Anti-Japanese War: I have unlimited assistance

Chapter 351 Gain both fame and fortune!

Meng County.

The new regiment headquarters.

Li Yunlong and Xing Zhiguo were waiting at the regiment headquarters for Boss Lin to deliver the goods.

Five days have passed since the ground-to-air war.

In the two days that followed the ground-to-air battle, the Japanese planes launched more than 200 sorties, carrying out indiscriminate bombing on the New st Regiment military, roads, and villages around the county town.

The Japanese bombed the area around the county town, and the air defense forces of the New 1st Regiment were unable to do anything about the Japanese air force.

However, every village has air-raid shelters, not to mention the barracks of the New 1st Regiment, which are all reinforced with concrete and can withstand the continuous bombardment of heavy aerial bombs.

Except for the city walls, the county town was almost razed to the ground, and there was hardly a complete house to be seen around the county town.

The Jinzhong Military Region suffered minimal losses in personnel and equipment.

But Li Yunlong felt that he had made no loss, and even made a profit, because today was the day when Boss Lin would settle his wages.

Li Yunlong has already calculated that this business will be a huge profit.

"Report to the regiment commander, a commendation telegram has just been sent from headquarters." The communications staff officer walked in with a telegram in his hand and reported to Li Yunlong.

"Is it the commendation telegram for shooting down 12 Japanese planes a few days ago?" Li Yunlong asked without raising his head.

"It's your commendation telegram." The communications staff handed the telegram to Li Yunlong with admiration on his face, then turned and left.

"My commendation telegram?" Li Yunlong took the telegram and started reading it. Xing Zhiguo also came over to take a look.

Li Yunlong didn't care. To him, meritorious service and punishment were just commonplace.

The telegram only read: After our army crossed the Yellow River to the east, Comrade Li Yunlong led his troops to repeatedly achieve military exploits, making the enemy pay a heavy price in combat. His battlefield achievements were outstanding, and he made major and key contributions to the development of the entire army. His courageous fighting spirit was admired by the entire army. He played a great role in improving the combat morale of the troops and the national anti-Japanese war. Comrade Li Yunlong is now awarded the honorary title of Special Combat Hero, and the whole party and army have been notified.

"Special Combat Hero!"

After reading the commendation telegram, Xing Zhiguo's eyes widened instantly.

"Captain, congratulations."

Xing Zhiguo was very excited, even happier than when he was awarded the Special Combat Hero title.

As an old Red Army soldier, Xing Zhiguo is well aware of the value of the words "Special Combat Hero".

There is a significant difference between a special combat hero and a special merit.

A combat hero refers to a person who has made significant contributions in combat and is awarded the honorary title of a person with outstanding merit and special contributions.

Special merit is a reward for individuals who have made special contributions in combat, usually soldiers who played an important role in key battles and achieved remarkable results.

Combat hero refers to an honorary title, while medals such as special merit and first-class merit are meritorious services and commendations.

Generally speaking, the honorary title of combat hero is higher than special merit and first-class merit.

Li Yunlong’s honor as a special combat hero is of the utmost value!
Xing Zhiguo was so excited that he was shaking.

"It's just a special combat hero, isn't it? Look how happy you are! The commander-in-chief is really something. He only sends out telegrams of commendation, but doesn't do anything concrete. It's better not to let me hand over this batch of weapons and equipment. If that doesn't work, you can at least allocate some officers and technical soldiers."

Although he said so, Xing Zhiguo found that the corners of Li Yunlong's mouth were raised high, and it was obvious that Li Yunlong was also very happy at this time.

Since the founding of the army after the August 1927st Nanchang Uprising in , only a few people have been awarded the honorary title of Special Combat Hero.

Some people even received the honorary title of special combat hero only after their death, and there are even fewer special combat heroes who are still alive.

After a pause, Li Yunlong continued, "As the saying goes, people are afraid of fame just as pigs are afraid of being fat. It would be great if this honorary title could be replaced with a heavy artillery regiment."

"Captain, if you don't want it," Xing Zhiguo said unhappily, "just give this honorary title to me."

Li Yunlong raised his lips and said, "Okay! Talk to the head of the headquarters and tell them that we won't be handing over the cannon this time. I'll give you this honorary title."

Xing Zhiguo laughed and said, "How could I possibly have that ability? Besides, my military achievements are nowhere near that of a special combat hero!"

At this moment, guard Zhang Hu walked in quickly: "Report to the regiment commander, Deputy Commander Xing, Advisor Lin has arrived."

Upon hearing that the God of Wealth had arrived, Li Yunlong placed the telegram on the table, and then he and Xing Zhiguo quickly stood up and went to greet him.

When they walked to the door, they saw Lin Feng, wearing a black coat, standing at the entrance of the regiment.

Lin Feng has a special pass issued by Li Yunlong. With this pass, Boss Lin can move freely in the defense area of ​​the New 1st Regiment.

When the two sides met, they exchanged pleasantries and wished each other good fortune. Then Li Yunlong invited Lin Feng into the inner room of the regiment headquarters.

Lin Feng went straight to the point: "I came here this time to confirm the business price. After the confirmation, the delivery will start tomorrow." There were many inconveniences in the telegram, and Lin Feng's military base was relatively close to the county town, so Lin Feng came directly.

"No problem, Brother Lin. We are brothers and we have to settle accounts clearly. Whatever is due is what is due."

Li Yunlong nodded. Brother Lin came in person in such a cold day, which touched Li Yunlong deeply.

