Rise from the sword

Chapter 96 Trouble and Countermeasures

"Captain."

"Our plan to expand the independent regiment to 500 people may have to be delayed first."

At the regimental headquarters, Zhang Dabiao walked in with a dilapidated folder and said to Li Yunlong with a wry smile.

"what happened?"

Li Yunlong frowned: "Have you encountered any problems?"

He looked at Zhang Dabiao with doubts on his face.

Weapons and ammunition are not a problem, and now the regiment has a stock of 500 people, which is completely sufficient.

The basic regiment can expand its enrollment at will, and is not limited by the number and size. This is the policy set at the beginning. As long as the supply of weapons and ammunition is sufficient, each regiment is free to do so, so the policy is not a problem.

Is it staff?
But didn't Kong Jie say that the people around him were enthusiastic about joining the army?Moreover, there are a large number of village protection teams and anti-Japanese self-defense teams in the nearby villages. Wouldn’t it be enough to directly incorporate these people into the organization for unified training?
Zhang Dabiao handed the broken folder in his hand to Li Yunlong and explained:
"Weapons are enough."

"Soldiers are not a problem, and there is no need to recruit them. There are more than 1000 anti-Japanese teams in the villages nearby who want to be incorporated into our independent regiment. After the attack on Yangquan, there are still a large number of people who want to join our independent regiment. group."

"The problem is, we don't have enough food for the group..."

Finally, Zhang Dabiao sighed fiercely.

"food?"

Li Yunlong was stunned, and his tone became even more puzzled: "What's going on?"

It stands to reason that the Independent Regiment, as a basic regiment established nearly a year ago, has a militia team of at least 1000 people around it, and the food in the regiment should not be enough to support 500 people.

The Eighth Route Army lacked food, and this problem has always existed.

But as a force with a well-organized structure, it is impossible to look at problems without solving them.

By reclaiming wasteland, buying high-quality grain and planting grain, raising funds to buy grain, intending to seize the enemy's grain, and with the support of the people, the army's original lack of grain has been gradually improving.

Especially since the beginning of 38, a large number of basic groups have been formed to be responsible for consolidating base areas, contacting and forming anti-Japanese teams, and organized expansion of grain planting, and grain production has increased significantly.

Although the troops are not well fed now, they are definitely not going to be hungry.

For example, his new regiment has not only formed a main force of more than 500 people, but also has 2000 unemployed militiamen in the surrounding areas. Not only can they support themselves, but they can also hand over a large amount of food to the brigade and division headquarters every year.

Could it be that Kong Er Lengzi is such a waste?

"Last year, Yangcun was swept away by devils. At that time, the independent regiment was forced to move. These devils destroyed a lot of fields near Yangcun. This year's grain production has dropped significantly, so..."

Zhang Dabiao sighed and explained.

"Little devil..."

Li Yunlong's eyes flashed fiercely, but he didn't continue to say anything.

The little devil burns the grain and destroys the fields, and wants to completely destroy the base area, which is an old method.

But this move was exactly seven inches, and the Eighth Route Army had no effective way to do it.

In order to prevent the devils from destroying the bases and fields, the devils' troops must be blocked and outside the bases.

But in frontal positional battles, even if a good positional bunker is built, even if the strength is superior, it may be able to persist in a short time, but after a long time, when the devil reinforcements or heavy weapons arrive, there is absolutely no chance of winning.

Every time they faced the encirclement and suppression of the devils, the Eighth Route Army could only seek mobile warfare. The large troops transferred the troops involved in the devils, looking for opportunities to ambush the enemy's small units or supply troops, drag the enemy down, consume their materials and supplies, and force the enemy to retreat.

But in this way, if the devil wants to destroy the fields and burn the grain, it is naturally easy.

Li Yunlong paused and asked:
"How much troop consumption can our regiment's food support now?"

"About 500 people, we'd better keep the size of the regular troops at 300, [-]."

Zhang Dabiao said: "Our regiment is organizing intensive training, which consumes a lot of food, and in the previous assault company operations, I found that those big mules must be given a little good feed to eat at ordinary times, otherwise once they march with a heavy load, they will easily collapse. ."

"Big Mule..."

Li Yunlong nodded, smiled and said to Zhang Dabiao: "Okay, let's expand to 300 people first, and you will be in charge of organization and training."

If you have a good subordinate who is good at taste and can do things, you can directly issue the general order, and leave the rest to the subordinate to complete it, which can save a lot of effort and make it a lot easier.

This is also the main reason why he must bring Zhang Dabiao here.

Subsequently, Li Yunlong continued:

"As for the specific organization, the people who came back from the assault company, combined with the soldiers of the original second battalion, added some new recruits to form a battalion, and the other two battalions were also appropriately expanded to control the number of people, and one veteran led a new recruit. The fastest formation of combat effectiveness will not reduce the combat effectiveness of the troops."

"Yes!"

Zhang Dabiao entered a military salute and left to turn around and go to the clerk.

