My client Li Yunlong

Chapter 69 Scored twice and ambushed the Japanese squadron again!

"Could it be that."

"The God of Wealth behind Li Yunlong gives him a batch of weapons and ammunition every month?"

A thought flashed through the brigade commander's mind.

But it was quickly suppressed.

I can't see anything at all.

If next month, Li Yunlong still gives away all the equipment, weapons and ammunition that not only him, but even the boss would drool over, then it will be very possible.

"How much food has Li Yunlong produced in the past ten days?"

the brigade commander suddenly asked.

Thanks to the strict material statistics system formulated by system experts, the brigade headquarters also required each unit to record the consumption of food and ammunition in detail. The brigade chief of staff quickly gave the answer:
"Two thousand tons."

"Two thousand tons!"

The brigade commander took a breath:
"What was the grain output of the three counties last year?"

Taiyue Military Region has three main counties, Wuxiang County, Liao County and Yu County.

"There are no detailed statistics, but it is estimated to be about 85 dan, which is only one-half of the amount before the war."

"85 million stone."

The brigade commander said:
"When converted, it's [-] tons."

Fifty-one thousand tons of grain sounds like a lot, but due to the Japanese aggressively driving away people near the Zhengtai Line, the total population of the three counties and the surrounding villages and towns exceeded 50.

Only one hundred kilograms per person.

Even if divided evenly, this amount of food is simply not enough to feed 40 people.

What's more, a large part of the food is actually in the hands of the devils, big landowners, and traitors. If it really reaches the hands of the people, it would be very good if there are [-] kilograms per capita.

Poor little.

People in the three counties of the Taiyue Military Region are in a state of severe hunger.

In fact, based on the population size and grain output of the three counties, 15 tons of grain would be barely enough to alleviate the famine in the three counties and significantly reduce the number of people dying of starvation without driving away the Japanese.

This is still Xiaoxiaosan County.

The situation in more than 100 counties in Shanxi is similar to that of the three counties. Not only the grain output has dropped sharply, but also been plundered by the Japanese. More than 900 million people are trapped in severe food shortages.

If we want to alleviate the famine, we will need at least more than 800 million tons of grain.

Because not only staple food, but also vegetable production has come to a standstill, many victims have to eat weeds, tree roots, and even soil to satisfy their hunger.

"The training of the [-] militiamen has already begun?"

The Brigadier continued to ask.

According to the independent regiment's suggestion, the Taiyue base area plans to conduct militarized training for all militiamen.

Taking into account the current lack of manpower and the inability to extend it to the entire base area, the Independent Regiment and the 38th Regiment are first responsible for organizing the militia units around Yang Village and Shang Village as a pilot.

The brigade headquarters dispatched more than 100 political workers to carry out ideological education for the militia troops, and the training was organized by two regiments.

"It has already begun."

The brigade chief of staff said:

"Li Yunlong and Wucheng each sent people and political workers sent by the brigade headquarters to form a militia training group, divided into twenty groups, organized training in various places, and formulated a set of training plans and training objectives, and also added incentives measure."

"The militia soldiers who participate in the training can have one lunch or dinner every day, with an average of two kilograms of grain per person. If they pass the training, they can also receive a subsidy of two kilograms of grain every day."

Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang's plan was to subsidize two kilograms of grain for each militiaman, but because they applied for [-] tons per month, the amount was increased to a maximum of two kilograms per person per day.

"The militia fighters who participated in the training were very enthusiastic, and the total number of people exceeded our expectations. According to the documents submitted by Zhao Gang, more than 5000 people have participated."

“The motivation for training is also very high!”

"hiss··"

The brigade commander had recently been busy ambushing the Japanese Dahe Squadron and had not paid attention to the militia training. Now that he heard about the militia training, he breathed out again:

"Each person eats two kilograms of grain every day, and is he rewarded with two kilograms?"

"A scale of 5000 people."

Two kilograms of grain a day, which is a staple food such as white flour or cornmeal, is equivalent to one meal a day, which can last a whole day.And through training, you can also get two kilograms of staple food.

The family has enough food for the day.

Can the militia soldiers not actively participate?

It’s understandable that 5000 people participated in the training in nine days.

But in this way, if everyone is qualified, then thirty tons of food will be consumed every day. Counting the cooking staff, political workers who manage organizational propaganda, and training soldiers, almost forty tons of food are consumed every day.

Forty tons per day!
This is still 5000 people.

If the ultimate goal is to have all 150 militiamen in the Taiyue Military Region participate in training, that would be a daily consumption of [-] tons of food, which is [-] tons per month!

Including the amount given to all the troops in the brigade, it would cost at least [-] tons a month.

"hiss··"

The brigade commander took another breath.

Fifty-five hundred tons of grain every month!
The quantity is generally not much, but this is Jin territory, the mainland of the Republic of China. It can transport [-] tons of grain in without being discovered by the Japanese. This method...
"This God of Wealth is probably on the same level as the Japanese."

The brigade commander speculated.

"I'm afraid so."

The brigade chief of staff also nodded in agreement.

Whether it is more than 5000 tons of food supplies, the seven experts who came to the independent regiment, and the batch of sophisticated weapons and equipment, all prove that the God of Wealth behind Li Yunlong has great hands and eyes.

