Li Yunlong only thought for a moment before blurting out.
"Of course it's Third Battalion Commander Chen Dugu. This guy knows my true story and is very clever at dealing with the Japanese and traitors."
Chen Dugu was a man who was better than his master. He didn't care about the pretense of the regular army. He spent every day eating and sleeping thinking about secret tricks to deal with the Japanese and traitors.
Such people are most suitable to lead the county brigade.
"Will he agree?" Zhao Gang worriedly asked, "After all, he was suddenly transferred from a regular army battalion commander to a county brigade captain. This is a huge gap."
"What do you, the political commissar, do for a living?" Li Yunlong asked, "Are you afraid that he can't even do his ideological work well?"
Zhao Gang said: "I am mainly afraid that if he doesn't say anything, he will feel uncomfortable in his heart."
Li Yunlong said: "Okay, then leave it to me."
"The commander of the third battalion has been transferred." Zhao Gang asked again, "Who are you going to put in charge of the third battalion?"
"Let Xu Yonghai take over the position of commander of the third battalion." Li Yunlong lit a cigarette and said, "Xiao Xu's military exploits and qualifications are enough to be promoted to battalion commander."
Zhao Gang nodded and had no objection to this decision.
Xu Yonghai indeed made great achievements in battle, from the bloody battle at Cangyunling, to the raid on Wanjia Town... to the attack on Yangquan, Xu Yonghai and his assault company played an important role in every battle.
At this time, Fang Lei walked in holding a telegram and gave a military salute: "Report to the regimental commander, political commissar, brigade headquarters for an urgent message!"
"Give it to me." Zhao Gang took the telegram from her hand and nodded, "Thank you for your hard work."
"It's not hard." Fang Lei smiled slightly, then turned around and walked towards the telegraph machine.
After scanning the telegram, Zhao Gang said: "Old Li, the brigade headquarters ordered our regiment to go to the Yuci area to support the 385th Brigade and block the Japanese 9th Brigade coming out of Taiyuan. The brigade commander also said that this was the general ordered by the boss himself."
"The boss is really good at judging people!" After laughing, Li Yunlong shouted outside, "Guard!"
"Here!" Huang Erhu ran in from outside the door, his body straightened up.
Li Yunlong looked solemn: "Give me the order to assemble the whole group!"
"Yes!" Huang Erhu turned around and ran outside.
At that moment, Li Yunlong quickly gathered the entire regiment and drove west along Zhengtai Road.
At this time, it had been five days since the Eighth Route Army launched the Zhengtai Campaign. The New Regiment was fighting in the first two days, and basically destroying railways, train stations and military depots in the next few days.
With ample time for rest and sleep every night, plus plenty of food, the commanders and fighters of the new regiment were not tired.
The 9th Brigade assembled a reinforced regiment, and under the leadership of Major General Koshii Toranosuke, set out from Taiyuan to counterattack on the Shotai Railway.
Not all troops have as strong equipment and combat effectiveness as the New Regiment.
However, the 385th Brigade did not directly entangle with the 9th Brigade, and adopted tactics such as sparrow warfare and mine warfare to deal with the enemy.
When the new regiment arrived, the commander of the 385th Brigade concentrated his forces and launched a counterattack.
When the Japanese army lost its air superiority, the Eighth Route Army's artillery could be deployed with confidence and boldness.
This battle was also the first appearance of Commander Liu's artillery regiment. In previous battles, most of the artillery was not shown, and it was a strategic killer weapon as its trump card.
The artillery regiment of the 129th Division and the mountain artillery battalion of the new regiment concentrated artillery fire, which directly suppressed the Japanese artillery fire.
The Japs of the 9th Brigade were stunned by the bombing on the spot.
If Etsui Toranosuke hadn't given the order to retreat quickly, these Japanese would have been made dumplings by the Eighth Route Army.
