"Don't you say?"

"The God of Wealth behind Li Yunlong will give him a batch of weapons and ammunition every month?"

A thought flashed through the brigade commander's mind.

But it was quickly suppressed.

I couldn't see anything at once.

If next month, Li Yunlong still casually sends out equipment, weapons and ammunition that don't say that he is the boss, even if he is the boss, then it is very likely.

"Li Yunlong, how much food has come out in the past ten days?"

The brigade commander asked suddenly.

Thanks to the strict material statistics system developed by the system experts, the brigade headquarters also asked the troops to record the consumption of food and ammunition in detail, and the chief of staff of the brigade headquarters quickly gave the answer:

"Two thousand tons."

"Two thousand tons!"

The brigade commander took a cool breath:

"Last year, what was the grain output of the three counties?"

There are three main counties in the Taiyue Military Region, Wuxiang County, Liao County, and Yu County.

"There are no detailed statistics, but it is estimated that it is about 850,000 stones, which is only half of the pre-war period."

"Eight hundred and fifty thousand stones."

Brigadier Road:

"That's 51,000 tons."

51,000 tons of grain sounds like a lot, but because the devils are driving people away near the Zhengtai line, the total population of the three counties plus the surrounding villages and towns of the three counties is more than 500,000.

Only a hundred kilograms per capita.

Even if it is evenly divided, this amount of food is simply not enough for 400,000 people.

What's more, a large part of the grain is actually in the hands of devils and big landlords and traitors, and it really goes to the hands of the common people, and 50 kilograms per capita is very good.

Less pitiful.

The common people in the three counties of the Taiyue Military Region are in a situation of severe hunger.

In fact, with the size of the population of the three counties and the grain output, if we want to alleviate the famine in the three counties and greatly reduce the number of people dying of starvation, we need 150,000 tons of grain to barely be enough without driving away the devils.

This is still a small three counties.

The situation in more than 100 counties in Shanxi is similar to that of the three counties, not to mention the sharp drop in grain output, and they have also been wantonly plundered by devils, and more than 9 million people are trapped in a serious shortage of food.

At least more than 8 million tonnes of food will be needed to alleviate the famine.

Because not only staple food, but also vegetable production has come to a standstill, and many people have had to feed their hunger with weeds, tree roots, and even soil.

"That 10,000 militia training has begun?"

The brigade commander continued.

According to the recommendations of the Independent Regiment, the Taiyue Base Area intends to militarize the entire militia.

Considering that there is currently a shortage of manpower and cannot be extended to the entire base area, the independent regiment and the 38th regiment are responsible for organizing the militia units around Yangcun and Shangcun on a pilot basis.

The brigade headquarters dispatched more than 100 political workers to carry out ideological education for the militia units, and the training was organized by the two regiments.

"It's already started."

Brigade Chief of Staff said:

"Li Yunlong and Wu Cheng each sent people and political workers sent by the brigade headquarters to form a militia training group, divided into 20 groups, organized training in various localities, and formulated a set of training plans and training objectives, and also added incentive measures."

"Militia fighters participating in the training can eat one lunch or dinner a day, two catties of grain per person, and if they pass the training, they can also receive a subsidy of two catties of grain every day."

Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang's plan was to subsidize each militia with two catties of grain, but because they applied for 5,000 tons per month, the quota was increased, up to two kilograms per person per day.

"The militia fighters who participated in the training were very enthusiastic, and the total number exceeded our expectations, according to the documents submitted by Zhao Gang, more than 15,000 people have already participated."

"The motivation for training is also very high!"

"Shhh

The brigade commander has been busy ambushing the Devil Dahe Squadron recently, and he has not paid attention to the militia training, but now when he hears about the militia training, he breathes out a cool breath again:

"Two catties of grain per person per day, two catties of rewards?"

"Fifteen thousand."

Two catties of grain a day, and it is all white flour, or cornmeal, which is equivalent to eating one meal a day, which can be managed for a day. And through training, you can also get two catties of staple food.

The family had food for the day.

Can the militia fighters not participate enthusiastically?

It is understandable that 15,000 people participated in the training in nine days.

But in this way, if everyone is qualified, then thirty tons of food per day will be required, and if you count the cooks, the political workers who manage the propaganda of the organization, and the training of soldiers, it will be almost forty tons of food per day.

Forty tons per day!

That's still fifteen thousand.

If the ultimate goal is to take all 55,000 militiamen of the Taiyue Military Region to participate in the training, that is, 150 tons of grain consumption per day, or 4,500 tons per month!

Counting the amount given to all units of the brigade, it will be at least 5,500 tons a month.

"Shhh

The brigade commander took another breath.

5,500 tons of grain a month!

The quantity, in general, is not much, but this is the Jin land, the mainland of the Republic of China, can transport 5,500 tons of grain in, and will not be discovered by the devils, this means...

"This God of Wealth, I'm afraid it's on the same level as the devil."

The brigade commander speculated.

"I'm afraid so."

The brigade chief of staff also nodded in agreement.

Whether it is more than 5,000 tons of food and materials, or the seven experts who came to the independent regiment, as well as the batch of sophisticated weapons and equipment, all prove that the God of Wealth behind Li Yunlong has the hands and eyes of the sky.

