I'm killing enemies with my sword and exploding equipment

Seeing Yang Yuanshan taking away all the war horses and horse meat from Li Yunlong, Ding Wei and Zhang Dabiao became very jealous.

He immediately jumped out to argue with Li Yunlong and pestered him, wanting to directly divide up the seized grain.

Unfortunately, Li Yunlong was reminded by the brigade commander's previous order and was worried about the drought in southeastern Shanxi and Henan Province, so he resolutely kept most of the grain as strategic reserves.

Only 5 kilograms of fine grains and 10 kilograms of coarse grains were distributed to the new regiment.

The independent regiment, because of its large number of people, received 10 kilograms of fine grains and 30 kilograms of coarse grains.

It was just a supplement for their recent consumption.

Of course, in order to appease the soldiers of the two regiments, Li Yunlong did not forcefully ask the two to hand over the equipment they had seized.

Anyway, Pan Wensong has so much equipment in his hands that it gives him a headache about where to store it.

……

In addition to food, Li Yunlong also distributed some of the captured Japanese military uniforms, marching blankets, etc. to each regiment.

Let them take it back and ask their fellow villagers to help them dye and modify it for making military uniforms and bedding.

Yang Yuanshan also received a share for 3,000 people.

Considering that his warhorse also needed food, Li Yunlong specially gave him 5 kilograms of black beans as horse feed.

——This is, of course, not unconditional.

To this end, Yang Yuanshan agreed to send him 200 flamethrowers and 2000 fuel tanks.

……

After dividing the spoils, Li Yunlong said to Ding Wei and Xing Zhiguo:
"Old Ding, Old Xing, our battle is not over yet.

After you return, you must immediately reorganize your troops and advance westward.

Prepare to help the special forces regiment to welcome the several divisions of the Japanese coming from the west to the east! "

"What? Still fighting?
Lao Li, our troops are almost wiped out!"

Although Xing Zhiguo was used to obeying orders from his superiors, he couldn't help but jump out to object at this moment.

Their independent regiment, which had more than 10,000 people, was reduced to only a few thousand people. This loss was truly tragic!

Ding Wei tentatively suggested:

"Old Li, I also think that we can't continue to fight this way.

Now all of our regiments have suffered serious injuries.

It would be foolish to continue fighting against several divisions of Japanese soldiers!

I think we still have to fight guerrilla warfare and mobile warfare, create opportunities among the mountains and ridges, split up the large Japanese forces, and disperse and annihilate the enemy!"

Seeing that both of them had objections, Li Yunlong's face suddenly darkened.

Just as he was about to open his mouth to scold them for talking too much to him, Yang Yuanshan stood up and explained:

"Captain Ding, Captain Xing, you don't need to worry too much.

In the short term, the only thing we have to deal with is the Japanese 26th Division.

This division is a Type B division, with only over 10,000 men in total."

"More than 10,000 people are not a pushover!"

Xing Zhiguo is still worried.

“Captain Xing, there’s nothing to be afraid of in this division.

They went south from Wucheng, but were blocked by comrades from the Yanbei Detachment in Daizhou, Gangxian and Xinkou, and suffered heavy losses.

With the remaining strength of our group, we can swallow them all in one gulp."

After hearing what he said, Ding Wei and Xing Zhiguo felt a little relieved.

The difference in difficulty between dealing with a Class B division that is exhausted from a long battle and has suffered heavy losses and dealing with several fully-strength divisions is huge!
Zhang Dabiao asked with some worry on his face:
"Yang Yuanshan, there are only 6000 people left in your regiment. Do you still dare to say that you can deal with the 26th Division?"

Yang Yuanshan smiled slightly:
“It shouldn’t be a big problem.

The losses of our regiment this time were mainly from the infantry battalion.

The combat effectiveness of the two artillery battalions did not suffer much loss.

If the 26th Division of the Japanese army really invades our territory alone, we will use mountain artillery, howitzers, and heavy mortars to beat them to their knees and call them grandpa! "

Hearing his domineering words, everyone present was very envious.

In our army, the only one who dares to say that their artillery is stronger than their infantry is probably the Special Forces Regiment, right?

Xing Zhiguo even asked curiously:

"Captain Yang, you still have howitzers? What caliber is it?"

"Hey, just a few 105mm howitzers, nothing special."

Yang Yuanshan was worried that Li Yunlong would rob, so he just said something perfunctory.

He didn't dare to show off at all, as he was about to build a battalion of 20 105mm American howitzers.

He dared not even say that the four howitzers he now had were self-propelled howitzers, which were more useful in fighting than ten ordinary howitzers.

But even this makes everyone drool.

The headquarters artillery regiment only relies on the 75mm mountain cannon to maintain its appearance!

This guy has a basic regiment and he has 105mm howitzers. It's really infuriating!
Li Yunlong couldn't help but sigh:

"Your little bastard life is more comfortable than that of a leader like me!"

"Haha, that's right!"

Ding Wei and others followed suit, and for a moment, the atmosphere in the cave was very joyful.

……

After a while, the laughter stopped, and Ding Wei asked seriously:

"Yang Yuanshan, you just said that in the short term we only have to deal with the 26th Division, what about the long term?"

