Two days later, Han Yang came to report to Yang Yuanshan:

"Commander, the Rapid Infantry Battalion, the First Artillery Battalion, the First Infantry Battalion, the Second Infantry Battalion, the Guard Battalion, the Tank Battalion, and the First Company of the Supply Battalion are all ready. We can set off."

Yang Yuanshan nodded, but did not give the order immediately:
"The monk's special operations team hasn't come back yet. I want to wait for them one more night."

"Captain, there's no need to wait, right?
The monks have a radio, so why not just send them a telegram and ask them to catch up slowly from behind?
As for reconnaissance and clearing the way, we can let the Guard Battalion's reconnaissance company go!"

Han Yang was a little impatient and wanted to deal with the Japanese in Ji Zhong.

The Japanese soldiers in Jin have been disciplined and become obedient. Now they dare not even get under the noses of the Special Forces Regiment.

It's so boring.

He has completely disdained these cowards.

"The monks are familiar with the roads in the east and are more suitable than the reconnaissance company.

The most important purpose of our going east this time is not to attack the large groups of Japanese invaders, but to rebuild the base and reorganize the local troops.

So I don’t want to march in a swaggering manner and alarm the Japanese, so that they will immediately send a few divisions to surround us.”

Yang Yuanshan shook his head and explained.

What he thought was that after arriving in Hebei Province, he would first recruit soldiers, collect food, establish a base, build a field hospital, and then have a good fight with the Japanese!
After all, if he wants to fight a big battle, the seven or eight thousand people he brought are not enough!
At least we need to develop tens of thousands of main forces and twenty to thirty thousand local armed forces to be appropriate!
After all, the Hebei Plain area does not have the terrain advantage like the northwest of Shanxi.

"Captain, isn't your idea a little too naive?
The Japanese reconnaissance planes were moving over our heads for no reason. How could they not detect such a large army marching like ours?
Even if we want to hide, we can't, right?"

Han Yang was a little speechless.

I feel like Yang Yuanshan is just daydreaming.

"What's naive?
Have you forgotten that our troops are good at night marching?
Once we pass Niangzi Pass, can't we just find a wood to sleep in during the day and march at night?

At that time, let the special warfare company, sniper company, and reconnaissance company go forward together to clear out all the Japanese spies within a 10-kilometer range on both sides of the road. I don't believe they can still discover our whereabouts!"

Yang Yuanshan expressed his plan.

"But Commander, if we march at night, our trucks, tanks, and artillery will probably have to move at the slowest speed.

Otherwise, if you accidentally fall into the ditch, it will be a big trouble. "

Han Yang still frowned and reminded.

"It doesn't matter if it's slow. We don't need a few days anyway."

Yang Yuanshan waved his hand indifferently.

At this point, Han Yang could only nod:

"Okay, I get it."

"Well, help me pass on the message. Let the soldiers have a good rest tonight. We will set off early tomorrow morning!"

Yang Yuanshan gave further instructions.

"Yes!"

……

Yang Yuanshan gave the special operations company one more night, but Wei Dayong obviously didn't need it.

At 10: that night, Zhang Xiaohe woke up the sleepy Yang Yuanshan:

"Captain, the special operations company is back!"

Upon hearing this, Yang Yuanshan instantly came to his senses.

He hurriedly got up from the bed, rubbing his face while ordering:
"Okay, let the monk come to see me!"

"Yes!"

……

After a while, Wei Dayong, with a dark face and dusty appearance, followed Zhang Xiaohe into the room.

"Captain, I'm back!"

"Well, thank you for your hard work."

Yang Yuanshan nodded.

Then he took the teapot from the stove, poured him a bowl of water, and asked Zhang Xiaohe to get him some food.

After he drank some water and ate something, he asked:
"Monk, why are you taking so long to come back?

Wasn't the telegram sent to you several days ago?"

"Hey, didn't you ask me to bring back some more recruits?

So we ran to Zhaoyu County."

Wei Dayong answered quickly.

"What? Zhaoyu County?
What are you doing there?"

Yang Yuanshan was speechless.

That place is nearly 200 miles away from Qixia Town!
"Hey, Captain, you don't know that the area near Yuci was swept by Captain Kong of the New Second Regiment before, and there was nothing left for us."

Wei Dayong scratched his head and smiled awkwardly.

What else can Yang Yuanshan say?
I can only sigh:

"Good boy, you can really run!"

In response to his exclamation, Wei Dayong just laughed foolishly, probably taking it as a compliment to himself.

Seeing that he was not ashamed but proud of it, Yang Yuanshan didn't know what to say.

I can only change the subject and ask:
"Then tell me in detail what happened during your trip. The previous telegram wasn't clear enough."

"Hey, hey, hit!"

Wei Dayong smiled foolishly and nodded, then began to narrate the story in detail.

From his narration, Yang Yuanshan realized that unlike in the northwest of Shanxi where all the Japanese had been wiped out, in the plains south of Yuci, the Japanese artillery towers and strongholds still firmly blocked all major transportation routes.

