Chapter 198 Semi-automatic Rifle!
Li Yunlong only thought for a moment, then blurted out.

"Of course it's Chen Dagu, the commander of the third battalion. This kid is well-informed by me, and he's good at dealing with devils and traitors."

Chen Dugu is better than the blue because he is better than the blue. He doesn't care about the airs of the regular army at all. He is thinking about tricks to deal with devils and traitors every day when he eats and sleeps.

Such a person is most suitable to lead the county brigade.

"Will he agree?" Zhao Gang worried. "After all, it's too big a gap to be transferred from the battalion commander of the regular army to the captain of the county brigade."

"What do you, political commissar, do?" Li Yunlong said, "Are you afraid that he can't even do his ideological work well?"

Zhao Gang said: "I'm mainly afraid that if he doesn't say anything, he will feel uncomfortable."

Li Yunlong said: "All right, then leave it to me."

"The commander of the third battalion has been transferred away." Zhao Gang asked again, "Who are you planning to let take charge of the third battalion?"

"Let Xu Yonghai take over as the commander of the third battalion." Li Yunlong lit a cigarette and said, "Little Xu's combat achievements and qualifications are enough to be promoted to the commander of the battalion."

Zhao Gang nodded and had no objection to this decision.

Xu Yonghai has indeed made great military exploits, from the bloody battle against Cangyun Ridge, the raid on Wanjia Town... to the attack on Yangquan, Xu Yonghai and his assault company played an important role in every battle.

At this time, Fang Lei walked in with a telegram in her hand, and gave a military salute: "Report to the head of the regiment, the political commissar, and the brigade headquarter sends an urgent message!"

"Give it to me." Zhao Gang took the telegram from her, nodded and said, "Thank you."

"It's not hard." Fang Lei smiled, then turned and walked towards the telegraph.

After scanning the telegram at a glance, Zhao Gang said: "Old Li, the brigade headquarters ordered our regiment to support the 385th Brigade in the Yuci area to stop the Japanese 9th Brigade from Taiyuan. The brigade commander also said that this is the general ordered by the boss himself."

"Boss is so accurate!" Laughing, Li Yunlong shouted out, "Guards!"

"Here!" Huang Erhu ran in from the door, standing upright.

Li Yunlong looked serious: "Pass my order, the whole group gathers!"

"Yes!" Huang Erhu turned around and ran out.

At the moment Li Yunlong quickly assembled the whole regiment and drove west along Zhengtai Road.

At this time, five days had passed since the Eighth Route Army launched the Zhengtai Campaign. The Xinyi Regiment was fighting for the first two days, and basically destroyed railways, railway stations, and military depots for the next few days.

There is enough rest and sleep time every night, coupled with ample food, the commanders and fighters of the new regiment are not tired.

The 9th Brigade assembled a strengthened regiment of troops, and under the leadership of Major General Ogō Toranosuke, set off from Taiyuan to counterattack the Zhengtai Railway.

Not all troops have such strong equipment and combat effectiveness as Xinyituan.

However, the 385th Brigade did not entangle with the 9th Brigade head-on, and adopted tactics such as sparrow warfare and mine warfare to deal with the enemy.

When the new regiment arrived, the brigade commander of the 385th brigade concentrated his forces to push back.

When the Japanese army lost its air superiority, the artillery of the Eighth Route Army could be used with confidence.

This battle is also the first appearance of Master Liu's artillery regiment. In the previous battles, most of the cannons were not shown, and they were used as strategic killers.

The Artillery Regiment of the 129th Division and the Shanpao Battalion of the New Regiment concentrated their artillery fire, directly suppressing the devil's artillery fire.

The devils of the 9th Brigade were blown away on the spot.

If it weren't for the order to retreat quickly, these devils would have been made dumplings by the Eighth Route Army.

The 385th Brigade plus the main force of the new regiment plus a large number of militias, a total of 30,000 people, it is difficult to eat the entire Ninth Brigade, but it is not a big problem to eat half of the Ninth Brigade.

In the next few days, the devils mobilized troops from various places and frequently added troops to the Zhengtai Railway.

Moreover, the headquarters also received that the 37th Division of the Japanese Army was already on its way north, and the 36th and 41st Divisions were also preparing to aid the Zhengtai Railway in the north.

The 9th Brigade of the Japanese Army regrouped and prepared to counterattack. In the Meng County area, the devils assembled more than 2000 people and were ready to respond from north to south at any time.

So the headquarters ordered the end of the Zhengtai campaign.

Li Yunlong also received an order to retreat.

First go back to the base area for a small rest, and then take advantage of the favorable opportunity when the Japanese army cannot transfer troops after the destruction of Zhengtai Road, and start the combat mission of the second step plan.

As soon as he returned to Yangcun, Li Yunlong turned on the radio and called his brother Chen Feng, whom he had been thinking about day and night.

"Boss Li called Boss Chen, please answer if you hear it, please answer if you hear it."

In the inner room of the regiment headquarters, Li Yunlong held the microphone in one hand and the receiver in the other, put the microphone to his mouth and called.

After a while, Chen Feng's voice rang in Li Yunlong's ear: "Boss Chen received it, Boss Li is well."

"Thanks to Boss Chen, Li has been fine recently." Li Yunlong asked, "Boss Chen, are you okay?"

"Chen is also okay." Chen Feng said.

Li Yunlong said quickly: "The situation is like this. Boss Chen, I have already completed the business you entrusted to me. Shouldn't the final payment be settled?"

"The final payment is easy to discuss." Chen Feng said, "We will meet at the old place tomorrow."

Li Yunlong was overjoyed: "Then Li is waiting for the good news."

After finishing speaking, Li Yunlong turned off the call and put the radio away.

