Chapter 163 The new regiment transfers to the main regiment sequence in the field
In order to support the operations of the Zhongtiao Mountain garrison, the 48th Independent Brigade took the initiative with more than 2,000 troops to attack.
After Li Yunlong learned the news, he immediately discussed with Ding Wei and Kong Jie, and each of the three regiments assigned a battalion to follow and attack under his command.
Now that we have returned to Yangcun, have those attacking troops achieved great results?
The Fourth Battalion of the New Second Regiment and the Seventh Battalion of the Independent Regiment were assigned light machine guns to the squads and grenade launchers to the platoons. Each battalion also had its own machine gun company.
Not to mention Li Yunlong's new regiment, they directly captured four intact Type 38 field guns, and two more were destroyed.
As for ammunition, there are countless of them. The soldiers who came back from the battle almost all carried different weapons and ammunition.
"Brigadier, what kind of wind has brought you here? You came here without saying hello in advance. He was so ready to welcome you."
"You haven't had breakfast, right? They are arranging a cooking class to prepare it for you, and neither Lao Ding nor Lao Kong will treat you well."
"Huzi, go contact the cooking team and open a small stove for the brigade commander, and also send him his treasured Fenjiu."
Li Yunlong came to the house with a guilty conscience, looked at the brigade commander in front of him, and said with a playful smile.
The brigade commander turned back and glanced at Li Yunlong, but there was not much emotional change on his face.
"Li Yunlong, now I am very powerful. Not only can I command the New First Regiment to attack without permission, but I can also command the New Second Regiment and the Independent Regiment."
"What's going on? I think his brigade commander is incompetent and I plan to replace him."
"No, because of Li Yunlong's capability, it would be easy for me to replace him as brigade commander."
"Let's see if that works. Let's immediately send electricity to the division headquarters and the general headquarters and ask me to serve as the brigade commander!"
After hearing what the brigade commander said, Li Yunlong's expression became serious. He stood at attention and carefully looked at the expression on the brigade commander's face.
He knew how serious his mistake was, especially when he looked at the serious look of the brigade commander, Old Li was extremely frightened.
Please tell me that even if his previous position as leader of the new regiment was revoked, Li Yunlong would not be too distressed.
However, it is completely different now. The three infantry battalions of the new regiment can now be organized into machine gun batteries.
They have sophisticated weapons and equipment and a large amount of ammunition. The regiment headquarters can have a mortar company and a field artillery company.
Moreover, they have a very strong cavalry company. Even if Li Yunlong is given a main regiment commander for such a unit, he will not change it.
If I was fired from my job because of this, Lao Li would have no place to cry.
"Brigadier Commander, when he first arrived in the new regiment, did you tell him that they would handle the weapons and equipment themselves?"
"Look, now they can not only deal with a new group of weapons and equipment themselves, but they can also provide me with weapons and ammunition."
"And not long ago at the brigade headquarters, you personally said that you can cooperate with the Jinsui Army in fighting, and you should try your best to cooperate with them."
"He doesn't want to make a report, but our communication is too poor. Please wait until the brigade headquarters gives the order. The day lilies are already cold."
"We, Mr. Li, are trying our best to get some weapons and equipment so that we can better protect the safety of the headquarters."
"At the same time, the development of the new regiment and other basic regiments will also bring honor to your Grand Brigade Commander, right?"
There was silence in the room. Li Yunlong looked at the brigade commander and began to explain.
The Eighth Route Army is restricted by its own number, so each army has different situations.
Take the 129th Division as an example. The field troops alone have the strength of seven brigades.
The strength of the seven brigades is very different, and some brigades may have two newly formed main regiments under their jurisdiction.
However, Brigadier Chen's 386th Brigade did not adopt a super strong organization.
Not counting local troops, they have four main regiments and three basic regiments.
Among the four main regiments, there is the 772th Regiment, the earliest veteran main regiment, which is also Li Yunlong's old unit.
The New First Regiment, the New Second Regiment, and the Independent Regiment are naturally not grassroots regiments.
The so-called basic regiment refers to the deployment of cadres and veterans to build the foundation of the infantry regiment, and then gradually replenish the soldiers and weapons and equipment in the later stage.
Of course, Li Yunlong's new regiment has grown to more than 2,000 people, and the overall weapons and equipment are well-equipped.
As long as they get approval from the general headquarters, they can transform into a real main force group at any time.
Therefore, although Brigadier Chen currently does not have the status of brigade commander, he has actually surpassed the army commander in the troops under his command.
As for the troops commanded by the division commander, there were not to mention several army groups.
Li Yunlong complained aggrievedly, and the meaning was obvious: he went out to fight without permission against orders, but it was not just his new regiment who benefited.
