In fact, the most difficult part of dealing with the stronghold of the little devil is that the fortifications such as turrets and pillboxes built by the stronghold of the devil are extremely strong, and if you want to force them from the outside, unless you have a strong artillery with enough shells and enough power.

This is almost the only means without taking shortcuts.

But in the early days of the Anti-Japanese War, the Eighth Route Army was outdated in equipment and ammunition was scarce.

Not to mention the artillery that attacked the fortified positions, two or three people couldn't even carry a gun, and they couldn't hold a few bullets in their pockets.

Many of the main regiments don't even have a single grenadier, so what can they do to hit the devil's turrets and pillboxes?

Therefore, in the early days of the Anti-Japanese War, the anti-Japanese armed forces fought the most difficult.

The cage policy implemented by the devils to blockade the base areas of the Eighth Route Army, and the large number of strongholds, turrets, and pillboxes built often gave the soldiers a headache, but they were helpless.

The Japanese army stationed a squad of troops in a stronghold at will, and when it was well-equipped and full of gunpowder, it could even block the attack of a battalion of the Eighth Route Army.

In order to gain a stronghold, the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army often paid a heavy price for casualties.

But that's no longer the case.

It's like Wang Shoucheng said.

"Gone are the hard days when we used to use earthen guns and earth cannons to deal with the devil's stronghold turrets!

This is with the development of equipment, the improvement of military literacy, and the absolute self-confidence of soldiers in military affairs.

Feel the relaxed atmosphere that suddenly fills the headquarters.

Looking at the confident looks on the faces of the cadres, Kong Jie nodded with a smile: "Okay, Shoucheng, I want you to prepare in advance after you go back, including the ammunition reserve for the follow-up artillery needed for the operation, and the fuel carrying reserve."

Your mechanized combat battalion must be ready for long-distance raids, reinforcements, and combat at any time! ”

"Yes!"

Wang Shouchen said with a piercing gaze: "Regiment commander, the soldiers of our whole battalion are waiting for your order!" ”

After Wang Shoucheng turned around and left, when the regiment headquarters continued to study the next pre-war preparations, Kong Jie proposed again: "This time it is still the old rule, since we want to take the opportunity to defeat the big stronghold of the devils in the northwest of Shanxi, I am afraid it is not good for us to eat alone in one regiment."

Lao Ding, and Lao Li's side, we have to notify us in advance.

Including the 771st Regiment and the 772nd Regiment, we can't leave the handle behind, saying that we only care about our old comrades-in-arms, and ignore the feelings of other regiment commanders. ”

Xu Guoan said with a smile: "Lao Kong, it's rare for you to be generous!" ”

Kong Jie said: "That's what I said, this time let's attack the devil's stronghold, this cake is big enough, more people will eat it, we can still eat a belly."

This made the people gather wood and the flame was high.

This time, the more people the better, the more we can take advantage of the opportunity, and the little devil who beats him is careless. ”

After making up his mind, the news was quickly conveyed through the command headquarters of the detachment to the new 1st Regiment and the new 2nd Regiment, including some newly formed regiments and the old combat regiments of the 386th Brigade.

Anyway, all the regiments of the Eighth Route Army in the northwest border of Shanxi basically know about it.

At this time.

Headquarters of the new 2nd Regiment.

When Li Yunlong was studying the mechanized combat unit built by the first detachment at the headquarters, he jumped to his feet with envy: "Hey, damn it, Lao Zhao, this mechanized combat unit, our new second regiment must also be built!" ”

"Tell me, why does this kid Lao Kong have so many ideas? He was the first to set up this mechanized combat unit. ”

When it comes to the mechanized combat battalion led by Wang Shoucheng, Lao Li is quite salivating:

"Hula came with reinforcements all of a sudden, the armored car, the car, the motorcycle, all kinds of vehicles, all kinds of machine guns were added to the car, and even the howitzers were installed, suddenly appeared in a certain area, and directly started the battle, and the little devils were completely stunned!"

Li Yunlong smacked his lips with envy: "Lao Zhao, such a mechanized combat unit with high-speed mobility and firepower configuration is too suitable for our Lao Li's combat style."

If only we had such a mechanized combat unit.

Lao Tzu turned around and looked for an opportunity to directly knock down Taiyuan City! ”

Zhao Gang: "......"

"Lao Li, why are you still talking more and more boundless?

Lao Kong has created a mechanized combat unit, but the little devil also has a mechanized combat squadron, and the devil also has a flight unit that may be reinforced at any time, which is a great threat to our mechanized combat troops.

In addition, the foundation of our new second regiment is not as good as that of the previous detachment, and there are not so many mechanized combat vehicles.

