Chapter 338: Gundam Prepares to Poach
Lijiazhuang,
After Gaoda led Qi Tongwei and others back here, everyone began their intensive and orderly work.
The base area under the jurisdiction of the independent column is vast, and there are countless things to deal with every day. The leading cadres of the column headquarters are extremely busy.
Gundam sat in the office, holding a document concerning the detailed organization of the newly formed heavy armored combined brigade.
All the personnel for the heavy combined brigade have been selected. Every soldier is a veteran who has experienced hundreds of battles, and their individual combat effectiveness is off the charts.
The newly formed heavy combined brigade has a total of 3 personnel, including three mechanized infantry regiments, a heavy artillery regiment, a tank regiment, and an engineering battalion.
The mechanized infantry regiment has 5000 men, for a total of more than 15,000 men.
The infantry regiment is equipped with extremely luxurious equipment: 400 trucks and 60 jeeps, providing the troops with the ability to maneuver quickly;
20 75mm mountain guns and 5 107 rocket launchers provided powerful fire support for the troops;
The entire regiment is equipped with 300 light and heavy machine guns, 120 platoon-level support mortars, 4000 semi-automatic rifles, and 300 submachine guns. These equipment make the infantry regiment more powerful on the battlefield.
The heavy artillery regiment has 3000 people, equipped with 50 155mm large-caliber cannon howitzers and 20 105mm howitzers, and 450 heavy trucks, providing the heavy artillery regiment with the ability to move quickly; a 1500-person guard team ensures the safety of the heavy artillery regiment.
The tank regiment has 2000 people, equipped with 200 tanks and 50 trucks,........
........
Gundam sat in the office, and the adaptation plan in his hand filled his heart with satisfaction and expectation.
The formation of the heavy combined brigade represents a qualitative leap in the combat effectiveness of the independent column.
He seemed to have seen that this unit was invincible on the battlefield and could easily win even when facing the Japanese's Class A division.
After putting down the documents, Gundam stood up and stretched.
He walked out of the command center and sat down in the yard outside, enjoying the spring sunshine.
The weather in April was still a little cold, and the warmth of the sun made him feel comfortable.
Not long after lying down, Qi Tongwei hurried into the yard and headed towards the command center.
When he caught a glimpse of Gundam lying in the yard, he stopped, turned and walked towards Gundam.
"Commander, there is news from headquarters that the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army Observation Group wants to observe our independent column."
Gaoda opened his eyes and stared at Qi Tongwei. There was a hint of interest in his eyes: "Oh, the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army Observation Group actually acted so quickly. Who is the leader of the observation group?"
Qi Tongwei replied: "Commander, the leader is Fu Zuoyi, a senior general of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army."
"It turned out to be Fu Zuoyi,"
Gao Da was surprised. He sat up straight from the recliner and said, "I heard that he is a fierce general in the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army. I must meet him."
He was no stranger to Fu Zuoyi, the future King of North China. This man had great military talent and was a rare senior commanding talent in the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army.
"Political Commissar, give the orders. After the observation group arrives, the secrets of the independent column are not allowed to be revealed, especially the existence of Wild Wolf Mountain." Gundam ordered.
"Yes, Commander. I'll go down and arrange it right away." Qi Tongwei quickly turned around and left the command center.
Gundam laid back down and closed his eyes, but his mind was still racing.
......
at dusk,
The sky was dyed golden by the setting sun, and the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army observation group, led by Fu Zuoyi, arrived at Lijiazhuang.
Along the way, they passed through the fields and hills of Ping'an County, and everything they saw and heard made them curious about the Independent Column.
They had heard of the glorious achievements of the Independent Column, but seeing is believing.
At the entrance of Lijiazhuang village, Gao Da led Qi Tongwei and other leading cadres of the independent column to stand at the entrance of the village to welcome the observation group.
Fu Zuoyi rode his horse slowly to the entrance of the village, then he dismounted and walked quickly to Gaoda.
"General Fu, welcome to the Independent Column for observation. I am Gundam, the commander of the Independent Column." Gundam said, extending his hand.
Fu Zuoyi was stunned when he saw the young Gundam in front of him.
He didn't expect that the commander of the independent column was so young, which surprised him.
After coming to his senses, he quickly reached out and shook Gaoda's hand: "Hello, Commander Gao, I am Fu Zuoyi from the Shanxi Suiyuan Army. It is an honor to be able to observe your army."
Afterwards, Gaoda introduced the leading cadres of the independent column to Fu Zuoyi.
Then Fu Zuoyi also introduced the members of the observation group to Gaoda.
After the two groups introduced themselves to each other at the entrance of the village, Gundam led everyone into the village.
The children in the village curiously poked their heads out and looked at these guests from afar, their eyes full of curiosity and excitement.
Gaoda introduced the situation of Lijiazhuang to Fu Zuoyi as they walked: "General Fu, although Lijiazhuang is not big, it is the cradle of our independent column. It has witnessed our growth and battles."
Fu Zuoyi nodded and said: "Commander Gao, I have come all the way from Ping'an County. Seeing that the people here live and work in peace and contentment, I can already feel the governance ability of your army."
They passed through the main road of the village. On both sides of the road were villagers' houses. Smoke from cooking fires rose up and the aroma of food wafted in the wind, giving people a feeling of tranquility and peace.
Propaganda slogans were posted everywhere in the village, boosting morale and inspiring people. The soldiers standing guard stood upright with alert eyes, showing the rigor and discipline of the independent column.
Gaoda walked in front and had a cordial conversation with Fu Zuoyi.
They talked as they walked, discussing the current battle situation and future strategies.
After settling everyone in the observation group, Gundam returned to the command center.
Chu Yunfei, who was in the observation group, aroused Gundam's strong interest.
In the world of Bright Sword, Chu Yunfei graduated from the Whampoa Military Academy, had great military talent, and was a very capable general in the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army.
He does not have the bad habits of the National Army and is a real soldier.
In particular, the 358th Regiment under his command was able to grow and develop under the encirclement of the Japanese invaders, which shows that his ability is very strong.
Gao Da thought to himself: "In the game of Bright Sword, only Li Yunlong has defeated Chu Yunfei. If we can recruit Chu Yunfei, it will be a great thing for the independent column.
Chu Yunfei's military command ability is unmatched by Li Yunlong, Kong Jie and others. After all, Chu Yunfei is a professional officer from the Whampoa Military Academy, unlike Li Yunlong and other officers who came from the mud."
“Although Li Yunlong is very good at leading troops in battle, Chu Yunfei, who graduated from a professional school, has more advantages in commanding large-scale mechanized operations.
The independent column is now in great need of officers and generals who can command mechanized warfare. After all, everyone is used to guerrilla warfare, and they will definitely not be able to adapt to the sudden switch to mechanized warfare. "
Gaoda decided to find an opportunity to have a good talk with Chu Yunfei to see if it was possible to recruit him into the independent column.
