I am helping

Three days after the end of the anti-mopping operation.

Yang Village.

The new regiment.

"The seizure and loss of weapons and ammunition have been counted."

In the inner room of the regiment headquarters, Zhao Gang smiled all over his face:

"This time we fought in the Taihang column and captured more than 8000 rifles, more than 400 machine guns, more than 250 million bullets, and more than 3 grenades."

"There are 5 mountain artillery pieces, 7 infantry artillery pieces, 11 mortar pieces, and even more grenade launchers, with more than 4 shells."

"In addition, the mountain artillery blown up by our artillery in Changzhi, and the wreckage of the mountain artillery blown up by our cavalry, were transported to the arsenal."

"It is estimated that a few can be repaired, and those that cannot be repaired will not be wasted. They can be used as gun steel for mortars, let alone hundreds of more mortars."

Although more than 2.5 Japanese soldiers were killed, thousands of puppet troops were also killed.

However, there were not many guns and ammunition seized, much less than expected.

This is mainly due to the killing of the 2nd Guards Division of the Japanese Army. Even though more than 3 devils in three regiments were killed, only a few hundred guns were seized.

The 5th Wing was first carpet-bombed by aerial bombs, and then burned again by napalm bombs. Even the barrels and barrels were melted into molten iron, not to mention bullets, grenades and other equipment.

A wave of aerial bombs and napalm bombs were thrown down, killing a regiment of devils and destroying their weapons and equipment.

The bombardment of the 300rd and 3th Wings with more than 4 artillery pieces, including devils and weapons, were all washed away by shells.

More than 4 shells were thrown on the heads of more than 7000 devils, and each devil could share 6 shells on average.

In this kind of intensive shell washing, coupled with the broken guns in hand-to-hand combat, not many weapons and ammunition were seized.

"Also, the grain that was not received from the traitors in the three counties of Changzhi, Xiangyuan, and Licheng exceeded 100 million catties."

In addition to food, there are oceans, gold bars and some banknotes. As for the traitors who gave their lives to the devils, they were also punished as they should.

"How much ammunition does the weapon consume?"

Li Yunlong asked.

"The main reason is that the ammunition is consumed a lot!"

Zhao Gang continued: "More than 2000 guns of various types were damaged, 5 mountain guns were blown up by the devil's plane, 3 howitzers were blown up, more than 310 million rounds of bullets were consumed, more than 6 rounds of shells were consumed, and more than 3 grenades were consumed."

Li Yunlong heard the words, his eyes were full of thought, and he calculated carefully.

The seized weapons and ammunition minus the consumed weapons and ammunition, except for the guns are profitable, the grenades are equal, and the consumption of bullets and shells is a loss-making business.

This is the cost of launching a major battle. If it weren't for the air support and the large number of shells prepared, the consumption of bullets and grenades would have doubled.

Therefore, it's not that the Eighth Route Army doesn't want to fight a big battle, but that it really can't afford it.

Without any supplies of ammunition, weapons and medicines, all surrounding areas were blocked by the Japanese army, and a hundred-regiment battle would cause the Eighth Route Army to fall into a period of weakness.

If there is no ammunition reimbursement right now, the headquarters will not let Li Yunlong fight this battle.

However, with the reimbursement of ammunition, the seized weapons and ammunition are purely profitable, and there is also a business to earn, that is the big deal.

"How many casualties and wiped out?" …

Li Yunlong asked again.

Zhao Gang continued: "Our Taihang Column suffered a total of more than 6000 casualties and killed more than 2 Japanese soldiers!"

"There were more than 1200 casualties on the first day, more than 4700 casualties in the street fighting, and more than 400 casualties in the fighting back to the arsenal."

After a pause, Zhao Gang said with emotion: "Street fighting is really a cruel battle. If it was in the wild, we would have greatly reduced casualties by virtue of our superior military strength and firepower."

"Well, street fighting is indeed difficult!"

Li Yunlong said solemnly: "Street fighting has greatly limited our advantages in numbers and equipment, and brought the two sides back to the same level. The ratio of casualties between the two sides is almost one to one."

"However..." Li Yunlong's tone suddenly improved: "Sooner or later we will have to fight street fighting with devils, which is unavoidable. After this battle, our troops' experience in street fighting will be qualitatively improved!"

"Yes!" Zhao Gang agreed in a tone of voice, "After this street fighting, all ministries will sum up their combat experience. Actual combat is the best training!"

"We have reimbursement for weapons and ammunition. This time, the troops participating in our Taihang column will be replenished soon, and their combat effectiveness will be stronger than before."

