"Captain Li."

Without waiting for Li Yunlong to enter the door, Staff Officer Luo walked out and greeted him with a smile.

Staff Officer Luo is a steady person, although Li Yunlong is now treated as a deputy brigade commander, but his own position is still the regiment commander, and the military rank system is not popularized in the army, so Staff Officer Luo is still directly called the regiment commander, instead of jokingly calling the brigade commander like Kong Jie and Ding Wei.

"Counselor Luo."

Li Yunlong dismounted, and while responding to Staff Officer Luo, he looked around to find the brigade commander.

The devil's sweep has just retreated, and all units and bases are a bunch of things, and at this time, the brigade commander must be at the brigade headquarters, or in a few main regiments around the brigade headquarters, and he can't run far.

"Are you looking for the brigade commander?"

"The brigade commander has gone to inspect the troops and will be back soon."

Staff Officer Luo said, took Li Yunlong into the brigade headquarters, and then poured Li Yunlong a cup of tea.

At the same time.

Behind the brigade headquarters, in a dilapidated adobe house, the brigade commander was sitting leisurely, holding an unlit cigarette in his hand, the door was opened, and the brigade headquarters guard company commander ran in panting.

"Did Li Yunlong bring a transport team? How big is it? ”

As soon as the company commander entered the door, the brigade commander asked.

What Li Yunlong is doing, he couldn't be clearer.

This kid has a channel to get a large amount of supplies, as well as weapons and ammunition, and this time he is not only here to support the brigade headquarters and other troops, but also to ask for benefits. Of course, it's still here to show off by the way.

"Time is urgent, I don't have a specific number, it is estimated that there are more than 100 carts, all of which are pulled by that kind of big mules, there are more than 200 heads, and the carts are loaded with weapons and ammunition boxes and food bags, and the mules are carrying supplies on their backs, covered with canvas, and it is estimated that they are also food."

The company commander replied truthfully.

"Shhh

"More than a hundred carts, more than two hundred mules? Even a big mule carries a grain bag on his back? ”

Even if he was prepared, Li Yunlong would definitely not be short of supplies this time, but the brigade commander was still shocked.

With the mountain road here, the kind of cart pulled by a big mule, a cart can pull at least 500 kilograms of materials, and the cart and mule can also carry 200 catties of goods on its back, that is to say, Li Yunlong is afraid that he brought a small hundred tons of materials this time.

There were more than 200 big mules in the independent regiment, and this time they were all pulled out, and it was obvious that Li Yunlong's pocket must be full.

It is estimated that Li Yunlong is afraid that the sum of grain and ammunition this time is 2,000 tons smaller, and it will be compared to the harvest of the previous year at one time.

"Haha, this kid is really rich this time!"

After thinking about it for a while, the brigade commander got up and walked to the brigade headquarters command room with a smile:

"Let's go!"

"Let's go meet the rich man."

······

Inside the brigade headquarters.

The brigade commander had just walked into the command room, his front foot had just entered the door, and his back foot had not been raised.

Stand upright and salute:

"Brigadier Commander!"

The subconscious movements of the body, but Li Yunlong thought in his heart-

The brigade commander came from behind, the convoy was in front, and it was still ten miles away from here, and he was sprinting over on horseback, so the brigade commander should not know that he had brought the convoy.

Even if you guess, you can't guess the scale.

"Yo, Li Yunlong."

Walking into the room, the brigade commander glanced up and down at Li Yunlong.

The head is inch, the waist is straight, the eyes are sharp, although he is wearing a torn cotton military uniform with patches, and the hat is still a little crooked, but he can't hide the spirit.

"Yes, you're quite energetic, it seems that after your group broke through, life was not bad."

The brigade commander smiled, with a hint of satisfaction in his tone.

He was a little worried about the independent group before, but when he saw Li Yunlong's appearance, he was completely relieved.

What kind of regimental commander there is, what kind of regiment there is.

Looking at Li Yunlong's appearance, it shows that the spirit of the Independent Regiment has not been dispersed, and it can greatly reduce the morale of ordinary troops, and even more than half of the collapsed personnel have not had a great impact on the morale of the Independent Regiment, or it has been restored.

Li Yunlong was not injured, he was still able to get a large amount of weapons, ammunition and supplies, and it would not be long before the independent regiment that had held out for a month in the face of the Japanese army's 10,000 troops would be able to come back, or even stronger.

"How's the state of the troops now?"

The brigade commander then asked.

"Hey."

As soon as he saw that the topic was on the right track, Li Yunlong's tone immediately changed, and he sighed:

"The morale of the troops is fine."

