"Okay, it's an old comrade-in-arms in the end, it's interesting enough." Li Yunlong laughed and said, "How many troops can you two send?" ”

Kong Jie stretched out eight fingers and said with a smug face: "Lao Tzu now has eight main battalions, plus the team directly under the regiment, there are more than 9,000 people, leaving the regiment directly under the team and three main battalions is enough to hold the base of Wohu Mountain, so Lao Tzu can at least transfer five battalions and 6,000 men and horses to you!" ”

Li Yunlong said: "Lao Kong, didn't you originally only have seven battalions? How did it become eight? ”

"Hehe, Lao Li, you don't want to think about it, we are all brothers in the same class, you and Lao Ding both have eight main battalions, can I be worse than the two of you?" Kong Jie smiled proudly and said, "Lao Tzu has incorporated a group of bandits and formed the New Second Regiment Independent Brigade, which is the Eighth Battalion. ”

"I see." Kong Jie asked Ding Wei again, "What about you, Lao Ding?" ”

"Me too." Ding Wei said, "I will lend you five battalions and 6,000 people, and you don't need to be responsible for military rations." ”

Speaking of this, Ding Wei said again: "But there is one thing that must be explained in advance, the benefits of Heyuan County and Fu'an County are equally divided between the three families, Lao Li, you can't eat alone." ”

"Yes, yes." Kong Jie also said, "You can't eat alone." ”

"Okay, okay, don't eat alone." Li Yunlong agreed.

To tell the truth, Li Yunlong's mentality has really begun to change now.

It is said that the country is easy to change, and the temperament is difficult to change, but it depends on how strong the power of change is.

As long as the power of change is strong enough, then even the stubborn and stubborn character can be reversed.

Li Yunlong's self-centered thinking can be said to be integrated into the bone marrow, but when one day Li Yunlong suddenly discovered that sharing the benefits with his comrades-in-arms could obtain greater benefits, he immediately became generous, at least to his old comrades-in-arms or brother troops are no longer as strict as before.

After a pause, Li Yunlong said again: "After talking about Chu Yunfei and Liang Gang, let's talk about the devil, as Lao Ding and Xiao Wang expected, the devil really chose to shrink his forces, and even the strength of the contraction was greater than we expected, and directly gave up Heyuan County and Fu'an County." ”

Ding Wei said: "This is indeed a bit unexpected. ”

After a pause, Ding Wei said again: "Because after giving up Heyuan County and Fu'an County, the actual control area of the devil in the northwest of Shanxi Province is only a small triangle area between Anhua City, Laoxian County and Ping'an County, which will greatly reduce the financial tax revenue of the Japanese puppet army." ”

Wang Ye said: "But the fixed expenditure of the Japanese puppet army will also be greatly reduced, so in general, the burden of the Japanese puppet army is actually lighter, and more importantly, in this way, the Japanese puppet army can concentrate its forces, and still have the ability to take the initiative to attack in any direction under the premise that the overall strength is not dominant." ”

Ding Wei nodded and said: "That's true, the 69th Division of the Japanese Army is a standard three-unit field division, with three infantry wings, a mountain artillery wing, a baggage wing and each directly subordinate team of the division and regiment, with a total strength of more than 15,000 people, although it is far inferior to the Second Guards Division in terms of the number of troops and technical equipment, but in terms of combat effectiveness, the 69th Division is not necessarily much worse than the Second Guards Division. ”

"There are also changes in the pseudo-seventh division." Wang Ye said, "We must pay attention. ”

"Puppet army?" Kong Jie said disapprerovingly, "The puppet army can barely make up a number in addition to defending the city, just forget about the attack, just fucking only give our Eighth Route Army supplies." ”

Wang Ye said: "But the newly appointed pseudo-Seventh Division commander Pan Ren looks like a ruthless character. ”

"Really?" At this time, Li Yunlong felt a little curious, and asked with a smile, "Xiao Wang, why didn't you mention such a big matter to me in advance?" ”

Wang Ye said: "I also just received the news from the inside line today. ”

Ding Wei said: "Xiao Wang, tell me how this Pan Ren is different from the previous Zhong Yunhe. ”

Wang Ye said: "Zhong Yunhe is a typical high-ranking general of the puppet army, he has no political pursuits, and he has no position, and the reason why he became a traitor is simply because he is afraid of death, but his heart still identifies with the identity of Chinese, and the officers and men of the puppet Seventh Division are probably also this kind of psychology because of the influence of Zhong Yunhe." ”

"Therefore, when encountering our Eighth Route Army, Jin Sui Army and Central Army on the battlefield, most of the officers and soldiers of the Pseudo Seventh Division will choose a passive confrontation method, generally just firing their guns into the sky, and when the battle situation is unfavorable, they will also take the initiative to disarm and surrender, and it is rare to fight to the death with us, at least so far this situation has rarely occurred."

