Li Yunlong is a resolute character.

But he was in a quandled situation at the moment.

Grand Master Li was entangled in the fact that one air support was a group of 30 bombers and 10 fighters.

The advantage is that if it is used properly, it can kill one wing of devils at a time, and it can also kill one team of devils at a time.

The disadvantage is that it is disposable, and it is gone when it is used up.

The last time air support was called was in the NSW campaign at the end of August.

At the moment, the new regiment has one more opportunity to call for air support, and the time is more than two months later.

And if you exchange it for 4 203mm heavy howitzers, the disadvantage is that the number is a bit small, and there is a high probability that you will have to hand over 2 to the headquarters.

If the price is 12 203mm heavy howitzers, Li Yunlong will not hesitate to choose 203mm heavy howitzers.

The advantage of exchanging for a 203mm heavy howitzer is that it can continue to fight, and even if the heavy howitzer is destroyed by the enemy in battle, Boss Chen will also reimburse it.

So, the disadvantage of exchanging air support is that it is one-time, but the benefits are large.

The disadvantages of exchanging heavy howitzers are that the number is small, and the short-term benefits are small, but the benefits are sustainable, and in the long run, the benefits are not small and stable.

"Tell me, kill this Major General Miura Saburo, should we change air support, or 4 howitzers?"

Li Yunlong, who has always been decisive, didn't know how to choose at this time, so he looked at Zhao Gang, Wang Dehou and Xing Zhiguo and asked:

"Everyone has discussed it and spoke freely, our Eighth Route Army pays attention to military democracy."

When he said this, Li Yunlong's face was not red and his heart was not beating, and he even picked up the bowl and drank saliva.

Zhao Gang, Wang Dehou and Xing Zhiguo smiled slightly, they all knew that Li Yunlong must be in trouble, if he wanted to exchange something, he would directly decide by himself, and he would ask their opinions?

Zhao Gang said: "My opinion is that in exchange for 4 B4 heavy howitzers, don't we have one more air support?" Why don't you change to 4 heavy howitzers this time? ”

Wang Dehou nodded and said, "I agree with Political Commissar Zhao's opinion. ”

Li Yunlong nodded, then looked at Xing Zhiguo and asked, "Old Xing, what is your opinion?" ”

"I agree with the opinions of Political Commissar Zhao and Chief of Staff Wang." Xing Zhiguo said, "However, since you are entangled in what to choose, I have a way to get the best of both worlds." ”

Li Yunlong hurriedly asked, "What way?" ”

Even Zhao Gang and Chief of Staff Wang looked at Xing Zhiguo with anticipation.

"Commander, aren't you going to fight Datong?"

Xing Zhiguo smiled slightly:

"Garrisoned in Datong is the remnants of the 3rd Brigade of the Japanese Army, although the 3rd Brigade has been disabled by us, but the commander of the 3rd Brigade is still a major general."

"As long as we kill the commander of the 3rd Brigade, won't we have one more choice?"

"When the time comes, the regiment commander, whether you want to choose 8 heavy howitzers or two air support, or 4 heavy howitzers and one air support, there will be no problem."

When Li Yunlong heard this, his eyes couldn't help but light up slightly.

Yes, there is a major general in Datong, wouldn't there be one more choice to kill him?

Li Yunlong asked: "The commander of the 3rd Brigade, is it still the devil named Masao Miyazaki?" ”

"It's not him anymore." Wang Dehou said, "After the battle of Baozi Mountain, the old devil Miyazaki Masao was dismissed and is now the deputy chief of staff of the First Army. ”

Li Yunlong asked again: "Then who is the commander of the 3rd Brigade now?" ”

Since defeating the 36th Division, the 3rd Brigade was wiped out by Li Yunlong leading his troops to rescue Chu Yunfei, and Li Yunlong didn't take the 3rd Brigade to heart.

Wang Dehou replied: "It seems that it is called to see Yin Sanxiong again, and I don't know where he was transferred." ”

"I remember." Li Yunlong's eyes showed a look of reminiscence, "At the beginning, labor and management led their troops from Heyuan County to rescue Chu Yunfei, and they fought a battle with the old devil Yin Sanxiong who saw him again. ”

Speaking of this, Wang Dehou, Zhao Gang and Xing Zhiguo all laughed.

Li Yunlong has never traded at a loss, and that battle was no exception.

Not only the 3rd brigade was routed, but also a mountain artillery brigade was captured, as well as a large amount of supplies and more than 200 mule carts.

made a lot of money.

And if Li Yunlong hadn't arrived in time, the 358th Regiment of the Jin Sui Army would have been in danger, and maybe it would have been eaten by the 3rd Brigade.

After finishing speaking, Li Yunlong's eyes showed a fierce light, and he said in a condensed voice: "This re-seeing Yin Sanxiong's head, Lao Tzu is going to decide, and it doesn't matter if Amaterasu comes." ”

Let's get rid of this devil Major General first, and then I will talk about whether I want to change to the B4 heavy howitzer or air support at that time, and then I will talk about it when I want to receive the goods.

However, we must first wait for the Sword Squadron to transmit the information back, and then wait for the battle plan to be formulated before we can attack Datong.

After a pause, Li Yunlong said again: "Everyone is here today, and we just have a party committee discussion meeting." ”

"What are you discussing?"

Zhao Gang, Xing Zhiguo, and Wang Dehou sat on a kang or stool.

Li Yunlong said: "Let's discuss the future development of the new regiment and the construction of the base area in the northwest of Shanxi. ”

"Let's talk about the development of the new group first."

"This time, we defeated the 10th Division and forced the 10th Division to retreat, resulting in the bankruptcy of the Japanese army's sweep of our base area in the northwest of Shanxi."

"A total of 2,000 tons of weapons and ammunition and 2,000 tons of food were obtained."

