The Sword of Swords is a Guard for Kong Jie

Chapter 1356: Strong forces join forces (second update)

As Li Yunlong's former and future partner, Zhao Gang hoped from the bottom of his heart that he would change some of his bad temper. Unexpectedly, staying at the Yi Zhong base in the past two years had really made him change a lot. After the shock, he became excited.

He smiled and replied: "Lao Li..."

"I didn't expect that the chief would transfer me to the back detachment and continue to partner with you..."

"I heard that you and Huang Yu played well in the Northeast..."

"Last winter's attack on the railway line prevented the Kwantung Army from moving troops south to reinforce the North China Front for several months, buying the Yizhong base a lot of time to prepare for war."

"After the beginning of spring, not only did the people in the Jinzhou defense area of ​​the Kwantung Army panic, but they also captured Chaoyang, annihilated more than 10,000 Kwantung Army troops in a row, and even built base areas..."

"If the head of the headquarters hadn't told me these things personally, I wouldn't be able to believe that these were all done by your kid..."

"It really impressed me..."

After hearing the praise from his old partner, Li Yunlong showed a proud expression on his face and answered confidently: "That's...you don't even know who I am, Li Yunlong..."

"Although he was a deputy commander in the Yi Zhong base, he also single-handedly commanded more than 10,000 main troops in combat..."

"That kid Huang Yu is even more incredible. When he served as deputy chief of staff in the Yi Zhong Base Area, he commanded several battles involving more than 10,000 people."

"With him as my deputy, it will be no problem to destroy more than 10,000 Kwantung Army..."

Although Zhao Gang had not met Huang Yu a few times, he was very impressed by Huang Yu.

When Kong Jie was still the leader of the independent regiment in northwest Shanxi, Huang Yu was his guard platoon leader. Li Yunlong ran to Kong Jie more than once, trying to poach Huang Yu away, and was even willing to take out mortars. As a result, everyone returned disappointed...

Unexpectedly, the two people went back and forth and finally got together.

He quickly asked: "Where is Huang Yu..."

"You won't leave him at the headquarters and go to the mountains to pick me up..."

When Huang Yu was mentioned, the smile on Li Yunlong's face was quickly replaced by solemnity, and he replied seriously: "This kid is not here, and he has a more important task to perform... maybe he will be handed over there..."

Zhao Gang thought of something when he thought of the crisis the northbound detachment was currently facing. He frowned and asked with a worried look on his face: "He went to Jinzhou?"

Li Yunlong nodded: "I didn't agree with him going there."

"But the pressure faced by Yituan in Jinzhou is really too great."

"We have just smashed the encirclement and suppression campaign by three main regiments of the Kwantung Army. Before the troops could be replenished, they were immediately engaged in a mopping up campaign by one of the main divisions of the Kwantung Army."

"There are only two people on the Jinzhou front line, Wei Dayong and Duan Peng. They will definitely not be able to hold on."

"Huang Yu is also the leader of the first regiment of our northward detachment. He insists on going over to take charge of the overall situation. I have no reason to disagree."

"And when the enemy is strong and we are weak, I believe that our northbound detachment, and only Huang Yu, can turn the tide, win this big sweep, and drag the main force of the Kwantung Army operating in Liaoning to the Jinzhou battlefield, giving them The main force of the detachment will establish a base in Chaoyang and try to buy as much time as possible to restore combat effectiveness. "

"The latest battle report I received before I came to pick you up showed that... the Kwantung Army dispatched two reinforced regiments to encircle and suppress their left-behind troops hiding in the mountains, and two reinforced regiments plus a mixed regiment to encircle and suppress the maneuvers outside the mountains. Troops, Huang Yu personally commanded two assault companies to take the initiative in the mountains and attack the mines controlled by the Kwantung Army, hoping to recruit some new soldiers from the rescued workers to supplement the losses of the troops. "

"Otherwise, with just the meager strength of the first battalion, the Kwantung Army can end the battle very quickly." "The Chaoyang Base Area will then face encirclement and suppression by at least one main division of the Kwantung Army."

"When the newly expanded main force has not fully formed combat effectiveness, we are definitely not the main opponent of the Kwantung Army. We will have to give up the base area we established in Chaoyang with great difficulty and return to the mountains to fight guerrillas."

"So the combat pressure Huang Yu is facing now should be the greatest among all the people in the northward detachment."

"I've been out for almost three days, and I don't know what their condition is now."

"I suggest that we take the mountain road and return to Chaoyang immediately."

"While the Kwantung Army's attention is all focused on the Jinzhou battlefield, they march all the way back to kill them."

Zhao Gang nodded and replied: "I have no problem...I can leave at any time..."

"It just so happens that I have brought many cadres from the pass who are good at fighting guerrilla warfare in the mountains. Huang Yu cannot bear the pressure on the battlefield in Jinzhou alone."

"Return to the Chaoyang base as soon as possible, mobilize troops to reinforce the Jinzhou battlefield, and find a way to contact Huang Yu to replenish their health."

"Even if there are no troops to reinforce Jinzhou for the time being, just transfer a few cadres there."

"Anyway, Huang Yu cannot be allowed to fight alone on the Jinzhou battlefield."

"If conditions permit, we will find ways to provoke some wars in other places to further distract the Liaoning Kwantung Army's attention and strength and reduce Huang Yu's combat pressure."

Li Yunlong smiled bitterly and replied helplessly: "Just reopen the battlefield..."

"Old Zhao, you don't know the difficulties the northbound detachment is currently facing."

"It seems that the troops are strong and the horses are strong. They have turned the Jinzhou defense area upside down, captured Chaoyang City, and wiped out more than 10,000 Kwantung troops. In fact, the northbound detachment has become an empty shell. Otherwise, I would not be so anxious. Waiting for you to take office.”

"Excluding the regiment that fought on the Jinzhou battlefield, the total number of the 23rd regiment and the troops directly under the detachment remaining in the base area is only more than 1,300 people, including more than 200 seriously injured people."

"If the Kwantung Army mobilizes a reinforced unit to attack the base area, we may have difficulty even resisting them. Otherwise, we would not let a regiment fight to the death on the Jinzhou battlefield to hold back the main force of the Kwantung Army."

"The only thing that makes me happy is that after we occupied Chaoyang, our troops captured thousands of puppet Manchurian troops."

"These people are all trained by the Kwantung Army, and their combat effectiveness is pretty good."

"The only problem is that he has been a dog for the Japanese for too long, he has no backbone, and he cannot integrate into our Eighth Route Army."

"After you come, your first task is to do a good job in the ideological work of these prisoners, encourage them to join our Eighth Route Army, integrate into our Eighth Route Army, and become true Eighth Route Army soldiers."

"By doing this, the total strength of the northbound detachment can be expanded to more than 5,000 people within ten days."

"Coupled with the new recruits recruited from various recruitment points in the base area, we can expand the northward detachment to 10,000 people without any problem."

Zhao Gang's greatest ability is to do ideological work in the army. He accepted the task without hesitation and confidently answered: "As long as those captured puppet Manchurian soldiers still regard themselves as Chinese, I guarantee that they will sincerely join the Eighth Route Army. Be united with our Eighth Route Army and regain the courage to fight against the Japanese."
