Chapter 536 Arrangement before the battle!

Northwest Shanxi.

Dagu Town.

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

Report to Li Yunlong Hui: "Regimental Commander, there is an urgent call from the headquarters. The devils in Taiyuan have moved, and the troops of the three divisions are heading north."

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

After reading the telegram, Li Yunlong sneered and said, "I've predicted it a long time ago. The old devil Neji Okamura is quite anxious."

The tens of thousands of troops of the three divisions marched mightily northward, and they must have been unable to hide from the intelligence network of the Eighth Route Army.

As soon as the devils were dispatched, the headquarters received the information, and then passed the information to the new regiment.

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

"Also, the New Second Regiment and the Independent Regiment have already responded, and the common people in their two defense areas are already gathering towards the Yellow River ferry. The common people will carry their belongings and cross the river in batches."

Li Yunlong nodded: "The devils lost their planes, and the common people should be able to cross the river safely, but the common people must be allowed to cross the river faster."

The new second regiment and the independent regiment each have to face the attacks of the two second-line divisions, and the pressure is very high.

Desperate to keep the devils out of the base area, so that the common people can cross the river smoothly.

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

With the strength of the new regiment now, Li Yunlong is really not afraid of going head-on with a Class A division.

What's more, this time the Japanese Army's Class A Division is the offensive side, while the Shinichi Regiment is the defensive side. If the strength of the two sides is similar, of course the defensive side will have the upper hand.

If the Japanese army dispatched a second-line division to attack the Xinyi regiment, if there were not more than two second-line divisions, they would not dare to come.

Li Yunlong said again: "In addition, notify the battalion commanders to hold a meeting at the regiment headquarters immediately."

"Yes!"

Wang Dehou straightened his body, turned around and walked out.

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

Li Yunlong smiled and said, "Brother Chen, our Xinyi Regiment will hold a pre-war military meeting in the afternoon, and you will join us, so please give us some advice."

Chen Feng put the gun in the holster, and then said: "It's fine to attend the meeting, but it's fine to make comments, and I won't cause trouble for your group."

He knew Li Yunlong very well, but Li Yunlong didn't know it.

How could a commander like Li Yunlong, who doesn't like military democracy very much, listen to other people's dictates?
Li Yunlong smiled and said: "Brother Chen is being modest, then I will call you when the meeting is held."

Of course Li Yunlong didn't like other people's different opinions, but Chen Feng was different, he really wanted to hear Chen Feng's opinion.

Of course, whether to adopt it in the end is another matter.

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

……

in the afternoon.

The 22 battalion commanders of the Xinyi Regiment gathered at the Xinyi Regiment headquarters in Dagu Town.

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

This is almost all the troops of the new regiment.

There are a total of more than 2 people, another 4 bases of ammunition, and battlefield airdrops that can be called at any time.

If you add the villagers' soldiers, there are more than 4 people in total. However, the militias generally do not participate in the battle, but are responsible for logistics and organizing the evacuation of ordinary people.

In addition to training, militiamen have to participate in farm work, and only soldiers who become the main force of the new regiment will be out of production.

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

The army has fought guerrilla warfare for so many years, and it needs a process to evolve into a large corps.

However, after fighting a few battles, the commanders and fighters of the new regiment became more and more adapted to the rhythm of the large regiment's operations.

After all, in a large army battle, you can kill tens of thousands of devils at once, but in a small-scale ambush, you can kill one or two hundred devils.

In the courtyard of the regiment headquarters, 22 battalion commanders sat on a bench.

Li Yunlong was sitting opposite, with Zhao Gang, Xing Zhiguo, and Chen Feng making soy sauce beside him.

Several divisional battalion commanders didn't know Chen Feng yet, and they looked at Chen Feng with surprise on their faces.

Almost all the battalion commanders from southeast Shanxi knew Chen Feng, but the battalion commanders sent by the headquarters like Yao Shangwen and Yang Jiuping had only heard of Chen Feng, but had never met him.

Li Yunlong glanced at the crowd and said: "Some of you don't know the boss next to me. Let me introduce you. This is Boss Chen who has been providing weapons and ammunition to our new regiment. This time the anti-sweeping operation , Boss Chen has come to our Xinyi Regiment as a military advisor!"

Immediately afterwards, 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 22 battalion commanders.

After the applause ended, Li Yunlong said: "This time for our anti-sweeping operation, Advisor Chen will provide us with wartime airdrops, that is to say, we can open up this anti-sweeping operation!"

When the battalion commanders heard the words, their eyes suddenly became fiery.

