Northwest of Shanxi.

Big Lonely Town.

Chief of Staff Wang Dehou held a telegram in his hand and walked quickly into the outhouse of the regiment headquarters.

reported to Li Yunlong: "Regiment commander, the headquarters is in an emergency, the devils in Taiyuan have moved, and the troops of the three divisions are heading north. ”

Li Yunlong raised his head when he heard this, his eyes were sharp, and he took the telegram from Chief of Staff Wang and read it.

After reading the telegram, Li Yunlong sneered: "Lao Tzu had expected it, Okamura Ningji, this old devil, was quite anxious. ”

The tens of thousands of troops of the three divisions and regiments marched north, and they certainly could not hide the intelligence network of the Eighth Route Army.

As soon as the devil's side was dispatched, the headquarters received the information, and then passed the information to the new group.

"It's mainly supported by Boss Chen's intelligence." Chief of Staff Wang also smiled: "Otherwise, it will be difficult for us to guess the date of the Japanese army's action." ”

"Also, the new second regiment and the independent regiment have replied, and the people of their two defense areas are already gathering closer to the Yellow River ferry, and the people will carry their belongings and cross the river in batches."

Li Yunlong nodded: "The devil has no plane, and the people should be able to cross the river safely, but the people must be asked to speed up the speed of crossing the river." ”

The new 2nd Regiment and the Independent Regiment each had to face the attack of two second-line divisions, and the pressure was very great.

It is also necessary to keep the devils out of the base area and let the people cross the river smoothly.

Relatively speaking, the pressure on the new regiment was not very great, and it only had to face the attack of a division regiment.

With the strength of the new regiment now, Li Yunlong is really not afraid of being tough with a first-class division group.

What's more, this time the Japanese division is the attacking side, and the new regiment is the defending side, and when the strength of the two sides is about the same, of course, the defending side is more advantageous.

If the Japanese army sent a second-line division to attack the new first regiment, if there were no more than two second-line divisions, they would not dare to come to the side.

Li Yunlong said again: "In addition, inform the battalion commanders to immediately go to the regiment headquarters for a meeting. ”

"Yes!"

Wang Dehou straightened up, turned around and walked out.

Li Yunlong lifted the curtain and walked into the inner room of the regiment headquarters, where Chen Feng was wearing an Eighth Route military uniform and was sitting on the kang table and wiping his gun.

Li Yunlong smiled and said, "Brother Chen, in the afternoon, our new regiment will hold a pre-war military meeting, and you can also attend it, and by the way, give us some advice." ”

Chen Feng put the gun into the holster, and then said: "It's okay to participate in the meeting, don't give your opinions, I won't cause trouble for your group." ”

He knows Li Yunlong very well, but Li Yunlong doesn't know.

How can a commander like Li Yunlong, who doesn't like military democracy very much, listen to other people's fingers?

Li Yunlong said with a smile: "Brother Chen is humble, then I will call you when the meeting starts." ”

Of course, Li Yunlong didn't like it when others put forward different opinions, but Chen Feng was different, he really wanted to hear Chen Feng's opinion.

Of course, in the end, whether it will be adopted is another matter.

Li Yunlong lifted the curtain and walked out, Chen Feng took out his pistol again and continued to wipe it.

……

Afternoon.

The twenty-two battalion commanders of the new 1st Regiment gathered at the headquarters of the new 1st Regiment in Dagu Town.

They are 4 main battalions, 7 divisional battalions, 3 artillery battalions, cavalry battalions, machine gun battalions, anti-aircraft artillery battalions, tank battalions, guard battalions, engineer battalions, automobile battalions and transport battalions.

That's pretty much all the troops of the new regiment.

There are more than 24,000 people in total, another 5 bases of ammunition, and battlefield airdrops that are ready to call at any time, which can be called strong soldiers and horses, and rich in food, grass and ammunition.

If you include the militia of the villages, there are more than 40,000 people in total, but the militia generally does not participate in the fighting, but is responsible for logistics and organizing the evacuation of the people.

In addition to training, the militia also had to participate in farm work, and only fighters who became the main force of the new regiment were out of work.

Since the troops came to the northwest of Shanxi, Li Yunlong did not let the new regiment be reduced to zero, but tried his best to change his guerrilla habits and adapt to fighting head-on with the Japanese army and the large corps.

The troops have been fighting guerrilla warfare for so many years, and it takes a process to evolve into a large corps operation.

However, after fighting a few battles, the commanders and fighters of the new regiment became more and more accustomed to the rhythm of the large corps.

After all, fighting a large corps battle can kill thousands of devils at a time, and a small-scale ambush battle, it is too much to be able to kill one or two hundred devils.

In the courtyard of the regimental headquarters, twenty-two battalion commanders sat on benches.

Li Yunlong sat opposite, with Zhao Gang, Xing Zhiguo, and Chen Feng playing soy sauce beside him.

There were several battalion commanders of the sub-divisions who didn't know Chen Feng yet, and they looked at Chen Feng with a look of surprise on their faces.

Almost all the battalion commanders from southeast Jin knew Chen Feng, but the battalion commanders sent by the headquarters, such as Yao Shangwen and Yang Jiuping, had only heard of Chen Feng and had never seen him.

Li Yunlong glanced at everyone, and said: "Some of you don't know this boss next to me, let me introduce to you, this is Boss Chen who has been providing weapons and ammunition assistance to our new regiment, this time the anti-sweeping operation, Boss Chen came to our new regiment as a military adviser!" ”

Immediately after, Zhao Gang stood up and said, "Everyone warmly welcomes Consultant Chen!" ”

After speaking, Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang stood up and took the lead in applauding, and more than 20 battalion commanders also stood up and applauded.

