Anti-Japanese War: I have unlimited assistance

Chapter 189 Planning and Training!
Political Commissar Zhong asked, "Old Li, what gift are you sending to headquarters?"

Before everyone came to the regiment headquarters, Li Yunlong had already conveyed the order from the headquarters political department.

Political Commissar Zhong can select a battalion commander and 15 grassroots officers to go to the new 7th Regiment.

Moreover, Li Yunlong also gave Political Commissar Zhong a batch of weapons, ammunition and a number of large mules as part of the start-up capital for Zhong Zhicheng after he joined the new unit.

This time, Li Yunlong handed over another batch of weapons and ammunition.

The superiors did not allow the New 1st Regiment to send out troops. According to convention, Political Commissar Zhong was the one who was separated from the New 1st Regiment.

In addition to the battalion commander and grassroots officers, the new first regiment also needs to separate a company of soldiers to form the new seventh regiment.

Of course, the new 7th Regiment is also a basic regiment. The weapons and equipment are ready. A few companies are drawn from other brother units and new recruits are added to form a new basic regiment. After training and education, the new regiment can form combat effectiveness in just a few months.

Li Yunlong has not yet discussed with Political Commissar Zhong about sending a big gift to the headquarters.

Li Yunlong looked at Xiong Shanglin and said, "Boss Lin said that as long as our New 1st Regiment's Blade Commando Team completes a special operation, he will give our Blade Commando Team a reward."

The Blade Commando is a company-level unit and is directly under the regiment headquarters. Xiong Shanglin is naturally qualified to attend regiment headquarters meetings.

"Captain, our Sharp Blade Commando is always ready for battle."

Xiong Shanglin's eyes lit up and he was eager to try.

The team leader first said that he wanted to give the headquarters a big gift, and then mentioned Boss Lin’s reward. This gift must be related to the Blade Commando.

Suddenly, Xiong Shanglin's eyes twitched: "Captain, you are not going to send the Blade Commando to the headquarters?"

Li Yunlong nodded in satisfaction at first, but then he said angrily, "What are you thinking, kid? I spent a lot of effort to build your Sharp Blade Commando Team. Every one of you is a treasure. I wouldn't even trade a special forces soldier for a company commander, so how could I be willing to give him to the head of the headquarters?"

"hey-hey……"

Xiong Shanglin breathed a sigh of relief:
"Then I feel relieved. From now on, I will fight the Japanese with you. Wherever you go, I will go."

After the two battles of Lubei Village on the Zhengtai Railway and the attack on Yangquan, Xiong Shanglin was completely convinced of Li Yunlong.

Zhong Zhicheng was a little envious. Even a brave general like Xiong Shanglin, who had experienced the Long March and made great contributions, was completely devoted to Li Yunlong. This kid had a really strong personal charm.

Of course, Zhong Zhicheng also knew Li Yunlong's character. As a party member for ten years, he was absolutely loyal to the party and would never make mistakes like forming a faction.

Li Yunlong laughed and said, "Look at what you're saying. I'm going to the Japanese headquarters in Peking, are you going too?"

"Then I will definitely go." Xiong Shanglin said with a chuckle, "I will take the Blade Commando Team and personally chop off Terauchi Juichi's head and use it as a chamber pot for you, Captain."

Zhang Dabiao laughed and said, "You're using a human head as a chamber pot, aren't you afraid you won't be able to pee?"

"Ha ha……"

Everyone burst into laughter, and the regiment headquarters was filled with a happy atmosphere.

"Back to business."

Li Yunlong pressed his hand, and everyone fell silent. He then continued:

"According to intelligence, the Japanese army has stockpiled a batch of weapons, ammunition, and food in Wuxiang County, southeastern Shanxi."

"The great gift we want to send to headquarters is the weapons, ammunition, and food in this county."

"By the way, complete a special operation and earn the reward that Boss Lin gave to the Blade Commando."

"Also, Boss Lin said last time that if we recaptured a county town, we could get 100 tons of grain."

"I also plan to send all the 100 tons of grain we recaptured from the county to headquarters."

The last time Yangquan City was recaptured, Lin Feng gave the New 100st Regiment tons of food, but Li Yunlong has not received it yet.

We haven’t even finished eating the food we earned from killing the commander of the Japanese 20th Division last time.

Li Yunlong planned to wait until he arrived at the Jinzhong base before looking for Boss Lin to collect the goods.

Li Yunlong looked at Zhong Zhicheng and said, "Old Zhong, our New 75st Regiment should still have tons of food that we can't take away. We will give it to your New th Regiment when the time comes."

After killing Kawagishi Fumisaburo, Li Yunlong earned a total of 300 tons of grain and handed over dozens of tons to the brigade headquarters.

The elite of the Independent Regiment and the New Third Regiment were selected as special forces of the Blade Commando during the training.

Li Yunlong gave Ding Wei and Kong Jie another 40 tons of grain each. Now there are more than 150 tons of grain in the warehouse of the New st Regiment.

Can't finish it, can't finish it at all.

Today, the New 100st Regiment has become a large and powerful organization, with nearly million rounds of bullets and tens of thousands of artillery shells.

The New 1st Regiment moved from southeastern Shanxi to the Jinzhong base. With the New 1st Regiment's transportation capacity, it was simply unable to take away all the food.

