Anti-Japanese War: Li Yunlong dared to attack Taiyuan

Kong Jie was stunned for a moment when he heard this name, but Li Yunlong immediately reacted: "What are you doing here, you idiot?"

Hearing the name Kong Erlangzi, Kong Jie immediately said, "Li Yunlong, I knew nothing good could come out of your mouth!"

Although the two were bickering, they still hugged each other.

"You're quite good, kid. I heard you killed a Japanese colonel and won a first-class merit?"

After Kong Jie let go of Li Yunlong, he looked at Li Yunlong carefully. After confirming that Li Yunlong was not injured, he immediately joked.

"Is it okay? Why are you here?"

Because Li Yunlong did not disobey military orders in the Battle of Cangyunling, he was sent to Yangcun for garrison after retreating from Yujialing. The independent regiment did not encounter a sneak attack by Yamamoto's special forces. Kong Jie is still the commander of the independent regiment.

"Come to the clothing factory to get some new winter clothes, and also apply for some ammunition..."

Kong Jie stopped talking the moment he finished. Who is Li Yunlong? If he told him he had something good, this old guy would definitely try to snatch it away.

"Look at how nervous you are, I don't even think much of your stuff!"

Li Yunlong is not short of winter clothes now. The clothing factory distributes clothes in two ways. One is based on applications from various troops, and then distributes a part of them according to the number of applications. For example, if an independent regiment applies for 1,000 sets of military uniforms, the clothing factory can give roughly 200 sets.

Another way is to exchange clothes with the clothes captured from prisoners. For example, Li Yunlong killed a battalion of puppet soldiers in the Wanjia Town Cavalry Battalion, and the captured supplies included their uniforms.

These uniforms were sent to the clothing factory and after being rinsed and dyed, they could become new uniforms. Therefore, each unit could exchange their uniforms with the captured puppet or Japanese uniforms on a one-to-one basis.

The uniforms of Yamamoto's special forces and the supplies of a cavalry battalion are enough to provide all the soldiers of the new regiment with a new set of uniforms.

As for bullets, Li Yunlong looked down on them even more. The arsenal now mainly produced bullets and grenades, and could only produce three or four rifles a day. Bullets had the most problems because they were all manually loaded with ammunition and primers, and the trajectory would deviate if the bullets were fired more than ten meters.

Kong Jie breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Li Yunlong was not interested in his things, and Li Yunlong smiled and took Kong Jie to a truck.

"Truck? Captured?"

Li Yunlong smiled and took Kong Jie directly into the car, revealing the various weapon boxes in the truck. After opening them, they were all filled with brand new weapons.

"You've made a fortune, boy! Everyone who sees it gets a share. Give me some!"

Kong Jie couldn't help but be tempted by the sight of so many weapons and ammunition. Li Yunlong heard this and immediately said, "Kong Erlangzi, you keep calling me a bandit, but you're no good either. How can I divide them up just because I see them? Go, go, go, get out of here!"

As Li Yunlong spoke, he picked up a Type 99 light machine gun and said, "New guns are great!"

"Alright, Li Yunlong, how could I not know what I'm up to? You're definitely not showing off your wealth by showing me so many things for no reason. Tell me, what do you want?"

Seeing Kong Jie's confident look, Li Yunlong immediately laughed and said, "Kong Erlangzi, you really guessed wrong. People say that after three days of separation, one should look at each other with new eyes. We haven't seen each other for half a year. I, Li Yunlong, am no longer the same Li Yunlong. I was just showing off my wealth, hahaha!"

After Li Yunlong finished speaking, he directly pulled Kong Jie away to see the next truck of equipment, but he did not make any requests. He felt itchy in his heart when he saw Kong Jie.

After touring half of the New 1st Regiment, Kong Jie couldn't help but say, "Old Li, I want a few light machine guns and a heavy machine gun. Name your price. What do you want?"

Although the Independent Regiment is also a main force regiment, its equipment is far inferior to that of the New 1st Regiment.

"want to?"

Li Yunlong stopped and looked at Kong Jie pretending to consider.

Kong Jie nodded immediately after hearing this.

"But your independent regiment doesn't have anything I'm interested in. You, Kong Erlangzi, only have so much wealth. These things were earned by the brothers of my New First Regiment at the cost of their lives."

Li Yunlong pretended to think about it and shook his head, indicating that he was still unwilling.

Hearing this, Kong Jie immediately became anxious: "My independent regiment has nothing, but it has people. Didn't you, Li Yunlong, covet Wang Gensheng from my independent regiment before? How about I give him to you?"

