In the evening, a jeep slowly drove into Xiaolizhuang.

Seeing this jeep, Guan Dashan, Shen Quan, Wang Huaibao, and Zhang Dabiao hurriedly got up to greet them, and Xing Zhiguo, director of the Political Department, who had taken the first step to count the troops and equipment, also came forward.

The jeep creaked to a stop, the doors opened, and Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang got down from the left and right doors respectively.

"Captain! Commissar! Guan Dashan and the other four battalion commanders hurriedly stood up and saluted, Li Yunlong returned with a military salute, and asked as he walked into the gate, "Are they all here?" ”

Xing Zhiguo replied: "Except for the cavalry battalion and the wolf tooth squad, they are all here. ”

Zhao Gang said: "The cavalry battalion and the wolf tooth squad will not come to Xiaolizhuang to assemble, don't worry about them." ”

"That's it." Xing Zhiguo nodded, and said excitedly, "Commander, there are more than 2,000 people compared to the last time the report was compiled!" ”

"More than 2,000 more?" Li Yunlong said, "Isn't that more than 17,000 people?" ”

"17,596 to be exact! Commander, you're almost ready to be a military commander! ”

Xing Zhiguo said that this was the end of the pause, and then continued: "These more than 17,000 people are organized into 56 infantry companies, 5 artillery companies, 6 heavy machine gun companies and a tank platoon. ”

"Tank platoon?" Li Yunlong said, "Why did a tank platoon suddenly pop up?" ”

Guan Dashan's face immediately showed irrepressible joy, but he couldn't hold back his words.

Xing Zhiguo said with a smile: "A week ago, the 1st Battalion ambushed a rapid strike column of the devils and captured 4 Type 95 light tanks, of which 1 was completely scrapped, and the remaining 3 have been repaired. ”

Zhao Gang said with a smile: "Lao Li, now the family background of our independent group is really solid. ”

Li Yunlong nodded, his gaze swept over the faces of several battalion commanders, and said: "You guys are all hard now, it's good, if you have hard bones, you can fight a tough battle!" ”

"Now, there is an uphill battle in front of us."

"The 358th Regiment of the Jin Sui Army, Chu Yunfei's troops, this person is not investigated."

"Everyone knows that Heyuan County is already a piece of fat in the mouth of our independent group."

"But this Chu Yunfei dared to peck in the mouth and snatched the fat that we were about to eat."

"When has our independent regiment suffered such a loss? Since he, Chu Yunfei, dares to snatch food, he should have the consciousness of being bitten by a tiger! ”

"Didn't say it, kill the 358th regiment of the dog day!"

"Hit the 358th regiment?" Zhang Dabiao and the other four battalion commanders looked at each other.

Obviously, this result was somewhat unexpected by them, they originally thought that the regiment commander had gathered the whole regiment to fight devils, but it turned out to be to fight the 358th regiment of the Jin Sui army.

Zhang Dabiao persuaded: "Regiment commander, this is a sabotage of the anti-Japanese united front, do you think about it again?" ”

"Didn't you hear that?" Li Yunlong's eyes widened, and he said sharply, "It's Chu Yunfei's rules that are broken first, the friction that is provoked first, and we are defending ourselves!" Self-defence! ”

Zhang Dabiao stopped talking.

Li Yunlong said again: "Now I order, the 1st Battalion will block the east gate of Heyuan County, the 2nd Battalion will block the west gate of Heyuan County, the 3rd Battalion will block the north gate of Heyuan County, and the 4th Battalion will block the south gate of Heyuan County. ”

"There is no distinction between the four battalions and the main attack, all of them are the main attack!"

"Within one day, you must take Heyuan County!"

"Eat two battalions of the 358th regiment!"

"Yes!"

……

Dagu Mountain, the headquarters of the 358th Regiment of the Jin Sui Army.

The war room of the regiment headquarters was already full of people.

The telephone ringing in the communications office and the ticking of incoming and outgoing telegrams rang out.

From time to time, one by one, the communications staff officers came out of the telecommunications office, handed over the latest battle reports one by one to the combat staff officers in the war room, and then reflected them on the sand table through the hands of the combat staff officers.

Looking at the more and more blue pennants on the sand table, Chu Yunfei's face collapsed little by little.

Fang Ligong also felt a little incredulous, and said in a deep voice: "When he participated in the Taiyuan Campaign, wasn't Li Yunlong's independent regiment only more than 3,000 people? ”

"After breaking through from Taiyuan, there are only more than 1,000 people left."

"How is it that in less than a year, the independent regiment has swelled to so many people?"

"From the current situation, there are more than 50 infantry companies with numbers alone!"

"Based on the calculation of 120 people in an infantry company, 50 companies are 6,000 people!"

"120 people?" Chu Yunfei snorted twice, and said, "Brother Meritorious Service, you really don't know much about Li Yunlong, how can his troops, a company only have 120 people?" ”

"More than 120 people?" Fang Ligong asked a very silly question, "How many will there be?" ”

Chu Yunfei said in a deep voice: "Even if it is a conservative estimate, there will be more than 200 people, and it may even exceed 300 people!" ”

"A company of more than 300 people? Is that still connected? Fang Ligong was dumbfounded and said, "That's already a battalion!" ”

"If you want to understand it like this, then it's not a company, it's a battalion!" Chu Yunfei said with a dark face, "In other words, Li Yunlong's independent regiment now has more than 50 infantry battalions!" ”

"And that's not even counting his artillery, cavalry."

Fang Ligong said in disbelief: "That must not exceed 15,000 people?" ”

"15,000 people are conservative." Chu Yunfei said, "If I'm not wrong, the strength of the Independent Regiment should be close to 18,000 now!" ”

"Oh my God." Fang Ligong gasped and said in a deep voice, "The speed at which the Communist Party is expanding its troops is really terrifying, how can it be done in the long run?" ”

Chu Yunfei said: "But fortunately, the equipment of the Eighth Route Army can't keep up, otherwise, I'm afraid it will really become a big problem for the party-state!" ”

"Oh, yes, yes." Fang Ligong said, "Fortunately, the Eighth Route Army is extremely poorly equipped. ”

Chu Yunfei said again: "Pass on my order, the 1st Battalion, the 3rd Battalion and the 4th Battalion will be deployed from the front and attack in the direction of Heyuan County, and the mountain artillery battalion will follow!" ”

Speaking of this, Chu Yunfei said again: "Just take this opportunity to try the depth of the independent regiment!" ”

Fang Ligong said: "Tuanzao, it is good to try the depth of the independent regiment, but I am afraid that we have to have reservations, but we can't let the independent regiment find out our reality clearly." ”

"I know that." Chu Yunfei said, "Order all battalions, especially the 2nd battalion and the field artillery battalion, to have reservations when fighting fire, there is no need to save ammunition, but the firepower can be reserved." ”

"Also, don't hold back when fighting with the white blade."

"You are not allowed to stab with a bayonet, but you can use a snatching stock to smash it, and I am responsible for smashing it to death!"

"In terms of tactics, we should not expose the principles of our firepower to the independent regiment."

"It is very likely that one day in the future, our 358th Regiment will meet the Independent Regiment on the battlefield, and I don't want our enemies to know all about our path."
