Pilots in Japanese reconnaissance aircraft generally carry cameras.

It is convenient to take photos of terrain, enemy troop deployment, etc. from high altitude when performing reconnaissance missions.

Yang Dahe saw the fire dragon below from the plane, so he took two photos, but they were black and white photos.

Not long after, Yang Dahe retrieved the camera from the Zhongdao reconnaissance fighter jet and handed it to the boss.

The boss took the camera and said: "When I return to the headquarters, I will have the photos developed, not only for our "Border Daily", but also for "Xinhua Daily". It will be the headline of tomorrow's news!"

Next, the boss, Commander Liu and the chief of staff climbed into the fighter jet and sat in the cockpit to experience it for themselves.

Then he asked with unfinished content: "Yushe County is only 30 miles away from here. Hurry up and send a telegram to ask why the 385th Brigade hasn't launched an attack on Yushe County yet? What should we do if our plane and airport are discovered by the Japanese?"

The chief of staff waved to the accompanying telegraph operator and said: "Send a telegram to Brigade 385 and ask why they haven't launched an attack on Yushe County yet?"

"Yes, Chief!" The telegraph operator saluted and then took the radio off the horse.

Before the telegraph operator could start sending the message, the radio signal started to ring. The telegraph operator quickly picked up the receiver and put it to his ear to receive the signal.

After a while, the telegraph operator translated the signal received by the radio station and wrote it on paper with a pen.

"Report to the commander, telegram from Jizhong Cavalry Regiment!"

The telegraph operator took the three translated messages, saluted, and handed them to the chief of staff.

The chief of staff took the telegram and read it, with a smile on his face: "Boss, division commander, Li Yunlong has sent us good news!"

The boss and Mr. Liu both looked at each other, and Mr. Liu said: "Let me make a guess first. It should be that Yangquan has been captured by Li Yunlong, right?"

"Sir, you guessed it right." The chief of staff nodded, "Boss, please take a look, too, sir."

The chief of staff handed the first telegram to the boss.

The boss received the telegram and saw that it said, "Capture Yangquan, wipe out all the enemy troops, and capture a lot of money."

"Li Yunlong and the others are so fast!" the boss said, "I expected that the battle to attack Yangquan would last until night, but I didn't expect that they would be defeated so quickly!"

After reading the telegram, Mr. Liu also smiled and said: "It seems that tomorrow's "Border District Daily" and "Xinhua Daily" will have another page of headlines."

When the chief of staff looked at the second telegram, his expression suddenly froze, and then he quickly turned the page to look at the third telegram.

The second picture shows the leaders and political commissars of four regiments jointly requesting the headquarters to attack Taiyuan.

The third sheet contains the reasons and reasons for the request to attack Taiyuan.

The boss keenly noticed something was wrong with the chief of staff's expression and asked, "Did Li Yunlong and the others encounter a new situation? Could it be that the Japanese reinforcements have arrived in Yangquan?"

The chief of staff said: "Yes and no."

The boss asked: "Oh, what exactly is going on?"

The chief of staff handed the two telegrams to the boss: "Boss and division commander, you'd better read it yourself."

The boss took a look at the message and his pupils shrank slightly.

Seeing this, Mr. Liu also put away the smile on his face and moved closer to the boss.

The chief of staff said: "Li Yunlong and the others want to eat the Japanese cavalry regiment first, then defeat the infantry regiment in the direction of Taiyuan, and then besiege Taiyuan, forcing the main force of the Japanese army that attacked Zhongtiao Mountain to return for reinforcements. Boss, division commander, what do you think?

"

"Surround Wei and rescue Zhao?" The boss read the telegram and did not express any opinion. He first turned to Commander Liu and asked, "Sir, what do you think?"

Mr. Liu pushed up his glasses and said with a smile: "I have to say, this idea is very bold, I think it's good."

In addition to carefully planning battles and being good at determining the direction of operations, concentrating troops, and controlling reserves, Commander Liu's command style also often liked to make dangerous moves and use troops abnormally.

The Chief of Staff also said: "The siege of Taiyuan forced the main force of the Japanese army to return for reinforcements. I have to say that it was a brilliant move. The Japanese 41st Division suffered heavy losses from the bombing by planes. It was no longer possible to capture the National Army's 14th Group Army and the Zhongtiao Shandong Front.

It is considered stable. If we besiege Taiyuan again at this time, the Japanese army will definitely transfer the 36th or 37th Division from the Zhongtiao Shanxi line to return reinforcements. Then the pressure on the 5th National Army on the western front will be reduced by half, and perhaps the Japanese army can really occupy the center.

Tiaoshan’s plan is completely ruined.”

"It's a good idea." The boss also nodded in agreement, but changed the subject and said, "But the key to the problem is not here, it is whether they can eat the Japanese cavalry and infantry regiments. If they win, they can go west.

If we cannot win the attack on Taiyuan, I am afraid that Li Yunlong and the others will not only have to take advantage of what they captured in Yangquan, but they will also suffer heavy losses."

Commander Liu said: "If the two Japanese infantry regiments and the cavalry regiment move forward together, Li Yunlong and the others may not be a match for the Japanese, but if they are defeated one by one, they may not have any chance of winning."

"Oh?" the boss said, "Sir, tell me what you think."

