Bright Sword: Infinite Logistics

Chapter 38 The Bold Plan

On the morning of August [-]st, Zhangzhuang, the headquarters of the new regiment.

Luo Yuanfan looked at the map hanging on the wall, his face ashen.He did not expect that at the beginning of August, the Japanese would give such a "big gift" to the troops.

According to the news from the brigade correspondent, the Japanese in the entire Wuxiang and Yushe areas began to retreat, killing people wherever they saw them, burning villages and cities, and destroying everything they saw.What they can’t get, even the Eighth Route Army can’t get.

Just the losses that are now known are already heartbreaking enough to make people unable to breathe - fourteen villages were burned and more than two hundred people were massacred.

This is only the information collected by the new group in the Wudong area.If it is expanded to two counties, and if it can be fully counted, how big will this number be?
"Son of a bitch!" Luo Yuanfan yelled at the map.

The only good news at the moment is that the troops of the new regiment were originally dispersed and scattered near various Japanese strongholds in Wudong, just waiting for an ambush.

Therefore, as soon as the incident happened, the platoon leaders of each company quickly took up their responsibilities, took the initiative to exchange fire with the Japanese, stopped the Japanese from advancing, and covered the evacuation of the people.Many villages received timely support and avoided greater tragedies.

But this also means that the entire Wudong has turned into a pot of porridge, and the new regiment has lost control of the situation.

Luo Yuanfan now doesn't even know where the troops of the new regiment are, and where they are going to gather them. He can only wait for the troops to return to the army after fighting.

And at this tense time, Li Yunlong was still "trucking class" and not at the regiment headquarters!

"Bad Li Yunlong!" Luo Yuanfan yelled.

Meng Zhige stood up quickly: "Director Luo, calm down..."

"How can I calm down? To deliver some supplies, do you want him to be a regimental commander to personally lead the team? If he lets me off the hook at the critical moment, I will have to sue him in front of the brigade commander!"

Bang!
The door to the regiment headquarters was kicked open: "Who is going to report me in front of the brigade commander!"

Li Yunlong walked into the regiment headquarters with a murderous look on his face and a choking smell of gunpowder on his body.Obviously, on the way back, Li Yunlong had already bumped into the Japanese and took action.

"Me!" Luo Yuanfan glared at Li Yunlong: "You still know how to come back! As soon as the gunfire rang out, all the troops of the new regiment were involved with the Japanese, but you, the regiment leader, disappeared without a trace!"

"What's missing? I've long been at war with the Japs, and even killed a detachment!"

Li Yunlong knew that he was in the wrong.The duty of the regiment leader is to command, not to charge into battle.Normally, when an emergency occurs, the regiment commander should direct the troops' actions at the regiment headquarters. The situation like this when no one can be found is somewhat outrageous.

So Li Yunlong did not continue talking, but changed the topic.

"I bumped into the brigade commander's correspondent on the way. I've figured out the general situation. What's the current situation of the special agent company?"

Luo Yuanfan also knew that now was not the time to argue, so he suppressed his anger: "The entire regiment is ready for battle. However, even if the troops outside the regiment can be contacted, it is unlikely to withdraw from the battle."

"It doesn't matter. A few hundred people from the regiment are enough." Li Yunlong walked to the wall and looked at the map on the wall.His finger pointed at Zhangzhuang, and then moved west, west, west... for sixty miles.Luo Yuanfan and Meng Zhige looked at Li Yunlong's fingers, and their hearts skipped a beat.

"There are more than 200 people in the regiment, carrying only guns, ammunition and a day's worth of dry food. They will arrive near the county seat before tomorrow, and then stop Wudong's Japs outside the county seat!" Li Yunlong clicked on Wuxiang County on the map and turned around : "The Japs in Wudong first exchanged fire with various companies and platoons. After finally returning to the county town, they just breathed a sigh of relief and were slapped again by me! Then let Lao Hu lead the team and follow the Japs in pursuit. Then it would be two sides. A pincer attack is enough for these bastards to drink from a bottle."

This bold plan stunned both Luo Yuanfan and Meng Zhige.After a long while, Luo Yuanfan said: "I don't agree, it's too risky! There are hundreds of Japanese and puppet troops in Wuxiang, and you lead the regiment to stop them under their noses? In case the Japanese come out of the city, together with the Japanese from Wudong, give it to you What do you do with a double bun?"

"I think you look like a new member of the new group." Li Yunlong curled his lips: "Have you forgotten what Old Ding is good at? Invisibility!"

"This time, I also learned from Lao Ding. I picked some people to put on makeup and sneak into the county town, waiting for an opportunity to cause chaos and buy time for the resistance outside the city. As soon as the devils in the city came out, I asked the pillars to blow up their crazy waves, and then led them Retreat with the regiment headquarters."

"Besides, I will lay some more landmines at the gate of the county town. If you have the ability, just come over there!"

"As for you, go and report to the brigade commander. Just say that this kid Li Yunlong is acting stupid again. He wants to engage in some kind of military adventure. He took the regiment headquarters and rushed directly to the county seat. You are just the director of the political department, better than me. Half a level below, I can't persuade but can't persuade, and I can't stop but can't stop."

"You!" Luo Yuanfan raised his finger and pointed at Li Yunlong, breathing rapidly.

Reason told him that Li Yunlong was provoking himself and wanted to inform the brigade commander of the plan by himself, so as not to mess up the situation and no one would clean up the mess.But emotionally, he really wanted to slap Li Yunlong in the face. What was he saying?Ironic?

"Okay, okay, you two, stop arguing. Everyone has the same purpose, and there's nothing to argue about. If you have the energy, why not improve the plan." Meng Zhige stood up.

As expected of Li Yunlong, who had a bad relationship with several political commissars. Even if the political commissar of the new regiment was recuperating in the hospital and would not be able to come back within a few months, he would still quarrel with the director of the political department.

"Since Lao Li has proposed the plan, let me tell you my opinion." Meng Zhige cleared his throat: "As planned, a batch of supplies will arrive tomorrow. I will directly have the supplies delivered to the edge of the position. Canned meat Let’s forget it for now and replace everything with machine guns, grenades and mortars. After the regiment’s equipment is strengthened, the chance of winning this plan should be higher, right?”

"Mortar?!" Li Yunlong's attention was immediately attracted by this word.

"Yes, I can give you a few more mortars. During the ambush, just ask Wang Chengzhu to adjust the shooting angle in advance, and then let others fire. Although the impact point of the shells will be crooked after one round, but let the Japanese It’s okay to lie down a little longer.”

Li Yunlong laughed: "Counselor Meng, you don't know something. Our Eighth Route Army has fewer cannons and fewer artillery shells. If the old mortars in our regiment want to fire, normally they have to ask the brigade commander for permission first. You Let me fire several cannons at the same time, and I'm afraid the Japanese will regard my mere regiment as the main force of our Eighth Route Army!"

Meng Zhige laughed out loud: "Lao Li, would you like to play the main role of the Eighth Route Army?"

"Of course I would!"

"Okay." Meng Zhige looked at Luo Yuanfan beside him: "Director Luo, what do you think?"

"Hmph, with Advisor Meng temporarily increasing the firepower, the risk will indeed be much lower." Luo Yuanfan's expression softened a little: "I agree."
