Qingyang Town, the new regiment headquarters.
After two hours of journey, all the weapons and equipment of Qian Bojun's first battalion were finally transported back to the new regiment.
Equipment for two thousand people!
"Captain, we have made a lot of money from this battle!" Monk Wei smiled from ear to ear: "Don't mention it, this Jinsui Army is rich and equipped with all American equipment. This batch of weapons is enough for us to expand by two more Infantry battalion.”
Shen Quan also smiled and said: "I, Shen Quan, have never done business at a loss. This time I saved Chu Yunfei's life and did not let him give me a few mountain cannons. It would be an act of kindness."
"Chu Yunfei is highly regarded by Chief Yan of the World War II area. For him, this weapon is simply a piece of cake."
Political Commissar Zhao Gang was also cheerful: "Old Shen, you have tricked Chu Yunfei this time!"
"If this matter gets spread, no one in northwestern Shanxi who is in trouble will dare to ask you, Shen Quan, for help. So much equipment is almost as much as that of half of Kong Jie's regiment."
Today, Chen Quan's independent regiment has five battalions, each with a strength of 700 people.
The equipment that Chen Quan has seized now is enough for Kong Jie to equip three battalions.
After leaning a little, Monk Wei worriedly said: "Captain, if Chu Yunfei really reports this matter to Commander Yan in the World War II area, and then Commander Yan asks us to return it, what should we do?
After all, it is still a period of cooperation. If you are not careful, you will be labeled as sabotaging the anti-Japanese war! "
Chen Quan said nonchalantly: "I seized these weapons from the rebels and do not belong to the 358th Regiment. Even if we go to the Commander-in-Chief, I will be justified.
Besides, we are all anti-war troops in the World War II zone, and we are all nominally under the command of Commander Yan, but when did he give us supplies? "
"It's good if I don't complain to him. Then he won't want to get these weapons back. They are in the waistband of my Shen Quan. Even the King of Heaven can't take them away!"
With this batch of weapons, the goal of expanding the new regiment to 10,000 people is closer.
In the following time, under the leadership of political commissar Zhao Gang, the new regiment began to recruit vigorously again.
Only with more than 10,000 troops can Shen Quan be confident of taking Ping'an County.
…
On this day, Shen Quan was discussing with Zhao Gang about attacking Ping'an County.
Zhao Gang pointed at the map and said: "Old Shen, if we really want to attack Ping'an County, we must be fully prepared.
According to the intelligence we have in hand, there are two Japanese brigades in Pingan County, and a mixed brigade of puppet troops is also deployed. "
The standard strength of a Japanese brigade is 1,200, which is about the same as a standard regiment-level combat unit of the Eighth Route Army.
The strength of a mixed brigade of puppet troops is around 5,000 people.
All in all, the enemy's strength in Ping'an County reached 7,400.
The power is terrifying!
Chen Quan thought deeply: "Old Zhao, do you have any information about Ping'an County recently?"
Zhao Gang shook his head: "The intelligence department has been working hard to collect information, but after all, our intelligence system has only been established recently and its capabilities are limited.
In this situation, the only way to increase the probability of winning is to obtain a garrison map of Ping'an County. "
It seems that the new regiment's intelligence department, Skynet, has been established for more than two months, but the intelligence search is still limited to the liberated areas, and cannot penetrate the Japanese and Jinsui Army defense areas at all.
At the beginning, Shen Quan wanted Yu Zecheng to develop Skynet into the military control of the national army. Through continuous penetration, he could master the situation intelligence of the entire North China region.
However, there is no suitable opportunity for the New Regiment. The entire intelligence department, except for Yu Zecheng, is a novice espionage team. They are still in the training and learning stage and cannot achieve the goal Shen Quan wants to achieve.
Monk Wei, who was standing next to Shen Quan, said: "Captain, there is another issue we have to consider. Once we attack Ping'an County, the Japanese Gendarmerie from Qingyuan County will also provide support, and then we will be attacked from both sides."
Zhao Gang immediately echoed: "Although there are not many Japanese military police in Qingyuan County, they will also be a threat to us when the battle starts."
After listening to the analysis by Monk Wei and Zhao Gang, Shen Quan fell into silence again, staring at the map and studying it carefully again.
As a time traveler, although he clearly knows the direction of the plot, all he knows is the result, not the process.
For example, the attack on Ping'an County. In the TV plot, Li Yunlong gathered troops to attack Ping'an County in order to save Xiu Qin.
But in this chaotic parallel world, Ping'an County is attacked by Shen Quan. Shen Quan cannot predict what changes and accidents may occur.
The Eighth Route Army has always been good at guerrilla warfare and has little experience in urban offensives.
