Liang Jian: Commander, save some for me

"You're right, aren't they just a few howitzers? Sooner or later, my entire howitzer regiment will come out." Li Yunlong said with high spirits.

A few howitzers are just a small thing, but if you want to do it, get a big one. If the whole howitzer regiment comes out, then it is called a face.

After Zhao Gang heard this, he was speechless for a moment. Is the howitzer regiment so easy to organize? The Eighth Route Army can't even form a howitzer company now, let alone a howitzer regiment.

"Old Zhao, go and bring Lao Qian and Lao Zhong over for a meeting." Li Yunlong ordered.

This time it was an operation against the Beishan Mine, and it was necessary for both of them to participate together.

"Okay." Zhao Gang was about to turn around and leave, but stopped again.

"What's wrong?! Is there anything else?!" Li Yunlong became confused.

"Captain, there is something I need to tell you." Zhao Gang looked serious.

"Say." Li Yunlong felt in his heart that Zhao Gang was planning to preach to him? !

"Captain, I think that as the commander of the new regiment, you should sit in the rear and not rush forward with the soldiers. You are not a soldier after all." Zhao Gang said seriously.

As a commander, you should lead the overall situation, rather than charging to the front like ordinary soldiers.

"Damn it, what nonsense are you talking about? My soldiers are fighting the enemy desperately, but I am watching from behind. Am I worthy of being their leader?" Li Yunlong said directly.

He couldn't do such a thing while watching the soldiers charging forward and fighting bloody battles while hiding to see what was going on.

"Besides, I can also boost morale by following the soldiers. Otherwise, how can I lead them to win the battle." Li Yunlong continued.

"What you said does make sense, but have you ever thought that if you are accidentally killed by the enemy, it will also lower the morale of the soldiers.

They watched their regiment leader die in front of them. What a blow it would be to them. By then, the battle they should have won may have been lost! "Zhao Gang said.

The commander and the soldiers fighting together can indeed boost morale, but on the contrary, once something happens to the commander, it will also affect morale.

"Then according to what you say, I should watch them fight?! Watch them die?!" Li Yunlong knew that what Zhao Gang said was reasonable, but he was still a little dissatisfied.

"That's not what I mean. What I mean is that the commander should, as a last resort, try to command from the rear.

As long as you are safe, it can also increase the morale of the soldiers, and they will feel at ease when they see you.

Unless the battle is at its most dangerous, don’t rush to the front.

Again, you are the commander. When the troops are in danger, you should think more about how to lead the troops to break out, rather than rushing to the front. "Zhao Gang explained.

The commander of a unit is very important. He must be safe, and staying behind does not mean that it will affect the morale of the soldiers, but it will make the soldiers feel that the battle can be won.

Unwinnable battles can be won.

Because the commander sat calmly and calmly at the rear, the soldiers would not be afraid. Only if the commander followed the soldiers to the front from the beginning would it have an impact.

Especially if the commander dies in front of the soldiers, it will have an even greater impact on morale.

"Damn it, I, Li Yunlong, am not a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death. If I die, won't I still have old money and old Zhong?" Li Yunlong said.

If he unfortunately dies, the remaining Lao Qian and Lao Zhong will also be able to lead the new group in action, and it's not like they can't do it without him.

"No, why don't you understand what I said." Zhao Gang said helplessly. He had already explained it clearly, but Li Yunlong felt that he couldn't understand what he meant.

"Old Zhao, actually I know what you mean." Li Yunlong said. He also became a regiment leader from a soldier and has experienced many wars.

"But don't forget, the brigade commander often leads the charge. He is not a weak scholar. He still cuts off the heads of Japanese soldiers with a knife.
Our brigade commander is so fierce, and I am the soldier he led. If we retreat to the rear during the battle, it will not be a disgrace to the brigade commander. "Li Yunlong continued.

The brigade commander often led his troops to charge, and he was very skilled, killing many enemies with his hands.

Zhao Gang was silent. He had naturally heard of the reputation of the brigade commander. It was said that in previous wars, he personally led the troops to fight the enemy and killed many enemies. He was a true man of both civil and military skills.

"Okay, don't talk about this. Go and ask Lao Zhong and Lao Qian to come over. We'll prepare for dinner as soon as the meeting is over." Li Yunlong didn't want to argue with Zhao Gang on this issue.

After all, Zhao Gang has just arrived and doesn't know what's going on with the new group.

"Okay." Zhao Gang nodded, then turned and left.

