"Brigadier, this..."

The brigade commander's words made Grand Master Li speechless for a while.

What do you want, say it yourself?

How does this sound problematic!

Not to mention the wrong punishment of his private transfer of troops, just saying that the reward for his two meritorious deeds should also be appreciated by the superiors and decide what reward to give him, not what he wants.

It's the other way around!

Moreover, you don't know what we Xiao Li want?

If there are not enough qualified officers, even if the number of troops increases, the combat effectiveness will not be good.

Then the range of activities of the troops is a little larger, which is convenient for fighting devils, and we don't need anything else.

However, the brigade commander's words made Li Yunlong feel very wrong, and he didn't dare to say it.

This seems to be called anti-customer-oriented? No, it should be against the host! Yes, the anti-host is the guest. Recently, Grand Master Li, who had been supplemented by Zhao Gang's cultural knowledge, had a newly learned idiom in his mind.

"What, don't know what you want?"

The brigade commander looked at Li Yunlong, who was full of confusion, with a smile on his face, and continued.

"Don't worry about your private transfer of troops, I already know about this incident, you want to notify the brigade headquarters, but the news of the problem has not been delivered, and you can't be blamed."

His words seemed to be comforting Li Yunlong, and he was relieved to boldly say his request.

"That's so..."

Seeing Li Yunlong's continued entangled expression, the brigade commander proposed a solution:

"I discussed with the boss of the headquarters before, if you have made a great contribution, I will promote you to the deputy commander of our brigade, follow me, and the independent regiment will be handed over to others to lead, how about it?"

"When you are familiar with the command of the brigade-level troops, a new brigade will be formed for you, anyway, you have your own weapons and ammunition channels."

These words frightened Li Yunlong.

Stay with your Brigadier?

Isn't that my life?

Besides, how nourishing our lives are now. The family is full, the weapons and ammunition of the whole regiment exceed 100 tons, his partner Lao Zhao Shun's eyes are on the taste, the troops are screaming one by one, and his subordinates are very handy, so he doesn't want to be promoted to be a brigade commander, and he won't do it for a division commander.

As long as another year passes, the independent regiment will be stronger than any brigade, and when the time comes, if you encounter any devil wing, you will swallow it directly.

Thinking of this, Grand Master Li's eyes rolled slightly:

"Hey, brigade commander, this is my ability, it's okay to be a regiment commander and do some commando work, but being a brigade commander is too much to promote me, besides, my cultural foundation as a deputy brigade commander is not enough."

"Save my head, it will be useless to study for a few more years."

"Originally, I wanted to take advantage of the first army of devils to leave Taiyuan to fight a dozen devil airports, but I accidentally learned that there was a ton of gold to be shipped away in Taiyuan, so I thought, isn't our army short of funds? I took it back. ”

"The bombardment of the airport was to inform you, but I didn't expect the communications corps to meet Yamamoto's old devil on the way, that's it..."

Speaking of this, Li Yunlong rubbed his hands and said in a simple tone:

"You see, if you don't get promoted, you'll be spared. We are also contributing to the War of Resistance and the Army, as we should. ”

"If I did a good job this time, and I really plan to give some rewards, then give dozens of company-platoon-level officers to our independent regiment? I'm so short of officers here. ”

"Hahaha..."

"You're very conscious."

"Not bad!"

The brigade commander nodded with satisfaction: "However, there were only a few dozen officers from me last time, why is it not enough?" How many people do you have now? Such a shortage of officers? ”

The backbone regiment theoretically has unlimited recruitment and expansion, but it still has to be reported to the superiors, but for Li Yunlong, the brigade commander doesn't believe the numbers reported by this guy at all.

This dog, every few days, maybe the number of troops will be completely different.

"Three battalions, an artillery company, a cavalry company, a transport company."

In the face of the brigade commander, Li Yunlong was still very honest, of course, the main reason was that he didn't want to be a deputy brigade commander: "Including non-combatants, there are more than 1,700 people in the whole regiment, but there are also 300 recruit reserve battalions, these recruits are also equipped with weapons and participate in training, but because there are not enough qualified officers, this battalion has not participated in battles." ”

The squad leader can be promoted by recruits, but the company commander and platoon commander are absolutely not.

Of course, that's a special case when it's a brutal fight.

The platoon commander must be a veteran for at least one year or so, otherwise it will seriously reduce the combat effectiveness of the troops, as well as the execution of orders. However, there are very few veterans who are suitable to serve as officers, and it is better for officers to understand a little culture, read maps, and lead soldiers, which requires systematic teaching and training.

