I'm killing enemies with my sword and exploding equipment

Zhaojiayu, Li Yunlong’s command post.

After unifying their thoughts, Li Yunlong, Zhao Gang and Yang Yuanshan discussed the specific deployment in northwestern Shanxi after the main force of the special forces regiment moved eastward.

After some discussion, Li Yunlong finally decided to exchange the defense areas of the New 1st Regiment and the New 2nd Regiment, and let Ding Wei stay in the west, together with some troops left by the Special Service Regiment, to keep an eye on the old devils in Jinyang City.

Kong Jie led the New Second Regiment to station near Heyuan County and was responsible for the defense of the east.

Considering the weak strength of the New Second Regiment, Li Yunlong decided to move his divisional command headquarters to Heyuan County as well.

In this way, his guard regiment and the newly formed mountain artillery regiment could be reinforced to this area to be on the safe side.

As for the independent regiment, it is still deployed on the Shuiquan line, ready to move eastward to meet the special forces regiment at any time.

……

The small meeting of three people lasted for several hours.

By the time we finished talking, it was already dark.

Li Yunlong asked Zhao Gang to arrange a yard for Yang Yuanshan to live in, while he himself went to the telecommunications room.

He gave two orders to the telegraph operator:

"Send a telegram to the brigade headquarters, saying that I, Li Yunlong, agree to transfer the special forces regiment to Hebei.

They will set off as soon as possible and arrive in place quickly! "

"Send a telegram to Ding Wei of the New 1st Regiment and Kong Jie of the New 2nd Regiment, asking them to immediately exchange defense zones tomorrow morning!"

"Yes!"

The telegraph operator agreed and sat down to work.

……

Not to mention the brigade headquarters, the brigade commander received Li Yunlong's telegram and couldn't help but feel suspicious about his honesty.

As for the New 1st and New 2nd Regiments, Ding Wei and Kong Jie were naturally very puzzled when they received the telegram late at night.

I thought to myself: What’s wrong with Old Li now?

Why did they suddenly ask us to switch defense?

But they also know that military orders are as heavy as mountains, and now is not the time to bargain or quibble.

In addition, they had almost rested for some time and were eager to take action, so they immediately found their political commissar, had a brief discussion, and reached a consensus.

Then they immediately ordered their respective troops to pack up and prepare for the rotation of guard tomorrow morning!

Ding Wei, in particular, had a vague feeling that Li Yunlong might be preparing to attack Jinyang City.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but get extremely excited and muttered softly:
"If this old Li really attacks Jinyang City, it will be too exciting!"

……

In Zhaojiayu, Li Yunlong came out of the telecommunications room. Yang Xiuqin had already prepared dinner and immediately told him:

"Old Li, go and invite Political Commissar Zhao and Commander Yang to come for dinner. I made some mixed flour steamed bread today. It's delicious!"

Li Yunlong nodded and called Zhao Gang and Yang Yuanshan to have dinner together.

At the dinner table, Yang Yuanshan couldn't help feeling envious when he saw how harmoniously Yang Xiuqin and Li Yunlong were getting along.

Couldn't help but joke:

"Leader, you've been married for quite some time, when will you give birth to a son to add to our team?

Is there something wrong with my body?

How about going to the field hospital and letting Doctor Liang take a look at you?"

As soon as he said this, Yang Xiuqin blushed.

Li Yunlong put down his chopsticks, slapped him on the back of the head, and cursed:

"It's your damn body that has problems!

I'm in very good health!

The reason why I let your sister-in-law get pregnant now is because the war is urgent and we can’t delay!

After I drive away the devils, I will give birth to eight or ten sons, just for you to see!"

Yang Yuanshan and Zhao Gang both laughed when they heard this, not knowing whether to believe it or not.

……

That night, Yang Yuanshan stayed in Zhaojiayu.

The next morning, after breakfast, he took his men, got on a motorcycle, and returned to Qixia Town.

After asking the guard to bring him some hot water and washing his face thoroughly, Yang Yuanshan ordered the regiment's communicator:
"Order all battalion and regimental officers of the regiment to report to me within half an hour!"

"Yes!"

Seeing the communicator running out of the house, Yang Yuanshan rushed to the telecommunications room again.

The communications company commander Wu Jun was somewhat surprised to see him return.

Just as I was about to open my mouth to greet him, I heard him give a sonorous and powerful order:
"Wu Jun, send a message to Wei Dayong of the Special Operations Company, ordering them to immediately end their mission and return to Qixia Town!"

Seeing how anxious he was, Wu Jun felt a chill all over his body and couldn't help but shout:
"Yes!"

He knew very well in his heart that something big was going to happen in the regiment!

……

When Yang Yuanshan summoned them, the cadres of the special forces regiment naturally did not dare to neglect them. They immediately put down their work and rushed to the regiment headquarters.

Zhao Li was the closest and arrived first.

Curiously asked Yang Yuanshan, who was still dusty and covered in dirt:

"Captain, you're back? What happened?"

