Chapter 313, Influence
The mountain road is extremely rugged and difficult to walk, even the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army who have trained iron feet have to stop and go.

During the break, Yuan Lang, who was about to eat a can of canned food, suddenly found that his points were skyrocketing again.

A new set of data has been added to the record board of the new second regiment.It is the highest single-day growth in the past six months.

Without any doubt, who met the devil?

Li Yunlong?
Yuan Lang was the first to think of him, but he always felt that it was not true, so he asked Yang Zhongpeng who was drinking water: "

"Do you think it is possible for the regiment leader to take a company and wipe out five hundred devils and a thousand puppet troops?"

Yang Zhongpeng choked on the water and coughed several times before recovering, "Consultant, are you telling a joke?

One can fight a thousand puppet troops in a row, others can't do it, I believe the regiment leader can definitely do it.

But if you add five hundred devils, I don't believe it unless the devils die with machine guns. "

Yuan Lang nodded slightly, actually he didn't believe it, let alone more than 500 people, even pigs, it would take a long time to catch even a hundred people.

To eliminate so many enemies, at least two battalions are needed.

Political commissar Zhao led the second and sixth battalions, the commander of the third battalion and the three battalions all had the opportunity to do it.

With limited information, Yuan Lang couldn't guess who did it.

Alas, I should have known earlier, I should have gotten a few more radio stations before I left, and I would have found out by sending a telegram to get in touch.

Save him time and effort guessing.

……

The brigade commander stood in the shade of a tree smoking a cigarette, looking at the blue sky and white clouds, puffing out the clouds, so happy.

When the chief of staff came back from outside, he saw it from afar: "Old Chen, your addiction to cigarettes is getting heavier and heavier. Come on, let me share it with you."

They are all big smoking guns, you can smoke if you want, and you can even make excuses.

The chief of staff took a look at the cigarettes, and his face was full of suspicion: "No, why are they American cigarettes? Haven't they been smoked already! You hid a batch, am I right?"

Since the establishment of a cigarette factory in the base area in the first half of the year, the Brigadier and the others have smoked cheaper self-produced cigarettes.

The cigarettes are cheap, they are not as good as the batch of American cigarettes that Yuan Lang bought.

"Take a fire."

The chief of staff took a deep breath and let out a long puff of smoke, looking extremely enjoying it.

In order to save the remaining half pack of cigarettes, the brigade commander hurriedly said: "It's only half a pack, if you want to rob, you go to the Xiner Regiment to find Yuan Lang."

"He said he was a good partner!" The chief of staff's desire to rob was broken, and he couldn't ask for more.

"By the way, the New Second Regiment has been away for a few days, shouldn't it be time to reach Zhongtiao Mountain?"

The brigade commander took a puff of cigarette and thought for a while: "I left on the th. It's been exactly a week today, so I guess it's time to arrive."

When crossing the enemy's blockade, in order to prevent the signal from being detected by the enemy's radio station, keep the radio silent.

The brigade headquarters had not heard from the three regiments for a week.

Now it’s like flying a kite, it’s all connected by that thread, how strong the wind is, whether the kite can stand it, is no longer under the control of the kite flyer.

"I hope they are doing well." The chief of staff could only send blessings.

Speaking of Cao Cao, Chao Chao's news will arrive.

The chief of the telecommunications department ran forward with a telegram, and shouted from a long distance: "Good news, the new second regiment has won the battle again."

It's good news, but the New Second Regiment didn't win battles just once or twice, so there's no need to be so excited.

The brigade commander smiled and appeased the panting telecommunications chief, took the telegram and glanced at ten lines.

The expression on his face suddenly froze.

The chief of staff was taken aback when he saw this, and hurriedly asked: "What's the matter, what's going on?"

The brigade commander saw that he was very worried, and couldn't help laughing: "It's a good thing, you see."

The chief of staff glanced at ten lines at a glance, heaved a sigh of relief, and smiled on his face: "Okay, these three ambushes were well fought.

As soon as he arrived at Zhongtiao Mountain, he slapped the little devil hard, which boosted his morale and prestige. The new second regiment played beautifully! "

To wipe out Japanese troops and puppet troops is a big victory for a regiment anyway.

Especially since the battle took place in Zhongtiao Mountain, people have to think that the Battle of Zhongtiao Mountain has just ended.

Comparing the 18 Central Army with an infantry regiment of the Eighth Route Army, the gap is the gap.

The chief of staff sighed unceasingly, and already had an article in his heart to promote his achievements.

It was distributed through newspapers to boost the morale of the soldiers and civilians, and it was also a powerful counterattack against Chongqing's accusation that they did not resist the Japanese.

