Chapter 322 First Class Battle Hero!
"Yes, two great achievements."

The boss said with emotion, Li Yunlong has made too many meritorious deeds recently, and he doesn't know how to reward him.

"According to Li Yunlong's credit, it's not too much to give to a brigade commander, let alone a detachment commander."

"The key is that Li Yunlong himself doesn't want to be promoted to brigade commander. He also said that if he is promoted to brigade commander, the aid channel will be cut off. So now Li Yunlong is willing to be the brigade commander."

The Eighth Route Army has clear rewards and punishments. The headquarters doesn't know how to reward Li Yunlong, and the boss is also a bit of a headache.

The chief of staff suggested: "How about finding a base for Li Yunlong and letting him lead the troops out to develop himself? How many troops he can bring out depends on his own ability."

"I think Northwest Shanxi is very suitable. Since the main force of the 120th Division arrived in Jizhong, there are only a few guerrillas in Northwest Shanxi."

"Although the land in Northwest Shanxi is a bit poor, there are nearly 200 million people in Northwest Shanxi, and there is still a bright future for development."

"Moreover, the main force of the 120th Division has stayed there for several years, and the local mass base is also very good, so it is not difficult to carry out the work."

"With the abilities of Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang, coupled with his aid channel, there is absolutely no problem in revitalizing such a base in Northwest Shanxi."

"In less than a year, this kid Li Yunlong will definitely be able to pull out a team of tens of thousands of people, and it will be the trump card team."

The chief of staff has always liked Li Yunlong, and he has great trust in Li Yunlong. His last sentence was directly affirmative.

An ace team of tens of thousands of people...

There was a gleam in the boss's eyes, and he couldn't help but feel his heart pounding.

Now the fighting power of the new regiment of thousands of people is already so strong, and the fighting power of the ace team of tens of thousands of people is probably not inferior to that of the standing divisions of the Japanese army.

No, it must be stronger than the combat effectiveness of the permanent divisions of the Japanese army.

Because it really reached that scale, Li Yunlong's troops must be uniformly equipped with equipment from foreign military manufacturers.

In terms of equipment, it will definitely crush the permanent divisions of the Japanese army. In terms of fighting will, the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army are no worse than the soldiers of the permanent divisions of the Japanese army, and the difference in firepower between individual soldiers is enough to make up for it.

If such a force is really drawn up, the situation in Shanxi will definitely be very different, and it will even affect the situation of the Anti-Japanese War in the whole country.

"However..." The boss said in a worried tone, "This kid dares to do anything. Let him let go of the reins, and I'm afraid that this kid will make a big mess."

Li Yunlong likes to make things happen, so give him too much autonomy. One day this kid will slap his head and lead his troops to attack Taiyuan, and then the battle will affect the whole body.

After all, the overall strength of the Eighth Route Army and the Japanese army is still too far apart, and it may suffer a big loss.

"Boss, you are worrying too much."

The teacher adjusted his glasses and said with a smile: "In the past, there was no one around Li Yunlong who could take care of him. This kid thinks about it as soon as he thinks about it. Now that Zhao Gang is by his side, Li Yunlong makes a few small mistakes at most. Li Yunlong's performance in the past year It’s not bad, it doesn’t hurt to make small mistakes occasionally, and his thinking has improved a lot. For the development of our Eighth Route Army, he voluntarily refused to be promoted to brigade commander. Also, now his egotistical thinking is gone, whether it’s captured or doing business. The weapons and ammunition earned will be handed over to the superior immediately."

"I believe that with Zhao Gang watching him by his side, this kid will make some small mistakes at most, and he won't be able to make big mistakes."

"I admit it." The boss nodded: "This year, Li Yunlong has made great progress."

"Since you both think so, let's settle this matter together."

"However, even if the Xinyi Regiment is going to Northwest Shanxi, it will have to wait until after the Japanese raid. After all, Li Yunlong's Xinyi Regiment is the trump card of our Eighth Route Army."

With Li Yunlong's new regiment, the boss is sure to fight the next anti-sweeping operation.

Li Yunlong's new regiment is very powerful, and the boss is very easy to use.

As long as the Japanese army's anti-mopping up is repelled, according to the previous rules, it will be difficult for the Japanese army to organize a large-scale mopping up within two or three months.

"Speaking of the next raid."

The chief of staff suddenly asked: "Boss, do you have any ideas?"

"There is an idea."

"It's just immature."

The boss said: "Now our artillery firepower is no worse than that of the Japanese army. The shells are quite sufficient, and the ammunition is relatively sufficient. The strategy and tactics can be changed."

"Boss, you mean..."

"Our 129th Division will have a direct battle with a Japanese division?"

The teacher reacted quickly and looked at the boss.

"That's right!" The boss nodded, his eyes calm.

The boss has such a fighting style. He is not afraid of fighting hard and evil battles.

In this regard, Li Yunlong is very similar to the boss.

The Hundred Regiments War was launched by the boss against all opinions and at the expense of exposing the Eighth Route Army's hole cards.

Now the 129th division has a relatively solid family background, and it is completely possible to fight head-on with the little devil's 1st division.

The Chief of Staff also said:

"In the game, whoever reveals his cards first will be at a disadvantage."

"At present, the Japanese army may not know our artillery firepower."

"Although doing this will expose the cards in advance, but I think it's worth it. Didn't YA ask how many more battles like the White Regiment War can be launched?"

"Because the other military regions haven't recovered their vitality, we can't launch the Hundred Regiments Campaign for the time being, but... we can launch a few more battles like Dagouwan."

The boss nodded and said: "The chief of staff and I have thought about going together, and Li Yunlong can also let Li Yunlong act as an acting commander. For the battle commanded by him, the weapons and ammunition can be reimbursed."