Yang Yuanshan did not answer his question directly, but said:
“I’ll talk to the others when they get here.

A few days ago you talked about the transaction with the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army. How is it going?

Are they willing to exchange food and supplies for our things?"

"Hey, Captain, weapons and medicines these days are more useful than gold.

How could the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army refuse?

As soon as they heard that I didn't want money but only food and cloth, they agreed without hesitation.

It seems that for them, these things are easier to get than gold, silver and oceans.

We have already negotiated a deal for 2000 old guns and 10 boxes of penicillin. We estimate that within 10 days at most, their people will be able to deliver a large amount of food and cloth. "

Zhao Li quickly answered excitedly.

"Yes. For us, the more food and cloth, the better."

Yang Yuanshan nodded with satisfaction.

While the two were talking, Zhou Xianpei, Han Yang and others arrived one after another.

Soon his room was packed with people.

Yang Yuanshan looked around and saw that everyone was present. He did not keep anyone in suspense and spoke directly to the point:
"Comrades, this time the leadership called me to Zhaojiayu, it was an order from the headquarters.

Let our special forces regiment leave northwestern Shanxi and head to central Hebei!
Rebuild the base there, connect it with northwest Shanxi, expand the strategic depth of our army, and be prepared to cut off the Pinghan Road and Jinpu Road at any time!

Beat up the little devils there!"

When he said this, everyone present was shocked.

Han Yang couldn't help but scream:
"What? Leaving Northwest Shanxi?
This...isn't this too sudden?"

Yang Yuanshan nodded:
"You all know the results of the Japanese Liaodong Army's 1st and 8th Divisions' sweep in Central Hebei.

The leaders were worried that if they mobilized other troops there, they would not be able to survive in the short term, so they chose our special forces regiment.

I think this is our honor!"

After hearing what he said, the atmosphere in the room became lively again.

Everyone looked proud and honored.

In our army, let alone regimental-level units, even in the second and third-level divisions, there are only a handful of units with the strength of the Special Forces Regiment!
……

But after the joy, some people couldn't help but become worried.

Zhou Xianpei was the first to stand up and ask:
"Commander, if our entire regiment goes to Jizhong, what will happen to the field hospital?
There are still many wounded people recuperating inside, I'm afraid it's not convenient to move them away!"

Zhao Li also said:

"Captain, can the leader give us a few days to set off?
The batch of cloth and food that the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army traded with us has not arrived yet."

Of course, Yang Yuanshan had considered these questions.

He immediately extended his hand to signal them to stay calm.

Then he replied:
“Although the leaders at the headquarters gave us the order for our entire regiment to go to Jizhong.

However, after considering the strength of our special forces regiment and discussing with my superiors, I decided to only dispatch a part of the troops.

So the problem you are worried about is not a problem anymore." "Ah, this... this is not considered a violation of military orders?"

Zhou Xianpei was dumbfounded.

I feel that Yang Yuanshan and Li Yunlong are really bold.

They even dared to compromise on the orders from the headquarters leaders.

Yang Yuanshan chuckled:
"What counts?

It's reasonable that it will take a little longer for such a large army like ours to move from northwestern Shanxi to central Hebei, right?
Besides, even if we send a few battalions, it will be enough to give the Japanese in Central Hebei a shock from our special forces regiment.

There is no need for the whole group to be present.

As long as we can complete the task of rebuilding the base and eliminating the Japanese, the headquarters leaders will not care how many people we go there. "

After hearing what he said, everyone present felt that it made sense and nodded repeatedly involuntarily.

But Zhou Xianpei still hesitated:

"But--"

"It's nothing!"

Yang Yuanshan understood what he meant, but still interrupted him firmly.

Give him a reassurance:

"Lao Zhou, don't worry.

I discussed this decision with my leaders and Political Commissar Zhao.

If the headquarters leaders really want to hold us responsible, then we leaders will be responsible for taking the blame!"

Upon hearing that Li Yunlong would take the blame, Zhou Xianpei had nothing to say.

He had worked at the headquarters and was well aware of Li Yunlong's qualifications and his status in the eyes of the leadership.

Even though the leaders cursed at this guy when they mentioned him, they actually loved him.

Otherwise, with the mistakes he made, if it were someone else, he would have been shot eight times already!

At this time, Xu Wei, He Yunfu and other battalion commanders could not help but ask in unison:

"Captain, which battalions are you going to take to Jizhong?"

Everyone knows that if they are asked to stay behind, they will most likely be responsible for defensive tasks.

Unless the Japs launch a large-scale sweep, there won't be any major battles to fight.

So there is no doubt that they all want to follow Yang Yuanshan.

Only by following him can we fight a big battle!

……

Yang Yuanshan called the cadres to a meeting in order to arrange which battalions would stay behind and which would go to Ji Zhong.

Now that Xu Wei and the others were asking about it, I stopped trying to hide it and wasted time.

He answered calmly:
"The terrain in central Hebei is flat and suitable for mechanized troop operations.

