After giving Yi Jianping a positive answer, Yang Jicai hesitated slightly, but then said resolutely: "If the Seventh Division continues to invest troops, I can hold out for at least twelve hours under the condition that the increased strength is only a reinforced brigade." ”

"If the Seventh Division does not leave a way back and puts all its forces on this side in a desperate gamble, I think there should be no problem for our unit to hold on for about seven hours, and I hope that the Seventh Division can put all the living forces on our side in a desperate gamble, so that it will be more conducive to wielding the advantage of our army's ground and air firepower and giving it the greatest possible damage."

"But I hope that the column will at least replenish me with at least 560 and 82 mortar shells, 500 anti-infantry directional mines, and 3,000 ordinary anti-infantry mines, and if I can, I will be supplemented with four twin 14-mm anti-aircraft machine guns, and at least two more 45-mm anti-aircraft guns under my direct command."

"Political commissar, my biggest difficulty now is the lack of light direct-aim artillery, it is not impossible to use mountain artillery to shoot flat, but mountain artillery is still a little too cumbersome, if you can transfer me two 45 mm battle defense guns, I think it will be more certain to deal with the heavy machine guns of the Japanese army."

Yang Jicai knew that it was difficult for the column to replenish its own troops now, so he did not open his mouth to reinforce the troops, he only proposed some supplementary battle-damaged weapons and equipment, as well as the need to increase direct-aim artillery.

However, in Yi Jianping's view, this requirement is not high at all, these supplementary ammunition and materials, as well as four twin fourteen-mm anti-aircraft machine guns, he can make a decision now, and coordinating a 45-mm anti-aircraft artillery company to give him direct command is not non-negotiable.

Yi Jianping thought about it, did not use the telegram, but directly picked up the phone in Yang Jicai's headquarters, and asked the column headquarters to be connected, and asked Sun Wenjiu, chief of staff of the column, to transfer the weapons and equipment needed by Yang Jicai to the front line of Balaqirude within three hours and hand them over to Yang Jicai's command.

Thirty Type 96 light machine guns and 12 heavy machine guns were immediately transferred from the Japanese light and heavy machine guns that had been temporarily seized by the column and had not had time to be transferred to the advance army, and 20 bazookas and nine recoilless guns were transferred from the equipment in the column's own reserves.

In addition to the equipment, Yi Jianping also allocated 200,000 Japanese-style bullets and 5,000 grenades to Yang Jicai, as for the 79 bullets used in small arms, as well as the 8 mm and 75 bullets used in the French machine gun, Yang Jicai still has some reserves here, although it is only a few hundred thousand, but it is enough and there is no need to allocate it.

Although the two regiments in the Alukorqin Banner originally used both French-made light and heavy machine guns, the current column could not find a single French-made machine gun, so it could only use the Japanese-made light and heavy machine guns captured during the previous battle with the 23rd Division.

Although it may have a certain impact because of the unskilled use, it is much stronger than nothing, and the troops of the two regiments in the Alukorqin Banner, although the recruits have not been exposed to too many Japanese machine guns, but as the backbone of the veterans, they all started with Japanese machine guns, and they should not bring too much trouble when using them.

It's just that although Yi Jianping has met most of Yang Jicai's requirements for weapons and equipment, but Yang Jicai's infantry directional mines and anti-infantry mines are not so many in the column now, if they are transferred according to his requirements, then the mines currently in the inventory of the entire Linxi battlefield army are added together, and there is no such number, so they can only coordinate the headquarters and replenish them in the follow-up supply.

However, considering that the losses of the Second Regiment in the night attack were not light, and the strategic position of the Alukorqin Banner once the counterattack began, Yi Jianping hesitated for a while, but still discussed with Wang Guangyu, and transferred five companies from a supplementary regiment of twelve companies that had just arrived at the Linxi battlefield to Yang Jicai.

These five companies are equipped with the same old-fashioned manual rifle machine guns as the two regiments on the battlefield of Alukorqin Banner, and they can avoid the vigilance of the Japanese army, but among these five companies, except for the squad platoon commander and a veteran of each squad as the backbone, all of them are recruits who have completed full training, and the proportion of veterans in the troops is much lower than the two regiments under Yang Jicai's current command.

Although these five companies are basically recruits who are on the battlefield for the first time, this is also the maximum reinforcement that Wang Guangyu and Yi Jianping, the two highest military and political commanders on the Linxi battlefield, can draw to Yang Jicai in a short period of time.

Moreover, this supplementary regiment is currently the only supplementary regiment in the entire Linxi battlefield, and the five companies transferred to Yang Jicai are already nearly half of the troops, no matter how much, the column really can't get it at the moment, it can be said that after adding the supplementary soldiers of these five companies, now Yi Jianping can give everything he can give.

After giving Sun Wenjiu an explanation, replenishing Yang Jicai's equipment and materials in the shortest possible time, as well as replenishing the troops, Yi Jianping thought about it and wanted to get through the aviation headquarters currently stationed at Linxi Airport in Linxi to coordinate preparations for airdropping a batch of ammunition and equipment to the Second Regiment once it was needed.

