Peiping.

A new regiment.

Regiment headquarters.

"Report to the head of the delegation, three important telegrams were received in the morning."

As soon as Li Yunlong returned to the regiment headquarters after inspecting the troops, Wang Dehou, chief of staff, hurriedly greeted him and saluted and reported to Li Yunlong.

The morale of the troops was very strong, and the quality of individual soldiers became stronger and stronger, and Grand Master Li was very satisfied.

With the more victories the troops won, the more veterans and elites of the new regiment, coupled with the five or six types of equipment and sufficient training ammunition, a large number of sharpshooters emerged in the new regiment.

Li Yunlong personally watched the shooting training of the main force, and even some of the cooking soldiers were about to catch up with the level of the top marksmen.

Not to mention the top soldiers of the main force, almost all of them are top-level marksmen.

Even the spy companies of each battalion have a number of top soldiers, and they have the potential to become the king of special forces.

It can be said that at present, the soldiers of the main battalions of the new regiment are not inferior in terms of individual quality compared with the devils of the first division regiment.

Even the fighters of the new regiment are better armed and equipped, and in terms of combat effectiveness, they are higher than the devils of the A division.

Other than that.

With Li Yunlong, the commander of the new regiment, taking the lead in studying, the grassroots soldiers and commanders of the new regiment had a very strong learning atmosphere.

Not only learn cultural knowledge, but also learn tactical cooperation, as well as party affairs regulations, and have a high ideological awareness.

Today, the main battalion of the new regiment, especially the six heavily armed composite battalions, is comparable to the most elite units of the German army in terms of combat effectiveness.

Artillery, armoured and cavalry units are also becoming increasingly powerful.

Li Yunlong's face was filled with a satisfied smile and returned to the regiment headquarters, and Wang Dehou hurriedly greeted him.

"What three important telegrams?"

Li Yunlong's expression moved.

If it was an unimportant telegram, Wang Dehou, as the chief of staff of the new regiment, would have dealt with it himself.

However, important telegrams had to be handled by Li Yunlong himself.

"The first telegram was a telegram from the headquarters about the location of the new arsenal, and the headquarters decided to build a new arsenal in Zhengding."

Wang Dehou said.

"Zhengding?" Li Yunlong looked stunned and looked at the map on the table.

The scale of the new arsenal is very large, there are 35 branch factories, and three or five large arsenals can be built separately.

Li Yunlong plans to hand over all the 35 arsenals he earned this time.

The new regiment has an arsenal in the Northwest Industrial Park of Shanxi, which is enough.

Because the new regiment does not rely much on the arsenal, it relies more on Boss Chen's airdrop supplies.

Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang are lacking in skills, and the new regiment does not have so many talents to manage the new arsenal.

"The headquarters is planning to make an arsenal park in Zhengding."

Li Yunlong instantly understood the idea of the headquarters.

The new arsenal park must meet the needs of convenient transportation, whether it is the raw materials required by the arsenal or the weapons and ammunition produced by the arsenal, it must be easy to transport in and out.

Zhengding is the starting point of the Zhengtai Railway and has a large station.

Next, the main offensive of the Eighth Route Army was mainly divided into two forces, Li Zhao's army attacked to the north and Liu Deng's army attacked to the south.

In the Zhengding Arsenal Park, the weapons and ammunition produced are very convenient for transportation, whether to the south or north.

Moreover, once there is any change in the future war situation, the arsenal in Baoding can also quickly withdraw to Jin Province through the Zhengtai Railway.

With such a large arsenal park, there must be sufficient water sources.

To the south of Zhengding and north of Shimen City, there is a river that can meet the daily needs of the arsenal park.

The Jingcheng Coal Mine, not far from Zhengding, can also meet the daily needs of steelmaking and steam generators in the steel mill of the arsenal.

Daguocun Airport in Shimen City is not far from Zhengding.

After seeing these points clearly, Li Yunlong had to admire the strategic vision of the head of the headquarters.