The 5 base ammunition can be replenished by airdrop at any time after shooting.

The battalion commander of the third division stood up and cupped his hands to Chen Feng: "Thank you, Consultant Chen, I, Yang Jiuping, have never fought such a battle for wealth in eight lifetimes!"

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

Li Yunlong quickly said: "You motherfuckers, don't be beautiful first, Advisor Chen will solve the problem of ammunition. With so much ammunition, if you still can't play well, I will scold you!"

All the battalion commanders were smiling, red and full of confidence.

The weapons and equipment are better than the devils, the ammunition is more abundant than the devils, and they are still on the defensive side. If they can't beat the devils, they might as well go home and coax the children.

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

Wang Dehou said: "The latest information from the headquarters shows that the devils from the two divisions gathered in Datong have also been dispatched."

Li Yunlong nodded with a solemn expression: "All the devils from the five divisions have been dispatched, and there are also 5 puppet troops, adding up to more than 2 people!"

Li Yunlong secretly admired the strategic vision of the head of the headquarters. Fortunately, the headquarters sent the New Second Regiment and the Independent Regiment to Northwest Shanxi to establish a base.

Otherwise, with the new regiment alone, it really can't stop the attack of 5 divisions and 2 puppet troops.

Although the New Second Regiment and the Independent Regiment couldn't stop the attack of the four divisions, as long as they hold back the four divisions, they can buy time for the New First Regiment and the evacuated common people.

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

"The devils have assembled a large army and are menacing, but our Xinyi regiment is not intimidating!"

Li Yunlong glanced at everyone, with a domineering and harsh tone:

"This time, there are brothers from the New Second Regiment and the Independent Regiment to share the pressure for us."

“鬼子第21师团、第35师团会进攻新二团，第23、25师团会进攻独立团，而我们的对手是鬼子第10师团！”

Li Yunlong looked around, his tone became serious.

"Next, I will assign combat tasks."

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

"Dagu Town is defended by the first and second battalions, and Lijia Town is defended by the third and fourth battalions."

"There are also 9 small roads that can enter the base area. The first, second, and third battalions of the division will defend three small roads. The specific division of the small roads will be found after the meeting is over. Chief of Staff Wang."

The path is more dangerous, and a dark fort has been built, so it can be said that one man guards the gate and ten thousand men cannot open it.

A division battalion has no problem defending three lanes.

Now that roads have been built in the base area, the Japanese army can only take the road if they want to transport heavy firepower into the base area. Therefore, the main direction of the Japanese army's attack will be in the direction of Dagu Town and Lijia Town.

As for the three county towns, they gave up directly. Anyway, most of the people in the county towns have moved out, so they are three empty cities.

After the devils have withdrawn the army occupying the three county towns, the Xinyi regiment will take back the county towns and earn another wave of equipment and food. Wouldn't it be nice?
A group of battalion commanders took notes, and Li Yunlong continued: "The devils used to mop up our base areas, mainly hoarding them in Datong and Taiyuan. , so the devil’s logistics force will definitely transport supplies to the front along the road.”

"The sixth battalion and the seventh battalion in the division should jump to the outside line in advance, and after the battle starts, they will harass the devil's logistics supply line."

"Hey, good luck, you two can still make some money."

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

The two battalion commanders were Wang Fafa and Zhao Youliang, both graduated from the Anti-Japanese University, and were assigned to the Xinyi Regiment by the headquarters. Both of them liked the atmosphere of the Xinyi Regiment very much.

"However, after your two battalions jump to the outside line, don't use the radio unless it is absolutely necessary."

"The little devil has the means to detect the location of the radio station. Even if he wants to use the radio station to contact the regiment headquarters, he will transfer immediately after sending the telegram."

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

As for the fourth and fifth battalions of the division, Li Yunlong was used as a reserve team.

After assigning combat missions to other units, Commander Li chuckled: "In the first battle in Xinzhou, the devil's plane was shot down by Advisor Chen's plane, so this anti-sweeping operation does not require air defense. Infantry battalion, I want to let the devils of Type A Division have a taste of the 20mm cannon."

Facing the devils from the Type A Division, Li Yunlong decided to be ruthless and directly fired at the devils' infantry with machine guns.

The corners of the battalion commanders' mouths turned up when they heard this, and their eyes were fierce.

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

Before the meeting adjourned, Zhao Gang instructed: "The 10th Division is one of the devil's Type A divisions and permanent divisions. Its combat effectiveness is extremely strong. Everyone must not have the idea of ​​​​underestimating the enemy. After returning to the camp, we must fully mobilize before the battle." Work with pre-war organizations."
