I am helping

Chapter 417 Caliber is justice, range is truth!
Lu Yingjun finished hitting the target in the high-power walkie-talkie, and then put down the walkie-talkie.

After the firing stopped, Zhang Dabiao used a low-power walkie-talkie to order to continue pressing up.

Soon, a company of soldiers rushed into the stronghold with submachine guns. There was no sound of gunfire, indicating that the devils and puppet troops were all killed.

Li Yunlong, Zhao Gang, and all the commanders couldn't help smiling.

The power of killing a devil stronghold with one shot is no joke. When the devils sweep up and attack in the future, as long as they are used properly, the damage that a heavy artillery battalion can bring to the devils and puppet troops will be immeasurable.

Although no armor-piercing and high-explosive shells have been used to hit the city wall, according to Li Yunlong's estimation, the city wall like the county town is better than paper paste in front of this 150mm heavy artillery.

Even a city wall like the one in Taiyuan can open a gap with a few shots.

If there was this 150mm heavy artillery when we fought Taiyuan last time, it could blast dozens of gaps in a city wall in a day.

With this 150mm heavy artillery, there is no city in Shanxi that cannot be attacked by a new regiment.

Everyone's eyes were burning, and they thought that it would be great if the devils started mopping up and attacking the new regiment now, so that the little devils could experience the firepower of the 150mm heavy artillery.

Seeing the powerful destructive power created by this heavy artillery, Li Yunlong let out a long sigh of relief, feeling refreshed all over.

Now, the phobia of lack of firepower in the heart of Chief Li's heart is finally mostly cured, but it has not been cured yet.

In his view, if he wants to kill more enemies in a war and greatly reduce his own casualties, he needs more firepower on the premise of correct strategy and tactics.

The more firepower the better.

Caliber is justice, range is truth!
It is best to use heavy artillery shells to wash the ground for bombardment, aerial bomb carpet bombing for air support, and rain of bullets and shells for air defense, so that the enemy's planes have nowhere to hide.

In the future, we must use this 150mm heavy gun to wash the ground with shells for the Japanese army.

Although the number of heavy artillery is not enough now, it will definitely be enough in the future.

Leader Li's eyes were full of expectation.

Zhang Dabiao asked: "Commander, can we launch an attack on Dagu Town?"

Three infantry companies and artillery companies of the first battalion surrounded Dagu Town, but did not start an immediate attack.

Li Yunlong came back to his senses and said: "Immediately launch an attack on Dagu Town. After taking Dagu Town, your first battalion will be stationed in Dagu Town to monitor the devils in the direction of Anhua County, and quickly lead the regiment headquarters. Telephone line, keep in touch with regiment headquarters."

Although Dagu Town and Zhaojiayu Village are about ten kilometers away, they are within the communication range of high-power walkie-talkies.

However, the high-power walkie-talkie is always on, which consumes a lot of battery. Even if Boss Chen can reimburse the battery, he can't waste it at will, so the high-power walkie-talkie is mainly used in wartime.

"Yes!" Zhang Dabiao picked up the low-power walkie-talkie and ordered.

Soon, some gunshots came from the direction of Dagu Town.

After ordering the first battalion to clean up and erase the craters and traces left by the heavy artillery shelling, before the battle in Dagu Town was over, Li Yunlong led everyone back to Zhaojiayu.

Although Dagu Town was occupied, it would be nice to kill the devils stronghold with one shot, but the heavy artillery still needs to be kept secret.

And there are only a few devils and traitors left in Dagu Town, and they captured Dagu Town with the fighting power of a battalion, basically holding hands.

The location of Dagu Town is very important to the regiment headquarters. It must be in the hands of Xinyituan. If it is in the hands of the devils, who use Dagu Town as their base, they only need a surprise attack in the middle of the night to reach Li Yunlong's regiment headquarters.

Back in Zhaojiayu Village, Li Yunlong received a telegram from the headquarters and copied it to the brigade headquarters.