After a while, the brigade commander made a special phone call to praise Li Yunlong, praised him for fighting a good battle, and asked Li Yunlong not to stab anyone.

And asked Li Yunlong to take the Sword Squadron and Shanpao Battalion to the brigade headquarters tonight, and the brigade commander wanted to celebrate Li Yunlong and the soldiers.

Li Yunlong would naturally not refuse the brigade commander's invitation to drink.

Immediately afterwards, the teacher and the boss also called to praise Li Yunlong.

Among the 105 regiment leaders who participated in the battle this time, only Li Yunlong received this treatment, which made Li Yunlong a little flattered.

The teacher and the boss did not tell Li Yunlong not to cause trouble.

They knew that Zhao Gang had subdued Li Yunlong, a stubborn donkey.

With Zhao Gang around, Li Yunlong couldn't poke much trouble.

In fact, in the original play, Li Yunlong made troubles, such as arbitrarily mobilizing troops to attack Ping'an County, attacking Heiyun Village, and the division commander took the lead in interspersing, etc., because Zhao Gang was not by his side.

That night Li Yunlong took the Sword Squadron and Shanpao Battalion to the brigade headquarters to attend the celebration banquet.

Then he led the team back that night.

Early the next morning.

Li Yunlong finished his breakfast.

Just wait with Zhao Gang at the entrance of Yangcun Village.

It was not until noon that the two heard the roar of the engines of the fleet.

Immediately, Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang hurriedly led the transport team and cavalry battalion to the old place to receive the goods.

As soon as he arrived at the old place, Li Yunlong saw the airdrops all over the ground, and couldn't help but feel secretly refreshed.

But on his face, he pretended to be an old god, and walked towards Chen Feng, with a smile on his face, he cupped his hands and said: "Come on, brother, you have worked hard."

"I don't work hard." Chen Feng clasped his hands, "Brother, you worked vigorously with the devils on the Zhengtai Railway, that's the real hard work."

Chen Feng did not expect Li Yunlong to achieve such a dazzling record in the Hundred Regiments Battle.

According to history, the Hundred Regiments Campaign has only completed the first phase of operations, and there are still the second and third phases of operations.

Chen Feng was looking forward to it. In the next battle, can Commander Li lead the new regiment to create another miracle?
"Defending the family and the country is the duty of a soldier." Li Yunlong said with a smile, "It's so hard to talk about."

Chen Feng looked at the airdrop box and said straight to the point: "My brother led his troops to wipe out the headquarters of the Japanese Fourth Brigade. These are all goods after the incident is completed. There are a total of 2300 semi-automatic rifles, all of which are American goods, and 100 of them are from the United States. Semi-automatic sniper rifle with scope."

At present, Chen Feng's authority can only purchase semi-automatic rifles from the World War II period. For example, the domestically produced Type 56 semi-automatic rifles after World War II cannot be purchased for the time being.

Otherwise, he would directly buy the domestic Type 56 to equip the new regiment.

During World War II, the M1 Garand semi-automatic rifle, the Czech semi-automatic rifle, the Gew-43 semi-automatic rifle and the SVT-40 semi-automatic rifle were among these semi-automatic rifles.

I chose the most cost-effective M1 Garand.

As a time traveler, Chen Feng knew.In the Pacific islands, Southeast Asian jungles, African deserts, and European battlefields, the M1 Garand rifle has performed well on most battlefields of World War II and is recognized as the best rifle in World War II.

The new regiment of soldiers equipped with M1 Garand rifles can form absolute suppression against Japanese soldiers in terms of individual firepower.

After that, Chen Feng also planned to equip the new regiment with American Browning automatic rifles.

Chen Feng smiled and said, "7.62 rounds of 50mm rifle ammunition, and another 50 rounds of rifle ammunition of this caliber will be delivered tomorrow."

Semi-automatic rifles are better than bolt-action rifles, but also consume bullets faster than bolt-action rifles.

50 rounds of bullets may seem like a lot, but evenly distributed to each semi-automatic rifle, there are only more than 200 rounds.

Even if the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army are not willing to open fire to save bullets, more than 200 rounds of bullets will not last long. What's more, Chen Feng gave this rifle to the Eighth Route Army to let the soldiers suppress the firepower of the devils. Gun, then it might as well give 98k or Mosin Nagant.

Hearing this, Li Yunlong had a standard smile like an old farmer on his face: "Haha... Then thank you, brother."

2300 new semi-automatic rifles, 100 million rounds of ammunition, haha, get rich!
Beside Li Yunlong, Zhao Gang was like a spring breeze, smiling all over his face.

"Business, thank you and I'll see you." Chen Feng said, "These are what your department deserves. Have you brought the list of ammunition consumption? I will also reimburse you."

Li Yunlong looked at Zhao Gang, and Zhao Gang took out a written list from his pocket knowingly: "This is the list of ammunition consumption. Brother Chen Feng has a look at it."

Chen Feng took it over and saw that the ammunition was consumed a lot. The two base 75mm shells were almost used up, and all kinds of bullets, grenades and machine shells were consumed a lot.

It is estimated that Li Yunlong's property is almost bottomed out.

But this is enough to show that Xinyituan's recent battles have not been watered.

"By the way, brother." Li Yunlong said again, "In this battle, I also hugged grass and beat rabbits. By the way, I took down Yangquan City and Shouyang County, and also blew up the Japanese army's Xincheng Airport in Taiyuan, destroying a total of 21 Devil planes. Counting 20 cannons in the county town, 40 cannons in important military towns, and 1 mountain cannons for killing one plane, brother, you still have to pay me 3 cannons, 63 cannons, and two bases of ammunition.”
