Chapter 546: The First Time in North China (First Update)

January 4, 1938, 8 p.m. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Zhao Zhuang.

The room of Li Yunlong, commander of the 512th Regiment of the 887th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army.

The room of the head of the regiment, that is, an ordinary farmhouse, the facilities during the period are also very ordinary, nothing more than dilapidated large cabinets, tables, etc., but the fire kang is relatively large, and a small table is placed on the fire kang.

At this moment, Ouyang, Li Yunlong, Wang Yaqiao and Zhang Dabiao were sitting cross-legged on it, drinking wine, eating peanuts, and chatting.

"Yo ho, Lao Li, you can do it, you have hidden a lot of private goods, huh? This burning knife is authentic, strong enough, and drinking it is more enjoyable than the sake of the little devil! ”

Chief of Staff Wang Yaqiao teased at Li Yunlong, and when he spoke, he took a sip and was in a good mood.

"Hey, hey!"

Li Yunlong looked at Wang Yaqiao with a slightly flattering expression: "That's nature, the wine of his little devil who is a dog ~ day ~ , where can it compare to the wine left by our ancestors."

Let's not hide it from the two of you, just a few days ago, Kong Er, a kid, came to me to drink wine, and asked me to drink my burning knife by name.

Good guy, you two didn't see his dead beggar appearance, we didn't give him a drink when it was over, that guy was still blowing his beard and glaring at me, slapping the table.

This is also the arrival of the brigade commander and your chief of staff, and the old man has changed to someone else, so our old Li is willing to take it out, isn't it? ”

After saying this, Li Yunlong poured the wine in Wang Yaqiao's cup again.

Seeing this, Ouyang couldn't help but smile and said, "With your Li Yunlong's picky temperament, it's really not easy for you to drink your wine today!" ”

"Hehe, how can you!"

Hearing this, Li Yunlong hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Brigade commander, can you bury our Lao Li, we are honest people, don't you wear small shoes for our Lao Li?" ”

At that moment, Ouyang, Wang Yaqiao and Zhang Dabiao all laughed.

A few months ago, Ouyang had come to Zhaozhuang several times to inspect the work, and Li Yunlong also entertained himself many times, but if he wanted to drink his Li Yunlong's good wine, this kid also pushed and shouted many times, patted his chest and promised: I don't have alcohol, our old Li has already quit drinking!

After some gossip, the conversation got down to business.

Ouyang asked: "Li Yunlong, Zhang Dabiao, tell me about the current situation of your 887 regiment." ”

"Okay, let me tell you!"

Zhang Dabiao said: "Our 887 Regiment has three main battalions, plus some companies directly under the regiment headquarters and logistics teams, with a total strength of 3,200 people.

More than half of the soldiers were recruits who had enlisted in Guangzhou, and under the emergency training of our regiment this month, the overall combat effectiveness of our regiment has recovered a lot, and it can have seventy percent of what it was before the defense of Guangzhou. ”

Seventy percent?

At that moment, Ouyang nodded with satisfaction.

You must know that before the outbreak of the Battle of Guangzhou, the strength of the 512 Brigade was more than 7,500 people, and the combat effectiveness of the entire brigade at that time was also the strongest in history.

However, under a series of battles such as the Daya Bay Battle and the Baishiling Battle in the defense of Guangzhou, the 512 Brigade suffered losses and casualties, countless casualties among the soldiers, and the combat effectiveness was greatly damaged, and the overall combat effectiveness reached a freezing point.

Now, being able to restore seventy percent of the previous combat effectiveness, Ouyang is already very satisfied.

Ouyang turned his head to look at Li Yunlong, and asked again: "Lao Li, this afternoon, you said that you suffered a loss at the hands of the little devil a few days ago, what's going on?" ”

"Hey, when I mention this, I'm on fire!"

Li Yunlong said with a look on his face: "Don't hide it from the brigade commander, how many battles have our old Li participated in, but none of them were as aggrieved as a few days ago!"

You said that I took more than 1,000 people to set up an ambush for the little devils in the logistics transport team of only a few hundred people, and when our army occupied the advantage of strength and terrain, not to mention how many enemies were destroyed, there was no problem at all in defeating the little devils. ”

Li Yunlong said angrily: "But after more than an hour of fierce fighting, my mother was stunned and didn't get any bargains, the little devil didn't kill many people, but my mother lost nearly 100 people, you say, is this unjust?" ”

"Hmm!"

At that moment, Ouyang nodded heavily, and said in a deep voice: "This matter is indeed aggrieved, in the past, you Li Yunlong never made a loss-making deal, even in the face of the little devil's 5th Division, and he has not suffered this big loss, it seems that this newly formed Morita Brigade is indeed not simple!" ”

Zhang Dabiao immediately answered: "It's not like that, the little devil's logistics and transportation team has this kind of combat effectiveness, so how strong should the combat effectiveness of the main wing of the Morita Brigade be?" When you think about it, it feels creepy. ”

Li Yunlong and Zhang Dabiao are both bold and bold lords, who do not want to die when they fight, and dare to fight.

