Chapter 626 Continue, Don't Stop!

Headquarters.

"Are you going to apply to be transferred to the Xinyi Regiment as the logistics minister?"

Looking at the respectful Zhang Wanhe in front of him, the Chief's tone was surprised.

Well, the logistics chief of the 129th division was improper, and he went to Northwest Shanxi to be the logistics chief of a regiment-level unit. Is there something wrong with his mind?
But the chief changed his mind, the Xinyi Regiment was not an ordinary regiment-level force.

In terms of military strength, it is comparable to an army, and in terms of firepower, it is stronger than the sum of several armies.

Especially after this expansion, the strength and firepower of the new regiment became even more terrifying.

"Yes, Chief."

After a pause, Zhang Wanhe said again: "Chief, I have already inquired about it. At present, the Xinyi Regiment does not have the post of logistics director, only a transportation battalion commander. The logistics dispatch is mainly in charge of the political commissar Zhao Gang. How can a big family do without a logistics minister?"

Minister Zhang knew Li Yunlong very well.

This guy is so generous every time he handed over to the headquarters, handing in so many good things to the headquarters, he is so rich.

On the one hand, Zhang Wanhe did think that Xinyituan needed a logistics minister.

On the other hand, Zhang Wanhe also has some selfish intentions.

Xinyituan is really too rich, and it will become even richer in the future. It is 129% certain that it will exceed the [-]th division.

Although the Xinyi Regiment was only a regiment-level unit, Zhang Wanhe didn't regard the Xinyi Regiment as a regiment-level unit at all.

In the future, the new regiment may have tanks, aircraft and even warships. Wouldn't it be a pleasure to be a logistics minister in such an army?

Although he will have to obey that boy Li Yunlong's orders in the future, Zhang Wanhe doesn't care.

As long as he can fight devils better and help Li Yunlong eliminate more devils, Zhang Wanhe is willing to do anything.

Minister Zhang, who has participated in the revolution for more than ten years, is very conscious.

"Have you made up your mind?"

the chief asked again.

The new regiment really needs a logistics minister who is good at coordinating and dispatching and providing life services for the troops of the new regiment, especially since the new regiment is about to expand.

After the expansion, the new regiment may have [-] to [-] people including the main force and the militia.

Zhao Gang had to take care of all the eating, drinking, and messing with so many people, and Zhao Gang also had to organize and lead the political work of the troops. The political and ideological work of tens of thousands of people was not so easy to do.

Zhang Wanhe's tone was firm: "Chief, I've made up my mind. I'm applying to be transferred to the Xinyi Regiment as the head of logistics."

"You go back first, I'll think about it." The chief nodded.

"Yes!"

"Thank you Chief!"

Zhang Wanhe looked slightly happy.

The chief didn't explicitly refuse, saying that he was thinking about it, so it means that there is a high probability that this will be done.

Afterwards, Zhang Wanhe walked out quickly.

……

Because Li Yunlong made a fortune in Jinbei Datong, the two brothers Ding Wei and Kong Jie were also extremely greedy.

A clear-coded telegram made Li Yunlong famous again, and he was called a national hero.

Even Li Yunlong and Xue Yue are called by folk storytellers as Southern Xueyue and Northern Yunlong. With these two people, they would not perish in China.

Therefore, Ding Wei and Kong Jie were not idle, and were preparing to attack the three counties in their respective defense zones.

Right now, the counties in Ding Wei's and Kong Jie's defense areas don't have many troops. The largest number of devils in the county is no more than two squadrons, and the smallest number of devils is one squadron plus some puppet troops.

Because the devils felt that they had already destroyed all the grain in the defense areas of the Dingwei and Kong Jie regiments in North Shanxi, not even a grain of grain was left.

Millions of people have no food to eat, and the Eighth Route Army has to go hungry too.

You can't even hold a gun, and you still attack the county?
So after a period of time, when the base areas of the New Second Regiment and the Independent Regiment were starved and starved, the devil's troops would set out from the county to sweep them up.

In addition, Kazuki Yamamoto and Yoshio Iwamatsu are still planning to train the advance team to enter the defense area of ​​the New Second Regiment and the Independent Regiment, pretending to be the Eighth Route Army to destroy the military-civilian relationship in the base area.

However, the devil never thought of it.

Ding Wei and Kong Jie replaced all the devils who were killed this time with food, which not only solved the food problem of more than 100 million ordinary people.

It also made the military-civilian relationship between the common people and the Eighth Route Army more united.

The common people are more and more supportive of the work of the Eighth Route Army, such as building roads and recruiting troops, and the common people are actively participating.

During this time, Kong Jie and Ding Wei were not idle, and started recruiting immediately after returning to the base area.

In the anti-sweeping operation, both the New Second Regiment and the Independent Regiment suffered more than half of the casualties, that is, about 5000 casualties.

Some of the slightly injured fighters have recovered and returned to the team.

At present, the strength of the New Second Regiment and the Independent Regiment has reached 7000, but 2000 of them are recruits and cannot go to the battlefield yet.

So when Ding Wei and Kong Jie sent a telegram.

Li Yunlong immediately sent two companies, each to the defense area of ​​the New Second Regiment and the Independent Regiment, to attack the county together.

These two companies are just for show. Anyway, to win the business of the county, Li Yunlong only has two 2mm howitzers.

With the current combat effectiveness of the New Second Regiment and the Independent Regiment, it is not difficult to capture these county towns.

Northwest Shanxi.

Under the leadership of Kong Jie, more than 386 troops from the Independent Regiment of the 7000th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army went straight to the three counties occupied by devils in the defense zone.

