Chapter 262 Northbound 24
In fact, before the meeting began, Li Qinglin had already expected Chen Zhendong to announce the result.
The first brigade is Chen Zhendong's direct troops and Chen Zhendong's starting team, so naturally he has to act with the detachment headquarters; the second brigade itself is weak, so Chen Zhendong cannot let them take the front line; then there is no choice but to have the rest, so naturally there is only his own front line troops of the third brigade.
After hearing Chen Zhendong's words, Li Qinglin immediately responded: "Our third brigade absolutely obeys Commander Chen's orders and is willing to be the vanguard of the detachment."
After hearing Li Qinglin personally agreed to be the striker of the detachment, the others were relieved in secret. Chen Zhendong smiled and said, "Deputy Commander Li is indeed brave enough to shoulder heavy responsibilities, respectable and respectable."
He then said: "War Zone 1 requires our Ninth Detachment to act as soon as possible, so we will discuss when to start the journey."
The speed of the army is important, of course, the faster the better. Li Qinglin believes that there must be an enemy's inner circle within our army, and the intelligence and rhetoric of the Ninth Detachment entering northern Henan will be known to the Japanese. Li Qinglin believes that it is better to go first rather than being prophets from the enemy.
Li Qinglin then did not wait for others to speak, and then said, "I think the action will start from the early morning tomorrow, the more sudden the action will be, the more unexpected the enemy will be, and the safer we will be."
The other two captains were a little embarrassed: "We have to gather the troops and bring the baggage ammunition with us. We will act in the early morning tomorrow. Isn't it too hasty?"
Chen Zhendong thought for a while and said, "Deputy Commander Li is right. The faster we move, the safer we will be. If you can bring your jars and jars, you can bring them with you. If you can't bring them, you can throw them to the Eighth Detachment. Anyway, they are all family with us."
At this moment, the commander's staff suddenly pushed Mén in and he sent Chen Zhendong an urgent telegram.
Chen Zhendong opened the telegram and looked at it, then handed it to Li Qinglin and said, "Deputy Commander Li, it seems that your daimyo has already been registered in the theater command. Look, we are still in a meeting, and this urgent telegram has been sent."
Li Qinglin took it and saw that it was the First War Zone Command ordered Major Li Li to immediately take people to Wanlin County. And behind the telegram, the War Zone also added the three words "urgent" to the war zone.
After reading the telegram, Li Qinglin returned the telegram to Chen Zhendong and said with a smile: "It seems that the war zone is really anxious now. Since the war zone has an order, I will hurry back and prepare immediately. I will try my best to leave after lunch. Our third brigade will set off on time at 4:00 tomorrow morning."
Chen Zhendong smiled and patted Li Qinglin on the shoulder, saying, "Deputy Commander Li is indeed decisive."
Then he turned to the others and said, "This meeting is over here. Remember, at 4 a.m. tomorrow, our Ninth Detachment will set off on time. The troops' marching route will be delivered to each department by the staff in the afternoon. Each department must seize the time to organize its own troops and must never delay the detachment's actions."
After everyone stood up and saluted Chen Zhendong, they hurried back to their troops to arrange the emergency departure.
Back at the brigade headquarters of the third brigade, Li Qinglin immediately convened a squadron leader meeting. During the meeting, Li Qinglin conveyed the order he had just received to Xiao Liuzi and the others, and also conveyed the order from the theater command to rush to northern Henan in advance to everyone.
After conveying the order, Li Qinglin made the following arrangements: First, he must set out after lunch, and this trip only leads two squads of the guard squad and cavalry to northern Henan in advance; Second, Xiaoliuzi is temporarily appointed by Xiaoliuzi, but the major actions of the third squad must be jointly agreed by Xiaoliuzi, Zhang Ergou and Zhao Shoushan; Third, the troops must operate safely, and the ultimate goal is to reach northern Henan; Fourth, if the enemy is encountered on the way, the troops must act resolutely and try not to get entangled with the enemy along the way; Fifth, bring the most important materials with other excess materials to the eighth detachment, and the troops must not be affected by the excessive baggage.
After recording Li Qinglin's order, Xiao Liuzi asked: "What if the other two brigades can't keep up?"
Li Qinglin smiled and said, "If you want to trust friendly forces, they will be able to keep up."
Zhang Ergou said on the side: "It would be strange if they can keep up, those people are all master soldiers."
The big man asked, "Then are we going to wait for them slowly?"
Li Qinglin smiled and said, "If it is true that our brigade will act according to the opportunity, after all, it is the most important thing to complete the orders of the First War Zone."
The big man was a little confused and then asked, "Boss, how can you act according to the opportunity?"
Zhang Ergou patted his head and laughed: "If you act according to the opportunity, you will act according to the opportunity. If you talk about it, it's so stupid."
Li Qinglin had already known the combat effectiveness of the other two brigades in the last battle. Li Qinglin was really afraid that these two brigades would drag down their third brigades, but they could not say this clearly, so they had to act according to the opportunity. Zhang Ergou, a veteran, has been in the army for a long time and has seen a lot of knowledge in the army, so he naturally understood Li Qinglin's words.
The brief meeting ended soon, and everyone went back to the army to arrange the departure. Xiao Liuzi was unsure of the first time commanding so many people, and he ran to Li Qinglin from time to time for instructions.
Li Qinglin cursed: "You don't know what to do if you give you a chance. If you really bring so many people in the future, you will ask for instructions on everything? Didn't I give orders? You command and the three of you agree on major matters together. I won't leave in the morning, so you can make arrangements first. I will point out what is wrong."
Xiao Liuzi left, and Li Qinglin also began to sort out the items he needed to carry and prepared to leave immediately after lunch. The new area that was about to arrive did not have any foundation. In order to deal with this situation, Li Qinglin also asked Xiao Liuzi to prepare some money and supplies for Ding Goudan to take with him.
After lunch, Li Qinglin was still a little worried, so he went down to the squadrons to take a walk around.
All troops were preparing in an orderly manner. All personnel from the third brigade were collected back to the battalion, and all personnel were nervously sorting out the equipment; the mules and horses transported were collected back, and some soldiers were checking and repairing the hooves and equipment of mules and horses. The pack racks, guns and ammunitions that must be brought and supplies were tied intact. When the troops were operating, they only needed to put on the backs of mules and horses; the excess supplies were also sorted aside, and the personnel of the Eighth Detachment were also receiving supplies in a nervous and orderly manner.
Seeing that everything was going on in an orderly manner and the handling of matters with the Eighth Detachment was arranged in an orderly manner, Li Qinglin smiled and said to Xiaoliuzi: "Don't you do all this well? It seems that you are more than enough to be a captain."
Xiao Liuzi seemed a little embarrassed. He reached out and grabbed his head, blushed and said, "Brother, these are all learned from you."
