"Lao Li, you're talking about reclaiming wasteland to grow food, and our group is already doing it." Zhao Gang thought that Li Yunlong was talking about the reclamation of wasteland, and there was really no way to expand this, you must know that although their regiment had a large number of troops, there was not much time left except for training.

It is already a little difficult to take care of the cultivated land that has already been reclaimed, and it is absolutely impossible to expand the area of reclamation.

After all, the land needs to be planted, weededed, fertilized, watered, .......

"Don't worry, Lao Zhao, that's not what I'm talking about. What I'm saying is that while the devil's strength is damaged now and there is no time to take care of anything else, we must take the initiative to attack and expand the base area. ”

"Disperse our troops, except for the county seat, we will occupy the rest of the rural areas."

"There are a total of eight townships under Ping'an County, and we now have four battalions, my idea is this, divide each battalion into two, split it into two battalions, and then one battalion will be stationed in one township."

Hearing Li Yunlong's words, although Zhao Gang felt good, he was still a little worried in his heart, after all, according to Li Yunlong's wishes, all the troops were sent out, what if something happened to the regiment headquarters.

The distance is too far, and even if you want to transfer the troops back, you won't be able to catch up with the time. So Zhao Gang frowned and said, "Lao Li, although your idea is good, have you ever thought about the safety of the regiment headquarters?" In case the devil comes, can we resist it? ”

"Lao Zhao, I have also thought about the question you raised, so do it, the guard platoon directly under the regiment headquarters has been expanded into a guard company, plus the elite squad, how to say that there are three or four hundred people, and we are stationed in the mountains, easy to defend and difficult to attack, even if the devil faction has more troops, they will not want to take us down for a while, we can fully support the arrival of the troops. Li Yunlong explained to Zhao Gang: "Besides, our group of 10,000 people, all of them are not a way to shrink here, the logistical pressure alone is enough for us to have a headache, after all, the place here is too small, no matter how many people there are, we have to go out sooner or later, we just advanced the time a little earlier." ”

"You've thought about it and asked me what I'm doing, are you making fun of me?" Hearing Li Yunlong's words, Zhao Gang pretended to be angry and said.

He found that what Li Yunlong said was quite right. It's okay for a new clump to huddle together now, but everything has to be forward. According to the development trend of the new regiment in the past, it was a matter of time before the troops expanded, and it was inevitable for the troops to reach a certain level and go out.

"Okay, then I'll give you an agreement, and I'll call Zhang Dabiao and them back for a meeting in the evening to talk about it." Li Yunlong didn't care, and said to Zhao Gang with a smile.

But just as Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang were talking, the new group ushered in two uninvited guests, they were Ding Wei and Kong Jie.

Before the man could enter the house, a voice came.

"Lao Li, the old comrades-in-arms came over, and they didn't say anything to greet them, what's the matter, don't you want the two of us to come?" Ding Wei and Kong Jie shouted as they walked into the house.

"Hey, hey, Lao Ding and Lao Kong are here, Lao Zhao, you go and talk to the chef class, let them cook a few good dishes, bring some canned meat and canned fruit that we seized, and have a drink with them later." Li Yunlong got up and walked out after saying to Zhao Gang: "You two are not outsiders, and you still use our old Li to come out to greet you personally?" ”

After speaking, Li Yunlong accompanied the two to the house and chatted while drinking tea.

After a while, the cooking class was ready to serve the meal.

"Lao Ding, Lao Kong, how many devils did you two kill this time, and how much fortune did you make?" Li Yunlong asked with some curiosity while pouring wine for the two.

Hearing Li Yunlong's inquiry, Kong Jie said: "Hey, it's definitely not as rich as you Li Yunlong, our independent regiment has eliminated more than 800 devils this time, and seized almost two battalions of weapons and equipment, that is, the food seized is relatively small, and I won't hide it from you, I came here this time, mainly to ask for help from your old Li, it's not a secret, if there is no harvest, our independent regiment is afraid that it will starve." ”

This can't be blamed on Kong Jie, the devil didn't bring too much food when he went to support Ping'an County, even if all of them were captured by the independent regiment, they would last a few more days, and such a little material could not solve the problem at all.

