After brainstorming, the strategy of how to surprise Datong in the end, including the details bit by bit, soon gradually surfaced in the discussion of the cadres, and then was recorded in detail, and after the final discussion, the optimal combat plan was formulated.

Among them, before the official surprise attack on Datong, what preparations should be made.

The cadres enumerated one by one and arranged for the implementation one by one.

Taking into account the evolution of various battle situations that may occur after the start of the battle, cadres at all levels carried out various simulation simulations of the evolution of various battle situations with the help of military simulation sand tables and combat maps.

The division commander even took into account foreign aid.

"Let's not talk about the far away, there is a powerful reinforcement army closer to us, if the old man hears that there is such a big movement, he will definitely come to join in the fun."

Who is the old man?

Fu Yisheng, ~ righteousness.

This is the leader in the Jiang army, to say that Fu Yisheng was originally the general of the Jin Sui army and the general of Lao Yan.

It was only later, with the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, by the end of 38 years, the Nationalist Government appointed Fu as the deputy commander of the Eighth Theater and the commander-in-chief of the Northern Route Army of the Second Theater, and Fu got rid of Yan's control and returned to Suiyuan.

Among the officers of the Jiang Army, compared with those corrupt Jiang Army generals, Fu Yisheng can be regarded as a good man.

To use an image analogy, in the eyes of the division commander, this Fu Yisheng is like a bright soldier and man like Chu Yunfei, the commander of the 358th Regiment of the Jin Sui Army in Li Yunlong's eyes.

This is quite a famous anti-Japanese general, and it is a headache for the little devils in the northwest region.

Later, someone gave Fu a nickname, called Seven and a Half Roads.

Why is it called seven and a half roads?

On the one hand, it is said that Fu's combat effectiveness is strong, and it is close to the level of the main combat force of the Eighth Route Army.

However, in order to distinguish it from the troops of the Eighth Route Army, it was called the Seventh Route and a half.

On the other hand, it was also because Fu Yisheng and the generals of the Eighth Route Army on the division commander's side had a lot of exchanges and joint operations, and Fu Yisheng also specially studied and studied the guerrilla tactics of the Eighth Route Army.

】

Therefore, his tactics of commanding operations are actually quite similar to the guerrilla tactics of the Eighth Route Army, which is also called the Seven and a Half Routes.

Not to mention the distance, let's just say that the 26th Division of the Japanese army stationed in the area of Suinan in northern Shanxi, in the eyes of these little devils, the troops of the Eighth Route Army operating in the area of the Northwest Military Region are hateful.

But in the end, their biggest military opponent, at least so far, is still Fu Yisheng's troops operating in the northern Jin area.

In the entire northern Jin area.

If it weren't for the troops of the Eighth Route Army and the troops led by Fu to keep warm and fight together, I am afraid that the life of the two sides would not be easy.

Station.

After returning from the meeting, Kong Jie, Li Yunlong, and Zhang Dabiao met privately.

This time, without Kong Jie opening his mouth, Li Yunlong took the lead in saying with emotion: "Comrades, this time we came to the Northwest Military Region, and you have also seen the living conditions of the brothers of the 120th Division.

The comrades here have no warm clothing, and the accommodation conditions are very simple, and even the stomachs may not be full.

They are all from the old Red Army troops, and our Lao Li is eyes are sour when I see this situation!

So I thought that since we were here, we couldn't pretend that we couldn't see it, and we had to find a way to help the comrades of the Northwest Military Region solve the difficulties in front of us. ”

Zhang Dabiao then asked: "Commander, how can we help?" ”

Li Yunlong thought about it, seemed to grit his teeth, and then said: "I think so, Da Biao, you go and count how many materials we brought over this time."

Except for the equipment and materials that we have spared for combat this time, all the others are left to the comrades of the 120th Division. ”

As soon as these words came out, Zhang Dabiao was obviously stunned, and he muttered in his heart, could the head of the regiment be serious?

Seeing that Zhang Dabiao was stunned, how could Li Yunlong not know what careful thoughts his old subordinates had been thinking about for many years.

He immediately turned black and scolded: "Damn, why are you kid stunned?" Our dignified seven-foot man, just the materials of these two melons and dates, what's the matter, still reluctant?

What are we here for? Isn't it just Datong who defeated the devils and seized the materials? As long as Datong can be brought down, the little material in front of him is not even a fart.

You kid, this pattern needs to be long-term! ”

"Huh!" Zhang Dabiao seemed to suddenly realize, and after answering, he hurriedly ran to count the specific material situation.

