Rise from the sword

Chapter 155 What do you want?

"What do you want?"

Zhao Gang looked at Li Yunlong, his voice full of vigilance.

The recent fight with the ghosts in Shou County made Zhao Gang almost forget the old problem of this guy.

The statements from the headquarters and the brigade headquarters are very consistent. Commander Li Datuan is not a law-abiding master, and he can always make something happen after such a period of time.And attached a large number of actual case descriptions.

A great achievement is followed by a criticism, almost always.

In the regiment headquarters, apart from Zhang Dabiao and Shen Quan who hadn't come back yet, the other battalion and company commanders looked over one after another, their eyes flickering, implying expectation.

The head of the group has received good business again?
Another battle?
Everyone thought of the previous few battles, the raid in Shuangfeng Town, the ambush in the Wild Wolf Valley, and the just finished pulling out the devil's gun tower. Every time the independent regiment got richer, now when it comes to the independent regiment, any regiment is jealous. .

"What do I want to do?"

Li Yunlong was unhappy: "Old Zhao, you also have a problem with your thinking, can we still be good brothers?"

"Then why are you staring at the map of Shanxi province?"

Zhao Gang didn't believe it, and his tone was still vigilant.

"Hey hey..."

Li Yunlong's signature smile, with a simple and honest tone: "Aren't we happy! The troops counterattacked, the whole army was dispatched, on such a large scale, I enjoyed looking at the map!"

"Is it?"

Zhao Gang narrowed his eyes, and anyone could hear the distrust in his tone.

"Ha ha····"

Li Yunlong began to smile: "Otherwise, what else can I do? Hit Shouxian County? Do you think labor and management will do this kind of loss-making business? There is nothing else nearby except for the four tortoise shell gun towers and the Shouxian County. "

"That's true."

Zhao Gang took a careful look at Li Yunlong, then nodded.

The superiors have praised the independent regiment many times recently, and all kinds of rewards have been arranged for Commander Li, such as a model regiment leader, a combat backbone..., and even publicize the achievements of the independent regiment in all bases of the army.

The Independent Regiment is also worthy of these praises and publicity. It wiped out a single half-battalion of 500 devils, annihilated nearly [-] devils in one and a half months, and supported dozens of tons of weapons and ammunition for its superiors.

It stands to reason that Li Datuan should have drifted away.

Moreover, there is also floating capital.Now even if the independent regiment meets a devil's thousand-man brigade head-on, they can still fight him with real swords and guns, and even have a great chance of winning.

But recently, the devils in Shou County are really scared of being beaten. They don't leave the door and don't go out. Honestly, they look like a pile of shit—from Chief Li Datuan.

The devils don't go out and hide in the county town and the gun towers. The independent regiment can't do anything, it is impossible to attack the city.

Even though the strength of the Independence Regiment has greatly increased now, with such a small force, they will definitely lose their teeth if they attack the county town.

Is this guy really planning to obey the orders of his superiors honestly?Confront the devils in Shou County, first to watch over these devils, and second to serve as a reserve team?
Zhao Gang still felt a little uneasy in his heart.

Having said that, the rest of the battalion and company commanders felt a little pity.

no war
"Everyone has an attitude."

Seeing the pity expressions of the battalion commanders around, Li Yunlong cursed:

"As soon as we make a move here, the devil will definitely counterattack with a backhand. There will be a lot of battles at that time. Why is it so urgent? Go back and train the troops. There are more recruits recently. The most important thing is to train the troops. Who will be at the critical moment? Something went wrong, labor and management will take your heads..."

After a drooling meal, many battalion and company commanders felt comfortable, slipping back to the army one by one energetically, and began to lead the training of their subordinates.

In the end, only Zhao Gang and Li Yunlong were left in the regiment.

"How many towers did the two commandos take down?" Zhao Gang looked at Li Yunlong who was still smiling, and changed the subject.

It must be a big gain to make Lao Li happy like this.

Over the past month or so, the two commandos sent out have not only gone to the New First Regiment and the New Second Regiment to pull out the artillery towers, but have even traveled to nearby base areas to cooperate with county brigades and district teams in various places. The puppet army pulled out one after another, and almost consumed most of the two thousand rounds of the Type [-] infantry artillery shells.

Through the number of shells consumed, it is completely predictable that this time, the number of gun towers pulled out by the two commandos is definitely quite a lot.

"Both Zhang Dabiao and Shen Quan have sent people back to pass the message in advance. These two guys have done a good job. The two commandos have pulled out a total of 110 gun towers this time." Speaking of this, Captain Li blushed.

"One hundred and one!"

Zhao Gang stood up immediately, his eyes wide open.

