Early the next morning.

Inside the regimental headquarters of the independent regiment.

Li Yunlong, Ding Wei, and Kong Jie gathered together, and Zhao Gang did not deal with the piles of work, and sat around the table together, there were only four of them in the room, and the monks at the entrance of the regiment were on guard.

On the table of the regiment headquarters, there was information about yesterday's tank, and Ding Wei and Kong Jie were carefully reading the information at this time.

"It's big business."

After a long time, the information under Ding Wei's hands was full of horror and relief.

"It's an impossible task."

Kong Jie also put down the information in his hand.

"Theoretically, we can meet the third condition at most."

Li Yunlong also spoke.

"Indeed."

Ding Wei said:

"It is very clear in the information that only the commanders and fighters of the independent regiment can be effective in killing devils, and the cooperative troops are limited to the new first regiment and the new second regiment, even if they are incorporated into the independent regiment as a company and platoon unit, it is limited to me and Lao Kong's troops, and we cannot get support from other troops."

"Even if the soldiers of other units are retired and recruited again, it will not work, the conditions have been blocked, as long as it is an abnormal act of assistance organized on a large scale, it will not be counted, and it will not even be able to tell the content of the business."

"So far, my new regiment has 4,000 people, Lao Kong's new second regiment is also 4,000 people, Lao Li's is a little more than 10,000 people, and the total strength is a little more than 18,000 people."

"And that's including all the recruits."

"Of our three regiments, only less than 7,000 veterans who have been more than a year old have been evacuated from last year's sweep, and the rest are all recruits who have been less than a year old, and more than 5,000 have just completed three months of recruit training."

"Fortunately, we have no shortage of weapons, equipment and ammunition, the reserve soldiers are very sufficient, and it is not a problem to double the total strength in a year, but there is no way to solve the shortage of veterans in a short time, and there is a lack of officers and cadres, and the combat effectiveness is not proportional to the number of people."

"It is very difficult to eliminate 10,000 devils in a year, but it should be possible, and 15,000 can barely give it a try, but no matter more, it is impossible."

"But..."

As he spoke, Ding Wei suddenly fell into deep thought.

"It's a pity."

Kong Jie also glanced at the information on the table and sighed:

"A full group army of heavy weapons, including a full set of logistical supplies, and even a large modern hospital, such a good thing is in front of you, but you can't get it."

Zhao Gang also sighed as he listened to the remarks of the two.

This time, Boss Chen's price is really very, very high, extremely attractive, if you get all of them, you can easily defeat or even annihilate the Japanese North China Front Army head-on, which shows the richness of the east and west.

Li Yunlong did not speak, but listened quietly.

"Moreover, we still have to pay a very big price, the little devils are not so easy to deal with, and we don't have much advantage in frontal field battles."

Kong Jie spoke:

"The devils have placed 8,000 troops at the gate of our base area, built strong fortifications at various intersections, and planned to block us in the base area, and now with heavy artillery, we can knock out those fortifications that will strengthen the bunkers, and a full-scale attack can eliminate 3,000 to 5,000 devils, and we can also occupy Panxian and Ping'an County."

"But the devil's strength is tight because the territory is too large, once we attack in an all-out way, causing heavy casualties to the devil, the devil will inevitably give up part of the territory and send heavy troops to encircle and suppress, after all, the important communication line of the Japanese army, the Zhengtai Railway, is outside, and it will ····· when the time comes."

Kong Jie didn't continue, after all, the situation had developed to that extent, and it was difficult to predict how the devil would react.

"Not necessarily."

Ding Wei's eyes are profound:

"The little devil is still very strong in China, but in the world, the overall strategic situation of the devil is very grim."

"In the Pacific theater, the U.S. Navy is basically pushing all the way, and it is about to have the ability to threaten the devil's homeland, and the little devil can only defend a few island chains at present, and even the sea transportation has been affected."

"In the European theater, Germany's defeat is also decided."

"To the south, the Americans are also uniting with the national government, preparing to build large air bases in Guilin and Liuzhou to bomb the devil's homeland."

"In such an international situation, the devil's first priority is to ensure local security, and the Zhengtai Railway is only an important transportation branch line for the devil as a whole, not a life and death line that must be guaranteed."

"I speculate that the little devils should make a big move in the near future to ensure the absolute safety of the local area."