It is not uncommon for people who are naturally suitable for officers above the rank and platoon level, but they are almost impossible to find.

A platoon of 20 people, 1,600 people in the independent regiment, and he now has more than 70 qualified platoon-level officers, and the troops at the first platoon level need to take the lead in the charge, and the loss rate is extremely high.

"Seventeen hundred."

The brigade commander smiled: "In the basic regiment, there is no more than you." ”

The basic regiment, because there is no resource supply from the superiors, and the material consumption is all on its own, basically a thousand people are a little less, and if there are more, they can't afford to raise more, and a thousand people can only eat thousands of catties a day.

"Of course."

Li Yunlong raised his neck, and his tone was confident: "We are the most capable of fighting in the basic regiment, and if the brigade commander has any hard bones in the future, you can hand them over to me, and I will guarantee that you will gnaw them down." ”

"Hahaha."

The brigade commander laughed: "Okay, I remember what you said today." ”

As soon as these words came into his ears, Li Yunlong immediately relaxed.

It seems that the position of this deputy brigade commander should not be his.

No need to be promoted.

"This time, although your kid made the mistake of transferring troops without authorization, but there was a report in advance, so this is just a small problem, so I won't pursue it, but the shelling of Taiyuan Airport and this credit is really not small."

The brigade commander looked at Li Yunlong meaningfully.

Who can Master Li hide from this set of operations? Including the division commander and the boss, no one who is familiar with Li Yunlong will believe that this guy suddenly discovered the situation and had no time to report it.

However, Li Yunlong's efforts to hide his ears and steal the bell like this can indeed save a lot of trouble, and some opposing voices are not good to continue to talk about this product.

"So, the superiors decided that from today onwards, they will give you the treatment of deputy brigade commander level, but you will still be your regiment commander in the independent regiment."

"And then..."

Speaking of this, the brigade commander paused:

"The officers you want, I will supplement you with the standard of two main regiments, and give priority to replenishing your independent regiment. This is the result of my discussion with the boss and the division commander. ”

"Well, this is okay."

"Yes, yes, yes."

Hearing this, Li Yunlong almost jumped up with joy, and bowed to the brigade commander in a series of ways: "Thank you, brigade commander, thank you, brigade commander." ”

These two rewards are simply wonderful.

The Eighth Route Army does not currently have a military rank system, so it is about treatment. The treatment of the deputy brigade commander is secondary, and he is not interested, the important thing is that with the treatment of the deputy brigade commander, then he, the commander of the independent regiment, will sit steadily, and if he wants to remove him, he must hold a meeting of the headquarters organ to decide.

This made Grand Master Li finally not have to worry about it, and suddenly lost the independent regiment.

The junior officers of the two main regiments added that this was also a timely rain, as long as there were enough officers, he could immediately expand the army to 2,500 people. Become a standard group.

"Give me a chance to use it."

The brigade commander picked up the horsewhip: "Another company to escort gold to the headquarters." ”

"Yes."

Li Yunlong pointed to a guard platoon soldier, his voice was loud and full of energy: "Go and call Huang Baowang, then he will prepare the transport team, and ask Zhang Dabiao to take a company to escort the brigade commander to the headquarters." ”

"Later..."

The brigade commander walked to the door with a horsewhip, stopped suddenly, and then walked up to Li Yunlong and patted him on the shoulder:

"Less... Mess with me. ”

"Ahh

"I promise that I will be safe in the future."

Li Yunlong hurriedly promised.

When the brigade commander left, Li Yunlong found that he had an extra pack of brand-new cigarettes in his hand.

This was apparently given to him by the brigade commander.

Quickly stuffing the cigarette into his pocket, Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang glanced at each other, and they both saw joy in each other's eyes.

With the continuous replenishment of the two main regiments of grass-roots officers, the expansion of the independent regiment can finally be completely unleashed.

·······

Compared with Grand Master Li's happiness, Yamamoto Kazuki in Taiyuan was very unhappy at this time.

This Dazuo was standing outside Taiyuan City at this time, looking at the pile of mines converted from grenades dug up in the open space, as well as the mine-buried areas drawn by his subordinates, and then looked at the corpse of a special combat team member on the side, and his originally gloomy expression became as black as the bottom of a pot.

After returning to Taiyuan, he got the first bad news.

His newly appointed Secret Service Team 1st Combat Team Leader, Kazuo Ohno, was killed while escorting Gold, along with five Secret Service Reserves.

