Chapter 725 Teach Yan Laoxi a lesson!
In the next half month, there will be few wars in North China.

The Iron Triangle in Northwest Shanxi is busy preparing its military, waiting for a counterattack.

The reorganization of the new regiment has almost been completed, and the expansion of 15 infantry battalions has been completed. Each infantry battalion has more than 2500 people and has 12 companies under its jurisdiction.

The new regiment formed a new rocket launcher battalion, equipped with 16 Katyusha rocket launchers, but they are still in training and have not formed combat effectiveness.

The Sword Squadron is also stepping up its training, absorbing another batch of good seedlings including Ma Chengfeng, expanding to 140 people.

When the Sword Squadron expands to more than 200 people, it will not be called the Sword Squadron, but the Sword Brigade.

Zhao Gang hurried into the regiment headquarters and found that Li Yunlong was not reading as usual, but lying on the table, working on the map on the table.

What is this dog doing?
Zhao Gang walked over to Li Yunlong to have a look.

"Old Li, are you going to attack Datong?"

Seeing the arrows on the map, Zhao Gang immediately guessed what Li Yunlong wanted to do.

"That's right, I'm planning to attack the 1st Division stationed in Datong."

Li Yunlong nodded, not hiding anything from Zhao Gang, and threw the triangle ruler and pencil on the map.

Although Li Yunlong was born with the ability to read pictures, his homework on the pictures was rather sloppy.

However, the basic skills of Li Yunlong's homework on the map are not bad, no worse than the few combat staff officers in the regiment headquarters.

"In the past two months, our new regiment has expanded by more than 2 new recruits!"

Li Yunlong said solemnly:

"The total force has exceeded 5, and nearly half of the soldiers are recruits. I am worried that the combat effectiveness of the troops will be affected."

The New First Regiment itself recruited 1 recruits, and from the New Second Regiment and the Independent Regiment, they exchanged 6 new recruits through business.

With only about 3 recruits short, the Xinyi Regiment completed this wave of expansion.

The training battalion is already recruiting recruits. In two or three months at most, these 3 recruits can be trained and sent to the battlefield.

Zhao Gang nodded. As Li Yunlong's partner for two years, he instantly guessed Li Yunlong's purpose: "Old Li, you want to attack the 1st Division to accumulate the recruits' actual combat experience?"

"That's right!" Li Yunlong said, "In addition to accumulating the actual combat experience of recruits, we can also earn weapons and ammunition. The 1st Division is a sweet potato for our new regiment!"

The infantry and cavalry of the 1st Division tripled the business, and Li Yunlong had long coveted it.

Now the 1st Division has been disabled and its combat effectiveness is not strong, but the 1st Division is still a Type A division, and the infantry business is still three times.

The first division in Datong can not only accumulate the actual combat experience of the recruits, but also make a lot of money, which is not a loss no matter how you look at it.

Li Yunlong's original plan was that the Xinyi Regiment would not fight major battles in the past few months. While expanding its troops, it would wait for the devils to sweep up in March and April or to counterattack in June.

However, after Li Yunlong exchanged cannons for 9000 recruits from Ding Wei and Kong Jie, the Xinyi Regiment completed most of the expansion plan 3 months ahead of schedule.

This gave Li Yunlong more capital to do things.

Li Yunlong continued to analyze: "Boss Chen estimates that the Japanese army will conduct a large-scale raid on our Eighth Route Army from March to June."

"The North China Front Army dare not sweep up the Eighth Route Army in Northwest Shanxi and Southeast Shanxi, but it will sweep down the Brother Eighth Route Army units in other military regions."

"Although the fraternal troops in other military regions have strengthened their artillery firepower and have more ammunition than before, they are definitely not the opponents of the Japanese army."

"If the devils are allowed to launch a large-scale raid, the brothers' military region will inevitably suffer heavy losses."

Zhao Gang smiled slightly: "So, you deliberately asked Wang Dehou to issue a report to the compatriots all over the country and the Japanese invaders, in order to attract devils to attack our Xinyi regiment?"

As expected by Zhao Gang, as soon as the telegram was sent out, the whole country erupted in a short time.

Li Yunlong's fame and reputation even surpassed that of Xue Yue.

After all, General Xue didn't kill so many devil generals.

On the other side of the Japanese army, the locusts were furious, and they had already uttered harsh words to eliminate Li Yunlong and Xinyituan at all costs.

"That's right!" The corners of Li Yunlong's mouth turned up, with no panic on his face, "The more devils come to Northwest Shanxi to attack us, the more money we will make."

Zhao Gang looked at Li Yunlong with a look of admiration in his eyes and expression.

No matter what Li Yunlong thinks, his strategy to make the Japanese army have to attack the Xinyi Regiment in Northwest Shanxi can be said to be quite clever.

This is a conspiracy, so the devils had to attack the new regiment.

Unless the devils don't even want their face, and the devils have always been vengeful, and they can even give up their face for the sake of face. In order to avenge the 16 generals, there is a high probability that they will send out a large army to attack Northwest Shanxi.

This kid, Li Yunlong, already possesses strategic thinking.

Zhao Gang secretly sighed.

Li Yunlong said again: "When the 1st Division is finished and the anti-sweeping operation from March to June is over, it will be our Eighth Route Army's turn to counterattack..."

"When the time comes, hehe..."

Li Yunlong smiled with killing intent.

In addition to accumulating actual combat experience for the recruits, Li Yunlong also had to accumulate actual combat experience for the artillerymen of the infantry battalions.

The mountain artillery company under the jurisdiction of each infantry battalion is equipped with 12 mountain artillery, and each mountain artillery is equipped with an artillery squad. Since there are not many artillerymen with actual combat experience, only the squad leader and deputy squad leader of each artillery squad have actual combat experience. A recruit, or a cadet fresh out of artillery school.