"But this Pan Ren's path is completely different from Zhong Yunhe's."

"This guy is nepotistic, relying on the Japanese to support him, as soon as he took office, he decisively killed four of the six regiment commanders, and also appointed three puppet army prisoners who escaped from us to be the regiment commander and chief of staff, and there is also a bandit minion from Heiyun Village who was also appointed as the regiment commander."

"That's good." Li Yunlong said.

"This kind of cronyism has nothing to worry about."

Wang Ye shook his head and said: "Regiment leader, the truth is probably the opposite of what you said, the senior generals of the puppet army, professional soldiers like Zhong Yunhe, have nothing to worry about, and second-class people like Pan Ren are more troublesome, because such a person has greater military ambitions, and this person also has a political position." ”

Li Yunlong said: "What political position? Why can't I see it? ”

Ding Wei said: "What Xiao Wang means is that Zhong Yunhe's political position is that he has no position, he is perfunctory to the Japanese, and he fights tacit understanding with our Eighth Route Army and the Jin Sui Army, and he can also do as little harm as possible to the common people, but like Pan Ren, he is a loyal lackey of the Japanese, in order to meet the requirements of the Japanese master, he can do anything!" ”

"yes, that's what it means." Wang Ye said, "In a word, this is a bastard with no bottom line, and next, he will definitely do something that is angry with people and gods, and we must be mentally prepared." ”

Li Yunlong said: "If this is the case, then the puppet Seventh Division can no longer be ignored as before, and when there are combat operations, this armed force must be taken into account." ”

"Yes." Wang Ye nodded heavily, "It must be taken into account in the future." ”

Ding Wei said: "If this is the case, the devil can completely hand over the task of defending the city to the puppet army, and then concentrate all the main forces for offensive operations, then our pressure will be great, we must not have a good relationship with the Jin Sui Army and the Central Army now, not only can we not count on Chu Yunfei and Liang Gang to help, but we will divide our troops to guard against the two of them." ”

"Damn, that's what you said." Kong Jie said, "I thought that after this army expansion, the devil's strength was reduced again, and we would be able to usher in a counterattack in the northwest of Jin, but after Xiao Wang's analysis, didn't the result change at all, isn't it still the little devil pressing our Eighth Route Army to fight?" ”

Ding Wei said: "Lao Kong, don't be discouraged, the transformation of the offensive and defensive momentum is not so easy, besides, the situation in our northwest Jin is much better than other base areas, you should be content." ”

Wang Ye said: "And the devil's attack is not necessarily a bad thing for us. ”

Kong Jie said: "How do you say this, it can still be a good thing for devils to attack?" ”

"At least it's better than letting us attack the devils." Wang Ye said, "Because we are used to fighting defensive wars, but we rarely fight tough battles, and defensive wars are fought on our base areas, we are familiar with the terrain, and we also have the masses to help in the war, we can fully mobilize the people to fight devils, and our advantages can be fully utilized." ”

"Conversely, if you fight a tough battle,"

"It's going to be fought in places we don't know."

"And they don't have the support of the local people."

"What's more, we lack the experience to fight tough battles and are prone to make mistakes."

"So compared to the two, it's obvious that the defensive war is more beneficial to me, at least at this stage."

"I agree with Xiao Wang." Ding Wei said, "At this stage, our Eighth Route Army should indeed fight more defensive battles, and try to avoid attacking fortified positions, the reason is also very simple, because on the whole, our Eighth Route Army is still not strong enough, and does not have an overwhelming strength advantage over the devils. ”

"!" Hearing this, Li Yunlong was a little unhappy, because he was still thinking about Ping'an County, and after recapturing Heyuan County and Fu'an County, he was ready to take Ping'an County, so that the Fuliangshan Base Area could develop into a large-scale base area with a population of more than one million in three counties.

At that time, it will be impossible to say that the head of the headquarters will not give a brigade establishment.

Well, speaking of which, Li Yunlong actually still wants to be a brigade commander in his heart.

