I am helping

Chapter 684 Tuba Road, the land of local tyrants!

"The tactics Brother Chen mentioned the day before yesterday are also worth learning from."

On the third day, in the inner room of the regiment headquarters of the new regiment, Li Yunlong sat cross-legged on the kang table, knocking peanuts, and said in thought.

"What tactics?"

Zhao Gang who was sitting opposite was slightly taken aback and asked.

Li Yunlong said: "It's the local tyrant's style of fighting. When fighting, we first use planes and cannons to bombard the enemy's positions for days and nights. Our soldiers smoke cigarettes and drink fine wine in the positions. When the bombing is almost done, the soldiers and tanks will go to the enemy's position to collect corn."

Zhao Gang smiled slightly and said, "This tactic is simple and crude, and the effect is very good. Even the Japanese army seldom use such a local tyrant's style of play."

"However, with our ammunition reserves and the speed of Boss Chen's logistics transportation, I'm afraid we won't be able to fight such a battle for the time being."

"And we don't have planes yet."

How many artillery shells and aerial bombs would be consumed to bombard a random position for days and nights?

Although Li Yunlong had tried it before, the ghosts of the 10th Division felt what Li Yunlong's ammunition was.

It's just a pity that the devils of the 10th Division escaped too fast, so Li Yunlong's ammunition tactics were just a taste of it.

"So, we, Shanxi Northwest Iron Triangle, have to build our own arsenal."

Li Yunlong nodded and said with deep sympathy:
"The arsenal's horsepower is fully activated, and Boss Chen's logistics supplies are added, and this kind of local tyrant's style of play can almost be realized."

Although Li Yunlong is very picky, he is very willing to use ammunition when fighting.

In the original play, the battle of Lijiapo became famous in the first battle. In addition to the reasonable tactics, it was related to Li Yunlong's use of more than 3000 grenades from the whole regiment.

Within 2 minutes, more than 3000 grenades fell on the front position of the Japanese army in Lijiapo and exploded, causing extremely terrible damage.

You must know that at that time, the production of hand grenades in the border area of ​​the Eighth Route Army Arsenal was very low, and more than 3000 hand grenades were almost the annual supply of the new regiment.

But Li Yunlong was very willing to use all the grenades to adopt a unique fire attack tactic.

Napoleon had a classic saying about war: The principle of war is the same as that of siege. Firepower must be concentrated on one point, and a gap must be opened. Once the stability of the enemy is destroyed, the next task is to completely destroy it. rout.

Li Yunlong is a natural tactician. In the field of war, theory is pale, and rich war practice is important.

Now Xinyituan's family property is perfectly in line with Li Yunlong's original idea.

That is to expand the new regiment to tens of thousands of people, with tanks, heavy artillery, and armored vehicles. The troops are motorized, and the infantry's individual firepower is extremely satisfactory.

But now, Li Yunlong felt that it was not enough. To drive the Japanese army out of China, the Xinyi Regiment needed to be stronger, and the Eighth Route Army needed to be stronger.

In modern warfare, Li Yunlong felt more and more that the strength of an army should mainly be reflected in its firepower.

In addition to strategy and tactics, this is Li Yunlong's definition of the new regiment's style of play in the future, using extremely powerful firepower to clear the way.

The title of Tubalu of the Eighth Route Army cannot be taken off.

But Li Yunlong didn't want to take it off either.

In the future, the Eighth Route Army will also be called Tubalu, but it is no longer the soil of the old hats, but the soil of the local tyrants!

Speaking of this, Zhao Gang couldn't help showing anticipation in his eyes.

Zhao Gang smiled slightly: "The strength of our new regiment is getting stronger and stronger. The development plan for the new regiment that I made with you nearly two years ago has been successfully completed. Do you have any plans for the next one to two years? Or how far do you want to develop Xinyituan?"

The current time is late January 1942, and the battle at Cangyunling took place in February 1.

Boss Chen and Li Yunlong met for the first time during the Cangyunling battle. Not long after the Cangyunling battle ended, Zhao Gang was sent by the brigade commander to serve as the political commissar of the Xinyi Regiment.

Zhao Gang calculated the time. It has been almost two years since he served as the political commissar of the Xinyi Regiment.

In the past two years, Zhao Gang and Li Yunlong led the Xinyi Group to kill more than 5 devils and nearly 10 Japanese generals.

Of course, the greatest achievement of the two of them is to bring out an unbeatable, undefeated, and iron-clad Eighth Route Army hero unit.

The combat effectiveness of this unit far exceeds that of the most elite Type A divisions of the Japanese army.

In addition, Li Yunlong supported various weapons and equipment in the headquarters and the production line of the arsenal, making the main force of the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army rich.

It also turned brother troops such as the New Second Regiment and the Independent Regiment into the leading local tyrant troops in the Chinese army.

Li Yunlong thought about it carefully, and said: "Recently, I have also been thinking about this issue. My tentative plan is that in the next year or so, the main force of our new regiment will grow to 10 people, and the militia will grow to 15 people. With more than 150 bombers and fighters, what do you think of the plan?"

"The difficulty is not small!"

Zhao Gang said with a slight smile.

Now the main force of the new regiment is only more than 3 people. After the expansion, there are more than 4 people, and there are less than 5 people.

In other words, if the new regiment wants to expand to more than 5 people within a year, it needs to kill at least 10 devils from the second-tier division.

Because of the weapons and equipment of the new regiment, half of them need to be handed over to the headquarters.

It's much faster if the enemy is a division A, and infantry is three times the business of second-line divisions.