The new regiment was changed to a unit directly under the headquarters. In the future, the new regiment will not be called the new regiment of the 386 brigade, but the new regiment of the Eighth Route Army.

Li Yunlong, who saw the content of the telegram, still couldn't believe it and was a little uncomfortable. He even asked the telegrapher to send a telegram to the 386 brigade, asking the brigade commander if he didn't want the new regiment, Li Yunlong, and asked the brigade commander to tell the headquarters, let the new A regiment continued to win in the 386th brigade.

Li Yunlong still hopes that the new regiment will continue to belong to the 386th brigade.

Because the brigade commander treated him well, he made a mistake and the brigade commander gave him a bag, and every time he played autumn wind, he would leave some for him. Even if Li Yunlong hid some weapons and ammunition behind his back, the brigade commander would not say anything.

However, the brigade commander responded quickly and told him to carry out the orders from the headquarters.

Seeing the brigade commander's reply, Li Yunlong knew that the matter was settled.

I made up my mind in my heart that after the next time I do business and earn a batch of heavy artillery, I will give the brigade commander a few heavy artillery from the heavy artillery given to the new regiment from the headquarters.

Now that the matter has come to this point, Li Yunlong put away other thoughts, and now it is the kingly way to develop the new group.

Others are false.

While knocking on melon seeds and peanuts, he took out the map to study.

The melon seeds and peanuts were sent by Uncle Zhang of Zhaojiayu Village. Li Yunlong ordered the guards to give Uncle Zhang some rice, flour and canned meat as a token of gratitude and rent.

The house of the regiment headquarters now belongs to Uncle Zhang. Uncle Zhang’s son is a soldier of the 120th Division of the Eighth Route Army, and he followed the army to the Jizhong Military Region.

Right now, the Eighth Route Army headquarters assigned to Xinyituan mainly the three counties of Ping'an, Anhua, and Heyuan. In addition, Chu Yunfei's territory was in the Dagushan area of ​​Anhua County.

But the new group has just arrived, and the new group has not had time to control and integrate these sites.

However, Li Yunlong already knew the general situation in the surrounding counties. Except for the county seat, Dagushan and the town, almost every village has the Eighth Route Army militia, and even guerrillas and district brigades.

Typical guerrilla zone.

Now it is time to wait for the 1000 tons of weapons and ammunition to be in place to arm these militias and guerrillas.

However, the number of existing guerrillas and militias is not enough, and soldiers have to be recruited from the young and able-bodied ordinary people.

To get these young and strong people to actively participate and recruit 1 people in a short period of time, in addition to publicity, they have to talk about their achievements.

Although capturing Taiyuan and killing Yoshio Shinozuka is a very impressive record, but the people in the deep mountains have never been to Taiyuan, and many people think that the Eighth Route Army is bragging.

However, as long as the Xinyi Regiment can capture a certain surrounding county, within a few days, the people in several surrounding counties will know about it.

Zhao Gang walked in, and after Li Yunlong told him his plan to attack a certain county, Zhao Gang expressed his support.

With the current strength of Xinyi Regiment, it is not difficult to attack the county seat.

"So, Old Li, which county are you going to fight?" Zhao Gang asked.

"Anhua County, it's the closest to us." Li Yunlong tapped Anhua County on the map with his fingers.

"How about knocking down all the surrounding Anhua, Heyuan and Ping'an counties?" Zhao Gang said with a look on his face.

"If you want to do it, make a big noise." Zhao Gang continued, "There are not many devils in these counties, and each county has at most one squadron of devils, plus a brigade of puppet troops."

"Right now, Yoshio Shinozuka was shot dead by us. The new commander of the First Army must not arrive in Taiyuan so soon."

"At this time, the Japanese First Army must be a pack of wolves without a leader."

"Although the First Army still has several divisions, I estimate that after the Battle of Zhongtiao Mountain, without a supply line, there must not be much food and ammunition left."

