Rise from the sword

Chapter 343 New business

Entering December, Jindi is shrouded in cold, and the ground is covered with a layer of white snow. Looking around, it is snow-white.

Shou County.

Li Yunlong was wearing a big cotton-padded jacket, and stayed in the thick and warm regiment headquarters, which was the former Devils Command, roasting the stove, knocking on peanuts, and listening to Da Biao's report with a relaxed expression.

"So far, our regiment's original expansion plan has been successfully completed."

"Three main battalions, a cavalry battalion, two artillery companies, a transport company, a guard platoon, plus you and Political Commissar Zhao, the total strength of our regiment is exactly 4000 people. By the way, there is also an independent machine infantry company under the cavalry battalion. "

When Zhang Dabiao talked about Jibulian, he always felt very awkward.

It was supposed to be called a motorcycle company, but it was changed to a machine company by the head of the regiment, and no one was allowed to refute it.

It is said to be a company, but it is actually a reinforced platoon. It is mainly equipped with fifteen motorcycles and five general-purpose machine guns. Like the artillery company, it is directly commanded by the regiment headquarters.

"hey-hey···"

"The full name is Mechanized Infantry Company."

Li Yunlong smiled smugly, showed off the new nouns, and then continued to listen.

He still got the term mechanized infantry company from Brother Chen. It is said that it is the future development direction of infantry, using mechanization to enhance mobility and firepower.With a nervous attitude, Li Datuan took it and used it.

"The training of new recruits has also been basically completed, and each unit has initially possessed combat effectiveness. As for the shortage of officers, it has also been filled with the training of officers from the headquarters that came from the brigade headquarters not long ago."

"There is something wrong with Pao Er Company, Wang Chengzhu said..."

Speaking of this, Zhang Dabiao paused before continuing:

"He said, should we build another three artillery companies? His ten 82 mortars in one company are really too many, and this kid can't command them."

At the end, Zhang Dabiao couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth and shook his head slightly.

The past is vivid.

I remember that two years ago, at this time, the Xinyi Regiment received an order to go to Cangyunling to stop the Bantian Regiment. At that time, Zhuzi hated the fact that there were too few cannons and shells in the army.

It's only been two years, and one day, he also disliked that there were too many cannons, and he couldn't command them.

"Can't command?"

Li Yunlong was also taken aback,

There are only two artillery commanders in the regiment, Yan Sheng and Wang Chengzhu.

He also formed two artillery companies.

According to his plan, two 120 mortars, two 82-type infantry guns, and four 82 mortars belonged to Yansheng's first artillery company, and the remaining six [-] mortars belonged to Wang Chengzhu's second artillery company.

In terms of command ability, Yan Sheng, who was born in a professional class and has rich combat experience, is much better than Wang Chengzhu.

However, during the subsequent training, Yan Sheng discovered that a company was equipped with three kinds of main guns, and the performance of each gun was completely different, which seriously affected the command. With a wave of his hand, all the mortars were deployed to Wang Chengzhu's second gun company.

Li Datuan quickly reacted and fell into deep thought.

Indeed, as Zhuzi said, even if it is the same type of cannon, the greater the number, the higher the commanding ability of the commander.

After all, his original plan was to give Zhuzi four cannons, but the situation changed later. In the end, he gave ten cannons to others, and unified command of four cannons and ten cannons, the difference is very big.

Although the more cannons, the stronger the firepower, but if the command is improper and the layout is unreasonable, the firepower of ten cannons will be great, but the possible effect is actually only six, or even four.

After thinking for a moment, Li Yunlong made a decision.

"Form another company?"

He snorted.

Another artillery company, three companies, wouldn't that become a battalion?
This is not impossible.

The problem is, labor and capital, where can I find the commander of the artillery battalion?
Li Yunlong said in an unquestionable tone:

"Why can others command ten guns, but he can't? Tell him, let him study hard, ask Yan Sheng if he doesn't understand anything, and I will allow him to conduct live ammunition training."

"Otherwise, he wouldn't be the artillery company commander."

"Yes."

Zhang Dabiao chuckled and nodded yes.

As an old comrade-in-arms of the Xinyi Regiment, he is very aware of Wang Chengzhu's character. Under the conditions at the time, he became the first gunner of the Xinyi Regiment. He hit the Sakata headquarters with two shots at almost the maximum range, and his competitive spirit was no worse than anyone else. , and is also capable.

As long as it is excited, it will definitely be bloody.

