Time flies.

Li Yunlong had already sent a squadron of sharp swords to reconnoiter the stepping point in advance.

The new group has a radius of tens or hundreds of kilometers, and there are almost no devils.

However, according to the report of the troops stationed in Datong, there are many devils and spies of the puppet army near Datong City, and these devils and puppet army spies are from the Mongolian army.

Li Yunlong estimated that it was the devil's army stationed in Mongolia that was preparing to attack Datong.

After all, Datong is an important transit station of the Pingsui Railway, and also the starting point of the Beitongpu Railway.

The devil's garrison army in Mongolia wanted to attack Datong, which was expected by Li Yunlong.

After all, the First Army is now retreating in the area of Taiyuan and Yangquan, and at most it can only hold the Zhengtai Railway and the Nantongpu Railway, and has no spare strength to attack Datong again.

With the current strength of the new regiment, it is still a little reluctant to single out a legion of devils.

Therefore, Li Yunlong gave an order to the troops stationed in Datong to retreat immediately once they found a large-scale army of devils.

The cavalry of the new regiment guarding Datong is the first regiment, and once the devil's army is discovered, it is necessary to evacuate in time.

The last time Li Yunlong also arranged for the cavalry to be in Datong, it was because of the high speed of the cavalry.

However, the devils of the Mongolian army only dared to attack Datong at most, and absolutely did not dare to attack Ping'an, Anhua and Heyuan counties.

And.

When the large army of devils stationed in Mongolia withdrew to Baotou, Li Yunlong could lead his troops to attack Datong again and cut a wave of leeks.

Otherwise, there are almost no devils in a radius of tens or hundreds of kilometers, and if you have itchy hands, you want to find devils to have a good time but have no chance, and that is the most uncomfortable.

In addition to the anti-aircraft artillery battalion and the machine gun battalion, all units of the new regiment increased their training.

The rest of the battalions are resting.

And the airport in Daguzhen is also in full swing under construction.

Although the 500 tons of weapons and ammunition given by Boss Chen have not yet arrived, the new regiment has begun a new round of recruitment.

Each recruit is selected from among the militia.

Unless you have a specialty, don't have a recruit who hasn't touched a gun.

Whether it was the battle of attacking the 36th Division, or the anti-sweeping campaign in the northwest of Jinxi, or the attack on Datong, the new regiment captured a large amount of Japanese-style equipment.

In the eyes of the main battalion of the new regiment, these Japanese-style equipment are no different from garbage.

But when put into other troops, it is extremely sophisticated weapons and equipment.

These weapons and ammunition were used by the new regiment to expand the militia units.

Therefore, the equipment of the militia units of the new regiment is better than that of the main forces of the other troops.

At present, the new regiment has more than 10,000 militiamen, which is indeed less than that of other military regions.

Like the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region, the militia has more than 100,000 people.

The militia of the 129th Division in the southeast of Shanxi Province was also quite large.

The main reason is that the time for the new regiment to arrive in the northwest of Shanxi is relatively short, and it is only a few months before and after, and there is still a lot of room for improvement in the construction and development of the base areas.

Although not every militia is armed with a gun, most of them are.

Each militia member has shooting and tactical training in peacetime, which is personally taught by veterans of the main battalion of the new regiment, and the training results of each militia are registered, and priority is given to soldiers with excellent training results.

And.

One of the great advantages of recruiting the main recruits from the militia is that almost all of the soldiers are natives of the northwestern Shanxi Province and know each other well, which can effectively prevent the infiltration of enemy spies.

Li Yunlong personally presided over the recruitment work and attached strict importance to the recruitment work.

In addition to recruiting recruits for the main battalion, Li Yunlong also ordered a large number of militia recruits.

As long as they are of the appropriate age to serve as a soldier and there is no problem with the composition, they can all participate in militia training.

These are all reserve soldiers of appropriate age, and they must be recruited in advance, and when the new regiment is expanded next time, they can recruit new recruits directly from the militia.

But.

Now that the new regiment is tens or hundreds of kilometers in circumference, there are hardly any devils, and it is impossible for the militia to participate in actual combat and accumulate actual combat experience.

The militia in each village only recruits those who have good training results as recruits, and the rest are either unqualified in training, or the captain and deputy captain can only wait for the next recruitment.

Once they become the main force of the new regiment, wearing big red flowers and riding high-headed horses, the village is beating gongs and drums to send each other, and the village flowers are secretly sending autumn waves.

Therefore, almost every militia wants to become the main force of the new regiment.

However, the main battalion of the new regiment is not for everyone, first of all, it must have a clean background, and secondly, it must have good physical fitness and meet the training standards.

This time, the new regiment will expand its main force by nearly 20,000 people, which cannot be done in three or five days.

The new regiment now has about 20,000 troops, and it suffered about 4,000 casualties in the Battle of Northwest Jin.

