Others show their swords, I show my missiles!

After receiving the call back, the headquarters had another phone call with Li Yunlong.

Tell Li Yunlong that he can build as many heavy armor regiments, artillery regiments and synthetic regiments as he wants, and it is up to the independent brigade to decide.

But the equipment will have to be "changed" after the production line is built.

The tank production line is now under emergency construction. It is expected that the first phase of the project will only take 20 days and the second phase of the project will only take 10 days.

It can almost keep up with the construction speed of makeshift hospitals in the 21st century.

The Chinese people can do many seemingly difficult things well as long as they grit their teeth.

Prior to this, two combined regiments were assigned to the 129th Division and the 120th Division.

Li Yunlong was both happy and worried after receiving the news.

The good news is that not only can heavy equipment groups and aviation groups be formed, but it is also up to you to decide how many groups you want to form;

The worry is that two combined regiments will be transferred to the 129th Division and the 120th Division. There are originally only six regiments. In addition, one regiment during the transformation of the heavy armored regiment has no combat effectiveness, and only half of the actual combat effectiveness is left.

However, Li Yunlong is no longer the extremely stingy and food-protective Li Yunlong he was a year and a half ago.

As the independent travel's financial resources grew, Li Yunlong became more and more generous. After receiving the call, he only hesitated for three seconds before agreeing.

Moreover, it is a package of two combined groups with people and equipment, including the group leader, as a gift.

In addition, the headquarters also plans to build several railway lines and expand several roads.

Trains run from Xiyang, Heshun and Liao County to Panlong, Wuxiang, Xiangyuan, Qinxian, Huiting, Licheng, Gaoping, Pingshun, Changzhi, Qinshui, Duanshi and other places.

Among them, Changzhi is the name changed from Luzhou, which means long-term peace and stability. It is not appropriate to say that it was a name change. This name already existed in the Qing Dynasty.

Licheng and Gaoping are still under Japanese control, but they will be recovered soon, so they cannot be excluded when making plans.

The headquarters hopes that Li Yunlong will sponsor some food for recruitment and construction.

Li Yunlong agreed, but also raised two questions to the headquarters:

First of all, it is now the busy farming season, and it is not so easy to recruit workers. Unlike winter, when you are idle at that time, you are idle. It is better to go out to work and earn some money. Now, you must first consider the crops at home;

Secondly, people in the liberated areas have plenty of food surplus at home. Using food as currency may not be easily accepted, and it may easily drive down food prices.

Once food prices fall, the currency in the liberated areas is now mainly linked to food, which will lead to currency devaluation.

So he suggested printing more of your own currency, but linking it to other supplies.

For example, use the eliminated anti-aircraft missiles to exchange for some gold with Jiang Wufa.

You can also exchange grain for gold.

Link currency to gold.

In addition, it is necessary to establish its own construction team with professional and permanent workers.

The work efficiency and quality of work of these people are higher.

Of course, as long as the headquarters needs to provide food or other materials, it will be provided. As long as it can be done, it will be no problem.

Seeing that Comrade Li Yunlong's ideological consciousness has improved so much in just one year, the headquarters is a little uncomfortable with it.

Li Yunlong called Zhao Gang, Xing Zhiguo and Zhang Dabiao to inform the headquarters of the decision.

When Xing Zhiguo heard that two regiments were to be taken away, he stood up as soon as he patted the table:

"Damn it, isn't the headquarters bullying people?

We have just trained the new recruits, passed the actual combat test, and gained combat effectiveness. However, they were handed over to others and have nothing to do with us!

Isn't this just stealing peaches?

I said, Lao Li, how could you even agree to this condition? "

Li Yunlong smiled and said:

"Hahahaha, Lao Xing, calm down, calm down.

I said you have only been here a few days for the Independent Brigade? After all, do you think I have more affection for the Independence Brigade? I didn’t even say anything!

When the headquarters recruits people from our brigade, it is a comprehensive consideration. How can we only care about our own small group?

Wouldn’t that become Shantouism? "

Zhao Gang on the side did not say a word. His focus was not on rowing away the two regiments, but on Li Yunlong's performance.

I thought to myself, did this old Li take the wrong medicine or was his body taken away? This is not the style of the legendary Lao Li!

When Li Yunlong saw that Zhao Gang didn't help, his eyes widened:

"Old Zhao! This ideological work is in your charge, so you'd better keep silent when it comes to you!

Come and do some ideological work for our Brigadier Xing! "

Zhao Gang finally recovered his thoughts and had a conversation with Deputy Brigadier Xing.

After all, he has been an old political commissar for many months, and he quickly surrendered to the explosive Xing Zhiguo.

Li Yunlong also said that it is up to him to decide which group to build.

Only then did Xing Zhiguo feel that it was fair.

The fifth and sixth regiment commanders were called in, and Zhao Gang personally did the ideological work.

The two men then led the entire regiment and reluctantly left the Independent Brigade and rushed to the 129th Division and the 120th Division.

The two divisions received a combined regiment with more people than an ordinary brigade. They were happy at first, but then felt uncomfortable.

Objects like synthetic blobs are too damn logistical!

The logistics required by this regiment are equivalent to the original division of 100,000 men!

In a short period of time, the logistics forces of the 129th Division and the 120th Division have doubled, not including the logistics support battalions of these two combined regiments.

After a period of adjustment, the combat mode of these two divisions basically changed to: the combined regiment directly confronts the enemy in the front, and the remaining main force focuses on protecting the transportation lines.

And use transportation lines to make fuss and launch various battles.

However, when the combined regiment is used for attacking fortresses and field operations, the effect is indeed stronger than the original division!

