Li Yunlong soon rode back to Yang Village.

Last night, I discussed the battle plan and emergency preparedness with several leaders until midnight, and I only squinted for a while when it was almost dawn.

However, Li Yunlong felt that he was full of energy and did not have the slightest tiredness.

"Lao Li, has the head of the headquarters agreed to attack Taiyuan?"

Hearing the neighing of military horses, Zhao Gang hurriedly came out of the entrance of the regiment department, and seeing the expression on Li Yunlong's face, Zhao Gang knew that the head of the headquarters must have agreed.

People are in good spirits on happy occasions, and if the head of the headquarters does not agree, Li Yunlong's expression must be sullen at this time.

"That's right, I agreed!"

Li Yunlong smiled at the corner of his mouth, and looked left and right: "Let's talk about it when I enter the regiment headquarters." ”

Although he knew the result in his heart, when he heard Li Yunlong say it from his mouth, Zhao Gang's eyes still lit up slightly.

Before Li Yunlong went to the headquarters, he had calculated with Zhao Gang about the feasibility of attacking Taiyuan.

The two of them totaled half a day, and finally came to a conclusion, which is not small.

Then Li Yunlong found Chen Feng, negotiated the price of Taiyuan, and then went to the brigade headquarters and headquarters.

Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang quickly walked into the inner room of the regiment headquarters, and after closing the door, Li Yunlong said: "Last night, I discussed the military meeting with the chiefs until the early hours of the morning, and finally determined the battle plan, we led the 3rd Column of Taihang to the north to attack Taiyuan, the division commander led the 2nd Column of Taihang to the south to attack the 37th Division, and the brigade commander led the 1st Column of Taihang to the north to attack the 2nd Guards Division. ”

"There are fraternal units of other military districts that will attack the enemy from their respective defense areas."

When Zhao Gang heard this, his tone was excited: "In this way, this is a big battle that is bigger than the Battle of the Hundred Regiments!" ”

Although the brother units of other military regions are not as rich as the Taihang Military Region.

But the main force plus the militia combined is almost 300,000, and so many troops attack the enemy at the same time, enough for the devil to drink a pot.

"That's right!" Li Yunlong nodded.

Afterwards, Li Yunlong walked quickly to the telephone, picked up the phone, and called Ding Wei, Cheng Shifa, and Kong Jie respectively.

They were ordered to immediately go to Yang Village for a meeting.

At this time, Ding Wei, Kong Jie and Cheng Shifa respectively commanded the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd attack groups of the 3rd Column of Taihang.

Each attack group had four infantry regiments, but the artillery unit this time lacked a brigade artillery regiment, and only the artillery battalion of the new regiment and the howitzer regiment directly under the headquarters.

The brigade cavalry regiment was also assigned to the brigade commander's 1st column in Taihang.

However, the rest of the troops were the same as the last ones, and each regiment was replenished and extremely well equipped.

Even the new regiment was replenished with more than 2,000 people, and the total strength was only a lot more than the last time.

If you add the militia, there are more than 50,000 people in total.

However, several militias are armed with a single gun, so the militia generally does not participate directly in the fighting, but is responsible for the logistics of transporting food, ammunition and the wounded.

Li Yunlong only needed to give the order to Ding Wei, Kong Jie, and Cheng Shifa, and then they issued it to the regiments.

After making the call, Li Yunlong turned around and said, "By the way, the headquarters also sent a chief of staff and a deputy head to our regiment. ”

This is what Li Yunlong had reported to his superiors before.

Fortunately, since the last time he led the Taihang column to fight, Li Yunlong found that the personnel around him were seriously insufficient.

The guards, Lu Yingjun, and Liu Dali were doing the work of combat staff officers.

And now that the entire new group has more than 8,000 people, Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang are indeed a little unable to manage so many people.