"There is nothing to say about the fact that 1,000 tons of weapons and ammunition will be handed over to the headquarters."

Everyone nodded, the main force of the 129th Division has been operating in the southeast base area of Jin for several years, and the base area of southeast Jin is relatively stable.

Moreover, since the battle of Cangyunling last year, the devils have not succeeded in sweeping the base areas in the southeast of Jin, but allowed the Eighth Route Army to recover those counties occupied by the Japanese army in the southeast of Jin.

The stability of the base area means that the grain output is stable, so the headquarters almost does not need to let Li Yunlong hand over the grain to the headquarters.

Although the main force of the 129th Division in the southeast of Shanxi also needed food, in comparison, the new regiment and the northwest of Shanxi needed food more.

"Of the other 1,000 tons of weapons and ammunition, I decided to take out 500 tons and distribute them to the new second regiment and the independent regiment."

"What do you think?"

After this battle, Li Yunlong really felt that the new group was a little rich.

The spare armament of the new regiment was the equipment of 3,000 infantrymen, plus the 500 tons of weapons and ammunition earned from the business of defeating the Japanese 36th Division, which had not yet been equipped with the troops.

That is to say, at present, in the warehouses of the new regiment, there are spare weapons plus the 500 tons of weapons and ammunition earned last time, and there are about 10,000 American-style firearms.

The spare weapons of 3,000 guns will not be used for the time being, and even if Ding Wei and Kong Jie are given a total of 500 tons of weapons and ammunition, Li Yunlong will still have 1,000 tons of American-style weapons to expand the troops.

1,000 tons of American-style equipment can expand the main force of 15,000 people.

Zhao Gang said happily: "Lao Li, I found that the problem of your standardism and ideology is no longer there under my ideological and political education, and I have no opinion on the matter of giving weapons and ammunition to the New Second Regiment and the Independent Regiment. ”

"I don't have a problem either."

"I don't have a problem either."

Xing Zhiguo and Wang Dehou also expressed their positions.

"What is this called?" When Li Yunlong heard this, he was immediately a little unhappy, "When did our old Li have the idea of self-centeredness?" Forget how I criticized you when you first arrived in the new group? ”

"Let's get down to business, now the strength of our new regiment is about 20,000 people, and Boss Chen will reimburse us for weapons and ammunition, which can be restored to the scale of more than 25,000 people before the war." Zhao Gang doesn't want to have more trouble with Li Yunlong in terms of self-centeredness, you Li Yunlong don't have standard-minded thoughts, don't you know in your heart?

Zhao Gang continued: "This time, we gave 500 tons of weapons and ammunition to the new second regiment and the independent regiment, and we can expand the weapons and ammunition, there are still 1,000 tons, that is, the weapons and ammunition that can expand the main force of 15,000. ”

"Then the main force of our new regiment has reached ...... 40,000 people. ”

Speaking of this, Zhao Gang couldn't help but breathe sluggishly, and his eyes gradually became hot.

Also with hot eyes, there are Xing Zhiguo, Wang Dehou, and Grand Master Li who is sitting on the kang.

"Oh my God, 40,000!" Wang Dehou couldn't help but exclaim.

The reinforced regiment of the main force of the Eighth Route Army has more than 2,000 people.

The scale of the regiment, like the 358th Regiment of the Jin Sui Army, is considered to be more, and all the personnel add up to more than 5,000 people.

In the original play, the independent regiment led by Li Yunlong, at the peak of Ping'an County, the total number of the main force plus the militia reached tens of thousands.

In fact, some of the units of the Eighth Route Army, the more powerful units, have grown to tens of thousands of people in the later stage of the Anti-Japanese War.

For example, an old Red Army named Liao Rongbiao, who was sent behind enemy lines in Shandong alone, pulled up 60 student soldiers in a month, and a team of 6,000 people in three months, and fought a lot of beautiful battles.

If you don't accept it, you can't.

Boss Chen's kind of support, if it weren't for Li Yunlong's support for the brother troops, the new regiment would have exceeded the scale of 100,000 people a long time ago, and it has nearly 20 artillery regiments.

And it is known that the more troops of the new regiment, the more combat effectiveness will be.

Maybe the scale of the new group is already hundreds of thousands.

Xing Zhiguo was also full of smiles: "According to the calculation of three divisions of an army and a full-strength division of about 10,000 people, and an army is only 30,000 people, the strength of one of our regiments is more than that of an elite army of the national army!" ”

On top of the corps, there are also corps, front armies, and group armies.

Li Yunlong smiled slightly: "Although our number is still a regiment, the legion is also a regiment." ”

Zhao Gang quickly regained his composure: "Let's expand the main force of more than 15,000 people at once, and there is a serious shortage of company-level and battalion-level officers and grass-roots officers. ”

From 1937 to 1940, the Eighth Route Army complied with the supreme instructions, went deep into the mountains, dived into the plains, and launched a guerrilla war with the devils in combination with the masses.

】

In just a few years, the army has grown rapidly from tens of thousands to more than 400,000.

However, due to the rapid development of the Eighth Route Army's troops and the shortage of weapons and ammunition, many soldiers did not even undergo decent shooting training, which was not conducive to the improvement of the Eighth Route Army's combat effectiveness.

Of course, after the expansion of the new regiment, there will be no shortage of weapons and ammunition, and training ammunition will also be sufficient.

What Zhao Gang is worried about is that because of the lack of experienced officers, the combat effectiveness of the troops has not been able to improve, and even problems of one kind or another have arisen.

"I'll ask the headquarters for advice on the officer's business." Li Yunlong raised his head and said: "We handed over 1,000 tons of weapons and ammunition, a tank battalion and 4 heavy howitzers, and the head of the headquarters is not allowed to assign me some officers. ”
