Rise from the sword

Chapter 150 I Want All!
"Staff Mo, have you seen where our brigade commander is?"

Outside the headquarters and the staff office, Li Yunlong poked his head inside first, and only after seeing the situation inside clearly, did he dare to show his head and ask cautiously.

His tone was very low.

Seeing Li Datuan, who looked wretched like a spy spying on secrets, Staff Officer Mo, who was sorting out the information, frowned, and his face collapsed at that time:
"Wretched and wretched like a spy, what are you up to?"

This guy got into trouble again?Come to me to beg for mercy?

This was Staff Mo's first thought.

"Hey hey..."

After looking around carefully, Commander Li suddenly became more courageous. He walked into the staff headquarters with a big smile, and said to Staff Officer Mo with a smile, "Isn't this looking for our brigade commander? I heard that he has come to the headquarters."

Staff Officer Mo has a certain right to speak in the headquarters, and he is very good to him. Every time he caused trouble in the past, he would help him speak up. Naturally, Commander Li was very polite. The last time he sent canned meat, he specially sent two barrels to Staff Officer Mo. .

This is his friend identified by Li Datuan.

"Why did you ask the brigade commander to come to my place?"

"Your Brigadier is having a meeting over there in the conference room."

Glancing at Captain Li with a wretched smile, Staff Officer Mo waved his hand.

The meaning of this gesture is to tell him to talk about things if he has something to do, and get out if he has nothing to do.

"Well, how long will it take for their meeting to end?"

Seeing that Staff Mo was in a bad mood recently, Li Yunlong asked in a low voice.

It should be the situation in the nearest base area, he guessed in his heart.

Headquarters meetings last at least three to five hours at a time, and the longest may be repeated without leaving the table for several days.Moreover, the situation in the base area is not good recently, the devils are aggressively attacking, I am afraid that the meeting time will not be short.

"This time it will probably take several days."

Staff Officer Mo pondered for a moment before giving an answer.

Staff Mo, who collected information from various bases, has a more intuitive understanding of how bad the situation is recently.

With the Zhengtai Railway as the boundary, the base area was forcibly cut into two halves by the devils. In addition to the extension of the Devils Highway and the gun tower, the communication of personnel in the base area was limited, and the exchange of materials was completely interrupted. The overall area of ​​​​the base area was reduced by more than one-fifth. , Some troops have already experienced serious material difficulties.

Although some areas have opened up the situation, for example, the guy in front of him was not affected by the blockade of the devils, but beat the devils so hard that he dared not leave the county, and was blocked by the devils in reverse, but the overall situation in the base areas of North China is still quite bad. .

"That's fine."

Li Yunlong breathed a sigh of relief. The brigade commander is in a meeting, so he can wander around: "I'll go first."

After speaking, Li Yunlong waved back, and several soldiers came up carrying two barrels of canned meat.

He smiled at Staff Officer Mo and said: "Recently, I got some canned meat, and I specially sent a few cans to improve the lives of comrades in the General Staff Department."

"Hahaha···"

Staff Officer Mo looked at the two barrels of canned meat, then looked at Li Yunlong's smiling face, and nodded, finally showing a smile on his face, with a satisfied tone: "I will thank Captain Li on behalf of the comrades in the staff department."

Not bad, not in vain. Every time I speak good words for you at the boss.

In the staff headquarters, all the staff members also looked at the two barrels of canned meat happily and swallowed.

Although it is the headquarters, the food here is actually not very good. Sweet potatoes, potatoes, and miscellaneous grains can barely keep you full, not to mention the taste, and these miscellaneous grains are not hungry.

With these two barrels of canned meat.

I can taste the meat for a few days again.

And the taste of this canned meat is much better than that of new pork.

Thinking of this, all the staff looked at Commander Li differently.

Eating a delicious meal is a great happiness for these staff officers.

After delivering the cans, Captain Li left with a graceful step, completely different from the cautious approach when he came.

Looking at Li Yunlong's back, Staff Officer Mo blinked, a little surprised:

"It seems that this kid didn't cause trouble this time."

As in the past, every time Li Yunlong came to deliver good things, he came to ask him to help intercede.

"What can cause trouble?"

"The devils in Shou County are enough for him to cause harm."

Another staff officer happily touched two barrels of canned meat: "This kid just wiped out a brigade of 500 devils before. The headquarters is having a headache, how can we reward this guy!"

"Hahaha···"

Officer Mo suddenly laughed.

He knows this.

Annihilating a brigade of 500 devils is definitely a rare victory, and our own casualties are far less than that of devils. The whole army has already publicized it. This special period has greatly boosted the morale of the bases.

