I am a wolf warrior

Kong Jie persuaded again: "Old Li, money is something outside of the body, people and territory are real."

Speaking of this meal, Kong Jie said again: "Old Li, you captured two county towns this time without firing a single shot. The area of ​​the Fuliangshan base area has more than doubled, and the population has also doubled. What's wrong with blood, you kid? If it were me, Old Kong, I would wake up laughing at night from my dreams."

"Who says a single shot hasn't been fired?" Li Yunlong said angrily, "Thousands of rounds of live ammunition were still consumed in Heyuan County! And I owe Chu Yunfei a big favor, mother."

Hearing this, Ding Wei and Kong Jie also reacted.

"Xiao Wang." Ding Wei said, "Didn't the fishing that night succeed?"

"It didn't work." Wang Ye said, "The devil has learned a lot, and no matter how much he teases, he can easily get out of the hole."

Ding Wei said: "Actually, this is normal. The Anti-Japanese War has been fought for five years. We are making progress, and so are the little devils. Although some tactics are effective, they can't always be used."

Wang Ye said: "That's right, I have to use other tactics in the future."

Ding Wei said: "Xiao Wang, and Lao Li, I just have something to tell you."

After a pause, Ding Wei continued: "The Brigadier recently taught Cheng Xiazi a trick to engage in a siege on Erqin Avenue. Judging from the results obtained by the [-]nd Regiment, this trick is still very effective against the devils who are shrinking their defenses. "

"Siege warfare?" Li Yunlong regained his energy and asked, "How to do it?"

Ding Wei said: "Cheng Xiazi's defense has natural flaws in the base area. Unlike us, there are tunnels extending in all directions to rely on, so we don't have to make it so complicated."

Li Yunlong said: "Hey, Lao Ding, just get to the point."

"Old Li, why are you in a hurry?" Ding Wei said angrily.

Wang Ye also joked with a smile: "The leader must have a daughter."

Li Yunlong stared at him and said, "How do you know that I only have daughters?"

Wang Ye covered his mouth and laughed, "Because impatient people usually have daughters."

Ding Wei and Kong Jie burst out laughing when they heard the words, but Ge Erdan and the other guards wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, their faces turned red.

"Don't worry about these useless things." Li Yunlong said to Ding Wei again, "Old Ding, tell me quickly, why are you besieged?"

Ding Weidao: "In a nutshell, the army was organized into countless small units, and they harassed the Japanese strongholds, county towns, and prefectures day and night, making them unable to eat and sleep restlessly. Over time, the devils and puppet troops will be directly dragged down by us, while our troops can be tempered and grown in the endless harassment, and after the new year, we can concentrate our forces to launch a tough battle to solve the problems of Ping'an County, Nao counties, and even Anhua, the prefectural city."

Speaking of this, Kong Jie quickly interrupted: "However, I declare in advance that Anhua County belongs to my base area of ​​Crouching Tiger Mountain. You two, Lao Ding and Lao Li, are not allowed to rob me."

"No one will snatch it from you." Ding Wei said with a dark face.

"However, Nao County and Sucheng in the north belong to me."

Li Yunlong quickly said: "Ping'an County belongs to our independent group."

Good guy, are they dividing up the territory in Northwest Shanxi?Do you really think devils don't exist?

Wang Ye couldn't help being amused, and said to himself, how would he feel if the devils from the No. 60 Ninth Division heard their conversation?Will it be mad?mad?

After a pause, Li Yunlong said again: "Old Ding, is this the siege?"

"That's it." Ding Wei nodded and said, "I think this method is very good."

Li Yunlong and Wang Ye looked at each other with a smile and said, "We have already used this method once."

Wang Ye went on to say: "It was this tactic that was used to crush the raid of the Second Guards Division before, but the strength and ambition of the Second Guards Division seriously did not match. As a result, we won twice in a row. After the Second Division suffered a loss, they were eager to get back the situation, and as a result, they made mistakes again and again, and we ate the bait for fishing, and it was a complete failure."

"Oh yes." Ding Wei slapped his thigh and said, "You guys are really similar."

Wang Yedao: "However, this time we don't need to divide into so many groups, we can directly use the battalion as a unit, which can not only ensure the combat effectiveness, but also achieve the purpose of actual combat training, and can even harass the little devils 24 hours a day, so that they I can’t eat well, I can’t sleep well, and I’m always on the verge of collapse.”

