Rise from the sword

Chapter 126 The Devil's Generous Spending!

Headquarters.

ordnance factory.

"One hundred thousand bullet casings!"

The head of the logistics department, Zhang Wanhe, inserted his hand into the ammunition box full of bullet casings, picked up a handful of bullet casings and rubbed them repeatedly. Amidst the soft and waxy sound of pure copper hitting, his old face unexpectedly showed a look of intoxication. smile.

It seems to be listening to the beautiful piano sound.

"And they are all high-quality pure copper shells from European and American manufacturers."

"Li Yunlong is really rich!"

Behind Zhang Wanhe, the soldiers and employees of the ordnance factory who came to meet him also stretched their necks to look at the ammunition of several large carts, all of them were full of joy and anticipation.

Instead, the barrels of canned meat on the side were completely ignored.

Looking at this scene, Zhao Gang was quite puzzled.

"Isn't the arsenal able to produce its own shell casings?"

After several years of technological exploration and the secret purchase of machine tools, half a year ago, the arsenal at the headquarters was able to manufacture ammunition casings by itself, and the output was not low. This was no secret among regiment-level cadres.

"It's true that I can make my own bullet casings."

Zhang Wanhe put down the bullet casings and responded with a wry smile: "But we don't have copper ingots to make bullet casings, so we can only recast them with devil's rail steel or scrapped bullet casings. The defective rate of the manufactured bullet casings is too high, let alone the low yield , and the accuracy is extremely poor.”

"In addition, the machine tools we bought half a year ago are all grandpa's products from more than [-] years ago. Not to mention they are difficult to serve, and they are often kicked."

"Not long ago, a batch of ammunition was produced and sent out, and the frontline troops were full of curses. Several regiment leaders ran over and pointed at me and complained, saying that the ammunition I produced exploded and broke their guns. "

Mentioning this matter made Zhang Wanhe depressed.

He still controls the quality very strictly. He would rather reduce the output than control the quality. However, the technology level of the arsenal at the headquarters is really limited. Most of the craftsmanship is processed by hand. How high can the quality of the bullets produced be?The chance of bombing is naturally higher than that of devils or foreign bullets.

Besides, the devil's bullets are also responsible for the blasting of the chamber. Besides, the army's guns are aging, the rifling is gone, and the inner chamber is deformed. The bullets cannot be blamed for the explosion!

"Is that so..."

Zhao Gang suddenly nodded.

Although he is a college student with comprehensive knowledge, he doesn't know much about manufacturing technology.

"In the future, if you have this shell casing, you can collect more. Our arsenal's current bullet production technology has been completely solved. The self-made bullet trajectory is very stable. The bullets repacked with your shell casing are extremely accurate and rarely explode. "

Calling the people behind him to start carrying the ammunition boxes containing the shell casings, Zhang Wanhe said.

Li Yunlong obtained a large number of imported weapons and ammunition by means. He knew this. He went to see the large number of weapons and ammunition sent to the headquarters by the brigade headquarter. All of them were top quality goods.

"it is good!"

Zhao Gang nodded happily.

The independent regiment currently has a lot of bullets, and all of them are high-quality goods provided by that Chen Fan. Anyway, it is useless for them to keep the bullet casings. Let the soldiers collect as many as possible in future battles.

"These canned meats are also for you."

Pointing to the five barrels of canned meat on the last carriage, Zhao Gang reminded.

He saw that the soldiers who carried it did not touch the canned meat.

"Give me all five barrels?"

Zhang Wanhe's tone was unbelievable: "Don't you give some to the headquarters and the staff?"

The other soldiers and employees also looked at Zhao Gang in unison, full of disbelief.

They naturally knew this canned meat.

Li Yunlong sent a bucket of canned meat over two months ago. Although more than ten catties were eaten, the remaining more than 100 catties of meat still allowed hundreds of people in the arsenal and ordnance department of the headquarters to taste the meat.The high-quality canned meat produced by the system has successfully conquered the stomachs of all employees and soldiers.

But before they thought the barrels were for other departments.

Here at the headquarters, there are more than ten thousand people in all departments.

"This time I got a hundred barrels of canned meat, and I sent them to the headquarters and the staff."

Zhao Gang did not tell the truth, but only said that he got more than 100 barrels.

Considering that they are all comrades, and there will be times when they will ask for help in the future, Commander Li made a big deal this time, sending nearly a hundred barrels to the brigade headquarters and various departments at the headquarters, including the headquarters hospital. Including the quick ones, the five hundred barrels of canned meat shrunk by half.

