Anti-Japanese War: Developing on my own, I brought back a US-equipped division

But how to punish... I don't know.

Don't try to guess what the boss is thinking.

You can't guess it.

Zhao Gang saw that Li Yunlong's tone was a little depressed, so he said, "Old Li...you can't curse at me...I, Old Zhao, am not that kind of person!"

"I recognize you, Old Li. Even if you become a groom or a cook, you are still my brother, Zhao Gang!"

"Besides... didn't you say you've had three ups and downs? Are you born to be a leader?"

"Even if you lose your job as a cook this time, you can still become the team leader."

"When you become the head of the group, I will be your regular member!"

"Besides, the boss hasn't issued a punishment for you yet, has he? You are so dejected, this is not like your character, Li Yunlong!"

Li Yunlong smiled and looked at Zhao Gang and said, "Old Zhao... good brother... but don't worry, I, Old Li, was born to be the leader of the group. Even if I am defeated this time, I will definitely stand up again!"

After saying this, the dejection on Li Yunlong's face quickly disappeared, and he became energetic again.

This is Li Yunlong.

Zhao Gang picked up the wine glass and said, "That's right... It's normal to have ups and downs in life... Come on, let's toast... Let's drink and forget about it!"

Afterwards, the two drank and chatted.

Because Li Yunlong didn't know whether he would be fired or not, he couldn't help but talk about the days he spent with Zhao Gang in the New Group.

Although Zhao Gang was a pale-faced scholar, he had good military skills and marksmanship, which impressed Li Yunlong.

Li Yunlong is a rough soldier, but he is very impulsive in his behavior and actions. However, he is good at leading troops in battles and has high military literacy, which Zhao Gang admires very much.

Both of them have a feeling of mutual admiration.

Drinking and chatting...it also seems like saying goodbye to an uncertain tomorrow.

At the same time, the regiment's clerk quickly compiled and summarized the combat reports of each battalion and unit.

It is worth mentioning that Su Zheng did not mention the arsenal in the combat report summary of the independent battalion, whether it was the combat report summary a month and a half ago or the combat report summary three months ago.

The arsenal is Su Zheng’s trump card weapon. Currently, the output of the arsenal is not high, so it is not suitable to be exposed so quickly.

So until now, Li Yunlong didn’t know that Su Zheng had an arsenal that could produce American equipment!

Afterwards, Li Yunlong asked the signalman to deliver the combat report summary of the New 1st Regiment directly to the Eighth Route Army Headquarters.

Without any hesitation, the signalman immediately rode a fast horse and delivered the combat summary report of the New 1st Regiment in the past three months to the Eighth Route Army Headquarters...

Chapter 196: The New Regiment's Combat Report Shocks the Headquarters: The Speed ​​of Pulling Troops is Terrifying! (Fourth Update, Please Subscribe)

Because the location of the Eighth Route Army headquarters in Chenjiayu has been exposed, the Eighth Route Army headquarters has now been moved to a new safe place.

Currently, the Eighth Route Army’s headquarters is located deep in the Dabie Mountains, which is relatively safer.

It takes a lot of time to get from the headquarters of the New 1st Regiment to the depths of the Dabie Mountains.

There were no near misses along the way.

At around eight o'clock that evening, the communicator of the New 1st Regiment finally arrived at the Eighth Route Army headquarters.

The Eighth Route Army headquarters had just settled down not long ago.

So everyone in the headquarters is busy.

Because they were busy with the headquarters transfer and other matters, the general and the deputy chief of general staff forgot that the three-month deadline of Li Yunlong's military order had expired.

Mainly because I’ve been too busy recently.

Although it was already night.

The general manager and the deputy chief of staff are still studying the enemy and friendly situation, and discussing how to ensure the safety of the headquarters.

The deputy chief of staff looked at the battle map, looked at the general and said, "General, look, the main force of the Japanese is here... our headquarters is inside... the main force of the Eighth Route Army is here!"

"The three parties have formed a 0-0 triangle. I think this can play a big role!"

