"The straight-line distance on the map is more than 80 kilometers. Everyone has their say!"
Li Yunlong did not act arbitrarily. This was also a small test. He wanted to see the abilities of the three platoon leaders.
In the future, when the army expands, weapons and equipment will no longer be a problem, and recruiting troops will be much simpler. However, there is still a problem that restricts the expansion speed, scale and quality of the army.
That is the quantity and quality of middle- and low-level military officers. He, Li Yunlong, must prepare for a rainy day!
The three platoon leaders expressed their opinions. Among them, Liu Bo's choice was the most suitable for Li Yunlong. He chose to go from the west of Qin County, along the line from Guocun to Wuyao, into the branch of Taiyue Mountain, and then along the branch, passing through many villages and towns, and finally Arrive at Baiwanyu!
"Okay, the platoon leader's opinion is good. Tell us what you think?!" Li Yunlong affirmed and encouraged Liu Bo to express his thoughts.
"Yes, company commander!"
Liu Bo pointed at the map without hesitation, "Look, if we go east, we have to pass through many water systems. There are many strongholds here. With our current strength, we can only pass through them at night, which takes a lot of time and energy!" "
"And if we march along the Baijin Railway line, we need to be careful of the Japs' railway patrols. Because our army continues to attack the Baijin Railway, the Japs patrol density is extremely high, and the possibility of encounters is very high. !”
Li Yunlong nodded, "Yes, from the perspective of military operations, your route is very reasonable."
"I would like to add that besides being safe, this route also has another benefit, which is the source of soldiers!"
Li Yunlong pursed his lips and stared at the three platoon leaders, "Comrades, what is our main task?"
"Our main task is to recruit soldiers and expand our base!"
"This is what I think, we can start recruiting soldiers on the road while marching!"
"Whether it's in the east or along the Baijin Railway, the source of troops has basically been exhausted, and there are not many soldiers left!"
"In half a year, not too much, not too much, not too much, we need not only quantity but also quality. With the number of veterans we have now, we can definitely expand to the size of a battalion!"
"We use the old to lead the new, practice while marching, and look for opportunities to fight against the puppet troops along the way. We will soon form enough combat effectiveness!"
Li Yunlong's arrangement was clear, and the three platoon leaders agreed very much. However, Liu Bo still raised some questions, "Company commander, we can still overcome the problem of food and military uniforms, but we don't have enough weapons and equipment. Even the sword commander There are no more spears left!”
Hearing this, Li Yunlong laughed loudly, "Hahaha, on the contrary, as long as I'm here, I'm sure we can exchange a shot for a cannon. What we lack is food and military uniforms!"
"I have already made a plan. Before we set off, let's go in a circle and go here to find our fellow villagers, Lao Li!"
Li Yunlong pointed heavily at a location on the map. The three platoon leaders took a closer look, "Logistics headquarters?!"
"Yes, Logistics Headquarters! You go back and inform the soldiers to use our weapons and equipment and exchange more food and military uniforms with the Logistics Headquarters!"
Upon hearing this, the three platoon leaders were immediately dumbfounded, "Huh? This?"
Zhang Wei, who was more impatient, said directly, "Company Commander, these equipment are the lifeblood of the soldiers. Without weapons, how can we fight the Japanese? We can't mess around like this!"
Li Yunlong interrupted the three platoon leaders with a wave of his hand and stared with big eyes, "In a word, do you believe me, Li Yunlong?! If you believe me, just listen to me. If the old ones don't go and the new ones don't come, I'll make sure to let you all go when the time comes." They all have new weapons, and he’s a very capable guy!”
The three platoon commanders looked at Li Yunlong's vow, and finally chose to obey the command in view of Li Yunlong's reputation, "Yes, company commander, we obey the order!"
"Hey, hey, hey...that's right. Okay, you go and give the order, and do some ideological work for the soldiers by the way!"
Li Yunlong smiled as he watched the three platoon leaders go about their work, then turned around and told Hu Zi, "Hu Zi, you go to the new regiment to find Ding Wei, tell him that I am in need now, and ask him to bring Zhang Dabiao and Wang Chengzhu, let me go!"
After Huzi left, Li Yunlong took out the communicator and sent a message to Brother Xu.
First, he talked about his recent situation, then the number of weapons he needed this time, and the handover location.
"Haha, don't worry, brother, I will definitely deliver it to you on time."
"Besides, why don't you fight the little devil? I'm here, no matter what, I have to let you become a teacher!"
Li Yunlong was in a very good mood when he heard Brother Xu's heroic words in the communicator, "Hahaha, Mr. Li Yunlong? That sounds good, not bad!"
Although the soldiers had some doubts, they still obeyed the order resolutely and quickly got ready to travel.
Li Yunlong stood in front of the team, "Everyone is here, target Heiling Village, let's go!"
As Li Yunlong's order was issued, the company soldiers began to move forward in unison, slowly leaving the village with steady steps.
After listening to all of Li Yunlong's voice, Xu Gaoxiang couldn't help but sigh, "I didn't expect that it really changed the original trajectory!"
Li Yunlong was not punished to work as a tailor in a clothing factory, but was instead sent to a team development base!
Now that Li Yunlong has no constraints, and coupled with his own supply of weapons, it is really "the sea is vast and the fish can leap, and the sky is high and the birds can fly."
Xu Gaoxiang laughed happily, "Haha, that's fine. Isn't this what I want most? Isn't Li Yunlong like this?"
Xu Gaoxiang thought for a while. Since Li Yunlong wanted to build a new team and be self-sufficient, in addition to weapons, he could also provide some other help, such as...
Looking at the sugar delivered to Chu Yunfei's 358th Regiment in front of him, he muttered, "I wonder if Old Li likes sweets?"
Moreover, since Li Yunlong is going north, he must also consider choosing a new address for the convenience of future transactions.
It was not a good choice this time. Li Yunlong's area of activity was basically surrounded by the Japanese army, and there were a large number of Japanese and puppet troops stationed in several counties.
In the end, Xu Gaoxiang decided to take the risk and go to Qixian County. After all, it was the birthplace of Shanxi merchants, and he could rely on Hexingju's identity to gain a foothold.
Having made plans, Xu Gaoxiang immediately prepared to set off, taking Jushi and Arnold to the place agreed upon with Li Yunlong.
This time, for the sake of convenience, he directly bought two large cars to use them as a cover-up.
Just as Xu Gaoxiang rushed to the agreed place, Li Yunlong led the team to the destination Heiling Village. After obtaining the consent of the villagers, he borrowed the threshing floor in the village and raised the banner of recruiting troops.
I heard that the Eighth Route Army came to recruit troops, and the villagers were very enthusiastic. In the nearby areas, the reputation of the Eighth Route Army was well-known.
Although there was no militia in their village, there were still a few young men who were very excited, especially when they heard that the commander of the Eighth Route Army leading the group was the recently famous Li Yunlong, they were even more excited.
