At four o'clock in the afternoon, Li Yunlong, Staff Officer Zhong and Deputy Commander Qian all rushed to the brigade headquarters, and the three of them went straight to the command room.
The brigade commander and political commissar are already waiting here.
"Brigadier Political Commissar" Li Yunlong and others shouted in unison, saluting the two of them at the same time.
"Yes." The brigade commander and political commissar saluted in return.
"Sit down." The brigade commander motioned for the two of them to sit down.
After Li Yunlong sat down, he saw the map nailed to the wooden board behind the brigade commander. It was the topographic map of Wuhan
For a while, Li Yunlong probably guessed what the brigade commander had given them. What are the important tasks.
"The defense in Wuhan is not going well." The brigade commander went directly to the topic. The Japanese have been attacking Wuhan for more than two months, and the positions of the national army are being lost.
"Yes, as expected." Li Yunlong nodded and said. The Japanese mobilized the navy, land and air force to attack Wuhan this time. The air control is not in the hands of the national army. It is normal for Wuhan to be unable to defend it now.
"The situation over there is not optimistic. Originally, the headquarters did not intend to participate. After all, in such a war,
We can't help much if we go there. , On the contrary, it will delay our development. "The brigade commander said that they are unable to participate in a battle involving millions of people.
If you go, the team will suffer a heavy blow and it will be difficult to develop.
“However, we cannot do nothing. Although we are destroying the enemy’s railways and harassing the enemy behind enemy lines,
but we cannot watch over there in Wuhan. They fought, so the headquarters decided to send a unit to carry out sabotage behind the Japanese in Wuhan.
And for this unit, the headquarters chose a new regiment, because as far as the current situation is concerned, in our team, The most combat-effective group is the New Regiment.
Of course, this mission is very dangerous. Once you go to the enemy's rear, we will have no other help.
So, if If you don’t want to go, you can replace him with someone else,” the brigade commander said.
This mission is not mandatory. If the new regiment is unwilling to go, other troops from the headquarters will go there.
Moreover, the headquarters does not want anything to happen to the New Regiment. After all, the New Regiment has the strongest combat effectiveness in the team.
But if we change to other troops, if they are surrounded by the Japanese, they may not even be able to break out. The final result can be imagined.
But the New Regiment can. As long as they are not surrounded by a large number of Japanese soldiers, it will be easy for the New Regiment to break through.
If the strength was not strong before, the headquarters would not choose to participate. After all, there is really no way.
But it is different now. Because of the new infantry drill and a pile of money recently seized, the team has developed rapidly and its combat effectiveness has been greatly improved, so the headquarters has thought of sending a troop to Wuhan.
Moreover, compared to other regiment leaders, Li Yunlong’s ability is outstanding, not to mention Li Yunlong’s abilities.Jin's special operations company is here.
The headquarters also has high hopes for sending a new group over, believing that the new group can cause a lot of trouble to the Japanese.
"We have accepted this task," Li Yunlong said directly. It was not his Li Yunlong style to be timid.
"Although it is dangerous for us to go, it will be safer if we go compared to other groups." Deputy Captain Qian also said.
The fighting power of the new regiment has become even stronger. It is impossible for the Japanese to annihilate them without six or seven thousand people surrounding them.
Besides, the Japanese want to surround them in the mountains. How can it be so simple to live with them? They are more suitable for fighting in the mountains than the Japanese.
If it were replaced by another regiment, the weapons and combat effectiveness would not be as good as the new regiment. It is possible that they went I can't come back.
"You guys have to think about it carefully." the brigade commander asked. In his opinion, this mission was indeed too dangerous.
Even if the Japanese troops are in the front, there will not be too few in the rear, and the danger is great.
"Don't think about it, let's go." Li Yunlong said, anyway, we are going to fight against the devil, so going there is different.
If you go to Wuhan, you can at least make more noise for the Japanese in the rear and delay the Japanese's attack time. Although it will not have a great impact on the frontal battlefield, it can also make the Japanese in the rear feel physically and mentally exhausted.
"Well, since you have chosen to go, if you need any help, you can ask it now." The brigade commander said, and he also guessed that Li Yunlong would choose to go.
"The New Regiment now needs guns, cannons, and cannons, and they don't need any support." Li Yunlong said, since they want to cause trouble, they have to do it in a big way.
Small groups of troops were directly annihilated as quickly as possible. As for those with more than 2,000 Japs, sneak attacks and harassment were carried out at night. In short, those Japs were not allowed to do anything easy.
