Along the way, Li Congjing commanded the troops to take the spoils and retreat to the Black Cloud Stronghold while the devils in Pinglu did not notice them.
With the support of the small team sent by Lin Dahai, everyone quickly and safely retreated to the Black Cloud Stronghold.
More than 1,500 soldiers of the 358th Regiment of the Jinsui Army who were willing to follow Li Congjing and the others to the Black Cloud Stronghold looked at the Black Cloud Stronghold and found that it was located in the dense mountains north of Pinglu. The terrain was hidden, easy to defend and difficult to attack. The Grass Shoes Ridge and the Small Sharp Mountain on both sides of the mountain pass firmly protected the pass between the two mountains.
"It seems that Officer Li's troops have occupied a good place!”The experienced soldiers of the Jinsui Army thought to themselves.
The Black Cloud Stronghold had a steep terrain, easy to defend and difficult to attack. The two mountains, Grass Shoes Ridge and Small Sharp Mountain, firmly controlled the mountain pass between the two mountains.
Moreover, when the soldiers of the Suijin Army passed by, they discovered that the two mountains on both sides of the mountain pass were continuously hollowed out to build hidden and solid firing points.
Even with heavy artillery bombardment, without a cannon with a caliber of more than 200 millimeters, it would be difficult to conquer the Black Cloud Stronghold's mountain pass!
Li Congjing was finally relieved after retreating. Of course, Li Congjing didn't know what the soldiers of the Jinsui Army were thinking after seeing the camp at the mountain pass. Even if he knew, it was nothing.
Black Cloud Stronghold, Tiger Hall!
"Brothers, rest and recuperate. Wei Da Yong and the rest, come to the command room for a meeting in an hour!”Seeing that everyone was a little tired and that it was almost eight o'clock in the evening when they returned to the Black Cloud Stronghold, Li Congjing waved his hand and said.
Wei Da Yong, Luo Tong, and the others were already a little tired. After all, the round trip had taken at least four to five hours. They were already a little exhausted!
Everyone didn't argue and returned to their resting rooms to rest.
As for the 1,500 soldiers of the original 358th Regiment of the Suijin Army who had retreated to the Black Cloud Stronghold, Li Congjing arranged for them to rest in dozens of rooms behind the Black Cloud Stronghold.
Fortunately, Xie Baoqing was a bandit who knew how to enjoy life. There were at least fifty rooms built on the mountain, and the area was very large. If tens of thousands of people came up, as long as there was no shortage of wood, the rooms could be built at any time.
Li Congjing was also relieved. After a simple meal, he rested for an hour.
About an hour later, in the independent battalion headquarters behind the Tiger Hall of the Black Cloud Stronghold! Wei Dayong, Li Congjing, Luo Tong, Lin Dahai, and the others had already gathered together to discuss the reorganization of the Jin Suijun soldiers.
Wei Da Yong chuckled and slapped his horse."That's because Battalion Commander is a powerful commander. Otherwise, our brothers wouldn't dare to think of using 300 soldiers to attack Li Clan Town!”。
"That's right, this is all the credit of Battalion Commander!”Second Company Commander Luo Tong also laughed loudly and complimented!
Third Company Commander Lin Dahai said,"Once Battalion Commander makes a move, we'll know if there's anything!" Hahaha!"
Li Congjing blushed in embarrassment when everyone complimented him.
Li Congjing smiled." I'm not boasting, but I don't have the strength of my brothers to run and attack. I persevered to the end and fought bravely. This time, we're in a bit of danger. After all, Qian Bojun's troops have a reinforced battalion of two thousand men. "If we didn't take down Qian Bojun's battalion and captured Qian Bojun and the others, it's unknown whether we could return to the Black Cloud Stronghold!”。
Everyone nodded. It was indeed a little dangerous at that time. Fortunately, after capturing Qian Bojun and the others, Li Congjing and the others used Qian Bojun and the others as hostages to force the Jinsui Army troops of the 358th Regiment to surrender.
As expected, most of Qian Bojun's soldiers did not expect Qian Bojun and the others to bring them to join the Japanese. Fortunately, most of Qian Bojun's soldiers hated the Japanese. Li Congjing had brought a group of prisoners to kill a squadron of Japanese soldiers in Death Valley. The results of the battle shocked most of the soldiers of the 358th Regiment.
At this moment, Luo Tong said,"Battalion Commander, we've brought back more than 1500 soldiers of the Jinsui Army. Then we will have more than 1,800 soldiers! Independent Battalion, the establishment is no longer good!"
When Luo Tong said this, he reminded Li Congjing of the problem of the organization on the way back.
"Luo Tong reminded me!"
Li Congjing nodded." Our military strength has suddenly increased. We now have more than 1,800 soldiers. It's already the strength of a regiment." Now, it was called an independent battalion. The establishment was not enough!”。
"Then Battalion Commander, why don't we just expand it into an independent regiment?”Lin Dahai laughed.
Wei Da Yong, who was familiar with Li Yun Long's Independent Regiment, said,""We are less than ten miles away from the Black Cloud Stronghold. The Eighth Route Army's Independent Regiment is on our side. If we were to expand into an independent regiment, it would be a little awkward!”。
"Not bad! Haha!"
"Battalion Commander, why don't we call it the Tiger Troop? This way, we won't be troubled by the number of troops because of the increase in the number of troops! No matter how many troops the Tiger Troop had, they could do it!”Luo Tong suddenly chuckled and suggested.
When Li Congjing and the others heard that, their eyes lit up. Luo Tong, this kid's suggestion was not bad!
As for the various divisions under the Tiger Troop, they could directly expand the strength of each division. Each battalion would be called a battalion, and each regiment would be called a regiment. This would solve the problem of what the name of the entire unit would be when the strength of the troops increased at any time.
Seeing that everyone had agreed, Li Congjing suddenly stood up and raised his fist to smash the table. He said,""Then from today onwards, our independent battalion will be called the Tiger Troop! As for the divisions under your jurisdiction, according to the current situation, your companies will be expanded into battalions! Wei Ming, you can pick out the soldiers who used to operate the cannons from the soldiers of the Jin Sui Army who came back and form an artillery battalion!”。
"Yes, sir!" Everyone stood up and said!
At this time, it was no longer appropriate to call Li Congjing Battalion Commander. It was not inappropriate to directly call him Sir.
