At the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, the chief of staff had just translated the secret telegram sent by the garrison regiment, and a long-lost smile appeared on his face.

Looking at the deputy commander-in-chief, he raised the telegram in his hand and reported excitedly: "Boss, Comrade Li Hao has succeeded. ”

"Jin Suijun promised to give 1 million oceans in exchange for more than 4,000 officers and soldiers in his hands, and the money has already reached the headquarters of the garrison regiment."

"Comrade Li Hao wants to leave 100,000 yuan for himself, and hand over all the rest to the headquarters and ask for our opinions."

"I'm okay with that!" The deputy commander-in-chief also had a smile on his face, and he was happy to answer.

"This million oceans were originally brought back by Comrade Li Hao by his own ability, and our headquarters only cooperated in sending two telegrams, and I have no problem even if he leaves half of them, not to mention that he only leaves 100,000 oceans."

"Call him back, the headquarters completely agrees with his distribution plan, and immediately sends someone to the garrison regiment to take over this batch of funds, and asks him to be ready to respond."

"In addition, the position of the deputy director of the Liaison Office of the Theater allows him to continue to hold the position, they are neighbors with the Jin Suijun, and they must often deal with them, with this identity, he can also act when he really encounters anything."

"I couldn't agree more." The chief of staff returned.

"As soon as he was appointed as the deputy director of the liaison office, he brought us 900,000 oceans in income."

"If you continue to let him do both, you will definitely not let us down."

After receiving the return call from the headquarters, Li Hao breathed a sigh of relief.

100,000 oceans is not a small amount, and many of the main brigades of the Eighth Route Army do not necessarily have so many capital reserves, and they are just a garrison regiment.

After handing over the task of handing over funds to the political commissar, Li Hao concentrated his energy on the expansion of the troops.

The next target of the garrison was Datong City.

The city there was a thick wall, and the Japanese puppet army built a large number of fortifications, otherwise the Jin Sui army would not have been able to defeat it for ten days.

To deal with such a fortified city, in addition to stockpiling a sufficient amount of ammunition and equipping the troops with well-equipped weapons, it is also very important.

That is, to have a sufficient number of troops.

If the troops are not enough, just sweeping the Japanese puppet army outside the city can make the garrison regiment suffer heavy casualties and lose its combat effectiveness, let alone attack the city.

Therefore, before attacking Datong City, the garrison regiment must train a sufficient number of troops.

Four separate battalions, each of which pulls out a thousand combatable soldiers, is only the first step in the entire battle plan.

When attacking Datong, the newly formed Datong Independent Battalion and the Wei County Independent Battalion, which had already penetrated into the territory of Datong, acted as internal responses, cooperating with the main force of the regiment to quickly eliminate the Japanese puppet army outside the city, and not giving them a chance to return to Datong.

The Guangling Independent Battalion and the Laiyuan Independent Battalion were responsible for staying in the base area to ensure the safety of the rear of the garrison regiment.

"Regiment Commander, this is the new establishment of the independent battalion that I have listed according to your requirements!" Hong Linfeng walked to Li Hao's side and reported.

"Four independent battalions, each independent battalion has four main companies, one guard company, one baggage company, and one recruit company, the strength of the main force company and guard company is controlled at about 150 people, and the number of baggage companies and recruit companies is not limited, but the soldiers inside must be pulled to the battlefield to participate in the battle, ensuring that each independent battalion has 1,000 soldiers to fight."

"In addition, each independent battalion must also form an artillery company, a fire company, a reconnaissance platoon, an engineer platoon, a cavalry communications squad, plus other personnel at the battalion headquarters, a total of 300 people."

Li Hao thought for a moment and replied: "An independent battalion of 1,300 people, train them well, and then give them all the ammunition, the combat effectiveness is no less than half of the main regiment, almost." ”

"Chief of Staff, add one more sentence to their telegram."

"I give them the power to form their own local troops, but the regiment will not give them a single gun or a bullet."

"As long as they are capable, I have no problem with the training of local troops according to the standards of the main force."

Hong Linfeng replied with a smile: "Regiment commander, I'm sure, after your order was issued, several battalion commanders were laughing in their dreams at night. ”

"With their ability, it is no problem to pull out a team of 2,000 people in half a year."

Li Hao shook his head and replied, "That's not necessarily. He Jun and Huang Sheng must have no problem there, with Datong City at their back, there are still a large number of coal mines controlled by the Japanese puppet army within the range of activities, and they can fight an ambush from time to time, get some supplies, and feed so many troops. ”

"Zhang Yun and Zhao Wen can't do it, they can only take the initiative to attack and go to the devil-occupied area to grab food to get food supplies, it is very difficult, and the chance is very small, even if they pull out so many troops, they can't feed them."

Hong Linfeng was silent.

As the drought in North China intensified, the shortage of grain in the base areas has greatly restricted the development of the troops.

There are even many troops that have had to reduce their strength and strength because of food shortages.

If it were not for the shortage of food, with the existing scope and population of the base area, the total strength of the garrison regiment would have doubled and fed.

But not now, the people can't even feed themselves with food in their hands, and not only can they not support the troops, but they also need the troops to support them in turn.

Under such circumstances, a large-scale expansion of the army can only become a luxury.

Li Hao opened his mouth to comfort: "Chief of Staff, you don't have to worry too much. ”

"Even if Zhao Wen and Zhang Yun can't pull up a local force, the main force of the two battalions is enough to ensure the safety of our base area."

"If you want to take Datong, He Jun and Huang Sheng are the key, the more troops they pull up under the nose of the Japanese puppet army, the more devils will be consumed outside Datong, and the greater our chances of winning Datong."

Hong Linfeng nodded, looked at Li Hao and continued to ask: "Regiment commander, the four independent battalions are good to say, most of their food and ammunition supplies are self-raised, and the impact on us is very small. ”

"But the main force of the regiment can't."

"You assured the political commissar yesterday that all the extra food and ammunition supplies after the expansion of the main force of the regiment will be solved by yourself, and that it will not increase the logistical pressure on the base areas, and I think this is simply impossible."

"After the expansion, the main force of the regiment will definitely increase by several hundred mouths, not dozens of people, and now there is a shortage of food everywhere in the base area, how to solve it!"

"That's what I'm really worried about."

Li Hao's brows also twisted.

In his plan, after the expansion of the main force of the regiment, it will not only increase by a few hundred, but also by one or two thousand.

Not to mention anything else, I have to eat an extra 3,000 catties of food every day.

In order to ensure everyone's physical strength and nutrition, and keep up with the rhythm of the troops' training, the supply of meat and eggs cannot be interrupted.

Taken all together, it's definitely a big burden.

The chief of staff is right, if the supply of food and ammunition for these people is not solved, the so-called expansion is a joke.

At this time, some people will say that since Li Hao has no solution, he should not be reckless at that time and make this promise to the political commissar.

The real reason is not that Li Hao can do it, but that he has to do it.

Even if the base area had just received 110,000 troops, it would only ease the logistical pressure on the original troops of the garrison regiment, and it would not be the turn of the newly expanded troops at all.

If the logistical supply of the newly expanded troops is also overwhelmed by the base areas, it will be a matter of snatching food from the mouths of the people in the base areas, and there will definitely be a famine.

Therefore, Li Hao must make this promise, so that the main force of the regiment can have a chance to expand.