Perhaps Zhengding is not a good location for large-scale construction of arsenals.

However, judging from the current offensive and defensive posture of the Eighth Route Army, it is indeed a wise choice to build the new arsenal park near Zhengding.

Moreover, now the Eighth Route Army has strong air power, as well as anti-aircraft firepower.

The arsenal no longer needs to be hidden, it is built in the Yellow Cliff Cave and the cave, and it can be built directly near the suburbs of the big city.

"Now that the head of the headquarters has decided, the new arsenal park will be built in Zhengding."

Li Yunlong looked solemn and said:

"Call back to the headquarters immediately, ask the headquarters to send professionals to select a site near Zhengding, and after the address is selected, start building the arsenal building immediately, and then contact Boss Chen for delivery."

The arsenal goes from determining the location, to selecting the location of professionals, to repairing all kinds of buildings in the arsenal.

Prepare raw materials, recruit skilled workers, and carry out various procedures such as equipment delivery and installation.

It will take at least three months to half a year, and after a series of complex procedures, the new arsenal park can be completed and put into production.

The little devil is not rich, and the Eighth Route Army fought a battle with the devil, and the capture was not much.

Compared with what Li Yunlong earned from business, it was not half a star.

The People's Liberation Army in another time and space fought against the national army, and every time it fought, it captured a large number of war materials and made a lot of money.

The reason is that President Chang received assistance from the United States, and the formation of divisions, corps, and even corps of the National Army with American-style equipment was completely eaten by the PLA.

Therefore, President Chang is known as the captain of the transportation brigade.

But the little devil was not as wealthy as Principal Chang during the Liberation War.

Therefore, it is very necessary for the Eighth Route Army to expand and build the scale of the arsenal.

Moreover, after the establishment of the arsenal, it was necessary to send troops to be stationed for protection, and in addition to air defense units.

Anti-aircraft fire cannot be used, but it cannot be without.

"Yes." Wang Dehou quickly drafted a telegram.

Subsequently, Wang Dehou continued: "In the morning, the Independent Brigade sent a telegram saying that the Independent Brigade had been expanded to 30,000 people, and Deputy Commander Chu requested American-style equipment and grassroots officers. ”

"30,000?"

Li Yunlong was taken aback.

According to the regular establishment of the national army, 10,000 people in one division, the strength of the independent brigade is about the size of three divisions of the national army.

That is, the size of 1 army of the national army.

But it is only an ideal establishment, and the scale of this force is only full of President Chang's trump card.

Like the miscellaneous units and local troops of the national army, it is not bad if there are more than 10,000 people in an army.

"I remember, half a month ago, the strength of the independent brigade was less than 20,000 people, right?"

"It's only been half a month, and the independent brigade has expanded to more than 10,000 people, Chu Yunfei, this kid won't be going to pull Zhuangding, right!?"

Li Yunlong asked with a narrowed set of eyes.

The independent brigade was sent by Li Yunlong to develop in northern Henan, and in only two or three months, it grew from 5,000 to 30,000 people, which surprised Li Yunlong.

In the first two years, the new regiment did not develop as fast as the independent brigade.

"Deputy Head Chu is indeed a strong man."

Wang Dehou smiled slightly and reported.

As soon as the words fell, Wang Dehou saw Li Yunlong's face and sank a little on the spot.

This kind of thing is absolutely not allowed to exist in the Eighth Route Army, and it is entirely voluntary to participate in the Eighth Route Army to fight devils.

It's discipline.

Seeing this, Wang Dehou continued to smile and said: "However, the independent brigade of Deputy Commander Chu is pulling the strong men of the national army. ”

"The strong man of the national army?" Li Yunlong thought for a moment, and then his eyes lit up, "Chu Yunfei pulled the team of the national army near Zhengzhou to the independent brigade?" ”

Li Yunlong's mind spun quickly, and almost instantly, he thought of how Chu Yunfei expanded the troops.