“I’m giving you fifteen light machine guns, eight more mortars, twenty grenades, and fifty boxes of artillery shells. , Remember, you will pay it back when you come back." The brigade commander said that he had arranged these things before he asked Li Yunlong to come over.
The New Regiment does have more weapons than other regiments, but compared to heavy machine guns, light machine guns are more suitable to carry for this mission.
"Yes" Li Yunlong nodded.
"By the way, medicines, anti-inflammatories, hemostatics, analgesics, antipyretics, all of them are needed." Li Yunlong said. Compared with weapons, he wanted more medicines to be prepared.
"Well, okay, are there any others?" The brigade commander nodded.
Li Yunlong shook his head, that was probably it.
“I’m sending you over this time to harass you for a month. During this month, you can do whatever you can to do it. Don’t show off.
If you find that something cannot be done, withdraw immediately and never disobey orders, understand?" the brigade commander warned.
He was afraid that Li Yunlong would stab Lou Zi again. If it weren’t for Staff Officer Zhong and the others following him,, he was really worried about just letting Li Yunlong lead his troops there.
"Yes" Li Yunlong replied loudly.
"Chief of Staff Zhong, watch him, don't let him do something stupid. If this kid does something stupid, just tie him up and take him away without asking me for instructions." The brigade commander warned again.
"Understand that I promise not to let him commit trouble," Staff Officer Zhong said seriously.
When Li Yunlong heard what the brigade commander said, he felt uncomfortable in his heart. What do you mean he was acting stupid? When did he become stupid?
"In three days, you will set off when you are ready. By the way, how many people are there in the new regiment now?" the brigade commander asked.
"Three thousand two hundred people, all soldiers with combat experience." Li Yunlong said that this time the attack on Guyuan County was not only for supplies, but also for troop training.
"Well, the headquarters only asks you to lead 2,000 people there. As for the rest, please stay at the New Regiment station." The brigade commander said, it is impossible for all the New Regiment to be sent there. , some people must be left to guard the base.
"Yes"
"By the way, bring this map of the direction of the Japanese attack.
It marks the places that the Japanese have occupied. As for where to go to do things, you can decide after you go back and have a meeting.
This is all they can do now. The specific action plan still requires Li Yunlong and the others to make the decision.
"Yes" Li Yunlong nodded. With this map, they would not be blind when they get there.
"Brigadier, have you distributed the radio station that was seized in Guyuan County?" Li Yunlong asked.
"Not yet. It was originally planned to be distributed to the independent regiment." The brigade commander said that he had not yet distributed the captured radio.
"How about temporarily giving this radio station to the special operations company?" Li Yunlong said.
After this time, he felt that the special operations company should have a radio station to facilitate communication between the two parties. The key is that after going there, Li Yunlong planned to let Li Jin fight the Japanese by himself, and the new regiment It is assisting on the side.
"Okay, let's give it to the special operations company first, but we agreed that it will be borrowed and will be returned after the mission is completed." said the brigade commander.
"I understand," Li Yunlong said. Naturally, this radio station cannot really be given to the special operations company. After all, in the Eighth Route Army, except for the New Regiment, other regiment-level units cannot have radio stations.
"Since you have accepted this mission, go back and make preparations. In short, fight if you can, and withdraw if you can't. We just need to contribute." The brigade commander warned again. He hoped that Li Yunlong Come back alive.
"Yes" Li Yunlong nodded.
"Go back and prepare." The brigade commander waved his hand.
Soon, the brigade commander sent people to prepare all the resources Li Yunlong wanted, and sent people to go to the regiment headquarters with Li Yunlong and others.
"Captain, when I go to Wuhan this time, I feel it is not so easy to fight the Japanese." On the way back, Staff Officer Zhong rode close to Li Yunlong and said.
He is not too fond of Wuhan.It's familiar, so there's an uneasy feeling.
"It's not that big of a deal." Deputy Commander Qian said, he thought there was still some fighting.
"There is nothing difficult to fight. This time we are going to the enemy's rear to cause trouble. Their large forces are fighting the national army on the front line. Our side is relatively safer." Li Yunlong said.
The Japanese troops are currently blocked at the front line. Although there may be a lot of people in the rear, it is safer than the front line no matter what.
"Okay, let's hurry back."
At twelve noon the next day, Li Yunlong returned to the regiment headquarters.
The first thing I did when I returned was to call all the battalion and company commanders to the regiment headquarters, and Li Jin was also called over.
At around one o'clock in the afternoon, all cadres at company level and above went to the command room.
They didn’t quite understand what was going on, but they all knew that big action was needed, otherwise they wouldn’t be in such a hurry.
