Jagged Changjin Lake: Kill the enemy and become stronger

Li Yunlong made an impromptu speech.

It should be said or not, although Li Yunlong's previous words are a bit embarrassing and pretentious, but the latter part is still very good.

"Commander, Boyang City has been defeated, what are you going to do next? Should the independent regiment move to defend Boyang City, or return to the original defense zone?"

Qiao Lin suddenly thought of a question and asked quickly.

According to the habit of the army, the independent regiment captured Boyang City, and the independent regiment should be stationed in Boyang until there is no new transfer order from the superior.

After all, you can't just leave the place where you have finally won it with great difficulty, and let the little devil occupy it again.

But the question is, if the independent regiment is stationed in Boyang City, what will happen to the previous defense zone?

Moreover, the independent regiment belongs to the [-]th brigade, and Boyang does not belong to the defense area of ​​the [-]th brigade, so what is the matter with the independent regiment stationed here?

The most important thing is that this action of the independent group was done without the permission of the superior. Although Li Yunlong is dancing happily now, as long as the decision of the superior is not issued for a day, he has to bear this responsibility all the time.

When it comes to these issues, the whereabouts of the independent group is still unknown.

Of course, it is not ruled out that the higher-ups will deal with this matter in a thunderous and rainy way, declaring it to the outside world as a personal act, reporting criticism internally, punishing Li Yunlong symbolically, and then handing Boyang over to him.

After all, if he was able to conquer Boyang City in such a short period of time, he must also be able to defend the city.

If this is the case, then Qiao Lin will consider sending a letter to the cavalry company who are still recuperating in the headquarters hospital, telling them to come to Boyang directly after they are discharged.

"Stationed in Boyang? You have such a beautiful idea, not to mention that the operation itself was done without asking for instructions. We are still guilty of the crime. Even if the superiors are magnanimous and don't pursue it, it is impossible for the independent regiment to guard Boyang. This place is an important military base, and it is related to the military deployment of the little devils in the entire northwest of Shanxi. If the superiors decide to want Boyang, they will send at least three regiments, or even a brigade to garrison, and it will not be our turn."

Li Yunlong smiled and said nonchalantly.

His cognition in this aspect is still very clear, he knows how much he weighs, and he also knows that he is still wearing a sinful body.

"Are you so sure that the superior will make such a decision?"

Kong Jie couldn't help interjecting, he felt that Li Yunlong was a bit too arbitrary, he dared to judge the decision of the superior without any warning.

"Not for sure, but for sure. Although Boyang's geographical location is important, it is still very difficult to defend Boyang with the strength of the Eighth Route Army in the base area. It is surrounded by little devils' occupied areas, especially Longcheng in the north. , there are two divisions of devils stationed there, even if we don’t fight us decisively, and send a regiment to harass us every day, do you think we can bear it? We can’t give up other base areas and concentrate the main force here, right? So I judge that there is a high probability that the chief executive will give up Boyang."

Li Yunlong smiled, very slyly.

Qiao Lin had seen this smile on Li Yunlong's face more than once, and every time it was the premise that Li Yunlong was absolutely sure of something, he would smile like this.

"Give up Boyang? Then we won't fight for nothing?"

Kong Jie was in a hurry.

Although he did not agree to attack Boyang at the beginning, but now that it has become a fact, Boyang City has been conquered, and he really can't accept it if he surrenders it.

Not to mention the importance of this city, how many soldiers were sacrificed just to take it down?How many soldiers were injured?

And if Boyang was defeated just to let him go, at most it was revenge on the little devil, or to give him a little deterrent, then he felt that this battle was a farce and meaningless.

At least I'm sorry for those soldiers who died.

"Old Kong, why are you so impatient?"

Li Yunlong took out a cigarette and lit it for Kong Jie, smiled and said, "Will the superiors not think of the problems you can think of? Boyang City was bought by brothers in exchange for their lives. How could it be possible to fight for nothing? Even if you have to let it go , the superior chief will not give up in vain, at least he has to ask the little devil to get some interest."

Kong Jie didn't say a word, anyway, he now felt that Boyang City could not and should not give in.

"Of course, it is not ruled out that the higher-ups have other plans. If we plan to use Boyang City to contain the little devils in Northwest Shanxi, then our current deployment and strategic layout will be completely changed. Maybe one day, we will have to concentrate our forces. Attacking Dragon City."

Li Yunlong added.

Kong Jie is currently affected by emotions, and his analysis of the problem is not that deep, but Qiao Lin understands it.

Although what Li Yunlong said was just a guess, it actually pointed out the essence of this battle.

That is, from a long-term perspective, whether Boyang City should be abandoned or occupied.

Moreover, Qiao Lin believes that the final result is very likely to be as Li Yunlong said, and the higher-ups will give up Boyang City.

Although from a strategic point of view, taking down Boyang is tantamount to pinching the little devil's throat in Dragon City.

But in fact, the hand of the Eighth Route Army is not enough to crush the throat.

If you want to hold Northwest Shanxi, Boyang is the top priority, but it also means that the Eighth Route Army will give up the bases in Northern Shanxi, Central Shanxi, Southern Shanxi and Southeast Shanxi.

Because the main force must be concentrated in the northwest of Shanxi to defend Boyang, which in turn will cause immeasurable losses to the entire Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei base.

