Anti-Japanese War: I have unlimited assistance

Chapter 185: As soon as you lift your butt, I know what you are going to do.

"As soon as you lift your butt, I know what you are going to do."

"Are you calling to congratulate me on my fortune?"

"Tell me, how much benefit did you get from Boss Lin this time?"

A few days ago, the brigade commander personally led the main force to Zhengtai Road to meet Li Yunlong.

Knowing that the old devil Takagi Yoshito had ordered all weapons, ammunition and food to be blown up, the New 1st Regiment and the Independent Regiment did not capture much spoils when they captured Yangquan.

But it doesn’t matter. Li Yunlong’s cooperative business with Boss Lin is the big one, the business that can really make Li Yunlong rich.

Based on the previous business cooperation experience between Li Yunlong and Boss Lin, today should be the day when Li Yunlong receives the goods.

"Hey hey hey..."

"You understand me, Commander."

Li Yunlong chuckled in his characteristic voice:
"Not much..."

He then reported the profit he made from this business deal with Boss Lin.

However, he did not report all of it. He left some weapons and ammunition for himself, and handed over all the Type 38 rifles, bullets and production lines that the New 1st Regiment did not need.

"hiss!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the brigade commander gasped in surprise over the phone, indicating that he was in shock.

Li Yunlong knew his brigade commander very well. He had once carried Chiang Kai-shek on his back. What big scene had he not seen?
However, when he heard about the weapons, ammunition and production lines he had handed over this time, he instantly lost his composure and his tone and pitch suddenly became higher.

"Li Yunlong!"

"Are you sure it's enough weapons and equipment for two regiments, 190 million rounds of ammunition, a grenade launcher production line, and a 60mm mortar production line!?"

The main force's ambush in Hexi Village in the Zhuozhang River Valley in southeastern Shanxi Province wiped out more than 2300 Japanese soldiers.

A large amount of combat supplies was captured, but not many weapons were captured, only a few hundred long and short guns. Many of these weapons were blown up or damaged by the Japanese in the battle.

Li Yunlong's gains in the two battles in eastern Shanxi were that he first seized a batch of military equipment and raw materials, including weapons and ammunition, as well as grenade launcher and mortar production lines, which directly made the entire Eighth Route Army a fortune.

The gains in the Hexi Village battle were nothing compared to those in Lubei Village and Yangquan.

This kid Li Yunlong is really capable.

Li Yunlong said, "There is no joking in the army."

The brigade commander said hurriedly, "Have you received the goods today? I'll bring the brigade transport team to pick them up right away!"

Weapons and equipment for two regiments, 190 million rounds of ammunition, and equipment for two artillery production lines.

Not only the brigade commander, but even the heads of the headquarters had to treat it as the top priority of the Eighth Route Army after they knew about it.

"No no."

Li Yunlong said quickly:
"There is no delivery today. The delivery will be received in two days. When the delivery is received, I will notify the brigade commander to come and receive the goods."

The weapons and equipment received today were mainly those used to destroy the 39th Brigade Headquarters and kill the Japanese brigade commander.

Li Yunlong planned to keep this batch of weapons and equipment for himself to enhance the firepower of the new regiment. Whether it was the Mauser rifle, the PPSh submachine gun, or the 20mm machine gun, they were all good stuff. However, Li Yunlong planned to hand over half of the 20mm machine gun to enhance the anti-aircraft firepower of the brother units.

In the last battle of Hexi Village, due to insufficient anti-aircraft firepower, the main regiments suffered heavy casualties under the bombing of Japanese planes.

The brigade commander agreed: "Okay, I'll wait for you to receive the goods and then bring the transport team over."

The weapons and equipment of two regiments, that is, the weapons and equipment of a brigade, as well as a large number of bullets and two complete artillery production lines.

Even if Li Yunlong secretly hid some weapons and equipment, the brigade commander and the headquarters leaders would not say much.

