Anti-Japanese War: I have unlimited assistance

Chapter 79 Make a fortune silently!
The brigade commander took a bite of bacon and asked, "What are the two conditions?"

As for what Li Yunlong said about the New 50st Regiment leaving behind rounds of ammunition, the brigade commander agreed without thinking.

In the past, if the New 50st Regiment had rounds of ammunition, the brigade commander would never have agreed.

This basic regiment has more bullets than an entire division of the Eighth Route Army. You have so many bullets in your regiment, but your brother troops are still fighting the Japanese with bayonets. Aren't you, Li Yunlong, afraid of being shot?

However, Li Yunlong handed over 130 million rounds of ammunition, 15 60mm mortars, 7200 artillery shells, and 1 Type rifles.

This is an amount of ammunition that the entire division does not have. The Type 38 rifle is also a good thing for the Eighth Route Army at the moment!
In addition, the light and heavy machine guns and submachine guns of the New 1st Regiment are big consumers of ammunition.

Li Yunlong has to continue cooperating with Boss Lin to earn weapons and ammunition. It will not do if the equipment is poor and the ammunition is insufficient.

"As for the first condition, I plan to set up a special forces unit, so I would like to ask the brigade commander to transfer some top soldiers to me from the 771st and 772nd Regiments," said Li Yunlong.

The 771st and 772nd Regiments were both veterans of the Red Fourth Front Army, and were composed almost entirely of veterans. Removing some elite soldiers would not affect the unit's combat effectiveness. In fact, after this small amount of money was handed over, the 771st and 772nd Regiments became much richer, and their combat effectiveness was greatly enhanced.

"Special forces?" The brigade commander looked puzzled.

Although the brigade commander had attended the Whampoa Military Academy and his military theoretical knowledge and vision were not comparable to Li Yunlong's, he had never heard of this special forces.

Political Commissar Wang, Deputy Regiment Commander Chen and Chief of Staff Zhou also looked at each other in confusion. What was this kid Li Yunlong doing?
Li Yunlong explained, "To put it simply, a special forces unit is a very special force, or what we call a commando unit. Now that we're a little more affluent, I've thought of forming a small-scale commando unit, composed of cadres and soldiers with relatively high military qualities, equipped with the Eighth Route Army's most sophisticated weapons, so that they can achieve the greatest effect in the shortest possible time. For example, the 17 brave warriors of our Red Army who forced their way across the Dadu River can be called a special forces unit."

From the book Boss Lin gave him, Li Yunlong had already guessed that Boss Lin wanted him to build a particularly powerful army.

However, Li Yunlong only has a rough idea of ​​what special forces are, and has not had time to read about their training and combat.

He thought that after he had thoroughly understood the book and formed a special forces unit, he would hand the book over to the brigade or even the headquarters.

If the effect is good, it can be promoted throughout the Eighth Route Army in the future.

"Special forces, a particularly impressive force..." The brigade commander paused, his voice lost in thought. "That's a good idea, kid. Facts have proven that under varying terrain conditions or offensive and defensive situations, the strength demonstrated by different firepower compositions can vary greatly."

"I can agree to this condition."

"Yang Shao, a soldier from the fourth squad of the twelfth company of the third battalion of the 772nd regiment, was responsible for clearing one of them. During the ambush at Qigeng Village, this guy single-handedly stabbed seven Japanese soldiers with his bayonet, killing six and wounding one."

"Thank you very much, Brigade Commander. Thank you very much, Brigade Commander." Li Yunlong looked happy.

The Japanese were very good at bayoneting, and even though the 115th Division had fought hand-to-hand with them at Pingxingguan, they had not gained much advantage. Almost all the soldiers in the 115th Division were veterans and elite soldiers of the Red Army.

This guy defeated 1 Japanese soldiers by himself, which makes him a military king.

The brigade commander asked, "What's the other condition?"

"Brigade Commander," Li Yunlong put down his chopsticks and said seriously, "I want the right to act independently three times. As you know, I have a partner now. Sometimes they send a telegram and our regiment may have to set off immediately. There is no time to ask for instructions. So I want the right to act independently three times. Not too many, just three times will be enough."

"No." The brigade commander immediately rejected Li Yunlong's unreasonable request and said in a more serious tone, "The right to take three independent actions? I don't know how big a mess you're going to cause. I can't agree to your condition."

The Eighth Route Army has regulations that require regimental units to consult their superiors before dispatching more than a battalion of troops.

If a battalion of troops is transferred from the base without permission, the regimental commander will be punished.

However, for the development of the troops, the brigade commander actually acquiesced to some autonomy for Li Yunlong, such as transferring a battalion away from the base to fight.

However, the brigade commander just acquiesced and did not say it explicitly. Li Yunlong suffered this loss in the original drama, and the brigade commander robbed two companies of their military horses.

However, it is absolutely not allowed to transfer a regiment away from its base without the permission of superiors.

What if we take this regiment to surrender to the enemy?
Li Yunlong's condition actually meant that he wanted to command the entire regiment to leave the base three times without asking for permission to fight and make a fortune secretly.

This is called making a fortune in silence.

Li Yunlong bravely said, "Brigade Commander, this is irrational. You want the horse to run without feeding it; you want me to be a good boy, but you also want me to get weapons and equipment... I'm not doing this out of any genuine desire to violate discipline. I'm mainly trying to earn weapons and ammunition for our Eighth Route Army, right? This time we earned over thirty 75mm mountain guns and 180 million rounds of ammunition. Maybe next time it'll be over thirty 105mm howitzers and 500 million rounds of ammunition."

