As a result, Kong Jie was confused by him after just a few words.
"You only have one regiment, why do you need so many artillery pieces? Could it be that your kid is planning to set up an artillery regiment... Do you think your superiors will agree?"
"Besides, we are about to raid Tianjin."
"The artillery captured by then will be much more powerful than the mountain artillery. Is it possible that you don't want it anymore?"
"Never lose the watermelon and pick up the sesame seeds."
Li Yunlong thought about it and it was really like that.
If the Duyi Regiment is really equipped with thirty or forty mountain field guns, and its superiors find out, they will definitely take away the mountain field guns in their hands as soon as possible.
The Eighth Route Army is a unit, and no matter how powerful a single regiment is, it cannot affect the outcome of the battle.
Only when the overall combat effectiveness of the Eighth Route Army becomes stronger can the situation of the war be changed.
Although he had never been to Tianjin Pier, as the ammunition transfer station for the Japanese North China Front, there must be a lot of weapons and ammunition stored there.
According to Kong Jie, it would be no problem to seize the Tianjin Pier and reorganize the field artillery battalion directly under the regiment into a heavy artillery battalion.
Since the Japanese have prepared so many good cannons for themselves at the Tianjin dock, there is no point in worrying about these mountain cannons.
It's better to use it to build good relations with friendly forces.
Maybe they will need reinforcements next time the base area is in danger.
They saw the benefits of this joint operation. Next time they come to reinforce the Yizhong base area, they will definitely take out the weapons and ammunition from the press boxes and try their best to fight the Japanese.
In this way, Kong Jie and Li Yunlong gave away most of the weapons seized by the troops during the counter-mopping up.
"Captain, Commander Li... I have a request..." After the regiment commander and political commissar of the reinforcement wing had finished leaving, Huang Yu suddenly walked up to the two of them and said.
Li Yunlong said with an indifferent expression: "Why are you being polite to us?"
"If you have any ideas, just say so."
"Your mind works very fast, and you think about many things more comprehensively than we do. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be able to fight the Wei Zhuang annihilation war."
"Only one group can do it."
"I, Li Yunlong, will definitely agree without saying anything."
Kong Jie followed up and said, "You are the one who deserves the most credit for the counter-mopping victory in the Yizhong base area, severely damaging the Japanese army and annihilating more than 20,000 Kwantung troops."
"You kid, just say what you want and fart when you want. Don't be polite to us."
"Except for promotions that require approval from your superiors, we can help you make decisions on other matters."
Huang Yu immediately showed an embarrassed expression on his face, and then said: "I don't want to be the leader of the Shunping Defense Regiment?"
"Wang Lin is already capable of serving as the leader of the Shunping Defense Regiment."
"I think it doesn't matter whether I return to the garrison or not."
Kong Jie thought that Huang Yu was usually too busy and wanted to take a rest, so he quickly asked: "Don't you want to give up your career?"
"Removing the position of commander of the Shunping Garrison Regiment will leave you with the positions of deputy chief of staff of the Duer Regiment and captain of the Peking Guerrilla Brigade."
"You basically don't have to worry about the guerrilla brigade."
"The only regiment has a chief of staff, so you don't have to worry too much."
"Then I'll have nothing to do every day... No, I don't agree..."
Huang Yu shook his head: "Don't worry, captain, I didn't give up my choice."
"The reason why I don't want to go back to the Junpei Defense Regiment is because I want to do something more important."
"We were able to seize a total of more than 20 tanks and armored vehicles in this counter-mopping operation. I plan to gather them together and set up a tank battalion, and I will personally serve as the battalion commander."
"If the regiment commander allows it, give me some more transport vehicles, mountain field artillery, a battalion of infantry, and the tank battalion can be directly expanded into a special regiment."
"By then our Wing Center Base Area will have the Eighth Route Army's first organic armored force."
"Special team?" Kong Jie and Li Yunlong both showed expectant expressions.
It was obviously the first time for both of them to hear this title.
Huang Yu went on to analyze: "The special forces group is different from the ordinary main force group..."
"It has a special company dedicated to raids and reconnaissance, an armored battalion, a rapid reaction battalion for vehicle transportation, and an artillery battalion. It can advance to attack and retreat to defend."
"When encountering the Japs' light infantry, the quick reaction battalion and the armored battalion cooperate with each other. It will be no problem to kill two infantry brigades in one assault."
"We are not afraid even if we encounter a tough kid."
"First concentrate the mountain artillery to smash the turtle shells of the little devils, and then dispatch the armored battalion and the quick reaction battalion to launch the attack."
Li Yunlong and Kong Jie are both smart people, and they know everything right.
At the same time, the image of an armored battalion covering a quick-reaction assault on the Japanese light infantry came to mind.
The corners of his mouth raised slightly, and the smile on his face became thicker and thicker. He wished he could immediately form the special team Huang Yu mentioned.
Kong Jie calmed down and asked expectantly: "I don't care about tanks and armored vehicles."
"As long as it can be repaired, it's all yours. The other troops won't use it if they leave."
"The personnel carrier is different. There are many troops vying for it, especially the supply camp. I can't give you much."
"As for the infantry, you can pick them yourself in the base area. Cadres and soldiers below the company level can be taken away no matter who you like."
"The artillery is also ready."
"The reinforcements pick what's left, you can take whatever you like."
"In a word, Commander Li and I will see the results of the special mission in three months."
"The special forces regiment you want to form should be particularly suitable for plains operations."
"The head of the headquarters has agreed to our raid on the Tianjin Pier. If the special forces are as powerful as you say, then we will have another trump card when we go north to raid the Tianjin Pier."
Huang Yu didn't expect Kong Jie to agree so readily. He asked with disbelief: "Captain...you promise me to form a special group?"
Kong Jie said with certainty: "Whatever comes out of your hands is fine."
"Although I don't know what kind of special force you are talking about, I believe you."
"Go ahead with confidence. If you need anything, just mention it to me and I'll tell my superiors."
After learning that the troops had seized a large number of tanks and armored vehicles, Huang Yu had the idea of forming an armored battalion.
However, in order to fully utilize the power of tanks on the battlefield, a large number of infantry and artillery were needed to cooperate, so Huang Yu came up with the idea of forming a special regiment.
It took three months to form a special training group.
The moment the army comes out in the future, it will definitely bring huge surprises to the Japanese.
…………
Japanese Army Baoding Garrison Headquarters, Okamura Neiji finally did not wait for Major General Hashimoto to return to Baoding.
He was very self-aware and knew that even if he escaped the Eighth Route Army's encirclement and interception, he would not be able to escape the military court trial.
In order to preserve the military glory he had earned for half his life and to be able to die with a warrior halo on his head, he decisively committed suicide outside Baoding City.
Upon hearing the news, Okamura Neji had no reaction.
From the beginning, Major General Hashimoto's fate was determined in his heart.
Having his belly broken was a relief for him, and it was better than the embarrassment of being sent to a military court by the military police.
What's more important is that by committing suicide outside Baoding City, you don't have to worry about the major general's epaulettes and command knife being seized by the Eighth Route Army, and you can save the face of Hashimoto's brigade.
This is the only benefit brought by Major General Hashimoto's successful escape from the encirclement.
