Faced with Political Commissar He’s amusing doubts, Ding Wei laughed and said: “Old He, you may not understand Lao Kong too well when you say this.”
"If this had been two years ago, I would have been worried about the Independence Regiment. Now, do you think the Japanese are planning to attack the Independence Regiment? What kind of bad thing is this?"
"Look, if Lao Kong knew about this, he might jump for joy."
Not to mention Kong Jie, Ding Wei heard that the Japanese had sent more than a dozen tanks and armored vehicles at one time, and he had already begun to make small calculations in his mind.
In the early days of the Anti-Japanese War, the Eighth Route Army troops were always short of guns and artillery.
At present, preliminary development has been achieved, especially the equipment level of the surrounding troops, mainly independent regiments, has been rapidly improved.
Like an independent group.
"Lao Kong's Independent Regiment was initially just a cavalry company. Later, the cavalry company won many battles and grew in size."
"Right now, they have just set up a semi-mechanized heavy equipment battalion, even equipped with two tanks."
Even Ding Wei couldn't help but feel a little sad when he said these words.
"Even Lao Li's New Second Regiment has a cavalry company."
"On the other hand, our new team inherited Lao Li's rich family background that defeated Bantian United in Cangyunling."
"As a result, so far, we don't expect a semi-mechanized heavy-armed force. We haven't even produced a cavalry company."
Of course, when Ding Wei said this, he was naturally modest.
Although his new regiment does not have cavalry or semi-mechanized heavy troops, in the past two years, Ding Wei has been strengthening the training of the troops, improving the equipment level of the infantry company, and enhancing the absolute combat effectiveness of the infantry company.
In addition, the construction of militia units around the New Regiment has developed rapidly.
The local troops have also established close ties with the New Regiment, and their equipment level and combat effectiveness have been greatly improved.
Like Ding Wei, who was obscured by Kong Jie's dazzling brilliance, although he had been keeping quiet, one day, when he suddenly showed up with the new group of tiger and wolf troops.
The little devils in northwest Shanxi know what fear is.
In addition, when Ding Wei was building a special operations unit belonging to the new regiment, he came up with his own unique ideas:
"It's too expensive to raise a cavalry. It includes horses, equipment, and training. The cost of one cavalry is enough for us to raise three or five infantry."
"If the war horse gets sick again, there will be even more trouble."
"As for the semi-mechanized heavy armored force, it is a team composed of cavalry and motorized troops, plus some mechanical vehicles, and is trained for coordinated combat."
"The cost of such a team is even more exaggerated than that of the cavalry. It requires both training and coordinated operations. In addition, the gasoline and diesel used in the vehicles are definitely indispensable."
"Our new regiment does not have as deep a foundation as the independent regiment, and I am not as flamboyant as Old Li, so I have to build a cavalry company to show off my face."
"So, I think our new regiment can build a special combat force with minimal cost. The main firepower equipment is bicycles that consume no fuel and require no maintenance costs as a carrier of mobility. ”
"A large number of bicycles have been modified, and our light machine guns, 50-type cannons, and even some 60-type mortars have been used. To be more exaggerated, two parallel bicycles can be mounted with a heavy machine gun. I don't think there is any problem. ”
"It is also equipped with a small number of modified motorcycles, which are also equipped with light and violent firepower that can move quickly with the motorcycles."
"Create our new group's unique bicycle-based bicycle team, including light and heavy machine gun bicycles, 5060 mortar bicycles, etc."
"Compared to cavalry and tanks, bicycles do not require a lot of maintenance and are flexible. They can be carried and carried at critical times. They are also easy to repair. They also have fast mobility. They are not necessarily better than Lao Li's cavalry unit and Lao Li's cavalry unit. Kong’s semi-mechanized heavy armored force is lacking.”
This was the idea proposed by Ding Wei at the military meeting of the New Regiment.
After this idea was put forward, it was immediately unanimously recognized by the cadres of the New Regiment.
"The regiment leader is right. If we want to build a new regiment, we should also build some unique troops. We can't follow the old path of the independent regiment and the new second regiment, which will make people laugh!"
First Battalion Commander Liu Zhenguo was the first to express his agreement.
The cadres also opened their mouths to praise.
In this way, so far, the new regiment's direct driving team has developed sound and colorful instructions.
Ding Wei has been deliberately hiding his clumsiness and has not shown it off.
Back to the present.
