Rise from the sword

Chapter 392 Before Going to Headquarters

On the way back to the independent group, Li Yunlong quickly recovered his mood.

More than ten years of war career, countless ups and downs, and the familiar parting of life and death have forged Li Datuan's superb mental quality. He never entangles in the things that have passed and cannot be changed.

The price has been negotiated, and the deal is done. It is meaningless to entangle and regret it.

It is better to look ahead.

"This time I was careless."

"When I heard that there were 160 officers and cadres, I was a little carried away with joy. I lost my size for a while. At that time, the brigade commander obviously opened his mouth like a lion, and he actually agreed."

"Careless, careless."

"In the future, when discussing business, no matter how satisfied you are, you must lower the price!"

Silently remembering the lesson this time, and after learning the lesson, Li Yunlong quickly threw himself into the planning of the next business.

The trip to the Ministry of Tourism was successfully completed.

Although the expenses far exceeded the budget, they only planned to spend 160 tons of grain, but in the end they spent [-] tons of grain and took away five big mules.But the harvest is also far beyond expectations. [-] officers and cadres have completely solved the problem of the lack of officers in the independent regiment.

He even got seven mechanical technical arms.

"Now there are [-] tons of grain left."

Riding on the horse, heading towards Zhao Jiayu, Li Yunlong counted on his fingers in his heart.

Next is the headquarters.

"The budget of the headquarters is [-] tons of grain."

Li Yunlong counted his price tag.

He left a stock of [-] tons of grain to the independent regiment, and the rest will support other base areas. Of course, there are also some benefits by the way.

It can't be given for nothing, can it?
Although according to his calculations, an independent regiment of 5000 members needs to consume about [-] to [-] tons of staple food every year while maintaining high-intensity training, which is more than three tons per day, but the actual consumption does not have this amount.

Zhao Jiayu is located in a dense mountainous area, and there are only mountain forests and horse roads nearby. It has always been a stable base with a high mass base.

Recently, there are devils stationed in Ping'an County, 1000 kilometers away, and there is only one brigade of devils, which is still a second-line brigade, plus the puppet army, there are only more than [-] people. , otherwise this is a solid base.

In a stable base area, troops can engage in production without being ready to move at any time.

Grow your own food and raise your own livestock.

Five thousand soldiers, five thousand well-fed guys, that is, five thousand strong laborers, usually trained and guarded, and some of them can be mobilized to work in the fields when the farming is busy.

And big mules.

It's not just transport that's good at it.

In agricultural production, big mules are also very eye-catching. They plow the fields and carry camels. The efficiency is that one head can catch up to ten cows at least. It is also more durable than cows, easy to feed, and not easy to get sick.

When water is scarce, water can even be transported from the river to irrigate the fields.

In times of famine, there are few rains throughout the year. Wheat and corn require a lot of water, which cannot be met by relying on big mules to transport water. After all, it is impossible for the army to compete with the common people for good land. The independent group can only plant some Remote and dry land, but millet or something, it is still no problem.

As long as the first few months have passed, the independent regiment will gradually become self-sufficient, and food consumption will be greatly reduced at that time.

Not to mention finding devils and earning food.

Fighting devils is much more cost-effective than farming. Killing a technical unit of devils casually will be a bumper year, comparable to raiding the granary of a big bully landlord.

After ordering his wallet and purse, Li Yunlong began to ponder in his heart:
"Continue to focus on grassroots officers and cadres. The more the better, anyway, the first batch of people at the Anti-Japanese University is 800 people, and there must be a lot at the headquarters. Let's exchange [-] tons of grain."

"Change a few more artillery groups that can use mountain artillery, preferably three. You have to find the division commander or the boss for this. Well, two 120 mortars, plus a thousand tons of grain, will definitely be available."

"In this way, including Yansheng himself, there will be six qualified artillery groups, and the mountain artillery company will be able to form combat effectiveness as soon as possible. Presumably, the little devil has already started repairing Taiyuan Airport, so we need to speed up!"

"Also, find Brother Chen to exchange more medical kits, and go to Lao Liu's place to train more military doctors. There are not enough health workers in the army."

"and also·····"

After going through the defense of Shouxian County and the big sweep, Li Yunlong also discovered the problems faced by the independent regiment.

There are not enough military doctors in the regiment. Although there are medical kits and sufficient medicines, there is a serious shortage of doctors, and each company can't get one. As a result, many soldiers have not had time to treat them, or they have given wrong treatment.

When Li Yunlong returned to Zhaojiayu, it was already late at night.

As soon as he entered the regiment headquarters, Li Yunlong saw Zhao Gang and Sun Desheng sitting at the table, muttering to a book. It looked like Sun Desheng was discussing something with Zhao Gang.

Under the oil lamp, the two were extremely focused and did not notice Li Yunlong's entry at all.

"correct··"

Seeing this scene, Li Yunlong's heart moved.

