Bright Sword: We Li Yunlong are fighting elites

Chapter 237: The Army Departs!
This time the brigade commander did not break his promise, and the [-] supplementary soldiers promised to the new regiment were all in place soon.

And to Li Yunlong's surprise, these [-] people were not pure recruits, but were drawn from county brigades and district teams from various places.

These fighters are much better than those pure recruits. They are all the elites of the county brigade and district squad, and have certain combat experience.

Of course, compared with the fighters of the main force, they still have a certain gap, but no matter what, they are better than those recruits.

"Haha~!"

Li Yunlong laughed happily and said: "I didn't expect the brigade commander to be so interesting this time, so that we can recover some strength."

Zhao Gang said: "The brigade commander dispatched us [-] people, and during this time we have also recruited more than [-] new recruits, counting the previous veterans, and now the total strength of our new regiment has once again exceeded [-]. "

Li Yunlong nodded and said: "Although it is a little worse than before, we have recovered some strength, and we can continue to expand our troops when we reach Luzhou, and we will soon be able to restore our previous strength, or even completely more than the previous force."

Li Yunlong is very confident about this, because as long as he has enough weapons and equipment, he has money and food, so he will not worry about not being able to recruit recruits.

Now that the country is in crisis, many passionate young people are still very willing to serve as soldiers. After all, only a few are willing to be slaves to the subjugated country.

What's more, now that wars continue and people live in dire straits, many poor people don't even have enough food to eat, and they can't even wear a decent piece of clothing.

People across the country die of freezing and starvation every day. Therefore, many poor people may choose to join the army simply because they want to have a full meal and survive.

There are not a few such people, and after these people have been trained, they may not be worse than others on the battlefield.

Just like when Li Yunlong and the others were in Hubei, Henan and Anhui, in fact, most of them chose to serve as soldiers because they were too poor to survive.

These people who are alive now have basically become the backbone of the Eighth Route, and even like Li Yunlong and the others, they have become regimental leaders, and even moved to higher positions.

The population in Luzhou is relatively dense, and Li Yunlong is not worried about not being able to recruit soldiers.

Zhao Gang was also very happy, and said: "The task entrusted to us by our superiors this time is still very arduous. With enough strength, then we will have confidence."

Li Yunlong said with a serious face: "These days we have almost prepared, if there are no accidents, we have to set off as soon as possible."

Zhao Gang nodded and said, "I agree!"

Three days later, Li Yunlong led the whole regiment to set off, and the [-] army marched in the direction of Luzhou mightily.

Two days later, the troops arrived at the edge of the base area, and further forward, it was the enemy-occupied area.

Li Yunlong, Zhao Gang and others climbed to the top of a mountain and looked up. Li Yunlong smiled and said: "The scenery here is not bad!"

Zhao Gang couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "It's a pity that this great river and mountain has fallen into the hands of Japanese pirates."

Li Yunlong smiled and said: "Don't worry, this area will be recovered by us soon."

Li Yunlong is also confident about this.

Zhao Gang couldn't help reminding: "The enemy situation here is relatively complicated, not to mention that we are newcomers, it is best to establish a firm foothold first, and then seek big development."

Li Yunlong nodded slightly, and said: "Of course, take every step, step by step, so as not to fall."

"Map~!"

Duan Peng immediately took out a map, unfolded it and presented it to Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang.

Li Yunlong stared at the map and said, "First of all, we need to find a place to stay."

"The order given to us by our superiors is to open up new base areas."

"Of course we can't stay in the old base, I can't afford to lose this person."

"Our garrison has to go deep into the enemy-occupied area."

"Old Zhao, do you have any ideas?"

Zhao Gang said: "I knew you would say that a long time ago, and I have considered this issue before."

"I think this place is nice."

Zhao Gang pointed at the map as he spoke.

Li Yunlong glanced at Zhao Gang's fingers, and said with a smile, "Xiantang Mountain? This is indeed a good place."

Zhao Gang said: "As I said just now, we have to establish a firm foothold first, and then further develop our base."

"Although most of this area is occupied by the enemy, there are also our guerrilla areas."

"The Xiantangshan area is one of our guerrilla areas. As far as I know, there are two guerrilla groups in the vicinity. The scale is not too large. The two guerrilla groups add up to more than [-] people. "

"And they are active in the Xiantangshan area, so our Eighth Road has a certain influence here, and the mass base should be good."

"Besides, the terrain around Xiantang Mountain is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack. We can definitely take root here."

"If the little devils raid, we don't have to worry at all with these mountains as our support."

Li Yunlong said with a smile: "We can be regarded as heroes who see the same thing!"

"I also plan to go to Xiantang Mountain, not just for the reason you just said."

