Chapter 309 of the main text volume, the Japanese army is coming

Next chapter

Li Yunlong was promoted from regiment commander to brigade commander, and the independent regiment was directly expanded into an independent brigade of 20,000 people.

Originally, according to Lao Li's meaning, he wanted to give Lin Yi a regiment commander, but he refused, and he still led his "Independent Brigade Special Operations Team." ”

In his opinion, the role that a special operations squad can play is no less than that of a main regiment.

What's more, it is not easy for today's independent brigade to come up with a "main regiment", most of them are recruits.

Lao Li admired Lin Yi's training methods very much, and when he fought with the Japanese army wing with bayonets before, the combat effectiveness of the soldiers of the "special guard platoon" shocked Lao Li.

Therefore, he wanted to ask Lin Yi to serve as the chief instructor of the Independent Brigade, leading the members of the current "Independent Brigade Special Operations Squad" to supervise and train the soldiers of the entire Independent Brigade.

Today's independent brigade, the equipment and number of people have come up, but the combat effectiveness has been greatly reduced, and most of them are recruits.

Lin Yi did not refuse, but before his training began, the Japanese army on the Taiyuan side sent a brigade and went straight to Ping'an County.

The liberation of Ping'an County is a first-class joy in the eyes of the Chinese side, but it is a great shame in the eyes of the Japanese side.

Lieutenant General Yoshio Suzuka of the Japanese army in Taiyuan eventually sent a brigade to prepare to recapture the county seat of Ping'an. This time, the Japanese army in the northwest of Jin suffered heavy losses, and he could only send a brigade of troops.

The Japanese army stationed in Taiyuan originally had a division and two brigades under its jurisdiction, with a total of 20,000 people.

Each brigade has two wings under its command, with a total of 10,000 men.

However, the two wings under the jurisdiction of one of the brigades already had a wing, which was completely annihilated by the Independent Regiment and the 358th Regiment in the previous war to reinforce Ping'an County.

Today, the Japanese division and regiment stationed in Taiyuan have only a complete brigade and half a brigade left.

Yoshio Suzuka sent one of the complete brigades out, and it was not that he didn't want to transfer more troops from other aspects, but he was already powerless.

The Japanese troops in the northwest of Jin suffered heavy losses, and it was good to be able to hold their respective strongholds. The rest of the Japanese army is also somewhat dwarfed.

This year, with the frequent successes of the US army in the Pacific War, the rapid advance of the Soviet army on the Eastern Front in Europe, and the victory of the British army in El Alamein in North Africa. Italy withdrew from the fascist camp of the Axis powers.

The successive defeats of the Axis powers showed signs of defeat, and anyone with a slight military vision could see that the military alliance between Germany and Japan was lost.

In the vast Chinese battlefield, after several years of military confrontation, more than one million Japanese troops were also pinned down in the area occupied by the Japanese army.

In terms of the strategic pattern in the East, the second theater of the Chinese battlefield is just a small chess piece, and if Yoshio Suzuka can't even handle this little thing and needs to transfer troops from other theaters, his military career will almost come to an end.

And now in the entire North China station, the enthusiasm for the Anti-Japanese War is high, and there are large and small wars happening everywhere, even if Yoshio Suzuka has the heart to ask for help, he may not be able to transfer many reinforcements.

Because the Japanese army brigade went straight to Ping'an County, Li Yunlong and Lin Yi had to stop their plan to train their troops.

The two discussed it, but they had the same meaning, to feed the war with war!

Since ancient times, real warfare is the place where soldiers can grow the fastest. However, this method of military training is unusual, and it will cause bloodshed.

Extraordinary times, extraordinary means.

"This is Qingshui Town, about 55 kilometers away from Ping'an County, from the 1st Regiment to the 10th Regiment on the road of more than 50 kilometers, set up a defensive line every five miles, layer by layer. ”

Lin Yi pointed to a place on the military map and said lightly, Qingshui Town is where the arsenal of the Japanese army was located.

Nowadays, Ping'an County and its surrounding areas have been occupied by the Independent Brigade and various local armed forces, which can be regarded as a "liberated area." ”

Li Yunlong looked at the location of Qingshui Town on the map and nodded approvingly.

Lin Yi said again: "The remaining 11th regiment, with companies and platoons as units, operates separately and is responsible for flank cover, and then there is an artillery regiment responsible for covering and harassing operations, which can ensure that nothing goes wrong." ”

Li Yunlong nodded again, and said with a smile: "You kid doesn't go to be a division commander, brigade commander or something, it's really a condescending talent!"

The Independent Regiment now numbered more than 20,000 men and was divided into 12 regiments.

Eleven of them were regular regiments, plus an artillery regiment.

In addition, there are cavalry battalions, baggage battalions, health brigades, and so on.

Eleven of them were regular regiments, each with more than 1,500 combat personnel, although most of them were recruits.

Li Yunlong scattered the 4,000 veterans of the original independent regiment and distributed them to eleven regular regiments to lead the recruits.

As for the artillery regiment, it is the treasure of the independent brigade, and the Type 92 infantry guns and artillery guns captured from the Japanese army wing, plus the equipment captured from Ping'an County, made up an artillery regiment.

Lao Li is also the first time to lead such a large-scale army, although he is full of pride, but he has no experience.

Fortunately, Lin Yi is a traverser with rich experience, and with the assistance of modern officers such as Xia Xuan and Chen Long, it is completely easy to give Lao Li advice and battle plans.

In Lao Li's opinion, with Lin Yi's military talent, he can be a brigade commander, division commander and the like, and he is not talented at all!

Immediately, Li Yunlong convened a meeting of the commanders of the independent brigade with their staff officers and political commissars and issued an order for the operation.

"Lao Li, do you want to think about it again?" Zhao Gang's face couldn't help but change greatly when he heard such a battle plan of "fighting to nourish war".

In his opinion, the Independent Brigade can give full play to the old style of the Eighth Route Army, abandon the county town of Ping'an, hide in the mountains, and preserve its strength. There's no need to go head-to-head with the little devils.

Li Yunlong was a belligerent lord, and blindly avoiding it was not his style, so he shook his head and said, "Don't think about it anymore, the little devil is sent to the door, it is a good time for our independent brigade to improve their lives! We want to eat the devil's meat! We also have to chew his bones!"

"What I Li Yunlong need is a pack of wolves, not a pack of sheep!"

"We want to let the little devils know that when we encounter our independent brigade, we will encounter a group of wild wolves, a group of howling wild wolves!"

"In the eyes of our wolves, any opponent who calls for a battle is a piece of meat in our mouth!"

"Wolves travel thousands of miles to eat meat, dogs travel thousands of miles to eat -!"

"Let the little devil know how powerful our independent brigade is!"

"Execute the order!"

When Li Yunlong said the back, he was already roaring.

"Yes!"

The commanders of the regiments yelled and accepted the order.

Morale is high.

Lin Yi nodded secretly, although Lao Li commanded this kind of large-scale operation for the first time and had little experience, he still gave this newly built independent brigade a murderous aura! )
