Chapter 305 Commander: Let’s go and see what these two little bastards are doing?
After the fighting in various places was paused for a while, the commander brought a group of senior officers to the headquarters to review the battle of Ping'an County.
"So many troops, including the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army, the Central Army, local armed forces and even some bandits, were involved, some besieging the point and some attacking the reinforcements.
It was so busy and enjoyable.
The fight is over, and I still don’t know what happened.
Even I, the commander, was kept in the dark."
“Yes, not only me, but even Commander Yan, the person in charge of the Second War Zone, called me to ask about it.
Why didn't you inform him beforehand about such a big battle?
There was a complaint in his tone."
The commander said with a laugh, holding the telegram in his hand.
The senior military officers around were also very happy. It can be said that this battle was a textbook-level beautiful victory.
After everyone laughed for a while, the commander stopped smiling and asked, "Let's get back to business. What do you think of the Ping'an County Battle?"
When everyone heard this, they were shocked! The commander actually elevated this battle to the level of a campaign.
In fact, think about it, such a war broke out suddenly at such an abrupt time, and within a short period of time, both the enemy and our side actually involved nearly 200,000 troops.
Not to mention northwest Shanxi, even the entire Shanxi area is almost in chaos.
This is enough to be called a qualified battle.
However, after hearing the commander's question, the senior officers around him looked at each other, and no one dared to simply make this conclusion.
Finally, it was the chief of staff who spoke up: "Judging from the battle record alone, it is absolutely a pioneering move that only one regiment of troops plus local armed forces dared to directly attack the county town where the Japanese fortifications were strong and heavily defended.
Our army did not have any particularly mature experience in urban siege before, and this attack on Ping'an County can be said to have left a good example.
Judging from the results alone, this is a classic case.”
The commander listened and frowned.
What the hell does it mean "only one regiment's strength plus local armed forces"?
The firepower density of the independent regiment is so damn high. Let alone the entire Eighth Route Army, even if you put the entire Chinese army and the Japanese army together, there are not many teams whose firepower intensity can exceed that of the independent regiment.
What the hell is this “solid fortifications”?
What the hell is “heavily guarded”?
With Yu Ye's six 6-caliber howitzers and dozens of artillery shells, is this even a problem?
Why does it sound more and more wrong the more I listen?
However, the expression on the commander's face only flashed by and did not last long.
Another senior officer added: "Commander, I went to investigate this regiment a month or two ago, and I found that their entire team has a special temperament."
"Ok?"
The commander suddenly became interested and asked immediately, "What kind of temperament? You might as well explain it more clearly."
"Commander, I think it would be better to describe it in eight words."
"Which eight characters?"
"Unruly and fiery, they are unruly. Or, there is another word that can describe the temperament of this group, which is simpler, that is, 'I am the best in the world.'"
Although he was describing something that seemed a bit outrageous, the senior military officer's face was very serious, without any sense of joking at all.
"Proud?"
The commander keenly grasped the key point and asked.
"Yes, Commander, you are right, it is pride! This regiment has a spirit of not admitting defeat, life and death are indifferent, and they will fight against it if they don't accept it.
No matter who the enemy is, we will fight them to the bitter end."
The commander immediately understood what he meant: "The recent successive victories have injected a strong spirit into the independent regiment.
This kind of feeling of looking down on the world is very rare in the Chinese military.
This kind of temperament can only be accumulated through victory and cannot be copied. "
When the commander said this, many people around him nodded frequently, thinking that the commander's judgment was very accurate.
Others also disagreed: "It is unorganized and undisciplined to say that Li Yunlong mobilized troops to fight without asking for instructions!
Moreover, this was not the first time that Li Yunlong had made such a mistake. He had disobeyed orders on the battlefield many times during the Lijiaopo breakout and the Xinzhuang breakout.
This kind of trend cannot be allowed to continue. From this point of view, it is not excessive to shoot him."
Indeed, this team is a team that emphasizes discipline very much. It can be said that discipline is the foundation of our team. If everyone disobeys orders on the battlefield like Li Yunlong did, then the team will fall apart.
“However, judging from the results, this campaign directly captured Ping’an County, driving a nail into the enemy’s transportation network.
After this battle, we can say that we have a complete base in northwest Shanxi and can do greater things.
Therefore, it is difficult to make a decision about the right and wrong for the time being."
"You guys, how come it seems like you are the ones speaking well of the Independent Regiment? You seem to have forgotten one thing, that is, the Independent Regiment is not just an independent regiment.
Behind Li Yunlong, there is another Yu Ye.
If Yu Ye had not provided this team with powerful firepower support, I don't believe that Li Yunlong would dare to launch a fierce attack on Ping'an County with only three or four thousand troops.
Moreover, I have a vague feeling that the attack on Ping'an County was most likely not done by Li Yunlong, but by Yu Ye!"
The commander's eyes suddenly became sharp.
He glanced around and saw the figure of the brigade commander.
When the brigade commander saw that the commander was staring at him, he immediately dodged backwards, slipping as fast as a loach.
"Why are you hiding? Where are you hiding? The Independent Regiment is all from your 386th Brigade! I want to ask you now, has the telephone line between you and the Independent Regiment been repaired?
Can we use the radio to contact the independent group now?"
The commander asked with a stern look on his face.
The brigade commander shook his head and dared not speak.
"Humph!"
The commander snorted.
"Commander Yan just sent a telegram praising us for launching a large-scale offensive in northwestern Shanxi, which has achieved great results.
I was kept in the dark at first, but now the truth is out.
Let me go and see what happened to these two bastards. Why did they cause such a big incident? "
There was no expression of joy or anger on the commander's face.
Someone boldly asked: "Commander, how should we define this battle?"
The commander said decisively: "This is a great victory for our Chinese army in launching a strategic counterattack in Jin and even the whole country!"
The brigade commander felt relieved at once. With the commander's words, at least he didn't have to worry about Li Yunlong being shot.