Once he arrives at the Jinzhong base, Li Yunlong can call Boss Lin to deliver the goods, so he will have no shortage of food in the short term.

Li Yunlong planned to give all the remaining grain, except for the portion that was handed over, to Zhong Zhicheng. "Thank you very much, Old Li."

"Thank you, captain."

Zhong Zhicheng and Song Daying were both very happy. For the basic regiment that had no military pay, this batch of food was like timely help.

The first thing the new 7th Regiment did after its establishment was to solve the problems of food, drink, defecation and urination for the soldiers.

Of course, before the official order was issued, Zhong Zhicheng was still the political commissar of the New 1st Regiment.

"Thank you for what?"

Li Yunlong said arrogantly, "We are one family and we don't have different opinions. If we are short of food and ammunition in the future, it will only take a word."

Everyone suddenly fell silent.

Zhang Dabiao was the first to break the silence. "Captain, the last time we attacked Yangquan, the Japanese blew up the arsenal and granary. What you're saying is... before the main force of our regiment attacks the city, we send the Sharp Blade Commando to infiltrate the city first. During the siege, the Sharp Blade Commando will seize the arsenal and granary?"

Everyone's eyes lit up. The last time, it was because the plan was not well-planned that the Japanese blew up the arsenal and granary.

This time, the New 1st Regiment was attacking the city specifically for the arsenal and granary, so they naturally couldn't let the Japanese blow them up, which would have been a waste of effort.

Moreover, this time the Blade Commando has already formed combat effectiveness and is equipped with new weapons and ammunition provided by Boss Lin, which has further improved its combat effectiveness.

The Blade Commandos do this kind of work, and taking over weapons, ammunition and grain depots is not a problem.

Li Yunlong's mouth curled up slightly: "Da Biao, you only guessed half right."

"Oh?"

Zhang Dabiao and everyone else looked puzzled.

Li Yunlong looked at Xiong Shanglin and asked, "Can you, the Sharp Blade Commando, sneak into the city with weapons and ammunition without alerting the enemy defenders?"

Xiong Shanglin's eyes first showed a thoughtful expression, then he nodded. "No problem. Sneak into the city through the city gate with weapons and ammunition is definitely not an option. However, our second combat team has a soldier nicknamed Monkey. He was an orphan since childhood and was raised by a thief. He learned the skills of a thief. The city wall is like flat ground for him. We can have Monkey climb up the wall and drop a grappling hook. Then he can use the grappling hook to climb up the wall and sneak into the city."

Every special forces soldier has a nickname, for example, Wei Dayong is called the Monk, Liu Shouren is called the Hunter, Xiong Shanglin is called the King, and Lü Yingjun is called the Victorious One...

This warrior nicknamed Monkey is also one of the martial arts masters on the list provided by Boss Lin.

However, the monkey didn't like stealing other people's things, so he was kicked out by his master. In order to make a living, he did some small business in the county town.

But when the Japanese invaders came and traitors were in power, even small businesses became unsafe. Just then, Wei Qiang came to his door, so he stomped his feet and joined the Eighth Route Army.

"Wei Qiang, your special forces company will select elite soldiers and form a platoon. You will lead them personally and use the grappling hook to enter the city."

Then Li Yunlong looked at the reconnaissance platoon leader Wang Hongcai:
"Xiao Wang, your reconnaissance platoon will also use the grappling hook to enter the city. The special forces company's mission is to occupy the granary, and the reconnaissance platoon's mission is to occupy the arsenal."

"The Blade Commando is responsible for beheading the Japanese military police."

"Yes!"*3
"This is a good plan!" Political Commissar Zhong thought about it and felt that this plan was good.

The four walls of Wuxiang County are about three or four kilometers long in total. With such a long distance, the Japanese and puppet troops only have a few hundred people in total. It is impossible for them to cover every aspect without any loopholes.

It would only take a few minutes at most for the Blade Commandos and two platoons of soldiers to enter the city.

As long as there is internal and external cooperation, with the current combat effectiveness of the New 1st Regiment and the experience accumulated from attacking Yangquan City, taking Wuxiang City will not be a problem.

"Now that we have a rough plan, we need to develop a comprehensive operational plan and emergency response plan."

Li Yunlong spread out a map and looked at Wang Hongcai:
"Xiao Wang, please first introduce the enemy forces in Wuxiang County and the Japanese reinforcements."

Ever since Boss Lin delivered the goods and asked the Sharp Blade Commando to complete a special operation, Li Yunlong has been keeping an eye on the Japanese and puppet troops in Wuxiang County, and sent Wang Hongcai with scouts to Wuxiang County to obtain intelligence.

"Yes…"

Wang Hongcai quickly reported various situations including the enemy's troop strength, defense, and possible enemy support.

Based on Wang Hongcai's report, everyone gathered around and talked to each other, and a battle plan and emergency plan were gradually perfected.

……

After perfecting the combat plans and emergency plans for siege and special operations.

Li Yunlong ordered all troops to carry out intensive simulated combat training near Chenjia Village.

The Blade Commando, reconnaissance platoon and elite platoon of the special forces company carried out intensive climbing and lurking training.

The machine gun company suppressed the city wall fire points and conducted air defense training, while the artillery company trained in long-range bombardment and rapid position change.

And the guard company's newest arrival, familiar with flamethrower training.