Yang Yuanshan sighed in his heart: Ding Wei's sense of battlefield is indeed sharp.

While replying:
"Intelligence shows that the Japanese 37th, 41st, and 62nd Divisions are rushing from southern Shanxi to Jinyang City. Their target is definitely us.

Once they arrive and we haven't destroyed the 26th Division yet, the situation will be dire.

So the leader dispatched your two regiments to move westward to prepare for this extreme situation."

When Ding Wei heard this, his eyes lit up and he sighed:

"Wow, three more divisions!
This battle is getting bigger and bigger!
Lao Li, you are living the addiction of a brigade commander or a division commander!"

In fact, what he said was still conservative.

In the past, only the vice president could command such a big battle!

When brigade commanders and division commanders face a mopping-up operation by one or two divisions, they have to find ways to divert their troops rather than engaging in a head-on confrontation.

Li Yunlong didn't think too much about it. He grinned and said proudly:
"Hey, who told you that when you were in the army, I was already the squad leader!"

Seeing this guy's tail was so high up in the sky, Ding Wei felt jealous.

Replied in a gloomy way:
"You are the deputy monitor!"

Li Yunlong continued to brag:
"Isn't the deputy monitor the monitor?"

This time, Ding Wei was speechless.

Xing Zhiguo saw that they were going off topic again, so he quickly stepped out to interrupt:

"Captain Yang, if these three Japanese divisions really come to attack us, what should we do?
With the strength of Northwest Shanxi, it is absolutely impossible for us to withstand three divisions!"

Yang Yuanshan nodded slightly:
“Once these three divisions really enter our base, we can only fight and retreat, cover each other, and mobilize the villagers to move into the mountains.

However, now there are more than a dozen regiments of brother troops, totaling tens of thousands of people, from the north of Jinyang City to the Xinkou area.

As long as we can destroy the 26th Division before these three Japanese regiments arrive, the force in our hands will be very powerful.

By then, there may still be opportunities to fight.

After all, even if the Japanese sent out three divisions at the same time, there must be a first and a last mile, and a baggage troop to transport supplies! "

After hearing what he said, Xing Zhiguo immediately felt relieved.

Nodding repeatedly:

"I understand."

……

Next, Li Yunlong discussed the follow-up action plan with them in detail, and then let everyone disperse.

Then order the telegraph operator:
"Send a telegram to the brigade headquarters, reporting that our troops in northwestern Shanxi, mainly the special forces regiment, completely wiped out the Japanese 2st and 4th Divisions in Huangping Town, killing two lieutenant general division commanders and four major general brigade commanders.

In this battle, our army lost about 500 people, captured more than Japanese soldiers, and killed about enemies.

It is expected that there will be more gains in the subsequent pursuit of the Japanese transport troops and wounded soldiers.

At the same time, a large number of weapons, equipment and food supplies were seized! "

"Yes!"

The telegraph operator gave a loud roar and sat down to work in great excitement.

As a member of northwestern Shanxi, he was of course proud of such a great victory.

And Li Yunlong added:
"Remember to synchronize the telegram to Lao Zhao as well."

"understand!"

……

It is said that Yang Yuanshan, Ding Wei, Xing Zhiguo and Zhang Dabiao left Li Yunlong's temporary command center together. Everyone had uncontrollable joy on their faces.

Not only were they happy about the victory, but they also had a good result after dividing up the spoils, which was double the happiness. As soon as they walked out of the cave, Ding Wei stopped Yang Yuanshan and asked:

"Captain Yang, you just said that you want to exchange people for weapons and equipment. How do you do that?"

Yang Yuanshan replied with a smile:

"Captain Ding, please tell me what you want first!

Otherwise, I won’t be able to make an offer.”

Ding Wei heard this, hesitated for a moment, and said:
"I want 6 75mm mountain guns and 12 Type infantry guns!"

The light weapons captured on the battlefield were enough for their regiment.

Only mountain artillery and infantry artillery are hard to come by and should not be missed.

When Yang Yuanshan heard that Ding Wei had such a big appetite, he was immediately delighted.

——Ding Wei has a big appetite, so he can exchange a lot of people!

Thinking about the shortage of troops in his regiment, he carefully made an offer:

"How about 100 men per mountain artillery and 50 men per infantry artillery?"

If Ding Wei can agree to this condition, he will be able to get back 1200 people this time, which is enough to restore the combat effectiveness of his two infantry battalions.

When Ding Wei heard Yang Yuanshan's conditions, he was delighted.

After all, what the other side wants are just new recruits.

Not a veteran.

100 people can be exchanged for a brand new mountain cannon, which is a huge profit.

But the infantry gun is a bit expensive.

But in business, if you don’t bargain, you’d be in big trouble.

So he immediately put on an expression that said, "Are you taking me for a fool?" and firmly objected:

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!

Yang Yuanshan, your price is too high!

Do you think it's easy to recruit soldiers now?"

In fact, he even thought about sending people back to find a group of traitors to fight, and bring back some traitor prisoners who were willing to join the army to make up the numbers. It seemed possible.

