Chapter 84 Don’t let the brigade commander know!
Eighth Route Army Headquarters.
Early in the morning, the radio station at the headquarters was beeping non-stop.
The officers at the headquarters were in a hurry. They were busier than usual this morning.
The boss's eyes were fixed on the map, and his expression looked a little solemn. There were wars everywhere, but the headquarters didn't know what was going on.
The chief of staff held a telegram and said: "The news I just received is that the Japanese ninth brigade stationed in Taiyuan and the fourth brigade stationed in Yangquan, as well as some small groups of Japanese troops in other directions, have been dispatched since the morning.
, some local troops even exchanged fire with the Japs’ vanguard troops.”
"What kind of wars are these?" The boss threw the pencil on the map. "There are wars everywhere, but our headquarters doesn't know what's going on!"
"Check immediately and find out what happened!"
At this time, the decoder walked in and saluted: "Report to the chief, telegram!"
The chief of staff quickly turned around and said: "Give it to me!"
Taking the telegram from the decoder, the chief of staff immediately read it over and then said: "Boss, according to the enemy's latest radio signal intercepted, the enemy mentioned a place name, Qi County, multiple times in the telegram."
"Qixian?"
The boss quickly found the location of Qi County on the map, glanced at it, pointed at the map and said: "This is it. The direction of movement of the Japanese Fourth Brigade and Ninth Brigade is Qi County. Go check it immediately and see if it is in Qi County."
In the end what happened?"
"Already checked."
The boss was slightly startled, as if he had thought of something, and asked: "Isn't it Li Yunlong again?"
The chief of staff said: "After Li Yunlong's independent regiment asked for instructions from the 386th Brigade Headquarters, last night he led his troops to attack the Huting stronghold in Qi County."
"I knew it was him!"
The boss was stunned, and then quickly found the location of Huting's stronghold on the map.
"That's not right. How could there be such a big commotion in the Huting stronghold? Even the Japanese from Taiyuan were dispatched!" The boss' eyelids twitched slightly, "Li Yunlong, a fool like this, isn't he attacking the county seat of Qi County?
"
Apart from this, the boss can't think of any other explanation. Otherwise, how could the Japanese reinforce Qixian County on a large scale?
The boss said: "Qixian County, there is a Japanese brigade there, the Eighth Mixed Brigade of the Puppet Army, with a total of at least 4,000 people. He, Li Yunlong, only has more than a thousand people and no heavy weapons, so why would he dare to attack the county town?"
"Boss, have you forgotten what Brigadier Chen said in the telegram last time?" said the Chief of Staff, "The Independence Regiment invented a flying thunder cannon, which killed more than 20 Japs with one shot. Let alone bomb the Japs."
It is not impossible to blow up the turrets and bunkers and blow through the city walls."
"Of course, this is all our speculation. We still don't know what really happened in Qi County..."
However, although we don't know what exactly happened in Qi County, one thing is certain.
This matter was definitely caused by Li Yunlong.
"No matter what happened in Qixian County!" the boss ordered, "give me orders to all the troops to block the enemy's reinforcements at all costs. Even if we have to punish Li Yunlong, we have to wait until the battle is over!"
…
386 Brigade.
Brigadier Chen and Deputy Brigadier Han were also staring at the map closely at this moment.
Because judging from the map, the direction in which the Japanese Yangquan 4th Brigade and Taiyuan 9th Brigade were marching seemed to be heading towards the 386th Brigade.
This put a lot of pressure on the two brigade commanders.
"Report to the brigade commander, telegram from headquarters!"
Deputy Brigadier Han: "Read it!"
Decoder: "The Japanese Army's 4th Brigade, 9th Brigade and other small units are aiming to reinforce Qi County, and your troops are ordered to block the enemy's reinforcements at all costs."
Deputy Brigadier Han said with a smile: "After all, it is the headquarters. The information is better than ours. The enemy has just been dispatched, and the information has reached the headquarters."
