Ding Kong and Li walked all the way to the independent regiment warehouse east of Zhao Jiayu.

At this time, it had been more than a month since the independent regiment retreated to Zhao Jiayu, during which Li Yunlong organized manpower to dig out a warehouse east of Zhao Jiayu and received all the materials delivered by Chen Fan.

The 4,000 tons of grain promised to the brigade headquarters and the headquarters have also been completely transported, and after the headquarters transport team joined in and several main regiments were mobilized to transport the grain, the transportation capacity has increased greatly and the transportation speed has been markedly accelerated.

See the world?

What do you mean?

Following behind Li Yunlong, Ding Wei and Kong Jie pondered what Li Yunlong had just said.

Could it be that some new weapon is deliberately being displayed?

Otherwise, what else can you do?

The two of them suddenly turned dark.

Now the weapons and equipment of the independent regiment are so luxurious, the devils drool when they see it, it is conceivable that what can make the current Li Yunlong deliberately show off must be super good goods, this kind of good thing, you can see it, you can touch it, but you can't use it, and it feels quite uncomfortable.

"This dog thing ······"

The corners of Ding Wei's eyes twitched, and he scolded in his heart.

If it weren't for Li Yunlong's request this time, he would definitely turn around and leave, not giving this gang a chance to show off.

Walking all the way to the warehouse, Li Yunlong also noticed the faces of the two of them, and naturally understood the reason, after he smiled, he suddenly asked: "The new officers that the brigade headquarters has replenished you are all in place, right?" ”

"Here we are."

Speaking of this, Ding Wei and Kong Jie both fell into deep thought.

The first batch of grass-roots officer cadres after the sweep of the brigade headquarters were not assigned to the main regiment, but were directly stuffed into two of them, and there were as many as 40 in a batch, so that the two of them did not think clearly about what their superiors meant for a while.

They are the backbone regiments, and their main task is to be responsible for stabilizing the base areas, equipment to solve by themselves, and the personnel superiors are partially supplemented, although the strength of the new first regiment and the new second regiment is relatively strong, stronger than some of the main regiments, but in sequence, it is also a backbone regiment. It shouldn't be given priority to replenish them, there are so many main regiments, and it's not that they are screaming for grassroots cadres to replenish.

They are not like Li Yunlong, who can provide a lot of supplies to other troops.

"Did you hear any wind?"

Ding Wei Kong Jie looked at Li Yunlong.

The two of them knew very well that the above had placed the base areas of their two regiments directly next to Li Yunlong, and they must have followed Li Yunlong to mix, carry out sabotage attacks, sneak attacks, etc., seize some weapons, equipment and materials, and enhance the strength of the troops.

However, there is no need to leave aside one main regiment and other base areas, and give them 40 new officers in each of their two regiments at one time, so as to speed up the recovery of the new 1st and 2nd regiments.

This is clearly too much force and completely unnecessary.

The little devil sweep has just ended, and there will definitely be no major military action in the near future, and it is also winter now, spring plowing is still far away, and the devil's township clearance operation is still several months away.

Is it possible for the two of them to follow Li Yunlong to take the initiative to attack, such as fighting another county seat?

However, after Li Yunlong came, the devils in the surrounding counties strengthened their garrisons, especially Ping'an County and Pan County, which were close to Zhao Jiayu, not only expanded the fortifications, but also doubled the troops, and it was impossible to take the county seat.

The counties near here are all important transportation lines for devils.

"The wind?"

Li Yunlong shook his head: "No, in this winter, the devils don't go out, and all the troops are repairing, what can be the news?" ”

As he spoke, Li Yunlong glanced at Ding Wei with some surprise.

He wanted to set up a stable rear base, and he guessed it all, and he thought that Ding Wei could guess a little.

It's not hard to guess.

