The eldest of the Yan family in the Siheyuan

"Relax, Captain."

"Okay, let's go." Li Yunlong ordered.

"Yes." Then several people returned to their troops and led the soldiers towards Dagu Town.

As for Dagu Town, Zhang Dabiao had already imposed martial law on it according to Li Yunlong's order, and the people who got the news were waiting on both sides of the street early.

On Li Yunlong's side, after more than an hour's march, he also arrived at Dagu Town.

When Zhang Dabiao saw Li Yunlong coming with the troops, he hurried up to greet him: "Report to the regiment commander, please give instructions when all the preparations are completed, and report to Zhang Dabiao, the battalion commander of the first battalion. After Zhang Dabiao finished speaking, he saluted Li Yunlong. .

"Let's get started." Li Yunlong replied with a military salute.

Then Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang rode their horses, led the second battalion, the third battalion, the cavalry company, and the artillery company, and headed towards the main street of Dagu Town.

The soldiers, on the other hand, held their heads high and their chests high, following in the footsteps of Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang with neat steps.

The soldiers of the first battalion maintained order on both sides of the street to avoid any emergencies.

At this time, the common people came out of their homes and gathered on both sides of the street. There were not many people at first, but when Li Yunlong and the others arrived, the two sides of the street were already full of people.

At first, the common people thought there was nothing to see. After all, in their inherent impression, the Tuba Road was a group of troops with leak-proof equipment and ragged clothes.So they didn't have much expectations for this military parade.

But when Li Yunlong came over with his troops, it was a bit beyond their expectations, especially the cavalry company and artillery company that followed at the end as the finale.

The folks thought to themselves, when did Tuba Road have such good equipment, not only the clothes were neat and clean, but also a long rifle in hand, not only that, but there were cavalry and artillery behind.

Seeing this scene, the common people began to burst into commotion, followed by cheers like mountains and seas.

The entire military parade lasted about an hour or so, but the effect achieved was excellent.

Now everyone's support for the new regiment is unprecedentedly high, and the registration site in Dagu Town is overcrowded. Many young people of the right age want to join the Eighth Route Army and join the new regiment.

Seeing this situation, Zhang Dabiao couldn't help but smile from ear to ear. According to what he said before, these people will belong to their first battalion, and the strength of their first battalion will definitely improve a lot by then.

After the military parade was over, the second battalion and the third battalion rushed to the village where they were stationed.The artillery company stayed put and the first battalion was stationed in Dagu Town, while the cavalry company returned to Zhaojiayu.

Li Yunlong, Zhao Gang and Zhang Dabiao were talking in the command room of Dagu Town.

"Da Biao, this time the reputation of our Xinyi regiment has been spread in Dagu Town. I guess the devils should have got the news. You must take strict precautions here, and you must not be careless. If there is any situation, you must Report in time, and in addition, the telephone line will be connected in two days, if you are unsure about something, you can report to the regiment headquarters." Li Yunlong told Zhang Dabiao.

"Yes, Commander, please rest assured, our First Battalion guarantees to guard Dagu Town." Zhang Dabiao assured Li Yunlong.

"Okay, I'm relieved, but there is still one thing you need to pay attention to, that is, the issue of policy promotion. The political commissar and I have also seen it just now. Many people go to the conscription site to sign up. The recruit training must be done well. Also, This time, when we conquered Dagu Town, we just captured a lot of food, and took out some of it to distribute to fellow villagers in need." Li Yunlong said to Zhang Dabiao again.

"The head of the regiment is right. Our Eighth Route Army is a people's army. We must handle the relationship with the villagers well. This is very important. We must not conflict with the villagers. At the same time, we must tell our soldiers, We were used to staying in the village before, but now we are in the town, where there are markets, businesses, and restaurants. This must be clearly understood by the soldiers, and the red line must not be crossed." Zhao Gang also pointed Zhang Dabiao instructed.

After all, this is the first time they have stationed their troops in a town. If there is a conflict, it will have a great impact on their future development.

"The political commissar is right. If anyone dares to bully the common people, then don't blame me, Li Yunlong, for not being sympathetic."

"Regiment leader and political commissar, you can rest assured that such a thing will never happen in our Xinyi regiment. If it does, I will kill him myself without you two talking." Zhang Dabiao assured Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang again.

"Okay, since that's the case, the political commissar and I will go back to Zhaojiayu if there is nothing wrong." After speaking, Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang left the command room and rushed towards Zhaojiayu.

