The next night, Xinzhou Garrison Headquarters
The captain of the 3rd Regiment of the 4th Brigade, Nobutsu Sakata, put down the phone and slumped down on his seat with a dark face, his brows furrowed and his expression solemn.
The night before yesterday, Pianguan County was attacked. In just one night, more than 40 wealthy businessmen and officials in the city were wiped out, and more than 300 corpses were scattered in the four directions of the southeast and northwest. At the same time, the garrison squadron was also attacked by two patrols. The squad was slaughtered, even the squadron command post was burned with a torch, and the supplies and equipment placed in the Pianguan County Warehouse were swept away, not even a chicken feather was left.
Yesterday morning, as soon as the news spread, the whole city knew about it. The deputy chief of staff of the division stationed in Taiyuan even called him personally to blame the two squadrons for the loss of equipment and materials. He scolded Sakata bloody. At the same time, He also angrily blamed him for the defeat of the Eighth Route Army's new regiment in the encirclement and suppression of Dawang Village the day before yesterday. He bluntly asked him to give an explanation to the brigade commander, and if he was responsible, he would commit suicide.
Now that things have come to this, what can Sakata do? I can only break my teeth and swallow them in my stomach.
Want to explain? Where can he find it? Except for a truck with the name "Li Yunfeng" on it that forced the door open in the early morning, there was no trace related to the murderer in the city. It couldn't be that Li Yunfeng did it alone in one night. Let’s take these more than three hundred murders.
Helpless, his boss is as big as the sky. Even if there are no clues, Sakata still has to investigate. After thinking about it again and again, he decided to start with the name Li Yunfeng!
Time flies, a week has passed in the blink of an eye
The news that the New Regiment had defeated two squadrons of the Bantian Regiment had spread throughout northwest Shanxi. After hearing the news, the commander of the 129th Division praised Li Yunlong highly and rewarded Li Yunlong with two squadrons of the New Regiment in front of his brigade commander. Eighty percent new crooked stuff.
In the past, Li Yunlong would have been overjoyed, but this time he was surprisingly calm. The two light machine guns that he dug out from the teeth of the division seemed to him like the most ordinary things.
The brigade commander thought to himself: [Something is wrong! Could it be that this guy defeated two squadrons and made a fortune in silence? 】
Two days later, the 358th Regiment of the Jinsui Army also sent a congratulatory message. Only then did Li Yunlong know that the ones he led his troops to repel were the 3rd Brigade of the 4th Brigade of the 2nd Division of the Japanese 1st Army, known as the "Blast" unit. Two field squadrons belonging to the Sakata Wing.
Its unit's combat strength, not to mention the fourth brigade, is also the main force in the entire enemy's first army. The 358th Regiment of the Shanxi-Sui Army once suffered losses at the hands of the Bantian unit; The independent regiment of the 386th Brigade also suffered at the hands of Sakata, an old devil.
The victory of the new regiment in Dawangcun, which defeated the opponent's two squadrons, can be regarded as a good blow to the Chinese army in northwest Shanxi!
After returning to the Dawang Village garrison from the division headquarters, Li Yunlong took possession of the equipment that his younger brother had collected from the side passes and launched an army expansion and reorganization movement with a wave of his hand.
First of all, he merged the original 1st and 3rd battalions to form a new 1st battalion, but he still served as the battalion commander.
On the basis of battle losses, the Second Battalion put half of the veteran company seized from the division commander to make up for the vacancies. Guan Dashan still served as the battalion commander.
As for the third battalion, although the news of the expansion of the independent regiment spread on February 15th, the villages near Dawang Village are sparsely populated after all, and the recruitment offices of the Central Army and Shanxi-Sui Army come to recruit troops from time to time. Therefore, Related work has not been going well. In the past ten days, only three platoons have been built, and their battalion commander is Shen Quan, the former deputy battalion commander of the first battalion.
Although the recruitment work is not ideal, the strength of the new regiment after improvement and reorganization is no longer comparable to that of three months ago. The reorganized 1st and 2nd battalions under its command have a total of 6 companies and 24 platoons, each with one platoon. Taisho Type 11 light machine gun with a crooked handle; each company has a Type 92 heavy machine gun, and its soldiers are all Japanese-style 38 caps. Each person is issued 40 rounds of ammunition and 5 grenades.
There is also a mortar squad directly under the regiment headquarters. Two brand-new mortars are taken out for practice from time to time, which directly boosts the morale of the officers and soldiers of the new regiment and Li Yunlong's confidence.
