"yes, two great things."

The boss sighed with emotion, Li Yunlong, this kid has made too many meritorious contributions recently, and he doesn't know how to reward him.

"According to Li Yunlong's merits, let alone a brigade commander, even a detachment commander is not too much."

"The key is that Li Yunlong himself doesn't want to be promoted to brigade commander, and he also said that if he is promoted to brigade commander, the assistance channel will be cut off, so now Li Yunlong is willing to be a regiment commander."

The Eighth Route Army has clear rewards and punishments, and the headquarters doesn't know how to reward Li Yunlong, and the boss also has a bit of a headache.

The chief of staff suggested: "Otherwise, find a base for Li Yunlong and let him take the troops out for development, and how many troops he can bring out depends on his own ability." ”

"I think the northwest of Shanxi is very suitable, since the main force of the 120th Division arrived in Jizhong, there are only some guerrillas in the northwest of Shanxi."

"Although the land in the northwest of Shanxi is poor, there are close to 2 million people in the entire northwest of Shanxi, which is still very promising for development."

"Moreover, the main forces of the 120th Division have been there for several years, the local mass base is also very good, and it is not difficult to carry out the work."

"With the ability of Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang, coupled with his assistance channel, there is no problem at all in revitalizing such a base area in the northwest of Shanxi."

"In less than a year, this kid Li Yunlong will definitely be able to pull out a team of tens of thousands of people, and it is also an ace team."

The chief of staff has always liked Li Yunlong, and he trusts Li Yunlong very much, and in the last sentence, he directly used an affirmative tone.

Tens of thousands of aces ...

The boss's eyes burst out with a gleam, and he couldn't help but be excited.

Now the combat effectiveness of the new regiment of several thousand people is already so strong, and the combat effectiveness of the ace team of tens of thousands of people is not inferior to that of the permanent divisions of the Japanese army.

No, it is certainly stronger than the combat effectiveness of the permanent divisions of the Japanese army.

Because it really reached that scale, Li Yunlong's troops would definitely be all equipped by major foreign military factories.

In terms of equipment, it must crush the Japanese army's permanent divisions and regiments, and in terms of the will to fight, the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army are no worse than the soldiers of the Japanese army's permanent divisions, and the firepower of individual soldiers is enough to make up for it.

If such a force is really raised, the situation in Shanxi as a whole will definitely be very different, and it will even affect the situation of the anti-Japanese war in the whole country.

"But..."The boss said in a worried tone: "This kid dares to do anything, and as soon as he puts the reins on him, I'm afraid that this kid will poke out the big basket." ”

Li Yunlong likes to do things and gives him too much autonomy, this kid pats his head one day and leads his troops to attack Taiyuan, and when the time comes, the battle situation will affect the whole body.

After all, the overall strength of the Eighth Route Army and the Japanese army is still too different, and it may suffer a big loss.

"Boss, you're too worried."

The division commander lifted his glasses and said with a smile: "In the past, there was no one around Li Yunlong who could manage him, this kid wanted to play a game, and now there is a Zhao Gang by his side, Li Yunlong has made some small mistakes at most, Li Yunlong's performance has been very good this year, and it is harmless to make a little mistake occasionally, and his thinking has made great progress, for the development of our Eighth Route Army, he voluntarily did not promote to brigade commander, and now his self-centeredness is gone, whether it is the weapons and ammunition captured or earned from business, they will be handed over to their superiors at the first time. ”

"I believe that with Zhao Gang watching him by his side, this kid will make some small mistakes at most, and he won't be able to poke out a big basket."

"I admit it." The boss nodded: "This year, Li Yunlong has made great progress. ”

"Since you both think so, let's take a good look at this."

"But even if the new regiment wants to go to the northwest of Jin, it will have to wait for this Japanese sweep, after all, Li Yunlong's new regiment is the trump card of our Eighth Route Army."

With Li Yunlong's new regiment here, the boss will be sure to fight the next anti-sweeping operation.

Li Yunlong's new regiment has strong combat effectiveness, and the boss is also very easy to use.

As long as a Japanese counter-sweep is repulsed, according to the previous law, it will be difficult for the Japanese army to organize another sweep within two or three months.

"Speaking of the next sweep."

The chief of staff suddenly asked, "Boss, do you have any ideas?" ”

"I have an idea."

"It's just not mature."

The boss said: "Now our artillery firepower is no worse than that of the Japanese army, the artillery shells are quite sufficient, the ammunition is relatively sufficient, and the strategy and tactics can be changed." ”

"Boss, what do you mean..."

"Our 129th Division will have a frontal battle with a Japanese division?"

The division commander quickly reacted and looked at the boss.

"That's right!" The boss nodded, his eyes calm.

The boss is such a combat style, not afraid of fighting tough battles and vicious battles, belonging to the "narrow road meets the brave wins", highlighting the word "brave".

This Li Yunlong is very similar to the boss.

The Battle of the Hundred Regiments was launched by the boss at the expense of exposing the Eighth Route Army's hole cards.

Now the 129th Division has a relatively solid family foundation, and it can completely work head-on with the 1st division of the little devil.

The Chief of Staff also said:

"In the game, whoever exposes his hole cards first will be at a disadvantage."

"At present, the Japanese army may not know our artillery firepower."

"Although doing so will expose the hole cards in advance, I think it's worth it, didn't ya ask how many more battles like the White Regiment War could be waged?"

"Because other military regions have not yet recovered, they can't launch the Battle of the Hundred Regiments for the time being, but... A battle like Dagouwan can be launched a few times. ”

The boss nodded and said, "The chief of staff and I want to go together, and you can also let Li Yunlong act as the commander, and the weapons and ammunition of the battle commanded by him can be reimbursed." ”

Although the Eighth Route Army now has more than 200 artillery pieces of more than 70 mm, except for the new regiment, the shells of other artillery units cannot be replenished.

