Chapter 10 Bargaining
"The gun, the deputy general took it, and the division commander also accepted it"
At the regimental headquarters of the new regiment, the deputy general staff officer and Li Yunlong were sitting face to face, and the deputy general staff member said with a smile.
This sentence relieved Li Yunlong's heart, since the gift has been accepted, it means that there is hope and a turnaround, even if there is a follow-up punishment, it should not be removed.
As long as he stays in the new group, then the new group will still be his in the future.
He didn't speak, but listened patiently.
"The division commander and I have also persuaded the vice president" The deputy general staff glanced at it, and Grand Master Li, who was full of anticipation with wide eyes and a face full of anticipation, was still smiling:
"You also know the temper of the vice president, he is more stubborn than a cow, I have been persuading the division commander for a long time, and my mouth is about to wear out."
Hearing this, Li Yunlong's mouth opened and he looked at the deputy general staff in amazement. The implication of this sentence is obvious. In order to get a benefit, he twitched his face and quickly retracted his expression.
I didn't expect the deputy general staff, who has always been gentle and polite, to be...
He had a vague feeling that something was wrong.
"However, after the persuasion of me and the division commander..."
At this point, the deputy general staff deliberately stopped, he glanced at the look on Grand Master Li's face, the corners of his mouth hooked on his smiling face, and continued: "The deputy general has decided to change the previous decision on your punishment, and he does not plan to remove you from the position of head of the regiment."
"Don't punish me?" Li Yunlong finally couldn't help but ask.
"No," the deputy general staff shook his head:
"The vice president of your disobedience is still very angry, and he still plans to punish you, but the specific punishment decision has not yet been decided, and several of us are still discussing, and because of the persuasion of me and the division commander, he is now angry with me and the division commander."
"Huh?"
Grand Master Li's eyes widened and he looked at the deputy chief of the general staff dumbfounded: "That ······"
How could Grand Master Li, who was a good man, not hear the meaning of the deputy general staff's words?
The three of them were deliberating, and two of them offended him by doing things for him, and they were looking for him to ask for benefits! If you don't give benefits, you don't work.
This reminded him of what Zhang Dabiao had said before, that on the day when the deputy general staff came, someone inquired about the origin and quantity of the new weapons in the regiment, and he heard a lot of information, including the approximate number of the second batch of weapons, and even the ammunition depot secretly excavated by Shi Ziyan was even leaked.
Not long ago, the brigade headquarters also sent several staff officers to inspect...
One clue after another gathered in Grand Master Li's mind, and he understood.
Damn, this is my belongings for Lao Li·····
He knew that the weapons and ammunition from Chen Fan could not be hidden, and the high-level would definitely make a profit, but he didn't expect to start so quickly, originally he planned to make the new regiment bigger and stronger first, and then support the friendly army with Chen Fan's follow-up business gains.
"Well, how is the headquarters going to punish me?" After being silent for a few seconds, Grand Master Li decided to break the fortune and avoid disaster after the battle between heaven and man.
There is no way, the official university crushes people to death, he is facing three officials who are several times better than him, what can he do? Now there is a handle in the hands of others, any one, and a word can make him sew clothes.
What hasn't been discussed yet, and what concrete results have not yet been discussed? Who to fool!
Isn't it just to look at the price he offered, the price is satisfied, then there is nothing, a merit is over, maybe there is a verbal or written award, if the price is not satisfied, I am afraid that the director of the clothing factory will be demoted·····
Damn, I'm going to tell Brother Chen Fan later, the next batch of materials will be delivered after a while, otherwise I'm afraid it will be in the tiger's mouth...
"There are several plans, but they haven't been decided yet, and there have been some bad things recently, and the deputy commander-in-chief has a very bad temper," the deputy general staff began to hint directly.
"What's wrong?"
Li Yunlong was very cooperative, he pretended to be relaxed to hide the blood in his heart: "What's the matter?" Tell us about it, maybe we can help with ideas, I'm also a group leader."
"Didn't you go on a devil's sweep last time?"
Deputy General Staff Reflection and Recollection:
"Although the encirclement and suppression of the devils have been broken, the reduction of troops is not large, but the loss of weapons and ammunition is very large, especially machine guns and bullets, many regiments and even a company have less than one, and the average ammunition per capita is less than five rounds, and the troops have been expanding recently, and there is a huge shortage of weapons and ammunition."
"You also know that the arsenal in our headquarters has insufficient processing capacity, so we can only reluctantly repair the gun, and the damaged Type 92 you sent over can't be repaired now, let alone make a gun."
"Because of this, the deputy commander-in-chief has been in a bad mood recently"
"You've hit the muzzle of a gun this time."
At the end, the deputy general counsellor sighed, as if sighing for Li Yunlong's luck.
Li Yunlong nodded, this is the truth, the Eighth Route Army is hard, poor haha.
He was able to use a year to build the new regiment into the first main force of the 129th Division through a set of tricks and abduction of the devil's puppet army, mainly because its Eighth Route Army was too poor, everyone was bitter haha, and he was just a tall one among the short ones.
However, the main thing about weapons and ammunition is that you are in charge, and it should be you who is most worried about this matter, not the deputy commander... Li Yunlong complained in his heart, but he didn't dare to say a word of.
In order not to become the director of the quilt factory, in order not to lose a new group, Grand Master Li gritted his teeth and took the initiative to stretch out his neck:
"How big is the gap in our 129th Division? This time, I defeated the Sakata Wing and captured a lot of weapons and ammunition, which can support the brother troops, after all, everyone is the Eighth Route Army, and they are a family."
