The Boss of the Yan Family in Siheyuan

After hearing Li Yunlong's words, Zhao just stepped forward to shake hands with the group of soldiers and said with a smile: "Welcome everyone to join the Eighth Route Army. From now on, everyone will be one of our own. I am Zhao Gang, the political commissar of the New Regiment. I will have a lot of experience in the life of the New Regiment in the future."

If you need help, you can come to me."

"Thank you for looking for the political commissar, these political commissars Zhao." Everyone responded happily after hearing Zhao Gang's words, and they were relieved of what they had been worried about before. After all, as the national army, they had fought with the Eighth Route Army before. If the Eighth Route Army came to settle the scores,

, they would definitely suffer a lot on other people's territory. They were not afraid of anything else, but they were afraid that the Eighth Route Army would treat them differently, but after seeing Zhao Gang's attitude and tone just now, they were relieved.

Li Yunlong said a few words to Zhao Gang and asked him to arrange the National Army soldiers he would lead, and then returned to his room and began to sleep.

……………

When Li Yunlong woke up the next day, it was already noon. After dinner, someone called Zhao Gang over and wanted to talk to him about the next development of the new group.

After all, it had been more than half a month since the three battalions were released by him. He didn't know the specific extent of the development, but he only had a general idea.

Take Zhang Dabiao's first battalion as an example. There were 384 people when they left the station. This time they attacked the prisoner of war camp and brought back a total of 527 people. In more than half a month, they recruited more than 100 people.

The situation of the other two battalions should be similar.

Calculated based on 500 people in one battalion, three battalions are more than 1,500 people. Counting those who have recovered from the headquarters hospital, plus the national soldiers brought back from the prisoner of war camp this time, the new regiment now has almost two

An army of thousands.

Compared with the previous confrontation with Sakata United, their strength has not only recovered, but has also improved slightly. Not only do they have more personnel, but even their weapons and equipment have also been slightly improved.

In more than half a month, the three battalions of troops destroyed a total of 17 enemy strongholds and eliminated more than 180 Japanese and puppet troops.

Although the gains were great, there were also some casualties, but compared with the results, these casualties were worth it.

Because Li Yunlong knew that in a short time, the Japs would launch a counter-mopping campaign against the Eighth Route Army.

If you don't take advantage of this period of time to improve your strength, you will definitely suffer a big loss when the time comes.

"Captain Li, why did you call me here?" Zhao Gang heard that Li Yunlong was looking for him and hurried over.

"I would like to discuss the future development of Xinyi Tuan with you."

Zhao Gang was a little surprised when he heard Li Yunlong's words. You must know that since he came to Xinyi Tuan, Li Yunlong has the final say in all decisions. Not to mention discussing with him, he will not even inform him. What happened today? What is going on with him?

Discussing the development of the new group by himself. Zhao Gang stared straight at Li Yunlong and couldn't help but think to himself.

"The new regiment today is different from the past. Since the fight with the Sakata Regiment, I have sent three battalions of troops outside to develop independently. It has been more than half a month now.

Not to mention anything else, including the Chinese soldiers brought back from the prisoner-of-war camp this time, our new regiment already has more than 2,000 regular troops, which is half the size of the previous one.

Although the overall strength has improved, the combat effectiveness is definitely lower than before. Especially the newly joined soldiers and the prisoners of war brought back this time, they have not received our ideological education, and they are not even a

Qualified Eighth Route Army soldier.

This is what I think. I will arrange for the new recruits from the three battalions and the Chinese prisoners of war brought back this time to come to our regiment's station. They will receive training during the day and you will give them political lessons at night."

Zhao Gang was a little shocked when he heard Li Yunlong's words. After all, as a regular army with a designation, the Independent Regiment led by Kong Jie only had more than 1,200 people, while the New Regiment has now grown to more than 2,000 people, twice the size of the Independent Regiment.

about.

This was despite the fact that Li Yunlong's ability to lead troops was clearly evident, and he was not just bragging.

Zhao Gang certainly wanted to give political lessons to new recruits. After all, an army without ideas is not a good army.

"By the way, I analyzed the news recently sent back by our intelligence personnel, and I feel that the Japs are going to launch a large-scale raid on us, and we should prepare in advance." Li Yunlong remembered another thing. He had watched the TV series Li Yunlong.

We know that it won't be long before the Japs will launch a large-scale raid on the Eighth Route Army's base areas.

