Chapter 171 Two choices from headquarters for Li Yunlong

The two walked out of Yushe Middle School while chatting. The brigade commander took the whip handed over by the guard and turned over the horse, with a hint of reminiscence on his face.

"Since that kid went to the logistics department to raise pigs for several months, his whole body has changed a lot. He has long since he was not the same as before."

"The last time I went to the New Second Regiment for inspection, I actually saw a lot of books on his desk. You don't know my expression at that time. It's even more surprising and surprising than picking up a few howitzers."

The thin adviser nodded deeply and agreed. In the past, Li Yunlong would live out every once in a while, sometimes bringing surprises and sometimes causing trouble. The merits and demerits often happen to him.

But since he went to the New Second Regiment, he has honestly completed all the tasks arranged by his superiors, and even asked him to seize the railway without complaints.

"Yes, this kid is no longer the thorny head that forced to buy and sell when crossing the grassland. Old Xu must be more relieved than the two of us now, haha."

"Okay, then tell him about this in advance. After all, it is an experimental army and we have never contacted it. Give him more time to prepare in advance."

After saying that, the thin staff officer touched the neck of the war horse in front of him, and the two set out toward the new second regiment station together. As if they had thought of something interesting, he continued with a smile:

"You are so confident. Maybe Li Yunlong will choose the former. I will see if you are embarrassed or not."

In fact, the deputy commander-in-chief gave the new Second Regiment two choices. Although both were promotions, they were two completely different routes.

The first option is to accept further learning and then send him to open up a new military division.

Since the Logistics Department has the ability to produce weapons and ammunition on a large scale, the entire army has developed rapidly, and various bases have shown a trend of expansion.

After all, the Eighth Route Army also faces the same problem as the Jinsui Army, that is, the current land cannot afford to support more people.

Food problems have always plagued the headquarters. After all, whether it is the expansion of troops or the expansion of base areas, it will cause a series of burdens to the people.

For example, in the original work, Li Yunlong completed a crazy expansion of the army during the Ping'an Gler period, which was very unreasonable.

Let’s not discuss the disasters and plagues in North China during that period, and whether Zhaojiayu has so much manpower to absorb, so we just calculate what the price will be paid to expand the army to 7,000 people.

The additional 5,000 people in the army meant that more than 5,000 young and middle-aged workers were reduced in the local area, and more than 5,000 physical workers were added to the region. This food consumption was doubled.

Not to mention Li Yunlong's private expansion of the army, what would the brigade commander react? Zhang Wanhe alone saw that a certain unit had five thousand more mouths, so he had to come out from the logistics department to kill the commander and fighter.

In the era of small peasant economy, people are the most important labor force.

Regardless of the expansion of the butt, it will directly drain the local labor resources, which will make the agricultural labor shortage, and will eventually lead to the economic collapse of the region.

Why does the headquarters only require the 120th Division to dispatch 4 to 6 main regiments when allocating the first phase of troops?

This is not because the deputy commander looked down on the Bearded Division Commander, but he joined the troops with soldiers and supplies on the most difficult days.

It’s not because of the complex terrain in northwestern Shanxi, where there are not densely populated areas and major agricultural areas.

The development of the 120th Division is relatively slow there, and it is already the limit to be able to dispatch 4 to 6 main groups.

Although there were 105 regiments participating in the first stage of the Hundred Regiments War, some of them were semi-productive or non-productive militias, who accounted for a considerable proportion of the battle sequence of the raid operations.

It is very difficult to open up a new military sub-district. It not only requires a commander and fighter who is highly conscious and able to lead troops to fight, but also a political commissar with strong abilities.

Coordinating production accounts for a large proportion of political work, which is to allow frontline soldiers to eat and wear warmth.

Zhao Gang did a good job in this regard. He not only led the masses to do farm work, but also often summoned local enlightened gentry to discuss the matter of uniting and fighting against the war.

His existence is very important to the people in the base area. It is a benchmark for implementing rent reduction and interest rate reduction, and a beacon for all difficulties.

After the new Second Regiment had these two people from civil and military affairs, they had the foundation to independently open a new military region. They could even support nearby friendly forces while revitalizing a military region.

It was precisely because of these factors that the deputy commander-in-chief gave the first option. I hope that in the future, Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang can both become senior talents who stand alone in the army.

The second is to make the New Second Regiment a special unit. This idea was proposed by the Yellow River. He considered that Li and Zhao were more interested in fighting.

Although the group-level unit is still not changed, its status is definitely higher than that of the main group, and it will definitely become a pioneer in this field in the future.

Faced with the teasing of his old partner, Skinny Staff, the brigade commander seemed to be sure to win.

"We have seen Li Yunlong's experience over the years, and we have made a lot of contributions."

"I killed Sakata Nobute this year alone, seized a corps flag. I saved the doctor with Zheng Yingqi, seized a cavalry battalion, supported the 772nd Regiment and the 385th Brigade, and killed a major general."

"I was surprised to count things one by one. I had done so many big things without realizing it."

"He is born to be a battlefield and is an excellent soldier. The opening of a new military region is more suitable for Cheng Shifa, and Li Yunlong will not choose,"

The brigade commander said this and did not continue, but anyone could see the satisfaction on his face.

The thin staff officer took over the conversation and added: "How can you forget about the surprise attack on Taiyuan Airport?"

"Our troops have no air defense at all, and there is no way to fight back against the Japanese planes. What the soldiers fear most is air strikes. When the news was announced this morning, the morale was a visible increase."

