After a month of training and passing various tests, the synthetic battalion was officially formed.
From this day onwards, the new regiment had a fourth battalion on top of the original three battalions. The unit number was the new regiment's synthetic battalion.
The other battalion commanders of the new regiment who had joined the synthesis battalion for training also returned to their posts with their respective core members.
The official composition of the combined battalion was maintained at around seven hundred people.
Although the companies of the synthetic battalion did not have tanks, armored vehicles, or some individual heavy firearms, their combat strength had already surpassed the other companies of the new regiment.
If the heavy artillery company was added, the coordination between the infantry and artillery would be quite powerful.
After a month of intensive training, the other battalions of the new regiment had familiarized themselves with the new weapons and equipment. Coupled with the general-purpose machine guns assigned to their classes, their combat effectiveness had increased significantly.
This made Li Yunlong restless.
However, the weather in North China was already quite cold. The Japanese were all hiding in their strongholds and counties. Li Yunlong wanted to find a fighter jet, but it was not that fast.
On the second day after the training, the new regiment announced that they would rest for two days after a month of training.
Early in the morning, Li Yun Long dragged Ye Ming to the headquarters.
Since the Japanese didn't come out, Li Yunlong set his eyes on the Japanese strongholds around Taihang Mountain.
"Huting Stronghold has more than 300 Japanese and a puppet army. It is the largest stronghold around Pingan County.
Wanjia Town had more than a hundred Japanese soldiers and a regiment of puppet soldiers. However, it was relatively close to Zhengtai Road, so they needed to end the battle quickly.
There are also more than a hundred Japanese in the mountain pass stronghold. According to intelligence, this stronghold has recently stockpiled some supplies, and there aren't many puppet troops…"
On the map, Li Yunlong pointed out the situation of all the Japanese in the vicinity.
Winter was approaching. In the past month, the surrounding areas were relatively calm and there were no major conflicts. It seemed that everyone was preparing for the cat winter.
Li Yunlong's intention was obvious. He wanted to take advantage of the cold weather to fight the Japanese and test the new regiment's current combat strength. It was also a kind of actual combat training.
In fact, the surrounding strongholds were like meat in the New One's mouth.
Now, Li Yunlong could eat whichever one he wanted.
After all, they had expanded their main force, and the new regiment now had more than three thousand soldiers. Their morale was high.
"Right now, the wolf cubs below are all howling and want to fight with the Japanese. What I mean is that we can train our troops and store more supplies at the same time. This winter will be more comfortable.”
Ye Ming naturally did not object to Li Yun Long's idea. As long as the new regiment did not attack Ping An County, it would be easy for them to attack the outpost's turrets.
In addition, the soldiers of the new regiment had been trained and educated. They couldn't wait to fight the Japanese.
"Old Li, how do you want to fight?" Ye Ming asked.
"My idea is that I will lead the 2nd Battalion to destroy the Huting Stronghold. Old Ye, you will lead the synthetic battalion to take care of Wan Jia Town. Zhang Dabiao will lead the 1st Battalion to the mountain pass Stronghold.”
"This is the entire regiment. We have to ask the brigade commander.”Ye Ming said.
"Of course, that's why I need you to talk to the brigade commander. I know his temper. He won't agree to such a big operation unless it's necessary.”Li Yunlong said sneakily.
Everyone in the 8th Route Army was grateful for the Chinese Overseas Salvation Organization, especially the troops that had received weapons, equipment, and supplies from the headquarters. They all sent people to the new regiment to express their gratitude to Ye Ming and even returned many gifts.
In Li Yunlong's opinion, even in the entire 129th Division, no one could speak as easily as Ye Ming.
Ye Ming thought for a moment before walking to the phone and answering the call.""This is Ye Ming, get me the brigade commander.”
The call was quickly connected, and Chen Geng's voice appeared on the receiver. Ye Ming said,"" Brigade Commander, I'm Ye Ming. It's like this…"
After hearing Ye Ming's battle plan, Chen Geng readily agreed.
However, Ye Ming had to be careful of the Japanese in the nearby counties. They might retaliate.
After hanging up, Ye Ming said to Li Yun Long,""Old Li, I won't be participating in the operation this time. I'll leave the command of the synthetic battalion to you. As for the 2nd battalion, let the 2nd Battalion Commander command it himself.”
Li Yunlong asked curiously,""Are you planning to act on your own?"
Ye Ming nodded." You know that I'm training a small team. I was planning to take this team to destroy a prisoner of war camp in the next two days."”
"Alright, leave Wan Clan Town to me. You can do it yourself.”Li Yun Long also remembered that Ye Ming had asked the intelligence department about the Japanese prisoner of war camp a while ago, so he said.
"Alright, we'll go down and prepare.”Ye Ming looked at the time and said,"The earlier we act, the earlier we end, and the earlier we can come back for dinner.”
After that, Li Yunlong gathered the battalion commanders to deploy the combat missions, while Ye Ming also gathered the small team that had been training for more than ten days.
This team was trained by Ye Ming using the special forces training card, and they started training almost at the same time as the synthetic battalion.
There were currently 18 people in the squad, so there were still two slots for the top-class special forces training card.
It wasn't that Ye Ming didn't want to use these two spots, but he had only selected these eighteen people from the entire new team.
Ten of them were originally soldiers of the new regiment, and the other eight were selected from the new recruits.
Smart, agile, talented, and with a certain level of physical fitness, there weren't many people who possessed all of these.
After Ye Ming entered the camp, he announced his plan. In less than a minute, eighteen fully armed soldiers stood in front of him.
Among the eighteen warriors, four of them were the most eye-catching because they looked exactly the same. They were rare quadruplets.
The four brothers had been hunting in the mountains with their father since they were young. They had a very good foundation in marksmanship. In addition to their superb hunting skills and survival skills in the mountains, they were also very smart and agile. That was why they were chosen by Ye Ming.
The four brothers formed two sniping teams, and the other fourteen people also had their own distinct characteristics and strengths.