The 385th Brigade plus the main force of the new regiment plus a large number of militiamen, a total of 20,000 to 30,000 troops, would hardly be able to eat the entire Ninth Brigade, but eating half of the Ninth Brigade would not be a big problem.
In the next few days, the Japanese mobilized troops from various places and frequently added troops to the Zhengtai Railway.
Moreover, the headquarters also received news that the Japanese 37th Division was on its way north, and that the 36th and 41st Divisions were also preparing to aid the Shota Railway northward.
The Japanese 9th Brigade regrouped and prepared for a counterattack. In the Mengxian area, the Japanese assembled more than 2,000 people, ready to respond from north to south.
So the headquarters ordered the end of the Shota Campaign.
Li Yunlong also received the order to retreat.
First return to the base area for a short rest, and then take advantage of the favorable opportunity when the Shotai Road was destroyed and the Japanese army could not transfer troops to start the second step of the planned combat mission.
The first time he returned to Yangcun, Li Yunlong turned on the radio and called his brother Chen Feng, who had been thinking about him day and night.
"Boss Li calls Boss Chen. If you hear me, please answer. If you hear me, please answer."
In the inner room of the regiment headquarters, Li Yunlong held the microphone in one hand and the receiver in the other. He put the microphone to his mouth and shouted.
After a moment, Chen Feng's voice rang in Li Yunlong's ears: "Boss Chen received it, Boss Li is here well."
"Thanks to Boss Chen, Li is doing well these days." Li Yunlong asked, "Is Boss Chen okay?"
"Chen is okay," Chen Feng said.
Li Yunlong said: "The situation is like this. Boss Chen, I have already helped you handle the business you entrusted to me. Is it time to settle the balance?"
"The final payment is easy to negotiate." Chen Feng said, "We will meet at the old place tomorrow."
Li Yunlong looked overjoyed: "Then Li will be waiting for good news."
After speaking, Li Yunlong turned off the call and put away the radio.
After a while, the brigade commander made a special phone call to praise Li Yunlong, praising him for fighting well, and telling Li Yunlong not to make trouble.
He also asked Li Yunlong to take the Sword Squadron and the Mountain Artillery Battalion to the brigade headquarters tonight. The brigade commander wanted to celebrate Li Yunlong and the soldiers.
If the brigade commander offers a drink, Li Yunlong will naturally not refuse.
Immediately afterwards, the teacher and the boss also made special phone calls to praise Li Yunlong.
Among the 105 regiment leaders who participated in this battle, only Li Yunlong received this treatment, which made Li Yunlong a little flattered.
The teacher and boss did not tell Li Yunlong not to cause trouble.
They knew that Zhao Gang had captured the stubborn donkey Li Yunlong.
As long as Zhao Gang is here, Li Yunlong won't be able to poke big holes.
In fact, the mistakes Li Yunlong made in the original drama, such as arbitrarily mobilizing troops to attack Ping'an County, attacking Heiyun Village, and taking the lead in intervening with the division commander, were all because Zhao Gang was not by his side.
That night, Li Yunlong took the Sword Squadron and the Mountain Artillery Battalion to the brigade headquarters to attend the celebration banquet.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Then he led the team back that night.
Early the next morning.
Li Yunlong finished breakfast.
Just wait with Zhao Gang at the entrance of Yangcun.
It wasn't until noon that the two heard the roar of the engines of the fleet.
At that moment, Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang quickly led the transportation team and cavalry battalion to the old place to receive the goods.
As soon as he arrived at his old place, Li Yunlong saw the airdrops all over the ground, and he couldn't help feeling secretly happy.
But on his face, he pretended to be an old god. He walked towards Chen Feng and said with a smile on his face, "Come on, brother, thank you for your hard work."
"I'm not working hard." Chen Feng cupped his hands and said, "Brother, you are really working hard when you are fighting against the Japanese on the Zhengtai Railway."
