Rise from the sword

Chapter 174 Reward, the devil's counterattack
"Brigade Commander, this..."

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

What do you want, say it yourself?
Why does this sound wrong!
Not to mention the punishment for his mistake of mobilizing troops without permission, just talking about the rewards for his two merits. According to common sense, it should be the superiors who appreciate the merits and decide what rewards to give him, not what he wants.

Get it upside down!

Moreover, you don't know what our little Li wants?

It is enough to have more grassroots officers at the company and platoon level trained by the headquarters. 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 slightly larger, so it is convenient to fight devils, and we don't need anything else.

However, what the brigade commander said made Li Yunlong feel that something was wrong, so he didn't dare to say it.

This seems to be called anti-customer-oriented?No, it should be turning the host into the guest!Yes, turn the host into the guest.A newly learned idiom appeared in the mind of Li Datuan, who was recently supplemented by Zhao Gang's cultural knowledge.

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

The brigade commander looked at the troubled Li Yunlong with a smile, and continued talking.

"Don't worry about your private mobilization of troops. I already know what happened this time. You wanted to notify the brigade headquarters, but the news of the problem was not delivered to you. I can't blame you for that."

His words seemed to comfort Li Yunlong to speak out his request boldly.

"That's it..."

Seeing Li Yunlong's continued tangled expression, the brigade commander proposed a solution:
"I discussed with the bosses of the headquarters before. If you make great contributions, I will promote you to be the deputy brigade commander of our brigade and follow me. The independent regiment will be handed over to other people. How about it?"

"When you are familiar with the command of troops at the brigade level, a new brigade will be formed for you. Anyway, you also have access to weapons and ammunition."

These words startled Li Yunlong.

To stay with your brigade commander?

Isn't this killing me?
Besides, how nourishing our life is now.The household is well-stocked, the regiment's weapons and ammunition exceed [-] tons, and his partner, Old Zhao Shun, sees the taste. The troops are all screaming, and the subordinates are very smooth. He doesn't want to be promoted to be a brigade commander, even if he is a division commander.

As long as another year passes, the independent regiment will definitely be stronger than any brigade. At that time, if they encounter any devils, they will directly swallow them up.

Thinking of this, Leader Li's eyeballs rolled around:

"Hey, brigade commander, that's all I can do. It's okay to be a brigade commander and do some commando work. It's too flattering to be a brigade commander. Besides, I don't have enough cultural foundation to be a deputy brigade commander. .”

"Save my head, it's useless to study for a few more years."

"Originally, I wanted to take advantage of the Devil's First Army to leave Taiyuan to fight a dozen devils at the airport. I accidentally learned that a ton of gold in Taiyuan was going to be transported away. I thought, isn't our army short of funds? I just took it back .”

"The bombardment of the airport is to inform you. I didn't expect the communications soldier to meet that old devil Yamamoto on the way, so..."

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

"Look, if you don't want to be promoted, you can avoid it. We are also contributing to the war of resistance and the army. We should."

"If I do a good job this time, and I really plan to give some rewards, then I will send dozens of company and platoon officers to our independent regiment? I really have a shortage of officers here."

"Hahaha···"

"Your ideological consciousness is very high."

"Not bad!"

The brigade commander nodded in satisfaction: "However, last time I changed dozens of officers from me, why is it not enough? How many people do you have now? So short of officers?"

In theory, the core regiment has unlimited recruitment and expansion, but it still needs to be reported to the superior. However, for Li Yunlong, the brigade commander does not believe the number reported by this guy at all.

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

"Three battalions, one artillery company, one cavalry company, and one transport company."

Facing the brigade commander, Li Yunlong is still very honest. Of course, the main reason is that he does not want to be a deputy brigade commander: "Including non-combatants, the whole regiment has a total of more than 700 people, but there is still a reserve battalion of 300 recruits. The recruits were armed and trained, but the battalion had not yet fought because there were not enough qualified officers."

Squad leaders can be promoted from recruits, but company commanders and platoon leaders are absolutely not.