After Zhao Gang left, Li Yunlong was also thinking about Zhao Gang's words. However, he still did not intend to sit in the rear. Since it was a war, he would kill the enemy with the soldiers.

If Xinyi Tuan is a pile of dry firewood, then Li Yunlong is the spark that can ignite the dry firewood.

After waiting for a few minutes, Zhao Gang came in with Staff Officer Zhong and Deputy Commander Qian.

"Captain, what's going on with that boy Li Jin? Didn't he talk about attacking the Heng Quarry? Now he's planning on targeting the Beishan Mine?!" Deputy Commander Qian said as soon as he came in. He pulled out a chair and sat down. .

On the way here, Zhao Gang had already told them that Li Jin was going to attack the Beishan Mine.

"This guy Li Jin is training soldiers. I guess he has already exposed the soldiers to blood. Now he plans to do some actual combat to increase the practical experience of the new soldiers." Li Yunlong said.

If he guessed correctly, Li Jin might have been leading troops to suppress bandits and training, and had already had his soldiers kill the bandits, so he thought of attacking the Beishan Mine before attacking the Heng Quarry.

"He is quite fast. He has already started training not long after he returned. It's okay." Staff Officer Zhong praised.

Not long after Li Jin returned to Taiyuan, he had already started training troops, and the efficiency was very good.

"So, in the past few days, we have to send people to figure out the situation at Beishan Mine." Li Yunlong said.

Although the Beishan Mine can definitely be conquered, we still need to understand the situation there to avoid capsizing the ship in the gutter.

"Yeah." The two nodded.

"Speaking of which, Captain, do you think the Japanese transfer station we fought earlier will be replenished with supplies now?!" Deputy Captain Qian said.

If supplies come to the Japanese supply transfer station again, they can just grab the supplies along the way.

"I guess the Japanese no longer dare to move to that location. They may have changed places, or sent more soldiers to guard them." Staff Officer Zhong guessed.

In this case, it would be meaningless to attack the enemy transit station. It would be better to have someone ambush you halfway when attacking the Beishan Mine, and then annihilate the enemy.

"I don't know. However, intelligence personnel can conduct more investigations to find out whether the Japanese still use it as a transit station." Li Yunlong said.Ever since Yuanhe Bridge was blown up, he had not sent anyone to pay attention to the Japs' information over there. After all, he had already grabbed the Japs' supplies and burned down the transfer station.

In a short period of time, no new supplies will be shipped to that transfer station, so there is no need to send people to explore the situation there.

"It's better to investigate more carefully." Deputy Commander Qian said. It is still necessary to seize some supplies. Although we have obtained a lot of supplies recently, it is still a bit difficult to rely on these supplies to feed the entire Eighth Route Army. difficult.

At most, it would just make the development of the Eighth Route Army a little faster.

"Then it's settled. In five days, we will find out the situation of the Japanese around the Beishan Mine." Li Yunlong said directly. If you want to do something, hurry up. It's not his style to wait and see.

"Yes!" The two nodded.

Zhao Gang remained silent on the sidelines.

"Old Zhao, if you have any opinions, you can mention them. We are all our own people, so there is no need to be reserved." Li Yunlong looked at Zhao Gang and said.

"I don't have any objections. You have already considered everything." Zhao Gang shook his head. Li Yunlong had arranged everything and he didn't think there was any problem.

"Okay, then it's settled." Seeing that Zhao Gang had nothing else to say, Li Yunlong made the decision directly!
Then several people went to have a meal together. After the meal, Li Yunlong and Deputy Captain Qian planned to watch the training of the Gray Wolf team. In fact, Li Yunlong wanted to see how Monk Wei was doing in training.

He was very optimistic about the guard Monk Wei.

Zhao Gang was reading documents in the Political Department of the Youth League. He probably already understood the situation of the New Youth League, but his political and ideological work had not yet started.

As for Staff Officer Zhong, he ordered the intelligence personnel to find out the situation in the Beishan Mine, how many Japs were in the mine, and the direction in which the Japs could support them.

.........

Ten minutes later, Li Yunlong and Deputy Commander Qian arrived at the entrance of the Gray Wolf Team's training ground.

At this time, the Gray Wolf team was practicing their ability to resist beatings. The soldiers were shirtless, working in pairs, and beating each other with sticks.

Monk Wei was sparring with Shi Yan. I have to say that the tendons on Monk Wei's body looked really good, and of course, Shi Yan's was not bad either.

"Captain, the regimental commander and the deputy commander are here." A soldier hurried over to report.