This time, the special operations company went there and found that it was impossible to pass through secretly.

So Wei Dayong got angry and decided to destroy all the artillery towers and strongholds he encountered.

After a series of fierce operations, they eliminated a total of twenty or thirty artillery towers and strongholds, and killed many Japanese and traitors stationed in the artillery towers and strongholds.

It can be considered that the enemy cage in that area was severely damaged.

This greatly loosened the restrictions on our local military forces, which were originally only able to operate in mountainous areas.

Moreover, he sent away all the captured weapons and equipment, which greatly strengthened their strength and won wide acclaim.

It was with the help of these troops that Wei Dayong was able to bring back more than 1000 new recruits suitable for joining the army.

After hearing what happened, Yang Yuanshan couldn't help but patted Wei Dayong on the shoulder and praised:

"Monk, you did a great job on this!"

Then he asked again:

"What's the situation in your company now?
Have all the personnel been filled?"

"We were all there originally, but a few bastards didn't work hard during training, and I didn't like them, so I sent them back to the group.

There are now 92 people in the company.”

"Okay. 92 people is basically enough."

When it comes to special forces, quality is more important than quantity.

Twenty or thirty people are a little too few, but more than ninety people are more than enough.

Yang Yuanshan is still very satisfied with Wei Dayong's work.

He nodded and said:

"Monk, we asked you to come back this time because the group is going to make a big move."

“What big move?

Zhang Xiaohe refused to tell me, if it weren't for your consideration, I would have beaten him up!"

Amidst the excitement on Wei Dayong's face, there was still some indignation.

Seeing that this guy was about to hit his guard, Yang Yuanshan was too tired to complain.

Immediately reminded in a cold voice:

"Monk, are you going to break discipline again?

Do you want me to call Lao Zhou to give you a lesson?"

“Uh… that’s not necessary.

hey-hey……"

When Wei Dayong heard about the class, he felt his scalp tingling and shook his head quickly.

Seeing that he had behaved himself, Yang Yuanshan reminded him seriously:
"Monk, our team is different from the old man's team you were in before.

You must change your habit of hitting people as soon as possible!
Otherwise, you will suffer a great loss in the future!

Don't think that you can do whatever you want just because you have done so many good deeds!"

Wei Dayong saw the serious expression on Yang Yuanshan's face and no longer dared to smile. He nodded quickly:
"Yes! I understand!
I won’t beat anyone up casually anymore!”

Then, as if afraid that Yang Yuanshan would continue to focus on his problem, he forcibly changed the subject and said:

"Captain, please tell me quickly what big moves our group is making!"

"It's nothing, actually. Our regiment is going east to Hebei Province to rebuild our base. I need you to come back and lead the way, and by the way, we need you to clear out the Japanese spies."

Yang Yuanshan did not keep the question in suspense and answered frankly.

"What? Going to Jizhong? That's great!

Captain, why don't we just take over that damn Shimen City?
Last time I wanted to charge in, but the old devil Okamura left the city on his own and didn't give me the chance.

This time we go again, we must not let it go!"

Wei Dayong jumped three feet high, extremely excited.

“We must capture Shimen City, but not now.

Don't worry about this. Go back and have some rest now. We will set off early tomorrow morning.

Your special operations company must be at the front, don't let me down!"

"Yes!

Don't worry, Captain, we won't make any mistakes!"

Wei Dayong patted his chest so loudly that a lot of dust rose up, almost choking Yang Yuanshan and making him cough continuously.

……

After sending Wei Dayong away, Yang Yuanshan focused his attention on his system and checked the rewards given to the Special Operations Company for clearing out the Japanese artillery towers and strongholds during this period.

"Kill 211 Japanese infantrymen, and you will be rewarded with 211 Type 6.5 rifles and 2.1 rounds of Arisaka mm bullets."

“击杀小鬼子炮兵*17,奖励70毫米榴弹70发,75毫米榴弹100发。”

"Kill 4 Japanese medical soldiers and you will be rewarded with 1 box of penicillin, 1 box of morphine, and 2 boxes of medical bandages."

"Kill the Japanese corporal*7, and you will be rewarded with a Type 7 grenade launcher*700 and grenades."

"Kill the little Japanese sergeant*5 and reward 5 Type 7.7 light machine guns* and 5000 rounds of Arisaka mm bullets."

“击杀小鬼子少尉*2,奖励MG-42通用机枪*2,7.92*57毛瑟步枪弹2000发。”

"Kill *1 Little Japanese Lieutenants, and you will be rewarded with *1 Type 100 Infantry Cannons and rounds of artillery shells."

"Kill *1 little Japanese captains and you will be rewarded with *81 Type 1 100mm direct-fire infantry cannons and rounds of artillery shells."

After taking out twenty or thirty artillery towers and strongholds and only killing more than 200 Japanese devils, Yang Yuanshan had some enlightenment in his mind.

That is--

The Japanese troops were indeed very tight, with an average of less than 10 people in each artillery tower or stronghold!

It's so empty.

If you continue reading, you will find that the special operations company also killed quite a few Japanese invaders.

