I am helping

Chapter 437 Accumulate food widely!
"Reporting to the head, Wei Dayong is reporting to you!"

At the gate of the regiment.

Wearing a gray special Eighth Route Army combat uniform, a steel helmet on his head, and a submachine gun hanging on his chest, Wei Dayong saluted Li Yunlong with a snap.

Since the establishment of the Spike Squadron directly under the headquarters, Wei Dayong has served as the acting captain.

Although he failed to participate in the Battle of Taiyuan, in the Yangquan area, he led the Spike Squadron to fight with the brigade commander and the 2nd Guards Division, and made a lot of contributions.

This time, it was the Spike Squadron that escorted the student pilots and battalion-level officers to Northwest Shanxi.

"Monk, did you encounter any trouble on the way?"

Li Yunlong looked Wei Dayong up and down for a few times, looking satisfied, and asked slowly.

"I met three or two thieves, and we sent them away."

Wei Dayong grinned: "Leader, the boss ordered all the people I escorted to arrive, and none of them are missing."

It is hundreds of kilometers from the southeast of Shanxi to the northwest of Shanxi. On the way, we have to pass through enemy-occupied areas and cross the Zhengtai Railway and Tongpu Railway.

However, the headquarters allocated a military horse for each person on the road, and with the escort of the Spike Squadron, it took only a few days to arrive at the station of the new regiment.

The current Wei Dayong is not the reckless man in the original play.

Although his personality is still somewhat aggressive and rebellious, he is a special operations master with rich combat experience.

While speaking, Wei Dayong took out an envelope from his pocket and handed it to Li Yunlong.

"This is?" Li Yunlong asked in surprise.

"This is the list given by the boss. He said that he will call it to you personally." Wei Dayong said.

Li Yunlong called Wei Dayong to the regiment headquarters, and then he took out the list and looked at it. The list was a bit long and had to have several pages.

Exactly the list of 50 flight cadets, 4 battalion officers, and 4 instructors.

Li Yunlong was slightly stunned, and the headquarters only gave a list of the names of 4 battalion-level officers and 4 instructors.

But he now has gaps for seven battalion officers and seven instructors.

As for the officers of the company and platoon, he can be promoted from the existing main battalions of the Xinyi Regiment.

That is to say, the other three battalion-level officers and three trainers had to be handled by Li Yunlong himself.

"How about it."

After reading the list, Li Yunlong put the list in an envelope and put it in his pocket: "Are you still the acting captain of your Spike Squadron?"

Wei Dayong said: "The head of the headquarters wants to straighten me up and become the captain of the Spike, but I want to go back to the old army and continue working with my brothers."

"It's enough to have your words."

Li Yunlong asked: "Then what kind of special operations, have you taught those guys from the Spike Squadron?"

"They have all learned it." Wei Dayong said, "Half a month ago, I led the Spike Squadron into Pingding County, slaughtered more than 50 devils, and retreated unscathed."

"Good job!" Li Yunlong nodded.

Although the Spike Squadron is not as good as the Sword Squadron of the new regiment in terms of special operations experience, the guys from the Spike are the elites selected by the entire army, and they are not inferior to the Sword Squadron at all.

"Since you want to stay in the old army, don't leave when you come back this time." Li Yunlong said.

"The head of the headquarters..." Wei Dayong's expression was happy at first, but he hesitated, he was afraid that the head of the headquarters would keep him.

In the last battle, the Langya Squadron performed well, and the head of the headquarters wanted to keep him as the captain of Langya.

"Don't worry, I will communicate with the head of the headquarters."

Li Yunlong patted Wei Dayong on the shoulder and gave him a stable look.

Wei Dayong was originally one of Li Yunlong's people, but he just helped the special forces directly under the headquarters to carry out training, and the head of the headquarters left him behind. Isn't this an autumn wind?
What's more, the headquarters is stingy, and only 4 battalion-level officers and instructors are given. He is expanding here and is short of manpower.

"Yes!" Wei Dayong grinned, turned and left.

After Wei Dayong left, Li Yunlong sat cross-legged on the kang table, his eyes revealing his thoughts.

The current two main tasks of the new regiment are to send away the pilot trainees and tank trainees, and to complete the expansion work as soon as possible.

At present, Li Yunlong has communicated with Boss Chen, and the transport planes for transporting the pilots and tank students and the escorting fighter jets have been prepared and can be transported at any time.

Now the main task is to complete the expansion work as soon as possible.

Otherwise, the 36th Division's blockade would be a bit troublesome for the Xinyi Regiment.

In the field, the 36th Division could not do anything to the Xinyi Regiment, but it was not realistic for the Xinyi Regiment to take the initiative to attack the county town defended by the 36th Division.

With the strength of the 36th Division, the Xinyi Regiment can be exhausted just by fighting in the streets.

Fortunately, most of the American weapons and ammunition are already in place and put into the warehouse.

Moreover, the recruitment work has almost been completed, and now it is waiting for the battalion-level officers to arrive.

The main force with a total of more than 1 people in seven divisions consumes a lot of food every day, but fortunately, a batch of food has been prepared.

The remaining 3000 tons of grain will be delivered by transport planes one after another.

Based on the calculation that one plane can transport 10 tons of grain each time, it is estimated that 300 transport planes will be needed to settle the 3000 tons of grain.

3000 tons, or 600 million catties, mixed with coarse grains, is enough for more than 2 people in Xinyituan to eat for more than half a year.

However, Li Yunlong felt that the food was still not enough.

We have to stockpile more food.

If you want to accumulate grain, you have to attack the county towns defended by the devils. In a county town, there are 100 submachine guns, 2 heavy artillery pieces, 2 anti-aircraft guns, and 200 tons of grain.

