Chapter 494 Commander: The entire northwest of Shanxi may become a mess
Chapter 494 Commander: The entire northwest of Shanxi may become a mess
Li Yunlong led his team through Datong City, which was almost a deserted city, and carefully instructed the soldiers of the independent regiment to leave quickly after entering civilian houses to search for the Japanese and not to damage any property, otherwise the regiment would have to pay compensation.
As the first group to enter the city, we must ensure that no one is harmed.
When Li Yunlong led his team into the Japanese command post in Datong, he still felt a sense of unreality. A year and a half ago, he was still struggling to think about how to face the frontal attack of the Japanese Type B combat forces, and he was still worried about how to face Yamamoto Ikki's special brigade. A year and a half later, he led the independent regiment and stepped into Datong City without bloodshed.
After repeated confirmation, the Japanese gendarmerie left behind immediately fled with some important supplies after learning that the 3rd Independent Mixed Brigade was almost wiped out.
Since the Japanese had already left, the second Japanese would naturally follow suit or simply scatter like birds and beasts.
Li Yunlong explained to the soldiers: "We will eat and drink our own food and water tonight. When the support team arrives tomorrow, we will eat what they bring.
As for the food left by the devils, no one is allowed to touch a single bite."
Now is the critical moment, and Li Yunlong will not allow any mistakes. Although he looks careless and unruly at ordinary times, Lao Li has always been meticulous in marching and fighting, and will not allow any mistakes.
Li Yunlong was also worried that the Japanese retreated so quickly because of some conspiracy. What if something went wrong after he ate the food and drank the water left by the Japanese? If the Japanese came back and attacked him suddenly, he would be dead.
After settling all this, Li Yunlong said to the signalman beside him: "Go, send a telegram to the headquarters and the regiment headquarters, and tell them that I have recaptured Datong City!"
Signalman: “…”
"Captain, do we really need to include the words 'I have recaptured Datong City' in the telegram?"
The signalman was a little stunned when he heard the passionate speech of the regiment commander. He couldn't just submit these few words when reporting the battle situation to the headquarters, right?
"Uh... don't write like this when reporting to the headquarters. Just write that the independent regiment has recaptured Datong City. Forget it. How can I, a regiment commander, teach you about such things as a communicator?
When sending a telegram to the regiment headquarters, just write these words: "I have recaptured Datong City"!
Not a single word can be changed, do you hear me?"
"Yes, leader!"
The signalman wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and finally persuaded the regiment commander. If the regiment commander really sent these words to the headquarters, he would be in trouble.
......
Headquarters.
The brigade commander received the battle report sent by Li Yunlong from Datong City. There were only four simple words on it: Datong, recovered!
Although there are only these few words, in the eyes of the brigade commander, even the most colorful battle report cannot compare to these four words. These four words are simply worth a thousand gold.
"Division Commander, Commander, the damn Li Yunlong has successfully completed the combat mission at Yukou Coal Mine and has now captured Datong City."
It was exactly dinner time. After receiving the telegram, the brigade commander didn't even bother to eat. He ran towards where the commander and the division commander were, grabbing the paper.
At this time, the brigade commander's legs and feet were extremely flexible and he could run faster than a healthy person.
"Ok?"
The commander and division commander who were eating also put down their chopsticks and looked at the brigade commander who was running towards them.
The brigade commander didn't care about anything else. He put the bowl of sweet potatoes and steamed bread aside and slammed the telegram directly on the table.
"Commander, Division Commander, this kid Li Yunlong has taken down Datong City!"
The two leaders were stunned for a moment, then they reacted to what the brigade commander had just said, and realized that Datong City had been captured by our side.
"real or fake?"
"Two leaders, look, this is the telegram Li Yunlong sent back from Datong City. Although this guy often does some unrealistic things, I don't think he has the guts to lie about military intelligence.
Unless this kid is brave enough to cover his body today."
"Hahaha!"
The commander and the division commander were both amused by the brigade commander's words.
After hearing such exciting battle reports, the two leaders who were halfway through their meal lost interest in eating. Each of them took a cooked sweet potato and walked to the combat command room, facing the huge combat map to think about the next strategic deployment.
"Now the balance of power between the enemy and us has reversed in the entire northwest of Shanxi and even in the entire northern Shanxi. As the order established by the devils in the entire northern Shanxi gradually collapses, it is very likely that the entire northwest of Shanxi will become a mess in the near future.
However, what we have to do is to stabilize the situation as quickly as possible and not allow any problems to occur."
The commander pointed to the battle map and spoke to our senior officers around him.
In fact, as the news of the recovery of Datong spread among our high-ranking officers, everyone became restless, and more than one person ran to the headquarters directly with his rice bowl in hand.
Several commanders held sweet potatoes or steamed bread in their hands, and used pens to continuously record the deployments just made by the commander.
"In addition, we have to pay attention to one issue. Old Yan has always regarded Jin as his own territory. No matter if we, the devils, or the national army, as long as we enter Jin, we will inevitably be targeted by him.
Now that we have recovered Datong, a major city in northern Shanxi, we will inevitably arouse Old Yan's fear, and may even block our advance from the southwest, so we must be prepared for the strategic environment to deteriorate in the future."
The division commander made a more detailed analysis of the current situation. The capture of Datong City this time was a victory for a certain stage, but behind this victory there were also considerable concerns.
After the commander and the division commander analyzed the current situation, other officers also expressed their opinions, agreed with the analysis of the two leaders, and put forward suggestions for follow-up measures.
Finally, the commander made the final decision: "Order the local troops and militia around Datong City to go to Datong City and assist the independent regiment in completing the work of taking over Datong City.
The other teams remained vigilant, prepared for any situation that might arise at any time and for possible attacks from the various armies that might follow.
In addition, due to the current production capacity of the Liaoyuan Arsenal, our combat effectiveness has not yet recovered to the level of the Battle of Zhongtiao Mountain, so Li Yunlong's independent regiment needs to continue to divert the enemy's attention and buy time for us.
Order, the independent regiment headquarters to continue to choose the right time to act. "
Upon hearing the order from the commander, the brigade commander muttered in his heart: Li Yunlong was originally a wild kid, and now that he has the commander's order, if he continues to do things according to the order, won't this kid Li Yunlong make trouble?
This kid might even poke a hole in the sky!
