The Boss of the Yan Family in Siheyuan

Hearing Nakajima Feng's words, Muto asked three times curiously: "Nakajima-kun, why are you sending two squadrons of troops to the left and right sides of Dagu Town? Wouldn't it be better to just unite them together?"

"Your Excellency, the division commander, the second and third battalions of the new regiment are deployed on the left and right sides of Dagu Town. Each has a battalion of troops. This is the latest situation detected by our intelligence personnel. I am like this

I want to use two squadrons to contain the second and third battalions of the New Regiment, and then use the two regiments to attack Dagu Town, and strive to capture Dagu Town in one battle. If we can rebuild the new regiment,

If it's a group, that's even better." Nakajima Feng explained to Muto Sanji.

Hearing Nakajima Feng's words, Muto nodded three times, frowned and said: "If we want to inflict heavy damage on the new regiment, our troops are still somewhat insufficient."

"Although His Excellency the Commander-in-Chief has reinforced two regiments to our Sixty-ninth Division, the Eighth Route Army does not only have a new regiment. If we use too many troops this time, Heyuan County and Anhua County will probably be attacked.

The attack of the Independent Regiment and the New Regiment. In addition, our enemy is not only the Eighth Route Army, but also the 358th Regiment, 361st Regiment, 365th Regiment and 371st Regiment of the Jinsui Army. If the Jinsui Army also wants to join in the fun, then our

I’m afraid action won’t bring much benefit.”

Although their 69th Division has more than 13,000 troops, plus the two regiments supported by Taiyuan, the total strength has reached more than 15,000.

But the enemy on the opposite side should not be underestimated. There are more than 10,000 people in the four regiments of the Guangjin-Sui Army. Adding the three regiments of the Eighth Route Army, the total strength should be about twice that of our own. This does not include those who occupy the area.

The bandit who is king of the mountain.

Although the combat capabilities of the two sides were not comparable, Muto Shiji was still a little worried about taking the initiative to attack the enemy's tightly defended defensive positions.

Therefore, he did not hope to expand the war. As long as this operation could knock down Dagu Town, he did not have high hopes for severely damaging Li Yunlong's new regiment.

You must know that the current Japanese army is different from when it first entered China a few years ago. Before, a Japanese army division had at least 25,000 troops. However, since the center of gravity of the mainland began to tilt toward Southeast Asia, the number of troops sent to fight in China began to decrease.

In the past, the strength of a division was at least 25,000, and could reach as many as 28,000. But now, a division is directly split into two divisions, and the strength is only more than 10,000 at most.

After hearing Muto Sanji's words, Nakajima Mao walked out of the office directly and went down to mobilize the troops.

When the little soldier heard the voice, he turned around and saw that it was the political commissar, so he gave a military salute and said: "He is such a political commissar. The old man said that he can leave, but he is worried about the house at home. I am explaining to him."

Zhao Gang breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this. He was afraid that the soldiers would conflict with the fellow villagers because of this matter. After all, it would affect the Eighth Route Army's impression in the hearts of the people, so he said: "Uncle, don't worry, if the little devils kill you

The house was blown up, and we, the Eighth Route Army, are responsible for repairing it for you and ensuring that you have a house to live in when you come back."

At this time, Zhao Gang happened to pass by and heard the conversation between the little soldier and the old man. Seeing that the two were arguing, he quickly came over and asked, "What's going on?"

"Old man, what do you think of Li Yunlong's battle plan? Isn't it a bit radical?" the No. 2 leader frowned and asked.

"Didn't Li Yunlong's new regiment get transferred to southwestern Shanxi? Why, they got into trouble again as soon as they arrived?"

"Correspondent, go and call the New Regiment back and tell him that the headquarters has agreed to his battle plan. The only requirement is that this battle must be won. If he cannot win, let him, Li Yunlong, come to see me with his head in his hand."

"Huzi, go, the telegraph operator calls me Huo." Li Yunlong saw Zhao Gang walking away and shouted to Huzi who came back.

"I don't care about this. Since Li Yunlong has already made a battle plan, he is sure to win this battle. I only want the result. As for the process, this is what Li Yunlong should worry about.

However, most fellow villagers are responsible for the new regiment's work. As long as it is explained clearly, they will choose to obey the arrangements and follow the transfer.

"Commander, I'll let you know." After hearing Li Yunlong's unusual words, Huzi quickly arranged for someone to ride on horseback to notify the New Second Regiment and the Independent Regiment. After all, time is running out now, and he doesn't know when the little devil will take action.

