Chapter 86 The Secret Service Team in Action
"Staff Officer Fang, do you think there is a possibility that the troops active in Heyuan are those of Li Yunlong?" Chu Yunfei pondered for a while and then said to the other party.

"How is this possible? Commander, this is unbelievable. Heyuan is hundreds of miles away from Yangcun. How could Li Yunlong go to such a far place instead of going there?" Fang Ligong's head shook like a rattle.

"The distribution of territory for the Eighth Route Army is very particular. The Independent Regiment is in Yangcun, so it is basically impossible for them to run to Heyuan, which is more than a hundred miles away, to carry out activities at the same time. This is against the rules."

Although Chu Yunfei accidentally guessed the truth, he was unable to confirm it.

Just like Fang Ligong said, each team has its own range of activities and they don't run around randomly. Otherwise, with so many soldiers, the problem of food alone would drag down the entire team.

Therefore, developing operations across large regions is somewhat unbelievable in this era. Unless the Eighth Route Army launched a special operation, what is there in Heyuan, the most marginalized city with a radius of hundreds of miles, that is worth the Eighth Route Army's attention? Why should they focus on attacking here?
"Is there any information about the gathering of troops near Heyuan County?" Chu Yunfei stared at the map, and suddenly a bold idea came to his mind. "Maybe the Eighth Route Army wants to take over Heyuan County. Now they are constantly cutting off the wings of Heyuan County. If so, the reinforcements from Quanyang to Heyuan will take at least two or three days to arrive. If they really attack here, Heyuan will not be able to stop the Eighth Route Army with heavy artillery. After all, this is the weakest defense of the Japanese within hundreds of miles."

After Chu Yunfei silently calculated the matter in his mind, he shook his head and denied it.

You have to know that during this period, the Japanese forces were still extremely large. Shinozuka Yoshio was in Shanxi and drove Yan Laoxi and the Eighth Route Army to the mountainous areas. Losing a county town was a big failure that they would never tolerate, and they had to do everything they could to take it back!

Therefore, it might not be a problem for the Eighth Route Army to capture the county town, but it is unlikely to be accomplished without losing a lot of troops. After losing it, it would be a big problem for them to withstand the crazy counterattack of the Japanese invaders.

Therefore, even a super regiment like the 358th Regiment, which had its own artillery battalion, was of no use. It was difficult to gain a foothold under the double blow of the Japanese bombing and ground attack.

This is also why, in the past one or two years, Ren Zhong has never considered the possibility of building a factory in the city for the independent regiment.

Not only will he fail to hold on, but he will also expose his own strength. This is why Ren Zhong is determined not to do business at a loss.

Chu Yunfei was puzzled, while on the other side, Li Yunlong became more and more enthusiastic.

It feels so good to command these two small troops under his command to carry out attacks during the day and at night. The team is of high quality and no one is a drag. Whether it is a forced march or a battle, Lao Li can do it with ease.

This small sniper team of 30 people has increasingly better marksmanship and is more lethal to the Japanese than any company previously commanded by Lao Li!
This is not an exaggeration. If the elite troops of the previous company could kill one Japanese soldier with every 10 shots, this squad can kill one Japanese soldier with every 2 shots at most!
A pervert like Wang Xikui can basically kill one person with one shot and rarely miss!
Now they are not competing in the 2-meter headshot competition, but choose the 400-meter headshot competition or the 300-meter aiming at the firing hole on the turret to kill the machine gunner, which is a high-intensity challenge.

Because a 200-meter headshot is the most basic skill for every sniper, and they almost never miss.

This highly efficient tactic, coupled with the Flying Thunder Cannon team's increasingly skilled distance measurement techniques, has rapidly improved the Flying Thunder Cannon's hit rate, achieving a qualitative leap from 30 percent to 60 to 70 percent.

There were not enough artillery towers around Heyuan County, so Li Yunlong took them for a run around Heyuan and completely drove Ichiro Hirata into autism!

All the strength was finally concentrated back to Heyuan County to hold it tightly, and repeated telegrams were sent requesting tactical guidance.

Even though the military police and the puppet army plainclothes team still did not get any valuable intelligence, they suffered a lot in front of the growing armed work team and lost dozens of members. Zhang Dabiao dispersed the company into groups of three or five and developed more than 20 villages. In these villages, the fewest developed seven or eight militiamen, and the most could form a squad.

Together with the two and a half district squadrons transformed from captured puppet soldiers, in just one month, Zhang Dabiao's company quickly became a regular army battalion of nearly a battalion, and the guerrilla force had more than two companies.

If Ren Zhong had not asked them to keep a low profile, Zhang Dabiao would have been unable to resist raising the banner of the independent regiment and starting to recruit soldiers in Heyuan.

After they destroyed the stronghold here, there were basically no more obstacles in the mountains outside the city that would hinder their development.

However, after developing on the ground, Zhang Dabiao and his team realized that there was indeed no foundation for major development in Heyuan. The local people were even poorer than those in Yangcun. At least 90 out of a hundred households had no surplus food. If more teams were recruited, Zhang Dabiao would not be able to solve the problem of food alone.

Now, Zhang Dabiao had to find a way to transport food for hundreds of people from the regiment headquarters. If Ren Zhong had not prepared a baggage transport team composed of horses seized from the cavalry battalion for them in advance, the food problem would have been difficult for them.

However, this was not a long-term solution. Compared to the local population of the base, there were too many people without jobs, and it was impossible to buy enough food in the towns near the base. This was also the most direct reason why the headquarters could not station too many troops.

Now, apart from a special forces regiment, there are only two regiments guarding the headquarters command center: the New 1st Regiment and the Independent Regiment. Ren Zhongzai knows that the Independent Regiment is hiding in Yangcun and will never have a chance of major development.

In the original time and space, the independent regiment developed into a super large group with a scale of tens of thousands of people. It was after breaking out that it flourished and developed itself in the wider enemy rear.

Now there is certainly no need to copy that model out of necessity, but to take the initiative to expand outward little by little.

Heyuan was the testing ground for the first wave of development.

Here, Ren Zhong not only has to consider the construction of the arsenal for the independent regiment, but also has to take into account the production and development of other aspects of people's livelihood, especially food production. After all, everyone cannot fight on an empty stomach.

Ren Zhong returned from the headquarters with instructions, and Li Yunlong and his team also returned exhausted after completing their mission.

After listening to Li Yunlong's vivid description of the guerrilla warfare in Heyuan, Ren Zhong interrupted Li's boasting and said, "Lao Li, spring ploughing has begun. From today on, the troops will switch to spring ploughing mode. We need to plant a large number of high-yield crops and vigorously carry out mass production campaigns near Yangcun and the newly consolidated fortress village in Heyuan to solve our food problem through self-reliance."

Li Yunlong was stunned and looked at Kong Jie, convinced that he was also confused.

"Brother Ren, you tell us what to do and we'll do it!" Although Lao Li didn't understand, it didn't stop him from being a qualified tool and he agreed immediately.
