"But with the addition of the New Second Regiment and the Independent Regiment, Li Yunlong's confidence should be much greater."
The division commander looked at the map of northwest Shanxi and said: "However, the Japanese 26th Division is also in northern Shanxi. The enemy of the three regiments in northwest Shanxi is not only the 1st Division, but also the 26th Division."
The chief of staff also said: "Even once a war breaks out in northwest Shanxi, the First Army and the Mongolian Army will quickly reinforce the First Division and the 26th Division."
"Li Yunlong should have considered these two points." The chief nodded and said, "But he still wants to fight, which shows that Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang have their own considerations."
The division commander analyzed: "Then there is only one possibility. Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang feel that when the first division reaches northwest Shanxi, it will bring greater trouble to the new regiment."
"It makes sense." The leader nodded, his tone decisive, "Then agree to Li Yunlong's battle plan and put the New Second Regiment and the Independent Regiment under the command of Li Yunlong. In addition, order the 2nd Independent Brigade of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region to also be under the command of Li Yunlong."
The Du 2nd Brigade did not return to the central Hebei area, but stationed in the North Taihang area.
Since the Independent 2nd Brigade was commanded by Li Yunlong once, the equipment of the Independent 2nd Brigade has been completely renewed, and it is already a unit with stronger combat effectiveness in the Eighth Route Army.
The chief of staff said in a worried tone: "Once a war breaks out in northwestern Shanxi, will it cause a chain reaction? After all, we have to consider the problem from an overall perspective."
"Look, if the Great War breaks out in northwest Shanxi, the First Division and the 26th Division will start fighting with the Independent Regiment, the New First Regiment, and the New Second Regiment."
"The Mongolian Army, the First Army, and even the main force directly under the North China Front Army may send reinforcements to northwestern Shanxi, and it is likely to turn into a decisive battle in North China."
"A decisive battle is a decisive battle. Are you still afraid of the little devil?"
The boss’s tone was domineering and full of harshness:
"If the main force of the troops stationed in Mongolia dares to leave Inner Mongolia, then let the Sui army recover Inner Mongolia."
"The First Army dares to leave Taiyuan and Yangquan, then our 129th Division will take the opportunity to go north to recover Yangquan and Taiyuan."
"If the main force of the North China Front dares to leave its base, then troops from our major military regions will immediately attack the nearby Japanese defense areas."
"The Independent Regiment, the New Second Regiment, and the New First Regiment will at most be crippled, but we can recover a large amount of territory occupied by the Japanese, and multiple base areas can be connected into one piece."
The division commander continued what the leader said: "Moreover, the New First Regiment, the Independent Regiment and the New Second Regiment have their weapons and ammunition reimbursed, and with the assistance of Boss Chen, they can regain their original combat effectiveness in half a year at most, or even stronger."
"That's right!" The commander nodded, "No matter how we fight this battle, our Eighth Route Army will definitely make a profit."
After hearing this, the chief of staff thought carefully and nodded: "I have no objection."
Chief: "Give power to Li Yunlong immediately..."
…
"Captain, all 500 tons of weapons and ammunition have been put into storage."
"They are all semi-automatic rifles, submachine guns, 60mm and 82mm mortars, and there are quite a few bazookas."
"Three base numbers of ammunition."
In the northwest of Shanxi, at the base of the Independent Regiment, at the headquarters of the Independent Regiment, a group of battalion-level officers were sitting there.
First Battalion Commander Guan Dashan reported to Kong Jiehui.
This batch of weapons and ammunition was for the purpose of killing the Japanese advance team. Although part of it belonged to Li Yunlong, Li Yunlong did not want it, so all 500 tons of weapons and ammunition went to the independent regiment.
Of course, the same goes for the New Second Regiment. Ding Wei led his troops to kill all the approaching members and earned 500 tons of weapons and ammunition.
These 1,000 tons of weapons and ammunition were given almost in vain. Both the Independent Regiment and the New Second Regiment suffered very few casualties when they suppressed the advancing Japanese troops.
500 tons of weapons and ammunition can expand the main force by approximately 7,000 people.
Together with the original weapons and ammunition, the independent regiment can be expanded to a main force of 15,000 men.
However, the current independent group has not yet completed its expansion, and its main force is about 10,000 people.
When they thought that the main force of the independent group would soon expand to 15,000 people, little stars of happiness appeared in everyone's eyes.
"Hahaha……"
The happiest person was undoubtedly Captain Kong Da, who laughed out loud.
An independent regiment with 15,000 men is at the level of a reinforced division, equivalent in strength to a Japanese second-line division.
But in terms of combat effectiveness, it is much stronger than the second-line divisions of the Japanese army, because of its powerful firepower, all semi-automatic rifles, light and heavy machine guns, submachine guns, large cannon barrels of various calibers, and sufficient ammunition...
Now we can do business in partnership with a new group. It is estimated that in half a year, the independent group will grow to 30,000 people.
Our old Kong is going to be the army commander!
People are in high spirits during happy events. Kong Jie rolled up his sleeves and smoked a dry cigarette, and he looked high-spirited.
"It's better to follow Captain Li to have a better future."
Second Battalion Commander Shen Quan said with emotion.
The previous independent regiment was able to defeat two Japanese second-line divisions by relying on tunnel tactics and air-dropped supplies.
After the expansion of the independent regiment is completed, the independent regiment can completely kill the Japanese second-line divisions from the front.
All of this is because of Li Yunlong. If it weren't for the good relationship between his captain and Captain Li, how could such a good thing happen to the independent group?
The main force, the 772nd Regiment, does not have such good things.
Although the current main force, the 772nd Regiment, has 4,000 men, has sophisticated weapons and sufficient ammunition, and is the leading main force group of the Eighth Route Army, it is far behind compared with the independent regiment.
"Of course!"
"You don't want to see what the relationship between me and Li Yunlong is?"
"We are old comrades from the same class."
Kong Jie raised his head and spoke proudly.
Today, Li Yunlong is getting a decent brigade-level treatment. He is living the life of a military commander. He is famous throughout the country and is admired by all aspiring young people.
At this moment, a telegraph soldier from the Independent Regiment walked in with a telegram in his hand.
He gave a military salute to Kong Jie: "Report to the regimental commander, the new regiment has sent a clear telegram and an encrypted telegram."
"Let's talk about the encrypted telegram first." Kong Jie took two puffs of dry cigarette and said.
The telegraph soldier said: "Captain Li asked you to go to Dagu Town to attend a combat meeting."
"Combat meeting?"
Chapter completed!
