Li Yunlong said: "What political position? Why can't I see it?"
Ding Wei said: "What Xiao Wang means is that Zhong Yunhe's political stance is that he has no stance, he is perfunctory to the Japanese, he fights tacitly with our Eighth Route Army and the Jinsui Army, and he can try not to harm the common people as much as possible, but like People like Pan Ren are loyal lackeys of the Japanese, and he can do anything to meet the demands of the Japanese master!"
"Yes, that's what it means." Wang Ye said, "In a word, this is a bastard who has no bottom line. Next, he will definitely do something that angers both humans and gods. We must be mentally prepared."
Li Yunlong said: "If this is the case, the Pseudo Seventh Division can no longer be ignored as before. When there is any combat operation, this armed force must be taken into consideration."
"Yes." Wang Ye nodded heavily, "We must take this into consideration in the future."
Ding Wei said: "If this is the case, the devils can completely hand over the task of defending the city to the puppet army, and then concentrate all the main force for offensive operations. Then we will be under great pressure. We must cooperate with the Jinsui Army and the Central Army now. The relationship is not good, not only can't count on Chu Yunfei and Liang Gang to help, but divide troops to guard against the two of them."
"Damn, how do you say that?" Kong Jie said, "I thought that after the expansion of the army this time, the devil's force has shrunk again, and we can usher in a counterattack in Northwest Shanxi, but after your analysis, Xiao Wang , the result is not that there is no change at all, isn't it that the little devil is suppressing our Eighth Route Army?"
Ding Wei said: "Old Kong, don't be discouraged. It's not that easy to switch between offense and defense. Besides, the situation in Northwest Shanxi is much better than other bases. You should be content."
Wang Ye said: "And the devil's attack is not necessarily a bad thing for us."
Kong Jie said, "How do you say that, is it a good thing for devils to attack?"
"At least it's better than letting us attack the devils." Wang Ye said, "Because we are used to defensive battles, but rarely fight tough battles, and defensive battles are fought in our base areas. We are familiar with the terrain and have the help of the masses. Fully mobilize the masses to fight the devils, and the advantages can be fully utilized."
"Conversely, if there is a tough battle,"
"We have to fight in places we are not familiar with."
"And there is no support from the local people."
"What's more, we lack experience in fighting tough battles and are prone to making mistakes."
"So comparing the two, it is obvious that defensive warfare is more beneficial to me, at least at this stage."
"I agree with Xiao Wang's point of view." Ding Wei said, "At this stage, our Eighth Route Army should indeed fight more defensive battles and try to avoid tough battles. The reason is also very simple, because in general our Eighth Route Army is still not strong enough to deal with devils Overwhelming strength advantages, it is easy to suffer losses if we rashly launch a tough battle under such circumstances."
"Grass!" Li Yunlong was a little unhappy when he heard this, because he was still thinking about Ping'an County. A large base with more than one million people in three counties.
At that time, it would be unreasonable for the head of the headquarters not to give a brigade an establishment.
Well, after all, Li Yunlong still wanted to be brigade commander in his heart.
But now Wang Ye's analysis directly shattered his dream.
……
In a blink of an eye, the time has come to the first ten days of November.
The order in Heyuan County has been fully restored, and Chu Yunfei also returned to Yunqi Town with the main force of the sole brigade of the Jinsui Army, leaving only the Third Regiment and the Second Shanpao Battalion to defend the city.
The news quickly spread to Dagu Town.
This will not only be Li Yunlong in Dagu Town, but also Ding Wei and Kong Jie.
Anyway, there was no big deal at home, so it would be more interesting to stay in Dagu Town and help Li Yunlong deal with Chu Yunfei, especially Ding Wei, who is not too big of a deal to watch the excitement.
In addition, the ten battalions of the New First Regiment and the New Second Regiment have also been transferred.
They were all transferred here quietly at night, without disturbing the devils and puppet troops along the way.
By the way, the Devils also gave up the blockade along the railway line after shrinking, no longer emphasizing the large-scale physical blockade of blockades and bunkers as before, but only defended a few large strongholds, and dispatched patrol cars on the railroad tracks Get on patrol to keep the railroad safe.
Regarding the behavior of the Eighth Route Army crossing the railway, a countermeasure of turning a blind eye was adopted.
