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

Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang were both stunned.

Weiwei was stunned.

They didn't expect the boss would give them another three months.

According to the headquarters and the boss, this means delegating power to Li Yunlong's New 1st Regiment, while the New 1st Regiment continues to develop for three months.

This is definitely a good thing.

This means that the new regiment can freely deploy its military operations, and the materials captured in combat do not need to be handed over. It can develop freely, without many constraints. ...

The brigade commander looked at Zhao Gang and Li Yunlong who were stunned, and said, "Why? You don't want to?"

"Okay...I'll ask the boss to take back the order."

Li Yunlong reacted quickly and said, "Don't... Brigade Commander... Don't, I didn't say I don't want to!"

"It's just that the boss suddenly gave our new group three months of development power. I was a little surprised and surprised."

"Give me three months, and I can raise a division, not to mention a main brigade of more than 7,000 people..."

Seeing this, Zhao Gang quickly interrupted Li Yunlong: "Old Li... stop bragging."

The brigade commander looked at Li Yunlong with a smile and said, "Li Yunlong? Is this true? Can you bring back a division of troops in three months?"

"Then I'll report to the commander-in-chief. He said that if Li Yunlong can grow in ability, he will be able to bring back a division of troops in three months, which is more than the strength of a main brigade!"

According to the Eighth Route Army's troop organization, a division has approximately 10000 to 12000 troops.

But now the New 1st Regiment has only more than 4,000 people, which is still more than 6,000 short of the strength of a division.

More than six thousand people...this is not a small number.

Moreover, more than 6,000 people will be added in three months, not counting casualties caused by combat.

This is extremely difficult, almost impossible.

Li Yunlong suddenly felt that he had exaggerated a bit, and said quickly: "Brigade Commander...don't...I was just talking nonsense."

"It's difficult to mobilize a division of troops, but it's basically not a problem to mobilize a main brigade of troops."

A main brigade has about 7,000 troops.

Now the new regiment already has more than 4,000 people, which means that we only need to develop more than 3,000 people in these three months.

Even if there are combat casualties, they can be controlled.

发展部队也是遵循一个规律：就是从0到1比较难，从1到10也难，但是从13.00到100就相对容易一点了，到100到1000就更简单了

To put it simply, as the number of troops increases, the expansion speed will become faster and faster.

Therefore, Li Yunlong does not have to worry about not being able to gather a main brigade of more than 7,000 people in three months.

But it is still difficult to command a division of troops.

Seeing Li Yunlong's cowardly look, the brigade commander could not help but say, "Li Yunlong, stop bragging!"

"If you make a big promise in front of the boss and he takes it seriously, it will be hard to see how you end up!"

Li Yunlong nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, yes, yes... Brigade Commander, you are right. I, Li, know it!"

The only one who could make Li Yunlong obedient was the brigade commander.

The brigade commander defeated Li Yunlong.

However, Li Yunlong boasted at this time that he could bring back a division of troops...which was complete bragging.

However, three months later, what Li Yunlong boasted about today really came true... Of course, this is a story for later.

The brigade commander looked at Li Yunlong and said, "Li Yunlong, the headquarters will give your new regiment another three months to develop. Don't get complacent!"

"The boss has something special to tell you, please listen carefully..."

Both the general and the brigade commander knew Li Yunlong very well.

At least relax Li Yunlong a little, otherwise Li Yunlong might get into trouble.

So you have to be flexible!!

Li Yunlong learned that the boss had given him special instructions, so he immediately said in a serious tone: "Brigade Commander...you say it, I promise to complete the task conveyed by the boss conscientiously!"

The brigade commander looked at Li Yunlong and said, "Li Yunlong, the boss gave you three months of free development of the New 1st Regiment, but it is not for you to do whatever you want!"

"So during these three months, if you don't make a mistake, you will be punished twice as much. So you must not cause any trouble, otherwise the headquarters will punish you severely. No matter how great your achievements are, even if you killed Okamura or the emperor, you will still be severely punished!"

"So Li Yunlong, you should remember the cost of your mistakes in the past three months!"

Li Yunlong looked at the serious brigade commander and said, "Brigade commander...don't worry, I will try my best not to make mistakes and control my mistakes."

"Besides...Isn't it that I have Lao Zhao by my side now? He will keep an eye on me!"

The brigade commander looked at Zhao Gang and said, "Yes... Zhao Gang, you have to keep a close eye on Li Yunlong in the next three months and don't let him make any mistakes, otherwise the boss will never let him go!"

Zhao Gang nodded and said, "Don't worry, Commander. I'll take care of Li Yunlong!"

The general and the brigade commander were both worried that Li Yunlong would get into trouble in the next three months, so they kept repeating the orders.

Brigade Commander: "Well... Li Yunlong, Zhao Gang, please don't let me and the boss down!"

"We have high hopes for your new group and hope that it can develop rapidly!"

Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang both responded loudly: "Yes! We will definitely live up to everyone's expectations."

The brigade commander nodded again.

For three months, the brigade commander had no idea whether Li Yunlong's new regiment would have any surprises.

I just hope that the new regiment can steadily grow to more than 7,000 people in the next three months. This speed is acceptable.

After a pause, the brigade commander said to Li Yunlong: "Li Yunlong, there is one more thing, that is, your new regiment headquarters needs to be replaced!"