However, it is not easy to kill the devils of the Type A Division. After all, opportunities like this time to ambush the devils of the 1st Division are rare.

Zhao Gang's tone was worried: "Besides, the expansion to 10 people a year, don't you think our expansion is too fast?"

By then, there will be nearly 40 infantry battalions alone, plus other battalions, the number of battalions will exceed 50.

Moreover, Li Yunlong still doesn't like the puppet army, and never let the puppet army form a new regiment, preferring to have ordinary people without any combat experience.

These puppet soldiers are proficient in eating, drinking, whoring and gambling. Li Yunlong is afraid that these puppet troops will spoil the atmosphere of the new regiment.

In this way, the speed of expansion is greatly reduced.

"Make a plan first." Li Yunlong said indifferently, "Whether we can complete the plan is another matter. Maybe we can exceed the plan. Who can say for sure?"

"Okay!" Zhao Gang nodded, "Then make the plan like this first."

After a pause, Zhao Gang said again: "Our current infantry battalion is 15. When this expansion is completed, there will be 19 infantry battalions. In the future, there may be dozens or even hundreds of infantry battalions."

"Now there are more than ten infantry battalions, and we are still relatively good at commanding operations."

"When there are dozens or hundreds of infantry battalions in the future, it will be very difficult to command!"

"Moreover, in the future when several infantry battalions will fight together, each battalion commander will have a different tactical command style and a different style of play. It will not work without a commander."

Although the new regiment has infantry battalions under its jurisdiction, each infantry battalion is regiment-level.

No matter where these battalions are placed, they are all at the level of the top main force regiment.

Commanding a dozen infantry battalions is okay, but once more than 30 infantry battalions, it will be chaotic and the troops will look bloated.

For example, in this battle to ambush the 1st Division, although there are three regiments in the Iron Triangle in Northwest Shanxi, there are more than 30 battalions in total.

But Ding Wei and Kong Jie participated in the command, so there were no major problems.

Li Yunlong understood what Zhao Gang meant, and wanted to set up another level between the regiment level and the battalion level of the new regiment.

For example, when Li Yunlong and Xing Zhiguo led the team to fight Niangziguan, it was Li Yunlong and Xing Zhiguo who commanded three battalions to fight.

Once there are too many infantry battalions in the future, the regiment headquarters alone will not be able to command them at all.

However, Li Yunlong has also thought about this issue.

"That's how I think about it."

Li Yunlong looked thoughtful and said:
"In normal times, each infantry battalion trains and is stationed separately. Once it comes to wartime, we will form a combined battalion to fight according to the needs of the mission."

"For example, if we need four battalions to attack a certain county, then we will draw four battalions from the infantry battalion to form a combined battalion to attack the county."

"Synthetic battalion? That's a good idea." Zhao Gang's eyes lit up, and he nodded slightly, "The crux of the matter is, who will command this synthetic battalion? You, me, Deputy Commander Xing and Chief of Staff Wang can't command it. ?”

With four infantry battalions and one artillery battalion, that is almost the strength of a division.

If one of the battalion commanders is allowed to command, everyone is the battalion commander, and no one will obey the other, and there will definitely be some unnecessary troubles at that time.

As for why it is not called a strengthened battalion, because now every battalion in the new regiment is a strengthened battalion.

"That's definitely not possible." Li Yunlong shook his head like a rattle, and said, "With just a few of us, we can't command so many battalions."

Li Yunlong said: "I'm going to apply to the headquarters for the battalion commanders of our main battalion to apply for a regimental deputy level treatment."

Now Li Yunlong is treated at the brigade level, and of course his position is still the head of the regiment.

Going up...that's...

"Regiment deputy level treatment?" Zhao Gang's eyes lit up again, "It's the same as when you were promoted to deputy brigade level treatment by the headquarters, and you can command other regiment level troops?"

"That's right!"

Li Yunlong nodded:
"In this way, the problem of bloated troops and poor command can be solved."

"In order to facilitate the command, I initially plan to set up six main battalions. The current four main battalions plus the division one battalion and division two battalion will add more main battalions according to the performance of each division battalion in the future."

The commanders of the four main battalions, the First Battalion and the Second Battalion are Zhang Dabiao, Commander of the First Battalion, Zheng Yu, Commander of the Second Battalion, Xu Yonghai, Commander of the Third Battalion, and Chen Dugu, Commander of the Fourth Battalion.

As well as Lu Yingjun, the first battalion commander of the division, and Wei Dayong, the second battalion commander of the division.

After the reorganization of the troops, the organization and battalion commanders of the original four main battalions remained unchanged, and the first and second division battalions were reorganized into the fifth main battalion and the sixth main battalion.

Originally, Li Yunlong wanted to give Zhang Dabiao the position of chief of staff of the regiment, but the headquarters sent the chief of staff to the new regiment, so Zhang Dabiao could only be treated as a regimental deputy.

As for making Zhang Dabiao a combat staff officer, that would be an overkill. The staff officer doesn't have a leader, and he doesn't even fart.

In the original play, Zhang Dabiao is the chief of staff of the regiment and the first battalion commander.

Zhao Gang nodded in agreement. In wartime, it would be no problem to let the main battalion commanders who were paid at the deputy level of the regiment command the combined battalion.

Zhao Gang laughed: "It's still Lao Li, you spend a lot of time, I'm still thinking about these issues, and you have thought through these issues thoroughly."

"Can you talk?" Li Yunlong held his head up, pretending to be displeased, "What do you mean you have a lot of money? I'm resourceful!"
