Rise from the sword

Chapter 116 Borrowing soldiers!

"A chance to eat meat?"

"Bring me meat?"

Ding Wei immediately stopped closing the door, turned to look at Li Yunlong, with a look of interest on his face: "Have you seen the devil's transport team? Where is the location? Is the information accurate?"

eat meat!

The meat refers to the devil's train team.

Moreover, it is still the relatively fat ammunition, military and food supply team.

But it is not easy to eat this meat.

Firstly, it is difficult to grasp the intelligence of the devil's convoy team. The specific date and route of the operation are tightly covered by the devil. They often work hard for a day to prepare, only to find out that the devil shot a feint and released false news. The escort of the luggage team is not easy to deal with.

If it is not done well, the meat will not be eaten, but a mouthful of teeth will be knocked out instead.

"Hey hey..."

Li Yunlong smiled in a signature manner, and then squeezed his eyes: "170 fat big white pigs passed by my door, and I, Lao Li, naturally couldn't let go of this opportunity to eat a big meal. I'm ready, I just need to lend me a pair of chopsticks, you said the news is not accurate."

Li Yunlong compared the 170 Kwantung Army devils to big white pigs.

As for the 330 puppet troops in the two squadrons, Li Yunlong didn't even bother to mention them.

Although the "Iron Stone" puppet army claims to be the elite of the second-line division of the devils, but the so-called title is only a claim after all. Maybe it can have a little bit of the strength of the second-line division of the devils at the beginning of the fight, but how long can it last?one second?two seconds?three seconds?
The devils in the second-tier division had brainwashed Bushido mentality, and a bullshit emperor's call, and this group of traitors and traitors only picked up guns for eating, drinking, whoring and gambling.

A group of garbage!
"170 big fat pigs? In front of your house?"

Ding Wei pondered the meaning of Li Yunlong's words.

170 pigs, which means that the devil's supply team is almost the size of a squadron. This force was a hard nut to crack before, but now it can be eaten relatively easily, whether it is a new regiment or an independent regiment.As for the front of the house, it means that the route of the devil's baggage team is not far from Li Yunlong's residence.

"How do you want to treat me?"

The meaning of Li Yunlong's words was obvious, he didn't tell him the specific place and time, indicating that he didn't plan to invite him to a big meal, so Ding Wei didn't bother to talk too much, and went straight to the point.

In his opinion, Li Yunlong should be looking for him for help.

It would take at least an hour to eat up a squadron of devils' convoy. During this period, the devils would definitely send reinforcements, so let him block the nearby devils' reinforcements.

"Haha, cool."

Li Yunlong smiled brightly: "Your cavalry will borrow me for a while, and I will give you two tons of canned pork after the matter is completed. In addition, your cavalry will even pay for all the ammunition consumed during this battle."

"Lend my cavalry company?"

"Give me two tons of canned pork?"

Ding Wei raised his eyebrows and looked at Li Yunlong.

Ambush the devil's convoy, instead of coming to me to help mobilize the devil, come to me to borrow the cavalry company.Moreover, he also paid two tons of canned pork.This thing is not easy to get, no more difficult than weapons and ammunition.

And it's still two tons, which is equivalent to about twenty fat pigs!
interesting····

"The devil's canned pork?"

Ding Wei frowned.

It's not that he dislikes it, but the devil's canned pork tastes so good, it's better to get a devil's mule to eat...

"fart!"

Of course, Li Yunlong has tried the devil's canned pork: "Is the devil's canned food eaten by his mother? The labor and capital gave you good stuff, and the good stuff imported from abroad is even more delicious than fresh pork!"

Good stuff from abroad?

Ding Wei thought of the batch of sophisticated weapons and ammunition of unknown origin.

"That's fine, the cavalry company will take you back directly."

Ding Wei nodded: "However, you have to give me five tons of this canned pork. More than 100 cavalry from labor and management dispatched a trip, and you only give two tons of pork. It's too fucking stingy."

How can you not bargain when doing business?
"no!"

Li Yunlong glared, and of course disagreed: "I don't have much money myself, so if I give you five tons back, then I'm not working in vain? No, absolutely not, no more than two tons at most.

"And I only gave these two tons for the sake of our relationship."

Five tons, that is fifty barrels, and labor and capital themselves are only five hundred barrels.

"Then give me Sun Desheng!"

