The security regiment is stationed, Tangji Town.

Li Hong rode a two-wheeled motorcycle, accompanied by guards and communications radio soldiers, to inspect the situation of various battalions and companies.

Originally, this motorcycle was a three-wheeled man, but the tricycle was sometimes inconvenient to drive in some complex terrain, so Li Hong, a modification maniac, modified the car.

In order to facilitate his movements, Li Hong provided each officer above the company level with a high-grade motorcycle.

Two days ago, the security regiment was relocated to Tangji Town, and its main task was to consolidate the defenses of several surrounding counties that had not yet fallen.

Tangji Town is located more than 80 kilometers northwest of Gucheng County, this town has roads extending in all directions, is a Sino-Japanese buffer zone, belongs to a strategic place, and is also a barrier to resist the attack of little devils.

The fact that the war zone handed over Tangji Town to Li Hong can only show that this is a very important strategic location.

In the towns near Tangji Town, the Eighth Route Army and the Jin Sui Army troops were also stationed.

In accordance with Li Hong's instructions, the security regiment has recently been recruiting new recruits to expand its strength and strength.

At present, the regular field unit of the security regiment has five infantry battalions, an artillery battalion, and other battalions and companies are fully organized, and the number of combat personnel has reached more than 3,000 people, in addition to the 1,500 reserve recruits of the security regiment.

The weapons and equipment in the arsenal had not yet been mass-produced, so Li Hong did not continue to ask his subordinates to recruit reserve recruits.

A large number of people fighting in battle does not necessarily mean an advantage, just compare the little devils with the Chinese army, why are the little devils so small in number and still winning many battles, the main enemy is more trained, and the weapons and equipment are good.

Little devils, an elite wing dares to fight with an army, the enemy is not conceited, this is called strength and self-confidence.

In other words, the current combat effectiveness of the security regiment, Li Hong also has the strength to compete with any elite brigade of the devil.

Li Hong didn't want to recruit too many soldiers, mainly because of the high logistical consumption.

For example, now the soldiers of the security regiment can eat meat once a day, but I am afraid that the troops can only eat meat once a week if the army is expanded, and the key is that this consumption is maintained every day, or it will not be long before the combat effectiveness of the security regiment will weaken and eventually collapse.

After more than a month of military training, the quality of individual soldiers and the combat ability of the team of the new force of the security regiment have improved by leaps and bounds, and every soldier has mastered the construction of various field fortifications.

The officers in charge of the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd battalions all have their own set of mature ways of training soldiers.

Li Hong's main inspection units were newly expanded battalion and company units, and he wanted to know how effective the newly formed battalion and company were.

After riding a motorcycle for more than ten minutes, he inspected the station of the fourth battalion, and the acting commander of the fourth battalion was Chen Lin.

Putting down the motorcycle, Li Hong walked to the high ground near the training ground.

At this meeting, Chen Lin was taking several company and platoon commanders to conduct training and impart military knowledge to the soldiers.

"Bang Bang!"

"Da Da Da!"

A string of gunfire rang out from the training ground.

Li Hong stood on the high ground and looked at the soldiers of the fourth battalion training on the training ground.

The soldiers were active on the training ground, and they quickly crossed various obstacles, and three or five soldiers divided into groups, maintaining each other's battle formations alternately to cover the attack.

After all, Chen Lin has studied in a military academy and knows how to lead troops to fight, and those big bosses in other battalions really can't compare to this kid.

"Report to the battalion commander, the regimental seat is here." A soldier ran to report to Chen Lin.

"My brother-in-law is here? Where? ”

Chen Lin turned around and looked around, then ran towards Li Hong on the high ground not far away.

"Brother-in-law, why are you here?"

Li Hong helped Chen Lin's crooked hat, and said with a smile: "Chen Lin, the fourth battalion is good, and the soldiers are trained like a war." ”

"Brother-in-law, it's not me who blows to you, now if you pull the four battalions to fight the devils, I guarantee that the little devils will be defeated." Chen Lin said confidently.

"Ho, your kid has been promoted, and the cowhide has begun to blow up." Li Hong made a joke and asked, "Chen Lin, how many people are in your camp now?" ”

Chen Lin straightened up and reported: "Report to the regiment commander, our fourth battalion has 5 infantry companies, plus other logistics units and reserves, a total of 773 people. ”

"There are so many people?" Li Hong was a little surprised.

"Brother-in-law, I'm thinking about getting another reconnaissance company and a guard company."

"Lao Tzu's regiment headquarters is a guard company, and you want to build a guard company in a battalion, you are better than your brother-in-law, the regiment commander!"

Chen Lin smiled, then approached Li Hong and asked in a low voice, "Brother-in-law, has my sister been captured by you?" ”

"Adult's business, it's your business?!"

"Why is it none of my business?" Chen Lin scratched his head and continued: "Brother-in-law, you have to hurry up about you and my sister, this is related to whether I can be the battalion commander." ”

"Hehe, you kid."

Li Hong slapped him on the head, restrained his smile, and said solemnly: "Let's go, look at the soldiers you bring, Lao Tzu will check how your soldiers are doing." ”

When he arrived at the shooting range, Li Hong randomly selected five or six soldiers to come out, wanting to see how these soldiers were marksmanship.

The selected soldiers quickly picked up their weapons and walked to the firing position, where they lay quietly on the ground, their eyes fixed on the front, aiming at the wooden target in front of them.

"Ready, shoot!"

"Smack, smack, smack!"

Crisp gunshots rang out, and the soldiers continuously pulled the bolts to shoot.

Li Hong's eyes swept the wooden target 100 meters in front of him, and at this distance, he could clearly see the bullet holes on the wooden target with his naked eye.

The marksmanship of these random soldiers was quite accurate, and few of them missed the target and released empty guns.

Li Hong pointed to a few soldiers and shouted: "You, you, and a few of you, go up and shoot a few shots." ”

"Yes, Tuanza!"

A group of recruits took up their weapons and walked to the firing position.

Li Hong brought a submachine gun from the soldiers of the guard company, and he walked back and forth behind the soldiers of the fourth battalion, interfering while shooting.

By the time the soldiers finished shooting, their shooting results were not bad, and it seemed that interference was of little use to the soldiers.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Li Hongzhen wouldn't have believed that this was a soldier's marksmanship that had been trained for a month.

"Brother-in-law, you have nothing to say, do you? Hehe......" Chen Lin smiled proudly.

"You kid is quite capable, do a good job."

"Brother-in-law, do you want to see the soldiers' tactical training again?"

"No need, I saw the training of your four battalions of soldiers just now."

At this moment, the communications soldier with the radio on his back hurriedly ran over.

"Regimental seat, theater military intelligence telegram."

Li Hong picked up the telegram and carefully read its contents.

"Brother-in-law, what does the telegram say? Is there a war? ”

He put down the telegram and said with a worried expression: "Last night, the Japanese North China Front dispatched three elite brigades to support the Shanxi battlefield, and the Itagaki Division is also moving troops everywhere. ”
