Chapter 22: Zhao Jiayu
Li Yunlong opened the map and pointed to the direction of Zhaojiayu in Dagu Town and said: "The little devil has forced us too hard during this time, although our regiment can still hold on, but other troops are not happy, the above means let us temporarily avoid the edge and transfer the garrison defense area to another place." ”
Hearing Li Yunlong's words, several people looked at the location on the map that Li Yunlong was pointing at. I saw that there was a place called Dagu Town on the map that was circled.
Li Yunlong looked at a few people and continued: "The place where we moved this time is Dagu Town, but this place is now occupied by devils, we first have to go to a village ten miles outside Dagu Town-Zhaojiayu, where to repair it first and then find a way to take down Dagu Town." In addition, our new defense area and the independent regiment and the new second regiment are next to each other, and they are arranged in a zigzag shape, which has the advantage of reducing the defensive pressure in the other two directions. ”
Hearing Li Yunlong's words, Zhang Dabiao looked at the map, thought for a while, and said: "Commander, we really have to take down the place of Dagu Town, otherwise this place will be occupied by little devils, and our base will be divided into two by little devils." ”
"That's right, wait until you go back and gather the troops immediately, let's set off tonight, while the little devil hasn't come back to his senses and quickly withdraw, we will arrive at Zhaojiayu in three days, and then repair for two days, I have sent an elite team to reconnoiter the enemy situation in the vicinity, and when the troops go over, we may contact him, Lao Zhao, you are responsible for this matter." After contacting, immediately launch operational deployment, and strive to take down Dagu Town in a war, and you will be responsible for Da Biao's matter. Li Yunlong took a sip of water and said to Zhao Gang and Zhang Dabiao on the side.
Zhao Gang has always been in charge of the intelligence work of the new regiment, and Zhang Dabiao is the operational staff officer of the new regiment and the commander of the first battalion, so Li Yunlong entrusted such an important task to the two of them.
And Li Yunlong himself wants to stay behind the palace, after all, the entire regiment is transferred, and it is impossible for the little devils not to hear any movement, and the little devils will definitely pursue them at that time.
"The second battalion, the third battalion, your two battalions are responsible for the logistics and transportation of our new regiment, and assist the logistics troops to transport all the materials to Zhaojiayu safely." Li Yunlong continued.
"Commander, where are our four battalions?" Wang Huaibao, the commander of the fourth battalion, saw that the other three battalions had tasks, so he said anxiously.
"The fourth battalion stayed behind and was responsible for blocking the pursuit of the little devils."
"Yes." The commander of the fourth battalion saw that the regiment commander had left such an important task to himself, so he quickly replied happily.
"Alright, let's go down and prepare." Li Yunlong waved his hand and said to a few people.
After Li Yunlong's order was issued, the whole regiment of the new regiment began to operate. By the end of the evening, they had all assembled, and everything they had moved to take with them had been packed.
"Let's go." Li Yunlong looked at the team like a long dragon and waved his hand.
When everyone heard Li Yunlong's voice, they began to march in the direction of Zhao Jiayu.
Zhao Gang called the guards around him, on the one hand, he asked him to send people to start contacting Wei Dayong, and on the other hand, he started to investigate on the way forward of the troops to prevent accidents.
The transfer of the new regiment naturally attracted the attention of the devils, and the little devils immediately sent people to pursue after getting the information that the new regiment was going to be transferred, but Li Yunlong led the soldiers of the fourth battalion to block the attack, and the little devils couldn't do anything about them for a while.
Seeing that he couldn't stop the retreat of the new regiment, it would have no effect if he continued to pursue, so the little devil gave up the new regiment and retreated.
After three days of marching, the new regiment finally arrived at Zhaojiayu, and Li Yunlong led the soldiers of the fourth battalion to block the devils, and arrived at Zhaojiayu two days later than Zhao Gang and them.
"Lao Li, this is the owner of the Zhao Jiayu Women's Rescue Association, Comrade Xiuqin." Zhao Gang pointed to a woman in her thirties and introduced to Li Yunlong.
After speaking, he turned around and pointed to Li Yunlong to introduce Xiuqin: "This is Comrade Li Yunlong, the head of our new regiment. ”
"Hello, Comrade Xiuqin, I'm really bothering you." Li Yunlong stretched out his hand and shook Xiuqin.
Then his eyes couldn't help but look at her, although she was not too old, but because she lived in the countryside and often participated in labor, her skin was not very good, and she looked like a person in her thirties when she was only in her twenties.