The shells were finished and there was no place to replenish them, and this situation inevitably led to the reluctance of the artillerymen to open fire.

However, with Li Yunlong in command, this problem is not a problem.

Moreover, Li Yunlong's channels not only reimburse ammunition, but also damaged weapons.

The weapons and ammunition consumed by tens of thousands of fighters were quickly replenished.

It's very comfortable.

"That's commanding tens of thousands of people to fight."

The division commander's tone was worried: "Can Li Yunlong afford to pick up this big beam, and he commands so many troops with one regiment commander, the impact is not good?" ”

"I don't think there's a problem." The boss said, "With a few of us giving him the fire, he can't afford to take the lead." ”

"Also, this time Li Yunlong has made two great contributions, and he can be upgraded to the brigade level."

The chief of staff said: "I don't think there is any problem with the brigade-level treatment of commanding tens of thousands of people, and he can also cultivate his ability to command tens of thousands of people in advance in advance." ”

"Okay." The division commander nodded and said, "I have no opinion, but before that, let Li Yunlong communicate with the other party to see if the other party is willing to do this, after all, the consumption of this weapon and ammunition is not a small amount." ”

Howitzers, mountain guns and artillery shells, as well as communications equipment, were quickly delivered to headquarters.

After the brigade commander applied, he himself also left 4 howitzers and 8 mountain guns.

Now the brigade commander's artillery regiment has also become a reinforced artillery regiment, and there are 13 howitzers and 23 mountain guns handed over to the headquarters, which add up to just one artillery regiment.

Following the establishment of a new artillery school in the 129th Division, several more crash courses in communications were added to the battalion school, and soldiers with higher education were selected in each department to learn to receive and receive telegrams.

He also requested additional telegraphers and decoders from the Ya Kang Da, and the Eighth Route Army soon realized that each regiment was equipped with one radio station.

Organizationally, it was necessary to build an artillery school in YA, and the head of the General Headquarters sent people to YA the batch of Jin-building artillery regiments that had been eliminated, so as to provide artillery personnel for various military regions.

One mountain artillery regiment of the artillery brigade directly under the headquarters was sent to the YA, and it happened that the number of artillery regiments of the artillery brigade directly under the headquarters increased instead of decreasing.

Moreover, the artillery brigades directly under the headquarters have all been turned into German-style 105 howitzers and American-style 75 mountain guns, and the artillery shells are abundant, and the combat effectiveness is no longer the same.

But that's all for another time.

……

"Lao Li, congratulations."

"The headquarters has promoted your treatment to the level of brigade commander."

In Yang Village, in the inner room of the new regiment headquarters, Zhao Gang was sincerely happy after reading the documents issued by the headquarters in his hand.

The red stamp on the document is very new, indicating that the steel stamp has only been stamped for a short time.

Unlike the old warlords represented by the Nationalist Army, the Eighth Route Army did not have a military salary, but in November 1937, the Eighth Route Army Headquarters clearly stipulated the allowance standards for personnel at all levels.

The monthly allowance is 4 yuan for regiment-level cadres and 4.5 yuan for brigade-level cadres.

This means that although Li Yunlong is still the head of the regiment, his monthly allowance has increased by 0.5 yuan.

"Haha... Rejoice and rejoice. ”

The corners of Li Yunlong's mouth curled, and now our old Li is already a brigade-level treatment.

In the future, no matter whether it is a brigade commander, a division commander, or a headquarters commander, we cannot casually remove Lao Li from his post.

As before, if you were ordered to go to the brigade headquarters to carry the cauldron, go to the division headquarters to feed the horses, and go to the headquarters to lead the horses, there will be no such thing.

Although the allowance of 0.5 yuan is nothing, it can make Li Yunlong's ass sit more firmly in the position of the head of the new regiment.

Zhao Gang picked up the second document issued by the headquarters:

"This is the commendation of the sword squadron by the headquarters, and the sword squadron recorded a collective special merit and awarded Comrade Lu Yingjun the title of first-class combat hero."

"Rank 1 Battle Hero?" Li Yunlong's expression was surprised.

The Sword Squadron recorded a collective special merit, which was expected by Li Yunlong, but Lu Yingjun really didn't expect it to win the first-class combat hero.

First-class merit is not the same as first-class combat heroes, the latter is much more difficult to obtain than the former.

"It should be the time to report, and the artillery, shells, and radio stations that made from this business are also counted on the heads of Lu Yingjun and the Sword Squadron."

Li Yunlong reacted quickly.

"It should be." Zhao Gang nodded, the battle was fought by the Sword Squadron, and it was commanded by Lu Yingjun, so it was reasonable to count the share of the business earned on the head of the Sword Squadron.

These cannons and shells can kill hundreds of enemies on the battlefield, and these 105 radio stations can solve the communication problems of more than 100 infantry regiments of the Eighth Route Army.

These 105 radio stations, artillery and artillery shells alone are two great achievements, not to mention the total annihilation of Japanese pilots, the snatching of 9 combat vehicles, the destruction of 11 Japanese aircraft, and the killing of more than 400 Japanese puppet soldiers.

"Well deserved."

Zhao Gang's expression was extremely satisfied, and he continued: "In order to ensure that the sword squadron is not exposed, the headquarters will not reward it with an army-wide notice. ”

"It's for the best."

Li Yunlong naturally has no opinion, the sword squadron is a trump card in his hand, and it is best for the devil to not know the reality of the sword squadron.

After this limelight, let the sword squadron give the devil a big ticket.
