After receiving the intelligence from the headquarters, Li Yunlong quickly called the three main regiment commanders and the two brigade battalion commanders to assign combat tasks.

Li Yunlong, Zhao Gang, Kong Jie, Wei Dayong, Zhang Dabiao, Xing Zhiguo, Sun Desheng and Yao Shangwu gathered around the table.

"It used to be a small fight, but now we want to do something big!"

"As long as this is done, our independent brigade will definitely make a fortune!"

Li Yunlong glanced at everyone and said with an excited expression.

Unaware of this, Zhang Dabiao, Xing Zhiguo, Sun Desheng and Yao Shangwu had curious expressions on their faces.

Li Yunlong continued.

"According to intelligence, there is a small Japanese military train in Baoding and it will be transported to Shanxi soon."

"We are going to rob it on the way. Why should the Japanese drink and eat meat while we drink from the northwest wind?"

"We also have to eat wine and meat. Whatever the devils and traitors have, let's just rob them!"

"As I said before, as long as we succeed in doing this, we will all be kings of the mountain from now on, drinking heavily and eating large amounts of meat!"

As Li Yunlong announced the combat operation, the faces of several people who were unaware showed excitement.

Zhao Gang quickly said: "The brigade commander is just using an analogy. He is not really asking you to be the king of the mountain. Comrades must correctly understand what the brigade commander means."

Zhang Dabiao said excitedly: "As expected of the brigade commander, this is a big move!"

Li Yunlong glanced at Zhao Gang and Zhang Dabiao, then glanced at the other two regiment leaders: "Now I order the New Fourth Regiment to move between Yangquan and Niangziguan and launch an offensive towards Zhengtai Road to attract the attention of the Japanese."

Everyone knows Li Yunlong's commanding and combat style. He never likes to let his subordinates fight over each other, so he directly issues orders.

He alone has the final say as to who plays the main offense and who plays the assists.

"Yes!" Xing Zhiguo straightened his body and said.

When the New Fourth Regiment was formed, there were only a thousand men, weapons were scarce, and ammunition was not abundant. It was a basic regiment.

However, after joining the independent brigade, the soldiers, weapons and ammunition of the New Fourth Regiment have been replenished. There are more than 1,500 people, and the combat effectiveness is not weak.

Moreover, Xing Zhiguo is also an old Red Army veteran. Although his qualifications are not as good as those of Li Yunlong and others, his tactical command ability is not weak.

Zhao Gang told: "Captain Xing, your regiment is mainly responsible for the feint attack this time. There is no need to engage in direct firefights with the main Japanese forces. Once the Japanese reinforcements are discovered, they will retreat immediately. Yangquan and Niangziguan combined have two mobile troops of the Japanese army. The retreat will be certain."

Be decisive and don't let the devils bite you."

"Yes!" Xing Zhiguo said, "I will definitely pay attention!"

Li Yunlong only issued combat orders. As for the specific combat deployment, Li Yunlong would not interfere much.

Li Yunlong continued: "Zhang Dabiao and your group are responsible for blocking the Japanese troops in the direction of Jingxing County, and Wei Dayong and your group are responsible for robbing the Japanese troops."

"Yes!" Zhang Dabiao and Wei Dayong shouted in unison.

But Kong Jie knocked on the table, frowned and said: "One military column, let alone thousands of tons of supplies, cannot be transported back by our independent brigade alone."

Li Yunlong asked Zhao Gang: "Old Zhao, with our current transportation capacity, how much material can be transported at one time?"

"Assuming that one military horse can transport 500 kilograms, we have 300 military horses and can transport 150,000 kilograms at a time."

"Including the mule carts from our independent brigade logistics department and borrowing them from fellow villagers, we can get about 300 mule carts."

"Each mule cart can transport about 700 kilograms of goods, which is 210,000 kilograms."

Li Yunlong frowned slightly and said: "Thousands of tons of materials, a total of 2 million kilograms, this is only 360,000 kilograms, which is far from enough."