The reason why Li Yunlong is so interested in her is not because he means anything about her, but because in the TV series, this girl named Xiuqin is Li Yunlong's first wife, and she was later caught by Yamamoto Kazuki on the day she married Li Yunlong.
Li Yunlong took the lead in attacking Ping'an County without authorization, and it was because of her.
Xiuqin was a little embarrassed by Li Yunlong, and hurriedly said: "Don't bother, Commander Li, don't bother, we have been looking forward to the main force coming over for a long time, but I didn't expect it to be really expected by us, I welcome you on behalf of the name of Zhaojiayu's village." ”
"Sister Xiuqin, no matter what, on behalf of all the soldiers of the new regiment, I still want to thank you. Thank you for solving the urgent needs of our troops, at least come to Zhaojiayu to live. Your Women's Relief Society has done a very good job and is in place. Li Yunlong said very gratefully. In this way, the new group saves a lot of trouble, and you can have a place to live as soon as you come.
"No, this is what we should do, let the soldiers go into the village and drink saliva." Miss Xiuqin looked at the somewhat exhausted soldiers behind Li Yunlong and said.
"Okay."
After hearing Li Yunlong's answer, Xiuqin hurriedly beckoned the villagers of Zhaojiayu to bring the soldiers behind him into the village, and began to divide the soldiers into dormitories according to the previous agreement.
And the headquarters of the Japanese First Army in Taiyuan, Yoshio Shinozuka also received Li Yunlong's new regiment and has begun to move the defense.
"Report to Your Excellency Commander, according to intelligence, there has suddenly been a large-scale change of troops on the side of the Chinese Army, and it is the new regiment of the 386 Brigade that has been replaced. Now Li Yunlong's whereabouts are unknown, and the intelligence services are investigating. Kusuyama Hideyoshi said to Yoshio Shinozuka.
"Nani, Li Yunlong's troops have changed guards? Where is it going, there is no information from the intelligence services. Yoshio Shinozuka asked at Hideyoshi Kusuyama.
The First Army was on Li Yunlong, but it suffered too many losses, and many excellent commanders were defeated in the hands of Li Yunlong. From Nobutsu Sakata at the beginning, to Kazuki Yamamoto, Ichiro Fujita later, to Jihei Yamazaki recently.
Every Japanese officer who died under Li Yunlong was an excellent commander in the First Army, so Yoshio Shinozuka was particularly concerned about Li Yunlong.
"At present, the intelligence department is investigating, and there is no news yet, but I have already given an order to that side, and as soon as there is any news, it will be reported to us immediately." Hideyoshi Yamanan replied to Yoshio Shinozuka.
"Shannanjun, what kind of phenomenon do you think the Eighth Route Army's sudden change of guard this time is. Where will they do it next? ”
Yoshio Shinozuka got up and walked to the map, looking at the map and asking Hideyoshi Yamanan.
"Your Excellency Commander, no matter where the Eighth Route Army goes, our First Army must always be on alert, after all, they are still in Shanxi, and I think it is unlikely that they will go somewhere else." Kusuyama Hideyoshi also came to the side of the map to look at it and said to Yoshio Shinozuka.
"Where do you think Li Yunlong will go back?"
"Your Excellency, Commander, forgive me for my incompetence, and I can't guess where Li Yunlong will go. After all, the Chinese Army, especially the Eighth Route Army, likes to do it the most. And it is also possible to break up Li Yunlong's new group, and then send them to other places. In this way, it will be even more difficult for us to find him. Kusuyama Hideyoshi analyzed to Yoshio Shinozuka.
"Yo Xi, Nanshan-kun, the situation you said is not impossible, but no matter where Li Yunlong's shell goes, and whether he is broken into pieces or not, we must find him, then annihilate him, and order the intelligence department to quickly investigate Li Yunlong's whereabouts. If needed, we can ask the intelligence department of the North China Dispatch Army to assist us in our investigation. ”
"Hayi." Hideyoshi Kusuyama immediately agreed when he heard Yoshio Shinozuka's words, and then turned around and walked out of the combat command room.
And Yoshio Shinozuka is still staring at the map on the wall. I thought to myself: "Where will this guy Li Yunlong go?" ”
…………
In Zhaojiayu, Huzi had already cleaned up the room at the regiment headquarters, and Li Yunlong called Zhang Dabiao and four other battalion commanders over for a meeting.
"Lao Li, the people have arrived, let's start." Zhao Gang said to Li Yunlong with a notebook.
"Okay, there are two things to call everyone over this time, first, it is the problem of Dagu Town, Zhang Dabiao, this matter will be solved by your first battalion, where will your first battalion be stationed after taking down Dagu Town, and contact the monk specifically, and let the elite team assist your first battalion." Li Yunlong turned his head to Zhang Dabiao and said.
