After Li Yuanzheng left, Chu Xiong sent people down the mountain to retrieve the loot previously hidden in the mountains and forests, as well as some of the explosive packs and picric acid bombs brought from the base area. The squad that guarded the supplies also returned to Jian;
In this battle, the Independent Regiment used the first and second companies of the four battalions, an artillery platoon, and a special operations squad, plus three squadrons and a mortar squad of the guerrilla brigade, nearly 900 people, and 380 of Li's expeditionary battalion. Multiple people, more than 1,300 people in total;
The Second Company suffered 115 casualties, including 87 dead and 28 injured, mainly due to poison gas bombs;
The company suffered 37 casualties, of which 12 were killed and 25 injured, many of whom suffered penetrating wounds from the 38th Army;
The guerrilla brigade suffered 142 casualties, of which 63 were killed, nearly half of whom were killed;
Li Yuanzheng's battalion suffered 87 casualties;
There were no casualties in the "Tiger" special operations team and artillery platoon.
The total number of casualties was 381, nearly one-third of the total number. The total number of comrades who died in the Guang Independence Regiment was 162, and a large part of them were killed by the Japanese poison gas.
"Haoyu, the guerrilla brigade suffered too many casualties this time, and morale is still somewhat affected. You must pay close attention to it. The entire company has been strengthened for you this time. The thunder cannons, explosive packs, and bombs are all left to you. The mortars You leave 4 guns without shells, so any more will be useless!
I will ask the Second Company to take back part of the captured equipment, and leave the rest to you. This is the equipment of a brigade and a half, so you can keep it and use it slowly. "
"After this battle, the claws of the Japs reaching into the Heixing area have been completely cut off. They won't be able to come for a while. You can develop towards the more populous villages below;
Establish the Qinglong Mountain base area. Your external designation will still be the Qinglong Mountain Anti-Japanese Guerrilla Brigade. You will also serve as the captain of the brigade, with three companies under it. You will no longer use squadrons and squads. You will just follow the Liuzhen model. "
"Are there any difficulties?"
After Chu Xiong finished speaking, he looked at Yan Haoyu. This was officially his release for development!
"Captain, can you send us some more political cadres?"
Yan Haoyu's request was also expected by Chu Xiong. The most lacking thing for independent development was political cadres. Fortunately, a large part of the 200 cadres supported by the brigade commander last time were political cadres.
"Okay, I will send you three people, and one will be your instructor. Organizations at all levels must be established. You are the backing of the Liu Town base area, so you must guard it!"
Yan Haoyu could feel the group leader's trust in him. They were all old brothers. They didn't talk nonsense so much. He just gave Chu Xiong a hard nod.
After making arrangements for the Qinglong Mountain base area, Chu Xiong was about to leave, but he did not go back to the base area directly. This time he suffered the loss of the Japanese gas bombs. If he didn't find his place, he wouldn't be Chu Xiong!
He only brought the "Siberian Tiger" team, a radio station, a few picric acid bombs, and all personnel's ammunition was fully replenished;
He has already issued instructions to Guiying to find the poison gas manufacturing plant and chemical weapons assembly plant set up by the Japanese in Taiyuan;
He had read in the history books of later generations that the Japanese had a specialized poison gas manufacturing plant in Taiyuan, as well as specialized units that carried out poison gas warfare, including field gas teams, mortar brigade and infantry temporary smoke units.
"Chen Yan, let's go to Taiyuan to have fun!"
After Chu Xiong finished speaking, he led the Siberian tiger team and disappeared into the mountains...