After putting down the phone in his hand, Yi Jianping was silent for a while, and said to Yang Jicai: "You are ready, wait for the order of the column, if the order is issued, we need you to respond immediately, I know that you are under pressure, but now we have no choice." ”

"In addition to the sufficient supplementary troops, what I should give you has met your needs as much as possible, and now I can only give you one sentence, that is, before I receive the order of the column, you are leaving me with one soldier and one pawn, whether it is Balaqirude or Bayanoer line, you must hold your position and must not retreat a step."

Regarding Yi Jianping's final request, Yang Jicai replied directly without thinking of it: "Please tell the commander the political commissar and the commanders of the headquarters, as long as the column gives an order, I and all the commanders and fighters of our department must follow the requirements of the superiors, even if there is a single soldier left, I will definitely not take half a step back." ”

"Political commissar, I know that no matter how the superiors adjust the deployment, the Alu Korqin Banner battlefield is definitely not a dispensable part of the Linxi battlefield, although the importance of the frontal battlefield with Linxi cannot be compared at least at the moment, but he and the Linxi battlefield are complementary to each other."

"Our side is broken through, which means that we will lose the whole battle, although I Yang Jicai does not have much ability, but I still have the determination to fight to the death, please rest assured, as long as I am alive, the seventh division will never step on the line of Balaqirude half a step."

Although Yang Jicai agreed to be categorical, Yi Jianping looked at him and was still a little worried, compared to the Balaqirude line, he was more worried about the Bayan Nuoer line, the five incomplete companies, even if there was a large number of artillery to cooperate with the operation, if the Seventh Division really retreated on the whole line, with the strength of these five companies, it is really unknown whether they can withstand the full attack of the Seventh Division.

It is true that aviation and heavy artillery can constantly weaken the attack strength of the Seventh Division, and can also provide sufficient fire cover for the defending troops, and even under the previous sea of fire tactics, the Seventh Division has been greatly damaged, but if it is said that it has lost its vitality, I am afraid it is still far away.

And once it enters the close combat, all the fire support is ineffective, and the defenders of the five companies can not stand up in the face of the enemy army who has an absolute advantage in strength, and compared with the Balakirude line, the grassland terrain is almost a horse and a flat river, Yi Jianping is very worried in his heart.

Fortunately, the distance between the first line of Balaqirude and Bayanoer is only more than 20 kilometers in a straight line, and that side can actually be used as a tactical support point for Balaqirude's first line, but the troops in Yang Jicai's hands are limited, and he has to stick to such a long defensive line, and he can't even do the depth of defense, and he has never been able to control it.

After the Second Regiment seized the Bayan Nuoer line, although it was an isolated point from a tactical point of view, in fact, it could be connected to the Balakirude line to form a battle line, and in this case, with Yang Jicai's current ability and judgment, there was still no big problem in controlling the shape of the entire battlefield.

The most important thing is that as long as Su Yingqi can take the second regiment to the front line of Bayan Nuoer, then Yang Jicai's side can appropriately supplement a certain amount of troops for them, although the additional troops will not be too much, but it is enough to complete the five companies in Su Yingqi's hands.

Yi Jianping looked at the young face of Yang Jicai, who was standing in front of him with a lot of self-confidence, didn't say anything, nodded slightly, Yi Jianping remembered that when he came, he heard Wang Guangyu say that as long as there is no problem on the front line of Balaqirude now, even if Bayan Nuoer can't hold it, although it will cause great passivity, it will not completely affect the overall situation.

Of course, the Seventh Division, which is still hovering outside the cage set up for them, may slip away before it can take action on this side if it has been unable to attack the Balachrude line for a long time, and this is the biggest variable, as long as the Balachrude line can hold the Seventh Division for one or two days, then when necessary, strategic adjustments can be made.

In fact, both Wang Guangyu and Yi Jianping believe that no matter what the determination of the headquarters is, if the headquarters does not change its original intention of attacking the Seventh Division first, the current front line of Balaqirude can be said to be very important, otherwise it is impossible for Yi Jianping to come here in person at this time.

In order not to interfere with Wang Guangyu's command, let him devote all his thoughts to the battle, Yi Jianping took the initiative to take over most of the work.

The replenishment of casualties, the coordination with the headquarters for the deployment of supplies, the transfer and mobilization of the people around the battlefield, the elimination of the remnants of the Japanese puppet forces in the rear, the communication and liaison with the advancing army, and the daily work can be described as cumbersome and complicated.

In Yi Jianping's opinion, no matter how the shape changes, as long as this side is not broken through by the Seventh Division, the column can adjust its deployment at any time according to the requirements of the headquarters, but thinking of this, Yi Jianping was a little hesitant in his heart, can this young man take on the burden of the Balaqirude frontline, which has now reached a critical juncture in the entire campaign process, under the current situation of limited troops.

But looking at the young man in front of him, there was no fanaticism or nervousness in his eyes when ordinary people take on big responsibilities, but they were full of calmness, some wisdom and a hint of occasional flashes of spirituality, and fearlessness, Yang Jicai's eyes made Yi Jianping feel inexplicable in his heart while putting his mind at ease.
