Liang Jian: Commander, save some for me

"Oh no, I almost forgot to call the chief!" Li Yunlong realized while eating that he had forgotten to call the chief after returning.

"Why don't you go and fight!" Zhao Gang urged.

"Forget it, I'll eat first and then fight." Li Yunlong was about to get up, but he sat down again. There was no rush anyway, so he decided to finish his meal first.

Hearing this, several people felt helpless.

"We have made a lot of gains this time. I decided to keep 30% of the supplies for the New 1st Regiment and hand over the rest. What do you think?" After Li Yunlong finished speaking, he looked at the few people. His face was greasy from eating.

"Leave 30%? With the current supplies of our regiment, wouldn't it be a bit too much to keep 30%?" Zhao Gang hesitated.

If he had just come to the New 1st Regiment, it would be understandable that he kept 30% of the captured supplies, after all, the regiment had not yet developed.

But now the new regiment is developing the fastest among all the troops. If their regiment's supplies are distributed, at least three regiments of troops can be formed.

Therefore, Zhao Gang felt that it was not appropriate to keep 30% of the supplies, and he should consider other troops. After all, there were still many troops with relatively few weapons, especially heavy weapons.

"What the political commissar said makes sense. Although I also hope that the New 1st Regiment has as much supplies as possible, we cannot just think about ourselves. We still have to help other troops." Deputy Regiment Commander Qian also agreed with what Zhao Gang said.

Their New 1st Regiment really doesn't lack anything now, so they shouldn't take too many supplies.

"In fact, the main reason is that our conscription quota is full. If we need so many weapons, the commander-in-chief will not give us so many conscription quotas.

Rather than leaving these weapons in the warehouse to gather dust, it would be better to distribute them to other troops," Chief of Staff Zhong said after careful consideration.

The recruitment for the new regiment was already full. Even if the leaders gave them more places, it would not be too many and would not be enough to equip the weapons that remained.

Thirty percent of the supplies would be more than 1,800 rifles, and the leader would only give them a maximum of 1,000 conscription quotas.

"Li Jin, what do you say?!" Seeing that several people disagreed, Li Yunlong looked at Li Jin and asked for his opinion.

"The 30% that the commander mentioned should not be all. It's okay to keep 30% for rifles, but for machine guns and cannons, 20% is enough. Too much is not appropriate." Li Jin thought about it and gave an answer.

In fact, what other troops lack most is heavy weapons. Even one more light machine gun can reduce a lot of casualties. Therefore, he thinks that keeping 20% ​​of machine guns is enough.

The machine guns and cannons of many troops combined probably do not account for more than 20%.

"What you said is exactly what I thought. Can't you guys think more about whether I am the kind of person who only cares about myself?" Li Yunlong decisively agreed with what Li Jin said, and looked at Zhao Gang and the others to preach.

This was what he thought at the beginning. He planned to keep 30% of the rifles because many troops were no longer in short supply of rifles. What they lacked were machine guns and artillery. Therefore, it would be no problem to keep more rifles to complete the task.

"Well, that's because you didn't make it clear. Who knows if the 30% you mentioned is the total 30% or separate 30%?" Deputy Captain Qian responded with a light cough. This can't be blamed on him.

"That's right, why didn't you say it earlier? The 30% you mentioned before was actually the total 30%. Who knew it would change this time?" Chief of Staff Zhong also echoed.

Only Zhao Gang did not say much, because he found that he still did not know Li Yunlong well enough. However, what the other two said was also right, and it was indeed not their fault.

"Okay, okay, it's all my problem. It has nothing to do with you. I didn't explain it clearly." Li Yunlong did not make too many excuses. It was indeed he who did not explain it clearly, but he did not think that other people would understand what he meant by 30%.

In the end, it turned out that Li Jin understood him better and thought almost exactly the same as him.

"Our regiment will exchange 30% of our rifles with the Japanese's Type 38 rifles, and hand over the rest. There can't be anyone who disagrees with this." Li Yunlong continued speaking, and at the end he looked at several people with a scrutinizing gaze, which made their scalps numb.

"No problem. Our soldiers' rifles are not too old. We can give them to other troops. They are more than enough.

