Bright Sword: Double penetration of the dealer, shocking Li Yunlong

After the expansion, the independent regiment has 5 infantry battalions of about 600 people under its command.

There are also four artillery companies, a cavalry company, an anti-tank company, two anti-aircraft companies, and a firepower reinforcement company.

Including logistics supply troops and field hospitals, the total force has reached about 4500 people.

Although there were several hundred more people than expected, it was not a big deal for the independent regiment that had sufficient supplies.

Looking at the list of military expansion, Li Yunlong was very satisfied.

"My independent regiment has already caught up with Chu Yunfei's 358th Regiment in terms of both weaponry and numbers."

"His 358th Regiment is a top-tier unit. Now he can't even compare to Old Li."

Chu Yunfei, Fang Ligong and others left not long after the Battle of Huting ended.

This war shocked them greatly, and at the same time, they had a clear understanding of the combat effectiveness of the independent regiment.

If he knew the current strength of the independent regiment, he would be even more shocked.

After finalizing the military expansion plan, the independent regiment began to recruit soldiers from county battalions, guerrilla forces, and villages.

The rest of the troops were not idle either. They now had a very important task, which was to build roads.

It took about five days to move more than 2000 tons of supplies. Fortunately, there was the transport fleet organized by Li Jingrong.

Otherwise, it would take at least ten days for them to transport so many things to the headquarters several kilometers away by carts and horses.

With the confirmation of the cooperation between the two sides, more supplies will arrive in the future. Wangjiagou has also become a major transfer station for supplies.

Therefore, it is very necessary to build a two-lane road leading to the headquarters.

As long as the road is opened up, Li Jingrong will continue to expand the size of the fleet.

At least it needs to be expanded to about 100 vehicles. At the same time, Wangjiagou will also become an important training base for vehicle drivers of the Eighth Route Army.

Or it would be more appropriate to call it a military driving school. After cooperating with Li Jingrong, the development of the Eighth Route Army will inevitably enter the fast lane.

At that time, it was inevitable to equip a large number of trucks, so motor vehicle soldiers would become particularly valuable.

In addition to building this road, Chen Jiayu also began to carry out certain renovations.

Several warehouses were built to store weapons and equipment.

Just as the independent regiment was expanding its army and building roads, the assault brigade, which had rested for a while, became active again.

The assault brigade lost more than 20 people due to the previous battle at Taiyuan Airport and the pursuit and interception by the Japanese army on the way back.

When Li Yunlong learned about the casualties, he was heartbroken. These 120 people were all top-notch soldiers in the army.

The death of one person is enough to cause pain for a long time, let alone so many.

Wang Xikui always felt itchy holding the Springfield sniper rifle in his hand. This gun had not seen the blood of Japanese devils for a long time, and it always felt a little uncomfortable.

"Captain, we've been resting for so long, and the regiment doesn't have any missions. Training alone doesn't mean much to us anymore. Do you want to go around the county? Killing a little Japanese soldier is also a profit."

Wei Dayong was also a warmonger. After being instigated by Wang Xikui, he was immediately tempted.

Wang Gensheng rolled his eyes and said, "Captain, I've researched a new method of laying mines, and I think we can try it."

"Even if we don't find an opportunity to take action, it can be considered as a way to investigate the situation in the county."

Wei Dayong thought this made sense, patted the pistol at his waist, and said, "You two will lead the first squadron and follow me to the county town to scout the enemy situation."

If the entire assault brigade is brought along, the target will be too big and it is not suitable for small-scale covert operations. A squadron of 30 people is enough.

So Wei Dayong and others quietly took a squadron and left the base and headed towards Ling County.

They only reported this reconnaissance operation to their superiors before leaving. Whether the regiment headquarters agreed or not was their business.

Even if I disagreed, it would be useless because Wei Dayong and the others were already halfway there.

Monk Wei didn't learn anything else, but he did learn the essence of Li Yunlong's bad habits.

"Damn it, this Wei Dayong is so bold! He pulled my team out without my consent. I'll beat him to death when he comes back."

Zhao Gang chuckled at the side. He didn't know why he found Li Yunlong's cursing expression so funny.

