Anti-Japanese War: Li Yunlong dared to attack Taiyuan

Originally, Li Yunlong wanted to use Chifeng as his transit station, but now his target has been set on Outer Mongolia.

Although there were 30,000 elite Russian soldiers, Li Yunlong was very clear about their weaknesses. The Japanese had fought them hard and suffered a lot, but if they changed their thinking, this group of people could be bribed.

If we say that there is a Fourth Division in the Japanese army that is an exception, then among the Russian troops, because of dissatisfaction with the purge and other issues, all those troops transferred to the Far East are the Fourth Division of the Japanese army.

You have to fight them to the death. They have a torrent of steel, but you have wine and gold. This group of people is your loyal backing and can provide you with materials and supplies continuously. This is one of the reasons why Li Yunlong dared to enter the four northeastern provinces in 1942.

Although the relationship with Moscow is not good, it does not mean that it is impossible to have good relations with the Far East troops. Those tanks and heavy artillery are things that can be bought. In this regard, the Russian troops in the Far East are even crazier than the Japanese Fourth Division.

Chapter 364: Advance Group: Target, Four Eastern Provinces

On October 3, the weather turned cooler, and the first regiment directly under the Heilongjiang-Jilin-Liaoning-Chahar Military Region was stationed.

"Assemble, assemble, everyone assemble!"

Zhang Dabiao was adjusting the hat he had just received from the quartermaster's office, standing in front of the command department, looking at his watch and calculating the time.

Soon, the two thousand soldiers of the first regiment were assembled.

Originally, Zhang Dabiao had nearly 4,000 men under his command, but after screening according to Li Yunlong's requirements, only 2,000 soldiers were left.

A large part of these people are comrades from the four eastern provinces, and the rest are soldiers who are not only children.

When the army was registering family situations, some old comrades had already realized that there might be big moves in the army next. Some people wanted to conceal the facts and did not want to be screened out. However, after two rounds of investigation, some only children were screened out, and the group became what it is today.

Strictly speaking, the First Regiment is no longer a combat unit, but more like an officer training regiment. The soldiers of the First Regiment are all veterans, and when other units lack grassroots commanders, they are drawn from the First Regiment.

Ordinary soldiers in the first regiment would start at the squad leader level when they go to other troops.

This was the requirement set by Li Yunlong, to build the 1st Regiment into the most combat-effective unit in the entire military region, and also a training regiment for officers in the entire military region.

In addition to basic military training, even ordinary soldiers in a regiment have to receive different levels of military command training every day, and even conduct some military flag exercises every week.

The map used for the simulation was the map of the four eastern provinces. How to fight in the harsh environment of the four eastern provinces was the most discussed issue among the officers and soldiers of each regiment during this period.

Zhang Dabiao would be present at every simulation. Sometimes the Chief of Staff and Lao Xing would also participate in the discussion, and Zhao Gang would also learn from the side.

In fact, everyone in the regiment already understood that the troops were about to enter the four eastern provinces.

Soon all the soldiers in the regiment were gathered.

"Report to the commander, the direct regiment should have 2,000 people, and the actual number is 2,000. Please give instructions!"

Zhang Dabiao glanced at the endless heads and said, "I've gathered you all today for two things. The first is to raise the military flag!"

After Zhang Dabiao finished speaking, the chief of staff and Lao Xing came out carrying a military flag.

All the soldiers looked at the Chief of Staff and Lao Xing.

"Commander Li Yunlong is away, so today's flag-raising ceremony will be presided over by me, Zhang Dabiao!"

"To!"

Zhang Dabiao roared at the top of his lungs, and the veins on his neck were stretched and exposed.

"On behalf of the Heilongjiang-Jilin-Liaoning-Chahar Military Region, I present the flag of the First Regiment, the Heilongjiang-Jilin-Liaoning-Chahar Advance Regiment!"

After the words "Heilongjiang-Jilin-Liaoning-Chahar Military Region, Advance Regiment" appeared, applause suddenly broke out in the originally quiet team.

