Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Brigade's Business, and New Weapons

"Brigadier Commander?"

Brigade headquarters, Li Yunlong shrunk his neck slightly, stretched in and took a look.

Inside the house, there were only two people, and no important work was carried out, Staff Officer Luo made a map on the map, and the brigade commander looked at the map of the situation in the northwest of Shanxi hanging on the wall with his hands behind his back.

It is worth noting that the brigade commander was in a very good mood at this time with his brows loosened and the corners of his mouth curled.

"Yo, isn't this Brigadier Li?"

Seeing Li Yunlong's head stretched in, the brigade commander turned his head and said.

After the formation of the base area centered on Zhao Jiayu, a large amount of food and materials were provided to the troops, as well as funds, and even self-produced weapons and ammunition.

"Hey, hey, hey..."

Grand Master Li smiled, straightened his hat, and walked in:

"Commander, we're still a little leader."

"Commander?!"

The brigade commander snorted:

"I heard that your kid has recently formed a tank unit, and there are quite a few of them, and your regiment is a bit powerful. I don't have a single tank in my brigade, not even a few artillery. ”

"I'm here to congratulate you on making a fortune!"

"Hey, hey..."

Grand Master Li touched his head, not only did he not coax him this time, but he also smiled, walked to the table and stood, and the topic went straight to him:

"Our Xiao Li has indeed made a fortune recently, but it is only a small fortune, and he can't be on the stage."

"You can't get on the table."

"Speaking of tanks, brigade commander, would I like to give you fifteen tanks? Form an armored battalion? I'll arrange it when I go back, and I'll send it to you tomorrow, and the fuel and spare parts are guaranteed to be complete, and you can go to the battlefield immediately. ”

Today, the Independent Regiment has fifty No. 4 tanks, and although they train frantically, they have enough spare parts to easily repair any injuries as long as they are not damaged to the frame of the body.

The maintenance policy is just one word.

Change.

What is bad for what, what can't be repaired is lost, and those that can be further repaired can be removed and repaired slowly, handed over to the logistics staff to tinker, slowly studied, and built hard, anyway, there is a master to guarantee the bottom.

Even if it is repaired, it is not distressed, and it is even earned.

Therefore, the number of tanks that can be used in the regiment has been kept at more than 40, and in addition, Brother Chen will come over to deliver goods in two days, and he can accept a batch of new tanks, and there is no problem in distributing 20 tanks to the brigade headquarters.

"Forget it, you can keep it for yourself."

To Li Yunlong's expectation, the brigade commander waved his hand without hesitation, and directly did not want it.

The brigade commander had a clear heart.

Tanks are a good thing, but not for the current troops.

Nowadays, the troops are fighting against the devils, and they are all multi-terrain movement warfare, and a unit often maneuvers extensively in the mountains and plains, mainly in small-scale and short-term contact battles with the devils, and the purpose is also very clear, to consolidate the core base areas, expand the peripheral base areas, and encroach on the Japanese-occupied areas.

The mismatch between tanks and troop mobility is a burden for troops that do not need to attack fortifications and launch large-scale offensives. It would be better to stay on Li Yunlong's side to attract the attention of the devils in North China.

"If there are cannons, you can give me a few, of course, the more the better, the larger the caliber, the better, and give more shells, I guess we need artillery that can attack in the second half of next year."

The brigade commander actually took a fancy to Li Yunlong's Type 92 infantry gun, Bofors Mountain Artillery, and 120 mortars, and planned to get some to equip the troops to prepare for future battles.

But he didn't expect it to be.

"Hey, hey, hey..."

"It's easy to say, among the small fortunes that our Xiao Li has made recently, there is still a little bit of artillery."

Grand Master Li's expression remained unchanged, and he continued to smile:

"So, I'll find a way to get you thirty Type 92 infantry guns, nine thousand shells, plus twenty Bofors 24 times the diameter mountain guns, six thousand shells, what do you think?"