Commander Liu said: "According to the report of our pilots, the Japanese cavalry regiment has been bombed once, and the losses were considerable, but our Jizhong Cavalry Regiment has 1,200 cavalry, plus the cavalry battalion of the Independent Regiment and the New Second Regiment.

The cavalry company has a total of more than 1,600 cavalry, which far exceeds the Japanese cavalry regiment."

"The Japanese cavalry regiment will arrive at Yangquan before dark today at the earliest, while the Japanese infantry regiment will not arrive until tomorrow at the earliest, and one is in the east of Yangquan and the other in the west of Yangquan."

"Although the Japanese army is coming fiercely, the three armies cannot be in one place, and their fists cannot be clenched together."

"So I think Li Yunlong and the others still have a chance of winning."

After listening to the analysis of Commander Liu and the Chief of Staff, the boss nodded slightly, which was pretty much what he thought.

The boss said.

"Then give Li Yunlong and the others an order to eat the Japanese cavalry regiment before tomorrow!"

"If you can't eat the Japanese cavalry regiment, quickly evacuate Yangquan with the captured loot!"

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "If the three groups of Japanese troops join forces, Li Yunlong and the others will be in big trouble!"

"If the Japanese cavalry regiment is really eaten, then the Japanese infantry regiment in Taiyuan will be defeated!"

"It won't be too late to agree to Li Yunlong's plan to invade Taiyuan."

The chief of staff asked: "Who among the four regiment commanders should take command in the next battle?"

The boss said: "If you let Li Yunlong come, he will conduct the battle well in Yangquan."

"This kid Li Yunlong has a lot of clever ideas in fighting, and he can always come up with some new tricks." The chief of staff laughed, "Maybe the idea of ​​attacking Taiyuan and surrounding Wei and rescuing Zhao was Li Yunlong's idea."

"I don't think so." Commander Liu said, "Judging from the tone of the third telegram, this should be Ding Wei's idea. Li Yunlong has good tactical command skills, but lacks overall view and strategic vision. This guy has always been unfavorable.

He got up early, I guess he only thought about going to Taiyuan to make a fortune."

When they heard the word "get rich", the boss and chief of staff couldn't help laughing.

The boss even smiled and said: "Sir, it seems you know Li Yunlong very well."

…

Yangquan City, inside the arsenal.

The telegram from the headquarters was quickly received by Ma Chengfeng.

Li Yunlong also summoned the regiment leaders and political commissars to discuss the battle plan.

Li Yunlong was the first to say.

"I believe everyone has read the content of the telegram from the headquarters. The meaning of the head of the headquarters is very simple."

"Let's see if we can pass the current hurdle first. If we can defeat the Japanese cavalry regiment and defeat the Japanese infantry regiment in the direction of Taiyuan."

"The boss just agreed to our action of besieging Taiyuan."

"You also name me as the commander-in-chief of the next battle. Then brother, I would rather obey your orders than respect him."

"Haha, I have always advocated democracy in the military. Everyone can express their opinions freely."

Zhao Gang rolled his eyes. Except for Wei Dayong, when did you, Li Yunlong, have democracy in military operations?

Cheng Shifa immediately said: "Let's just open up and fight. Our three regiments have more than 7,000 infantry and 1,600 cavalry. How can we beat the Japanese cavalry with less than 1,000?"

"Then if we set up a good posture here and the Japanese cavalry regiment doesn't fight you, they will wait until the infantry regiment arrives before fighting you." Li Yunlong asked, "Then what will you do?"

"Then take the initiative." Cheng Shifa said, "If the cavalry fights the cavalry, we have a chance of winning!"

"The riding skills of the Japanese cavalry are quite good." Li Yunlong said, "If the enemy retreats, our cavalry may not be able to catch up. Once the Japanese cavalry is dragged behind and the infantry regiment arrives, then we will be in trouble!"

"This won't work, that won't work either." Cheng Shifa slammed the table and asked, "Then what do you think we should do?"

Li Yunlong looked at Ma Renxing and Ding Wei, who were staring at the map with their brows slightly furrowed in thought, obviously not thinking of any good ideas.

Li Yunlong said: "If you want the Japanese cavalry to take the initiative to attack, it is actually very simple!"

Ding Wei raised his head and asked: "Lao Li, how are you going to fight this battle?"

Li Yunlong: "Fishing."

Ding Wei: "What kind of fishing method?"

Li Yunlong asked back: "If you were the captain of the Japanese cavalry regiment, with close to 1,000 elite cavalry under your command, and there was a large open area in front of you, and there happened to be an Eighth Route Army infantry force of thousands of people in the open area, what would you do? Go up immediately.

Should we eat this group of infantry, or should we wait more than ten hours for the infantry regiment from behind to come up, and then eat this group of Eighth Route Army infantry together?"

Ding Wei said without thinking: "Of course I will rush up and eat it immediately. When the cavalry regiment comes from behind, the day lily will be cold!"

In this way, Ding Wei, Ma Renxing and Cheng Shifa, as well as political commissars Zhao Gang and Wang Nairong, all knew what Li Yunlong was going to do.

Zhao Gang said:

"It seems that Lao Li already has a plan. Stop hiding it and tell everyone about it quickly."

"By the way, the 3rd Battalion Commander just reported to me that there are still several trains parked at Yangquan Railway Station."