But now Wang Ye's analysis directly shattered his dream.

……

In the blink of an eye, the time has come to early November.

Order in Heyuan County has been completely restored, and Chu Yunfei also returned to Yunqi Town with the main force of the only brigade of the Jin Sui Army, leaving only the third regiment and the second battalion of mountain artillery to defend the city.

The news soon spread to Dagu Town.

This will not only be Li Yunlong in Dagu Town, but also Ding Wei and Kong Jie.

Anyway, there is nothing big at home, it is better to stay in Dagu Town to help Li Yunlong deal with Chu Yunfei, especially Ding Wei is the master who does not think it is a big deal to watch the excitement.

In addition, 10 battalions of the 1st and 2nd Regiments have been redeployed.

They were all quietly transferred at night, and they didn't alarm the devil puppet army along the way.

By the way, after shrinking, the devils also gave up the blockade along the railway, and no longer emphasized the large-scale physical blockade of the blockade ditch and pillbox as before, but only held a few large strongholds, and dispatched patrol cars to patrol the tracks to ensure the safety of the railway.

With regard to the Eighth Route Army's behavior of crossing the railway, it adopted a countermeasure of turning a blind eye.

This is actually a wise choice, because continuing to adopt a high-density and high-intensity physical blockade like the previous one would require a lot of valuable manpower and material resources, which could directly drag down the Japanese army in the northwest of Shanxi.

Therefore, the ten battalions of the new 1st Regiment and the 2nd Regiment unknowingly crossed Tongpu Road, entered the Fuliang Mountain base area, and came to the vicinity of Dagu Town.

By this time, it was already early November, and the snow had fallen several times, and the weather was already very cold.

The living conditions of the Eighth Route Army in the northwest of Shanxi Province have generally improved a lot, but due to the recent large-scale expansion, some materials have been unable to be supplied, such as winter quilts.

At this time, Li Yunlong, Ding Wei, and Kong Jie complained to each other while hiding in the tunnel to roast the fire.

"Lao Li, it's all your fault." Kong Jie scolded and said, "Didn't you say that the division of labor between our three base areas is good, Lao Ding and I are responsible for growing food, and you Fuliangshan are responsible for planting cash crops, producing tobacco, oil and cloth?" As a result, Lao Ding and I did a good job, and the food supply for 30,000 horses was more than enough, but the cloth was not available, and most of the recruits of Lao Tzu's New Second Regiment could not wear military uniforms or cover quilts. ”

"Damn, can he blame me for this?" Li Yunlong didn't have a good airway.

"Lao Tzu also wants to grow cotton well, and Lao Tzu also wants to open a textile factory."

"But the problem is that the little devil won't let you, so what can you do? The months when the Second Devil Guards Division swept up were the season for picking cotton, and if I missed the season, I could still fucking make cotton? ”

"Besides, although the cloth is not in supply, there is always a shortage of weapons and ammunition, right?"

"Lao Kong, you have to have a conscience when you talk on dog days, it's better to let the soldiers bare than to fight with devils empty-handed, right?"

Kong Jie was amused at once, and scolded with a smile: "Go and go, you kid only let the soldiers bare-chested, and I, Kong Jie, will not let my soldiers be bare-chested even if I am bare-chested." ”

"Okay, okay, you Kong Jie is bare-footed."

Li Yunlong smiled and said to Ding Wei: "Old Ding, this is what he said. ”

Kong Jie was shocked to see Li Yunlong, and immediately said angrily: "Li Yunlong, you are bare-chested, your whole family is bare-bottomed." ”

While he was talking, Wang Yexing rushed in.

Seeing Wang Ye, Li Yunlong became excited and said with a smile: "It's here!" ”

Sure enough, Wang Ye Tuan saluted and said in a deep voice: "Three chiefs, Chu Yunfei has already left Heyuan County with the main force of the only brigade of the Jin Sui Army and returned to Yunqi Town. ”

Li Yunlong said: "How many defenders are there in Heyuan County now?" ”

Wang Ye said without thinking: "A regiment plus a mountain artillery battalion." ”

After a pause, Wang Ye said again: "The specific information has also been heard, the one left in Heyuan County is a regiment of the only brigade of the Jin Sui Army, the regiment commander Wu Ziqiang, with a total strength of about two thousand five hundred people, and the mountain artillery battalion is the second battalion of the mountain artillery of the only brigade of the Jin Sui Army, the battalion commander Xie Guoping, equipped with twelve M1A1 75mm caliber mountain guns!" ”

