Chapter Twenty-Three: New Support, New Gadgets
In the regiment headquarters, Li Yunlong wiped his forehead and looked at Zhao Gang with some nervousness:
"What does the telegram say?"
Receiving a telegram from the brigade headquarters, this was something that Grand Master Li really did not expect, mainly because he had just equipped the radio station, and he really did not think about it in this regard, and his thinking habits for so many years have not changed all at once.
Then, because of his nervousness and the ridicule of his angry partner, he gave the telegram to Zhao Gang and read it to him.
"Hehe..."
Zhao Gang couldn't help but smile again before he began to read the telegram in his hand.
"Good thing."
As soon as he read the telegram, Zhao Gang's eyes lit up.
"Good thing?"
Li Yunlong looked at Zhao Gang vigilantly, and regretted it for a while.
This Lao Zhao is no longer the little showman of Si Svenwen, he has become more and more dishonest in recent years, his heart is insidious and cunning, and he has bad thoughts one after another, and he can't prevent it.
"Well, it's all good."
Zhao Gang glanced up at Li Yunlong.
"Both?"
Li Yunlong became more vigilant.
Zhao Gang paused deliberately before he began to say: "The technicians promised to you by the headquarters have been in place, and there are a total of seventeen in the first batch, and now they are in the brigade headquarters, let us send someone to pick them up." ”
"Arrived? Hahaha..."
At this point, Li Yunlong finally smiled.
"In addition, the headquarters commended us for shelling the airfield again, and the commendation order will come down after a while."
Zhao Gang continued.
"It's worthy of the headquarters, so soon to know."
Grand Master Li was not interested in the commendation order, mainly because he had gotten too much of this thing.
But it's also a good thing.
Suddenly, Li Yunlong thought of something,
It seems... It seems that it has been a long time since I carried a penalty? In recent years, all the criticism has been verbal? In the past, he did not have many military merit awards, but there were also many praises, but each praise was accompanied by a criticism or punishment.
"Then, in more than a month, a group of young cadres from the border area will come to our side, about 70 of them, many of whom are overseas Chinese from Nanyang."
"And, there will be more in the future, so let's get ready."
Speaking of this, Zhao Gang's tone was a little surprised, and it could even be said that he was shocked.
"More than seventy... Young cadres? ”
Li Yunlong couldn't help but move his throat.
What is a Youth Cadre?
Young, and strong faith, excellent quality, at least more than half a year in the organization, trustworthy, may be a little worse in combat level, but this group of people at least have a high school degree, and even many are college students, especially from Nanyang, that proper university level.
Zhao Gang and Li Yunlong glanced at each other, and they both saw horror in each other's eyes.
This wave of support is big enough...
"It seems that our solid rear base plan..."
Li Yunlong's mouth was crooked when he smiled.
With this group of talents, as long as he can resist the military pressure of the devils, then the plan to stabilize the base area is absolutely certain, and this group of people, whether it is to let go of the Jibu battalion that is being formed to engage in technology, or to manage the solid base area that is about to be formed, is a good hand.
"Finally..."
Zhao Gang continued, and at this point, he showed a smile with a somewhat sinister taste:
"The brigade commander left a word."
"He said: Li Yunlong, congratulations on making a fortune again!"
Li Yunlong, whose mouth was crooked when he was originally smiling, suddenly became excited.
He understood what the brigade commander meant:
Mountain artillery is a good thing, and there is a chance to get more, the more the better. It is estimated that there is also the meaning of letting him get more radio, and the superiors have always been in urgent need of radio stations, not to mention the high-quality radio stations provided by Brother Chen.
And Zhao Gang was thinking about the meaning of his superiors in his heart······
According to the telegram, the independent regiment will continue to be provided with young cadres.
Although it is not explicitly stated, it is almost a default that the independent regiment is a military division!
It is estimated that these young cadres have come here for training and training, first, to help the independent regiment build a solid base area, and second, to have a kind of experience.
······
A new regiment.
The regimental headquarters was stationed in Zuojiapu.
"Commander."
The first battalion commander Chenghe walked into the regiment headquarters and reported to Ding Wei:
"The recruitment program for a battalion of recruits has been completed."
"So fast?"
Ding Wei was a little surprised.
He gave the order to expand the army by one battalion, and he gave it for only one day!
"The batch of grain that was just shipped in helped a lot."
Chenghe had a smile on his face:
"In accordance with the method of the independent regiment, we distributed food to the families of the common people who joined the army as the soldiers' salaries, and this solved the worries of the common people; yesterday more than 200 militia fighters asked to join the regular army, and more than 100 ordinary people asked to join the army."
"Today, there are still many ordinary people who have applied to join the army, and as of now, 500 qualified soldiers have been recruited."
"Okay..."
Ding Wei couldn't help but applaud.
Zuojiabao, where he is located, is a solid base, and the people here are very enthusiastic about resisting Japan.
But no amount of enthusiasm can withstand reality.
Now that there is a grain subsidy, the worries of the people's families have been solved, and the enthusiasm for joining the army to fight devils has completely exploded, and the army has been expanded by 500 in just one day.
Then Ding Wei advised:
"The food must be distributed in sufficient quantities and on time, you are personally responsible for this matter, you must implement it in place, don't worry about the lack of food, I got a hundred tons of grain from Li Yunlong, and there will be more in the future."
"Yes."
Chenghe said seriously.
Originally, Chenghe planned to leave and keep an eye on the distribution of food, but in the end, he couldn't help but look at the two 120 heavy guns in the backyard of the regiment headquarters, as well as the boxes of shells, and couldn't help asking:
"Is this really for us?"
Although it is a mortar, it is also a heavy artillery, a heavy artillery that can destroy a strong civil bunker with one shot, and with this thing, the combat effectiveness of the new regiment has increased a lot.
