Traveling through the sword to engage in military industry

"Chief of Staff Fang, do you think there's a possibility that the troops active in Heyuan are Li Yunlong's unit?" Chu Yunfei asked Fang Ligong after pondering for a moment.

"How is that possible? Commander, that's too incredible. Heyuan is hundreds of miles away from Yangcun. Why would Li Yunlong abandon the near and seek the far, running to such a distant place?" Fang Ligong shook his head like a rattle drum.

"The allocation of territory for the Eighth Route Army is very particular. The Independent Regiment is in Yangcun, so it's basically impossible for them to simultaneously operate in Heyuan, which is over a hundred miles away. That's against the rules."

Although Chu Yunfei inadvertently guessed the truth, he couldn't confirm it at all.

Just as Fang Ligong said, each unit has its own range of activity and doesn't just run around randomly. Otherwise, with so many soldiers, the problem of feeding them alone would cripple a unit.

Therefore, cross-regional development and combat were somewhat incredible in this era. Unless the Eighth Route Army launched a special operation, but what was there in Heyuan, this most marginalized city within a radius of hundreds of miles, that was worth the Eighth Route Army's attention, to the point of focusing their attack here?

"Is there any intelligence about troop concentrations near Heyuan County?" Chu Yunfei stared at the map and suddenly had a bold idea, "Could it be that the Eighth Route Army wants to take Heyuan County? Are they constantly cutting off the wings of Heyuan County? If that's the case, the reinforcements from Quanyang to support Heyuan would take at least two or three days to arrive. If they really attack here, Heyuan can't withstand the Eighth Route Army's siege with heavy artillery. After all, this is the weakest point in the defense of the Japanese devils within a radius of hundreds of miles."

Chu Yunfei silently calculated this matter in his mind, and then shook his head to deny it himself.

You must know that during this period, the power of the Japanese devils was still extremely large. Yoshio Shinozuka, in Jin, drove Yan Xishan and the Eighth Route Army to the mountainous areas. Losing a county town was a major failure that they would never tolerate, and they would have to find every possible way to take it back!

Therefore, it might not be a big problem for the Eighth Route Army to capture a county town, but the possibility of doing so without losing too many troops was not high. After losing it, the problem of withstanding the Japanese devils' crazy counterattack would be very big.

Therefore, even a super-regiment as strong as the 358th Regiment, which even had its own artillery battalion, would be helpless. It would be difficult to gain a foothold under the dual blows of the Japanese devils' indiscriminate bombing and ground attacks.

This is also why, in the past year or two, Ren Zhong had not considered the possibility of building a factory in the city for the Independent Regiment at all.

Unable to defend it, and also exposing one's own strength, this was the reason why Ren Zhong would never do a losing business.

Chu Yunfei couldn't figure it out, while on the other side, Li Yunlong was getting more and more energetic.

Commanding these two small units under his command to carry out raids day and night was really too enjoyable. The quality of the troops was high, and there was not a single straggler in them. Whether it was a forced march or combat, Lao Li could command them like an extension of his own arms.

The small 30-man sniper team was getting stronger and stronger in marksmanship. The lethality of this team against the Japanese devils exceeded any company that Lao Li had commanded before!

This is not an exaggeration. If the elite troops of the previous company eliminated one Japanese soldier for every 10 shots, this team could kill one Japanese soldier with a maximum of every 2 shots!

People like Wang Xikui were basically achieving a one-shot-one-kill level, with very few misses!

Now, what they were competing in was no longer 200-meter headshots, but choosing 400-meter headshots or 300-meter shots at the gunner in the turret's firing hole, a challenge of increased intensity.

Because a 200-meter headshot was already the most basic skill for every sniper, with almost no misses.

This efficient tactic, coupled with the increasingly skilled distance measurement techniques of the Flying Thunder Cannon team, allowed the hit rate of the Flying Thunder Cannon to also improve rapidly, achieving a qualitative leap from 30% to 60-70%.

The turrets around Heyuan County were not enough, and after running around Heyuan with them, Li Yunlong completely shut down Hirata Ichiro!

He concentrated all his strength back to Heyuan County for close defense, and repeatedly sent telegrams requesting tactical guidance.

Even the military police and the puppet army's plainclothes team still didn't get any valuable information, but suffered a lot in the face of the growing armed work team, losing dozens of members.

Zhang Dabiao divided the first company into groups of three or five and dispersed them, developing more than twenty villages. In these villages, at least seven or eight militiamen were developed in each, and at most, a squad could be pulled together.

In addition, with the two and a half district squadrons transformed from captured puppet troops, in just one month, Zhang Dabiao's one company quickly turned into a regular army of nearly one battalion and a guerrilla force of more than two companies, a gratifying situation.

If Ren Zhong hadn't asked them to keep a low profile, Zhang Dabiao couldn't help but raise the banner of the Independent Regiment and start recruiting soldiers and horses in Heyuan on a large scale.

Because after taking down the strongholds here, there were basically no obstacles in the mountainous areas outside the city to stop their development.

However, after Zhang Dabiao and the others developed in the field, they also realized that there was indeed no basis for large-scale development in Heyuan. The local people were even poorer than those in Yangcun. At least 90 out of 100 families had no surplus grain. If more troops were pulled together, Zhang Dabiao would not be able to solve the problem of feeding them.

Now, Zhang Dabiao had to find a way to transport the food for this large group of several hundred people from the regimental headquarters. If Ren Zhong hadn't prepared a logistics transport team composed of horses snatched from the cavalry battalion in advance, the problem of feeding them would have stumped them.

However, this was not a long-term solution. Compared to the local population of the base area, there were too many non-productive people. It was impossible to buy enough grain in the towns near the base area. This was also the most direct reason why the headquarters could not station too many troops.

Now, guarding the headquarters command center, in addition to a special service regiment, there were only the New First Regiment and the Independent Regiment on the periphery. Ren Zhong knew that the Independent Regiment would definitely not have the opportunity for great development by staying in Yangcun.

In the original space-time, the Independent Regiment developed into a super-large group with a scale of tens of thousands of people. It was precisely after breaking through and blossoming everywhere that it developed itself in the broader enemy-occupied areas.

Now, of course, there was no need to copy that forced model, but to actively expand outward bit by bit.

Heyuan was the experimental field for the first wave of development.

Here, Ren Zhong not only had to consider the construction of the Independent Regiment's arsenal, but also had to take into account the production and development of other aspects of people's livelihood, especially grain production. After all, everyone couldn't fight on an empty stomach.

"Brother Ren, you say it, we'll do it!" Although Lao Li didn't understand, it didn't prevent him from being a qualified tool person, and he immediately agreed.