林峰便说道：“这次你们干掉1个少将，1个中将，这两个鬼子的身份都比较特殊，干掉少将的价码是9门152榴弹炮或18门105榴弹炮或18门120迫击炮，干掉中将的价码是18门152榴弹炮或36门105榴弹炮或36门120迫击炮。”

Li Yunlong nodded, having no objection to this point. It was the same price agreed upon by both parties. "Brother Lin, I don't need to pay for killing the major general. Please send it to northwest Shanxi when the time comes. I plan to receive this batch of heavy weapons in northwest Shanxi."

"No problem." Lin Feng nodded and asked, "Which gun do you want?"

李云龙说道：“9门105榴弹炮和9门120迫击炮，干掉中将的价码我得上交一半，麻烦林老弟将9门152榴弹炮送到晋东南，我这边要9门152榴弹炮，和另外9门105榴弹炮和9门120迫击炮，一起送到晋西北。”

The price for killing the major general was half of the 105mm howitzer and half of the 120mm mortar, and all of them belonged to Li Yunlong.

The price for killing the lieutenant general was to get all the 152 howitzers, a total of 18, half each for Li Yunlong and the headquarters, and everyone would get rich.

"Nine guns each, not even enough for an artillery battalion." Lin Feng frowned. "How about this? I'll give you four 9mm howitzers, four 4mm mortars, and eight 105mm howitzers. This is a reward for this business deal and the two clear-text telegrams, which caused a psychological attack on the Japanese army."

Lin Feng has a bit of obsessive-compulsive disorder. When he saw that Li Yunlong asked for 9 cannons, he always felt uncomfortable.

现在李云龙重新获得12门105榴弹炮、12门120迫击炮，李云龙和总部各12门152榴弹炮，林峰顿时感觉舒服了。

"Haha..." Li Yunlong was overjoyed when he heard that. "Thank you so much, Brother Lin!"

His laughter with its unique voice could be heard from far away.

After killing Major General Hirata and Lieutenant General Yamawaki, Li Yunlong asked Xiao Zhang to send a clear text telegram, claiming responsibility for the two decapitation operations and thanking the Eighth Route Army transport team leader Yoshio Shinozuka for providing the information.

As expected, it launched another wave of mental attacks on the Japanese.

"Thank you, Consultant Lin!"

Xing Zhiguo also smiled and expressed his gratitude repeatedly. With two telegrams and a reward from Boss Lin, he received 16 heavy artillery pieces.

Boss Lin is so generous!

Lin Feng smiled slightly: "You're welcome. The more devils you kill, and the higher the positions of the devils you kill, the more benefits you will receive, and the bigger the caliber will be."

"And starting from this deal, each heavy artillery battalion can be equipped with 200 Jiefang trucks."

"For example, in this deal, you can get four heavy artillery battalions. In addition to the equipment for the four heavy artillery battalions, you can also get 4 large trucks."

The National Army’s heavy artillery regiment, such as the 10th Artillery Regiment, is a mechanized heavy artillery regiment.

The entire regiment has a total of more than 480 people and owns vehicles of various types, including trucks, observation vehicles, ammunition trucks, jeeps, three-wheeled motorcycles, two-wheeled motorcycles, etc.

Of course, this is also the only mechanized artillery regiment of the National Army.

Li Yunlong and Xing Zhiguo's eyes suddenly lit up at the same time, and they expressed their gratitude repeatedly.

Whether the heavy artillery units can exert their combat effectiveness, training, mobility and logistics are all top priorities. With the training of experienced artillery instructors arranged by Boss Lin, coupled with rapid mobility and sufficient logistics, these heavy artillery units will be the nightmare of the Japanese in the future!

Cannons are the gods of war. Most of the casualties in World War II were caused by cannons, not to mention that they were heavy cannons.

The only thing we need to pay attention to is air defense. If the Japanese find out, they will send air force to bomb these heavy artillery units at all costs.

Li Yunlong suggested whether the caliber of the anti-aircraft gun could be upgraded. If not, then he could get some business from the 20mm machine gun.

Lin Feng nodded: "No problem, if there is business for large-caliber anti-aircraft guns, I will inform you in advance."

Li Yunlong smiled and thanked him repeatedly: "Thank you very much, Brother Lin."

Lin Feng continued, "This time you shot down 14 Japanese planes, including 5 fighters and 9 bombers, and killed 23 pilots. You will be rewarded with 42 75mm Bofors mountain guns."

Xing Zhiguo was stunned and asked, "Isn't it 12?"

Li Yunlong winked at Xing Zhiguo frantically, as if to say, "How come you don't have any sense?" Boss Lin said whatever he wanted.

Lin Feng said: "12 were shot down on the spot, and the other 1 fighter and 1 bomber crashed while returning to the airport after being injured. They are also counted on you."

Li Yunlong thought he could get a few mountain cannons for free, but after hearing this, a look of sudden realization appeared on his face and he laughed heartily: "I was told, Brother Lin's intelligence system is so powerful, there's no way his statistics are wrong. I'll hand over half of these 42 mountain cannons, and the remaining 21 mountain cannons will be delivered to you in northwest Shanxi. I'll send you the address when the time comes."

"Brother Yunlong, I will give you another 6 mountain cannons, so that you and the headquarters will each have two mountain artillery battalions." Lin Feng's mouth twitched. Why is it not an integer?
He had no choice but to make up for Li Yunlong, this damn obsessive-compulsive disorder.

"Haha, thank you very much, Brother Lin!"

Li Yunlong was all smiles. With all the weapons and ammunition piled up in the sky, he really made a fortune this time.
