The Boss of the Yan Family in Siheyuan

Chapter 451 Splitting the Troops

Author: Star Traveler

"Old Li, you are talking about reclaiming wasteland to grow food. Our group is already doing this." Zhao Gang thought Li Yunlong was talking about reclaiming wasteland. There is really no way to expand this. You must know that although their group

There are many troops, but apart from training, there is not much time left.

It is already too much to take care of the cultivated land that has been cultivated, and it is absolutely impossible to expand the cultivated area.

After all, the land needs to be planted, weeded, fertilized, watered...

"Don't worry, Old Zhao, that's not what I'm talking about. What I'm talking about is that now that the enemy's strength is damaged and they have no time to take care of them, we must take the initiative to expand the base area."

"Disperse our troops. Except for the county town, we must occupy the remaining rural areas."

"There are a total of eight townships under Ping'an County. We now have four battalions. My idea is to divide each battalion into two battalions, and then one battalion will be stationed in one township."

After hearing what Li Yunlong said, Zhao Gang felt good, but he was still a little worried. After all, if all the troops were sent out according to Li Yunlong's wishes, what would happen if something happened to the regiment headquarters?

The distance is too far, and even if you want to call the troops back, you won't be able to make it in time. So Zhao Gang frowned and said: "Old Li, although your idea is good, have you ever thought about the safety of the regiment? In case the Japanese attack.

, can people like us withstand it?"

"Old Zhao, I have thought about the question you asked. If we do this, the security platoon directly under the regiment headquarters will be expanded into a security company. Together with the elite squad, there will be three to four hundred people. Moreover, we are stationed in a mountainous area. It is easy to defend

It is difficult to attack. Even if the Japanese send more troops, they will never be able to take us down for a while. We can fully support the arrival of supporting troops. Li Yunlong explained to Zhao Gang: "Besides, our group has 10,000 people.

Staying here is not the answer. The logistical pressure alone is enough for us to have a headache. After all, the place here is too small, no matter how large the number of people are, we can't spread it out. We have to go out sooner or later. We just moved the time a little earlier."

"You have already thought about it and why are you asking me to make fun of me, right?" Zhao Gang said pretending to be angry after hearing Li Yunlong's words.

He found that what Li Yunlong said was quite right. Although there is no problem for the New Regiment to be crowded together now, everything must be looked forward to. According to the development trend of the New Regiment in the past, expansion of troops will be a matter of time sooner or later. When the strength reaches a certain

It was inevitable to go out at a certain level. There was no way to argue with this. What he was angry about was that Li Yunlong had already thought about the matter before he came to ask for his opinion.

"Okay, then I'll take it as your consent. I'll call Zhang Dabiao and the others back for a meeting in the evening to talk about this matter." Li Yunlong said to Zhao Gang with a smile without caring.

But while Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang were talking, the new group welcomed two uninvited guests, they were Ding Wei and Kong Jie.

Before anyone even entered the house, the sound came.

"Old Li, my old comrade-in-arms came here and you didn't say anything to greet him. Why, you don't want us to come?" Ding Wei and Kong Jie shouted as they walked into the house.

"Hey, hey, Lao Ding and Lao Kong are here. Lao Zhao, go talk to the chef class and ask them to cook some good dishes. Then bring over some of the canned meat and canned fruits we seized. Wait a minute.

Let’s have a drink with them.” Li Yunlong said to Zhao Gang and then stood up and walked out: “You two are not outsiders, why do we, Lao Li, come out to greet you in person?”

After speaking, Li Yunlong accompanied the two of them to the house, drinking tea and chatting.

After a while, the cooking team prepared the meals and brought them out.

"Old Ding, Lao Kong, how many Japanese have you killed this time and how much money have you made?" Li Yunlong asked curiously while pouring wine for the two of them.

Hearing Li Yunlong's inquiry, Kong Jie said: "Hey, I'm definitely not as rich as you Li Yunlong. Our independent regiment killed more than 800 Japanese this time and seized almost two battalions of weapons and equipment, including food.

The seizure is relatively small, and I won’t hide it from you. The main reason I came here this time is to ask for help from you, Lao Li. To be honest, if there is no harvest, our independent regiment will probably starve."

This cannot be blamed on Kong Jie. Originally, the Japanese did not bring much food when they went to support Ping'an County. Even if they were all captured by the independent group, they would only be able to hold on for a few more days. Such a small amount of supplies would not be able to solve the problem at all.

