"Are you Li Yunlong?"
Kong Jie approached Li Yunlong, and their faces were only one punch away.
Someone once said that if two people are at this distance, they will either kiss or fight.
But Kong Jie didn't want to kiss Li Yunlong, nor did he want to fight. He wanted to see what happened.
Now he not only knows how to fight with large corps, but he is also full of military theories.
Is this still the same Li Yunlong who can’t read a basket of Chinese characters? He doesn’t know the character of a basket when his pole falls over?
Not only Kong Jie, but also Ding Wei and Cheng Shifa also stared at Li Yunlong with strange expressions.
The four of them old comrades reminisced about the past. Zhao Gang and the battalion commanders all smiled and walked away knowingly.
Not to mention the old comrades they rarely meet, even Zhao Gang, who they get along with day and night, and the battalion commanders they meet often feel that their regimental commander has changed a lot recently.
Li Yunlong glared: "Labour and management are not Li Yunlong, is it possible that you, Kong Erluo, are Li Yunlong?"
Kong Jie said: "Then tell me, what happened to our brothers in the Red Army before?"
Li Yunlong said: "When you Kong Jie joined the army, our old Li was already a veteran. Your Kong Jie's life was saved by labor and capital on the battlefield. When Ding Wei joined the army, our old Li was already the squad leader. Old Cheng When I joined the army, it was still me, Old Li, who kept asking me to shoot, and in terms of qualifications, we, Old Li, were the oldest. Why, you still feel aggrieved by my command?"
"Yes, this is Li Yunlong."
Kong Jie sat back on the stool, looked at Ding Wei and Cheng Shifa and said.
"Old Li, how do you understand such a thing?" Cheng Shifa asked.
Li Yunlong glanced at his three old comrades: "Of course I learned it, otherwise it could grow out of thin air in my brain?"
"Old Li, what did you learn?" Ding Wei also asked.
Li Yunlong replied: "The Theory of Large Corps and Deep Operations" and "Rapid Assault of Armored Groups", as well as "Beach Landing and Airborne Operations".
"Old Li, where did you come from?" Cheng Shifa asked.
"Keep it secret."
Kong Jie said in an excited tone: "Lao Li, you can't eat alone. Why don't you bring all the books for us to read?"
"No problem, you all want to learn."
Li Yunlong said: "I will give you a few printed copies, but I have to wait until this battle is over."
"Then it's settled."
Kong Jie said immediately.
Ding Wei and Cheng Shifa also looked forward to it.
Seeing Li Yunlong studying so hard, the three of them also wanted to catch up with Li Yunlong.
"Report to the regimental commander, the brigade tank battalion has arrived!"
"At the drying field."
At this moment, there was a roar of motor outside the door, and Huang Erhu hurried in to report.
Because he wanted to play with infantry-tank coordination, Li Yunlong applied to the brigade commander to transfer the tank battalion, and the brigade commander approved it without hesitation.
At present, the brigade's tank battalion has a total of 12 tanks, 5 Type 95 light tanks, 7 Type 97 medium tanks, and the Japanese tank brigade also has almost 12 tanks.
"Let's go take a look." Li Yunlong's expression changed and he called to Ding Wei and Kong Jie.
"Go for a walk."
Everyone walked towards the grain drying field.
The headquarters of the New Regiment is still a little far away from the Yangcun Grain Farm, but today's meeting room is very close to the Grain Farm, just a few steps away.
Four of the tanks have already arrived at the grain drying field, and subsequent tanks are coming in one after another.
The grain drying field has been expanded several times, and it is not difficult at all to park 12 tanks.
As tanks continued to be driven into the grain drying field, this situation attracted many people and village soldiers to come and watch.
A medium-sized, young-looking Eighth Route Army soldier with a confident and resolute look emerged from a Type 97 tank at the head.
He jumped off the tank, walked straight to Li Yunlong, and gave a military salute: "Report to Commander Li, Chen Wenhui, commander of the tank battalion directly under the 386th Brigade, reports to you."
Li Yunlong often went to the brigade headquarters to deliver equipment, and Chen Wenhui was originally the deputy company commander of the brigade headquarters security company, so he was very familiar with Li Yunlong.
"Hello." Li Yunlong returned the military salute, "How much ammunition did you bring?"
Chen Wenhui replied: "Each tank carries 120 rounds of artillery shells, including 80 rounds of grenades, 40 rounds of armor-piercing projectiles, and 3,500 rounds of heavy machine gun bullets."
Li Yunlong said: "120 rounds of artillery shells and 3,500 rounds of ammunition are barely enough, but don't be afraid to save bullets and artillery shells. Let me open the fire. I will arrange logistics troops to replenish fuel and ammunition for you at any time."
The last time they robbed the Japanese troops, a lot of 37mm and 47mm artillery shells were seized, and more than 60 tons of diesel were seized.
There is absolutely no pressure on the tank battalion's logistical supplies.
"Yes!" Chen Wenhui looked happy, "I promise to open up and fight!"
Fighting with such a commander is enjoyable. In the past, fighting was basically done by searching. The number of bullets each soldier fired in each battle was planned in advance.
Now I can open it up and hit it, which is very comfortable.
"Honestly." Chen Wenhui said excitedly, "When I was a tank platoon leader in the Chinese army, I never fought such a wealthy battle."
"Where is this?" Li Yunlong said in an awesome voice, "There will be times when we will be richer in the future."
Chen Wenhui looked expectant.
Li Yunlong stepped forward and patted the tank. When he saw the 7.7mm machine gun barrel protruding from the tank, his expression suddenly changed.