In this way, other troops will have more guns, and our troops' combat effectiveness will also be greatly enhanced. "Deputy Regiment Commander Qian said quickly. Even if Li Yunlong didn't say it, he would have brought it up.

Currently 60% of the soldiers in their regiment are using the Japanese Type 38 rifle, and now another 20% have been replaced, which means 80% now. Although the Type 38 rifle is indeed not as good as the Type 38 rifle and the Hanyang rifle in terms of lethality, this gun has good performance.

"That's good enough." After hearing this, Li Yunlong nodded with satisfaction.

Everyone continued to eat, and at this time, in the meeting room of the 386th Brigade.

The chief and the political commissar were also having dinner. They were reading a new newspaper while eating. It was a newspaper about the New 1st Regiment and a Northeast Army unit cooperating to blow up the Japanese airport.

The reason for writing it this way is to prevent the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army from thinking that this Northeast Army is their Eighth Route Army, and to completely dispel the other party's idea.

"If Li Yunlong saw this newspaper, he would probably be so happy that he couldn't stop grinning." The political commissar said happily.

"Need I say more? This kid is so proud of himself." The chief smiled. He knew Li Yunlong's character too well. He was the kind of person who would take advantage of others and still act ungratefully.

"The person who made the greatest contribution to this matter is Li Jin, but in order to allow him to get more supplies for the troops, he has to bear the brunt of it." The political commissar couldn't help but sigh. With all the contributions Li Jin had made, he didn't know how many times he would have been in the newspapers.

"Well, yes. Although he didn't say anything, we can't forget it. When their identities are announced one day, we have to tell everything about this. We have to let others know how much Li Jin has contributed to the army!" The chief also nodded.

Since he is a hero, his deeds cannot be buried. We should publicize him more and let reporters interview him.

"Yes, that's right." The political commissar nodded.

"Come to think of it, I got the news that when Li Jin and his men attacked the airport, the Japanese mobilized the Osaka Division to take action. In the end, an entire brigade of soldiers in that division suffered from vomiting and diarrhea." The chief changed the subject and mentioned this trivial matter.

"Didn't Li Jin sell a lot of laxatives to the Osaka Division? It seems that the other party really used them." The political commissar also remembered this.

"Yes, that's true. It shows that the Osaka Division does not want to obey the orders of the Japanese high-level officials at all, so they used this method." The commander nodded.

It can be basically confirmed that the Osaka Division is no longer a threat at all. If you still doubted the Osaka Division's previous performance, it was all intentional, but it is impossible that it will be the case this time.

The airport was about to be bombed. Faced with such a serious incident, the Japanese soldiers of the Osaka Division would rather take laxatives than carry out combat missions. It must be that the other side did not want to fight.

"If there were more troops like this, maybe we wouldn't have such a hard time." The political commissar couldn't help but sigh. If the Japanese troops were like the Osaka Division, who only liked to do business and make money, and made all kinds of excuses when fighting, maybe they wouldn't have lost so many people. "The Osaka Division is unique to the Japanese. It is a unit composed of businessmen. It is really different from those brainwashed by militarism." The leader said. When the two sides were compared, the difference was obvious.

"Yes, but the Japanese have also been having a hard time in the past two years. Judging from the intelligence we have received, the Japanese have mobilized a lot of new soldiers from their country in the past two years.
These new recruits have not been trained as long as the old soldiers from the past two years. Moreover, I don't think the new recruits have been completely brainwashed.

So, I think, if we fight the devils later, maybe we can try to capture some prisoners and persuade them to defect." The political commissar couldn't help but suggest it.

In the past two years, the Japanese devils were completely brainwashed by militarism. Therefore, in their minds, they would rather die in battle than surrender, but now it is different.

When new recruits who have not been completely brainwashed begin to appear in the Japanese army, future battles may be easier.

Because they have not been thoroughly brainwashed, it means that these new Japanese recruits will be afraid of death and will choose to surrender. As long as they are persuaded and educated, many of them will surely turn to the light.

"What you said makes some sense." Upon hearing this, the leader nodded in agreement.

Although he really didn't like the Japs, he also understood that this war was very severe and they needed to gather all kinds of forces to resist. Even if they were Japs' soldiers, as long as they were willing to cooperate and join the anti-war alliance, it would be fine.

