I'm killing enemies with my sword and exploding equipment

Chapter 977: Lao Li, you need to improve your cultural level!
Zhaojiayu at this moment.

Zhao Gang was coming to Li Yunlong with a telegram.

"Old Li, the brigade headquarters has synchronized intelligence. The Japanese's 2nd Independent Mixed Brigade was indeed assembled at noon the day before yesterday. It set out from Wucheng and headed southwest.

Now we have arrived at Cloud City."

Upon hearing this, Li Yunlong picked up a pencil and drew on a map twice, then frowned and complained:

“We left at noon the day before yesterday and only arrived at Cloud City today?
Aren’t the Japanese devils too slow?
I know. I know they are going to rescue Xinkou.

If you don’t know, you might think they are just wandering around aimlessly!”

It is only more than 200 miles from Wucheng to Yunzhong City.

It took the Japanese nearly two days and two nights to cover this distance, and Li Yunlong naturally despised them.

"Old Li, don't think about the Japanese based on the speed of our troops' rapid march!
We usually only have light weapons and not many bullets, and we only bring some dry food.

But the Japanese must bring artillery with them.

Intelligence from the brigade headquarters showed that when the 2nd Brigade set out from Wucheng, in addition to the two Type 2 infantry guns in each infantry battalion, there was also an additional reinforced artillery battalion with 12 75mm mountain guns and 6 Type 38 field guns.

So their current speed is not slow at all!"

Zhao Gang explained.

"Wow! They actually brought 18 heavy artillery pieces. It seems that this brigade is not easy to deal with."

Li Yunlong's expression also became a little solemn.

But he knew how sophisticated the Japanese artillery skills were in those days.

That really means you can hit wherever you point!

"Yeah! What should I do, Lao Li?

Should we send a telegram to Captain Yang and his men immediately, asking them to leave behind some harassing and delaying troops and then quickly withdraw to the base?

As for the mission of supporting Jizhong, let's see if the New 1st Regiment and the Independent Regiment can hurt the Japanese?"

Zhao Gang asked anxiously.

Li Yunlong did not panic. He threw down the pencil in his hand, thought for three seconds, and said:

"Don't worry. It's still nearly 400 miles from Yunzhong to Xinkou. It will take the Japanese at least three or four days to get there.

Lao Zhao, first inform Yang Yuanshan of the situation of the Japanese and let him decide whether to retreat or fight!
This guy definitely knows better than us whether they can swallow this brigade now, he won't do anything reckless!"

"All right.

I'll go right away. "

Zhao Gang nodded, turned and left.

However, at this moment, a telegraph operator came hurriedly and knocked on the door to report:

"Report, telegram from the Special Agents Group!"

"My goodness, this is really like speaking of the devil!"

Li Yunlong took the telegram from the other party with one step and started to check it.

He read very slowly. Zhao Gang was a little impatient. He waved his hand to let the telegraph operator go out and asked hurriedly:

"Old Li, what did Captain Yang say?"

Li Yun didn't even raise his head:
"Old Zhao, why are you in such a hurry?
I haven’t finished reading it yet!”

Zhao Gang couldn't help but roll his eyes when he heard this, and complained:
"Old Li, you still need to improve your cultural level.

In the future, our army will continue to expand, and your current level of education is not enough!"

Li Yunlong is not someone who listens to advice, and he immediately retorted:
"Improvement shit!
Now I can read maps, telegrams, and write reports, that’s enough!”

Seeing this guy reveal his reckless side again, Zhao Gang was so angry that his liver hurt.

But there's no way to argue with this guy.

Having been partners for so long, he knows the other's temper too well!

If you tease this guy again, he might open his mouth and bite you!

……

After a while, Li Yunlong finally finished reading the telegram and said to Zhao Gang:
"Yang Yuanshan said that he plans to send his artillery battalion to the city of Jinyang to bombard the Japanese and put pressure on them."

"What? An artillery battalion?
Captain Yang, are you kidding me?"

Zhao Gang's face was full of disbelief.

"Hey, this kid is a thief!
He would not let his artillery battalion fight alone.

He also mobilized the three regiments of the Wutai Division and the two regiments of the 358th Brigade to serve as guards for the artillery!"

Li Yunlong explained with a chuckle.

“Three plus two, that’s five groups.

But this is not enough, right?
Isn’t there still the Japanese 36th Division stationed in Jinyang City?
If they send any regiment, I'm afraid these five regiments will be defeated!"

Zhao Gang was worried.

"Old Zhao, don't worry.

Yang Yuanshan’s artillery battalion now has 48 75mm mountain cannons!

The Japanese in Jinyang City must have been so stunned by the explosion that they might not dare to send anyone out of the city."

Li Yunlong felt that although Yang Yuanshan’s plan was not absolutely safe, it was definitely worth a try.

“48 75mm mountain guns?

Why are the artillery pieces of this special forces regiment’s artillery battalion increasing in number?

I remember that before they moved west, they reported the troop organization, but they didn't mention that this artillery battalion had so many guns, right?"

