Yang Village, the dilapidated but airtight adobe regimental headquarters.

Huang Baowang, the commander of the transportation company, opened the door and looked at Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang, who were sitting on the kang.

"Regiment commander, political commissar, I have counted all the materials of our regiment at present."

The independent regiment is already a big business, more than 2,000 weapons, ammunition, military uniforms, horses, etc., the statistical workload is not easy, coupled with the recent combat missions, until now, Huang Baowang has completed the statistics.

"It's also counted in the secret warehouse?"

Li Yunlong looked at Huang Baowang.

By secret warehouse, he meant the third, the secret ammunition depot known only to no more than a dozen people. This warehouse Huang Baowang is aware. Even the transportation of supplies is mainly responsible for him.

"Yes."

Huang Baowang nodded, with a smile on his face:

"All the belongings of our group have been counted."

Although the statistical work was very tiring, especially for Huang Baowang, who was a monk halfway, those numbers were even more torture and pain, but when the statistics were completed, the figures representing the strength of the independent regiment made him happy from the bottom of his heart.

"Hahaha..."

Seeing Huang Baowang's appearance, Zhang Gang laughed and said, "Company Commander Huang, it seems that our regiment's material reserves are very rich." ”

"Yes."

Huang Baowang nodded vigorously: "Our group is very rich." ”

"Hahaha..."

"Come on."

Grand Master Li patted the chair on the side: "Report the belongings of our regiment to me and the political commissar." ”

"Yes."

Huang Baowang sat on the chair, opened a folder of seized devils in his hand, and began to report one by one with clear words:

"After the adjustment, the independent regiment now has a total of 2,277 people, of which the first, second, and third battalions are all 500 people, the cavalry battalion is 330 people, the artillery company is 120 people, the transport company is 200 people, and there are also regimental headquarters, security sections, guard platoons, and so on for a total of 127 people."

Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang nodded and continued to listen quietly.

The two of them know this data.

After the first battle of the independent regiment in Guanjianao, the officers promised by the brigade headquarters were in place, and the two began to adjust the structure of the independent regiment, adding new recruits from the militia battalion to each battalion, and adjusting the number of people in each battalion to prepare for the follow-up battle.

The Battle of the Hundred Regiments exposed the strength of the troops, and the battle of Guan Jia exposed the core base of the troops.

Huang Baowang continued:

"In terms of weapons and ammunition."

"The regiment has 2,100 Mauser rifles, of which 1,700 are already armed, 230 Czech and Bren light machine guns, 200 of which are equipped, and 1,270,000 Mauser pointed bullets are in stock."

"Excluding the guns of the battalion and company-level cadres, there are 500 20-round German-made shell guns, all of which are equipped with troops, mainly cavalry, and there are 390,000 rounds of ammunition for Mauser pistols."

"Twelve 60 mortars, six fire companies of three battalions, six in reserve, and five thousand in 60 mortar reserves."

"Ten 82 mortars, six artillery batteries are equipped, the remaining four are in reserve, and the 82 mortar reserves are 4,500 pieces."

"Two Type 92 infantry guns, with 500 rounds of ammunition."

"Five thousand big tumors made by virtue."

As Huang Baowang read them one by one, the smiles on Zhao Gang and Li Yunlong's faces became more and more intense.

Not counting the weapons equipped with the troops, the weapons and ammunition in the independent regiment are about 90 tons, and the two of them only knew this number before. It would have been a little more than a hundred tons, but the recent battles have consumed a lot,

However, compared with the total of more than 90 tons alone, this detailed number of each bullet can make people feel the power contained in the independent regiment, and it is unceremonious to say that today's independent regiment, if it encounters the Sakata United again, it can do it with a real knife, and it does not have to run as before, looking at the weak point and stabbing it.

"Hahaha..."

Grand Master Li even laughed directly:

"This family is really rich."

Rifles, after one shot per capita, there is still a surplus. Machine guns, the whole regiment can achieve an average of ten people. The number of bullets has reached more than 700 per capita. The artillery cannons are even more than half in reserve, and the reserve ammunition is close to 800 rounds for each gun equipped.

How rich.

Huang Baowang continued:

"Other materials..."

"There are three hundred and thirty cavalry horses, eighteen guard platoon horses, a saddle can be equipped with a saddle for one horse, one hundred and thirty large mules for transport, fifty ordinary mules, and twenty two-axle carts."

"The grain reserves can still be consumed by the whole regiment for two and a half months."

"In addition, there is one ton of sugar left, and there are three barrels of canned meat left."

"Only enough food for two and a half months?"