The brigade commander was very interested in some of the situations in the battle report, he said: "I don't know if you have noticed, but the political commissar Zhao Gang is not the commander of this battle, Li Yunlong.

However, it was only a main battalion with a strength of one to six that established the victory and inflicted heavy losses on the Japanese and puppet troops.The final casualty ratio was one to fifty. "

The chief of staff stopped thinking about the article, and when he heard the brigade commander's analysis, he nodded thoughtfully:
"This shows that although Zhao Gang has never been to a military academy, he has been in the army and has a certain ability to command and fight.

An infantry battalion, with a strength of one to six, had a casualty ratio of one to fifty. This...why does it sound so exaggerated? ! "

He couldn't help but questioned.

Even if the New Second Regiment had the record of Huangyadong, it would be too exaggerated.

"It's a bit exaggerated. However, you can see the explanation in the telegram. The main reason is that the second battalion is equipped with a large amount of automatic firepower, machine guns and submachine guns, which inflicted heavy damage on the enemy at the beginning of the war." The brigade commander said.

The chief of staff recalled the establishment of the New Second Regiment. There were three main battalions, and light machine guns were equipped to the squads. Each squad had a Czech type and a submachine gun.

Plus company headquarters, battalion headquarters, fire platoon, and so on.

The number of light machine guns and submachine guns has reached a staggering 70 or more.

The heavy machine guns were equipped to the platoon level, and there were ten of them in total.

I didn't feel it yet, but I was shocked when I calculated it.

The chief of staff was surprised and said: "This main battalion has stronger firepower than the two regiments, no wonder!"

The brigade commander said with emotion: "The three main battalions are all configured in this way, and the remaining three are halved. Look, the new second regiment is very rich.

Without our hard maintenance, it would have been richer than this. "

To describe rip-offs as maintenance, only the brigade commander can put it so fresh and refined.

However, the chief of staff also felt that what he said made sense. The machine gun configuration of a main battalion was equivalent to two infantry regiments, and the combined firepower of the whole regiment of the new second regiment could match ten regiments.

If you don't knock a little more, it will definitely be more inflated than it is now.

Back to this battle, the firepower equivalent to two infantry regiments of the Eighth Route Army was concentrated on the Japanese army for a short time.

It is logically no problem to injure it.

The chief of staff sighed from the bottom of his heart: "If our troops could be like the New Second Regiment, we would have driven the little devils away."

"Old Chen, is it possible for us to have a few more main players like the New Second Regiment?"

The brigade commander took a sharp puff of his cigarette and frowned, "Let's not talk about the gun, even if you have one, I'm afraid you won't be able to afford it."

Troops equipped with a large number of machine guns and submachine guns are very fierce in combat effectiveness, and their consumption is also doubled.

The brigade commander of the Bobosha submachine gun has personally used it. He held the trigger and fired all 35 rounds of ammunition in a few seconds.

You can save a little by shooting short bursts, but you can't save much by pressing a few bullets.

You know, 35 rounds of bullets are enough for a soldier with a rifle to fight for half a day.

Look at the description on the telegram again. The soldiers with submachine guns held the triggers and fired wildly at the enemy, turning the Japanese soldiers into hornets' nests.

It is estimated that the light and heavy machine guns are not much different. With so much automatic firepower, it is estimated that 1 rounds of bullets will not last for minute.

That was already the infantry battalion of other regiments, and almost half of the bullets were stored.

After calculating the economic accounts, the chief of staff swears: "I'm going, how many bullets were used in this battle? What they shot were not bullets, but money!"

According to this calculation, there are a few troops like the New Second Regiment, and the existing arsenal of the Eighth Route Army. Don't do anything, just produce bullets for them!
He is now very convinced that the Eighth Route Army cannot afford to support a few more troops like this.

"Now you know! The Japanese can also produce submachine guns. They don't have them, either because they consume too many bullets and can't afford them."

The brigade commander said: "Now I really suspect that Yuan Lang and the people behind him have a huge arsenal or a large arsenal.

Otherwise, just spending money on bullets would bankrupt them. "

As soon as he said it, the brigade commander regretted it, and he was so excited that he spoke out what was in his heart.

He didn't want to continue this topic, and instead talked about the command of the battle. He was very impressed by Zhao Gang's boldness in carrying out the third ambush in the same place.

The brigade commander, who seldom praises others, praised Zhao Gang severely.

The chief of staff agreed, but he was thinking in his heart: Everyone is curious about who is standing behind Yuan Lang.

But people are so generous, and they provide all kinds of weapons and equipment to support the war of resistance. It doesn't matter who is supporting it.

He didn't want to say it, so who would dare to press him?

If someone is forced away, that would be a huge loss.It's better to restrain curiosity and continue to maintain the current cooperative relationship.

