Chapter 251 Exercise Plan
After Tang Weiguo led everyone into the conference room and exchanged a few pleasantries, the conversation got down to business. The reason Tang Weiguo had invited Li Yunfei was to prepare for a joint combat exercise.
"Brigade Commander Tang, regarding the military exercise you proposed last time, our superiors agreed. However, they felt the situation was unstable at the time and suggested we reduce the scale of the exercise, reserving a certain number of troops to monitor the Japanese movements and ensure the safety of the base area," Political Commissar Zhao said bluntly.
"Oh, the exercise has been scaled back. I wonder how many people your Independent Regiment is planning to participate?" Tang Weiguo asked with some concern.
Tang Weiguo thought to himself, if there are too few participants, the effectiveness of this exercise will be greatly reduced.
Tang Weiguo's original plan for this exercise was for both sides to deploy three battalions each to conduct a live-fire exercise in the Qingshan County area to test the training results of the new recruits.
“We plan to send two recruit battalions to participate in this recruit exercise,” Li Yunfei said without hesitation.
"Two battalions? No problem at all. I thought you were only sending one battalion to participate in the exercise." Hearing Li Yunfei say this, Tang Weiguo, who had been worried, was relieved and nodded at Li Yunfei with satisfaction.
"Brigade Commander Tang, our Independent Regiment has benefited from your support this time, and it has grown stronger. Let me tell you, our Independent Regiment is now one of the best in our brigade."
“Now, the brigade commander has to be very polite to me every time he sees me.” Thinking about the brigade commander’s 180-degree change in attitude towards him recently, Li Yunfei felt as sweet as if he had honey on his lips.
"So, since Brother Tang has spoken, Old Li has to step up," Li Yunfei said with a smile.
"Commander Li, you're truly impressive." Tang Weiguo gave Li Yunfei a thumbs up.
"Brother Tang, how do you plan to organize this exercise? I'll do whatever you say, right, Political Commissar Zhao?" Li Yunfei pulled Political Commissar Zhao aside.
"Yes, Brigade Commander Tang, our regimental commander and I would like to express our stance to you: our participating teams will definitely obey your command." Political Commissar Zhao said earnestly.
"Commander Li, Political Commissar Zhao, with your assurances, we are confident that this exercise will be a complete success," Tang Weiguo said confidently.
"Brigade Commander Tang, what are the specific arrangements for this trip?" Political Commissar Zhao asked, getting to the crucial point.
"We've already drafted a plan for this exercise. Take a look at it first, and if there's anything inappropriate, please point it out so we can make corrections." With that, Tang Weiguo gestured for Zhang Haoshan to distribute the exercise manual to the people from the Independent Regiment.
"Following Brother Tang is really convenient. Look, even the exercise plan is ready," Li Yunfei said with a grin, holding the booklet.
"Old Zhao, can you explain this to me? These characters are giving me a headache. I'll look at them when we get back." Li Yunfei frowned as soon as he saw the densely packed characters in the booklet.
Since Zhao Xiaogang arrived at the Independent Regiment, he has personally supervised Li Yunfei's studies.
During this period, under Zhao Xiaogang's supervision, Li Yunfei's literacy level improved by leaps and bounds, but there was still one problem that Zhao Xiaogang hadn't corrected for him.
Whenever he was around, he never read the official documents himself; he would always make me repeat them to him. His excuses were always plausible: he said the political commissar also needed to read the documents.
Political Commissar Zhao stared at Li Yunfei for a while, but Li Yunfei remained unfazed, displaying his thick skin. Political Commissar Zhao could only shake his head helplessly and introduce him.
"First, we need to establish an exercise command center, with Brigade Commander Tang as the group leader, you, Regiment Commander, as the deputy group leader, staff officers as group members, and battalion-level officers from each unit as on-site observers to supervise the execution of the exercise."
"The exercise area is located in a mountainous area, codenamed 501, on the southwest side of Xiaoqingshan Mountain, covering an area of about 20 li in length and width."
"Our Independent Regiment is on the defensive, while the Independent Brigade is on the offensive."
"The exercise will last for three days. If we can defend Hill 501 within these three days, we will win."
“We need to take a look at the rest of the exercise details slowly,” Political Commissar Zhao said to Li Yunfei.
"No need to look, Brother Tang won't let our Independent Brigade suffer losses," Li Yunfei waved his hand and said to Political Commissar Zhao.
"Brother Tang, what about the ammunition for this exercise?" Li Yunfei suddenly turned to Tang Weiguo and asked, his eyes revealing a sly look.
"Haha, our independent brigade has all the supplies. We've captured a large number of blank training rounds, enough for everyone."
"Brother Tang is so generous! I knew I wouldn't suffer if I followed you guys!"
Hearing Li Yunfei say that, everyone couldn't help but laugh.
