Kong Jie often said that Li Yunlong was used to being the brigade commander's baby.

Because of the brigade commander's habit, Li Yunlong has always dared to act recklessly, in the world line of the original play, Li Yunlong even dared to detain Kong Jie, and annihilated the bandits of Heiyunzhai who had been co-opted.

But to say that the brigade commander spoiled Li Yunlong, this is certainly not true.

The brigade commander does have a preference for Li Yunlong, this is true.

Just as the five fingers are not the same length, there are also relatives and distances between people.

Compared with Ding Wei and Kong Jie, the brigade commander obviously likes and appreciates Li Yunlong more.

When the brigade commander came to the northwest of Shanxi to take up his post this time, he only brought one Cao San Company with him, and did not bring a cadre of the Taiyue Column and the Taiyue Military Region Headquarters.

Even the chief of staff didn't bring it.

The brigade commander also did not intend to reorganize a column headquarters in the northwest of Jin.

Because the formation of a column headquarters requires a large number of personnel and resources, the brigade commander feels that it is not necessary.

The brigade commander directly merged the column headquarters with Li Yunlong's detachment headquarters, and the cadres of the former independent regiment headquarters became subordinate members of the headquarters of the Northwest Column in Shanxi.

This is actually the two sets of teams and one set of people that are often found in officialdom.

Li Yunlong is naturally reluctant to do this, because Ding Wei and Kong Jie can be in charge alone, but he has to stay with the brigade commander, so he has to be under the control of the brigade commander everywhere, and he will become a little daughter-in-law.

But no matter how unhappy you are, it's useless, in Li Yunlong's words, the official level crushes people to death.

The brigade commander not only merged the column headquarters with Li Yunlong's detachment headquarters organs, but also made Xing Zhiguo concurrently the logistics director of the column headquarters, responsible for managing the logistics of the entire column.

At this time, Xing Zhiguo was reporting to the brigade commander on the progress of his work.

"Up to now, 300,000 catties of pancakes have been prepared, and 300,000 catties of pancakes will be received in the future, so that on average, each soldier can get 20 catties of pancakes, which should be enough to eat for three days.

"Three days?" The brigade commander frowned and asked, "Can't you prepare for a few more days?" ”

Xing Zhiguo explained: "It's already mid-May, it's hot, and the pancakes will be bad if they are made for more than three days. “

"Oh yes, I forgot about that." The brigade commander patted his forehead and admonished, "Then the follow-up food guarantee must keep up, the food problem is the top priority, and the food guarantee on the battlefield is even more important, no matter what, we can't let our soldiers go hungry and fight with the little devils." “

"Don't worry, brigade commander, it's all right." "After all, the battlefield is in the northwest of our Shanxi Province, we can mobilize the fathers and villagers in the base area to make dry food at any time, no matter what type of dry food such as pancakes, buns and other types, we can prepare them in a short time, our logistics department should not only let the soldiers eat enough, but also let the soldiers eat as well as possible!" “

"Okay, as long as the problem of eating is solved, we have already won half of this battle." The brigade commander nodded, and said, "Is there still ammunition to be distributed?" ”

"It's all been distributed." Xing Zhiguo nodded.

"Thirty rounds of ammunition for individual soldiers, 600 rounds for light machine guns, four dry rounds for heavy machine guns, 30 rounds for grenadiers and mortars, and two base numbers for artillery ammunition."

"Okay, there's nothing to do, let's get busy."

After sending away Xingzhiguo, the brigade commander returned to the sand table.

I saw Wang Ye and Zhao Gang working on the sand table, and Li Yunlong and Zhang Dabiao stood next to them.

It can be said that the regimental headquarters organs of the original independent regiment have been streamlined to the extreme, and Wang Ye, the chief of staff, and Zhang Dabiao, the deputy chief of staff, are all part-time, and apart from these two chief and deputy chiefs of staff, there is not even a full-time staff officer.

In other words, in normal times, there was no such thing as a staff unit in the independent regiment.

Only when it is necessary to formulate a battle plan, Wang Ye, the chief of staff, and Zhang Dabiao, the deputy chief of staff, will arrive at their posts, and when there is a shortage of manpower, they will temporarily arrest Li Yunlong, Zhao Gang, or Xing Zhiguo to help.

For example, now, due to lack of manpower, Zhao Gang and Li Yunlong's strong men have been arrested.