You must tell Zhao Gang about this and ask him to inform the brigade commander, otherwise even if the new regiment is ready, other troops will suffer losses.

"Is there such a thing?" Zhao Gang asked after hearing Li Yunlong's words. After all, this is a big matter. If they don't respond in time, their troops may suffer heavy losses. If this matter is really true, they must report it to the brigade commander immediately.

"It should be about the same. There are signs of Japs activities in many places around our station. In just over half a month, the three battalions we sent out destroyed seventeen Japs strongholds. According to the locations of these strongholds,

The little devil is definitely going to make some big move.

Regardless of whether it is true or false, there is nothing wrong with us being prepared in advance."

"Okay, I don't understand military matters anyway. Let's do what you say. If you need my cooperation, just say it directly." Zhao Gang knew how much he weighed, even though he had received a lot of culture.

His education level is not low, but if he is asked to command the army to fight, he is really not the material.

After talking about the Japanese's plan to raid the base area, Li Yunlong talked to Zhao Gang about the logistics issues of the new regiment. After all, there were so many more people than before. Although it was a good thing, feeding so many mouths was not a good thing.

Easy things.

Food alone is a big problem. Although Li Yunlong still has hundreds of tons of food in his space, he has no intention of taking it out. After all, teaching a man to fish is worse than teaching him to fish.

He plans to use these grains as seeds and let the people plant them all after the base area is stabilized next year.

You must know that these seeds have been cultivated by generations of later generations. They not only have high yields, but are also resistant to damage and drought.

Compared with the seeds of this era, the yield is at least one cup, and if taken care of well, it can even be twice as high.

In this way, their new regiment will not be short of food in the future, and they will not have to risk their lives to seize it from the Japanese.

After talking about the matter, Li Yunlong sent Zhao Gang out of the room, and then sent someone to call Zhang Dabiao over.

After all, there was not much time left before the Japanese raids. He wanted to use this time to update the regiment's equipment so that it could survive the Japanese raids and try not to let the soldiers die due to lack of weapons and ammunition.

"Commander, the commander of the first battalion, Zhang Dabiao, is reporting to you." After Zhang Dabiao came in, he gave Li Yunlong a military salute and then shouted.

"Okay, when did you become such a mother-in-law? Hurry up and sit down and talk." After hearing Zhang Dabiao's words, Li Yunlong kicked him angrily, then pointed to the stool opposite him and asked Zhang Dabiao to sit down.

After being kicked by Li Yunlong, Zhang Dabiao not only didn't get angry but sat down with a smile. "Captain, why did you come to see me? Is our regiment going to fight again?"

"You're really going to fucking say that, yes, I have this plan." As he said this, Li Yunlong took the map from the cabinet next to him and laid it on the table.

Then I picked up the pen and drew a circle on one of the locations.

"Huting stronghold." Zhang Dabiao couldn't help but said aloud as he looked at the position of the circle drawn by Li Yunlong.

"Yes, that's it." Originally, Li Yunlong wanted to find a small county town and capture it, but with the current strength of the new regiment, there was no way to do it. The most important thing was the lack of heavy artillery for siege. If it all depends on the coming and going of people,

Even if we fill in more than two thousand people, we may not be able to capture the county seat. Even if we capture it, the loss will not be something he can bear.

In the TV series, when Li Yunlong attacked Pingan County, he also had more than 10,000 troops and heavy artillery. He sacrificed many soldiers to defeat the county town. During this period, he also had two old comrades-in-arms, Ding Wei and Kong Jie, and Chu Yunfei.

Help withstand the Japanese reinforcements.

Otherwise, with Li Yunlong's strength at the time, he might not be able to capture Ping'an County before the Japanese reinforcements arrived.

However, the current New Regiment has only over 2,000 men at full strength, and its heavy weapon is an 80mm mortar. In terms of overall strength, the current New Regiment does not have the strength to attack the county town at all.

So Li Yunlong could only set his sights on Huting's stronghold not far away.

"Captain, the Huting stronghold is a tough nut to crack. Unless our regiment mobilizes as a whole, it will be impossible to defeat it in a short time. If the Hu Huting stronghold is attacked, the Japs from Qixian County will definitely reinforce it, and we will not be able to gain any advantage by then.

, and we might suffer heavy losses." After hearing Li Yunlong's words, Zhang Dabiao lowered his head and thought for a moment and said, although he also hoped to kill the Japanese, he could not let the soldiers sacrifice themselves in vain just to kill the Japanese.

