The battalion commander is anxious to see everyone, something big must have happened.

After receiving the order, several company commanders immediately rode to the battalion headquarters as if they were bloody.

At five o'clock in the morning, the commanders of the four main companies, the commander of the guard company directly under the battalion headquarters, the commander of the artillery company, the commander of the baggage company, and the platoon commander of the engineer platoon, all sat in front of He Jun, staring at him with bright eyes and an eager expression.

"Battalion commander, everyone is here!" The deputy battalion commander stood up and reported.

After He Jun read everyone, he gave a straightforward order: "The regiment commander has just sent an urgent telegram asking us to report the latest situation of the troops. ”

"I judge: the superiors must have a big action for us to participate, so don't hide it for me in the next report, say as much as you want!"

"The first company commander starts!"

"Yes, Battalion Commander!" The commander of a company stood up excitedly.

Looking at He Jun's report: "The first company now has three main platoons, a guard platoon, a reconnaissance squad, a fire platoon, a baggage platoon, plus the company headquarters, with a full strength of 218 people, equipped with two mortars, two heavy machine guns, four grenadiers, 15 light machine guns, 146 rifles, and 13 various pistols. ”

"In addition to the main forces, we also formed three guerrilla detachments in the defense area, adding up to 46 guns, each armed with a light machine gun."

The commander of the second company was not to be left behind, and as soon as the commander of the first company sat down, he stood up: "Battalion commander, the establishment of the second company is the same as that of the first company, the main force is full of 220 people, equipped with three heavy machine guns, two mortars, three grenadiers, 14 light machine guns, 150 rifles, and 14 pistols. ”

"Four partisan detachments, a total of 53 people, armed with 3 light machine guns."

"The average ammunition is about 80 rounds per rifle, 600 rounds of ammunition for heavy machine guns, three grenades and grenades per person, and 80 rounds of artillery shells."

The commander of the third company then stood up: "Battalion commander, instructor...... Our three companies have a guard platoon, three main platoons, an artillery platoon, a heavy machine gun platoon, a baggage platoon, a reconnaissance squad, and a platoon of recruits is being formed. ”

"The company has a full strength of 259 men, equipped with one infantry gun, two mortars, four grenadiers, four heavy machine guns, 16 light machine guns, 189 rifles, and 18 pistols."

"Three guerrilla detachments, each with twenty men, armed with eighteen rifles, one light machine gun, and one box gun."

As soon as the third company commander finished speaking, the eyes of the other company commanders who looked at him obviously became envious.

Infantry artillery is a good thing, and when attacking a stronghold, a single shell can destroy a turret.

With it, the troops have the ability to attack fortified positions, and they can attack and retreat and defend.

Every company commander wants to have one, but the devil watches the infantry guns very closely, and rarely pulls them out to fight in the whole situation.

All units of the independent battalion fought against the Japanese puppet army as a company, and there was little chance to force the Japanese army to use infantry artillery.

The third company was lucky, there happened to be an infantry cannon in the materials and ammunition that the devil transported to a coal mine, and the third company happened to ambush him, and the mortar was easily captured.

He Jun was very satisfied with the current strength of the third company, and continued to order: "The commander of the fourth company continues to report, then the guard company, the fire company, the baggage company, the recruit company, the reconnaissance platoon, ......."

Ten minutes later, all company platoon commanders reported to the company.

Instructor Tan Wensheng has been recording.

Five minutes later, he stood up from his position, a rare smile appeared on his serious face, and said happily: "Battalion commander, comrades. If I remember correctly, the independent battalion entered the Great Parallel with a total strength of just over 500 people. ”

"After nearly half a year of development, the total strength of our independent battalion has expanded to 1,389 people."

"Equipped with two mountain guns, one infantry gun, three large-caliber mortars, 15 ordinary mortars, 21 grenadiers, 12 heavy machine guns, 64 light machine guns, and 856 rifles."

"In addition, there are more than 230 guerrillas, armed with 10 light machine guns and nearly 200 rifles."

"The scope of the activity includes four towns and 58 villages of all sizes."

"There are also nearly 20 other villages that are our guerrilla zones."

He Jun was very satisfied with this result, and decisively ordered: "Old Tan, immediately report the data you have counted truthfully to the regiment commander, and send a telegram now." ”

"If the regiment commander really has a big move, with the current strength of the independent battalion, he will definitely be able to intervene."

At the headquarters of the garrison regiment, Li Hao was the first to receive Xiao Yuan's call.

With Chen Fusheng's cooperation, the development of the troops in Yi County was faster than planned.

"Regiment commander, Xiao Yuan reported that the two garrison battalions have been fully staffed, and they are stationed at all the traffic arteries in the defense area."

"The troops sent by the devils to the two towns have not yet set off, and the troops are seizing the time to take control of the defense area and establish our own maintenance association."

"The garrison battalion close to the Laishui Independent Regiment has already contacted them."

"The independent regiment close to this garrison battalion was originally stationed with the strength of one battalion, and after determining that the garrison battalion was its own people, it directly transferred two infantry companies."

Li Hao's face was already smiling, and he ordered decisively: "Political commissar, immediately send someone to send a copy of the list you just copied to Xiao Yuan and the Laishui Independent Regiment." ”

"Tell the head of the Laishui Independent Regiment that we will buy all the raw materials at the price on the list."

"Xiao Yuan also has to use the identity of the garrison battalion to find a way to raise raw materials, the more the better."

Wang Hong immediately received the order, and five minutes later, several communications soldiers set off and rushed to Laishui overnight.

At six o'clock in the morning, the regimental headquarters received a report from the Hunyuan Independent Battalion.

After reading the telegram, Wang Hong was taken aback.

He Jun had too many troops in his hands, and he tripled compared to the previous army.

This is only half a year, if they are given another half a year of development, will they develop to two or three thousand people under the nose of the Japanese puppet army!

Li Hao was not too surprised.

His focus now is not on how many people there are in the Hunyuan Independent Battalion, but on how much territory they control.

Immediately ordered: "Chief of Staff, immediately mark all the base areas and guerrilla areas controlled by the Hunyuan Independent Battalion on the map." ”

"There is also the Datong Independent Battalion, and after their telegram arrives, they will also mark the relevant situation on the map, the more detailed the better."

At ten o'clock in the morning, all the things Li Hao needed appeared on the map.

The territory controlled by the two independent battalions is not very large, and each independent battalion is only within the scope of four towns, stuck between the garrison regiment base area and the northwest Shanxi base area, with a distance of less than 20 kilometers from each other.

Seeing Li Hao staring at the map with a serious face, Wang Hong asked puzzledly: "Regiment leader, you don't seem to let two independent battalions raise raw materials?" ”

Li Hao shook his head and explained: "The base area controlled by the two independent battalions is too small, and the raw materials obtained from searching the entire base area are not enough for the arsenal for a month. ”

"If you want to ensure the output of the arsenal, you must find a way from the outside!"

"Northwest Jin Base Area?" Wang Hong reacted suddenly.

Li Hao nodded and affirmed: "The base area in the northwest of Shanxi is very large, although the grain output is very small, but there are many mineral resources of all kinds, only by contacting them, the arsenal can get a steady stream of raw materials." ”

"Command!"

"The Hunyuan Independent Battalion immediately sent troops to open up the connection between them and the Datong Independent Battalion."

"The Datong Independent Battalion sent troops to open up the connection with the base area in the northwest of Shanxi."

"The Guangling Independent Battalion sent troops to open up the connection between them and the Hunyuan Independent Battalion."

"Three days later, I will directly contact the base area in the northwest of Jin."