"The fortifications in Shou County have almost been excavated, and the rest is slowly reinforced with coal ash and gravel."

Zhang Dabiao continued.

There is no cement, no steel, but people are wise. The structure of the civil bunker is not strong enough to be bombarded by the little devil's cannon. If you have enough time in Shou County, you can use other methods to make up for it.

Coal ash and crushed stones are made into stone slurry, which is mixed into the civil structure. Although it is not as strong as the devil's reinforced concrete, it is far stronger than a pure civil structure.

"Well, this is not urgent, you can take your time."

Leader Li nodded.

The Pacific War broke out, and the little devil has no time or energy to launch a big raid in the near future.They are eager to attack the south and North China, so they can only launch small-scale raids and gradually erode.

This trick is okay against other places, but I want to deal with Li Yunlong.

Hmph, don't even think about it without a full formation.

The only pity that Captain Li felt was that the devils were powerless to attack, but so was he.

"What's going on in Taiyuan?"

Li Yunlong asked suddenly.

For the sake of secrecy and concealment, Zhang Dabiao and Wang Gensheng were personally responsible for the preparation of shells in Taiyuan in advance, and even led a team to execute them.

"Everything is going well, but the progress is a bit slow."

Zhang Dabiao said:
"We have found the location of the hidden ammunition depot there, and we have started preliminary excavation. Wang Gensheng led the second batch of excavation teams to set off yesterday, and the excavation speed can be further accelerated."

One can imagine the difficulty of preparing the front-line ammunition depot under the eyes of the devils in Taiyuan. It has been almost three months since Li Yunlong came up with the idea, and the independent regiment has initially completed the excavation of the ammunition depot.

"It's okay, don't worry."

"It must be absolutely concealed."

Li Yunlong narrowed his eyes:

"We have been fighting the little devil for almost five years, we can afford to wait."

"Yes."

Zhang Dabiao nodded and left.

After a while, Sun Desheng came in again. This sturdy commander of the cavalry battalion was still holding a book in his hand.

"What are you doing here?"

Li Yunlong said angrily.

Now, seeing Sun Desheng annoys him.

Two years ago, when he brought this guy out from Xinyituan, his educational level was really that low. He didn’t know a few characters in Dou Da. After more than a year of cultural knowledge training in the army, he knew two people today. Words, forget three words tomorrow.

But I didn't expect that it was only two years ago that I was able to study by myself with the book, and it was still a mechanical professional book, and became a cultural learning model in the regiment.

Every time Zhao Gang used this guy to talk about things, to teach him to let Captain Li study hard, and even his own subordinates were inferior, which made Li Yunlong very annoyed, and he also hated Sun Desheng in his heart.

"Captain,"

Sun Desheng ignored the disdainful eyes of his team leader, smiled, squeezed his eyes, and said expectantly: "Is there any new business with Boss Chen recently? It's been three months..."

Regarding this matter, all battalion commanders including Sun Desheng were very curious.

According to previous experience, basically every two months, Boss Chen will come to do business, but it has been three months since the last business, and there seems to be no movement of new business.

Could it be some confidential business?
For example, the last battle where special teams were sent to attack devil pilots?

"New business?"

Li Yunlong glanced at Sun Desheng:

"There really isn't much new business in the near future."

Speaking of this, Li Yunlong also felt a little pity.

After the task of robbing the devil's gold was completed, Brother Chen came over to deliver the price of the business, fifty big mules, and also a lot of gasoline, as well as a large amount of food and other supplies, so that the nearly consumed independent regiment's gasoline inventory was recovered. The supplement also gave Li Yunlong some surplus food.

Otherwise, his 4000 people plus a cavalry battalion ate horse chews, and he also supported the Kong Jie and Ding Wei regiments with more than 100 tons of food. Even if he got Shou County, he would not be able to provide food to support other troops.

But it didn't talk about the next business as before.

"Stop thinking about business."

After finishing speaking, Li Yunlong glared at Sun Desheng: "Train the troops well and prepare for the next raid by the little devils."

He knew very well in his heart that the little devil did not have the strength to mop up now, but it was absolutely impossible to let the army develop like this. When the little devil freed up his hands and stocked up his strength, he would inevitably launch a large-scale mopping up.

After Sun Desheng left, Li Yunlong also murmured in his heart:

"When will the next business start..."

·······
Taiyuan.

Inside the headquarters.

Shinozuka Yoshio sat on the chair, looked at the telegram in his hand, he sighed deeply, full of powerlessness.