Ding Wei didn't continue to entangle with Li Yunlong, but changed a condition: "You don't have a cavalry company anyway, so it's okay for Sun Desheng to give it to me? It would be a waste to let you go!"

Ding Wei regretted giving Sun Desheng to Li Yunlong at the beginning.

At that time, he didn't know that there was such a good cavalry talent in the regiment. Later, after the horse brigade department in Wanjia Town issued him a company, he knew that there was a top cavalry talent in his regiment.

At the beginning, he almost went directly to Li Yunlong's dignitary.

"no!"

Li Yunlong would not agree even more: "I managed to get Sun Desheng. Do you want it? There are no doors. Besides, labor and capital's own cavalry company is also being formed, and it is almost taking shape."

"Now for you, what about the labor-management cavalry company?"

This is true. Li Yunlong has always wanted to form a cavalry company. The speed and support capabilities of the cavalry are very important, but military horses are too difficult to obtain, and it is not easy to raise a cavalry company. He has no eyebrows.

"Bullshit!"

Ding Wei rolled his eyes: "You have a cavalry company, so why borrow labor?"

"Hey, haven't you got all the equipment yet?"

Li Yunlong sighed: "Cavalry and military horses are hard to get, and they can't be bought, and devils' ones are not easy to get."

After a pause, Li Yunlong also knew that two tons of canned meat couldn't stop this guy's mouth, and that his battle plan really needed a cavalry company. Before Ding Wei could continue talking, Li Yunlong said:
"It's true that you can't give more canned meat, so how about I give you an 82 mortar with 150 82 mortar shells after I'm done? Isn't that interesting?"

"At that time, your cavalry battalion will bring it back directly, and you don't have to worry about being intercepted by the brigade again."

As long as these 82 devils and puppet troops are killed this time, an 150-kilogram weapon and ammunition can have [-] tons of weapons and ammunition, and an [-] mortar plus [-] shells is only one ton.

As for, who is more important, three tons of canned meat or one ton of mortars and shells?
In the past, Li Yunlong said without hesitation, of course it was a mortar.

Cannons are the guts of infantry, and cannons are the soul of infantry. Of course, the more cannons, the better.

But now that the regiment is rich in mortars and has formed an artillery company, Commander Li has to admit that artillery is more important than cannons. If he is given a good artillery now, he can exchange cannons.

Without good gunners, without good artillery, artillery is of little use.

It's a pity that there are only a few good gunners at the headquarters. He wants to change them, but he is afraid that the people will not be replaced, and the things will be confiscated.

Moreover, the shells are heavy, and it is difficult to transport supplies. An 82 mortar plus ammunition supply transport requires 1000 people to serve. If he is given an artillery battalion, he must configure a logistics team of at least [-] people to serve.

"A 82mm plus 150 shells?"

Ding Wei's eyes widened, and his tone was full of disbelief.

"Correct!"

Li Yunlong chuckled: "This cannon has a range of four kilometers, which is farther than the devil's [-] infantry cannon. It's interesting!"

"Four kilometers range?"

Ding Wei suddenly lost his composure.

The mortar is four kilometers, so the more accurate range is three kilometers. This distance can already wrestle with the [-] infantry artillery.If you have a good gunner, you can even suppress the [-] infantry.After all, mortars are far more mobile than infantry artillery.

"Row!"

Without hesitation, Ding Wei nodded in agreement.

Although I am very sure that this is much more than Li Yunlong's big profit from trading Li Yunlong, but the price of one gun plus 150 mortar shells is completely enough.And he has no extra capital to bargain.

Although there are few troops with cavalry companies, there are still a few.But this is the only one who can afford to exchange for a mortar.

"Ha ha····"

Li Yunlong immediately hooked up with Ding Wei with a smile on his face.

After Li Yunlong left with the cavalry company, Ding Wei found a map and spread it on the table, thinking about Li Yunlong's ambush.

The new map was issued by the headquarters staff not long ago, and every regiment has it. This map is not only extremely accurate, but also has detailed markings on the surrounding terrain, which is many times better than the previous manual surveying and hand-drawn map.

Ding Wei squatted on the map, his eyes swept over and over again with Yang Village as the center.

Where did this dog look at the devil's train?
Still keep silent?