Moreover, once this kind of training continues, in half a year, the Taiyue Military Region will probably be able to draw out [-] reserve soldiers with certain military capabilities, discipline, and faith at one time.

"Do you want to give some of this batch of weapons to Ding Wei?"

The brigade chief of staff asked: "After all, Ding Wei's new regiment is the main force in this ambush."

"Do not."

The brigade commander shook his head:

"I have other uses for these weapons."

"Let's let the 38th Regiment be the main force in this ambush first."

In an ambush battle, whoever has the strongest firepower and combat effectiveness will be the main offensive force. This has always been a rule.

"Ding Wei is afraid he will jump up."

the brigade chief of staff said with a smile.

"It's ok."

The brigade commander smiled and said:

"It's definitely not me he hates."

"Hahaha···"

The brigade chief of staff suddenly laughed out loud.

···
"Let the 38th Regiment be the main force?"

At the combat meeting, Ding Wei almost jumped up when he heard the brigade headquarters' decision.

"Why?"

No main force group wants others to be the main force, not to mention that the 38th Regiment and Wucheng were both led by Ding Wei.

"Who makes you less powerful than the 38th Regiment?"

The brigade chief of staff spread his hands:

"The current 38th Regiment has six 60mm mortars, two thousand rounds of 60mm mortar shells, 54 grenade launchers, and [-] rounds of grenade launchers."

"Three battalions, each class is uniformly Czech."

"Over three hundred twenty-shot rifles."

"The regiment headquarters has more than [-] rounds of ammunition in stock."

"..."

Hearing these words, Ding Wei was stunned.

"Li Yunlong is raised on dog food!"

Unable to hold it back, Ding Wei scolded him directly at the brigade headquarters.

The brigade chief of staff almost burst into laughter.

Although he is also the leader now, both of them are his old bosses. Wu Cheng can only watch his nose and heart, and pretend that he does not exist.

···
Although Captain Ding was very unhappy.

But the main ambush task still fell on the 38th Regiment.

Who makes his own firepower inferior to others?
Who told Li Yunlong, an old comrade in arms, to deliberately turn his elbows outward?
Ding Wei also honestly accepted the arrangement from his superiors and led a new regiment to set up an ambush on both wings.

Considering that the Japs will not be as careless as last time, and that more troops are participating in the battle, a total of 300 people, the ratio of our army to the Japs is more than [-] to one.

Therefore, for this ambush battle, the battlefield was chosen on an open ground.

The terrain is more open than Xingzigou where the Independent Regiment ambushed Hejin Squadron, but it is also a semi-canyon terrain with mountains on both sides.

In fact, this is also the common terrain of Jindi Highway.

On the road between He County and Liao County.

The 38th Regiment built eleven fire positions on both sides of the road, including two artillery positions, and laid mines modified from German-made hand grenades on the road.

The new group blocked the gap in the front and back to form an encirclement.

On the evening of NO.30, a squadron of Japs came from the direction of Yangquan and Hexian. At the front was a sharp knife group of ten Japs, and more than a kilometer behind was a large Japs force of more than 100 people.

There are also a small number of security troops spread out on both wings.

This time the Japanese were obviously honest. The main body of the brigade, which consisted of more than 130 people, formed a marching array of more than 500 meters in front and rear, and spread out widely.

With such a formation, even with the original firepower of the independent regiment, it would be difficult to eliminate one third of them at once.

However, this time, what was ambushed were actually two main regiments with more than 3000 troops.

After the Japanese sharp knife group passed, most of the Japanese finally entered the encirclement. Following Wu Cheng's order, the eleven positions opened fire in unison, pouring intensive firepower on the Japanese on the road.

Although the firepower was not as good as the first and second battalions of the Independent Regiment, and the Japs were marching in skirmish formations, and their positions were far away from the Japs formation, the first round of firepower still killed one-fifth of the Japs.

Subsequently, the 38th Regiment began to advance steadily and gradually, tightening the encirclement while cutting off the Japanese on the road.

Facing an ambush of the enemy with superior troops and superior firepower, in just 15 minutes, the remaining forces of the Dahe Squadron were cut in half, making it impossible to assemble the troops.

If we cannot assemble our troops, we will not be able to concentrate our efforts to break through.
As a last resort, the Japanese commander Captain Dahe could only order the front and rear to break out along the highway.

The 38th Regiment ignored the small group of Japanese who broke through to the rear of the road, and focused on concentrating its forces to surround the more than 80 Japanese in the front, and finally gradually annihilated them with superior strength and firepower.

The Japanese who broke through to the rear of the highway, towards He County, were surrounded by Ding Wei's team.

Captain Ding was in a very bad mood, but he had no way to trouble Li Yunlong now, so he took it out on the Japanese. He did not let go of any of the more than 40 Japanese.

The battle went very smoothly and ended in just over an hour.

Among them, there were 150 people in the Dahe Squadron, only ten Japanese from the Sharp Sword Group escaped, and the main force of the remaining 140 squadrons was completely wiped out.

The 38th Regiment and the New Regiment suffered only 41 casualties, including [-] casualties, [-] seriously wounded, and [-] lightly wounded.

Even with one's own casualties and the enemy's death, it was still a three to one victory.

After cleaning up the battlefield, the New Regiment and the 38th Regiment took the spoils and withdrew to the base area.
