The chief ordered the Jizhong Military Region and the Independent Regiment to flank the three divisions of the Japanese army attacking Niangzi Pass.

It's not a hot brain, it's well thought out.

At present, the three divisions of the Japanese army are not fully established, and their strength and combat effectiveness are similar to those of the two Japanese divisions and regiments.

The total casualties of the three devil divisions were one-third, and the casualties of the ordinary troops were one-third, so they had to be withdrawn and repaired.

But.

The Japanese army's will to fight was relatively tenacious, and even though most of the casualties were lost, they were still able to maintain sustained combat effectiveness.

Even the devils of the A division can fight the enemy to the last man.

In order to meet the 100,000 devils in Shanxi, the devils of these three divisions have no choice but to continue to attack Niangzi Pass.

Or that Okamura Ninji had no choice, and it was even possible to increase the number of troops to Niangziguan.

At present, among the major military regions of the Eighth Route Army, only the Eighth Route Army of the Southeastern Shanxi Military Region and the Northwest Military Region of Shanxi Province have combat experience in large corps.

Guerrilla warfare is certainly a good tactic, but in order to achieve ultimate victory, the troops must eventually change to large corps operations.

This time, there is this opportunity for the Jizhong Military Region to accumulate to fight big battles and large corps operations, and the chief will naturally not let it go.

"Yes!"

The chief of staff immediately took out a pen and paper and began to prepare a telegram.

The chiefs have always been vigorous in fighting, and once a decision is made, it will be immediately carried out by the troops.

The chief of staff drafted two telegrams, one to the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region and the other to Li Yunlong.

After reading it, the chief nodded, signed his name with a pen, and handed it to the telegraph operator.

……

Cai Dong Village.

The command of the new 1st regiment.

"Regiment commander, the headquarters has agreed, after the brother troops of the Jizhong Military Region are assembled, they will go to Niangzi Pass, and together with the independent regiment, they will flank the devils who attack Niangzi Pass."

"From now on, the Jizhong Military Region is nominally under your command..."

Chief of Staff Wang Dehou said as he handed the telegram in his hand to Li Yunlong.

Li Yunlong took the telegram and looked at it, and his eyes couldn't help but light up slightly.

The rumbling artillery sound was heard in the front, and the artillery units of the new regiment were again firing at the positions of the fifth division.

Today is already the third day of the attack of the new regiment on the positions of the 5th Division.

In addition to the five positions captured by the tanks and infantry of the new regiment on the first day, the positions of the fifth division were not captured on the second and third days.

This is Li Yunlong's strategy to delay the army.

Let the devils mistakenly think that with the help of tunnels and anti-slope fortifications, they can block the attack of the Eighth Route Army.

The tunnels and anti-slope fortifications are indeed powerful, which can greatly make up for the firepower advantage of the devils and the Eighth Route Army, and pull the casualty ratio of both sides to 1 to 1.

If Li Yunlong is willing to fill it with his human life, with the firepower advantage of tanks, Spitfire tanks, flamethrowers, and infantry, he can also capture the tunnels and anticline positions occupied by these devils.

But the casualties of the Eighth Route Army and the devils were about 1 to 1.

This is a loss-making business, and Li Yunlong will definitely not do it.

Zhao Gang on the side was also a little surprised.

The head of the headquarters agreed that the brother troops of the Jizhong Military Region and the independent regiment would flank Niangzi Pass, which was expected by Zhao Gang.

But Zhao Gang didn't expect the head of the headquarters to agree so quickly, and without much thought, he agreed to Li Yunlong's request.

Li Yunlong looked at Wang Dehou and ordered: "Chief of Staff, let the Ministry of Communications immediately get in touch with the Jizhong Military Region Headquarters, and ask them to immediately assemble the main force and choose a location to prepare to receive airdrop supplies." ”

"Yes, Captain!"

Wang Dehou turned around and walked towards the Ministry of Communications.

Looking at the back of Wang Dehou leaving, Zhao Gang turned his head to look at Li Yunlong: "Lao Li, how many airdrop supplies are you going to call for the Jizhong Military Region?" ”

Li Yunlong poked his palm, his eyes narrowed slightly.

"It's not easy for the brother troops of the Jizhong Military Region, let's give more."

Don't look at the fact that the Jizhong Military Region has 60,000 or 70,000 main forces and hundreds of thousands of militiamen, but in the case of frontal combat, it is difficult for even a full B division of the Japanese army to be defeated.

The main reason is that the fraternal units of the Jizhong Military Region are poorly equipped, their ammunition is even more pitiful, and they lack experience in fighting big battles.

Zhao Gang nodded: "Since the brother troops of the Jizhong Military Region are under our command, then we really can't be stingy." ”

"What's under our command?" Li Yunlong pretended to be displeased, "That's under my command Li Yunlong, what does it have to do with your political commissar Zhao?" ”

Zhao Gang raised his eyebrows: "Then I'll go?" ”

The dog thing started to rattle again, so he pretended to go outside.

"Don't Lao Zhao." Li Yunlong had a smile on his face, "Our old Li is just joking." ”

Looking at the smile on Li Yunlong's face, Zhao Gang knew that Grand Master Li must have even thought about cracking the devil's pit and anticline tactics.

Zhao Gang was speechless for a moment, this kid has been sad for the past two days, and he can pretend to be quite good.

Now the horse's feet are exposed, right?

Li Yunlong's expression was serious, and he said: "The wartime supply provided by Boss Chen's side only airdrops ammunition and canned food, including bullets, shells, grenades, explosives and various cans, and does not airdrop weapons. ”

Zhao Gang nodded: "The ammunition and canned food must be airdropped to the Jizhong Military Region, if only there were some heavy weapons." ”

"And..."

