Rise from the sword

Chapter 397 Target: Taiyuan!
"Since we plan to build roads this time to connect the respective bases of the three regiments, and rely on favorable terrain to establish a solid rear base, then..."

Zhao Gang looked at Li Yunlong with the look of watching the play:

"Should we support the other two regiments in terms of supplies from now on?"

"By the way, invite Commander Ding and Commander Kong to discuss the details?"

Zhao Gang has always thought that these three people are very interesting.

The three regiment leaders came from the same infantry squad, and they all became regiment leaders in the same period, or even in the same year, and they are stationed close to each other. This unique experience makes the relationship between the three very interesting.

When helping, you will not hold back your hands, and when cheating the other party, you will never hold your hands back.

Fighting brothers, brothers who settle accounts clearly, and those who cheat are brothers. These truths were vividly interpreted by the three of them.

Three people, meeting is a big show, and two people are just as exciting.He watched it with great interest, just like the last time Kong Jie came to ask for food with dozens of bottles of wine, Zhao Gang still has a good aftertaste.

This is much more interesting than watching operas or even watching movies.

He was looking forward to seeing the three of them this time.

"Looking for them to discuss?"

"No need, these two dogs will come to the door by themselves in a few days, and they will also bring a meeting gift."

Li Yunlong sneered:

"It's fine when they come to visit, why bother to treat guests to the door, making you feel uncomfortable?"

"Hahaha······"

Zhao Gang burst out laughing.

The two stopped chatting, and Li Yunlong went to the training ground to organize the training of the troops, while Zhao Gang began to think about how to find out these seven spies.

But when he turned to the daily business after this price increase, which is to destroy the devil's cars, rails, planes, etc., kill the devil's technical arms to provide supplies, and when he gave food, he silently calculated for a moment, the corner of his mouth twitched, and couldn't help but suck. Take a breath:
"This support is a bit big."

"According to this price tag, the independent group really let go of their hands and feet, and started with a minimum of [-] tons of grain a month."

Speechless for a long time, finally, Commissar Zhao cursed and complained:
"This business is done, and the labor and management are a little bit reluctant to leave the devil."

······
When you are busy, time always flies by quickly.

Li Yunlong is busy training and educating the troops, leading the troops to train every day to cultivate the spirit of the troops.

The rest of the time is spent planning his base plan.

The expansion of the horse road between the three regiments, the construction of the fortification bunker near Zhaojiayu, the location of the warehouse, and the locations of the battalions and companies of the independent regiment were determined on the map first, and then went to the field for inspection, and finally made a decision.

Although Lao Li has no professional technical knowledge, his profound life and combat experience, as well as excellent and detailed maps, coupled with on-the-spot investigations, enabled Li Yunlong to complete these tasks.

Of course, for the road from Zhaojiayu to Pan County, Captain Li himself can't do it. The distance of [-] kilometers and the complicated mountainous terrain have to wait for the professionals from the headquarters to arrive.

During this period, he also agreed to Yansheng's request for [-] rounds of live ammunition.

After five days.

"Captain."

Zhang Dabiao walked in, holding a form in his hand, a white and smooth paper, indicating that it was obtained by Li Yunlong from Chen Fan: "The result has already come out."

"Oh?"

Li Yunlong's eyes lit up.

It has been three years since he took over the Independence Regiment. Because of good weapons and equipment and sufficient food, the survival rate of the veterans of the Independence Regiment is very high, and the number of officers and cadres who have come out by themselves is also increasing. This is what he was able to directly expand to 5000 people before. main reason.

Not long ago, he asked Zhang Dabiao to take the third battalion commander and a group of company commanders to conduct a thorough investigation of the whole regiment, including the squad leader, and veterans who have been in the regiment for more than one year. Those who can serve as grassroots platoon-level cadres, or even company-level cadres.

This assessment is mainly about the level of knowledge and culture, combat command, fortification construction, order execution, and handling of unexpected situations.

