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

It was a little after ten in the morning.

Li Yunlong walked out of the temporary regiment headquarters, and when he saw Xing Zhiguo, he asked, "Old Xing... have the troops returned?"

Xing Zhiguo naturally knew that Li Yunlong was anxious, so he said, "Not yet... But you have already issued an urgent order, I believe that all battalions, companies and platoons are already rushing to Dongling Village!"

"Old Li, don't worry, wait until the troops have gathered, and then we will discuss how to attack this Ping'an County!"

Li Yunlong said impatiently: "How can I not be anxious? If the troops don't come soon, that bastard Takeshita Shun will run away!"

"If Takeshita Shun runs to Taiyuan, I will lead the new regiment to attack Taiyuan!"

"Damn it... If I, Li Yunlong, don't avenge this grudge, how can I be worthy of the sacrificed soldiers and the civilians who died? How can I survive in this area of ​​northwest Shanxi? This is really absurd!"

Angry!

This time Li Yunlong was really angry.

Xing Zhiguo nodded and said, "I know... Zhao Zhengwei is still lying in bed with his life or death uncertain... We must avenge him!"

Li Yunlong is now like a grasshopper in a hot pot, impatiently waiting for the battalions and platoons to return to their posts.

Moreover, Li Yunlong now does not know the troop strength of the first battalion, the second battalion, the third battalion, 780 and the independent battalion.

Li Yunlong had no idea how many troops the New 1st Regiment could gather this time.

At this time, the guard came to Li Yunlong and said, "Report to the regiment commander, the second battalion commander Shen Quan is here to report."

The first to return to Dongling Village was Shen Quan’s Second Battalion.

Upon hearing this, Li Yunlong hurriedly said, "Quick... let Shen Quan in!"

"Yes!"

The guard responded and went down.

Soon, Shen Quan came in front of Li Yunlong and Xing Zhiguo, put his legs together, saluted and said: "Shen Quan, the battalion commander of the Second Battalion of the New First Regiment of the Eighth Route Army, is reporting here. Commander... please give your instructions!"

Li Yunlong: "Shen Quan... I just want to ask you, how many people are there in your second battalion now?"

When the Second Battalion left the New First Regiment half a year ago to develop on its own, it took with it only 80 soldiers, which was not too many.

Shen Quan answered truthfully: "Report to the regiment commander, our independent battalion currently has 854 combat personnel, 5 heavy machine guns, 10 light machine guns, 1020 rifles of various types, mortars, and a certain number of grenades, bullets, etc."

This result...can only be considered mediocre.

In half a year, the Second Battalion of 80 people grew to more than people, and the military strength increased tenfold.

This result is quite good.

After all, the Second Battalion fought quite a few battles during these six months, and suffered casualties.

Now that Shen Quan has brought back more than 800 people, it does not mean that Shen Quan has expanded the staff by more than 800 people in these eight years.

The two concepts are different.

Although this result is very good, Li Yunlong frowned and said, "Shen Quan... you have been developing on your own for half a year and you have brought back more than 800 people. The number is a bit small!"

PS: I want an automatic subscription to break 50, now 49, if there is, I will add more, and is there any rich person who can give a small reward? 100VIP is also love.

Chapter 396: All the troops are assembled! All the military equipment of each battalion is unveiled (first update, please subscribe)

The Second Battalion expanded more than tenfold in half a year with only eighty people.

This result is not bad.

After all, we are in wartime now!

There are casualties and sacrifices in wartime.

After all, the Second Battalion has fought many battles in the past six months!

Xing Zhiguo next to him said, "Old Li, the development of the Second Battalion is pretty good. In just half a year, the strength of the troops has been expanded more than tenfold!"

"And you see, the Second Battalion has quite a few light and heavy machine guns, as well as three mortars!"

"Old Li...just think about it, our New 1st Regiment only had one mortar!"

indeed.

The development and equipment of the Second Battalion are not too bad.

Shen Quan beside him also hurriedly explained: "Report to the regiment commander, the main reason is that I fought a battle yesterday when I just received the order. I ambushed a small team of Japanese puppet troops and suffered more than 200 casualties. Otherwise, I could bring back a battalion of more than 1,000 people for you!"

This is true.

Yesterday, Shen Quan ambushed a transport team of about 100 Japanese and puppet troops.

After a fierce battle, the Second Battalion successfully wiped out the Japanese and puppet army transport team and seized a lot of supplies.

After the battle, the Second Battalion, which originally had more than a thousand people, was reduced to more than eight hundred people.

More than 200 people were killed or injured.

So Shen Quan only brought back more than 800 people.

If we count the number of people who joined the Second Battalion during the past six months, there are a total of more than two thousand people.

Only more than a thousand people died in the battle during these six months, and in the end only more than eight hundred were left.

Pick the softest persimmons to squeeze.

Units of the Eighth Route Army, such as the Second Battalion, which were not very strong, often encountered encirclement and blockade by the Japanese and puppet troops, and naturally suffered heavy casualties.

Li Yunlong looked at Shen Quan and said, "Shen Quan, your development in the past six months is considered acceptable, not too bad!"

Shen Quan grinned and said, "Captain, although my Second Battalion is still a battalion, I have the strength of two battalions under my command, so I won't embarrass you!"

"By the way, our Second Battalion also captured an Italian cannon! It's covered in foreign code!"

