Of course, we still need to form some peripheral troops, just like the Gallic foreign troops model.

It is still necessary to hire some thugs, and some dirty and tiring work can be left to them.

This mercenary force was formed under the name of Umbrella Corporation.

Of course, this is his future plan. Now he should first develop this oil industrial zone.

Li Jingrong hurriedly left after putting down various equipment.

He really couldn't adapt to the desert environment. The wind he breathed into his respiratory tract felt like hot air, mixed with fine sand. The environment was extremely harsh.

The merchant ship carrying the first batch of oil workers is on the way, and all work is being arranged by Umbrella Corporation.

It can be said that apart from the transportation equipment, he doesn't have to worry about anything else.

However, there is still one thing he needs to worry about. The guards in the oil industry zone must be formed as soon as possible.

The initial scale is temporarily set at around 500 people. The focus is not on size but on quality.

Of course he doesn't have so many people at his disposal now, but he still has to set up the framework first.

Since this guard team was formed to protect oil, and oil is known as black night gold, the name is simply called the Black Gold Guard.

The organization is constructed according to four levels: squad, company, battalion and headquarters.

Among them, the battalion is the largest tactical guard organization.

The organization will not follow a fixed three-three system, but a more flexible one.

Moreover, the functions of each brigade are different.

At present, the main forces are armored forces and air defense forces.

Of course, the more advanced the equipment, the better, and the stronger the combat effectiveness.

Heavy equipment such as tanks, armored vehicles, infantry fighting vehicles, helicopters, surface-to-air missiles, and air defense radars were arranged first.

It is better for the equipment to wait for people than for people to wait for the equipment. He will arrange it after he returns.

In his plan, the 500 members of the Black Gold Guard will be divided into three battalions.

On average, there are about 160 to 170 people in each brigade.

One of the battalions is equipped with heavy equipment such as tanks, infantry fighting vehicles, self-propelled artillery and self-propelled rocket launchers.

One brigade is the Army Aviation Brigade, which is mainly equipped with armed helicopters or multi-purpose helicopters. It can usually perform air patrol missions to prevent anyone from discovering the existence of the oil field.

Another brigade is the surface-to-air missile force, whose main equipment is naturally surface-to-air missiles and air defense warning radar.

He will add more troops in the future.

As for what specific weapons to equip, it depends on what Rabbit can sell.

After all, the weapons he bought this time are different from the previous ones. This time he bought more advanced ones.

Although you can't buy the most advanced equipment, as long as you have money, it is not a problem to buy some active or semi-retired equipment.

Or he could just buy foreign trade equipment. Although most of them are monkey versions, their performance is sufficient for him.

After leaving, Li Jingrong did not return to Shilihe Village, but went directly to the headquarters of Umbrella Corporation, where there were still some things to be dealt with.

On the other hand, the independent regiment, under the instruction of Li Yunlong, has begun winter training.

Its main purpose was to train troops, and its secondary purpose was to attack and destroy the Japanese army, puppet troops, artillery towers, fortifications, warehouses, etc.

We can't let them live too comfortably this winter.

During this period, they caused such heavy losses to the Independent Regiment, the New First Regiment and the New Second Regiment, so we must get some interest back from them.

Yushu Village is a small village located on the edge of Datong.

Because a traitorous leader emerged in Yushu Village, he served as deputy commander of the Imperial Army in Datong.

In addition, this place is relatively close to Shilihe Village, the base of the independent regiment, so a puppet military camp was stationed here.

Usually this puppet military camp is stationed in a military station next to the village.

As the lackeys of the Japanese army, they were still very active in fighting the Eighth Route Army.

During last year's large-scale cleanup, this puppet army camp wiped out a guerrilla force and was complacent for a while.

Ever since the independent regiment settled down nearby, they have been living in constant fear.

How could Li Yunlong let go of this puppet army whose hands were stained with the blood of Eighth Route Army soldiers?

So they were the first ones to be operated on.

After all, you have to pick the weak ones to squeeze. First, boost morale and let the soldiers build up their courage.

To ensure that this Japanese force can be annihilated.

The 7th and 19th Companies of the 20th Infantry Battalion will cooperate in combat to completely annihilate this group of Japanese and puppet troops.

"Captain Qi, you've got to say, this tactic of yours is really good. After we sent a small force to appear nearby, these puppet troops all retreated and dared not show their heads again."

Captain Qi chuckled and said, "This is called closing the door to beat the dog. These traitors are running away very quickly."

"If we don't let them gather together, it will be difficult to completely annihilate them."

"Since they've all huddled together, let's just fight behind closed doors."

"See that little hillock?"

"Concentrate the 60mm from both of our companies and set up artillery positions on that small hill."

"You and I will attack the military station from both sides. Leave the small artillery tower at the military station to our company."

"As long as we destroy this gun tower, the Japanese devils inside will be like meat on the chopping block."

Another company commander agreed with the plan and nodded, saying, "Okay, this time, let our company cooperate with yours and wipe out this group of traitors."

Then he got up and left, heading towards his company.

Portable radios have been assigned to the company level.

The two companies can communicate directly at any time through walkie-talkies.

"Old Qi, I'm ready here, waiting for your order, we can launch the attack immediately."

Hearing the voice coming from the walkie-talkie, Captain Qi narrowed his eyes and looked at the snow-covered camp in the distance with murderous intent.

