Rise from the sword

Chapter 149 A Day Trip to the Brigade Headquarters
"All these Type [-] shells are loaded on the carriage, half of the rest are carried, and the remaining weapons and ammunition are put in the warehouse."

In Yangcun, outside the warehouse of the Independence Regiment, Li Yunlong looked at the [-] tons of weapons and ammunition he just got with a smile full of anticipation.Just like an old farmer looking at the fruitful ears of rice.

He directed the troops to load part of the weapons and ammunition on the carriage of the transport team, and the rest were stored in the ammunition depot.

Adhering to the promise of timely delivery, although the task has not been settled yet, Chen Fan still pays the price of three tons of weapons and ammunition for a gun tower on time and according to the quantity, and gives a big mule for every two tons of weapons and ammunition.

It is precisely because of these big mules that Li Yunlong has enough transportation force to transport dozens of tons of weapons and ammunition at one time.

After everything was over, Captain Li secretly gave Zhang Dabiao two glances.

Zhang Dabiao immediately understood and nodded to express his understanding.

The meaning of the group leader's eyes is to let him quietly hide some weapons and ammunition in the secret ammunition depot at night, the secret ammunition depot that no more than ten people in the whole regiment know.

And we have to continue digging, deepening and widening that secret ammunition depot.

After all, this is only the first batch. Two months later, when they finish cleaning the gun towers near Kong Jie and Ding Wei's sites, the number of weapons and ammunition will definitely double.

"Hahaha····"

With a cheerful smile, Commander Li headed for the brigade headquarters and headquarters with the weapons and ammunition he just got. From the smile and laughter, it can be heard that Commander Li is full of expectations for the next day trip of his superiors.

"Two thousand rounds of Type [-] infantry artillery shells, the brigade commander must buy me a drink."

Leader Li muttered silently in his heart.

"Weapons and equipment take the initiative to support the superiors, our team leader's ideological awareness is still quite high."

Looking at Li Yunlong who left, a new regiment soldier muttered to himself.

He is as famous as Commander Li for his ability to lead troops in battle. This guy has a character like a small rich man. He keeps all good things in his arms. Even the brothers' troops only take advantage of it and don't suffer. The speed of transmission is not worse than other things.

Now it seems that it is not the case!

"Hmph, high awareness!"

Zhao Gang on the side immediately sneered, and his tone was extremely disdainful: "This bastard is going to show off to the superior."

If others don't know, how can Zhao Gang not know?

This time, Commander Li brought 45 tons of weapons and ammunition, accounting for half of the total given by Chen Fan. Among them, there were [-] tons of [-]-type infantry guns, [-] pieces, and the rest were bullets, machine guns, rifles and other weapons that the troops urgently needed.

The infantry artillery shells were prepared for the higher-level artillery from the very beginning. After all, this thing is fatal to the devil's artillery towers and can greatly ease the current situation of the troops. Li Yunlong still has this overall awareness, but other weapons and ammunition , if it wasn't for the independent group who couldn't eat it by themselves, they would definitely not give a single piece of this dog food to others.

This dog is still dreaming of his ten thousand army dream!

and.

Offer to give for free?
I bother!

This time I may not know what benefits I will get from going there.Although the superiors were poor in weapons and ammunition, they had plenty of good things.Many of them are lacking in the current independent regiment.

The officer of the new regiment looked at Zhao Gang who was sneering, and was stunned for a while, not knowing what to say.

. . .

"Brigade Commander, Brigade Commander."

"We're here to see you."

At the brigade headquarters, Li Yunlong took the first step and ran into the brigade headquarters on horseback. Before he dismounted, his loud voice spread throughout the brigade headquarters.

At this time, his transport team was still one kilometer away, but the road near the brigade headquarters was easy to walk, and it wouldn't take long to get there.

"Leader Li, what are you... why are you here?"

It was Staff Luo who went out to greet him.

Staff Officer Luo looked at Li Yunlong with a smile, his eyes were puzzled.

This guy, he went to the Three Treasure Hall for everything, and he kept asking for veterans and officers when he delivered canned meat last time, but he didn't give one.Just a dozen barrels of canned meat just wants an officer, dreaming.

What the hell are you doing this time?
Not long ago, this guy wiped out a brigade of more than 500 devils. Did he want to take the opportunity to claim credit for the officers?

Staff Officer Luo guessed.

He knew very well in his heart, this one, he has no interest in rewarding him with false titles, and he might not even bother to wear a red flower to give him the title of a battle hero, he only has ideas for something that is actually useful.