"But you also know that the losses of our regiment are very serious, and the weapons and equipment are fine, but the personnel losses are too great."

"Half of the soldiers have been reduced, and the number of grassroots officers has been reduced by almost two-thirds, and even the commander of the second battalion has been injured and is still being nursed in the headquarters hospital, and it will take at least a month and a half to return to the team."

"Now that our regiment is seriously understaffed, and its combat effectiveness has declined too much, don't I come to you for help?"

Li Yunlong directly said what he meant.

"Officers?"

The brigade commander asked deliberately.

"Hey, hey, hey..."

Grand Master Li smiled:

"There is no problem with the soldiers, the recruits can be made up quickly, Zhao Jiayu's recruitment is very fast, that is, the officers are very troublesome, you know, our team is full of ordinary people, I don't know a single big character before enlistment, and the enlistment time is not long, cultural training is not enough at all, it's okay to be a squad leader, but the platoon commander and company commander are a little unqualified."

"So, I want you to ask for the grassroots officers trained by the headquarters, otherwise the independent regiment wants to restore its combat effectiveness."

"Hmm."

The Brigadier nodded:

"It is true that the lack of officers at the grassroots level has a great deal of combat effectiveness for the troops."

"How much do you want?"

Li Yunlong immediately quoted:

"Sixty, I want sixty, you know, our regiment has a big shelf, and this time the loss of officers is serious, some platoons are rushing to a hundred people, and there is a big shortage of officers."

Although the price code in my heart is forty, I can't directly quote the low price, right?

"Sixty?"

"You kid really have a lion mouth."

The brigade commander's voice suddenly raised:

"You think your regiment has a loss?"

"The previous sweep of the devils was the largest number of troops used by the devils in history, not only your regiment, but almost all the troops in our base area have been seriously reduced, and the troops with the lowest casualties have also been reduced by nearly one-third, and they are all in urgent need of grassroots officers to replenish."

"Moreover, the headquarters has also been forced to transfer, and there are a lot fewer officers who have been trained recently, and there are also a lot fewer of them assigned to our brigade this batch."

"Don't say sixty, even thirty, twenty, I don't have either."

"There are so many troops in our brigade, I can't give them all to you?"

The request of sixty officers was refused, and even twenty were not intended to be given, Li Yunlong was not surprised, he had not made an offer yet, and the brigade commander had raised the price, but the latter sentence made him happy in his heart.

The brigade commander never talks nonsense, this sentence must have been said on purpose.

In other words, there are really sixty of these new officers?

Then, as long as the price code is enough, can you get back sixty officers this time?

"Hey, brigade commander, don't."

Li Yunlong immediately put on a bitter gourd face:

"Twenty don't give you, aren't you embarrassed?"

"If you don't give more, a small number of people in the queue, where can this be managed? I'm afraid that if I go back, I will have to serve as a company commander, and the recovery of the strength of the troops will also be greatly affected. ”

"This time, I attracted more than 10,000 devils for a month, bought time for the transfer of other base troops, and bombarded the devil's Taiyuan Airport. Give me a little more. ”

"We can't afford to give a full meal to the children who can't work."

Li Yunlong's first price code directly showed the credit and sold miserably.

"It's not that I won't give it to you."

The brigade commander also sighed slightly, and used the same move to deal with Li Yunlong's miserable sale:

"I also have no choice, now all the regiments on my side, although the attrition is a little better than yours, but the loss of officers is about the same as yours, and the equipment is also a heavy loss, and the morale of the troops is greatly affected."

"There is no way to use weapons and equipment for the time being, and the headquarters arsenal has not resumed production, so if we don't have enough officers to improve their morale now, I'm afraid that there will be problems with the morale of the troops."

"You wait first, after this period of time, I will give you supplements, and when the time comes, I will give you as many grassroots officers as the headquarters gives me!"

Wait?

We have so many troops in our brigade, how long will we have to wait?

Moreover, if it is three or five months late, the growth of the strength of the independent regiment will be much slower.

Li Yunlong was about to speak, but the brigade commander spoke again: "Also, now that the base areas are facing a serious food problem, many troops are not well fed, and if they don't give some additional officers, I'm afraid that some units will fall apart." ”

Ask for food!

Weapons and ammunition!

The brigade commander is telling the truth, there is no exaggeration, after the heavy losses of the troops, it is necessary to add something, whether it is people or materials, give some new forces to restore the morale of the troops, otherwise a unit will really collapse.

But Li Yunlong also grasped the key point here.

If you want new officers, you can, just help the brigade headquarters solve these two problems, and the sixty company and platoon level officers are yours.

