Hearing Nakajima's words, Muto asked three times more curiously: "Nakajima-kun, why do you want to send two squadrons of troops to the left and right sides of Dagu Town, and directly unite together?" ”

"Your Excellency, the commander of the division is like this, the second and third battalions of the new regiment are deployed on the left and right sides of Dagu Town, each with the strength of one battalion, this is the latest situation detected by our intelligence officers, I think so, let the strength of two squadrons contain the second and third battalions of the new first regiment, and then use the strength of two wings to attack Dagu Town, and strive to take down Dagu Town in one battle, if it can be re-created as a new regiment, it would be better." Nakajima explained to Muto Miku.

Hearing Nakajima's words, Muto nodded three times, frowned and said, "If we want to inflict heavy damage on the new group, our forces are still a little insufficient." ”

"Although His Excellency the Commander-in-Chief has reinforced our 69th Division with two wings, the Eighth Route Army is not only a new regiment, if we use too many troops this time, Heyuan County and Anhua County are estimated to be attacked by the independent regiment and the new regiment. In addition, our enemy is not only the Eighth Route Army, but also the 358th Regiment, 361st Regiment, 365th Regiment and 371st Regiment of the Jinsui Army. If the Jin Sui army also wants to join in the fun, then I am afraid that we will not take much advantage of this operation. ”

Although their 69th Division has a strength of more than 13,000 people, plus the two wings supported by Taiyuan, the total strength has reached more than 15,000 people.

But the enemy on the opposite side should not be underestimated, there are more than 110,000 people in the four regiments of the Jin Sui Army alone, plus three regiments of the Eighth Route Army, the total strength should be about twice as much as their own, not counting those bandits who occupy the mountains as kings.

Although the combat effectiveness of the two sides is not the same, Muto Sanbei is still a little uneasy about taking the initiative to attack the enemy's defensive position.

Therefore, he did not want to expand the war, as long as this operation could bring down Dagu Town, as for the new regiment that severely damaged Li Yunlong, he did not hold out much hope.

You must know that the current Japanese army is not the same as when it first entered China a few years ago, and the strength of a division of the Japanese army was at least 25,000 people, but since the center of gravity of the mainland began to tilt towards the South Seas, the number of troops sent to fight in China began to decrease.

In the past, the strength of a division was at least 25,000 people, and the maximum number of troops could be 28,000, but now, a division is directly divided into two divisions and regiments, and the maximum strength is more than 10,000 people.

Therefore, the Japanese army fighting in China began to move from the offensive side to the defensive side from the 41st year, and a group of Eighth Route Army, which was consolidating the occupied area and fighting behind enemy lines in the occupied area, launched an encirclement and suppression.

"Your Excellency the division commander, there is no way but to wait for the mainland to solve the problem in the South Seas, and then we can shift the focus back." Looking at the melancholy Muto Mitsukajima Feng with a melancholy face, he spoke.

Hearing Nakajima's words, Muto Sandou came back to his senses and continued: "Let's not talk about this for now, when are you going to attack. ”

"Three days later,"

"Yo Xi, then three days later." Muto Mitsubi nodded when he heard it and said, "By the way, are you going to use those troops?" ”

"The two wings sent by Your Excellency the Commander will draw two more squadrons from our 69th Division." Nakajima Feng thought for a while and said, he also has a dead heart to do this, after all, as long as there are casualties in battle, he definitely doesn't want to be killed or injured by his own descendants.

The two wings sent by the commander were different, they were just some scattered troops who were temporarily put together, and no one supported them, even if the casualties were great.

Hearing Nakajima's words, Muto knew what he meant, but he couldn't ask much about this matter, after all, Nakajima Feng was also for the good of the 69th Division, and he, as the division commander of the 69th Division, was the most profitable party, so he could only say: "Then let's decide like this." ”

"Hayi, then I'll go down and prepare."

"Go ahead."

Hearing Muto's words, Nakajima walked out of the office directly and went down to mobilize the troops.

Soon, the transfer of the devil attracted the attention of a new group of intelligence officers. This information was sent back to the regimental headquarters of the new regiment.

"Lao Li, the devils in Ping'an County have moved, according to the news from the inside, the little devils have recently started to distribute ammunition and prepare dry food, and I feel that the devils are going to do something to Dagu Town." Zhao Gang said to Li Yunlong with the news from the inside.

