Let's turn our attention back to the new second regiment again.

The day after the audition, the sun gradually rose, the roosters in the village crowed on time, and the fighters struggled to get up.

The squad leaders began to take roll calls in the barracks of the troops, and the soldiers rubbed their somewhat sore shoulders and walked out of the dormitory to prepare for the morning exercise.

After half an hour of morning exercise, they need to go back to the dormitory to tidy up housekeeping. This is a point that Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang particularly emphasized, and the two even arranged for the person in charge to check this matter.

After breakfast, Zhao Gang originally planned to take a platoon of soldiers to a nearby village to do propaganda work, but when he was still preparing his horse, he was suddenly pulled away by Li Yunlong.

He didn't tell Zhao Gang what the situation was, but just dragged him in the direction of the regimental command post, like a thief who wanted to sell stolen goods.

Zhao Gang, who was confused, was still a little anxious at this time, but knowing that his head of the regiment would not mess around, he must have something to discuss with him, so he asked patiently:

"Lao Li, I also made an appointment with two village chiefs to talk about work in the morning, do you have anything important to discuss with me? I'm a little short on time, you make a long story short. ”

In the blink of an eye, the two had already entered the command post, and Li Yunlong took out a map from the drawer and spread it on the table.

"Lao Zhao, did you hear the wind coming from the headquarters? We're going to have to hurry up with this last time to train. ”

Zhao Gang nodded, although he had not yet received the official document issued by his superiors, he knew that the headquarters organs and various departments of the logistics department were making pre-war preparations.

Although the current situation has entered a stalemate, both sides are accumulating strength, and it is possible that it will suddenly exert force at any time.

The strength of the devils in North China has broken through to 440,000, which accounts for almost half of the total strength of the Japanese army invading China, and even the number of puppet troops here has reached an unprecedented 150,000.

Because of the enemy's indirect sweep, it was difficult for the Eighth Route Army to carry out its work in North China, and the speed of expansion of the base area was greatly affected.

Moreover, Tada Jun's three-light policy not only lost his conscience, but also seriously damaged the mass base in the base areas, which was something that the headquarters could not tolerate.

In addition, Xiaori continued to build railways, roads, and bunkers, and the various base areas have been divided into blocks. They are not closely connected with each other and are vulnerable to enemy raids.

This is also the reason why Kong Jie will encounter Sakata United head-on in the field at that time.

If the stalemate continues, it will be very unfavorable to our army, and the Eighth Route Army will be eaten away sooner or later.

Therefore, the headquarters decided to launch a large-scale military operation, attacking several enemy military points at the same time to break the current bad situation.

It was originally planned to attack the whole army in April this year, but the captain of the transport brigade fell ill again. This bald head is doing things that affect internal unity under the sign of the Anti-Japanese War, so the vice president can only cancel the plan temporarily.

It took more than 20 days before and after, and the Eighth Route Army received the materials from the transportation captain. However, because the situation has changed due to the delay for too long, the troops need to be redeployed.

In the end, the headquarters decided to start the operation before September this year, because once the autumn harvest began, the soldiers would lose the important cover of the green gauze tent.

After Li Yunlong heard the news from the brigade commander, the first thing he thought about was how to improve the combat effectiveness of his comrades.

At that time, their new second regiment will definitely follow the 386 journey, and as the commander of the regiment, he can't bear to see the soldiers under his command suffer heavy losses.

Therefore, Grand Master Li prepared to find a suitable place for the recruits to see blood and accumulate some combat experience before the big battle.

After a short day with Zhao Gang, Li Yunlong knew that his partner was not a pedantic person, and he decided to inform the other party of his thoughts.

This behavior also proves that in his heart, Zhao Gang is no longer an outsider, but a comrade who can discuss combat missions without reservation. There is no need to play in secret no matter what, as you did with the previous political commissars.

Although he already has a general framework for the action plan, he still hopes that the political commissar can find problems or make suggestions, and the two of them can work together to fill in the gaps to make the plan better.

After all, before conducting a military operation, it is necessary to discuss it carefully to ensure the scientific nature of the combat mission, so that the troops can achieve the maximum gain with the minimum consumption.

"Lao Zhao, do you know this place in Wanjia Town, I am going to let the soldiers in the regiment practice their hands in this place."

"I'll give you the answer, I've been studying this matter for a long time. At that time, when he was removed from the new regiment, Ding Wei told me the information about Wanjia Town. ”

"When I was working in the logistics department, I also took the time to go there to inspect it myself."

After Zhao Gang heard the name of the place, he immediately walked to the map and began to analyze. In order to reassure his political commissar, Grand Master Li continued:

"You see, although this Wanjia town is next to Zhengtai Road, there are no devils stationed nearby. Even if they sent a message calling for help, the devils couldn't catch up for a while. ”

"The enemy here is the Eighth Mixed Brigade of the Devil Emperor Allied Army, which was originally a preserved fruit security regiment, and its combat effectiveness is very average, and it is not even second-rate."