The Type 92 is very light, the shells are light, Bosford is not much heavier, and the 75 shells are too, which does not add up much. Now that he is rich, Grand Master Li no longer picks the door in a small place. And the brigade commander is right, enough artillery can indeed reduce a lot of casualties for the troops.

"Not bad, not bad."

"It can be of great help to our troops, and it can reduce a lot of casualties when attacking in the future."

The brigade commander was satisfied, very satisfied, but out of the lessons of the last business, he only said two good things, and he didn't show it on his face, he was calm.

"As for attacking heavy artillery, this one is a bit difficult to do······"

Grand Master Li said this, thinking about it for a while.

This dog thing, really has a heavy artillery?

This scene made the corner of the brigade commander's eyes jump, and he even took a breath of cool air in his heart.

Or is it a stormy heavy artillery?

Looking at this bargaining appearance, it seems that you can get a lot. The brigade commander could see at a glance that Li Yunlong's pretense of hesitation was nothing more than bargaining, could he still understand this kid?

Also, there are tanks, and it's not surprising that there are heavy artillery.

I don't know what kind of heavy artillery?

Don't just be that kind of five or six ton heavy artillery, that thing, the troops can only watch when they get it.

"I can get a batch of 160 heavy mortars."

Li Yunlong cleared his throat.

“160?”

The brigade commander swallowed his throat, and Staff Officer Luo on the side did the same.

Now there are several 120 mortars in the artillery battalion of the brigade headquarters, this thing can really be said to be hugely powerful, a single power exceeds the devil's 105 cannons, and ordinary civil engineering fortifications can be destroyed with one shot.

If there was such a thing when I fought Yamazaki before, then I still need to mobilize the whole division?

They did it themselves.

Shoot a few more 120 mortar shells at the Guan family occupied by the Yamazaki brigade, destroy the Yamazaki devil's position and firing point, and then the troops will charge and the battle will be resolved within a few hours!

And the casualties are small.

So, this is more than 120 and how powerful should a 40-caliber heavy artillery be?

"How's the stats?"

The brigade commander then asked.

For the troops, mobility is more important, and a usable gun is needed, and the terrain of a few tons of big guys in the mountains cannot be maneuvered at all, so it is estimated that it can only be used as a decoration.

"The total weight is one and a half tons."

Li Yunlong smiled and began to say the data of 160 repression:

"The gun body is more than 200 kilograms, the gun carriage is more than 800 kilograms, the bottom plate is more than 200 kilograms, there are tires to assist the maneuvering, the maximum effective firing range is 8.6 kilometers, the shell weighs 42 kilograms, and the charge is 8.8 kilograms of black sokin."

As soon as this data came out, the two brigade headquarters took a breath of cool air together.

42 kg shells, 8.8 kg charge, don't think about it, unless it is a concrete fortress, otherwise the standard civil fortifications of the devil can be wiped out with one shell, and there is not a kind left, the power is enough.

And.

Both men are long-term commanders with rich combat experience and are well aware of the troops' current mobility capabilities.

This cannon, the gun body and gun carriage are very heavy, and it is very troublesome to deploy it with pure manpower, but it is still within the bearing capacity of the troops, and it can barely be carried in the mountainous areas.

Anyway, it is used to attack fortifications, and it is enough to have 82 guns and 60 guns to move with the troops.

"This cannon is good for everything, but it is troublesome to deploy, there is no machinery and equipment, it is very troublesome to move from marching to expanding the position, and it will take half an hour at the earliest."

Li Yunlong continued.

"How many doors can you get? How many shells are there? ”

The brigade commander ignored Li Yunlong's topic.

As long as the heavy artillery can maneuver, it doesn't matter if it is slow. The point is on quantity, it's okay to have fewer guns, more shells, mortars are less accurate, a little more shells are needed to cover the shelling.

"Hmm."

