"Okay! Commander Wen is a happy man, and I won't be pretentious with you. Our 66th Army really needs a batch of equipment. Just tell me how to cooperate with you. I will go to the 154th Division's station immediately to fully cooperate with your attack. ." Teacher Ye was overjoyed.
They had just received the commendation for going up front, and Wen San came to give him another victory. The key is that he also covets the equipment of the Xinye Brigade, which is equipment for thousands of people. Even if the independent group takes some away, what is left is enough for him to equip several regiments of troops.
As for how to fight, he didn't need to use his brain. He just cooperated with the actions of the independent group. He now has great confidence in Wen San.
Wen San immediately told Mr. Ye his arrangement. Nothing else was very important. Wen San only emphasized the timing.
After hanging up the phone, Wen San's independent group was already having dinner. Wen San also rushed over and took a few bites as soon as possible.
While Wen San was eating, Wang Mazi ran over happily.
"Captain, a troop has just arrived outside our perimeter. Guess who we met?" Wang Mazi was so excited that he even gave it a try.
"Who did you meet? What makes you so happy?" Wen San really didn't know. He had dealt with many troops along the way.
"The leader of the Jiang Defense Regiment outside Xifeng Town is Lin Liangguo. Do you still remember it?" Wang Mazi finally told him about the encounter with this troop.
Wen San was stunned for a moment and felt a little surprised.
Lin Liangguo left a very deep impression on him. He was a bloody man. At that time Wen San persuaded them to withdraw from Xifeng Town, but they held on until the end before retreating. I didn't expect to meet it here.
"How many are there? How equipped are they?"
"It is said that the personnel have been expanded, about 1,600 people, and there is indeed some shortage of equipment." Wang Mazi did not inquire carefully, but based on his own eyes, he knew their equipment situation; it was not at the same level as Wen San's independent group. .
"Let's go and take a look together." Wen San immediately became interested.
Originally, tonight's planned troop strength was still slightly insufficient. It would be much easier to handle if the Jiang Defense Regiment could be included.
Wen San's commanding ability is getting stronger and stronger, and the strength of an independent regiment is obviously stretched.
Lin Liangguo actually didn't expect to encounter Wen San's independent group here. In the past, the situation of Wen San's headquarters was not clear. Now, as long as it is the order of battle of the national army, who doesn't know Wen San's top name?
"Captain Lin, I didn't expect to meet you here. It's really fate!" Wen San held Lin Liangguo's hand and said sincerely.
"You haven't had dinner yet?" Wen San glanced at the soldiers of the Jiang Defense Regiment. Many of them looked hungry and had obviously not had dinner.
Lin Liangguo smiled awkwardly and did not answer the question. All the members of the Independent Group were working hard, which made him unable to speak out.
"It's definitely too late to cook it now. Let's ask Lao Yangtou to get a batch of dry food and distribute it to the friendly troops." Wen San was very generous. With more than a thousand people, even if he was just entertaining a meal, it was not a small number.
"Captain Wen Renyi, thank you so much!" Lin Liangguo did not refuse. The soldiers were really hungry.
"We are all revolutionary troops fighting Japanese invaders, so you don't need to be so polite. If Commander Lin doesn't mind, I'll call you Brother Lin, and we'll go over and talk in detail." Wen San pulled Lin Liangguo to the cooking class. There is no food, but there is still food for one person.
"Brother Wen is so polite. How many years older than you are, but my skills are far inferior to yours..." Lin Liangguo really admired Wen San from the bottom of his heart.
This young man who looks so young has unfathomable strength. Many general-level veterans will pale in comparison to him.
The two of them walked and talked. After arriving at the cooking class, Wen San specially brought a big bowl and filled him with a full bowl of rice.
"How did your group reach this position now?" Wen San asked.
Normally, the national army's order of operations has already been in place. He was the only independent group who didn't listen to orders and was running around.
"We came from Jiangyin and retreated two days later than others." Lin Liangguo did not elaborate, but Wen San understood what he meant immediately.
Local troops certainly do not have the right to retreat first. The battle on the Jiangyin side was the last place where the Xicheng Line ended. It makes sense that the Jiang Defense Regiment only came over.
"So my brother's Jiang Defense Regiment doesn't have a specific combat mission yet?"
"Not yet. My regiment has actually been disabled in Jiangyin. Unexpectedly, we picked up a lot of soldiers on the road and replenished the strength. But in terms of equipment, there are indeed some deficiencies." Lin Liangguo smiled bitterly, and the local troops were lacking. Equipment has become the norm.
"If you're ready for the equipment, I can prepare a thousand rifles for you. Qingyishui's 38 rifles. Each gun will be equipped with a base number of bullets for you." Wen San made a decision immediately.
He has a lot of rifles in his hands, which can reduce the burden on Wang Qiang's baggage team. With these weapons and ammunition, the strength of the Jiang Defense Regiment will definitely increase a lot.
"This...Brother Wen...Brother, I won't say much more. Thank you for your support, brother! If there is any need for Jiang Defense Regiment, just ask!"
Lin Liangguo was a little incoherent, and he was indeed very moved in his heart. A thousand 38 guns, each gun equipped with a base number of bullets, this is really a great kindness. In addition, outside Xifeng Town, Wen San gave him another batch of equipment. This favor was as big as the sky.
Since its establishment, the Jiang Defense Regiment has never received so many weapons and equipment.
"We have a combat operation tonight. Brother Lin doesn't have any combat orders to go forward, so we just happen to act together. Brother, I don't let you do it for nothing. After the battle is over, I will give you the equipment of an artillery company." Wen San You know, the Jiang Defense Regiment has no artillery establishment at all.
Although it is just an artillery company, if the Jiang Defense Regiment is deployed, its combat effectiveness will be immediately improved to a higher level.
"Brother Wen, you are so polite. I am so generous to you. I will go with you even if I hold my head high." Lin Liangguo was really excited.
Not to mention an artillery company, just the promise of Wen San to give him a thousand rifles can make him work hard. There is often thunder but no rain over there, and it is really difficult for local troops to get some equipment.
"That's great! How many battalions does your regiment have?"
"Three infantry battalions, a bit weak in terms of heavy firepower."
"Okay, I'm going to split your regiment into two parts, and the two battalions will be used for ambush. You just need to ambush at the designated position. My troops will lure the Japanese over and we will act with you then. .”
Wen San decided to hand over the task of mobilizing the tiger away from the mountain to Li Baisha's third battalion and Liu Dazhu's cavalry company. Originally it was a bit difficult to take away the 16th Division with this small force, but now with the addition of the two battalions of the Jiang Defense Regiment, it is enough.
