Chapter 77: Expansion of the Army
"Hayakou, Hayakou."
The Captain of the Third Wing saw that the people who were harassing them had not shown up for a long time, and he guessed that the enemy might have captured Yongxiu or had retreated. Therefore, he kept urging the troops to speed up their pace, no longer need to guard against enemy attacks, and to rush to Yongxiu County as quickly as possible.
Juntaro Matsuura, who was on his starting line, had already told him that a secret warehouse had just been built in the county seat of Yongxiu, which had stored the supplies of nearly two divisions, and that he had to rush to Yongxiu before the enemy found or carried them away, so as to prevent this batch of materials from falling into the hands of the enemy.
Now that the enemy in charge of harassing and blocking him had quietly withdrawn, his heart suddenly rose to his throat, and he prayed to their Hydra for the safety of supplies as he marched with his troops.
Half an hour later, the 3rd Wing finally arrived outside Yongxiu City. But they did not enter the city at once, but stood outside the city and observed.
At this moment, the sky was already dark, and the city gate in front of him was wide open, and there was not a single guard on the city gate. He had to be careful, because he didn't know at all whether the enemy had all evacuated, or if they were setting up an ambush and waiting for themselves to enter the pocket of their own.
"Order the artillery to open fire."
Boom, boom, boom
The captain of the third wing, who had been observing for an hour, did not find any of them, but for the sake of safety, he still ordered a bombardment. If there is an ambush at the city gate, it will definitely be exposed if it is bombed like this.
Unfortunately, he shelled for almost ten minutes, and there was no movement on the city gates and walls.
"Order the First Brigade to enter the city."
Helplessly, time was running out, so he had to send troops into the city to investigate. As a result, it didn't take long for the First Brigade to report that there was nothing in the city but the corpses of the warriors placed in the square.
The wing commander immediately understood the enemy's plan to empty the city, and immediately led the brigade into the city, and after entering the city, he went straight to the warehouse.
But when he arrived at the secret warehouse, he was dumbfounded. Because the warehouse in front of me looks like a mess, and it's empty. The things of those two divisions are gone, and you don't need to ask to understand that they have all been carried away by the enemy.
"Yaga, Yaga. I sent a report to the division commander saying that we encountered strong resistance halfway, but we were still a step too late, and the supplies had been looted. β
In order not to bear this responsibility, he asked people to report that he was blocked by the enemy, and after a hard battle, he finally arrived at Yongxiu, but it was still too late.
"Yaga, Yaga."
When Matsuura Jun saw the telegram, he just scolded twice, and then faced the sun flag and silently closed his eyes.
"Hahaha, good boy, I said you made me anxious, so what are people doing here. It turns out that your kid gave me such a big surprise, so many supplies, enough for us to equip tens of thousands of people. β
As soon as Chen Hu saw Chen Jinghui in Wuning, he immediately laughed and ran over, and last night's depression had been dissipated by the supplies of these two divisions.
"Uncle, hahaha, we sent it this time. You see, so many good things. β
"Well, there are a lot of good things!"
As Chen Hu spoke, he touched the 75mm mountain cannon in front of him with his hand, and the beauty and happiness in his heart could not be expressed in words.
"Uncle, leave it to the people below to handle it, let's rush back to the seal immediately, I have something to arrange."
"Good"
After telling Company Commander Sun about the transportation task, the two immediately drove back to the seal.
Early the next morning, when the sky was still bright, Chen Jinghui got up and went to the telegraph room of the regiment headquarters.
"Order the battalion commanders and political commissars to rush back to the sealing headquarters, see the important military meeting."
"Order, Wei Hua, Li Dali, and Huang Erwa of the special combat team, who have already guarded Company Sun and Company Commander, must rush back to the sealing headquarters before nine o'clock to participate in the military meeting."
"Yes"
Two orders were issued, and the military and political chiefs of the battalions, special combat teams, and guard companies left the garrison and hurried back to the seal as quickly as possible.
At nine o'clock, all the military and political officers arrived in the conference room of the headquarters.
"Everyone is here, and now the political commissar will talk about the situation of the Flying Fox Regiment recently."
As soon as everyone arrived at the conference room, the guards immediately closed the door of the conference room, and the special combat team was on guard within 30 meters outside. Cheng Jinghui began to ask Chen Hu to introduce the recent situation.