"We are fighting the county here, and the devils must be powerless to support them."

"Besides, we have to ask the common people to help repair the road. Let's pay for the wages, and we have to take care of the food, right?"

"We still have to recruit 15000 militiamen and recruits, and we don't have enough food. What to do if we don't have money or food, we can only go to the county to rob devils."

"Also, don't you want to start the name of Xinyi Regiment, take down three counties, is this name loud enough?"

Zhao Gang's words really touched Li Yunlong's heart, because that's what he planned.

He was a master who couldn't stay idle, and now the devils and puppet troops in the county are empty. Waiting for the devils to increase their troops, it will not be so easy to take down the county.

Li Yunlong slapped the table and laughed: "Good Zhao Gang, it seems that my position as the leader of the trump card group will not last long. Have you been thinking about this position for a long time?"

"Come on." Zhao Gang waved his hand and said, "This is actually what you think in your heart, I'm just saying what you think."

"The one who knows me is Zhao Gang." Li Yunlong nodded and smiled. He was new here, and Li Yunlong also wanted to keep a low profile, but his strength did not allow it.

When the three counties are conquered, only a little more publicity is needed, and young and strong people who sign up to join the army will definitely flock to it.

Li Yunlong added: "Also, brother Chen should also be interested in the business of the three counties."

That is the county seat. Although it is not as valuable as Taiyuan, the provincial capital, the price of the three counties combined will not be low.

"Then when do you plan to do it?" Zhao Gang asked.

"As soon as possible." Li Yunlong said, "Wait for the Sword Squadron to find out the enemy's defense situation in the three counties, formulate a battle plan, and negotiate a deal before we can start."

After confirming this, Li Yunlong said: "Our artillery battalion also has to be expanded. Right now, our artillery battalion has 12 150mm heavy artillery pieces, 105 10mm howitzers, 75 41mm mountain artillery pieces, plus Let's get 12 105mm howitzers and 12 75mm mountain guns, that is, 12 150mm heavy guns, 24 105mm howitzers, 53 75mm mountain guns, a total of 89 guns, so many guns in an artillery battalion A little bloated."

"Then how do you plan to expand?" Zhao Gang asked, the scale already exceeded one artillery brigade.

At present, a standard artillery brigade has 2 artillery pieces in two artillery regiments, and the new regiment has 72 more artillery pieces than the standard artillery brigade.

Li Yunlong said: "Another artillery battalion will be expanded, divided into the 1st and 2nd artillery battalions. In the future, when there will be more artillery, the 3rd artillery battalion and the 4th artillery battalion will be expanded. Wang Chengzhu will be the commander of the 1st artillery battalion and the deputy commander of the original artillery battalion. Liu Dazhuang served as the commander of the 2nd Pao Battalion."

Although the artillery battalion, in fact, each artillery battalion has exceeded the size of the artillery regiment, and each artillery battalion must be equipped with more than 1000 people to play well.

Zhao Gang nodded, expressing his agreement, and then asked: "Then how do you plan to select the 300 tank soldiers who will be assigned to Brother Chen's training base?"

Li Yunlong said: "There is no need for selection, just send half of the cavalry battalion directly."

When Zhao Gang heard the words, he suddenly realized: "Do you want to transform the cavalry battalion into a tank battalion in the future?"

Li Yunlong nodded, and his tone was affirmative: "That's right!"

Cavalry is still a bit tasteless in modern warfare.

The destruction of the Black Island Cavalry Regiment is an example. If dozens or hundreds of light and heavy machine guns are placed on the battlefield, no matter how many cavalry there are, it will be for nothing.

However, in mountain combat, cavalry also has advantages, such as being able to maneuver quickly.

Therefore, even if Li Yunlong reorganizes the cavalry battalion into a tank battalion before the new regiment's tank unit has formed a scale, he will still retain a part of the cavalry.