"Although your New 1st Regiment Headquarters doesn't have many people, I need you to rotate to the village of Zhaojiayu."

"Your New 386st Regiment Headquarters is responsible for the security of the Zhaojiayu area and will become the frontline position of our 386th Brigade. It will also support the intelligence security and vanguard role of our th Brigade!"

Originally, Li Yunlong's new regiment consisted of only a few dozen people.

During these three months, Li Yunlong has developed a group of two to three hundred people.

Close to the strength of a battalion.

It belongs to the troops directly under the regiment headquarters.

Naturally, Li Yunlong did not have many objections to the redeployment.

Li Yunlong nodded and said, "Yes, Brigade Commander... We will move the regiment headquarters to Zhaojiayu this afternoon."

The current location of the new regiment’s headquarters is not far from Zhaojiayu, only about ten kilometers away.

The new regiment's headquarters didn't have much belongings, so the redeployment would only take an afternoon.

The brigade commander nodded.

It's all little things.

Afterwards, Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang invited the brigade commander to stay for lunch.

The brigade commander also gave face to Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang and had lunch with the New 1st Regiment before leaving.

After the brigade commander left, Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang both breathed a sigh of relief.

Because the final punishment from the headquarters and the boss was just a serious warning.

Li Yunlong grinned and looked at Zhao Gang and said, "Old Zhao... I told you I was born to be a regiment leader, right? Hahaha... you see... the boss didn't punish me this time, he just gave me a serious warning!"

Zhao Gang straightened his face and said, "Old Li...what do you mean it's just a serious demerit? This is a very important punishment, okay?"

"Old Li, the brigade commander is right. You must not make any more mistakes in the next three months, otherwise the boss will definitely not let you go!"

Li Yunlong smiled and said, "Don't worry... Lao Zhao, I will try to make as few mistakes as possible!"

"Forget it... let's not talk about this anymore. The boss has given us another three months to develop our new group. We have to seize the opportunity!"

"Develop the troops well and expand our new regiment to more than 7,000 people!"

"According to the brigade commander's request, let's go down and start moving the regiment headquarters to Zhaojiayu!"

Zhao Gang nodded.

Afterwards, the headquarters of the new regiment began to be transferred to Zhaojiayu.

..................

Xinzhongcun base.

Su Zheng was also waiting for a telegram from the regiment headquarters.

Now that the three months have passed, Su Zheng still has no idea how the boss and the headquarters will deal with the matter of Li Yunlong issuing a military order!

I just don’t know how the headquarters determined that Li Yunlong had not completed the mission assigned by the military order.

Now three months have passed.

According to the time calculation, the headquarters' handling results should be out.

But there was no news about Su Zheng.

At this time, Su Zheng was at the battalion headquarters observing the enemy and our own situation around the Xinzhong Village base.

As more and more people moved into the Xinzhongcun base, the original scope of the Xinzhongcun base was no longer sufficient, so the scope of the Xinzhongcun base had to be expanded.

This is the next development goal of the independent camp.

On the other hand, the independent battalion now needs to be further expanded.

The independent battalion now has only more than 1,500 soldiers.

Although the logistics recruitment office has been recruiting soldiers from the villagers, the number of new recruits recruited is only two to three hundred.

Still too little.

If you want to continue to expand your troops quickly, you can only do so through combat, or by recruiting militia, anti-Japanese bandits, etc. These methods are relatively fast.

So Su was thinking about the next combat plan of the independent battalion.

Only fighting can improve the combat effectiveness of the Independent Sound and quickly expand the strength of the Independent Battalion.

At this time, Chen Yi came in, came to Su Zheng and said: "Report to the battalion commander, the arsenal just received news that the Gatling machine gun production line has been assembled and most of it has been debugged!"

"There are still a few machines left that are being debugged... basically there are no major problems!"

"The most scarce raw material for producing Gatling machine guns is iron. Director Zeng Zhiwen hopes that we can solve the problem of raw materials!"

Su Zheng nodded and said, "Okay...I understand!"

The raw material problem of the arsenal is also a very troublesome problem for Su Zheng.

Although we had stolen four truckloads of iron ore raw materials from under the noses of the Japanese, they have now been basically used up.

Copper ore was discovered in the back mountain of Xinzhong Village, which could solve the problem of bullet production, but could not solve the problem of iron and saltpeter, the raw materials for gunpowder and guns.

A headache!

It’s hard for a clever woman to make a meal without rice!

Su Zheng once again took out the "Mining Area Distribution Map of Northwest Shanxi" that he had seized before and began to look for the area where the nearest iron ore and saltpeter mines were located.

However, these mining areas are hundreds of kilometers away, too far away from the base.

Even if the independent battalion could take it down, it would be difficult to defend and there would be no way to develop it.

So this is very unwise.

"It seems that we have to solve the raw material problem of the arsenal first!" Su Zheng had a headache.

Xiao Ya walked in at this time and handed some documents to Su Zheng.

They are all clerical documents of the independent camp.

After delivering the documents, Xiao Ya turned and left.

Su Zheng stopped Xiao Ya and said, "Xiao Ya...wait a minute...I want to ask if there is any telegram from the regiment headquarters?"