"At the same time, in order to ensure the safety of our headquarters and prevent sneak attacks by small groups of troops, we must place at least three regiments around our headquarters!"

The boss nodded and said, "Well... now the war has entered a stalemate stage. No one dares to act rashly or launch a large-scale offensive!"

"We must now use our local advantage to fight the Japanese at 0-0 for a long time and finally kill them at 0-0!"

Deputy Chief of General Staff: "Yes, Japan is an island country."

"Even if they can plunder resources from the conquered territories and the 0-0-0 territories to supplement their lack of resources, they cannot make up for their lack of troops. If one dies, there will be one less!"

"Japan is only that big, and its population is only that big. We will fight with them and use up their manpower!"

Indeed...resources can be replenished through plunder.

But soldiers cannot.

For the Japanese devils, the death of one of their soldiers is one less.

The small population makes it impossible to meet the demand for military personnel.

Even the Japanese could form an imperial army or a puppet army to rule and even fight for them.

For example, the current Imperial Army, the puppet Manchukuo Army, etc.

Non-my family, its heart must be different.

It is impossible for these puppet troops to really work for the Japanese, and they lack the motivation and morale to fight.

Moreover, the Japanese could not completely trust these puppet troops, and they were also afraid of raising a tiger to cause trouble.

So under such circumstances, the Japanese's troop losses naturally became more and more serious.

Boss: "In the recent battles...we have also discovered that the Japanese are already running low on manpower!"

"Previously, the 129th Brigade of the 385th Division ambushed a Japanese battalion and found that there were many child soldiers in this battalion, and their combat effectiveness was much worse than before!"

Deputy Chief of General Staff: "Now the Japanese have child soldiers, which means they can't hold out for long."

"As long as we can maintain a 0-0 draw and fight a long war of attrition, we will definitely be able to defeat the Japanese!"

The boss nodded heavily.

The Eighth Route Army, from top to bottom, was determined and convinced that they would win the war of resistance.

I believe that the War of Resistance Against Japan will surely be won, and there will be no negative anti-Japanese sentiment.

This is also the reason why the Eighth Route Army was able to continue the war of resistance for a long time.

Believe firmly!

Strong faith!

While the general and the deputy chief of staff were discussing something, the guard came in, saluted with his legs together, and said, "Report to the general, the messenger of the new regiment has arrived at the headquarters!"

"The New 1st Regiment's correspondent said he brought a summary of the New 1st Regiment's three-month combat report."

A new group?

Three months?

The boss suddenly realized what was going on and laughed, "Oh, that's right... I almost forgot about it!"

"Li Yunlong signed a military order in front of me three months ago, saying that he would develop the New 1st Regiment into a reinforced regiment of more than 5,000 people within three months!"

"Now that the three-month deadline has just expired, I don't know how the new group is developing!"

The deputy chief of general staff also smiled and said, "Yeah... because of this... a few days ago, Li Yunlong came to the headquarters and made a scene. He was shameless and made a scene, hahahaha."

Li Yunlong didn't dare to fight with the boss, so he could only throw a tantrum and act shamelessly.

Anyway, that’s Li Yunlong’s personality.

Neither the general commander nor the deputy chief of general staff was very clear about the overall development of the new regiment.

They only knew the situation of the New 1st Regiment's Independent Battalion.

So now Li Yunlong arranged for someone to deliver the three-month combat report summary of the New 1st Regiment. The general and the deputy chief of staff were also very interested.

"Bring in the combat report summary of the New 1st Regiment and arrange for the communicator to have a rest!"

"Yes!"

After a while, the guard brought in the combat report summary document of the New 1st Regiment and handed it to the boss.

The boss took the document, looked at it carefully, and smiled: "Hahaha... Li Yunlong's new regiment is developing well... After three months of development, it now has more than 4,000 soldiers and eight battalions!"

"Eight battalions?" The deputy chief of staff looked slightly surprised and said, "That's not bad."