Chen Feng stood up and bowed to the twenty-two battalion commanders.

After the applause, Li Yunlong said: "This time for our anti-sweeping operation, Consultant Chen will provide us with a wartime projection, that is to say, this time we can fight in the open!" ”

When the battalion commanders heard this, their eyes suddenly became hot.

5 base ammunition can be replenished by airdrop at any time after the fight.

The battalion commander of the third division stood up and bowed his hand to Chen Feng: "Thank you Advisor Chen, I, Yang Jiuping, have never fought such a rich battle in my eight lives!" ”

Seeing this, the other battalion commanders also quickly stood up and thanked Chen Feng, who responded one by one with a smile.

Li Yunlong said: "Don't be beautiful first, the problem of ammunition will be solved by Consultant Chen, with so much ammunition, if you can't play well, Lao Tzu will scold your mother!" ”

The battalion commanders were smiling, red-faced, and confident.

The weapons and equipment are better than the devils, the ammunition is more than the devils, and it is also the defensive side, if you can't beat the devils, just go home and coax the children.

At this moment, Wang Dehou held a telegram in his hand and walked out of the communication team room with two combat staff officers.

Wang Dehou said: "The latest information from the headquarters, the devils of the two divisions assembled in Datong have also been dispatched. ”

Li Yunlong nodded with a solemn expression: "The devils of the 5 divisions have all been dispatched, and there are also 20,000 puppet troops, adding up to more than 100,000 people!" ”

Li Yunlong secretly admired the strategic vision of the head of the headquarters, but fortunately, the headquarters also sent the new second regiment and the independent regiment to the northwest of Shanxi Province to establish a base area.

Otherwise, the new regiment alone would really not be able to stop the attack of 5 divisions and 20,000 puppet troops.

Although the new 2nd Regiment and the Independent Regiment could not stop the attack of the 4 divisions, as long as the 4 divisions were delayed, they could buy time for the new 1st Regiment and the evacuated civilians.

The expressions of the battalion commanders also became a little solemn.

"The devils have gathered heavy troops and are menacing, but our new group is not scared!"

Li Yunlong glanced at everyone, and his tone was domineering and ruthless:

"This time, there are fraternal units of the New Second Regiment and the Independent Regiment to share the pressure for us."

"The 21st and 35th Divisions of the Devils will attack the New Second Regiment, and the 23rd and 25th Divisions will attack the Independent Regiment, and our opponent is the 10th Division of the Devils!"

Li Yunlong looked around, and his tone became serious.

"Now I'll assign a combat mission."

"There are two main ways for devils to attack the base area, one is from Dagu Town, and the other is from Lijia Town."

"Dagu Town was defended by the 1st and 2nd Battalions, and Lijia Town was defended by the 3rd and 4th Battalions."

"In addition, there are 9 small roads that can enter the base area, and the first, second, and third battalions of the division will defend three small roads respectively, and the specific path division will be found after the meeting is dismissed."

The path is more dangerous, and the dark fort has been built, so it can be said that it is impossible to open it.

A divisional battalion had no problem defending three trails at all.

Now that the base area has built a road, the Japanese army can only take the road if it wants to transport heavy firepower into the base area, so the main direction of the Japanese attack will be in the direction of Dagu Town and Lijia Town.

As for the three county seats, they were directly abandoned, anyway, most of the people in the county town had already moved away, and they were three empty cities.

After the devils have occupied the three county towns and withdrawn the army, the new regiment will take back the county town with a backhand, and it will be able to earn a wave of equipment and food, wouldn't it be beautiful?

The battalion commanders took the small notebook and wrote it down, and Li Yunlong continued: "The combat materials used by the devils to sweep up our base areas are mainly hoarded in Datong and Taiyuan. ”

"The 6th and 7th battalions of the division should jump to the outer line in advance, and after the battle begins, they will attack the logistics supply line of the devils."

"Hehe, if you're lucky, you two can still make a few fortunes."

Li Yunlong looked at the commander of the sixth and seventh battalions of the division, and smiled, and the two battalion commanders also smiled.

The two battalion commanders are named Wang Faming and Zhao Youliang, both of whom graduated from Kang Da and were assigned to the new regiment by the headquarters, and both of them liked the atmosphere of the new regiment very much.

"However, after you two battalions have jumped to the outside line, don't use the radio until you have to."

"The little devil has the means to detect the location of the station, even if he wants to use the radio to contact the regiment headquarters, he will transfer it as soon as he sends the telegram."

"Yes!" Wang Faming and Zhao Youliang responded in unison.

As for the 4th and 5th Battalions of the Division, they were used by Li Yunlong as reserves.

After assigning the combat missions of other troops, Grand Master Li smiled: "In the first battle of Xinzhou, the devil's plane was shot down by Advisor Chen's plane, so this anti-sweeping operation does not need air defense, our machine gun battalions are all dispersed to various infantry battalions, and Lao Tzu wants to let the devils of the A division taste the taste of 20 mm machine guns." ”

Facing the devils of the A division, Li Yunlong decided to be ruthless and directly machine guns fired at the devil infantry.

When the battalion commanders heard this, the corners of their mouths turned up, and their eyes were fierce.

The new regiment has a total of more than 300 20-mm machine guns, plus five base 20-mm shells, as well as Boss Chen's airdrop supplies, which will definitely make the devils of the 10th Division drink a big pot.

Before the meeting ended, Zhao Gang instructed: "The 10th Division is one of the Devil's A divisions and permanent divisions, and its combat effectiveness is extremely strong. ”