"That's right!" Wang Dehou said, "Deputy Commander Chu used some means to make the soldiers of the national army willingly join our Eighth Route Army. ”

At that moment, Wang Dehou told the independent brigade about learning the 129th Division's tactics of digging up the wall and digging up more than 10,000 people of the national army in half a month.

Wang Dehou reported the situation to Li Yunlong, naturally to understand the matter clearly.

If the Independent Brigade really pulls a strong man, then, according to the discipline of the Eighth Route Army, it will be dealt with as it should be.

"Chu Yunfei did a good job this time!" After Li Yunlong finished understanding, he nodded, his expression very satisfied.

On the side of the independent brigade, as long as the grassroots officers and soldiers of the national army, there are basically no officers above the battalion level.

Many officers of the national army at the battalion level, even at the company level and above, were loyal to Principal Chang.

However, most of the platoon and squad officers, as well as the soldiers of the grassroots national army, were indifferent to Principal Chang.

These soldiers of the National Army, when they reach the side of the Eighth Route Army, will definitely be able to exert stronger combat effectiveness.

However, compared with the discipline of the Eighth Route Army, there is still a big gap.

After these soldiers arrived at the independent brigade, they still needed to undergo some ideological transformation in order to bring into play stronger combat effectiveness.

Therefore, Chu Yunfei asked the regiment headquarters to transfer grassroots officers.

"Regiment commander, the main force of our new regiment, this time we will expand the main force of 10W, and the regiment headquarters is also in short supply of grassroots officers."

Wang Dehou said in a worried tone.

The main force of the new regiment is only 15W people, and if two-thirds of the total strength is expanded, it will inevitably draw out a large number of veterans and elites of each main battalion, as well as grassroots officers.

In this way, there will be no redundant junior officers to the independent brigade.

Even the main force of the new regiment had to request support from headquarters.

Although there are many militia units in the Central Hebei Military Region and the Southern Hebei Military Region, these two military regions have also had to be expanded, and there are no superfluous officers to support the new regiment.

Li Yunlong's eyes narrowed slightly: "Send a telegram to the division commander and the brigade commander, saying that we can use weapons and ammunition to exchange for grassroots officers." ”

After a pause, Li Yunlong said again: "In addition, send a telegram to the division headquarters of the 115th and 120th Divisions, and we can exchange heavy weapons with them for grassroots officers." ”

Wang Dehou's eyes lit up slightly when he heard this.

In this way, the grassroots officers of the current expansion of the army can basically be resolved.

Although the 115th and 120th Divisions are also developing relatively quickly, they are still far behind the new regiment and the 129th Division.

However, the 115th and 120th Divisions were, after all, units reorganized from the old Red Army, with a strong will to fight, a tough work style, and a high ideological consciousness.

After all, these two divisions were relatively far from the headquarters.

The 129th Division was close to the water, and most of the weapons, ammunition, and combat materials handed over by Li Yunlong went into the pockets of Division Commander Liu.

Although the headquarters also allocated some equipment to the 115th and 120th Divisions, the number was not large.

However, the 115th and 120th Divisions have trained many officers and cadres in the past few years.

Li Yunlong didn't need to take too much equipment, just more than a dozen tanks and dozens of new-style heavy artillery pieces could be exchanged for a large number of grassroots officers with rich experience in leading troops and commanding experience.

Li Yunlong smiled slightly.

If you give the commander of the 115th division and the commander of the 120th division a couple of 203-mm howitzers and a couple of Katyusha rocket launchers.

These two division commanders must have been so happy that they couldn't sleep all night.

Moreover, Li Yunlong handed over so many weapons, ammunition, and materials to the headquarters this time, and the headquarters will definitely make some announcements and allocate a group of grassroots and battalion-level officers to the new regiment.

"Yes!" Wang Dehou smiled slightly.

It is an old tradition of the Eighth Route Army to exchange weapons and ammunition for officers with fraternal units.

