Chapter 269: The Battle of Qingyuan! (V)

On the evening of the 28th, after receiving a positive approval from Qin Shiyu and a telegram from Lu Shan, Lei Dong agreed to take office as the commander-in-chief of Qingyuan's defense battle.

However, Lei Dong also proposed that he, the commander-in-chief, would not stay in Qingyuan command. He had a portable radio and walkie-in-chief, which could command troops to fight anywhere, without being limited to that combat command room!

Li Chunrun and the other two agreed to this point after discussing it. Indeed, they have advanced liaison facilities and the radio stations are equipped with companies. It is already very difficult for them to be assigned to the regiment level. This is purchased from the black market by donations from the people from all over the world, and sometimes there are always problems!

However, this time Lei Dong also brought them four radio stations, which were seized from the Japanese army, which allowed them to solve the problem of radio shortage!

It is impossible for them to use walkie-talkies. There are only so many in total. They are not enough for themselves, and they involve confidentiality. Before they become a family, Lei Dong will not show off all the treasures!

Lei Dong agreed, and Lin Chunrun and others had to ask for instructions on the Self-Defense Army Headquarters.

Tang Juwu's order came soon, and he agreed to establish the First Front Army of the Self-Defense Army, with Li Chunrun as the commander-in-chief, and Bao Jinghua and Liang Shifu as the deputy commander-in-chief and chief of staff respectively!

Bao Jinghua, who was born in Huangpu, served as the chief of staff because of his strong military qualities, while Liang Shifu served as the deputy commander-in-chief!

Then the two companies established a joint command center, with Lei Dong as the commander-in-chief, Li Chunrun and Liang Shifu as the deputy commander-in-chief, and Bao Jinghua as the chief of staff!

The Qingyuan Defense Command was officially established, and a declaration department was also established, with the minister being Tang Jingtian, secretary of the special party branch of **Fushun.

There was no establishment conference, just a brief announcement, and the command center was put into intense operation!

"Brother Binpu, it's not OK to defend Qing Dynasty to the death. This will give the Japanese army a chance to wipe out us!" After more than half a year of training, Lei Dong is no longer the big-headed soldier he used to be. His combat command ability is no longer inferior to those from professionals. The only thing he lacks is the experience of commanding large corps to fight. He is deeply rooted in the guerrilla warfare. Given the situation of the Self-Defense Army, he has no ability to fight against the Japanese city. The Eastern Zong fights like that, let alone the peasants who have only put down their hoes for a few days. Moreover, since more than one-third of the Self-Defense Army are students and intellectuals, they are too young and are all future pillars, Lei Dong is reluctant to let these people die under the Japanese guns!

"Commander Lei, just give orders and don't take care of us!" Li Chunrun said. Although he was not familiar with Lei Dong, the unit he brought and the reputation of the commander of the "Ghost Force" became the reason why he trusted Lei Dong.

"My proposal is to leave only one regiment of troops in Qingyuan, and the other troops were scattered for me, and to use harassment methods to make the Japanese march uneasy and force them to divide their troops to chase us, so that our chance will come!" Lei Dong said, his tactics were very simple, and he was to harass the Japanese and force them to divide their troops to pursue them, and then concentrate their superior forces to defeat them one by one to help the Japanese lose weight!

"What if the Japanese don't divide their troops?" Liang Shifu asked.

"If the Japanese don't divide their troops, then we will learn from ants and bite them. Anyway, we are familiar with the terrain. As long as we find a way out in advance, we will not be afraid of the Japanese chasing them. In fact, we are still worried that they will not chase them!" Lu Shan said!

"What Commander Lei said makes sense. It is useless for us to defend the county town to the death. After jumping out, we are more flexible and mobile. This is our own territory. Can the Japanese be more familiar with us?" Li Chunrun said.

"I want the most elite regiment to defend the city, because when necessary, I need him to be able to hold the attack of the Japanese and prevent the county from falling into the enemy's hands!" Lei Dong said, "In addition, after three days of repairing Sanyuan Fort, our Dong Zong joined forces with General Sun Xiuyan's 16th Army. Our goal is to encircle and annihilate the enemy's Gaobo Brigade under Qingyuan City!"

"Defend the city, let's stay Sun Mingchen's sixth regiment. His troops have had combat experience and fought with the Japanese army." Li Chunrun said.

"Okay, then let Captain Sun's sixth regiment stay!" Lei Dong made the final decision.

"In addition, I want to send three instructors to each League. They are responsible for teaching your people how to lure the enemy, harass and ambush tactics!"

"This is great. Although many of our people have served as soldiers, not many have actually fought wars, and they all learned regular combat. We are not very good at guerrilla warfare. Basically, we are wiping stones across the river. Now someone is teaching us, that's really great!" Li Chunrun and the other three showed excited expressions.

"Without any time, we will formulate a combat plan and assign combat tasks immediately..." Lei Dong said.

"The Japanese are very arrogant. They burned, killed, looted, and got a lot of wealth. These things slowed down their whereabouts. This is an opportunity for us!" Lei Dong said, "Although the team they went out to burn, kill, looted, will not be too far from the large army every time they went out, as long as we judge their whereabouts in advance, we can wait for them where they went, and then eat them in one bite. If they can't eat them in one bite, they can use this as bait to lure the Japanese to pursue them. We can mobilize nearby troops to come and wait until they leave the large army for a certain distance, and then eat the troops they pursued!"