Who allowed Li Yunlong to obtain weapons, equipment and production lines?
It is no exaggeration to say that Boss Lin is Li Yunlong's God of Wealth, and Li Yunlong is the God of Wealth of the Eighth Route Army.

With Li Yunlong's qualifications, as long as he doesn't go too far and make the mistake of treason, he will at most be punished slightly for making a mistake.

After a pause, the brigade commander smiled again and said, "You took the initiative to call and congratulate me on my fortune. Do you have any conditions to propose?"

As I said, as soon as Li Yunlong raised his butt, the brigade commander knew what he was going to do.

Li Yunlong didn't beat around the bush and got straight to the point: "It's not really a condition, but I do have a few small requests. I hope the brigade commander can agree to them."

The brigade commander asked seriously, "What's your request? Tell me."

Li Yunlong said, "Brigade Commander, my first request is that I lead the new regiment to develop a base in the area east of Meng County and north of Shouyang County."

"Oh?" the brigade commander asked in surprise. "That area is relatively close to the Zhengtai Railway and Taiyuan, and there are also Eighth Route Army guerrillas and a small number of troops from the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region operating there. It's very easy for the Japanese to encircle and suppress us. Besides, the population is not large, and without the support of the main force, I'm worried that if you lead the New 1st Regiment there, it won't be easy to gain a foothold... What made you decide to develop a base there?"

At present, the main force of the 129th Division is in southeastern Shanxi. Southeastern Shanxi is backed by the Taihang and Taiyue Mountains and has a good mass base. The Japanese have insufficient control over southeastern Shanxi, which is very suitable for the Eighth Route Army's guerrilla warfare and is waiting for an opportunity to grow and develop.

Of course, Li Yunlong's first request needs to be reported to the division headquarters and headquarters by the brigade commander, and the decision can only be made after a meeting between the division commander and the headquarters leaders.

After all, the new regiment is of great importance now. Under the leadership of Li Yunlong, it can obtain a large amount of weapons and ammunition, which are urgently needed by the Eighth Route Army.

If Li Yunlong had not been promoted, he would have become the brigade commander of the newly formed brigade of the Eighth Route Army.

"Commander, this is it..."

Li Yunlong immediately reported the situation. Boss Lin provided intelligence and transportation services, and Li Yunlong's troops were responsible for robbing the Japanese military trains transporting military equipment and raw materials.

After Li Yunlong led the New 1st Regiment to complete the robbery, Boss Lin's transport plane transported the items to southeastern Shanxi.

"Is there such a good thing?" After hearing this, the brigade commander's breathing became rapid again.

The Taiyuan Arsenal, the apple of Yan Laoxi's eye, is one of the three major arsenals in the Republic of China. In addition to tanks and airplanes, it can also produce cannons and machine guns.

If we could really rob the Eighth Route Army of all the military equipment and raw materials from the Taiyuan Arsenal, we would be rich!

After a pause, the brigade commander said in a puzzled tone on the phone: "That's not right..."

"Even the takeoff and landing of transport aircraft requires the cooperation of airports, runways and ground crews."

"Even if we succeed in looting the equipment and raw materials, the Japanese troops and aircraft can quickly provide support."

"Without an airport, runway, and ground crew, how can Mr. Lin transport equipment and raw materials to southeastern Shanxi?"

Li Yunlong explained, "It's a helicopter. The kind that can take off and land on the spot. It doesn't require an airport, a runway, or ground crew. Boss Lin sent a helicopter to drop off some of the large equipment for the smokeless powder production line. I personally received it."

The brigade commander, division commander and headquarters leaders all knew about this, but they had never seen it and didn't know what a helicopter was. They thought it was an airdrop.

That time, Li Yunlong was also surprised to see the helicopter delivering goods. He exclaimed that Boss Lin was awesome and this plane was much better than the Japanese ones!

After a pause, Li Yunlong continued, "In addition, every time we successfully rob a Japanese military train carrying equipment and raw materials, Boss Lin will provide us with a complete weapons and ammunition production line, including weapons, ammunition, and technical information. If our engineers have any questions, he can also send engineers to personally guide them."

