Anti-Japanese War: I have unlimited assistance

Chapter 19 How rich can you get?

"Commander, I'm not lying to you. Our New 1st Regiment is so poor that we're practically begging for food."

"How many weapons and equipment were recovered?"

"Not much."

"How much is not much?"

"It's not much. Just 200 submachine guns, 200 light machine guns, and four 4mm infantry guns. As for ammunition, there are 70 rounds of bullets each for submachine guns and light machine guns, 20 rounds of artillery shells, and 2000 grenades. Even with this small amount of weapons and ammunition, some were damaged in the battle, and half of them are still not in our hands."

"Where are the spoils from defeating the Sakata Regiment?"

"I haven't had time to count them yet, but I roughly estimated that there should be 20 to 10 rifles, both long and short, and more than light and heavy machine guns, and nearly rounds of ammunition."

"Good fellow, your entire regiment is richer than my entire brigade. Li Yunlong, how much weapons and ammunition do you plan to hand over?"

It’s coming, it’s coming. Li Yunlong’s anus suddenly tightened.

How much weapons and ammunition can be saved depends on this tremor.

Since Deputy Regiment Commander Zhong was not careful with his words and told everything to the brigade commander, Li Yunlong did not hide anything.

"Brigade Commander, what are you doing? Is this robbery?"

Li Yunlong pretended to be aggrieved and said:

"Our New 1st Regiment is so poor, and you still come to rob us. I can't live like this anymore!"

"What do you mean by robbery? This is the execution discipline of our Eighth Route Army. Everything captured on the battlefield must be attributed to us." The brigade commander was also a little embarrassed. After all, when Li Yunlong asked him for equipment, he did not give Li Yunlong a single gun or bullet.

It’s not that the brigade commander didn’t want to give Li Yunlong weapons and equipment, it’s just that he was so poor that he had no other choice.

All the equipment and ammunition were given to the main regiment, so how could there be any extra weapons and ammunition for Li Yunlong?
However, Li Yunlong has made a small fortune now and does not need so many weapons and ammunition, so the brigade commander asked Li Yunlong to hand over some.

However, Li Yunlong did not violate discipline this time, so the brigade commander had no reason to rob Li Yunlong.

Not only did Li Yunlong not violate discipline, but he also made a great contribution, and the headquarters wanted to commend him.

"Yes, Commander, I will enforce discipline!"

Li Yunlong said loudly:
"I'll immediately order the captured Japanese equipment to be sent to the brigade headquarters. As for those submachine guns, Czech light machine guns, and infantry artillery, they were funded by a friend of mine in his personal name, so they don't count as captured, hehe..."

The brigade commander asked in a puzzled tone, "Your friend?"

Although Deputy Regiment Commander Zhong reported the matter of Mr. Lin, the brigade commander was still confused.

Who is this Lin Feng?
Immediately, Li Yunlong reported the matter about Lin Feng again.

The brigade commander said, "Okay, I understand. Since they've found you and are only contacting you, it means they value you. Our policy is to unite all forces that can be united. From what you've reported, it seems they're quite wealthy and have good intentions towards our Eighth Route Army. You can continue to contact and cooperate with them, but you must maintain confidentiality and absolutely no information about them can be leaked."

Li Yunlong: "Yes, Brigade Commander!"

Brigade Commander: "By the way, once the other party pays the balance, you will immediately hand over half of the weapons and ammunition you received from Boss Lin to headquarters, no... Brigade Headquarters."

The brigade commander almost said something wrong. If this batch of weapons and ammunition were handed over to the headquarters, would he still have a share?

"Commander, are you robbing us?" Li Yunlong said hurriedly. "No, no, absolutely not. Our New 1st Regiment only has this little wealth. If you rob us, we'll be penniless again."

"Really?" the brigade commander's voice rose. "Then I'll have no choice but to come to your New 1st Regiment myself."

Li Yunlong's anus tightened, and he could feel the pressure from the brigade commander even when he was making the call.

What if the brigade commander comes in person?

Although the brigade commander was the person Li Yunlong respected most in his life, he was also the person he feared the most.

"Okay, okay!" Li Yunlong said hurriedly, "Isn't it just half of the weapons and ammunition for cooperation? Can't I just hand it over?"

Li Yunlong was actually quite satisfied with the result. "It's just these little things, and you're still so stingy."

The brigade commander laughed and said:

"I don't want the Japanese equipment I captured this time! Send your regiment's Hanyang-made and old weapons to the brigade headquarters."

"Besides, I won't take your weapons and equipment for nothing. After this battle, I'll transfer dozens of key personnel from other regiments to you."

"You have a wealthy partner, kid. If you just cling to him, you won't have to worry about weapons and ammunition in the future."

After hearing this, Li Yunlong thought so too.

The next second, Li Yunlong smiled and thanked him repeatedly: "Thank you, Brigade Commander, thank you, Brigade Commander, thank you, Brigade Commander."

The brigade commander said, "By the way, you should report the battle to the brigade headquarters as soon as possible. The commander of the headquarters wants to commend you and the New 1st Regiment."

Li Yunlong: "Yes, Brigade Commander!"

……

"This Li Yunlong, even though he was asked to hand over only a few small things, he was still so stingy."

Brigade Headquarters, after hanging up the phone, the brigade commander smiled slightly.

The perceptive brigade commander felt that the New 1st Regiment might have to fight a war of abundance in the future.

According to Li Yunlong's report, Sakata Nobutsu's head was just a stepping stone, and the other party would cooperate with Li Yunlong for a long time in the future.

But the brigade commander didn't think too much about it.

How much richer can you get?

Are there also planes, tanks and heavy artillery?

"That's understandable. After all, Li Yunlong is afraid of being poor." Deputy Brigade Commander Chen said happily.

The brigade commander said happily, "But having said that, Li Yunlong is really a genius in fighting. In this battle, he actually killed Sakata and defeated Sakata's regiment."

Although the Sakata Regiment was defeated by the cooperation of the New 1st Regiment and the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army.

But if Li Yunlong had not done this, the 73rd Division of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army might have been defeated by the Sakata Regiment.

Deputy Brigade Commander Chen said in a rather literary manner, "Success and failure are all due to Xiao He. This guy is indeed quite good at fighting, but he is also a master at stirring up trouble. I'm afraid that if headquarters commends him, he will get carried away and stir up trouble again."

Deputy Brigade Commander Chen and Li Yunlong were part of the same group of people who participated in the Huangma Uprising.

Although the brigade commander had served as a division commander in the Red Fourth Front Army, it was not for long.

Therefore, Deputy Brigade Commander Chen's understanding of Li Yunlong is deeper than others.

After a pause, Deputy Brigade Commander Chen continued, "If Li Yunlong hadn't made a mistake during the Long March and was dismissed from his post, during the last reorganization, Li Yunlong could at least have become the commander of the main regiment."

"It seems that this kid Li Yunlong is a double-edged sword."

The brigade commander nodded:

"If used improperly, you might injure yourself, but if used well, it can not only terrify the enemy but also have extremely powerful lethality."

"If you want to make good use of Li Yunlong," Chief of Staff Zhou interrupted, "my suggestion is to choose a good partner for him. This kid needs someone to supervise him, otherwise he will definitely cause trouble for you."

"That's difficult!" Deputy Brigade Commander Chen shook his head. "This guy hasn't been able to get along with several political commissars."

The brigade commander waved his hand and said, "Deputy Regimental Commander Zhong is quite capable. Let's observe his performance in the New 1st Regiment first, and then we'll make a decision."