Chen Feng also did not expect that Li Yunlong would achieve such a dazzling performance in the Hundred Regiments Battle.
According to history, the first phase of the Hundred Regiment War has only been completed, and there are still two and three phases of combat.
Chen Feng is somewhat looking forward to it. Can Captain Li lead a new regiment to create another miracle in the next battle?
"It is the duty of a soldier to defend our home and country." Li Yunlong said with a smile, "It's not hard work."
Chen Feng looked at the airdrop box and said straight to the point: "My brother led his troops to wipe out the Japanese 4th Brigade Headquarters. These are the goods after the completion of the mission. There are a total of 2,300 semi-automatic rifles, all of which are American goods. 100 of them are
Semi-automatic sniper rifle with scope."
Currently, Chen Feng only has the authority to purchase semi-automatic rifles from the World War II era. For example, the domestically produced Type 56 semi-automatic rifles after World War II are not yet available for purchase.
Otherwise, he would just buy the domestic Type 56 and equip it for the new group.
Among the semi-automatic rifles such as the M1 Garand semi-automatic rifle, Czech semi-automatic rifle, Gew-43 semi-automatic rifle and SVT-40 semi-automatic rifle during World War II.
I chose the M1 Garand, which is the most cost-effective.
As a time traveler, Chen Feng knew that in the Pacific islands, Southeast Asian jungles, African deserts, and European battlefields, the M1 Garand rifle had outstanding performance on most battlefields of World War II and was recognized as the second
The best rifles of the world war.
The new regiment of soldiers equipped with M1 Garand rifles can form an absolute suppressive force on Japanese soldiers in terms of individual firepower.
After that, Chen Feng also planned to equip the new regiment with the U.S. Army's Browning automatic rifles.
Chen Feng smiled and said: "500,000 rounds of 7.62mm rifle ammunition, and another 500,000 rounds of rifle ammunition of this caliber will be delivered tomorrow."
Semi-automatic rifles shoot better than bolt-action rifles, but they also consume bullets faster than bolt-action rifles.
500,000 rounds of ammunition may seem like a lot, but when divided equally into each semi-automatic rifle, there are only over 200 rounds.
Even if the Eighth Route Army soldiers save bullets and are reluctant to open fire, more than 200 rounds of bullets will not last long. What's more, Chen Feng gave this rifle to the Eighth Route Army in order to let the soldiers suppress the Japanese firepower. If the soldiers are reluctant to shoot because of the lack of bullets,
If you want a gun, you might as well give it to 98k or Mosin Nagant.
When Li Yunlong heard this, he had a standard smile like an old farmer on his face: "Haha... Thank you very much, brother."
2,300 new semi-automatic rifles, 1 million rounds of ammunition, haha, make a fortune!
Beside Li Yunlong, Zhao Gang was also feeling like a spring breeze, with a smile on his face.
"It's business, just say thank you and leave it alone." Chen Feng said, "This is what your department deserves. Have you brought the ammunition consumption list? I will reimburse you as well."
Li Yunlong looked at Zhao Gang, and Zhao Gang took out a written list from his pocket: "This is the ammunition consumption list. Brother Chen Feng has a look at it."
Chen Feng took it and took a look, and found that a lot of ammunition was consumed. The two base 75mm shells were almost used up, and a lot of various bullets, grenades and machine shells were consumed.
It is estimated that Li Yunlong's wealth is almost at its bottom.
However, this is enough to show that the new regiment has fought without water in these battles.
"By the way, brother." Li Yunlong said again, "In this battle, I also hunted rabbits and captured Yangquan City and Shouyang County. I also blew up the Japanese Xincheng Airport in Taiyuan, destroying a total of 21 Japanese aircraft. According to the
Counting 20 machine guns in the lower county, 40 machine guns in the military town, and three mountain cannons to kill one aircraft, brother, you still have to pay me 63 mountain cannons, 60 machine guns, and two basic amounts of ammunition."