.........

At this time, he was at the headquarters of the 358th regiment of the Central Army.

"Tuan Zuo, according to the latest news, Dagu Town has been occupied by the Eighth Route Army." Fang Ligong hurried to the regiment headquarters to report to Chu Yunfei.

Hearing Fang Ligong's words, Chu Yunfei frowned and said, "Oh, Dagu Town has been taken by the Eight Route Army, guerrillas? Just those few broken guns can drive away the devils stationed in Dagu Town. Brother Ligong , are you kidding me again?"

"Tuan Zuo, this is true. Now the Eighth Route Army has occupied Dagu Town, and you know the military commander of this army, Li Yunlong from the new regiment." Fang Ligong explained to Chu Yunfei.

"Li Yunlong, when did he come to Southwest Shanxi? When did this happen?" Chu Yunfei became even more curious after hearing Fang Ligong's words.

"Tuan Zuo, I'm not very clear about the specific situation, but according to the report of the intelligence personnel, it happened in the past two days. As for why Li Yunlong appeared here, it should be a matter of shifting defense. Didn't we receive the second battle a few days ago?" According to the report from the District Chief’s Ministry, three regiments of the 129th Brigade of the 386th Division have moved to defend, and they probably came to our side.” Fang Ligong thought for a while and said.

"If this is the case, then it makes sense, but how did Dagu Town be defeated by Li Yunlong so quickly? Where did the devils station a squadron of troops? How did Li Yunlong do it?" Chu Yunfei was in the regiment headquarters. Walking back and forth, he said to himself.

"Tuan Zuo, the intelligence personnel are still investigating the specific situation."

"Then let them figure out this matter as soon as possible. It is impossible for such a big movement of attacking Dagu Town not to spread any news."

"Yes." Fang Ligong heard Chu Yunfei's words, turned and walked out of the regiment headquarters, and went to arrange the things he explained, while Chu Yunfei continued to sit down.He secretly said in his heart: "Brother Yunlong, it seems that the day when we meet again is not far away."

"Sun Ming, go and check the location of Li Yunlong's regiment headquarters, and you and I will visit later." Chu Yunfei said to the adjutant Sun Ming at the side.

"Yes, group seat. I'll do it right away." Hearing Chu Yunfei's words, Sun Ming walked out of the group headquarters and arranged for someone to investigate.

And here in Ping'an County, in the division headquarters of the 69th Division.

"Nani, is what you said true?" Muto Mibo asked Nakajima Feng.

"Yes, Your Excellency, division commander. According to the information sent back by the intelligence personnel, today Li Yunlong, the head of the new regiment, and Zhao Gang, the political commissar, just led their troops to hold a military parade in Dagu Town, and even threatened to hold Dagu. An isolated town, to compete with us. However, the equipment of their troops is indeed good. Not only does it have a [-] big cover, but also a cavalry company and an artillery company. The equipment is still our mortar and infantry guns. If it is not military uniforms, I even doubt that this is our army." Nakajima Masayoshi said to Mito Muto.

"If the information is true, then we have to re-plan our military plan to recapture Dagu Town." Mito Muto stood up and said to Feng Nakajima: "There is only one regiment, the other two regiments also Arrived at our place?"

"Ha Yi, the Independent Regiment and the New Second Regiment have also arrived at our place. The three regiments are arranged in the shape of a character. If we want to take action, I am afraid that the strength of one division is not enough." Nakajima Feng said that the New Second Regiment and The intelligence of the independent group also gave Muto Sanbo an explanation.

"Immediately report the situation here to the headquarters, and ask your Excellency the Commander to see what arrangements he has for our next move." Muto Sanbo said to Nakajima Feng, after all, he came here suddenly. The strength of a regiment, and there is a powerful new regiment among them, which instantly increases the pressure on his defense.

"Kayi, I will send a telegram to the commander right now, and tell him the information we have here." Nakajima Masayoshi said to Muto Mibo, and then he walked out of the office and sent a telegram to the headquarters.

When Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang returned to Zhaojiayu, they sat down and drank a cup of tea when they saw a telegraph operator walking in with a telegram.

"Reporting to the head of the regiment, the brigade commander called to inquire about our situation here." After speaking, the telegrapher put a piece of paper on the table.

Zhao Gang took the telegram and looked at it, then said: "Old Li, the brigade commander asked if we have any difficulties here, and also asked about the situation of the independent regiment and the new second regiment."