"Even if we cut off the Zhengtai Railway, occupy part of the western section, or even attack the idea of Taiyuan, the devils will not necessarily have a big reaction, at most the North China Front and the Mongolian army will deal with us, as long as it does not threaten the local security zone demarcated by the devils, it will be targeted by the devils as a whole."

"But it's still that problem, our troops are seriously insufficient, a large-scale attack on the Zhengtai Railway, and even the attention of the Taiyuan devils, this is the limit of what our three regiments can do, and if we die, we will destroy 15,000 devils, and there is no more chance of that."

"Unless, we're going to threaten the Devil's Core Safe Zone..."

Ding Wei's strategic prediction speech made Zhao Gang and Kong Jie fall into deep thought, and both of them were surprised by Ding Wei's long-term vision.

"Hey, hey, hey..."

Li Yunlong began to speak:

"In the final analysis, there are three problems, first, we don't have enough troops ourselves, and secondly, the little devils we can fight are not enough to make up the heads, and we can't afford to provoke the little devils with the heads, and we can't beat them."

"Haha, that's what it means."

Ding Wei was laughed at by Li Yunlong.

"What do you think of the price?"

Li Yunlong turned his words, looked at the information on the table, and asked.

"Very high."

Ding Wei exhaled loudly:

"Very high."

"If we can accomplish the above highest goal, we can obtain the equipment of a fully equipped modern group army, and enough logistical supplies and materials to support this group army to fight a world war."

"We can even get large-scale technical assistance to lay a solid foundation for the country's future industrialization and modernization, which can help us accelerate our development time for at least 20 years."

"Are these things worth our hard work?"

Li Yunlong looked around at the three of them.

"Whatever it takes." Kong Jie was the first to speak.

"Even if it costs me my life." Political Commissar Zhao also made a loud noise.

"There is no way, and we have to find a way, and if there are no conditions, we must create conditions." Ding Wei hooked the corners of his mouth.

"Hey, hey, hey..."

Grand Master Li was very satisfied with the attitude of the three of them:

"That's what it means, the price code is already here, although there are restrictions, only our three regiments are allowed to complete it, and we can't even tell our superiors clearly about this business, and we can't ask for help like other troops."

"But there is no such thing as a free lunch, and if you want something good, you naturally have to pay a price."

"Such a good opportunity is right in front of us, how can we not seize it?"

As he spoke, he spread out a stack of materials, including the overall map of northwest Shanxi and even Shanxi, and the overall information of the current base area:

"The first question, the strength of the troops."

Looking around at the three of them and seeing that all three of them were staring at him, Li Yunlong continued:

"Our three regiments, including the new recruits in training, have a total strength of only 18,000 people, but the total number of Lao Zhao's construction brigade has exceeded 100,000, and the total number of Lao Ding Lao Kong's construction brigade over there is not less than 10,000, these people are all excellent soldiers, and their enthusiasm for joining the army is also very high."

"In addition, the population of our base area is increasing, and the total population of the 127 villages and towns we have counted from Zhaojiayu to Luliang Mountain alone has exceeded 500,000, and it is still increasing rapidly."

"As long as the restrictions are lifted, it's not a problem to expand the army by 100,000 in a year, right?"

"There is nothing wrong with it."

Ding Wei replied.

"The lack of grass-roots officers and cadres is easy to solve, and the scale of the officer training course at the Kang Da and the general headquarters is also getting bigger and bigger.

"There is nothing wrong with it."

Ding Wei continued to ask and answer.

What is written in the business conditions is that the specific content cannot be informed, but it is normal for a large number of officers and cadres to be given to the independent regiment, and it is important that Li Yunlong can persuade his superiors to give people that the army can be expanded by 100,000 people that year.

"As for the number of recruits, there are too many."

Grand Master Li took a deep breath and said in a calm tone:

"There's nothing like the battlefield to grow a recruit."

"Well, elite veterans, all of them came out of the rain of bullets, and it takes at least three or five years to rely on training."

Ding Wei's tone was also very calm.

Zhao Gang and Kong Jie also listened quietly, did not speak, and his expression did not change much.

"Then there are not enough devils who can afford to be provoked, and there are enough devils who can't afford to be provoked."

Li Yunlong narrowed his eyes:

"In that case, let's cut the meat with a blunt knife."

"Huh?"

As soon as these words came out, surprise finally appeared on Ding Wei's face:

"What are you going to do?"

The other two also looked at it and were very interested.

