Chapter 321 How about we go together to apologize after the war?

(Water, don’t)

“Captain, urgent telegram from the brigade!”

Li Yunlong had just finished speaking when Hu Zi rushed into the regiment headquarters with a telegram.

“An urgent telegram? What’s going on? What happened?”

After listening to what Hu Zi said, Li Yunlong immediately stood up and took the telegram from Hu Zi.

Looking at the message on the telegram, Li Yunlong was stunned for a moment, then handed the telegram to Zhang Dabiao.

“Well, I was right, wasn’t I? Our brigade commander is also thinking of taking action against the 11th Brigade of the Japanese.”

The telegram sent from the brigade headquarters to the independent regiment was very simple, and its meaning was similar to that of the telegram from the vanguard regiment.

Just let Li Yunlong see for himself that if there is a chance, he can bite off a piece of meat from the Japanese 11th Brigade.

If Li Yunlong and others had made a decision and were sure that there was a chance to bite off a piece of meat from the Japanese 11th Brigade, they would immediately send a telegram to the brigade headquarters, and then the brigade headquarters would cooperate with the actions of the four regiments.

“Hiss, I didn’t expect that the brigade commander actually wanted to borrow troops from the Yizhong Military Region for us, and even borrowed two regiments of troops… It’s a big deal. If these two regiments come, then according to your idea, commander.

We can wait for the Japanese 11th Brigade to arrive, and then the troops of the Yi Zhong Military Region can attack the Japanese 11th Brigade from behind, cutting off its retreat route.

At that time, our independent regiment and the vanguard regiment will be responsible for launching an attack on the Japanese’s 11th Brigade, and the two regiments of the Wing Central Military District will only need to block the Japanese and prevent them from leaving.

In this way, maybe we really have a chance to completely wipe out the Japanese 11th Brigade.

Moreover, the brigade commander will ask other troops to cooperate with our operation this time, and let the troops in other areas create the illusion of troop movements to confuse the Japanese.

This will also help us share some of the pressure brought by the Japanese planes.

Good idea. “

Zhang Dabiao looked at the telegram in his hand and quickly analyzed how beneficial the battle plan sent by Brigade Commander Chen would be to them.

After listening to what Zhang Dabiao said, Li Yunlong’s expression changed slightly. Then he quickly took the telegram back and looked at it carefully.

Li Yunlong read quickly just now and only glanced at the first information in the telegram. After seeing that Brigade Commander Chen also wanted to attack the Japanese 11th Brigade, he gave the telegram to Zhang Dabiao.

I didn’t notice any other news at all.

At this moment, after Li Yunlong took the telegram and looked at the message on it, the smile on Li Yunlong’s face gradually disappeared.

“Captain, what’s wrong? Is there something wrong with the telegram?”

Seeing that Li Yunlong’s face looked a little strange, Zhang Dabiao asked with some confusion.

The information in the telegram sent by Brigade Commander Chen was very important to them and was of great help to them.

Since Li Yunlong wanted to take advantage of the Japanese 11th Brigade, the help from Brigade Commander Chen would be like timely assistance.

Since it is a timely help, Li Yunlong should be excited instead of having a stern face as if he had received a disciplinary notice.

Hearing Zhang Dabiao’s question, Li Yunlong looked at Zhang Dabiao with a complicated expression.

Afterwards, Li Yunlong continued to look through the telegram, feeling something was not right.

“Damn it, something bad has happened. The boss is most likely at the brigade headquarters!”

According to the telegram, Brigade Commander Chen not only had to borrow troops from the Yi Zhong Military Region, but also had to contact other military regions and ask them to cooperate with this battle and carry out large-scale troop mobilizations in their respective bases.

If it was just borrowing troops from the Yi Zhong Military Region, Li Yunlong would not have suspected that the boss was on the side of Brigade Commander Chen.

After all, Brigade Commander Chen has very good interpersonal relationships, and he himself is from the Central Red Army. The predecessor of the Yi Zhong Military Region is the 115th Division which was reorganized from the Central Red Army.

Then Brigade Commander Chen naturally has some connections in the Yi Zhong Military Region. Relying on those connections, it would not be difficult to persuade the Yi Zhong Military Region to send two regiments of troops to assist in the attack.

As for the subsequent operation of asking other military regions to mobilize troops to carry out large-scale troop movements in their respective bases to interfere with the Japanese’s vision, that was a bit wrong.

