After Yang Yuanshan received permission from Li Yunlong's telegram, he ordered everyone who had a task to set off with their troops.

Soon, the vast villages and towns in the northwest of Shanxi Province became lively.

The fighters of the special battalion were scattered in various places in companies and platoons.

Sweep away all cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods!

Whether it is a traitor, a bandit, a second devil, or a little devil, they are all their targets for eradication.

They are well-equipped, numerous, and have a clear superiority in artillery fire, and between the villages and towns, it is almost like no one's land, and no armed force can resist them for a while.

In the face of the devastating offensive of the special service battalion, the strongholds and turrets of the little devils were all breached, and the little devils and the second devils were panicked and kept calling the county for help.

But how could their calls for help get any response?

The soldiers of the special battalion had already cut their telephone lines.

After more than a month of small-scale operations, the special service battalion successfully expanded its base area to connect with the regimental headquarters in the east and the territory of the new 2nd Regiment in Shou County in the south.

The vast area west of Heyuan County, north of Shou County, and east of Qixia Town has all become the base of the special service battalion.

The activities of various companies and platoons in these base areas, the training of their contingents, and the development of local militias have been very impressive and prosperous.

……

Speaking of the independent regiment, since the special service battalion made such a big move, Li Yunlong of Liuling Pass has continuously sent telegrams to the 123rd battalion outside, asking them to be honest and not to follow the special agent battalion!

With his strict orders, Shen Quan and Wang Huaibao are okay, they are a little weaker, and they are not ready to make any big moves.

Now that the regiment commander does not allow it, then they are also doing their best to develop the team and train the soldiers.

And Zhang Dabiao of the first battalion was very unhappy.

During this time, although he made people stare at the road from the water spring to the source of the river, and from time to time he ambushed a little devil transport team or something, and the days were quite enjoyable.

But he has always been unwilling to let Yang Yuanshan's spy battalion ride on his head, and he has been preparing to find an opportunity to attack Heyuan County.

didn't expect that now Li Yunlong actually asked him to be honest and directly dispelled his idea.

In the past, if there was no radio station, he could have called first and then said that he had not received Li Yunlong's order, but now, a telegraph operator and a radio station have also been sent to his battalion, and he can't even find a reason.

After all, if he really doesn't listen to orders and messes around, even if he is Li Yunlong's henchman and favorite general, he will be pulled out to make an example of chickens and monkeys.

In desperation, Zhang Dabiao had no choice but to disperse his troops and go to various villages to develop base areas.

After arranging the three battalions outside, Li Yunlong devoted all his energy to training the new Fourth Battalion and the Second Artillery Battalion.

……

On this day, Zhao Gang came back from outside with a team of people wearing gray military uniforms with patches and empty hands.

"Lao Li, these are the cadres and comrades from the brigade headquarters who support us, a total of 30 people."

Zhao Gang introduced.

When Li Yunlong heard this, he immediately smiled, his fourth battalion was in need of cadres!

Hurriedly welcomed:

"Comrades, I am Li Yunlong, the head of the Independent Regiment, and you are welcome to work in our Independent Regiment!"

These cadres at the company and platoon levels had long heard of Li Yunlong's prestige, and they had also heard that he loved to scold people and was not easy to get along with, but now seeing him smiling like this, his originally nervous heart suddenly relaxed, and he hurriedly stood up and saluted.

Then Li Yunlong got to know them one by one, asked them for their names and positions, and then arranged for someone to take them down to wash their faces and rest.

……

As soon as they left, Li Yunlong pulled Zhao Gang into the room with a dark face and asked:

"Lao Zhao, the brigade commander is using these people to fool me?

In vain I gave him so many cannons and shells! ”

This time, it was the troops sent by the brigade commander to transport artillery arrived, and after sending someone to inform Li Yunlong, Li Yunlong asked Zhao Gang to go to the vicinity of Lujia Village, and handed over the hidden artillery to the battalion drawn from the 771st and 772nd regiments, and brought these cadres back by the way.