.

"But what should I do with my house? Our ancestors have lived here for generations. How can we just throw away such a big family property?" the old man continued to say to the little soldier.

But the boss had other ideas: "I think we can give it a try. As long as we can kill the Japanese, it will be profitable for us. Another point is that we have to fight this battle no matter what. After all, our troops

When we first got there, if we retreated as soon as the Japanese troops came, how would the masses view us and our army?"

Hearing Zhao Gang's words, Li Yunlong thought it made sense, so he said: "Okay, let's do it. Old Zhao, you go to Dagu Town now and take charge of this matter personally. I'm afraid Zhang Dabiao has no experience in this area.

It's better if you go there with peace of mind. We must make arrangements for the relocation of the people and not let any accidents happen to the fellow villagers.

At the Zhaojiayu New Regiment Headquarters, Li Yunlong was lying on the table preparing a map when he saw the telegraph operator hurriedly running in.

"It's Li Yunlong from the new regiment." As he spoke, the correspondent handed the telegram to the leader.

The chief explained while reading the telegram: "Something happened. Didn't Li Yunlong take down Dagu Town some time ago? Now the Japanese army is going to retaliate. What Li Yunlong reported is a combat plan to counterattack the Japanese army." The No. 1 chief looked at it.

After finishing the telegram, he handed the telegram to the No. 2 leader.

Therefore, the Japanese army fighting in China, starting in 1941, shifted from the offensive side to the defensive side. An Eighth Route Army was consolidating the occupied areas and launching an encirclement and suppression campaign against the Eighth Route Army that was operating behind enemy lines in the occupied areas.

After receiving Li Yunlong's telegram, the brigade headquarters forwarded it to the headquarters.

Hearing Nakajima's words, Muto Sanshi knew what he meant, but he couldn't ask more about it. After all, Nakajima was also doing it for the good of the 69th Division, and as the division commander of the 69th Division, he

It is the party that benefits the most, so I can only say: "Then let's decide like this."

After hearing the telegram from the boy Li Yunlong, Chief No. 2 also walked over curiously and asked:

The two regiments sent by the commander were different. They were just improvised units that had been dispersed. No matter how heavy the casualties were, no one would support them.

"Go and send this telegram to the brigade headquarters." Li Yunlong said, picking up the note and handing it to the telegraph operator.

"Ha Yi, then I'll go down and get ready."

Soon, the Japs' transfer attracted the attention of the intelligence personnel of the New Regiment. This information was sent back to the headquarters of the New Regiment.

"Although this is the case, I am worried about whether Li Yunlong can hold on. After all, the main target of the Japs is Dagu Town. Li Yunlong will be under the greatest pressure. How can he face the menacing Japs with only a regiment of troops?"

The No. 2 leader said with some tangle, he also knew that he could not retreat in this battle, but his strength did not allow it.

"Captain, there is a telegram from headquarters." After the telegraph operator finished speaking, he handed the telegram directly to Li Yunlong.

"Yes, leader." Huzi said and walked out.

"Your Excellency, Division Commander, there is no other way. We can only wait until the mainland solves the problem in Nanyang, and then we can shift the focus back." Looking at the melancholy Muto Shijima Nakajima Feng said.

After reading the telegram, the two leaders got up and came to the map. They found Li Yunlong's current location on the map, then found the location of Dagu Town, and then found the Independent Regiment and the New Second Regiment, as well as Ping'an County, Heyuan County, and Anhua County.

The location of the county seat.

"Commander, Captain Sun is ready." After finishing the matter, Huzi ran back to the regiment headquarters and said to Li Yunlong.

After hearing what the correspondent said, the commander raised his head and asked, "Tell me, what happened to the 386th Brigade?"

"Old Li, the Japs in Ping'an County are making moves. According to the news from the insider, the Japs have recently started distributing ammunition and preparing dry food. I feel that the Japs are going to attack Dagu Town." Zhao Gang faced Li Yunlong with the news from the insider.

said.

After all, judging from the map, the Japs are coming with great force. Li Yunlong, Ding Wei, and Kong Jie alone would make their three regiments somewhat weak. Although there are four regiments of the Jinsui Army beside them, they are not as strong as Yan after all.

The relationship between Xishan and Xishan is not very good. Although the two sides are now friendly forces, they may not be willing to help.