"Haha, thank you, thank you..."

Zhang Wanhe immediately smiled, happier than when he received the bullet casings.

"Then, I'm welcome."

After rubbing his hands, Zhang Wanhe immediately ordered someone to move the five barrels of canned meat to the cafeteria.

"I haven't eaten meat for two months, and I can finally eat meat."

"This meat is much more delicious than the previous meat..."

"..."

The other fighters were also full of joy.

"You haven't eaten meat in two months?"

Zhao Gang was surprised.

The logistics department, especially the employees of the ordnance factory, had the highest standard of food, second only to the headquarters hospital.Although the Eighth Route Army is poor, it is incredible that they have not eaten meat for two months.

Poor, it's not like this.

"The situation in the base area is not good recently!"

This topic made Zhang Wanhe look serious: "Recently, the devils have blocked much more stringently than before. They are building gun towers and roads everywhere. All the passages from the base area to the outside are blocked. Anyone who leads to the base area will be investigated and dealt with. Supplies can’t come in at all, and ours can’t be sold.”

Economic blockade, restrictions on the circulation of materials, and the devil's old routine of attacking base areas.

"so serious?"

Zhao Gang raised his eyebrows.

He hasn't been here at the headquarters for more than a month, and the communication between the regiments of the Eighth Route Army is also troublesome, which he really doesn't know.

In the past, the devil's blockade was full of loopholes. Although the exchange of materials between the base area and the outside was suppressed, it was a little troublesome. Moreover, in Li Datuan's territory, the devil's blockade was not necessary at all.

Jia Zhuang erected such a large blockhouse, but it was not because the leader Li Datuan led people to take over the traitor's lair.

"Yes, and the devil's blockade is getting stronger and stronger. The people I sent out to purchase supplies recently lost several people. It is estimated that the headquarters will counterattack in the near future. I am working overtime to produce weapons and ammunition."

Zhang Wanhe said.

Although no specific news was received, Zhang Wanhe had already started preparations. After all, the enemy was blocking the door of his house, and the Eighth Route Army could not sit still, and there must be a big move.

"Our side is fine now!"

Although the current situation around the Independence Regiment is very good, Zhao Gang thought of the 1000-strong devil brigade that just arrived.

I'm afraid that the next situation is not optimistic...

"Do you want to stay for a meal? The chefs in our logistics department are very skilled."

Zhang Wanhe retained Zhao Gang and the soldiers of the independent regiment's transport team.

"No, I'm going back to the regiment. The independent regiment still has a lot of work waiting for me to do."

Zhao Gang waved his hand and left with the soldiers.

"It seems that Li Yunlong got a lot of canned meat this time, definitely hundreds of barrels."

Looking at the back of Zhao Gang and the independent transport team leaving, Zhang Wanhe muttered.

"Why do you say that?"

On the side, a soldier asked suspiciously.

How was this calculated?Just relying on the five barrels of canned meat delivered?
"I asked them to stay for dinner. Not only Zhao Gang, but even the ordinary soldiers of the transportation team didn't miss it. They must have eaten meat in the independent regiment, and they ate a lot, otherwise they wouldn't have this expression."

Zhang Wanhe touched his chin:

"I have to find an opportunity to take Lao Liu to Li Yunlong's army to have a look and have a few meals. This is sugar and canned meat. That kid must have a lot of good things hidden somewhere."

······
Independent regiment.

"So, have you heard any news?"

Li Yunlong handed Wang Gensheng a glass of water.

After draining the water in one gulp, Wang Gensheng took a breath, wiped his mouth, and said:

"The devil is really generous this time."

"Including Xiangshuitan, seventeen villages and towns, the devils are planning to build blockhouses and roads to connect all these villages. Now the devils are arresting ordinary people to build roads and blockhouses."

"and····"

Taking another breath, Wang Gensheng's tone was full of exclamation:
"The gun towers built by the devil this time are all made of cement and steel bars, including the small gun towers, and the holes of the guns are much smaller than before."

"Seventeen villages and towns started building gun towers and roads at the same time?"

"The blockhouses are all made of steel and cement?"

"interesting····"

As the head of the regiment, Li Yunlong will naturally not be the same as Wang Gensheng, and also use cement to call cement. After all, for so many days, Zhao Gang beat him with knowledge every day and forced him to learn knowledge. Li Yunlong's cultural level has improved a lot, at least on the surface. up.