"This kind of strength is very suitable for soldiers to practice, and it can also accumulate a wave of experience corresponding to cavalry."

Although the new Second Regiment is stationed more than 50 kilometers away from Wanjia Town, Li Yunlong's deployment of devil troops has obviously been studied, and this fully shows that the intelligence work is in place.

Moreover, the security regiment is not a regular army, at best it is a local armed force.

Its composition is mainly composed of unemployed vagrants and local ruffians, and most of the time they can only bully and bully the common people, barely maintaining local law and order.

It is very likely that their strength is not as good as that of powerful bandits, and their combat effectiveness is even worse after becoming traitors, after all, the devils have never completely trusted the puppet army.

Seeing Li Yunlong talking eloquently, Zhao Gang nodded, and in his experience, he didn't find any flaws in the plan for the time being.

"I see that in addition to wanting to train troops, you Li Yunlong are also eyeing the military horses of Wanjia Town, right? The brigade commander is right, you guy doesn't even want to suffer in battle. ”

"It seems that you don't plan to report this matter to the brigade headquarters, so you are not afraid that the brigade commander will throw you back to the logistics department at that time?"

Obviously, Li Yunlong has considered this problem, and he pretended to be an honest man with both hands, as if he had been greatly wronged.

"Your old Zhao is an intellectual, you can't talk nonsense and wronged good people. Not long after the new Second Regiment was established, we don't have a radio station. ”

"If I had that condition, I would definitely communicate with my superiors, but I couldn't do it."

"But we're not messing around, I'll send someone to inform the brigade headquarters when the operation is over."

As a matter of fact, during this period, the General Headquarters provided the commanders and fighters of the major backbone regiments with greater independence and autonomy so that they could give full play to their subjective initiative under special circumstances.

But there is no clear order on paper, and most of it is a verbal agreement from the superiors. Therefore, judging whether a violation of discipline is actually judged by the results of the battle in many cases.

Just like in the period of the new regiment, it was because of the tacit approval of the brigade commander that he was able to bring the troops up within a year.

Moreover, Grand Master Li knew that at the level of his new Second Regiment, it was simply not enough to raise a cavalry battalion.

There were so many fighters in the regiment who needed to be trained, and food was already tight. Horses are still very expensive, and they need to eat concentrate feed, and if they want to raise them well, they consume at least ten times more than warriors.

It is absolutely impossible for him to raise a battalion of horses and technical troops in a regiment, unless the new second regiment sucks up all the villages in the defense area. But if you dare to do this, without the brigade commander's action, the soldiers will shoot him with black guns.

The reason why he didn't report in advance was to fight for more benefits, he already had experience in talking to the brigade commander for so many years.

Zhao Gang nodded, special treatment in special periods. They are all raised by their fathers and mothers, and he doesn't want the soldiers to fight hard for the first time.

Moreover, the brigade headquarters and the new second regiment supplemented the cavalry, which could play a greater role in the next operation, and the two quickly reached an agreement on this matter.

Seeing that the matter was solved so simply, Li Yunlong was in a good mood and told the detailed arrangements.

The enemy's combat effectiveness is not strong, and the only thing to worry about is the railway patrol of the devils. But these little days, they don't care about anything except the safety of the railway, and Li Yunlong has also figured out their patrol rules.

"I'm going to take a battalion to do this, run fifty kilometers, launch an attack in the early hours of tomorrow morning, and if it goes well, the battle can be ended in an hour."

"Lao Zhao, just look at it, you can see hundreds of horses early tomorrow morning."

The reason why Li Yunlong wanted to go out in person was not because he questioned Zhang Dabiao's command ability. It's simply because I've dealt with too many trivial matters in the new second regiment these days, and I want to go out and change my brain.

Moreover, with Zhao Gang staying at the regiment headquarters, even if the superiors have a task to pass over, the new second regiment will not be uncommanded.

However, Li Yunlong took it for granted, Zhao Gang is also a doer, and he also wants to lead the team in this matter.

"Lao Li, how can you, as the regiment commander, leave the command post, this operation will be handed over to me."

"It is my duty as a political commissar to train troops in a real combat way, and to be able to communicate deeply with the soldiers."

"And since you have decided to notify the brigade headquarters, then you can send a messenger in time after we leave, and then we can talk a little less."

Hearing this, Li Yunlong was a little unhappy, he didn't expect Zhao Gang, a political commissar with thick eyebrows and big eyes, to want to make trouble.

Just when he was still thinking about how to communicate with the other party, Zhao Gang had already seen through Li Yunlong's thoughts and made his own big move.

"Regiment commander, you don't want the brigade commander to know about leaving your post without permission, do you?"

"I heard you still owe Director Huang some things and a truck, why don't I talk to him?"

The strength of the master is to control the Yi, and Zhao Gang showed his true face in front of Li Yunlong for the first time!

It's gone today, see you tomorrow