"It's easy."

Grand Master Li's business immediately improved, and even with a little sneer:

"Although we have suffered a lot of losses this time, the harvest is not small, I can still get a lot of food, weapons and ammunition, hehehe, especially grain, this time it is a bumper harvest."

"Oh?"

The brigade commander smiled and said:

"If you can get some weapons, ammunition and food, which can also help the troops regain their strength and morale, then I can call the shots and give you more junior officers."

"Okay."

Li Yunlong directly offered the price, of course, he pretended to grit his teeth: "Give me all your sixty officers, I can take out 400 tons of grain, 100 machine guns, 100,000 machine gun bullets, and 10,000 German tumors." ”

Four hundred tons!

Plus so much weapons and ammunition.

For sixty officers!

As soon as this price came out, the startled brigade commander almost nodded in agreement at that time.

He now has 160 junior officers, all of whom can directly serve as company and platoon officers, and at this price, if all of them are replaced, 1,000 tons of grain will rise.

Good guys, the problem of food and weapons in their brigade was solved all at once, and there is even a surplus!

It's fucking rich.

With a curse in his heart, the brigade commander controlled his expression.

"Sixty, no, at your price, I'll give you fifty at most, this is already the limit, you have to leave some for other troops." The brigade commander said in an unquestioning tone.

Satisfaction is satisfaction, but the price still has to be pressed, after all, the situation is indeed as he said, this sweep, the grassroots officers suffered great losses, and even sacrificed many battalion commanders.

"Brigade commander, I'll add another hundred tons, and give me all sixty officers."

Li Yunlong raised the price, of course, this was originally intended for the brigade headquarters.

500 tons of grain at the brigade headquarters, 1,500 tons from the logistics department of the headquarters, and the rest supported Ding Wei and Kong Jie.

"This..."

The brigade commander seemed to hesitate for a while, of course, in his heart was actually shocked.

Li Yunlong immediately threw out the last card:

"You have also seen the actions of the little devil this time, I have become a thorn in the side of the little devil, and I used 10,000 troops to attack the base of our regiment, this time I was not eliminated, and the devil will definitely continue to target the independent regiment next."

"I have to recover my strength as soon as possible to deal with the devil's attack, and the sooner our strength recovers, the more we can go out and earn something and come back."

When Li Yunlong said this, it seemed that he really said that the brigade commander had been moved, and the brigade commander fell into deep thought, with a solemn expression on his face.

Li Yunlong was overjoyed, it seems that this is right, the devil's action this time made the brigade commander very worried about the safety of his independent regiment.

"Are you planning to return to its previous size?"

The brigade commander asked suddenly.

"Yes."

Li Yunlong nodded:

"Five thousand, including the cavalry battalion."

"How many officers are missing?"

"The minimum requirement, without a deputy company commander, also requires one hundred and seventy or eighty."

After pondering for a while, the brigade commander lowered his voice:

"If you can get 2,000 tons of food, I will be able to get you 160 grassroots officers, who will be in office immediately, all of them are newly trained, at least two years veterans, and can directly command the troops."

"I will also give you three tank soldiers and four automobile soldiers, all of whom have served in foreign troops."

Li Yunlong was directly stunned, and was even a little moved for a while.

One hundred and sixty officers!

Also straight to the point!

Isn't there no problem at all with the restoration of the independent regiment to 5,000 people, or even 6,000 people?

Plus three tank crews, four car crews.

With the current shortage of officers everywhere in the army, even the brigade commander has to work hard to get it.

"Okay."

"I'll bring the grain over in a while."

Li Yunlong didn't bargain anymore, and immediately agreed, and then his tone was vigilant:

"But Brigadier, don't frame me."

One hundred and sixty grassroots officers, I am afraid that it will take several months for the training class at the headquarters to come out.

Hiss...

Li Yunlong's direct consent made the brigade commander, including Staff Officer Luo, breathe a sigh of relief in their hearts, 2,000 tons is purely a lion's mouth, originally thought that Li Yunlong would lower the price, but he actually agreed directly.

And looking at the tone, can it be delivered quickly?

The two then looked at each other, and a thought flashed through their hearts.

How many good things did you get this time?

"When did I lie to you?"

The brigade commander raised his tone:

"Okay, I'll give you 160 officers, and you can get me 2,000 tons of food, as well as those weapons and ammunition, but the ugly words are ahead, and it is not allowed to violate the discipline of the army when it comes to making food, if I let me know that you are attacking the people, no matter how much credit you have, I will shoot you directly."

"You don't have to worry about this."

Li Yunlong patted his chest.