Now, as long as the soldiers and equipment of the third battalion are replenished, the new regiment will become a complete Japanese-style infantry regiment, completely rushing into the top three positions of the regiments under the 386th Brigade! Even if it is placed in the 129th Division, it will still be among the best.
"Hey! With our equipment, how can Kong Erluzi's independent regiment and Lao Ding's 28th regiment compare with me!"
Li Yunlong laughed loudly, his round eyes narrowed into a thin line.
"Brother, you called me?"
At this moment, Li Yunfeng entered. His thin body was much stronger than before, and his chest was obviously much thicker than a week ago.
"You kid, you haven't missed enough in these ten days!"
Since the Pianguan County Warehouse was emptied, Li Yunfeng's food has been extremely rich. He keeps white flour and pork with him every day. In his free time, he goes fishing in the river, and each time he catches hundreds of kilograms. The soldiers also follow suit, and his sallow face is bigger than the king. The village position had obviously been polished during the war, and the skinny body gradually grew stronger.
Only occasionally, this careless younger brother would behave even more crazily, such as breaking through the ice to take a bath in the north wind; even getting out of the ocean from nowhere, buying a bunch of cigarettes, and then finding it hard to smoke. Hundreds and hundreds of them were thrown to the veterans.
Therefore, in order to keep his brother in a safe place and to truly recognize his combat ability, Li Yunlong decided to promote him to the rank of squad leader.
"Be the squad leader? No! If I want to be, I'll be the commander-in-chief!"
However, Li Yunfeng looked disdainful and his head shook like a rattle.
Hearing this, Li Yunlong laughed angrily: "You idiot! I made the decision after thinking about it for three or four days before I asked you to be the squad leader! To be the commander-in-chief? What else do you want to do? If you become the chairman of the committee, go fight against Taiyuan." City? You are so beautiful!"
"Brother, you must have ideals in life! What's the difference between a person without ideals and a salted fish? Fighting Taiyuan! That's just the first step! I want to flatten Tokyo and drink from the Mississippi River!"
"What the hell? Mississippi River? What river is that? Which village is it from? You little brat, did you sneak out again in your car?"
Li Yunlong looked stunned. Ever since he got a military truck in Pianguan County Treasury, Li Yunfeng would drive his car all over the mountains and plains every day. Once, he even broke into the defense zone of the Jinsui Army. When people saw the Japanese truck, they thought the Japanese were coming. , just about to shoot and snipe, he rushed over, pushed the door and got out of the car, gave each opponent a black eye, and before leaving, he pointed at the car body with three big characters [Li Yunfeng] and arrogantly said:
"Li! Yun! Feng! Recognize these three words! If you dare to stop me next time, twist your head and kick it like a ball!"
After that, he drove away. The angry commander of the Jinsui Army went to the brigade headquarters to question the crime that day!
Fortunately, Li Yunfeng did not join the military because he was too young at that time. After finally growing up to 16 or 7 years old, he still went crazy! Therefore, his identity is still that of a member of the masses, and he doesn't even wear military uniforms.
The brigade commander said that even if you complain to the army headquarters, there is nothing we can do. He is not a soldier.
So, the commander of the Jinsui Army came to Li Yunlong again to question him. He didn't think of looking for someone else, but he met Li Yunfeng, a lunatic. He slapped him in the face several times, his nose and mouth were covered with blood. He pulled the opponent's collar and said fiercely: "Again." If you dare to sue me, even if you are the leader, I will kill Yan Laoxi!"
It wasn't until he returned to the station with a swollen face that the regiment leader realized that Li Yunfeng was the lunatic who had killed more than 300 Japanese and traitors in one night.
What can be done? Just digest it yourself!
"Mississippi is... Hey! Forget it! I tell you, you don't know! Anyway, I'm not the squad leader! I want to lead my own team and be the commander-in-chief! Be the chairman of the committee!"
Seeing that Li Yunfeng was confident and confident, Li Yunlong smiled jokingly: "Okay! Our old Li family is not enough to have a regiment leader, so we need to have a commander-in-chief! Okay, I will give you a week! As long as you can recruit for the third battalion Enough for a company! I will never mention being a squad leader again! And I will give you equipment for another squad!"
"I don't like your precious Japanese equipment!"
"What did you say?"
"It's nothing? You should sleep with your arms in your arms at night! I don't care! However, if I really recruit a company, I will pick two people from your regiment to mix with me. It's not too much!"
"Okay! It's a deal! But if you can't recruit me, just wait for me to deal with you!"
【Ding! Side mission, help Li Yunlong recruit an infantry company! Mission rewards are random! 】