Hearing this, Shi Yan put down the stick in his hand and looked at the door. It was indeed the captain and deputy captain who had arrived.

"Monk Wei, you practice by yourself, I'll go see the group leader!" Shi Yan quickly threw the stick to Monk Wei and ran towards Li Yunlong and Deputy Captain Qian.

After Monk Wei took the stick, he started to hit himself with the stick.

"Captain, deputy commander!" Shi Yan came to Li Yunlong and Deputy Commander Qian and saluted.

"Well, the soldiers are not lazy in training, right?" Li Yunlong nodded and said.

"Captain, don't worry, no one dares to be lazy in front of me." Shi Yan said very seriously, if anyone dared to be lazy in front of his eyes, he would not be polite!

"That's fine. By the way, how is Monk Wei's training going? He's not unable to keep up with the training, right?!" Li Yunlong said.

"He was a little uncomfortable on the first day, but he adapted quickly. Now, except for his marksmanship and coordination, his other training results are very good." Shi Yan said.

Monk Wei is still very powerful. At first, he thought that the opponent would not be able to keep up with the training. Although the opponent was really good at fighting, maybe fighting did not mean that he had good endurance.

But unexpectedly, Monk Wei barely kept up with the training from the beginning, and adapted directly the next day. This growth rate is really amazing, which shows that the opponent is still very powerful.

"After all, he has just returned to secular life and joined us, so it is normal to have problems with his marksmanship and coordination." Li Yunlong said.

Especially guns. Monk Wei had never touched a gun before, but he only touched a gun now that he joined.

"Captain, this Monk Wei is very good at stabbing. He actually defeated one against seven. I feel that he is more powerful than the soldiers of the battle company." Shi Yan spoke in a somewhat excited tone.

Apart from anything else, Monk Wei's combat prowess has already convinced the members of the Gray Wolf Team. After all, the strong are respected.

Monk Wei proved it to them with his strength.

"Haha, really." Li Yunlong felt very happy after hearing this. He said that he had not misjudged the monk Wei, and he was not disappointed.

If the soldiers of the special operations company faced off against the soldiers of the Gray Wolf squad, it would be quite difficult to defeat one against seven. At most, it would be one against three or one against two. To achieve one against seven, I am afraid that in the special operations company, it would be The soldiers of the reconnaissance squad could barely do it.

After all, the soldiers in the reconnaissance squad are all composed of the strongest soldiers in the special operations company, so their combat effectiveness is naturally very strong!
"Captain, Monk Wei is proficient in spears. Why don't you get this kid a spear, so that he can better utilize his careful fighting ability." Shi Yan continued, and even more suggested later on.

Monk Wei told him that he was proficient in many martial arts, but among them, Monk Wei was most powerful in marksmanship.

"If that's the case, it's not that we can't get it for him. You can do it." Li Yunlong nodded and said.

"Okay, then I'll do it for Monk Wei tomorrow." Shi Yan said with a smile. The group leader had already agreed to this, so he would do it directly.

"By the way, you recently asked Monk Wei to practice more marksmanship and give him more batches of bullets. It is best to let him reach one-third of your level within a month." Li Yunlong warned!

As for cooperation, Li Yunlong doesn't plan to let Monk Wei practice more at this moment, so he asks Monk Wei to practice more marksmanship.

After all, the Heng Quarry was about to be attacked, so Li Yunlong planned to let Monk Wei participate in actual combat to gain some practical experience.

"Captain, you can just practice marksmanship. Don't you need to practice other aspects now?!" Shi Yan said in a daze.

"Well, we are going to the Daheng Quarry in Taiyuan to let Monk Wei practice his marksmanship more. Then we can participate." Li Yunlong nodded and then told Shi Yan what happened.

"What?! We are going to Taiyuan to cause trouble?!" Shi Yan's eyes widened, wondering if the leader was too courageous to rush to Taiyuan to cause trouble.

You must know that that is the base camp of the devils here, and many people can be sent to encircle and suppress them at will.

"What, you're not afraid?" Li Yunlong turned on the taunting mode, thinking that Shi Yan was already afraid.

"Who is afraid? It's just the little Taiyuan, isn't it? As long as the regiment leader gives the order, let alone attack Taiyuan, I will be happy even if I am used as a shield." Shi Yan said.

What does he have to be afraid of? He is a veteran after all. If someone saw him, they would think that Shi Yan was afraid of the kid and didn't dare to trouble him. Wouldn't it be a loss of face?