Today's new regiment can be said to be very rich, and there is no problem at all in taking out some heavy weapons to exchange officers with brother troops.

To each his own, he takes what he needs.

It can not only solve the shortage of grassroots officers in the new regiment, but also enhance the combat effectiveness of fraternal troops.

It's the best of both worlds.

Today, the Eighth Route Army is able to independently produce 122 mm caliber artillery shells.

However, shells with a caliber of more than 150 mm still need to rely on Boss Chen.

So Li Yunlong only needs to support the 122-mm howitzers of the fraternal troops.

In the Asian theater, the 105-mm howitzer can be called a heavy artillery, and the 122-mm howitzer is naturally among the heavy artillery.

The 105-mm howitzers and 150-mm howitzers that were previously replaced by the artillery units of the new regiment can also be taken out to exchange with the brother units for junior officers.

These weapons are obsolete goods in the new regiment, but for the brother troops, they are more precious than gold ingots.

In this way, the affairs of grassroots officers can basically be solved.

"The Captain." Wang Dehou immediately asked: "How many heavy weapons do we have to come up with to exchange with our brother troops for grassroots officers?" ”

"Don't rush yet." Li Yunlong said, "First ask the brother troops how many grassroots officers they can come up with, and then we will support how many weapons we will support depending on the situation." ”

"Yes!" Wang Dehou nodded and said, "Regiment commander, the problem of our grassroots officers has been solved, but what about battalion and company officers?" ”

The grass-roots officers of the new regiment mainly refer to platoon commanders and squad leader officers.

The battalion and company levels of the new regiment are equivalent to the regimental and battalion levels of other troops, and they are also reinforced regiments and reinforced battalions.

In this way, the regimental headquarters has higher requirements for the quality of officers at the battalion and company levels.

And.

Each battalion is assigned two battalion-level officers, namely the battalion commander and instructor, and each company is assigned two company-level officers, respectively, the company commander and the instructor.

Li Yunlong carefully calculated, the new regiment will expand the main force of 10W, that is, 10 heavy composite battalions.

Each heavy composite battalion has 8 battalions under its jurisdiction, and a total of 80 battalions need to be expanded, 160 battalion commanders and instructors, and nearly 1,000 company commanders and instructors.

Li Yunlong sat on the chair with his buttocks, his fingers tapped on the tabletop, and he thought: "Battalion and company-level officers, the headquarters should solve some problems for us, and we can also exchange company-level officers with our brother troops, but our gap is still relatively large, so we can only be promoted from the company commanders of the main battalions, and in addition, like Wang Gensheng, Wang Xikui and Li Changshun of the Sword Brigade, it is time to be promoted to battalion commanders." ”

The Sword Brigade was originally a battalion-level unit, Wang Xikui was equivalent to the deputy battalion level, and Wang Gensheng, Li Changshun and Cao Jinwang were equivalent to the company level.

The new batch of special combat soldiers Wang has grown up, such as Wang Yousheng, Ma Chengfeng, Zhang Tianfu and others, who have been able to take charge on their own, and it is time to be promoted to the captains of the squadrons of the Sword Brigade.

And Wang Xikui, Wang Gensheng and others, it is also time to be promoted to battalion commanders and take on more important positions.

Although with a battalion and with a special forces, there is a big difference, and there is a big difference in the difficulty of the tasks.

But Li Yunlong has confidence in them.

A few people from the special forces command large units to fight, and compared with other battalion commanders in tactical command, they have unique characteristics, and they may be able to achieve different results.

Li Yunlong continued: "If battalion and company-level officers are still not enough, then let a battalion commander serve as a battalion commander and instructor at the same time, and a company commander should serve as a company commander and instructor at the same time. ”

Before Zhao Gang came to the new regiment as political commissar, most of the time, Li Yunlong served as the regiment leader and political commissar.

In charge of both the military affairs and the lives of the troops, they also have to do ideological and political work for the troops.

This requires a high level of competence from officers.

Wang Dehou: "Yes! ”
