Chapter 82 The task given to Lu Ming
The cadres of the Independent Regiment began to gather in the regiment headquarters, with political commissar Zhao Gang presiding over the meeting.
This time Li Yunlong went out for three things.
The first is to report the situation to the brigade commander, the second is to find the cavalry, and the third is to modify the tank.
Previously, based on the intelligence sent by Wei Bao, the Independent Regiment directly captured the Little Japanese's train and seized a large amount of supplies.
Based on these supplies, Lu Ming and Li Yunlong speculated that the Japanese and puppet troops would most likely launch combat operations in the near future.
Li Yunlong has reported this matter to the brigade commander and attracted the attention of the headquarters.
As for the rest of finding cavalry and modifying chariots, Li Yunlong also took care of it.
"When we came back from outside this time, we could clearly feel the big hands of the Japanese and puppet troops, almost strangling our necks."
"Our communication with the outside world has been almost cut off, and the Japanese and puppet troops' blockade has obviously strengthened. They want to trap us."
"And I also noticed that Japanese armored vehicles and even tanks were constantly patrolling the railway to prevent our main force from jumping out."
"The Japanese cavalry has been conducting repeated searches, which must be to find our location. Comrades, we must be ready for battle."
Zhao Gang introduced the situation, and Li Yunlong looked seriously and spoke directly to the cadres.
In fact, Li Yunlong doesn't need to introduce it. Recently, all the departments of the Independent Regiment have clearly felt the difference.
The Japanese and puppet troops are strengthening fortifications and stockpiling supplies at every stronghold, artillery tower, and bunker. This is obviously unusual.
"Captain, now that we have well-equipped weapons and equipment, we might as well take action in advance and directly break their blockade."
"That's right, Commander, we really can't help it when we see the Japanese cavalry constantly searching."
"Captain, it's time for our independent regiment to form a cavalry battalion. Let's just use the Japanese cavalry battalion!"
After hearing what Li Yunlong said, Zhang Dabiao and other battalion commanders showed excited expressions on their faces, and they all asked for battle.
At present, the first and second battalions have very sophisticated weapons and equipment, and after several battles, their morale is high.
The training during this period of time made them all excited and wanted to compete on the battlefield.
Especially the third battalion, which has more than 400 people and has certain weapons and equipment, wants to prove it on the battlefield.
"Commander, in this battle, our third battalion will be the main attacker!"
The commander of the third battalion, Wang Huaibao, stood up. He first glanced at Kong Jie, then looked at Li Yunlong, and asked for a fight.
Wang Huaibao is a veteran of the independent regiment. The third battalion has not yet reached full strength, and he is very anxious.
This time, he couldn't hold back his anger.
"I tell you, don't be anxious. You have the Japanese and puppet troops to fight. Now is not the time."
"This meeting is just to remind you and prepare yourself. When you attend, you must not embarrass me."
"The next battle will not be a local battle, the blockade by the Japanese and puppet troops will also be comprehensive."
"Okay, let's experience it for ourselves. Don't let it out. Otherwise, if we are held accountable, we will not be able to bear the responsibility."
Li Yunlong saw the performance of the three battalion commanders and nodded with satisfaction.
What he wants is this kind of effect. The troops will roar whenever they mention fighting. This is what the main force should have.
I remembered that when I came to the Independent Regiment before, the soldiers' morale was low and their heads were droopy.
Now, the morale of the independent regiment has improved a lot.
Li Yunlong believes that after several battles, the independent regiment will definitely become no weaker than those old main groups.
The meeting was still going on, and Lu Ming had already analyzed some situations from Li Yunlong's words.
Currently, the Japanese and puppet troops in Jin Province are carrying out the so-called cage policy and conducting a comprehensive blockade of the Eighth Route Army.
Such a strategy greatly restricted the connections and development between the various departments of the Eighth Route Army.
In the long run, it will cause immeasurable losses to the Eighth Route Army.
The headquarters is well aware of these situations, so they will not allow the Japanese and puppet troops to block it.
This time Li Yunlong went to the brigade headquarters and arsenal, and must have heard some rumors.
Otherwise, given his character and several battalion commanders requesting a battle, he would be able to issue an order right now to directly eat the Royal Association Cavalry Battalion.
The meeting lasted until past eleven o'clock, and the cadres returned one after another.
As the chief of staff of the regiment headquarters, Lu Ming did not leave, but was left here by Li Yunlong.
The cooking class has prepared good meals and delivered them after the meeting.
Li Yunlong specially took out a bottle of seized sake and took a pleasant sip.
"Lu Ming, from now on, you can mobilize all the units of the regiment at will to find out the deployment situation of the Japanese and puppet troops in the Qingshan Town and Wanjia Town areas."
"It must be accurate, and you must draw up a combat plan to destroy the Japanese and puppet blockade and kill Japanese and puppet combatants."
"One more thing. I have read the document you submitted. Lao Zhao and I will jointly send it to the brigade headquarters."
Li Yunlong handed Lu Ming a white-faced steamed bun, and he explained directly.
"Old Li, judging from what you mean, the scale of the upcoming battle must be quite large."
Deputy leader Kong Jie looked at Li Yunlong and said with surprise on his face.
"Hehehe." Li Yunlong smiled mysteriously, but did not reveal anything.
Lu Ming nodded and agreed. He already knew what scale of battle there would be next.
"Captain, the document I submitted must be obtained no matter what, otherwise it will definitely have an impact on our subsequent development."
After taking a bite of the steamed bun, Lu Ming looked at Li Yunlong and said with a serious expression.
During this period, Lu Ming mainly put forward two suggestions based on the current situation of the independent group.
First, it is recommended to improve the system of replenishing troops; second, to establish self-sufficiency on the farm, which can also ensure the escape route of some wounded soldiers.
In terms of replenishing soldiers, Lu Ming proposed integrating local troops and training them.
Even take them to the battlefield if conditions permit.
In this way, once the troops need soldiers, they can be drawn from them to supplement them, ensuring that the troops always maintain combat effectiveness.
Establishing a farm is mainly to meet your own consumption. After all, there are more and more independent regiments, and the consumption is staggering.
In addition, some disabled soldiers who are unable to continue fighting can also be arranged to work on farms to ensure their escape.
After all, many soldiers are disabled and leave the army, so survival is a problem.
"You don't have to worry about this matter. Lao Zhao and I will definitely fight for it."
"Yes, Lu Ming, don't worry, I will keep an eye on it personally and contact you as soon as I have any news."
Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang said at the same time. With their words, Lu Ming felt relieved.
Next, Lu Ming began to focus on reconnaissance of the Japanese and puppet troops in Wanjia Town and Qingshan Town.
At the same time, he also focused on taking stock of the entire regiment's logistics situation to prepare for the upcoming battle.
Time continued to pass. On this day, Lu Ming was working at the regiment headquarters when a soldier hurried over.
"Director Lu, here is a letter from you." The soldier handed the letter to Lu Ming.