In a word, actual combat is the best training, learn to fight while fighting.

Zhao Gang asked: "We are fighting the 1st Division at this time, are you not afraid of reinforcements from the Mongolian Army and the [-]st Army?"

"What are you afraid of?" Li Yunlong was confident, "If you are afraid of this and that, why fight a war? Just go home and take care of your children."

"I'm not afraid of war." Zhao Gang explained, "Didn't you analyze it last time? If we attack the 26th Division stationed in Datong, the whole of North China will be a mess. The 1st Division is more precious than the 26th Division. There are many, and the Japanese army in the entire North China will have to reinforce it by then."

Li Yunlong said: "At that time, I was really worried that the North China Front Army would be a mess, but now the main force of our three regiments in Northwest Shanxi has 8 people in total, all of which are equipped with American equipment. I am really not afraid that the entire North China will be a mess. A pot of porridge is ready, then we will surely make a fortune!"

Zhao Gang nodded, and said: "That's okay, you, Chief of Staff Wang and Battalion Commander Zhang, formulate a battle plan as soon as possible, and attack the 1st Division sooner rather than later."

At this moment, a telegraph soldier walked in with a telegram in his hand.

The telegraph soldier snapped a military salute and said, "Reporting to the head of the regiment and the political commissar, the headquarters is calling."

Zhao Gang took the telegram and read it, and the telegraph soldier turned and left quickly.

After reading the telegram, Zhao Gang said: "The head of the headquarters ordered us to go to Woniu Mountain in Xingxian County, the junction of Luliang Mountain and Northwest Shanxi in four days, and use 5000 American infantry equipment to exchange skilled workers with the Jinsui Army. A base number of shells will be dispatched from the headquarters."

Li Yunlong nodded, he had already prepared the American equipment for 5000 people.

This is a new regiment of spare weapons and ammunition, just American equipment for 5000 people.

After trading with Ding Wei and Kong Jie, Li Yunlong only had a few mountain cannons as backup weapons, so the 12 mountain cannons came from the headquarters.

After all, the headquarters has just made a fortune, so these 12 mountain cannons are nothing to the headquarters.

Zhao Gang worried: "Old Li, Yan Xishan won't play any tricks, will he?"

"Yan Laoxi, how dare he?" Li Yunlong snorted coldly, "If he dares to play tricks, let's see if I will destroy his Jinsui army without troops."

Although it is now the anti-Japanese national united front, Li Yunlong has always guarded against the national army.

Similarly, the national army is also defending against the communist army, and both sides do not fully trust each other.

Today's new regiment is really capable of destroying the Jinsui army, let alone the new second regiment and the independent regiment, which are under Li Yunlong's command and dispatch at any time.

At the beginning, the 21st Brigade of the Fifth Division of the Japanese Army defeated more than [-] divisions of the Jinsui Army and the Central Army.

At present, the strength of the Jinsui Army is only a dozen divisions, 8 to [-].

The current Xinyi Regiment is much stronger than the entire Fifth Division at the beginning. Isn't it easy to deal with the Jinsui Army?

Nominally Li Yunlong's troops were under the command of Yan Xishan, but that was only in name.

At this moment, the telegraph soldier came in with another telegram, saluted a standard military salute and said:

"Report to the head of the delegation, the political commissar, Boss Chen's secret message."

"Telegram me."

Li Yunlong's eyes flashed, he stood up from the bench, took the telegram from the telegraph soldier, and the telegraph soldier turned and left quickly.

For Li Yunlong, Boss Chen's telegram is obviously more important than the telegram from the headquarters.

After all, the telegram from the headquarters may be a telegram for robbery, while the telegram from Boss Chen is likely to be a telegram to make Li Yunlong rich.

"This Yan Laoxi is really fucking playing tricks on us."

After reading the telegram sent by Boss Chen, Li Yunlong couldn't help but fix his eyes.

"Old Li, what happened?"

Zhao Gang was startled suddenly, seeing Li Yunlong like this, it seemed that he wanted to make a move.

"Old Zhao, see for yourself!"

Li Yunlong handed the telegram to Zhao Gang.

Zhao Gang picked up the telegram and read it. The contents of the telegram were clearly the information that Yan Xishan ordered the military commanders and Japanese spies to be placed among the technicians of the arsenal.

Even Boss Chen sent the list of the general's spies and Japanese spies by telegram.

A total of 12 secret agents and spies, 6 military commanders and [-] Japanese spies.

"This Yan Laoxi!"

Even the good-tempered Zhao Gang couldn't help being a little angry when he saw this information.

Neither Li Yunlong nor Zhao Gang doubted the authenticity of the information sent by Boss Chen.

If there is no such information from Boss Chen, let these secret agents and spies sneak into the Shanxi Northwest Armory, and it is very likely to cause incalculable losses to the Armory!
After a pause, Zhao Gang sneered, "Yan Laoxi's move to kill people with a knife is quite clever."

Yan Xishan's own spies were anxious to intervene. Even if it turned out later that the military commander and Japanese army spies were caught, they were not Yan Laoxi's people, and had nothing to do with the Jinsui Army.

Because the military command and the Japanese army, even more than Yan Xishan, did not want the Eighth Route Army in Northwest Shanxi to set up arsenals.

"People don't attack me, I don't attack others, if people attack me, I will attack others."

Li Yunlong's murderous aura dissipated: "This time, we must teach Yan Laoxi a lesson!"

Zhao Gang said: "Old Li, don't be impulsive. Let's take a long-term view on this matter. If it goes wrong, Yan Laoxi will instead accuse you of destroying the United Front of the National Anti-Japanese War, which is enough for you to drink a pot."

"Don't worry." Li Yunlong said confidently, "I have a measure!"