"What's the fool?"

Zhao Gang was puzzled.

"There are 30 people in total, just two company instructors, and the other 28 are all deputy platoon commanders, isn't this fooling me?

And they are all empty-handed, this is for fear that I will take advantage of their 30 guns? ”

Li Yunlong felt that he was losing blood.

He originally thought that the brigade commander wanted to save face, so he had to give him half of the company commander and deputy company commander, but he didn't expect it to be like this!

Not to mention that there are only two company-level cadres, they are all instructors!

What does he want an instructor to do, he lacks military cadres!

When Zhao Gang heard this, he immediately understood why Li Yunlong had just asked about the positions of the 30 cadres one by one.

I couldn't help but be speechless.

However, as a political commissar, although he understands Li Yunlong, he will not say anything that is not conducive to unity.

So he still played a round game:

"Alright, Lao Li. Don't underestimate these comrades!

On the way back, I also learned that they were all drawn from the 771st and 772nd regiments, and even if they were deputy platoon commanders, they were all veterans for many years.

Putting it in our fourth battalion as a company commander is definitely qualified.

As for their equipment, it was when they were in Lujia Village, and they were all handed over to the comrades who carried the artillery to take them back. ”

Hearing Zhao Gang say this, Li Yunlong was immediately relieved.

In these years, those who can serve as deputy platoon commanders in numbered main regiments may also be elites who have served as company commanders or even deputy battalion commanders before they were reorganized.

After all, they all walked through the meadow hungry!

He hurriedly asked about the matter again:

"Lao Zhao, is there no problem with the handover of that batch of artillery and ammunition?

The people who came to transport the cannon didn't have any trouble on the way, right? ”

"Nothing is a problem.

They all carried weapons and equipment, and there was no trouble in walking the mountain road to avoid the little devils. But it might be a little more difficult for them to go back with so many guns.

However, I heard that the brigade commander had ordered the local troops along the way to pick up. ”

Zhao Gang explained.

"That's fine."

Li Yunlong nodded.

"By the way, the regimental commander, the new comrade, told me a strange thing.

He said that when they passed through the border area between Shou County and Heyuan County, they encountered many troops claiming to be independent regiments stationed in various villages to develop base areas, and many villages set up villagers' groups and village offices.

Did you send someone to develop it? ”

"The junction of Shou County and Heyuan?

No, the current strength of our regimental headquarters can only be extended to the vicinity of the Liuling Pass for twenty or thirty miles, and it will not work farther away. ”

"That's strange, Zhang Dabiao's battalion is far away in Qingshanling, shouldn't he go to Shou County?"

Zhao Gang became more and more puzzled.

Li Yunlong pondered for a while, and suddenly remembered the telegram sent by Yang Yuanshan, and couldn't help laughing, and scolded:

"Good guy, it must have been Yang Yuanshan's shit!

This kid sent a telegram saying that he wanted to develop a base in the east and south of Qixia Town, but Lao Tzu ignored him, he didn't expect the guy to stretch his hand so long! ”

Zhao Gang frowned when he heard this and asked:

"Lao Li, Shou County is the defense area of the new Second Regiment, Yang Yuanshan sent people to their territory to develop the base area, isn't this okay?"

It's good that Zhao Gang didn't mention this stubble, but when he mentioned this stubble, Li Yunlong was even more energetic, and grinned:

"What's so bad about that?

Lao Tzu is helping him Kong Er stunned!

When he was a soldier, Lao Tzu taught him to shoot, and now, Lao Tzu's people teach him to develop base areas, isn't it good? ”

"But—"

Zhao Gang wanted to persuade again, but was interrupted by Li Yunlong.

"Okay, Lao Zhao, it's nothing.

He Kong Er was stunned not to develop the base area, Lao Tzu's people to develop, can I be blamed for this?

