I am helping

"Captain, are we the deputy commander?"

"This is real?"

Except for Zhang Dabiao, everyone else asked with surprise on their faces.

After all, before, they only received treatment, they were promoted to deputy regiment level, and their position was still battalion commander.

Moreover, in order to facilitate the command of the combined battalion during wartime, the strength of the command is still one battalion.

Of course, the strength of the previous battalion was already at the strengthened regiment level.

The salary upgrade is just a few dollars more per month.

But now that he has been promoted to deputy regimental commander, his position is directly promoted from battalion commander to regimental deputy, which is equivalent to the third in command of the new regiment.

Zhang Dabiao has been following Li Yunlong these days, so he knew about this in advance.

"Of course it's true. Could it be that Political Commissar Zhao and I would still lie to you?" Li Yunlong said.

Whether it is Zhang Dabiao who has been following Li Yunlong since 1937, or Wei Dayong and Lu Yingjun who joined later, it is no problem to become a regiment commander or even a brigade commander based on their military exploits.

If he were in the national army and had made so many great contributions, he would have no problem serving as a division commander.

But then again, it was only by following Li Yunlong that they had the opportunity to achieve these great achievements.

If he had been with another regiment or the national army, he might have died for the country long ago.

When all the battalion commanders heard this, they all looked overjoyed again.

"Don't be so impatient to have fun yet." Li Yunlong said with a straight face, "I still have a task to give you!"

In fact, Li Yunlong had long wanted to promote them to deputy captain, and this was a suitable opportunity.

It won't be long before people like Duan Peng, Sun Desheng and Ma Renxing will be promoted to deputy captains one after another.

"Captain, what's the mission?"

Wei Dayong clenched his fists and asked with his eyes wide open, eager to try.

Wei Dayong usually likes to be brave and ruthless, but he is very good to soldiers. He uses his bravery and ruthlessness on the battlefield.

Wei Dayong's soldiers are roaring and ruthless characters on the battlefield, and will never stop until they tear the enemy into pieces.

Therefore, the Sixth Battalion is good at attacking difficult situations and fighting tough battles. It is fierce.

Of course, each of the six main battalions has its own characteristics.

For example, Lu Yingjun's main force, the fifth battalion, is good at winning by cleverness. Every battle must achieve the greatest results with the lowest cost of casualties.

For example, Chen Dugu's main force, the fourth battalion, because he, the battalion commander, likes to use underhanded tactics, so the soldiers in the fourth battalion all like underhanded tricks.

For example, Zhang Dabiao's main battalion was fearless in fighting, had the most elite veterans, and had the strongest combat effectiveness.

It can be said that Zhang Dabiao has received the true inheritance of Li Yunlong. His tactical command is flexible and changeable, his sense of smell on the battlefield is extremely sensitive, and his offensive style is fierce and aggressive!
The style of the military chief of each army will affect every officer and soldier in the army.

Li Yunlong looked at Wei Dayong: "You kid, loosen your fists. I know you are from the Shaolin Temple. Don't fight and kill all day long. If you have time, learn more cultural and military knowledge. The mission this time is not to fight!"

"hey-hey."

Wei Dayong suddenly showed his white teeth and smiled.

Li Yunlong glanced at everyone and said.

"As for what mission it is?"

"Of course it's a training mission."

"Your promotion to deputy captain this time is not for nothing."

"After careful discussion and consideration by the regiment headquarters, our new regiment is ready to form a six-armed synthetic battalion!"

"The six of you will serve as commanders of each heavy-armed synthetic battalion!"

As Li Yunlong spoke, he glanced seriously at the six King Kongs in front of him.

In addition to Duan Peng, Chu Yunfei, Sun Desheng and Ma Renxing, Li Yunlong has ten diamonds in his hands, all of which are not bad guys, but strong men.

The remaining 100 battalion commanders are not ordinary people.

Today's new regiment can be said to be strong and strong.

"Heavily equipped synthetic battalion?" Lu Yingjun asked.

The battalion commanders' eyes lit up slightly when they heard this, and they reassembled the combined battalion. Just hearing the name made them feel awesome.

"That's right!"

Li Yunlong nodded:
"This time, we are going to create a heavy-armed combined battalion. Each heavy-armed combined battalion consists of 2 infantry battalions, 1 tank battalion, 1 heavy artillery battalion, 1 air defense battalion, 1 transportation support battalion, and 1 reconnaissance battalion. , 1 Combat Support Battalion.”

"Captain, this is a good relationship." Second Battalion Commander Zheng Yu grinned, "The tank battalion, heavy artillery battalion and air defense battalion are all regiment-level?"

The other deputy captains also looked expectant.

8 battalions, in fact, most likely 8 regiments, a proper division-level establishment.

In this way, although they are deputy regiment members, they live the life of division commanders.

"Second Battalion Commander, please stop smiling like a lotus flower."

"This is a specific preparation."

Li Yunlong threw a folder to the second battalion commander.

The second battalion commander opened the folder and looked at it, and saw what was written on the file.

"There are 2500 infantry battalions, 24 tanks in the tank battalion, 24 122mm howitzers in the heavy artillery battalion, 50 machine guns in the air defense battalion, 200 vehicles and 400 mules and horses in the transportation support battalion, and the reconnaissance battalion...the total strength is about 1."

The second battalion commander read it out while reading it.

The faces of all the deputy captains suddenly smiled like lotus flowers.

Although the heavy artillery battalion and the tank battalion did not reach the regiment level, they were definitely enough for division-level troops!

of course.

