"Take a look. It's a telegram from Rong City this morning!!”
At three o'clock in the afternoon, all the officers stationed at the border of Guangyi County arrived. They all looked stronger than before, and they all looked like they had good food.
"We can now confirm that Lin Tianhong has already decided to send an infantry division south. The only places worth invading in the south are Dongshan, Panhua, and Guangyi. Even if Panhua and Dongshan do not have any resistance, the infantry division will definitely split up.”
After reading the telegram, everyone was not worried. They had been holding it in for too long in the past few months. If they did not fight soon, they would really rust.
Although there was live ammunition training every day, it was not a war after all.
Moreover, there were many new recruits in the independent regiment who had never been on the battlefield before. If they rashly went on the battlefield, would their hands tremble? Would they not be able to display their original training standards? Therefore, actual combat was the best training.
The location of Guangyi was very important. The south was Diannan, and the east was Qianzhou. Since Guangyi had sent troops, Guangyi County had become the largest county in the southwest of Sichuan. Therefore, Li Yao would never give up this place.
Over the past few months, under Li Yao's leadership, the Guangyi Group's internal economic development had expanded rapidly. It had already created a considerable influence in the southern region. More and more news about Panhua County and Dongshan County merging with the Guangyi Group was spreading.
However, Li Yao had never asked.
.....................................................
Naturally, it was because Guangyi did not have enough strength yet. Taking in the other two counties would bring about a huge population burden. At that time, only the people of Guangyi would be able to enjoy the policy of benefiting the people, while others would not be able to enjoy it. There might be riots.
It was better to close the gap like this.
Of course, if people from nearby towns wanted to find a job in Guangyi, Li Yao would naturally welcome them…
"Regiment Commander, we have the advantage in defensive battles. There are many mountain roads here in Guangyi. If we can make use of the terrain advantage and use mines, heavy machine guns, or grenade launchers to catch Lin Tianhong's men off guard, we will be able to win this battle!”
" With the current development of Guangyi, the Independent Regiment has to fight a war. No matter which direction it develops in the future, the rise of the Independent Regiment is bound to be feared by all sides. Diannan Wang Chuanyao and Rong City Lin Tianhong. If we don't fight, they will only play tricks in other places. If we want to fight, we have to win a beautiful victory!!”
The Independent Regiment's Chief of Staff, Liu Zhang, was not worried. These few days, he had discussed with the Regiment Commander many times in the Regiment Headquarters about how many troops would be needed if Rong City's troops attacked Guangyi.
If it was an elite troop, the firepower configuration would be the same as the independent regiment, and they would also have to consider the terrain and the defense of the independent regiment. Li Yao had increased the number to 10,000!!
The Independent Regiment alone had more than 2,000 soldiers. With the addition of the reserve force, it would be even more difficult to attack Guangyi.
Moreover, these Battalion Commanders who were currently overseeing a region definitely had more soldiers under them than the soldiers reported at the end of the year. However, the regiment commander had turned a blind eye to this.
"Old Liu is right. A large group of troops will definitely not take those narrow mountain roads. This way, we only need to set up an ambush on some key roads.”
"Guild Leader, let's fight. If we don't fight, any cat or dog will be able to pee on Guangyi's territory!!”
The battalion commanders also strongly advocated for war. There was no other reason than the fact that the firepower configuration of the Independent Regiment was no worse than that of the other units. Especially the configuration of heavy machine guns. The regiment commander had spent a lot of money. Each platoon had a Maxim heavy machine gun. At the same time, the 50mm caliber grenade launcher had been allocated to the infantry company. It was a more flexible individual combat weapon and a more powerful firepower configuration. In the past few months, with the increase in production capacity of the Shanshan Armament Factory, the configuration of the Independent Regiment had been improved. It was also slowly moving closer to Xi Yuan's strong army.
Li Yao looked around. Right now, he finally had the capital to fight for hegemony in this chaotic world. Whether it was Lin Tianhong of Rong City or Wang Chuanyao of Diannan City, if they wanted to swallow Guangyi's industrial achievements, they would have to carefully consider the counterattack of the Independent Regiment.
This was an iron-blooded army equipped with standard military equipment, not some bandit army...
"Now that everyone is thinking the same thing as me, as the regimental commander, I will cut to the chase. I know that you guys have made a fortune in the past few months. According to the distribution list sent to me by Mount Tang Armament Factory every month, your infantry battalions don't have enough bullets and rifles.。”
A few Battalion Commanders and Vice Battalion Commanders were also smiling foolishly.
" Leader, I really can't hide anything from you…"
"Regiment Commander, the 1st Battalion has expanded to at least 8 infantry companies. Damn it, Old Wang and I have only managed to get 6 infantry companies. That Zhou Ren kid has been pestering Mount Tang Armory every month.”
When the second battalion commander Wang Song heard that the regiment commander had no intention of blaming him, he revealed everything. Eight infantry companies, compared to the original three infantry companies, there were five more infantry companies.
Even Li Yao was shocked when he heard the news. Good lord, eight infantry companies already had nearly a thousand people. If the battalion-level grenade launchers, heavy machine gun squads, communication squads, and battalion guard platoons were included, the total number of people would directly reach 1,500.。
Damn it, I only have two thousand people in my regiment, and this battalion is equivalent to a regiment.。
Staring at Zhou Ren, Li Yao took a long look.
The population of 50 million people in Western Sichuan was indeed not to be trifled with.
The speed of pulling people was too shocking.
"Regiment commander, I can't do anything about it. You know that the 1st Battalion is not only busy with training, but they also have to help the villagers. If the construction sites are busy, we also have to help.”
The commander of the 1st Battalion, Zhou Ren, also scratched his head and smiled foolishly. He did not want to be so high-profile, but there were too many people. He had to take them in and arrange for them.。
"Zhou Ren, you're going to be a fucking regiment commander. Eight infantry companies, all of you are really rich.。”
Liu Zhang was naturally happy. These brats were even more hidden than he had thought. The strength of the Independent Regiment was now close to 5,000 people, and this was not counting the reserve forces of the various towns...
If one were to count them, the number of troops would be even greater.。
" Leader, this time it's Lin Tianhong's turn to curse. If Rong City finds out that so many people suddenly appeared…"