Let’s talk about Li Yunlong.

This is a good time to plant pasture and engage in breeding.

On the one hand, Li Yunlong led the second, third, and fourth regiments to eliminate the remaining enemies in the newly liberated areas and carry out land reform; on the other hand, Xing Zhiguo and Zhao Gang mobilized farmers to promote the technology of growing grass and raising livestock.

The system rewards after the liberation of Xiangyuan came in handy again.

At that time, many books related to agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry, sideline production, and fishery were awarded.

The winter wheat in the newly liberated areas was destroyed a lot because of the war. The Independent Brigade bought peanuts, soybeans, and cotton and sold them to farmers at original prices or even lower than cost prices, and replanted the destroyed plots with these cash crops.

In northern regions, April and May are the best times to sow these crops.

In the old liberated area, the chickens hatched last autumn and winter have begun to lay eggs after about four months; the piglets have also grown into half-sized pigs.

If pigs are raised using the free-range method, it will take about a year to be ready for slaughter, but the meat quality will be better.

In terms of agriculture, the liberated areas are prosperous as never before.

It is expected that after the autumn harvest, the liberated areas will become the richest areas in the country.

In the Japanese-occupied areas, the scene was still depressed. The people were starved of food and homeless.

With this stark contrast, many immigrants moved to the liberated areas, including tens of thousands of southerners.

There were even many soldiers from Jiang Wufa's side who defected from there, changed their identities, and reported to the liberated areas to join the army.

The Independent Brigade also took this opportunity to recruit troops on a large scale.

These refugees are newly arrived in Shanxi Province and have no allocated land or homesteads. Although the Independence Brigade has spent money to build multiple shelters, it is not a long-term solution.

At this time, joining the army is a good choice.

As long as you meet the requirements and join the army, you will not only have enough food and clothing to worry about, but you will also have some income to support your family.

For those who do not meet the conditions for joining the army, the Independent Brigade also provides them with some jobs, such as participating in road construction, building houses, working in factories, working as postmen, cleaners, etc.

The newly moved people were properly resettled, and no one starved to death in the liberated areas.

At the same time, the independent brigade also obtained some sources of troops. Within a month, it expanded to 70,000 and restored the establishment of six combined regiments.

But there is a serious lack of training.

In order to form combat effectiveness as soon as possible, Li Yunlong spent a lot of money:

In the Second Artillery Regiment, each gun must fire more than 20 shots a day; drone operators must fly drones for ten hours a day; drivers of cars and infantry fighting vehicles must be in the vehicle for at least five hours a day; infantry must fire two rounds a day. Hundreds of rounds of ammunition; each recoilless gun needs to fire ten rounds a day.

After a few days, some recruits couldn't stand it anymore and wanted to apply to leave.

Li Yunlong asked people to understand the reason. It turned out that many recruits felt that their hearing had declined significantly after listening to the sound of gunfire for a long time, and they were afraid of becoming deaf in the future.

Li Yunlong laughed when he heard that this was the reason, and asked the General Logistics Department to send tens of thousands of noise-cancelling earplugs, which can isolate the sound of gunfire but have little effect on the sound of conversations.

The recruits then returned to the intense training.

Another month passed, and the conscription reached 90,000.

However, there are about 6 combat-effective soldiers, and many recruits have been temporarily incorporated into the logistics support regiment.

The current independent brigade has one heavy-armored composite regiment, eight ordinary composite regiments, two artillery regiments, one aviation regiment, one special operations regiment, one air defense regiment, one engineering regiment, and one support group.

Among the ordinary synthetic regiments, three regiments are veterans, two regiments are recruits who have undergone one month of intensive training, and the other three synthetic regiments are just empty shells. Their people are still supporting the support group to exercise, and they have not yet joined the army. A month's worth of recruits.

It goes without saying that the combat effectiveness of the veterans is natural. After a month of intensive training and the new weapons, the new recruits should be able to fight three Japanese with no problem.

The special operations group was equipped with a large number of pickup trucks and increased the carrying capacity of mortars and recoilless rifles.

At this time, the independent brigade's comprehensive combat effectiveness has returned to 70% of its original level, and may be even higher.

Because two new combat units were built and the logistics force was stronger, about 20,000 new soldiers were arranged to be moved around in the logistics force.

The highway was also widened and leveled, and the roadbed was laid. In the future, mechanized troops will be able to maneuver much faster than before; moreover, logistics and transportation will also be much faster.

The two new units were the Aviation Regiment and the Second Artillery Regiment.

These are the two newly built combat units. Yan Qinglai, commander of the artillery regiment; Yi Danian, commander of the aviation regiment.

The Engineer Regiment is not considered a new one, it is separated from the Support and Guarantee Regiment.

After the establishment of these two new units, intensive training was also conducted.

In two months, the gun barrels of the Second Artillery Regiment were replaced three times; the aviation regiment also lost more than 600 drones during the confrontation exercise.

Countless shells, bombs, and missiles were used.

In order to make the best use of resources, the independent brigade used various Japanese war zones to train troops.

Today I will blast a section of your city wall, and tomorrow I will use drones to bomb your headquarters...

The result was that the Japanese abandoned Liping, Gaoping, and Jincheng.

Yangcheng is also just around the corner.

However, our military’s drones are no longer a secret.

It's almost the wheat harvest season, and the intensive training for new recruits is coming to an end.

Although there is still a lot of room for improvement with continued training, we can no longer wait. Once the wheat is harvested and the corn is planted, it will be time to fight again.

Seeing that half a year is about to pass, Jin Province still has more than half of it left, and it is necessary to speed up the progress.
