"I told you that you should drink less alcohol, read more and learn more, make more progress, and learn more about strategies and tactics. Otherwise, how will you lead your troops to fight against the Japanese in large corps? How will you lead your troops to counterattack Japan?"
"Captain, I'm learning."
Zhang Dabiao smiled and said:
"Yesterday I hadn't seen my fellow countrymen for a long time, so I had a few drinks. Recently I was studying "Air Dominance", "Landing Operations", "Theory of Large Corps and Deep Battles", as well as "Tactics" and "Engineering"
"I also dabbled in it."
In addition to being fierce in fighting and obedient, Zhang Dabiao also has another characteristic, that is, he is basically the fastest to understand Li Yunlong's combat intentions.
As soon as Li Yunlong raised his butt, Zhang Dabiao knew what he was going to do.
Knowing that Li Yunlong had always wanted to counterattack Japan, Zhang Dabiao had been studying landing operations and air operations.
Li Yunlong nodded with a satisfied expression: "Not bad!"
Zhang Dabiao was Li Yunlong's confidant, and the relationship between them was just like the relationship between Li Yunlong and the brigade commander. Li Yunlong naturally had high expectations for him.
After all, as the army grows in the future, Li Yunlong will not be able to personally command the frontline battlefield every time.
Everyone under me, from the deputy commander to the soldiers, must learn and grow, otherwise they will have to be optimized.
Those who can live there.
"You kid can't do optical tactics, you still have to learn strategy."
Li Yunlong said sincerely:
"Those who do not plan for the overall situation will not be able to plan for a region; those who do not plan for the eternity will not be able to plan for a moment. Fighting requires not only tactics but also strategy. You must have strategic thinking."
"yes!"
"Captain, I understand."
Zhang Dabiao stared at Li Yunlong with admiration on his face.
Is this still the same foul-mouthed group leader from before?
The leader has made great progress, and I can’t lag behind.
With a sigh in his heart, Zhang Dabiao gave a military salute, turned around and walked out.
Watching Zhang Dabiao leave, Zhao Gang looked at Li Yunlong with a happy smile on his face.
An excellent commander can not only learn and improve himself, but also drive the learning and progress of the entire regiment.
And Li Yunlong is such an excellent commander!
Li Yunlong looked at Wang Dehou and asked: "Chief of Staff, how many of the soldiers assigned to us by the headquarters have arrived in Taiyuan?"
"Almost 50,000 people."
"The other half is also on the way. In three days at most, all the recruits will be in place."
Wang Dehou replied.
Because they are all local troops and militia fighting guerrillas, there is no unified command, which means the assembly speed is slower, but after the assembly is completed, they can reach Taiyuan quickly by train.
"very good."
Li Yunlong nodded.
"This time, the three brother units of the Jizhong Military Region, the 129th Division and the Taiyue Military Region have supported us with 100,000 troops."
"I plan to support these three brother military regions with some howitzers. Do you two have any objections?"
Li Yunlong looked at Zhao Gang and Wang Dehou.
"As it should be."
Zhao Gang nodded.
The New Regiment is now extremely rich, and the weapons and ammunition they earned from doing business with Boss Chen mean that Li Yunlong can provide weapons to his brother troops without the consent of the head of the headquarters.
As long as you are not supporting the national army, there will be no problem.
"I have no opinion."
Wang Dehou also said.
"Well, let's give the Jizhong Military Region a 105mm howitzer regiment, and give the Taiyue Military Region and the 129th Division each a 105mm howitzer battalion."
Li Yunlong nodded.
As the saying goes, courtesy reciprocates, and the Jizhong Military Region spent a lot of money this time. The new regiments were given to high-quality guerrillas and militiamen, so Li Yunlong naturally had to show his respect.
These guerrillas and militiamen all have certain combat and tactical experience, and after using new equipment, they have been adapted and tactically trained.
Although the combat effectiveness will not become very strong all of a sudden, as long as a few big victories are won, these troops can grow rapidly.
For those new recruits who have never been on the battlefield, it takes a process from training to actual combat to killing.
When a recruit goes to the battlefield for the first time, it would be considered good if he is not so scared that he wets his pants, let alone fights with the enemy.
With this start, if the new regiment wants to expand in the future, other Eighth Route Army military regions will follow suit.
There is absolutely no problem with brotherly troops helping each other.
"Captain."
Wang Dehou said worriedly:
"After all, courtesy reciprocates, there is nothing wrong with sending artillery to our brother troops, but our army needs to expand by 100,000."
"Based on the existing 15 infantry battalions, we will need to add approximately 30 additional infantry battalions."
"Based on the calculation that each infantry battalion is equipped with 12 75mm mountain guns, we need about 360 75mm mountain guns."
"In the last battle, we earned a total of 262 75mm mountain cannons, half of which were handed over to the headquarters. We still have 181 75mm mountain cannons left. The gap of 75mm mountain cannons is still about 180."
Zhao Gang also said: "If we give the Jizhong Military Region 105mm cannons and artillery shells from the Jizhong Military Region, it will be difficult to replenish them."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "If you give a 75mm mountain gun, the arsenal headquartered in southeastern Shanxi has a production line for 75mm barrel guns, so it is better to replenish ammunition."
"Don't worry." Li Yunlong said, "This time, among the production lines given by Boss Chen, there are two production lines for 105mm howitzer shells. As before, there are also some raw materials."
"That's no problem."
Zhao Gang said.
Then, Li Yunlong looked at Wang Dehou and said: "Isn't it just 180 75mm mountain cannons? It's simple. Let's take some from the quota of the Japanese we killed and replace them with 75mm mountain cannons."
Wang Dehou nodded in sudden realization.
Now the leader holds 91,000 Japanese quota, which can be exchanged for not only guns and ammunition, but also heavy weapons.
Simply perfect.
"Chief of Staff, after our regiment is divided this time, how many heavy artillery pieces will we have, and how many are they?"
Li Yunlong asked Wang Dehou.
"Captain."
Speaking of this, Wang Dehou was full of energy and replied with a smile:
"After we complete the distribution with the headquarters, we still have a total of 250 new 122mm howitzers, 120 152mm howitzers, 80 Katyusha rocket launchers, and 50 self-propelled 155mm howitzers."
"Based on the 36 guns in a battalion, 14 artillery battalions can be expanded."
"In addition, there are nearly 200 tanks, which can be expanded to three and a half tank battalions."
Although the artillery battalion and the tank battalion are both battalion-level organizations, they are both regiment-level in size and can be said to have extremely fierce firepower.
Li Yunlong nodded, looking extremely satisfied.
Nowadays, the artillery school and tank school run by the new regiment have reached a large scale and can graduate hundreds of artillery and tank soldiers every month.
Coupled with the original artillery of the New Regiment and the strong support from the headquarters, the New Regiment has newly expanded to 14 artillery battalions and 3 and a half tank battalions, which is stressful but not great.
Li Yunlong planned to use some Japanese quota to exchange for dozens of tanks, plus more than 100 tanks from the original two tank battalions.
The number of tanks in the new regiment is almost 400.
Moreover, this time long-range strategic bombers were dispatched to bomb the Japanese homeland. In addition to killing the Xianghe business, there was also a huge business in dropping incendiary bombs in Tokyo.
Thinking of this, Captain Li couldn't help but smile.
