"Old Li, why don't you say it first?" Kong Jie also saw Li Yunlong's sudden change in expression and asked with a smile.
Li Yunlong is the kind of person who likes to be in the limelight. He had no intention of refusing at all and immediately stood up: "Then I'm not welcome."
"The Japanese army gathered heavy troops to raid our base area in the wing..."
"In the past, our troops were divided into three groups. Our troops needed to disperse and fight, and they were all dragged on the battlefield."
"I don't have to worry about it now."
"The three-pronged mopping up troops are united. As long as Xiao Huang persists in Pingyang Town for one more day, the Japs' mopping up troops will be delayed for one more day."
"The Wangdu Defense Regiment and the Mancheng Defense Regiment are also idle."
"Although the two regiments have not many troops, they have very strong firepower."
"Especially the artillery, it's almost never used."
"If we fight all the way into Baoding, we will definitely turn the place into a pot of porridge."
"If the enemy's rear is unstable, no matter how powerful the front-line combat troops are, they will have no intention of fighting."
Kong Jie then interjected: "Old Li..."
"I'm not telling you, you are still too timid."
"What's the use of just messing with Baoding? If you hit a snake seven inches, if we want to fight, we'll hit a little devil seven inches."
"Okamura Neiji is personally in charge of Baoding. If danger occurs there, the mopping up troops will definitely send troops back to protect Okamura Neiji."
"The Duer Group also needs to make some moves."
"The only way for Japanese and puppet troops to lurk in return to support Baoding."
"Perhaps we can even fight for reinforcements and kill two of their brigades."
"It can not only rescue Xiao Huang, but also continue to weaken the strength of the mopping up troops, killing two birds with one stone."
Li Yunlong was bold, but he was limited to attacking county towns.
Baoding is a big city, heavily defended, and the commander of the North China Front, Okamura Neiji, lives in it. The defense must be extremely tight, and it is not comparable to that of a county town.
He thought about going to Baoding, but the disparity in strength between the two sides was too great. He was afraid that he would break his own teeth if he stole the chicken but lost the rice. He had the heart but not the courage.
Unexpectedly, Kong Jie was more courageous than himself, and once again subverted his understanding of his old comrades.
I was very shocked inside, but I didn't agree with this proposal.
Then he expressed his thoughts: "Lao Kong..."
"Baoding is indeed a little devil, I want to fight him too!"
"But the two garrison regiments combined have more than a thousand people."
"Although the Baoding garrison has been reduced a lot due to the large-scale raids, there are still two infantry brigades."
"Including the puppet troops assisting in the defense of the city, there must be no less than 3,000 people."
"Coupled with the strong fortifications of Baoding City, if we attack them with this small force, it will be the same as sending us to death."
"I don't want us to lose all our money before the counter-sweep is over."
Kong Jie shook his head and retorted: "What nonsense are you talking about..."
"Old Li, I, Kong Jie, are not bragging."
"If I can lead troops to Baoding, let alone more than a thousand people, even if there are only five or six hundred people, I can defeat the Baoding garrison and force Neji Okamura to send troops back from the front line for reinforcements."
"Who doesn't know how to brag..." Li Yunlong asked with an expression of disbelief on the spot.
"There is a disparity of two to three times in strength. We still attack the city. How can we fight?"
Kong Jie retorted again: "I really didn't brag to you."
"It is true that the Baoding garrison has more troops than the two garrison regiments combined, but because they are defending the city, the heavy weapons equipped by the garrison basically strengthen the mopping up troops."
"This is our only chance to defeat the Baoding garrison."
"If you're lucky enough, you might be able to hit the headquarters of the Little Japs Brigade with one shot and kill that old Japs Okamura Neji."
"Then our Eighth Route Army in the Wings will really be famous."
Li Yunlong's mind was running rapidly,
He was mentally calculating the artillery strength of the two garrison regiments.
After staring at the map and thinking for a minute, he replied: "It's really possible."
"The two garrison regiments combined have more than forty artillery pieces of various types."
"Firing the cannons at the same time is really powerful."
After saying that, he became very excited, stared at Kong Jie and started to grab the task.
"Lao Kong, the task of raiding Baoding must be handed over to me. No one can compete with me."
"It's best to transfer the field artillery battalion of the Duer Regiment to me."
"The field artillery has a long range and can cover the entire Baoding City."
"One salvo can hit sixteen field artillery shells."
"Maybe if I get lucky, I can kill Neji Okamura with one shot."
The more he spoke, the bigger the smile on his face became. Before Kong Jie could nod, he said in a commanding tone.
"That `s a deal."
"You lead the Duer Regiment to fight for reinforcements, and I will attack Baoding. Let's set off now."
Kong Jie did not refuse Li Yunlong's request for a fight.
As the leader of the Duer Regiment, he must stay with the troops, stay at the base, and uniformly command the counter-mopping operations in the base.
Huang Yu was stuck in Pingyang Town again, and the only people who could go were Shen Quan and Li Yunlong.
In comparison, Li Yunlong is obviously more qualified for this position.
Only then did Kong Jie look at the communications platoon leader waiting aside.
Seeing a telegram in his hand, he quickly asked: "Platoon Commander Li, is this the telegram from Xiao Huang?"
"Deputy Chief of Staff Huang has an urgent call!"
The communications platoon leader quickly handed the telegram to Kong Jie.
"The content mentioned above is similar to what you and the deputy commander said."
"Please ask the regiment headquarters to adjust the counter-mopping plan as soon as possible, divide the troops to raid Baoding, and disrupt the Japanese rear area."
"The main force of the Duer Regiment went around between Baoding and Pingyang Town to ambush the Japanese and puppet troops returning to support Baoding."
"Deputy Chief of Staff Huang is confident that he will lead the troops to defend Pingyang Town for three days."
When Li Yunlong heard the words "three days", his expression changed.
Kong Jie's expression became particularly serious at this moment. He waved his hand to signal the communications platoon leader to leave before speaking to Li Yunlong.
"Old Li..."
"Whether it's an ambush or a raid on Baoding, the combat difficulty is not as difficult as defending Pingyang Town."
"According to the new plan we have discussed, the pressure of counter-mopping up will all fall on Xiao Huang's shoulders."
"I heard that the Japanese troops had blasted their way into the town along the tunnels."
"The troops' counterattack tonight was ineffective because the Japanese took the initiative to withdraw their troops."
"The pressure of the next battle will also increase."
"To tell you the truth: I'm worried that Xiao Huang won't be able to hold on for three days."
"Even if he can defend it, it will be difficult for him to break out from the encirclement of the Japanese and puppet troops."
Li Yunlong deeply agreed.
He is a veteran on the battlefield. Just listening to the comparison of the strength of the two sides will tell you how much pressure Huang Yu is facing.
But there is no way.
The battlefield is fair. If the Yi Zhong Eighth Route Army wants to make breakthroughs on other battlefields, it will definitely lose points on other battlefields, and may even have to make the decision to sacrifice a certain unit at the expense of a strong man.
For the sake of the overall situation, to win the counter-mopping up and keep the base area, Kong Jie decided to retreat the Shunping garrison to the forefront no matter how unwilling he was.
Let him help the main force withstand all the pressure from the Japanese mopping up troops and buy time for other anti-mopping up troops.
Picking up the telegram that Huang Yu had just sent, he read it carefully and said, "Huang Yu said that he was confident that he would guard it for three days. There must be something to comfort us in it."
"As long as we can make a breakthrough within two days."
To be continued...