Italian cannon?

Li Yunlong's eyes lit up, and he grinned and said, "Italian cannon... good stuff, that's not bad!"

Xing Zhiguo: "Yes, it has developed quite well."

Li Yunlong also knew that the Second Battalion was developing well.

Although it can't be compared with the independent camp.

But this is a normal development speed.

After all, the food, clothing, shelter, weapons and ammunition of a troop of soldiers require huge military expenditures.

Li Yunlong nodded slightly and said, "Okay, then tell me about the development of your Second Battalion in the past six months!"

Shen Quan: “Yes!”

Afterwards, Shen Quan began to report on the development of the Second Battalion, its combat situation and other issues over the past six months.

The development of the Second Battalion was relatively difficult.

Because the Second Battalion did not build a base like the independent battalion, and then consolidate the foundation and logistics by developing the base, and then develop and build the troops.

Shen Quan's Second Battalion was mainly engaged in guerrilla warfare and general development of the troops.

Fight if you can win.

If you can't win, run away.

homeless.

Frequent running around.

This resulted in a lot of military supplies being lost in the process, and there would not be a solid mass base.

Naturally, the development of the Second Battalion was quite ordinary.

Not very good.

But it's not too bad.

Just as Shen Quan was reporting the relevant situation to Li Yunlong, the guard ran in again and said, "Report to the regiment commander, the third battalion commander Wang Huaibao led the troops to report in!"

The third battalion is back.

Li Yunlong quickly said, "The Third Battalion is back? Quickly...quickly get that kid Wang Huaibao over here!"

"Yes!"

The guard went down as soon as he was told.

Soon Wang Huaibao came in front of Li Yunlong, put his legs together, raised his head and chest and saluted: "Report to the commander, the commander of the Third Battalion of the New First Regiment of the Eighth Route Army, Wang Huaibao, is here to report. Please give me your instructions!"

Li Yunlong looked at Wang Huaibao and said, "Wang Huaibao, tell me quickly...how many troops did you bring back?"

Wang Huaibao said loudly: "Report to the regiment commander, the current number of troops in our third battalion is 1224!"

"We have 1324 rifles of various types, 40 light machine guns, 10 heavy machine guns, 5 mortars, a Type infantry gun, and various bullets and shells!"

The third battalion brought back 1224 people!

This is close to the strength of a regiment.

Pretty good.

Moreover, the Third Battalion was considered to be extremely wealthy.

40 light machine guns.

10 heavy machine guns!

5 mortars!

There is also a Type 92 infantry gun.

This firepower is awesome!

Hearing this, Li Yunlong was overjoyed and said, "Hahaha, Wang Huaibao, you have done quite well. One battalion now has almost the strength of a regiment! Not bad!"

Wang Huaibao grinned and looked at Li Yunlong and said, "Captain, I was originally planning to attack the stronghold of Niuling Village in two days. You issued an urgent order to return to the regiment, and I led the troops back directly!"

Xing Zhiguo: "Well... not bad, the Third Battalion is developing quite well."

When Li Yunlong issued the order to develop independently, the number of people taken away by the Third Battalion was only 90, ten more than that of the Second Battalion.

However, within half a year, the Third Battalion has grown from the original 90 people to more than 1,200 people, which is a very good development speed.

If the deterioration in the development speed of the Second Battalion is considered to be average and at a qualified level, then the development speed of the Third Battalion is considered to be excellent.

After all, the number of troops in the Third Battalion is close to that of a regiment.

There are also many light and heavy machine guns, mortars, infantry guns, etc.

This is strength.

Li Yunlong looked at Wang Huaibao and said, "Wang Huaibao...you have had a pretty good time in the past six months. You have brought back so many troops and weapons and equipment!"

"Tell me... How did your Third Battalion spend the past six months? What battles did you fight?"

"I don't want to see your Third Battalion bring back a bunch of rabble."

Wang Huaibao said quickly: "Captain, look at what you are saying... When has our Third Battalion ever embarrassed you?"

"Our Third Battalion is not a ragtag group."

Afterwards, Wang Huaibao began to report the Third Battalion’s military achievements and battles fought in the past six months.

Shen Quan next to him was also listening.

According to Wang Huaibao's report.

During these six months, the Third Battalion did not fight any tough or major battles. Its operations were mainly ambushes and encirclement and annihilation. At the same time, it did not encounter any mopping-up or encirclement and annihilation operations.

It can be said that the development of the Third Battalion was relatively smooth, which is why it achieved such results.

Shen Quan, who was standing beside him, felt envious when he heard this.

Shen Quan: "Lao Wang, I envy you. Your development is really smooth. Unlike my Second Battalion, it encountered two encirclements by the Japanese and puppet troops. Otherwise, I would definitely bring back more people than you!"

Wang Huaibao grinned and said, "Hahaha, Old Shen, don't be unconvinced. Our Third Battalion is just a little stronger than your Second Battalion!"

"Although your Second Battalion encountered encirclement and suppression by the Japanese and puppet troops, our Third Battalion also encountered a raid by the Japanese and puppet troops. However, we will not fight them head-on. We will fight if we can win, and retreat if we can't!"

Shen Quan and Wang Huaibao have different personalities.

Wang Huaibao is a relatively shrewd person. He uses various tactics and response strategies flexibly and is not so impulsive.