"The three people of Huanghe, Zhang Wanhe, and Li Yunlong are really not too much to praise the three heroes of Dabie Mountains."

After mentioning the Yellow River, the brigade commander's expression became a little solemn, and he remembered the information he had received recently.

When new weapons appeared in the army before, it was not fully equipped, and it did not attract the attention of the outside world.

But since the first phase of the Hundred Regiments War ended, the Japanese discovered that the Eighth Route Army's grassroots firepower was outrageous, and they obviously got rid of Japanese weapons and reloaded bullets.

Such a huge number made Xiao Rizi realize that the other party must have its own arsenal, so the North China Front Army sent a large number of spies and used the intelligence network.

Recently, Xiaorizi's agents have been rushing into the base area like crazy. Even some people who are not so concerned about the Asian battlefield have cast curious eyes.

"After our Hundred Regiments Battle is completely over, we will send the boy from the Yellow River to the rear no matter what! The deputy director has made a harsh statement and he has to be tied up!"

"Now the southeast of Shanxi is no longer safe. After we reveal our strength, the Japanese will definitely find a way to deal with us."

"Even the Logistics Department has to take advantage of the Japanese North China Front Army to move before they recover, otherwise they will definitely be bombed."

Outside Yushe County, the temporary garrison of the New Second Regiment.

Most of the soldiers were carrying weapons. This time the Japanese were so generous that they left a large amount of supplies. Even with the help of local people, the comrades would have to transport them for at least half a day.

Li Yunlong, who had been running all night, had just returned. At this time, he took Le Zhengdou and Wang Chengzhu in the battlefield command post to tell the story of the shelling of Taiyuan Airport.

"Hahaha, you don't know how exciting this battle is. Seven 82mm mortars and one thousand shells! Our old Li has never fought such a wealthy battle."

"You can see the thick smoke coming out of Taiyuan Airport a few miles away. The Japanese ground staff are not good either. It seems that they were born to the same mother as their navy's damage."

After seeing Zhao Gang coming in, the proud leader Li said with a smile:

"Old Zhao, our new second regiment has made great contributions this time! Have you not seen the Japanese plane all day? Taiyuan Airport must be completely paralyzed?"

Suddenly, Zhao Gang, who was still happy, became serious. Seeing the blood on the other party, he showed a caring and angry expression like an old mother.

"Li Yunlong, have you rushed up with the commando again? How many times have I said, "You are a regiment leader, can you stop stealing Zhang Dabiao's work?"

This scene immediately made Captain Li Da feel disfigured. In order to break the casting of his political commissar, he quickly called three guards outside in to testify to him.

"Political Commissar, our regiment commander is so honest this time. He really didn't join the commando. Those blood are all from the Japanese cavalry. I am a monk and don't tell lies."

Zhao Gang, who was in a good mood, suddenly saw the blood on Wei Dayong's forehead. He gently took off the other party's military cap, then pointed at his wound and said helplessly:

"Okay, I understand. I'll rush forward this time, are you three? I'm really speechless as a guard."

"I was afraid that my team leader would be injured, so I rushed up early and killed all the Japanese?"

"Damn it, you guys hurry up and go to the hygienist to deal with it. I am covering my wounds this summer, so I am not afraid of infection and inflammation of the wounds."

Just as everyone was happily making the post-war summary, Captain Li suddenly felt a kind of suppression from his bloodline, and even the hairs on the back of his neck stood up.

"Li Yunlong!"

The sound was as thunderous as the ears, and it was full of energy, which scared Lao Li to the point of being thrilled. Before he could see who the person was, he immediately ran out of the temporary command post.

After he went out, his face was filled with a flattering smile and he took out a pack of seized cigarettes.

"Oh! Brigade Commander! What wind has blown you over! Please come in quickly! Dabiao! Go outside to bring two boxes in! The brigade commander and staff officer are here to comfort us!"

Looking at Li Yunlong's terrible face, the brigade commander covered his forehead helplessly. At this moment, he felt that Li Yunlong had no progress.

He took the cigarette and handed it to the thin staff officer, and greeted everyone.

"In order to live a few more years, I have quit smoking. You guys should smoke less, which is not good for your health."

After Zhang Dabiao came back, everyone sat down.

As soon as the brigade commander threw the whip on the table, Li Yunlong stood up and reported: "Report to the brigade commander! Our new second regiment will be able to complete the task successfully this time, all depends on your daily patience!"

This abnormal behavior made everyone wonder. Even the thin staff officer couldn't tell which drama the other party was singing.

"You kid isn't sick, are you? Why are you so excited today? You're still guilty after making contributions? Could it be that you want to swallow my 82mm mortar against your conscience?"

After hearing this, Li Yunlong looked righteous and seemed to have changed his body.

"Look at what you said, isn't this abduction? Those things are all public, and they will naturally have to be returned after they are used up. It's just that when the artillery bombards the airport, they are a bit harsh, and two cannons are broken."

I originally thought the brigade commander would scold him more or less, but the other party waved his hand indifferently.

After a while, the Logistics Department will be able to produce all kinds of French artillery.

Although the 82mm mortar is precious, it will be eliminated sooner or later. What's more, it was damaged during the mission, so he is not an unreasonable person.

"You kid has been doing well this year, making many contributions and not causing trouble. This time he proposed and carried out the shelling of the airport, leaving the First Japanese Army without aircraft available, which is another great achievement."

"Our Eighth Route Army has always been clear about rewards and punishments. The headquarters decided to promote you. As my subordinate, I have won two choices for you."