Although the Eighth Route Army now has more than 200 cannons above 70 mm, except for the Xinyi Regiment, the artillery shells of other artillery units cannot be replenished.

When the shells are finished, they are finished, and there is no place to add them. This situation will inevitably make the artillerymen reluctant to fire.

But with Li Yunlong in command, this problem is not a problem.

Moreover, Li Yunlong's channel not only reimburses ammunition, but also reimburses damaged weapons.

The weapons and ammunition consumed by tens of thousands of soldiers were quickly replenished.

It's very comfortable.

"That's commanding tens of thousands of people to fight."

The division commander's tone was worried: "Can Li Yunlong be able to take on this leading role, and he commands so many troops with one regiment commander, so the influence is not good, right?"

"I don't see any problem." The boss said, "With a few of us holding the fire for him, he can't afford to be a leader."

"Also, this time Li Yunlong made two great achievements, which can raise his treatment to the brigade level."

The chief of staff said: "I don't think it's a problem to command tens of thousands of people with brigade-level treatment, and you can also cultivate his ability to command tens of thousands of people in advance."

"Okay." The teacher nodded and said, "I have no objection, but before that, let Li Yunlong communicate with the other party to see if the other party is willing to do this. After all, the consumption of this weapon and ammunition is not a small sum."

Howitzers, mountain guns and artillery shells, as well as communication equipment, were quickly sent to the headquarters.

After the brigade commander applied, he also left behind 4 howitzers and 8 mountain cannons.

Now the brigade commander's artillery regiment has also become a strengthened artillery regiment. There are 13 howitzers and 23 mountain cannons handed over to the headquarters, which are exactly 1 artillery regiment.

Following the establishment of an artillery school by the 129th Division, several communication crash courses were added to the camp school, and soldiers with higher education were selected from each department to learn to send and receive telegrams.

And asked the YA Anti-Japanese University to send more telegraphers and codebreakers, and the Eighth Route Army soon realized that each regiment was equipped with a radio station.

The organization wanted to build an artillery school in YA, so the head of the headquarters sent the eliminated batch of Shanshan Artillery Regiment to YA to send artillery talents to the military regions.

A mountain artillery regiment directly under the artillery brigade of the headquarters was sent to YA. It happened that the artillery regiment handed over by Li Yunlong was on top of the artillery regiment, and the number of artillery directly under the artillery brigade of the headquarters did not decrease but increased.

Moreover, the artillery brigade directly under the headquarters has all become German 105 howitzers and American 75 mountain guns, with sufficient shells and combat effectiveness.

But these are later stories.

……

"Old Li, congratulations."

"The headquarters has raised your treatment to the level of brigade commander."

In Yangcun, the inner room of Xinyi Regiment Headquarters, Zhao Gang was really happy after reading the documents issued by the headquarters in his hand.

The red seal on the document is very new, indicating that the steel stamp has only been stamped not long ago.

The Eighth Route Army was different from the old warlords represented by the National Army. There was no such thing as military pay, but in November 1937, the Eighth Route Army headquarters clearly stipulated the allowance standards for personnel at all levels.

Regiment-level cadres receive a monthly allowance of 4 yuan, and brigade-level cadres receive a monthly allowance of 4.5 yuan.

That is to say, although Li Yunlong is still the team leader, his monthly allowance has increased by 0.5 yuan.

"Haha...we are happy together."

The corner of Li Yunlong's mouth curled up, now our old Li is already receiving brigade-level treatment.

In the future, whether it is the brigade commander, the division commander or the head of the headquarters, we cannot casually dismiss our old Li.

There will be no more things like going to the brigade headquarters to carry the cauldron, feed the horses at the division headquarters, and go to the headquarters to lead the horses for the boss as a single order in the past.

Although the 0.5 yuan increase in allowance is nothing, it can make Li Yunlong's buttocks sit more firmly in the position of head of the new regiment.

Zhao Gang picked up the second document issued by the headquarters:
"This is a commendation from the headquarters to the Sword Squadron. The Sword Squadron will record collective special merit once and award Comrade Lu Yingjun the title of first-class combat hero."

"A first-class combat hero?" Li Yunlong looked surprised.

It was within Li Yunlong's expectation that the Sword Squadron would record collective special merit once, but he really didn't expect Lu Yingjun to win the first-level combat hero.

First-class merit is different from first-class combat heroes, the latter is much harder to obtain than the former.

"It should be because when reporting, the artillery, shells and radio stations earned from this business were also counted on Lu Yingjun and the Sword Squadron."

Li Yunlong reacted quickly.

"It should be." Zhao Gang nodded. The battle was fought by the Sword Squadron, and it was commanded by Lu Yingjun. It is reasonable to count the profit from the business as the Sword Squadron.

These cannons and shells can kill hundreds of enemies on the battlefield, and these 105 radio stations can solve the communication problems of more than 100 infantry regiments of the Eighth Route Army.

These 105 radio stations, artillery and shells alone are two great achievements, not to mention the complete annihilation of Japanese pilots, the capture of 2 tanks, the destruction of 9 Japanese aircraft, and the killing of more than 11 Japanese and puppet troops. If one is singled out, it is a great achievement.

"Deserved."

Zhao Gang's expression was extremely satisfied, and he continued: "In order to ensure that the Sword Squadron is not exposed, the headquarters will not reward it with the whole army."

"So much the better."

Li Yunlong naturally has no objection, the Sword Squadron is a trump card in his hand, and it is best to let the devils not understand the reality of the Sword Squadron.

After the limelight has passed, let the Sword Squadron give the devil a big ticket.
