I am helping

Chapter 285 It's all blood!
Half a month ago, when Chen Feng gave the deposit, the new regiment expanded to 1800 people.

So Li Yunlong left 2500 sets of cotton padded clothes and 2500 sets of gas masks for the soldiers of the new regiment.

The remaining 7500 sets of cotton coats and 7500 sets of gas masks were all sent to the logistics department by the transport team and cavalry operations.

As a result, this batch of cotton coats and gas masks leaked out shortly after they arrived at the logistics department.

The brigade and regimental commanders, and even the commanders of the military regions all heard the news and asked Minister Zhang for cotton coats and gas masks.

It's just that there are more wolves and less meat. How can a cotton coat and a gas mask be enough?

There were even two brigade commanders who blushed and had thick necks in order to get 500 more gas masks and the logistics department.

At present, there are more than 10 main forces and militiamen in the two base areas in southeast Shanxi, and 7500 sets of gas masks are in short supply.

In the end, the head of the headquarters personally ordered the equal distribution, so all the heads did not dare to run to the logistics department, otherwise the threshold of the logistics department would have been stepped down long ago.

"What the fuck's a blank check?" Li Datuan shrank his hands into his sleeves: "Didn't the labor management ask the transport team and the cavalry battalion to send you 7500 sets of cotton clothes and gas masks each?"

Minister Zhang said in a helpless tone, "Where are these cotton coats and gas masks enough? Do you know how many troops our division has expanded this year? Those brigade commanders and military commanders are fighting for gas masks, and my logistics department is about to fight. "

Leader Li raised his head and said in a disdainful tone, "That's your business, Minister Zhang. By the time this trash gets you gas masks and cotton coats, the soldiers would have been poisoned to death and frozen to death."

Zhang Wanhe asked: "What the hell do you want to do? You don't come here to scold me, do you?"

"I don't have that skill." Li Datuan said, "Hurry up, prepare 3000 sets of new military uniforms immediately, and I will take them away immediately. By the way, I will also take away your 300 military horses."

The purpose of Commander Li's visit to the headquarters this time is for cavalry and new military uniforms.

His cavalry battalion lost a lot in the Xinzhou Basin being chased by the little devil's plane, losing half of the cavalry company.

Now the entire cavalry battalion, including the battalion headquarters, has only more than 250 cavalry.

Although he has been collecting military horses, the horses raised by ordinary people are fine for transportation and carrying supplies, and it is almost meaningless to pull them on the battlefield.

After all, the size and physical strength of the oriental horse is not as good as that of the little devil, and the horses of ordinary people have not received professional training.

The little devil's Dongyang horse can charge against artillery fire and bullet rain without being frightened at all.

Zhang Wanhe was startled, his butt that had just been sitting on the bench jumped up as if hit by a nail, and he said without hesitation, "Guards, see off the guests!"

"What are you doing?" Li Yunlong said with a flat face, "That's not a gold ingot. You, Minister Zhang, can still have cubs if you keep it?"

Zhang Wanhe waved his hand and said, "You're well-informed, kid. I haven't warmed up this batch of military horses myself. It's even more impossible to give you 3000 sets of new military uniforms."

Damn it, this time I don't want grenades, I want labor horses and new military uniforms, there is no way.

If I knew it, I would have pretended not to be there.

This batch of military horses was captured by various troops in the Hundred Regiments War, and they were sent to the logistics department with great difficulty. They were equipped with saddles, sabers, rifles and other equipment.

It can be pulled into the battlefield immediately.

Many main regiment leaders are staring at these army horses. After all, who doesn't want to have a highly mobile cavalry company?
However, Zhang Wanhe took a very close look at this group of soldiers and horses, and kept his mouth shut.

“我给你2万5千套灰呢大衣，你把这300多匹军马给我，我立马给你弄2万5万套棉衣来。”李云龙志在必得。

He had long wanted to form a cavalry regiment. In the past, his strength did not allow him to support so many cavalry.

But now the new regiment has grown, and even the 105mm howitzer is about to have it.

I have guns and guns, and the devils and puppet troops are my granary.

Lack of clothing and food and so on can be found in a county. When Li Datuan heard that Minister Zhang had more than 300 army horses, his mind became active again.

Don't come again when you can't miss the opportunity. After passing this village, there will be no such shop.

"2 sets of gray wool coats?" Minister Zhang's eyes lit up, and then he shook his head: "I can only equip you with horses for one cavalry company at most."

Although the horse equipment of a cavalry company is very precious, 2 sets of gray woolen coats can allow 5 soldiers of the Eighth Route Army to wear winter clothes without freezing.

"Deal!" Captain Li poked his hand and said with a smile, "2 sets of gray woolen coats and a cavalry company, right? Then I can take all 5 army horses away."

"???" Minister Zhang was confused, and jumped up on the spot, "Li Yunlong, what do you mean by that? Robbery? How can you be the head of the regiment?"

Li Datuan said: "You said 2 sets of cotton clothes and 5 cavalry company."

"I'll give you 5 sets of cotton coats and 2 sets of gas masks in exchange for three cavalry companies, that is, one cavalry battalion."

"How about this deal, you, Minister Zhang, don't lose money, do you?"

Minister Zhang was stunned for a moment, doubtful: "What are you talking about, 5 sets of cotton padded clothes, 2 sets of gas masks?"

"Do you think I'm joking with you?" Li Yunlong said angrily, "Just say a word if it's okay, and forget it if it's not."

Minister Zhang suddenly realized that it must be the cotton coat and gas mask that Li Yunlong got from his channel again.

