Chapter 113: May 16, 1940, at 4 o'clock

"Commander, are you so sure that there will be a large-scale battle?" Looking at Li Yunlong, Liu Gen asked with some curiosity.

Li Yunlong laughed, extremely confident, "Genzi, Lao Tzu has fought more than you eat more salt, and anyone with a discerning eye can see it." If the devil's cage tactics continue to be implemented, the base areas of our Eighth Route Army will be constantly compressed, and the connection between various units will also be severed. The headquarters will not let such a thing happen, and it is time to teach the devil a big lesson! ”

Looking at Li Yunlong, Liu Gen admired a little, Li Yunlong is really powerful, not everyone has such a vision.

"Regiment commander, the soldiers of our artillery company also need to conduct shooting training, I would like to apply to you for 10,000 rounds of ammunition for training, and I also want the soldiers to conduct live-fire training."

"You also know that if the artillery company wants to form enough combat effectiveness, it is not enough to train blindly, and it is necessary to let the soldiers experience the baptism of the battlefield!" After a moment of silence, Liu Gen opened his mouth and said in a deep voice.

Liu Gen did not want the soldiers of the artillery company to have any ability to fight except for artillery, and the special situation of the Eighth Route Army meant that the artillery also needed to go to the front line. A good enough shooting technique can greatly increase the combat effectiveness of the soldiers of the artillery company, so that they can effectively cause damage to the enemy when they go to the front line!

"Genzi, you're a little too greedy, aren't you? Your artillery company only has a hundred soldiers, and 10,000 rounds of ammunition are used for training, which is a bit much! Li Yunlong frowned, 10,000 rounds of ammunition was a bit much. There were more than a thousand people in the independent regiment, and the bullets that were sent to the fighters were almost enough for the soldiers to fight a battle.

Now it's okay, Liu Gen opened his mouth and asked for 10,000 rounds of ammunition to let the soldiers of the artillery company conduct shooting training, isn't this a lion's big mouth?

"Regiment commander, I don't think it's too much, there is a lot of ammunition seized from Wanjia Town, not a lot, but it is enough for the soldiers of our regiment to conduct shooting training. You also know how powerful the devil's shooting skills are, while you have time now, it is better to use these bullets in the training of the fighters, improve the shooting skills of the soldiers, good gunners, but they are fed with a lot of bullets. Looking at Li Yunlong, Liu Gen opened his mouth and said in a deep voice.

Li Yunlong narrowed his eyes, he knew that what Liu Gen said was right, the shooting skills of the soldiers of the independent regiment were not good, and they were far worse than the new regiment. This is also why Li Yunlong will approve so many bullets for the soldiers to carry out shooting training, so it is probably impossible for Li Yunlong not to approve some bullets for the artillery company for shooting training.

"10,000 rounds, 5,000 rounds, I can only give you 5,000 rounds for the artillery company! With the precedent of your artillery company, I wonder if the newly formed cavalry company and the guard company directly under the regiment also need a lot of bullets for shooting training, you kid has a problem for Lao Tzu. Li Yunlong looked at Liu Gen and said helplessly.

The materials and ammunition seized from the raid on Wanjia Town made Li Yunlong feel that he was about to become a rich man in Shanxi, and now that he was fine, Li Yunlong had a headache when he thought of the ammunition that needed to be consumed for the training of the soldiers of the whole regiment.

"Regiment commander, there are still artillery shells, the soldiers of our artillery company still need to conduct live firing!" Looking at Li Yunlong, Liu Gen said again.

Li Yunlong became more and more helpless, damn, this regiment commander can't keep anything in his hands at all. Li Yunlong found that he seemed to be able to understand why the brigade commander would reach out to him, he and a regiment commander all need to worry about the ammunition used by the soldiers for training, so the brigade commander will definitely be even more worried, that is a brigade.

"The Type 92 infantry gun does not have many shells, and it cannot be used for soldiers to train, this infantry gun is specially brought for you from the brigade headquarters, I believe that in your hands, this Type 92 infantry gun can give full play to its power."

