Xing Zhiguodao: "The existing system of our independent regiment is three main battalions, including the cavalry company, artillery company, guard company, heavy machine gun company and wolf warrior squadron, and the communication squad, the groom squadron and the kitchen squadron. The quota of two thousand people is almost exactly enough to fill the system."

He paused and said, "But is the quantity enough for the unified replacement of daily equipment?"

Wang Ye said: "The artillery company does not need to be replaced in a unified manner for the time being. After all, there are only four artillery pieces in total, but other combat units must be replaced in a unified manner."

Xing Zhiguodao: "Your Wolf Warrior Squadron is also changing into Japanese weapons?"

The Wolf Warrior Squadron now has the most complicated weapons, including the Type 38 sniper rifle, twenty-shot box cannon, MP38 submachine gun and the Jinfa imitation M1921 Thomson submachine gun.

"The Wolf Warrior Squadron doesn't need it." Li Yunlong said.

"Wolf Warrior Squadron can do whatever it takes."

Xing Zhiguo originally wanted to say that specialization would have a bad impact?

But before he could speak, Li Yunlong said, "That's right, I just want to make it special. The Wolf Warrior Squadron is not an ordinary combat force, and they cannot be measured by conventional standards."

Seeing that Zhao Gang did not object, Xing Zhiguo stopped talking.

Wang Ye continued, "Captain, I still have one more problem."

"Xiao Wang, tell me." Li Yunlong said with a smile, "What's the problem?"

Wang Ye said: "The number of guns counted by the Supply Office certainly does not include singles, old sleeves, muskets, gun lifting and other old weapons, otherwise it would have been far more than 5,000, right?"

"Of course." Li Yunlong said, "These earth guns do not need to be counted."

"But these earth guns can also fight against the Japanese, right?" Wang Ye said, "So I have a suggestion, it is better to give these old weapons to the militias in the Jiugongshan base and Wohushan base."

"Give it to Lao Ding and Lao Kong? No, no, no, no, no."

Li Yunlong shook his head like a rattle: "Where is such a good thing in the world?"

After a pause, Li Yunlong said again: "We have to let the two of them exchange ammunition."

"Old Li, aren't you talking about this?" Zhao Gang said angrily, "How could Commander Ding and Commander Kong exchange old weapons with us with ammunition?"

"Then I can't give it for free, right?"

Li Yunlong is very vivid and looks like a rich man.

"Captain, I think the independent regiment should have some expression." Wang Ye said, "After all, the next step, the Japanese army in Shanxi will carry out a large-scale sweep of our Fuliangshan base. At that time, the new first regiment will be needed. The New Second regiment will be restrained from the outside. The more vigorous the Commander Ding and Commander Kong fight on the outside, the easier it will be for our inside."

"If you have it, let Lao Ding and Lao Kong come here."

Li Yunlong said: "It's just right to discuss the arrangements for counter-sweeping."

It was said that it was a discussion, but it was actually just an order and wanted to be a teacher again.

...

In Jiugong Town, the new Yituan Regiment Headquarters.

Li Xiaoxian, Chief of Staff of the New First Regiment, handed a report to Ding Wei and said: "Captain, this is an expansion plan formulated by our General Staff. Where do you think there is still a need to modify it?"

"Let's take a look." Ding Wei took the report.

But after just one look, my brows frowned.

"Chief of Staff, your plan to expand fraud is too conservative."

"Conservative?" Li Xiaoxian said, "Three thousand and five hundred people are still conservative?"

Ding Wei said: "In this way, we will directly add the county brigade and the squads of each district, and expand it to 5,000 people."

"Five thousand people?" Li Xiaoxian was startled and said in a daze, "Captain, are you too big?"

"Time doesn't wait for anyone." Ding Wei said in a deep voice, "In the face of the invaders, we must have the spirit of not waiting for me at times."

"But, but..." Li Xiaoxian said, "On the first step is that there is still a certain gap in the number of our weapons and equipment, and on the other hand, will the expansion step be so large, which will lead to a significant decrease in combat effectiveness?"

"If there is not enough weapons and equipment, I will find a way to solve it." Ding Wei said in a deep voice, "After the troops are greatly expanded, their combat effectiveness will definitely drop significantly, but there is no big problem. The Japanese will not attack us for the time being."

"If nothing unexpected happens, the Japanese will be the independent group."

"At that time, the independent regiment will fight on the inside, and we still have the new second regiment to implement restraint on the outside."

"It just happened to be a good time to train troops at that time and use combat instead of training. The troops can form combat effectiveness in the shortest time. The cost is still small. If you miss such an opportunity, you will be gone."

While speaking, the telegraph soldier came in and reported: "Captain of the regiment, the independent regiment was urgently telegraphed."

