The reason why the headquarters has not made up its mind until now is that they want to wait for Li Lei to come back and listen to his opinion.

Li Lei fought with the Japanese army many times, and they were all fought in large forces.

His temporary regiment annihilated several divisions of the Japanese army in succession, which was a very valuable experience.

If you want to completely annihilate the Japanese First Army, Li Lei's opinion is very important.

Before Li Lei returned, the chief had already decided to reactivate the number of the temporary first regiment and reassemble the troops that had been disbanded before.

The head of the regiment is still Li Lei.

Only in this way can we give full play to the combat effectiveness of the troops.

As for why it's still a group, it's very simple. It can't be a brigade, right?

If it is a brigade, it will be too conspicuous and will bring a lot of unnecessary trouble.

It's just a name anyway.

Let's call it a group.

Although this regiment has more than 40,000 people combined, we are still one regiment.

Now that Li Lei is back, this order can be given.

The chief directly appointed Li Lei at the headquarters.

Li Leiwei was appointed as the head of the first regiment for the time being.

The appointment of the rest of the regiment was made later.

After coming out of the headquarters, Li Lei returned to Chenjiayu, which was the station of the New Third Regiment and the territory of Li Da's ability.

Li Lei decided that the regimental headquarters of the first regiment for the time being was in Chenjiayu.

After Li Lei left, the headquarters immediately informed the whole army that the troops that originally belonged to the 1st Provisional Regiment would immediately return to the army.

Li Yunlong, commander of the First Armored Regiment, Chu Yunfei, commander of the Second Armored Regiment, Li Daqing, commander of the New Third Regiment, Zhou Weiguo, commander of the New Sixth Regiment, Chen Feng, commander of the New Seventh Regiment, Sun Chenghai, commander of the New Eighth Regiment, Yang Liqing, commander of the New Ninth Regiment, and Xu Hu, commander of the Special Operations Regiment, immediately went to Chenjiayu to report.

The 7th Battalion of the 1st Regiment, which was originally temporary, continued to be under the command of Li Lei.

As soon as this order was given, the people who were in the original group for the time being, hula and ran towards Chenjiayu.

Of course, those who can go to Chenjiayu are only these group leaders, and others can't go if they want to.

They all had to be on standby at the station.

These regiment commanders are looking for Li Lei to report.

I haven't seen Li Lei for half a year, and I said that I don't want it, it's all fake.

Especially Li Yunlong.

This Li Lei is not there, Li Yunlong feels very bored, and he can't do anything.

Even Xiuqin said that Li Yunlong was not old.

Li Yunlong's goods are born to be fodder for war.

When Li Lei was there, he started to go south and fought a lot of big battles with Li Lei.

Playing that is called a pleasure.

The whole division and regiment that annihilated the Japanese army, that taste is much cooler than playing with my wife!

As soon as Li Lei left, the feeling he had before was gone in an instant.

As soon as the group returned to Shanxi, it was immediately dismantled. He, the commander of the 1st Armored Regiment, had nothing to do at all.

Because there has been no major war in Shanxi, he, the regiment commander, is not needed at all.

This tank is at home, and it is almost rusty.

Li Yunlong looked at the tanks in a daze every day at the station, there are so many tanks, this is not used to fight devils, it's a pity.

Several other regiments have already undergone equipment changes, which makes Li Yunlong greedy.

It's all American-style equipment.

Although the chief did not say where the equipment came from, Li Yunlong could guess it.

It must have been brought by Li Lei.

At that time, the chief sent Li Lei to Shanghai, but he Li Yunlong knew.

For the sake of Li Lei's safety, few people in the entire Shanxi army knew where Li Lei went.

Not long after Li Lei left, they got a large amount of equipment, and after a little thought, they knew that this must have been brought by Li Lei.

His first armored regiment did not need to be replaced.

Armored forces, the most powerful weapon, are tanks.

The thirty-eight big covers in the hands of the soldiers are enough to use.

Li Lei was listening to the report in Chenjiayu.

At this time, Li Lei was sitting cross-legged on the kang, gnawing on a nest, and on the small table on the kang, there was canned meat.

Li Da was able to sit on the other end, and Le's whole person was stupid.

The head of the regiment is finally back!

He had already received an order to reorganize the troops of the new third regiment into the temporary first regiment.

We're back for a while.

"Regiment Commander, what about the new third regiment now, this is basically the case.

The equipment has been completely reloaded.

Whether it is the number of personnel or combat capability, our new third regiment is the absolute main force of the entire army.

Moreover, during your absence, our new third regiment has recruited troops again.

After the split, basically all the personnel of the new third regiment were retained, and the headquarters took 1,000 people to supplement other troops, all of which were used as shifts and platoons.

I wondered if you weren't there, but we couldn't afford to have fewer troops.

So I did the recruitment.

Up to now, the strength of our new third regiment is not more than 15,000 people. ”

"How much!?" Li Lei originally ate it fragrantly, but as soon as Li Da's words came out, Li Lei was directly shocked.

When he came, the chief specially handed over the situation of these regiments to him.

The chief said that the strength of the new third regiment should remain at about 7,000 men.

