The new regiment had just gone through the battle at the Ashen Cloud Ridge, and the 200 soldiers who were able to survive such a battle against the elite Sakata Regiment could be said to be the elites of the new regiment.
If this group of elites were equipped with M1 Garand rifles, they would definitely be an awesome existence.
His combat strength was impressive.
The new regiment of soldiers was excited to have such an elite weapon.
They were eager to try.
Lin Zheng looked at Zhang Dabiao and said," Zhang Dabiao, assign this batch of M1 Garand rifles to me. Also, train and familiarize yourself with them in these two days!"”
"Two days later, I want all the soldiers in the new regiment to be able to fight!”
"Yes!" Zhang Dabiao replied loudly. I promise to complete the mission!"
Soon after.
The new regiment began to officially equip the M1 Garand rifle and undergo relevant training.
On the other side, Lin Zheng was not idle either.
He was researching how to build a base.
If a big tree did not even have roots, it would definitely not grow.
By the same logic, if a troop didn't even have a base to develop, it would be very difficult for them to develop and grow.
For example, if there were no factories, clothing factories, logistics bases, and so on, it would be difficult for the army to grow.
Lin Zheng did some research on Yunling Village, which was actually very suitable for building a base.
Five kilometers away from the entrance of Yunling Village, there was a Yunba River. This river was not very wide, only about five meters, but it could be used to build a good defense line.
Behind the Cloud Ridge Village was the Gray Cloud Ridge, which was a mountain range. Behind it was the Taihang Mountains.
There was a river in front and a mountain behind.
It was a good location.
Once the base of Yunling Village could no longer be defended, they could retreat to the Taihang Mountains of the Gray Cloud Ridge.
You can attack or defend.
However, there was a problem with Yunling Village, which was that it was relatively small. If the base area's population increased in the future and the army expanded, the small Yunling Village would definitely not be enough.
Therefore, during this period of building the base, he had to make a long-term plan.
In the next two days, Lin Zheng began to plan for the construction of Yunling Village's base.
According to Lin Zheng's idea, he wanted to include the villages near Yunling Village, such as Min Village, Longling Village, and Xinling Village, into the base of Yunling Village. He also wanted to build a defense system and a development plan for the base.
At the same time, Yunling Village, Min Village, Longling Village, Xinling Village, and other villages had relatively flat terrain. At the same time, the soil quality was not bad. It was very suitable for farming and the future construction of an arsenal, field hospital, military school, logistics base, and so on.
After two days of thinking and planning, the blueprint of Yunling Village's base area was completely drawn.
The next step was to build a base.
However, Lin Zheng's top priority was to expand the new team first.
First, they would target the puppet cavalry of Wan Jia Town!
In these two days, Lin Zheng had Zhang Dabiao train the new regiment to familiarize themselves with the M1 Garand rifle. On the other hand, he had arranged for scouts to scout the situation in Wan Jia Town.
According to the current information, Wanjia Town was a very important strategic town because it was located near the Zhengtai railway. It was responsible for the safety along the railway. Therefore, in addition to a cavalry battalion, there was also a Japanese squadron.
Normally, a Class A division's infantry squadron would have around 180 people, while Class C and Class B divisions would only have around 150 people.
Because Wanjia Town was a military town, the Japanese squadron stationed there was about 200 people.
Generally speaking, if the Eighth Route Army wanted to wipe out a Japanese team, it would require a battalion of troops. If they wanted to wipe out a squadron of the Japanese army, the main force of a regiment would be somewhat difficult in an ambush. The new troops would need more troops. If it was a tough battle, the number of troops needed would be even more.
After all, it was undeniable that the Japanese army's combat effectiveness and weapons were very strong.
However, now that the new regiment was equipped with the M1 Garand Rifle, coupled with proper command, it would not be a big problem for them to take down Wan Jia Town.
Early in the morning.
Lin Zheng immediately called Zhang Dabiao to his side and said,"Zhang Dabiao, gather the troops immediately. We're going to Wan Jia Town!”
"Captain, why are we going to Wan Jia Town?" asked Zhang Dabiao.”
Lin Zheng smiled and said,""Make a fortune!"