Now Li Yunlong really began to think carefully.

Although the independent regiment is rich, but now the consumption is really large, 60 tons of ammunition is consumed every day, and now the little devil planes are not going out, and the devil's technical arms are very small in Ping'an County, and the ammunition inventory is slowly declining every day.

The 160 heavy artillery shells are really not light, one weighs 42 kilograms, and this does not include the propellant and the outer packaging, these two and the projectile add up to more than 50 kilograms and almost 60 kilograms, and one ton is only exchanged for 18 shells.

Even if he doesn't dare to let go of his hands and feet!

He really doesn't have much to spare right now.

"Brigadier, you know that."

Li Yunlong gritted his teeth and offered the price directly.

Although this will be slaughtered, they are all their own people anyway, and they will not lose money anywhere in their weapons and equipment, and the sooner they get their hands on them, the faster the troops will be formed, and the more they will earn with double reimbursement from Brother Chen.

Especially the tank troops, now it is only confirmed that there is no shortage of equipment, and there are completely tanks that no one drives.

He went on to say:

"Our independent regiment has recently become bigger, there is a shortage of grassroots officers, and a tank unit and an air defense unit have been formed, which are all technical arms, and there is a great demand for literate soldiers, can you get me more?"

"The stronger my troops, the more heavy artillery and shells they can get."

"There is a shortage of grassroots officers, and soldiers with a level of cultural knowledge are needed?"

The brigade commander narrowed his eyes and thought to himself.

It seems that the dog's hands and feet are much bigger than he expected.

The headquarters sends people to the base area in a bunch every month, although only some of them go to the army, and the rest are building brigades and factories to produce materials, but it also shows that this dog thing is probably planning to make a big group out.

Regiments of the Legion.

"Okay, I'll find a way to get it for you, no, I'll go to the border area to get it for you personally."

The brigade commander exhaled:

"Let's set a number, I also want to ask for people, I think you also know that the soldiers with cultural knowledge are the treasures of various troops, those guys, if you don't see rabbits, you won't scatter eagles."

"It's better to have some 120 mortars and shells, more shells, this thing is urgently needed by the troops."

"That's fine."

Li Yunlong was immediately overjoyed:

"Let's set a data, initial Chinese, high Chinese, university level, three grades, counting by head."

Though.

Now the ammunition inventory has begun to decrease, but the speed is not fast, after all, the independent regiment is not only fighting with the devil Ping'an County, but also has other actions, which can always make some extra money, and the devil has recently made new moves, and it is more than one-third away from the goal of 15,000.

It's almost there.

It's almost there.

It's almost there.

The time is coming to realize the freedom of weapons and ammunition, and the day is coming when the phobia of fire is completely cured.

A bargain followed, and finally the actual data was scored.

Of course, Grand Master Li also refused to suffer:

"However, the thirty Type 92 and twenty Bofors mountain cannons that I promised before must also be counted, and I have to deliver them slowly, the quantity is too large, and we can't take them out at once."

"Okay."

The brigade commander nodded immediately.

With this condition, even if it is halved, he will take it and ask for someone, and he will ask for one by one.

There are actually a lot of talents in the army, after all, in recent years, the life of the army has been getting better and better, and more and more talents have been attracted, and the scale of the anti-big side is expanding day by day, and more and more people have been trained, but these people are the pillars, once they leave, it will affect the work, and it will also affect the combat effectiveness of the troops, it is not easy to let people go, but with this price, it is much easier.

Staff Officer Luo smiled on the side.

For Li Yunlong's weapon, in the weirdness of things, the troops

"Hahaha..."

"Hahaha..."

Rarely, when they left, both of them were smiling and laughing heartily.

In this business, the price is fixed, and the final payment and get depends on how much the other party can take, so both of them are very satisfied, and they have no regrets about the specific items of the business.

