Jagged Changjin Lake: Kill the enemy and become stronger

Chief of Staff Qin looked sideways at Brigadier Chen, not quite understanding how big a game of chess was.

"Okay, you don't have to stand here anymore, go back to the staff to prepare, I guess the whole Jinchaji area will be in chaos, you should go through the details of each unit in advance, not only our brigade, but the entire army For those in the North China theater, if there is an emergency, they can come up with a response plan at any time, and keep an eye on Boyang and Longcheng, and report to me as soon as there is news."

Brigadier Chen took off his glasses, rubbed his temples, returned to the desk and sat down, spread out his notebook and wrote on it.

Is the whole Jinchaji going to be in chaos?

Just rely on the independent group?

Will it be a bit of a fuss?

Chief of Staff Qin left with full of doubts.

Brigadier Chen wrote a few pages in one breath, revised it again after finishing writing, and put down the pen only when he was satisfied.

Then he picked up the phone and made two calls in a row.

The first call was to Commander Liu of the [-]th Division, and the second call was to the headquarters.

"Deputy Commander? I am the [-]th Brigade. I have something to report to you. Li Yunlong from the Independent Regiment... took the whole regiment to Boyang without asking for instructions. It is estimated that he will arrive before dawn..."

Brigadier Chen reported the current situation to the deputy commander-in-chief on the phone.

"This bastard, he has been at ease for too long recently, and he is going to toss again."

The deputy commander also had a headache after listening to it, and turned to look at the map that hung all over the wall.

Chapter 750 The Fourth Battle Is About to Begin

Facts have proved that none of the generals who can leave their names in the history of war is an ordinary generation.

After glancing at the map, the deputy commander immediately deduced what was going to happen next.

"This Li Yunlong, is he planning to turn the entire Jinchaji into a pot of muddy water?"

The deputy commander was so angry that he thumped the table with his fists.

In fact, he also thought about this matter, but due to some restrictions, he couldn't implement it.

Unexpectedly, at this time, Li Yunlong took care of things for him.

Call him impulsive, the result of this action must be that the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.

Let's praise him for being smart. No word was released in advance, which caused the Eighth Route Army to be completely unprepared.

"Deputy commander-in-chief, it's too late to say anything now. Even if you want to take Li Yunlong's skin off, you have to settle the matter in front of you first. I have a few suggestions, listen to them..."

Brigadier Chen picked up the plan written in advance and read it to the phone.

"Yes, for the time being, follow your plan first. First, you must properly resolve the safety of the masses, especially the masses in areas where fighting will break out, and move them as soon as possible. Second, all troops must make sufficient preparations to fight with one move. Finally To mobilize local armed forces and militias, logistical and ammunition issues must also be considered.”

After summing up Brigadier Chen's plan, the deputy commander-in-chief gave instructions.

"understand!"

Brigadier Chen hung up the phone and sighed again. I'm afraid I won't be able to rest tonight.

"It's still quite protective."

The deputy commander-in-chief looked at the phone and smiled, but he didn't catch the implication of Brigadier Chen's words.

The disaster was caused by Li Yunlong, and Brigadier Chen is still helping him to plead for a lighter punishment.

"Come on!"

The deputy commander walked to the door, opened it and shouted.

Soon someone ran over.

"Order to all the troops, the [-]th Division, [-]th Division, [-]th Division, and the left-behind corps will immediately enter a state of combat readiness from now on. Large-scale battles may break out in the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei area at any time to ensure the safety of the masses. Mobilize all forces that can be mobilized..."

After the deputy commander-in-chief finished giving his orders, he walked towards the commander-in-chief's office.

This Li Yunlong really made the entire Eighth Route Army busy on his own.

Overnight, countless telegrams were sent out, and the three divisions under the Eighth Route Army all received orders to prepare for battle, and the atmosphere became tense unconsciously.

Under the cover of night, a troop was still advancing at full speed.

Since noon yesterday, the entire independent regiment has been dispatched, and has been in a state of marching in a hurry, rushing to Boyang.

Every two hours of marching, Li Yunlong will order the troops to rest for 5 minutes, and then continue on their way.

Even though the physical strength of the soldiers has been greatly improved due to the big martial arts competition during this period, many people still feel a little overwhelmed by this way of marching.

Often running, some soldiers will faint due to exhaustion.

In such a situation, Li Yunlong would not let the troops stop, but ordered the fainted soldiers to be carried onto the carriages transporting supplies and weapons.

It is necessary to arrive in Boyang before dawn, speed and time are the most important.

This is already close to the enemy-occupied area, and it is easy to be exposed when marching after dawn.

Fortunately, the soldiers understood the concerns of the head of the regiment, and they all gritted their teeth and persisted. No one complained of suffering or tiredness.

Even those soldiers who fainted would jump off the carriage immediately after waking up, and run forward with the team.

Until four o'clock in the morning, when it was still ten kilometers away from Boyang, Li Yunlong ordered the troops to rest in place.