Now the only way is to borrow from Li Yunlong, after all, everyone knows that Li Yunlong has made a fortune now, on the way here, he has already asked Ding Wei, although the situation of the new second regiment is better than that of the independent regiment, but the food is just enough for his own food, and he can't support the independent regiment at all.

So now all Kong Jie's hopes fall on Li Yunlong, if Li Yunlong doesn't help, he can only lead the troops to find the devil and ask for it.

But in this way, it is bound to cause heavy casualties to the independent regiment, after all, this is not the same as the previous ambush battle.

The devil's stronghold is not so easy to attack, and this is not a problem that can be solved by attacking one or two strongholds, but if there are more operations, the devil will inevitably take precautions, and maybe give the independent regiment an ambush at that time.

Hearing Kong Jie's words, Li Yunlong turned to look at Zhao Gang on the side, after all, Li Yunlong was only responsible for fighting in the new regiment, and Zhao Gang was responsible for managing the logistics, and he really didn't know the logistics situation in his regiment.

Seeing Li Yunlong looking at himself, Zhao Gang couldn't continue to be silent, if he wanted to say whether the new regiment could help the independent regiment, he would definitely be able to, although the logistics reserves of the new regiment were not very rich, but don't forget, the new regiment had more than 10,000 people.

Just save a little, it is enough for the independent regiment to eat for a month, besides, Li Yunlong has decided to disperse the troops. At that time, each battalion will have its own base area, and the regimental headquarters will only be responsible for the logistics in the early stage.

In this way, it is completely okay to support the independent regiment, so Zhao Gang said: "Where is Commander Kong, what do you say to Lao Li and Commander Ding, you are also a brother in the trenches. Besides, now in the southwest of Shanxi, we will have three troops. In any way, it is incumbent upon us to help the Independent Mission. Maybe in the future, we will have to trouble you with the new regiment. ”

Hearing Zhao Gang's words, Kong Jie hurriedly got up and was drunk and dried, and then thanked excitedly: "Don't say anything, in the future, the new group will only respond to something, even if it is up the mountain and down the sea of fire, I, Kong Jie, will never frown." ”

"Hey, hey, I said you Kong Er was stunned, can you not be so sensational, just for the sake of food?" Li Yunlong quipped beside him.

"This is not a trivial matter, don't you know, Lao Li, for the sake of food, I have been worried about my hair for this time." Kong Jie knew that Li Yunlong didn't say this to laugh at him, so he didn't care about his old comrades-in-arms for more than ten years, he still knew who Li Yunlong was, otherwise the relationship between the three of them would not be so good.

At this time, Ding Wei on the side opened his mouth and said: "Okay, since Lao Kong's problem is solved, let's talk about what to do next, this time our three regiments have bullied the little devil a lot, but when the little devil recovers, he will definitely retaliate .........against us." ”

But before Ding Wei could finish speaking, Li Yunlong interrupted: "So we can't give the little devil a chance, while the devil's strength is damaged now and we can't do anything, we have to seize the opportunity to take advantage of his illness to kill ......." ”

"Lao Li, what do you mean ......, and you still want to do it to the little devil?" Kong Jie asked in surprise.

He originally wanted to take it when he saw it, although the logistics materials captured by their regiment in this battle were not very many, but there were still a lot of weapons and ammunition, he wanted to take advantage of this time to pay close attention to training, and wait for the autumn harvest to expand the troops, and try not to engage in a head-on conflict with the devils first. But he didn't expect Li Yunlong to do the opposite, and continue to make trouble with devils.

Hearing Li Yunlong's words, Ding Wei looked at him with some curiosity, mainly because Li Yunlong had similar thoughts to him, that is, to take advantage of his illness to kill him, after all, the opportunity that was finally seized, if he waited for the devil to recover, it would not be easy to take action.

Although there are difficulties of one kind or another on his side now, the devil is even more difficult than himself, so there is nothing to be afraid of. But he just didn't know what Li Yunlong's next move would be, so Ding Wei didn't rush to speak, but looked at him, wanting to hear what Li Yunlong would say next.

Hearing Kong Jie's words, Li Yunlong got up and took out the map from the cabinet, then tidied up the kang table and spread it on the table.

