Bright Sword: This unit is really ruthless

But it’s different now, now we have Heli County.

The geographical location of Heli County is still very favorable.

First of all, this place is far away from the Japanese devils' sphere of influence, but very close to the Eighth Route Army's sphere of influence.

If we could build a logistics, military and other industrial base specifically for the 772nd Regiment or even the Eighth Route Army base here.

Then in the future, Heli County will surely successfully become the Eighth Route Army’s largest logistics supply base in northwestern Shanxi.

Hearing Zhang Ling's words, Zhao Gang spoke first: "Captain, to be honest, this idea is fine and bold."

"But we only have one regiment, and we have to occupy a county base. Didn't the regiment commander say that I, Old Zhao, don't support you?"

"But isn't this idea... a little too crazy?"

Zhao Gang now admires Zhang Ling more and more. His methods and command abilities are beyond reproach.

One victory followed another, and each of them was the Eighth Route Army’s greatest achievement to date.

When it comes to Zhang Ling's ability, Zhao Gang has absolutely no doubt about it.

But the problem is that the 772nd Regiment has just been rebuilt. Although the regiment has 6000 soldiers, its combat effectiveness is still lacking in other aspects.

They are still very immature.

Under such circumstances, they wanted to establish a base directly in Heli County and carry out production and construction of the Corps.

This……

Seeing that Zhao Gang seemed to be in a dilemma, Zhang Ling also said cheerfully: "Old Zhao, this meeting is for discussion. If you have any ideas, please share them."

"If it makes sense, wouldn't it be great if we all did it together?"

Zhao Gang then said with some concern: "Old Zhang, let's be honest. After all, our 772nd Regiment has just been rebuilt."

"The soldiers' morale is high for sure, but the entire regiment has experienced great losses before."

"It still takes some time to adjust and recover. Now we are setting up a base in Heli County."

"Wouldn't it be too high-profile and conspicuous? If we attract the attention of the Japanese, I'm afraid we wouldn't be able to move even if we wanted to, right?"

Zhang Ling smiled slightly: "Old Zhao, what you said is correct, and it is also within my consideration."

"But you have to know that our 772nd Regiment patted its chest in front of the boss and developed to more than people within half a year."

"If we want to fulfill the boss's expectations, we must have a base, otherwise how are we going to feed these ten thousand people?"

"Moreover, the base in Heli County is just an experiment and just a starting point for us."

"In the future, if the strength of our 772nd Regiment is expanded and strengthened, the scope of our base will also expand."

"Once we are moving in the right direction, then our 772nd Regiment will inevitably have to be high-profile and discovered by the enemy."

"So unless we don't develop, as long as we develop to a certain extent, there will be no such thing as being conspicuous or not."

"As for the relocation issue you mentioned, Comrade Zhao Gang, our Heli County is in the Cangyunling area. If we encounter an emergency, we can relocate."

“I have carefully considered choosing Heli County to build our base.” Zhang Ling said cheerfully.

After hearing this, Zhao Gang lowered his head and thought for a moment, then stood up and walked to the battle map and looked at it carefully.

Just as Zhang Ling said, behind Heli County is Cangyun Ridge.

The terrain of Cangyun Ridge is dangerous and it is easy to encounter emergencies.

Directly leading the entire regiment into Cangyun Ridge for a roundhouse battle can also help get rid of the Japanese attacks and entanglement.

It can be said that Heli County is simply a place chosen by heaven.

Thinking of this, Zhao Gang nodded and looked at Zhang Ling: "Captain, your idea is very good and it is indeed thoughtful."

Now that the team leader and the deputy team leader have no objections, this matter will naturally be studied and decided.

Subsequently.

Zhang Ling began to divide the work and cooperate on the matter of building a base in Heli County.

Xu Erniu was responsible for continuing to recruit new soldiers, while Li Dazhuang was responsible for training the new soldiers with the other two battalion commanders.

There are many young people in Heli County, and many of them have grudges against the Japanese.

The Eighth Route Army had not arrived at that time, so naturally there was nothing we could do.

Now that the Eighth Route Army has occupied Heli County, these young people naturally have the opportunity to join the army and fight the Japanese.

As for Zhao Gang, as the deputy head of the regiment and political commissar, he was naturally responsible for the ideological work of the people in the base area.

As well as the economic problems in Heli County, and the work of appeasing landlords and wealthy businessmen.

Zhang Ling’s main task, of course, is to establish the Heli County base staff as soon as possible.

The first focus was to establish a military factory, which belonged to the 772nd Regiment.

The smokeless gunpowder technology he had obtained before was used to build a bullet production line for the 772nd Regiment.

As long as there were endless bullets, at least in terms of firepower, the Eighth Route Army could completely rely on the city to defend against the attacking Japanese soldiers.

Zhang Ling calculated the time for all this and found that they only had one month.

After all, the Japanese will not give too much time to the Heli County base, and the boss of the headquarters will not give it either.

That’s how the work was assigned.

The entire 772nd Regiment was busy with its own work.

Zhang Ling first selected 772 soldiers from the 2000nd Regiment who had fought bravely and were qualified.

This naturally includes the 200 veterans of the 772nd Regiment.

Then, Zhang Ling had people move out the boxes of Type 56 semi-automatic submachine guns.

Each gun has 2000 rounds of bullets, one for each person.

This made this person very happy.

You know, the Eighth Route Army was really afraid of being poor.

Not to mention weapons, many militiamen directly use red tassel spears.

Occasionally there were a few militia leaders, and it was considered good enough if they had a turtle box.

Still want a submachine gun?

dream.

And now the 2000 submachine gun still surpasses other submachine guns of the same era.

The soldiers were naturally very happy.

Li Dazhuang and Xu Erniu naturally also had one in their hands.

Although the Type 56 semi-automatic submachine gun is much better than other weapons of this era, the basic theory is similar.

So there is no situation where it will not be used.

After getting a little familiar with it, I was basically officially included.

After the guns and ammunition were distributed, Zhang Ling also comforted the others who had not received any.

He also promised that if they could wipe out another regiment of Japanese invaders next time, he would fully replenish the entire regiment.

According to Zhang Ling's calculations, a Japanese regiment of about 4000 people could be wiped out in one go.

You can get about 1.2 to 1.5 points.

Enough to arm a force of 1 men.

Then, Zhang Ling set rules for the entire group.

There must be meat in all three meals a day.

But at the same time, the soldiers' training also changed from once every five days to every day.

Now that nutrition has improved, the intensity of exercise must naturally keep up.

However, there are not enough bullets now, so shooting training is still conducted once a month.

Ten bullets at a time.

There’s nothing I can do, I’m poor!