After leaning a little, Shen Quan said: "When the war starts, we must allocate part of our troops to deal with the Japanese and puppet troops in Qingyuan County. As for the other Japanese and puppet troops, we can only ask other troops to help!"
Zhao Gang was stunned: "What, are you going to invite foreign aid to attack Ping'an County?"
Chen Quan smiled and said: "Old Zhao, this is just an idea of mine. Whether it can be realized depends on the specific situation."
For the New Regiment, the most powerful weapon for attacking Ping'an County is the thirty Type 92 infantry cannons of the artillery camp.
However, Zhao Gang was still a little worried and said: "Old Shen, I am still a little worried about attacking Ping'an County. If the Japanese from all walks of life provide timely support, we will be surrounded by the Japanese.
Even if we divide our forces into two and eliminate the Japs in Qingyuan County, we will not be able to deal with the support coming from other directions. "
Chen Quan consoled him: "It depends on man-made things. I believe God will arrange it freely!"
As a time traveler, Shen Quan is familiar with the plot of attacking Ping'an County. After the battle begins, Kong Jie's Independent Regiment, Ding Wei's New Second Regiment and Chu Yunfei's 358th Regiment will be forced to participate in the battle.
The forced joining of these troops was Shen Quan's courage to attack Ping'an County.
But because of the chaos in the plot of this parallel world, Shen Quan was not sure whether they would support him when the time came.
At this moment, Xue Min from the Dragon Group Commando walked in and said: "Captain, the Feihuling you asked me to send people to investigate already has a clue."
During the previous attack on Heiyun Village, Shen Quan learned from Xie Baoqing that the Japanese plane crashed in Feihu Ridge.
But Xie Baoqing didn't know the specific situation, so Shen Quan asked Xue Min to send someone to Feihuling to inquire about the situation.
After half a month, I finally got a clue.
Shen Quan couldn't help but be overjoyed, looked at Xue Min and asked, "How is the situation?"
Xue Min said: "Xie Baoqing is right. There is indeed a group of bandits stationed in Feihuling. After our investigation, we found that these bandits came here recently and are not locals.
Their leader is Zhou Weiguo, who was originally the leader of the Shandong Hutoushan Independent Regiment. He was framed by a special commissioner sent by his superiors for a purge operation six months ago, so he fled with his brothers to Feihuling. "
"After half a year of development, the more than 20 people Zhou Weiguo brought here have grown into a bandit den of several hundred people.
This group of people has never done anything bad. Apart from robbing the rich and giving to the poor, the most common thing they do is to fight against Japanese invaders. "
After listening to Xue Min's introduction, Shen Quan raised the corners of his mouth and secretly cursed in his heart: "As expected, the head of Feihuling is the famous Zhou Weiguo!"
Shen Quan is naturally familiar with the name Zhou Weiguo. He is a classic anti-war character from the TV series "Snow Leopard". He was originally the commander of the national army. Later, after the army was broken up, he joined Qingfeng Village. After experiencing twists and turns, he finally became a tiger. The leader of the Toushan Independent Regiment.
But what Shen Quan didn't expect was that Zhou Weiguo actually came to northwestern Shanxi and became the bandit leader of Feihuling from the dignified commander of the Eighth Route Army.
It can only be said that this parallel world is too chaotic.
Hearing this, Shen Quan nodded and said: "Very good, thank you for your hard work!"
Xue Min said: "In order to grasp this information, I sent a soldier from the Dragon Group to disguise himself and sneak into Feihu Ridge."
"By the way, there is another piece of information, that is, a female Eighth Route Army wearing an Eighth Route Army uniform appeared in Feihu Ridge, named Shangguan Yufei. I don't know the specific situation."
"According to the clues we have, this female Eighth Route Army was injured, and by chance she went to Feihu Ridge for treatment."
Shangguan Yufei is the heroine in the TV series "Moving towards the Gunfire". Since Shen Quan has not watched this TV series, he does not know the origin of Shangguan Yufei.
Hearing this, Shen Quan said: "It seems that before us, someone from the brother department has already sent people to search for the code book and cipher machine on the Japanese crashed plane!"
According to the information currently available, the bandits in Feihuling are several times more powerful than those in Heiyun Village.
However, Shen Quan did not intend to destroy them.
Now that he knows the origin of this group of bandits, Shen Quan wants to incorporate them into his team.
Especially Zhou Weiguo, who is a talented military man.
Xinyi Tuan currently lacks nothing but talents!
After leaning a little, Shen Quan called the communications soldier and said: "Call back to the headquarters immediately. The new regiment has found the crash site of the Japanese plane and is waiting to go and inspect it!"
"yes!"
The communications soldier immediately went down to send a telegram to the headquarters.
Now that he knew that the Japanese plane crashed at Feihu Ridge, Shen Quan thought about leading his troops to Feihu Ridge to meet Zhou Weiguo.
