Jagged Changjin Lake: Kill the enemy and become stronger

Brigadier Chen slapped his forehead and said with a long sigh.

When he received the first telegram, he hadn't responded yet.

When the telegram from the [-]nd Regiment arrived, his expression changed.

After reading Ding Wei's telegram, he knew that his guess was right.

"Is Li Yunlong crazy?"

Chief of Staff Qin finally couldn't hold back and asked.

"I'm going crazy too, I'm mad at Li Yunlong."

Brigadier Chen glared at him and said angrily.

After finishing speaking, he turned around and was about to leave.

"Brigade Commander, are you waiting for the call back from the Independent Regiment?"

The independent regiment hasn't responded yet, and Chief of Staff Qin doesn't know whether he should wait any longer.

"Wait a fart, everyone has run away, who will call you back?"

Brigadier Chen scolded him again.

Now he is angry when he sees Chief of Staff Qin.

As long as Chief of Staff Qin came to ask him 10 minutes earlier, the [-]nd Regiment would have stopped the Independent Regiment.

It's good now, I can only watch the independent group go wild.

"By the way, order the regiments to enter a state of combat readiness and be ready to fight at any time. Also, don't make any noise and try not to attract the attention of the enemy."

Brigadier Chen walked to the door, thought of something again, and hurriedly ordered.

No one asked why, but everyone knew that something big was going to happen.

"Brigade Commander, Brigadier Commander, what's the matter?"

Chief of Staff Qin's eyesight was still a bit weak, and he didn't realize that Brigadier Chen didn't want to see him now.

As soon as Brigadier Chen walked out of the telegraph room, he caught up with him and asked.

"you..."

Brigadier Chen pointed at Chief of Staff Qin and scolded him, but after thinking about it, he couldn't blame him entirely, so he suppressed the fire again.

After all, it hasn't been long since the anti-mopping up, and there are still many things to do in the base area. Who would have thought that Li Yunlong would be a monster at this time.

"What's wrong with me?"

Seeing that Brigadier Chen put down his hand, Chief of Staff Qin asked subconsciously.

"The independent regiment is going to fight Boyang."

Brigadier Chen waved his hand and walked towards the command room.

"What? Hitting Boyang, is Li Yunlong crazy?"

Chief of Staff Qin finally reached an agreement with Brigadier Chen. He spent all day in the staff headquarters looking at the map, so he naturally knew what was going on in Boyang.

"Who says no, no normal person can do this."

While speaking, he had already returned to the command room, and half of the tables were covered with water. While tidying up, Brigadier Chen said to Chief of Staff Qin who came in again.

"But, brigade commander, how do you know that the independent regiment has gone to fight Boyang?"

After admitting that Li Yunlong was a lunatic, Chief of Staff Qin soon had new doubts.

Brigadier Chen didn't contact the independent regiment either. How did he know that the independent regiment was going to fight Boyang.

"Look at the map for yourself."

Brigadier Chen raised his hand and pointed to the map on the wall.

Being able to serve as the chief of staff of the main brigade of the Eighth Route Army, Chief of Staff Qin is naturally not an ordinary person.

He stood in front of the map and observed carefully for a while, and then figured out a little way.

After passing through the new group of defense zones, the fixed direction has been locked, and the only way is to go west, but there are still many targets to choose from.

If they passed through the defense zone of the [-]st Regiment, it might be Fenyang, Zhaocheng, or even Zhongyang.

But the independent regiment passed through the defense zone of the [-]nd regiment, which was equivalent to going west first and then north.

Chapter 750 What a Big Game of Chess

Heading north, the range shrinks a lot.

The largest enemy-occupied area in the north is naturally Dragon City.

However, even if Chief of Staff Qin thought Li Yunlong was crazy, he didn't believe that he would take the independent regiment to fight Longcheng.

As the first strategically important place occupied by the little devil in Northwest Shanxi, Dragon City has fully stationed the troops of two divisions.

Just relying on an independent regiment to fight Longcheng, that is not courageous, it is going to die.

The little devil didn't even need to go out of the city to fight. He only needed to clamp artillery and heavy machine guns on the city wall to stop the independent regiment.

The defense facilities and strength there are the strongest in Northwest Shanxi.

Without fighting Dragon City, it is impossible to cross Dragon City and continue to the north, and then to the west, that is the border area, and there are no little devils.

To the east is the base of the Eighth Route Army, which is also impossible.

The only option was the towns in the southwest of Dragon City that were occupied by little devils.

Among them, Boyang has the most garrisons of little devils.

As for the remaining places such as Qishan, Fenshui, and Ping'an, the little devils only occupied them, and did not send heavy troops to garrison them.

Basically, they are all about the size of a squadron, and the largest county town of Ping'an has only two squadrons.

