Bright Sword: Develop alone, bring back an artillery regiment

Chapter 326 On the eve of the Hundred Regiments War, the mobilization meeting of the whole division moved to Southeast Shanxi
"Old Zhao, you are finally back. What did you say when you went to the brigade headquarters meeting this time? Did the brigade commander say why the whole army is assembled this time?"

In the new regiment headquarters, first Li Yunlong's voice came in, and then he stepped into the regiment headquarters.

Zhang Dabiao, Shen Quan, Wang Huaibao and Wang Chengzhu followed closely behind and raised their hands to salute Zhao Gang: "Political commissar!"

"political commissar!"

Zhao Gang raised his hand and bowed back, then said to Li Yunlong: "The brigade commander didn't say anything, he just asked us to go to the division headquarters for a meeting at six o'clock in the afternoon."

"By the way, the brigade commander also said, let's bring Wang Chengzhu and Battalion Commander Wang with us."

Hearing this, Li Yunlong was impatient. There was no other way. Wang Chengzhu was a treasure. The development of Xinyituan to today's scale, and Li Yunlong's ability to avoid the punishment of being the factory director of the clothing factory was almost all thanks to Wang Chengzhu.

Not only the new regiment, but also the independent regiment, and even the 772 and 771 regiments followed Wang Chengzhu to reap a lot of benefits.

And Kong Jie's independent group was able to be established, almost all thanks to Wang Chengzhu.

"The teacher asked us to bring the pillars. What is he doing? Is he planning to poach the wall?"

Zhao Gang has already figured out the temper of this partner, he will not be spoiled by the other party, and immediately turned back: "Old Li, what are you and me in a hurry, if you have the ability to play tricks in front of the brigade commander and division commander."

Li Yunlong smirked and said: "Hey, old Zhao, aren't we in a hurry? You know the role of pillars. If our new regiment doesn't have pillars, our strength will at least drop by half."

Zhao Gang: "It shouldn't be that the division commander wants to poach the wall, according to the brigade commander, all regiment-level cadres of our 129th Division need to participate in this meeting.

Of course, with Battalion Commander Wang's ability and achievements in battle, it is really a shame to let him be a battalion commander. If the division commander really wants to promote him, it will be a good thing for my entire Eighth Route Army. "

Li Yunlong secretly said that something was wrong. All cadres above the regiment level of the 129th division were required to participate in this meeting, and Wang Chengzhu was just a battalion commander. Does that mean that the division commander and even the boss wanted to use this opportunity to promote Wang Chengzhu.

This is not possible, at least not now, even if the teacher and the boss want to promote Wang Chengzhu, they have to wait for him to create some benefits for my new group.

Withdrawing his thoughts, Li Yunlong said again: "This meeting, all regiment-level cadres of our 129th Division will participate, it seems that there will be a big move.

Just don't know where the target is. "

Zhao Gang: "Won't you know when the time comes?"

Li Yunlong nodded: "That's right."

Zhao Gang: "It just so happens that Battalion Commander Zhang and the others have all arrived at the regiment headquarters. You all report to me the latest developments. I will write a summary report and submit it to the brigade headquarters later."

"Yes!"

Zhang Dabiao and others nodded, and then took out a development report that had been written long ago from their pockets.

Zhao Gang took it over and looked at it one by one. When he saw that the 1st Battalion had grown more than 2200 people, although his expression was a little surprised, it was still within his expectations. After all, the 1st Battalion had developed very well before, and its strength had exceeded 1200 people were recruited.

During this period of time, we have won another opportunity to flourish, and it is reasonable to have more than 2200 people.

But when he saw the development report of the independent battalion, Zhao Gang immediately lost his composure.

He was stunned, his mouth was so wide that he could almost stuff an ostrich egg inside.

"More than 4000 people?"

You must know that since the end of the Wangjia Village defense battle, the strength of the independent battalion has been less than 1500 people. In just 20 days, not only has it recovered, but its strength has also increased by more than 1000 people.

A battalion has more troops than most regiment-level combat units.

And there are cavalry, artillery and other arms.

