Anti-Japanese War: I have unlimited assistance

Chapter 132 This little scholar is quite interesting.

Ding Wei finished reading the intelligence information for the second time, put down the information in his hand and said.

"In terms of overall strength, we are far behind the Japanese. On the plains, we can't stop this mechanized Japanese brigade."

"Once the Japanese's 100-plus tanks and armored vehicles deploy, I'm afraid Lao Kong and I's two regiments will suffer huge losses."

"Your battle plan against the Japanese poison gas mortar battalion really hits the enemy's weak spot."

"But our two regiments are not good enough. Our artillery firepower is not good, our machine gun firepower is average, and we have no anti-tank means."

"Hey hey hey..."

Li Yunlong chuckled in his characteristic voice:
"Without anti-tank means, how dare I let the main forces of your two regiments go head-on against the Japanese 1st Independent Mixed Brigade? Wouldn't the brigade commander have me killed?"

"Among the weapons our regiment received a few days ago, there were two types of anti-tank equipment, one of which was a bazooka rocket launcher with an armor penetration thickness of 2 mm."

"The other one is a 20mm cannon that can penetrate 30mm thick armor plates."

"The thickest part of the Japanese medium tank's armor is only 25 mm. These two weapons can easily penetrate the Japanese armored vehicles and tanks."

"12 guns, 5 bases of shells, 50 tons of food, and 1000 gas masks are my final price."

"If you two don't want to do this, Old Li can understand. After all, the risk is quite high."

"I'll ask Blind Cheng and Captain Xu of the 771st Regiment. They should be interested."

At present, the new regiment has about thirty or forty artillery pieces of various calibers, but only 15 60mm mortars and 2 infantry guns are equipped to the troops.

The other infantry guns, 82mm mortars and 13 75mm mountain guns were just received and are still in the warehouse.

The new 12st regiment was short of artillery, so Li Yunlong planned to give Ding Wei and Kong Jie guns each to enhance the combat effectiveness of their two regiments.

Ding Wei thought for a moment and nodded, "Our New Third Regiment will do this job."

"Old Li is right. The greater the risk, the higher the reward." Kong Jie quickly followed suit, his tone somewhat impatient: "Our independent regiment has also done it. Old Li, when will the troops set out?"

Even if equipped with two anti-tank weapons, the New 1rd Regiment and the Independent Regiment might not be able to defeat the Japanese Independent Mixed st Brigade.

But after all, it is an anti-tank weapon, so it can have some effect, at least it gives us confidence.

Is there any battle in this world that has a 100% chance of winning?
The price offered by Li Yunlong was enough for Ding Wei and Kong Jie to take the risk.

Li Yunlong thought for a moment and said, "We'll set out tomorrow evening. Our unit is quite large, and we might be spotted by Japanese reconnaissance planes if we march during the day."

"Old Li," Ding Wei asked, "Have you consulted your superiors regarding this operation?"

Li Yunlong said angrily, "Of course I have to ask the superiors for permission. Without their consent, how dare I mobilize your two regiments? You two are not afraid, but I am. It was not easy for me, Old Li, to accumulate this little wealth. If I am dismissed, won't I be working for someone else?"

Ding Wei and Kong Jie are not easy to deal with either.

It looks like even without asking their superiors, they have to follow me.

Li Yunlong would not be punished for arbitrarily mobilizing his New 1st Regiment. After all, Li Yunlong had a chance to fight independently.

But if the New Third Regiment and the Independent Regiment followed without orders from their superiors, the problem would be very serious.

The three regiments commanded their troops to leave their bases and carry out combat missions without permission from their superiors. It is possible that all three brothers would have to go to the headquarters to lead the horses for their leaders.

Kong Jie asked, "Will our superiors approve of this battle plan? After all, the risks are too great."

Kong Jie thought, no wonder everyone calls Li Yunlong Crazy Li, only Li Yunlong would dare to carry out such a bold plan.

Ding Wei couldn't help but feel frightened. Even if Li Yunlong was given a division, would he dare to attack Taiyuan?

But what Li Yunlong gave was so much that Ding Wei and Kong Jie couldn't help but feel their hearts beating fast.

Li Yunlong said confidently, "The risk is a bit high, but as long as the operational plan and emergency plan are comprehensive enough, the superiors will definitely agree."

There is another thing Li Yunlong did not say. As long as the combat plan and emergency plan are comprehensive enough and the benefits are great enough, the superiors will most likely agree.

"Old Li," Kong Jie asked, "What do you need us to do now?"

Li Yunlong said, "You don't have to do anything now. After drinking, go back to the regiment to prepare weapons and ammunition, and prepare at least 6 days of dry food. I will go to the brigade headquarters tonight to ask the brigade commander for instructions. After the brigade headquarters agrees, I will call to inform you. Sleep during the day and set off in the evening."

"Okay!"*2
After Ding Wei and Kong Jie finished drinking, they immediately left Shangzhuang Village together.

Li Yunlong then called Political Commissar Zhong, Zhao Gang and Zhang Dabiao.

Li Yunlong dictated and Zhao Gang wrote down the plan as they began to draft the combat plan and emergency response plan.

After listening to Li Yunlong's oral narration of the battle plan and emergency plan, Political Commissar Zhong, Zhao Gang and Zhang Dabiao all couldn't help but feel a little frightened.

Li Yunlong looked at the battle plan and emergency plan prepared by Zhao Gang and nodded with satisfaction.

As expected of a top student at Yenching University, his handwriting is so damn beautiful.

Li Yunlong has also been practicing calligraphy recently, but his handwriting looks like an ant crawling on the ground.