"Mark the location on the map."

Li Yunlong dragged a map and handed it to Wang Gensheng.

It's not surprising that the bullet holes became smaller. After all, devils are not fools. After being beaten up a few times, they should learn their lesson.

But all the blockhouses use reinforced concrete, which makes Li Datuan very interesting.

The little devil’s own resources are not rich, steel and cement are rarely used in building blockhouses, only the large blockhouses around the railway or in the city will use them, and the buckle cables are used, and the other places are made of big green bricks or bricks. It's red bricks, but thickened to block bullets.

But this time it was so generous...
Could it be that the little devil has become rich recently?Where did you get rich?
But Li Datuan didn't panic, anyway, it was the same for the green brick blockhouse or the cement reinforced blockhouse, and the independent regiment couldn't handle it all.

"Head, these seventeen villages and towns."

After all, Wang Gensheng is a veteran of several years, and his drawing skills are not bad, so he finished the painting quickly.

"The area is so big?"

The dozen or so icons on the map made Li Yunlong raise his eyebrows: "How far is the Seventeenth Tower?"

"That's right, the devils have sent people to survey and map these places, and even the foundations are being dug."

Wang Gensheng nodded and said.

The information was not only coming from insiders lurking in the devils and puppet army, he had sent people to see every place here, and in some places even repeated on-the-spot inspections many times.

"The newly arrived more than 1000 devils, plus the original devils from Shou County, add up to [-] to death. Seventeen gun towers started at the same time. The new devil commander is not afraid of himself."

Li Yunlong sneered.

This news made his evaluation of this group of new devils significantly lowered.

The devil in Shou County knew that the Independence Regiment had mortars, and had suffered from the Independence Regiment, so such a big move with great fanfare was impossible, so he concluded that there must be a new devil officer in Shou County, and this devil officer has An old problem.

Arrogant, arrogant.

In the words of Chen Fan's brother, the devils are beatings due to lack of society.

"By the way, Captain, I also inquired about a piece of news."

Wang Gensheng continued: "The new devils are asking around for the location of our independent regiment, and you..."

"Ask about me and our independent group?"

Li Yunlong was puzzled: "Isn't this for sure? Aren't the devils obsessed with where our regiment headquarters is stationed?"

One of the information that devils most want to know is the garrison of the Eighth Route Army and the garrison of each army command organization. However, each regiment has established a complete security system, security department, guard platoon, and garrison layers. Coupled with various secrecy measures and the monitoring of the devils, the idea of ​​the devils attacking the troops in the base area is always just an idea.

Every time, the devils were left empty-handed. Over time, except for large-scale raids, the devils from all over the country stayed in the county towns or strongholds obediently, and did not enter the base areas alone.

"No."

Wang Gensheng emphasized that this time is different:
"The devils only inquire about the location of our independent regiment, and only want the location of our independent regiment, and don't want anything else."

"and···"

Speaking of this, Wang Gensheng paused, and the way he looked at Li Yunlong changed: "The devil also said that the person who takes your place will reward you with 50 oceans, and you have [-] oceans in your head..."

"Captain, you are really valuable!"

In the last sentence, Wang Gensheng's tone was a bit faint.

"what?"

"50 oceans?"

Li Yunlong raised his eyebrows, touched his neck, and grinned: "Haha, I didn't expect the devil to be so generous. He raised the value of labor and management so much. If that old boy Ding Wei heard about it, he should be jealous."

According to the routine, the head of the Eighth Route Army is worth [-] to [-] yuan. Unexpectedly, he, Lao Li, is ten to five times that of others.

This made Li Yunlong feel that he has face.

"The devil only wants the position of our independent group, and the other groups don't want it. It seems that our independent group is a thorn in the devil's eyes." Ignoring Wang Gensheng's eyes, Li Yunlong tapped his fingers on the table and said to himself.

Leader Li understands very well that after he has done so many things, especially after getting to know Chen Fan's brother, the army's weapons and ammunition have been greatly improved. Even a squadron of devils will be wiped out as soon as they say they are wiped out. The devils must be thinking about his death in their dreams.

"Let's go eat, the cooking team specially left some meat for you, and call Yansheng over by the way."

Li Yunlong waved his hand.

"Good!" Wang Gensheng left happily.

"Unfortunately, the next business is still several months away."

After Wang Gensheng left, Li Yunlong murmured alone: ​​"I don't know if our old Li's worth will reach one million this year."