"If the Jizhong Military Region is also under your command, does the steel helmet also have to be arranged for the brother troops of the Jizhong Military Region?"

Now Boss Chen's business has changed again, and even the troops nominally under the command of Li Yunlong can get steel helmets.

It is said that the arsenal on Boss Chen's side has increased the production of steel helmets.

But.

In order to prevent Li Yunlong from getting stuck in the BUG, the premise is that Li Yunlong is nominally in command, and the troops of the Eighth Route Army who really go to the front line to fight the devils can obtain steel helmets.

Brother troops who don't fight devils, even if Li Yunlong is in command, Boss Chen will not give steel helmets.

Otherwise, Li Yunlong discussed with the headquarters and let all the troops of the Eighth Route Army take turns under Li Yunlong's nominal command, and it would not be long before the main force of the hundreds of thousands of Eighth Route Army and hundreds of thousands of militiamen were all equipped with steel helmets.

As we all know, Li Yunlong's kid has a hand in card BUG.

"Lao Zhao, we Lao Li won't be happy if you say this." Li Yunlong raised his eyebrows as Zhao Gang learned, "What do you mean by being under my command, we are partners, and the brother troops of the Jizhong Military Region are under our command." ”

"Let's get down to business." Zhao Gang didn't have a good breath and said, "Can you kid be serious?" ”

Li Yunlong smiled: "Don't worry, these old Li has already thought about it just now, I am ready to apply for 5 million rounds of ammunition, 300,000 grenades, 70,000 steel helmets, 50,000 rounds of 75 mm, 70 mm, 60 mm, 82 mm shells for airdrop supplies, and 200 Type 92 heavy machine guns, 600 Type 96 light machine guns, explosives and canned food Boss Chen looked at it." ”

The guns of the Jizhong Military Region basically have some of them, such as the weapons of the Japanese army, the weapons of the national army, and even a lot of earthen guns and artillery made in Hanyang.

Therefore, the caliber of bullets will be airdropped in each caliber, but the artillery equipped by the Jizhong Military Region is mainly the 75-mm mountain artillery, the 70-mm Type 92 infantry gun, and the 60-mm mortar and 82-mm mortar allocated by the headquarters.

Zhao Gang was slightly surprised: "Bullets, grenades and shells Boss Chen will definitely give them, but these 800 machine guns, are you going to ask Boss Chen for advance?" ”

"It's not an advance!" Li Yunlong waved his hand and said, "You forgot our plane, we bombed the devils around Taiyuan last time, and we haven't settled the bill yet." ”

"Just take the price code of these more than 4,000 devils to support the brother troops of the Jizhong Military Region."

Zhao Gang nodded, with a look of sudden realization on his face, with the quota of more than 4,000 devils, including more than 1,000 devils of the A division, for 800 machine guns, Boss Chen's side should agree.

As Zhao Gang, who has partnered with Li Yunlong for two years, he naturally knows Li Yunlong very well.

Because he was poor and afraid before, Li Yunlong had a kind of Shanxi businessman's strength in his bones.

But Li Yunlong's picking is also time-splitting.

Take this battle as an example, the quota of more than 4,000 devils, Li Yunlong generously gave the brother troops of the Jizhong Military Region.

First, it is to support fraternal units and increase their combat effectiveness.

The second is to make a fortune, if you can eat the three devil divisions in Niangzi Pass, it will not be 4,000 devils, but 45,000 devils.

Moreover, there are three lieutenant generals' division commanders' business prices.

With a rate of return of more than 10 times, Li Yunlong will be reluctant to give up the quota of more than 4,000 devils?

Not long after, Wang Dehou returned to the regiment headquarters with a telegram in his hand, and reported to Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang: "Regiment commander, political commissar, the communications department has made contact with the Jizhong Military Region and asked if there are any other orders from our side. ”

Li Yunlong nodded, thought about it carefully, and said: "Let the Jizhong Military Region Command make its own battle plan, assemble the main force and receive airdrop supplies within seven days, and rush to Niangzi Pass, and present an encirclement posture with the independent regiment against the three divisions of the devil, and the airdrop supply list is as follows......"

Li Yunlong said while Wang Dehou recorded.

After Wang Dehou finished writing down the number of airdropped supplies, Zhao Gang suddenly said: "I remember that last time in the Jizhong Military Region, more than 1,000 military horses of a cavalry wing of the Japanese army were captured, right?" ”

Li Yunlong thought for a while: "There is such a thing. ”

Zhao Gang smiled slightly, and said: "I don't think it's better to do a good thing to the end, send the Buddha to the west, and by the way, apply for cavalry equipment for 1,500 people in the Jizhong Military Region, including the M1 carbine, M3 submachine gun and Yunlong knife of the No. 1500 cavalry, and ask Boss Chen for advance." ”

Although more than 1,300 military horses were captured by the Jizhong Military Region last time, most of the weapons and equipment of the 26th Wing of the Devil Cavalry were blown up by napalm and aerial bombs.

Therefore, Zhao Gang estimated that the Jizhong Military Region would make trouble with a cavalry regiment, but there was no equipment to take advantage of.

Li Yunlong thought carefully about the rate of return of the battle of Niangziguan, and felt that he would not lose money, so he nodded and said: "Okay old Zhao, listen to you, and then advance 1,500 cavalry equipment to the cavalry of the brother troops of the Jizhong Military Region." ”

At that moment, Li Yunlong asked Wang Dehou to add the equipment of the cavalry to the telegram.

After that, Li Yunlong signed his name and asked the telegraph soldiers to immediately send it to the Jizhong Military Region.