Under the red and blue pencils of Wang Ye and Zhao Gang, the battlefield situation in the northwest of Jin has been presented.

From the map, it can be intuitively seen that the four regiments of the second detachment have surrounded the county seat of Ping'an, and the two regiments of the third detachment are deployed near Xiaocaozhuang.

The four regiments of the first detachment, plus the other two regiments of the third detachment, as well as the artillery regiment, were ambushed in the Zhangzhuang area between Anhua and Ping'an County, waiting for the Japanese army in Anhua to enter the preset ambush circle.

The Guards Regiment and the Cavalry Regiment, as a reserve for the column, did not move for the time being.

Since the Japanese army has not taken any action for the time being, there are only six blue circles, representing Lao County,

Anhua, Ping'an County and three large strongholds along Tongpu Road.

The brigade commander glanced at the map and asked, "Have the four regiments of the second detachment arrived at the designated position?" ”

"Yes." Wang Ye got up and replied, "I just contacted the second detachment in five minutes, and the four regiments of the second detachment have all arrived outside Ping'an County and are ready to attack. “

The brigade commander snorted and asked again: "What about the artillery regiment?" ”

Wang Ye said: "The artillery regiment has also entered the bud valley near Zhanggezhuang to hide. “

"Xiao Wang, the artillery position won't be discovered by the devil plane, right?" The brigade commander was a little worried.

Although the Northwest Column of Shanxi Province had a regiment of artillery, it was still very vulnerable in the face of the devil aviation due to the lack of anti-aircraft firepower.

Once the artillery positions were not well camouflaged and exposed to the noses of the devil's aviation, then it only took a few rounds of bombardment for the artillery regiment of the northwest column of Shanxi to be wiped out.

Wang Ye said with great certainty: "Our wolf brigade has assisted the artillery regiment in carefully camouflaging the artillery position, and it is difficult for the devil plane to discover our artillery position from the sky." “

"But the devil and the ground scout, that's what kind of advance team." The brigade commander said, "Although the devil's sweep of the Taihang Military Region failed before, the dozen or so advance teams of the devils posed a great threat to our army.

Wang Ye said with a smile: "Don't worry, brigade commander, we have been prepared for this for a long time. “

"Oh?" The brigade commander asked happily, "What have you prepared for the devils?" “

Wang Ye said with a smile: "Our wolf warrior brigade will implement battlefield blocking in the area near the artillery position, in short, we will never let the devil's advance team infiltrate within five kilometers of the artillery position." “

"Battlefield Block?" The brigade commander said, "Doesn't that expose our combat intentions?" “

"yes." Zhang Dabiao also said, "The Wolf Warrior Brigade has implemented a battlefield blockade in the five-kilometer area near Zhanggezhuang, and the devil will definitely know that there is a problem in Zhanggezhuang." “

"There's no way around it." Wang Ye shook his head and said.

"Because both sides of the highway are rare plain terrain in the northwest of Shanxi."

"If it weren't for the fact that there is a large area of farmland on the side of the highway, and a lot of farmland is planted with bud valleys, we wouldn't even be able to find the terrain where the soldiers are hidden.

After a pause, Wang Ye said again: "However, the devil will only know that we have hidden the ambush in Zhanggezhuang, but he doesn't know how many regiments we have deployed in Zhanggezhuang, and the devil should come and come, and he has to pass through Zhanggezhuang, because only Zhanggezhuang can pass through heavy equipment, and it is also the closest to Ping'an County." “

The brigade commander said: "But what if the devil abandons heavy equipment and goes around?" “

"It's a possibility." Wang Ye said, "But it doesn't matter, because we have an absolute advantage in troops, and we occupy the initiative on the battlefield, and there is no problem with communication, so we can respond faster than the devils, even if the devils detour, we can also send troops to intercept them in advance, and then mobilize troops to attack in a roundabout, and the result is the same." “

An ambush battle of tens of thousands of people is fundamentally different from a small-scale ambush war of several hundred people.

A small-scale ambush with a few hundred people, which can be well hidden on the side of the road, can engage the enemy and engage the enemy in a white-knuckle battle within half a minute after the battle starts.

But with an ambush of tens of thousands of people, it is obviously impossible to achieve this level.

In an ambush battle of tens of thousands of people, you can only draw a general ambush circle.