"No matter what happens to your two regiments next, anyway, our new regiment won't do anything, I plan to occupy Ping'an County, except for the county seat, rely on the vast countryside, carry out a reverse blockade of the devils, and trap the little devils in the county seat." Li Yunlong pointed to the location of Ping'an County and said to the two.

"Lao Li, although the idea is good, does the new group have this strength? With such a large area, it will definitely not work if there are fewer troops, and maybe they will be eaten one by one by the little devils. Ding Wei stared at the map and said with a frown.

Although I know that the new regiment is strong, but after this battle, the losses must not be small, and Ping'an County is the largest among the nearby counties, and the troops are too scattered if they are small, and they will do bad things with good intentions and be found by devils.

But Ding Wei's words, Li Yunlong didn't care, but continued: "I plan to split the four battalions of our regiment and split them into eight battalions, and there are exactly eight townships in Ping'an County, and one battalion is stationed in one township, even if the devils want to break through one by one, we have enough time to reinforce." ”

"Besides, when we create a target and occupy all the places except the county seat, even if the little devil wants to make a move, he will not have this opportunity, as long as the devil goes out of the city, he will definitely be discovered by us, and we have enough time to deploy troops."

After speaking, Li Yunlong smiled and looked at the two old comrades-in-arms, he had already thought of this kind of thing, and he also thought of a way to deal with it.

As long as you create this strategic goal, every move of the little devil will be under your nose at that time.

And he is not unprepared, he plans to build permanent fortifications around the county seat at that time, even if the little devil plans to fight hard, Li Yunlong is not afraid at all.

After all, the strength of the army is superior, and relying on the fortifications, even if the devil's individual strength is stronger than his own, as the defensive side, the advantage must be on his side, and it is not himself who is afraid at that time, but the devil, as long as he dares to make himself angry, he will attack the county seat.

"Lao Li, you are under a big banner, eight battalions, my good man, you really dare, I know that you Li Yunlong has made a fortune, I didn't expect you to make such a fortune." Hearing Li Yunlong's words, Kong Jie didn't know what to say.

Look at Li Yunlong looking at himself, he is also the head of the regiment, and he is still a regular regiment.

Why is there such a big gap in strength, originally Kong Jie thought that he had a regiment of 3,000 people, not to mention in the 386th Brigade, even in the 129th Division, it was a proper main force.

But it can't be compared with Li Yunlong's new regiment at all, he has three battalions, but he has eight battalions. Although Li Yunlong's position is still that of the regiment commander, there is actually a reduced number of troops in the division.

In time, I can't imagine what the new group will become.

And Ding Wei was stunned when he heard Li Yunlong's words, this Li Yunlong's thoughts coincided with him, Ding Wei also thought so, but he didn't think as big as Li Yunlong, after all, the strength of the new second regiment is here.

According to his thoughts, in the next period of time, the new second regiment will definitely expand the area of its base area, take two or three townships and towns, and make its strategic depth a little bigger, so that even if the devils slow down and want to attack their new second regiment in the future, the new second regiment will have enough room for detours.

The three of them chatted while drinking, and the time was unconsciously at night, and Li Yunlong originally planned to call Zhang Dabiao and them over for a meeting at night to discuss the next deployment.

But I didn't expect Ding Wei and Kong Jie to come back, the three of them drank a lot, and except for the sentries standing guard, everyone went back to the house to rest, so they could only wait for tomorrow to come back for a meeting.

…………

At noon the next day, the regimental headquarters of the new regiment.

Li Yunlong saw that the people who came were almost there, so he asked everyone to sit down, and then took out the map.

"Commander, what do you want to say directly?" Zhang Dabiao spoke first.

Hearing the voice, Li Yunlong glanced at Zhang Dabiao angrily, and then said slowly: "Call everyone over today, there is an important thing to announce, now our regiment has a total of four battalions, I discussed it with Political Commissar Zhao, and planned to split each battalion into two battalions...... ”

Hearing Li Yunlong's words, the battalion commanders below were stunned for a moment, not knowing why the regiment commander did this.

Of course, they are reluctant to split the troops, after all, no one wants to see the team they have worked so hard to bring out make wedding dresses for others, and their former subordinates will be equal to themselves in the future.