By developing a base in that area, we could not only rob the Japanese army trains transporting equipment and raw materials, but also the Japanese army trains transporting combat supplies, turning the situation upside down.

The brigade commander said, "I will report this to the division headquarters. The division headquarters and headquarters should hold a meeting to decide. You will also be called to the headquarters to attend the meeting."

"What is your second request?"

Li Yunlong said, "Report to the brigade commander, my second request is to organize a cavalry battalion."

"Cavalry battalion?" the brigade commander asked in surprise. "I, the brigade commander, haven't even managed a cavalry battalion yet, and you, a regimental commander, want one? Tell me the truth, how many horses do you have?"

Li Yunlong said hurriedly, "Brigade Commander, with your reputation, you can hardly afford a cavalry division. I only have enough horses and equipment for a cavalry battalion."

"A cavalry battalion's worth of equipment! How come I didn't know about this?" the brigade commander asked. "Leave the horses and equipment for a cavalry company for yourself, and bring the rest to brigade headquarters."

At that time, the brigade commander led the main force to support the independent regiment and the new regiment. After receiving the equipment and raw materials, he protected the equipment and raw materials and returned to southeastern Shanxi.

Li Yunlong and Kong Jie deliberately concealed the matter and placed the captured horse equipment at the rear of the team, so the brigade commander did not know about it.

"Robbery, Brigadier? No, no, absolutely not."

Now that Li Yunlong has handed over so many weapons and equipment, he has to speak more firmly in front of the brigade commander, but his firmness is limited.

"No?" the brigade commander laughed. "Then let's talk about discipline. Comrade Li Yunlong, please recite the Three Major Disciplines and Eight Points of Attention."

Li Yunlong earned weapons and ammunition from Boss Lin. Since Li Yunlong voluntarily handed over a batch of them, it was indeed difficult for the brigade commander to rob them.

However, this batch of military horses must have been captured, and it was a discipline to return the captured goods to the public, so Li Yunlong had no choice but to agree.

"Brigade Commander, I understand the discipline of returning captured property to the public." Li Yunlong said hurriedly, "Brigade Commander, why did you insist on robbing me? Kong Jie also has a cavalry battalion of horses and equipment..."

"Okay, I see."

After saying that, the brigade commander hung up the phone at the speed of light.

Li Yunlong looked at the phone receiver in confusion: "I haven't mentioned any conditions yet!"

……

Dayizhuang.

Independent regiment.

Regiment Headquarters.

Kong Jie sat cross-legged on the kang, smoking his pipe with a big smile on his face.

The Independent Regiment also made a fortune in the battles of Zhengtai Road and Yangquan.

The independent regiment now numbered over 100 men, each armed with a rifle, dozens of light and heavy machine guns, dozens of submachine guns, over 30 automatic fire points, and over 300 rounds of ammunition. In addition, they had nearly military horses, and he planned to grit his teeth and set up a cavalry battalion.

It can be said that the army is strong and powerful.

In the future, you should cooperate more with Lao Li, as he has plenty of weapons and ammunition.

The brigade commander cannot be told about the military horses for the time being.

We must quickly recruit soldiers and set up a cavalry battalion. By then, the matter will be settled and it will be difficult for the brigade commander to rob us.

"Ding Ding Ding-"

The phone on the table rang. Kong Jie put the receiver to his ear and said, "Hello, this is the Independent Regiment."

"Kong Jie!"

The voice of the brigade commander came from the phone, and Kong Jie was shocked: "Congratulations on your wealth!"

Kong Jie pretended to be stunned: "Brigade Commander, I haven't made a fortune yet?"

The brigade commander laughed and said, "How could this be hidden from my eyes? You attacked the Zhengtai Railway, seized the horses and equipment of an entire battalion, kept the horses and equipment of a cavalry platoon for yourself, and immediately sent the rest to the brigade headquarters."

Kong Jie: “…Yes!”
