That is, if we add the number of recruits in the remaining part, our current total strength should actually be about 15,000? ”

Li Yunlong thought about it and said with a smile!

Zhao Gang nodded and said, "Yes, at present, our actual strength exceeds about 15,000 people. It's just that the combat effectiveness of more than 5,000 recruits probably needs a long period of training and actual combat experience to have the confidence to fight with the elite units of the Japanese army. ”。

At present, Li Yunlong's new regiment has five battalions, namely Zhang Dabiao's first battalion, Shen Qun's second battalion, Ma Wenhai's third battalion, He Yongjie's fourth battalion, and Zhou Hua's independent battalion.

These five battalions are the main force of the new regiment, and the actual strength of each battalion has reached about 2,000 men, which is already the strength of a reinforced regiment.

If we add more than 5,000 new recruits, the actual strength of the new regiment is already the size of a division. Even if we don't add more than 5,000 recruits, the current new regiment is actually a small-scale division-level unit.

But on the bright side, Li Yunlong's new regiment is still a regimental formation, at least it can't let the national army pick a thorn!

"Then take advantage of the time when Tada Jun did not order his Japanese army to attack heavily in a short period of time, and seize the time to train and prepare for war. In fact, several main battalions should seize the time to rest and recuperate, have good physical strength, and recover their vitality immediately. The main training is for the new troops, who have just been recruited into the army and urgently need more time for training. However, for the time being, we should have plenty of time, so we don't need to worry too much about it for the time being. ”

Li Yunlong smiled and said, anyway, Tada Jun did not send troops to attack the Hengshan base area, so he has been sitting in the base area to train recruits and integrate the cooperation of recruits and veterans.

To be honest, the northern soldiers are very good. Especially in Jin Province, Hebei Province and other places close to the traditional Gyeonggi Province, the border area, the people are fierce, and the quality of the infantry is very good.

As long as they train diligently, a simple and unpretentious peasant boy can become a good fighter.

Zhao Gang nodded, agreeing with Li Yunlong's meaning! Subsequently, the two discussed some things in the base area one after another, and carefully supplemented the matters of the arsenal that had been discussed before, and analyzed and suggested for a while.

Subsequently, the main forces of Li Yunlong's subordinates, which had withdrawn to the Hengshan base area, immediately entered a vigorous large-scale military training. Veterans and recruits bonded training, taking advantage of the favorable opportunity when the Japanese First Army did not once again attack the base areas with heavy troops, and seized the time to train and prepare for war.

...... Dividing line ......

A few days later, Taro Miyano, chief of staff of the First Army of the Japanese Army, who had just arrived at the airport at Taiyuan Airport and had just sent Naosaburo Okabe, who was also the commander of the First Army of the Japanese Army, said to Naosaburo Okabe, who was about to get on the plane: "Your Excellency Commander, what does Your Excellency General Tada mean?" Such an urgent request for His Excellency the Commander to fly to Beiping? ”。

"General Tada didn't say it, but it is estimated that it should be related to the new regiment and the battle of Nakajo Mountain! Before I come back, I'll bother Miyano-kun to prepare the food and grass needed for the next battle! ”

Okabe Naosaburo didn't want to say more, but just waved his hand and commanded with a solemn face.

Seeing this, Miyano Taro also knew that Naosaburo Okabe was reluctant to say more, so he paused and said, "Hai, Your Excellency Commander! The lowly will prepare the food and grass needed by the army! ’。

"Hmm!"

Naosaburo Okabe nodded, and then boarded a Japanese transport plane on the escort of several Japanese staff officers. As the roar of the roaring planes intensified, the Japanese transport planes that took off gradually soared into the air and flew rapidly in the direction of Beiping.

Soon, the Japanese transport plane, braving the cold wind and scorching snow, soon flew to the Nanyuan Airport in Beiping.

Naosaburo Okabe, who flew to Beiping, then rushed to the headquarters of the Japanese North China Front in the city in a car!

The area around the headquarters of the North China Front of the devil has been strengthened and guarded, and seeing this along the way, Naosaburo Okabe muttered in his heart, it seems that Tada Jun is going to personally order himself this time.

Naosaburo Okabe, who was muttering in his heart, quickly walked into the command room of the front army headquarters where Tada Jun was under the guidance of the devil staff officer who was waiting for Tada Jun. There were already more than a dozen devil officers sitting in the command room, and one of them was Matsui Ishone.

Okabe Naosaburo's military position is actually the first level than Matsui Ishone, and when Matsui Ishone was relieved of his military post and transferred back to the Japanese homeland, he was the commander of the Devil's Central China Dispatch Army, which was much higher than Okabe Naosaburo.

Therefore, when he saw Matsui Ishone, Okabe Naosaburo walked quickly to Matsui Ishone and saluted: "General Matsui has also arrived!" ”。

Matsui Ishine sat on one side at this time, but he was transferred back from the Japanese mainland to serve as the division commander of a devil division, which made Matsui Ishine a little dissatisfied.

However, now that I see the commander of a garrison army and the commander of the First Army of the Japanese Army, Okabe Naosaburo is so polite to himself, and he can't treat Okabe Naosaburo with a calm face.

So, Matsui Ishine got up and held Okabe Naosaburo's hand and said with a smile: "It's been less than two hours since I arrived in Beiping, so Okabe-kun can do it!" ”。

Naosaburo Okabe nodded hurriedly, and then sat down in an empty seat on the side.

At this time, Tada Jun soon walked in from the door on the side of the command room, and with a bang, all the ghost officers who were sitting stood up.

After walking to the pillar of the conference room, Tada Jun waved his hand and motioned for all the devil officers to sit down, "All the gentlemen sit down!" After speaking, Tada Jun also sat down unceremoniously.

"Ahem, gentlemen, this time we will convene the headquarters of the Beiping Front Army to gather, as long as it is to decide on the military preparation plan for the battle of Zhongtiao Mountain and the headquarters of the new regiment! You can speak freely! For Matsui Ishone, Tada Jun is a little proud. This guy fell under his command after all, you must know that not long ago, he and Matsui Ishine were still in the same position.

Unexpectedly, because Matsui Ishine indulged the Japanese army to massacre Jinling, the impact was extremely bad, and he was transferred back to the mainland by the Japanese country, which made Tada Jun a little gloating about the arrogant guy Matsui Ishine.

However, because the new regiment, under the command of Li Yunlong, crisscrossed Jin Province, Hebei Province and Lu Province, and fought for thousands of miles, it had already killed many elite units of the Japanese army. At the beginning, Jinan was almost conquered and recovered by Li Yunlong's troops, and the commander of the Japanese 12th Army stationed in Jinan Iida Sadagu was disgraced.

This was already something that the Japanese officers present, including Naosaburo Okabe, knew about, so no one spoke for a while.

However, Matsui Ishone, who already knew something about the achievements of the new regiment, spoke up: "General Tada, I thought that it would not be difficult to take the 3rd Division to eat the so-called new regiment of the Eighth Route Army. I will ask for battle, and two days later, I will send troops to attack the new regiment base of Hengshan! ”。

"General Matsui, Li Yunlong's new regiment is not easy to deal with, do you want to draw some troops from the First Army to support the general?" Tada Jun smiled secretly in his heart, but he still suggested on the surface.

Tada Jun despised himself a little, Matsui Shigen secretly sneered, but he didn't care, "An Eighth Route Legion-level unit, even if the combat power is extraordinary." More than 30,000 troops from the elite 3rd Division of our empire sent troops, and even if it was a pile, it could kill the headquarters of the new regiment. I can make a military order! General Tada! ”