"Oh?" Zhao Gang asked, "Who are the chief of staff and the deputy head of the regiment?" ”

Li Yunlong said: "They are all old acquaintances, the chief of staff is Wang Dehou, the operational staff officer of the headquarters, and the deputy head is Xing Zhiguo. ”

Wang Dehou is every time the headquarters receives strange good news, among the operational staff officers of the headquarters, he is often the first to guess that it is the fat staff officer who was done by Li Yunlong.

"Xing Zhiguo, isn't he the head of the New Fifth Regiment?" Wang Dehou came to be the chief of staff of the new regiment Zhao Gang didn't have anything to say, but isn't this Xing Zhiguo the regiment commander, why did he come to the new regiment as the deputy commander?

Li Yunlong said: "That's right, it's him, and he is also an old comrade-in-arms of my Fourth Front Army, this is an order from the headquarters." ”

The New Fifth Regiment was still a basic regiment before, and it fought well in the last blockade battle, but now it has increased its equipment and replenished its troops, and it has properly become the main regiment.

However, it is clear that the headquarters is paying more attention to the development of the new regiment.

He not only assigned the operational staff officer of the headquarters to Li Yunlong as chief of staff, but also gave him the head of the main regiment as deputy commander.

However, although on the surface, Xing Zhiguo's position has declined, but now the new regiment is almost the size of 1 division, and it is also an American mechanic.

If you look at it from this aspect, Xing Zhiguo became the deputy commander of the new regiment, but he actually lived the days of the deputy commander of the American mechanic.

In fact, it is exalted.

Moreover, Xing Zhiguo himself had no opinion on the orders of the headquarters.

Half a month ago, Chu Yunfei came to a new group, bringing 3,000 yuan of ocean and some gifts, ostensibly on behalf of Yan Laoxi to come to condole.

In fact, he was ordered by Yan Laoxi, with Yan Laoxi's secret letter, and wanted to win over Li Yunlong.

Yan Laoxi's secret letter said that as long as Li Yunlong could take his group of men and horses to join the Jin Sui army, Li Yunlong would immediately be the division commander.

After making military achievements, Yan Laoxi immediately promoted Li Yunlong to be the commander of the army.

However, when Chu Yunfei visited the equipment and personnel scale of the new regiment, he was shocked on the spot.

Li Yunlong lives the life of a division commander, and you can buy Li Yunlong with the title of division commander?

After giving the letter to Li Yunlong, Chu Yunfei said goodbye the next day, and when he sent Chu Yunfei away, Li Yunlong told Chu Yunfei not to divulge the strength of the new group.

……

After about one hour, Kong Jie, Ding Wei and Cheng Shifa arrived at Yang Village one after another.

"Commander-in-chief, is there another big move?"

The last to enter the door was Cheng Shifa, and as soon as he entered the door with his front foot, he couldn't wait to ask Li Yunlong.

The two big moves were not successful, not only Li Yunlong was very depressed, but the regiment commanders and the commanders and fighters below were very depressed.

For this battle, all the troops prepared for more than a month, but as a result, their pants were taken off, and the devil was instigated, and they didn't dare to fight with us in eight ways?

Cheng Shifa also wanted to make another fortune with Li Yunlong, and last time, in addition to changing equipment and replenishing troops, the 772nd Regiment also got 2 howitzers and 30 tons of weapons and ammunition.

Although today's 772nd Regiment is not as good as the New First Regiment, the New Second Regiment and the Independent Regiment, it is also the main regiment that ranks first.

"yes, it's a big move again!"

"This time, the combat mission of our 3rd column in Taihang is to recover Taiyuan!"

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Li Yunlong got straight to the point and directly announced the combat mission.

"What are you talking about, recovering Taiyuan?"

Hearing this, Cheng Shifa was stunned as if he had been clicked, and Ding Wei and Kong Jie were even more shocked to stand up.

The face was shocked and incredulous.

They never expected that this big move would actually be to fight Taiyuan.

Then, the faces of the three of them changed in a surprisingly consistent manner, and they all changed from shock and incredulity to excitement.