However, the headquarters is very troubled by the rewards. They don't know what to give, and some people are worried that if this kid gets swollen and his head twitches, he will come to make trouble again. After all, this is the practice of Captain Li.

. . .

logistics office.

Minister Zhang is counting the material reserves of the headquarters.

The bad situation in the base area has been going on for a long time. It is impossible for the troops to let the situation develop like this. The headquarters suddenly held a combat meeting in the past few days. It must be a big move, so the material situation must be prepared in advance.

Food and fodder, ammunition, medicine and so on.The army is dispatched, and the consumption is not small.

Flipping through the statistical list of materials in his hand, Zhang Wanhe finally breathed a sigh of relief, and said to himself:

"Thanks to that kid Li Yunlong, our ammunition reserve is almost enough for a medium-scale battle, and even the urgently needed mortar shells are almost enough to save money."

Recently, the Ordnance Factory and the Headquarters Artillery Corps invented the mortar flat-firing technology, which can effectively target the devil's artillery towers, and the demand for mortar shells has risen sharply.

At this point, Zhang Wanhe couldn't help laughing.

Although the arsenal at the headquarters has not yet been able to manufacture qualified bullets by itself, the production of reloaded bullets has been steadily increasing because of the shell casings of the batch of bullets from Commander Li Datuan, and the reserves in the warehouse are enough to consume a medium-scale battle.Mortar shells, because I have been saving money, the self-made ones and the batch I got from Li Yunlong before still have a lot left, so the savings are enough.

"Minister, we still have little food."

A logistics officer on the side reminded.

"It's okay for now."

Zhang Wanhe smiled and spoke in a relaxed tone.

Although there is only enough food for more than one reserve, we can continue to find ways to prepare for it in the later stage. This problem is not particularly urgent.

"Minister Zhang..."

"Minister Zhang!"

Suddenly, a loud voice rang out from outside, and the voice line was clearly distinguishable.

"Li Yunlong."

"What is this dog doing here?"

Reflexively hiding the statistical form in his hand behind his back, Zhang Wanhe's complexion collapsed immediately, his voice was no longer as gentle as before, his tone was full of disgust, and his face was even more vigilant.

That expression, as if seeing a habitual thief.

Walking out the door, Zhang Wanhe squinted his eyes and looked defensive:
"Why are you here, Commander Li?"

"Hey hey..."

Li Yunlong's signature silly smile: "Let's make a deal."

Leader Li Datuan is very self-aware. He used to fight the autumn wind here a lot, and he often refused to leave without equipment. Now every time he comes here, this minister will guard him like a thief, and start chasing people before he even enters the door. .He didn't bother to babble, and went directly to the topic.

"Doing business?"

Minister Zhang subconsciously waved his hand and was about to refuse, but thinking of this kid who did not know some friend who provided weapons and ammunition recently, and his family was extremely wealthy, he suddenly retracted his arms, squinted his eyes and looked at Li Yunlong, but his tone was still vigilant: " what kind of business?"

"Bring it up..."

Li Yunlong didn't answer directly, but waved back.

The transportation team of the Independent Regiment at the rear immediately pushed the carriages in and lined up neatly one by one. One of the soldiers picked up a wooden ammunition box and ran to Li Yunlong.

Click.

The metal buckle of the wooden ammunition box was opened, revealing four rounds of Type [-] infantry artillery shells inside.

Taking out a Type [-] shell from the box, and rubbing the body of the shell with his hands, Li Yunlong showed a smile like a profiteer: "Hehehe... Our old Li recently got a Type [-] shell."

Zhang Wanhe immediately recognized that what Li Yunlong was holding was the devil's Type [-] infantry artillery shell, and his eyes were straightened at that moment.

Blinking his eyes to make sure he wasn't dazzled, he moved his gaze down to the ammunition box on the ground. In the opened box, there were three yellow-orange shells. to the carriage.

There are two carriages full of cannonball ammunition boxes - different ammunition boxes have obviously different sizes, and there are written marks on the outside.

Looking at the number, I'm afraid there are a thousand rounds! ···The years of working in the logistics department have given Zhang Wanhe a pair of piercing eyes. With just a glance, he can roughly estimate the approximate quantity of a pile of supplies.

"what do you want?"

Swallowing his saliva, Zhang Wanhe breathed heavily, and struggled to maintain a trace of vigilance in his tone.

The headquarters artillery regiment has two [-]-type infantry artillery, which were seized before. Even though the devils had a clear order to destroy the cannons, the troops still had some gains after fighting the devils for so long.

Unfortunately, there were no shells, not a single one.

