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

With these 8,000 men, Li Yunlong dared to withstand the attack of a full-strength division of the Japanese devils.

Although the Japanese divisions have an advantage in manpower, the individual combat capabilities of their soldiers are also stronger than theirs.

But in terms of firepower configuration, it is far behind.

The advantage in firepower is enough to make up for the gap in these two aspects.

After all, the firepower configuration of the independent regiment is much stronger than that of the Eagle Sauce in World War II.

In addition to this, the independent regiment is also equipped with relatively luxurious communication equipment.

Among them, shortwave radios have been equipped at the battalion level, while troops below the battalion level are equipped with radio walkie-talkies, with one for each platoon.

This has basically solved the problem of relying on shouting for communication.

The regimental headquarters can even give orders directly to a certain platoon.

The maximum communication distance of 20 kilometers is more than enough for a radio walkie-talkie.

Perhaps because of the war, electromagnetic waves may be partially interfered with, but a communication distance of 15 kilometers can be guaranteed.

Overall, this military expansion plan will greatly enhance the combat effectiveness of the independent regiment.

In this era, it is already considered a ceiling-level light infantry regiment.

However, starting from the end of 41, the Japanese army launched a large-scale sweep of the Eighth Route Army. 41 and 42 were also the most difficult times for the Eighth Route Army.

Even now the Eighth Route Army has been greatly strengthened in firepower.

But the Japanese are not pushovers either, and there is still a big gap in overall strength.

Facing the Japanese invaders' raids, the Eighth Route Army was still no match, but it could inflict greater damage on the Japanese invaders, which in turn reduced its own casualties.

Li Jingrong is very clear about this.

After the independent regiment took root in the northwestern Shanxi base.

There is absolutely no problem with motorization, mechanization or even armoring.

Now these things will only become a burden when the independent regiment breaks out.

This is also the reason why Li Jingrong has never provided a large number of vehicles, armored vehicles and tanks to the independent regiment.

Naturally, no one had any objection to this military expansion plan.

Zhao Gang nodded and said, "If there are no problems, then it's confirmed."

"By the way, Commander, do you want to report this to the brigade headquarters?"

Li Yunlong shook his head and said, "No need to report it. Didn't the brigade commander say that even if my independent regiment expands to 10,000 people, it's none of his business. As long as I can get weapons and food, that's all that matters."

If this is reported to the brigade commander, he will be severely punished.

The size of an independent regiment has already caught up with an entire brigade. How can this be tolerated?

So Li Yunlong decided not to report it for the time being. Anyway, the superiors of 217 had given their independent regiment enough autonomy.

Of course, all this is thanks to Li Jingrong.

After the meeting at the regimental headquarters, Li Yunlong said to Li Jingrong, "Brother, the headquarters has sent over some goods for sale. Do you want to go and take a look?"

After hearing this, Li Jingrong nodded and said, "Then let's go and take a look."

The things sent by headquarters this time are really not few.

The amount of gold alone reached 5 tons, and there were also jewelry, diamond jewelry, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, etc.

Li Jingrong made a rough estimate that if all these were sold in the future, they would be worth more than 200 million yuan.

He had no intention of making money from this.

He purchases as much as the sales amount.

Anyway, his current source of income is in Europe, so he really doesn't care about this little bit of money.

Moreover, these things were all saved by the soldiers and the people in the base area through frugality.

If he goes to make money here, he will have no guilty conscience.

Some money can be earned, but some money is a sin to earn even a penny.

With the Gate of Time and Space, he doesn't need to make this kind of money at all.

Previously, there was no solution because of the lack of sufficient start-up capital.

Li Jingrong nodded and said, "I'll have someone count these things and take them away. What do the leaders want to purchase?"

Li Yunlong said, "It's mainly food, cloth, cotton, salt, sugar, as well as iron and steel. I wonder if you can buy some?"

"Steel, no problem, I'll bring it next time."

The base really lacks everything, and the most lacking are iron and steel.

Generally speaking, the Eighth Route Army's main source of steel was from railways.

If local troops wanted to get supplies from their superiors, they basically had to rely on tearing up the railways and exchanging steel for weapons, ammunition and supplies.

Li Jingrong had overlooked this point before.

"I guess I should bring a mineral distribution map and iron and steelmaking equipment next time."

Taiyuan.

Taiyuan was very lively at this moment, with the commander at the city gate, Yoshio Shinozuka, Chief of Staff, Ikki Yamamoto and other generals and lieutenant commanders.

In addition, there are so-called maintenance associations, puppet army officers, etc.

There are also those so-called pro-Japanese people gathered here.

Their purpose is to welcome a person.

That is the new commander of the First Army, Yoshio Iwamatsu. He is the commander appointed by the headquarters and is here for a new large-scale sweep.

As soon as he takes office, he will prepare to launch a large-scale sweep of the entire western Shanxi province.

While eliminating the threat posed by the Eighth Route Army to western Shanxi, he also established his prestige as a commander.

Yoshio Shinozuka and Ikki Yamamoto were both waiting with expressionless faces.

"General, I have received orders from the front. All my team members will go to the grassroots to serve as officers."

"And I am more familiar with the situation in western Shanxi. I will be transferred to the General Staff to assist the new commander."

Yoshio Shinozuka nodded to show that he understood.

"Yamamoto-kun, special operations will definitely be the trend of the future. You must stick to your original intention and never give up no matter what."

