Headquarters. Hum

"You want to apply to be transferred to the new regiment to be the logistics chief?"

Looking at Zhang Wanhe, who was respectful in front of him, the chief's tone was surprised.

The logistics minister of the 129th Division is not appropriate, and he went to the northwest of Shanxi to be the logistics minister of a regiment-level unit, has a problem with his brain, right?

But the chief thought about it, and the new regiment was not an ordinary regimental unit.

In terms of troop strength, it is comparable to that of one army, and in terms of firepower, it is stronger than several armies combined.

Especially after this expansion, the strength and firepower of the new regiment have become even more terrifying.

"Yes, Chief." Hum

After a pause, Zhang Wanhe said again: "Chief, I have inquired, at present, the new regiment does not have the post of logistics minister, only a transportation battalion commander, and the scheduling of logistics is mainly in charge of political commissar Zhao Gang. ”

Minister Zhang knows Li Yunlong very well.

Every time this guy hands over so generous to the headquarters and so many good things to the headquarters, he is so rich.

On the one hand, Zhang Wanhe did think that the new regiment needed a logistics minister.

On the other hand, Zhang Wanhe also has some selfish motives.

The new regiment is really too rich, and it will be richer in the future, and it is a hundred percent thing to surpass the 129th division.

Although the new regiment was only a regiment-level unit, Zhang Wanhe did not regard the new regiment as a regiment-level at all. Hum

In the future, I am afraid that the new regiment will be able to have tanks, airplanes, and even warships, and wouldn't it be nice to be a logistics minister in such a unit?

Although he will have to listen to Li Yunlong's orders in the future, Zhang Wanhe doesn't care.

As long as he can better fight devils and assist Li Yunlong to eliminate more devils, let Zhang Wanhe be willing to do anything.

Minister Zhang, who has participated in the revolution for more than 10 years, has a high consciousness.

"Have you thought about it?"

The chief asked again.

The new regiment does need a logistics minister who is good at coordinating and providing livelihood services for the troops of the new regiment, especially as the new regiment is about to be expanded. Hum

After the expansion, the new regiment may have 50,000 or 60,000 people in the main force plus the militia.

Zhao Gang had to take care of the food, drink, and Lazar of so many people, and Zhao Gang also had to organize and lead the political work of the troops, and the political and ideological work of tens of thousands of people was not so easy to do.

Zhang Wanhe's tone was categorical: "Chief, I have thought about it, I applied to be transferred to the new regiment to be the logistics minister." ”

"You go back first, I'll think about it." The chief nodded.

"Yes!"

"Thank you, Chief!"

Zhang Wanhe's expression was slightly happy. Hum

The chief did not explicitly refuse, saying that he would think about it, so it means that there is a high probability that this matter will be done.

Then, Zhang Wanhe walked out quickly.

……

Because Li Yunlong made a fortune in the northern parts of Jinbei, the two brothers Ding Wei and Kong Jie were also extremely greedy.

A clear-code telegram made Li Yunlong famous and was called a national hero.

Even Li Yunlong and Xue Yue, who are called South Xue Yue and North Yunlong by folk storytellers, cannot die in China without these two people.

Therefore, Ding Wei and Kong Jie were not idle, and were preparing to attack the three county towns in their respective defense areas. Hum

At present, the counties in the defense area of Ding Wei and Kong Jie, the strength of each county is not much, the maximum number of county devils is only two squadrons, and the minimum number of devils is one squadron plus some puppet troops.

Because the devils felt that they had destroyed all the grain in the defense areas of the two regiments in the northwest of Shanxi, Ding Wei and Kong Jie, and there was not even a grain of grain left.

Millions of people had no food to eat, and the Eighth Route Army had to go hungry.

I can't even hold a gun, and I still attack the county seat?

Therefore, after a period of time, when the base areas of the two regiments of the New Second Regiment and the Independent Regiment are starving, the devil's troops will set out from the county seat to sweep up.

In addition, Kazuki Yamamoto and Yoshio Iwamatsu were still planning to train the advance team to enter the defense area of the New Second Regiment and the Independent Regiment, disguised as the Eighth Route Army to destroy the military-civilian relations in the base area.

However, the devil never expected it. Hum

Ding Wei and Kong Jie exchanged all the devils killed this time with food, which not only solved the food problem of more than 1 million people.

It also made the military-civilian relationship between the common people and the Eighth Route Army more and more united.

The common people are more and more supportive of the work of the Eighth Route Army, such as road construction and recruitment, and the common people are enthusiastically participating.

During this time, Kong Jie and Ding Wei were not idle, and immediately started recruiting troops after returning to the base area.

In the anti-sweeping operation, the new second regiment and the independent regiment both suffered more than half of the casualties, that is, about 5,000 casualties.

Some of the fighters who were slightly wounded have recovered and returned to their units.

At present, the strength of the new second regiment and the independent regiment has reached 7,000 people, but 2,000 are new recruits and cannot go to the battlefield yet. Hum

So when Ding Wei and Kong Jie sent a telegram.

Li Yunlong immediately dispatched two companies, each to the new second regiment and the independent regimental defense area, to cooperate in attacking the county seat.

These two companies are just doing a show, anyway, to lay down the business of the county, Li Yunlong only has 2 150mm howitzers.

And with the current combat effectiveness of the new second regiment and the independent regiment, it will not be difficult to capture these county seats.

Northwest of Shanxi.

More than 7,000 troops of the Independent Regiment of the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army, under the leadership of Kong Jie, went straight to the three county towns occupied by devils in the defense area.

Kong Jie's tactic was to use half of the infantry to surround the other two county towns, and then use half of the infantry and all the artillery to concentrate on the other county town. Hum

So as not to scare away the devils and puppet armies in the other two counties, and then they will lose blood.