With such a large troop mobilization, no matter how influential Brigade Commander Chen is, it is impossible for him to convince the commanders of other military regions to cooperate with their four regiments in such a large-scale troop mobilization.

Large-scale troop movements at this time might disrupt the deployment of other military regions.

Those military district commanders may not agree.

If all they asked was the Shangdang Military Region to cooperate, then Li Yunlong would be able to believe it. After all, the Shangdang Military Region was the foundation of their 129th Division, and everyone was from the same division, so there would be no problem in cooperating.

But it’s different in other military regions.

If it is just simple cooperation, then the commanders of other military regions will definitely cooperate for the sake of Brigade Commander Chen.

The problem now is that if we want to attract the Japanese’s attention, we cannot simply mobilize a few troops and let them run around the base a few times.

The Japanese are not idiots and cannot be fooled so easily.

So they wanted to successfully attract the Japanese’s attention and help their four regiments share some of the pressure brought by the Japanese planes.

Then those military regions would have to carry out large-scale troop mobilizations, and they would have to carry out troop mobilizations in accordance with actual combat conditions.

Otherwise, you won’t be able to fool the Japanese at all.

However, when carrying out actual combat troop mobilization, it is very easy to cause accidental discharge of guns, and then the fake play would become real and a war with the Japanese would break out directly.

That would be a big trouble, especially if a war started prematurely when some military regions were not ready. It would inevitably disrupt some deployments of each military region and even directly interfere with the command of the headquarters.

In this case, the military district commanders may not necessarily agree to Brigade Commander Chen’s request.

This has nothing to do with face, it purely involves the life safety of tens of thousands of soldiers in various military regions!
But now the telegram sent by Brigadier General Chen said very confidently that as long as Li Yunlong and his men were fine, then Brigadier General Chen would immediately start arranging these matters and let other military regions cooperate. Even if other military regions were willing to cooperate with Brigadier General Chen in mobilizing troops, such a short time was not enough for the military region commanders to hold a meeting to discuss the matter.

Therefore, there is a great possibility that the boss is right next to Brigade Commander Chen, and the decision was made not by Brigade Commander Chen, but by the boss!
If this telegram was sent from the headquarters, or in the name of the boss, then the other military regions would definitely cooperate with Brigade Commander Chen’s actions as quickly as possible.

There is no need to hold a meeting to discuss it, and the task will be carried out immediately.

Only when the boss gives direct orders can the various military regions mobilize troops in a timely manner to cooperate with the combat operations of Li Yunlong and others.

But if the boss was next to Brigade Commander Chen, then it would be obvious that Brigade Commander Chen had already understood what methods Li Yunlong and Qin Yangming were planning to use to attack the Zhangzhuang stronghold.

If that’s the case, wouldn’t the bosses around Brigade Commander Chen be unaware of it?

“Hiss, how about asking Xiao Qin to come and apologize together?”

Thinking about the consequences after the boss knew about this, Li Yunlong immediately began to think about how the boss would punish him afterwards.

It has to be said that Li Yunlong has studied with Zhao Gang for a period of time and has achieved good results. He has even learned idioms such as “taking the blame on one’s shoulders” and “receiving punishment by shouldering a thorn stick”. He also knows what they mean and how to use them.

If Zhao Gang knew about Li Yunlong’s learning achievements, he would definitely be very happy.

But if Zhao Gang knew what Li Yunlong did behind his back, he would definitely be so angry that he would curse his mother.

“Captain, Captain, what are you thinking about? So absorbed in what?”

Zhang Dabiao, who was standing by, saw Li Yunlong put down the telegram and then stared ahead without saying a word, his eyes not moving at all, and there was even a rare hint of dullness in his eyes.

Zhang Dabiao noticed that Li Yunlong was absent-minded. He thought that Li Yunlong was tired because of overwork recently, so he quickly tried to persuade Li Yunlong.

“Captain, why don’t you take a rest? I’ll be waiting at the regiment headquarters. When Captain Qin and his men send a telegram and confirm the attack time, I’ll notify you.

Anyway, we have nothing to do right now. We just need to wait for Captain Qin to send us the attack time, and then we can launch an attack on the Japanese strongholds along the river, and then join forces to attack the Zhangzhuang stronghold.”

Hearing Zhang Dabiao’s cry, Li Yunlong came back to his senses.

Seeing that Zhang Dabiao had finished speaking, Li Yunlong waved at Zhang Dabiao.