Brigade Commander Chen commanded several regiments, and each regiment had the weapons and equipment captured by Li Yunlong.
"If you say that, then he has to thank me, Li Yunlong, very much."
"That time I commanded the troops to attack without authorization. Not only could he not hold me, Li Yunlong, responsible, but he also wanted to congratulate me on making a fortune?"
The brigade commander looked at Li Yunlong with a smile on his face and said.
"Hey, it's better to get rich than to be dismissed from your position."
"Brigadier, if you want to ask for a robbery, just say so. Don't scare us, Old Li."
"Look, he almost broke out in a cold sweat because of you."
Li Yunlong finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the brigade commander smiling.
The brigade commander whipped the table hard with his riding crop and handed the messages directly to Li Yunlong one by one.
Of course, he also knew that Li Yunlong didn't know many Chinese characters, so he directly stated the content of the message.
At present, Shanxi Province has implemented a cage policy. They are building forts and artillery towers on a large scale and are dividing and blockading base areas.
Because the Eighth Route Army lacked enough heavy weapons, they had no way to defeat the blockade.
The various base areas were constantly oppressed by the Moon Army, and both the main force and the local troops suffered certain losses.
Could Li Yunlong's cooperation with Chen Ziyun in that battle seriously damage the northern section of the Tongpu Railway?
A large number of fortresses and artillery towers along the Xinxian and Yuanpingcheng railway lines were destroyed, which was equivalent to tearing apart the Yuan Army's cage blockade strategy.
The general headquarters sent a special message to Li Yunlong and proposed a commendation.
In addition, Li Yunlong's troops also followed the battle that time and effectively coordinated the battle of the Zhongtiao Mountain defenders.
Wei Junru, who had a good relationship with the Eighth Route Army, immediately sent a message to express his gratitude.
Wei Junru did not disapprove of Yan Laoxi. He specially allocated some weapons and ammunition and gave them directly to the Eighth Route Army.
The General Headquarters made the mistake of Li Yunlong taking the initiative to attack, and the overall command will not give him a reward.
As for Li Yunlong's unauthorized attack, the brigade commander also did not give an explanation. After all, the communication links between the various departments of the Eighth Route Army are currently relatively poor.
Fighter planes are fleeting, and it is unreasonable to mobilize troops to take the initiative in combat without affecting the overall situation.
Indeed, can the brigade commander protect Li Yunlong the most?
Despite all of Li Yunlong's criticisms, I can't protect my thoughts.
After all, if Qiufu allowed Li Yunlong to act recklessly, he would get into serious trouble and even the brigade commander would not be able to protect him.
"The headquarters mistakenly offered me a commendation, but he told me that Li Yunlong must use more brains when doing things in the future."
"That award commended me, and Toji might have just removed all my duties, otherwise he could mess with everything."
"One thing is very clear. With the approval of the division headquarters, the new regiment has requested to equip us with regular officers."
"Commander, go find Yidong Xiaozhao and ask him to come to the regiment headquarters."
The brigade commander looked at Li Yunlong with a serious expression and said, but Li Yunlong didn't pay attention to what the brigade commander said before.
When he heard that he was begging for a new leader to be assigned to his new regiment, Lao Li immediately became unhappy.
Is he known for his good relationship with the chief committee members? Several of the committee members cannot cooperate with him normally and often have conflicts.
Or maybe it's because he, Li Yunlong, is so famous, and now every official shakes his head when he hears the request to partner with Li Yunlong.
So until now, the new group has no official mission.
Li Yunlong is very satisfied with his current situation, and he doesn't want anyone to come and take care of him.
"Brigadier, it's good if the new regiment doesn't have a formal committee. They don't need a formal committee."
"Do you think that will work? He will give you two slightly damaged field guns, and he will give you a batch of heavy weapons. Don't equip him with proper equipment."
"He and the right officials cannot piss in the same pot. They are seeking to cause conflicts sooner or later, which will definitely affect the combat effectiveness of the new regiment."
"You also know that the New Regiment currently serves as the peripheral security guard of the General Headquarters and must not be affected in any way."
At this time, Li Yunlong's face was full of anxiety, and he hurriedly begged the brigade commander.
In his opinion, if Xinyi Tuan Qiuwu is established, he will be restricted in everything he does in the future, and he will be far less free than he is now.
"If you don't treat me with integrity, who knows what big trouble I might cause in the future."
"There was no room for negotiation on that matter, so I was given some wishful thinking."
"I sent him two damaged field guns and four intact field guns as well as shells to the brigade headquarters."
"In addition, I also asked for a batch of ammunition to be sent to the brigade headquarters. I have a basic regiment, a cavalry company, and a mortar company, which is already pretty good."
"I really want to beg for a field artillery battery, I have a big appetite!"