This is what Zhao Gang said: "Isn't it already the autumn harvest?" How can there be only these grains? ”

After the autumn harvest, not to mention the support of the common people, the troops themselves have planted a large amount of land, and the grain collected should be enough for the troops to eat for half a year, how can there be only two and a half months of reserves?

"There are only three barrels of canned meat?"

This is what Li Yunlong said.

Grand Master Li's tone was clear with pity. Three barrels of meat, that is, 300 kilograms of meat, sounds quite a lot, but on average, to the whole group, it is only a few taels of meat per capita.

"It's the autumn harvest, but recently a large number of people have fled here, and the food we have collected is much less than expected, and the daily food consumption of our group is too great."

Speaking of food, the smile on Huang Baowang's face disappeared instantly.

Two and a half months of grain reserves, at this juncture just after the autumn harvest, is indeed too little and too little.

"Still."

Huang Baowang added: "Potatoes have not been counted yet, this year's yield is high, counting potatoes, it can last for about four months, and if it is reduced to the previous consumption level, it can last for half a year." ”

With the improvement of weapons and equipment, the training level of the independent regiment has also been steadily improved, and the consumption of natural food has also been greatly increased. Compared with when Kong Jie was there, today's independent regiment has a per capita daily food consumption nearly fifty percent higher.

"How much food does our group consume every day?"

It was Li Yunlong who asked the question.

"More than 2,000 soldiers, the standard supply is two catties of staple food and one catty of vegetables per person per day, vegetables can be planted and eaten freshly, and the staple food is also replaced by potatoes, sweet potatoes and other miscellaneous grains, plus more than 300 military horses, as well as more than 100 large mules, and 50 ordinary mules, our regiment consumes at least 4,000 catties of staple food every day."

Huang Baowang replied.

Potatoes are a good thing, with high yields, long preservation, and they don't pick the land, and they won't spoil the stomach if they eat too much. But this thing is not a staple food, it is not hungry, it is no problem to fill the stomach in normal times, and in the face of heavy physical exertion of combat training, the soldiers must feed on staple foods such as millet, white flour or corn.

Otherwise, even if you go down five or six pounds of potatoes every day, after a day of training, you will still feel empty in your stomach, and you will not be able to recover your physical strength the next day.

Unless, there is meat and meat in the first place.

Moreover, when the livestock is carrying heavy loads, they must also eat a certain amount of hard food such as corn, otherwise it will be soft halfway.

"Four tons a day, minimum!"

Hearing this number, Zhao Gang's face was solemn.

In this era, excluding potatoes and sweet potatoes, only more than 100 kilograms of grain can be harvested every year on one acre of well-watered land, that is to say, the independent regiment needs 20 acres of grain supply every day.

This is not a small amount, these days, in the mountain villages, there are more than two acres of land per capita, and most of them are dry land, and the yield is very low.

He finally understood why the vast majority of the basic regiments only had seven or eight hundred people, or even even less.

I can't afford it!

Naturally, it is normal for the combat effectiveness of the backbone regiment to be low. If you don't have enough to eat, you have to spend a lot of time growing food, and the training time is naturally insufficient.

"You can't cut back on what the fighters eat, not even a bite."

Li Yunlong's tone was categorical: "I can't eat enough, I have the strength to train there, I can win the battle there, our independent regiment can beat the devil and cry my father and mother, I have a way to solve the food problem." ”

"You mean?"

Zhao Gang looked at Li Yunlong.

He guessed Grand Master Li's way.

Huang Baowang also looked at it.

"Yes."

Li Yunlong smiled: "Brother Chen Fan said that in a few months, he will be able to transport grain in, and when the time comes, the business can be exchanged for food and materials, and the quantity is enough." ”

Huang Baowang's eyes lit up.

For the sake of food, he is worried.

"It's a pity."

Grand Master Li suddenly smacked his mouth, and his tone was regretful: "The canned meat is gone, this thing has the same price as weapons and ammunition, and labor and management are reluctant to exchange this." ”

"No, no, no."

Zhao Gang didn't care: "Anyway, we have a few pigs ourselves, and the whole group can still eat some meat occasionally to satisfy our hunger." ”

······

The 358th Regiment of the Jin Sui Army was stationed.

"Tuanza."

Fang Ligong walked into the exquisitely decorated regiment headquarters and handed Chu Yunfei a secret letter: "This is a handwritten letter from Chief Yan. ”

"Oh?"

Chu Yunfei took the letter and opened it, and then his tone was full of exclamation: "This time, our chief has made a lot of money. ”

"What does the letter say?"

Fang Ligong was very curious.

If there is anything, you can't say it by telegram, but you have to write a personal letter. Moreover, judging from the attitude of the group, it doesn't seem to be a secret thing, otherwise this sentence would not have been said.

"It's not a secret."