……

Zuo County.

Hiding on a hill, Kong Jie, who was holding a telescope, watched a group of dozens of mule carts enter the county seat, and squinted his eyes: "It's better to come early than to come by chance, today is the day for the devils in the county to supply supplies." ”

According to intelligence, there are 2 squadrons of devils and 1 battalion of puppet troops stationed in this county, with a total strength of about 800 people.

Kong Jie is still very clear about this.

"Commander, give the order to attack...... "Huh."

Beside him, Guan Dashan, the commander of the first battalion, stared at the county seat in the distance and couldn't help but lick his lips.

Guan Dashan, like Zhang Dabiao, is a guy who gets excited when he smells blood.

Seeing the transport team composed of devils and puppet soldiers, he couldn't hold back the killing intent in his heart.

"Hey, hey, hey......"

"Don't worry, wait for the devil and the puppet army's transport team to enter the city before we start, it's all ours anyway."

Hehe smiled, Kong Jie's tone was cold:

"The devil doesn't know my Kong Jie, and he dares to station troops in the county seat of the labor-management defense area, and he just doesn't know how to write dead words." Hum

"Let the artillery first set up all the artillery, and the cavalry and infantry will move around the county seat, and the county town will be surrounded by labor and capital."

Reimbursement for weapons and ammunition for the new regiment has been delivered.

In addition, as the people who crossed the Yellow River to northern Shaanxi returned to the northwest of Shanxi one after another, the transport plane arranged by Boss Chen also began to airdrop grain at a fixed position.

It was received by troops from the New Second Regiment and the Independent Regiment and then distributed to the civilian population.

As for the 100 machine guns given by Li Yunlong, Kong Jie and Ding Wei each exchanged some mortars, 2 heavy machine guns, machine guns, bazooka and other heavy weapons, and their strength was greatly strengthened.

The reason why Kong Jie dared to set up artillery to attack the county town in broad daylight was that the devils who bullied the North China Front Army did not have planes.

If the devil had an airplane, then Kong Jie would definitely attack at night. Hum

The Eighth Route cavalry and infantry appeared around the county seat, and the first reaction of the devils and puppet soldiers was not to flee but to quickly close the city gate.

With the independent regiment, the troops surrounded the four city gates of Zuoxian.

Behind Kong Jie, there was a depression in the distance, which was the artillery position of the artillery battalion of the independent regiment, all of which had barrels of more than 75 mm in caliber, and the muzzles of the guns pointed in the direction of the county town in the distance.

There were not many civilians in the county, so the artillery battalion of the new regiment did not pull the artillery under the county seat and aim at the city wall to shoot directly, but directly shelled it from a distance.

Although long-range shelling will waste a lot of shells due to accuracy problems.

But the shells are reimbursed by Boss Chen, and long-range shelling can better protect the artillery and artillery.

Although the artillery models of the independent regiment are relatively mixed, there are American 75-mm mountain guns, Japanese 75-mm mountain guns, and German-style 105-mm howitzers. Hum

But there are quite a few of them, nearly 40 of them.

Exceeded the level of the Japanese artillery wing.

If you add dozens of 60-mm and 82-mm mortars, the artillery firepower of the new regiment far exceeds that of the second-line division of the devil, and is comparable to the artillery firepower of the ordinary A division of the Japanese army.

If you are poor, you will strike with precision, and if you are rich, you will be covered by firepower.

"Artillery reloaded!"

The commander of the artillery battalion reported to Kong Jie on the walkie-talkie.

Taking a deep breath, Kong Jie shouted loudly: "Fire!" "Huh

"Fire!"

On the artillery position, the commander of the artillery battalion, who received the order to open the artillery, suddenly put his hand down.

The gunners struggled to pull the firing arquebuses in their hands.

"Tom ......"

Accompanied by the dull and powerful sound of cannons, nearly 40 cannons opened fire almost simultaneously, and the fireworks from the muzzles of the cannons burst into flames, and the wind was connected, kicking up a large amount of smoke and dust.

About ten seconds later, a long scream came from the south of the city, crossed the sky above the heads of the soldiers of the Independent Regiment, and rained down on the walls of the southern city gate of Zuoxian County and the fortifications outside the city.

"Boom, boom, boom, boom ......".

In just a moment, the southern city wall of Zuoxian County was shrouded in gunsmoke.

Kong Jie's siege tactics were different from Li Yunlong's.

Kong Jie likes to concentrate his firepower and superior forces, and break through the enemy a little first, so that a large army can attack the city.

He called this tactic a siege of three and an attack on one.

That is, the other three directions are all feints or even no attacks, and only one direction is the main attack.

But Li Yunlong likes to be the main attack, and which battalion enters the city first is the first achievement.

"Go on, don't stop!" Hum

The artillery of the Independent Regiment who went through the Taiyuan Campaign and the Anti-Sweeping Campaign in the Northwest of Shanxi Province have long been reborn and have a very high level of quality.

On the orders of the artillery battalion commander, the gunner handed the shell to the loader, who stuffed the prepared shell into the chamber and closed the bolt.

In the smooth movements of the artillerymen, each cannon rained shells at the city wall occupied by the devils and puppet troops at the fastest rate of 5 rounds per minute.

Kong Jie used all the artillery of the artillery battalion of the Independent Regiment to capture the county seat of Zuo County in the shortest possible time.

After beating Zuo County, he also had to lead the main force to fight the other two county seats.

After beating the three county towns, I can quickly receive the 150-mm howitzers.

Kong Jie and Ding Wei were at Li Yunlong's, and when they saw the 150mm howitzer, their eyes lit up as if they had seen a beauty. Hum
