Chapter 84: Once the gunfire sounds, the whole group must listen to me! (Seeking votes)
After Ding Wei finished reading the information, Li Yunlong spoke to Ding Wei again.
"How about it?
Captain Ding, do you think there are any other problems?
If you think there is no problem, I will start assigning combat tasks."
Ding Wei noticed that everyone's eyes were on him and nodded.
"I have no problem, Li Yunlong. I will listen to you from now on. Let's divide the tasks."
Kong Jie, who had been waiting for a long time, said quickly: "Old Li, let our independent regiment take charge of the main attack on Qinghe County this time?"
There was a hint of urgency and a hint of pleading in Kong Jie's voice.
Li Yunlong glanced at Kong Jie. He naturally understood why Kong Jie wanted to take the lead in the attack mission.
Li Yunlong did not agree to his old comrade's request and simply shook his head to refuse.
"This time, the main attack mission is assigned to the New 1st Regiment and the Vanguard Battalion. Ding Wei and Qin Yangming will lead their respective troops to attack the city."
"All the new recruits from the New 1st Regiment and the Independent Regiment's new recruit battalion and guard platoon were dispatched, along with the 800 new recruits given to us by the brigade commander, to fight the reinforcements.
Except for the vanguard battalion, the remaining troops of the independent regiment serve as reserve forces. "
As soon as Li Yunlong finished speaking, Kong Jie became anxious.
"Li Yunlong, what do you mean?
You look down on my independent group, don't you?"
"Why should I let the independent regiment serve as the reserve force?"
"The new recruits can go fight for reinforcements. The battle is going on in the front, and you want me to lead the independent regiment to watch the fun from the back?
No, I don't agree with this battle plan!
Our independent regiment must also launch the main attack!"
"What are you doing, what are you doing!"
"What do you want to do, Kong Jie?"
"His eyes were as big as cow eggs."
"If you're angry, Kong Jie, go bang your head against the wall, don't take it out on me!"
"Why are you glaring at me?
I am the leader of an independent regiment and I am not in a hurry, so why are you in a hurry? "
Kong Jie listened to Li Yunlong's words and said angrily: "You still know that you are the leader of the independent regiment, you are not in a hurry."
"You've been spoiled by the brigade commander."
"Disobeying orders on the battlefield is such a serious crime. If it were me, Kong Jie, I would be shot twice!"
Li Yunlong listened to this and pointed at Ding Wei: "Kong Erlangzi, if you ask me, you don't know the rules as well as Old Ding. Look, the brigade commander gave the order himself and told him to listen to me, and he came here without a word of complaint."
Kong Jie tilted his head and raised his hand to interrupt Li Yunlong.
"Okay, don't talk nonsense to me.
You, Li Yunlong, are not in a hurry, but I can't stand it. In the whole regiment, except you, Li Yunlong and the vanguard battalion, who else has not made meritorious contributions while serving his sentence?
If you don't pick a tough battle, how can you turn things around?"
When Kong Jie said this, his eyes became moist.
Originally, he was very happy when he learned that Li Yunlong was going to attack Qinghe County.
The attack on Qinghe County not only had the approval of the headquarters, but Li Yunlong was also the commander of this battle.
Li Yunlong is still the commander of the independent regiment. No matter what, the tough battle of attacking Qinghe County will definitely fall on the independent regiment.
By then, the Independent Regiment will be able to use this battle to turn things around and tell everyone that the Independent Regiment is not just a bunch of dough, but a real main force regiment!
But Kong Jie never expected that Li Yunlong would actually give the main attack mission to Ding Wei's New 1st Regiment.
Ding Wei felt a little uncomfortable when he saw the expression of his old comrade. When he was about to ask to give up the main attack mission, Kong Jie spoke again.
"Li Yunlong, I think you are a full man who doesn't know the hunger of a hungry man.
I tell you, the honor of our independent regiment depends on this battle.
If I can't count on you,
Then don't blame me for not cooperating with you."
Li Yunlong listened to what Kong Jie said. He was already under some pressure because he had to take over Qinghe County within three days, and he became angry after being provoked by this.
Li Yunlong looked at Kong Jie, then rolled his eyes and glanced at everyone.
"You dare? Without my order, I, Li Yunlong, I don't think any of you dare to move a finger!"
"What did you say, kid?
I tell you Kong Jie, the new regiment is just outside now, go and ask around.
I, Li Yunlong, have been polite enough to you.
When it comes to swearing, in the new group, I am the only one who can swear at others. Who dares to show their teeth to me?
I have been up and down five times since I started in Hubei, Henan and Anhui.
I've been removed from my position as group leader three or four times, and you're glaring at me?