Lei Dong explained: "We Dong Zong called this a slimming tactic!"

"The weight loss tactics are very appropriate. Every time I eat one hundred people, I eat him a few times, and hundreds of people will be there!" Li Chunrun exclaimed.

"This is not so easy for Japanese people to eat!"

"Actually, the Japanese are just like us, just training for more time than us. We may not be our opponents one-on-one, but what about three-on-one, five-on-one?" Lei Dong said, "What about ten-on-one?"

"The seized weapons can also be equipped to supplement us. As one goes up and down, the stronger our strength is, the weaker the strength of the Japanese. When they come to Qingyuan City, they will probably turn from a cow into a pig!" Bao Jinghua said with his eyes shining.

"Okay, this weight loss tactic is good. In the future, we will use this tactic when we meet Japanese devils. Our northeast is vast and sparsely populated. As long as we get into the mountains, it will be difficult for Japanese devils to find us!" Li Chunrun smiled and laughed.

"Is this weight loss tactic invented?" Bao Jinghua asked curiously.

"It was the commander of our East Column, No. 1 invented!" Lei Dong said proudly.

"No. 1, does your commander of the East Zong have no name?" Liang Shifu asked strangely.

"Of course there are names, but for the sake of confidentiality, they are called code names to the outside world!" Lei Dong explained.

"I heard that your number one is the King of Southern Heaven, who is as famous as Yu Lao Beifeng?"

"Yes, No. 1 is the King of the South!" Lei Dong admitted.

"No wonder, Commander-in-Chief Tang also said on the front line that he wanted to recruit the King of the South and appointed the commander of the All-Road. Who would have thought that you would secretly pull out such a powerful team? We can't compare with you!" Li Chunrun said in admiration.

"If you know how much effort No. 1 has spent on this team and how long it takes, you will be even more amazed!" Lei Dong said in his heart.

"Also, the weight loss tactics are the highest secret, and only officers at least at battalion level can master them, in case the Japanese army find out, they will develop targeted strategies after they know it!" Lei Dong reminded.

"We all understand this!" The three of them said in a solemn manner.

"Okay, since everyone understands it, I won't say much. What I want to talk about next is the issue of collaborative operations and how to contact each department..."

Basically, Lei Dong said it all one night, and Li Chunrun and the other three were listening. After listening to Lei Dong's argument, the three of them felt very rewarding and felt that it was really a wise decision to ask Lei Dong to be the commander-in-chief.

At the same time, they were even more curious about the King of the South behind Lei Dong, namely No. 1 of the East Zong. Such a person could actually train a big soldier who had only been to a private school for a few days and became a military command talent in just a few months!

Although Lei Dong's own wisdom and dedication were included, if he had not been guided by the Southern Heavenly King who knew so much knowledge and foresight, Lei Dong would never have achieved such success!

Lei Dong is also the chief of staff of the Dongzong. He has also seen the deputy commander Qin Shiyu. Although he is young, he is calm and decisive, commands and fights fiercely, and has a bold and tenacious style. It seems that although the Dongzong is not famous, he has a lot of internal talents!

This was also the idea of ​​Li Chunrun asking for the incorporation of the Eastern Zong, and tried his best to convince Tang Juwu and others to agree to incorporate the Self-Defense Army into the Eastern Zong.

Tang Juwu had no idea at all, and in a hurry, he could not summon the leaders of the 18th Route Army to discuss this matter. Later, the Shancheng victory came, and he changed his attention. He personally agreed to incorporate into the East Column and generate electricity for the commanders of the various lines of army to seek their opinions!

After the unification of the opinions, except for a few people who did not agree to the merger of the Eastern Column, everyone else was willing to merge into the Eastern Column!

This shows that the East Zong’s powerful strength and combat effectiveness are also very strict internal organizational structure, which is far from comparable to the Self-Defense Forces. In particular, the East Zong can compete with the Japanese regular army, and they still understand the principle that it is easy to enjoy the shade under this big tree.

After the unification opinion, Tang Juwu also asked Huang Yuzhou and others from the Northeast People's Anti-Japanese and National Rescue Association. After they gained their recognition, they decided to incorporate the Self-Defense Army into the Eastern Column!

On the 29th, the vanguard of Gaobo Brigade had arrived in front of Nankou and the vanguard entered Qingyuan County.

The Gaobo Brigade is a cavalry brigade. According to the Japanese cavalry brigade, it has a total of 5,600 soldiers, equipped with 5,668 military horses, 3,705 infantry and rifles, 12 heavy machine guns, 36 field cannons and other weapons and equipment.

There are also some Japanese garrison troops, with a total of about 6,000 people.

On the side of the defender, except for Xinbin's defender, Li Chunrun's eight regiments were under three brigades, including three brigades and one regiment guarding Xinbin, who was fighting fiercely with the puppet army Liao Bichen and Xu Xinghai. The remaining two brigades and five regiments were in Qingyuan, with a total force of about 7,000. Except for Sun Mingchen's first brigade, the rest were not even complete in all weapons, and could only follow behind and wave flags and shout. The combat power was really hard to estimate!