Alcohol emboldened the coward, Li Yunlong retorted, but fearing that he would be scolded by the brigade commander, he quickly painted a big pie for the brigade commander.

"105mm howitzer? Is there really such good equipment?" The brigade commander was immediately attracted by the 105mm howitzer and 500 million rounds of bullets, and did not care about Li Yunlong's retort.

"Brigade Commander, it's true!"

Li Yunlong's expression and tone seemed very serious, and he nodded:

"Not only 105mm howitzers, but also howitzers with a caliber of 150mm and above, as well as aircraft and tanks."

These are the exact words that Boss Lin said to Li Yunlong, but Li Yunlong suspected that Boss Lin was just empty talk.

Although the suspicion was somewhat dispelled due to the incident of 36 75mm mountain guns, it did not affect Li Yunlong's promise to the brigade commander. Li Yunlong estimated that the brigade commander would like to hear this. Otherwise, why do they say that ancient emperors liked treacherous ministers?
As Li Yunlong expected, the brigade commander's expression softened. He looked at Political Commissar Wang and asked, "Old Wang, what do you think?"

The brigade commander saw that Li Yunlong's words were very convincing, but he was also a little skeptical. Howitzers, planes, tanks...

Thinking that this time the other party gave Li Yunlong a Bofors mountain artillery regiment, more than 1 artillery shells and 180 million rounds of bullets, the brigade commander suddenly felt that it was somewhat credible.

But what if it really comes true?
Wouldn’t the 386th Brigade and even the entire Eighth Route Army have become rich?

Political Commissar Wang pondered for a moment, then said, "According to discipline, this is a matter of principle. We should not agree to Comrade Li Yunlong's conditions."

"But now is a special period. Any issues of principle are aimed at strengthening the cohesion of the troops, strengthening the strength of the troops, and defending the country against the Japanese invaders."

"Comrade Li Yunlong led his troops to fight the Japanese and earn weapons and equipment. His goal was to strengthen the troops and fight the Japanese. This did not conflict with the principle."

"I suggest that, under special circumstances, Comrade Li Yunlong may have the autonomy to mobilize troops, but he must simultaneously notify the brigade headquarters by telegram or signalman."

Political Commissar Wang could see that the brigade commander had actually already agreed in his heart.

So he analyzed it from a professional perspective and agreed to Li Yunlong's second condition.

In fact, Political Commissar Wang was also tempted. Who doesn’t want planes, tanks and cannons?

With these weapons and equipment, how many more Japanese soldiers can be killed on the battlefield? How many fewer soldiers will be sacrificed?

"What about you?" The brigade commander looked at Chief of Staff Zhou and Deputy Brigade Commander Chen.

"I have no objection." said Chief of Staff Zhou.

"I have no objection," Deputy Brigade Commander Chen said. "Should we consult with the division and headquarters on this matter?"

"No need. I'll take responsibility if anything goes wrong," the brigade commander said firmly. "Li Yunlong, I agree with your opinion, but you only have one chance. And you must notify the brigade headquarters and report your battle plan."

"After you earn weapons and equipment, you can't hide them. You must hand over a portion to the brigade headquarters."

"Also, if you encounter an enemy you can't handle, you can always request support from the brigade headquarters. The brigade headquarters will fully support your new regiment."

"If even the entire 386th Brigade can't handle it, then I'll go find the division commander."

The brigade commander has unconditional trust in Li Yunlong.

The reason Li Yunlong was asked to notify the brigade and report the battle plan was that if the division or headquarters discovered that the New 1st Regiment was not stationed, and their superiors asked about it, the brigade commander could say that he had sent the New 1st Regiment to carry out the combat mission. He could even proactively report the New 1st Regiment's actions to the division to silence others.

The brigade commander has rich command experience and seniority, and can mobilize a core regiment at any time.

"If you fight to my satisfaction in the first battle and hand over a lot of weapons and equipment, I can consider giving you a few more such opportunities. In a word, just go for it, I'll cover you." The brigade commander painted a pie in the sky for Li Yunlong.

Now the troops need to set up a base and expand their forces vigorously, and there is a serious shortage of weapons and ammunition.

This time, Li Yunlong led his troops to a great victory and handed over so many weapons and equipment, including a mountain artillery regiment known as the strategic-level weapons of the Eighth Route Army and two bases of artillery shells.

Cadres like Li Yunlong are truly treasures.

As long as Li Yunlong did not commit the fundamental mistake of leading his troops to surrender to the enemy and completely disobeying orders, he would at most be punished slightly.

Brigade Commander Men Qing.

"Thank you, Brigadier General. Thank you, Brigadier General."

Li Yunlong was waiting for the brigade commander to say this. He filled his wine bowl, picked up the bowl and said:
"Commander, I'll finish this bowl of wine. Please feel free to do as you please."

After saying this, Li Yunlong put the whole bowl of wine to his mouth and drank it all in one gulp.

The brigade commander also finished half of the sweet potato soup in his bowl.

After eating some more meat, Li Yunlong stood up and said goodbye: "Brigade Commander, Political Commissar, Chief of Staff, Deputy Brigade Commander Chen, you guys take your time eating. I have something else to do, so I'll go back to the regiment first."

"Okay!" The brigade commander nodded and instructed, "Be careful on the road, take it easy, and don't cause any trouble."

"Yes!" Li Yunlong put on his military cap. "Don't worry, Commander. I promise I won't cause any trouble."

After saluting, Li Yunlong turned around and walked out. He had important things to do.
