Bright Sword: We Li Yunlong are fighting elites

Chapter 243 Another promotion!

Ji Zeming continued: "However, we have to guard against them. Xiangyuan City is the closest to Xiantang Mountain, and may be attacked by Li Yunlong."

"Deploy an infantry brigade to garrison Xiangyuan City to strengthen Xiangyuan's defense forces and closely monitor the movements of Li Yunlong's troops."

"In addition, we will deploy elite soldiers and generals to strengthen the defense forces in the areas along the Tailu Highway."

"Recruit civilians to build more artillery strongholds along the main sections of the road to enhance the safety of the Tailu Highway."

"This highway is our lifeline and there is absolutely no room for loss."

"Hay!"

The devil Shao Zuo quickly responded, "I'll do it for the humble job."

Ji Zeming waved his hand slightly, indicating that he can go.

The devil Shaozuo retreated respectfully, and then Ji Zeming personally drafted a telegram, which was a telegram to report to Gangcun Ninger, commander of the North China Dispatch Army.

After finishing writing, Ji Zeming checked it carefully again, and then ordered someone to send the telegram to Peiping immediately.

……

In Beiping, Major General Yukio Kasahara found Ningji Gangmura with a telegram, and said respectfully: "Report to Your Excellency, Commander, the head of the Luzhou Yoshizawa Brigade has sent an urgent telegram."

"Luzhou?"

Gangcun Ninger quickly asked, "Is there something going on over there?"

Kasahara Yukio quickly replied: "According to Yoshizawa-kun's report, Li Yunlong led his troops into the northern area of ​​Luzhou. He guessed that the Eighth Route Army seems to have the intention of seeking the Luzhou area."

Hearing this, Gangcun Ninger couldn't help but frowned, and said, "Li Yunlong, since I arrived in North China, I've been hearing this name constantly. Is this guy really so powerful?"

Kasahara Yukio replied: "The humble staff has carefully studied all the information on this Li Yunlong. This guy is indeed a difficult opponent."

"Most of the failure of the imperial army in Shanxi was related to Li Yunlong."

"At present, the new regiment under him is powerful. It is said that it is the strongest regiment under the Eighth Route Army. Its strength should not be underestimated."

"And this guy often plays cards out of common sense and is cunning, so he has repeatedly humiliated the imperial army."

Gangcun Ning Er nodded slightly, and said: "I have read about Li Yunlong's information, and it seems that our various departments have almost the same evaluation on this Li Yunlong."

"That is to say, now this guy has become a huge threat to the imperial army."

Kasahara Yukio replied: "Hayi! If Li Yunlong is not eliminated, the situation in Shanxi may be difficult to control."

Gangcun Ning Er got up and walked to the front of the map, stared at the map for a while, and said: "The Luzhou area is very important to both the enemy and us, and it can be said to be a battleground for military strategists."

"The Eighth Route Army sent elite troops into the Luzhou area, obviously intending to seize it."

"Once Luzhou falls into the enemy's hands, the situation in Shanxi will become even worse."

"Hay!"

Yukio Kasahara responded respectfully: "Your Excellency, Commander, is very true. Once Luzhou falls into the enemy's hands, the enemy's Taihang and Taiyue bases will be completely connected."

"At that time, their strength will definitely be further improved, and they will pose a greater threat to the imperial army."

Gangcun Ning Er nodded and said, "That's right, so we must ensure the safety of the Luzhou area."

Yukio Kasahara said: "Kun Yoshizawa obviously intended to ask us for help when he sent this telegram, but judging from our current situation, we may not be able to deploy troops to support them in a short time."

Gangcun Ning Er frowned and said: "Last time, the imperial army suffered a terrible defeat, resulting in heavy losses, and the transportation lines in various places have not been fully restored up to now."

"Everywhere continues to replenish troops and restore order. It is indeed difficult to mobilize enough troops to support Luzhou."

"I have already reported to the military department, requesting to send more troops to North China to stabilize the situation in North China."

"But it will take some time, so for now, we can only take a defensive position and wait for the time to mature before making further plans."

Kasahara Yukio said: "Hay! Your Excellency Commander is wise, the Luzhou area..."

Gangcun Ninger said: "Inform Mr. Ji Ze, let them stick to the main towns, closely monitor the actions of the Eighth Road, and do not take the initiative to take military action for the time being."

"We suffered heavy losses in this battle, and the Eight Routes also suffered heavy losses. They also need time to recover. I guess if we don't take the initiative to launch an attack, they may not dare to attack our heavily guarded city."

"So we can use this period of time to gradually accumulate strength, and when the time is right, we can launch a new round of campaign against the Eight Routes."

"At that time, not only the Taiyue and Taihang areas, but also the Eight Routes in other places, we will completely clean them up bit by bit."

"So we have to speed up our preparations. The most important thing is to ask the military to send us more troops to supplement our strength."

"In addition, we must further strengthen the strength of the various departments of the Imperial Association Army. Although these troops are mobs and are far from being able to compare with the Imperial Army, their presence can help the Imperial Army relieve some of the pressure."