So this time, I will take the Rapid Infantry Battalion and Gao Yuanzhi's 1st Artillery Battalion away.

Add to that the 1st and 2nd Infantry Battalions, the Guard Battalion, the Tank Battalion and the Special Operations Company, and that's about it.

By the way, the baggage battalion will also send a company with food and supplies to follow me."

As soon as he said this, the battalion commanders whose names were called cheered.

But those whose names were not called could not help but look very unhappy.

Feng Shuanglin, the commander of the 1st Anti-aircraft Artillery Battalion, wanted to struggle a bit, but he said quickly:
"Commander, if you go to central Hebei, the Japanese air threat will be greater than in northwestern Shanxi, right?
Aren't you going to take our anti-aircraft artillery battalion with you as an air defense force?"

“No more.

Not to mention that it would be difficult for the Japanese to recover their air force in a short period of time.

Even if it does recover, the terrain in central Hebei is open, and as long as we spread out widely, their bombers won't be able to do anything to us."

As a time traveler, Yang Yuanshan knew how vast the Ji Zhong Plain was.

So he ruthlessly rejected Feng Shuanglin.

After all, once he took away too much power, the power left in northwest Shanxi would be greatly weakened.

The commander of the Fifth Infantry Battalion, Zhao Tietou, also jumped out and said:

"Captain, why are you taking the first and second battalions with you and not the fifth battalion?

All the soldiers in our battalion are unwilling to accept this!"

Before Yang Yuanshan could reply, Xu Wei stood up and confronted him:

“Old Zhao, what’s wrong with taking our battalion?
Our first battalion has strong combat effectiveness. If you, Old Zhao, don't accept it, how about we practice with each other?"

"Practice, practice, who is afraid of whom?"

Zhao Tietou is not someone who is willing to admit defeat.

Roll up your sleeves immediately.

Yang Yuanshan quickly stopped the two of them in a cold voice:
"I have my own considerations on which battalions will go to Jizhong and which ones will stay behind.

Stop yelling at me!"

After he said this, Zhao Tietou and Xu Wei dared not make trouble anymore and involuntarily shrank their heads back.

……

Seeing that they had behaved themselves, Yang Yuanshan looked at Han Yang and Zhan Haishan, feeling a little unsure about who to let stay behind.

Zhan Haishan saw his hesitation and immediately volunteered:
"Captain, we have left six or seven battalions of troops here. Without a unified command, I'm afraid we won't be able to exert our combat effectiveness.

Or I'll stay behind."

Yang Yuanshan knew that Zhan Haishan was better than Han Yang in terms of independent command, so he nodded immediately:

"Okay, then you stay."

Then he reminded:

"Haishan, this time the leadership will transfer the New 1st Regiment to Shou County to work with our remaining troops to keep an eye on the Japanese in Jinyang City.

You must send more scouts to find out the movements of the Japanese.

If there is any situation, please send a telegram to me and the leader immediately! "

"Don't worry, Captain. I will pay attention."

Zhan Haishan was also a little excited.

Next, I will independently command six or seven fully equipped main battalions, a total of more than ten thousand troops!

It’s unimaginable!
He thought that his old unit, the 772nd Regiment, certainly didn't have such strength?

After all, Yang Yuanshan left him two anti-aircraft artillery battalions and a 120mm heavy mortar battalion!
Next, Yang Yuanshan instructed Zhou Xianpei:
"Lao Zhou, go find Dean Liang and Lao Liu, and ask Lao Liu to select doctors and some medical staff to go with us.

As for medical equipment and medicines, you don't need to bring them.

I'll find a way to get it when we get to Jizhong."

There are still a lot of medicines, medical equipment and X-ray machines in his system warehouse, so he made such instructions.

Zhou Xianpei nodded:
"Okay, I'll go to the hospital later."

……

After spending several hours, Yang Yuanshan finally arranged all the matters.

Then he sent everyone down to prepare.

As for himself, he took a shower, changed into a clean military uniform, and went to the field hospital to say goodbye to Tian Yu.

Now I am going to Ji Zhong, I don’t know when we will meet again.

There have been no major battles in northwestern Shanxi recently, and the doctors in the field hospitals are not as busy as before.

Tian Yu was resting in his room at the time. When he heard that Yang Yuanshan was coming, he came out happily to meet Yang Yuanshan.

Yang Yuanshan handed over the wild flowers he had just picked from the grass:
"Tian Yu, this is for you."

Tian Yu took it and felt happy.

Although this thing can be found everywhere, after being carefully picked by Yang Yuanshan and tied into bundles, it suddenly has a different taste.

Next, the two chatted about everything under the sun, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

About half an hour later, Yang Yuanshan told Tian Yu that he was going to lead his troops to Ji Zhong.

Upon hearing that he might not see Yang Yuanshan again for several months or even years, Tian Yu naturally felt very reluctant.

But she also knew that as a soldier, Yang Yuanshan's duty was to obey the orders of his superiors, so she could only repeatedly remind him to take care of himself.

Then she suppressed her shyness and threw herself into his arms.