Yamamoto Ikki was very moved by Yoshio Shinozuka's words.

"Thank you, Commander. I will definitely keep your words in mind. As long as I am here, I will not give up on promoting special operations throughout the army."

When Yoshio Shinozuka thought about his own fate, he couldn't help but feel sad.

If I go back this time, I'm afraid I will face questioning from the base.

My fate is dark, and I am afraid I will not see that day.

After all, Jinxi Province suffered such heavy losses, there has to be someone to take the blame.

As a commander, he repeatedly disappointed the front and the headquarters.

If he doesn't take the blame, who will?

At this moment, a signalman ran over, whispered a few words in Yoshio Shinozuka's ear, and handed him the telegram.

Shinozuka Yoshio's face instantly turned as dark as the bottom of a pot, and he said angrily, "This Iwamatsu Yoshio is too arrogant. Let's go back to the headquarters first."

Seeing Shinozuka Yoshio so angry, Yamamoto Ikki asked, "General, what's wrong?"

Shinozuka Yoshio slammed the telegram to Yamamoto Ikki and said, "Read it for yourself."

After saying that, he walked towards the car without looking back.

Yamamoto Ikki couldn't help but frown when he saw the content of the telegram.

It seems that the new commander is very difficult to get along with. Doesn't he know that there is a welcome ceremony here?

This must have been a deliberate attempt to intimidate Yoshio Shinozuka.

Why bother with this? After all, Yoshio Shinozuka is about to return to his country.

Chen Jiayu.

Independent regiment, assault brigade headquarters.

The assault brigade was very lively at the moment, and the plain was filled with soldiers riding bicycles and running around crookedly.

The most convenient means of transportation for mountain warfare is not a car, nor a three-wheeled motorcycle, but a bicycle.

The Japanese army relied on bicycles to achieve victory after victory in Southeast Asia.

It was called the Bicycle Blitz.

For the assault brigade, this is the most suitable means of transportation at the moment.

First, it does not consume fuel, you can walk with just two legs, and the speed is not slow.

The second is that it is light. When you encounter a difficult road, you can carry it through, and you won’t feel sad if you throw it away.

The third is that it has strong concealment and is more suitable for rapid and mobile infiltration.

So Li Jingrong purchased a batch in modern time and space as experimental products.

If it works well, it can be promoted to the entire army.

This was specially ordered by him. It is guaranteed to be strong and durable, and the materials used are also very high-quality, but it is a bit heavy.

Li Jingrong stood aside and watched the team members who had barely learned it after several days of study, shaking his head.

Then he shouted to Wei Dayong, who was also learning to ride a bicycle, "Monk, come here."

After hearing Li Jingrong's shout, Wei Dayong dropped his bicycle, wiped the sweat from his head, and walked over.

"Advisor Li, what do you want from me?"

Li Jingrong looked at the unbearable scene on the playground and frowned. "Practicing like this alone won't be very effective. Gather everyone and go practice outdoors. Our target is Cangyun Ridge. Bring all your equipment and ride fully armed."

He remembered that he used to practice cycling on the road, and he would learn it naturally by falling more.

Cangyunling is about 18 kilometers away from Chenjiayu. The road is not easy to walk on, but it is not difficult either.

The main reason is that it is located in a weak area within the Japanese army's sphere of influence, which is more suitable for training the assault team's riding ability.

The assault brigade quickly assembled after receiving the order.

Everything except the rifle was strapped to the back seat.

For example, the Type 80 general-purpose machine gun, Type 81 light machine gun, 60mm and 82mm mortars, and even recoilless guns can be strapped on.

The back seat was customized by Li Jingrong to tie up various weapons, and it was specially widened to make it easier to fit things.

"Reporting to Advisor Li, all members of the assault brigade have assembled. There are 120 of them, and the total number is 120. Please give your instructions."

Li Jingrong waved his hand and shouted, "Let's go."

It just so happened that I hadn't ridden a bike for a long time, so I went to experience it.

By the way, you can't go hunting in Cangyunling. You eat canned meat every day, and there are only a few kinds of food.

If Wang Yingqiu hadn't been able to cook in different ways, he really wouldn't have been able to eat it.

It's not that he is too delicate to endure hardship, but his appetite has long been spoiled by all kinds of delicacies in modern times, and it's really hard for him to get used to it.

It seems that next time I come here, I will have to buy some snacks, meat, vegetables, etc.

Since I worked so hard to bring these things here, it shouldn't be too much to cook a little for me.

The soldiers of the assault brigade made a lot of fools of themselves along the way, and several of them fell down from time to time.

But they still gritted their teeth and persevered.

As the spearhead of the entire regiment, they are not only the best treated, but also the most able to endure hardships.

I have to admit that this method is indeed the fastest way to see results.

You may not be able to master the sense of balance at the beginning.

But as you ride it you will naturally be able to keep steady.

There were bumps and bruises along the way, and from time to time there were cries of pain and happy laughter.

After learning how to do it, the soldiers were no longer afraid of riding bicycles. Instead, they found it very novel, and the team's speed also increased a lot.

After three or four hours, the assault team finally arrived at the foot of Cangyun Ridge.

Looking at the still steep Cangyun Ridge, Li Jingrong said, "Rest for ten minutes, then head up Cangyun Ridge fully armed. Today's training is over."

The soldiers rested on the spot without saying a word.

For them, even a second of rest is very precious.
