I am helping

Chapter 201 The brigade commander is ecstatic!

Li Yunlong got off his horse and stepped into the gate of the brigade, shouting: "Brigade Commander, congratulations, old Li, on your fortune!"

Many cadres around the brigade headquarters were familiar with Li Yunlong's voice, and they all ran out to watch.

The first to greet them were Deputy Brigadier Han and Chief of Staff Zhou.

When the two saw Li Yunlong, they both showed amiable and cordial smiles on their faces.

Now Li Yunlong is the God of Wealth of the 386th Brigade, and has handed over the weapons and equipment of at least five infantry regiments, one artillery regiment, and one cavalry battalion.

Li Yunlong handed over 200 million rounds of ammunition, more than 200 million catties of grain, and more than [-] guns after the last attack on Yangquan.

These more than [-] guns alone can equip three infantry regiments, and they are all the main regiments. If it is a basic regiment, it can equip six basic regiments!
Because the backbone regiment of the Eighth Route Army has more than 500 guns, a few hundred people is enough.

However, because the 386 brigade is full of elite troops from top to bottom, although the independent regiment, the new first regiment and the new second regiment were only basic regiments at the beginning.

But now they have grown to the size and combat effectiveness of the main force.

Of course, Li Yunlong contributed the most to this. The weapons and equipment he handed over enhanced the overall combat effectiveness of the 386th Brigade.

Not only did the soldiers of the 386th brigade have a gun in hand, but also had sufficient ammunition in a short period of time, and the artillery firepower was powerful.

The Xinyi Regiment fought beautifully in the battles of Yangquan, Shouyang, and bombarding the Japanese airport, which made the entire 386 brigade headquartered.

When Deputy Brigadier Han and Chief of Staff Zhou saw Li Yunlong coming to the brigade headquarters, they naturally welcomed him warmly.

"Isn't this Captain Li?"

"You kid brought hundreds of people to the brigade to eat and drink the day before yesterday, and they made the brigade poor."

"What's the matter, today I just said congratulations to the Brigadier Commander for getting rich, just want to ask for a drink?"

It was Deputy Brigadier Han who spoke. He folded his arms, looked at Li Yunlong with a smile, and his tone was a little joking.

"How is it possible?" Li Yunlong said: "The last time I captured Yangquan, I handed over 200 million catties of food to the brigade department, and the brigade department is so rich now, how can I make hundreds of people poor for the brigade department? "

"Your hair is better than a monkey." Chief of Staff Zhou said with a smile, "Why are you here at the brigade headquarters?"

"I brought some presents for the Brigadier."

"Where is the Brigadier, is the Brigadier there?"

Li Yunlong stood on tiptoe slightly, looked into the brigade, and saw the brigade commander stepping out of the brigade, he quickly put away his idle expression.

The brigade commander coughed lightly: "I'm here..."

"What gift?" The brigade commander laughed, "Did you get a good gun, quick, show me?"

"It's not a gun. What's a gun?" Li Yunlong put it off on purpose, "Brigade Commander, take a guess and see what gift our old Li brought you?"

The brigade commander stepped past Li Yunlong, took a look outside the brigade headquarters courtyard, and said in a puzzled tone, "It's not a gun, what is that? Could it be the Japanese army horse you're riding?"

Li Yunlong's transport team was on their way, and they could only be seen at the entrance of the village, not in front of the brigade headquarters.

Chief of Staff Zhou and Deputy Brigadier Commander Han came to the door and looked at Li Yunlong's army horse. They had to say that the horse Li Yunlong was riding looked fat and strong, with a white body all over. It was a rare oriental horse. steed.

Li Yunlong smiled awkwardly: "Brigadier, can you guess again?"

"Do you like to talk or not." The brigade commander walked towards the inner room of the brigade with his hands behind his back, "Don't talk, I don't want your gift anymore."

"Brigade Commander, is that what you said?" Li Yunlong was very happy, and joked, "This gift from the Mountain Artillery Regiment, if you don't want it, you don't want it, Brigadier Commander, you are so generous."

"Li Yunlong, what are you talking about, a mountain artillery regiment?" The brigade commander suddenly turned around, short of breath: "Where is the mountain artillery regiment?"

Chief of Staff Zhou and Deputy Brigadier Commander Han also stared at Li Yunlong with their eyes wide open.

"It's at the back, and it will be there in about 5 minutes." Li Yunlong grinned, "I'll go ahead and come early to congratulate the brigade commander on your fortune."

"You kid, don't lie to me." The brigade commander said, "If there is no mountain artillery regiment, let's see how I will deal with you."

"My big brigade commander, I dare not lie to you, brigade commander." Li Yunlong smiled unbearably, he got up and walked outside, "Let's go and see your mountain artillery regiment."

Seeing Li Yunlong's invitation gesture, the brigade commander narrowed his eyes, and followed Li Yunlong out.

Deputy Brigadier Han and Chief of Staff Zhou hurriedly followed, followed by the brigade's operational staff, and even the brigade's cooking team joined in the fun.

At this time, part of Li Yunlong's transport team had already arrived at the grain drying field. It was the 36 assembled American 36mm mountain guns pulled by 75 mules.

This mountain cannon weighs only 1300 kilograms and has rubber tires. It can be pulled by a mule on a not-so-steep mountain road, and the road to the brigade headquarters is easy for Xinyituan.

The most difficult thing to transport is actually the artillery shells. This 75mm mountain artillery shell weighs 8 kilograms. One shell box holds 3 shells, and a mountain artillery regiment has more than 3 shell boxes in three bases.