The armor protection and firepower of this little devil tank are still not good enough.
Li Yunlong has no solution for the armor protection and tank gun for the time being, but the machine gun on this Japanese tank can.
Li Yunlong turned around and asked: "Battle Commander Chen, do you think you can replace the 7.7mm machine gun on this tank with a 12.7mm large-caliber machine gun?"
The 12.7mm large-caliber heavy machine gun he was talking about was the M2 Browning heavy machine gun.
Although this heavy machine gun was not included in the deposit of 200 tons of weapons and ammunition this time, some of the M2 Browning heavy machine guns earned at the end of last year were handed over.
Ding Wei and Kong Jie were given five more each. Now the new regiment still has more than 30, mainly used for air defense together with machine guns.
The caliber is the same as the Barrett, and the power is not much different. It can be regarded as the heavy machine gun version of the Barrett.
Kong Jie said: "This thing is extremely powerful. The enemy will basically break into two pieces after one shot. If it can be installed in a tank, it will be much more powerful than the enemy's 7.7mm heavy machine gun."
"And this thing has good firepower sustainability, and it uses a bullet belt to feed ammunition." Ding Wei also said: "It has much stronger firepower than the Japanese who use bullet plates to feed ammunition."
Li Yunlong not only gave Ding Wei and Kong Jie five 12.7mm heavy machine guns, but also gave each of them six Maxim heavy machine guns.
This is also the reason why the proportion of light machine guns and heavy machine guns in the New Second Regiment and the Independent Regiment is so small.
Cheng Shifa knew which machine gun they were talking about, but when he heard this, Cheng Shifa felt sour again. If he had known this, he would have had a good relationship with Lao Li before.
Then he can also get a large-caliber heavy machine gun as a gift from Lao Li.
"If you just change the machine gun, it should be okay." Chen Wenhui nodded.
"We also need to install one here." Li Yunlong pointed to the turret above the tank. "On the one hand, it is used for air defense, and on the other hand, it is used to increase firepower."
This inspiration comes from
"This is a good idea." Kong Jie's eyes lit up slightly and he said, "We can attack both the air defense and the infantry."
"It's a good idea." Ding Wei climbed onto the tank and looked around: "It's all made of steel plates. How the hell is he going to fix the heavy machine gun?"
"We definitely can't."
With a chuckle, Li Yunlong said: "But the comrades from the arsenal can definitely do it. I happen to be familiar with Director Cheng of the arsenal, so I can ask him for help."
"That's right." Li Yunlong said to Kong Jie and Ding Wei again: "Send the cavalry companies of your two regiments to Yangcun, and my cavalry battalion and brigade cavalry regiment will be used together."
"No problem." Ding Wei and Kong Jie said in unison.
The cavalry regiment of the brigade has more than 600 cavalry, the cavalry battalion of the new first regiment has more than 600 cavalry, and the cavalry companies of the new second regiment and the independent regiment each have 100 cavalry, totaling more than 1,400 cavalry.
The strength exceeds 1 cavalry brigade. The last time the cavalry fought in Niangzi Association, they defeated a Japanese cavalry regiment.
After the last battle, the combat effectiveness of the cavalry units must have increased a lot.
After Ding Wei, Cheng Shifa and Kong Jie left Yangcun, Li Yunlong called Director Cheng of the arsenal for help.
After listening to Li Yunlong's appeal, Director Cheng immediately rushed to Yangcun with several engineers and more than a dozen technical backbones in this field.
Only the head of the headquarters has this treatment.
…
Taiyuan.
Japanese Army Headquarters.
Yoshio Shinozuka stared at the military map. The red arrow indicating the Japanese offensive posture indicated the route of the Japanese sweeper troops' upcoming attack.
More than thirty arrows on all sides surrounded the Eighth Route Army base area.
Surrounded by iron walls, attack separately.
"Report, secret message from the 18th Brigade!"
A communications soldier walked in and saluted Yoshio Shinozuka and Hideyoshi Kusuyama.
"give it to me."
Kusuyama Hideyoshi took the telegram from the signal soldier and read it.
The original combat staff, communications staff, and intelligence staff were all put on leave. The current combat staff, communications staff, and intelligence staff were all transferred from various divisions.
Yoshio Shinozuka became extremely suspicious and no longer trusted his former close advisors.
After reading the telegram, Kusuyama Hideyoshi turned around and paused:
"Commander, the 18th Brigade sent a telegram. The 18th Brigade's Imperial Army and the 8th Mixed Brigade of the Imperial Alliance Army have completed the change of equipment."
"Currently, the 2nd Guards Division, 37th Division, 14th Brigade, and 18th Brigade have all completed the change of equipment."
"Yoshi!"
Yoshio Shinozuka perked up, his voice was loud, but his tone was sinister:
"Order, at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning, all ministries will launch a raid on the Eighth Route Army bandit areas at the same time."
"After entering the Eighth Route Bandit Area, various ministries burned, killed, and robbed them all, completely turning the southeastern Shanxi Bandit Area into a no-man's land."
"This sweep only needs to succeed, no failure is allowed!"
The Three-Kuang Policy, also known as the Three-Kuang Operation, began in the autumn of 1939. The Japanese military operations targeted the anti-Japanese base areas of the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army, with the main goals of killing local residents and thoroughly looting, burning and destroying food, fodder, houses and other materials. , and gradually make this combat method systematic, large-scale, and long-term.
"Hi!" Kusuyama Hideyoshi lowered his head, then picked up a pen and paper and began to draft telegrams to the various mopping up troops.