Zhao Gang was shocked.

This is not the number of useful artillery pieces that an artillery battalion should have, but rather a reinforced artillery regiment!
“I don’t care where he got the gun from.

Anyway, as long as we can kill the devils, that's all that matters."

Li Yunlong certainly knew that there must be something fishy going on with the secret service group, but he didn't intend to care.

He could even imagine that the brigade commander, division commander and even higher-level leaders had guessed that Yang Yuanshan was up to something, but so what?

As long as Yang Yuanshan doesn't cause any trouble, the leaders above will definitely protect him!
After hearing what this cunning guy said, Zhao Gang didn't say anything.

I could only change the subject and ask:

"Then Lao Li, the Special Forces Regiment plans to use the artillery battalion to put pressure on Jinyang City. Will their main force remain in the Xinkou area?"

"That's right.

Yang Yuanshan planned to use the main force of the Special Forces Regiment to block the 2nd Brigade.

It's still in the telegram, urging us to find out the location of this group of devils as soon as possible."

As Li Yunlong spoke, he handed the telegram in his hand to Zhao Gang.

Zhao Gang took it and read it quickly while nodding:
"Okay then. I'll go and sync the information with them right now.

But Lao Li, I still suggest that you give an order to Captain Yang and his men, telling them not to fight the Japanese head-on.

As long as we can delay the actions of the Japanese and wait for the support troops from the Yanbei, Suinan and other bases to arrive, it will be much easier to deal with them.

I estimate that with the weapons and equipment of a division this time, it can attract at least a dozen or twenty regiments of troops, right?

By then, the Japanese will have to retreat in a panic, not to mention a brigade or even a division! "

“No need for nonsense!

I trust Yang Yuanshan to do the job. "

Li Yunlong said categorically.

Then he thought for a second and arranged:

"Well, Lao Zhao, you send a telegram to Lao Kong, asking them to stop messing around in Yuci and approach Jinyang City directly from the south.

Once we hear the artillery battalion of the special forces regiment shelling Jinyang City, we will immediately attack the artillery towers and bunkers outside Jinyang City, creating a situation where the Japanese can attack from both the north and the south. "

"it is good!"

……

Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang's replies were quickly sent to Yuwangling via radio waves.

When Yang Yuanshan heard the telegraph operator report that the Japanese 2nd Brigade had arrived in Yunzhong City, his face immediately lit up with joy.

On the map, he gestured carefully.

At this time, Zhan Haishan walked in from outside, and seeing his appearance, he hurriedly asked:

"Captain, what are you doing?"

Yang Yuanshan came back to his senses and saw that it was him who came back. He immediately spoke:
"These 900 new recruits have been assigned so quickly?"

“Hey, Commander, didn’t you say that the artillery battalion should be given priority?
I gave the 600 smarter ones among them to Gao Yuanzhi.

The other 300 people were all assigned to the second battalion.

They have suffered heavy casualties before, and now they are about to take on the main task of blocking the Japanese 2nd Brigade, so it is necessary to recruit more people. "

Zhan Haishan explained.

“Hahaha, Lao He must be happy if you do this.

But Wang Quanfa, Li Dahe and even Zhao Tietou will probably glare at you later!"

Yang Yuanshan laughed.

"It's okay, aren't Lao Zhou, Han Yang, and Zhao Tietou recruiting soldiers?
We will then provide new soldiers to their three battalions." The troops were about to go to war, so Zhan Haishan was not afraid that the three battalion commanders would come and cause trouble for him.

At worst, I can just put the blame on Yang Yuanshan and say he arranged it.

He just didn't believe that these battalion commanders dared to challenge Yang Yuanshan!
……

Yang Yuanshan didn't know that Zhan Haishan had learned bad things from him.

After some jokes, let's get down to business:

"Haishan, it's just right that you're back.

Political Commissar Zhao also reported that the Japanese 2nd Brigade had arrived at Yunzhong City.

We need to discuss how to deal with them."

“Just arrived at Cloud City?

It seems that it will take them several more days to reach Xinkou!

Commander, should we send people to seize Yanmen Pass?

Once we seize this pass and continue to attack at each step, we will surely defeat the Japanese and cause them heavy casualties."

As a veteran on the battlefield, Zhan Haishan is of course very familiar with the geography of the entire Jin area.

You don't need to look at the map to know the location of Cloud City.

Hearing his suggestion, Yang Yuanshan's eyes lit up:
"Yanmen Pass? That's a good idea.

However, there is no need to block the enemy step by step. The area north of Xinkou is all occupied by the Japanese, and we have no idea of ​​the enemy's situation.

If we were to send troops to Yanmen Pass, we would have to fight these Japanese devils.

It's not necessary.

Moreover, the Japanese must have garrisons at Yanmen Pass.

It would be better to send a small force to give it a try at Yanmen Pass.

As long as we can blow up the Japanese artillery, we will win this battle easily."

When he mentioned the artillery, Zhan Haishan's heart tightened and he quickly asked:
"Captain, how many artillery pieces did this group of devils bring?"