And this is not what surprised Zhao Gang the most. What really surprised him was that in addition to the regular army, the independent battalion had also developed seven to eight thousand militiamen.

Moreover, the penetration rate of weapons and equipment has exceeded [-]%.

Does this mean that if Wang Chengzhu is willing, his independent battalion can be expanded to a scale of ten thousand people.

"Wang... Battalion Commander Wang, has your independent battalion really developed seven or eight thousand militiamen?"

Wang Chengzhu paused for a moment: "Ah... the real number should be even more, since many folks join in every day, it is impossible to determine the exact number of militiamen.

This data is 7 days ago. "

"7 days ago..."

It's been another 7 days, how many people have grown in the militia of the independent battalion?

Zhao Gang didn't dare to continue thinking about it, he staggered and almost lost his footing.

Li Yunlong next to him showed a disdainful expression: "Old Zhao, look at you who have never seen the world, don't be ashamed, isn't the independent battalion just developed some more troops, as for it?"

Hearing these words, Zhang Dabiao, Shen Quan and Wang Huaibao all despised Li Yunlong in their hearts for a while.

I'm ashamed to say that the political commissar, your performance when you learned about the development of the independent battalion before, may not be much better.

Zhao Gang didn't have the mind to argue with Li Yunlong, but walked to the desk and sat down directly, and then began to integrate the development information of each battalion and write a summary report.

……

Six pm.

The 129th Division Division.

The conference room of the division headquarters was full of people, there were hundreds of people, and all of them had serious faces.

In addition to the division commander and chief of staff, the boss and the deputy chief of staff of the headquarters are also on the list.

The rest are the brigade commanders and regimental commanders of the brigades and regiments, the chief of staff of the political commissar and so on.

However, Wang Chengzhu didn't know many people. He only knew the boss, the deputy chief of staff of the headquarters, the division commander, the brigade commander, and the heads of several main regiments.

Cheng Xiazi, head of the 772 Regiment, Xu Shengji, head of the 771 Regiment, Ding Wei, head of the Independent Regiment, and Kong Jie, head of the New Second Regiment.

Li Yunlong, head of the new regiment, was naturally also present.

Because there were too many people participating in the meeting, the original meeting room of the 129th Division could not sit down at all, so the auditorium was temporarily changed to a meeting room.

On the rostrum ahead, the boss glanced around, whoever spoke first said: "Everyone is here, now I announce the start of the meeting."

After a pause, the boss continued: "I believe you must be very curious, why did I call everyone here this time?"

"Maybe some of you are guessing whether a big war is about to break out."

"What I want to tell you is that yes, there is indeed a war that is about to break out, but the outbreak is not in the northwest of Shanxi."

"Isn't the place where the outbreak occurred in Northwest Shanxi?"

"Where is that?"

……

There was a lot of discussion in the audience.

"quiet!"

After a pause, the boss went on to say: "Since the winter of 1939, the Japanese army has implemented the "cage policy" of "using railways as pillars, roads as chains, and blockhouses as locks."

Among them, the Zhengtai Railway is one of the important pillars for the Japanese army to implement this policy. The Japanese army has built strong strongholds in large and small towns, stations, bridges, and tunnels along the railway line, each with tens to hundreds of troops. Armored train patrolling.There is a line of peripheral strongholds at the key points of 10 to 15 kilometers on both sides of the railway.

The Japanese army called the Zhengtai Railway an "inaccessible" area, and used it to isolate the Eighth Route Army headquarters from the Taihang Anti-Japanese Base Area and the Jinchaji Border Area, and relied on it to attack the Anti-Japanese Base Area. "

"At present, the Japanese 1st Army has assembled a large number of troops, using the Zhengtai Railway and various highways as network lines, to divide our Taihang Anti-Japanese Base Area into several small pieces, and launched a fierce attack.

It is a vain attempt to completely wipe out our Taihang base area and its Jinchaji border area base area. "

"And the purpose of my summoning you this time is to reinforce the Taihang base area and completely crush the conspiracy of the Japanese invaders!"