At this time, the soldiers could no longer care about maintaining the formation, and they all sat on the ground, panting heavily.

Everyone's uniforms were soaked in sweat and wet.

I didn't feel it when I was marching, but when I stopped, the big beads of sweat fell one after another.

The soldiers took up the water bottles they carried with them to drink water after they had recovered from their breath.

The profuse sweating caused serious loss of water in the soldiers' bodies, and everyone's throats seemed to be on fire.

But even so, when the soldiers drank water, they always sipped it in small sips.

No one knows how long the battle will last, and no one knows whether there will be a source of drinking water ahead. The water in the kettle is their only source of water at present, and they need to save it.

"Rest for half an hour, then continue to set off, don't sit all the time, get up and move around, or you will get cramps easily."

Li Yunlong ordered the soldiers next to him to pass on the words.

He also ran all the way here, and the horse he was riding had already been added to the team pulling supplies.

He wiped the sweat from his forehead. He wanted to smoke a cigarette to relieve his fatigue, but he was worried that the light of the fire would attract the attention of the little devil, so he licked his chapped lips and put back the cigarette case he took out.

After sitting for a short while, the soldiers stood up supporting each other as Li Yunlong ordered, shaking their arms and kicking their legs.

I didn't feel anything when I was running, but now I only feel my limbs, especially my two legs, as if they were filled with lead. They are very heavy, and I can't feel anything when I pinch them.

"Old Xing, after the battle begins, you will be responsible for guarding and deploying supplies. No matter what, rations and ammunition must be the same."

Taking advantage of the rest time, Li Yunlong began to assign tasks.

"clear."

Xing Zhiguo also understands that relying on his own ability will not play a big role in a frontal battle. Instead of running around with the troops, it is better to manage the logistics and provide sufficient support for the soldiers.

"Old Kong, you take the third battalion, the fourth battalion and the fifth battalion. I will send you ten mortars and two infantry guns. Go around to attack at the west gate of Boyang City. I will take the first battalion, the second battalion and the third battalion to attack from the south gate. No matter who rushes in first, take the command post inside first."

Li Yunlong said to Kong Jie again.

"clear."

Kong Jie nodded.

The siege depends on firepower and guts. This kind of battle hardly needs to pay attention to tactics. Li Yunlong's arrangements are very appropriate.

"Remember, after destroying the little devil's command post, don't fight with the enemy, fight with them in the streets, the number of little devils is large, and we are not opponents if we face them head-on."

Li Yunlong was a little worried, and warned again.

"Artillery company, after the battle started, the mortars hit the little devils on the city wall, and the infantry artillery and mountain artillery aimed at the city gate."

"The first battalion is the vanguard, and the second battalion and the third battalion echo from both sides. The distance should not be too far to prevent being divided by little devils."

"..."

Li Yunlong carried out the battle deployment in a simple and clear manner, emphasizing only one point, no matter whether it can attack Boyang City or not, the independent regiment must stick to its position until dark.

Obviously, he also has self-knowledge, and knows that it is not realistic to completely win Boyang City with the independent regiment alone.

As long as they can hold on to the position for a day, it is enough for other troops to come to support them.

"Brothers, success or failure depends on one action. We won't have time to gossip when we fight. In short, take care of yourself. I hope that after the battle, we can still sit and drink together."

The rest time was over, and Li Yunlong had a final word with the commander of a unit, and continued to move forward with the independent regiment.

There was only one kilometer away from Boyang City. According to the scheduled plan, Xing Zhiguo and the team transporting supplies stopped and moved all the ammunition down so that they could be sent to the frontline battlefield at any time.

Kong Jie led the three battalions around to the west.

Chapter 750 Is It An Air Raid?

A team was divided into two teams, and they were quietly moving towards Boyang City from two directions.

In order not to disturb the little devil by making any noise, the soldiers deliberately kept their footsteps light.

Even heavy weapons such as infantry artillery and mountain artillery gave up being pulled by horse-drawn carts. Instead, soldiers carried them on their shoulders and carried them to the front line by manpower.

It was almost dawn at this time, and the little devils standing on guard on the city wall were a little groggy, so there was no vigilance, and they waited for the little devils who changed shifts to go back to sleep after dawn.

The little devil who was in charge of the inspection also squatted on the race track and took a nap. He could still make regular inspections in the first half of the night, but who would spend that much effort in the second half of the night.

The searchlights on the left and right corners of the city wall were still shining forward, and the little devil who controlled the searchlights was already snoring against the light stand.

These little devils had no idea that the opponent they were guarding against had already stood in front of them.

A ray of dawn appeared on the horizon, and the originally dark sky also turned dark blue.

Wait until the sun rises, and a new day will come.

Everything was quiet, not even the wind.

"Turn down those two searchlights first."

The independent regiment has entered the combat position, Li Yunlong observed for a while, and ordered the artillery company.

"call out!"
