The Deputy General Staff used a trick to surprise the attack.

Depart half an hour early.

Li Yunlong had just received a call here, and the dozen or so horses he had brought with him had already been reined in at the entrance of Xingjia Village, and one of the officers pointed to a village in the distance:

"In front is Xingjia Village, the station of the new regiment."

Everyone looked.

Not far away, a standard Jin-style village sits on a sloping land, built of a large number of earth, stone and bricks, and the old and low houses with yellow mud walls on the outside, and there are only a few houses made of green bricks, but they are also very old.

It's a pretty poor village.

Around the village, there is a messy dry land between rocks and hillsides, and there is a shortage of water, so even the water for drinking has to be fetched from afar, so there is no such high-end goods as watering the ground.

"Are you going to inform Captain Li to come over?"

While everyone dismounted and tied their horses, a staff officer from the 386 Brigade headquarters asked.

"No, he should know by now, let's go over directly and just take a look at the situation of this new regiment" The deputy general staff officer waved his hand and signaled not to tell Li Yunlong.

He deliberately came over half an hour in advance, just to quietly take a look at the situation of this new group.

Today is a rare sunny day, although the temperature is still very low, but there is not much wind, and you can still feel a lot of warmth in the sun.

Everyone walked to the interior of the village, led by the staff officer of the brigade headquarters, and the platoon commander in charge of the guard around Xingjia Village did not stop everyone, and the platoon commander obviously did not know the deputy general staff officer, and only thought that it was a routine brigade headquarters communications inspection, so he did not report to the regiment commander.

Walking along the bluestone paved road into Xingjia Village, everyone saw a large number of new regiments of soldiers helping the villagers repair houses and pave village roads, and about a company of soldiers carrying rifles and bayonets to train in a vacant lot at the entrance of the village.

"Xingjia Village is doing a good job."

Looking at the surrounding villages where the military and civilians were harmonious, the Deputy General Staff said in a satisfied tone.

"Xingjia Village has a working group entered a long time ago, and there are many people in the village who have joined the army, so the mass base is relatively good, and the village is also very welcome to our Eighth Route Army."

The brigade headquarters staff officer on the side explained.

In this era, many villages are widely suffering from rout bandits, and the soldiers are naturally vigilant and resistant, so the Eighth Route Army generally sends a working group into the village to publicize the policy first, and then let the village know about the Eighth Route Army through a small amount of contact, and then dissolves the village's vigilance against the Eighth Route Army through word of mouth, as long as the people in the village know that this is a different army that will not bully the people, then everything will fall into place.

Fight bandits to protect the villagers, eliminate the bullies and divide the fields, and the soldiers help to open up the wasteland and farm the land.

"Well, well done"

The Deputy General Staff nodded, and as he walked, he observed left and right.

The place where they entered the village was the west end of the village, and the new regiment was stationed in an adobe house at the east end of the village, so they had to pass through all the villages along the way.

The open space paved with bluestone, which should have been used by the villagers to dry the grain, and this season is obviously no one will dry the grain, at this time, there are five mortars placed on the bluestone slab, Wang Chengzhu is facing away from the crowd, humming a small song, holding a towel and a cannon to wipe hard, and after wiping, he also smeared butter on the movable parts of the cannon stand for maintenance.

In the sunlight, the barrel shimmered with a faint metallic sheen.

Five cannons···· The deputy general staff raised his eyebrows, it is normal for the regiment to have small-caliber mortars, but five, this number is a bit much, enough for a company.

The deputy general staff walked directly behind Wang Chengzhu, and when he saw the five-gun mortar on the open ground, his pupils suddenly shrank.

60 caliber mortar, and it is a long-barreled extended-range model, judging by the quality of this steel and the inscription, it is definitely not made by domestic arsenals, but imported from abroad.

It's even brand new.

As a deputy general staff member, he is naturally well-informed and has a deep military foundation, and he can see the difference between these mortars at a glance.

Where did Li Yunlong get these things? The devil doesn't have this thing, did he rob the national army? But when did the national army import 60-caliber mortars from abroad?