After Li Yunlong left, the brigade commander looked at Staff Officer Luo:

"Over there, how many intellectuals are there in the next group of intellectuals who are going to Zhao Jiayu's base area?"

"Five hundred and three hundred, the lowest are all high school level, and one-third are college students."

Staff Officer Luo reported the numbers.

The base areas of the independent regiment are becoming more and more important, and with a large amount of materials, a large amount of funds, and an important weapons production base, it is natural that the troops are also supporting the independent regiment more and more, and because of these funds, the troops can also expand the absorption of intellectuals.

Although the Republic of China is a weak country, but such a large size, there are a lot of intellectuals, in the past, the conditions of the troops were poor, not much attracted, but now the situation is different, just a meal of fine food and a series of achievements, so that many anti-Japanese activists came to take the initiative to defect.

If it weren't for the purpose of screening spies and avoiding damage to the little industrial and economic foundation that had been developed with great difficulty, and preferring to have a shortage rather than an abundance, this group of people would have given Zhao Jiayu a base long ago.

"Five hundred and thirty people, hehehehe..."

Glancing at the written price code, the brigade commander suddenly said:

"Convey orders to the main forces and have all the regimental commanders come over for a meeting."

"I'll go to the headquarters first, it's big business."

"Okay."

Staff Officer Luo nodded, and his heart was full of thoughts.

This time, the brigade commander planned to make Li Yunlong owe a large amount of weapons and ammunition.

Zhao Jiayu's base area belongs to Jinchaji, and the materials produced flow directly to Jinchaji, so the life of Jinchaji is getting better and better, and the development is getting faster and faster, and because they are Li Yunlong's direct superiors, the scale of their brigade is also getting bigger and bigger, and the overall strength is strong, which can be said to be the best.

Summoning the head of the group to a meeting, the meaning is very clear, and the grassroots officers will be dispatched to the independent map! Anyway, the machine guns in the brigade are rich, and they are about to reach the level of one in a squad, and there is no need for fierce battles, the devils are busy dealing with the independent regiment, and the lack of grassroots officers does not have much impact, so just train them slowly.

This is also the meaning of going to the headquarters, looking for someone to do big business together.

If he did this business with the headquarters, and then added Kang Da, it was estimated that Li Yunlong would owe more than 2,000 tons of ammunition.

The attitude of the troops towards Li Yunlong's side is very clear, they should take food and materials hard, but they should be cautious in their weapons and equipment, and try their best to maintain equipment that can sustain ammunition, so 120 mortars and 160 mortars, which have no production capacity, try to store as much ammunition as possible.

······

During Li Yunlong's return to Zhao Jiayu from the brigade headquarters, in the waters outside the Huangpu River, two devil warships that had gone out to patrol were in the deep water area, and a violent explosion suddenly broke out at the bottom of the boats, and the gunpowder smoke and water splashes from the explosion almost enveloped the two warships of several hundred tons.

When the smoke clears, people nearby look.

Originally, the warships of the two devils, one of which was blown up at the waist, was sinking rapidly, and the other was no better, capsizing and carrying it underwater, at an extremely fast speed.

"Shhh

On the shore, Comrade Wen, who was holding a telescope to observe, swallowed his saliva.

Is the Independent Regiment so ruthless?

How much explosives was used?

As a person who fought from the seaside, he knew very well that with such a violent explosion and such a fast sinking speed, the devil in the warship could not run out of ten people.

On the other side, Wang Gensheng also put down the telescope in his hand

"Let's go, go back to the regimental headquarters."

····

At the same time.

The mountain peaks near Zhao Jiayu.

"Sinking two Japanese warships, with a total tonnage of 1,300 tons, and killing 247 sailors"

"Price code: 3,200 tons of weapons and ammunition, food and other materials·····

"Drop, kill a total of 6,000 Japanese soldiers, unlock equipment: M56A1 to 35 times the diameter 105 howitzer, M2 Carl Gustaf recoilless gun."
