"Yo?" Zhao Gang pretended to be surprised in his tone, "Now that you have learned to use idioms, when did you become an intellectual?" ”

"!" Li Yunlong said disdainfully, "It's not our old Li Blow, when I was studying in a private school, my grades were also among the best." ”

After a pause, Li Yunlong said helplessly: "When I was a child in our village, my family was not the poorest, but there were still two acres of thin land. My father said that even if I die poor in this life, I will be allowed to study, and the whole family will save money for me to go to the private school to study, but unfortunately I only studied for three years before I caught up with the disaster year, I can't eat enough, and I can still afford to read? I only learned the "Three Character Classic" and "Hundred Family Names", and I also owe you and Brother Chen, otherwise my Li Yunlong's brain would still be a pot of paste. I, Li Yunlong, burned high incense in my last life, and when I met a big intellectual like you and a big boss like Brother Chen, I lived a prosperous life and learned cultural knowledge. ”

Listening to Li Yunlong's words, Zhao Gang also nodded helplessly.

In today's China, the vast majority of people do not have enough to eat, and how many people can receive intellectual and cultural education?

Many recruited recruits can't even write their own names, and they don't know if it's a word when they fall down.

There are quite a few ordinary people who don't even know the number of banknotes.

In the Eighth Route Army, many literacy classes were set up, and some soldiers of the Eighth Route Army carried small blackboards on their backs when they transferred and fought.

In the past, Li Yunlong still didn't believe it, labor and management were illiterate, and the level of education was low, so he didn't still win the war?

Learn, learn a fart!

Now that he has followed Zhao Gang to recognize words, learned cultural knowledge, and studied the military theory books given by Boss Chen, Grand Master Li realized that he was just sitting in a well and watching the sky before.

In the past, he fought a dozen skirmishes and commanded tens of millions of people.

If you want to command tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of troops to fight, you really can't do it without something in your head.

As for commanding millions of troops to fight, Li Yunlong didn't dare to think about it before, but at least he can think about it now.

"Education is the foundation of the country, and a strong youth makes the country strong."

Zhao Gang, a top student at Yenching University, has deep eyes and thinks farther than Li Yunlong:

"I have decided, we will build a school in the northwest of Shanxi Province to let our children go to school for free."

Each base area of the Eighth Route Army had a school, and the school in the base area was also one of the key targets of the Japanese army's sweep.

In the northwest of Shanxi, what Zhao Gang said still carries a lot of weight.

Li Yunlong's fingers tapped on the kang table, and he thought about it:

"Lao Zhao, you want to let the children of the entire northwest of Shanxi go to school, this is a great thing, I, Lao Li, raise my hands in favor."

"But have you thought about it, it's not easy!"

"Have you counted how many children there are in the northwest of Jinxi, how many teachers are needed, we don't have so many teachers alone."

"In addition, we need teaching materials, a lot of books, so we need at least another paper mill."

“……”

"Moreover, you still have to manage the lives of our new group of tens of thousands of main forces, as well as the political and ideological education of tens of thousands of people, can you be busy?"

Listening to Li Yunlong's words one by one, Zhao Gang's brows furrowed deeper and deeper.

Schools, especially during the war years, are difficult for every child to go to school.

But after Zhao Gang frowned, the expression on his face became more and more firm, and his eyes became more and more condensed.

"I know it's going to be hard, but we've got to get it done, it's a human thing."

"Lao Li, you should know that in the Japanese theater, the Japanese army forced Chinese children to learn Japanese and learn Japanese culture."

"This is an alternative butcher's knife used by the Japanese army to invade China."

"The little devil has sinister intentions, and wants to start with the doll and turn our next generation into their slaves."

"The policy of Japanese imperialism to annihilate China is divided into two aspects: material and spiritual, and we cannot ...... it."

Hearing Zhao Gang say this, Li Yunlong also realized the seriousness of the matter, and said: "Okay, since what you said is so serious, then do what you say." ”

Li Yunlong's idea was to first streamline the army, streamline the personnel, reduce the organization, and mainly develop the building of the army, and then wait for the little devils to be driven out of China.

However, what Zhao Gang meant was that the construction of the army and the construction of education went hand in hand.

Zhao Gang had this idea in the past, but now he has driven the devil out of the northwest of Shanxi, and the base area in the northwest of Shanxi is becoming more and more stable, and the idea of establishing education lingers in Zhao Gang's mind.

"I can write the textbook myself."

Zhao Gang continued:

"As for the teacher, the gentleman who originally taught a private school can continue to be hired, and the salary will be paid by our Eighth Route Army."

"You can also ask the headquarters for help, after all, the headquarters has many more resources and contacts than us."

"The headquarters mobilized forces to gather intellectuals from all over the country to teach in the northwest of Shanxi."

Li Yunlong nodded: "This is the truth..."

After a pause, Zhao Gang said again: "Also, let's run the Northwest Jin Arsenal, don't you want Yan Laoxi's group of technicians, in fact, you can also let the headquarters negotiate with Chief Yan." ”

"That's a good idea." Li Yunlong nodded, "Then apply to the headquarters, and the head of the headquarters will negotiate with Yan Laoxi." ”

Although Li Yunlong wanted to set up an arsenal, there were only steel plants, smokeless gunpowder production lines, and bullet production lines.

