"It seems that the head of the headquarters has a lot of support for us."

Li Yunlong looked happy at first, is there such a good thing?

But if you think about it carefully, now all of the southeast of Jin are under the control of the Eighth Route Army, and there is only one cavalry regiment of the 386 Brigade in the southeast of Jin.

Before, because Zhao Gang didn't find out the devil lurking in the new group's senior agents.

Li Yunlong asked Boss Chen for technical assistance, and the business price was halved, and Boss Chen was supposed to pay 1,000 military horses.

However, that day, Boss Chen went to the new regiment and said that Li Yunlong had achieved a good result this time, so he gave Li Yunlong an additional 1,000 military horses, a total of 2,000 military horses.

Li Yunlong originally planned to hand over 1,000 military horses, and collect some more military horses from the headquarters, which could expand into two cavalry regiments.

Moreover, Li Yunlong provided the weapons and equipment of these two cavalry regiments.

Although there is not much food on the 129th Division, it is not a big problem to raise 2 cavalry regiments.

The head of the headquarters let all 2,000 military horses be placed in the new regiment, obviously fully supporting the development of the cavalry units of the new regiment.

In the future, whether it was to attack the Japanese army in Mongolia and the Kwantung Army in the north, or to attack the main force of the North China Front Army in the east, although the cavalry was inferior to the armored troops.

But against the devils, the cavalry has a lot of room to play, after all, the firepower of the devils is not strong.

At this moment, Li Yunlong thought a lot.

Headquarters heads think longer.

Suddenly, Li Yunlong's heart moved, and the problems that the head of the headquarters had taken into account in an instant.

Then my current level, compared with the boss, should be about the same, right?

It's definitely not comparable, but Li Yunlong estimates that it's not much worse, and his level in all aspects has improved rapidly in the past two years.

"That's right."

Wang Dehou nodded:

"After all, the head of the headquarters also knows very well that the stronger our new regiment is, the more rich the headquarters will be."

"If I were the head of the headquarters, I wouldn't want cavalry, and tanks, armored vehicles, and heavy artillery would not be better than cavalry?"

"But regiment commander, according to the establishment of our cavalry battalion, our new regiment can expand by 3 cavalry battalions this time."

"At that time, we will have 5 cavalry battalions and nearly 4,000 cavalry, which is about the size of a cavalry division."

The batch of military horses sent by Boss Chen are all trained military horses, which can be used directly, and they will not be frightened in the face of guns on the battlefield.

However, after the formation of the cavalry battalion, it must be trained for at least one to three months before it can form combat effectiveness and go to the battlefield.

"Are you worried about the unified command of the cavalry battalion?" Li Yunlong asked.

In the past, Li Yunlong always said that with the reputation of a brigade commander, it is not bad to have a cavalry division.

Now Li Yunlong's reputation is not inferior to that of a brigade commander, and he has finally equipped himself with a cavalry division.

Hehe, brigade commander, I'm sorry, our old Li first matched a cavalry division.

"That's right."

Wang Dehou nodded.

Li Yunlong said: "This is simple, I will apply to the head of the headquarters to raise the treatment of Ma Renxing and Wang Chengzhu to the regimental deputy level, so that our artillery and cavalry will not lack unified command in the future." ”

After a pause, Li Yunlong smiled.

The five cavalry battalions of the new regiment, even against the 1st Cavalry Brigade of the devils, have a great advantage.

Wang Dehou nodded and said that he had no opinion.

Li Yunlong patted his head: "By the way, when we discussed what plane we wanted that day, we only thought about the plane in our minds, and forgot about the radar." ”

"Yes, yes."

Wang Dehou thought for a while, and hurriedly said: "We want 70 planes, but there is no extra quota to change the radar, how can we monitor the devil's plane without radar?" ”

Li Yunlong said: "So I plan to take out 15 reconnaissance planes, take out 5 reconnaissance planes and replace them with 5 radars, and install one at each of the four airports." ”

The price of changing radars is the same as exchanging planes.

After replacing five radars, there are still 40 attack aircraft, 15 transport aircraft and 10 reconnaissance aircraft, plus the previous 20 Sabre fighters, a total of 85 aircraft.

The airport in Daguzhen is not big enough to accommodate so many planes.

In the future, there will be more aircraft of the Eighth Route Army, and more airfields will need to be built.

Of course, if Taiyuan is recovered, the regiment headquarters and the airport will have to be moved to Taiyuan, and the airport built by the devils over there is relatively large, and the terrain is very flat, and the scale of the airport can be expanded at any time.

In the future, the airports in the northwest and southeast of Shanxi can be used as pilot training bases in the rear.

"And what about a radar?" Wang Dehou asked: At present, the Eighth Route Army has a total of four airports, each of which is equipped with a radar, and there is still one radar left.

Isn't this radar fragrant when replaced by an airplane?

Li Yunlong said: "There is also a radar sent to the YA to prevent the devil plane from making a detour to sneak attack the YA." ”

"Or the head of the regiment, you think long-term."

Wang Dehou said in admiration, why didn't he take this into account?

In the evening, Zhao Gang and Xing Zhiguo returned, and Li Yunlong discussed with them about cavalry and new business.

The two had no objections.

……

Two days later.

Li Yunlong called Ma Renxing, Wang Chengzhu, Yao Shangwen, and Sun Desheng to the regiment headquarters to talk.

Li Yunlong applied to the regiment headquarters to raise the treatment of their four battalion commanders to the rank of deputy regiment.

These are the other four fierce generals under Li Yunlong's command.

With the military exploits of these four people, it is more than enough to be a regiment commander or even a brigade commander in other troops.