"food····"

"This is a big problem!"

After Zhang Dabiao left, Li Yunlong tapped the table with his fingers, took out the tin communicator with a big round button and a big red light in his pocket, and placed it on the table. After lighting a cigarette, he quietly thought about solving the problem of food. solution to the problem.

"Brother Chen Fan said that he can get some meat, but he can't solve the main food problem for the time being, so you don't have to think about asking him for help."

"Go buy food, we don't have any money!"

"Expanding wasteland reclamation and planting food is too slow to say, and it will be destroyed by devils."

"It's not easy for the people nearby to live, so I can't just think about their support..."

"Then, either go to the headquarters to get some, or go to the devil or the two devils to get some..."

"I'm going to the headquarters now to ask for food, I'm afraid I'll be beaten..."

"so···"

Thinking of this, Li Yunlong took out the atlas, spread it out on the table, looked at the ghost-level second ghost stronghold near Yangcun marked on it, squinted and scanned one by one...
In the quiet dilapidated conference room of the regiment, with the gradually burning cigarette in his hand, Li Yunlong's eyes gradually deepened...
······
"Captain"

"This is the current number of weapons and ammunition in our regiment."

Just as Li Yunlong was planning his food business, Wang Gensheng walked in.

"Why did you count this? How did Zhang Dabiao count the grain?"

Looking at Wang Gensheng who entered the door, Li Yunlong was a little surprised.

He had asked Zhang Dabiao to count weapons and ammunition, and Wang Gensheng to count food. How did these two turn around?

"The food information was collected by me, but it was taken by Zhang Dabiao. He left it behind."

Wang Gensheng responded: "I was building a warehouse with a platoon of soldiers to store sugar, and I didn't have time to deliver it to you."

Hearing the sugar, Li Yunlong suddenly thought of something.

"The brigade still doesn't know we have sugar, right?"

He remembered that when the brigade came before, there was no mention of sugar, and Kong Jie's list didn't contain sugar, and Staff Officer Mo didn't mention sugar when he left with the transport team.

This made him suddenly have an idea.

Is it...
Li Yunlong looked at Wang Gensheng.

"hey-hey····"

Wang Gensheng touched his head and said with a smile: "I saw the brigade coming, so I temporarily put these sugars on the mountain outside. Anyway, the packaging is waterproof. The weather has been clear recently, and it's fine to leave it outside. I will wait for the brigade transportation team to leave. I'll bring it in."

After following Li Yunlong for a long time, he naturally learned something...
"Ha ha·····"

Li Yunlong laughed: "Okay, this time you did a good job!"

Then, he continued: "Leave two tons of these sugars for the regiment, and pull the other three tons into the yard, put them on a transport carriage, and I will take them to the headquarters."

"Yes."

Wan Gensheng nodded and continued: "Captain, you'd better go to the quilt factory at the headquarters to get some military uniforms. This time the army is expanding, our uniforms are not enough. The eight hundred pieces you brought before are only three hundred left. thing."

Wang Gensheng clearly understood the virtues of his own regiment leader.

The granulated sugar is sent to headquarters, and it's bound to come back with something.

Free delivery?
It is absolutely impossible.

"it is good!"

Li Yunlong smiled: "Look at me and get [-] pieces!"

"By the way, head, you won't have anything to do this time..."

Wang Gensheng asked worriedly.

Sending troops to attack Guizi Army Station [-] miles away, and he also took two battalions to attack the north of Yangquan [-] miles away to cover the retreat of the commandos. This behavior is completely a serious violation of discipline.

Speaking of which, it was even more serious than Cangyunling last time.

Although the results of this battle were remarkable, three tons of medicine wiped out hundreds of devils, but their own losses were not small. The attrition of more than 100 people is not small for the independent regiment with only 900 regular combat troops.

Are you saying that the last time the result was not big enough?He fought against the Sakata United team and killed the leader of the Sakata United team, but he was not dismissed in the end.

Therefore, Wang Gensheng was worried that his superiors would dismiss the head of the regiment as he did last time?

"Hahaha····"

Li Yunlong grinned and said confidently, "It's okay this time."

"Really, there will be no more accidents!"

Wang Gensheng expressed some disbelief.

You said the same thing after Cang Yunling last time, but in the end you went to the quilt factory to be the factory manager...
"Haha, don't worry, I'm still the head of the independent regiment, this will never change."

Maybe there will be punishment later, but the position of the head of the regiment is definitely preserved.

Li Yunlong confirmed this in his heart.

Since the brigade has received weapons and ammunition, and the headquarters has not yet issued an order, Li Yunlong has basically concluded that his current incident must have passed.

At most, it's just a warning after the fact.

Seeing that Wang Gensheng was still a little worried, Li Yunlong waved his hand and changed the subject

"I'll give you a task after you get the sugar thing done."

Li Yunlong greeted Wang Gensheng to approach, pointed to the map on the table and continued: "Here, take a few people..."