Although the soldiers can also carry some, each person can only carry 50 kilograms because they are traveling a long distance and cannot carry too much weight.

After a pause, Li Yunlong added: "Zhang Wanhe is my fellow villager. I can borrow 300 mule carts from him."

Kong Jie shook his head: "It's still not enough. Don't we have to blow up all the supplies that can't be transported?"

Wei Dayong said: "We can recruit the Jizhong Cavalry Brigade. The Cavalry Brigade has more than 1,600 horses. If it is still not enough, we can borrow the cavalry battalions from the other two brigades of our mobile column and let the soldiers carry some.

That’s pretty much it.”

Li Yunlong's eyes lit up: "That's it, I'll ask the telegraph operator to send a telegram to my two old friends and Commander Ma!"

…

129th Division Mobile Column Headquarters.

Commander Chen couldn't sit still after receiving the telegram from headquarters.

This is thousands of tons of military supplies, which is a fucking windfall.

However, although he knew about it, he did not interfere with Li Yunlong's actions, and just waited for Li Yunlong to take the initiative to hand over the supplies.

Li Yunlong's brigade could not afford thousands of tons of military supplies, and most of them had to be handed over.

Once the Japanese army swept away, there were so many things that it was difficult for the more than 5,000 people of the Independent Brigade to take away so many supplies.

Therefore, after receiving Li Yunlong's telegram, Brigadier Ma Renxing asked for instructions from the column headquarters, and received Commander Chen's reply that the action was approved.

Chen Shifa and Ding Wei noticed Li Yunlong's big move and wanted to get a share of the pie, but Commander Chen turned a blind eye.

…

Outside Yushe County, Cheng Shifa and Ding Wei arrived with their troops and happened to meet each other.

In addition to the cavalry battalion, the two men each also brought a regiment of infantry.

As soon as Cheng Shifa and Ding Wei met, Cheng Shifa pretended to ask: "Old Ding, what are you doing here?"

Seeing the long line of cavalry and infantry behind Cheng Shifa, Ding Wei hummed: "I will do whatever you are here to do."

"Old Ding, have you noticed it too?" Cheng Shifa asked mysteriously, "Li Yunlong is so stupid as to make a big move without telling us?"

Ding Wei smiled and asked, "Don't you see it too?"

Cheng Shifa asked: "Then do you know what big move Li Yunlong wants to make?"

"I didn't say anything, just asked me to borrow the cavalry camp." Ding Wei said, "But looking at the size of the battle, I guess it must be a big deal."

After drinking soup with Li Yunlong several times, Ding Wei tasted the sweetness and would not let go of the opportunity to drink soup again no matter what.

"Same as me." Cheng Shifa chuckled, "Li Yunlong can't let Li Yunlong take advantage of all the good things."

Ding Wei said: "Let's go talk to Li Yunlong."

The two quickly settled their troops outside the city, and then rode towards Yushe County.

As soon as they entered the headquarters of the Independent Brigade, Cheng Shifa and Ding Wei shouted "Old Li, Old Li" one after another.

Hearing these two familiar voices in the brigade headquarters room, both Li Yunlong and Kong Jie secretly said something bad.

However, the expressions of the two men immediately changed, and they came out of the brigade headquarters room with smiles. Seeing Cheng Shifa and Ding Wei coming hand in hand, Li Yunlong smiled and said: "Haha, Lao Cheng, Lao Ding, what kind of wind brought you two here?"

?”

Kong Jie also said: "Old comrades are here, welcome."

Ding Wei did not fall for the tricks of Li Yunlong and Kong Jie. Instead, he looked at Cheng Shifa and said, "Why do I look so fake when looking at Lao Li and Lao Kong?"

"It's more than just a lie." Cheng Shifa snorted, "I shouted welcome, but I wrote unwelcome on my face. If we are not welcome, we can just leave."
