Datong Independent Battalion Headquarters, Huang Sheng didn't expect Li Hao to be so polite this time, more than 1,300 artillery, engineers, cavalry, veterans, only to exchange for less than 40,000 oceans worth of gold, food and ammunition from the hands of the Jin Sui Army.

"Captain, isn't this like your style?" Huang Sheng asked with a smile.

"If this was put in the past, you would at least ask the Jin Suijun for 60,000 oceans."

Li Hao doesn't see it that way, although Xiao Yuan got back the ocean and materials, but the mosquitoes are small and meat, with them, the living standards of all the soldiers of the garrison regiment will definitely improve a lot.

Facing Huang Sheng, he replied with a puzzled gaze: "We can't push them into a hurry." ”

"Although the fault lies with the Jin Suijun this time, they have already paid a heavy price for it."

"And the object of our transaction this time is only a division commander under the Jin Sui Army, not the entire Jin Sui Army."

"How many families can a division have, if we want more, they will definitely refuse, and they will bargain with them and delay time. It's better for us to take the initiative to let go of the price and succeed in the negotiation at one time, so that Xiao Yuan and they can come back sooner. ”

"In case they drag on in Datong for too long, if there is an accident in any link and they are targeted by the Jin Suijun, then they will suffer."

"Okay, the matter here has been almost dealt with, with the lesson of losing my wife and breaking my troops this time, the Jin Sui army that is facing us will not have the courage to fight our base again for at least half a year. Therefore, I will hand it over to you on Hunyuan's side, and you must not let the Jin Suijun take a step beyond the thunder pool. ”

"As soon as Xiao Yuan comes back, I will take them back to the regiment headquarters."

Lingqiu Garrison Regiment Headquarters, Li Hao has been back for two days, except for sleeping and eating.

It is rare for the base area to usher in a period of peace, and as the head of the regiment, Li Hao must seize the time to rest.

No one knows when the next battle will come.

Once the war started, it was a few days and nights without rest.

Seeing Li Hao walk in, the tired dark color on his face had completely disappeared, Wang Hong took out a piece of paper and said, "Commander, you're almost rested." This is the latest report of our counteroffensive in the no-man's land. ”

"So far, we have opened up ground contact with the Huaiyuan Independent Regiment. Although there are still a few Japanese puppet army strongholds in between, they no longer threaten the lines of communication between us. ”

"Nearly eighty percent of the puppet army captives have voluntarily joined us after mobilization, and they have been replenished to various units."

"The captured equipment was also replenished to the battalions, and the rest was all sent to the local troops and guerrillas."

"This time, we were able to successfully hold the base area and take the opportunity to take the no-man's land, thanks to the contributions of the local troops and guerrillas, and these weapons and ammunition can be regarded as a reward from the regiment headquarters."

Li Hao was very satisfied, and asked while reading the battle report: "How is the real situation of each battalion?" ”

"If I'm not mistaken, at the beginning of the attack on Datong, the various units began to fight continuously, and the casualties were very large.

Hong Linfeng stood up and reported: After each battalion replenished the more than 1,000 captive soldiers mobilized by the political commissar, although it has not yet reached the full strength standard, it is not too close. ”

"The equipment is all complete, and several battalion commanders are working hard to train, wanting those captives to integrate into the army as soon as possible."

"The only problem is that the troop structure is a bit chaotic, the defense area is not clear, you have me, I have you, and the station is very chaotic."

"The main battalion is a standard three main companies, an artillery company, a guard platoon, a baggage platoon, a reconnaissance platoon, a cavalry platoon, and a communications squad formation."

"Several independent battalions were in chaos, and some independent battalions had four main companies, an artillery company, a baggage company, and a cavalry company...... Some independent battalions have three main companies, an artillery company, and a guard company......"

"Now that these independent battalions have returned to their base areas, they no longer need to face the little devils independently, and I think the battalions should be unified."

"And their names should also be changed, the Datong Independent Battalion has withdrawn from Datong, and it is definitely not appropriate to call them Datong Independent Battalion again......"

"Only by having a unified establishment and a unified name can the regiment headquarters arrange a unified station for them."

Wang Hong agreed: "I have such an idea when the troops take the no-man's land, and I agree that the regimental headquarters will take the opportunity to unify the troop establishment, equipment, and title. ”

"This will also be conducive to the regimental headquarters in commanding operations in the future."

Li Hao didn't answer, but stared at the two partners and asked: "Political commissar, chief of staff, what do you think of the current situation of the Japanese army." ”

Hong Linfeng didn't understand why Li Hao suddenly came up with such a question, but he still thought for a while and replied: "I don't know anything else, but the combat effectiveness is more than one level worse than three years ago." ”

"In the past, it was difficult for the three of us veterans to deal with a devil with bayonets. Shooting within a range of one or two hundred meters, the devil will definitely point to wherever he hits, as long as the troops enter this distance, it will be a live target for them. ”

"Now they can't."

"If you fight with bayonets, our two veterans will cooperate with each other, and we will definitely be able to easily kill a ghost soldier."

"The marksmanship is also not as good as before, and there are not many people who can accurately hit the target within 100 meters."

"On the battlefield, the two sides are separated by more than 100 meters, and when there is not much difference in strength and firepower, we can already shoot at them."

"It would have been almost impossible to do three years ago."

Wang Hong also showed an expression of approval: "The combat effectiveness of the Japanese army is indeed much worse. ”

"Three years ago, the main force was all old devils who had been in the same position for more than two years, with strong combat effectiveness, killing people like hemp, and not afraid of death."

"Nowadays, such veterans have either become officers, or they have died, or they have retired, and the soldiers of the newly replenished troops have not grown up, and their combat effectiveness will definitely be poor."

"When counting the results of the battle, we also found soldiers in their teens and forties and fifties on the battlefield, which shows that the Japanese army's reserve source is about to run out."

"In addition, the soldiers of the newly replenished troops are not as afraid of death as before, and now that they are fighting, more and more devils are taking the initiative to surrender to us."

"When we fought in no man's land, we captured more than 30 little devils, including two child soldiers."

Li Hao nodded: "I agree with you, the Japanese are already in decline. ”

"Three years ago, after we killed a Japanese army, as long as the commander and structure of this unit are still there, the Japanese army can rebuild this force in a few days."

"Now when this situation is encountered again, within two or three months, the troops that have been disabled by us will definitely not be able to rebuild."

"Therefore, the overall strength of the Japanese army is not as good as before, not only is its combat effectiveness weaker, but its strength is also less."

"Because of this, they will form a large number of imperial troops in enemy-occupied areas to help them defend the city."

Wang Hong heard what Li Hao said, and immediately asked, "Commander, do you want to say something?" ”

Li Hao nodded: "The little devils are getting weaker and weaker, our strength is getting stronger and stronger, do you think they can still organize a large-scale sweep to deal with us in the future?" If they can't be organized, then it's our turn to attack them? ”

Hong Linfeng was the first to react: "I understand, regiment commander, are you saying that the battle has been fought so far, and the comparison of strength between us and the devil has changed qualitatively, and the enemy is no longer strong and I am weak?" ”

Li Hao shook his head and replied: "The form of the enemy's strength and my weakness has not changed, but there are too many places for the devils to defend, and after the limited forces are dispersed, on the local battlefield, the initiative has already reached our hands." ”

"So what we have to do next is to seize this rare opportunity, train elite soldiers, build the garrison regiment into a strong army, and when the time comes, launch a counterattack against the nearby Japanese puppet army and regain the lost territory."