Now that the independent regiment has its own way of weapons and ammunition, the weapons allocated by the superiors are not worth it, and this kid has never counted on the weapons allocated by the superiors, so he must be here to ask for someone.

"Hey, haven't you been battered by the devil's gun tower recently, come to the headquarters to learn from it."

Leader Li got off his horse, handed the horse to the soldiers in the brigade, rubbed his hands, and walked in with a simple and honest smile.

The brigade commander wasn't there, and he didn't come out to scold him, so the guy suddenly became bolder.

"Come to the headquarters to learn from the scriptures?"

Staff Officer Luo walked into the regiment headquarters with Li Yunlong, poured a cup of tea for them, and asked in a puzzled tone, "Didn't you kill all the devils in Shou County?"

To wipe out more than 500 devils, the devils must shrink their defense after this move. Even if the devils mobilize many reinforcements from Yangquan, the situation in Shou County has been stabilized, and the devils have no extra strength to launch an offensive.

"Hey···"

Leader Li took a sip of the tea and sighed pretendingly:
"The devils outside are easy to deal with. It's enough to lure out a wave of ambushes. It takes advantage of the geographical advantage and the firepower is not bad. It's easy. Our old Li is also good at this. He used to be a Kwantung Army squadron, and now he is the Shouxian County Half Brigade. .”

The practice is a wave of self-satisfaction, and then enters the topic:

"But this gun tower is really troublesome. The devils can't come out alive. The casualties are too great after a strong attack. The casualties of taking down a gun tower are much greater than I ambushing a squadron of devils."

"Besides, labor and capital are still reinforced concrete blockhouses, which are extremely hard."

In the last sentence, Captain Li said it with a scolding attitude.

Not long ago, he tried to bombard the devil's reinforced concrete blockhouse. As a result, the Type 500 infantry artillery fired three shots and only scratched a few pieces of skin. This was the result of firing within a distance of [-] meters.

Is this kid really here to learn scriptures?

There are times when you, Li Yunlong, ask for help?
Listening to Li Yunlong's words, Staff Officer Luo was amazed.

"This is also impossible."

Ignoring Li Yunlong's show off, Staff Officer Luo also sighed and rubbed his forehead:

"The devils have spotted the weakness of our troops. We lack weapons to attack fortifications, and we are helpless in the face of strong fortifications. Although the mortars we got from you earlier are powerful, they are useless against the gun towers."

"Now the brigade headquarters can't help it. The bases are shrinking. I heard that the headquarters is experimenting with new tactics. Where did the brigade commander go to learn from it? You can go and see."

Staff Officer Luo revealed a message.

"but."

Then Staff Officer Luo paused, and his tone was quite interesting: "The new tactics of the headquarters are probably useless against the devil's concrete and steel barracks on your side."

Li Datuan is the only one with a reinforced concrete blockhouse, which is well known to everyone in the division. When he heard it, he really laughed for a long time.

There is no important area around Shouxian County. Obviously, these reinforced concrete blockhouses were specially prepared for Commander Li. The devils were actually afraid of Li Yunlong, and specifically targeted Commander Li.

"New tactics?"

Captain Li blinked his eyes.

It's tactics, not weapons like his Type [-] infantry gun.

What new tactics can actually attack the gun tower?
The plot was different from what he expected.

"Change a mortar to a flat-firing gun."

Staff Officer Mo explained.

Although this tactic is still being developed by the artillery regiment at the headquarters, it is reasonable to keep it secret, but Li Yunlong is obviously qualified to know.

"Can a mortar be changed into a flat-firing gun?"

How the hell can you do this?Li Yunlong was shocked, and quickly asked: "How is the power? Compared with the [-]-type infantry artillery of the little devil?"

"That's the problem."

Staff Officer Luo's tone was filled with regret:

"In terms of power, it is far worse than the Devil's Type [-] infantry artillery."

"The penetration of mortars is not good at all. We only have to touch the fuze, and after changing to flat fire, the power will drop a little bit. It can only deal with ordinary gun towers, but even thicker stone brick gun towers are a little troublesome. Yours There is no need to think about the reinforced concrete blockhouse next to it.”

Shells equipped with time-delay fuzes are excellent equipment for dealing with gun towers and civil bunkers, but unfortunately the Eighth Route Army does not have them and cannot manufacture them.

"Even if it's the mortar shells you got, it won't work." Finally, Staff Officer Luo added.

The mortars produced by Chen Fan are all instantaneous fuzes and cannot be adjusted.

"Then I have to go and see."

Li Yunlong was very interested.

How did the mortar shoot flat?
"It's still early and the weather is not bad. Are you going to the headquarters now?" Staff Officer Luo hurried away.