With the current balance in Li Yunlong's hands, it is not enough to equip the soldiers of the new regiment with infantry fighting vehicles and other equipment.Such a heavily-equipped combined battalion could easily defeat a second-line Japanese division, or even compete with an A-type division.

As for the national army, let alone that. Even the most elite division of the national army is not even qualified to touch porcelain.

Now, Li Yunlong directly formed six heavy-armed synthetic battalions.

Forming a synthetic battalion is a new trend among regiments.

Now the new regiment has a total of 108 battalions, which is actually 108 regiments. The troops are too bloated and difficult to command.

Moreover, the new group will definitely continue to expand in the future, and the expansion speed will become faster and faster!

Then there will no longer be 108 battalions, but three to five hundred battalions, or even more. By then, Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang will not be able to command three to five hundred battalions in combat, right?
Since we want to build a combined camp, it’s better to get it right in one step and directly reinstall the combined camp.

This greatly increases the combat effectiveness of each heavy-armed synthetic battalion.

In fact, this has something to do with Li Yunlong's own thoughts.

On the one hand, it was Boss Chen who proposed the corresponding concept.

On the other hand, Li Yunlong himself wanted to add firepower to the troops.

There was nothing I could do. I was too scared of the poor days in the past, and the fear of lack of firepower had penetrated deep into my bones.

The stronger the firepower, the more at ease Li Yunlong feels.

Firepower is not the strongest, only stronger.

With the firepower of this heavy-duty synthetic battalion, Li Yunlong even felt that it was not very good, almost meaningless.

However, the battalion commanders were already very satisfied.

"This is the leader's trust in us. We must lead the team well and kill the Japanese ruthlessly!"

After Zheng Yu read the establishment list, he was the first to express his stance, his tone and expression seemed very determined.

"We must lead a good team and kill the Japanese ruthlessly!"

In addition, five deputy heads, including Zhang Dabiao, expressed their stance.

Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang nodded, their expressions were very satisfied.

Zhao Gang then said: "Over at the headquarters, we have prepared chiefs of staff and operational staff for each of your heavy-armed synthetic battalions, and established a heavy-armed synthetic battalion headquarters. Specific orders for the formation of heavy-armed synthetic battalions will be issued by the regiment headquarters as soon as possible."

The original instructors of each main battalion continue to serve as political commissars.

However, after all, it is commanding a division-level force, and the chief of staff and staff officers are indispensable.

Next.

Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang gave some more details and urged the heavy-armed synthetic battalions to strengthen training before ordering the meeting to adjourn.

Only then did the deputy commanders leave the regiment headquarters in their cars with great satisfaction.

Of course, there is also a difference between the deputy leader and the deputy leader.

These new deputy captains still have to stand at attention and salute when they see an experienced deputy captain like Xing Zhiguo.

After all, Xing Zhiguo is Li Yunlong's old comrade-in-arms, and Xing Zhiguo now also receives brigade-level treatment.

Li Yunlong is treated at the main division level, Zhao Gang is treated at the deputy division level, and Wang Dehou is also treated at the brigade level.

……

"Six heavy-duty synthetic battalions..."

Watching the six warriors leave, Li Yunlong sat down on the chair, crossed his legs, and smiled slightly:
"Old Zhao, the formation order is issued as soon as possible, so that each heavy-armed combined battalion can increase coordinated training among various arms and form combat effectiveness as soon as possible."

"clear."

Zhao Gang nodded, also in an expectant tone:
"The order will be given tomorrow."

After a pause, Zhao Gang smiled slightly: "Actually, the Heavy Equipment Synthetic Battalion has a new name, but in fact the combat method is not very new."

"In the past, our new group could be said to be a large-scale heavy-duty synthesis group."

"In fact, it is a large-scale heavy-armored composite group that integrates infantry, tanks, heavy artillery, armored vehicles, cavalry, air defense troops, and air force."

"Since Boss Chen started helping us, our new group has never been defeated."

"Judging from the results, the combat effectiveness of our heavily armed force has been tested."

"That's right!" Li Yunlong nodded and said, "Old Zhao, you have the same idea as me. I also heard Boss Chen say that countries such as Germany and the Soviet Union like to build armored divisions."

Zhao Gang then asked: "Old Li, do you want to get an armored division?"

There are now about 300 tanks in the new regiment.

Before the Battle of Shota, the New Regiment had more than 100 tanks. During the Battle of Shota, a total of 300 tanks were earned, and 150 were handed over to the headquarters.

If you lose some money in the battle, Boss Chen will reimburse you for free.

In addition, Li Yunlong used some of the credits from killing the Japanese to exchange for dozens of tanks and collected 300 tanks.

This is already the size of an armored division. Currently, the new regiment has a total of 6 tank battalions, each with more than 50 tanks.

This time, each heavy-armed combined battalion requires 24 tanks, and a total of 144 tanks are needed, which is almost half of all the tanks in the new regiment.

"An armored division?" Li Yunlong pursed his lips, "Who are you looking down on?"

Zhao Gang suddenly raised his eyebrows and asked, "How many do you want to make?"

"Hey hey hey..."

Li Yunlong first laughed strangely, then grabbed the teapot and took a sip of herbal tea:
"I would like to build dozens of armored divisions, but it's a pity that we don't have that much capital!"

"Let's get one first."

"Even if we engage in this armored division, it still depends on whether Duan Peng and the others can successfully complete this mission."

Zhao Gang: "..."
