Chapter 193 Da Biao, fight as much as you can, our independent regiment is very rich! 3-character ch
"Old Zhao, let Old Xing be in charge of recruiting soldiers. Our independent regiment will enter a period of rapid development. I plan to expand our independent regiment to 800 people. A battalion is tentatively set at people. We will start with battalions. The extra people will serve as the reserve force directly under the regiment headquarters."
"Two Japanese divisions have been staying near Taiyuan City for nearly half a month, but there has been no movement so far. This is totally out of character. I suspect the Japanese are up to something bad. We'd better be careful!"
Li Yunlong's arrangement was indeed very appropriate. The independent regiment would have equipment for 20,000 people. If they did not seize the time to expand their forces now, the equipment they pulled back would be left in the warehouse and gather dust. What's more, the arsenal would be put into production soon, and a large number of guns and ammunition would surely be produced at that time. As long as they entered a virtuous cycle, the independent regiment would never have to worry about guns and ammunition again.
Zhao Gang immediately stepped forward and said, "Lao Li, I will go talk to Lao Xing in a while. Let him be responsible for recruiting soldiers. I will be responsible for the logistics of our independent regiment. You will be responsible for disrupting the situation around us. The college students will be responsible for transporting the equipment and machine tools back. The four of us will cooperate with each other and must complete the reorganization and training of the troops before the next raid by the Japanese!"
Lin Zhenhua did not back down at this time and made a promise to the two: "Lao Li, Lao Zhao, I will definitely transport all the equipment and machine tools to the village within ten days, and the arsenal will be able to officially start production in 20 days!"
The reason why Lin Zhenhua has such great confidence is mainly that he signed in yesterday and obtained basic processing technology. He plans to take advantage of his free time to select and train a group of soldiers to carry out military production, so as to temporarily solve the problem of lack of skilled workers.
After the three of them reached a consensus, they started to get busy. Lin Zhenhua left the Independent Regiment that afternoon and headed for Heiyun Village. After traveling all night, they finally arrived at Heiyun Village before dawn. Wei Dayong and Duan Peng, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately came to greet them. After a brief greeting, the three of them entered Heiyun Village.
"Heshang, Duan Peng, you two did a great job this time. It took us less than two days to clear out these eight bandit strongholds. Your efficiency is really high. I will recommend you for credit when we go back!" Lin Zhenhua said with a smile.
Wei Dayong and Duan Peng did not refuse. They knew Lin Zhenhua's temper and nodded to show their agreement. This time Lin Zhenhua came to Heiyun Village in person, probably because he had something important to entrust to them.
"College student, stop keeping us in suspense and tell me about the next arrangements. I and your monk haven't fought a big battle in these days, and our bodies are a little rusty from idleness. This time you are personally taking action, so there must be a big battle to fight!" Wei Dayong asked impatiently.
Lin Zhenhua knocked on the table and said in a calm tone: "Monk, you guessed wrong this time. We don't have any combat mission this time! Don't sigh in a hurry. Due to the need for confidentiality, I can't tell you for the time being. After three days, you will understand that this mission will be more important than annihilating a regiment of the Japanese!"
Wei Dayong was dismissive of Lin Zhenhua's confusion at first, but when he saw the 98k rifles carried by the soldiers, he immediately understood what the mission was. He swallowed his guesses and realized it was a sudden realization. No wonder Lin Zhenhua had to do it himself and Li Yunlong had to cooperate from the outside. It turned out that they were going to get weapons and equipment, which was indeed more important than fighting a big battle with the Japanese.
"Heshang, Duan Peng, your next mission is very important. You must guard these eight bandit strongholds for me. This time when I came, I brought you two companies of soldiers, a total of one battalion, which will be under your command. No matter how great the cost, you must guard these eight strongholds for me!" Lin Zhenhua said with a serious face.
"Don't worry, college student. The monk and I will defend these eight strongholds even if we die. We will never let you down!"
Lin Zhenhua visited the eight mountain strongholds along the way and had an idea in mind. Now there were only three days left for the equipment and machine tools to arrive. He needed to return to the base immediately to arrange the transportation in advance and start the transfer operation as soon as the equipment and machine tools arrived.
Zhaojiayuyu is the location of the independent regiment’s headquarters.
Zhao Gang called Xing Zhiguo over alone to arrange the recruitment. This matter should be done as soon as possible. The previous recruitment scale was still too small. Now the scope of recruitment must be expanded. Only in this way can the independent regiment be expanded rapidly.
Zhao Gang handed the tea bowl to Xing Zhiguo and said with a smile: "Deputy Commander Xing, I asked you to come here this time because I have an important task for you. Originally, Lao Li should have discussed this matter with you personally, but since the independent regiment will have a new combat operation next, this burden will have to fall on your shoulders!"
"The last time you went with the college students to receive weapons and equipment, half a month has passed. Now the second batch of weapons and equipment has arrived, and the college students are ready to receive them."
