Soon Zhang Dabiao, Sun Desheng and the others took all the horses out. By the time the puppet soldiers reacted and wanted to find the horses, the stables were already empty.
Lin Zhong and Shunliu's sharpshooter company on the front gate were useless against the heavy firepower of the puppet army. As soon as one of them came up, another one was taken away.
Everyone in the fourth battalion was dumbfounded. They had always only obeyed Shunliu when it came to marksmanship. Now it seemed that the regiment leader Lin Zhong's marksmanship was much better than Shunliu. Whether it was speed, accuracy or tactics, Lin Zhong was clearly superior. .
On the tower, the commander of the puppet army hid with his head in his hands, and immediately shouted: "Quickly, report to the colonel, the main ace of the Eighth Route Army is making a sneak attack, asking for support!!"
Seeing that it was almost done, Lin Zhong waved his hand: "Let's go, strategic shift!"
The next morning, the sound of horses was everywhere in Xinyi Tuan. Sun Desheng hugged the horse's legs and kissed them.
Lin Zhong was speechless, "Captain Sun, don't be so worthless..."
Sun Desheng cried and said: "Commander, I have always liked riding horses since I was a child, and I have always dreamed of having a cavalry of my own!"
Lin Zhong: "Captain Sun, from now on, all these horses will be handed over to you. There are still fifty bags of white flour in the warehouse. Tomorrow you will use these white flour to recruit troops and help me form a cavalry battalion in the shortest possible time!"
Sun Desheng stayed up all night but was not sleepy at all. He stood at attention with all his energy and said, "Yes!"
Before noon, Lin Zhong called Wang Chengzhu over.
"Captain, you are looking for me."
"You will be the battalion commander when a battalion becomes vacant in the Second Battalion." Lin Zhong said sullenly while burning sweet potatoes.
Zhuzi was stunned, "Ah? Regiment, regiment leader, I will be the second battalion commander?"
"Captain, I wasn't sure about Cangyun Ridge last time. If Commander Li were here, I might have been shot." The more he talked about Zhu Zhu, the more aggrieved he became.
Lin Zhong patted Zhu Zhu on the shoulder, "I believe you. From now on, I will set up a separate artillery battalion for you. As long as the artillery fire is accurate, the sweet potatoes will be burned, and it will be enough!"
Zhuzi was bursting with runny noses and tears, and Lin Zhong was forced to kneel on the ground, "Captain, what a blessing!"
"As long as Zhuzi lives from now on, the artillery battalion will always follow the regiment leader!"
Lin Zhong's expression changed and he cursed: "Fart, you are not fighting for me. As long as you can fight the battle well, you can repay me with accurate artillery fire!"
Zhu Zhu nodded heavily, and instantly felt that Lin Zhong's image was extremely tall.
...
At the 385th Regiment headquarters, Chu Yunfei once again showed an incredible expression.
"Wanjia Town was attacked by a sneak attack? Lost all the horses?"
Fang Ligong replied: "Regiment leader, according to the latest telegram, the Eighth Route Army attacked Wanjia Town alone and ate all the horses in Wanjia Town."
"The battle lasted less than half an hour in total."
Chu Yunfei took off the white gloves on his hands and stood up to carefully observe the map sand table. The more he looked at it, the more unbelievable it became.
"There are thousands of puppet troops stationed in Wanjia Town and there are solid fortifications. Even if my 358th Regiment wants to capture Wanjia Town, it will take at least a day."
"Which Eighth Route Army unit is this?"
Fang Ligong replied: "The regiment, according to the spies' report, it is very likely that it is the same Eighth Route Army that fought in the last Cangyunling battle."
Chu Yunfei was startled, "Li Yunlong's new group?"
Fang Ligong said: "No, the leader of the new regiment is now Lin Zhong."
"Lin Zhong...Lin Zhong again." Chu Yunfei squinted his eyes in thought, and became even more interested in Lin Zhong.