Of course.

It is only in the new regiment that these few can get so many feats.

Last time, Wang Chengzhu led a battalion and a squadron of swords to Wujin Mountain in Taiyuan to shell the Devil's Airport, killing dozens of Devil's planes and more than a dozen Devil's pilots, and earning more than 100 mountain guns and howitzers.

That time, Li Yunlong wanted to apply for the treatment of Wang Chengzhu at the deputy level of the regiment, but he was delayed because he was too busy.

Considering that the new regiment now has an artillery battalion of 150-mm howitzers, two 105-mm howitzer battalions, one B4 heavy howitzer battalion, and one Katyusha rocket artillery battalion.

This will be followed by an expansion of 1 Katyusha rocket artillery battalion and 1 B4 heavy howitzer battalion, and more will be added in the future.

So Yao Shangwen, the commander of the 150-mm howitzer battalion with outstanding combat achievements, was also among them.

Other than that.

This time, Li Yunlong is also preparing to expand two tank battalions, which requires Sun Desheng's unified command, and Sun Desheng's combat exploits are sufficient, so he also applied for the treatment of the deputy regiment level together.

And Li Yunlong himself is now treated at the deputy division level, and it is only a matter of time before he is promoted to the division level.

Li Yunlong glanced at the four fierce generals under him, and his expression was extremely satisfied:

"The order from headquarters has come down."

"From now on, the allowances of the four of you will be paid according to the level of the deputy regiment."

"In future operations, according to the needs of the combat mission, the cavalry units, artillery units, and tank units of our new regiment will be organized into some composite battalions, and they will be handed over to you to command at that time."

"Do you have the confidence to command the troops well?"

The composite battalion of the new regiment is actually of the same nature as the column during the PLA period.

A temporary method of establishment according to operational needs.

However, the scale is not so large, the formation of the column is equivalent to an army, and the size of the new regimental composite battalion is at worst a reinforced regiment, between a division.

Of course, this kind of establishment has its problems, but the flaws are not hidden.

"Yes!"

The four battalion commanders shouted in unison, their expressions excited but their voices full of anger.

Li Yunlong nodded, his expression becoming more and more satisfied:

"Our new regiment now has more than 50,000 people, which has long exceeded the size of an army, and is about the same as the strength of a group army of the national army."

"Our regiment-level establishment is only temporary, and when we defeat the devils and liberate the whole of China, at that time, I, Li Yunlong, will also become the commander of the group army and even the commander of the front army."

"Several of you are at least major generals, division commanders and lieutenant generals."

"You Wang Chengzhu and Yao Shangwen are the commanders of the artillery corps, you Ma Renxing are the commanders of the cavalry corps, and you Sun Desheng are the commanders of the tank group army, and you have thousands of heavy and medium tanks of all kinds under your command."

While speaking, Li Yunlong's eyes also showed a hint of expectation.

He has 1 million troops under his command, including heavy artillery, tanks, aircraft, and even warships and submarines.

At that time, no country will dare to bully China again, right?

At that time, whoever dares to bully China will fight first.

Hehe smiled, Sun Desheng said: "That relationship is good, our Sun Desheng can also be a general." ”

Although Li Yunlong's words have the taste of painting cakes, Sun Desheng knows very well that this cake is not inedible.

With Boss Chen's increasing support, even if it is not as good as the regiment commander said, it is not far behind.

"Commander, at that time, the cavalry will be of little use."

Ma Renxing's eyes burned:

"I'm also going to be the commander of a tank army."

"No problem." Li Yunlong nodded, "In the future, your cavalry troops, when appropriate, will all be organized into tank troops." ”

Next, Li Yunlong chatted with several battalion commanders for a while and asked about the recent situation of the troops.

The air at the regimental headquarters was filled with a cheerful atmosphere.

Just as Li Yunlong was about to finish, Huang Erhu's voice sounded outside the door: "Report!" ”

Li Yunlong: "Come in!" ”

Huang Erhu walked in quickly and gave a military salute: "Report to the head of the regiment, there is a call from the airport in Dagu Town, and the first batch of military horses and a company's new guns transported by Boss Chen have arrived!" ”

"Oh?" Li Yunlong looked overjoyed, "Order the 1st Cavalry Battalion and the 2nd Cavalry Battalion to go to the airport to lead the horses." ”

"Then order the transport battalion, go to some cars, and transport all the new guns to the shooting range in Dagu Town."

"Yes!"

Huang Erhu straightened up and turned to leave.

Li Yunlong grabbed the military hat on the table and put it on, put on the steel helmet again, and looked at everyone:

"You guys come with me to the Big Lonely Town shooting range to test the gun."

"Commander, Boss Chen has a new gun over there?" Ma Renxing's eyes lit up slightly.

In the past, Ma Renxing's Jizhong Cavalry Regiment was equipped with a variety of cavalry rifles.

After being reorganized into the 2nd Cavalry Battalion of the new regiment, Ma Renxing's cavalry unit was equipped with a unified standard equipment, a systematically improved M1 carbine.

The cavalry warriors used it very easily.

Li Yunlong nodded and said, "That's right, Boss Chen's side has a new gun, which is better than the Garand and carbine of the US army." ”

Hearing what the head of the regiment said, everyone's faces showed a look of great interest.

Everyone is experienced in the battlefield, and naturally has a soft spot for guns, although the guns of the US military have shortcomings, they are still easy to use, and they are much stronger than the guns of devils.

Followed by.

Li Yunlong also ordered the telegraph operator to inform the commanders of the Sword Squadron and the main infantry battalions to immediately assemble at the Dagu Town Shooting Range. (End of chapter)