It is really redundant for Lao Chen to protect the calf.

……

On a relatively wide slope in the Zhongtiao Mountain range, piles of bonfires were lit.

Around evening, Ding Wei received a message from the brigade headquarters through the radio.

After reading the telegram, he couldn't help but marvel: "Oh my god, Lao Li picked up another treasure. A scholar can lead troops capable of both civil and military skills!"

Ding Wei thought he was fast, and the troops passed through the enemy's blockade smoothly and entered the Zhongtiao Mountain Range.

Can carry out the next step of the plan.

However, they didn't do anything, and the New Second Regiment made a big fuss and completed a lot of task targets.

This comparison, down to compare them.

"First Battalion Commander."

Calling someone over, Ding Wei handed him the telegram: "Look carefully, this one from the New Second Regiment is beautiful."

The New First Regiment has accumulated a lot of wealth over the past year, and with the support from Yuan Lang, the first battalion has been fully strengthened, and its equipment is no worse than the three main players of the New Second Regiment.

Ding Wei specially forwarded the telegram to the first battalion commander, just to encourage him.

See how powerful other people's children are, so learn from them too!
"Head, Commissar Zhao's choice of opportunity is too ingenious. If you want to be like others, you have to have a chance..."

The first battalion commander was stared at by Ding Wei's stern eyes, and the more he spoke, the more confident he became. He knew that the regimental commander didn't want to listen to difficulties.

He had no choice but to grit his molars and shout: "Reporting to the head of the regiment, we must overcome the difficulties and complete the task, and we will not let the brothers of the friendly army look down upon us."

Only then did Ding Wei nodded in satisfaction: "Okay, call the battalion commanders of each battalion, let's analyze it carefully, study what good opportunities there are, and we must come up with some results.

I can't let people say that if Li Yunlong brought Xinyituan out, it would be no good if Ding Wei brought it. "

"Yes!"

The first battalion commander was still embarrassed, but when he heard what the regimental commander said, he felt ashamed.

I must earn back the commander's face.

……

"Asshole, stupid, hopeless!"

In the headquarters in Taiyuan, Yoshio Iwamatsu slapped the table for the first time since taking office.

Of the infantry brigade of more than 800 people, there are less than left.

More than 600 people won the Imperial Association Army, but less than came back.

It's fine to fight normally, and the Imperial Japanese Army is not afraid of such a loss.

But what made this failure a scandal was that they were ambushed by the enemy three times in the same place within two days.

"Is his brain filled with water!"

Yoshio Iwamatsu asked angrily.

Even if a dozen or so people were sent to conduct a careful investigation, they would not suffer such a disastrous defeat.

He didn't believe that Junxiu Lin's mind was not filled with water.

Jingle bell, the phone on the desk rang.

The anger of Hero Yansong came to an end, and the officer who was being scolded, rolled out quietly as if he had received an amnesty.

"Yes, yes, what, is this true?"

The other side of the phone: "That's still a holiday. After a few days, the official order will arrive. It's time for Tada Jun to resign and return to China.
Although it is said that he was promoted to a general of the army and served as a military councilor.But you and I both know that this is a rising and falling, and the base camp is very dissatisfied with him. "

Yoshio Iwamatsu stared blankly, the person on the other end of the phone was his former subordinate, who served as a staff officer at the China Dispatch Army Command.

The news is absolutely believable.

Hayao Tada, who had just wiped out the central army and won another great victory for the imperial army in North China, was about to be dismissed and return home.

When he took office at the beginning of the year, the days when the two of them drank badly together were still vivid in his memory, and he couldn't accept it for a while.

Yoshio Iwamatsu asked: "What is the specific reason? It shouldn't be so unexpected!"

"Ah, this..." The person on the other end of the phone paused, as if he was considering whether he should say it or not.

"Actually, I didn't personally hear the reason, but according to the current gossip, it should have something to do with the Eight Routes.

Last year, the public security situation in North China was particularly poor. The headquarters asked North China to send troops to take the Eighth Route as the first target.

Tada Hayao completely ignored this order, and even did the opposite.

The Central Army in the Zhongtiao Mountain area was wiped out, and then the Eighth Route infiltrated it. I don't understand the significance of the previous action of using imperial troops.

Is it just to clear the way for the development of Eight Roads?
The Imperial Army was ambushed three times at the same location, and the entire North China Dispatch Army was almost becoming a laughing stock. "

After Yoshio Iwamatsu hung up the phone, he sat down slumped.

He knows the character of his subordinates, and he does things rigorously.If it was groundless, even if he refused, he would not say these things.

Unexpectedly, Tada Hayao would end up like this because of winning the battle.

"Eight roads, eight roads..."

All turned into a deep sigh.