When the enemy enters the area, the troops involved in the ambush launch a centripetal attack on the enemy in the area from various positions until they form a circle on all sides.

After a pause, Wang Ye said again: "Maybe the battle will be easier." “

"Yes." The brigade commander smiled and said, "If the devils really give up heavy equipment, maybe the battle will really be easier."

As he was talking, hurried footsteps suddenly sounded outside the door, and then Wei Dayong walked in quickly, and the expression on his face looked a little solemn.

"Commander, regimental commander, commissar."

Wei Dayong saluted the brigade commander, Li Yunlong, and Zhao Gang, and finally said to Wang Ye: "Captain, the enemy situation has changed, and the devils in the three strongholds along Tongpu Road have suddenly withdrawn to Anhua County. “

"What?" The brigade commander, Li Yunlong, and Zhao Gang changed their faces at the same time.

"Damn." Li Yunlong scolded, "The devil actually gave up Tongpu Road? I really didn't expect this. “

Zhang Dabiao said in a deep voice: "In this way, the devils in Anhua County will have one more infantry wing, counting engineers, baggage soldiers and artillery, the total strength has exceeded 8,000 people. ”

Zhao Gang said: "This also means that when the time comes, the devil may send an infantry wing, a mountain artillery brigade and a search team to reinforce Ping'an County!" “

The atmosphere in the war room instantly became solemn.

Because this is seriously inconsistent with Wang Ye's preset parameters.

In Wang Ye's preset plan, the devils who reinforced Ping'an County from Anhua were only 3,000 at most, and the strength was less than one-fifth of the troops they participated in the ambush.

But now, the devil's reinforcements are likely to exceed 5,000 people.

That is, the strength of the devil's reinforcements will be more than a third of them.

Although they still had an absolute advantage in the battle of the Northwest Column, the difficulty of this ambush battle was completely different. At this time, it is obviously too late to adjust the plan on an ad hoc basis.

Because the various participating units have already entered the designated positions.

Li Yunlong, Zhao Gang, Zhang Dabiao and Wang Ye's eyes focused on the brigade commander at the same time.

Beat? Or not to fight? At this time, it must be and can only be the brigade commander to make the decision.

The brigade commander's eyes froze, and he slammed his fist on the edge of the sand table, and said in a deep voice: "The plan remains the same, fight!" ”

Anhua County, the war room of the 69th Division of the Japanese Army.

Ryuichi Sakamoto glanced up at the wall clock on the wall and saw that the hour hand was already pointing to ten o'clock in the evening.

"Jingle bell!" The phone on the table next to him suddenly rang without warning, and Sakamoto Takaichi immediately stepped forward to pick up the phone, "Moses Moses, I'm the division headquarters." “

After a few moments, Ryuichi Sakamoto gently hung up.

"Sakamoto-kun, whose phone is it?" Inoue asked, "What's the matter?" “

"A call from the Sato advance team." Ryuichi Sakamoto replied, "They were attacked by the special forces of the Eighth Route Army near Zhanggezhuang and suffered heavy losses. “

"Zhang Gezhuang?"

Inoue Zhenwei Huo Ran stood up and walked quickly to the sand table.

The eyes of the intelligence section chief Kato Sadao, the communications section chief Mei Igarashi and several combat staff members also fell on the sand table Kato Sadao quickly found Zhang Gezhuang from the sand table, and pointed to Inoue Sadawei with a long wooden pole: "Division commander, Zhang Gezhuang is in this position." ”

"It seems that it is really as Sakamoto-kun said, the Eighth Route Army really wants to encircle and send reinforcements."

Speaking of this, Inoue Sadawei couldn't help but glance back at Ryuichi Sakamoto, and said: "If nothing else, Zhanggezhuang should be the battlefield pre-selected by the Eighth Route Army, right?" That's why they didn't hesitate to send that special force to block the battlefield in the area near Zhanggezhuang. ”

"Expected." Sakamoto Ryuichi said abruptly, "Division commander, the battle has begun. ”

Speaking of this, Ryuichi Sakamoto said confidently: "For more than five years before, it was always the imperial army that took the initiative to attack, and the Eighth Route Army passively defended, but this time it was finally the other way around. ”

"However, it is not so easy to take the initiative to attack."

"The Eighth Route Army will soon know that if it does not have a strong battlefield organization ability and a strong logistics support ability, a rash attack can only be sent to death!"