"In order to transport the equipment back to the base safely, Lao Li planned to launch a tentative attack on the enemy's Zhangzhuang stronghold and the puppet army's 726th Regiment to attract the attention of the outside world."
"Expanding the troops will fall on your shoulders, Old Xing. I will be responsible for the logistics of the independent regiment. Deputy Commander Xing is the only one who is most suitable to do this. Old Li wants you to take a battalion of troops to recruit new soldiers. The total strength of our independent regiment must reach 10,000 within a month. This task is not easy. Feel free to ask for anything you want!"
Xing Zhiguo was very clear about the current situation of the independent regiment. It was surrounded by wolves. If it did not seize the time to expand the number of troops, the situation would be extremely dangerous.
"Political Commissar Zhao, I have no objection to this matter. I will obey the arrangements of the regiment commander and the political commissar. I will take people to recruit soldiers tomorrow! Now the total number of our independent regiment is about 5800. If we add the 600 new recruits we just recruited, the total number has reached more than 6400. There is a shortage of 3600 people. Our base area cannot provide so many soldiers. Then we can only go to the enemy-occupied area to think of a solution, which greatly increases the degree of danger."
Zhao Gang knew what Xing Zhiguo was worried about, so he promised directly: "Deputy Commander Xing, I plan to arrange two artillery companies to go with you. With the artillery support of the two artillery companies, even if you encounter a large number of devils, you will be able to evacuate in time under the cover of artillery fire."
Xing Zhiguo actually wanted a rocket artillery company, but now there were big problems with the production of rockets. The entire independent regiment had only more than 20 rockets in reserve, which was not enough for even a round of salvos. Xing Zhiguo had to give up temporarily.
"Political Commissar, I have no problem. I promise to bring the new recruits back safely within a month and a half. You and the regiment commander just wait for my good news!"
Xiaozhaozhuang, where the armored battalion is stationed.
"Zhang Dabiao, your First Battalion was tricked by the 726th Regiment last time. Now is a chance for revenge. The commander of the Fourth Battalion, Zhang Dashan, was injured in the last battle. I plan to temporarily arrange for you to be the commander of the Fourth Battalion. Find a way to take over the Yushugou Market. If things don't work, retreat immediately. We don't want to do business at a loss. This time I don't want to kill a large number of enemies. Make the noise as big as possible to attract everyone's attention and cover up the college students' secret actions!" Li Yunlong whispered.
Zhang Dabiao knew immediately that Li Yunlong wanted him to feint an attack on the Yushugou market to attract the attention of Xue Changming and the Japanese to cover Lin Zhenhua's transportation of weapons and equipment. He heard from the regiment commander last time that the last batch was only the first batch, so it goes without saying that there must be a second batch. He immediately understood the secret and excitedly assured in a low voice: "Commander, I must not miss such a good opportunity for revenge. Last time, my first battalion was almost destroyed. This time, I must let Xue Changming know how powerful I, Zhang Dabiao, am. Our independent regiment is the one that will take revenge. If Xue Changming dares to cheat us, he must be prepared for our revenge!"
"Da Biao, I'm very confident in this matter. You must make a bigger splash. I've prepared a basic amount of shells for you this time. You can just go all out. Our independent regiment has no shortage of ammunition. Let's take this opportunity to show the surrounding forces how rich and powerful our independent regiment is!"
Under Li Yunlong's arrangement, the third battalion was responsible for attacking the Japanese in the Zhangzhuang stronghold, and the fourth battalion was responsible for attacking the Yushugou market. These two operations really attracted the attention of many forces.
"Damn it, how many artillery shells does Li Yunlong have? We have been fighting for a whole day and night, and his stockpile of artillery shells has not been used up yet. If this goes on, I won't be able to defend the Yushugou market. Immediately send a telegram to Colonel Sato, requesting him to send troops to reinforce and help us repel the attack of the independent regiment!" Xue Changming ordered in a hurried tone.
His men did not dare to delay and immediately asked for help from Sato's regiment. However, they received a reply that they should hold on and wait for reinforcements, which would arrive in a day. After seeing the reply from Colonel Sato, Xue Changming finally put his mind at ease. With the help of the Japanese, he would have no problem defending the Yushugou market.
The Japanese in the Zhangzhuang stronghold have also been having a very difficult time these past two days. Zhangzhuang stronghold is a large stronghold with a Japanese infantry battalion stationed there. It is impossible for the Third Battalion to take down the stronghold, but the harassment tactics of the Third Battalion have indeed achieved good results.
"Company One continues to use firecrackers and tin barrels to fake the sound of machine guns, Company Two continues to plant mines, Company Three continues to use artillery fire to launch sneak attacks on the Japs, and Company Four continues to destroy the Japs' telephone lines. We must make sure the Japs never have peace. Be damn careful when doing these things, and be sure to protect yourself! Once the Japs send a large force to pursue us, retreat immediately, and don't fight them to death. We just need to hold back the Japs at Zhangzhuang Point, and don't let them withdraw their troops to support the 726th Regiment!"