"I conducted a survey on all the veterans who came out of Shou County from our regiment for more than one year."

Zhang Dabiao did not open the seized folder in his hand, and said directly: "Including the battalion and company commanders, there are 249 veterans who have been over three years old, 673 veterans who have been over two years old, and 1320 veterans who have been between one and two years old." indivual."

"Not bad, hehehe..."

The visible increase in the number of people made Li Yunlong very satisfied.

For more than three years, 219 of the fighters who were there when he first took over the Independence Regiment survived, as many as one-third.Veterans of more than two years, that is, the first year, the equipment gradually improved this year, but there were many problems, the shortage of grassroots officers and cadres, and the influx of a large number of recruits, resulting in relatively large losses, only less than half.In the second year, it was more than half.

"However, regiment commander, most of these veterans, especially those with more than two years, are in the transport team, cavalry battalion, and artillery battalion. Among the three main battalions, only about 150 can be promoted to company and platoon leader. training for a while."

"Haha, it's not bad."

Li Yunlong is still very satisfied.

Those veterans were deliberately left by him in the transport team and cavalry battalion. These guys with a high level of cultural knowledge are the key to the future development plan of the independent regiment. Otherwise, he would not be thinking about the officers and cadres at the headquarters.

At this time, Yansheng walked in:

"The artillery company is ready and ready to go at any time."

"it is good."

Li Yunlong's tone was serious: "Have you read the battle plan?"

"seen it already."

Yan Sheng nodded, his eyes couldn't hide his excitement. .

"Okay then, let's go tonight."

Li Yunlong gave the order.

"Wang Gensheng will act with you."

"Yes."

Yansheng raised his hand and gave a military salute.

That night, Wang Gensheng led a special team and Yansheng led a battery of guns, and set off again towards Taiyuan.

······
the same day.

The new regiment is stationed.

"Captain."

The first battalion leader Chenghe walked into the regiment headquarters:
"Recently, through the cooperation with the New Second Regiment, we instigated a puppet army commander and got a definite message from him. A week later, the Pan County devil's transport team will all set off to Ping'an County to transport supplies."

"However, this time the transport team has a strong guard force. It is a newly transferred brigade of more than 900 people equipped with two mountain cannons. It seems that this brigade plans to stay in Ping'an County for a long time."

"Stationed in Ping'an County for a long time."

Ding Wei found a map, looked at the location of Ping'an County, and immediately understood:
"Heh, the devils dropped troops to guard against Li Yunlong's independent regiment. Otherwise, with the little devils' strength in Ping'an County, the county would belong to Li Yunlong if it wasn't that day."

"Guards, get your horses ready, and follow me to the New Second Regiment."

Then Ding Wei put away the information and walked out.

······
Also on the same day.

Taiyuan.

Kazuki Yamamoto walked into the headquarters of the First Army and saw not only the commander Yoshimoto Sadaichi, but also a new officer. Judging from the military uniform, this person was also a senior officer, but Yamamoto had never seen this person.

"Yamamoto-kun."

Yoshimoto Sadaichi pointed to the newly arrived Devil Chief and introduced:

"This is the person in charge sent by North China Special Hi-Tech, Colonel Kazuo Miyazaki."

Head of Special Hi-Tech...
Yamamoto's heart moved. In the secret letter given to him by General Doi Madoka, this person knew five ordinary intelligence personnel, but he didn't know about the two senior intelligence personnel. In other words... Yamamoto felt vigilant in his heart , take the initiative to say hello:

"Master Miyazaki."

"Master Yamamoto, I have admired your name for a long time."

Miyazaki, who was doing intelligence, looked at Yamamoto first, his eyes flashed, and he responded with a smile.

"The two main tasks are to fully investigate the Eighth Route Army, especially Li Yunlong's department, and provide intelligence support for the First Army to destroy the Eighth Route Army. Please cooperate sincerely."

Yoshimoto Sadaichi said.

