Anti-Japanese War: I have unlimited assistance

Chapter 249 Hehe…I made a small fortune recently.

"Lao Kong, Lao Ding, let me introduce my new gun to you two."

"The specially designed bipod significantly improves shooting accuracy and stability. The gun's excellent design minimizes recoil, and its 10-round semi-automatic firing capability allows the shooter to lock onto a target by firing continuously."

"The gun is capable of precise strikes within a range of 2 kilometers and can be used to effectively attack military facilities such as light vehicles at long distances."

The next day at noon, Ding Wei and Kong Jie went to Xujia Village for a meeting.

Li Yunlong immediately introduced his large-caliber sniper rifle to Ding Wei and Kong Jie.

After seeing Li Yunlong's new gun and listening to Li Yunlong's introduction, Ding Wei and Kong Jie's eyes almost popped out.

"Is this your new gun?"

"Isn't this the one belonging to Staff Officer Zhao of your New First Regiment?"

Ding Wei and Kong Jie asked enviously, one after the other.

"Of course it's my new gun. I didn't want it at the time, but Boss Lin insisted on giving it to me. Who can I go to for justice?"

"You don't want such a good gun?" Kong Jie was eager to try it out. "Then I can take it back to the independent regiment."

"Then you might as well give it to me!" Ding Wei said hurriedly, "With your mediocre marksmanship, it's a complete waste to use such a good gun."

"Nonsense!" Kong Jie stared at Ding Wei. "How can your shooting skills be any better than mine?"

Ding Wei raised his eyebrows and said, "Why don't you go to Lao Li's training range and practice?"

Kong Jie said, "Let's practice, I'm not afraid of you. Let's practice some boxing and kicking skills. Whoever wins will get the gun!"

"Stop!" Li Yunlong snorted, "No one can take my gun today."

"cut!"

Ding Wei and Kong Jie both gave Li Yunlong a look of contempt.

This guy obviously likes it very much, but he likes to pretend to be disgusted.

We are all comrades from the same class, who doesn’t know each other?

"But..."

"You two can test fire 10 rounds each. We don't have many bullets, so let's use them sparingly."

Li Yunlong chuckled.

Looking at the envious eyes of Ding Wei and Kong Jie, and their fight for the large-caliber sniper rifle, Li Yunlong couldn't help but feel secretly happy.

Ding Wei and Kong Jie looked delighted. It would be great to try out a good gun that they couldn't get.

"Old Li," Ding Wei said seriously, "Let's talk business first. Didn't you tell us to come over for a meeting?"

Kong Jie also nodded. A good gun is important, but the development of the base should be put first.

Li Yunlong said: "No hurry, let's have lunch first."

Afterwards, Li Yunlong took Ding Wei and Kong Jie to the canteen of the New 1st Regiment for lunch.

The food in the New First Regiment was much better than that in the Independent Regiment and the New Third Regiment. Today at noon they had meat buns, white flour steamed buns, and vegetables. Ding Wei and Kong Jie were feasting on them.

While eating, Li Yunlong was thinking in his mind.

Although with the assistance and support of Boss Lin, the troops are much richer than before, and have more ammunition, food and wages than before.

but.

The largest caliber artillery of the Eighth Route Army at present is the 120mm mortar.

The Japanese's largest-caliber artillery is said to include 240mm heavy howitzers and cannons, which are extremely powerful.

Today, the gap between the Eighth Route Army's strength and that of the Japanese is still as huge as a chasm.

Apart from anything else, Li Yunlong has used up almost half of the artillery shells he earned.

If the ammunition is not replenished, after a few battles, all kinds of artillery will become scrap metal.

At present, all bases are expanding their troops. The Jinzhong Military Region and even the entire Eighth Route Army still need a large amount of food and weapons and ammunition.

The war of resistance has not yet been won, comrades still need to work hard.

but…

Compared to the hard days in the past, we are more motivated now.

Although there were revolutions before, such as the Huangma Uprising, the Ten-Year Civil War, the Long March, and crossing the Yellow River to fight the Japanese invaders...

However, the army suffered some defeats and went through a dark period. Many people saw no hope of the revolution's success and left the team, with some even defecting to the enemy.

Now with the support of Boss Lin, as long as we kill the Japanese troops, we can obtain a large amount of advanced weapons and ammunition, combat supplies and food.

In the future, there will even be business in tanks, airplanes and heavy artillery, which are much more advanced than the Japanese's weapons and ammunition!
When Li Yunlong thought of this, he became full of energy. He ate the steamed buns and white flour buns in big mouthfuls, and drank a bowl of spicy soup.

This kid looks like a starving ghost.

Logically speaking, this shouldn't happen. The food in the New 1st Regiment is very good, so why is there such a big problem?

After a contented burp, Li Yunlong said to Ding Wei and Kong Jie, "Old Ding, Old Kong, you guys eat first. I'm going to read for a while. When you finish eating and take a rest, just come to the regiment headquarters to find me."

Looking at the back of Captain Li striding away, Ding Wei and Kong Jie were stunned.

Eat so fast just to squeeze out a little time to read?
"Huzi, does your captain often read and study?"

