Rise from the sword

Chapter 160 The Three Brothers

"What are you two doing here?"

Leader Li Datuan did not feel the joy of seeing his old comrades in arms at all, his tone was full of vigilance and——

dislike!

It's not hidden at all, it's directly on the face.

"Although it's a little unreasonable to come here empty-handed, but the three of us are old comrades in arms for more than ten years, so this set can be avoided, isn't it..."

Without stopping, Ding Wei spread his hands with a smile.

"Yes."

Kong Jie walked up the dirt road: "My brothers, we have been friends for more than ten years, and it is so troublesome to send gifts to and from the meeting. In the future, when you come to my new second group, you can also come empty-handed. I promise not to dislike it." .”

Leader Li looked at the two with a sneer, his expression unchanged.

On the other hand, Zhao Gang's tone was kind:

"Both heads, welcome."

"Commissioner Zhao is being polite."

Ding Wei and Kong Jie also responded enthusiastically, as if they didn't see the disgusted expression on Li Yunlong's face.

The weather in September was still hot. Ding Wei and Kong Jie were wearing thin military uniforms. Their hats had been ripped off since they entered Yangcun.Before entering the regiment headquarters, the two untied the shell guns from their waists, handed them to the guards behind them, and told them not to follow any longer.

Leader Li still squinted at the two of them, watching them walk into a somewhat dilapidated but airtight house in the regiment headquarters without any politeness.Then he poured himself a cup of tea, sat on a chair and drank it leisurely.

"Old Li, you've gone too far. Although you are old comrades in arms and have a deep friendship with each other, it's okay to joke around on weekdays, but in front of the soldiers, you still have to put on a show."

After the two entered the door, Zhao Gang scolded Li Yunlong.

"joke?"

Li Yunlong snorted coldly: "I'm not joking, labor and management really despise these two dogs."

"Ok?"

Zhao Gang was puzzled.

He and Li Yunlong have known each other for a short time, but unexpectedly they have a very good relationship. Judging from Li Datuan's performance on weekdays, the two regiment leaders are sincere friends with him.

Could this be the friendship of more than ten years of comrades-in-arms?
"What do you think these two dogs are here for?" Li Yunlong looked at Zhao Gang.

"What are the two captains doing here?"

Zhao Gang was stunned suddenly.

After thinking about it, he really couldn't figure out what the two of them were doing.

This is the time for the troops to counterattack. According to what he has learned, the battle is still very early. Whether it is the main regiment or the main regiment, there are a lot of combat missions.

The Independence Regiment was a special case, because a large number of devils had been wiped out before, and the superiors believed that the Independence Regiment was exhausting, so they were ordered to stay on the spot. First, to recuperate, second, to visit the devil brigade in Shou County, and third, to serve as the last reserve team in the brigade.

At this time, instead of staying in the army to prepare for the battle, why did the regiment leader go to an independent regiment at least dozens of kilometers away?
"The two dogs have bad intentions, and still want me to give you a good face?"

Li Yunlong curled his lips and walked into the regiment headquarters.

He didn't need to think about it, what these two guys were here for!

"What the hell are they here for?"

Zhao Gang still didn't understand.

Come for reinforcements?

Although the Independent Regiment did not suffer as much casualties as the superior said, but as a reserve team, it is impossible to send troops to support the two regiments, not to mention that there is a plan to snatch Taiyuan's gold in the future.

It was noon at the moment, the independent regiment had just had lunch, and there was still a scent in the air of the regiment headquarters.

As soon as Li Yunlong entered the door, Ding Wei sniffed, with an envious tone:

"The taste of pork, and it's authentic braised pork, with star anise, scallion, ginger and garlic."

"The food of your group is really good. You can still eat meat now. It's authentic braised pork. Bring me some for dinner later. I haven't eaten meat for more than a month."