Defending a city is not as simple as sending troops in to garrison it.

When the Eighth Route Army established a base area, why didn't it gather all its troops together, but scattered them everywhere?

In addition to developing the mass base, it is also for the convenience of combat.

Suppose the little devils attack the new first regiment, then the new second regiment and the independent regiment can rush to support at the first time, because the defense areas of the three regiments are connected.

But if these three regiments are all together, then there will be a situation where they will be surrounded by little devils.

Scattered, not only can pinch the invading little devils, but also contain the enemy troops who are coming for reinforcements.

Therefore, if the Eighth Route Army wants to occupy Boyang for a long time, the next step is to attack the counties such as Qishan and Pingan to eliminate the threats around Boyang.

Then continue to spread outward, and gradually develop the entire vicinity of Boyang into a base area.

Then, through continuous expansion, Dragon City was turned into an isolated city.

The purpose of attacking Boyang is not occupation, but its strategic significance.

The strategic significance of Boyang is Dragon City.

But for the sake of Longcheng, it would not be worthwhile to concentrate the main force of the Eighth Route Army here.

Although there are little devils from two divisions in Dragon City, with the current strength of the Eighth Route Army, it is not impossible to take down Dragon City.

Chapter 790 The fifth wounded is dying

But what if we take down Dragon City?Could it be that if the dragon city is conquered, the entire War of Resistance will be victorious?

of course not.

At this stage, if the Eighth Route Army wins Dragon City, it will only lose more.

The same is true for Boyang.

Instead of using the main force to defend the city, it is better to put it into a wider battlefield, so that the little devil cannot gain a firm foothold on this land.

Later, a large number of famous military strategists who shocked the world appeared in the land of China, most of whom came from the Eighth Route Army. They will not fail to understand this question.

Relying on 10,000+ troops, nearly a million little devils can be pinned down in North China. The strategic planning of the Eighth Route Army is far superior to that of little devils.

Although Li Yunlong gives people a low-key impression on weekdays, he looks at problems with great depth.

You can't win a battle just by being thick-skinned and sweet-mouthed, you have to have real skills.

"By the way, Qiao Lin, you came all the way from the headquarters, what's the situation outside?"

After such a while, Kong Jie has gradually calmed down.

He also wanted to understand that the matter of Boyang City cannot be decided by himself, and can only be arranged by his superiors.

"There are firefights everywhere. I went all the way south from the headquarters, and I have encountered wars in three or four places. This is because there are fewer little devils on the north side. I guess the fighting is more severe on the east side."

Jolin sighed and said.

The most direct cost of fighting is bloodshed and sacrifice. When he thought of how many Eighth Route Army soldiers fell on the battlefield, he felt heavy in his heart.

Kong Jie understood.

As Li Yunlong said, when the independent regiment attacked Boyang, chaos outside followed.

"The little devil's reinforcements haven't arrived yet. It's likely that they won't be able to come. Let's hurry up and clean up. I don't think it will take long. Our troops should come and we should make room for them."

Li Yunlong said suddenly, his words were a little sour.

"Take a place? What do you mean?"

Kong Jie was confused again.

"Just wait and see."

Li Yunlong didn't go into details either, and asked Qiao Lin about the situation of the cavalry company in detail.

"Damn it, this is the soldier of our independent regiment, kind!"

Hearing that a regiment of little devils was ambushing outside Xin County, the cavalry company was the first to fight out the siege, broke through the blockade of the little devils, and then came back to cover the deputy commander and comrades of the working group to evacuate safely. Li Yunlong was excited He slapped his thigh and said quite proudly.

"Who would have thought that there were traitors in our team, this time is really dangerous."

Kong Jie also sighed.

Although Qiao Lin didn't deliberately express the credit for the cavalry company's contribution to this incident, everyone knew that without the cavalry company, the result would be disastrous.

The team of hundreds of people broke through the siege of thousands of little devils abruptly, and wiped out more than half of the enemies. This also gave everyone a new understanding of the cavalry company.

"Hmph, those guys from the headquarters security regiment have their eyes growing to the top of their heads, and they are still counting on them to protect the chief? We have to rely on our grassroots troops at critical moments."

Li Yunlong said a little angrily.

After all, in this battle, the cavalry company was both the vanguard and the main force. On the other hand, the guard company was almost exhausted.

"Old Li, that's too much!"

Kong Jie pestered Li Yunlong, reminding him that what he said was a bit extreme.

"It's not easy for the comrades of the guard company. They are indeed inferior to the cavalry company based on their combat quality alone, but there is absolutely no coward. In the end, there are only more than 80 people left in the two companies. They can successfully break out of the encirclement. No small effect."

Qiao Lin also stood up and said something fair.

The size of the ability is a matter of individual ability, and the guard company is indeed inferior to the cavalry company.

But on the battlefield, none of the guards backed down. This was a matter of mentality.

No matter the level of ability, if you dare to face and sacrifice, you are worthy of respect.

The Eighth Route Army now has only one cavalry company, and it is impossible to demand all soldiers according to the standards of the cavalry company.

"Head, there are a few fighters, I'm afraid it won't work!"

Xing Zhiguo hurried over and said anxiously.

He is a very careful person, and he went to take care of the wounded as soon as he got back to the city gate.

"what happened?"

Li Yunlong's expression also changed, and he walked quickly towards the place where the wounded were resting.
