Anti-Japanese War: I have unlimited assistance

Chapter 364: There is always something new to come up with!
Li Yunlong asked hurriedly, "What local specialties are you talking about? Take them out and see them."

"hey-hey."

Zhao Gang smiled and said:

"Keep it secret for now. When Brother Lin comes, you'll know."

Li Yunlong said, "That's not a gold ingot. It can help you have children if you keep it. Can I steal Brother Lin's local specialties?"

Zhao Gang smiled slightly and said, "Even if you, Li Yunlong, had ten times the courage, you wouldn't dare to snatch this local specialty."

Li Yunlong immediately went to the telegraph room and ordered the telegraph operator on duty to send a telegram to Boss Lin, asking him to come to the regiment headquarters for breakfast.

Zhao Gang was curious about where the guard Zhang Hu had gone, and Li Yunlong replied that Zhang Hu was the acting company commander of the Zhanhu Company.

"Zhanhu Company?" Zhao Gang was surprised. It was the first time he heard of this kind of troops.

"hey-hey…"

Li Yunlong chuckled:
"It's an army that specializes in deception, but it's not deceiving its own people, it's deceiving the enemy."

Zhao Gang became more and more surprised. He really wanted to know how this army fooled the enemy.

After Li Yunlong's explanation, Zhao Gang suddenly understood and sighed that Boss Lin had so many tricks.

"Now Brother Lin is the military advisor of our new regiment, which has enhanced our business cooperation in all aspects."

"correct."

"How about the group of intellectuals you brought back this time?"

Li Yunlong looked at Zhao Gang and asked.

"They were all intellectuals who had come from all over the country and had undergone some preliminary military training. Some of them had studied at the Anti-Japanese Military and Political University. In addition, there were four battalion-level cadres and 4 company-level cadres who had just graduated from the Anti-Japanese Military and Political University."

Zhao Gang said.

"Hahaha, Lao Zhao, this is really a double blessing."

Commander Li was overjoyed, as he was in need of intellectuals and military cadres.

With this group of talents, the shortage of technical arms and military cadres in the army will be alleviated, and the training speed of new recruits can be greatly accelerated.

Zhao Gang also had a smile on his face.

These more than 300 intellectuals are all patriotic young people who have devoted themselves to the revolution with great enthusiasm. Although they have just joined the army, they will definitely become the nightmare of the Japanese on the battlefield in the future.

These intellectuals will be arranged to train new recruits in tanks and heavy artillery and become technical soldiers.

Intellectuals with higher academic qualifications, after completing recruit training, gaining practical experience on the battlefield and surviving, will be arranged to study in the officer class of the camp school and become reserve officers.

The other sixteen officers who were selected to study at the Anti-Japanese Military and Political University must have a will as firm as steel and an enterprising spirit, and can directly take on important tasks.

They are all talents.

Zhao Gang: "What's the other good news?"

Li Yunlong smiled slightly: "There is another good news, of course, it is the return of you, Political Commissar Zhao."

"Hahaha."

Zhao Gang smiled and said:
"Your mouth is like honey, and your words are getting better and better."

"Look at what you're saying." Li Yunlong said unhappily, "What? Did I say something rude before?"

This kid will shine brightly if he is given some sunshine, and he will open a dyeing factory if he is given some color.

However, Zhao Gang did not intend to argue with Li Yunlong. He said seriously, "This is only the first batch of intellectuals and officers. There will be more intellectuals and battalion and company-level officers sent here in the future."

During the more than one year of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Li Yunlong handed over a large number of weapons and ammunition, including but not limited to machine guns, mortars, heavy artillery and tanks.

Even the Eighth Route Army Arsenal in southeastern Shanxi developed to a considerable scale with Li Yunlong's support.

The higher-ups also understood that if Li Yunlong's troops became stronger, he would be able to win bigger victories, hand over more goodies, and his troops would become stronger.

"Why are the higher-ups suddenly so supportive of us?" Captain Li was both surprised and confused.

After all, he had been doing business with Boss Lin for over a year, and the lack of intellectuals and military officers had always existed. Zhao Gang said, "The main reason is you."

Li Yunlong was even more surprised: "Me?"

"That's right, it's you!"

Zhao Gang nodded:

"Old Li, your fame is truly immense throughout the country. It has attracted intellectuals from all over the country to join our team in Yan'an. Over a thousand intellectuals have already arrived in Yan'an for you, and many more are on their way."

"I never expected that." Li Yunlong took a long time to digest the news, and said with emotion, "I am a peasant from the mountains of Hubei, Henan and Anhui, and now I have such a great reputation in the country."

Zhao Gang laughed and said, "You said being famous is not a good thing? Isn't this the benefit of being famous?"

"Then Old Li will add fuel to the fire."

Li Yunlong narrowed his eyes, his eyes gleaming with the shrewdness of a businessman:

"Send a clear-coded telegram to intellectuals nationwide, calling on them to come to Yan'an, to our northwest Shanxi. What do you think, Old Zhao?"

Naturally, the more intellectuals there are, the better for the current Eighth Route Army and the New First Regiment.

Knowing that he has great appeal among intellectuals, Li Yunlong will of course make use of it.

"Old Li, this is a great idea!"

Zhao Gang's eyes lit up, and after a brief thought, some ideas immediately came to his mind:

"Leave this plaintext telegram to me."

The smile on Zhao Gang's face became more and more intense. He thought to himself that this kid Li Yunlong really hasn't changed at all. He can always come up with new tricks for you.

"Okay, then you'll take charge."

Li Yunlong nodded. He still admired Zhao Gang's writing style. He thought it was easy for him to surpass him by several blocks.

After a pause, Li Yunlong continued, "By the way, this time our three regiments recaptured eight county towns along the Beitongpu Road and three more in northwest Shanxi, which is quite a bit of spoils."

Zhao Gang's expression changed, and he asked, "How much was seized?"

Li Yunlong said, "More than 80 silver dollars, more than 350 million Japanese yen, more than 360 gold bars of various sizes, and some gold and silver jewelry and silver..."

Li Yunlong quickly told Zhao Gang about the seized money, food and ammunition.

Ding Wei and Kong Jie also obediently handed over the spoils from the recapture of three county towns in northwestern Shanxi. As for whether they kept any of it, Li Yunlong had no idea.

"What a bounty!"

Zhao Gang's eyes lit up first, then he cursed:

"These damned Japs and traitors seem to have been plundering the people's blood and sweat. This batch of property is quite a large sum. What are you going to do?"

Li Yunlong said, "I plan to hand this money over to Yan'an. Yan'an is sending us intellectuals and officers, so we should also hand this money over to them as funds for recruiting intellectuals and training officers."

Due to the Japanese blockade of the base, we couldn't buy anything good even if we had money.

The two most important things - food and weapons and ammunition - can be obtained by killing the Japanese. This money is of little use to Li Yunlong.

The Southeast Shanxi headquarters did not require Li Yunlong to hand over any money, only weapons, ammunition and production lines.

Li Yunlong felt that it was not a loss to exchange money for intellectuals and officers!

"Not bad!"

Zhao Gang looked at Li Yunlong and nodded with satisfaction:
"You are now quite conscious and you even knew to voluntarily hand over the spoils."

In terms of social skills, Li Yunlong did a good job.

"Bullshit!"

Li Yunlong laughed and scolded: "Don't try to slander me, kid. When did Old Li become less ideologically conscious?"