It is now September, and this period is when the food in the army is the worst. The little bacon that I managed to save during the Chinese New Year has already been eaten, and the new pork has to wait for a long time. , Barely mixed food and clothing.

As for the barrels of canned meat that Li Yunlong gave Ding Wei, Xin Yituan had already eaten them all, and there was not even soup left.

"I want a bowl too."

Kong Jie was still blunt.

"Fuck off."

The leisurely attitude of the two made Li Yunlong furious:
"When I went to the labor and management's house, I didn't bring any greetings, and I wanted to stay here to eat meat, and there was no door..."

"Speak up if you have something, let it go if you have a fart."

Although they are old friends and comrades-in-arms, it also depends on the time and the purpose of watching. He can tell at a glance that these two guys have no good intentions.In the end, he was still pretending here.

After finishing speaking, Captain Li sat down on the chair with a very angry expression on his face.

"Lao Li, has your regiment had any combat missions recently?"

Ding Wei put down his glass, looked at the regiment headquarters with only four people, and said:

"Our initial attack went well. The superior plans to further expand the results and completely cut off the hands and feet of the devils to penetrate into our base area. Our division is responsible for launching the attack on the devils in the Liao area."

"My new regiment and Lao Kong's new second regiment have all received combat missions. This time the troops are planning to fight an unprecedented battle."

"This is the first time for our army to actively attack devils on a large scale." Kong Jie took the words excitedly.

"No."

Li Yunlong's expression returned to calm, he waved his hand, and his tone was calm: "The task given to me by my superiors is to watch over the devils in Shou County and forbid them to go out. In addition, my independent regiment is the reserve team of our brigade, and it will be my turn to go up at the end." .”

"Use your regiment as a reserve team?"

This news surprised Ding Wei.

Li Yunlong and his independent regiment can now be said to be the real first regiment in the entire army. He doesn't know the rest, but the commando Li Yunlong sent to him alone can fight the Devil Squadron head-on without coercion.

Such a powerful army is actually used as a reserve team.

Unbelievable.

"Didn't the ghosts in Shou County be disabled by the two of you? Still watching?" Kong Jie was equally surprised.

"Later, the devils mobilized more than 600 devils from Yangquan, and now there are still a thousand devils in Shou County." Li Datuan's tone was full of disdain for the thousand devils.

A mere [-] devils from the second-tier division were no longer in his eyes. If the independent regiment randomly pulled out two battalions, they would be able to fight head-on with a thousand devils from Shou County. This is why he dared to go to Taiyuan to fight The main reason for Devil's Gold.

"A thousand devils, no wonder!"

Ding Wei was stunned.

According to previous experience, for a thousand devils, at least three full-stack regiments, or two main regiments, can be contained.However, today is different from the past, who would have expected that Li Yunlong, who has a strength similar to that of the devils, would make the devils cry for his father and mother.

This time, the superior also misjudged Li Yunlong's strength.

"It doesn't really mean anything."

Commander Li suddenly smiled, and his tone was full of the sense of a worldly expert: "It's nothing more than shooting a gun tower and ambushing a small army of devils in an advantageous terrain. This battle is meaningless at all."

"The gun tower, I've been really tired of playing crooked recently, ambushing a small army of devils, there are only a hundred or so devils, it's boring."

Kong Jie, Ding Wei, Zhao Gang: "..."

Kong Jie and Ding Wei habitually wanted to say something, but after thinking about it, they didn't know how to say it.

If you think about it carefully, there seems to be nothing wrong with these two sentences.

In the past two months, the two commando teams sent by this kid, including the gun towers of the devils around him, probably pulled out [-] to [-] gun towers.Indeed, it could be said that it was too much to fight, and in the end, his commando pulled out the devil's medium-sized gun towers, almost without losing a single person.

What's more, all the devil's blockhouses around here have been pulled out, except for the few reinforced concrete blockhouses.

Ambushing a small army of devils is boring. For this guy who wiped out a squadron of devils in the Kwantung Army, a brigade of five hundred and a half devils, a hundred or so devils is indeed boring.