Liuzhen
The construction of the base area has been on the right track. With four battalions and two independent companies placed on the periphery, the six small base areas have completely protected Liu Town, allowing Liu Town to temporarily stay away from the war and become a safe haven in troubled times. A paradise;
The surrounding businessmen came to Liuzhen to settle down. The arrival of a large amount of capital made Liuzhen more prosperous. In order to prevent a small number of mountain troops from entering the base area from the mountains of Central Plains Province, Gao Wancheng deployed the Fourth Battalion and the Second Company that returned to the base area. Tiger Leaping Pass at the junction of the two provinces;
One is responsible for collecting business taxes from passing business trips, and the other is to prevent the infiltration of small groups of Japanese troops. After the Second Company returned, Gao Wancheng replaced all the lost soldiers according to Chu Xiong's request, and also equipped them with 2 flying thunder cannons. Let them guard the Tiger Leaping Pass.
The fourth battalion and the third company defended Chenjialing, so that the entire base area became a paradise!
This is the foundation of Chuxiong in this era. The batch of materials purchased from the Goshawk Kingdom have all been safely transported to the old camp. With a large amount of scrap steel, copper and other raw materials, steel-tipped rockets can be mass-produced. The rocket launchers have been More than 50 pieces have been produced!
Chu Xiong didn't want to expose this big killer weapon too early. He wanted to wait until the 40-year Japanese prison policy was released before unleashing this big killer weapon. It would show its power when hundreds of regiments were defeated in battle!
The arsenal at the base is working overtime to produce 40 rocket launchers and rocket grenades. When 500 rocket launchers are saved, they will be sent to the headquarters to be used when hundreds of regiments are defeated in battle.
The leadership team of the Independent Regiment are now performing their respective duties and making the base area prosperous. Only Chu Xiong has become the boss and disappeared from people's sight...
Heixing, Hejia Town, the headquarters of the 338th Regiment
Since the battle at Qinglong Mountain, the Japanese tentacles have withdrawn from the surrounding area of Hejia Town, and the living environment of the 338th Regiment has finally improved;
Although Li Yuanzheng lost most of his battalion and did not get back the supplies and military pay stolen by the bandits, the first battalion indeed made a great contribution this time.
Thousands of Japs were annihilated and more than 500 guns of various types were seized. This was already the equipment of a brigade. Injuring hundreds of people was already a rare victory!
Shangfeng received awards one after another, and Li Chendong became a famous anti-Japanese hero in the southeastern Shanxi region;
After consuming more than 500 men, the war zone replenished them with 800 men with a wave of his hand. The first battalion became a reinforced battalion of 1,000 men. Now he is high-spirited again.
"Expedition, the Eighth Route Army's troubles have become more and more outrageous recently. This guy Chu Xiong has extended his hands to the territory of our 338th Regiment. This is not his Liu Town!"
"Young Master, it's not good to attack them at this time. After all, they are still friendly forces in a clear sense."
"Friends are nothing. Last month, the Fifth Plenary Session of the Fifth Central Committee of the National People's Congress was held, and the trend has changed in the future!
In the future, the focus will shift from attacking the Japanese outward to inward, and the development of the Eighth Route Army must be curbed. This time you are too close to the man named Yan from Qinglongshan. You have made such a great contribution, why do you only get one reward? "
"Keep your memory longer in the future. Even though both sides are still fighting the Japanese in the same trench, sooner or later there will be a winner. Don't just think about killing the Japanese with your sword!"
After hearing this, Li Yuanzheng couldn't help but feel a little thump in his heart, and said to himself:
"Will there be another 7.15?"
In Jiangcheng, he had seen people fall out of love and bleed like rivers of blood.
Although he didn't like Chu Xiong and Yan Haoyu in his heart, he really couldn't bring himself to swing a knife at them. After all, they lived together through life and death.
"Young Master, are you ready to take action?"
Li Yuanzheng asked anxiously.
"That's not the case. I'm just reminding you to draw a clear line with them. We are facing a formidable enemy and I can't control what others do, but I, Li Chendong, won't use them to stain my head."
Li Chendong said with disdain.
"Expedition, Niujia Village is too close to our Hejia Town. There is a company of the Eighth Route Army there. You take people there and squeeze them out. How can you allow others to snore next to the couch!"
"You should also take some action and show it to Shangfeng!"