Therefore, these shells are urgently needed by the headquarters artillery regiment.

This thing is a sharp weapon for attacking artillery towers. It is much more effective than flat-fire mortars. With this, the troops' next actions will be much easier.

"Hey hey..."

Li Yunlong's smile became more honest, and he rubbed his hands: "I heard that you got more than 300 horses..."

The purpose of Li Datuan's visit to the headquarters this time is the cavalry.

Although he has been collecting military horses and cavalry equipment, the speed is too slow. Up to now, there are only more than 30 horses, which is still a long way from a company. In order to obtain a highly mobile cavalry company as soon as possible, he sent his ideas to the headquarters. Here it comes.

After all, the headquarters is the headquarters, and the speed of collecting horses is much faster than him.

Although the brigade also had a batch, almost all of the batch that Ding Wei seized from Wanjia Town last time was sent to the brigade, but he didn't dare to ask for it, otherwise he was afraid that the army horses hadn't arrived and the things would have gone in.

Zhang Wanhe nodded: "You guys are well informed. I haven't warmed up this batch of military horses and cavalry equipment myself."

There is a cavalry battalion directly under the headquarters, and their logistics department needs to collect military horses to supplement and build saddles and other equipment.Not long ago, he obtained hundreds of military horses through various means, such as seizure and purchase, and now after more than two months of recuperation and training, they are ready to go to the battlefield.

"One thousand [-]-type infantry artillery shells, plus ten tons of weapons and ammunition, you give me all these horses, and all these things will belong to you." Li Yunlong smiled and asked for them all.

After speaking, he looked straight at Minister Zhang.

Although the position is only the head of the logistics department, this guy has a lot of power. He can directly give him all the cavalry equipment, as long as the headquarters can tell him afterwards.

If you go to other people, I'm afraid the business will not be so easy to talk about. After all, each of them can directly crush him to death, especially if the brigade commander is still here.

"It's all for you, it's impossible."

Without even thinking about it, Zhang Wanhe directly refused.

A total of 330 army horses were given to Li Yunlong, and he would not be scolded to death by other regiment leaders. A bunch of main forces were staring at this group of army horses!The high-speed maneuvering cavalry company, that regiment doesn't want it.

"However, I can give you 120 horses to form a cavalry company."

Looking at Li Yunlong and the shells in his hand, Zhang Wanhe paused, then continued.

Military horses are very precious, and he spent a lot of energy for these horses, but shells are even more precious and have a greater effect.

It's not bad to change.

"120 horses?"

"Too little."

Leader Li is not satisfied, and his own is only one company, not enough!not enough!

But Sun Desheng's eyes lit up behind him.

A cavalry company of the Central Army of the National Government actually only has 120 horses, which is enough.But he didn't speak, but quietly stayed behind his head.

The more military horses, the better.

"Another hundred horses." Li Datuan bargained.

His tone is confident, this time he still has a lot of cards to negotiate the price.

"I have a total of more than 300 horses here, and you need more than 200 horses, which are more than two-thirds. Absolutely not."

While speaking, Minister Zhang took out a [-]-type infantry artillery shell from the ammunition box on the ground and touched it. After taking a deep breath and spitting it out heavily, he continued:
"However, if you can bring some more shells, I will give you fifty more."

"How much do you want?"

Li Yunlong pretended to think about it and said.

"One more...five hundred rounds."

Minister Zhang gritted his teeth, and the lion opened his mouth wide.

Li Yunlong had just won a big victory and wiped out more than 500 devils. If he gave him the horse equipment of a cavalry company himself, no one would say anything, and he would just go and talk to the staff later.

"Five hundred rounds for fifty military horses?"

Li Yunlong blinked his eyes.

"Yes." Minister Zhang also showed a profiteer-like smile.

At this price, it is difficult to say who will gain the advantage and who will suffer the loss.

Although shells are expensive, military horses are not cheap either.

However, although military horses are rare, they can be obtained whether they are captured, purchased or cultivated by themselves.But shells are different, this thing is almost impossible to seize, as for self-made...

"Okay! Then five hundred shells will be exchanged for fifty military horses."

Li Yunlong nodded greatly.

"Haha! Then it's settled? You are not allowed to go back on your word."

Zhang Wanhe was overjoyed.

Although Li Datuan has black history and a lot of bad tempers, he still does what he says, promises, and good business negotiations.

Of course, only comrades in the same unit.

"of course."

"Then I will take away all the three hundred horses from your stable, and then I will send you two thousand Type [-] shells, which will definitely be delivered within two months at the longest."

Li Yunlong is also very happy to laugh.

"Uh-huh?!"

　And, but... tomorrow morning.