"Comrades, since the establishment of the Flying Fox Group, the achievements have been impressive. Counting the just-concluded Battle of De'an, in just half a year, we successively captured Fengkou, De'an, Wuning and Yongxiu, of course, Yongxiu finally gave up. In the Battle of Dean, we lost a total of 2,956 casualties, and 1,486 were lightly and seriously wounded. The number of people who were able to fight in the whole regiment was 8,203. The seized materials have not yet been counted, and they will be reported after the inventory is completed. β
Chen Hu will briefly describe his achievements in the past six months.
"Okay, our Flying Fox Regiment has really had a good record in the past six months, and now we have captured two cities. But everyone can't be proud, we are still in a slight position relative to the devil. Whether it is in terms of weapons and equipment, or the number of personnel and literacy, it is inferior to the devil. So our question arises, how can we protect the hard-won results of the Guardians! β
Chen Jinghui stood up and affirmed the achievements of the past six months, and then raised the problems that he will face in the next stage.
"Commander, we should expand the army. Only when the troops are expanded, the little devils will not dare to despise us. This gives us more time to consolidate ourselves and grow even further. β
"What the first battalion commander said makes sense, according to our current strength, it is really difficult to defend several cities."
"Yes, we all agree."
When the military and political chiefs who were doing it saw Chen Jinghui asking a question, they immediately put forward their own views. The results are basically the same, they are all about expanding the army.
In fact, they didn't know that Chen Jinghui had this idea as early as after fighting Yongxiu. The reason why he wants everyone to express their opinions is that he wants the people below to use their brains about the form they are facing. Otherwise, they always think by themselves, if they are not in front of them one day, then they will become unassertive commanders, and there is only one consequence, that is, defeat. Therefore, he is also very relieved to see that everyone can see the most urgent issues at present.
"Well, you're right, what we're most lacking at the moment is manpower, so I've decided to expand the army. Let me now talk about the specific details of the military expansion. β
After a few words of praise, Cheng Jinghui said his intentions. And when those military and political chiefs heard this, they immediately stood up and stood upright.
"Sit down, everyone, and now I will read out the specific establishment after the expansion."

Person.

7. Locations of various troops.
Zhang Erzhu's first brigade was stationed in the Lion Rock base area, and a regiment was stationed in the military factory, responsible for the task of guarding the military factory, and the rest of the troops were responsible for guarding against the raid of devils in the direction of Jiujiang. Wang Dabao's Second Brigade was stationed in Wuning County, as well as the surrounding towns that had been occupied, to guard against devils from Nanchang and Yongxiu. Liu Changjiang's Third Brigade was stationed in De'an County to guard against Jiujiang, the airport, and the devils in Xingzi County.
LΓΌ Meng's artillery regiment, Sun Dezhong's guard regiment, and the field hospital directly under the division headquarters followed the division headquarters to station and seal the mouth.
All the special combat teams returned to the Lion Rock Special Operations Base for training, and they were not allowed to leave the camp without an order.
In addition, although we have expanded our army, our troops are still far from being reached. Therefore, the first thing the troops did when they arrived at their own stations was to quickly recruit troops and fill the gaps in their own troops. If the number is exceeded, more than the personnel will be sent to the seal, and I will arrange for people to agree to the training. Remember, training will begin as soon as the units are fully recruited, and I will be patrolling the various places from time to time.
"Okay, what do you have any objections?"
Chen Jinghui finished talking about the new establishment in one breath, and then asked everyone if they had different opinions.
"Report, obey the division commander's arrangement."
Everyone immediately stood up, and then collectively saluted Chen Jinghui, indicating that everyone obeyed the order unconditionally.
"Okay, since there is no objection from everyone, then after the meeting is over, everyone can lead the troops to their own station. Meeting. β
"Yes"
Everyone wanted Chen Jinghui, Chen Hu, and Lu Meng to say goodbye, and then quickly rush to their own troops, bring them to the new station, and quickly do a good job of defense work as quickly as possible.
"Uncle, seeing that there are more and more people in the army, and the courage on your shoulders is getting heavier and heavier, it's better to train a few deputies for yourself as soon as possible!"
"Don't worry, I'll pay attention to the search, otherwise I really won't be able to bear it."
"Hahaha...... Then hurry up, I'll go to Lao Hu's place and send me a telegram if there's anything. β
After caring about Chen Hu, he drove towards the military factory.