It doesn't make sense!

If you want to blame him, you can only blame him for Kong Er's ability to do it, he got three cannons from Lao Tzu's independent regiment, and he can't develop it, so he still cares about him?

If Lao Tzu was the brigade commander, he would have been removed and Yang Yuanshan would have been the commander of the regiment, and he would have taken Shou County a long time ago! ”

When Zhao Gang heard this, he couldn't help but joke:

"Commander, let Yang Yuanshan go to the new second regiment, are you willing to do it?"

Li Yunlong's face suddenly changed when he heard this, and he said anxiously:

"Lao Tzu is just talking, who the hell wants to get rid of Lao Tzu's people, Lao Tzu is in a hurry with him!"

……

It is said that the 30 cadres were arranged by the people of the independent regiment to rest in a large courtyard, and as soon as the people of the independent regiment left, they began to talk.

"Hey, have you seen it, the people of this independent regiment are really neat in their military uniforms, and they haven't seen a few patches!"

"They still wear military boots, which look like the captured little devil military boots, which don't look so bulky, and they don't move so much when they walk!"

"Their warriors, with their faces still shiny, look well fed, and they will definitely be satisfied! Maybe you can still have pickles to eat! ”

"The equipment on their bodies is good, most of them are three-eight big covers, and the bullet bags look full."

"I have long heard that this independent regiment is strong, and now it seems that this basic regiment is not worse than our 771st regiment!"

"It's better than our 772 regiment's equipment, we don't have so many bullets!"

"That Commander Li looks pretty good, I don't know what kind of gun he will give us."

……

Everyone was talking about it, and after a while, the soldiers of the regiment headquarters logistics came to bring them daily necessities on Li Yunlong's order.

"Comrades, this is what the regiment commander arranged for you, two sets of new military uniforms, two pairs of cloth shoes, towels, lunch boxes, kettles, and bedding for each ......."

When they looked at it, they were all stunned.

This is too arrogant!

After their faces were changed into new military uniforms, the soldiers of the cooking class brought them food again.

When they saw the food, they were even more surprised.

The cornmeal nest is full, and there is a large pot of stew, and there is even a little oil flower floating in it, and some small minced meat.

Someone couldn't help but saliva and asked the soldier of the cooking squad who delivered the meal:

"Comrade, do we usually eat this?"

The squad leader of the cooking class thought that they disliked the food, and hurriedly explained:

"Because there is no war now, I can only eat cornmeal.

White-flour steamed buns are only eaten when there is a war.

There is also this canned meat, although there are still a lot of them in our group, but the political commissar told him to save it, so there are two in this pot of dishes today. ”

As soon as he said this, these cadres were even more shocked, and couldn't help but blurt out:

"What? Do you still have white flour steamed buns to eat? ”

……

When the people in the cooking class left, these cadres were eating their nests and vegetables, and they couldn't help but smile, and some people said happily:

"When I heard that I was going to be transferred to the independent regiment, I secretly cried, but I didn't expect it, but now that I came, I realized that this was really coming.

The life of this independent regiment is better than that of the brigade headquarters!

I heard that the brigade commander didn't have white flour steamed buns to eat! ”

"Yes, yes!

I haven't seen two sets of new military uniforms when I first arrived!

Look at the material of this military uniform, at first glance, it looks like the military coat of the captured little devil has been changed, and it is rattling and sturdy! ”

"I don't know when I will be able to give us a gun, if I can give a 38 big cover, and then give 20 bullets, I will wake up laughing when I sleep!"

……

When they finished eating, Li Yunlong sent someone to give them guns.

When each of them received a new 38 cap, a big-eyed box pistol, and dozens of rounds of ammunition, they were all deeply shocked by the strength of the independent regiment.

Everyone thinks: This independent regiment is too strong!

You can just give two guns and so many bullets, and this is really just the backbone regiment?