……

At the same time, at the Taiyuan First Army Headquarters.

After seeing the list of proposed officers submitted by Ryuichi Sakamoto, Hanagu was instantly amused.

Yoshio Iwamatsu, who was reading the battle plan submitted by the No.30 Sixth Division, asked, "Hanagu-kun, what are you laughing at? Are you laughing at the No.30 Sixth Division's plan?"

"No, no, no." Hua Guzheng waved his hands quickly.

"The one who made me laugh was Ryuichi Sakamoto, an idiot who knows nothing about heights and depths."

"Oh?" Yoshio Iwamatsu said with great interest, "What did Sakamoto-kun do so that you gave him such a high evaluation?"

"Your Excellency, look at this."

Hanagu was handing the list in front of Yoshio Iwamatsu.

Yoshio Iwamatsu couldn't help laughing after reading the list.

"Sakamoto-kun is really cute." Yoshio Iwamatsu said, "A small chief of staff, and just a newly promoted chief of staff, dares to recommend the three infantry regiments of the No. 60 Ninth Division to the headquarters. Candidates for the captain of the regiment and the captains of the nine infantry brigades, this guy is really arrogant."

"That's right." Hua Guzheng said, "I really think of myself as a character."

Yoshio Iwamatsu said: "Even I, I dare not decide on the candidates for all three infantry regiment captains before I have consulted Inoue-kun."

"Yes." Hua Guzheng said, "Mr. Inoue is the pride of the Inoue family."

However, as they talked, the smiles on the faces of the two old devils gradually disappeared.

Immediately afterwards, the faces of the two old devils showed deep thought.

Inoue Zhenwei is a child of the Inoue family, a typical noble child, and it must be difficult to get along with.

It is wishful thinking to make a division commander of noble origin obey him as a commander.

That being the case, it is better to support Sakamoto Ryuichi and Inoue Zhenwei overhead, so that he can firmly hold the No.60 Ninth Division in his own hands through Sakamoto Ryuichi.

At present, the strength of the First Army is only three divisions and two brigades.

If there is a division that does not listen to his greetings, his life as a commander will be difficult in the future.

Thinking of this, Yoshio Iwamatsu pondered and said: "Hanagu-kun, the three candidates recommended by Sakamoto-kun actually have a certain reason. There is an old saying in China, which is to know the shame and then be brave."

"What Your Excellency Commander said is very true." Hua Guzheng also immediately realized.

"I also think that the candidates recommended by Mr. Sakamoto are good enough to be qualified."

"Yoxi." Yoshio Iwamatsu nodded happily, and continued, "Then, the candidates for the nine infantry captains will be directly approved by the command of the headquarters, and the candidates for the three infantry regiment captains will be approved by the First Army Command." Report to the Front Army Command and the Army Headquarters in the name of the request for approval."

"Hay."

Chapter 424

Hua Guzheng paused and said: "Your Excellency, Commander, Sakamoto-kun has brought up his suggestion again. I think this suggestion is very reasonable, and it may really improve the combat effectiveness of the Imperial Association Army."

"The tax package proposal?" Yoshio Iwamatsu finally put down the battle plan in his hand.

"Yes, it is the tax package plan." Hanagu was handing the folder to Yoshio Iwamatsu, and said, "Simply put, it is to package the taxes of the guerrilla areas and bandit areas to the Imperial Association Army."

"In the future, the Royal Association Army will be responsible for collecting taxes."

"Half of the tax in the guerrilla zone is paid."

"The tax revenue from the bandit area will all go to the Royal Association Army."

"In this way, the Imperial Association Army, the Eighth Route Army, the Jinsui Army, and the Central Army will inevitably become sworn enemies."

"Once the tacit understanding between the Imperial Association Army and various resistance forces is broken, coupled with the drive of interests, the combat effectiveness of the Imperial Association Army will inevitably be greatly improved."

"The field battle may still not be counted on."

"But it should be more than enough for the Royal Association Army to defend the city."

"In this way, all the big cities, counties and traffic arteries in Shanxi except Taiyuan can be assigned the task of guarding the Imperial Association Army, and the Imperial Army can concentrate the powerful forces of three divisions and two brigades. Launch a large-scale mopping operation against any opponent."

While speaking, Yoshio Iwamatsu had also read the plan.

"Yoxi." Yoshio Iwamatsu said happily, "This is indeed a very good initiative."