Kong Jie didn't say a word here, and directly gave Li Yunlong a thumbs up.

"I don't have to say, Lao Li, your pattern is getting bigger and bigger!"

Li Yunlong pretended to straighten up, and then said seriously: "That's, isn't it just some supplies?" Besides, nearly seventy or eighty percent of the materials pulled over this time are from your Lao Kong, this is to send them out, and our Lao Li will not suffer a loss! ”

Kong Jie: "......"

"Lao Li, I finally know why that dog can't change his!"

In Kong Jie's scolding, the two old comrades-in-arms laughed together.

Brigade Headquarters of the 358th Brigade.

When Li Yunlong and Kong Jie said that they would send most of the materials brought over by this first batch to the comrades of the 358 Brigade.

Immediately afterwards, Li Yunlong also said that the second batch of materials sent over next, as well as the third batch of materials, should also be used to solve the problems of the comrades of the 358 Brigade in terms of food, accommodation, and cold weather.

"We can't guarantee more, at least let our comrades of the 120th Division have a full stomach, wear warm clothes, and then go to war, right?

Only when clothes and food are in place can we thoroughly improve the winter combat capability of our 120th Division's combat units! ”

What a righteous and awe-inspiring word! Brigade Commander Zhang was grateful and didn't know what to say, and finally couldn't help but sigh in his heart, turned his head and said to the political commissar:

"A large number of the materials sent over this time were sent by Li Yunlong, Li Yunlong, this kid really made a fortune, and he helped the world at the same time, it seems that it is not only Comrade Kong Jie who impresses us, including Li Yunlong, we don't know each other!"

Li Yunlong, who was not far away, heard this, and hurriedly defended himself: "Old brigade commander, you listen to what you say. But isn't this a crooked way to say that our Lao Li was not happy enough before, and he was a little family? ”

"What? Did I still say the wrong thing about you, Li Yunlong? Who doesn't know that you Li Yunlong used to be an iron rooster, unstoppable, and never willing to suffer.

It's similar to the hungry wolf's food, and his own people are estimated to be able to go up and nibble on two bites.

I only heard that you Li Yunlong took advantage of others, but I have never heard that others can take advantage of you Li Yunlong. ”

After Brigade Commander Zhang's words, Li Yunlong was really speechless.

The political commissar smiled: "Li Yunlong, it's not that the brigade commander and I have prejudices against you in the past, it's really in the past, some of your personalities are too prominent."

But this meeting, the changes in you really surprised us.

It seems that the old saying is really good, learning makes people progress.

According to the division commander, in the area of the Taihang base area, the cadres headed by several of your regiment commanders have even carried out tactical innovations, and in addition, they have paid attention to both military construction and economic development in the base areas, and the results have been particularly remarkable.

From this point of view, you comrades who are promising, but go ahead of us! ”

As he spoke, the political commissar turned his head and said to Brigade Commander Zhang: "Brigade Commander, it seems that we also have to study modestly and seize the time to progress, or we are not afraid that we will fall far behind others!" ”

Brigade Commander Zhang nodded thoughtfully, and at this time, all the regiment commanders under the 358 Brigade were crowded in the conference room.

This was a rare opportunity to learn from experience, and Brigade Commander Zhang asked Kong Jie and Li Yunlong to talk about their experiences and experiences in developing troops to command operations.

"It's all brother troops, Li Yunlong, Kong Jie, you two are not allowed to hide your secrets!"

This opportunity to be in the limelight, Kong Jie didn't say a word, and directly gave it to Li Yunlong.

Li Yunlong also took the lead, so he started talking.

Speaking of how they fought together and defended the Iron Triangle in the northwest of Shanxi.

In addition, in the major occupation areas and the nationalized areas, under the cover of business development, intelligence work should be vigorously developed.

He also talked about the three regiments in the Iron Triangle in the northwest of Shanxi.

The literary and artistic department of the unit will turn the combat experience, tactics, and tactics of the unit into a comic book booklet.

Classic victories should be drawn, and the skills and experiences of how to win battles should be learned.

Defeats and defeats are also drawn, and lessons from inadequate command and poor consideration in operations are drawn.

He even held training classes to explain the examples of ancient and modern Chinese and foreign battles in the form of storytelling, so as to teach in an allegorical way, and this form was very popular with the soldiers, and everyone's enthusiasm for learning was particularly high.

Each battle was reviewed in detail and experience was summed up, so the troops became stronger the more they fought.