Although the Japanese now do not have the ability to launch a large-scale war involving hundreds of thousands of people, they are still capable of launching small-scale wars involving thousands or tens of thousands of people. Until now, many counties have been captured by the Japanese.

The advantage was still not on their side, that is, they took advantage of the Japanese and eliminated the most Japanese with the least casualties. On the other hand, the losses of the National Army were still very heavy.

"Actually, I always feel that the resistance from the National Army is not active enough. It seems that if the Japanese attack me, I will defend myself. If they don't attack me, I will not take the initiative to cause trouble for them." The political commissar couldn't help but say.

Anyway, surrender is impossible, but it is also unlikely to actively recover lost territory.

"There are indeed quite a few people in their group who are somewhat negative, even that person is like that, so, seeing this situation,

The higher-ups are thinking of doing something big to boost morale and let the people know that they are still resisting!" the chief said slowly.

If we continue to be negative, it will not be a good thing. It will easily make many people feel desperate. There must be a big war, and a won war, to ignite the hope of victory in the hearts of the people!

"Well, but if we do this, I'm afraid the National Army will be wary of us." The political commissar said. Fighting a big war with the Japanese would mean exposing the development of the troops. By then, they would be more wary of them than the Japanese.

Their current level of development will basically surprise everyone once all the troops are mobilized.

"It doesn't matter. Even if we are exposed, they won't dare to do anything. At most, they will just not give us supplies. Besides, they don't give us much supplies now.
The supplies were basically captured by the troops, especially Li Jin, who captured so many supplies that it is hard to count them. He deserves the credit for the rapid development. "The commander couldn't help but smile when he said this.

They are now self-sufficient, many troops have raised livestock, and the soldiers can basically have three meals a day.

"That's true." The political commissar nodded.

"All necessary preparations have been made, there's no rush," the leader continued.

Ring ring ring......

Just then, the phone on the table rang.

"This is most likely a call from Li Yunlong. Do you believe it?" the leader said with a smile.

"Of course I believe it. It seems that he has returned to the New 1st Regiment." The political commissar responded. Calculating the time, Li Yunlong could return to the New 1st Regiment today.

"Hello." The chief answered the phone.

"Commander, it's me, Li Yunlong." Li Yunlong's flattering laughter came from the phone.

"I know it's you. None of the Japanese pilots you captured died, right?!" the leader asked directly.

This group of Japanese pilots are still very important, and he doesn't want a few of them to die, lest his bargaining chips become smaller.

"Don't worry, Commander. No one died. I served them well and didn't abuse them at all." Li Yunlong said quickly.

"That's fine. Send the people over tomorrow. By the way, don't keep too much of the captured supplies. The New 1st Regiment is so rich now. It's time to consider other troops." The leader gave another instruction.

The New 1st Regiment seized a lot of weapons and ammunition this time, including nearly 8,000 rifles alone, as well as various light and heavy machine guns, mortars and grenade launchers. If Li Yunlong kept more, other troops would not be able to be equipped with heavy firepower, so he had to give some instructions.

"Yes! I promise not to stay any longer!" Li Yunlong promised solemnly.

"Yeah." The leader nodded.

"Commander, have you eaten?!" Li Yunlong asked cautiously.

"After eating, say what you want to say, and fart if you want to." The leader knew as soon as he heard it that Li Yunlong must have something to say.

"Hey, Chief, when will the whole army start to announce the commendation? By the way, the New 1st Regiment did blow up the Japanese airport after all. Such a great achievement should be reported in the newspaper, right?!" Li Yunlong stated his purpose.

He just wanted to hear the news of the army-wide commendation as soon as possible. This was very important to him, otherwise how could he brag to his old comrades.

"Let's talk about this later. Don't think about it all day long. Let's leave it at that for now." The leader hung up the phone without giving Li Yunlong a chance to speak.

"Commander, what did that kid Li Yunlong say?!" the political commissar asked with a smile.

"What else can I say? This kid just wants us to announce his commendation to the whole army as soon as possible so that he can show off to others. How can I not understand him?" The leader responded. Li Yunlong is a good person in all aspects, except that he is prone to trouble and likes to brag.

"Hahaha, you can't blame him for this. After all, being commended by the entire army is much better than rewarding him with a lot of money." The political commissar laughed a few times and said that being commended by the entire army is an honor for a unit.