The only thing that can be confirmed now is that Li Yunlong must have gone to fight with the independent regiment.

If you are going on an outing, you won't run that far.

However, why did Brigadier Chen conclude that Li Yunlong was going to fight Boyang?

In comparison, isn't it easier to fight in small counties like Qishan?

"Brigade Commander, are you so sure that the Independence Regiment is going to Boyang? What if it's the Seven Mountains?"

Chief of Staff Qin asked a little unconvinced.

After all, it took Brigadier Chen only a few minutes to deduce the goal of the independent regiment, but it took him such a long time as the chief of staff, and he only thought of it after being reminded by Brigadier Chen, which made him feel very frustrated.

"Old Qin, I think you should find an opportunity to go to the grassroots troops to exercise, and you are stupid in the staff department."

Brigadier Chen had finished clearing the table, walked up to him, and said very bluntly.

Chief of Staff Qin blushed, is this a sarcasm or a curse?

"Look, the Independent Regiment first passed through the defense zone of the Xinyi Regiment, and then passed through the defense zone of the [-]nd Regiment, but did not choose to pass through the defense zone of the [-]th Brigade. Why?"

Brigadier Chen raised his hand and made gestures on the map a few times, then continued, "Because this route is the closest to Boyang."

"However, Qishan and Fenshui are not far from Boyang, and this road is also very close. Even if you go to Ping'an, it is nothing more than a detour of less than ten kilometers."

Chief of Staff Qin is still a little unconvinced. These locations are very close to each other. Is it a bit arbitrary to make a judgment based on a single route?

"Yes, these places are all in one place, but why did the entire independent regiment dispatch? If we want to fight small counties like Qishan, do we need 4000 people? Li Yunlong is the best at living, how much food and ammunition does 4000 people need to consume? If it was a small battle, would he be willing to pay such a high price? At most two battalions would be dispatched."

Brigadier Chen knew Li Yunlong very well, and he could figure out how big a deal he was going to do based on his personality alone. He paused and continued: "Also, Ding Wei can say in the telegram that the infantry drawn by the carriage Cannons and mountain cannons are clearly intended to attack the city, and the walls of Qishan and Fenshui are about to collapse, so there is still a need for cannons?"

Now Chief of Staff Qin is completely convinced. Hearing Brigadier Chen's explanation, it seems that this is really the case.

If he just wanted to fight a small-scale battle, Li Yunlong didn't need to use such a large force at all, and he didn't even need to run so far. He could find a little devil's camp at the door of his house and besiege him.

"Then what do we do now, Brigadier? Boyang is stationed in a regiment of the enemy army, and most of the people in the independent regiment are recruits, so they are not opponents at all."

After confirming the goal of the independent regiment, Chief of Staff Qin began to worry.

In his opinion, the Independence Regiment is absolutely impossible to be the opponent of the Boyang kid. Their military strength, firepower and combat effectiveness are all inferior, so how could they possibly win?

Fighting Longcheng is to die, beating Boyang is no different from sending to death.

"What do you think should be done?"

Brigadier Chen pondered for a while and asked.

Compared with Chief of Staff Qin, who was full of anxiety, he looked much calmer.

"How about asking Cheng Yuanzheng to send someone to chase them back?"

Chief of Staff Qin thought of an idea.

"How long has it been? Can you still catch up? Besides, even if you catch up, with Li Yunlong's temperament, can he come back obediently?"

Brigadier Chen denied it without even thinking about it.

This is simply impossible. The marching speed of the independent regiment was too fast. In less than two hours, they passed through the defense areas of the two regiments one after another. After such a long time, I don’t know how far they ran. Can you catch up?

Even if the [-]nd Regiment sent troops to chase him on horseback, he knew Li Yunlong's temperament very well, he was extremely stubborn.

Unless there is absolute strength to stop the independent regiment, for example, the entire [-]nd regiment is dispatched to block the road directly, which may stop the independent regiment.

If Guang sent a few soldiers to catch up quickly, would he be able to come back obediently?

Even if Cheng Yuanzheng chased him himself and offended Li Yunlong, he would still tie Cheng Yuanzheng by the side of the road and move on.

Brigadier Chen had no doubt that Li Yunlong could do such a thing.

Chief of Staff Qin was speechless, as if sending someone to persuade Li Yunlong to come back was indeed unrealistic.

If the independent group doesn't come back, then this battle is bound to start.

Although Li Yunlong violated discipline by leading troops without asking for instructions, he should not let the independent regiment go into danger because of this.

Since you can't stop it, find a way to support it.

"Li Yunlong, you played a big game of chess."

Brigadier Chen stood in front of the map with his hands behind his back and was silent for a while, then suddenly sighed.

Obviously, he has seen the real intention of Li Yunlong's action this time.
