Chapter 43: Expansion of the Army

"Let's go, the cooking class is cooking now, you can eat later, let's go first!" Li Yunlong took the reconnaissance platoon to the cooking class, and he sat with He Jiaming, "Next, I am going to attack with the main force of the regiment, do you have any ideas for the reconnaissance platoon?" ”

He Jiaming had an idea early in the morning, and then said: "I want to take them to train, and I won't go out recently!" ”

"Well, I think so too, the garrison always needs to be guarded, and there are a lot of weapons now, but our troops are insufficient, but we still need to sharpen it before we can expand the army!"

"In addition, the reputation of our Eighth Route Army also needs to be beaten, and now the main force of the brigade is cooperating with the frontal battlefield to contain the enemy's rear supply lines, and we still need our newly built troops to develop around the base area!"

"Although the brigade headquarters did not force the order, the regiments began to act!"

"We must move too!"

He Jiaming asked: "Now the little devils are not strong enough and are tightening up in cities, county towns and along the railway!" ”

"How are you going to fight?"

Li Yunlong grinned, "Don't deal with them first, develop the base area first, do it in the villages around us first, and all the landlords who have become traitors will be cleaned up and distributed land to the people!" ”

"At the same time, it is also to deter those landlords who want to be traitors!"

"In addition, the bandits who oppress the people around must also be cleaned up!"

"Don't we have mortars and grenadiers now? It's a lot easier to attack the mountain in this way, otherwise I really wouldn't be able to do it directly to them! ”

"When these are all dealt with, then the surrounding people will have a new understanding of our Eighth Route Army, and then we will start to expand the army!"

He Jiaming suddenly realized that Li Yunlong is very skillful!

And it is also the fastest way to develop, after all, the main forces are now attacking the enemy's supply lines and do not have time to deal with the problems in the base areas.

Therefore, a few regiments were formed, so that they could develop on the one hand, and on the other hand, develop the base areas on the other, and at the same time have the cooperation of local organizations.

"It just so happens that I'm not familiar with this matter, the regiment commander will take the main force of the regiment to do it, and I will take the reconnaissance platoon for training!" He Jiaming agreed.

"Okay, that's it!"

The two divide the labor, this time He Jiaming will take care of the house, and the new main force will attack!

The most important intelligence work is the responsibility of the local organization, after all, this is not military intelligence, but the collection of local information, and the local people know very well about the situation in each village.

It is very clear that the landlord is rich and unkind, especially when he is a traitor.

The Jin Sui army itself is a local army, and they are intertwined in Jin Province, and it is also clear how the Jin Sui army, which surrendered and was captured, chose in the end.

This is also the reason why Li Yunlong first chose to crack down on traitors, landlords, bandits and bullies, and it is relatively easier to gather intelligence.

And when the base area is developed and the common people have a better understanding of the Eighth Route Army, it will be much easier to develop the intelligence of the county seat.

The method of encircling the cities from the countryside is completely in line with the actual situation, and it is also simple and effective.

In the next few days, Li Yunlong began to sort out the information, and then took Xiaowangzhuang as the center and began to act!

And He Jiaming also began the training of the reconnaissance platoon, every day is to end the gun, aim, of course, will also shoot some live ammunition, at present the bullets are still very sufficient, if it is not enough, he will take people out again.

In this way, the little devil and the puppet army have stabilized a lot, after all, other troops do not have He Jiaming's efficiency, and they can catch the enemy's tail when they go out, and then knock a stick.

In this way, time passed slowly, and in May, the battle of Xuzhou entered a white heat, and the new regiment centered on Xiaowangzhuang also expanded its control and sphere of influence, and played the reputation of the new regiment of the Eighth Route Army.

Li Yunlong finally decided to expand the army, and sent a message of recruitment to the surrounding youth, which received a huge response.

……

On the threshing floor of Xiaowangzhuang, Li Yunlong and He Jiaming stood together, looking at the recruits they had just recruited.

"Jiaming, how's it going?" Li Yunlong asked.

"I don't really understand, but when will I be reinforced, can't I always be asked to carry a platoon?" He Jiaming said: "After all, there are troops now, but the equipment is not enough!" ”

"The reconnaissance platoon has been training for a long time, it's time to go out and do something!"

Li Yunlong nodded and said, "I took the weapons of the puppet army before and exchanged them for Japanese weapons, and now there are more than 500 Type 38 rifles in the whole regiment!" ”

"I am ready to determine 13 people as a squad according to the establishment of the reconnaissance platoon, and at the same time set up a principal and deputy squad leader!"

"You're going to get me enough machine guns!"

"It's not a big problem, but if the reconnaissance company is not compiled, the efficiency can't be improved!" He Jiaming chased Li Yunlong to ask for someone.

"Okay, but it can't all be veterans, but the first batch of trained recruits, I can give it to you!" Li Yunlong is already generous.

He Jiaming didn't force it, but he didn't satisfy it either, "How many gunners give?" ”

"How many grenadiers are you going to equip?" Li Yunlong asked.

Now there are only two mortars, and he will never give them to He Jiaming, but there are still more grenadiers, but there are fewer special grenades, and they all use 91-type grenades during training.

"Equip three, in this way, I have the confidence to defeat a squadron of devils!"

Li Yunlong looked at He Jiaming in surprise, "Don't mess around with me, a devil's squadron of 180 people!" ”

"And where are you looking for a squadron of devils?"

"You will always find it, and you must be able to win it when you encounter it, this is the reconnaissance company!" He Jiaming was full of confidence, "But the head of the regiment, how many people are you going to recruit this time?" ”

Li Yunlong smiled, "Not much, I am preparing to expand the previous three platoons into three companies, and I have chosen the commander of the first company, it is that Zhang Dabiao!" ”

"This kid has the ability, a big knife makes a tiger and a tiger mighty, and he is a fierce general!"

Zhang Dabiao still stands out!

On the one hand, it is the promotion of the line of fire, and on the other hand, it is also his own ability, Li Yunlong's thoughts He Jiaming is clear, this is to create a sharp knife for the new group!

"In this way, I can be regarded as completely relieved, I don't have to stay at the station all the time, the head of the regiment will send someone to me as soon as possible!"

"Tell me about your compilation ideas!" Li Yunlong was very generous at this time.

He Jiaming had an idea early in the morning, and then said: "The other two platoons are the same as now, the establishment and equipment remain the same, but the pistols are temporarily close to the regiment, and I will figure out my own way in this regard!" ”

"Plus a grenadier squad, the number of people is set at ten, in teams of two, and the rest are responsible for carrying ammunition!"