Of course, that is a special case during brutal battles.

The platoon leader must be a veteran of at least one year, otherwise it will seriously reduce the combat effectiveness of the troops and the ability to execute orders.But very few veterans are suitable to serve as officers, and it is best for officers to understand a little culture, read maps, and lead soldiers, all of which require systematic teaching and training.

There are not no people who are naturally suitable for officers above the platoon, but they are almost impossible to find.

There are 20 people in a platoon, and the independent regiment has 600 people. He, Commander Li, now has more than 70 qualified platoon-level officers. The first-level troops need to take the lead in charging, and the loss rate is extremely high. It is already very good to have so many independent regiments.

"One thousand and six hundred people."

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

Since there is no supply of resources from the superiors, the core groups rely on themselves for material consumption. Basically, there are a little less than 1000 people.

"of course."

Li Yunlong raised his neck and said confidently: "We are the most capable fighters in the cadre regiment. If the brigade commander has any tough bones in the future, you can leave them to me, and I will definitely chew them out for you."

"Hahaha."

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

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

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

There is no need to be promoted.

"This time, although your kid made a mistake in mobilizing troops without authorization, but he reported it in advance, so this is just a small problem, so we won't pursue it, but the bombardment of Taiyuan Airport and this credit is indeed not small."

The brigade commander looked at Li Yunlong meaningfully.

Who can lie to Li Datuan's operation?No one who is familiar with Li Yunlong, including the teacher and the boss, would believe that this guy suddenly discovered the situation and had no time to report it.

However, Li Yunlong's deceitful behavior can indeed save a lot of trouble, and it is difficult for some opposing voices to continue talking about this stuff.

"So, the superior decided that from today onwards, you will be treated at the level of deputy brigade commander, but you will still be your regiment leader in the independent regiment."

"Then···"

Speaking of this, the Brigadier paused:
"The officer you want, I will supplement you with the standard of the two main regiments, and give priority to supplementing your independent regiment. This is the result of my discussions with the boss and the division commander."

"Well, this is okay."

"Yes, yes, yes."

Hearing this, Li Yunlong was so happy that he almost jumped up, and bowed a series of bows to the brigade commander: "Thank you brigade commander, thank you brigade commander, thank you brigade commander."

These two rewards are simply too good.

The Eighth Route Army currently does not have a military rank system, so we are talking about remuneration.He is not interested in the treatment of the deputy brigade commander, and the second is the treatment. The important thing is that with the treatment of the deputy brigade commander, he, the head of the independent regiment, can sit securely. If he wants to remove him, he must hold a meeting at the headquarters to decide.

This made Li Datuan finally don't have to worry, and suddenly lost the independent regiment.

The grassroots officers of the two main regiments added that this is also timely. As long as there are enough officers, he can immediately expand the army to 500 people.Become a standard large group.

"Use the transport team for me."

The brigade commander picked up his whip and said, "Shoot another company to escort Jin to the headquarters."

"Yes."

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

"In the future..."

The brigade commander walked to the door with a whip, stopped suddenly, then walked to Li Yunlong's side, and patted him on the shoulder:

"Stop... make trouble for me."

"what!"

"I promise you will be safe and sound in the future."

Li Yunlong quickly promised.

After the brigade commander left, Li Yunlong realized that there was a new pack of cigarettes in his hand.

This was obviously given to him by the brigade commander.

Quickly stuffing the cigarettes into their pockets, Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang looked at each other, and they both saw joy in each other's eyes.

With the continuous replenishment of grassroots officers from the two main regiments, the independent regiment can finally completely let go of its military expansion.

·······
Compared with the happiness of Li Datuan, Kazuki Yamamoto in Taiyuan was very unhappy at this time.

The Colonel was standing outside Taiyuan City at this time, looking at a pile of mines that had been dug out and modified from grenades, and the mine laying area drawn by his hands, and then looked at the corpse of a special soldier beside him, The originally gloomy expression became as black as the bottom of a pot.

After returning to Taiyuan, he got bad news immediately.