"Damn, the little devil finally has moved, Huzi, go, tell Zhang Dabiao, let him be ready to be vigilant at all times, in case the little devil sneaks up." Hearing Zhao Gang's words, Li Yunlong commanded Huzi with some excitement.

"Yes, Captain." After saying that, Huzi walked out.

"Lao Li, do you want to evacuate the people in Dagu Town, after all, there is no eye for the guns, and it will not be good if there are casualties." Zhao Gang said with some concern.

After all, if such a thing happens, the impression of their new group in the hearts of the people will be greatly discounted. It is also not conducive to future development.

Hearing Zhao Gang's words, Li Yunlong felt that it made sense, so he said: "Okay, just do it, Lao Zhao, you go to Dagu Town now." personally responsible for this matter, I'm afraid that Zhang Dabiao has no experience in this area. Or you go more assured. We must make good arrangements for the transfer of the common people, and we must not let the villagers have any accidents.

"Okay, I'll go." After Zhao Gang finished speaking to Li Yunlong, he walked out of the regiment headquarters and rode away in the direction of Dagu Town.

"Huzi, go, the telegraph operator called me to get it." Li Yunlong shouted at the returning tiger after seeing Zhao Gang go away.

"Yes, Captain." Huzi responded, and ran to the next room to call the telegraph operator.

"Commander, you're looking for me." The telegraph operator came over and asked Li Yunlong.

"Go, send this telegram to the brigade headquarters." Li Yunlong said as he picked up the note and handed it to the telegraph operator.

After all, he is not the previous Li Yunlong, he doesn't say anything to the above, he makes his own decisions.

"Yes, Captain." The telegraph operator took the note and returned to the telegraph room and began to send telegrams to the brigade headquarters.

After receiving Li Yunlong's telegram, the brigade headquarters forwarded it to the headquarters organs.

"Report to the chief, an urgent telegram from the 386 Brigade." After receiving the telegram, the correspondent did not dare to delay for a moment, rushed into the combat command room and reported directly to the chief.

Hearing the communicator's words, the chief raised his head and asked: "Say, what happened to the 386 Brigade again?" ”

"It's Li Yunlong of the new group." As he spoke, the correspondent handed the telegram to the chief.

"Oh, it's Li Yunlong again?" The chief took the telegram and before he could read it, he opened his mouth and muttered.

Hearing the telegram from Li Yunlong, the second leader also came over curiously and asked:

"Isn't Li Yunlong's new regiment transferred to southwest Jinxi? Why, just after arriving at the place, you got into trouble again? ”

The chief explained while reading the telegram: "Something happened, didn't Li Yunlong knock down Dagu Town some time ago, and now the Japanese army wants to retaliate, and Li Yunlong reported the battle plan for counterattacking the Japanese army." "After reading the telegram, the first chief handed the telegram to the second chief.

After reading the telegram, the two leaders got up and came to the map, and found Li Yunlong's current location on the map, and then found the location of Dagu Town, and then found the independent regiment and the new second regiment, as well as the locations of Ping'an County, Heyuan County, and Anhua County.

"Old man, what do you think of Li Yunlong's battle plan? Isn't it a bit radical. The second leader asked with a frown.

After all, judging from the map, the little devil is menacing, relying on Li Yunlong, Ding Wei, and Kong Jie alone, their three regiments are indeed a little weak, although there are still four regiments of the Jin Sui Army next to them, but after all, their relationship with Yan Xishan is not very good, although the two sides are now friendly forces, but people may not help with this.

But the boss had another idea: "I think we can give it a try, as long as we can kill the devil, it will be profitable for us." Another point is that we have to fight this battle no matter what, after all, our troops have just arrived there, and if we retreat as soon as the Japanese army comes, then let the masses think of us and how they will look at our army. ”

"Although this is the case, I am worried about whether Li Yunlong can hold on, after all, the main purpose of the devil is Dagu Town, and Li Yunlong will be under the greatest pressure, how can he face the menacing little devil with the strength of a regiment." The second leader said with some confusion, he also knew that this battle could not be retreated, but his strength did not allow it.

"I don't care about this, since Li Yunlong has already made a battle plan, he must be sure to win this battle, I just want the result, as for the process, this is something that he Li Yunlong should worry about.