But now that the devils have come to a division, and the new regiment wants to attack the county, it has to expand quickly.

However, the construction speed of the new group of warehouses obviously cannot keep up with the speed of food transportation.

So it will still take some time to settle the 3000 tons of grain.

In addition, Li Yunlong also has spare weapons equipped with American equipment for 3000 people.

This is what the Fourth Battalion earned by killing more than 3000 devils in Baozi Mountain, and it has been settled now, but Li Yunlong has not used these weapons for the time being.

After clearing his mind, Li Yunlong picked up the phone and shook the handle, dialed the number of the cavalry battalion headquarters, and ordered the cavalry battalion commander Sun Desheng to come to the regiment headquarters.

Not long after, Sun Desheng came to report on horseback.

There was only a neighing of a military horse outside the regiment headquarters, and Sun Desheng's voice sounded outside the door a moment later: "Report!"

"Come in!" Li Yunlong shouted out the door.

"Reporting regiment leader, Sun Desheng is reporting to you, please give instructions!" Sun Desheng walked in and saluted Li Yunlong with a snap.

"Sun Desheng." Li Yunlong asked, "The 300th person I asked you to pick last time, how are you preparing?"

"Report to the head of the group!" Sun Desheng responded loudly, "The selection has been completed."

After a pause, Sun Desheng asked tentatively: "Leader, what is the purpose of selecting these 300 people? Is it to form a death squad?"

Li Yunlong's face was serious, and he criticized angrily: "What the **** death squad, what are you thinking in your stupid mind, you can beat me in a battle, even if it is a tough battle, you can't learn the way of a devil's pig's sudden charge."

"Yes!" Sun Desheng straightened himself up quickly.

Then, Li Yunlong frowned, his expression relaxed, and he stared at Sun Desheng with anticipation:
"This time you are asked to pick the number 300 because Boss Chen has an opportunity to study, and he is going to send the elite of your cavalry battalion to a military base overseas to study."

Sun Desheng was stunned for a moment, could it be that he is learning riding skills?
"Study?" Sun Desheng hurriedly said, "Regimental Commander, our cavalry battalion's riding skills can be said to be invincible, and there is no need to learn at all. If you don't believe me, you can go to the cavalry battalion to see for yourself."

Sun Desheng wasn't bragging.

The cavalry battalion equipped with Yunlong sword and M1 carbine is indeed very powerful.

With the same strength, the new regiment cavalry battalion can completely torture the devil cavalry.

"Of course I believe in the combat effectiveness of your cavalry battalion."

Seeing Sun Desheng's puzzled expression, Li Yunlong said: "However, in modern warfare, the role of cavalry is very small. I don't know if you have noticed. After the last few battles, the cavalry battalion has basically not played any role."

Sun Desheng cocked the back of his head with a slightly embarrassed expression. In the recent major battles, the 37th Division, the 2nd Guards Division and the Taiyuan Battle were hit hard, and the cavalry battalion had almost no chance to play.

The only time he showed his face when he robbed the Devil's army at the Dragon King Convex, and that was when he cooperated with the brother troops and defeated a devil's cavalry regiment.

"So, the cavalry battalion will be converted into a tank battalion."

Li Yunlong's tone is unquestionable: "Large corps combat is the mainstream combat method in future wars. This involves the cooperation of ground-air coordination, infantry-tank coordination, and infantry coordination. Do you understand what I mean?"

Li Yunlong read "The Theory of Great In-depth Combat of the Great Corps". He read the entire book, but he didn't see any field involving cavalry combat.

This shows that cavalry is useless in war and is destined to be eliminated.

At the moment, the intensity of confrontation on the Chinese battlefield is not high, which allows the cavalry to be used.

Li Yunlong, who had suffered in the West Route Army, naturally dreamed of forming his own cavalry unit.

But now that he has the opportunity to reorganize the cavalry unit into a tank unit, Li Yunlong naturally does not hesitate.

Still the same sentence, Boss Chen's product must be a high-quality product.

The tank he produced is definitely not comparable to the little devil's diced tank.

Li Yunlong had a hunch that if he killed another devil lieutenant general, he might be able to get a tank from Boss Chen.

Therefore, Li Datuan's target was naturally set on Jing Guanren, the devil's lieutenant general who was closest to Xinyituan.

Sun Desheng took a deep breath. He naturally understood the meaning of the regiment commander. In future wars, there will be no cooperation from various arms except cavalry.

"Regimental Commander, our cavalry is very good at riding horses, but we can't handle tanks!"

Sun Desheng has been a cavalry soldier since he was a soldier, and now he is going to be a tank soldier, with a slightly confused and hesitant look on his face.

"That's why I sent you to study." Li Yunlong said with a straight face, "This is a task assigned to you by the organization. You lead the team yourself and guarantee the quality to me. If you can't complete the task, the labor and management will take your skin off Sun Desheng! "

Li Yunlong has rich experience in leading troops, and he knows very well that he has to put some pressure on Sun Desheng, otherwise this kid will keep grinding.

"Yes!"

As he expected, Sun Desheng's expression froze when he heard the words, and he straightened himself up quickly.

Expressed his position: "Regimental Commander, don't worry, our old grandson has never served anyone as a cavalry soldier, and he will definitely be able to do well as a tank soldier!"

"now it's right!"

Li Yunlong showed a look of satisfaction on his brows: "Go ahead, keep this matter a secret for the time being, don't tell the soldiers, and let the soldiers prepare bedding and other personal items and wait for orders at any time."

"Yes!" Sun Desheng straightened up, gave a military salute, and turned to leave.
