of new and old manual rifles were taken to Lu Qiang's warehouse, and then the mortar, machine gun and ammunition were handed over to Bai Jiuren, and finally the two sides also signed an IOU, Bai Jiuren took out the IOU, which had already signed the signatures of Ye Ting, Xiang Ying and others, Lu Qiang only needed to write down the content of the IOU, sign two copies, and each party should hold one copy.
The two of them each put away the IOU, and suddenly Lu Qiang asked, "Do you have any time in your Fourth Army?" ”
"Yes." Bai Jiuren replied without thinking about it, and then reacted and asked, "Is there something wrong?" ”
"I want to join forces with you and fight an ambush war." Lu Qiang stared at Bai Jiuren and said.
"What? Ambush warfare? Bai Jiuren was taken aback.
"Well, that's right, it's an ambush." Lu Qiang nodded in response.
"Hit whom?" Bai Jiuren asked, and then continued, "If it's just a small ambush battle, I can be the master and borrow troops, but if the number is large, then I can't be the master." ”
"What I want to fight is the reinforcements that the Japanese army transferred back from the front line, about the strength of a division of the first division, I have too few people to surround them at all." Lu Qiang explained.
"A Seed Division?!" Bai Jiuren was shocked, looking at the young man in front of him, he didn't expect him to be so bold and ambush a first-class division. The A division is much stronger than the B division they fought, and they have not yet beaten the Japanese army A division. "I can't call the shots on this matter, I'll have to ask when I go back."
"When you come back, the daylilies are cold, I have a radio here, you can send a message back and ask if it's okay." Lu Qiang said.
"Okay." Bai Jiuren listened to Lu Qiang's advice and immediately sent a telegram to his headquarters.
In a certain civilian house, from the outside, no one knew that this was the headquarters of the New Fourth Army.
Inside the house, all the high-level leaders of the Fourth Army were inside, and several Eight Immortal Tables were put together, and it became a conference table, and there was only one porcelain jar to drink water by everyone's side, and then there was a white paper in the middle of the table, and there were dense small words written on the white paper, this telegram, they had all read it, and they were discussing it now. There is no consensus on whether or not to send troops, with some believing that it is feasible and others believing that it is too risky.
However, no matter how fierce their competition was, the final decision was still in the hands of Commander Ye/Ting, and most of them also agreed to send troops, because Lu Qiang's conditions were too tempting, and all the weapons, ammunition, accommodation, and food of all the participating troops of their Fourth Army in this battle were reimbursed by Lu Qiang, and after the war, they captured three or seven points, three of them, Lu Qiang seven, even if it was three, they also took a big advantage. In other words, they only need to bring people to this battle, and they don't need to bring anything else, they only need to bear the battle damage and casualties after the war. Killed in battle and all kinds of attrition, their Fourth Army can already be said to be accustomed to it, and it can't be said to be used to it, just because the weapons are too poor, and there are too many losses in fighting with devils.
The Fourth Army contributed people, and after the war, it was captured by thirty percent, and Lu Qiang produced weapons and ammunition, but after the war, it was captured by seventy percent, it seems that Lu Qiang took advantage of it, but in fact, Lu Qiang has already lost money, because the weapons and ammunition are all out of him, and the Fourth Army came empty-handed, holding the weapons he provided, and it is almost impossible to return them after the war. You must know that Lu Qiang is thin-skinned, and he has never even held a girl's hand so far, just with his scarce language, in addition to being able to chat on penguins, who else can he speak, even if it has been a year, his language ability has not improved much, but his skin is thicker. In this way, Lu Qiang will lose a large number of weapons, but he doesn't care, if he kills all those devils, then he can take them back a thousand times.
"Call back, just say that we agree to borrow troops, but we must have a certain amount of command." Ye Ting, who was sitting on the head, said, "Also, write that we will lend them all four detachments." ”
"That's too much, isn't it?" As soon as Ye Ting finished speaking, everyone was a little surprised, they originally thought that they would only borrow one or two detachments, but they didn't expect to lend all the troops to Lu Qiang.
"Alas~~, not much but less, we don't need to bring any weapons in this battle, so the weapons we are equipped with now can be thrown away, get there, that Lu Xiaoyou returned the weapon to us, the weapon is in our hands, I don't think he has the idea of going back, in this way, we have another saber weapon, and we can expand the team when the time comes." Deputy Commander Xiang Yingxiang, who was sitting on the lower left of Ye Ting, said with a smile, compared to Ye Ting, this person's stomach is very dark.
Listening to Xiang Ying's words, the others suddenly realized that in this way, they took advantage of it, "Will the other party agree?" Someone asked.
"Our little friend has been helping us and opening a lot of back doors for us, is this really good?" Gao Jingting on the side said, there is finally one that is not black.
"It's a big deal that we have an IOU, we owe them about a thousand oceans now, anyway, it's not bad, and if there are more lice, it won't itch." Xiang Ying waved his hand and said indifferently.
"Comrade Xiang Ying, we owe that ocean now, there are already 21 million." Su Yu, who was sitting on the side, suddenly mended his knife and said, "This is still discounted by them."
"Uh~" Deputy Commander Xiang paused, but quickly put on a shameless look and said, "It's all so much, that's better, I owe so much, so why owe some." ”
Well, since you've always said that, then who else do we have anything to say, so this is the end of this meeting, and the commanders go home and pack up, bringing only some tools, and no other weapons and ammunition, and set off empty-handed to the target place.
received a call back from the Fourth Army, Lu Qiang read it, and agreed without saying a word, especially if they wanted to command, Lu Qiang did not object, but welcomed it very much, because he could only lead the troops to fight small battles in wars, like this kind of big battles, he couldn't command them at all, originally he wanted to borrow a few people from the Fourth Army who could fight, such as Su Yu, Chen Yi, or something, since the opposite side of the mouth, it would save him from being knocked when he went to borrow someone.
This time the joint operation was decided in this way, Lu Qiang asked the other side by the way how many people there were, originally estimated that the main combat strength was about 10,000 people, but the results were shocked, the entire New Fourth Army now has more than 20,000 main combat forces, this does not include guerrillas, if it includes guerrillas, it is estimated to be 40,000. Hearing this number, Lu Qiang almost scolded B on the spot, you have expanded so many people, you are not afraid that Jiang Guangtou will come to you to settle accounts, but he just complained, just because the number of people was too much than he thought, and the things were not enough, and he had to work hard to continue to prepare materials.
The weapons prepared by Lu Qiang for the Fourth Army are 56 and a half, and 81 bars are not used by them, and the food is compressed dry food during the war, presumably they don't mind, because the compressed dry food tastes much more than they just drink porridge, and they are even more hungry, and they still eat military food during non-war times, but this military food is not compressed biscuits, but individual rations, and the things in it are rich, self-heating rice, desserts, drinks, biscuits, etc., living in tents, this is no second choice, as well as grenades, mines and other bits and pieces, Lu Qiang has to prepare.