"The two regiments sent by Your Excellency the Commander, and the two squadrons from our 69th Division." Feng Nakajima thought for a while and said, he was unwilling to give up on this, after all, as long as there is a battle, there will be casualties.

, he definitely didn’t want his direct troops to be killed or injured.

"Oh, is it Li Yunlong again?" the chief muttered after receiving the telegram without even reading it.

"Yes, Commander." The telegraph operator took the note and returned to the telegraph room, and began to send a telegram to the brigade headquarters.

"By the way, arrange people to notify the New Second Regiment and the Independent Regiment respectively, saying that the Japanese are now preparing to attack Dagu Town, and let them act as planned." Li Yunlong said that he had not notified his two old comrades, Ding Wei and Kong Jie.

, so he shouted to Huzi again.

"Damn it, the Japs finally made some noise. Huzi, go and tell Zhang Dabiao to be prepared and alert at all times to prevent the Japs from sneaking up on you." After hearing Zhao Gang's words, Li Yunlong was excited and ordered to Huzi.

road.

After Zhao Gang arrived at Dagu Town, he asked Zhang Dabiao for a company of troops, and then began to inform the people door to door.

"Captain, you're looking for me." The telegraph operator came over and asked Li Yunlong.

After all, if something like this happens, the impression of their new group in the hearts of the people will be greatly reduced. It will also be detrimental to future development.

"Go ahead."

"You are such a fellow, we can defend Dagu Town, but the Japanese will use cannons when they attack, and the shells have no eyes. It will be bad if you are injured. You should take your family and move with our political commissar, etc.

We have driven back the little devils and are bringing you back." The little soldier patiently explained after hearing the fellow villager's doubts.

"Yo Xi, then in three days." Muto Sanji nodded and said, "By the way, are you going to use those troops?"

"Report to the commander, the 386th Brigade sent an urgent telegram." After receiving the telegram, the correspondent did not dare to delay and rushed into the combat command room to report directly to the commander.

…………

"Okay, let's go to Dagu Town." After hearing Huzi's words, Li Yun stood up and walked out. After meeting with Sun Desheng, they ran all the way towards Dagu Town.

After all, he is not the same Li Yunlong who never told his superiors about anything and made his own decisions.

"Three days later,"

Things like this are nothing to worry about. After fighting off the Japanese, they will repair the damaged house anyway. As long as they are not the kind of house that is a thorn in the side and refuse to leave no matter what, everything else is easy to talk about.

"Huzi, go and ask Sun Desheng to get ready, and follow me to Dagu Town later." Li Yunlong read the telegram and shouted to Huzi who was standing by.

"Okay, I'll go right away." After Zhao Gang said to Li Yunlong, he walked out of the regiment headquarters and rode away in the direction of Dagu Town.

"Then why don't we communicate with the Jinsui Army? After all, we are still friendly forces now. Even if we can't act together, we still need some help." The No. 2 leader suggested.

After all, this operation is related to the fate of three regiments of the Eighth Route Army. If the casualties are too great, it will also be a serious injury to the Eighth Route Army.

"Old Li, do you think we should evacuate the people in Dagu Town? After all, there is no eye for grabbing artillery. It would be bad if casualties are caused." Zhao Gang said with some worry.

"Young man, didn't your commander say you can hold Dagu Town? Why did you ask us to move?" A fellow villager said dissatisfied to the Eighth Route Army soldiers who came to inform him. He thought the Eighth Route Army was going to run away with them.

.

After hearing Nakajima Feng's words, Muto Sanji came back to his senses and continued: "Let's not talk about it for now. When are you going to launch an attack?"

"Yes, captain." Huzi responded, and ran to the next room to call the telegraph operator over.

Unless they have other ideas in their minds, for such people, Li Yunlong told the soldiers of the new regiment to just leave them alone. Since they choose not to believe us, then we don't have to care about their life or death.

"Okay, then I will follow you to evacuate." Hearing Zhao Gang's words, the old man said helplessly. After all, it is hard to leave his homeland, but he saw that such a big official told him so, and he couldn't make a choice.

What's wrong.

Zhao Gang was relieved after hearing what the old man said, and then said to the little soldier: "Help the old man with something."

"Yes, political commissar." The little soldier heard Zhao Gang's words and went into the house to help the old man and his family pack their things.

After Zhao Gang finished handling this matter, he continued to patrol Dagu Town to see which family still had any difficulties or problems, and to see if the soldiers had any quarrels with the fellow villagers.
