I am helping

Chapter 381 Prepared!

Li Yunlong soon rode back to Yangcun.

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

However, Li Yunlong felt that he was full of energy, without the slightest fatigue.

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

Hearing the neighing of the military horse, Zhao Gang hurried out from the regiment's gate to meet him. 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. If the head of the headquarters does not agree, Li Yunlong's expression at this time must be sullen.

"Yes, I agree!"

With a smile on the corner of Li Yunlong's mouth, he looked left and right: "Let's talk about it after entering the regiment headquarters."

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

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

The two of them spent half a day together, and finally came to a conclusion, which was quite feasible.

Then Li Yunlong approached Chen Feng, and negotiated the price of laying down Taiyuan, and then went to the brigade 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 morning, and finally decided on the battle plan. Let us lead the Taihang 3rd Column to attack Taiyuan northward, division commander. Lead the 2nd Taihang Column southward to attack the 37th Division, and the brigade commander lead the 1st Taihang Column northward to attack the 2nd Guards Division."

"There are also brothers in other military regions who will attack the enemy from their respective defense zones."

When Zhao Gang heard this, his tone was excited: "From this point of view, this is a big battle bigger than the Hundred Regiments War!"

Although the brothers in other military regions are not as rich as the Taixing Military Region.

However, the main force and the militia combined are almost 30. With so many troops attacking the enemy at the same time, it is enough for a devil to drink a pot.

"That's right!" Li Yunlong nodded.

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

Order them to immediately go to Yangcun for a meeting.

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

Each attack group has 4 infantry regiments, but the artillery unit has lost the artillery regiment of the brigade this time, and only the artillery battalion and headquarters of the new regiment are directly under the howitzer regiment.

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

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

Even the new regiment has added more than 2000 people, and the total strength is only a lot more than last time.

If you add the militia, there are more than 5 people in total.

It's just that only a few militiamen are equipped with one gun, so the militiamen generally do not directly participate in the battle, but are responsible for logistics such as delivering food, ammunition, and the wounded.

Li Yunlong only needs to give orders to Ding Wei, Kong Jie and Cheng Shifa, and then they will give orders to the regiments.

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

This was reported by Li Yunlong to his superiors before.

It's usually fine, since the last time he led the Taihang column to fight, Li Yunlong found that there were seriously insufficient personnel around him.

The guards, Lu Yingjun, and Liu Dali were working as combat staff officers.

And now the entire new regiment has more than 8000 people, and Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang really can't manage so many people.

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

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

Every time Wang Dehou received strange news of success at the headquarters, among the combat staff at the headquarters, he was often the first to guess that it was the fat staff officer Li Yunlong did.

"Xing Zhiguo, isn't he the head of the New Fifth Regiment?" Zhao Gang didn't have much to say when Wang Dehou came to be the chief of staff of the New First Regiment. However, isn't Xing Zhiguo the head of the new regiment?

Li Yunlong said: "That's right, he is also an old comrade in arms of our Fourth Front Army. This is an order from the headquarters."

The New Fifth Regiment was a basic regiment before, and it fought well in the last blocking battle. Now it has increased equipment and soldiers, and has properly become the main regiment.

However, the headquarters obviously paid more attention to the development of Xinyituan.

Not only did the combat staff officer of the headquarters be assigned to Li Yunlong as the chief of staff, but also the head of the main force regiment was assigned to him as the deputy head.

However, although it seems that Xing Zhiguo's position has declined on the surface, the current Xinyi Regiment is almost the size of a division, and it is also a mechanist.

From this point of view, when Xing Zhiguo became the deputy head of the Xinyi Regiment, he was actually living the life of the deputy head of the Mechanic Division.

In fact, it has been promoted.

Moreover, Xing Zhiguo himself has no objection to the order from the headquarters.

Half a month ago, Chu Yunfei came to Xintuan, bringing 3000 Yuan and some gifts, expressing condolences on behalf of Yan Laoxi.

In fact, following Yan Laoxi's order, with Yan Laoxi's secret letter, he wanted to win over Li Yunlong.

Yan Laoxi's secret letter stated that as long as Li Yunlong could bring his group of troops to join the Jinsui Army, Li Yunlong would immediately become a division commander.