After hearing the news, Kazuki Yamamoto was so angry that he almost pulled out Kazuo Ohno, who had been killed, and shot him.

Rubbish!

was actually killed by a few people named Hanako Eighth Route Army.

Then, Kazuki Yamamoto was ordered by Yoshio Shinozuka to investigate the shelling of Taiyuan Airport.

The angry Yamamoto pulled all the special teams out again, searched for traces of battle, and dug up the mines left by Li Yunlong's independent regiment.

However, what he didn't expect was that the other party's method of laying mines was extremely tricky, although his special forces had received strict training in laying mines, but his special forces still lost one person in this digging.

He was so angry that he almost died.

"Disbanded."

After a few curses and a request to strengthen demining training, Yamamoto disbanded the special team.

Taking a few deep breaths and suppressing the anger in the center, Kazuki Yamamoto lowered his head and picked up a grenade with a fuse removed and looked at it, and then looked at the nearly a thousand grenades that had been excavated that had been made into mines, and fell into deep thought.

······

"Yamamoto-kun, did you find anything?"

In the Taiyuan headquarters, Yoshio Shinozuka, who had just returned to Taiyuan, looked at Kazuki Yamamoto who walked in.

"Your Excellency, General."

After Kazuki Yamamoto bowed his head and saluted, he took out the map he drew and handed it to Yoshio Shinozuka: "This is the offensive route of Li Yunlong's troops this time, which includes mine laying sites and different positions of eight rounds of shelling. ”

Yoshio Shinozuka looked down at the map in his hand.

The lines of the map are simple and precise, showing the depth of the cartographer's skills.

Looking at the map in his hand, Yoshio Shinozuka's eyes gradually became solemn:

"The selection of the enemy's artillery positions and the movement route of the blocking troops were just right, almost perfectly isolating the attack on the artillery positions by the troops pursuing from Taiyuan City and the airport. The setting of the minefield was also carefully prepared, which completely limited the numerical superiority of the imperial army. ”

"This Li Yunlong still has two brushes."

"Besides, he seems to have been planning for my airport and gold for a long time."

Such a detailed arrangement of positions requires not only an experienced commander, but also definitely not a day or two to be ready. It must be field-based and modified according to the actual terrain.

"Hmph."

With a cold snort, Yoshio Shinozuka's words were murderous.

The First Army's Flying Brigade was his baby bump, which was almost completely wiped out at one time, which reduced the combat effectiveness of the First Army by at least two percent, and made his killing intent towards Li Yunlong reach its peak.

There is also more than a ton of gold, which is the 'achievement' he handed over to the base camp, and now it is gone, and the base camp is indispensable to count him.

"General"

Yamamoto Kazuki says:

"I'm afraid it's more than that."

"The other side dispatched an artillery squadron, an infantry squadron, and a cavalry squadron, totaling more than five hundred people, and carrying thousands of shells and a large amount of weapons and ammunition. Such a large number of troops and baggage can quietly pass through the villages and towns around Taiyuan. ”

"That's the weirdest thing."

"Yamamoto-kun is right."

Yoshio Shinozuka narrowed his small eyes under his glasses, and his tone was gloomy:

"The area around Taiyuan is full of villages and towns controlled by the imperial army, since the last attack on the Kwantung Army squadron, I have expanded the cordon to a range of 20 kilometers around Taiyuan, and almost all villages and towns have set up observation posts, as well as plainclothes patrols."

"It's hard to imagine how they managed to evade such a dense crowd of observation posts and patrols."

One or two people, a dozen people, and even a hundred lightly armed guerrillas passed through him, but five or six hundred people, including more than a squadron of cavalry, an artillery squadron and thousands of shells, such a large force passed, it was almost impossible not to be detected.

"Unless, they have all the information about the observation posts and patrols."

Kazuki Yamamoto said the latter words.

"Don't make a noise about this matter first, you can investigate it secretly first, and report to me immediately if you find anything."

Yoshio Shinozuka narrowed his eyes, and after being silent for a long time, he changed the topic:

"The next thing we do is to prepare for the attack."

Yoshio Shinozuka took out an order from the North China Front Headquarters: "In this operation, each unit will clear the interior of the opponent's base area on the scale of a brigade, and take the elimination of the Eighth Route Army and its supporters as the combat goal. ”

"In addition..."

Yoshio Shinozuka looked at Kazuki Yamamoto: "Your combat application, the North China Front Command agreed." ”

Kazuki Yamamoto's eyes suddenly became hot.

His operational application passed, that is, his opportunity to promote the special operation came!
