Wang Yousheng certainly had no objections, since he had already figured out the techniques for recruiting soldiers, and expanding the source of troops wouldn't be a big problem.
It's basically just a matter of food and equipment.
Wang Yousheng calmly said, "Commander, it's just that we were caught in the Japanese mopping-up operation. Otherwise, I would also like to command a battalion of over a thousand men."
"hehe!"
Li Yunlong said again, "Alright, your recruit camp has too many people. I'm taking a company with me. It's good that our regimental headquarters also needs a guard company."
"There are less than 500 men left. We will transfer another company to supplement the Second and Third Battalions. Their defense zone is weak and they don't have enough manpower."
"The remaining three hundred or so men are now in your command."
"Um?"
Wang Yousheng raised an eyebrow; his thousand-man battalion had been emasculated by more than half!
He remained unmoved. He had already tasted the benefits of recruiting soldiers. With guns, food, and a golden touch, why would he be afraid of not having enough recruits?
However, he still pretended to be reluctant and said aggrievedly, "You're really ruthless. I just managed to build a battalion of a thousand men, and you've already taken more than half of them. Regimental Commander, did you learn this from the brigade commander?"
"Hahaha!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Dabiao and the others burst into laughter.
Li Yunlong instantly became furious, laughing and cursing, "Go away! Don't mention 'brigade commander' to me, it makes me angry."
Li Yunlong is still feeling the pinch of losing those 50,000 jin of grain.
Li Yunlong then instructed, "We don't know how many more beasts have come during this sweep. The higher-ups have ordered us to break up into smaller units. But I've checked, and our regiment's firepower is currently very good. If we split up too much, it will definitely affect our combat effectiveness. Even if we encounter the Japanese defensive line, it will be difficult to break through."
"So, Zhang Dabiao, Wang Yousheng, your two battalions can be broken down into company-level combat units. Centered on Wanjia Town, use the villages under its jurisdiction to form a pincer movement. As soon as you have the chance, charge out, understand?"
Zhang Dabiao immediately nodded: "Yes!"
Zhang Dabiao then asked, "Regimental Commander, our regiment is so scattered in this battle. Once the Japanese mopping-up operation is over, where will we find our contact points?"
Li Yunlong shook his head and said, "It's hard to say yet. I'll send someone to find you after the battle is over. Of course, you can come to me too. Anyway, we're fighting around Mashun County, which is only a few hundred kilometers away. What are you going to do with yourselves?"
Zhang Dabiao nodded. Seeing that Wang Yousheng didn't raise any objections, Li Yunlong asked, "Shengzi, what about you? Your battalion is full of new recruits, are you alright?"
Wang Yousheng nodded and said, "Don't worry, Commander, just watch!"
"However, I have a condition." Wang Yousheng changed the subject, "The soldiers in our recruit camp are really not good at marksmanship, so I want to transfer a few veterans from the First Battalion. They are excellent marksmen and can provide us with solid tactical experience."
Without much thought, Li Yunlong asked, "Then who do you want?"
"Wang Xikui, Wang Gensheng, and of course, two artillerymen who can fire grenade launchers."
"Oh!"
Li Yunlong was immediately amused. Wang Yousheng really had a sharp eye; he always picked out the best soldiers.
Zhang Dabiao's expression tightened. It was one thing to want Wang Gensheng and Wang Xikui, but they also wanted artillery. You know, there were hardly any men in his battalion who knew how to use a grenade launcher.
Zhang Dabiao then said, "Shengzi, you don't know that our battalion doesn't have artillery, do you?"
Wang Yousheng replied, "Commander Zhang might not know, but our regimental commander is already planning to set up an artillery company."
"What do you mean?"
Zhang Dabiao was stunned.
He looked at Li Yunlong blankly, wanting an explanation from him.
Li Yunlong was also surprised and puzzled. He hadn't said anything, so how did Wang Yousheng know that he wanted to set up an artillery company?
Li Yunlong said, "You figured it out again. Last time we captured four 81mm mortars, and I'm planning to set up an artillery company."
"So that's why the regimental commander took my entire company with him, right?"
"Hey, you're quick-witted, aren't you?"
Zhang Dabiao was the first to excitedly exclaim, "That's great! Our Independent Regiment now has an artillery company!"
Li Yunlong glared at Zhang Dabiao with a look of utter disappointment and scolded, "Can't you keep your voice down?"
Zhang Dabiao instantly understood, thinking that the regimental commander was probably afraid of being found out by the brigade commander, and would probably call to inquire again.
Currently, a preliminary battle plan has been finalized.
Wang Yousheng is now a battalion commander. His mission is to lead his infantry battalion to fight around Mashun County. If the Japanese approach the base area, they must fight while ensuring their combat effectiveness.
Li Yunlong agreed to his conditions and planned to assign him two artillerymen who could fire grenade launchers once the artillery company was established.
However, it will obviously take some time. Even if Wang Chengzhu reports to the Independent Regiment and sets up an artillery company, training will be required. Artillery skills cannot be learned in a short period of time.
Wang Yousheng now has a Level 1 Artillery Basic Training Manual, which he has read several times. This thing does not require a lot of training. As long as the basic manual is given to the artilleryman, he can automatically absorb the knowledge. It is a kind of quick-training artilleryman.
In other words, if you give this artillery training manual, artillerymen only need to study it for one day to master what others can do in a month. If you give us dozens more of these books, you can create an entire artillery regiment!
He had already digested the basic artillery manual in his hand. He originally wanted Li Yunlong to transfer a cannon to him, but later gave up on the idea.
The mortar was Li Yunlong's prized possession, and he didn't show it to others easily. Not only would Li Yunlong suspect that he didn't know how to fire it, but even if he did, he couldn't reveal it.
After all, this is too unscientific. His enlistment information is with the regimental party committee. Once it is found out how he knew about the artillery, wouldn't Zhao Gang interrogate him?
Wang Yousheng decided to capture another cannon himself.
Thinking of this, Wang Yousheng was very happy. Damn it, he had finally left the newbie village!
The independent regiment was broken up into smaller units!
He now has guns, men, and autonomy; he must make a big splash!
After the meeting, Li Yunlong rode his horse back to the regimental headquarters in the spring breeze, and the First Battalion began a full reorganization.
……
Yangquan County!
This is an ancient city with a history of thousands of years. Humans lived and multiplied here in the middle of the Paleolithic period. During the Tang, Yu, Xia and Shang dynasties, Yangquan County was said to be the land of ancient Jizhou!
Unfortunately, our Chinese territory was occupied by the Japanese army in just a few months. The current Yangquan County is no longer the prosperous place it once was. The four main roads in the county are eerily quiet.
Although pedestrians passed by, they left in a hurry and dared not linger on the street.
On this day, on the main road into the city, the Japanese military police became traffic police, divided into two rows and guarding the left and right sides of the street. Before long, military vehicles roared in from the city gate.
The soldiers were all saluting, which showed that the people sitting in the military vehicles were all important figures in the Japanese army.
