Bright Sword: I took Li Yunlong to work in military industry

Chapter 699: Commander, urgent call from headquarters!

The news of the US attack on Pearl Harbor spread wildly throughout the world.

After the Southwest received this news, they were ecstatic. They had not expected that the outcome they had long hoped for, the Americans, would actually be achieved in this way.

In the southwest direction, one could not help but sigh that these devils were really crazy. They even dared to provoke Americans. Isn't this like touching a tiger's butt?

The national army, which had been expecting mediation from the international community, finally got what happened to it at the hands of the Americans.

However, these are extremely ironic in our view. It is ridiculous that the safety of our own territory still needs mediation from other countries.

In response to this situation, the southwest officially declared war on the Japanese.

The declaration of war mentioned that the more than four years of resistance against the Japs was for the welfare of the people and world peace. After repeated statements, they brazenly launched attacks on Britain and the United States, but the Japs still could not repent. When they could no longer tolerate it, the southwest direction decided to declare war on the Japs.

This declaration of war spread all over the country in a very short time. Some people were encouraged by it, while others laughed at it.

When this declaration of war arrived at Yu Ye's desk, Yu Ye just took a look at it and threw it into the waste paper bin with disdain. It was so annoying to look at it.

Yu Ye only had one sentence to respond to this: "What the hell are you talking about four years of struggle, what the hell are you talking about repeatedly making statements to dissuade others, can crying day and night kill Dong Zhuo? Disgusting."

While some biased propaganda was being carried out in the southwest, the actions we took were more pragmatic.

The commander led the top leaders of the Eighth Route Army in Shanxi to hold an in-depth and very urgent meeting. From the northwest to the entire Shanxi area, everyone realized a problem, that is, when the United States participated in this war, it would be both an opportunity and a challenge.

"I have almost explained the current situation to you all. Now Jin is completely under our control. Previously, other armed forces did not dare to make any moves in the name of justice, but now that the external pressure has suddenly eased, they may have some other ideas.

We must be prepared.

In addition, during this strategic counterattack, we must fight!

Next, the Northwest Headquarters’ opinion was to leave for the Northeast while ensuring the absolute safety of Jin.

I want to select Li Yunlong's independent corps as the vanguard, cross Hebei, cooperate with the comrades in Hebei to first capture Tianjin and Beijing, and then cross Shanhaiguan.

The comrades of the Anti-Japanese United Army have been waiting for too long in the forest and snowy plains. "

The commander took the instructions given by the Northwest Headquarters and presented his own strategic plan to the senior officers present.

The division commander took the commander's advice from the Northwest Headquarters and read it carefully word by word. Then he continued the commander's words and said, "I agree with the commander's suggestion. Since the Japanese invaders occupied our Northeast 10 years ago and implemented slave education, they have intended to take the entire Northeast for themselves.

This is absolutely intolerable.

We must resolutely carry out the orders of the headquarters. This time, we will take the opportunity of the United States' participation in the war to take back our own land in one fell swoop!

First take Beijing, then send troops to the Northeast."

Since the top two leaders had already agreed, and with the decision from headquarters, everyone agreed and decided to send troops to work together with their comrades in Hebei to flatten Hebei, then take Beijing, and finally take back the Northeast.

"This time, Li Yunlong will be equipped with a full complement of four infantry battalions, one artillery battalion, and one cavalry battalion, totaling more than 10,000 people.

We'll take all the heavy firepower we have.

Let the Japanese Type A division stationed in our Northeast also have a taste of our new firepower."

The commander waved his hand and made his own arrangements.

"Also, tell all our comrades who are participating in this battle that occupying land is not our primary goal. Instead, our primary goal is to kill the enemy's manpower and deplete their war capabilities.

For a large city like Beijing, we can choose to siege it to avoid the loss of cultural relics and personnel. "

As the military orders were issued one after another, all the officers in the entire headquarters began to get busy, just like a precision machine with full horsepower starting to run madly. This machine wanted to output death to the Japanese at the most violent power.

......

When the military order reached Li Yunlong, he was cleaning his gun. He had not fought for such a long time, and apart from the daily military training, he was bored. Apart from fiddling with the latest pistol made by the Liaoyuan Arsenal, there was nothing else that interested him.

"Captain, urgent call from headquarters!"

When Old Li heard the word "urgent telegram", he threw the half-disassembled pistol directly on the table. He even ignored the titles of corps commander and regiment commander that he had been struggling with and took the telegram directly from the signalman.

"Order, Li Yunlong's troops will be ready for level one combat. Once the follow-up garrison troops have completed their rotation, they will be ready to move to Taiyuan at any time to replenish all their equipment, ammunition, and cotton-padded clothes."

After reading this short telegram, Lao Li was so excited that he almost jumped up on the spot: "Damn it, there is finally a war to fight.

Go, pass on my order, have the Chief of Staff and First Battalion Commander Zhang Dabiao, Second Battalion Commander Shen Quan, Third Battalion Commander Wang Huaibao, Fourth Battalion Commander Lu Guoliang, Artillery Battalion Commander Yang Xing, Cavalry Battalion Commander Sun Desheng, and Liangshan Special Operations Battalion Captain Wei Dayong come to my place for a meeting!"

Li Yunlong didn't even care about the half-disassembled gun. He just slammed the table and decisively issued the combat order.

"Yes!"

Old Li rubbed his hands excitedly, took the telegram and read it carefully over and over again, and was overjoyed.

"Finally, our Lao Li is allowed to go to the war, hehe."

Under Li Yunlong's order, the senior leaders of the independent regiment quickly came to the regiment commander. Deputy Corps Commander Xing took the roster and statistical table and checked it carefully. It turned out that the whole independent corps had reached nearly 13,000 people after the rapid expansion in this period of time, which was more than the personnel of a division before.

"Deputy Captain Xing, what are you happy about?"

"Old Li, look at our rapid expansion in personnel during this period. Now it has reached the size of a division."

When Lao Li heard this, he was secretly happy, but he pretended to be calm and waved his hand: "What's the big deal? We are an independent corps now, how can it be the same?"

"Hahaha!"

When everyone heard this, they all laughed at the same time. The independent regiment's organization was upgraded this time, and as a result, the ranks of all the people present were raised by one level. Although it is still called a battalion, everyone is already a regimental-level cadre in terms of rank.

"Now that everyone is here, I will arrange the combat mission for everyone."

Old Li cleared his throat and said.

"How come everyone is here when my dignified independent regiment's logistics chief hasn't even arrived yet?"
