"Are we really going to let him be the director of the bedding factory?”
"Don't think about it anymore."
At the Eighth Route Army headquarters, the deputy commander-in-chief and deputy chief of staff were still discussing Li Yunlong.
Of the two, one wanted to punish Li Yunlong angrily, while the other felt that the merits and demerits were equal. Fortunately, the Deputy Chief of Staff had always been gentle and never impatient, so he laughed and talked to the Deputy Commander-in-Chief.
Although they were arguing, the atmosphere was good.
Although these two people had the word deputy in their names, they were both people with real power and held military and political power.
" This kid is good for war. He's very good at using it and has a strong ability to lead troops. However, I can't let this disobedience habit of his get the better of him. Even if he takes down the Emperor of Japan, I'll still punish him for disobeying orders. Otherwise, something will happen sooner or later."
"However…"
The commander-in-chief suddenly paused and said in a puzzled tone,"
"The battle report sent by the new regiment this time is very strange."
" Confronting the Sakata United Army head-on, taking advantage of the enemy's superior firepower and numbers, defeating the Sakata United Army head-on, killing Nobutetsu Sakata, and wiping out no less than 300 Japanese soldiers. If we calculate the casualties, the Japanese soldiers are probably no less than 600."
" This record has been confirmed by the people behind the enemy lines."
"And the casualties of the new regiment are only 350 people, and the actual number of casualties is only a little more than 200."
" In an offensive battle, facing a permanent division of the Japanese army, even Li Yunlong with three heads and six arms would not be able to deal with a casualty ratio of one to two."
As the commander-in-chief, he naturally knew the difference between the enemy and himself.
In his battle plan, if it was a defensive battle, the Japanese's half-formed brigade would have about 500 people. They would need a 1,000-man main force of the 8th Route Army. If it was a full-formed 1,000-man brigade, then they would need the top main force, such as Li Yunlong's regiment, 772 regiment, or two to three other regiments to stop them.
As for attacking, without ten times the number of troops and sufficient weapons and ammunition, he could not even be bothered to think about it. Unless they set up an ambush, took advantage of the terrain, and had more than five times the number of troops.
It couldn't be helped. The difference in firepower between the two armies was too great.
Excluding the artillery, the firepower of the Japanese was more than ten times that of the Eighth Route Army. If he counted the artillery, he would be finished.
The entire Eighth Route Army did not have any decent cannons at all. Only the headquarters had a mountain cannon company directly under them. There were six old mountain cannons, but each shell needed the approval of a division commander before it could be fired. One could imagine how scarce it was.
" I also find this strange. Li Yunlong is a good fighter, but isn't this guy too good at fighting?" The deputy chief of staff also noticed the strangeness of the new regiment's battle report.
Their firepower was inferior, their military strength was inferior, and the other party was not a useless puppet army. Moreover, it was an offensive battle. It was acceptable to win, but it was incomprehensible and unacceptable to win so completely.
"Although this kid is disobedient and likes to cause trouble, it's common for him to violate the rules. However, he definitely won't lie about the results of the battle. I can confirm this."
The deputy commander knocked on the table and said,"Go to the New Regiment and investigate the specific situation. At the same time, warn him and let him reflect on himself in the clothing factory."
"Are we really going to let him go?" The deputy chief of staff began to pack up and hand over his work with a smile. He tacitly agreed to the commander-in-chief's punishment for Li Yunlong.
" We can't let him get away with it this time." The deputy commander-in-chief slammed the table hard.
" Then let Ding Wei come back and take over the new regiment. The two of them used to be comrades. Ding Wei is also very capable, so it will be easier to hand over the troops," the deputy chief of staff nodded and suggested.
"What do we do after that? He couldn't possibly be allowed to stay in the clothing factory forever, right? After a pause, the deputy chief of staff asked," Moreover, if the new regiment is handed over to Ding Wei and then Li Yunlong…"
During wartime, changing regimental commanders too frequently would affect the combat effectiveness of the army.
"Let's talk about this later. Let him be honest for a few months first, or bring forward the plan of the new second regiment?”The deputy commander-in-chief stroked his slightly bearded chin.
According to the plan, the 129th Division would form the new 2nd Regiment in half a year.
" Hmm, that's a good idea. Li Yunlong is very capable. He might be a new regiment. Ding Wei won't let the new regiment collapse," said the deputy general staff.
······
"Regiment Commander, the Deputy Chief of Staff said that he would come over to inspect our regiment later. He will arrive in half an hour."
The signalman brought a piece of news to Li Yunlong.
The 129th Division was a group operation, and the distance between the various units was not far. The new regiment's base was very close to the headquarters, only about 20 kilometers away. Moreover, the road in the middle was flat, and they could arrive in about half an hour on horseback.
"The Deputy Chief of Staff is coming?"
Li Yunlong was stunned for a moment, then he quickly realized that this was not good news.
Inspecting the subordinate regiments was done by the brigade commander. At most, it was the division commander.