"General..."

Aside, Kazuki Yamamoto opened his mouth, but was unable to speak.

On the Shanxi side, which is the area under the jurisdiction of the First Army, the law and order is very bad. Although the imperial occupation area, even the northeast side, has poor law and order, the resistance of the Republic of China has never stopped, but in general.

The area under the jurisdiction of the First Army has the worst law and order in all areas.

Because there is Li Yunlong.

Although some of the things this person did were not within the jurisdiction of the First Army, they still affected the First Army in the end. After all, they failed to eliminate Li Yunlong. This was the core issue.

In particular, Commander Shinozuka was questioned by many parties.

The failure of the attack on the Eighth Route Army arsenal, almost two brigades, and the loss of a large number of heavy weapons made the battalion finally make up its mind and dispatched a new middle future as the new commander of the First Army, and General Shinozuka will enter the reserve service as a military officer. Councilor.

"I am not familiar with Lieutenant General Yansong Ichikuma, but I will greet him and let him continue to support your special operations..."

Yoshio Shinozuka glanced at Kazuki Yamamoto.

Iwamatsu Kazuma is the new commander who will take over the First Army this time.

"Hi, thank you General."

Yamamoto's tone was not at all happy.

How could a new commander of the First Army support his special operations?

Inside the Imperial Army, the vast majority of conservative officers scoffed at his special operations, and Lieutenant General Iwamatsu Ichikuma also belonged to the conservative faction.

Although, Lieutenant General Yansong is really good at it, especially in public security warfare.

"You really can't stay?"

Yamamoto asked.

"This is a direct order from the base camp, and General Gangcun can't do anything about it."

Shinozuka Yoshio sighed.

Yamamoto fell silent for a moment.

"Yamamoto-kun need not be depressed, no matter where you are, you can serve the empire."

After Shinozuka Yoshio said a scene, he cheered up and entered the topic:
"After Lieutenant General Yansong arrives, you must remind him to treat Li Yunlong with care, not to underestimate the enemy, and to prepare large-caliber siege mortars before launching an attack on Shou County."

"At least the size of a super-manufactured wing is required, which is the lowest. It is best to send a brigade to deal with Li Yunlong and attack Shou County."

"Shou County, run by this person, is definitely not easy to conquer."

"And the investigation of that Chen Fan must not be lax."

Even if he was going to be driven away, Yoshio Shinozuka was still thinking about destroying Li Yunlong, which can be said to be bewildered.

But I have to say that after being tortured by Li Yunlong for so long, Shinozuka Yoshio knew Li Yunlong very well, even if he didn't have enough information, he guessed that Li Yunlong would have a street fight with the devils in Shou County.

"Hi."

Kazuki Yamamoto bowed his head and said yes.

Then, Yamamoto couldn't help but said again:

"General, is there really no way to stay?"

To be able to become a lieutenant general and the commander of the First Army, Yoshio Shinozuka's connections can be imagined, and there must be someone who can talk to the base camp, and the failure of the attack on the arsenal this time does not lie with General Shinozuka.

"Go down..."

Shinozuka Yoshio rubbed his head with one hand, and waved the other hand. There was a sense of relief in his tone: "It's impossible, this is an order from the base camp."

It's fine if you leave, so you don't have to worry about Li Yunlong's affairs. If you can't hear the name and news of this person, you won't have a headache, right?
Let others have a headache for Li Yunlong.

Thinking of this, Shinozuka Yoshio suddenly felt not so sad, and even a little looking forward to it.

Of course, this is because he really has no choice. He has used all the contacts he can use. Even General Gangcun has spoken for him, but the headquarters is determined to replace him to show that he attaches great importance to the security war in North China.

I want him to continue serving as the commander of the First Army, unless Iwamatsu Kazuma dies suddenly.As long as this person dies, the base camp can't find a suitable candidate for the commander of the first army in a short time, so he has to continue to let him take the position.

Although there are many generals in the empire, there are not many who can serve as an army commander and can be mobilized.

······
at the same time.

Somewhere an unnamed mountain.

Brush... The system panel will pop up automatically.

"New business came out?"

Chen Fan, who was already used to the urine of the system, looked directly at it.

"Reward: Iwamatsu Kazuma"

"Before Iwamatsu Kazuma arrives in Taiyuan, kill this person."

"Price..."

"Special Reward:..."

　Yesterday I planned to lie down and write for a while, and then it would be dawn when I woke up...