Ding Wei's words were filled with sadness, and he envied Li Yunlong's cavalry company and Kong Jie's semi-mechanized heavy troops.
Political commissar He Wenqing revealed Ding Wei's inner thoughts in one sentence.
"Old Ding, are you interested in the Japanese armored vehicles and tanks?"
Hahaha——
Ding Wei's face was a little dull, and he laughed and said: "How can you understand my thoughts?"
"In the final analysis, whether it is our new regiment's direct-moving vehicle team, Lao Li's cavalry unit or Lao Kong's semi-mechanized heavy-armed unit, if we really compare them, they can't compare to the little devil's armored vehicle unit."
"I was just thinking, if we can get these dozen tanks and armored vehicles, we can have a new regiment of armored vehicles."
Having said this, Ding Wei felt quite regretful.
"It's a pity, it's such a pity. Why did this little devil go to Lao Kong's independent group? Can't they have the idea of our new group?"
Political Commissar He: "..."
He suddenly felt sad for the little devil in his heart.
Once upon a time, the Japanese were arrogant, well-equipped, and powerful in combat.
Now he has become the money-giving boy in Ding Wei’s eyes!
Isn’t it pitiful?
"Old Ding, if you want these vehicles, why don't we take action to intercept this Japanese armored vehicle unit?" Political Commissar He suggested.
Ding Wei shook his head and said: "It's not that easy. The Japanese armored vehicle troops are not easy to deal with.
The information we have detected so far only shows that the Japanese are heading towards Yangquan, and their target is probably Lao Kong’s independent group.
But we still don’t know whether this is the case and what conspiracy the little devil has.”
"In addition, if this Japanese army is really going for the Independent Regiment, even if we want to rob the Japanese armored vehicles and tanks, we will definitely not be able to bypass the Independent Regiment's defense area."
"Some time ago, I heard Lao Kong say that their independent group had acquired a lot of radio communication equipment. Now the independent group's communication system is quite impressive.
With such a huge movement from the Japanese, as soon as they enter the independent regiment's defense area, Lao Kong will definitely receive the news."
"If we send troops to break into the independent regiment's defense area at this time to rob this group of devils, we will be cutting off the gangsters. We will be robbing Lao Kong of his meat."
"This is not very kind..."
"Old Ding, what do you mean?"
"This matter, now that we have received the information, regardless of whether the independent group has seen the information or not, in order to prevent unexpected events and let Lao Kong make preparations in advance, we have to send the information over before discussing."
"It's just such a big piece of fat. I took the initiative to send information. I have to get some benefits no matter what."
After a few words, Ding Wei finally concluded:
"So, this armored vehicle unit of the little devil, this big piece of fat, I'm afraid no one can eat alone. This time we are afraid that we will have to conduct a joint operation with the independent group."
"Distribution according to work. When the time comes, these tanks and armored vehicles will be distributed according to their respective labor forces."
As he said this, Ding Wei himself couldn't help but laugh.
When dealing with Lao Kong, you have to take it easy. You can’t let Lao Kong take advantage of you this time.
Having made up his mind, Ding Wei just did what he said.
Nowadays, the Northern Shanxi Iron Triangle is closely connected.
After Kong Jie bought a large amount of radio communication equipment from John, he also gave many to Li Yunlong and Ding Wei.
Of course, the "gift" referred to here is a reciprocity of courtesy, and Ding Wei and Li Yunlong also spent a lot of money on it.
Therefore, at present, the three regiments in the Northern Shanxi Iron Triangle are not only connected by telephone lines, but also have radio equipment to communicate with each other.
"Signal Corps, answer the call from the team headquarters."
Jingle bell——
After the phone rang for a while, Kong Jie, who was inviting Li Yunlong to drink at the first team headquarters, strode over and answered the phone.
"Hey, this is a team, I'm Kong Jie... Haha, Lao Ding, why did you have time to call me?"
On the other end of the phone, Ding Weiwei smiled and said: "Old Kong, look at what you said. Our old comrades haven't seen each other for a few days. I miss you. Isn't that enough to just call and say hello?"
"Young Master, who doesn't know that you, Ding Wei, don't let go of hawks when you see rabbits? You don't go to the Three Treasures Hall for anything. Since you called, there must be something serious." Kong Jie said with a smile.
Ding Weile said: "You know me well, Lao Kong! Okay, let's get down to business, Lao Kong, I'm here to talk to you about a big deal!"