The huge losses of the various units in the sweep show that the main problem of the troops at present is the lack of a stable rear base, and even in the core base areas, the army of devils can come and go whenever they want, and there is no way to develop stably at all. After the independent regiment held Shou County for a month and resisted the attack of the 10,000-strong army of devils, it proved that it had the strength to rely on the devils outside the door, and it was natural to think about developing in this direction.

"Then why are you asking this?"

Kong Jie looked at Li Yunlong suspiciously.

It was Ding Wei who suddenly fell into deep thought.

At this time, several people had already arrived at the warehouse of the Independent Regiment, which was a large cave located on the mountain wall, and the remote location was secret enough, and the steep hillside could also be protected from the bombardment of devils.

Outside the warehouse there were two platoons of guards.

The door was opened, and Li Yunlong beckoned the two to enter the warehouse, and the bright light from the outside shone in along the door, allowing Kong Jie and Ding Wei to see the situation inside the warehouse.

The warehouse is large, supported by wooden beams on the edges and in the middle, and there are boxes of weapons and ammunition on rows of wooden shelves, and in the middle of the warehouse, there are two piles of equipment and ammunition, the most conspicuous of which are four 120 heavy mortars in the front row, two in each pile.

"This is..."

I didn't find a new guy, but I saw two piles of the same equipment and ammunition, and after thinking about it for a while, Ding Wei's pupils suddenly shrank, and he looked at Li Yunlong in disbelief.

Could it be ·····

Kong Jie also realized something, and looked at Li Yunlong in disbelief.

"Hey, hey, hey..."

The shocked eyes of the two made Li Yunlong very comfortable, he smiled, walked up to the two piles of equipment triumphantly, and patted the thick barrel:

"Each pile has two 120 heavy mortars, three 82 mortars, each with a thousand rounds of shells, plus a hundred Bren machine guns, a thousand Mauser rifles, and three hundred thousand rounds of ammunition."

"Each of you has a pile, and a hundred tons of grain, and you will send someone to transport it back when the time comes."

"What do you want to do?"

The heavy mortars, the neat Bren machine guns, and the Mauser rifles that had been drooling for a long time not only failed to make the two Dingkong happy, but they were on high alert for the first time.

When things go wrong, there must be demons, and Li Yunlong's strange actions made the two of them stand on end.

"What do I want to do?"

Li Yunlong raised his head: "In the previous sweep, what do you think is the biggest problem of our troops?" ”

"What's the biggest problem?"

When Kong Jie was still confused, Ding Wei narrowed his eyes and quickly replied:

"Do you want to build a solid base area, a base area where you can keep the devils out of the gate?"

In the previous sweep of the devils, Ding Wei's most painful thing was that in the transfer of more than a month, there was no stable rear to provide continuous supplies, obviously there were supplies, but because of the blockade of the devils, they could not be supplied, and the baggage that the troops themselves could carry was extremely limited, which made the battle tied and completely unwielded.

"Establish a solid base?"

Kong Jie's eyes also widened:

"How is this possible?"

A stable base area, everyone wants to dream of it, but this is North China, there are more than 100,000 devil soldiers stationed, and there are nearly a million devil soldiers in the entire country, even if it is the Taihang base where the arsenal is located, it is far from being stable, and all troops, organs and factories are still ready to retreat and transfer at any time.

"How could it be?"

"As long as we have enough firepower, there will be no problem."

Li Yunlong picked up a 120 mortar shell and threw it casually: "With this batch of weapons and ammunition, how much can you improve your strength?" ”

Ding Wei approached and touched a 120 heavy force, and his tone was a little excited:

"With this batch of equipment, my new regiment, positional warfare, against any devil brigade, will not fall behind at all, and if there is a strong position, it can easily block the attack of a full formation of devils."

"Me too." Kong Jie continued.

"That's fine."

Li Yunlong immediately smiled:

"In another three months, our independent regiment will be able to regain its strength and even reach a higher level·····"

Hiss · · Hearing this, Ding Wei suddenly took a breath of cool air.

