Chapter 206 Two artillery regiments!
After making up his mind, the brigade commander personally drew up a telegram and asked the telegraph operator to send it to the headquarters immediately.

In Wangjiayu Village, the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army.

The boss, the chief of staff and the division commander are staring at the map and discussing.

For the boss and the chief of staff, they have to coordinate the overall situation and consider things from the overall situation.

At this time, not only the southeast of Shanxi, but also the 120th Division of Northwest Shanxi and the Eighth Route Army of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region were also attacking the devils.

"Report to the chief, urgent call from the 386th brigade!"

A young telegraph operator at the headquarters held the telegram and walked over to give a military salute.

It was the teacher who received the telegram from the telegraph operator, picked it up and smiled after reading the telegram: "Li Yunlong, this kid, really can't be idle."

The boss raised his head, with a surprised tone: "Chen Geng said in the telegram that Li Yunlong is messing around again, right?"

"That's not true." The teacher said with a smile, "Chen wants to ask the headquarters to set up a stage and let Li Yunlong sing a play."

"Singing opera?" The chief of staff laughed, "Li Yunlong has changed his career as an actor? Is he singing Sichuan opera or Beijing opera?"

The division commander smiled and said: "Li Yunlong wants to apply to the headquarters to delay the time for the 385th and 386th brigades to capture Liao County and Yushe County. He led a new regiment to deal with the Japanese reinforcements from Yangquan. If he wins this battle, Li Yunlong will get Aid of 15 tons of medicines."

15 tons of medicine?
The boss and the chief of staff looked at each other, seeing deep surprise in each other's eyes, both chiefs were breathing a little short of breath.

Due to the long-term blockade of the base area by the Japanese army, it was difficult for military supplies such as food, ammunition and medicine to enter the base area.

Just like weapons and ammunition, medicines are the most scarce military supplies of the Eighth Route Army at this time. In this Hundred Regiments War, the Eighth Route Army also suffered a lot of casualties. Due to the shortage of medicines, many army doctors even used herbal medicine to treat wounded soldiers.

"My opinion is that it's worth the risk for 15 tons of medicine."

The chief of staff narrowed his eyes. He was always more optimistic about Li Yunlong, so he took the lead in expressing his support.

Although the Japanese army in a regiment is very powerful, Li Yunlong and his Xinyi regiment are not vegetarians.

More than one Japanese regiment was defeated by Li Yunlong, and even the Black Island cavalry regiment was wiped out by Li Yunlong.

The boss looked up at the teacher, and the teacher nodded: "I agree with the chief of staff, Li Yunlong is better than a monkey when he sticks his hair on, and he has the confidence to fight and win."

The boss has a vigorous and resolute character. After making up his mind, he said firmly: "Well, chief of staff, you should immediately send a telegram to the 386 brigade, saying that the headquarters and the division department agreed to set up a stage for Li Yunlong to sing, and asked Li Yunlong to definitely Sing the play for me."

"Yes!" The chief of staff quickly drew up a telegram and handed it over to the telegraph operator to send out.

……

As the reserve team for the Yuliao battle, the Xinyi Regiment was on standby a few kilometers away from Yushe County.

Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang, who left the brigade headquarters, were studying the marching route of the devil's reinforcements.

Not long after, the communications soldier of the brigade headquarters ran into the yard, ran up to Li Yunlong, and saluted with a snap.

"Commander Li, the brigade commander asked me to inform you that the headquarters has agreed to your combat request."

"The boss asked Li Yunlong to sing this play beautifully!"

"Captain Cao of the Artillery Regiment of the brigade led 20 mountain cannons to cooperate with the troops."

When Li Yunlong heard the words, his expression became solemn, and he returned a military salute: "Please go back and report to the brigade commander, and say that Li Yunlong must sing this play beautifully, and he will never embarrass the brigade commander!"

Immediately, the communications soldier of the brigade turned around and left. Seeing the back of the communications soldier go away, Li Yunlong grinned slightly, and then quickly returned to his stern expression.

Taking a deep breath, he suddenly shouted: "Pass my order, the whole group gathers!"

Less than 10 seconds after the voice was spoken, the trumpeter of the regiment headquarters blew loudly with the rallying horn.

As the assembly number sounded, the commanders and fighters of the new regiment began to quickly gather in companies and platoons.

Zhang Dabiao and other battalion commanders and company commanders directly under the regiment also rushed to the regiment headquarters immediately. When the assembly call sounded, it must be a combat mission.

Zhao Gang smiled: "Old Li, you still have to see far. If our regiment goes to attack the city, we will definitely not be able to win such a big battle."

"Of course." Li Yunlong said proudly, "Our old Li wants to make a fortune, who can stop me?"

Zhao Gang said: "The question now is, which way will the devils from Yangquan go?"

"Come and see, Lao Zhao." Li Yunlong pointed to the map and said, "There are only two ways for the devils to rush to aid Liao County and Yushe. Either take the train and go south from the Baijin Railway, or come from Pingding, Xiyang, and Heshun along the road. , At this time, there is a battle on the Baijin Railway, and it is impossible to take the train, so the devil will definitely go along the road."

Zhao Gang looked thoughtful, and said, "It makes sense, then we must rush to the north of Liao County at least before tonight."

Li Yunlong nodded: "That's right!"

During the conversation, a group of battalion and company commanders came to the courtyard where the regiment headquarters was located one after another, and looked at Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang one after another.

"Reporting to the head of the regiment, the troops have been assembled and can attack the county at any time!"