Ding Wei looked at Zhang Hu, Li Yunlong's personal guard, who was squatting nearby and munching on a meat bun, and asked, "Isn't it?"

"It's been almost half a year, and the regimental commander has been taking time out every day to study. Not only does he study himself, he also requires all the soldiers in the regiment to study."

Zhang Hu muttered incoherently:
"I study and study day after day, but I don't know what there is to learn..."

Ding Wei and Kong Jie looked at each other in bewilderment. Is this still the Li Yunlong who always said "study, what the hell?"
Studying for half a year? Li Yunlong is almost an intellectual...

Ding Wei and Kong Jie quickly finished their lunch and then went to the regiment headquarters.

As soon as I lifted the door curtain and entered the inner room of the regiment headquarters, I saw Li Yunlong holding a book "Theory of Deep Campaign" and reading it with great interest.

Seeing Ding Wei and Kong Jie enter, Li Yunlong said, "Mankind's history is largely military, often filled with tragedy, cruelty, and grandeur. The various commands, plans, and reflections of military commanders in major historical campaigns strongly and concentratedly reflect the most powerful crystallization of human wisdom."

Glancing at the shocked expressions on Ding Wei and Kong Jie's faces, Li Yunlong gave himself a full score for his pretense.

Forced to be full.

Damn, what Lao Li said makes a lot of sense...

The two were frightened and stunned.

"Old Li, are these what you've been learning recently?"

Kong Jie looked at the pile of military theory books more than half a meter high next to Li Yunlong.

"Yes, you want to see it?"

Li Yunlong stared at the book in his hand without raising his eyelids. He put his fingers in his mouth to wet them a little and then turned to the next page.

"nonsense."

Ding Wei picked up a Militia Training Manual and flipped through it, his eyes filled with surprise. "These books are like military secrets. Who wouldn't want to read them?"

Kong Jie knew something about it. He had seen these books when the New 1st Regiment and Li Yunlong were planning an ambush on Lubei Village.

He didn't take it seriously at the time, but now Kong Jie regrets it very much. He has missed out on at least 100 million!

"You can borrow these books, but don't lose them. They are out-of-print military textbooks."

Li Yunlong put down the "Theory of Deep Battles" in his hand.

"Wait until our Jinzhong Military Region printing factory is established and have them make a batch of copies."

When we were in southeastern Shanxi, some of these books were photocopied and handed over to the headquarters.

I don’t know how the leaders at headquarters are doing in their studies?

Anyway, Li Yunlong himself gained a lot.

In the past, Li Yunlong relied on experience and sudden ideas to command battles, and he won more battles than he lost.

But after reading so many military theory books, it felt like the door to a new world had opened.

With his skills, he could easily command thousands of people to fight.

However, commanding tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people in battle is a bit of a stretch and the level is not high enough, let alone commanding a super-large battle with millions of people.

Li Yunlong continued, "Let's set up a military academy to train grassroots officers and cultural knowledge."

"Our new regiment has set up a night school to teach officers and soldiers cultural knowledge, military knowledge, tactical command and coordination, map knowledge, international current affairs, and military history and case studies."

"I plan to expand this night school into a military academy, so that it will be more convenient for your two regiments to send officers and soldiers here to study."

The New Third Regiment and the Independent Regiment are stationed far away, so it is obviously unrealistic to send people here to attend night school.

It would be better to set up a military academy directly and send progressive soldiers and grassroots officers here for training and study.

Kong Jie said: "This is a great idea!"

"Very good!" Ding Wei nodded, his eyes full of expectation. "There are too few educated soldiers and officers in our army. It would be best if we could do a full set, including infantry squads, artillery squads, bazooka squads, air defense squads, and other branches of the military."

"There's also a sniper squad," Kong Jie added. "Snipers played a significant role in the last breakout. We need to train more snipers."

Li Yunlong said, "The sniper squad has been set up. After a while, both of your regiments can send soldiers with good marksmanship to learn sniper techniques."

Ding Wei and Kong Jie looked delighted.

Li Yunlong continued, "I called you here this time mainly to discuss the expansion and defense of our base. The Japanese are planning to blockade us and will definitely not raid our base anytime soon. We must take this opportunity to expand our base by 1 people."

"How many?"

Kong Jie spit out the water in his mouth:
"Expand to 1 people, or expand to 2 people?"

Li Yunlong said: "We will expand the force by 1 people. Once the expansion is completed, the total strength of our Jinzhong Military Region will be close to 2 people."

"Old Li," Ding Wei asked anxiously, "Did you get food, weapons and ammunition?"

Without food, the soldiers and civilians of the Jinzhong Military Region are almost starving to death. Without weapons and ammunition, are the soldiers supposed to fight the enemy with only fire sticks?

"Hehe...I made a small fortune recently."

Li Yunlong chuckled and told Ding Wei and Kong Jie about how he led his troops to bombard Taiyuan Airport, killed two Japanese major generals, killed 21 pilots, destroyed more than 40 planes, and earned 18 120mm heavy artillery and other large quantities of weapons, ammunition and food.

Currently, only the top Japanese and Chinese military officials know about this matter, and it has not spread widely, so Ding Wei and Kong Jie have not received the news yet.

After hearing this, Ding Wei and Kong Jie widened their eyes.