"Do you support the brother troops a little? The ideological consciousness is very high."
The Deputy General Staff first nodded in praise, and then looked abrupt:
"That's right, if you can properly solve the problem of the headquarters, and then the division commander and I persuade again, maybe this matter will be over, and it will be the same as before, and the merits and demerits will not be investigated."
"However, this time there is a big gap in weapons and ammunition, plus there are several new regiments to be formed, even if it is the minimum configuration, a battalion of five machine guns is replenished, and at least one hundred and fifty light machine guns are needed, not to mention the bullets, the previous anti-sweep has almost wiped out all the family funds"
"Now there are only more than 100,000 rounds of ammunition in the logistics department of the division headquarters, and even the more than 10,000 rounds of ammunition you gave me before."
Although it is selling miserably and raising prices, this sentence is the truth, and the data is not falsified.
Pulling the banner of the United War of Resistance, nominally the Eighth Route Army is the 18th Route Army, which accepts the unified command of the national government and enjoys the same treatment as the national army, but in fact, it is completely an abandoned child.
Weapons and ammunition or something, I haven't given a grain for a whole year, and what I gave before was still from the high-level people, and the military salary is still being given, but it hasn't risen at all, and the depreciation rate of the fiat currency is ·····
Seriously speaking, in fact, the ammunition and other supplies of the Eighth Route Army mainly rely on the puppet army.
"Only 100,000 shots..." Li Yunlong sighed silently.
About 100,000 rounds of ammunition seem to be a lot, and he only used more than 40,000 rounds of ammunition in the battle of Cangyunling throughout the day, but he is only a regiment of more than 1,500 people, while the headquarters has more than 23,000 regular troops in preparation and more than 30,000 reserve militia divisions.
Counting guns, including machine guns, is five rounds per gun, counting people, that is, less than two rounds per person.
With such a few bullets, fighting a ghost battle, a brigade-level battle, it immediately went bankrupt.
"The last time I killed Sakata, I gained okay, but now the headquarters is so difficult, I have thirty machine guns, and there are three... 50,000 rounds of ammunition" Grand Master Li gritted his teeth, and the color of pain in his tone was clear and clear.
Now there are twenty-seven crooked guns in the regiment, and these machine guns are not good, so it's good to give them all out, and there are three Czech ones that were repaired by the arsenal before, adding up to exactly thirty, and it's not too distressing to give them all out.
50,000 rounds of ammunition, which is just over one-eighth.
Moreover, there was a follow-up batch of fifteen tons of weapons and ammunition.
Grand Master Li comforted himself in his heart.
I'm afraid this kid is richer than I thought······ The deputy general staff squinted his eyes and said with a smile: "Then I will thank you on behalf of the brother troops, this is a great help."
Li Yunlong breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, thinking that the price had been negotiated, and he was about to speak, when the deputy general staff member continued:
"However, this is still a drop in the bucket, there is really no way to do it at the headquarters at present, the deputy commander-in-chief can't sleep, you kid has a lot of ideas, you have a lot of ability, a backbone regiment is forced by you to lead the strongest main regiment in a year, machine gun firepower is a must in the whole army, is there a way to do more"
"At present, I have discussed with the commander-in-chief and the division commander that at least half of the machine guns are needed to barely meet the needs of the next stage of the devil's attack."
Speaking of this, the Deputy General Staff Officer glanced at Grand Master Li and smiled secretly.
Before coming, he had done a more detailed covert investigation, and with the help of the brigade personnel, the investigation went smoothly, and with the integration of intelligence and a certain amount of speculation, he had roughly figured out the family background of the new regiment.
Each squad had one machine gun, more than 100 machine guns in the whole regiment, more than one rifle, more than 200,000 rounds of ammunition, seven mortars, hundreds of shells, and a large number of German-made tumors.
Damn, a regiment of more than 1,000 people is so rich, and the bullet reserves are more than the 129th Division excluding the new regiment... After seeing the specific information, the deputy general staff member burst into foul language at that time.
So, he decided to squeeze a little more...
Li Yunlong suddenly felt cracked...
Thank you first, wear a top hat, then no matter if the persuasion is unsuccessful in the end, the weapon and ammunition just mentioned will not be able to escape.
A drop in the bucket, the deputy commander-in-chief was so worried that he couldn't sleep, that is, the price was not enough, everyone was in a bad mood, and persuasion would definitely fail.
As for the back, it's a complete showdown, and the price is clearly marked, especially the sentence that the new regiment is the strongest main regiment, and the machine gun firepower is the best in the whole army, which is completely talking about the home of your new regiment when I know·····
"Okay, I'll figure it out..."
Li Yunlong's tone was hateful, and his teeth creaked:
"According to the information I have gotten, there is a puppet army in Zuojiazhuang, more than 30 kilometers away from here, this puppet army is very wealthy, and it is said that there is a hidden ammunition depot, which contains a lot of good things."
"If I go to do it, I may be able to solve a lot of difficulties for the division headquarters, but this matter requires at least two battalions, preferably the whole regiment, and the time is difficult to set."
In line with the idea of suffering less losses, Li Yunlong seized the opportunity to ask for an opportunity for the whole regiment to take military action at will, under his full command.
"Okay, I'll tell your brigade commander to give your new regiment a chance to go out freely" The deputy general staff nodded with satisfaction: "You only need to report, and you can decide the battle plan and specific time."
Now the headquarters and more than a dozen main regiments are almost in the same area, and the new regiment belongs to the outer defense zone, and if there is preparation, it is not a big problem to move freely at once.