"Okay, now that everyone is here, let's get ready for the meeting." Li Yunlong glanced at everyone.
At this time, Staff Officer Zhong pulled the map nailed to the wooden board behind Li Yunlong.
Everyone looked at the map, and their hearts twitched. Could it be that the mission to Wuhan this time is to go to Wuhan
This is too far
Li Jin frowned, why did he suddenly have to go to Wuhan? It's not very safe there now. The Japanese almost suppressed the national army.
Even if the new group passes, it is impossible to turn the tide of the battle.
"I went to the brigade headquarters for a meeting yesterday. The brigade commander gave us a task, which is to go to Wuhan to cause trouble for the Japanese.
The Japanese are attacking there now, so we said , Our mission is to go to the enemy's rear to cause trouble, and not to make it easy for the enemy to live in the rear.
If you have any opinions, you can raise them now," Li Yunlong said.
"Captain, isn't it a bit too far from us? Moreover, we are not very familiar with the terrain there. Fighting in unfamiliar places will affect combat effectiveness." Song Qian said.
They are not very familiar with the terrain there, and this issue is very critical.
"You can quickly adapt to unfamiliar terrain. If we are not familiar with it, how can there be Japanese who are not familiar with it?" Li Yunlong said.
Compared with the Japanese, they have an advantage. After all, they can easily adapt to survive in harsh environments, and they can go there as well.
"The environment over there may not be very friendly to our soldiers." Zhang Dabiao also said.
They are not afraid of fighting the Japanese directly, but they are afraid that the soldiers will get sick due to acclimatization. This is the most fatal thing. He is afraid that the soldiers will not adapt.
"So, these difficulties are exactly what we have to overcome. It's not easy for us, and it's not easy for the Japanese either.
Moreover, the brigade commander has also prepared medicines for us. , let’s try to exercise restraint,” Li Yunlong said.
He knew there would be a lot of people there this timeThe difficulty is not fighting the Japanese, but the environment.
"Captain, the key is that diarrhea caused by acclimatization will cause severe dehydration of the soldiers. We must prepare a large amount of salt to soak it for the soldiers to drink when the time comes.
Tea leaves and garlic should also be prepared, this is a folk recipe that can effectively stop diarrhea." Li Jin said at this time.
Acclimatization can cause diarrhea and dehydration. Drinking salt water can help. Boiling tea leaves and garlic slices and drinking them can effectively stop diarrhea.
"Then prepare more salt, tea leaves and garlic." Li Yunlong said, and he still believed Li Jin's words.
“Furthermore, hygiene must also be taken care of. If you have to camp in one place for several days, the soldiers must not stay near the camp.
It must be at least about 500 meters away from the camp. That's right, excrement must be buried, and soldiers must also be prepared for mosquito bites, otherwise they can easily cause diseases," Li Jin continued.
Bacteria can easily breed in a humid environment. If hygiene management is not done well, it can easily lead to infectious diseases. When the time comes, the enemy will not be attacked, but will be wiped out by the disease group.
Hearing these words, Li Yunlong was stunned. He felt that Li Jin seemed to know these things very well, but he didn't ask any more questions.
"Have you heard what Li Jin said? When the time comes, the order will be passed and the soldiers will do what Li Jin said." Li Yunlong said.
"Yes" everyone nodded.
"Now that the preparations for survival are almost done, let's talk about the route forward. I plan to go all the way through Henan,
and then from Xinyang, into Hubei and around to Guizi From the rear, do you have any other opinions?" Li Yunlong said. He thought about it all night and felt that this route forward was safer.
"No." Everyone shook their heads.
"Okay, then the route is decided." Li Yunlong said.
"Commander, do you want us all to go over there?" Zhang Dabiao asked. If they all go over there, what will happen to the new regiment's base?
"No, stay here." There are hundreds of people to guard several stations of the New Regiment," Li Yunlong said.
He planned to keep the new soldiers and the three hundred veterans at the new regiment's station.
If you bring all the veterans there, if the new recruits encounter the Japs, there will be no one to teach or direct the battle, and it will be just a decoration in the face of strong combat effectiveness.
"Captain, who do you plan to keep at the station?" Song Qian asked. He didn't want to keep him anyway.
"Then stay, Second Battalion." Before Li Yunlong finished speaking, the Second Battalion Commander became anxious.
"No, Commander, I want to fight with you too, don't leave me alone," said the second battalion commander. How could we miss him when we go to Wuhan? If we stay in the base area, we can only train troops. . Please remember to collect it, the latest and fastest website is free to read without anti-theft
