Rise from the sword

Chapter 400 I have a big plan!

The three of Ding Kongli and Li walked all the way to the independent regiment warehouse east of Zhao Jiayu.

At this time, it had been more than a month since the Independence Regiment retreated to Zhaojiayu. During this period, Li Yunlong organized manpower, dug out a warehouse in the east of Zhaojiayu, and received all the supplies delivered by Chen Fan.

The [-] tons of grain promised to the brigade headquarters and the headquarters have all been transported away. After the headquarters transportation team joined and mobilized several main regiments to transport the grain, the transportation capacity has greatly increased and the transportation speed has been significantly accelerated.

See the world?
What do you mean?
Following behind Li Yunlong, Ding Wei and Kong Jie thought about what Li Yunlong said just now.

Could it be that there are some new weapons, deliberately showing off?
Otherwise, what else can we do?

The two of them immediately turned dark.

Nowadays, the weapons and equipment of the independent regiment are so luxurious that the devils drool when they saw them. It is conceivable that the ones that can make Li Yunlong show off on purpose must be super good ones. Yes, it feels quite uncomfortable.

"This dog thing..."

Ding Wei's eyes twitched, cursing in his heart.

If he hadn't asked Li Yunlong this time, he would have turned his head and left, not giving this group a chance to show off.

Walking all the way to the warehouse, Li Yunlong also noticed the expressions on the faces of the two of them, and he naturally understood the reason. After he chuckled, he suddenly asked, "Are all the new officers that the brigade has added to you in place?"

"arrive."

Speaking of this matter, both Ding Wei and Kong Jie fell into deep thought.

The first batch of grassroots officers and cadres after the brigade headquarter's big raid were not assigned to the main force regiment. Instead, two of them were directly handed over, and a group of as many as [-] were returned, which made the two of them wonder for a while what their superiors meant by this. .

They are the backbone regiments, whose main task is to stabilize the base area, solve the equipment by themselves, and supplement the personnel at the higher level. Although the new first regiment and the new second regiment are relatively strong, stronger than some of the main regiments, they are also the backbone regiments in terms of sequence.It shouldn't be given priority to replenish them. With so many main groups, that one is not screaming for grassroots cadres to replenish.

They are not like Li Yunlong, who can provide a lot of supplies to other troops.

"Did you hear anything?"

Ding Wei and Kong Jie looked at Li Yunlong.

The two knew very well that the higher authorities placed their two regiment bases directly next to Li Yunlong, so they must be allowed to mix with Li Yunlong, conduct a raid, sneak attack, etc., seize some weapons, equipment and supplies, and strengthen the strength of the troops.

But there is no need to leave one kind of main regiment and other bases alone, and add forty new officers to each of their two regiments at once to speed up the recovery of the new first regiment and the new second regiment.

This is obviously excessive force and completely unnecessary.

The little devil's mopping up has just ended, so there will definitely not be any major military operations in the near future. It is also winter, spring plowing is still far away, and the devil's clearing of the countryside is still several months away.

Could it be that the two of them followed Li Yunlong to take the initiative to attack, such as attacking another county?

However, after Li Yunlong came, the devils in the surrounding counties strengthened their defense forces, especially in Ping'an County and Pan County near Zhao Jiayu.

The nearby county towns are all important traffic lines for devils,

"Wind sound?"

Li Yunlong shook his head: "No, the devils don't go out in this winter, and all the troops are repairing, so what's the rumor?"

As he spoke, Li Yunlong glanced at Ding Wei in surprise.

He wanted to build a solid rear base, the higher-ups had guessed it all, and he thought Ding Wei could guess a little bit.

It's not hard to guess.

The huge losses of the various troops in the sweepings show that the main problem of the current troops is the lack of a stable rear base. Even in the core bases, the army of devils will come and go whenever they want, and there is no way to develop stably.After the Independence Regiment defended Shou County for a month and resisted the attack of a [-]-strong army of devils, it proved that they had the strength to keep the devils out of the door, so they would naturally think about developing in this direction.

"Then why are you asking this?"

Kong Jie looked at Li Yunlong suspiciously.

Ding Wei, on the other hand, suddenly fell into deep thought.

At this time, several people had arrived at the warehouse of the Independent Regiment, which was a large cave dwelling on the mountain wall. The remote location was enough to keep it secret, and the steep hillside could also prevent the bombing of devils.

There are two platoons of guards outside the warehouse.

The door was opened, and Li Yunlong beckoned the two to enter the warehouse. The light from outside shone in along the door, allowing Kong Jie and Ding Wei to see the situation inside the warehouse clearly.

The warehouse is very large, supported by wooden beams on the edges and in the middle, with weapons and ammunition boxes placed on rows of wooden racks, and in the middle of the warehouse, there are two piles of equipment and ammunition. The most conspicuous one is the four-door 120 heavy-duty mortar in the front row. Cannons, two in each pile.

"This is····"

No new guy was found, but he saw two piles of the same equipment and ammunition. After thinking for a while, Ding Wei's pupils shrank suddenly, and he looked at Li Yunlong in disbelief.

Is it...
Kong Jie also realized something, and looked at Li Yunlong in disbelief.

"Hey hey..."

The shocked eyes of the two made Li Yunlong feel very comfortable. He smiled, walked triumphantly in front of the two piles of equipment, and patted the thick barrel:
"Each pile has two 120 heavy mortars, three 82 mortars, each with a thousand rounds of shells, plus a hundred Bren machine guns, a thousand Mauser rifles, 30 Fire the bullet."

"One of you is a pile, and there are [-] tons of grain. When the time comes, send someone to transport it back."

"What do you want?"

Thinking about it, the heavy mortars, the neat Bren machine guns, and the Mauser rifles that had been drooling for a long time, not only failed to make Ding and Kong two happy, but they were immediately on high alert.