It's fun to fight Taiyuan, and after a little thought, they must know that this is not Li Yunlong's decision with a pat on the head, Li Yunlong doesn't have such a big right, but an order from the headquarters.

Li Yunlong looked around, his expression was satisfied, and finally his gaze fell on the map on the table:

"This mission, for the time being, can only be known to a few of us, so as not to leak the information."

"After you go back, order all departments to prepare at least 3 days of dry food, and set off tomorrow night, and our attack groups will assemble in Chujia Village, which is 25 kilometers away from Taiyuan."

Needless to say, all the troops have been eating dry food these days.

The dry food was prepared and eaten, and new dry food was eaten after eating, and the departments prepared the dry food every day and waited for orders.

It's early May, and the weather is getting hotter, and if you prepare too much dry food, it will definitely spoil.

However, Li Yunlong did not have to worry about the problem of food for the soldiers, because there were more than 20,000 militiamen in charge of logistics and sufficient food preparations.

Li Yunlong continued: "When I get to Chujia Village, I will deploy the order to attack the city. ”

Everyone nodded, no opinion.

Next, the three of them asked Li Yunlong about the marching routes and logistical support of the various attack groups.

The three people who received the reply were satisfied and left Yang Village with great enthusiasm.

About half an hour after the three of them left, there was a buzzing sound in the sky, and Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang came to the courtyard, raised their binoculars and looked at the sky above where the sound came.

I saw a devil's reconnaissance plane flying by at a low altitude and flying in the north direction without looking back.

Zhao Gang said: "These days, the devil's reconnaissance planes frequently enter and leave the base area, and the loss is that we received all the weapons, ammunition and food in the middle of last month, otherwise Yangcun Airport is likely to be discovered by the devils." ”

Li Yunlong scolded and said: "Damn, it's quite arrogant, dare to fly a little lower, and watch the labor and management beat it down." ”

Although the machine gun battalion was not stationed in Yang Village, the regiment headquarters also had a few machine guns, plus a few guns from the 1st Battalion Artillery Company, which could really shoot down the devil reconnaissance plane.

Zhao Gang's tone was strange: "However, this old devil Yoshio Shinozuka is not at ease with our Eighth Route Army, and sends reconnaissance planes to conduct reconnaissance every day, according to the information provided by Brother Chen Feng, the Japanese army's attack on the Central Army of Zhongtiao Mountain this time actually dispatched 2 flying teams and 1 flying brigade, and about 200 planes were deployed at the two airports of Yuncheng and Xinxiang, if only these two airports could be killed." ”

Li Yunlong snorted and said: "The little devil will guard against us, not to mention Yuncheng Airport, this Changzhi Airport is obviously dozens of kilometers closer than Xinxiang Airport to Zhongtiao Mountain, and the little devil is afraid that we will send special forces to attack the airport and blow up the devil's plane." ”

Yuncheng Airport is about 300 kilometers away from the base area, and Xinxiang Airport is about 200 kilometers away from the base area.

The whip is out of reach.

Zhao Gang's tone was solemn: "In this way, the pressure on us to attack Taiyuan is not small, and the little devil only needs to send forty or fifty planes to reinforce Taiyuan, which is enough for us to drink a pot." ”

"Don't worry, I'm prepared."

Li Yunlong said: "The deposit that Brother Chen wants to give us this time was originally 300 tons of weapons and ammunition and 300 tons of food, and I replaced all 300 tons of weapons and ammunition with 20 mm machine guns. ”

Zhao Gang looked overjoyed, and hurriedly asked, "How many machine guns have you replaced?" ”

"It scares you when you say it, it's 300 doors!" Li Yunlong's tone was arrogant, "Plus 300,000 rounds of 20-mm machine artillery shells, hmph, it's hard to say who will drink the pot at that time." ”

"300 cannons? 300,000 rounds of machine shells!? Zhao Gang couldn't help but take a breath, and his tone was full of surprise, "Lao Li, our anti-aircraft firepower is a little scary." ”