"Now you know how the brigade commander felt when you led the troops to attack without authorization."

After hearing this, Li Yunlong couldn't help but asked in surprise: "Was I like this before?"

"Before? You're like this now. If the top beam is crooked, the bottom beam will be crooked. Even Wei Dayong has learned your bad habits."

Li Yunlong was immediately displeased when he heard what Zhao Gang said. He said, "Bullshit! This is your worst mistake. Wait until they come back and do some ideological work. If they are still like this, how can I lead this independent regiment?"

Li Yunlong didn't feel embarrassed at all when he said this.

Wei Dayong led the first squadron through the Japanese's outer patrol area and lurked near Ling County.

"Something's not right. The Japanese's defense has been strengthened, and even the patrols are more dense."

They often strolled around Ling County and were very familiar with the Japanese patrols in this area.

The patrols here are indeed stricter than usual.

Wei Dayong, who was lying in the grass, adjusted his helmet and said, "There's definitely something wrong with the Japs today, and the Japs' defenses at the city gate are much stronger than usual."

At this moment, a three-wheeled motorcycle drove out from the gate of Ling County, followed by five Japanese trucks and a row of three-wheeled motorcycles.

The car was filled with Japanese soldiers holding guns, and there was a Type 99 light machine gun mounted on the roof.

"Five trucks and so many three-wheeled motorcycles, the size of a squadron. What are the Japanese going to do?"

Through his military binoculars, Wei Dayong watched the trucks and three-wheeled motorcycles filing out, muttering, "Captain, do you want to follow and take a look?"

Wei Dayong thought for a moment and said, "Let's go and see what these devils are up to."

Ever since the incident with the 41st Regiment, the Japanese soldiers in the city have rarely come out.

Since this group of Japanese devils have come out, there must be something going on.

The Japanese army's convoy was not moving very fast, and Wei Dayong and others followed the convoy through the mountains.

Fortunately, they are all elite soldiers in the army, and their food is good, so their physical strength is far superior to that of ordinary soldiers.

After following for about five kilometers, they were all out of breath.

At a three-way intersection, the Japanese soldiers all ran down and began to set up a cordon around the area.

A Japanese lieutenant got out of the car.

As soon as Wang Xikui saw that it was the lieutenant colonel, he couldn't help but pick up his sniper rifle and aim.

Wei Dayong shouted in a low voice: "Don't do anything, let's see what the Japs are going to do first."

Wang Xikui smiled awkwardly and said, "Don't worry, I'm just taking a look, I won't do anything else."

After watching for about two or three minutes, they finally figured out some clues.

Wang Gensheng said, "Captain, it looks like the little devils are waiting for someone."

"This lieutenant colonel should be at the level of the Japanese deputy regiment commander. The person who can let him come out to greet him must be no ordinary person."

Wei Dayong nodded in agreement and said, "He must be waiting for someone, Wang Gensheng."

"To!"

"Let's take him down. Go ahead and plant some mines and explosives on the road over there. The Japs will definitely go back after they find the people. Just blow them up."

Wang Gensheng's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said excitedly, "Alright, Captain, just wait and see. This time we'll definitely blow all the Japanese up into the sky."

"You guys follow me."

Wang Gensheng and a few others went to bury the explosives happily.

Wei Dayong and others continued to lurk on the mountain and observe the Japanese soldiers not far away.

After about half an hour, Wang Gensheng had already buried the explosives and mines, but there was still no movement from the Japanese.

However, Wei Dayong and the others were still very patient.

Even if there is no other gain, it would be a big profit to cripple this Japanese squadron.

This time they attacked on their own and did not intend to return empty-handed.

Otherwise, the leader would have to skin him alive.

Just as they were looking forward to it, they finally saw dust rising from another road.

"The devil's convoy is coming!"

As these words were spoken, everyone perked up and looked in the direction of the convoy.

Through the telescope, Wei Dayong could clearly see the situation of the convoy.

When he saw the convoy clearly, Wei Dayong's eyes couldn't help but shrink, and then turned red.

"When enemies meet, they become extremely jealous!"