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

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

Li Yunlong lived the life of a teacher, so you, Chief Yan, can bribe Li Yunlong with the title of teacher?

After delivering the letter to Li Yunlong, Chu Yunfei said goodbye the next day. When sending Chu Yunfei away, Li Yunlong urged Chu Yunfei not to reveal the strength of the new regiment.

……

About an hour later, Kong Jie, Ding Wei and Cheng Shifa arrived at Yangcun successively.

"Commander, is there another big move?"

The last person to enter the door was Cheng Shifa. As soon as he entered the door, he couldn't wait to ask Li Yunlong.

After preparing for the big moves twice, they failed to make a big move. Not only Li Yunlong was very depressed, but also the team leaders and the commanders and fighters below were very depressed.

For this battle, all the troops prepared for more than a month, but the trousers were all taken off, and the devils were scared, so they dare not fight us all the way?

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

Although the current 772 Regiment is not as good as the New First Regiment, New Second Regiment, and Independent Regiment, it is still the main force in the ranks.

"Yes, another big move!"

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

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

"What did you say, regain Taiyuan?"

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

His face was full of shock and disbelief.

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

Afterwards, the expressions of the three of them changed surprisingly unanimously, from shock and disbelief to excitement at the same time.

Playing Taiyuan was enjoyable, and after a little thought, they must know that this was not decided by Li Yunlong with a slap on the head. Li Yunlong did not have such great power, but an order from the headquarters.

Li Yunlong looked around with a satisfied expression, and finally his eyes fell on the map on the table:
"For the time being, only a few of us know about this mission, so as not to leak information."

"After you go back, order the ministries to prepare dry food for at least three days, and set off tomorrow night. Our various attack groups will gather at Chujia Village, 3 kilometers away from Taiyuan."

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

Prepare dry food and eat it, and eat new dry food after eating. Each department prepares dry food every day and waits for orders.

It is already the first ten days of May, and the weather is getting hotter. If you prepare too much dry food, it will definitely break.

However, Li Yunlong does not have to worry about food for the soldiers, because there are more than 2 militiamen in charge of logistics and sufficient food preparations.

Li Yunlong continued: "I will deploy the siege order when we arrive at Chu Family Village."

Everyone nodded, no comments.

Next, the three of them asked Li Yunlong about the marching routes and logistical support of each attacking group.

The three people who got the answer were satisfied and left Yangcun with great energy.

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

I saw a devil's reconnaissance plane flying at low altitude, flying north without looking back.

Zhao Gang said: "The devil's reconnaissance planes frequently come in and out of the base area these days. Thanks to the fact that we received all the weapons, ammunition and food in the middle of last month, otherwise Yangcun Airport may be discovered by the devil."

Li Yunlong cursed and said: "Damn it, it's quite arrogant, if you dare to fly a little lower, I'll see labor and capital beat it down."

Although the Machine Cannon Battalion was not stationed in Yangcun, there were several machine guns in the regiment headquarters, together with a few guns from the 1st Battalion's artillery company, they could really shoot down the Devil's reconnaissance plane.

Zhao Gang's tone was weird: "However, Yoshio Shinozuka, this old devil, is worried about our Eighth Route Army. He sent reconnaissance planes to carry out reconnaissance every day. According to the information provided by Chen Feng's brother, the Japanese army attacked the Central Army in Zhongtiao Mountain this time. Two flying teams and one flying brigade were dispatched, and about 2 planes were launched at the two airports of Yuncheng and Xinxiang. It would be great if these two airports could be eliminated.”

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

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

The whip is beyond reach.

Zhao Gang said solemnly: "In this way, we will be under a lot of pressure to attack Taiyuan. 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 already prepared."

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

Zhao Gang was overjoyed, and hurriedly asked, "How many cannons have you replaced?"

"It's shocking to say that, it's a total of 300!" Li Yunlong said in a bold tone, "plus 30 rounds of 20mm machine shells, hmph, it's hard to say who will drink a pot by then."

"300 machine guns? 30 machine gun shells!?" Zhao Gang couldn't help taking a breath, his tone full of surprise, "Old Li, our anti-aircraft firepower is a bit scary."