Yushu Village, inside the military station.

The puppet army battalion commander Zhang Da Kui stayed obediently in the small artillery tower, warming himself by the fire and drinking wine. He lived a very carefree life.

"Brother, something terrible has happened. Something terrible has happened."

At this moment, a puppet army officer ran up in a panic with a look of panic on his face.

Zhang Da Kui frowned, his eyes showed a hint of ferocity, and he glared at the person who came.

"What the hell are you panicking about? Your mom's dead. What the hell happened?"

The officer was almost in tears.

"Cannons! The Eighth Route Army has set up artillery on the hill over there. We seem to be surrounded by them, big brother!"

After hearing this, Zhang Da Kui remained calm and stood up immediately.

Because of his big movements, the table was overturned.

But he couldn't care less about these things now. He quickly came to the top of the gun tower and looked out from the shooting hole.

A total of six 6mm mortars have been set up on a small hill away from the military station.

The black muzzle of the gun was pointing directly at this side.

After seeing this scene, Zhang Da Kui's pupils shrank.

"Independent Regiment, it must be the Independent Regiment attacking."

"Quick, call the leader for help immediately, quick!"

They were already traitors, and their hands were stained with the blood of Eighth Route Army soldiers.

Even if they raise the white flag and surrender, they will never be let go.

So Zhang Da Kui had no intention of surrendering at all. Now he could only fight to the death and wait for reinforcements.

However, the most important thing at the moment is to leave the artillery tower.

Although it is very safe here, it cannot withstand the large number of artillery pieces of the Eighth Route Army.

"Chirp!"

A red flare rose into the air and the attack began.

"Target, puppet army station, fire!"

One mortar shell after another fell into the barrel.

"All, all, all..."

As a mortar shell was ejected from the barrel, another one was immediately inserted, and ten rounds were fired rapidly.

In an instant, shells began to fall into the military station like raindrops.

Intensive explosions rose from within the wall.

Although the power of a 60mm mortar is not very great, it is still much greater than that of a grenade.

Moreover, the artillery positions kept pouring out shells as if they were free.

The entire military station was engulfed in flames of the explosion.

The puppet troops inside were so frightened that they were in a panic.

Some began to dodge left and right, while others huddled in the corner and trembled. The whole place was in chaos.

"charge!"

Seeing that the military station had been completely suppressed by the artillery, Captain Qi decisively launched a charge.

“Tick-tick-tick…”

The charge sounded, and soldiers from the two companies jumped out of their bunkers and slowly approached the military station on the snow.

When it was 500 meters away from the military station, the muzzles of two 82mm recoilless guns were already aimed at the small artillery tower.

Two 82mm shells directly destroyed the simple small artillery tower.

This thing is good for dealing with guerrillas without heavy weapons.

In front of the Independent Regiment, even concrete buildings are like paper.

The battle was over in less than half an hour.

It was a complete crushing defeat throughout the entire process.

The news soon spread to Datong.

Datong, garrison headquarters.

Today, Datong is heavily armed.

In addition to an independent mixed brigade stationed in Datong, the 3rd Tank Division is also stationed in the surrounding area.

The total number of troops is nearly 30,000.

This is not a small amount.

The highest-ranking officer currently stationed in Datong is Major General Matsumasa Ayashiro, commander of the 16th Independent Mixed Brigade.

Although the commander of the 3rd Tank Division had a higher rank, they were only stationed there temporarily.

Therefore, the military command is still in the hands of Matsumasa Ayashi.

Besides, the commander of the 3rd Tank Division has been staying in the camp in the suburbs and has not entered the city.

In addition to Matsumata Ayashi, the garrison headquarters also had another person with more say, Yamamoto Ikki who rushed over from Taiyuan.

He came here as special correspondent Yoshio Shinozuka.

Although he could not take command, he could still provide advisory services.

"Report, urgent telegram from Yushu Village: an Imperial Army battalion was attacked and completely annihilated by the main force of the Eighth Route Army. The Yushu Village military station has now been destroyed."

Upon hearing this, Matsumamasa Ayane frowned and went to the map to search carefully.

In addition, Yamamoto Ikki also came over.

"it's here!"

After seeing the location of Elm Village, Yamamoto Ikki shouted, "The Independent Regiment, it was done by the Independent Regiment."

Matsumasa Ayane wondered, "Why did Yamamoto-kun decide that the Independent Regiment was responsible?"

Yamamoto Ikki pointed to the location of Yushu Village and said, "The independent regiment's base is in Shilihe Village in the mountains."

"And Yushu Village is one of the routes leading to Datong for the Independent Regiment, only about 20 kilometers away from them."

"Although the combat effectiveness of a battalion of the Imperial Army is not good, it is not something that ordinary Eighth Route Army troops can defeat."

"Only an independent regiment with better equipment than ours could have destroyed an Imperial Army infantry battalion so quickly."

Matsumasa Ayane narrowed his eyes and sneered, "The Independent Regiment is eager to attack Elm Village. They must be trying to open up a passage to the outside world."

"It seems our siege has been effective. They are probably short of clothes and food at the moment."

"We don't even have to do anything. The weather will kill them on behalf of the Empire."

After hearing his words, Yamamoto Ikki didn't think so, but he didn't know what to say.

Given Li Yunlong's character, if he were to come out, he would definitely not just attack a small Yushu Village.