Speaking of the excitement, Lao Li actually seemed to have drunk wine, his cheeks were a little red, and his voice was raised a little again:

"It's really not me Li Yunlong bragging with you, after constantly exercising the troops through these methods, fighting to the back, every time our troops fight with the little devils, let alone the company commander and platoon commander who leads the team, that is, the squad leader at the bottom, and even some veteran soldiers, can put the combat tactics of the little devil on the opposite side and the offensive mode that may appear after the battle begins.

It's like two eyeballs hanging in mid-air.

How the little devils fight, how to attack, how to retreat, our soldiers have long been familiar with it.

Tell me, is there any reason why you can't win this kind of battle? ”

Li Yunlong loves to brag.

But the key is that people still have the capital to brag.

The political commissar had heard about these deeds of Li Yunlong and Kong Jie, and even looked at the commanders of the 358 Brigade and said:

"Don't believe what Li Yunlong said.

In the area of the Taihang base area, the three comrades Li Yunlong, Kong Jie, and Ding Wei led only regimental-level combat units.

However, the development of these years, whether in terms of army building or economic construction, has even led to the military construction and economic development of the entire 129th Division, as well as various local units and newly formed units.

An unprecedented wave of learning and exchange has been formed.

I heard that each of their units has trained all kinds of military skills, and they have captured the equipment of the devils, not to mention some guns and artillery, even if they are tanks and planes, they still run and fly while they are set.

Listening to Lao Chen, he even got into the car.

The 129th Division also has a heavy artillery regiment, how do I think people have become the Central Army in our Eighth Route Army? ”

As he spoke, the room burst into laughter again.

After the laughter subsided, the commanders of the 358 Brigade at all levels were all burning in their eyes, and they all had small calculations in their hearts, thinking that they would quickly learn from Kong Jie and Li Yunlong, and turn around to develop the troops and develop the economy.

When the brigade commander and political commissar announced, Li Yunlong and Kong Jie had directly sent a large number of supplies to their 358 Brigade this time, including military daily necessities and some military equipment and ammunition.

As the old saying goes, this eater has a short mouth, and he takes someone soft.

The commanders of the 358 Brigade looked at Kong Jie and Li Yunlong again, and they became more and more affectionate.

Li Yunlong took the opportunity to propose friendship.

"Brigade commander, this time we led the mobile unit to come over to fight, and it is definitely indispensable to fight jointly with our brother troops of the 120th Division.

So Lao Kong and I thought about whether we could let our two troops have a fraternity, run in the team well, and go to the battlefield to improve the efficiency and tacit understanding of joint operations. ”

"Yes, that's a great idea!" Brigade Commander Zhang's eyes lit up when he heard this, "It's just how to do it?" ”

Li Yunlong, who had been prepared for a long time, told the interesting story of Kong Jie's competition in the Independent Regiment to let the soldiers compete to eat meat, and finally said:

"Brigade commander, I think our friendship this time can also be done in this way, so that the soldiers can move their bodies well, and it just so happens that it can be warm and warm on this cold day, and then run in and run in our two troops, which can be regarded as making some preparations in advance for the surprise attack on Datong.

It happens to be the Chinese New Year again, so that our soldiers can have a good meal, improve the morale of the troops, and the enthusiasm of the soldiers in combat training, and by the way, promote the feelings of our comrades-in-arms. ”

It is rare for Li Yunlong to have such thoughtful thoughts.

Brigade Commander Zhang said with emotion: "Li Yunlong, you have a heart, okay, then this matter will be settled, and according to the form you and Kong Jie said, our two troops will carry out a friendship activity."

Also, don't worry.

I am here to speak on behalf of all the officers and men of our entire 358 Brigade.

Although we are fraternal troops, we can't take your supplies for nothing, as the old saying goes, this money is to do things for others, this time your 129th Division's mobile unit came to attack Datong in a surprise attack, and our entire Northwest Military Region will definitely give full support to help you achieve the goal of this campaign. ”

"Hahaha, old brigade commander, with your words, Lao Kong and I can rest assured!" Li Yunlong laughed.

After the matter was settled, both sides made preparations, and the 358 Brigade put the news down.

Kong Jie and Li Yunlong contacted the second batch of mobile combat units and continued to transport the corresponding materials to the Northwest Military Region.

The second group was led by Xing Zhiguo, Li Yunlong's deputy head of the regiment.

Lao Li was indeed willing this time, and ordered to convey orders to the communications department of the New Second Regiment, and even directly sent a considerable part of the family funds accumulated by his New Second Regiment over the years to the brother troops of the 120th Division......