"Then you actually stayed in Yang Village honestly?"

"Didn't go to the brigade headquarters to ask for a fight?"

Ding Wei raised his eyebrows.

"Hey hey..."

Li Yunlong's signature is a simple and honest smile: "Why do you go to fight? Go to fight the gun tower. Go to ambush the devil's transport team? This is so boring."

"What are you thinking about, kid?"

Kong Jie and Ding Wei asked at the same time.

"What do I want to do?"

As soon as Li Yunlong's voice changed, he stood up and looked down at the two of them: "You two ran to my regiment headquarters and asked me what I wanted to do? You think you are the brigade commander. Come to check the post?"

"Hahaha··"

Ding Wei rubbed his hands:

"I saw my old comrade-in-arms, and I forgot the business for a while."

"I'm here this time to ask you, Old Li, to borrow something. This army is going to fight the devils. After all, it's a head-to-head confrontation with the devils. I'm a little emboldened. I want to borrow your [-]-style infantry, brother. Cannon, borrow another fifty to fire the cannonball to strengthen your courage."

"My head guarantees that the cannon will be returned to you intact in the end."

"Hahaha···"

Kong Jie also rubbed his hands, and said with a smile:
"I'm here to borrow a few rounds of 82 mortar shells, and I'm going to attack the artillery building next. Although I learned the technique of flat-firing mortars from the headquarters, one cannon is enough, but the shells are not enough."

"I knew that you two dogs have bad intentions, and you are really looking at Laozi's property."

The tone of Li Datuan was cursing.

"but."

His tone suddenly changed: "After all, we have been comrades in arms for more than ten years, and this matter is not unnegotiable."

As soon as these words came out, Kong Jie and Ding Wei immediately looked at each other with doubts in their eyes.

Both of them have already made plans. If Li Yunlong doesn't give it, then they will learn from his trick in the logistics department and refuse to leave. agree.

but···
What happened to this sudden and decisive promise.

"What kind of negotiation?"

Ding Wei narrowed his eyes.

Kong Jie took out his ancestral pipe and held it in his hand, squinting at Li Yunlong as well.

"Type [-] infantry artillery, it's no problem to borrow one, no problem, just get another hundred rounds."

"82 mortar shells, this one is no problem, there are not many, I still have one or two thousand rounds, after all, we are brothers like this, and we have been friends for more than ten years."

"It's all negotiable."

Leader Li's tone was full of confidence.

This time, the battle for pulling out the cannon towers lasted for two months. His two commandos, as well as other units of the independent regiment, pulled out a total of 450 devils' cannon towers, earning 200 nine tons of weapons and ammunition. The brigade headquarters sent more than [-] tons of weapons and ammunition including Type [-] artillery shells, but there are nearly [-] tons left by myself before.

With such a large stock, it is easy to give two old comrades a dozen or twenty tons each.

"what do you want?"

Ding Wei sat up straight while Kong Jie squeezed the pipe in his hand.

Li Yunlong didn't answer directly, he looked at the two old comrades who were moved with a smile, and said in a grinning tone:
"Old Ding, you want a 15-type infantry gun with 82 rounds of shells, and I will give you 82 Czech-style guns with [-] rounds of Mauser pointed bullets, plus [-] rounds of German-made large tumors, and two more [-] mortars, plus [-] rounds of [-] mortar shells."

"Old Kong, I can't borrow infantry guns for the time being, but I can give you three 82 mortars, one thousand rounds of 82 mortar shells, plus five thousand rounds of German-made large tumors, fifty Czech-style, 15 Shot a Mauser point."

"Well, my old comrade-in-arms is interesting enough."

Li Datuan seemed to be a profiteer, and his tone was full of temptation.

After Kong Jie and Ding Wei heard the price, they didn't speak. Instead, they stared at Li Yunlong warily, but their eyes were full of hesitation.