"It's the regiment commander, and our battalion is guaranteed to complete the mission." Zhang Dabiao immediately replied to Li Yunlong.
"The second battalion and the third battalion are stationed on the left and right of the first battalion, Dagu Town is a good place, if the devil knows that Dagu Town has been taken over by us, he will definitely take back this place. When the time comes, I'm afraid we'll have to fight a face-to-face battle with the devils. You have to fight this battle well, because this is related to our next recruitment problem, and when you first arrive, the first battle must beat the reputation of our new regiment out, so that the fellow villagers know what kind of army our new regiment is. ”
"Yes, the regimental commander, please rest assured, we promise to complete the task." The second battalion commander and the third battalion commander spoke.
"After repelling the attack of the devils, it is equivalent to the reputation of our new regiment to the southwest, Lao Zhao, it is up to you next, this time we will recruit as many soldiers as we have as many weapons, and now we have more than 2,800 people in our new regiment, after this recruitment, I hope that our team will at least double." Li Yunlong said with a smile to the few people present.
"Lao Li, it's nothing to recruit troops, but if we recruit so many troops at once, where is the brigade commander ......." Zhao Gang said with some hesitation.
After all, there are more than 1,000 people in a regular regiment, and there are more than 3,000 people in a reinforced regiment at most, and Li Yunlong is going to make the strength of the regiment rise to more than 5,000 at once, which is almost the strength of a brigade.
Besides, with so many people, the logistics in the regiment can't keep up. Weapons and ammunition are good to say, there have been several battles before, and a lot of them have been captured, although they were robbed once by the brigade commander during the period, but there are still a lot of them in the warehouse, which is enough for the new regiment to increase the strength of more than 5,000, but the logistics are a little unbearable.
After all, 5,000 people is 5,000 mouths, and if the number of troops is doubled, the pressure on logistics will also be doubled.
"You don't have to worry about the brigade commander, if you have a problem, let the brigade commander come to me." After Li Yunlong finished speaking to Zhao Gang, he turned his head to several battalion commanders and said: "After Dagu Town is taken, the focus of each battalion will all be shifted to recruitment. ”
"Got it, Commander." For the recruitment of soldiers in the regiment, several battalion commanders are very willing, after all, this is also a disguised promotion for them.
Although the position of the battalion commander has not changed, he does the work of the regiment commander.
After all, Ding Wei's new Second Regiment was only more than 1,200 people when it was full before, and when the recruitment of several of them is completed, the average number of each battalion will increase to more than 1,000.
"Okay, that's all for today's meeting, you all go down and prepare. Zhang Dabiao, the matter of Dagu Town, wait for the completion of the combat report to show me. Li Yunlong said to Zhang Dabiao uneasily.
"Yes, Captain." Zhang Dabiao heard Li Yunlong's words and hurriedly agreed.
Then everyone began to disperse, because Li Yunlong had already assigned the task, and they just went down to carry it out.
Not long after the crowd dispersed, Huzi entered the house and said to Li Yunlong: "Leader, the monk is back." ”
"Even, let him in." As soon as Li Yunlong heard that the monk had returned, he hurriedly asked Huzi to bring him in.
Because the elite team is still tasked with reconnoitring the nearby enemy, the monk is back, which is great news for Li Yunlong, who still doesn't know much about the surrounding situation.
"Commander, I'm back." After the monk entered the house, he said to Li Yunlong.
"Monk, sit down quickly and give me an introduction to what you have detected so far." Li Yunlong pulled the monk to sit down and said anxiously.
"Regiment commander, it's like this, there is a sixty-ninth division of devils stationed near us." Wei Dayong picked up the water cup on the table, took a sip and continued: "The 69th Division of the First Army of the Japanese Army is the commander of the regiment. There were three wings, which were stationed in Heyuan County, Ping'an County, and Anhua County, and his division headquarters was in Ping'an County. The monk took out a map from his chest and spread it on the table and explained to Li Yunlong.
"Oh, it seems that this place is very important to the devils, the three county towns are so close, and there is also a division of troops." Li Yunlong pondered for a moment when he heard the monk's words and said.
"Yes, the regiment commander, opposite Heyuan County is the 358th Regiment of the Jin Sui Army, and the regiment commander is your old acquaintance Chu Yunfei. This regiment is not simple, not only is it a plus regiment, but also weapons, ammunition, personnel, and logistics, Yan Laoxi gives priority to supplying him, and the rest are some national troops, bandits and our troops. ”