"Boss... you see... according to our understanding, Su Zheng's independent battalion now has more than 1,500 men, which means that the other three battalions of the New 1st Regiment plus the troops directly under the regiment have a total strength of more than 2,500 men."

“Although the development speed of the other three battalions is not as fast as that of Su Zheng’s platoon, it is still quite good.”

The general nodded, handed the battle report to the deputy chief of staff and said, "Take a look at the latest battle summary of the independent battalion... You will find that the independent battalion is not afraid at all even when facing the Japanese planes! Hahaha!"

The latest combat report of the independent battalion was about the Japanese air raid on the Xinzhongcun base. In the end, six Japanese fighter planes were shot down, one of which was a Zero fighter and the other five were Type 99 dive bombers.

The deputy chief of staff looked at the combat report, a trace of surprise appeared on his face, and he murmured: "Oh my goodness... the independent battalion is really good!"

"We destroyed six Japanese fighter planes with machine guns... This is not an easy feat!"

It's not easy to hit a 0-0-0 plane!

Occasionally shooting down one or two planes with a machine gun was considered a great achievement.

Now the independent battalion has shot down six fighter planes in one go, which is definitely a very impressive record.

The boss showed a satisfied smile on his face: "Hahahaha...that's right...the Japanese have an absolute advantage in the air, so their air raids and bombings have made us suffer terribly!"

"These little Japanese pilots are very arrogant. Every time they bomb us, they fly at low altitude and pass over our heads!"

"We can only watch helplessly as the bombs are fired upon us... We can't do anything about the Japanese planes."

"Now... the Japanese planes want to bomb the Xinzhongcun base... this time they will suffer heavy losses!"

"We dispatched ten fighter planes, but in the end, six were shot down...hahahaha...I can only say it was a well done job!"

The combat report summary of the independent battalion stated that they used sniper rifles and machine guns to build a firepower network to shoot down enemy planes and repel the Japanese air raids and bombings, but it did not write about the specific air defense process.

It was also not revealed that the machine gun used was a Gatling gun and the sniper rifle used was a Barrett sniper rifle.

The deputy chief of staff also smiled and said, "Yes... the independent battalion has created a miracle again!"

"The Independent Battalion wiped out the Fourth Brigade and ambushed the Japanese's battlefield observation group. Their revenge came so quickly!"

"We thought we'd retaliate against the independent battalion by bombing it with an air strike, but we ended up losing more than we gained. We got nothing and lost six fighter planes. It's really satisfying!"

The Eighth Route Army was poorly equipped, with a limited number of machine guns and bullets. This meant that every time the Japanese attacked from the air, they did not have the conditions to use machine guns to build an anti-aircraft firepower network even if they wanted to.

Therefore, every time the Japanese bombed the Eighth Route Army troops, they were quite arrogant.

Now the independent battalion of the Eighth Route Army is calling the Japanese air force a human being.

Let them be afraid of the Eighth Route Army and never dare to be so arrogant again.

Boss: "Not bad... The independent battalion led by Su Zheng is really good!"

"If we fight a land war on the ground, our combat power will be enough to make the Japanese lose their weapons and armor and sweep across northwest Shanxi!"

"Even in the face of air combat and air strikes, the independent battalion was able to take down six fighter planes. This is really impressive!"

The deputy chief of staff nodded, then his eyes fell on the battle report summary in his hand, and said: "Boss... you see Li Yunlong's new regiment has grown to more than 4,000 people!"

"But we are still more than a thousand short of the target of five thousand people set in the military order, so we have not fulfilled the content of the military order!"

"Boss...what are you going to do with Li Yunlong?"

The boss frowned slightly, looking a little embarrassed.

He would definitely not shoot Li Yunlong.

But if Li Yunlong is not punished, that would also be unacceptable.

After all, Li Yunlong did not complete the mission of the military order.

In just three months, a partially full-strength standard regiment with only two or three hundred people was able to grow to more than four thousand people. This is already incredible.

The speed of pulling troops is quite terrifying.

The boss was also a little embarrassed, so he looked at the deputy chief of staff and said, "Old Zuo...what do you think about this?"
