"More than 10,000 trained prisoners of war, more than 10,000 young men who volunteered to join our Eighth Route Army, and several thousand puppet prisoners willing to join our Eighth Route Army..." Li Yunlong's eyes widened, shocked and excited.
, for fear that this would be an empty joy.
Staring at Huang Yu, he asked again: "Xiao Huang, your sister told me wrong?"
"There are really 20,000 to 30,000 people who want to join our Eighth Route Army, not just 2,000 to 3,000 people."
"There are more than 10,000 prisoners of war here who have been trained and have been on the battlefield..."
From the looks of it, Huang Yu probably nodded towards him.
Li Yunlong jumped up from the ground happily and shouted: "Ningji Okamura is worthy of being the commander of the North China Front Army of the little devil, he is so majestic..."
"After a major sweep, they not only sent us weapons and ammunition, but also gave us military exploits. Now they even send us new soldiers."
"With more than 20,000 people, not only the independent brigade and the unique brigade can quickly return to full strength, but several garrison regiments can also take the opportunity to expand into reinforced regiments."
At this point, Li Yunlong's eyes began to shine, and his mind was working rapidly. He was mentally calculating how many new soldiers, equipment and ammunition the independent brigade would need to restore to full strength.
Kong Jie suddenly interrupted: "Lao Li, don't worry..."
"Xiao Huang has a better idea..."
"How about we listen together, and if possible, expand the troops as Xiao Huang proposes..."
"Um?" Li Yunlong's face immediately flashed an expression of expectation, and he quickly asked: "Then what are you waiting for? Tell me quickly."
Huang Yu took out the troop establishment list he had already considered and introduced it: "Commander, deputy commander..."
"In this counter-sweep operation, I discovered that there is a problem with the main force of our division."
"It is not obvious when the independent brigade and the sole brigade operate separately. Once the two main brigades operate together, this problem becomes particularly obvious."
"Each main brigade has its own first regiment, second regiment, and third regiment... It is difficult to distinguish clearly when the troops conduct joint operations."
"I want to unify the troop numbers. For example, the independent brigade has three regiments called the first, second and third regiments of the division... The three main regiments of the independent brigade are called the fourth, fifth and sixth regiments of the division...
"
"The garrison regiment is no longer called by the name of the place, and is directly reorganized into the Duyi Regiment, the Duer Second Regiment, the Dusan Regiment...and so on..."
"In this case, expanding the garrison regiment into a reinforcement regiment will become a smooth process."
"After the reorganization of the troops, each main regiment has three main battalions, a mountain artillery company, a guard company with strengthened company establishment, a special agent company with strengthened company establishment, a reconnaissance company, a baggage company, an engineer platoon, and a communications company.
Platoon, a cooking class, with a full complement of 3,000 people."
"The main battalion has a mortar company, three main companies, a guard platoon, a communications squad, a reconnaissance squad, and a cooking squad, with a full strength of 650 people."
"The main company has three main platoons, a heavy machine gun platoon, a guard squad, and a cooking squad, with a full strength of 180 people."
"The main platoon has three infantry squads and one grenade squad, with a full strength of 48 people."
"The infantry squad includes a rifleman and a machine gun team, a total of 12 people."
"The main brigade has three main regiments, a field artillery battalion, a reinforced guard battalion, a reinforced spy battalion, a cavalry battalion, a transport battalion, a reconnaissance company, an engineer company, a communications company, and a cooking squad.
Make up 12,000 people."
"Although the establishment has not changed, the total strength is 2,000 more than the original main brigade."
"There will be more corresponding equipment."
"For example, the mountain artillery company directly under the regiment has been increased from the original four mountain guns to six, the mortar company directly under the battalion is equipped with nine mortars, the heavy machine gun platoon directly under the company is equipped with four heavy machine guns, and the grenade squad is equipped with four grenades.
Cartridge..."
"The guard regiment directly under the division was expanded into a strengthened regiment, and the heavy artillery regiment was also expanded into a strengthened regiment."
"The Special Regiment has two armored battalions, one mobile battalion, and two artillery battalions..."
"The entire independent group has been expanded from the original 1,000 to 2,000."
"The firepower company directly under the regiment is equipped with nine mortars, two mountain guns or infantry guns, the heavy machine gun platoon is directly under the battalion, equipped with four heavy machine guns, the grenade squad is directly under the company, equipped with four grenades..."
"After the second reorganization of the troops, the main force of the military division will directly exceed 35,000 people..."
No officer does not want to increase the number of troops in his hands, and Li Yunlong is no exception.
When I heard that the Independent Brigade could expand its total strength to 12,000 men after Huang Yu's second reorganization, his face immediately lit up with joy, and he nodded in support: "I agree with Huang Yu's reorganization plan."
"The whole brigade has 12,000 people..."
"I have less than 3,000 veterans and wounded left in my hands. I will give the independent brigade in different divisions 4,000 prisoners of war who are willing to join the Eighth Route Army and more than 1,000 puppet army prisoners. With more than 3,000 new recruits, the number will reach 12,000.
, the proportion of new recruits only accounts for 30%."
"In two months at most, the independent brigade can regain its combat effectiveness."
Huang Yu suddenly said: "Report to the deputy commander..."
"The divisional headquarters can add new recruits to the independent brigade according to this requirement... but at most the independent brigade will have to train for half a month before it can rejoin the battle. The same goes for the independent brigade..."
Li Yunlong was shocked and quickly asked: "Shall we directly raid the Tianjin Pier?"
"Are you a little too anxious?"
"Although the North China Front suffered heavy casualties in this counter-mopping up, the troops in the direction of Peking and Tianjin were not mobilized."
"The troops launched an attack rashly. What if an accident occurs?"
"I suggest that we wait until the troops are fully combat effective before launching operations."
Huang Yu shook his head and explained: "Report to the deputy commander..."
"The combat mission I'm talking about is not a raid on Tianjin Pier."
"The headquarters has just received information that the more than 10,000 elite Japanese troops that Okamura Neji withdrew from the base area have not left the wing. They have all moved into the blockade surrounding us and continue to contain us."
"The little devils in other parts of North China are also shrinking their defenses, voluntarily abandoning some less important strongholds and county towns, and concentrating their forces to defend important county towns and strongholds."
"From this we can conclude that Okamura Neji's main target is still us."
"This will definitely have a huge impact on our raid on the Tianjin dock."
Li Yunlong frowned and answered: "The Japanese blockade surrounding us originally contained more than 10,000 puppet troops. With the addition of more than 10,000 elite Japanese soldiers, the total force directly exceeded 30,000."
"A raid on the Tianjin dock cannot be accomplished by a few thousand people. At the very least, all troops must be dispatched..."
"No matter where you break through the Japanese blockade, you will attract the attention of Neji Okamura..."
"Although we are not afraid of the 30,000 Japanese puppet troops on the blockade, if they take the opportunity to cause trouble, they will definitely cause a lot of trouble for our raid on the Tianjin dock."
"The best way is to eat these Japanese and puppet troops before raiding the Tianjin dock, and beat them until they can't find their way around."
"When we raided Tianjin Wharf, the little Japs on the blockade couldn't tell our true purpose. No matter how many troops Neji Okamura arranged on the blockade, they would be blind."
