Chapter 216 Li Yunlong: You are a bastard if you don’t take advantage of an opportunity Yuxi Town, headquarters of the independent regiment. Kong Jie's telegram was sent to Li Yunlong, Ding Wei and Qin Yangming at the same time. After receiving Kong Jie's telegram, Li Yunlong's reaction was almost the same as Qin Yangming's. "Hey, Kong Erlangzi is a lucky guy. He ran into this thing." Zhao Gang, who was standing by, listened to what Li Yunlong said and immediately asked back. "Old Li, why do you say that? Could it be that Captain Kong also ran into a Japanese officer and caught a big fish?" When Zhao Gang heard Li Yunlong say that Kong Jie had good luck, he subconsciously thought of the information Li Yunlong provided to Ding Wei not long ago, which helped Ding Wei catch a big fish. Then he associated it with what Li Yunlong said about Kong Jie's good luck, and thought that Kong Jie had also met a Japanese general. Listening to Zhao Gang's words, Li Yunlong shook his head to indicate that Zhao Gang's guess was wrong, and then the expression on his face became a little serious. "No, those little devils that Kong Jie encountered might be a good thing for us, but it's different for Kong Jie. Lao Zhao, take a look at the telegram first." Li Yunlong handed the telegram to Zhao Gang, and then shouted loudly to his guard Hu Zi outside.
"Hu Zi, call Zhang Da Biao over here, and check if the monk has come back. If he has, tell him to come over to see me!" "Yes!" Hu Zi, who had just entered the regiment headquarters, heard the order given by Li Yunlong. Before he even stood firm, he hurriedly saluted and went to carry out Li Yunlong's order. Zhao Gang also took a quick look at the information on the telegram. "The Vanguard Regiment, the New First Regiment are all new recruits, and the New Second Regiment are all veterans, including the entire 22nd Regiment of the Japanese. Lao Li, Lao Kong might be in trouble!" Listening to what Zhao Gang said, Li Yunlong bent over the table, picked up a pencil and quickly drew on the map. "The Japanese 22nd Regiment is a veteran unit, and its combat effectiveness is no less than that of the original Sakata Regiment. It's a pity that the Japanese's 22nd Regiment went towards Kong Erlengzi. If they were heading towards me, why would they wait until night to launch a general attack? As long as the 22nd Regiment comes over, Xiao Qin and his men can launch a general attack right away!" Zhao Gang has been following Li Yunlong for quite some time, and he has learned some of Li Yunlong's combat style. Moreover, Zhao Gang has figured out Li Yunlong's temper very well. Li Yunlong is a man who obeys his will. If you follow his wishes, Li Yunlong's face will be as smiling as a flower. If you dare to go against Li Yunlong, this kid will immediately turn hostile and curse you even if he was smiling just now. If it were normal times, Zhao Gang wouldn't mind arguing with Li Yunlong. If there was anything, everyone had to discuss it together. However, during combat, as long as it was not a mistake of principle, Zhao Gang would always follow Li Yunlong's thoughts and try not to interfere with Li Yunlong's thinking, allowing Li Yunlong to calmly give play to the combat intuition in his mind. Allow Li Yunlong to fully exert his abilities and lead his troops to win the battle. Even if any mistakes were made, Zhao Gang would not point them out on the spot, but would wait until the battle was over before arguing with Li Yunlong. So listening to what Li Yunlong said at this moment, combined with Zhao Gang's understanding of Li Yunlong, Zhao Gang instantly understood what Li Yunlong was thinking, and immediately spoke in line with Li Yunlong's words. "Old Li, what you mean is that if the 22nd Regiment of the Japanese Fourth Brigade launches an attack on our Independent Regiment, or the Vanguard Regiment, or the New First Regiment, then the general offensive can be launched earlier?"