And the loss of weapons and ammunition can be reimbursed, plus the amount of additional 1,000 tons of weapons and ammunition, that is, 15,000 people, almost 20,000 people.

The specific allocation for the expansion is to expand one of seven infantry battalions and one heavy howitzer battalion, and then replenish the lost strength of each infantry battalion.

After a meeting of the new regiment headquarters to study.

In the first stage, 8,000 recruits were recruited from the militia and handed over to the training camp for integrated training.

Those who fail to pass the training or have ideological problems are returned to the militia or village.

Including Zhang Wanhe, the cadres assigned to the new regiment by the headquarters have not yet arrived, so they can only let the training camp train first.

The training battalion originally had a few hundred people, and the strength of the training battalion directly reached the scale of nearly 10,000 people.

……

A few days later.

Big Lonely Town.

Duan Peng walked into the regiment headquarters quickly and saluted Li Yunlong:

"Captain!"

Although Duan Peng had been running for a long time at this time, he couldn't see the slightest tiredness on his face, standing there like a sharp sword out of the sheath, which made people can't help but be daunted.

However, Li Yunlong has also been on the battlefield for a long time, killing countless enemies, and I don't know how many enemies he personally cut off his head.

Therefore, Duan Peng's aura had no effect on Li Yunlong at all, and even Duan Peng's eyes and expression when he looked at Li Yunlong were full of admiration and respect.

"Duan Peng!"

Seeing Duan Peng in front of him, Grand Master Li's expression was slightly happy.

Duan Peng's return to the regiment headquarters means that he has stepped on a good point.

"This time, your sword squadron went to conduct reconnaissance, and you didn't do anything moth, did you?"

Li Yunlong did not take the lead in asking about the mission, he knew that the Sword Squadron would definitely not return if it did not complete the mission.

Each of these special forces has great ability, and those with great ability have a bad temper, and if they go to Taiyuan to do something, then it will be a big problem.

The current Taiyuan is not an exaggeration to call it the Longtan Tiger's Lair for the Sword Squadron.

The devils are now building a large number of reinforced concrete fortifications around Taiyuan, and even if the Sword Squadron can successfully infiltrate it, it will be extremely difficult to get out after completing the work.

"Nope!" Duan Peng said in a disdainful tone, "Those little soldiers, our sword squadron is not interested, and it is worth our sword squadron to kill the commander of the First Army, Iwamatsu Yoshio." ”

Li Yunlong said: "Duan Peng, I'm going to criticize you, you kid don't make the same mistake as Yamamoto Kazuki, as soon as you make a move, you want to kill the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, kill the Second War Zone Commander's Department, and even want to kill Principal Chang, no matter how small the mosquito is, it is meat, as long as it is within the scope of the task, it is allowed to kill the little soldiers and generals of the devil easily, and make a little money." ”

"Commander." Duan Peng touched his head and asked in a puzzled tone, "Then according to what you mean, should our sword squadron engage in moths?" ”

"Uh......" Li Yunlong was stunned for a moment, and then thought for a while before saying, "You can grasp the scale yourself, I have one principle, as long as it is earned, I will not be held accountable, if it is a loss, I will scold my mother." ”

】

"Yes!" Duan Peng's body straightened.

Li Yunlong then asked, "How is the task completed?" ”

Duan Peng quickly took out a map from his coat pocket and spread it out on the kang table.

"Regiment commander, our Sword Squadron conducted careful reconnaissance within 10 to 30 kilometers northeast of Taiyuan according to the route of the devil's plane."

"About 20 kilometers northeast of Wusu Airport in Taiyuan, there is a mountain called Purple Mountain, which is not big enough so it is not marked on the map."

"But there is a deserted horse road that can go directly from Tongpu Highway to Purple Mountain."

"There's a deserted horse road?" Li Yunlong's eyes narrowed slightly, and Li Yunlong's expression was also slightly happy.

Ha ha!

God, this is to make our Lao Li rich!

The most difficult thing in Li Yunlong's plan was how to transport 40 37-mm antiaircraft guns, weighing more than 2 tons, to the bottom of the route of the devil's plane.

Since it is a deserted horse road, it means that almost no one walks, which solves both the problem of anti-aircraft gun transportation and the problem of concealment.

Li Yunlong looked at the map and saw that Duan Peng had already drawn the route of the horse road on the map.

The fact that the road is not marked on the map indicates that it is indeed deserted.

The Purple Mountain is due east of Taiyuan and northeast of Wusu Airport, and it takes more than 40 kilometers to reach the Purple Mountain from the Tongpu Railway along the abandoned horse road.

"Your sword squadron mission has been well accomplished this time!" Li Yunlong's expression was extremely satisfied, "Give it a commendation and let the team members rest and relax." ”

"Yes!" Duan Peng, who was praised, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and turned to leave.

Subsequently.

Li Yunlong asked the correspondent to summon Wang Dehou, Zhao Gang, Xing Zhiguo, and several operational staff officers of the regimental headquarters to discuss the specific battle plan.