The north of Yangcun is in the direction of Taiyuan. The devils in Taiyuan have planes and cavalry regiments. Within a hundred miles, the plane can arrive in half an hour, and the cavalry can arrive in two hours. The devils in Taiyuan in the direction of the direction, even if it is a logistics team, it is impossible.

To the west is the station of the 772 and 773 regiments, and there are mountain roads in the middle, so there will be no devils' trains passing by.

There are two devil camps in the south, but these two strongholds are a little far away from Yangcun, and the devils have stationed a full brigade of troops nearby, and one regiment might knock out a tooth in the past.

The only possibility is Shou County.But didn't Li Yunlong just beat up the Shou county devils before?Moreover, the ghost trains in Shou County generally come from the direction of Yangquan.Even Li Yunlong can't reach him!
Ding Wei looked at the map on the table, puzzled.

Now that the war has been fought, the devil's supply team is also honest, not as arrogant as it was at the beginning, making it difficult for the Eighth Route Army to succeed.A good strike opportunity is not easy to find.

······
Back in the independent regiment, Li Yunlong began to prepare for the battle.

Get ready for war!

First, the first battalion, the second battalion, and the third battalion recruited a large number of recruits, and they were all expanded to 600 people per battalion.Each battalion has four infantry companies, each company has ten infantry squads, each squad has 12 people, and each squad is equipped with a light machine gun.

After a period of running-in training, Li Yunlong split the two 60 mortar platoons of the artillery company, and assigned a mortar squad to each battalion. The artillery squad was equipped with a 60 mortar. A fire company.

Each firepower company is equipped with five Bren and one 60mm mortar.

Different from the light bipods of the accompanying infantry squad, the Bren type of the firepower platoon is equipped with a high tripod weighing more than ten kilograms, which can be used for ultra-low-altitude air defense when necessary. As for the mortar, it can also effectively strengthen the troops against The suppression ability of the Devil's heavy machine gun.

Li Yunlong's plan is very simple.

Now that each battalion has reached the size of 600 people, it should also have independent combat capabilities, at least able to wrestle with a squadron of devils, so he sent down mortars and formed a firepower company with certain air defense capabilities. Strengthen the independent combat capabilities of each battalion, so that he can have many more choices when deploying for operations in the future.

As for the artillery company, the organization has been changed. The row originally equipped with two 82 mortars remains unchanged. All the guns were replaced with 60 mortars.

The future 60 mortars will all be devolved to the battalion level.

However, in this way, Li Yunlong once again encountered the problem of insufficient qualified gunners.

His plan was to have two 60 mortars per battalion.The artillery company is equipped with four to six 82 mortars, so at least it needs to be an excellent gunner, and his whole regiment actually has only three gunners, one of whom is the artillery company commander Yan Sheng.

"Hey·····"

"If only Brother Chen Fan could buy gunners!"

Sighing, Li Yunlong muttered to himself.

Gun shooting is three-point and one-line, which can be taught to anyone in 3 minutes, and can be mastered within a few days. If you were a hunter when you were a child, even a hunter who played with arrows, you can directly pull him to shoot.

With a hundred rounds of bullets, no matter what his talent is, at least he can mix up a usable marksmanship.

As for the maintenance and maintenance of firearms, no matter how stupid a guy is, he can easily master them after a few more inspections and teachings.

But the curve-firing mortar is not the same.

Mortars are simple in structure, easy to use, and anyone can use them, but it is not easy for gunners who can go to the battlefield.

It is not only necessary to hit accurately, but also to play fast and accurately.

Visual range measurement, optical sight curve aiming, or further ballistic gun gauges, if you want to master these technologies proficiently, you must have certain artillery knowledge, such as Yan Sheng, or be talented, such as Wang Chengzhu of the new regiment.

Therefore, the training of qualified gunners is very time-consuming. Even if it is a light 60 mortar, it will take at least a few months to play well, and it will also go through several actual combats.

Relatively speaking, the mountain cannon that shoots directly at three points and one line is simpler and easier to use.

"Damn..."

After suffering from a headache for a long time, Li Yunlong simply cursed and made up his mind: "I don't believe that labor and management should get more shells. Thousands of shells can't feed a few good gunners!"

Li Yunlong, who made up his mind, took most of the mortar shells of the whole regiment with him on the day of departure.Especially the 82 mortar shells, he took the remaining hundreds of rounds with him.