"Not counting the Type 12 infantry guns in their infantry battalions, there are also 75 6mm mountain guns and 38 Type field guns."

"Wow, these are 18 heavy artillery pieces!

Not easy to deal with! "

Zhan Haishan was slightly surprised and couldn't help but sigh, his face very solemn.

“Yes, a brigade with so many artillery pieces cannot be underestimated.

Stronger than the 9th Brigade we just defeated."

Yang Yuanshan nodded.

Afterwards, he pointed at the map and discussed with Zhan Haishan for more than ten minutes, and decided on a general battle plan.

He took out a pen, wrote a note, put it in an envelope, and then called two messengers and ordered:
“Go find Wei Dayong right away and have their special operations company leave the necessary guard posts and continue to guard at the original location.

All the rest of the people will go forward to Yanmen Pass and find a way to plant bombs on the main roads to destroy the Japanese artillery!

The equipment I prepared for them is right here, just give it to Wei Dayong."

"Yes!"

The two messengers agreed, took the envelope, and hurried away immediately.

Yang Yuanshan had an idea and placed a batch of ammunition and flamethrower fuel tanks in a forest fifty miles away.

——That was exactly the location described in the note he had just written to Wei Dayong.

……

11 o'clock in the morning.

Gao Yuanzhi and Wang Gensheng arrived at the entrance of Yang Yuanshan's command department and saw Yang Yuanshan in a daze and Zhan Haishan lying on a slightly flat stone writing furiously, so they hurriedly reported in loudly.

"Captain, Deputy Captain, here we come!"

Yang Yuanshan turned around, waved for them to come in, and then asked:

"How many people are there in your artillery battalion now?"

"The deputy commander just added 600 people to our team. We now have more than 1700 people!"

Gao Yuanzhi answered quickly.

"More than 1700 people, great!"

Yang Yuanshan was very satisfied.

Arrange immediately:

"I told you two before that we need to form a second artillery battalion. This must be done now!"

Since Yang Yuanshan had already told them about this before, they were not surprised at this moment.

He quickly asked:

"Captain, how do we arrange for the officers of the Second Artillery Battalion?"

Yang Yuanshan stared at Wang Gensheng and asked:

"Gensheng, how about you become the commander of the Second Artillery Battalion?"

Wang Gensheng was shocked when he heard this and waved his hands quickly:

"Captain, I... I am too poorly educated to be this position!

How about asking Ding Yongkuan, the third company commander of our artillery battalion, to come?"

"Ding Yongkuan? He is a talented person."

Yang Yuanshan nodded.

After a brief thought, he gave the order without hesitation:

"That's it, Gensheng. You should be the battalion commander, and let Ding Yongkuan be your deputy battalion commander."

"Captain, how about I become the deputy battalion commander?

Ding Yongkuan is more accurate than me in shooting, so he is more suitable to be the battalion commander!"

Wang Gensheng still had little confidence that he could be a good battalion commander and continued to refuse.

This time, Yang Yuanshan was a little unhappy.

I really want to knock open this guy's wooden head to see what's inside.

Who says that the artillery battalion commander should be someone who can fire more accurately?
Zhan Haishan noticed that Yang Yuanshan looked unhappy, and he quickly stepped forward and said:

"Captain Wang, I have discussed your appointment as battalion commander with the regiment commander.

We all think that you can do a good job as the battalion commander, so don't shirk your responsibility. This is an appointment by the organization!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Gensheng's face suddenly became serious and he immediately saluted to receive the order.

"Yes!"

"it is good."

Yang Yuanshan nodded with satisfaction.

Subsequent arrangements:

“As for personnel, Yuanzhi, you keep 1000 people, and the rest will be given to Gensheng.

Gensheng, with about 700 of you, it's just right to form two companies first. One company will be equipped with the twelve 12mm heavy mortars, and the other will be equipped with twelve 120mm mountain cannons.

I have also placed these 12 75mm mountain cannons in the valley above. You can move them later."

"Yes!"

The two of them agreed loudly.

Gao Yuanzhi was somewhat suspicious because he didn't see any mountain cannon when he was moving the mortars in the valley just now!

Could it be blocked by the ammunition box?

How could he know that Yang Yuanshan's decision to place the equipment was just a matter of thought!
At this time, Yang Yuanshan continued:
“As for the cadres, you can discuss the transfer among yourselves.

Just report the results to Lao Zhou later.

You only have today."

"Oh, just one day?
Captain, isn't this a bit too hasty?
It will take time for us to arrange the cadres and assign the soldiers.”

Gao Yuanzhi frowned and tried to gain favor from Yang Yuanshan with a wry smile.

"I don't care, it's your business.

I have only one request: starting tomorrow, both of your battalions must be able to fight!

Understand? "

At this moment, Yang Yuanshan was extremely domineering.

Compared with him, all the domineering CEOs in later generations are nothing but trash in an instant.

Hearing his words, Gao Yuanzhi and Wang Gensheng were startled and quickly shouted out their orders:

"understand!"