"Haha..."
Ding Wei immediately laughed: "Yes, these two cannons seem to be our new group." ”
Chenghe left with happy steps.
"Huh..."
Ding Wei sighed alone at the regiment headquarters, and his tone sighed:
"The next time I see Li Yunlong, I guess I have to call this kid commander."
······
At the same time.
Taiyuan.
After thinking about it for a long time, Yoshimoto Sadachi reluctantly found that he seemed to have nothing to do with the Independent Regiment now.
So far, the special high-tech spy has also provided some information intermittently, and he knows that the independent regiment is stationed around a village called Zhao Jiayu, the number of troops is not less than 3,000, and all weapons and equipment have been restored, and the supplies are sufficient.
But this information is meaningless, and he can know it without even using intelligence officers.
It can be seen from that batch of grain that since that Chen Fan can provide more than 1,000 tons of grain, there is no problem in providing a certain amount of materials.
There is a dense forest and mountainous area, and with the strength of the independent regiment in Shou County, even if the strength is reduced by half, it will require at least one full brigade to encircle and suppress, not to mention that there are other Eighth Route Army troops over there.
And under his hands...
Don't look at the First Army, but not part of the troops are diluted by the long line of communication guards and city garrisons, and now let alone a brigade, it is difficult for him to draw out even a wing.
The main divisions and regiments have all been transferred to participate in the Southeast Asian and Pacific campaigns, and the newly formed divisions and regiments of the second and third divisions in China have not yet been put in place, and they will have to wait for two months at the earliest.
Unless, he doesn't care about other places and mobilizes troops to deal with Li Yunlong, but in that case, the rest of the Eighth Route Army will inevitably take advantage of the emptiness of troops and wreak havoc, which he absolutely cannot afford.
"Yaga..."
Gibbon blew his beard in anger and glared.
His airport was bombarded, and he could only swallow this breath. It's a shame.
"Order, the 33rd Wing, the 5th Brigade to go to Ping'an County."
In the end, Gibbon still pulled out a brigade to put pressure on the independent regiment.
In this way, with the addition of the original troops, Ping'an County, which is closest to Li Yunlong's station, has the strength of three brigades, almost the strength of a wing, and can confront Li Yunlong head-on without defeat, which will definitely put a lot of pressure on Li Yunlong and make him dare not mess around.
Two months later, the infantry wing of the newly formed division arrived, and he had enough troops to deal with this Li Yunlong.
Gibbon's eyes flashed.
Jingle bells····
As soon as the order was given, the phone in front of him rang, and Yoshimoto picked up the phone, and his face suddenly changed greatly:
'General Gangmura...
Because the airfield of the 1st Army was shelled for the third time, this is to blame him.
······
In the afternoon of the same day.
Zhao Jiayu.
Zhang Dabiao is making final preparations for departure.
"Report to the battalion commander, the first battalion has been assembled."
A company commander of the 1st battalion reported to Zhang Dabiao.
"Hmm."
Zhang Dabiao glanced at the battalion with a total of 800 people and nodded with satisfaction.
Only 350 people broke out of the first battalion from Shou County, but now after a short period of one month, it has recovered to 800 people, and half of those who have joined the army are militia fighters, and the rest are also strong laborers, and under the leadership of enough grassroots officers and cadres, the combat effectiveness has not been reduced much.
"The third artillery company has also been assembled."
At the same time, a tall, thin and slender man with a long figure also ran over and saluted Zhang Dabiao.
This person is the commander of the newly formed Third Artillery Company, Li Changshun, who is 20 years old this year, joined the army at the age of 18, that is, the independent regiment that Li Yunlong joined when he first came, because of his excellent cultural and academic performance, he was transferred to the artillery unit a year ago, and this time he was elected by Iwashiro to serve as the commander of the Third Artillery Company.
"You've got enough equipment and shells, right?"
Zhang Dabiao asked.
What they have to deal with this time is a devil brigade, plus a transport team of twenty trucks, the total number of devils is more than 1,200 people, although they do not need to be completely annihilated, they only need to be severely damaged, or destroy the materials and the cars of the transport convoy, the focus is the third artillery company.
"Eight 82 mortars, one ammunition base for each gun, a total of six hundred and forty shells."
Li Changshun reported.
"I'm ready, too."
By Zhang Dabiao's side, the monk took the remaining half of the special forces.
"Monk, this time it's up to you to do it first."
Zhang Dabiao looked at the monk, focusing on the three big mules beside the monk.
The three big mules carried explosives on their backs, black powder made by the regiment.
The power of this thing is far less than that of yellow explosives, and it is easy to get damp, and it is troublesome to detonate.
But after thinking about it, Zhang Dabiao thought that there was no need for that.
Zhao Jiayu has a black powder workshop, which can be made by himself, and after the independent regiment comes, there are enough manpower, sufficient supplies, and the output has increased greatly, so there is no need to use precious yellow explosives.
This thing, as long as the number is enough, even if it is a devil tank, it can be directly lifted.
Three large mules with three hundred kilograms of black powder were enough.
Moreover, this time there is a new piece of equipment·····
Zhang Dabiao cast his eyes on the backs of the three large mules, where in addition to the black powder wrapped in cotton, there were bundles of gray wires and a press detonator.
This is a new type of detonator provided by Boss Chen.
Hey, hey, hey... Zhang Dabiao suddenly smiled, with this thing, there is no longer a need for a long detonation rope, and there is no need to worry about being discovered by the devil in advance of the buried explosive bag.
Wires can be buried deep in the earth and will hardly be found.
"Let's go."
With a wave of his hand, Zhang Dabiao took a battalion, three artillery companies, and half a special squad to the predetermined location to set up an ambush.