"We have to find Zhang Wanhe some intellectuals, preferably college students. It's too tiring for Lao Zhao to be responsible for the cultural knowledge training of the whole group alone. With the addition of technology, Zhang Wanhe will definitely agree. "

The monks in the regiment, Sun Desheng, Huang Baowang and others were able to learn to read so quickly, and even read books by themselves, not only because of their own efforts, but also because of Zhao Gang's careful teaching.

Li Yunlong planned to go directly to Zhang Wanhe for the cultural knowledge training in the teacher's teaching group.

With the development of the logistics department, especially the expansion of the arsenal and the establishment of the livestock farm, Zhang Wanhe, who is in charge of the logistics, has more and more people under his command, and can directly mobilize some personnel.

·····
the next day.

Li Yunlong is very busy.

The second batch of [-] tons of grain has also arrived, and there are some weapons and ammunition. He has to organize people to carry them. This is a big project. Also, the army has just arrived with a group of new officers. , which is also a hassle.

After finishing the two tasks, Li Yunlong was exhausted even with Zhang Dabiao's assistance.

On the third day, the transport team from the brigade also arrived. Li Yunlong was busy integrating the troops, and Zhao Gang was in charge of reception.

In order to transport food, Staff Officer Luo in charge not only sent a transport team of more than 4000 carts, but also mobilized three main groups, a transport team of nearly [-] people, and borrowed a large number of wheelbarrows from ordinary people's homes .

On the horse track, a small cart can transport about two hundred catties in one trip.

There are many people and strength, and the mighty transport wheelbarrows, together with the convoy conscripted by the Independent Regiment, transported more than [-] tons of grain in just one trip, and the transport volume was comparable to a steam train.

The transport work lasted six days.

By the way, the transportation team also widened the road. Although cars and trucks cannot be used, it is more convenient for wheelbarrows and horse-drawn carriages to travel.

Such a large-scale transportation team even alarmed the devils, and the lurking devils' intelligence personnel, after figuring out the food to be transported, sent the news back to Taiyuan by telegram as soon as possible.

The Taiyuan devils who received the news were planning to sabotage, but finally found that they had nothing to do.

Let the plane blow up, Taiyuan Airport has not been repaired yet, and the range of other airports is not enough.Moreover, the fuel and bombs were all used up in the previous sweep, and few reconnaissance planes could even take off.

Launching a sweep is even more useless.

Over there is the core area of ​​the people's base. If you want to attack, you have to use at least [-] troops and a lot of supplies. After the large-scale raid by the [-] troops before, now the imperial army warehouse, mice will cry when they enter.

Helpless, the Taiyuan devils could only stare blankly at the mighty transport team.

······
On the first day of the grain transportation.

Ding Wei returned to Xinyi Regiment from the brigade headquarters, dragging a bag of grain on his horseback.

Yes, a bag.

"Captain, you are..."

Looking at the bag of grain on the horse's back, and looking at the smiling face of the head of the regiment, the first battalion grows up and is a little dazed.

The Xinyi Regiment suffered little loss this time, about one-fifth of the staff was reduced, and the equipment was still complete. However, food was scarce, and the new base could not replenish it. The head of the regiment was going to report to the brigade headquarters this time. By the way, he thought about how to solve it. lack of food.

But why did he bring back a bag of grain.

And smile very happily

"Ha ha···"

Ding Wei laughed, and unloaded the bag of grain on the horse by himself, with a cheerful tone:
"The food problem is solved."

The brigade department gave him a bag of grain and told him about the [-]-ton grain trade, and then drove him out.

Ding Wei understood in an instant, this meant that he had to go to Li Yunlong himself to ask for it, implying that Li Yunlong still had many, many more, and the head returned to Xinyituan happily.

"solved?"

Cheng He was taken aback for a moment, then looked at the bag of grain, his eyes froze, and his tone was surprised:

"This is from the independent group."

He recognized this grain bag, this kind of cotton, exquisite grain bag, only stored in the independent regiment, in other areas, even the devils are reluctant to use such a good cotton cloth to store grain.

The Xinyi Regiment had received food assistance from the Independent Regiment before, and originally wanted to go to the Independent Regiment for help, but news came later that the Independent Regiment had suffered heavy losses in this raid, with nearly half of the soldiers reduced and two-thirds of the cadres lost. The equipment also suffered heavy losses, so I didn't go.

"Then let's go to the independent regiment now?"

Cheng He's tone was impatient.

It is true that the food problem of the new regiment is already very serious. After all, the new regiment has expanded its army, and its number is comparable to the size of the two main regiments.

As for whether Captain Li will give it or not, Cheng He is not worried at all.

It is rumored that Li Datuan is notoriously stingy, but when he really needs help and is able to help, he has never been stingy.

"Do not."

Ding Wei narrowed his eyes:
"I'll go to Kong Jie first."

·····
It was also the same day, the third day after Li Yunlong returned from the brigade headquarters, and the first day when the grain transportation began.

Staff Officer Mo from the headquarters staff came to the brigade headquarters and met with Staff Officer Luo of the brigade.