When other people said this, Minister Zhang would definitely think that the other party was bragging, but when it came from Chief Li Datuan's mouth, he firmly believed it.

Leader Li Da can really do it.

According to regulations, this is not seized, and Li Datuan can choose not to hand it over.

If Li Yunlong doesn't hand it in, Minister Zhang really has nothing to do with him.

"Deal!" This time, Minister Zhang answered very simply.

5 sets of gray woolen coats, 2 sets of gas masks, and 5 military horses are not only not a loss, but also a bloody profit.

What's more, these 300 military horses consume 1500 catties of refined grain and more than 3000 catties of fodder every day in the logistics department.

He is having a headache.

It happened to be given to Li Yunlong together, which would save Li Yunlong a headache, and save the other main team leaders from blushing and having thick necks fighting for the more than 300 army horses.

Although Zhang Wanhe is the minister of logistics, he has a lot of power in his hands. To give this batch of military horses to Li Yunlong, he only needs to report to the headquarters.

Li Yunlong took out so many things and handed them over to the logistics department, who would have any objections to the other team leaders?

If you don't accept it, you also took out a lot of cotton clothes and gas masks to solve the problem of the troops wintering and the gas bombs of the little devils.

"Let's go, where are the gray cotton coat and gas mask?" Minister Zhang was already hungry and thirsty.

"How about 3000 new military uniforms?" Li Datuan was not in a hurry.

"3000 sets of new military uniforms?" Minister Zhang waved his hands. "No, not even a single set of new military uniforms. The 1 sets of new military uniforms we discussed just now are not counted in it."

After a pause, Minister Zhang asked in a puzzled tone: "I heard that you just expanded your number to 2000 people not long ago, and you are planning to expand your number to 3000 people. What is it, you boy is going to be a brigade commander?"

"Then don't worry about it." Li Yunlong said, "Our old Li will not take your Minister Zhang's new military uniform for nothing, and exchange it with you for 5 sets of gas masks."

"You actually still have 5 sets of gas masks?" Minister Zhang was surprised, and the fortune made by Chief Li Datuan this time is not small.

"3000 sets of new military uniforms are not that many. As you know, the speed of making new military uniforms by the clothing factory can no longer keep up with the speed of the expansion of the army."

This is true, many soldiers of the main force are still wearing ordinary people's clothes, which is in short supply.

Raw materials such as cloth and cotton are one reason, and the manufacturing process is also another reason.

"Then how many sets of new military uniforms do you have?" Li Yunlong asked.

"I can give you 1500 sets, but the quilt factory only has 1000 sets of finished products now, and the remaining 500 sets will be given to you within two months."

It is profitable to exchange 5000 sets of gas masks for 5000 sets of new military uniforms, but Minister Zhang really has no way to come up with so many new military uniforms all at once.

These 1000 sets of cotton-padded clothes are still going to be distributed to a newly formed regiment.

But it's winter now, anyway, the coat from Li Yunlong is also gray, embroidered with the Eighth Route Army's armbands and cap badges, it can be distributed as a new military uniform.

As for the military uniform worn in summer, you can slowly mend it later.

"Then it's settled." Leader Li nodded.

He knew the situation of the quilt factory, and the clothes were tight in winter, so he really couldn't produce so many new military uniforms.

The two parties happily reached an agreement, and both parties in this wave of transactions felt that they had made a lot of money.

For Minister Zhang, it solved the winter problem of the troops in the southeast Shanxi base area, and greatly eased the problem of the frontline soldiers being helpless in the face of the devil's poisonous gas.

For Li Datuan, the strength of the cavalry battalion has been greatly enhanced, and the militia units that are about to be expanded also have new uniforms.

Those cotton coats and gas masks were supposed to be handed in, so why not exchange them for extra benefits?

Next, Zhang Wanhe arranged for the clothing factory to install 1000 sets of new military uniforms, and Minister Zhang led the logistics transport team to harvest them.

Li Yunlong led the soldiers of the cavalry battalion to Yangcun with 330 horses and 1000 new uniforms.

Sun Desheng looked at the extra 300 or so Dongyang army horses, and laughed until his mouth cramped.

Although our old grandson is a cavalry battalion commander, it won't be long before he can live the life of a cavalry regiment commander.

In addition to saddles and military horses, Li Yunlong didn't need rifles and sabers. The cavalry battalion of the new regiment was equipped with Yunlong swords and Garland semi-automatic rifles.

There is no need for the Type [-] rifles and Type [-] sabers from the logistics department at all, saving hundreds of guns and knives, Minister Zhang is naturally happy.

When Minister Zhang received the goods, Li Yunlong left 1500 sets of gray woolen coats and 1500 sets of gas masks for the recruits who were about to expand the county brigade.

Minister Zhang didn't say anything, anyway, the Xinyi regiment is the ace regiment, and when the Xinyi regiment expands, he has to give priority to supply.

He also directly asked Li Yunlong to keep some, so as to save the trouble of transporting it back and forth when he got it.

After finishing this matter, Captain Li asked the logistics transportation team to pack 30 rounds of ammunition and 2 grenades, and he had to send them to the brigade headquarters in person.

This was promised to the brigade commander before.

By the way, let the brigade commander ask for instructions on the mortar and smokeless gunpowder production line equipment and raw materials given by Brother Chen, and see if the headquarters can agree to air drop them directly to the Huangyadong Arsenal.

……

(It was greatly criticized by the readers, and the author thought about it carefully. Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang leaked the location of the arsenal without the consent of their superiors. This plot was ill-considered, so the plot was slightly changed. Li Yunlong asked his superiors first, and the headquarters agreed Equipment and raw materials are dropped from the arsenal.)