Brigadier Chen also breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately raised his heart in his throat: "It must be Li Yunlong who made the noise in Qixian County. I shouldn't have approved him to attack the Huting stronghold. It's better now. I almost did it."
All the Japs in Shanxi were alerted!"
Deputy Brigadier Han smiled and said: "Even if we don't approve it, I'm afraid Li Yunlong will mobilize troops without authorization to attack the Huting stronghold."
"How dare he!?" Brigadier Chen shouted.
Deputy Brigadier Han said: "Have you forgotten the last time Li Yunlong mobilized a regiment of troops without authorization to attack the Japanese transport stations in Wanjia Town and Zhengtai Road?"
"This Li Yunlong, I've rolled up his captain's hat sooner or later!" The brigade commander threw the pencil on the map and said angrily, "He's causing trouble for me all day long!"
Deputy Brigadier Han said: "Commander, don't forget that you personally approved Li Yunlong's attack on the Huting stronghold."
"I don't think it's that simple. Li Yunlong and his regiment went to attack a small Huting stronghold. They couldn't make such a big noise. At most, other strongholds and the county seat of Qixian County sent troops to reinforce, so that the Japanese from Yangquan and Taiyuan wouldn't be dispatched.
." The brigade commander stared at the map and analyzed.
Then, the brigade commander glanced at the location of the county seat of Qixian County and said with some shock: "Could it be that Li Yunlong didn't have a stronghold to attack Huting and went to attack the county seat of Qixian County?"
"Don't tell me, it's really possible. There's nothing in the world that Li Yunlong wouldn't dare to do." Deputy Brigadier Han said with a wry smile, "Li Yunlong destroyed the Yamazaki Brigade a few days ago, so we shouldn't praise him. This kid shouldn't
If you always praise me, something will happen!"
Brigadier Chen said: "How many days have we finished fighting the Yamazaki Brigade? You have caused such a big trouble for me!"
Deputy Brigadier Han: "Let's leave Li Yunlong alone for now. Let's carry out the orders from the headquarters and let all the troops block the enemy's reinforcements."
Hearing this, Brigadier Chen nodded and ordered: "Order the 771st Regiment, the 772nd Regiment, the New First Regiment, and the New Second Regiment to block the enemy's reinforcements at all costs. If someone's defense area lets a Japanese go to Qi County, I will be killed."
Kill him!"
…
Independent group.
Li Yunlong was reminded by Wei Dayong's words.
The last time I visited Wanjia Town and Guizizhengtai Road Transport Station, I didn't know who was behind the scenes.
Just as the loot captured from Wanjia Town and the transportation station was transported back to the Independent Regiment, the brigade commander called to congratulate him on his fortune.
But this time it was different. The brigade commander only knew that the independent regiment went to attack the Huting stronghold, but he did not know that the independent regiment also hunted rabbits and eliminated the eighth mixed brigade of the puppet army.
"Monk, you reminded me!"
Li Yunlong said loudly: "Xiao Zhang, go and call political commissar Zhao, Zhang Dabiao, Shen Quan, Wang Huaibao, and Sun Desheng to come to me and tell me that there is a meeting!"
"yes!"
When several cadres of the Independent Regiment were gathered together, Li Yunlong's eyes seemed to be able to penetrate people's hearts and swept over everyone's faces.
"No one is allowed to tell anyone about our elimination of the Eighth Mixed Brigade of the Puppet Army this time, otherwise I will rot in my stomach!"
"The most important thing is, don't let the brigade commander know."
"If anyone tells anyone, I won't be able to spare him!"
"Did you hear everything!?"
Everyone looked stern and shouted in unison: "Understood!"
Zhao Gang straightened his expression and said: "Old Li, your sectionalism is too serious. You knew the truth and did not report it to your superiors. If your superiors knew about it, you would be criticized lightly, and you might be punished severely. "