A gun tower has three tons of weapons and ammunition.

110 seats, that is 330 tons of weapons and ammunition!
This was an unprecedentedly large amount. Although Chen Fan's weapon packaging took up a large part of the weight, the actual weapon and ammunition weighed almost two hundred tons.

"What weapons and ammunition are you going to replace?"

Sitting on the chair again, Zhao Gang looked at Li Yunlong.

"More than 300 tons of weapons and ammunition sounds like a lot. For our troops, it is just a little better than a drop in the bucket."

Zhao Gang had done ideological work before. If the weapons and ammunition obtained by pulling out the gun tower were more than [-] tons, the excess part would be distributed to support other troops, and if it was less than [-] tons, then it would be kept.

It is enough for the independent regiment to leave about [-] tons, and the surplus is to support other troops. It just happened to be fighting the devils recently. Although this batch of weapons and ammunition cannot play a decisive role, it can also reduce many unnecessary casualties.

If you don't have enough strength, you can concentrate your strength to do things. Anyway, there are still opportunities to earn weapons and ammunition in the future. If you have enough, you can support the brother troops.

Zhao Gang's idea is very simple.

After his earnest and persistent pestering, Li Yunlong finally agreed.

"That's right."

Li Yunlong agrees with this sentence: "Our army's foundation is too poor. We need everything and lack everything, including rifles, light and heavy machine guns, and even bayonets. "

330 tons, enough to equip a full brigade.

But how many people are there in a brigade? Just over 4000 people.

Now the total number of regular troops in the base area has exceeded 20. This does not count the militias and martial arts teams that are being organized.

Although the product produced by the system must be a high-quality product, the packaging is really a pit.

A Mauser rifle weighed 35 kilograms including the wooden box, a Czech machine gun weighed 3 kilograms including the wooden box and spare parts, and a heavy machine gun weighed [-] kilograms.A box of [-] rounds of Mauser bullets weighs [-] kilograms, and there are only more than [-] rounds per ton.

Based on the calculation of a brigade of 500 people, according to the standard equipment of a devil's regiment, a total of 56 rifles, 330 light machine guns, [-] heavy machine guns, five grenades per capita, and a small number of mortars are needed, plus The ammunition for one battle, which accounted for the bulk, will be gone if this set goes on, and [-] tons will be gone.

That's not even a heavy weapon.

In modern warfare, it is only a few hundred tons, just a little spray.

Li Yunlong snapped his fingers and continued:
"I keep 220 tons for myself, and the remaining 300 tons. I plan to buy 82 Czechs, and then get more than [-] million rounds of ammunition, and replace the rest with [-] mortar shells and German-made large tumors."

"We don't need to fight positional warfare with the devils. It's usually ambush warfare, mostly mobile warfare, and most of them are fought on mountainous terrain. These are what we need most."

"As for the rifle, forget it."

"It is better to equip four recruits with rifles than to equip a veteran with a machine gun."

After more than ten years of hard life, Li Yunlong, who has fought in actual combat for more than ten years, is reasonable and well-founded.

"Okay, that's it!"

Zhao Gang nodded in satisfaction.

He spent a lot of time trying to persuade Li Yunlong.Now Li Yunlong has executed without any discount, which makes him very happy, and he has a sense of relief that the stubborn apprentice has finally enlightened.

"Unfortunately, it's only over 300 tons."

Spreading out the map in his hand, Captain Li sighed deeply: "If it's more than [-] tons, it can give us hundreds of thousands of troops and each of them can have a gun in their hands, so we don't have to hold them back when we fight. Save your life and bullets."

Zhao Gang immediately rolled his eyes.

500 tons. Calculated from the Xinyi regiment, in the past six months, the total number of weapons and ammunition supported by the Chen Fan brothers is only more than [-] tons.

"Speaking of which, has the government stopped our military pay recently?"

Before Zhao Gang could speak, Li Yunlong suddenly changed the subject.

"Humph."

Hearing this topic, Zhao Gang snorted coldly, and said in a disdainful tone: "This group of people is not good at fighting devils, but they are good at fighting internal friction. Unfortunately, their strength is too weak. We beat them up. Be honest."

"If you can't beat it militarily, you can only make small moves in other areas."

Zhao Gang often goes to his superiors for meetings and knows more detailed information than Li Yunlong.Not long ago, the national government engaged in friction and was beaten up, so he was honest.

"Although the state government doesn't give much, our army is poor. Without some military expenses, life may be even more difficult."

Li Yunlong sighed again.

"Ok?"

'What are you? '

Zhao Gang suddenly realized that something was wrong. Normally, this bastard never pays attention to economic issues. Why did he suddenly bring up this topic today?Squinting his eyes, he saw the map of Shanxi that Captain Li was staring at, and his voice suddenly increased:
"What on earth do you want, boy?"