Wang Gensheng was very accurate in throwing grenades and could easily throw them into the basket from dozens of meters away. When the New 1st Regiment and the Independent Regiment were fighting together, Li Yunlong had praised Wang Gensheng and envied him. Kong Jie always remembered it.

After hearing this, Li Yunlong just raised a finger.

"A Type 92? Switch!"

Li Yunlong snorted coldly and said, "Kong Jie, your men are made of gold, and they even have a Type 92 heavy machine gun and a Type 92 rifle!"

"No, we need at least four. Wang Gensheng is the treasure of our independent regiment!"

"There's no door!"

Li Yunlong refused directly and turned to leave.

After seeing this, Kong Jie immediately reached out and grabbed Li Yunlong, saying, "Old Li, give me some more. Three more thrusts, and I'll let Gensheng bring in a new group!"

Li Yunlong thought for a moment and said, "One Type 92 heavy machine gun, two Type 99 light machine guns, and two thousand rounds of ammunition!"

Hearing this, Kong Jie immediately smiled and said, "Deal!"

But Li Yunlong said, "Listen to me. Besides Wang Gensheng, I also want Shen Quan and Xizi!"

Hearing this, Kong Jie immediately got furious: "Li Yunlong, how about I just give you my independent regiment? Look at how much I, Kong Jie, am worth!"

"If you don't want to, forget it!"

Kong Jie gritted his teeth and said, "Shen Quan can't do it, but Xizi can, but the equipment needs to be doubled!"

Li Yunlong snorted coldly after hearing this: "Kong Erlangzi, you're the one begging me to change my equipment, not me. Let me tell you one last time: one Type 92 heavy machine gun, four Type 99 light machine guns, 4,000 rounds of ammunition, and a mortar. I want Shen Quan, Shen Quan, and Xizi. If you can't do that, forget it!"

Kong Jie was struggling with his conscience in his mind. Xizi was a good shot, and Wang Gensheng was also a good grenade thrower. Kong Jie didn't feel bad about exchanging weapons for these people. After all, these talents could be trained, and the independent regiment was in urgent need of these weapons.

But Shen Quan is different. He is already a company commander, and Kong Jie plans to train him to be a battalion commander. Somehow he was noticed by Li Yunlong.

Chapter 18 Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang meet for the first time

"not enough!"

Kong Jie resisted the temptation and shook his head to refuse.

"At most, we can add another radio. If that doesn't work, forget it."

Li Yunlong thought about it and decided that he had to get these people. He especially wanted Shen Quan. Shen Quan had good skills and could fight the monk on equal terms. He was also a talented commander.

Not to mention that Xizi is a sharpshooter. In the original novel, he killed 19 Japanese soldiers alone during the counter-mopping-up operation. Finally, after being surrounded by the Japanese soldiers, he killed another Japanese soldier alone. The combat effectiveness of one person is equivalent to that of a platoon. Wang Gensheng's role is in surprise attacks. He is good at throwing grenades and can solve many problems during the attack.

"Old Li, add some more!" After seeing Li Yunlong increase the bet again, Kong Jie couldn't help but want to ask for a little more.

“No more!”

Li Yunlong waved his hand, turned around and left. The price he offered was already very high, but Kong Jie was still not satisfied.

"Lao Li, Lao Li, let's discuss it again!"

Kong Jie still didn't give up. After watching Li Yunlong walk further and further away, he immediately said, "Okay, I promise you, one heavy machine gun, four Type 99 rifles, four thousand rounds of ammunition, a mortar, and a radio!"

Li Yunlong stopped after hearing this and said, "Okay, let's sign a document. I'm afraid you, Kong Jie, won't admit it."

Kong Jie was almost furious when he heard this. Did Li Yunlong think everyone was the same as him? Did he just turn his back on his promise? But for the sake of the weapons, he still agreed to sign and seal the deal, exchanging the four men for the weapons.

Li Yunlong smiled as he watched Kong Jie sign the agreement. "Kong Jie, hurry back and bring the person over. I'll hand over both the person and the weapon!"

Kong Jie looked at the receipt in his hand and said, "I have already written the receipt!"

"I'm afraid you won't admit your mistake and will regret not changing the person later!"

"Li Yunlong, don't ever ask me for help again!"

Kong Jie put the document into his pocket with dissatisfaction and left the New 1st Regiment Command. However, if Kong Jie and Li Yunlong were to make a deal, Kong Jie would probably do something even more excessive than Li Yunlong.