The steel plant has already begun to operate, and Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang have been given full responsibility to Zhang Wanhe.

Due to various reasons such as unskilled raw materials and skilled workers, the current output of steel plants is still very low.

You can make steel with your own steel mill, and although you can't make steel such as cannon steel today, you have taken the first step.

"That's right." Zhao Gang said again, "Didn't you say last time that you would organize the sixth and seventh battalions of the division into the main battalion?" ”

Li Yunlong nodded and said: "Originally, I planned to do so, but considering that I had to apply for the treatment of the deputy regiment level, these two battalions will not be organized into the main battalion for the time being, and they will be numbered as the first battalion of the division and the second battalion of the division. ”

Zhao Gang nodded: "Okay!" ”

Not long after, Wang Dehou and Xing Zhiguo returned to the regiment headquarters, and Li Yunlong discussed with them some issues about restructuring the organization and applying for regimental deputy rank treatment for the main battalion commander.

Wang Dehou and Xing Zhiguo have no opinions.

Immediately, Wang Dehou drafted a telegram of application and sent it to the headquarters.

After reading it, the head of the headquarters agreed to Li Yunlong's request after careful consideration.

According to common sense, if six battalion commanders are given the rank of regimental deputy at once, such a request will not be approved by the head of the headquarters.

However, the situation of the new regiment is quite special, and the few people who Li Yunlong applied for are enough to be the main regiment commander in terms of combat merits.

Moreover, the main reason why Li Yunlong applied for the regimental deputy rank was mainly to facilitate the command of the new regiment in the future.

That is, Li Yunlong himself is unwilling to be promoted, if Li Yunlong is willing to be promoted, he would have been at the division commander level and the top spot in the Northwest Military Region of Shanxi.

Although the Northwest Shanxi Military Region has not yet been set up in the northwest of Shanxi, the actual responsible persons in the northwest of Shanxi are Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang.

Of course.

Although the battalion commanders under Li Yunlong are now living the life of a regiment commander, they are still wearing the hat of the battalion commander.

But Li Yunlong cannot always be the head of the regiment, and when the Anti-Japanese War is won in the future, with Li Yunlong's exploits and the achievements of the new regiment, the new regiment will definitely be at the level of a guest regiment.

The battalion commanders under him are naturally rising.

The battalion commanders understood this, which is one of the reasons why the new regiment had won so many battles and no battalion commander raised objections.

After all, everyone is not a fool to be at the level of battalion commander, and on the other hand, the battalion commanders are not fighting for promotion and wealth.

……

Soon, the new regiment had already completed the preliminary adaptation.

The infantry battalion now has 6 main battalions and 9 divisional infantry battalions, for a total of 15 infantry battalions.

Since the combat losses of the battalions had not yet been replenished, each infantry battalion did not reach the full strength of 2,000 men.

Li Yunlong's transport company and mountain artillery company for each infantry battalion have not yet been completed.

In addition, more than 10,000 recruits participated in the training camp for recruits.

Waiting for the training of a group of recruits to be completed, priority should be given to replenishing the battalions, so that the battalions can reach full strength, and the transport company and mountain artillery company will be equipped with each infantry battalion.

Of course, at the beginning, each mountain artillery battery of the infantry battalion could not reach the number of 12 mountain guns due to the insufficient number of mountain artillery and artillery.

As for how many mountain artillery batteries can be equipped with each infantry battalion.

Just look at this wave, how many devils' planes can be killed.

This time, Boss Chen was full of sincerity, and he would give 5 mountain guns if he killed 1 devil plane.

Five days later, Boss Chen sent Yan Shuangying to send the time when the devil's plane arrived at Wusu Airport, as well as the information of the devil's flying team, to the regimental headquarters of the new regiment in Dagu Town.

"The Japanese Flying 32nd Sentai Squadron, half a Flying Sentai Sentai Sentai Squadron, 36 aircraft."

"Arrival time at Wusu Airport, around 3 p.m. on January 30."

In the inner room of the regiment headquarters, closing the information about the Japanese plane, Li Yunlong's eyes flashed.

Among them, the 32nd Flying Brigade is a heavy bomber team, a full bomber team, while the 5th Flying Team is a fighter team, only half of the flying team, plus 3 reconnaissance planes and 3 bombers, a total of 36 aircraft.

Li Yunlong carefully calculated and destroyed all the planes, that is, 180 75mm mountain guns.

According to the calculation of 36 75mm mountain guns in an artillery regiment, it is enough for the Eighth Route Army to equip 5 artillery regiments!

If you kill these devil pilots again, it will be even more profitable!

How many devil pilots can be killed depends on luck.

But this batch of devil planes, Li Yunlong is ready to destroy them all.

So.

Li Yunlong plans to wait for the day the devil plane arrives at Taiyuan Wusu Airport!

However, the defense around Taiyuan is much stronger now than when Yoshio Shinozuka was the commander, and it is not so easy to shell the devil's airfield.

Li Yunlong's eyes sank, staring at the map and narrowing his eyes, revealing a look of thought.
