Chen Weiguang was the commander of the 3rd Independent Regiment of the Imperial Association Army. If he could incorporate this unit into the Dragon Soul Brigade, then the Dragon Soul Brigade's strength would definitely increase greatly!
According to Li Yunlong's understanding, an independent regiment of the Imperial Association Army had at least 3,000 people, and the strongest independent regiment had more than 5,000 people!
Recruiting and assimilating the puppet army was a way to quickly expand the army.
The puppet army was usually formed by the original Central Army, Jinsui Army, or local anti-Japanese forces who betrayed the country and defected to the enemy. There were also some that were formed by the Japanese army. Most of the puppet troops had received a certain amount of military training, which was much better than ordinary recruits. With a little training and loyalty, they could become strong soldiers.
Therefore, the puppet soldiers were a good source of manpower.
Li Yunlong thought for a moment and said,""Feng Lan, I'll leave this matter to you. Get in touch with this Chen Weiguang! Let's see if he's willing to rebel!”
Bai Fenglan nodded and couldn't help but say with some concern,""Captain, Chen Weiguang is an independent regiment, and we only have one brigade. Even if they want to turn against us, they might choose to establish their own faction or rely on the Central Army or the Jinsui Army. They won't rely on a small troop like us, right?”
Generally speaking, it would be the small troops that sought support from the large troops. It was very rare for the large troops to be reorganized by the small troops!
"You don't need to consider this!”Li Yunlong's lips curled into a confident smile.""I have my ways!"
"Yes, sir!" Bai Fenglan replied. Then, she began to arrange for people to come into contact with Chen Weiguang!
Training the soldiers was the main task of the Dragon Soul Brigade. At the same time, they had to recruit the surrounding bandits and ambitious people to expand the strength of the Dragon Soul Brigade!
There wasn't much time left for Li Yunlong to grow. Once the Japanese found out about the Dragon Soul Team's strength, they would definitely send a large number of troops to encircle and suppress them!
After all, the Dragon Soul Battalion had taken down a reinforced squadron of the Japanese army.
The challenge that Li Yunlong was facing was not small!
…………
Guanghua Town was a small town in northwestern Shanxi. The town was located in a secondary strategic position, and the situation around it was very complicated. It was in the area where the Japanese army was sweeping.
The 358th Regiment of the Jinsui Army was stationed in Guanghua Town.
The 358th Regiment of the Jinsui Army was a strengthened regiment. The regiment commander Chu Yunfei had a total of 5,000 soldiers. He had four infantry battalions and one artillery battalion. In addition, there were also troops directly under the regiment headquarters.
The 1st Infantry Battalion was a reinforced battalion. The Battalion Commander, Qian Bojun, had 2000 men and was the main battalion of the 358th Regiment.
The 2nd Infantry Battalion was an ordinary infantry battalion, and its commander was Chen Deming!
The 3rd Infantry Battalion was an ordinary infantry battalion, and its commander was Huang Jie!
The commander of the Cannon Battalion was an ordinary Cannon Battalion, and the commander was Liang Guoping!
In addition, there were also regimental units, regimental guard squads, reconnaissance squads, and so on!
Chu Yunfei graduated from Huangpu Military Academy's fifth batch. He had shown outstanding talent and rationality in military theory. He was cultured, understood military affairs, could empathize with his subordinates, and could faithfully execute orders. He had strategic vision, and was also a fast and sharpshooter!
Regiment 358.
Chu Yunfei was looking at the battle map in front of him, analyzing the current situation of the enemy and himself, preparing for the next battle plan.
At this moment, an urgent voice sounded.
"Guild Leader, Guild Leader!"
Then, a scholarly looking man wearing glasses and a military uniform walked in.
This bespectacled man in the military uniform who hurried in was called Fang Ligong. He was the advisor of the 358th Regiment and was an old partner of Chu Yunfei.
"Guild Leader, I've figured it out!" Fang Ligong came to Chu Yunfei and said,""During the battle at the Gray Cloud Ridge, the new regiment of the 386th Brigade of the 129th Division of the 8th Route Army defeated the Sakata Regiment.”
"Li Yunlong?" Chu Yunfei listened and thought about it carefully. He searched his mind for Li Yun Long's memories, but he couldn't think of anything."Where did this Li Yunlong come from? Whampoa definitely didn't have such a person in the first five episodes, or was he from the military academy's lecture hall?”
"Regimental commander, only a handful of people from the Eighth Route Army have ever attended a military school. This Li Yunlong should be from a humble background!"”
"A peasant? Not simple!" Chu Yunfei sighed," With those few broken guns and thousands of people from the Eighth Route Army, they were able to defeat the Sakata United Army. Their tactical command ability is really not simple!"”
Chu Yunfei had experienced the combat strength of the Sakata United Team. Back in Luye, the 358th Regiment had fought with the Sakata United Team and was almost wiped out!
Fang Ligong hesitated for a moment before continuing,"Regiment Commander, according to our spies in the 8th Route Army, this Li Yunlong was expelled from the 8th Route Army for disobeying orders on the battlefield!”
"What is it? He was expelled from the Eighth Route Army?" When Chu Yunfei heard this, he looked at Fang Ligong in disbelief and asked,""Is the news reliable?"
"It's reliable!" Fang Ligong nodded.
Chu Yunfei placed his hands behind his back and kept walking with his head lowered. After a long silence, he sighed heavily and said,"The Eighth Route Army doesn't know how to cherish talent!"
P.S. It's Monday today, and I've been writing until 1:30 am.