Doubts are doubts, but the deputy general staff did not disturb Wang Chengzhu, who was wiping the cannon and was concentrating, but left with a group of people.

As soon as he reached the center of the village, he made a new discovery.

In the center is an open space, also paved with bluestone bricks, which are full of scratches and look very old.

In the small open space, about 100 soldiers were dressed in a neat formation, walking in unison, stabbing and shouting slogans, full of momentum, and the guns in their hands were all in 38 big covers.

Many villagers around were watching, and the officer in charge of training still took care of the training on his own, ignoring the surrounding villagers, and even the occasional daring child running into the team, he didn't care, just let a soldier send it aside, and even the request to touch the gun would be satisfied.

At the front of the line, there were thirty brand-new machine guns, and next to each machine gun, there was an open bullet box, and the yellow-orange bullets shimmered in the sunlight.

This is a show of muscles, showing the strength of the Eighth Route Army, indicating that the army has the ability to resist the devils and protect the villagers. The Deputy General Staff naturally understood the purpose of this seemingly meaningless training.

But...

Thirty Czech-type, all brand new imports, and these bullets, this box of bullets should be 1,000 rounds, 30 boxes for a total of 30,000 rounds····· Looking at the array of machine guns placed in front of the team, the deputy general staff couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth.

It's so rich

There are no Czech devils, and there are few puppet soldiers, and these Czech styles are imported at first glance.

It's imported mortars again, it's imported Czech, damn it, where did Li Yunlong get these things... Could it be that this kid stole Yan Laoxi's arsenal?

All along, Li Yunlong and his new group have always been a wonder.

The new first regiment was originally a backbone regiment, which belonged to the second line of the back regiment in the sequence of the Eighth Route Army, and the main purpose of its establishment was to defend the base area, strengthen the occupied area, and occasionally block the tasks of the puppet army troops, so that the main regiment could free up its hands to fight the devils. In addition, it also replenishes the main regiment,

The basic regiment only has a small amount of daily necessities, and there is no allocation of weapons and ammunition, and if you want weapons, you have to rely on materials to exchange them for the headquarters, such as steel rails for guns and bullet shells for bullets.

Or seize the devil's puppet army, and confiscate the guns left behind by the people.

The other basic regiments are doing a good job, but this new regiment is not doing business, originally let him deal with bullies, bandits, and puppet troops, but Li Yunlong wants to beat the devils, and he also beats the devils to the scream, which is even more ruthless than the regular main force.

In just one year, it has changed from the weakest backbone regiment to the most capable main regiment.

made the main force of the 129th Division very faceless.

Still didn't bother, and after being silent for a while, the deputy general staff found a staff officer who came from the headquarters and said: "Fei Shan, you have a fellow who is a battalion commander here, and he is familiar with this place, you go and find out, where did you get these weapons?"

"Yes," the staff officer nodded, and left alone.

The deputy general staff has also met Master Li many times, so he naturally knows the character of this kid, according to his estimate, this kid will never say the source of these weapons, even if he asks, most of them will be muddy.

Everyone continued to walk towards the new regimental headquarters at the east end of the village.

When everyone was about to arrive at the headquarters of the regiment in the east of the village, they were met by a group of mules, which were different from the common mules, each of these mules was extremely tall, and each end carried a large number of items.

There are stone bricks, there is firewood, and most of them are buckets... The portion was not light, the large wooden bucket was filled with about twenty kilograms of water, and each mule had six camels, that is, one hundred and twenty kilograms.

Camel more than 200 pounds of water, and climb so easily, this mule is a bit powerful...

Everyone looked sideways for a long time.

Mules and horses were important in the troops of the Eighth Route Army and were the only means of transport.

"This is the transport platoon of the new regiment, that is Lao Zhaotou, a veteran, but he was injured and left with a dark disease, so he was transferred to the logistics unit," said the brigade headquarters staff officer on the side.

The deputy general staff member gave an 'um' sound, and the eyes of the mules gradually became strange.

These mules were good mules, strong, strong, and enduring, and they were the best mules he had ever seen in his life.

A good mule that was frighteningly strong was just a little surprising, but more than thirty such strong mules were very strange.
