Bright Sword: I took Li Yunlong to work in military industry

"Yes, Commander, I also heard that the Liangshan Special Forces of the Independent Regiment did not suffer any major casualties this time. There are even rumors that they did not have a single serious injury.

The lightly wounded soldiers can return to the team after recovery in a dozen days.

In my opinion, not to mention that their team suffered little damage, even if they were completely wiped out, it would be worth it for such a great victory."

Fang Ligong said seriously.

“Brother Ligong, I agree with your statement about the battle losses, but I think the independent regiment may not consider the issue from this perspective.

We have been in the military for many years and we all know that a merciful army cannot be commanded. Sometimes when an order is given, we know that it will cost lives.

But that's how soldiers are, and that's how war is. When necessary, you have to die. This applies to you as the chief of staff and me as the regiment commander.

However, I think the independent regiment may not be considering this issue. From their action of sending out the cavalry company to attack the encirclement of the 16th Brigade of the Japanese, it can be seen that they will not abandon any of their comrades.

Put yourself in their shoes and think about it. If we were in such a team, to what extent would our combat effectiveness be raised?

I used to think that soldiers shouldn’t have political ideas, but now it seems that we are far worse than them.

Their military thinking is modern, while the thinking of our Shanxi-Suiyuan Army and even the National Army is pre-modern.

From this point of view, we are still far away.”

Chu Yunfei looked at the battle map in the distance and spoke for a long time with great earnestness. It was obvious that he had carefully analyzed this strong competitor and potential future enemy during this period of time.

Fang Ligong remained silent. He knew very well that what the regimental commander said was right. If the independent regiment was allowed to fight against the 358th Regiment of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army at this time, even if his regiment was a reinforced regiment, it would probably not be a match for the independent regiment.

"Brother Ligong, I heard that the independent regiment has also been expanded this time?"

“Yes, Commander, they absorbed the militia organizations known as the county battalions and district squads under the organizational system of the Eighth Route Army, expanded the organization by three battalions, and added a fourth battalion.

According to the information we have obtained previously, the number of people is already 5,000.”

"They are developing really fast. We can't catch up with their speed of increasing troops. By the way, when will the equipment that Liaoyuan Arsenal promised to customize for us arrive?"

Chu Yunfei put away his lonely mood, his eyes gradually became firm, and he knew the gap between them and the independent regiment, so he could better catch up.

"Reporting to the regiment commander, the initial 200 Type 56 submachine guns and 2 rounds of ammunition were delivered the day before yesterday, and they said another 200 Type submachine guns will be delivered the day after tomorrow."

Fang Ligong reported.

Chu Yunfei's pupils shrank when he heard this. It took three days to produce 200 Type 56 submachine guns, and it was very likely that the 200 guns allocated to him were only a part of the production capacity of Liaoyuan Arsenal in the past few days.

To see the big picture from the small, the production capacity of Liaoyuan Arsenal has reached an outrageous level.

......

Taiyuan.

Yoshio Shinozuka led all the senior officers of the Japanese North China Expeditionary Army to wait at the airport for Okamura Yasuji's special plane.

(In fact, at this time in history, the commander-in-chief of the Japanese North China Expeditionary Army was Tada Shun, but Okamura Yasuji was more famous, so his name was used.)

Yoshio Shinozuka looked at the plane that was getting bigger as it fell from the sky, with a look of worry on his face. Although he had been unstoppable against the National Army this year, he was defeated in the battles with the Eighth Route Army, especially the Independent Regiment, and he had no way to explain to General Ningji Okamura.

As the special plane landed, General Okamura Yasuji led his team down the gangway, followed by Lieutenant General Harada Yukichi, commander of the 35th Division, and Lieutenant General Tanaka Hisaichi, commander of the 21st Division.

As the commander of the 37st Army of the North China Expeditionary Army, Yoshio Shinozuka led a group of senior officers including Lieutenant General Ando Nijuzo, commander of the 41th Division, Lieutenant General Shimizu Nobuki, commander of the 36st Division, and Lieutenant General Iseki Jin of the th Division to welcome Okamura Neiji's inspection.

It can be said that it was a big pot gathering of the Japanese high-ranking officers in North China.

"General Okamura, Yoshio Shinozuka and his troops are here to welcome you. Please come and give us a speech."

The moment Yoshio Shinozuka saw Neiji Okamura, he immediately ran over in small steps, and after standing one meter away from Neiji Okamura, he bowed 90 degrees.

Such a humble attitude made it difficult for the originally furious Okamura Neiji to say anything. He just snorted lightly, and then led everyone into the car that Shinozuka Yoshio had prepared long ago.

"General, do you think you should go down and rest?"

"Go directly to the First Army Headquarters meeting room."

After saying this, Ningji Okamura closed his eyes without saying another word.

"Hai!"

Yoshio Shinozuka gently closed the car door, bent over to help Okamura Neiji start his car, then quickly got into a car behind and drove away following Okamura Neiji's car.

During the entire welcoming process, everyone on the First Army side of the North China Expeditionary Army held their breath and dared not make any loud noise, maintaining an extremely low profile.

On the contrary, the division commanders who came with Ningji Okamura were all arrogant, with a hint of disdain on their faces.

Everyone on the First Army side was a little indignant, but the performance of the entire Jin Locust Army during this period was really not good enough to mention, so they could only let these guys mock them.

Especially the commanders of the 16th Mixed Brigade, Wakamatsu Heiji, and the 4th Mixed Brigade, Kasahara Koizumi, who were at the end of the team, looked at the newly arrived division commanders with hatred, thinking, "I told you to be arrogant, but you'll be in trouble next!"

The two looked at each other, and the truest expectations in their hearts were self-evident.

They were looking forward to seeing these arrogant guys suffer a defeat on the battlefield in Jin. When that time came, it would be time to vent their anger for today.

Along the way, these Japanese officers from Jin were very low-key and basically didn't say a word.

Tanaka Kyuichi, the division commander who was transferred from Lu, was a troublemaker: "Alas, the empire values ​​Jin very much and sent such elite troops to garrison Jin.

I didn't expect the fight to turn out like this and the losses to be so heavy.

It must be that the imperial soldiers in Jin were too kind and couldn't bear to use heavy hands on these Eighth Route Army soldiers.

Alas, we are all soldiers of the empire, how can we be soft-hearted?"

ridicule!

An absolute travesty!

And it was an unusually weird mood that was difficult to maintain.

Yoshio Shinozuka, who was in the same car with him, turned pale when he heard this, but the situation was stronger than the person, so Yoshio Shinozuka could only suppress his inner anger and said nothing.

Shinozuka Yoshio just looked at Tanaka Hisaichi quietly, his anger in his heart could not be increased: "Boy, you will go to Jindi to stir the ladle next, you'd better remember your arrogant look today."

Tanaka Hisaichi was not afraid of Yoshio Shinozuka's gaze, and even put his hands on his knees to beat the rhythm, which sounded a bit like the rhythm of Awa Dance.