“I’m fine, I’m fine. I was just thinking about something. I’m not tired. After this battle, there will be plenty of time to rest. Let’s finish this battle first.”

Li Yunlong shook his head, not wanting to think about the boss’s affairs, and began to concentrate on thinking about how to attack the Japanese 11th Brigade when the time comes.

Although Brigade Commander Chen has sent a relatively complete combat plan.

However, Brigade Commander Chen only formulated the battle plan based on the map.

The battle will not proceed according to your plan. The key feature of the battle is flexibility. You need to make timely changes based on the battlefield situation and then issue appropriate orders according to the current situation.

If we just follow the plan, it’s not called fighting, it’s called acting.

Only battles in plays have scripts, and only battles are conducted step by step according to the script.

But this is not some stunt, it is a real fight, the kind that will kill people.

Therefore, Li Yunlong needs to make some deductions based on the existing conditions, then make various predictions, and then make appropriate countermeasures based on these predictions.

Make preparations in advance, so that if the predicted situation really happens, you can quickly prepare according to the response measures that have been formulated long ago, and avoid being in a panic.

“Commander, look, Brigade Commander Chen said in his telegram that he would ask the Yizhong Military Region to send at least two main regiments to support our battle. Should we include the two main regiments from the Yizhong Military Region? Should we add these two regiments?
If there are two more main regiments, then even if there are any unexpected situations in the attack on Ping’an County, we can ask those two regiments to cooperate with the new second regiment under Captain Kong to block the 11th Brigade of the Japanese. “

Zhang Dabiao listened to Li Yunlong’s words, and after seeing that Li Yunlong was unwilling to rest, he stopped talking about asking Li Yunlong to rest, and picked up the telegram again to ask Li Yunlong.

Let’s see whether we should include the two regiments sent by the Yi Zhong Military Region into this battle.

If it is true as stated in the telegram, the Yi-Zhong Military Region really sent two regiments to support Li Yunlong and his men.

Then their military strength can be instantly reduced from four regiments to two regiments, and the two main regiments on the Wing Central Military Region side are not like their four regiments which are nominally main regiments but are actually not fully staffed.

The main force regiment of the Yi Zhong Military Region has about 4,000 people each.

Suddenly, there were 8,000 more troops, which was equivalent to doubling their total strength. After all, the four regiments together only had about 10,000 people.

If we really had so many troops, let’s not even talk about whether we could completely wipe out the Japanese 11th Brigade.

If they were only targeting the Japanese’s Ping’an County, with so many troops, it would be an easy task to capture Ping’an County.

The two regiments with more than 8,000 people from the Yi Zhong Military Region had no problem stopping the Japanese 11th Brigade.

Then they would not have to worry about the Japanese 11th Brigade breaking through the blocking position of the New 2nd Regiment and providing timely support to the county seat of Ping’an County.

And they could launch the attack on Ping’an County with peace of mind without worrying about being surrounded by the Japanese 11th Brigade.

Kong Jie’s new second regiment can also be transferred to Ding Wei to help Ding Wei reduce the Japanese reinforcements coming from Jinzhong, Taiyuan and other areas.

That’s why Zhang Dabiao asked whether the two regiments from the Yi Zhong Military Region should be included in the count. If they were counted together, then they would have to readjust the blocking forces.

At least, the New Second Regiment is no longer needed to block the enemy in Gucheng County, and it can be safely handed over to the two regiments of the Yi Zhong Military Region.

Listening to Zhang Dabiao’s words, Li Yunlong shook his head, then pointed at the information on the telegram and said to Zhang Dabiao.

“Da Biao, look at this… If we are sure that we have a chance to bite off a piece of meat from the Japanese 11th Brigade, or if we can completely annihilate the Japanese 11th Brigade, then we should send a telegram to the brigade headquarters immediately.

The brigade commander will request the Wing-Central Military Region to allocate two main regiments to support our battle. At the same time, he will ask other military regions to carry out large-scale troop mobilization to cooperate with us in the battle and help us attract the attention of the Japanese aircraft.

You see, the telegram made it very clear. It asked us to first make sure whether we can bite off a piece of meat from the Japanese 11th Brigade, and then send a telegram to the brigade commander.

Only after we are sure of this situation will our brigade commander request troops from the Wing Central Military District to support us, and only then will we request other military districts to cooperate with our operations.”