"Correspondent, go, call back to the new regiment, and say that the headquarters agreed with his battle plan. The only requirement is that this battle must be won, and if he can't win it, let him Li Yunlong come to me with his head up. ”

"Then do you want to communicate with Jin Suijun's side, after all, we are still friendly forces now, even if we can't act together, we have to give some help." Chief Two proposed.

After all, this operation is related to the fate of the three regiments of the Eighth Route Army, and if the casualties are too large, it will also hurt the bones and bones for the Eighth Route Army.

…………

Zhao Jiayu's new regimental headquarters, Li Yunlong was lying on the table and had already mapped the map, when he saw the telegraph operator running in in a hurry.

"Commander, there's a telegram from headquarters." After the telegraph operator finished speaking, he directly handed the telegram to Li Yunlong.

"Huzi, go, let Sun Desheng get ready, and wait for me to go to Dagu Town." After reading the telegram, Li Yunlong shouted to Huzi who was guarding the side.

"By the way, arrange people to notify the New Second Regiment and the Independent Regiment respectively, and say that the devils are now preparing to attack Dagu Town, and let them act as planned." Li Yunlong said that he hadn't informed Ding Wei and Kong Jie, two old comrades-in-arms, so he shouted at Huzi again.

"If you know, the head of the regiment, I'll let people say it." After Huzi heard Li Yunlong's extraordinary words, he hurriedly arranged for someone to ride a horse to inform the new second regiment and the independent regiment, after all, time is pressing now, and he doesn't know when the little devil will do it.

"Regiment Commander, Company Commander Sun is ready." Huzi finished the matter and ran back to the regiment headquarters and said to Li Yunlong.

"Okay, let's go, let's go to Dagu Town." Hearing Huzi's words, Li Yun got up and walked out, and after gathering with Sun Desheng, he ran all the way to Dagu Town.

And after Zhao Gang arrived in Dagu Town, he asked Zhang Dabiao for a company's troops, and then began to notify the people door to door.

"Young man, didn't your regiment leader say that he could defend Dagu Town? Why do you still want us to transfer? A fellow said dissatisfiedly to the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army who came to inform him, he thought that the Eighth Route Army was going to run away with them.

"It's such a fellow, we can defend Dagu Town, but when the devil attacks, he will use cannons, and the cannonballs have no eyes, so it's not good if he hurts you. You better take your family and transfer with our political commissar, and when we beat the little devil back, we will pick you up. The little soldier patiently explained after hearing the countryman's question.

"But what about my house, our ancestors have lived here for generations, such a big family business, just throw it away?" The old man continued to speak to the little warrior.

At this time, Zhao Gang happened to pass by, heard the conversation between the little soldier and the old man, and saw that the two had an argument, so he hurriedly walked over and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

When the little soldier heard the voice, he looked back and saw that it was the political commissar, so he saluted and said: "It's such a political commissar, the old man said that he could go, but he was worried about the house at home, and I was explaining it to him." ”

Zhao Gang breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, he was afraid that the soldiers would clash with the villagers because of this matter, after all, this would affect the impression of the Eighth Route Army in the hearts of the masses, so he said: "Uncle, don't worry, if the little devil blows up your old house, our Eighth Route Army is responsible for repairing it for you to ensure that you have a house to live in when you come back." ”

It's not a matter of doing anything like this, anyway, after repelling the devils, they will also repair the damaged house, as long as it's not the kind of nail household, the kind that won't leave no matter what, and the rest is easy to say.

However, the general fellows are in charge of the work of the new group, and as long as they explain it clearly, they will choose to follow the arrangement and transfer.

Unless it is the kind of person who has other ideas in his heart, for this kind of person, Li Yunlong told the soldiers of the new regiment that they are left alone, since they choose not to believe us, then we don't have to care about their life and death.

"Alright then, then I'll evacuate with you." Hearing Zhao Gang's words, the old man said helplessly, after all, his homeland is difficult to leave, but he sees that such a big official has told him so, and he can't find anything wrong with it.

Hearing the old man's words, Zhao Gang also breathed a sigh of relief, and then said to the little soldier: "Help the old man." ”

"Yes, Commissar." The little soldier heard Zhao Gang's words, so he went into the house to help the old man's family pack up their things.

After Zhao Gang dealt with this matter, he continued to patrol the town to see which family still had any difficulties or difficulties, and to see if the soldiers had quarreled with the villagers.