Kong Jie's tactic was to use half of the infantry to encircle the other two county towns, and then use half of the infantry and all artillery to concentrate on attacking another county town.

In order not to scare away the devils and puppet soldiers in the other two counties, they will lose blood by then.

……

Left County.

Hiding on a hilltop, Kong Jie, holding a binoculars, watched dozens of mule carts enter the county seat, squinting his eyes: "It's better to come early than coincidentally. Today is the day for the devils in the county to resupply."

According to intelligence, there are 2 squadrons of devils and 1 battalion of puppet troops stationed in this county, with a total strength of about 800 people.

Kong Jie is still very clear about this.

"Leader, order the attack..."

Beside him, the first battalion commander Guan Dashan stared at the county town in the distance, and couldn't help licking his lips.

Guan Dashan, like Zhang Dabiao, is a guy who gets excited when he smells blood.

Seeing the transport team composed of devils and puppet soldiers, I couldn't hold back the killing intent in my heart.

"Hey hey hey..."

"Don't worry, wait until the transport team of the devils and the puppet army enters the city before doing anything. Anyway, it's all ours."

With a smile, Kong Jie said in a cold tone:

"The devils don't know me, Kong Jie, and dare to station troops in labor-capital defense areas and county towns. They simply don't know how to write dead."

"Let the artillery set up all the cannons first, and the cavalry and infantry move around the county town to surround the county town with labor and capital."

The reimbursement of weapons and ammunition for the new regiment has been transported in place.

In addition, as the people who crossed the Yellow River westward to northern Shaanxi returned to Northwest Shanxi one after another, the transport plane arranged by Boss Chen also began to airdrop grain at a fixed location.

Received by troops sent by the New Second Regiment and the Independent Regiment, and then distributed to the common people.

For the 100 machine guns given by Li Yunlong, Kong Jie and Ding Wei each replaced some heavy weapons such as mortars, M2 heavy machine guns, machine guns, and bazooka, which greatly strengthened their strength.

The reason why Kong Jie dared to attack the county with artillery in broad daylight was because the devils who bullied the North China Front Army had no planes.

If the devil had a plane, then Kong Jie must have attacked at night.

Eight-way cavalry and infantry appeared around the county seat. The first reaction of the devils and the puppet army was not to flee but to close the city gate.

Along with the troops of the Independent Regiment, the four city gates of Zuo County were surrounded.

A depression in the distance behind Kong Jie is the artillery position of the Independent Regiment Artillery Battalion. All gun barrels with a caliber of 75 mm or more are raised high, and the muzzles point in the direction of the distant county town.

There are not many ordinary people in the county, so the artillery battalion of the Xinyi Regiment did not pull the cannon under the county to aim at the city wall, but directly shelled from a long distance.

Although long-range bombardment will waste a lot of shells due to accuracy problems.

But the shells are reimbursed by Boss Chen, and the long-range shelling can better protect the artillery and cannons.

Although the cannon models of the Independent Regiment are relatively mixed, there are American 75mm mountain cannons, Japanese 75mm mountain cannons, and German 105mm howitzers.

But the number is quite a lot, there are nearly 40 doors.

It surpassed the level of the Japanese Artillery Wing.

If dozens of 60mm and 82mm mortars are added, the artillery firepower of the new regiment far exceeds that of the devil's second-line division, and is comparable to the artillery firepower of the ordinary Japanese division A.

If you are poor, you will strike with precision, and if you are rich, you will have full coverage.

"The artillery is loaded!"

The artillery battalion commander reported to Kong Jie on the walkie-talkie.

Taking a deep breath, Kong Jie shouted loudly, "Fire!"

"fire!"

On the artillery position, the artillery battalion commander who received the order to fire suddenly put his hand down.

The gunners struggled to pull the firing ropes in their hands.

"Tom tom tom..."

Accompanied by the muffled and powerful sound of firing, nearly 40 cannons fired almost at the same time. The fireworks at the muzzles of the cannons bloomed, and the strong wind connected into one piece, setting off a large amount of smoke and dust.

About ten seconds later, a long scream roared from the south of the city, crossed the sky above the heads of the independent regiment fighters, and fell like an overwhelming sea on the south gate wall of Zuoxian County and the fortifications outside the city.

"Boom boom boom..."

In just a moment, the southern city wall of Zuo County was shrouded in gunpowder smoke.

Kong Jie's siege tactics are different from Li Yunlong's.

Kong Jie likes to concentrate firepower and superior forces, break through the enemy a little first, and allow large troops to attack the city.

He called this tactic besiege three and attack one.

That is to say, the other three directions are feints or even non-attacks, and only one direction is the main attack.

But Li Yunlong likes all the main attacks, and whichever battalion enters the city first will be the first.

"Go on, don't stop!"

The artillerymen of the independent regiment who had gone through the Taiyuan Campaign and the Shanxi Northwest Anti-mopping Campaign have long been reborn and have high quality.

Under the command of the artillery battalion commander, the gunner handed the shells to the loader, who inserted the prepared shells into the barrel and closed the breech block.

In the smooth movements of the artillerymen, each cannon poured shells at the city wall occupied by the devils and puppet troops at the fastest firing rate of 5 rounds per minute.

Kong Jie used all the cannons of the Artillery Battalion of the Independent Regiment to capture the county seat of Zuo County in the shortest possible time.

After beating Zuo County, he had to lead the main force to fight the other two counties.

After fighting the three counties, it is best to quickly receive the 150mm howitzer.

When Kong Jie and Ding Wei saw the 150mm howitzer at Li Yunlong's place, their eyes shone like they were seeing a beauty.