He can't feel at ease if this guy stays here and babbles endlessly.

"Hey hey..."

Li Yunlong grinned, his tone full of regret, and he saw Tuqiongdao: "Staff Luo, recently the new grass-roots officers have brought some for me, Lao Li. I have fought a few battles with the devils recently, and the troops have lost a lot. The grass-roots officers are in short supply." what."

This sentence is true.

They strangled each other with the devils for a month, and ambushed a 500-man brigade of devils, and then launched an offensive against the devils' gun towers. The independent regiment had a very serious reduction in personnel, from more than 2000 people before to less than 300 people now, a reduction of nearly one-third one.

However, after experiencing these actual battles, the overall combat effectiveness of the independent regiment has not weakened at all, and even strengthened, but the problem is that many grassroots officers have been reduced during this period.

The style of the officers brought out by Commander Li to take the lead in the charge is one of the main factors for the strength of the independent regiment, but...
"No, really none."

Staff Officer Luo immediately waved his hand: "The new batch of trained officers has been allocated, and there are only a few of them."

"Hey."

Commander Li sighed: "If Staff Luo wants to help out, our regiment has recently pulled out the devils and removed all the gun towers except those reinforced concrete gun towers. The troops have lost a lot and need to be replenished urgently, otherwise it will affect the combat effectiveness."

"You unplugged all the ordinary brick and stone blockhouses near the devil?"

Staff Officer Luo was startled, and heard the overtones in Commander Li's tone—casualties are not the point, the point is that all the masonry blockhouses were pulled out, and it was within the last few days.

When the independent regiment reported the complete annihilation of the 500-man brigade in Shou County, it also said that all the Japanese artillery towers were there.

"Of course, an ordinary blockhouse for a mere little devil can block our old Li."

Leader Li smiled triumphantly: "Hey hey... Otherwise, the little devil will build a reinforced concrete blockhouse for our old Li?"

"How did you do it?" Staff Officer Luo stood up and asked.

He knew exactly how many ghost gun towers there were near Li Yunlong.

In addition to the five reinforced concrete blockhouses, there are also thirteen large and small blockhouses made of brick, stone and concrete. It is not easy to fight these blockhouses, although the devils in Shou County dare not leave the city after being beaten by this kid.

But in just a few days, this kid actually pulled out all the gun towers.

Staff Officer Luo didn't believe that Li Yunlong would attack the devil's artillery building regardless of casualties.

"Hahaha···"

Li Yunlong smiled unnecessarily, he got up and went outside: "Come on, let me show you my good things."

Seeing Li Yunlong's invitation gesture, Staff Officer Luo narrowed his eyes and followed him out.

At this time, part of Li Yunlong's transport team had arrived, and the soldiers were unloading. Boxes of beautifully packaged ammunition boxes were piled up in the open space in front of the brigade headquarters. This situation attracted many brigade personnel to watch.

One raised his leg and stepped on the ammunition box mountain, and opened an ammunition box, revealing four [-]-type shells inside, Li Datuan shook his legs, and his tone was also triumphant:

"One thousand Type [-] infantry artillery grenades with time-delay fuzes."

"Call us some veteran officers?"

Wow... There was a clattering sound all around, Staff Officer Luo's eyes suddenly widened, and the eyeballs almost fell out:
"One thousand Type [-] infantry artillery shells."

"You captured the devil?"

"No, it's..."

Staff Officer Luo instantly understood the origin of these shells.

It should be the same as the one hundred tons of weapons and ammunition from that mysterious person named Chen Fan.

Because this person only had contact with Li Yunlong, and this person brought a lot of weapons, ammunition and supplies to the troops.After discussion, the superior decided not to intervene in his behavior, nor to take the initiative to contact him.

"Well, this is more than business. There are fifteen tons of guns and ammunition in the back, which I also gave to the brigade headquarters. I will send a thousand Type [-] shells over a month later."

"But I want to train officers for the next two batches of the brigade."

From time to time, the headquarters and the border area will select a group of outstanding soldiers for officer training, after which they can be directly qualified as first-level officers of the company and platoon.Each brigade can be divided into twenty.

Staff Officer Luo didn't speak for a while, but stared straight at the thousand rounds of shells.

There are two seized Type [-] infantry guns in the independent artillery battalion of the brigade headquarters. They are well maintained, but there are no shells.

As long as there are shells, the devil's gun tower is scum.

As for the more than 20 company platoon officers...

To exchange for two thousand shells and fifteen tons of weapons and ammunition...
Cost-effective!

"Okay, I'll talk to the brigade commander."

Staff Officer Luo's tone was firm.

　change first...