The only way now is to borrow it from Li Yunlong. After all, everyone knows that Li Yunlong has made a fortune now. On the way here, he had already asked Ding Wei. Although the situation of the New Second Regiment is better than that of the Independent Regiment, the food is just right.

There is enough for oneself to eat, and there is no way to support the independent group.

So now all Kong Jie's hopes fall on Li Yunlong. If Li Yunlong doesn't help, he will have no choice but to lead his troops to find the Japanese.

But this will inevitably cause heavy casualties to the independent regiment. After all, this is not the same as the previous ambush battle.

The Japs' strongholds are not so easy to attack, and this is not a problem that can be solved by attacking one or two strongholds. However, if there are more operations, the Japs will definitely take precautions, and they may even ambush the independent group.

After hearing Kong Jie's words, Li Yunlong turned and looked at Zhao Gang. After all, in the new regiment, Li Yunlong was only responsible for fighting, and Zhao Gang was responsible for managing the logistics. He really didn't know the logistics situation in his regiment.

Seeing Li Yunlong looking towards him, Zhao Gang could not remain silent. As for whether the New Regiment could assist the Independent Regiment, it was definitely possible. Although the New Regiment's logistics reserves were not very rich, don't forget that the New Regiment

There are about 10,000 people in one group.

If you save a little bit, it will be enough to feed the independent regiment for a month. Besides, Li Yunlong has decided to disperse the troops. By then, each battalion will have its own base area to garrison, and the regiment headquarters will only be responsible for the early logistics issues. After a while,

We will definitely let each battalion take care of itself.

In this case, it is completely possible to support the Independent Regiment, so Zhao Gang said: "What are you talking about, Commander Kong? You, Lao Li and Commander Ding are also brothers in the trenches. Besides, we are now in southwest Shanxi

It’s just our three troops. No matter from which aspect, it is our duty to help the independent regiment. Maybe in the future, our new regiment will need to trouble you, Commander Kong, if something happens."

After hearing Zhao Gang's words, Kong Jie quickly stood up, picked up the drink and drank it in one gulp. Then he thanked him excitedly: "I won't say anything anymore. From now on, Xinyi Tuan will only respond when something happens, even if it means going up the mountain or into the sea of ​​fire.

I, Kong Jie, will never frown."

"Hey, hey, you stupid Kong Er, can you stop being so sensational, just for some food?" Li Yunlong joked next to him.

"This is not a trivial matter. You don't know, Lao Li, I've been so worried about food that my hair has almost turned gray." Kong Jie knew that Li Yunlong didn't say this just to laugh at him, so he

He didn't care that he had been an old comrade for more than ten years, and he still knew who Li Yunlong was, otherwise the relationship between the three of them would not be so good.

At this time, Ding Wei on the side said: "Okay, now that Lao Kong's problem has been solved, let's talk about what to do next. This time our three groups bullied the little devil quite a lot, but when the little devil waits

Once the Japanese regain their composure, they will definitely take revenge on us..."

But before Ding Wei could finish his words, Li Yunlong interrupted: "So we can't give the little devil a chance. Now that the devil's strength is damaged and we have nothing to do, we must seize the opportunity while he is sick.

His life..."

"Old Li, what do you mean... you want to continue to attack the little devil?" Kong Jieyou asked in surprise.

He originally wanted to give it up as soon as it was good. Although his regiment did not capture a lot of logistical supplies in this battle, it still had a lot of weapons and ammunition. He wanted to take advantage of this period to train troops and expand the troops after the autumn harvest, and try not to make peace first.

The Japanese engaged in a head-on conflict. But unexpectedly, Li Yunlong did the opposite and continued to cause trouble for the Japanese.

After hearing what Li Yunlong said, Ding Wei looked at him curiously. The main reason was that Li Yunlong had the same idea as him, that is, he wanted to take advantage of his illness to kill him. After all, he had finally caught the opportunity. If he waited for the Japanese to slow down, he would take action again.

It's not easy.

Although there are various difficulties on his side now, the Japanese are more difficult than him, so there is nothing to be afraid of. But he just doesn’t know what Li Yunlong’s next move will be, so Ding Wei does not rush to speak, but looks at

I looked at him, wanting to hear what Li Yunlong would say next.

After hearing Kong Jie's words, Li Yunlong stood up and took out the map from the cabinet, then arranged the Kang table and spread it on the table.