The young people from the four eastern provinces clapped their hands vigorously at this moment, tears streaming down their faces uncontrollably.

The four words "Heilongjiang, Jilin, Liaoning and Chahar" say it all. The troops are going to counterattack the four eastern provinces.

"Please rest assured, Commander. The First Regiment is determined to complete the advance mission at all costs!"

"Okay! Take the flag!"

The chief of staff unfolded the general flag, a red flag with a white background on the edge and the words "Heilongjiang-Jilin-Liaoning-Chahar Military Region Advance Regiment" written by Zhao Gang himself.

Zhang Dabiao solemnly took the flag in his hand and waved it vigorously in the air.

All the soldiers of the First Regiment said in unison: "We will complete the mission!"

The chief of staff heard this and glanced at the excited soldiers below, then raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet.

"I won't say any more nonsense. From today on, your regiment will serve as the advance group, representing our Heilongjiang, Jilin, Liaodong and Chahar Military Region. You will be the first to advance into the four eastern provinces, paving the way for the subsequent large forces to enter the four eastern provinces!"

"The situation in the four eastern provinces is very complicated and dangerous. You might risk your life if you go there. Are you afraid?"

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, don't be afraid!"

All the soldiers shouted in unison. The chief of staff saluted and said to all the soldiers below, "You go ahead and we will follow soon. Before leaving, the commander told me that he had only one goal, and that was to drive the Japanese out of the four eastern provinces!"

"You will fire the first shot in the counterattack against the four eastern provinces. I look forward to hearing your victory!"

After the chief of staff left, Zhang Dabiao stepped forward again and slowly said, "Next, I'll tell you the second thing. I'll give you half a day to write your suicide notes and pack your belongings. Our advance group will set off north tonight!"

"No one is allowed to leave the team without permission before we reach our destination. Do you understand?"

"Clear!"

"Disband!"

With Zhang Dabiao's order to dismiss, all the soldiers rushed to their barracks, packing their luggage while thinking about how to write their suicide notes.

"Battalion Commander, are we really going to counterattack the four eastern provinces?"

After the group was dismissed, Milong pulled the battalion commander aside and asked excitedly.

"Didn't you hear what the Chief of Staff and the Regimental Commander were saying just now?"

Milong shook his head and said, "Yes, I heard it. I just want to confirm it again."

"Hurry up and get ready!"

"Yes!"

Milong nodded and ran excitedly to his barracks.

Gu Xiaomai was scratching his head and writing a letter to his family at this time. Gu Xiaomai could not read before, but after literacy training he began to learn to read. With his military merits, he became a platoon leader.

Gu Xiaomai was fine with reading letters, but it was difficult for him to write a letter himself. He racked his brains and came up with a few words, saying that he was now a platoon leader, was living a good life, had killed many Japanese devils, and asked his family not to worry.

"Brother Milong, please write something for me. I can't write."

After seeing Milong, Gu Xiaomai felt like he had found a life-saving straw.

After hearing this, Milong suppressed his inner excitement, helped Gu Xiaomai write the letter word by word, and then confirmed the address.

Then he took out paper and pen to write a letter. Milong wrote two letters, one to his parents, but his parents were still in the four northeastern provinces, so it was definitely impossible to mail it there now. The other letter was to Li Liansheng.

Li Liansheng was seriously injured and rescued, but because of a broken spine, he cannot stand up and can only lie down.

But even so, Li Liansheng did not give up on himself while lying in bed. He was learning shoemaking and doing some other chores from the female comrades of the Women's Association.

After the battle at Datong Mine, Milong never called Li Liansheng the unlucky star again, but called him big brother. Every time he saved up some good things, he would give them to Li Liansheng.

In addition, many soldiers from the four eastern provinces did the same.

After Li Liansheng collected them, he also distributed them to other injured comrades.

The person Milong is most concerned about now is Li Liansheng. He knows that if Li Liansheng knew that his troops were going to counterattack the four eastern provinces, he would be as excited as he is.