Of the three regiments, only Xinyi regiment has a telegraph machine, and the brigade headquarters is not as close as before, so the brigade commander can only contact the new second regiment and Xinyi regiment through Li Yunlong.

"Wait until you send a telegram to the brigade commander, saying that our New First Regiment has no difficulties. As for the Independent Regiment and New Second Regiment, since Lao Ding and Lao Kong have not sent us any news, then their side must be progressing smoothly. Otherwise, you will definitely ask us for help. How to say, you can think about it yourself, anyway, this matter is in your charge, and I don’t understand." Li Yunlong thought for a while and said Zhao Gang.

"Old Li, do you want to report that kind of thing to the brigade commander?" Zhao Gang raised his head and looked at Li Yunlong and said.

"Don't tell the brigade commander about this matter. After all, we don't know whether it will be successful or not. Let's talk about it after this season's grain harvest." Li Yunlong was afraid that the higher-ups would object if he said it, so it would be better to wait for the results to come out. .This will save him from wasting his tongue explaining to the higher authorities, it is better to speak with facts.

"Okay, that's it. I'm going to send a telegram to the brigade headquarters." Zhao Gang walked out of the regiment headquarters and followed the telegrapher to report to the brigade commander.

...............

On the side of the [-]th Regiment, Sun Ming had also found out about the situation of the Xinyi Regiment, and was reporting to Chu Yunfei at this time.

"Tuan Zuo, the investigation has been clear, and the regiment headquarters of the new regiment is now stationed in Zhaojiayu." After finishing speaking, Sun Ming took the map and drew a circle on the location of Zhaojiayu.

And Chu Yunfei looked at the location of Zhaojiayu on the map, thought for a moment and said: "No wonder Li Yunlong wants to take down Dagu Town. The location of Dagu Town is too important to him. If it is occupied by devils, once An emergency will definitely cut off his territory."

"Sun Ming, three people prepare horses. Later, we will go to the new regiment's station to meet Li Yunlong for a while."

"Tuan, will it be too abrupt to go this time? After all, we went in the name of a military inspection team last time, but this time..." Chu Yunfei called Sun Ming before he could finish his sentence broken.

"We and Xinyituan can be considered neighbors. How can we not meet our friends when they come? Don't worry, prepare the horses. By the way, tell Chief of Staff Fang that we are going to Xinyituan, just in case If there is an emergency, we can't be found." Chu Yunfei told Sun Ming.

Hearing Chu Yunfei's words, Sun Ming shook his head and went to carry out the order.

After everything was arranged properly, Chu Yunfei and Sun Ming rode towards Zhaojiayu on horseback.

"Reporting to the head of the regiment, the commander of the [-]th Regiment of the Jinsui Army is asking to see me." Hu Zi came to Li Yunlong's room and shouted at Li Yunlong.

"Chu Yunfei, why is he here?" Li Yunlong murmured to himself when he heard Huzi's words. After all, he and Chu Yunfei had only met once. , Chu Yunfei ran over, which really made him a little unpredictable.

"Old Li, what do you think Chu Yunfei is paying attention to, and why he came to see us at this time." Zhao Gang asked Li Yunlong. He felt that Chu Yunfei came here with malicious intentions.

"Who knows, let's talk about it when we meet. Anyway, people are here too, so I'll know what you're paying attention to when we meet again." Li Yunlong waved his hand and asked Huzi to invite him in.

"Brother Yunlong and Brother Zhao, I haven't seen you for a while. How are you two?" Chu Yunfei brought Sun Ming into the room and said to Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang, cupping their hands.

"Hey, what's so good, let's live it together. You can't compare with your head Chu, you have to rely on yourself for everything." Li Yunlong complained and said to Chu Yunfei: "Come on, brother Chu and grandson Brother, sit down quickly, let's sit down and talk if we have anything to say." Then he asked Huzi to take two chairs and pass them to them.

After sitting down, Chu Yunfei said: "Brother Yunlong, you are not mean enough. You didn't even say hello when you came to the old man's territory. If I didn't know that your Xinyi regiment took down Dagu Town, I wouldn't know that old man You're here."

"Haha, brother Yunfei, what are you talking about? Brother, I just arrived here, and I haven't even settled in a place to live. How can I rush to see you? If this is misunderstood, brother, even if I have eight mouths I can't explain clearly." Li Yunlong said to Chu Yunfei with a hahahaha smile.