Listening to Zhao Gang's words, Li Yunlong threw down the pencil in his hand, stood up, put his hands behind his back, and spoke to Zhao Gang while looking at the map on the table. "Ah." "After Qin Yangming became the head of the group, he became much more timid. The boss had handed the heavy artillery regiment over to him, but he still said that he would wait until night when the Japanese planes could no longer take off before launching a general attack on the 4th Brigade. In one night, the Japanese 4th Brigade would be wiped out! During the day, the siege was the main approach against the 4th Brigade, supplemented by attacks, in order to weaken the 4th Brigade's strength as much as possible. At the same time, we found out the deployment of the Japanese 4th Brigade to facilitate the attack at night. If it were me, I wouldn't wait until night. The moment I get the heavy artillery regiment, it would be time for the general attack! With so many artillery pieces, plus the artillery shells of the Vanguard Regiment, as well as our Independent Regiment and the various ammunition reserves of the New 1st Regiment, even if only one shell hits two devils, we can kill all the devils of the Fourth Brigade!" "Xiao Qin is also thinking about everyone. If we launch a general attack during the day, we will not only have to face the artillery bombardment of the 4th Brigade, but also the Japanese planes. We don't have many anti-aircraft weapons. If we attack during the day, the casualties will be too great." "Casualties? There are always casualties in war. If you are worried about casualties, why fight a war? There is no war in this world where no one will die! We suffered fewer casualties by fighting at night, but what about the other troops? If we failed to eliminate the 4th Brigade of the Japanese in one night, the other troops would have to hold out for another day. The equipment of those troops is not as good as that of our three regiments. Oh, how great it would be if the Japanese 22nd Regiment launched an attack on us? With the strength of our three regiments, any one of them can defeat the 22nd Regiment. The New 1st Regiment, the New 1st Regiment is the old unit I led. It was the one that fought against the Sakata Regiment, or the Sakata Brigade, at Cangyun Ridge. The current New 1st Regiment is even stronger than it was at Cang Yunling. It will have no problem holding on to, or even destroying, the 22nd Regiment. As for the vanguard regiment, when Qin Yangming only had one battalion, he was able to completely wipe out the Japanese Korean regiment. The initial battle at Baihuling can be said to be one that can be recorded in history, as two regiment flags were captured. If the Japanese 22nd Regiment went to attack the Vanguard Regiment, Qin Yangming would probably be able to kill all of them by noon. As for our independent regiment... Lao Zhao, do you think the Japanese 22nd Regiment will have any good consequences if they fall into my hands? It can be said that except for the 22nd Regiment, there was no other capable fighting unit in the Japanese Fourth Brigade. By then, as long as the 22nd Regiment is bitten, the remaining 4th Brigade will be the fat meat on the chopping board. Not to mention us, even Kong Jie's new 2nd Regiment can take a bite! As long as we can hold down the Japanese 22nd Regiment, the general offensive can begin ahead of time. If we eliminate the 4th Brigade one minute earlier, the other brother units will lose fewer soldiers. It is even possible to speed up and take two more bites from the other two Japanese brigades that are attacking us." Having said that, Li Yunlong excitedly slammed the table. Then his face was filled with helplessness and regret. After listening to what Li Yunlong said, Zhao Gang naturally understood what Li Yunlong was regretting, and immediately added. "It's a pity that the commander of the 4th Brigade of the Japanese devils, Ping Lu Yongfu, sent the 22nd Regiment to attack Commander Kong." "Well, what a pity, this is a good opportunity... Why did that old bastard Pinglu Yongfu send the 22nd Regiment to attack Kong Erlengzi? What's there to fight about over there? Doesn’t Pinglu Yongfu know that he is surrounded? Still hitting inside? I've fought for so many years, but this is the first time I've been surrounded. Instead of thinking about how to break out, I was thinking about getting deeper into the encirclement. Even if you want to learn how to break through the Cangyun Ridge from the front, you can't learn it this way. Now the 22nd Regiment of the Japanese has launched an attack on Kong Erlangzi. It would be good enough if Kong Erlangzi can block it, not to mention whether he can hold on to the 22nd Regiment. " "Old Li, from what you said, Captain Kong might not be able to stop the attack of the Japanese 22nd Regiment?"