Kong Jie said angrily: "It's really angry to say, let's get tired and tired and make trouble with four mountain guns, just these four mountain guns are just Meiji 38-year-old 75 mountain guns of the little devil, both the range and lethality are far from enough to compare with the M1A1 75mm caliber mountain guns of the only brigade of the Jin Sui Army, you say, why is he Chu Yunfei?" ”

"Why?" Ding Wei said, "What's not to understand about this, just because he Chu Yunfei is Chief Yan's favorite general, and Chang Kaishen's proud protégé, if these good equipment don't stick to him first, will they still be close to us wild children?" ”

"Yes." Li Yunlong also said, "Lao Kong, you can be content, and you will also be equipped with a Type 38 field artillery." ”

"Gotcha, I'm not going to talk nonsense with you." Kong Jie waved his hand and said, "Chu Yun flew away, it's time for the show to start, right?" ”

"Hehe, of course." Li Yunlong smiled and said, "Pass my order, and all battalions will immediately act according to the original plan, and block the four gates of Heyuan County and all the crossings in the far and near ten miles for me." ”

After a pause, he said to Wang Ye again: "Xiao Wang, I'll leave the whistle to you." ”

"Yes!" Wang Ye stood upright and said proudly, "I promise to complete the task." ”

Seeing Wang Ye walk away, Kong Jie touched his pocket, and suddenly shouted again: "Lao Li, there is no smoke." ”

"Damn, haven't you been smoking old cigarettes all the time?" Li Yunlong scolded, "When did you switch to cigarettes?" ”

"You have to take care of it." Kong Jie said angrily, "Lao Tzu is in a bad mood during this time, I don't want to smoke old cigarettes, I just want to smoke cigarettes, can't you?" Don't forget, Fuliangshan Cigarette Factory also has a stake in our new second regiment. ”

", they all say that I, Li Yunlong, am now the landlord, but why do I feel more and more that you two are the landlords? Our Lao Li is the tenant farmer who works long hours for you? Li Yunlong scolded and got up to get a cigarette, and by the way, he also bought a package of spiced peanuts and two bottles of sweet potato roast from the grocery store in the town.

……

At six o'clock the next morning, Wu Ziqiang, commander of the first regiment of the only brigade of the Jin Sui Army, was sleeping soundly at the regiment headquarters.

Wu Ziqiang was still very cautious, and did not set up the regiment headquarters in the former Japanese military police, but set the regiment headquarters in the barracks of the former Fifth Guards Infantry Wing near the east gate.

When he was about to wake up, a faint sound of military horns suddenly sounded in his ears, get up!

Although the horn was very soft, Wu Ziqiang still relied on the instinct of a soldier, and generally jumped up from the bed with a conditioned reflex, put on the military uniform as quickly as possible, and rushed out of the room.

As a result, as soon as I went out, I happened to meet Liang Guoping, the battalion commander of the second battalion of mountain artillery.

Wu Ziqiang was immediately a little unhappy, blaming Xie Guoping for changing the time of getting up without permission.

"Battalion Commander Liang, what's the matter with you?" Wu Ziqiang reprimanded, "Change the wake-up time and don't discuss it with me?" Do you still have me as the head of the regiment in your eyes? ”

"Head Wu, what are you talking about?"

Liang Guoping really doesn't have Wu Ziqiang as the regiment commander in his eyes, he only has the brigade commander Chu Yunfei in his eyes, after all, although his position is only a battalion commander, his military rank is colonel, which is the same level as Wu Ziqiang.

Snorting lightly, Liang Guoping said again: "I'm still wondering, I think your brother has some urgent task." ”

Hearing this, Wu Ziqiang's whole person was not good, and after a few seconds, he suddenly shouted: "It's bad, go up to the city tower!" ”

At that moment, Wu Ziqiang and Liang Guoping hurriedly went up to the East Gate Tower with a few officers, and then lay on the battlements to look out, and several people were stupid there on the spot.

I saw that outside the city gate, rows and columns were all lined with the Eighth Route Army.

At least 1,000 members of the Eighth Route Army are training in the queue.

Not only the personnel, but also a large number of field tents suddenly appeared outside the city gates.

Wu Ziqiang said with a dark face: "Look at this posture, is the Eighth Route Army going to camp outside the East Gate?" ”