Kazuo Ono, his newly appointed leader of the first combat team of the Secret Service, was killed on the way to escort the gold, along with five reserve members of the secret service.

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

waste!

He was actually killed by a few beggars from the Eighth Route Army.

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

In a fit of anger, Yamamoto pulled all the special agents out again, searched for traces of the battle, and dug out the mines left by Li Yunlong's independent regiment.

But what he didn't expect was that the opponent's way of laying mines was extremely tricky. Although his special agent team had received strict training in arranging landmines, his special agent team still lost one person during this digging.

He was so angry that he almost died suddenly.

"Disband."

After scolding a few words and requesting to strengthen mine clearance training, Yamamoto dismissed the special agent team.

Taking a few deep breaths to suppress the anger in the center, Kazuki Yamamoto lowered his head and picked up a grenade whose fuse had been removed, looked at it, and then looked at the nearly thousand grenades that had been excavated and made into landmines, falling 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 Majesty."

After bowing his head and saluting, Kazuki Yamamoto took out the map he had drawn and handed it to Yoshio Shinozuka: "This is the attack route I drew for Li Yunlong's troops this time, including landmine sites and different positions for eight rounds of shelling."

Shinozuka Yoshio looked down at the map in his hand.

The lines of the map are concise and precise, which shows the deep knowledge of the map maker.

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

"The selection of the opponent's artillery position and the movement route of the blocking troops are just right, almost perfectly isolating the harassment of the artillery position by the troops chasing from Taiyuan City and the airport. The setting of the minefield has also been carefully prepared to completely limit the number of imperial troops. Advantage."

"This Li Yunlong still has two brushes."

"Also, he seems to have planned for my airport and gold for a long time."

Such a detailed position layout not only requires experienced commanders, but it definitely cannot be prepared in a day or two.It must be inspected on the spot and modified according to the actual terrain.

"Humph."

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

The Flying Brigade of the First Army was his precious lump, and it was almost wiped out at once. This reduced the combat effectiveness of the First Army by at least [-]%, and made his killing intent towards Li Yunlong reach its peak.

There was also that ton of gold, which was the 'result' he gave to the base camp, and now that it was gone, the base camp would inevitably scold him.

"General"

Kazuki Yamamoto said:
"I'm afraid it's more than that simple."

"The opponent dispatched an artillery squadron, an infantry squadron, and a cavalry squadron. The total number of people exceeded 500, and they carried thousands of shells and a large number of weapons and ammunition. Such a large number of troops and luggage can pass through Taiyuan silently. surrounding villages and towns."

"That's the weirdest thing."

"Yamamoto-kun is right."

Shinozuka Yoshio narrowed his small eyes under the glasses, and said in a gloomy tone:

"The surrounding areas of Taiyuan are all villages and towns controlled by the imperial army. Since the Kwantung Army squadron was attacked last time, I have expanded the security circle to [-] kilometers around Taiyuan. Almost all villages and towns have set up observation posts and plainclothes patrols. "

"It's hard to imagine how they escaped such dense observation posts and patrols."

One or two people, a dozen people, or even a hundred lightly armed guerrillas can understand through him, but more than five to six hundred people, including a squadron of cavalry, an artillery squadron and thousands of artillery shells, such a huge force It is almost impossible to pass without being discovered.

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

Kazuki Yamamoto said the following words.

"Don't say anything about this beforehand. You can investigate secretly first, and report to me immediately if you find anything."

Yoshio Shinozuka narrowed his eyes, and after a long silence, he changed the topic:

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

Shinozuka Yoshio took out an order from the North China Front Army Command: "In this battle, each unit will use brigades as a scale to wipe out the interior of the opponent's base area, and aim to eliminate the Eighth Route Army and its supporters."

"in addition···"

Yoshio Shinozuka looked at Kazuki Yamamoto: "Your application for combat has been approved by the North China Front Army Command."

Kazuki Yamamoto's eyes suddenly became hot.

His combat application was passed, that is to say, his opportunity to promote special operations has come!
　Dialogue is so hard to write...