...
In the days that followed, Lin Zhong worked vigorously to reorganize the regiment headquarters.
Although Li Yunlong had done a good job in leading the new regiment, in the eyes of Lin Zhong, a talented student from the National Defense University, it was still a lot of trouble.
Now the main task of the new regiment is to recruit soldiers!
Lin Zhong spent the next month recruiting troops, and many strong men from nearby villages joined the new regiment under the temptation of Lin Zhong's impassioned speeches and white noodles.
One month, just one month, a new regiment of cavalry battalion was formed! The cavalry battalion of 300 men is the only one in the entire 368th Brigade.
Lin Zhong reorganized the establishment of the new regiment in the next month. The first battalion was reorganized into an assault battalion with a total of 500 people. Lin Zhong planned to equip the entire regiment with a submachine gun, and each person would be equipped with a first-level head and a first-level rifle. Level A, which serves as the charge battalion of the entire regiment in combat. It can resist and fight, but it is similar to... a warrior who resists the road.
The Second Battalion and the Fourth Battalion were merged and reorganized into the Artillery Battalion. The Second Battalion was strengthened with a total of 200 people. A total of two battalion commanders, Zhu Zhu and Shunliu, commanded the Artillery Company and the Sharpshooter Company respectively, similar to... the shooters on the Development Road,
The third battalion is Sun Desheng's cavalry battalion. It currently has a total of 300 people. It will eventually be adapted into a special operations battalion. In the later stage, some soldiers with special combat skills will be trained to fight in special situations, such as rock climbing, etc., similar to... ..The jungler of the jungle lane.
The battalion commander of the fourth battalion is now vacant, and is temporarily replaced by Lin Zhong. The fourth battalion has been transformed into a combat readiness battalion with about 200 people. It is responsible for the combat readiness supply, reconnaissance, security and food of the entire regiment, similar to... auxiliary!
The fifth battalion has not been built yet. Lin Zhong can easily create a chemical force with his methods, but he does not want to use such a cruel method to introduce such a force yet.
The whole regiment now has a total of 1,200 people. In less than a month, Lin Zhong built the new regiment into the situation it was in when Cangyun Ridge.
But the problem they are facing now is that the combat effectiveness of the soldiers is really low. Lin Zhong got them a gun each, although most of them still have Sanba Dagai and Hanyang guns in their hands.
But the marksmanship shouldn't be too bad, right? During the morning training, Lin Zhong saw a dozen soldiers practicing target shooting on the playground, with a distance of ten meters. Did he shoot wrong?
Lin Zhong called Shunliu over, his expression a little cold.
"Shunliu, I'll give you three days to teach all the soldiers in the battalion three points and one line!"
"I don't want to see any more soldiers failing to hit a target ten meters away."
Shunliu: "Yes! It's just..."
"Don't hesitate, you have something to say." Lin Zhong said.
"Captain, there is another reason why the soldiers are not accurate, that is...it's too cold."
"The temperature has dropped in the past few days. The soldiers' hands were frozen in the morning and they couldn't hold their guns at all." Shunliu said.
Lin Zhong was stunned, but ignored the problem. He raised his head and glanced at Shunliu, who was also wearing a single piece of clothing. His hands were a little red.
The weather in the north is cooling down too fast. It has dropped nearly ten degrees in just a few days.
"You don't have cotton-padded clothes either?" Lin Zhong said.
Shun Liu: "Captain, all the cotton-padded clothes in our regiment have been allocated to the wounded. The suit you are wearing is also a set that the regiment spent several days collecting cotton."
Lin Zhong touched the cotton coat on his body and felt a little uncomfortable. He was born in a prosperous age and would never be able to understand this era of not having enough food and clothing.
Then the table shook violently, "Shun Liu!"
"Go and tell the brothers that I, Lin Zhong, will definitely bring you some winter cotton-padded clothes in three days at most!"