The brigade commander looked at Li Yunlong and said, directly asking for all six of his field guns to be taken away.
Li Yunlong was completely dumbfounded. He had lost both his wife and his army.
It was at that time that the gentle Zhao Gang came to the house.
Zhao Gang saluted, then looked at Li Yunlong and stretched out his right leg.
Li Yunlong was full of anger. He glanced sideways at Zhao Gang and ignored him at all.
Brigadier Bu Nao glared, and Li Yunlong responded with a military salute.
"Brigade commander, you can't ask for all the field artillery to be taken away. At least leave two east gates for them."
"He can give you the ammunition, as well as the field cannon, which they are in urgent need of right now."
"Without that guy, they wouldn't be able to knock down the little Japanese's bunker turret even if their legs were loaded with mortars and heavy machine guns."
"Brigadier, please take away all the field artillery. You can also take away the red-faced scholar. He doesn't want the field artillery."
"Can our new regiment serve as a field unit? You can get him a good-looking scholar. He will need someone to protect him during the battle."
Li Yunlong approached the brigade commander and said with an unhappy face.
I finally wanted to ask for a field artillery battery, but it turned out that the brigade commander wanted all the field artillery taken away.
Not only did Ye Pao see that Qiu Qiu could no longer be saved, but the new regiment soon had a red-faced scholar as its chief official.
Li Yunlong was unhappy and unwilling. He wished he could just lie down on the ground and roll around.
"Xiao Zhao's appointment as a member of the new regiment was approved by the brigade headquarters and division headquarters, and was not approved by the general headquarters."
"Whether I am willing to do it or not, that matter is not negotiable!"
"He took away the field artillery, and the brigade artillery battalion sent three infantry artillery pieces to me!"
"In addition, give me two mortars, so I won't suffer a loss."
"Okay, the matter is settled just like that. You're talking nonsense. He won't give you the five artillery pieces."
"One thing is very clear. Recently, I have been stationed in Yangcun. I can't attack without permission."
"Even if there are fighter planes that can annihilate the Japs and an artillery brigade in front of me, I still want to stay in Yangcun."
"Otherwise, if I disobey the order, he will immediately remove me from my position as regimental leader!"
The brigade commander looked at Li Yunlong in front of him and said with a serious expression on his face.
When Li Yunlong heard what the brigade commander said, he didn't dare to say anything more.
Before leaving, the brigade commander announced an order from the general headquarters and division headquarters.
Then the new regiment will be officially transferred from the basic regiment to the main field regiment.
That means whether Li Yunlong can serve as the leader of the main force in the future.
As the new regiment was transferred to the main field regiment, there was no need to hide it whether it had an expanded number of soldiers or weapons and equipment.
After Li Yunlong heard the news, his face finally showed a smile.
But Lao Li didn't know if the brigade commander could be regarded as the main force of the brigade and be used in subsequent operations if the new regiment came from the east.
Since Li Yunlong is the leader, he is naturally unclear about many things.
But as Brigadier Chen, who commands five main regiments and two basic regiments, does he know that the general headquarters is about to launch a large-scale raid?
That time, Brigadier Chen could come to Yangcun or go to the general headquarters for a meeting.
In order to break the blockade of the Lunar Army's cage policy, the general headquarters convened a meeting with cadres to discuss.
They were preparing to launch a large-scale raid in August, and Li Yunlong's new regiment joined forces with Chen Ziyun's troops to fight in the area north of Taiyuan.
The results obtained by these two troops also gave hope to the general headquarters.
Brigadier Chen asked for the field artillery, but naturally he refused to continue the operation.
Naturally, he gave Li Yunlong three infantry cannons and two mortars to enhance the new regiment's ability to attack difficult targets.
In the battle to the east, is Brigadier Chen prepared to let the new regiment serve as the number one main regiment to enter the battle?
After seeing off Brigadier Chen, Li Yunlong ignored Zhao Gang and went directly to find Ding Wei and Kong Jie.
Two damaged field guns and four intact field guns were taken away by the brigade commander.
Li Yunlong thought that he would have to bleed Ding Wei and Kong Jie no matter what, so that they could make up for their losses.
Ding Wei and Kong Jie are also iron roosters. It is completely impossible to take back the weapons and ammunition in their legs.
When the Iron Triangle meets, it is inevitable that there will be some noise.
Time passed bit by bit, and by the beginning of June, the Yuan Army's containment operations in southern Shanxi ended.
Otherwise, Chief of Staff of the First Army, Kusuyama Hideyoshi, would immediately leave for the North China Front Army Headquarters.
That time, Kusuyama Hideyoshi went to the front army on behalf of the military headquarters, and his purpose was to discuss the formation of an independent mixed fourth brigade.