After Kong Jie left, Li Yunlong immediately took the seized quilts to the bedding factory to exchange for military uniforms. Li Yunlong was not demoted to embroidering at the bedding factory, so he relied on his eloquence to take away two hundred sets of military uniforms.

However, the quantity seized this time was sufficient. There were more than 600 puppet army uniforms in total, plus the previous inventory, which could be exchanged for more than 800 sets of uniforms. In addition, the New 1st Regiment itself had some winter clothes, so all members of the regiment had winter clothes to wear.

When Li Yunlong returned to the regiment headquarters with more than 800 sets of military uniforms, Zhang Dabiao was already waiting at the door.

"Captain, you're back! The new political commissar is here!"

"Zhao Gang is here?"

"Captain, do you know?"

"I know everything. Okay, lead the way!" Li Yunlong breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Zhang Dabiao's answer. What he was more worried about was that Zhao Gang would not partner with him because he did not make any mistakes.

Li Yunlong now admires Zhao Gang. As an outstanding graduate of Yenching University, he would be a hot commodity if he went to the National Army at that time, but he threw himself into the arms of our army without hesitation. He is both wise and brave, and he values ​​feelings and loyalty.

He is definitely the best candidate for the political commissar of the New 1st Regiment. After traveling through time and becoming Li Yunlong, one of Li Yunlong's goals is to change the fate of some people, such as Monk Wei, Zhao Gang, and Li Yunlong himself.

In front of the new headquarters tent of the new regiment, a young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes was directing the soldiers to organize their equipment. Ammunition boxes, weapon racks and other things were arranged very neatly under his command.

"Political Commissar Zhao, the commander is back!"

Zhao Gang turned his head and looked at Li Yunlong. Zhao Gang was full of curiosity about Li Yunlong. After all, before leaving, the division commander, chief of staff and brigade commander repeatedly warned people with bad tempers. However, after meeting Li Yunlong, Zhao Gang's first impression was that Li Yunlong was like an ordinary farmer.

"Hello, Commander Li, I'm Zhao Gang, the newly appointed political commissar of the New 1st Regiment from the division headquarters. Here's my letter of appointment."

Zhao Gang took out his letter of authorization and handed it to Li Yunlong. Li Yunlong opened it and took a look at Zhao Gang's resume before frowning.

Zhao Gang looked at Li Yunlong's frown and felt that the work might be difficult to carry out. According to what Zhao Gang learned, most officers like Li Yunlong who were promoted from the battlefield looked down on people who had no combat experience.

After graduating from Yenching University, Zhao Gang went to northern Shaanxi and studied there for more than a year without much practical experience.

"Are you a graduate of Yenching University?"

Zhao Gang nodded and was about to say something.

Li Yunlong grabbed him and asked, "What major did you study? Do you know mechanical manufacturing?"

Zhao Gang was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I studied literature and philosophy, so I don't know much about industry."

"Do you know any classmates who are studying this major? Can you invite two people to come? I have some questions I need to ask."

Zhao Gang couldn't help but be stunned. He obviously didn't expect Li Yunlong's first question to be this. After thinking for a while, he said, "Yes, but it will take some time. I need to write to them."

"That's great! I'm having some difficulties researching seamless steel and need some help from people with basic experience!"

As Li Yunlong spoke, he walked into the regiment headquarters and searched through his various drawings.

Zhao Gang looked at the design drawings in surprise: "Did you design all of these?"

"Well, I learned some of the design drawings for firearms and machinery by myself!"

As Li Yunlong spoke, he pointed to several books not far away. These were all things that Li Yunlong used as shields. After all, Li Yunlong went from a rough guy who knew nothing to a designer who was proficient in mechanics, so he always needed some excuses. Reading books and self-studying was the best excuse.

"Let me see!"

Although Zhao Gang was not an engineering student, students of this era studied a wide range of subjects and knew a little about everything. After seeing the contents on the drawings designed by Li Yunlong, he looked at Li Yunlong in shock.

These drawings are not drawn randomly, but are drawn according to a certain scale, and various standards and even precautions are marked.

Zhao Gang looked at Li Yunlong in surprise. He had read Li Yunlong's information. Before joining the army, he was a bamboo craftsman. His education level could not be said to be zero, but it could only be said to be better than nothing.

But now it is possible to draw various standard design drawings, and these drawings look like drawings for weapon designs.