Chu Yunfei smiled and shook his head: "Not long ago, you know about the Eighth Route Army, right?" ”

"Yes."

Fang Ligong nodded solemnly:

"The hand of the Eighth Route Army is really powerful, shelling Taiyuan Airport, forcing Yoshio Shinozuka to transfer troops back to help, and then concentrated forces to encircle and annihilate a large group of Japanese troops, and even before and after the battle, it only took one day to lay down a Japanese brigade with a strong position, forcing the Japanese army not to dare to divide troops at will."

"It seems that the impact of the large expansion on their combat effectiveness is not as great as expected."

As a unit that has fought with devils many times, Fang Ligong knows very well how strong the Japanese army is in combat effectiveness when it has strong field fortifications. To put it bluntly, if there is no heavy artillery in the Japanese position of a brigade, his 358th Regiment will definitely turn around and leave after seeing it.

"You know what?"

Chu Yunfei suddenly raised his tone, with a hint of horror: "The one who shelled Taiyuan Airport, and the first one to attack the position of the Japanese brigade that penetrated deep into their so-called base area, was the same regiment. ”

"Li Yunlong's regiment?"

Fang Ligong raised his eyebrows.

Li Yunlong's shelling of the Taiyuan Airport is well known throughout Taiyuan.

"Yes."

Chu Yunfei neatly folded the secret letter in his hand:

"It's Li Yunlong."

"And..."

After a pause, Chu Yunfei raised his tone:

"The shelling of Taiyuan Airport, from intelligence to marching, was completely planned by this person."

"This..."

Fang Ligong's eyes widened instantly.

With the strength of a regiment, planning an operation alone, and it is a big operation like shelling Taiyuan, how difficult it is, as an adjutant of a regiment, he knows it very well.

"If this is true, then this person is definitely a tiger general and has the qualifications of a general."

Fang Ligong narrowed his eyes.

"So..."

Chu Yunfei patted the secret letter that had been resealed in his hand: "Our Chief Yan's eyes are red. ”

"Red-eyed?"

Fang Ligong was stunned for a moment, and then reacted: "He's asking you to recruit this Li Yunlong?" ”

"Yes!"

Chu Yunfei said: "Not long ago, Chief Yan discussed with the top management of the Eighth Route Army that the Jin Sui Army would send some officers to the Eighth Route Army to learn tactics, and I was also among this group of officers, so Chief Yan asked me to go to Li Yunlong's independent regiment and recruit this person. ”

"This person is the main force of the Eighth Route Army, I'm afraid it's not so easy to recruit."

Fang Ligong pondered for a moment and said.

"Otherwise, why would our Chief Yan make a big deal?"

Chu Yunfei said with a smile:

"Chief Yan promised that as long as Li Yunlong came to and from the Jin Sui Army, then he would give him the treatment of the head of the main regiment."

"Awarded the rank of colonel, equipped with a large regiment with three thousand people, full of rifles, and machine guns to the squad, and allocated three hundred military horses, ten mortars to form a cavalry battalion and an artillery company, and even promised that the supply of ammunition would be given priority, ensuring that the troops would not be less than one ammunition base at any time, and that when foreign weapons assistance was in place, he would be given two more mountain guns."

"Shhh

Chu Yunfei's words, Fang Ligong gasped:

"It's a real big deal."

After the loss of the Taiyuan Arsenal, the supply of weapons to the Jin Sui army dropped sharply, and now the weapons imported from abroad have also been greatly reduced, not to mention that the machine gun has been popularized to the class, which is also not easy. Mortars and military horses were also deployed in short supply, and ammunition was guaranteed.

In the entire Jin Sui Army, there is only one person who has this kind of treatment, and that is his regimental seat Chu Yunfei.

"That monster wants to write a secret letter..."

Fang Ligong looked at the secret letter in Tuanzuo's hand.

With MeLetter, these words will be believed.

"Is there no one against this?"

Fang Ligong didn't understand.

Although Jin Suijun is almost a word of Chief Yan, it is not without other voices. Those bureaucrats will definitely not allow the real power faction to parachute into the Jin Sui military system.

A colonel who controls a large regiment of the main force has the same status as a general's commander.

"Of course there is, but..."

Chu Yunfei smiled:

"Defeat the Sakata Wing head-on, kill Sakata Daisa, annihilate a Japanese Kwantung Army squadron with the strength of a regiment, shell Taiyuan Airport alone, and break through the Japanese positions head-on..."

"As long as you do this, this regiment will give it to him."

It seems that Chief Yan is determined to recruit this person, and his own group also supports this matter. Yes, the group has always put the interests of the country first, and rarely cared about private interests.

Thinking of this, Fang Ligong didn't ask the following questions.