"Killing devils does not have to rely on large-scale battles to annihilate at once, although it is so fast, but the danger is also great, and its own losses are also large, and it will also cause the situation to get out of control, so it is not cost-effective to do business at all."

"In business, you have to do it for a long time, and you have to make money slowly."

Li Yunlong's expression and demeanor at this time were like a 10,000-year-old profiteer:

"This time the business is for a year, and it can be extended, so we can think about it in the long run."

"You see, now the devils have 8,000 people at the gate of our base, most of these 8,000 devils are also new devils, they lack actual combat experience, and they have only been trained for a period of time, which is no different from our recruits, and now the supply of the little devils is also poor, and the actual combat effectiveness is worse than ours."

"We can first use these 8,000 devils to speed up the expansion of the army, and then use these devils to train the soldiers, so that the soldiers can grow up quickly."

"Set a small goal first, expand the army to 30,000 people."

"How?"

Ding Wei asked.

"The Zhengtai Railway is a railway line that the First Army and the North China Front Army must protect, then we will put on a sufficient attitude to let the devils know that we are ready to completely cut off this railway."

Li Yunlong pointed to the map and said:

"Let's start with Ping'an County."

"First of all, organize manpower to build a road leading from the base area to Ping'an County, not too fast, and then send all troops along the road to Ping'an County in a posture of large-scale attack."

"There is a highway in Ping'an County that leads directly to the Zhengtai Railway, and some of this highway does not even have bridges, which cannot be truncated for a long time, as long as we master this highway, then basically the Zhengtai Railway will not be able to open to traffic."

"The little devils must resist fiercely."

"Grasp the rhythm well, don't push too hard, but don't slacken, all units take turns to attack, this is the best training ground, so that in three or four months, the recruits can grow rapidly, and the overall combat effectiveness of the troops will inevitably double."

"When the time comes, let's have a big battle·····"

Li Yunlong pointed his finger heavily on Ping'an County:

"Occupy here, surround and destroy the devils inside, and ······"

As he spoke, Li Yunlong's fingers continued to move northwest and pointed at Panxian.

"Out of Ping'an County, this is a plain area."

Kong Jie reminded.

"Yes, it's because of the plains."

Li Yunlong nodded:

"By then, we should have a lot of tanks."

"You have seen the list, a main tank of various countries, plus various parts including spare engines, and the total weight of the package is about 80 tons, and when Ping'an County is taken, I estimate that it should be able to get together more than 40 vehicles, and you can also get new artillery, the overall strength should not be weaker than the first army, and there is no panic in frontal field battles in the plain area."

"Let's take this as the center, backed by the base area in the mountainous area of northwest Shanxi, continue to recruit troops and horses, develop and grow, but do not take the initiative to attack for the time being."

"At this time, our troops are directly aimed at the Zhengtai Railway, but they have not cut off the Zhengtai Railway, and then it depends on the reaction of the devils, if the devils come to attack, then we will use these two counties, backed by the base area, to block the devils."

"If the devil can't attack, then..."

Li Yunlong pointed his finger to Yuxian and Niangziguan railway stations:

"Completely cut off the Zhengtai Railway and force the North China Front to respond..."

"This is just a preliminary plan, and the specific situation depends on the reaction of the devil and then see the move."

"In short, just one principle, taking advantage of the strategic disadvantage of the little devils, we must show enough lethal threats to the devils in North China, but not threaten the overall safety zone of the devils that Lao Ding said."

"Moreover, when the time is ripe, we can also give the little devil a little sweetness."

"Sweetness?"

Kong Jie didn't understand.

"You have to have a bait to fish, don't you."

Li Yunlong smiled:

"Once our strength is enough, we can relax the restrictions on materials, such as food, so that the devils can also eat a little, and there is fuel, isn't the little devil short of fuel? Then let the First Army get some fuel, presumably, with the sweetness, the First Army can also get the attention of the devil's base camp and get reinforcements. ”

"Even if the situation allows, we can still say that we have discovered a big oil field here."

"Big oil field!"

Ding Wei's eyebrows jumped, but he was smiling:

"That little devil is crazy."

In his opinion, the devil's defeat has been decided, and now it is just a dying struggle, but the little devil has not yet reached the point of exhaustion, and next year there will be the last crazy trapped beast fighting, which is probably the largest attack of the devil, at that time, maybe there is a real chance to complete this business.

"Hey, hey, hey..."

Grand Master Li is sympathetic:

"It's just that the devil can't take it, and he can't bear it."