He looked at the pile of weapons and equipment in front of him, and suddenly understood what his superiors were thinking about giving priority to replenishing their officers, and asked them to work together with Li Yunlong to try to establish a solid base area.

Ding Wei thought for a moment and said:

"Don't say it, it's possible."

Saying that, Ding Wei actually took out a map of the surrounding areas of northwest Shanxi and spread it on the ground, and by the light shining in from the door, he pointed to the map and said: "Look, we have three regiments, arranged in a zigzag pattern, Lao Li is in the middle, and Kong Jie and I are on both wings. ”

"Our three regiments have enough depth according to the mountainous area of nearly 300 miles in a local circle, and the terrain here is complex, with many mountains and canyons, as long as we occupy the commanding heights and set up a strong position, then..."

"With the strength of our three regiments, even if the little devil sends a full division regiment over, he can't penetrate our base area..."

A full-fledged division of devils is generally 28,000 people.

As long as it cannot be penetrated, then there is a safe zone, and then it can be developed into a solid base that can be used as a large rear to continuously provide logistical supplies for combat troops.

"There's a catch, though."

Ding Wei then frowned: "The base area is too large, our troops are not mobile enough, and there may be problems with troop support." ”

"Hey, hey, hey..."

Li Yunlong smiled: "Otherwise, why did I call you here?" ”

"What are you going to do?"

Ding Kong and the others looked at Li Yunlong.

"I have a big plan!"

Li Yunlong will walk to the map that Ding Ding Wei laid on the ground.

·····

Taiyuan.

Inside the headquarters of the 1st Army.

"Yamamoto-kun, how's the situation going?"

Yoshimoto sat in the commander's chair, his tone leisurely, and he didn't look angry at all.

As long as autumn comes, he is confident that he can completely collapse the Eighth Route Army in Shanxi in one year and complete the task of the 'Imperial Military Station Base in North China' in the base camp.

No one can stop it, whether it's a secret spy or a mysterious foreign force.

"Miyazaki Daisa has been shattered, and the identity of the attacker is unknown."

Yamamoto replied briefly, then added:

"Although there is no evidence, there is a high probability that the special forces under Li Yunlong will do it."

"Oh?"

Yoshimoto Sadachi was slightly interested:

"Tell me what you think!"

As far as he knows, this Li Yunlong, as well as the special forces under his command, once made Yoshio Shinozuka busy, and it was also the main reason for Shinozuka to step down. Although he looked down on a conservative officer like Shinozuka, he also attached great importance to this Li Yunlong, and after he took office, he strengthened the troops around Li Yunlong.

"Miyazaki Daisa's attack was the same as Li Yunlong's previous methods, with a hint of special operations."

Speaking of special operations, Yamamoto's tone raised slightly:

"The attackers observed Miyazaki's movement in advance, and then laid an ambush in advance at a position of 500 meters outside the East Castle Gate, and in order to demonstrate his superb shooting skills, the attackers deliberately aimed at Miyazaki's head."

Yamamoto added at the end:

"Generally speaking, long-range sniping is mostly aimed at the chest position, the head is relatively small, and the shooting skills are more demanding."

"So, how can something like this be prevented?"

Gibbon then asked.

He has no interest in special operations, and this kind of petty fight, which has no effect on the situation, is like the struggle of an ant, which can only make people irritable.

"Avoid overly regular behaviour and be vigilant."

Yamamoto bowed his head and said: "Miyazaki Daisa's actions are too regular, he goes out from the East Gate every day, and the time is fixed and the route is fixed, which gives the attackers a chance." ”

"Hmm."

Yoshimoto nodded:

"Just do as you say."

"Also, it's up to you to investigate the matter and make sure you catch the murderer."

Yoshimoto took a deep look at Yamamoto, and just last night, Miyazaki met with him at night and reported to him that some members of Yamamoto's secret service had resold imperial property.

And today, Miyazaki is dead.