Even Ding Wei, who inherited the legacy of Li Yunlong's new regiment, was extremely excited about this large-scale weapon and ammunition.

Not only ammunition will be consumed, soldiers will be lost due to the battle, weapons and equipment will also be lost due to the battle, and the lost battlefield will be captured by the enemy, damaged by explosions during the battle, because there is no way to replenish, the number of machine guns in his new regiment has been decreasing.

Fifty machine guns, 15 rounds of ammunition, and [-] rounds of ammunition are enough to restore a new batch of weapons and ammunition to the level when he first took over from Li Yunlong.

As for the last two 82 mortars and 82 rounds of shells, Ding Wei almost had a cardiac arrest. Apart from the fact that the accuracy and attacking ability of these guns are not as good as the devil's infantry guns, but because of the high rate of fire and high mobility, they are not suitable for the enemy. Shooting is not at all cowardly.Plus whichever one he had, he would be able to hit a dozen if he encountered a devil brigade in the future. Eight hundred shells were enough for him to toss hard.Not to mention that the headquarters recently invented the mortar flat-fire technology. Li Yunlong's [-] mortar shells here are extremely powerful, and they are very suitable for shooting towers.

but···
Is it easy to get the things of Li Datuan?
The higher the price, the greater the cost.

Kong Jie and Ding Wei looked at each other, their eyes full of hesitation and entanglement.

Also, I'm afraid the dog's disgusted look before was just pretending.

Li Yunlong didn't urge him, he just sat on the chair and watched the two tangled up. As for Zhao Gang, he didn't know when he left. The whole regiment was quiet, occasionally there was the sound of soldiers training at the entrance of the village.

"What do you want us to do?"

After a long time, Ding Wei said such a sentence.

It is not asking what to do, but how to do it. This statement is agreed.

"Hahaha···"

Li Yunlong laughed out loud immediately: "After a period of time, about two or three months, each of you will lend me two battalions of troops."

According to news from Chen Fan's brother, about two or three months later, the next business will start. This time, the business target is very big, and it will be a big catch.

"Two battalions?"

Ding Wei and Kong Jie took a breath at the same time.

Both the New First Regiment and the New Second Regiment have a three-battalion system. Li Yunlong means that through this batch of weapons and ammunition, he wants the command of their regiment, and it seems to be acting privately.

The two hesitated a little.

Among them, Kong Jie was very hesitant. The new second regiment had a weak foundation and only had 100 people at full strength. Ding Wei was fine. His new first regiment had more than 300 people, and the two battalions could accept it.

However, the problem is that they are not Li Yunlong. It is okay to transfer one battalion privately, but two...

"If the business is approved, I will add another three hundred [-] caps captured by the devils, and [-] rounds of Arisaka rifle ammunition."

Li Yunlong then added another sentence.

Most of these [-] caps were captured by him, and some of them were exchanged by him with Chen Fan. The bullets were also partially captured and partially exchanged.It's useless for him to keep it anyway. Now the Independence Regiment has all been replaced with Mauser rifles, and all machine guns have been replaced with Bren type, and the bullets are universal.

"We each have [-] rifles?" Ding Wei asked.

"Yes, three hundred sticks per person." Li Yunlong said.

Kong Jie and Ding Wei looked at each other again, and the hesitant eyes faded away.

Three hundred rifles, although they are the devil's three-eighth gun, are still good guns. With a few machine guns, a new battalion can be formed, and there will be four battalions in the army.

In this way, there is no problem in mobilizing the two battalions.

It's a big deal to be recorded as a demerit, but it's worth it for this batch of weapons and ammunition.

"it is good."

The two said at the same time, with the same smile on their faces.

"Hahaha···"

Seeing this, Li Yunlong also smiled happily: "Let's go, the three of us have a taste of our group's cooking class tonight, and the braised pork is full."

"Hahahaha, then I won't be polite."
