Show the sword, start from the guerrillas

Chapter 309 Chapter 308, they are all here!

War horses and pack horses are different, they have different positions and uses! So using war horses to carry things is a waste of resources, no one would do that.

Therefore, in the following march, Li Yuexuan and Cai Xiaotian were lucky enough to become infantrymen riding war horses. Although they had been in contact with war horses for several months, Li Yuexuan thought that he was not yet capable of riding and killing, let alone riding and shooting! At most, he could only ride a war horse for long marches.

However, riding on the warhorse and looking at the brigade commander and others who were also riding horses, Li Yuexuan felt that he also became taller. Well, this was probably because he was riding high...

The guerrillas had 18 war horses on hand, which took up the space of 18 soldiers. They could patrol the front, back, left and right of the team to ensure the safety of the surroundings.

As the last line of defense of the brigade, they had a particularly heavy responsibility as they marched right next to the brigade. Of course, Li Yuexuan knew that there would be no accidents during this march, after all, the brigade commander was still there.

During the daytime march, Li Yuexuan did not know where the captured supplies had gone. He did not ask much, as the soldiers of the supplementary regiment seemed to be all equipped with rifles. During his inspection, he also saw that the comrades of the supplementary brigade who were fighting together also happily changed to rifles. Well, not many, probably one battalion of troops changed to rifles.

This is progress! From more than 100 broken guns to two companies of Japanese equipment and two companies of miscellaneous weapons, this is progress! And looking at the bullets, the soldiers of the replenishment brigade have 10 bullets each, which is the level of the main force.

Of course, the level of the main force has also been improved, and the soldiers have 30 bullets. Well, this is the benefit of winning the battle and attacking the Japanese warehouse! I believe that before long, everyone will be able to wear this year's new cotton-padded clothes! And all of this was obtained from the Japanese...

The marching process was dull and tedious, but as everyone's enthusiasm grew, the dullness was blown away.

Maybe they felt safe, or maybe they didn't care about the Japanese soldiers stationed in Yushe coming out, so they even sang songs during the march. There were even impromptu performances by the art troupe members of the brigade on the roadside. And the instructors in the team also explained some truths to the soldiers during the march, so that everyone understood why they were fighting.

Li Yuexuan had a sense of déjà vu about all of this... Well, he missed his old army in the future.

Although the team was large, with thousands of people on the march, and even an artillery battalion on the march, the speed was not slow at all. They set out at dawn, took a break in the middle, and arrived at the headquarters in the evening. Li Yuexuan looked at the map and exclaimed, wow, this directly passed between Wuxiang and Yushe!
Of course, at this time, the Wuxiang County Office was in Qin County, and Qin County was occupied by the devils, so Wuxiang was now under the jurisdiction of the Taihang Third District, and it was considered their own territory. Well, we have to wait until next year when the devils will occupy Duan Village, and then it will be divided again... Of course, this has nothing to do with him now.

So what does this have to do with him?
Xianwangzhuang, the guerrillas were ordered to station again tonight. But before entering the village, a familiar voice attracted everyone's attention.

"Haha, hello comrades..." These old comrades were too familiar with Zhao Danian's voice, so all their attention was quickly attracted by the figure standing at the entrance of the village.

"Ahem, are you surprised? Hahaha, I brought the main force of our guerrillas here, saying that we have a mission!" Zhao Danian was in high spirits and called me directly. "What? You brought the main force here? What about our base?" Xing Weiguo walked to the entrance of the village in two or three steps, saluted Zhao Danian, and then asked.

"What should we do? We have militia teams in each village. Captain Guo and his men are stationed in the village to help garrison the area. There is also a New 1st Regiment in the south. What could possibly happen to our base?" Zhao Danian asked in return.

"Captain, it seems that the New 1st Regiment hasn't moved in the past six months?" Li Yuexuan also walked to the entrance of the village and saluted, then gave Zhao Danian a warm hug.

"No! The New 3st Regiment is the mainstay there. One regiment can watch over the Japanese invaders in three counties. It plays a big role! Moreover, Commander Li has gained so many benefits. We must give them time to develop! Our guerrillas have now expanded to three companies and one platoon, while the New 5st Regiment has five battalions! My goodness, this is more people than our old 772nd Regiment!" said Zhao Danian.

"Five battalions? Humph, I guess Captain Li could still hide one or two battalions privately! But no matter what, our team has grown, and that's a good thing!" Xing Weiguo said.

"Okay, comrades, welcome to the village! We have prepared food, drinks and accommodation for you. Have a good rest tonight, as we still have important tasks to accomplish!" After Zhao Danian finished speaking, he arranged for everyone to go into the village to rest.

After eating and sleeping, there was no conversation all night. The next day, Li Yuexuan and Zhao Danian gathered together for a meeting. This time, the main force of the guerrillas arrived together and would definitely participate in the next battle, but they didn't know where they would be placed.

"According to the arrangement of the superiors, the main force of the 129th Division, the 344th Brigade will launch an offensive against all the strongholds along the Handan-Changzhi Avenue in the near future. The purpose is to capture these strongholds and occupy the Handan-Changzhi Avenue!" Zhao Danian stated the strategic purpose of this time as soon as he opened his mouth, which made Li Yuexuan's heart tremble, knowing that the real business was coming.

"During this period, we have been in the northern base and don't know much about this area. But when I came here, someone told me about the recent battle situation. Of course, it does not include the battle the day before yesterday."

"The Japanese started attacking southeastern Shanxi in July and soon occupied the transportation line of Handan-Changzhi Avenue. However, during this period, the division's special forces regiment has always persisted in fighting and has never relaxed its attack on the Japanese! The Japanese in Licheng have been beaten back in their many raids. After several months of fighting, the Japanese in Licheng have been restricted to within 7 kilometers of the county seat!"

"So, what is our mission?" Xing Weiguo asked.

"Our mission hasn't been assigned yet! The headquarters is still arranging the battle. Our guerrillas' mission now is to rest and train, let the new comrades get familiar with the old comrades, and then adjust the organization to form an effective combat organization! For example, the artillery platoon, the next step is to transfer the artillery platoon from the first company and assign it to the team headquarters. And the vanguard squad should also be expanded!"