Li Xiaoxian received the telegram and said to Ding Wei: "Captain, Commander Li invites you and Commander Kong to go to Zhaojiayu for a drink."

"Drinking?" Ding Wei smiled and said, "It must be for the anti-sweeping incident. Chief of Staff, didn't you just say that there was still a gap in our weapons and equipment?"

"Yes." Li Xiaoxian said, "at least five hundred rifles are missing."

Ding Wei said: "This time I go to Zhaojiayu, I have to get back 500 rifles."

"Do you want to get a gun from Commander Li?" Li Xiaoxian shook his head and said, "Impossible, this is absolutely impossible. Who doesn't know that Commander Li is a local rich man in Shanxi and has never taken advantage of it."

"Don't believe it?" Ding Wei smiled, "Then let's go and see."

After a pause, he rushed to the outsider and said, "Mouse, prepare the horse!"

...

Yuanao Town, New Second Regiment Headquarters.

Guan Dashan quickly walked into the regiment headquarters.

"Old Guan?" Kong Jie asked, "What did Xie Baoqing say?"

Guan Dashan waved his hand and said nothing, he grabbed the teapot on the table and directly fed it to the spout.

It was not until he drank a pot of herbal tea that he wiped his mouth and said, "Captain, I think Xie Baoqing is unreliable. He said he was willing to accept the transformation of the anti-Japanese war and the Japanese, but he never took any action."

Kong Jie said: "Don't worry, as long as he has this attitude, that's fine."

After a pause, he said, "The conditions cannot be agreed upon for the time being, so let's talk slowly."

"But the problem is that his conditions are too arduous." Guan Dashan said, "Not only do you want to give him an independent brigade system, but you are not allowed to send political cadres to the independent brigade. What do he want to do? He wants to build an independent kingdom!"

"It is impossible not to send political cadres." Kong Jie said, "The Party leads the gun, this is the principle."

"So, I said this guy is not sincere." Guan Dashan said, "He is playing with us."

"That won't." Kong Jie waved his hand and said, "I guess Xie Baoqing has concerns too. It doesn't matter if he has concerns. As long as our Eighth Route Army treats each other with sincerity, one day he will dispel his concerns."

Speaking of this, he said, "I won't talk about Xie Baoqing for now."

"You go and call the political commissar here, let's take a look at the expansion."

"The expansion matter?" Guan Dashan said, "What's there to discuss?"

"The big pot is enough to put as many rice as we have, just follow the amount of equipment we have."

"I guess our new second regiment should be able to expand to two thousand people this time, right?"

While he was speaking, the telegraph soldier came in with a telegram and reported, "Captain Li, the commander of the regiment, was in urgent need of telegram."

Kong Jie took the telegram and looked at it, and smiled and said, "Li Yunlong, this kid, said he would invite me and Lao Ding to drink. I guess he must be the teacher's addiction and wants to arrange combat missions for me and Lao Ding."

Guan Dashan smiled and said, "Captain Li is really addicted to it."

"Laoguan, let's talk about the expansion matters when I come back from Zhaojiayu."

Kong Jie said: "But, prepare horses."

...

No. 11, Tieshizi Hutong, Peking.

Japanese North China Front Command.

Not long after the Battle of Nakajoyama ended, Okamura Yasuji plunged into the mobilization operation plan against the Eighth Route Army and the Hebei-South Military Region. He has been busy with this matter recently.

Staring at the map, Okamura Yasuji said: "Have the prisoners of Nakajoyama taken to the prisoners?"

Deputy Chief of Staff You Jingsan said: "More than 50,000 prisoners of war have been taken to the central Hebei region one after another."

"Yoxi." Okamura Yasuji nodded, "Then let's start the iron wall encirclement. This time, the iron wall encirclement must be strictly required with the highest standards and cannot be as perfunctory as before."

"Hayi!" The three sub-sophagus paused their heads.

At this time, a communications consultant came in.

Chief of Staff Moritake Tanabe received the telegram and read it, his face instantly collapsed.

"Tabe-kun." Okamura Nishi frowned slightly and asked, "Is there any problem?"

Tianbian Shengwu paused and said, "Great General, this is a telegram from the First Army stationed in Shanxi, saying that the Kitazawa Brigade had already broken up collectively last night."

"Nani?" Okamura Yanji was stunned when he heard this.

There were Mo Jing San and more than a dozen combat staff members in the combat hall also looked at each other.

Is this too sudden? Isn’t it mentally prepared at all, and Kitazawa’s brigade was suddenly wiped out?

After a while, Okamura Yasuji said with a dark face: "Tanabai, what's going on? If I remember correctly, the First Army does not seem to have any combat operations during this period, right?"

"Your Excellency General, this is the whole incident."

Tanabe Masabu told the whole story from the beginning.