This is actually a wise choice, because continuing to adopt the high-density and high-intensity physical blockade like before will consume a lot of precious manpower and material resources, which can directly drag down the Japanese army in Northwest Shanxi.
So the ten battalions of the New First Regiment and the New Second Regiment crossed Tongpu Road, entered the Fuliangshan base area, and arrived near Dagu Town without anyone noticing.
It was the first ten days of November at this time, the snow had fallen several times, and the weather was already very cold.
The living conditions of the Eighth Route Army in Northwest Shanxi have generally improved a lot, but due to the recent large-scale expansion, some supplies, such as winter clothes and quilts, are not available again.
At this moment, Li Yunlong, Ding Wei, and Kong Jie complained to each other while hiding in the tunnel to enjoy the fire.
"Lao Li, it's all your fault." Kong Jie said cursingly, "Didn't it be agreed that our three base areas will divide labor and cooperate, Lao Ding and I will be responsible for growing grain, and you Fuliang Mountain will be responsible for planting cash crops, producing tobacco, oil and Is there any cloth? As a result, Lao Ding and I have done a good job. The food supply is more than enough for 3 horses, but the cloth is not available. As a result, more than half of the recruits in Lao Tzu’s new second regiment can’t wear military uniforms. No quilts."
"Damn, can he blame me?" Li Yunlong said angrily.
"I also want to grow cotton well, and I also want to open a textile factory."
"But the problem is that the little devil won't let it go, so what can you do? The months when the Devil's Guards Second Division raided were the season for picking cotton. If I miss the season, I can still conjure cotton. Come?"
"Besides, although the supply of cloth is not enough, there is no shortage of weapons and ammunition for you, right?"
"Old Kong, you have to speak with some conscience when you talk like a dog. Is it better to let the soldiers go naked than to fight the devils with nothing?"
Kong Jie was amused at once, and laughed and scolded: "Go, go, you are the one who let the soldiers bare their chests. I, Kong Jie, will not let my soldiers bare their butts."
"All right, all right, you Kong Jie is bare-backed."
Li Yunlong laughed and said to Ding Wei: "Old Ding, he said it himself."
It was only then that Kong Jie realized that he had been duped by Li Yunlong, and immediately said angrily: "Li Yunlong, you're a fucking bastard, your whole family is naked."
While talking, Wang Ye rushed in excitedly.
Seeing Wang Ye, Li Yunlong immediately became excited and said with a smile, "Here we come!"
Sure enough, Wang Ye Tuantuan paid a military salute, and said in a deep voice: "Three chiefs, Chu Yunfei has left Heyuan County with the main force of the Jinsui Army's only brigade and returned to Yunqi Town."
Li Yunlong said: "How many defenders are there in Heyuan County?"
Wang Ye said without hesitation: "A regiment plus a mountain artillery battalion."
After a pause, Wang Ye said again: "The specific information has also been obtained. The one staying in Heyuan County is a regiment of the only brigade of the Jinsui Army. The regiment leader Wu Ziqiang has a total strength of about 500 people. The second battalion of the Sui Army's only mountain artillery brigade, battalion commander Xie Guoping, is equipped with twelve M1A1 75mm mountain artillery!"
Kong Jie said angrily: "It's really annoying to say it. We worked so hard to make four mountain cannons. These four mountain cannons are just the 38-style mountain cannons of the little devils. No matter the range or lethality It is far from enough to compare with the M75A1 1mm caliber mountain artillery of the sole brigade of the Jinsui Army, you say, why is he Chu Yunfei?"
"Why?" Ding Wei said, "There's nothing I don't understand. It's because Chu Yunfei is Chief Yan's favorite general and Chang Kaishen's favorite student. If these good equipment don't keep him close first, are they still close to us? These wild children?"
"That's right." Li Yunlong also said, "Old Kong, you can be content with it, and you are also equipped with Type [-] field guns."
"That's right, I won't talk nonsense with you." Kong Jie waved his hand, "Chu Yunfei is gone, so it's time for the good show to begin?"
"Hehe, of course." Li Yunlong said with a chuckle, "Pass my order, and the battalions will immediately act according to the original plan, and block the four gates of Heyuan County and all the crossings ten miles away."
After a pause, he said to Wang Ye: "Xiao Wang, I will leave it to you to touch the whistle."
"Yes!" Wang Ye snapped to attention and said proudly, "I promise to complete the task."