"The most important thing is that it's not too far from Xiangyuan City. After we gain a firm foothold, this Xiangyuan will be a piece of meat in our mouths. I can eat it whenever I want."

"In addition, from Xiantang Mountain to the west, forty miles away, is the road from Luzhou to Jinzhong. This is also the most important passage connecting Luzhou to Jinzhong."

"Most of the logistics department of the little devil in Luzhou area will pass through this road."

"It's only forty miles away. We can attack this highway at any time and intercept the devil's train."

"Hey~! It's only forty miles away. It's definitely enough time to run back and forth in one day and make an ambush along the way."

"And if we really attack Luzhou with all our strength in the future, this highway must also be cut off."

"So our future base areas will also develop along this highway. In this way, we will be able to kill the devils in the Luzhou area. As long as the time is right, we can kill them at any time."

Zhao Gang stared at the map for a while, nodded and said, "It's still the leader who has seen everything!"

Li Yunlong said unceremoniously: "That is, otherwise, can I be the head of this regiment?"

Zhao Gang smiled and said, "Then it's settled?"

Li Yunlong smiled and said: "It's getting late today, let's rest here overnight, eat and drink enough, and go directly to Xiantang Mountain tomorrow."

"it is good!"

Zhao Gang fully agreed.

Li Yunlong turned to Monk Wei and said, "Go, call Zhou Weiguo to me."

"Yes!"

Monk Wei quickly responded, turned and left.

Li Yunlong found a clean place and sat down, said with a smile: "The scenery here is nice, I will rest here for a while."

"Just so we can enjoy the afterglow of the sunset."

Li Yunlong lit a cigarette and smoked.

Zhao Gang turned around and took a look at Xi Mian, and said with a smile, "Alright, today's sunset must be beautiful, it's rare to be so leisurely, you might as well take a look."

Zhao Gang said and found a seat beside him and sat down.

"By the way, why did you call Zhou Weiguo here?"

Li Yunlong said: "Of course there is a task for him."

Seeing that Li Yunlong was trying to trick him, Zhao Gang didn't bother to ask, and lay down on the big rock leisurely, humming a song.

Zhao Gang is busy with work all day long, and it is also very hard work. There are not many leisure time like this.

Not long after, Zhou Weiguo came to the top of the mountain.

"Leader, political commissar! You have something to do with me."

Zhao Gang casually pointed at Li Yunlong, and said, "He's looking for something to do with you."

Li Yunlong smiled and said: "Wei Guo, there is indeed a task for you to arrange."

Hearing this, Zhou Weiguo regained his energy immediately, and quickly asked, "What mission is it?"

Li Yunlong said casually: "We plan to march towards Xiantang Mountain and establish a base in the vicinity of Xiantang Mountain. We will first gain a firm foothold and then seek development."

Zhou Weiguo said casually: "It should be so."

Li Yunlong continued: "I plan to lead the main force to set off tomorrow and rush to Xiantang Mountain. If everything is normal, I will arrive in the afternoon."

"I want your platoon to serve as the sharp knife platoon, one step ahead to open the way for the large troops."

Zhou Weiguo thought to himself, although this is a hard job, and it may not be a battle to fight, but it is also an opportunity to perform. If other platoons want to fight for this opportunity, they may not be able to win it.

Zhou Weiguo naturally understood that this was also an opportunity for Li Yunlong to show off on purpose.

Zhou Weiguo responded quickly: "Yes! I promise to complete the task."

Li Yunlong said with a smile: "It's no better than in our base area. You should be more careful along the way."

Zhou Weiguo quickly responded: "Leader, please rest assured, we will be careful."

Li Yunlong nodded in satisfaction, and said, "Then you go back and prepare. The main force will leave at seven o'clock tomorrow morning, and you will set off three hours earlier at four o'clock in the morning."

"Yes!"

Zhou Weiguo responded again, then turned and left.

Looking at the back of Zhou Weiguo leaving, Zhao Gang said with a smile: "You are so partial to Zhou Weiguo, aren't you afraid that someone will disobey you?"

Li Yunlong said with a smile: "Whoever dares to refuse, let him go to Zhou Weiguo."

"Monk, I heard that you had a fight with Zhou Weiguo two days ago."

Monk Wei chuckled and said, "Hey, I'm just exchanging ideas with him, not fighting."

"You know that I am the most honest. How could I do such a thing that violates discipline in fighting?"

Duan Peng sneered and said: "You are so fucking honest, the whole group thinks that Monk Hua is nothing. When I first came, this guy always bullied me."

"To bully Zhou Weiguo again now, it's not a thing."

Li Yunlong also scolded angrily: "Monk, you are talking nonsense, what are you, do you think I don't know?"

"Tell me! You fought with Zhou Weiguo, did you win?"