"No matter what happens to you two regiments next, our new regiment will not stand by and watch. I plan to occupy Ping'an County except the county seat. Relying on the vast countryside, we will reverse blockade the Japs and block the small towns.

The Japanese are trapped in the county seat." Li Yunlong pointed at the location of Ping'an County and said to the two of them.

"Old Li, although the idea is good, does the new regiment have the strength? In such a large area, it will definitely not work with less troops. Maybe the little devils will concentrate their troops and eat them one by one." Ding Wei stared at the map and frowned.

said.

Although we know that the new regiment is powerful, after this battle, the losses will definitely not be small, and Ping'an County is the largest among several nearby counties. The small number of troops is too scattered, and maybe someone will do something good.

Bad things happen, and the Japanese find opportunities.

But Li Yunlong didn't pay attention to Ding Wei's words and continued: "I plan to split the four battalions of our regiment into eight battalions, and there are exactly eight towns in Ping'an County. One battalion is stationed in one town, even if the Japanese are

If we want to break through them one by one, we also have enough time to carry out reinforcements."

"Besides, once we create a target and occupy all the places except the county seat, even if the little Japs wants to take action, he will not have the chance. As soon as the Japs leave the city, we will definitely find him. We have enough time to do it.

Deploy forces."

After speaking, Li Yunlong smiled and looked at his two old comrades. He had already thought of this kind of thing and also thought of a way to deal with it.

As long as you achieve this strategic goal, every move of the little devil will be under your nose.

And he was not unprepared. He planned to build permanent defenses around the county. Even if the little devil planned to confront him head-on, Li Yunlong was not afraid at all.

After all, they have an advantage in military strength and rely on fortifications. Even if the enemy's individual strength is stronger than their own, so what if, as the defensive party, the advantage must be on their side. At that time, it will not be you who will be afraid, but the enemy, as long as he dares to provoke you.

If he gets angry, he will attack the county seat himself.

"Old Li, you are setting a big banner, Eight Battalions, my dear, how dare you. Everyone knows that you, Li Yunlong, have made a fortune, but I didn't expect that you have made such a big fortune." Hearing Li Yunlong's words.

Kong Jie didn't even know what to say.

Look at Li Yunlong looking at himself. He is also the leader of the regiment, and he is still a regular regiment with an establishment.

Why is there such a huge gap in strength? Originally, Kong Jie thought that he had a regiment of 3,000 men, not to mention the 386th Brigade, but even the main regiment in the 129th Division.

But there is no comparison with Li Yunlong's new regiment. He has three battalions, but he has eight battalions. Although Li Yunlong's position is still the regiment commander, he actually has the strength of a reduced division.

Given time, I really can’t imagine what the new group will develop into.

But Ding Wei was stunned when he heard Li Yunlong's words. Li Yunlong's thoughts coincided with his. Ding Wei thought the same, but his thoughts were not as big as Li Yunlong's. After all, the strength of the New Second Regiment lies here.

According to his idea, in the next period of time, the New Second Regiment will definitely expand the base area, capture two or three towns, and make its strategic depth wider. In this way, even if the Japanese have calmed down and want to attack them in the future, the Second Regiment will

The new second regiment also has enough room for detours.

The three of them drank and chatted, and it was evening before they knew it. Li Yunlong originally planned to call Zhang Dabiao and the others for a meeting at night to discuss the next deployment.

But I didn't expect Ding Wei and Kong Jie to come back. The three of them drank a lot. Besides, except for the sentry on guard, everyone had gone back to the house to rest. They could only wait for the meeting tomorrow.

…………

At noon the next day, the new regiment headquarters.

Li Yunlong saw that almost everyone had come, so he asked everyone to sit down and took out the map.

"Captain, if you have any questions, just tell me directly?" Zhang Dabiao said first.

Hearing the voice, Li Yunlong rolled his eyes at Zhang Dabiao angrily and said slowly: "I called everyone here today. There is an important thing to announce. Now our regiment has a total of four battalions. I discussed it with Political Commissar Zhao.

, intends to split each battalion into two battalions..."

Hearing Li Yunlong's words, the battalion commanders below were stunned. They didn't know why the regimental commander did this.

Of course they are not willing to split up the troops. After all, no one wants to see the troops they have worked so hard to make a wedding dress for others, and their former subordinates will be equal to themselves in the future.