"Hey hey..."

Li Yunlong looked at the independent regiment headquarters with only the two of them, and lowered his voice: "The superior is in trouble, am I trying to find a way to get some funds for the superior? Although our army does not need military pay, funds are still needed. "

"Eating, drinking, and medicines all cost money!"

"Get money?"

Zhao Gang recalled the ambush of the devils in the Kwantung Army before. That time they seized a lot of funds, and finally handed over all of them to their superiors: "You want to send troops to ambush the devils again?"

"No no no..."

Li Yunlong shook his head with a mysterious tone: "How much money can this get? If you want to do it, you have to do it with a big ticket."

"big?"

Zhao Gang didn't understand.

Besides robbing devils, is there any other way for the independent group to make money?

Hit bandits?In this period, the bandits in the Shanxi border either surrendered to the Japanese as traitors, or hid in the ravines and could not come out. Even if they robbed the common people, they were still a group of poor people who could not squeeze out much money.

"Hey hey..."

Li Yunlong smiled and handed Zhao Gang a piece of information.

The pure white paper without wrinkles made Zhao Gang instantly understand that this was the information given by Chen Fan.

"Brother Chen Fan recently got news that the devil will transport a ton of gold from Taiyuan in 20 days."

"The devil scavenged this from our territory. I saw that our army was short of funds, so I wanted to get him a vote and get back the gold that belongs to us."

Leader Li rubbed his hands with an excited tone.

Hahaha···

Grab the gold.

This is the dream of many bandits and bandits.

"But this batch of gold is in Taiyuan! It was directly transported from Taiyuan Devils Bank to the train station, and then transported away by military train."

The corners of Zhao Gang's eyes twitched, and he even wanted to slap the table and shout:

"Yoshio Shinozuka's Shanxi First Army is stationed in Taiyuan. There is a brigade of devils there, and there is also the devil's air force airport. Even if we dispatch the whole regiment, we will only deliver food to others."

Li Yunlong's tone was calm:
"The intelligence has the specific time and route for the devils to transport the gold, and there are still 20 days left, which is plenty of time."

"Now our troops are fighting back, destroying the devil's artillery towers and roads and railways everywhere. The brigade stationed in Taiyuan will definitely be dispatched. By then, there will not be many devils left in Shanxi, and..."

Speaking of this, Li Yunlong spread out a map of the Taiyuan devils' defense, pointed to the airport on one side and said:

"Old Zhao, come and see..."

Zhao Gang came over and looked at the map in Li Yunlong's hand.

"This is the devil's airport. It is in the southernmost part of Taiyuan. There is a devil guarding one kilometer near the airport. It is guarded by a full-staffed brigade. There is a Japanese army flying team with more than 50 planes in the airport."

"This is the devil's Taiyuan Bank, which is also the starting point of devil's gold. This is the Taiyuan Railway Station, which is in the north, several miles away from the airport."

"You mean..."

Zhao Gang quickly understood what Li Yunlong was thinking:
"The sound hits the west."

"After the main force of Yoshio Shinozuka's first army leaves Taiyuan, send troops to attack the airport, attract the devils from Taiyuan to support the airport, and then use a small group of troops to take gold?"

"but···"

The plan successfully attracted Zhao Gang. More than one ton of gold is really attractive, but he thought about it and raised a problem in the plan: "The devils have a brigade stationed to guard the airport, and there are restricted areas within one kilometer around. There are bunkers and gun towers, and there are minefields buried around them, even if we send out a battalion, it is impossible to send out all the devils in Taiyuan."

Since the North of Guizi Airport was pulled out in the Battle of Xinkou, the Japanese army strengthened the defense of machine guns.

Anti-aircraft artillery towers, bunkers, barbed wire, plus a brigade garrisoned, as well as aircraft support, Taiyuan Airport is impenetrable, and it is impossible for the independent regiment to lay down all of them.And small-scale harassing people will not pay attention at all.

"It doesn't need to be so troublesome!"

Li Yunlong pressed his fingers heavily on the Taiyuan red dot on the map: "The full charge of our 82 mortars has a range of four kilometers, and the whole regiment has six 82 mortars. The labor and management sent people to bombard the devil's airport from a long distance. To be safe, we must send people to chase the artillery unit, and we must have a large number of people, just a brigade, and they must ask for help from the troops left behind in Taiyuan..."

Hearing Li Yunlong's plan, Zhao Gang's eyes gradually lit up, but then he frowned again.

"but···"

　In other words, is there a sense of logical confusion in reading?