You are not qualified yet!" "Are you anxious?
Don't kick me even if you're in a hurry!
I tell you, I can usually give in to you a little.
When the gunfire sounds, the whole regiment must obey me!
You gotta shut up, kid!"
Kong Jie became even angrier after hearing what Li Yunlong said. He raised his finger and pointed at Li Yunlong: "Old Li, you..."
Before Kong Jie could finish his words, he was stopped by Zhao Gang and Ding Wei.
Zhao Gang pulled Ding Wei to sit down and comforted him: "Lao Kong, come, sit down and cool down. Lao Li is under a lot of pressure now, don't provoke him."
Ding Wei quickly said to Li Yunlong: "Old Li, how about I lead the New 1st Regiment to fight the reinforcements, and separate a battalion plus new soldiers as the reserve, and let the independent regiment and the vanguard battalion take the lead in the attack?"
Li Yunlong didn't buy what Zhao Gang and Ding Wei said, and continued: "You two should not be good teachers to me!"
"You have all read the brigade's orders, and everyone must obey my orders!
The New 1st Regiment and the Vanguard Battalion will be the main force, and the Independent Regiment will be the reserve. This is it! "
“Kong Jie, I am warning you that this battle is very important and we cannot afford to lose.
I have already put my head on the line for this battle. If you make a mistake, don't blame me for not respecting comradeship!"
"You want to fight back, but there are plenty of devils. We don't need to waste any time. I will not allow any unexpected situations to happen in this battle!"
"The morale of the independent regiment has just been restored, and the personnel and equipment are not in the best condition. Only the Vanguard Battalion and the New 1st Regiment have the teeth to chew this tough bone!"
Kong Jie listened to Li Yunlong's explanation, and naturally knew in his heart that what Li Yunlong meant was that except for the Vanguard Battalion, the combat effectiveness of the Independent Regiment was not as good as that of the New 1st Regiment, and could not even be compared with the Vanguard Battalion alone.
But, but how many opportunities are there to fight tough battles?
When there is a tough battle, the first thing the superiors consider is the main regiment, and they will never think of the independent regiment that has just suffered a great loss.
He was really too anxious this time and didn't think things through.
After figuring it out, Kong Jie could only nod helplessly.
As soon as Li Yunlong finished speaking, everyone knew that the main attack force and the reinforcement force had been decided.
It was obvious that Li Yunlong would not allow anyone to oppose his battle plan.
"Reorganize your troops and set out on time at noon. All troops must reach the edge of Qinghe County by the day after tomorrow at the latest!"
"Yes!"
As Li Yunlong issued the order to send troops, Qin Yangming, Ding Wei and Kong Jie quickly left and began to reorganize the troops.
Qin Yangming quickly returned to the vanguard camp and found Zhangye.
"How is it? Is there any problem with the mule and horse team? Have all the guns been dismantled?"
Because the roads along the way were mountainous, the cannon could not be pulled directly over, so it had to be disassembled into parts and carried by mules and horses, and then assembled after arriving at the destination.
Zhangye listened to Qin Yangming's question and nodded.
"I have followed your order and started feeding all the mules and horses with concentrated feed and eggs since Sun Desheng came back. The mule and horse team can guarantee the transportation problem.
All the mountain cannons had been disassembled, and the parts were carried by mules and horses.
But, Captain, if we let the mules and horses carry the artillery without taking a break, they might all be disabled."
Zhangye said this to the end, with a hint of reluctance in his tone.
Those mules and horses are the last assets of the Vanguard Camp. If enough mules and horses cannot be captured in this operation, then the heavy equipment of the Vanguard Camp can only be carried by manpower.
It is not easy to move those mountain cannons weighing half a ton by manpower.
"Captain, these are the assets we have accumulated with great difficulty. Do we really have to take them all out this time?"
Zhangye felt very painful when he thought about Qin Yangming asking him to take out all his family assets.
Although the Vanguard Battalion had just been rebuilt, its combat effectiveness was now about half of what it had been before.
The mountain artillery company once again had six Type 94 mountain cannons with a longer range, and two more rocket launchers with twelve barrels.
However, there are only three infantry companies with complete structures at present, while the others are just a framework and the recruits have not yet completed training.
Qin Yangming saw the reluctance in Zhangye's eyes and tried to persuade him, "Old Zhang, there is an old saying that goes, 'You can't catch a wolf without sacrificing a child.'"
"If we run out of equipment like these, can't we just go ask the Japanese for more?"
"Look, when we first arrived at the Independent Regiment, how much equipment did the Vanguard Battalion have in total?
Look at it now, in just one month, our artillery battery has been rebuilt."