I guess they were in the base, helping the Japanese to gather numbers.

“击杀二鬼子步兵*324,奖励20响毛瑟C96手枪*324,7.63毫米子弹3.2万发。”

"Kill the enemy's non-commissioned officer*27 and be rewarded with 2700 Gong-style wooden-handled grenades."

"Kill the second lieutenant of the Japanese enemy*15, and you will be rewarded with 15 regular rifles and 7.92 rounds of 1500mm bullets."

"Kill 8 Japanese lieutenants, and you will be rewarded with 8 Czech light machine guns and 7.92 8000mm bullets."

"Kill the Japanese captain*4, and be rewarded with 4 Ning-made Type 7.92-4000 Maxim heavy machine guns* and rounds of mm bullets."

"Kill two Japanese majors, and you will be rewarded with two 2mm mortars and 82 shells."

Looking at these reward prompts, Yang Yuanshan realized that these were probably two battalions.

I couldn't help but mutter to myself:
"Wei Dayong is a real troublemaker!
If we let him recruit soldiers, he can kill half a squadron of Japanese soldiers and two battalions of Japanese invaders!

It would be unfortunate for the Japs to run into him."

……

The next morning.

Yang Yuanshan got up, washed, packed his things, and had breakfast with the soldiers of the guard battalion.

Han Yang sent someone to report that the soldiers were ready.

He immediately ordered the telegraph operator:

"Send a telegram to Zhaojiayu and inform the leaders that our special forces regiment of more than 8,000 people will set out immediately to central Hebei!"

Then he took the guards and walked to the entrance of the town.

Zhou Xianpei, Han Yang and others were already ready to go with the soldiers from the rapid infantry battalion and other battalions.

Zhan Haishan, Zhao Li, Feng Shuanglin and other people who were going to stay behind also came to see them off.

Yang Yuanshan suddenly remembered something and asked Zhou Xianpei:
"Old Zhou, are the medical staff that Old Liu brought here?"

"No, they all got up when the soldiers blew the wake-up call."

Zhou Xianpei replied quickly.

"That's good.

On the way, remember to arrange more people to look after you.

Don't let them fall behind.

This is our treasure.”

Yang Yuanshan knew that these medical staff were not like the soldiers who had been trained for a long time and were good at marching.
It is very likely that you will not be able to walk after walking for a while.

He quickly reminded Zhou Xianpei.

"Well, don't worry, I will."

……

After saying this, Yang Yuanshan took two steps forward and came to Zhan Haishan, who was in charge of staying behind, and told him:
"Haishan, Qixia Town is depending on you.

If there is no clear order from your superiors, when you face the Japanese, you must give full play to your rich experience in guerrilla warfare, mainly harassing them, and use fighting as training to steadily improve the combat effectiveness of your troops. "

"Yes!

Don't worry, Captain. I will send you a message if there is any situation."

Zhan Haishan assured with a serious expression.

It was such a large special forces regiment, and 60% of the troops were given to him. He felt a heavy pressure on his shoulders.

"it is good!

By the way, the field hospital is too large. If the Japanese send bombers to bomb it, I’m afraid our losses will be very heavy.

When the wounded have almost recovered, you can discuss with President Liang and move half of the equipment and medical staff to Zhaojiayu to set up a branch hospital.

In a region as big as Northwest Shanxi, having only one hospital is not enough.”

Yang Yuanshan thought of another thing and quickly explained it.

He had been thinking about this matter before, but there were too many injured people in the hospital and it was not convenient to run around.

Now we can only entrust it to Zhan Haishan.

Zhan Haishan naturally nodded repeatedly:

"clear."

Next, Yang Yuanshan looked at Zhao Li and said:
“Zhao Li, don’t slack off on the procurement of materials.

While there is still a chance to buy it, buy as much as you can.

We can't use it all ourselves, and we can provide support to our brother troops in the future."

This year's drought has begun to spread, and northwestern Shanxi where they are located has also been affected, which forces Yang Yuanshan to be extra vigilant.

Being hungry is not a pleasant feeling!

This was also one of the reasons why he was very happy when he learned that he was going to be transferred to Ji Zhong.

If you go there, you probably won’t go hungry.

"Yes!"

Of course Zhao Li knew the importance of supplies, so he quickly nodded in agreement.

……

After finishing what he wanted to tell everyone, Yang Yuanshan patted Feng Shuanglin, Wang Gensheng, Wang Quanfa and others on the shoulders, feeling infinite emotion in his heart.

He didn't know when he would meet them next time.

And how many of them may never be seen again?

Forcing down the sadness in his heart, Yang Yuanshan turned around and looked at the soldiers who were armed with live ammunition, standing in formation, ready to march eastward.

A feeling of pride suddenly arose in my heart.

The tiger is out, today!
He didn't waste any words and gave the order loudly:

"Comrades, head east immediately, full speed ahead!"

Upon hearing this, the soldiers shouted in unison:
"Yes!"

The murderous aura soars into the sky!
It seems to be able to disperse all the haze in the sky!