"I can only let the soldiers practice with 60mm caliber mortars, and there are more shells for this one, but I can only give you fifty rounds." Li Yunlong said with a headache.

When he first saw the materials seized from Wanjia Town, Li Yunlong also wanted to use these materials to try to cultivate a special operations force in Liu Gen's mouth. Now it seems that it is better not to think so much, the training of soldiers of the independent regiment consumes too much ammunition, and it is better to train such special operations forces than to bring bullets to the soldiers of the whole regiment for training.

"Roots! It's okay for you to go, damn it, I found out that it was a mistake to leave you behind, and I was going to throw out more than half of the ammunition that I had just arrived. Looking at Liu Gen, Li Yunlong opened his mouth to complain.

Liu Gen looked at Li Yunlong, he didn't know why, looking at Li Yunlong's somewhat resentful look, he wanted to laugh a little, "Regiment leader, in fact, if you are willing to spend money, you can find some fighters who are good at shooting and throwing grenades, and strengthen training for them, and when the time comes, these soldiers will definitely play a greater role." ”

"Yes, you're a good kid, you can even think of this." Li Yunlong praised.

After knowing that it was impossible to train special operations forces, Li Yunlong thought of strengthening the training of some fighters who were good at shooting and giving them more bullets to practice. As long as the shooting skills of the fighters are good enough, then on the battlefield, the firepower of the devils will definitely not be able to be laid, and the pressure on the independent regiment is much smaller.

"Okay, if you kid is fine, go back and train with the soldiers of the artillery company, I hope you kid won't let me down!" Li Yunlong said in a deep voice.

Liu Gen's expression became serious, and he opened his mouth to promise: "Regiment commander, our artillery company will definitely not let you down!" ”

After saluting, Liu Gen left the regimental headquarters and walked towards the artillery company.

Knowing that the independent regiment would need to face a lot of battles in the future, Liu Gen felt that he really needed to strengthen the training of the soldiers of the artillery company, and the soldiers still had a lot of potential, and it was very necessary to strengthen training. Sweating more in peacetime and bleeding less in wartime, Liu Gen did not want the soldiers of the artillery company to die on the battlefield due to their lack of adequate training.

Compared with the devil's artillery, the artillery company has a lot of shortcomings, and there are many things that need to be improved! If you want to survive the artillery battle with the devil, the soldiers of the artillery company still need more training, looking at the soldiers in training, Liu Gen has a decision in his heart.

In the next two or three days, Liu Gen did not make much changes to the training of the artillery company, which made the soldiers who were accustomed to this kind of training much easier. It wasn't until one day that Liu Gen came to the soldiers of the artillery company with a lot of small pockets that the soldiers of the artillery company realized that something was wrong, damn, Liu Gen, the company commander, was secretly holding back his big moves.

"Two pockets for each person, filled with dirt for me, tied to my legs!" Liu Gen opened his mouth and said in a deep voice.

In the face of such weight-bearing training, the soldiers of the artillery company wailed for a long time, and after the two small pockets were filled with soil, they weighed almost ten pounds. Carrying a load for a short time is nothing, and the soldiers can bear it, but with such a load for a long time, how can the training of the fighters be easy?

On May 17, the soldiers of the regimental headquarters conveyed Li Yunlong's order and asked Liu Gen to go to the regimental headquarters.

When he came to the regiment headquarters, Liu Gen could see that the battalion commanders and company commanders of all sizes of the independent regiment were here, but at this time, everyone's expressions were extremely heavy, and the atmosphere of the entire regiment headquarters was extremely depressing.

"Commander, what's going on?" Liu Gen's heart trembled, and he had a bad premonition.

Li Yunlong's face was ugly, he was speechless, and handed a telegram to Liu Gen.

After receiving the telegram, Liu Gen looked down at the contents of the telegram, and suddenly his heart sank, and the telegram was very concise, "At 4 o'clock in the afternoon of May 16, General Zhang Zizhong's headquarters was wiped out in the battle with the Japanese army in the ten-mile Changshan of Xiangyang Pumpkin Shop, and General Zhang Zizhong died heroically. ”