When something goes wrong, there must be a demon. Li Yunlong's weird behavior made the two of them stand up.

"What do I want to do?"

Li Yunlong held his head high: "What do you think is the biggest problem with our army during the previous sweep?"

"What's the biggest problem?"

When Kong Jie was still puzzled, Ding Wei narrowed his eyes and quickly replied:
"You want to build a solid base, one that can keep devils out of the gate?"

The most painful thing for Ding Wei during the previous raids by the devils was that during the transfer that lasted more than a month, there was no stable rear to provide continuous supplies. Obviously there were supplies, but because of the blockade of the devils, the supplies could not be supplied, and the troops themselves The luggage that can be carried is extremely limited, making it impossible to fight with hands and feet in battle.

"Establish a solid base?"

Kong Jie also widened his eyes:
"how can that be?"

A solid base, everyone wants to dream, but here is North China, where 10,000+ devil soldiers are stationed, and there are nearly a million devil soldiers in the whole country. Even the Taihang base where the arsenal is located is far from being called Stable, all troops, agencies, and factories are still ready to retreat and transfer at any time.

"Why is it impossible?"

"As long as we have enough firepower, there will be no problem."

Li Yunlong picked up a 120mm mortar shell, held it with both hands and weighed it: "With this thing, how much can your strength improve?"

Ding Wei approached and touched a door of 120 heavy pressure, and his tone was a little excited:
"With this batch of equipment, my new regiment will be able to fight against any devil brigade in positional warfare. With a solid position, I can easily block the attack of a full regiment of devils."

"Me too." Kong Jie continued.

"That's fine."

Li Yunlong immediately smiled:
"In another three months, my independent regiment will be able to recover its strength and even improve to a higher level..."

hiss··

Hearing this, Ding Wei suddenly took a breath.

At this moment, he suddenly understood what the superior wanted to give priority to adding officers to them. It was to let the two regiments and Li Yunlong work together to try to establish a solid base.

Ding Wei thought for a moment and said:
"Don't say it, it's really possible."

As he said that, Ding Wei actually took out a map of the surrounding areas of northwest Shanxi and spread it on the ground. With the light coming in from the door, he pointed to the map and said, "Look, our three regiments are arranged in the shape of a character. In the middle, Kong Jie and I are on the two wings."

"Our three regiments are based in a mountainous area with a radius of nearly [-] miles. They already have sufficient depth. The terrain here is complex, with many mountains and canyons. As long as we occupy the commanding heights and set up a solid position, then..."

"With the strength of our three regiments, even if the little devil sends a full regiment over, they won't be able to penetrate our base..."

A full-staffed division of devils generally has 8000 people.

As long as it cannot be penetrated, there is a safe zone, and it can be developed into a stable base, which can continue to provide logistical supplies for combat troops as a rear area.

"There's a problem with that, though."

Ding Wei then frowned: "The base area is too large, our troops are not mobile enough, and there may be problems with troop support."

"Hey hey..."

Li Yunlong chuckled: "Otherwise, why would I ask you to come?"

"What are you going to do?"

Ding and Kong looked at Li Yunlong.

"I have a big plan!"

Li Yunlong walked to Ding Wei's map on the ground.

·····
Taiyuan.

Inside the First Army Headquarters.

"Yamamoto-kun, how is the situation?"

Yoshimoto Sadaichi sat on the commander's chair with a leisurely tone, without any sign of anger.

He is just a senior commander, he will die when he dies. As long as autumn comes, he is confident that the Eighth Route Army in Shanxi will be completely collapsed in one year, and the mission of the "North China Imperial Military Station Base" in the headquarters will be completed.

No one can stop it, no matter it is a secret spy or a foreign mysterious force.

"Master Miyazaki has been broken, and the identity of the assailant is unknown."

Yamamoto gave a brief answer, and then added:

"Although there is no evidence, there is a high probability that the action is the special forces under Li Yunlong."

"Oh?"

Yoshimoto Teichi became slightly interested:
"tell me your opinion!"

As far as he knew, this Li Yunlong, and the special forces under his command, once made Yoshio Shinozuka flustered, which was also the main reason for Shinozuka's resignation.Although he looked down on a conservative officer like Xiaozuka, he also attached great importance to this Li Yunlong. After he took office, he strengthened the troops around Li Yunlong.

"Master Miyazaki was attacked, and the method was exactly the same as Li Yunlong's before, with a shadow of special operations."

Speaking of special operations, Yamamoto's tone slightly increased:
"The assailants observed Miyazaki's movements in advance, and then set up an ambush 500 meters outside the east gate. Moreover, in order to demonstrate their superb shooting skills, the assailants deliberately aimed at Miyazaki's head."

Yamamoto added at the end:
"Generally speaking, long-range sniper kills mostly aim at the chest position, and the head is relatively small, which requires higher shooting skills."

"So, how to prevent similar things from happening?"

Gibbon asked next.

He is not interested in special operations. This kind of small fight has no effect on the situation. It is like an ant's struggle, which can only make people irritated.

"Avoid overly regular behavior and be more vigilant."

Yamamoto lowered his head and said, "Master Miyazaki's actions are too regular. He goes out from the east gate every day, and the time is fixed, and the route is fixed, which gives the attacker a chance."

"Ah."

Gibbon nodded:
"Just do as you say."

"Also, it's up to you to investigate this matter, and you must catch the murderer."

Yoshimoto took a deep look at Yamamoto. Just last night, Miyazaki met him at night and reported to him that some members of Yamamoto's secret service were reselling imperial property.

And today, Miyazaki died.

　Suddenly, I realized that I had made a fatal mistake, and the conflict hadn't started yet...!