"Hay!"

Kasahara Yukio quickly responded: "Please rest assured, Commander, we will step up efforts in this regard to further enhance the combat effectiveness of these imperial association troops."

Ningji Okamura nodded slightly, and waved his hand, indicating that Yukio Kasahara could step back.

After Kasahara Yukio withdrew, Okamura Ningji couldn't help but sigh.

The current North China is a mess, and Gangcun Ning Er just took over such a mess, and he is also deeply troubled.

Given the current situation, it is extremely difficult to stabilize the situation and completely wipe out the resistance forces in North China.

Even Gangcun Ning Er has always been conceited, and there is no particularly good way for a while.

If there is no other way, Gangcun Ninger is really unwilling to take over such a mess.

The faction fighting among the little devils' army was also very fierce, and several mutinies were triggered for this reason.

Even now, factional fighting is fierce.

The reason why Gangcun Ninger fought well in Wuhan, but was suddenly transferred back to some idle position as a military councilor, was because he was on the wrong team and became a victim of factional struggle.

However, this incident in North China gave Gangcun Ninger a chance.

No one wants to take over this mess, so the people in the military department thought of Gangcun Ninger.

Gangcun Ninger was also forced to take up the post in North China. After all, if he did not accept this position, he might not know how long he would be left on the bench.

Coming to North China to be the commander, after all, he was promoted to a higher level and served as the commander of the front army. Before that, he was just a commander of the army.

Of course, opportunities and challenges coexist. As long as he does well in North China, his future will naturally be brighter.

It's just that the old devil didn't expect that the mess in North China would be so bad.

It has come, and he can only grit his teeth and persevere.

And for his own future, he has to do his best to be the commander, and strive to pacify North China as soon as possible.

At this time, Gangcun Ninger also tried his best to ask the military for power, reinforcements, and weapons and equipment.

Want everything you can want, and fight for what you can't come.

Because now the bigwigs in the military department also have requests from him, and they will definitely try their best to meet his requests.

And if they don't agree, he can shirk his responsibility if he can't clean up this mess in the future.

So now, in order for Gangcun Ninger to pacify North China as soon as possible, the Devil's Army must agree to his request as much as possible.

However, whether it is deploying troops or dispatching supplies, it will take time.

So now Gangcun Ning Er can only pray secretly that during this period of time, there will be no major changes.

……

Li Yunlong just walked out of the house after the meeting, and saw Zhou Weiguo waiting in the yard.

Li Yunlong shouted: "Guo Wei!"

Zhou Weiguo hurried over when he heard Li Yunlong's shout.

"Captain, you have something to do with me!"

"Sit down!"

Li Yunlong pointed to the seat next to him, Zhou Weiguo was not polite and sat down.

Li Yunlong said: "The last time you attacked the Wangzhuang stronghold, your platoon did a great job. You wiped out [-] little devils, beat off two companies of the puppet army, and seized a large number of weapons and equipment."

"It is precisely because you have weakened the enemy's strength that we were able to take down the Wangzhuang stronghold so easily. You should take the lead in this battle."

"What's even more commendable is that after a battle, only two people were slightly injured, and no one was sacrificed. It was a beautiful job."

Zhou Weiguo quickly said: "Thank you for the compliment, head."

Li Yunlong went on to say: "I have already discussed with the political commissar. This time you are serving as the sharp knife platoon. You have completed the task very well, and you have also made meritorious service. It is really unreasonable not to reward you."

"I've already reported it to my superiors, and I will give you a collective second-class merit. I think it will be approved soon."

"And you, Zhou Weiguo, have been promoted to deputy company commander and still serve as platoon leader."

The surrounding foreign countries were overjoyed when they heard the words, and said with a smile: "So, I have been promoted again?"

Li Yunlong nodded, and said, "Look at your official fanaticism."

Zhou Weiguo smiled and said, "Isn't it just because I want to start building a special force as soon as possible?"

Li Yunlong said: "I'm not in a hurry for this moment, just wait!"

"We can carry out relevant preparatory work. When the time is right, the formation of a special force will be a matter of course."

Zhou Weiguo quickly responded: "Everything is at the discretion of the regiment leader."

Li Yunlong went on to say: "Recently, the troops have basically focused on training. At the same time, we will also recruit new soldiers in the local area to expand our strength."

"That is to say, for the time being, there is no major military action."

"However, in order to prepare for the recovery of Luzhou in the future, we also plan to send a few small troops out to various places in the thirteen counties of Luzhou to inquire about the enemy's situation and familiarize themselves with the terrain."

"Your platoon is all veterans, you don't need to train anymore, and you have a share in this mission."

"After you go out, you must take advantage of this opportunity and strive to make a few more contributions, so that I can continue to promote you in a legitimate way."

Zhou Weiguo said happily: "That's really great, you can rest assured, we promise to complete the task."

"By the way, kill a few more little devils."

"Haha~!"

Li Yunlong laughed and said, "Then I will wait for your good news."