Li Yunlong took out a map, drew a cross-curve on it, and called the brigade headquarters.

Then Li Yunlong went to the brigade headquarters with the combat plan, intelligence information and maps.

Not long after, Li Yunlong arrived at the brigade headquarters with his guards.

After reading Li Yunlong's battle plan, intelligence data, and the interspersed curves on the map, the brigade commander cursed the Japanese who released the poison gas. At the same time, he was also terrified by Li Yunlong's battle plan.

However, the benefits of destroying this Japanese poison gas mortar battalion made the brigade commander very excited.

Oops, it's a heart-pounding feeling.

Compared with Ding Wei and Kong Jie, the brigade commander thought more. If Li Yunlong's combat plan could succeed, this operation would not only have the opportunity to seize the Japanese mortars, but also earn 36 82mm mortars and 5 basic artillery shells. The Japanese soldiers killed could also earn guns and bullets.

It's okay to mobilize one regiment, but the brigade commander does not have the authority to mobilize the main forces of three core regiments at once.

Although the New 1st Regiment, the Independent Regiment and the New 3rd Regiment are nominally core regiments, they are already at the level of main force regiments in terms of combat effectiveness and equipment.

So the brigade commander had no choice but to ask the division headquarters for instructions.

The brigade commander's request for instructions from the division headquarters indicated that he had agreed to the battle plan.

After discussion, the division headquarters agreed to Li Yunlong's battle plan.

However, Li Yunlong also took the opportunity to request some support from the division headquarters, including artillery, bazookas and machine guns.

After the battle, these artillery pieces, bazookas and machine guns had to be returned to the division headquarters.

At the brigade headquarters, the brigade commander personally reminded Li Yunlong of some details that needed to be paid attention to, such as confidentiality must be maintained, the troops must not be exposed in advance, if the whereabouts of the troops were exposed in advance, they must not be attacked by force, for example, after success, they must not engage with the enemy and should retreat quickly.

By the time Li Yunlong was personally guided by the brigade commander at the brigade headquarters and revised some details of the combat plan, march and emergency plan, it was already 10 o'clock in the evening when he returned to the headquarters of the New st Regiment in Shangzhuang Village after dinner.

"My superiors have approved my battle plan."

Li Yunlong took a sip of water and said to Zhong Zhicheng:

"Old Zhong, you lead the new recruits to stay at the garrison, and I will lead the veteran troops to Taigu to implement the battle plan."

The new recruits have just joined the new regiment. Zhong Zhicheng has divided the new recruits into two new recruit battalions, and will then assign them to the main battalion after they complete their new recruit training.

"Okay!" Zhong Zhicheng nodded.

The new regiment needed someone to take charge of the base, and Li Yunlong's ability to lead troops in battle was better than his, so Political Commissar Zhong did not hesitate at all.

Zhao Gang said, "Captain, I would like to apply to join this combat operation."

"you?"

Li Yunlong looked at Zhao Gang and frowned:
"Xiao Zhao, you'd better stay at the base. The 150-kilometer forced march alone will be enough to make you sick."

Zhao Gang is the only top student in the new regiment, and Li Yunlong doesn't want him to die so early.

"Captain."

But Zhao Gang was firm in his attitude:

"I insist on participating in this operation. I, Zhao Gang, cannot let people say that a combat staff officer with an intellectual background is a loser who can't even handle a forced march. How can he be a combat staff officer?"

"This little scholar is quite interesting..."

Li Yunlong narrowed his eyes and finally nodded:
"Okay, I approve your participation in this operation, but you must stay within 10 steps of me at all times."

Zhao Gang: “Yes!”

Li Yunlong's face was serious. "Zhao Gang, immediately issue orders to all the companies and platoons directly under the battalions except the recruit battalion. Prepare six days of dry food. Sleep during the day tomorrow to conserve your energy."

"Yes!"

Zhao Gang turned around and went to convey orders to the companies directly under each battalion.

Zhao Gang has an excellent memory. Although he carries a pen and a notebook with him, he can convey orders word for word without writing them down in the notebook.

Before the Guangyang ambush, the special forces company was sent out by Li Yunlong to carry out the task of recruiting people with the potential to be special forces kings based on the list provided by Boss Lin. At present, Wei Qiang and the soldiers of the special forces company have not returned yet.

However, more than 100 poisoned soldiers have recovered and returned to the team. There are currently about 750 veterans of the New st Regiment stationed at the base who can participate in the battle.

Li Yunlong thought for a moment and then ordered, "Huzi, go get Lao Wang, the head of the logistics department."

Zhang Hu: “Yes!”

"Report."

After a while, the voice of Lao Wang, the director of the logistics department, was heard outside the door.

Li Yunlong: "Come in."

Lao Wang walked into the regimental headquarters and saluted. "Captain, are you looking for me?"

Lao Wang was also a veteran of the Red Army. He had experienced climbing grasslands and snow-capped mountains, and was very experienced in all kinds of things, especially his pistol skills, which were very superb. He had also been educated before and had a good foundation of knowledge and culture. He was good at budgeting and was a real elite veteran.

However, when he was in northern Shaanxi, Lao Wang was seriously injured in a battle with the Northeast Army. From then on, he could no longer carry a gun to the battlefield. Li Yunlong then arranged him to the position of director of logistics to make use of his expertise in cost-effectiveness.

Li Yunlong looked up from the map and asked, "Old Wang, how much assets does our New 1st Regiment have now?"

When the team leader asked this, Lao Wang was no longer sleepy and a smile quickly appeared on his face.