"It's unstoppable. If nothing unexpected happens elsewhere, with the combat effectiveness of the Japanese 22nd Regiment, Kong Erlangzi's New 2nd Regiment can only hold out for eight hours at most. The battle line was too long, and Kong Erlangzi's terrain advantage was completely offset by the Japanese's advantage in manpower. If there is no support from other troops, or if there are no problems with the Japanese, then the New Second Regiment can only block the attack of the 22nd Regiment, and will definitely not have the strength to actively attack the Japanese and hold them back. " "Then Lao Li, should we provide support to Captain Kong? Otherwise, the Japanese from the 4th Brigade broke through the defense line of Captain Kong..." "Well, I asked Hu Zi to call Zhang Da Biao and the monk for this matter. Support can be sent from behind, Kong Jie can still hold on for a while, but sending troops to support will not solve the problem on Kong Jie's side. So I plan to launch an attack on the Japanese first. I bet that it won't be long before Qin Yangming and Ding Wei will send a telegram, preparing to launch a joint attack on the Japanese. Attack from three sides and force this old devil Lu Yongfu to withdraw the 22nd Regiment back to Tongshi Town! Once the Japanese 22nd Regiment withdrew, Kong Erlengzi's troubles would naturally be solved. If this old Japanese soldier Pinglu Yongfu does not allow the 22nd Regiment to retreat, then I and the campus will send out a part of the troops to support Kong Erlengzi, and then directly launch a general attack on the Japanese 4th Brigade. At that time, our supporting troops only need to work with Kong Erlangzi to block the Japanese 22nd Regiment, so Ding Wei can let go and attack the Japanese 4th Brigade with all his strength. Qin Yangming and I headed straight for Tongshi Town from the direction of Baihu Ridge and Yuxi Town respectively. Forcibly separated the 22nd Regiment and the Japanese 4th Brigade. By then, Ding Wei's troops will be mixed with the remaining troops of the Japanese 4th Brigade, and our independent regiment and vanguard regiment will be located in the middle. In addition, the vanguard regiment has anti-aircraft machine guns and heavy machine guns that can shoot into the air. So we don't have to worry about the Japanese planes. However, in this case, the casualties of the troops will be much greater than in the other two situations. The party that takes the initiative to attack will always have to bear greater losses." "Commander, the commander of the first battalion of the independent regiment, Zhang Dabiao, reports! "Commissar, I'm back. "Captain, Hu Zi said you wanted to see me, what's the matter?" Li Yunlong had just explained the subsequent battle plan to Zhao Gang, and then the door curtain in front of the house was lifted by Zhang Dabiao. Zhang Dabiao and Wei Dayong entered the regiment headquarters one after another and greeted Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang respectively. "Da Biao, come here and look here. Immediately lead your troops to launch a feint attack on the Japanese soldiers defending this area. Remember, the noise must be loud. Don't save mortar shells. Bomb them as hard as you can. Make the Japanese mistakenly think that we are launching a general attack on them. Of course, although it is a feint, it also depends on when. If you see an opportunity to take advantage of, then take it. If you don't take advantage of it, you're a bastard. But you have to remember this, without my order, you are absolutely not allowed to lead all the soldiers of the First Battalion to launch a full-scale attack on the Fourth Brigade. How is it, any questions?"
"Captain, no problem, I guarantee to complete the mission! But, Commander, when are we going to launch a general attack on the Japanese Fourth Brigade? The soldiers below were getting impatient, and several of them asked to launch an attack on the Japanese. Everyone felt that staying in the trenches was too cowardly. "If you feel like a coward, just keep it to yourself! The time to launch a general offensive has not come yet. If the time comes, I will naturally notify you. Zhang Dabiao, I'm warning you, don't follow my example and act first and report later. If you dare to follow my example and mobilize troops privately, then my regiment headquarters is in need of a groom." "Hey, Captain, how dare I? Captain, don't worry, I promise I won't move a single soldier without your order!" "Well, that's right, but as I said before, we won't do business that will lose money. But you must take advantage of any bargain you can get. If you don't take advantage of a good opportunity, you're a bastard. You just stay at the front and watch for yourself. If anything goes wrong, call me. Don't try to break the telephone line." "Yes!" "Well, let's go!" After giving instructions to Zhang Dabiao, Li Yunlong waved his hand to signal Zhang Dabiao that he could leave. After Zhang Dabiao left, Li Yunlong turned his eyes to Wei Dayong. "Monk, you have worked hard on this trip, but you cannot rest as a soldier yet. There are still combat missions for you." "Captain, what other combat missions are there? Please rest assured and leave it to me. I promise to do it beautifully for you. By the way, Commander, I got these from the Japanese officers. Both of them belong to the command heads of Japanese colonels. The one belonging to Japanese major generals was taken away by Commander Ding and is about to be handed over to the brigade commander. I brought back two Japanese colonel's swords for you and the political commissar." When the monk heard that Li Yunlong was going to give him another combat mission, he first nodded happily and patted his chest to agree. Then he took out two Japanese colonel officer's command swords wrapped in cloth from behind his back. Wei Dayong handed Li Yunlong a command knife with a black handle. The white one was handed to Zhao Gang by Wei Dayong. "Hey, Captain, you are a military commander, so you should wear black, which makes you look more impressive. Political Commissar Zhao is a civilian, so you should wear white, which makes you look better." (End of this chapter)