As Wang Ye walked away, Kong Jie touched his pocket and suddenly yelled, "Old Li, there's no more cigarettes."
"Fuck, haven't you been smoking old cigarettes all the time?" Li Yunlong scolded, "When did you switch to smoking cigarettes?"
"I want you to take care of it." Kong Jie said angrily, "I'm in a bad mood these days, I don't want to smoke old cigarettes, I just want to smoke cigarettes, can't I? Don't forget, Fuliangshan Cigarette Factory also has our new second regiment. shares."
"Fuck, everyone says that I, Li Yunlong, am a local rich man now, but why do I feel more and more that you two are the local rich man? Our old Li is a tenant farmer who works for you?" Li Yunlong got up to get a cigarette cursingly, and returned it I bought a pack of spiced peanuts and two bottles of sweet potatoes from the grocery store in the town.
……
At [-] o'clock the next morning, Wu Ziqiang, the head of the first regiment of the sole brigade of the Jinsui Army, was sleeping soundly at the regiment headquarters.
Wu Ziqiang was still very cautious. Instead of setting up the regiment headquarters in the former Japanese Gendarmerie, he set up the regiment headquarters in the barracks of the former Fifth Guards Infantry Regiment near the east gate.
When he was about to wake up, a faint bugle sound suddenly sounded in his ears, get up!
Although the sound of the trumpet was very soft, Wu Ziqiang still relied on the instinct of a soldier, conditioned to jump up from the bed, put on his military uniform as fast as he could, and rushed out of the room.
As a result, as soon as I went out, I happened to meet Liang Guoping, the battalion commander of the Second Shanpao Battalion.
Wu Ziqiang was immediately a little unhappy, blaming Xie Guoping for changing the wake-up time without permission.
"Captain Liang, what's the matter with you?" Wu Ziqiang reprimanded, "You didn't even discuss changing the wake-up time with me? Do you still see me as the commander?"
"Commander Wu, what are you talking about?"
In Liang Guoping's eyes, Wu Ziqiang was really not the head of the regiment. In his eyes, he only had Chu Yunfei, the brigade commander. After all, although his position was only a battalion commander, his military rank was colonel, which was equal to Wu Ziqiang.
After snorting softly, Liang Guoping said again: "I'm still wondering, thinking your brother has some urgent mission."
Hearing this, Wu Ziqiang was in a bad mood. After a few seconds, he suddenly shouted: "It's broken, go to the tower!"
At that moment, Wu Ziqiang and Liang Guoping led several officers to the east gate tower in a hurry, and then they lay down on the battlements and looked out, they were just there on the spot.
I saw outside the city gate, all rows and columns were the Eighth Route Army.
The Eighth Route Army with at least a thousand people is undergoing queue training.
Not only personnel, but also a large number of field tents suddenly appeared outside the city gate.
Wu Ziqiang said with a dark face: "Look at this posture, the Eighth Route Army is going to set up camp outside the east gate?"
Chapter 419 Hey, I am illiterate
"I'm afraid it's not just the east gate." Liang Guoping pointed to the left and right sides, and said, "Look, there are also the Eighth Route Army in the northeast and southeast corners, and their tents."
Wu Ziqiang's expression suddenly became more embarrassing.
"Damn, the Eighth Road will not surround the entire Heyuan County, will it?"
"It's hard to say." Liang Guoping said with a serious face, "I think this possibility is very high. The Eighth Route Army is not good."
The guesses of the two were soon confirmed, and messengers soon came to report that the Eighth Route Army had been found outside the South Gate, West Gate, and North Gate.
Wu Ziqiang said angrily, "The Eighth Route Army really wants to surround Heyuan County."
Liang Guoping said: "Commander Wu, the point is, how can there be so many people in the Eighth Route Army in Northwest Shanxi?"
"Yeah, where are there so many people from the Eighth Route Army?" Wu Ziqiang said in horror, "Battlemaster Liang, how many reports have you received just now that the Eighth Route Army was found? Eight or nine? Ten?"
"Captain Wu, it's the Thirteenth Division!" Liang Guoping said.
Wu Ziqiang's eyes widened suddenly, and he exclaimed in shock, "Doesn't this mean that the Eighth Route Army outside the city has thirteen regiments?"
Liang Guoping said: "The regiment-level organization of the Eighth Route Army is usually organized as a small regiment. A regiment consists of nine infantry companies plus a few directly subordinate units, and the total strength is only more than 1000 people. If calculated in this way, the Eighth Route Army outside the city is indeed There are thirteen regiments!"