The doctor said that Li Liansheng still has a chance to stand up, but he needs stimulation. Perhaps this news can stimulate Li Liansheng.

However, he also knew that the news had to be kept secret for the time being, so after writing it, he handed it to the logistics staff. When the news was no longer confidential, he would pass it on to Li Liansheng as soon as possible.

When night fell, the soldiers of the First Regiment handed in all the suicide notes, took their supplies, disappeared from the base under the cover of night, and began to head north.

Chapter 365: Talking and Laughing

As summer passed and winter came, Li Yunlong's studies were nearing the end. The original plan was that Li Yunlong would study in winter and leave after the spring.

However, if you come here to study early, the course should officially end and be declared graduated in October as planned.

Li Yunlong's study content this time was quite heavy. In addition to ideological education, there were also some theoretical courses on commanding large-scale military operations.

Our army is now developing rapidly. From the initial tens of thousands of people, it has grown to hundreds of thousands of people. Many generals lack the experience of commanding tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of people.

Because Li Yunlong had commanded the Datong Campaign and the Yu County Campaign, in the command theory class, Li Yunlong occasionally served as a student and occasionally played the role of a teacher, sharing some of his command experience.

With the personal guidance of division commanders and brigade commanders, and the experience of personally commanding several battles with tens of thousands of troops, Li Yunlong's teaching content is not theoretical knowledge from books, but the experience summarized from actual combat, which is a valuable experience for many people.

In addition to classes, there are many extracurricular activities, especially basketball. Many basketball courts have been opened throughout the rear headquarters, and they are full every day. In addition to the students, the comrades who work here also love to play basketball.

It's a pity that there are problems with the conditions and venues. There is no football field. Otherwise, maybe we can save the national football team little by little from now on? This idea was born only for a second before Li Yunlong threw it out of his mind. That thing can't save anything.

However, before the end of the course, some courses were temporarily added. The teacher personally taught some of the content, and several people who returned one after another came to attend the class in person. These were all considered special training for Li Yunlong. It was not until January 1942 that Li Yunlong officially completed his studies.

The occurrence of many things also began to verify the reality of Li Yunlong's existence.

Many people say that Marx's thought is materialism, but many people who say this have not seriously understood it, or they just follow the crowd, or they probably skip the required Marxist philosophy course in their freshman year and sleep on it.

There are two words before materialism: dialectical materialism.

The addition of the word "dialectical" has a completely different meaning. It is an advanced form of materialism, that is, everything has two sides. It reveals that the fundamental reason for the development of things lies in the contradictions within things.

The two sides of the contradiction in things are both consistent and in conflict, which prompts things to continuously develop from low to high.

Therefore, the law of contradiction of things, that is, the law of unity of opposites, is the fundamental law of the movement, change and development of the material world.

Speaking in plain language means emphasizing the significance of objective existence, not the idealistic idea that existence is reasonable.

The simplest example is the criticism of capital in Das Kapital, which says that from head to toe, every pore is dripping with blood and filth.

Later, this sentence became more concrete after the netizens in China and the United States reconciled their accounts. Students had to take out loans with negative interest rates, and had to pay back the loans for an average of twenty years. They had to pay for groceries in full, and had to take out loans for lunch, etc.

However, Capital also lists the necessity of the existence of capital. It is inevitable in the process of material production and will definitely exist.

We must look at capital dialectically. It has a positive side that promotes social progress and development, but it also has a side of exploitation and oppression. We need to control it and utilize capital to ultimately move towards a more advanced social form.

The existence of dialectics makes everything no longer absolute. Everything has the possibility of objective existence, and we just need to provide evidence to prove it.

Li Yunlong's existence also conforms to the possibility that anything has objective existence, and the reality of things only needs to be proven by Li Yunlong himself.

For example, Li Yunlong recounted many things during the exchanges that week, all of which happened one by one and also confirmed the reality of Li Yunlong.