After a pause, Yoshio Iwamatsu continued, "At least, it's worth trying."

Hua Guzheng glanced at the battle plan on Yoshio Iwamatsu's desk, and suddenly said: "Your Excellency, the probing and sweeping of Liao County and Li City will begin soon, and it is said that the reorganization work of the Seventh Division of the Imperial Association will also begin soon." It has been completed, how about temporarily seconding the Seventh Division of the Imperial Association to southeast Shanxi to participate in the mopping up?"

Yoshio Iwamatsu's expression changed when he heard the words.

"can."

……

In Ping'an County.

In the blink of an eye, another half month passed.

The time has come to late November of 1941.

Inoue Sadae, the head of the No.60 Ninth Division, is still on his way. After all, he is a son of aristocrats. It took a long time to say goodbye to friends, relatives and classmates in Tokyo.

After all, it is the battlefield, not tourism.

So during this period of time, Ryuichi Sakamoto still had the final say on the affairs of the No.60 Ninth Division.

With the sound of hurried footsteps, Igarashimi, the head of the communications section, walked in and reported, "Your Excellency, Chief of Staff, the official reply letter from the headquarters has arrived."

"is it?"

Ryuichi Sakamoto put down the pen in his hand and took the folder.

After quickly reading the document, Ryu Sakamoto was overjoyed for a while.

Unexpectedly, the candidates for the three regiment captains and nine battalion captains recommended by him were all passed, and the headquarters, front army headquarters, and even the army headquarters did not reject even one candidate.

For this result, Igarashi also felt unbelievable.

Ryuichi Sakamoto is just a chief of staff, and he has such a powerful energy.

Could it be that there is actually a powerful and unknown background behind the Chief of Staff?

But this is not important anymore, Igarashi has figured out anyway, starting from today, the No. 60 Ninth Division is actually the chief of staff Ryuichi Sakamoto has the final say.

Even if the head of the division, Inoue Zhenwei, came, he would be emptied.

Igarashi handed another order to Ryuichi Sakamoto.

"Your Excellency, Chief of Staff, this is an order from the headquarters."

"Okay, I see, Igarashi-kun, you go back first."

After sending Igarashi away, Ryuichi Sakamoto reached for the phone again.

"Moses, get me the Seventh Division of the Imperial Association. I'll find Pan Sang."

After a while, the phone was connected, and Ryuichi Sakamoto said in a deep voice, "Pan Sang, come here."

The division headquarters of the Pseudo Seventh Division was near the division headquarters of the No.60 Ninth Division. Less than a quarter of an hour later, Pan Ren walked in with his back bowed and a flattering expression on his face.

"Sakamoto Tai-kun, are you looking for me?"

Takashi Sakamoto hummed lightly, and asked, "Pan Sang, how is the training of the Seventh Division of the Imperial Association?"

Pan Rendao: "When we go back to Taijun Sakamoto, the queue has already moved a little bit, but the shooting training and actual combat training have not yet been carried out."

Shooting training requires live ammunition.

Actual confrontation training also requires blank ammunition.

However, the Japanese army not only strictly controlled the live ammunition, but also the blank ammunition with paper or wooden warheads. More than ten rounds of ammunition needed to be approved by Ryuichi Sakamoto.

"It's enough to have a queue, and there is no rush for shooting training."

After a pause, Ryuichi Sakamoto said again: "But now there is a chance."

"Opportunity?" Pan Ren asked with a slight twitch in his heart, "What does Mr. Sakamoto mean?"

Ryuichi Sakamoto handed over the order from the headquarters and said, "Take a look at this first."

Pan Ren took a cursory glance and said in astonishment, "Let us, the Seventh Division of the Imperial Association cooperate with the No.30 Sixth Division to carry out raids on Liao County and Licheng County?"

Pan Ren really didn't expect this.

Actually ran to Liao County and Li City to mop up?

"Yes, this is undoubtedly a good training opportunity."

Ryuichi Sakamoto said happily: "It may be difficult to implement some of your ideas in Northwest Shanxi, because the Jinsui Army and the Central Army cannot move, and the Eighth Route Army's defense is too tight. Start with Liao County and Licheng in the southeast of Shanxi, and you may get miraculous results."

"Hai." Pan Ren nodded.

……

Another week passed, and the time came to early December 1941.

Zhaojiazhuang is a small village in the northwest of Liao County, where forty or fifty families live.