You must know that although the Japanese army's defense is in the form of points and lines, the little Japanese's mobility is not bad. Each of his strongholds and the county seat are not defended in isolation.

If one of the points is attacked, the Japs from other strongholds and the county will definitely send reinforcements regardless of life and death. There will never be a situation where the ministries conserve their strength and refuse to save the enemy.

In the past, the three battalions were able to take down seventeen of the Jaap's strongholds because those strongholds were newly built and had not yet been completely completed. Otherwise, with the strength of the three battalions, even if they could knock down the strongholds, they would definitely suffer heavy losses.

Seeing Li Yunlong deep in thought, Zhang Dabiao continued: "There are one squadron of Japanese troops and two companies of puppet troops in the Huting stronghold, about five hundred people, and the fortifications are complete and easy to defend but difficult to attack. Our regiment must use three to one, preferably

Only with a force of four to one can we reliably defeat the Huting stronghold, and we must clear the battlefield quickly and retreat in time. Otherwise, when the Japanese reinforcements arrive, we will be in trouble."

"No, a hard attack will cause too many casualties. It's best to lure the kid out. Let's conduct an ambush and catch him off guard." Li Yunlong frowned and said, although he could definitely take down the kid's Huting stronghold by sending out two thousand men.

Come down, but the battle is not that big. If you don't succeed in making a new regiment, you will have to sacrifice half of the soldiers.

He had finally managed to save some money, but he was not willing to give it to the little devil. Moreover, if this happened, there would be no point in attacking the Huting stronghold.

The reason why Li Yunlong targeted the Huting stronghold was, firstly, that he could defeat it with his current strength, and secondly, he wanted to replenish ammunition before the Japanese raided it.

After all, as an important transportation hub, the Huting stronghold must have stored a lot of weapons and ammunition, and the Japs are about to launch a large-scale raid on the Eighth Route Army's base area, so the weapons and ammunition are indispensable.

As long as the Huting stronghold can be captured, the equipment of the new regiment can at least be upgraded to a higher level, and fewer personnel can be sacrificed in the face of the subsequent Japanese raids.

"Captain, although this method is good, the little devils are not stupid. If we send more people, they will definitely hide in the stronghold and not come out. If we send few people, it is equivalent to giving food to the little devils.

"Zhang Dabiao said with some worry after hearing Li Yunlong's words.

"This method is still feasible. The task of luring the little devils is left to the elite team. The first and second battalions are responsible for ambushing halfway. The third battalion moves to the outside of the Huting stronghold. Once we start taking action here, we will start immediately.

Attack the stronghold. As long as you act fast enough, you can

Withdraw from the battlefield before the Japs' reinforcements arrive." Li Yunlong thought for a while, and decided that it would be better to leave the task of luring the Japs to an elite team. After all, more than thirty people are equipped with submachine guns, so even if they are overtaken by the Japs, they will not be able to do it.

It can be evacuated safely, and it is convenient to move with a small number of people.

Li Yunlong discussed the details with Zhang Dabiao again, then sent him out, and asked Wei Dayong to be called in.

After returning to the new regiment station yesterday, Li Yunlong went back to his house to sleep without having time to make arrangements for Wei Dayong. Zhao Gang didn't know much about Wei Dayong's situation, so he just arranged for him to be together with other national army prisoners of war.

But this person definitely can't arrange it like this. After all, Wei Dayong is a talent after all, especially for the newly established elite team.

If trained well, Wei Dayong will definitely become the future king of soldiers. And with Wei Dayong joining, the elite team will also have an instructor. Although Wei Dayong is not good at marksmanship, he is still good at reaching out, not to mention the new regiment.

It is difficult to find someone with such good skills in the entire 386 brigade. After all, he is an authentic Shaolin Temple monk who has been practicing martial arts since he was a child.

After hearing that Li Yunlong wanted to see him, Wei Dayong opened the door and walked in wearing a tattered Central Army uniform.

Because the number of members in the new regiment expanded rapidly, the military uniforms in the regiment could not keep up. The newly joined soldiers could only wear the previous clothes.

"Captain Li, are you looking for me?" Wei Dayong came into the room and gave Li Yunlong a military salute and asked.

Li Yunlong looked Wei Dayong up and down. He was tall, round, well-dressed, and young. He looked really powerful and gave people a sense of oppression.