Li Yunlong dispatched all the mules, horses, logistics transport team, cavalry battalion and first battalion of the new regiment to barely transport more than [-] shell boxes.

The soldiers were untying the traction rope from the mule, and then several soldiers pushed the cannon to the center of the grain drying field together.

This situation attracted many brigade staff and ordinary people in the village to stop and watch.

The 36 M175mm mountain guns were quickly arranged in four rows, standing there like neatly arranged steel beasts.

Li Yunlong slapped the cannon barrels with his palms, and the corners of his mouth curled up, and his tone was also triumphant: "Brigade Commander, a mountain cannon regiment has 36 mountain cannons. If you don't want this gift, then I will let the soldiers take it back. Just let me make a mountain cannon brigade."

The eyes of the brigade staff and common people around were wide open. They had never seen so many mountain cannons before, and there was a sudden commotion.

Deputy Brigadier Han and Chief of Staff Zhou immediately understood that this batch of mountain cannons must be the same as last time, coming from the mysterious patriotic person surnamed Chen.

But this time Li Yunlong received a bit too much mountain cannon assistance?

Last time there were only 24 mountain cannons in two battalions. Although I don’t know how many mountain cannons Li Yunlong got, but he took the initiative to hand over a mountain cannon regiment to the brigade headquarters, which is enough to show that the number of mountain cannons received this time was at least 60. And judging from Li Yunlong's tone, I am afraid that there is really a mountain artillery brigade.

The brigade commander did not speak for a while, but stared straight at the 36 mountain cannons in front of him.

After a while, the brigade commander spoke with an excited trill: "What about the shells, are they still two bases?"

"Two bases, petty." Li Yunlong said, "A total of three bases are on the way to be shipped, and they should be here soon!"

1门山炮炮弹1个基数炮弹是100发，3个基数300发，36乘以300那就是1万多发。

The Brigadier did a quick mental calculation.

Although the brigade commander came from the Whampoa Military Academy and was well-informed, whether it was the Red Army period or the current Eighth Route Army, he has always tightened his belt to live.

This is really a fortune!
The Brigadier was ecstatic.

"You're so active, boy." The brigade commander smiled, suppressing the excitement in his heart, "I'm sure you didn't hold back your fart, so hurry up and ask for anything."

The brigade commander doesn't have many other things, but there are many militiamen. He is also the commander of the Taiyue Military Region. This time the Taiyue Military Region has more than [-] militiamen participating in the Zhengtai Battle.

Of course, most of the militiamen did not have guns, and very few participated in the battle. Their main tasks were to serve as logistics and scrape railroad tracks.

With a smile on his lips, Li Yunlong said, "Haha, the brigade commander, you know me well. The recruits from the teaching regiment will bring me [-] recruits, and the company platoon officers will bring me dozens."

After comparing the militia, self-recruited recruits and recruits from the teaching regiment, Li Yunlong still feels that the recruits from the teaching regiment are good.

Because those who can enter the teaching group are basically of good quality, and most of them were originally militiamen.

When these recruits joined the main force of the Eighth Route Army, the villagers in the village beat gongs and drums all the way to see them off. Many people who wanted to join the main force of the Eighth Route Army were not selected.

They all have a sense of honor, and it would be a shame if they were dismissed and sent back to the local area if they did not do well in the main force of the Eighth Route Army.

The brigade commander waved his hand and said: "The teaching regiment is not under my control. If you want to teach the recruits of the regiment, you can go to the division commander and the boss. As for the platoon-level officers, I don't have any here."

In fact, Li Yunlong had guessed this result a long time ago. He didn't plan to ask the brigade commander for recruits and company-level cadres from the teaching regiment.

Li Yunlong said: "Brigade Commander, there are no recruits from the teaching regiment and officers at the company platoon level. The militiamen of your Taiyue Military Region will give me two or three thousand people. Isn't it too much?"

"Two or three thousand people?" The brigade commander said, "See if you can. If you want to be a brigade commander, you can't do it. Why don't you give me the position of brigade commander?"

"Brigade Commander, you're being unreasonable." Li Yunlong said, "I've handed over a mountain artillery regiment with tens of thousands of shells, so it's reasonable to ask the militia to supplement the troops?"

"Deputy Brigadier Han, Chief of Staff Zhou, it's reasonable for you two chiefs to come to judge the case?"

"Li Yunlong." Deputy Brigadier Han said, "Our brigade headquarters also has difficulties. We can't give you two or three thousand militiamen, but we can still give you one thousand militiamen."

The brigade commander said: "At most one thousand militiamen, there are not many, if you want to expand the army, figure out a way for yourself, don't bother me with these things."

"One thousand militiamen are fine, it's better than nothing." Li Yunlong said, "I want to apply for the number and establishment of a county brigade for our new regiment. Isn't this condition too much?"

Although the Eighth Route Army has developed rapidly and has expanded to more than 100 regiments in just three years, the regiment-level organization and designation are not given casually.

The organization and designation are limited, so the competition is fierce. For example, the expansion of the county brigade into a regiment-level designation and organization must achieve a sufficiently impressive record.

However, the record of the new regiment is impressive enough, and it is only the organization and number of a county brigade, which is nothing to the brigade commander.

The brigade commander said without much thought: "The county brigade, yes, yes, I agree."

"Any other conditions?"

"I only have one condition left." Li Yunlong said, "Brigade Commander, you have to treat me to a drink."

"Drinking is fine." The brigade commander said, "But you have to tell me honestly, how many mountain cannons do you have?"