What kind of mechanized combat unit do you want to build? I'm afraid it's not that easy! ”

Li Yunlong retorted: "We don't have it, but Kong Er is stunned!"

This old Kong is very rich, let's ask him for a hundred and ten combat vehicles, he Lao Kong can't refuse, right?

There are always more ways than difficulties, how can we living people be suffocated to death by urine?

If you can't get armored cars, you can get some cars, you can't get cars, you can get some motorcycles, if you can't even get motorcycles, Lao Tzu just gets some war horses and bicycles to come out, and still build a mechanized combat force. ”

This reminded Li Yunlong of Ding Wei's new bicycle team.

Actually, that's kind of what it means.

In addition, the tank company built by Li Yunlong's new Second Regiment also has high mobility and destructive power.

It's just that compared with the mechanized combat ushered in by a team, the ability to adapt to complex environments is relatively poor.

The more he talked, the more excited Li Yunlong soon couldn't bear it, and he immediately shouted: "No, I have to go to the team to find Lao Kong in person!" ”

"Huzi!"

"Here!"

"You go get a motorcycle, let's go to the team."

"Yes!"

Soon, the guard Huzi took Li Yunlong on the way to the headquarters of a detachment.

Nowadays, with the development of the three regiments in the Iron Triangle in the northwest of Shanxi, the three regiments are more closely connected with each other.

Kong Jie even asked the Migrant Workers Corps to build some relatively flat and comfortable roads along the transportation corridors between each other in the Iron Triangle.

In addition, there are some transport vehicles owned by each regiment, plus a steady stream of fuel that can be imported from Yan'an.

Sitting in the co-pilot of a three-wheeled motorcycle, Lao Li, wearing a military hat, his hair with a brim of the hat fluttering in the wind, it was called a pleasant.

"In the future, if the army really develops, everyone has a motorcycle, and those war horses in our team, old guys, can also have a good rest!"

Li Yunlong sighed with emotion, watching the scenery on both sides continue to recede.

In the past, although the three defense areas of the Iron Triangle in the northwest of Shanxi Province were not too far away, they were thirty or forty kilometers away, and if they relied on two legs, they would probably have to run for half a day.

But now it's different, flat and comfortable roads, plus military motorcycles that can easily reach a speed of fifty or sixty kilometers at this time.

In less than an hour, Li Yunlong would be able to appear at the headquarters of the first team and talk to Kong Jie.

Headquarters.

Looking at Li Yunlong, who arrived in a hurry, Kong Jie was a little stunned.

"Lao Li, why do you have the spare time to come to me?"

"Lao Tzu misses his old comrades-in-arms, come and see you Lao Kong, what's the matter, don't you welcome?" Li Yunlong laughed twice, and said with a mouth full of fire.

Kong Jiele said: ", Lao Li, if I remember correctly, at the meeting of the brigade headquarters three days ago, didn't we still meet?"

If you don't see you for three days, you can miss me, and you run this trip, ghost letter! ”

"Haha, Lao Kong, why don't you say you kid can't stand a joke? Well, let's get down to business, I heard that your Lao Kong is preparing to deal with the big stronghold of the Japanese army in the northwest region of Jin? ”

Li Yunlong put the topic on the right track.

Kong Jie nodded: "Not bad!" ”

"No, Lao Li, haven't I already asked the correspondent to pass this news to you?"

Li Yunlong smiled: "Yes, the news was received, didn't I come here for this!" ”

"Just because of this, can you make a trip to Captain Li himself?" Kong Jie was suspicious.

"What about Wang Shoucheng? Why didn't I see that kid? Li Yunlong shouted with a grin.

"What did you see Wang Shoucheng doing?"

"The last time my new second regiment attacked the Huting stronghold, it was Wang Shoucheng's kid who came to help with the mechanized combat battalion, and our Lao Li hasn't thanked them in person!"

Kong Jie scolded with a smile: "Lao Li, then aren't you pretending to be blind with a lantern and fooling ghosts?"

If you want to thank you for this, then you should thank us too!

Let's send out the mechanized combat battalion and reinforce you to take the tiger stronghold, you owe us a favor for this! ”

Li Yunlong scolded: "Okay, you are stunned, and you still mention this stubble!" Lao Tzu worked hard to build the stronghold of Huting, and as a result, the seized materials and ammunition, including those equipment snatched from the 57th Regiment, which did not benefit you? ”

Ahem cough cough –

Kong Jie said with a smile: "As the saying goes, brothers settle accounts. Lao Li, this matter is what you and I want. ”

"I'm reluctant!" Speaking of this, Li Yunlong even doubted: "Lao Kong, I said that you deliberately brought the 57th Regiment of the Jin Sui Army to the Yang Chongshan to take over from the Huting stronghold."