"Hi."

The two chiefs bowed their heads one after another.

"so far."

"Taiyuan Airport will be repaired in about a week. The domestic replenishment of fighter jets and fuel and other materials have also arrived, and the losses of the garrison troops in various counties have also been replenished."

Yoshimoto Teiichi first talked about the situation of the First Army.

Yamamoto bowed his head in silence.

He had figured out the new commander's temper, he was arbitrary, and he didn't like to discuss, but Yamamoto was still a little surprised that in such a short time, the loss of the big sweep was replenished, and even the new planes were in place.

It seems that the superiors attach great importance to this new commander.

Then, Yoshimoto Sadaichi spoke out his battle plan in a leisurely tone:
"Judging from the results of previous raids."

"It is almost impossible for the imperial army to eliminate the main force of the Eighth Route Army through military operations. They have a large number of supporters in the base area, providing them with supplies and supplementary soldiers. The complicated terrain also makes it impossible for the imperial army to encircle them."

"And the blockade of the blockhouse is no longer realistic. They already have a certain ability to attack, and the blockhouse will only become a target."

"Then, next, we need to change the combat plan, from blocking the base area and eliminating the main force of the Eighth Route Army to destabilizing its base area and reducing or even eliminating its supporters."

Speaking of this, the corners of Yoshimoto Sadaichi's mouth slightly curled up:

"Order."

"The troops stationed in the counties have strengthened the blockade of roads and prohibited any caravans from entering the enemy's base areas. Once found, they will be arrested immediately and confiscated supplies, and regular village clearing operations will be launched to collect food and destroy farmland and agricultural production facilities. Avoid unnecessary military operations."

"The air force will provide information for the counties' garrison operations to clear the countryside."

"Hi."

The combat staff officer on the side quickly bowed his head and began to draft orders.

Finally, Yoshimoto glanced at Kazuki Yamamoto and Kazuo Miyazaki, and sneered:
"There is an old Chinese saying, "If you hit a snake, you hit seven inches. The base area of ​​the Eighth Route Army is an agricultural society, and the main force comes from agricultural production. Then we will destroy its foundation—agriculture."

"Hi."

Yamamoto and Miyazaki bowed their heads.

The two then left the headquarters of the First Army and walked towards their respective offices.

"Yamamoto-kun, has your secret service team taken any action recently?"

Miyazaki asked suddenly.

"There are no combat missions in the near future."

Yamamoto looked at Miyazaki strangely, it was the first time he met someone who asked him about his secret service team.

"I have a major underling. He graduated from the Imperial Military Academy last year and is very interested in special operations. I wonder if he can train under Yamamoto-kun for a period of time?" Miyazaki said.

"welcome."

Put a person into my secret service team, what does this guy want to do? ····Naturally, Yamamoto would not believe this nonsense, but responded with a smile on his face.

The two didn't chat much, and went back to their respective residences.

"Your Majesty."

When Miyazaki returned to the station, a major officer came in;
"The fighter parts that appeared on the black market in Taiyuan, neither the seller nor the seller has any clues. According to the known information, only members of the secret service team suspected of Yamamoto Yamamoto participated in the reselling of these materials."

"Ah."

Miyazaki nodded expressionlessly, eyes gloomy.

After he came to Taiyuan, during a daily investigation, he discovered that the black market in Taiyuan actually had imperial aircraft parts in circulation, and even complete fighter engines, brand new and never used.

Further investigation was carried out immediately, but both the seller and the seller were very vigilant and did not leave the slightest trace.

There is only one clue that someone in Yamamoto's secret service team was involved in the material reselling, but the identity is also unknown.

"In the next period of time, you will enter the Yamamoto Special Team to investigate this matter."

Miyazaki warned:
"Master Yamamoto has agreed, but I didn't tell the reason. I just said that you are interested in special operations and you should be careful to act secretly."

"Hi."

The major of the intelligence department bowed his head and said yes.