Why is it suddenly fifteen thousand?

"Ability, after you recruited this soldier, didn't you report it?"

Li Da smiled and said, "The head of the regiment still understands us." Actually, I want to report it too. But on second thought, if it is reported, then the superiors will definitely have to come over and ask for someone.

Ding Wei's new regiment and Kong Jie's new second regiment were split because there were too many people.

Thinking about it this way, I simply don't report it for now. Let's cover the people up first.

That's not just me, we're the old guys of a group for the time being, and those regiments are all in this situation.

Lao Zhou's regiment now has 10,000 people.

Chen Feng's regiment, he said that there were almost 10,000 people in the first few days.

It's all a small fight.

Yang Liqing's group, that's a big deal.

There are already 20,000 horses smaller.

If I hadn't stopped him, he would have been able to get 30,000 people. ”

How much!?

Li Lei instantly felt that the nest in his hand was not fragrant.

20,000 people?

He Yang Liqing is amazing.

The chief told him that for the time being, the regiment had regrouped, numbering almost 40,000 men.

But that's more than 40,000! Five regiments, which add up to 70,000 or even 80,000 people.

Boy.

This is more than the number of troops of the 1st Regiment at the time of the expeditionary force.

Li Lei threw the nest head into the bowl with a snap: "Go, call Li Yunlong to me immediately, I have to know, let's be in a mess for the time being, how many people are there now!" ”

Li Lei's excited mouth trembled.

It was the first time he had commanded so many troops.

80,000 ......

"Commander, they're rushing here, they should be there soon."

As he was talking, Li Yunlong and his group entered the temporary regimental headquarters.

Seeing Li Lei, Li Yunlong burst into tears with excitement.

"Zhao Gang, come to report!"

"For the time being, a group of Li Yunlong, come to report!"

"For the time being, a group of Chu Yunfei, come to report!"

"For the time being, a group of Zhou Weiguo, come to report!"

"For the time being, Chen Feng, come to report!"

"For the time being, Sun Chenghai is here to report!"

"For the time being, Yang Liqing, come to report!"

"For the time being, a group of Wang Han, come to report!"

"For the time being, a group of Xu Hu, come to report!"

Everyone's voices trembled, their eyes were scarlet, and tears were rolling in their sockets.

Li Lei couldn't help but burst into tears as he listened to the reports one by one.

Wow!

They're together again.

Li Lei saluted them: "Temporary group!" Banzai!! ”

"Long live !!"

Although there were only a few people, the loud voice seemed to pierce the sky.

The people here, except for Zhao Gang, Li Yunlong and Chu Yunfei, don't know what Li Lei has been doing in the past six months.

So I'm curious.

But Li Lei can't say anything about this.

Now in Shanghai, his identity as Li Lei is still the seventy-sixth person.

And Wang Manchun is helping him deal with everything.

The weapons and materials transported by Chen Anping over there are still being transported in a steady stream.

It's all classified.

Although Li Da himself asked, Li Lei just smiled and didn't say much.

"Tell me about you, how are the troops during my absence?"

Li Lei said: "Lao Zhao, I heard that you are already the deputy chief of staff of the division headquarters, and this time you have returned to the temporary first regiment, and you are no longer the deputy chief of staff of the division headquarters."

We are still a temporary regiment, maybe you are still the political commissar of a temporary regiment, this level, but it has been lowered! ”

Zhao Gang calmed down and grinned: "As long as I can fight devils, let me be a warrior, no problem."

If I, Zhao Gang, had wanted to be an official, I wouldn't have asked to go to the Independent Regiment in the first place. ”

Li Yunlong slapped the table with a crackling sound: "Lao Zhao said this well!" Who are we? We are the Eighth Route Army! If anyone wants to be an official, then don't stay here as soon as possible.

Look at the few of us, these are all regiment leaders, right? As soon as this regiment was established, we all became battalion commanders.

But look at the few of us, is anyone unhappy?

No!

Look at this face, Dule is twisted.

Why? Just because I can fight devils!

Besides, let's have a battalion of one regiment for the time being, and then there are 10,000 people.

O battalion of 10,000 men, count with your fingers, where is it?

Ha ha!

This battalion commander should not change a gold ingot! ”

Li Yunlong was right.

For their gang, it doesn't matter whether it's the regiment commander or the battalion commander.

As long as you can beat the devil happily.

This follows Li Lei to fight devils and command tens of thousands of troops to fight, that feeling is refreshing from beginning to end.

"Let's talk about it, how many people are in your troops now?"

Li Lei had just returned from Shanghai, and now he had to know how many troops there were.

Zhou Weiguo first said: "My troops, not counting those county brigades and district squads, have 15,000 official troops.

With the exception of tanks, the troops have all been converted into American-style equipment, one-color semi-automatic rifles.

At present, the combat effectiveness of the troops is very considerable, and on the whole, it is at a higher level than when it was in the expeditionary force.

It's not that I'm blowing, just my troops, fighting a brigade of the Japanese army, don't fall behind at all.

Even the combat effectiveness is a little stronger than a brigade of the Japanese army. ”