At this time, he went out of the city in peace.

Kong Jie said: "Second Regiment Commander, where is your Italian cannon?" ”

After driving Chu Yunfei away not long ago, the 14 M1A1 75mm mountain guns of another artillery battalion of the only brigade of the Jinsui Army were also returned to the Eighth Route Army, and then because Li Yunlong divided 12 mountain guns, Ding Wei and Kong Jie were only assigned 10

door, the two of them were angry, and they had to ask Li Yunlong to compensate with other cannons.

Li Yunlong was so entangled that he had no choice but to give up the Italian cannon to Kong Jie.

After the formation of the Northwest Column of Shanxi, the brigade commander did not allocate this antique Italian gun to the artillery regiment for the sake of logistical support factors, but still left it to Kong Jie's second detachment.

In this way, this Italian cannon became the façade of the second detachment.

Considering that this time it was their Eighth Route Army that took the initiative to launch a large-scale battle, and their second detachment was tasked with the glorious task of firing the first shot, Kong Jie felt that this was a memorable moment and should have a sense of ceremony, so he thought of asking the second regiment commander to push this Italian cannon up and fire the first shot of the Northwest Shanxi Campaign.

The commander of the second regiment hurriedly said: "Commander, the Italian artillery is hidden behind." “

"Don't hide, hurry up and push forward." Kong Jieba took a puff of old cigarette and said domineeringly, "The first shot of the Northwest Jin Campaign was fired with this Italian cannon!" “

"Yes." The second regiment commander agreed.

And he said: "Hurry up, push the Italian cannon up." ”

Soon, the Italian cannon, already "seventy years old", was pushed up.

Kong Jie finished smoking a bag of cigarettes, then took out his pocket watch and looked at the time, it was already 0:00 the next day.

At that moment, Kong Jie put away his pocket watch, waved his hand very domineeringly, and said: "The target is Dongguan, Ping'an County, open fire!"

The commander of the second regiment pulled the tow rope violently, and then there was a tom, and the body of the Italian gun shook violently.

Immediately, a red light roared towards the east gate tower of Ping'an County.

A few seconds later, the East Gate Tower burst into a dazzling red light.

It took a few seconds before the red light exploded before a rumbling explosion came back.

In the next moment, the gunfire was loud, and the four regiments of the second detachment of the northwest column of Jin launched a fierce attack on the outlying positions of Ping'an County almost simultaneously.

Ping'an County, the headquarters of the 291st Infantry Wing.

The sudden huge explosion startled the wing captain Yoshiro Utada.

Yoshiro Utada walked to the telephone, picked up the phone and said, "Give me the Dongguan position." “

Before dark, the telephone lines between Ping'an County and Anhua and the county were cut off, and the telephone soldiers sent by the Lianzheng team headquarters to repair the lines also did not return.

However, the telephone between the wing headquarters and the outlying positions was still possible.

"Moses Moses, I'm the wing headquarters." Utada Yoshiro said loudly, "Okakku-kun, how's the situation?" ”

A slightly flustered voice immediately came from the other end of the phone: "Captain, the firepower of the Eighth Route Army is extremely fierce,

Our fire was completely suppressed, call for artillery support! “

"Eight Grids!" Yoshiro Utada scolded angrily.

"It's only been a few minutes since the Eighth Route Army launched its attack, and you can't hold it so quickly?"

The voice on the other side said in a panic: Wing Commander, the firepower of the Eighth Route Army is really too ferocious, and there is artillery support,

And the accuracy of the fire of their infantry support artillery is very high! Our machine-gun fire is almost."

Before the voice fell, there was a sudden boom on the other side of the phone, and then there was a silence.

"Moses Moses?" Yoshiro Utada said hurriedly, "Okakku-kun? Moses Moses? Did you hear that?

When the Great Horn heard it, please answer, Moses Moses? ”

It took a dozen calls before the other side finally responded.

"Captain, I'm Nakamura." A weak voice replied.

"Nakamura-kun?" Utada Yoshiro's heart tightened, and he asked urgently, "What about your captain?" ”

"Our captain, he's already," the weak voice across from him gasped, "he's just been,

I have already donated to His Majesty the Emperor. “

"Yaga, what's going on?" Utada Yoshiro said angrily.

The weak voice on the other side said, "A shell just landed on our brigade headquarters. ”