Shouldn't it be early in the morning, and you want to borrow our Lao Li's hand to pit that old boy, right? ”

How could Kong Jie admit this, his face did not change and said: "Heaven and earth conscience, I haven't thought about this."

Who would have thought that you, Lao Li, would take advantage of the fire to rob? ”

The two old comrades-in-arms laughed for a while.

Li Yunlong saw that Kong Jie was pretending to be doing Tai Chi, so he had to honestly tell his true intentions for this trip.

"I need some mechanized combat vehicles, the kind with strong mobility, such as armored vehicles, military cars, military motorcycles, etc., the more the better."

"Lao Li, you are ......"

"Build a mechanized combat unit belonging to my new second regiment." Li Yunlong, who was no longer hiding, said directly.

Kong Jiele said: "Hey, good you old Li, you want to build a mechanized combat unit, I have no objection to this, but you came to me to ask for a mechanized combat vehicle, what does this mean?" ”

Li Yunlong snorted twice.

"Lao Kong, you kid is also from the countryside, you should always know the rules of our countryside, if the poor households really can't eat, should you know who they will find to solve the problem?"

"Looking for whom?" Kong Jie asked.

"Whoever has money and who has food, look for whomever you want!" Li Yunlong said.

Kong Jie: "......"

"I've become a big dog with me?"

Li Yunlong said: "Who else can there be besides you Lao Kong?" In our Eighth Route Army over the years, your team has developed the fastest.

If you have to pick out a landlord from our Eighth Route Army team, it must be your old Kong! ”

Kong Jie said with a smile: "Lao Li, look at what you said, my team is up and down, which bullet and grain are not produced by our hard work?"

With your opening, Lao Tzu has to send you the mechanized combat vehicle you want, Baba's?

Aren't you better than our brigade commander? ”

Li Yunlong was choked by these words, and when he mentioned the brigade commander, it was full of tears!

As soon as the old brigade commander spoke, even through the phone, it was really something.

This is something that he Lao Li can't envy.

Li Yunlong began to tell his true thoughts: "Lao Kong, this mechanized combat unit you built, I have to say, it really set a precedent for our Eighth Route Army troops.

When attacking the stronghold of Huting, the combat effectiveness of this mechanized combat unit, our Lao Li personally felt it.

Damn, that's not bad!

So, I was thinking, such a rapid reaction force, if it is only a few infantry attached to us, is actually not very efficient.

This is like the tank cluster tactic we have discussed, which is much more powerful than three or five tanks fighting with infantry.

Therefore, I think that it is better to build a complete rapid reaction force than to make a few mechanized combat units in a small fight.

Eventually, the operational scope of this rapid reaction force can even include the entire northwest of Shanxi and even a larger region. ”

Hearing this, Kong Jie was indeed stunned, "Lao Li, what role do you want to play in the middle?" ”

Hahaha –

At this time, Li Yunlong smiled a little embarrassedly and said, "Lao Kong, I'll tell you the truth!"

This is fighting with conventional infantry, we Lao Li have been fighting for so many years, it has long been not rare, and now we want to taste something rare.

Think about it, if one day our Lao Li can become the commander of the rapid reaction field army directly under our Taihang base area, how energetic it will be! ”

Kong Jie was a little dumbfounded and said, "Okay, you old Li, what you think is quite beautiful."

Listening to your tone, is this preparing to build your new second regiment into a complete rapid reaction force? ”

Li Yunlong said happily: "A mechanized combat regiment? Where is this? Our Lao Li also wants to build a mechanized combat brigade and a mechanized combat division! ”

"Yes, Lao Li, then this matter is simple, you just go back to your new second regiment, and then find a bed and quilt to sleep."

"What do you mean?" Li Yunlong blinked.

"Dreaming!" Kong Jiedao.

Li Yunlong choked, "Damn, Lao Kong, I'll talk to you about business!" ”

"Benefits?"

"Ah???h

"I say good! I'll help you build a mechanized combat unit, and even provide you with a large number of mechanized combat vehicles, Lao Li, you have to give me the same value benefits, right? Kong Jie said.

Looking at Kong Jie, who was stretching out his hand, Li Yunlong suddenly felt a little toothache.

Sure enough, it's not the old hole of a few years ago, it's not true.

Talking about business with this guy is like playing with an old and slick profiteer, and accidentally putting himself in.

Lao Li, who will do business in his mother's womb and never does loss-making business, suddenly felt that he might smash the golden signboard here today.

But who calls himself to ask for help?

In desperation, Li Yunlong had no choice but to ask: "Okay, Lao Kong, as long as you can help me build this rapid reaction force, what conditions do you have, as long as our Lao Li can do it, there is no ambiguity." ”

"Happy!"

Kong Jie laughed, his smile quite bright......