Moreover, once this kind of training continues, after half a year, the Taiyue Military Region will be able to pull out 55,000 reserve soldiers with certain military ability, discipline, and faith at one time.

"Then do you want to give Ding Wei a little bit of this batch of weapons?"

The brigade chief of staff asked:

"In this ambush battle, after all, Ding Wei's new regiment is the main force."

"Nope."

The brigade commander shook his head:

"I have another use for these weapons."

"In this ambush, let's let the 38th Regiment be the main force first."

In ambush warfare, who has strong firepower, who has strong combat effectiveness, and who is the main offensive force, this is the rule of the past.

"Ding Wei is afraid that he is going to jump."

The brigade chief of staff said with a smile.

"It's okay."

The brigade commander smiled and said:

"He hates, it's definitely not me."

"Hahaha..."

The brigade chief of staff burst out laughing.

···

"Let the 38th Regiment fight the main force?"

At the combat meeting, Ding Wei almost jumped up when he heard the decision of the brigade headquarters.

"Why?"

No main force regiment is willing to be the main force, not to mention that the 38th Regiment and Wu Cheng were all brought out by Ding Wei.

"Who made you inferior to the 38th Regiment in firepower?"

The brigade chief of staff spread his hands:

"Now the thirty-eighth regiment has six 60 mortars, two thousand rounds of 60 mortar shells, fifty-four grenadiers, five thousand grenadier grenades."

"Three battalions, each squad is all Czech."

"More than 300 20-shot barge guns."

"The regimental headquarters has more than 100,000 rounds of ammunition in stock."

“·····”

Hearing this, Ding Wei was dumbfounded.

"Li Yunlong, who was raised by dog food!"

I really couldn't hold back, Ding Wei scolded directly at the brigade headquarters.

The brigade chief of staff almost didn't collapse and burst out laughing.

Although he is also the head of the regiment now, both of them are his old bosses, and Wu Cheng can only look at his nose and nose and heart, as if he does not exist.

···

Although Grand Master Ding was very unhappy.

But the main task of the ambush still fell on the 38th Regiment.

Who makes himself inferior to others?

Who let Li Yunlong, an old comrade-in-arms, deliberately turn his elbow outward?

Ding Wei also honestly accepted the arrangement of his superiors and set up an ambush with a new regiment on both wings.

Considering that the devils will not be as careless as last time this time, and that there are more troops participating in the battle, there are 3,300 people, and the ratio of our army's strength to the devils is more than twenty to one.

So this time the ambush battle chose the battlefield on an open ground.

The terrain is more open than the Xingzigou ambushed by the Kawazu squadron of the independent regiment, but it is also a semi-canyon terrain with mountains on both flanks.

In fact, this is also the general terrain of the Jindi Highway.

On the highway between He County and Liao County.

The 38th Regiment constructed eleven firing positions, including two artillery positions, on both flanks of the road, and planted mines on the road modified from German-made grenades.

The new regiment plugged the gaps in the front and rear to form an encirclement.

On the evening of the 30th, a squadron of devils came from the direction of Yangquan and Hexian, the forward was a sharp knife group of ten devils in a detachment, and more than a kilometer behind was a large army of more than 100 devils.

There were also small alert units spread out on both flanks.

This time, the devil was obviously honest, and the main body of the brigade of more than 130 people, the front and rear queues pulled out a marching array of more than 500 meters, and scattered relatively widely.

With such a formation, even the firepower of the original independent regiment could hardly be wiped out by a third at once.

This time, however, it was the real two main regiments that were ambushed, with troops of more than three thousand people.

After the devil's sharp knife group passed, most of the devils finally entered the encirclement, and with Wu Cheng's order, the eleven positions opened fire in unison, pouring dense fire on the devils on the road.

Although the firepower is not as good as the original first battalion and the second battalion of the independent regiment, and the devils are also marching in stragglers, and the position is far away from the devils' queue, the first round of firepower still killed one-fifth of the devils.

Subsequently, the 38th Regiment began to advance steadily, gradually advancing, tightening the encirclement and cutting the devils on the road.

In the face of the ambush of superior forces and superior firepower, in just fifteen minutes, the remnants of the Dahe squadron were cut in half, and it was impossible to gather troops at all.

If you can't gather forces, you can't concentrate your forces to break through,

As a last resort, the devil commander, Captain Ohi, could only order the front and rear to break through in the direction of the road.

Ignoring the small number of devils who broke through to the rear of the road, the 38th Regiment concentrated its forces to surround more than 80 devils in the front, and finally gradually annihilated them with the superiority of troops and firepower.

The devils who broke through to the rear of the road, that is, in the direction of Hexian, were surrounded by Ding Wei.

Grand Master Ding was in a very bad mood, but now he couldn't trouble Li Yunlong, so he got angry with the devils, and he didn't let go of any of the more than forty devils.

The battle went smoothly and ended in just over an hour.

Among them, there were 151 people in the Dahe squadron, only 10 devils from the Sharp Knife Group escaped, and the main force of the remaining 141 squadrons was completely annihilated.

The 38th Regiment and the 1st New Regiment suffered only 41 casualties, of which 12 were killed, 11 were seriously wounded, and 18 were lightly wounded.

Even if you lose your own casualties and die against the devil, it is a big victory of three to one.

After tidying up the battlefield, the new 1st and 38th regiments withdrew to the base area with the booty.