"Then Captain Ding, what do you think the price should be?"

Yang Yuanshan asked with a smile.

He had already vaguely realized that Ding Wei was performing.

After all, his acting skills are too exaggerated!
"50 men for each mountain artillery piece, 20 men for each infantry artillery piece!"

Ding Wei waved a 50-meter-long sword and started bargaining.

Yang Yuanshan was obviously shocked by his shamelessness.

With such a small number of people, you want to replace your own brand new guns? Isn’t that just a dream?
Not to mention, I also have to provide him with ammunition!
He immediately sneered and said sarcastically:

"Captain Ding, your price is very good!
How about this, I recruit soldiers for you and you give me artillery?"

Seeing that he looked like he was going to break up with her, Ding Wei felt a little panicked.

Quickly laughed awkwardly:

"Hey! I don't have any guns for you."

Then he gritted his teeth and raised the price:
"How about 80 men for the mountain artillery and 20 men for the infantry artillery?"

"not so good!"

Yang Yuanshan shook his head.

Coldly and ruthlessly said:

“The price I offered was very fair.

Captain Ding, if you don’t want to, forget it.

Believe it or not, if I send a telegram to the brigade commander and ask him to replace people with this condition, he can easily send me tens of thousands of people! "

Of course, he said this to scare Ding Wei.

Not to mention that it was impossible for him to send a message to the brigade commander without going through Li Yunlong.

Even if he really did that and the brigade commander agreed, it would be like a drop in the ocean for the other side to transfer people all the way from the Taiyue Division to northwestern Shanxi.

It will take several months to complete!
……

Ding Wei certainly knew that the cannon in Yang Yuanshan's hands was a rare commodity.

Seeing that he was about to turn hostile when he disagreed with me, I could only admit defeat and said:

“Okay, then the mountain artillery will have 100 men, but the infantry artillery will have 30 men per piece!
And you have to give me 500 rounds for each gun!"

Yang Yuanshan thought that at this price, he could get 960 people, which was not bad.

However, the condition of 500 rounds of shells for each gun is still too outrageous.

Although he has no shortage of ammunition, he doesn't want to be taken advantage of by this guy!
So he sneered:

"Captain Ding, you really dare to think so!

Do you think my shells fell from the sky?"

Ding Wei laughed:
"You have a lot of shells anyway, so give me some. It's also for fighting the Japanese, so that makes sense, right?"

Yang Yuanshan was complaining in his heart that who was weaker was right, which was too pure, and he shook his head like a rattle:
"Captain Ding, each gun has 500 rounds of ammunition, so these 18 guns have nearly rounds of ammunition!

Even if I give it to you, you won't be able to transport it, right?"

“Hey, don’t worry about this, just give me the shells and I’ll find a way to transport them away.

At worst, I can dig a hole and bury them first, and then I can use a batch and dig a batch!"

Ding Wei laughed happily.

Are our troops still afraid of having too many artillery shells?
“500 is impossible.

At most, you will be given 200 rounds of ammunition for each gun, not a single round more!"

Yang Yuanshan said with certainty.

"400! Not even one less!"

Ding Wei also had a firm attitude.

“300! If you don’t want to do it, forget it.

I can give you the guns and shells first, and you can give me the people within a month."

Yang Yuanshan was too lazy to waste time talking to the other party.

He gave his final price.

Ding Wei seemed to realize that he would not increase the stakes any further, and immediately agreed excitedly:

"make a deal!"

After all, Yang Yuanshan’s conditions were really too generous!
He couldn't bear to see this deal fall through!

He even wondered if he could resell the two old 2mm mountain cannons he had captured on the battlefield and make a profit from the difference!
I have to say that Ding Wei's talent for business is no worse than that of Jin people!

……

The deal was done and Yang Yuanshan was very happy.

So he smiled and asked:
"Captain Ding, where should I deliver the cannon and shells to you?

You will be heading west soon, so there is no need to transport it to Huangping Town, right?"

Ding Wei nodded and answered thoughtfully:

"How about you transport it to Heyuan County for me?

Should I arrange for someone to move it myself? "

"Okay, that's it!

Five days later, you can arrange for someone to go to Heyuan County."

Yang Yuanshan agreed immediately.

He thought that he would pass by Heyuan County in 5 days.

Then he rolled his eyes and suggested with a smile:

"Captain Ding, do you have enough artillery?

How about you send some literate artillerymen to my artillery battalion to learn?
In my artillery battalion, daily training is all live-fire shooting, and I guarantee you’ll learn it!”

Is there such a good thing?

Ding Wei was ready to agree immediately.

But the next second, he saw the smile on Yang Yuanshan's face, and his heart was instantly startled.

I muttered to myself: If my people join your group, isn't that like a sheep walking into a tiger's mouth?
Later you can find any excuse and let me swallow it, and I won’t even have a place to cry!
He immediately shook his head like a rattle:
"No need, no need, my artillery can train itself!"

Then he said:
"I have recruited soldiers and will send them to your base."

Then run away!

It seemed as if he was afraid that if he ran too slowly, Yang Yuanshan would take away all the people in his new group.