Zhang Dabiao glanced at the other battalion commanders and company commanders, his eyes were sharp and his fighting spirit was high.

The rest of the battalion and company commanders looked at Li Yunlong one after another, gearing up, their eyes flickering, implying expectation.

In the past, the new regiment played the main attack almost every time, but this time it was the reserve team, which is called the reserve team at best, or sitting on the bench at worst.

Listening to the rumbling cannons in front, the battalion and company commanders have long wanted to go. If they didn't kill the little devil, wouldn't it be a waste of such good equipment for the new regiment?
"Who the hell said we were going to attack the city?"

"You kid, can you take a long-term view, the hundreds of little devils in the county are enough for our new group to eat?"

Li Yunlong snorted coldly.

When the first sentence was said, all the battalion and company commanders felt a little pity.

no war...

But when Li Yunlong said the second sentence, everyone's darkened eyes lit up again like a light bulb being powered on.

It seems that there is a big battle to be fought!
Zhao Gang had been staring at the changes in their expressions, seeing this scene, he couldn't laugh or cry.

Who the fuck are these people?

After being scolded for a while, Zhang Dabiao felt very comfortable in his heart, and asked tentatively: "Leader, what do you mean?"

Li Yunlong's tone became serious: "Received the information, more than half an hour ago, the devil troops to reinforce Liao County and Yushe had already set off from Yangquan, and the strength was a regiment."

"The task of our new regiment is to go to the north of Liao County to stop this devil's unit."

"But I don't regard it as a blocking mission, what should I consider it as an annihilation mission."

"Think of this devil as a piece of fat on our lips!"

"This time, the 20 mountain artillery pieces of the brigade headquarters will cooperate with our regiment to fight. The mountain artillery battalion and other battalions will bring more shells for me."

"Hey...a total of 40 mountain cannons, one mountain cannon regiment plus more than 40 mortars, this time I want to let the devil have a taste of being covered by artillery fire."

Li Yunlong's tone was full of sternness.

The brigade headquarters has 20 mountain artillery pieces, and the new regiment has 20 pieces of its own. In addition to the 60mm mortars equipped by each battalion, the total number of artillery pieces reaches 40 pieces, which is a full two artillery regiments!
Although 30 mortars were robbed by the brigade commander last time and 10 60mm mortars were removed, but with the addition of the previous ones, the new regiment now has more than 40 mortars, all of which are equipped with infantry battalions and cavalry battalions. The county brigade is equipped with an artillery company.

"Yes!" The battalion and company commanders responded suddenly, the smiles on their faces were almost from ear to ear.

Afterwards, Li Yunlong looked at Lu Yingjun, pointed to the map and said, "Your mission in the sword is still the same, start ahead of time to scout the terrain along the road from Liao County to Heshun and then to Xiyang."

Lu Yingjun followed Li Yunlong to look at the map, speaking confidently: "Yes, our Sword Squadron promises to complete the mission."

"be careful."

Li Yunlong looked satisfied.

"Thank you, Captain!"

The hulking Lu Yingjun gave a military salute, turned around and walked out.

Lu Yingjun is not as aloof as Kazuki Yamamoto, as long as it is the mission of the regiment leader, he will do anything. The terrain can determine the outcome of a battle, so the reconnaissance mission is also very important.

The ambush of the Japanese tank unit and the bombardment of the Taiyuan Airport were fought twice, because the Sword Squadron did a good job in reconnaissance missions, and the Xinyi Regiment was able to win the battle.

The head of Cao Sanlian came to join the Xinyi regiment with 20 mountain cannons.

The two of them were old comrades-in-arms of the Fourth Front Army and knew each other very well.

Cao Sanlian used to play cannons in the Red Army, and he was also a good gunner.

Most of the artillery and shells of the 386th Brigade Artillery Regiment were obtained by Li Yunlong. Cao Sanlian had no objection to cooperating with the new regiment, and was even happy.

At this time, the city wall of Yushe county had been blasted away by mountain cannons.

After transferring the 20 mountain cannons of the artillery regiment, if an emergency occurs, the brigade commander is not in vain, because he still has 10 mountain cannons combined by the two regiments of Ding Wei and Kong Jie.

Immediately, the Xinyi Regiment marched northward along the Yuliao Highway together with Cao Sanlian's artillery regiment.

The reinforced concrete stronghold on the Yuliao Highway was pulled out by Xinyituan a few months ago, and the devils never repaired it.

The troops were unimpeded, all the way to the north.

The devil's stronghold on the Heliao Highway was also pulled out by a regiment of the 385th Brigade and the first column of the [-]th Brigade with the division's mountain artillery.

After passing Liaoxian County, about 40 kilometers ahead is Heshun County.

Therefore, Li Yunlong could only attack the devil reinforcements on the Heliao Highway.

The distance between Yangquan and Liao County is 120 kilometers, and it will take two days for the devils to arrive. Li Yunlong has plenty of time.

Along the way, there were guerrillas who harassed us with mine warfare and sparrow warfare, and the devils came even more slowly.

The 385th brigade received an order to delay the capture of the county seat.

At this time, the battle of the 385 brigade to attack Liao County continued.

Putting the troops ten kilometers north of Liao County, Lu Yingjun led the Sword Squadron to return from the reconnaissance mission.

Then Li Yunlong reconnaissance Heliao Highway together with the Sword Squadron.

After the reconnaissance was over, Li Yunlong had the bottom line in his mind, and called the battalion company commanders, Zhao Gang, and Cao Sanlian together to perfect the battle plan.