Being able to let the two of them say this at this moment is enough to prove the strength of Morita Brigade.

At noon today, after Ouyang arrived at Xiaowangzhuang, where Ge Zhenlin was stationed, not long after, Li Yunlong and Zhang Dabiao hurried over.

The brigade commander of the 33rd Army of the National Army, Ouyang's old friend Brigade Commander Zhang Zhengyu, also rushed here with two colonels of the National Army.

Zhang Zhengyu gave him the combat mission given to him by Shangfeng and talked to Ouyang in detail.

Hearing that he was going to attack the newly formed Morita Brigade of the Japanese Army, Ouyang's first feeling was that he wanted to refuse, but after thinking about it carefully, he hesitated again.

Yan Xishan, the boss of the Jin Sui Army, ordered Zhang Zhengyu to lead his troops to take the initiative to attack the Morita Brigade, and behind this incident, an important message was revealed.

You must know that before that, the entire Jin Sui Army in North China, including the Eighth Route Army under the leadership of our party, fought mainly against the Japanese army.

It's all little devils who attack, and our Chinese army is on passive defense and has always been in a very passive situation.

But now it's different!

After the Battle of Wuhan, although the Japanese army occupied Northeast China, North China, South China, Central China, East China and other places, and occupied almost half of China, they had to keep troops in the places they captured to garrison and consolidate the fruits of victory.

However, Japan is an island country after all, and their strategic depth is not large, and their number of troops is very scarce compared to China's huge forces.

At the same time, under the successive large-scale battles, the war resources of Japan ~ the local area were rapidly depleted, making it difficult for them to launch a series of large-scale battles again.

At this point, the situation of China's anti-Japanese struggle has changed from a passive defensive stage to a stage of anti-Japanese stalemate.

Under the new combat situation, the Central Army and the national armies in various localities, such as the Jin Sui Army, the Gui Army, and the Sichuan Army, also began to seek the initiative to attack.

In other words, to carry out a tentative active attack.

This is why Zhang Zhengyu now came to seek the help of the 512 Brigade and attack the Japanese army together.

If this battle is won, it will play a very positive role in the anti-Japanese struggle in the whole of North China in the future.

This battle will be a milestone commemorative significance.

The impact will also be enormous and unprecedented!

This is also the reason why Ouyang did not refuse Brigadier Zhang Zhengyu.

Ouyang responded to him: I need a few days to think about it, whether it is successful or not, I will reply to you.

~~~~~

Li Yunlong had a rare solemn expression, looked at Ouyang, and said in a deep voice: "Brigade commander, this little devil's Morita Wing is not simple, their infantry, artillery, cavalry, sappers and other troops are combined, but there are nearly 10,000 people.

Even if we act together with Zhang Zhengyu's Independent Sixth Brigade, I am afraid it will be difficult to inflict a huge blow on the Japanese army! ”

Chief of Staff Wang Yaqiao also frowned and said: "This time is not as usual, this time it is an active attack, not a passive defense, and it is the first large-scale attack in our North China against Japan."

For this aspect, whether it is our Eighth Route Army or his Jin Sui Army, they lack experience in this aspect, and it will be very difficult to operate! ”

Zhang Dabiao, the deputy commander of the regiment, followed closely and said: "If there is really a fight, it is impossible for the Japanese troops on the periphery of Baiqu City to watch it, and it is very likely that the action against the Morita Brigade will cause a strong backlash from the entire Japanese army in North China." ”

"Hmm!"

Ouyang nodded heavily: "That's true, the balance of the entire North China is now like a huge powder keg, and a spark can ignite."

If we really want to unite with Zhang Zhengyu's department and take the initiative to attack the Japanese army, it will be tantamount to breaking this combat situation of 'the Japanese army is attacking, and our Chinese army is defending'.

Regardless of whether this battle is won or lost, it will cause a great change in North China, and the results and effects are both happy and bad, which are unknown and unimaginable! ”

For a while, Ouyang, Wang Yaqiao, Li Yunlong, and Zhang Dabiao all frowned deeply.

North China's first large-scale initiative against Japan, its decision, impact, victory or defeat, etc., are all milestones!

This is the first time to take the initiative to attack!

At the moment, Ouyang didn't know how to reply to Zhang Zhengyu.

In the end, Ouyang said in a deep voice: "Forget it, let's not talk about this today, the day after tomorrow, I will go to the division headquarters first and learn more about it." ”

The first update of "" was sent.