Wu Ziqiang said in horror: "This means that the Eighth Route Army outside the city has a total of more than 5000 people?"
"That's right, there are more than 5000 people." Liang Guoping stretched out his hand and said again, "Look, the four-way column is easy to count. There are more than 1000 and 5000 people in one place, and more than [-] people in the thirteenth place." people."
"Damn, the speed at which the Eighth Route Army is pulling troops is too scary." Wu Ziqiang said in horror, "At the end of last year when they were just driven to Northwest Shanxi by the devils, there were only more than 2000 people in total. It has reached 5000 people! If it continues to develop at this rate, won’t it grow to 10 people by the end of next year?”
"Let me tell you, Commander Wu, don't worry about next year's affairs, let's think about the present first." Liang Guoping said, "I don't know when the Eighth Route Army came here? Our sentry didn't notice it."
"He is coming for us, can the sentinel find it?"
"Obviously it's the fact that we seized Heyuan County, which pissed off Li Yunlong."
On this point, Wu Ziqiang saw it clearly, and said: "Don't forget, there is a Wolf Warrior Squadron in the Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army, which is stronger than our Tiger Squadron. It is not a piece of cake to get a whistle. .”
"Impossible?" Liang Guoping said with a dark face, "The Eighth Route Army really dare to kill our sentry?"
"It's not enough to kill people." Wu Ziqiang waved his hand and said, "At most it's just to control the sentry."
Liang Guoping breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Thankfully, this is not a devil, otherwise we will suffer a lot."
Wu Ziqiang snorted and said, "How much better do you think Li Yunlong is than devils? When we meet devils, we will fight at most, even if we die, we will die to understand, but when we meet Li Yunlong, hey, this is a person who refuses to suffer. My master is also an extremely cunning and difficult master, do you still remember the mutiny of the first battalion?"
"Nonsense." Liang Guoping said, "If you didn't have that kind of thing, could your brother be the head of the regiment?"
"Hey, don't mention irrelevant things." Wu Ziqiang coughed lightly, and said, "Li Yunlong used the excuse of cleaning up the door for our Jinsui Army to hand over the equipment of a battalion, and he has not yet handed over the equipment of that battalion. Give it back to us."
"I know about this." Liang Guoping said, "Didn't the brigade take the initiative to send the equipment to the independent regiment?"
"Do you think Lu Zuo is willing?" Wu Ziqiang said angrily, "There is no way for Lu Zuo."
"Then this matter will be difficult." Liang Guoping said, "Looking at this posture, the Eighth Route Army is not planning to let us out of the city. Maybe it is really possible to create a mutiny that does not exist, and then take the opportunity to surrender our weapons. .”
"So you have to report to the brigade headquarters quickly." Wu Ziqiang said, "Before the Eighth Route Army thinks about it and cuts the telephone line, report to the brigade headquarters quickly, or it will be too late."
With that said, Wu Ziqiang turned around and rushed downstairs.
Liang Guoping followed downstairs and said, "I'm afraid it's already too late."
Sure enough, when Wu Ziqiang returned to the regiment headquarters and called, the phone was no longer connected.
Liang Guoping spread his hands and said, "Needless to say, it must have been done by Li Yunlong."
Wu Ziqiang quickly became an ant on the hot pot, and said: "Liang Battalion Commander, you and I are in a very dangerous situation now. The Eighth Route Army with a full Class A division has completely surrounded the county, and its strength is five times that of ours. Many, if Li Yunlong really wants to kill us someday, he can eat us at any time."
After a pause, he said again: "To use an inappropriate metaphor,"
"You and my brother are now a piece of meat next to Li Yunlong's mouth."
"Whether Li Yunlong eats or not depends on whether he is in a good mood."
"Who says it's not?" Liang Guoping spread his hands again and said, "For now, the distance of the Eighth Route Army is already less than the minimum range of our Shanpao Battalion. If there is an armed conflict between the two sides, our Shanpao Battalion's twelve M1A1 75mm The caliber mountain cannon has become a decoration, and I can't put a bayonet on the cannon!"
After a pause, he said again: "If our Shanpao Battalion is allowed to fight like your infantry, and our combat effectiveness is not even as good as your infantry company, how will we fight this battle?"