The county brigade of the Xinyi Regiment also suffered nearly 600 casualties in the street fighting, and the main infantry battalions combined had less than 100 casualties.

The three main infantry battalions are the trump cards in Li Yunlong's hands. It is a great waste and irresponsible to let such elites go to fight in the street and exchange one with the devils.

After a pause, Zhao Gang changed the subject and said, "By the way, didn't you want to allocate 6 mountain cannons and 50 tons of weapons and ammunition to the one who takes down the county first?"

According to what was agreed in advance, among the three attacking groups, whoever first attacked the county and wiped out the devils in the county would be rewarded by Li Yunlong with 3 mountain cannons and 6 tons of weapons and ammunition.

But because of the change of the battle plan, only the devils in Changzhi were wiped out, and the devils in Xiangyuan and Licheng were not wiped out.

"Give them three 2 75mm mountain cannons, 3 base shells, and 30 tons of weapons and ammunition!"

Regarding the rewards for Ding Wei, Cheng Shifa and Kong Jie, Li Yunlong responded straightforwardly:
"Unfortunately, this battle failed to shoot down a Devil plane, but killed two squadrons of Devil tanks, which together have a trading price of 12 mountain cannons."

According to the price that Li Yunlong had negotiated with Chen Feng before, to kill 12 Devil tanks, that is, 1 squadron of Devil tanks, the transaction price was 6 mountain cannons.

Just like shooting down devil planes and killing devil pilots, it is effective for a long time.

The 37th Division of the Japanese Army and the 2nd Guards Division each had a tank squadron, and they were all killed in the battle.

"That's fine, Captain Kong shouldn't have any objections." Zhao Gang nodded and said.

Li Yunlong said: "Okay, since the consumption and the number of enemies wiped out have been counted, I will notify Brother Chen Feng."

While speaking, Li Yunlong walked towards the cabinet, took out the battery of the radio, adjusted the channel and wavelength, and turned on the call:

"Hey, Boss Li is calling Boss Chen, and Boss Li is calling Boss Chen."

At the beginning, it was Yan Shuangying who was connecting the wires. After a while, Chen Feng's voice rang in Li Yunlong's ears: "Boss Li, please come and be safe."

"Boss Chen, Gong Xi Fa Cai!" Li Yunlong smiled and said, "I have finished the work here, and I would like to ask Boss Chen to settle my wages." …

"No problem!" Chen Feng said, "I'll go to your residence to settle the accounts first."

Li Yunlong said casually: "Then Li will be waiting at home for Boss Chen to visit."

After hanging up the call, Li Yunlong grinned high, and shouted out: "Tiger!"

Huang Erhu trotted in and straightened his body: "Here!"

Li Yunlong: "Go and ask the cooking class to prepare some hard dishes, I want to entertain distinguished guests."

"Yes!" Huang Erhu turned and left.

After watching Huang Erhu leave, Li Yunlong said to Zhao Gang: "Old Zhao, you have counted well. Let's add up the total again. Is there anything missing..."

……

About two hours later, Chen Feng brought Yan Shuangying to Yang Village.

Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang took the time to greet each other at the entrance of the village.

After the two sides exchanged pleasantries, Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang welcomed Chen Feng into the inner room of the regiment headquarters.

As soon as he entered the inner room of the regiment headquarters, Chen Feng saw that the kang table was full of good wine and food.

He was not polite, and sat cross-legged on the kang, and the three of them pushed and changed glasses, but Li Yunlong still drank water, and the one-year abstinence from alcohol had not yet come.

"Brother Li, Brother Zhao, your anti-sweeping campaign was really good this time. You almost wiped out two Japanese divisions and the notorious 2th Regiment of the Japanese Army!"

This time it was really beyond Chen Feng's expectations, Li Yunlong was able to achieve such a great result this time.

In his opinion, it is the current limit of the Eighth Route Army to severely damage one Japanese division. He did not expect to severely damage two divisions at once.

It seems that the Eighth Route Army with its weapons and equipment is really strong in combat effectiveness!

"Brother Chen praises me, it's just two devil divisions and one devil alliance, nothing to worry about."

Li Yunlong laughed.

"We didn't kill the 36th Regiment of this little devil. Brother Chen, don't misunderstand, we businessmen have figured it out."

Zhao Gang added something and said.

Chen Feng nodded: "Doing business with brother Zhao is open, have you counted the consumption of weapons and ammunition?"

Isn't your old brother Li open about his business? Li Yunlong had a resentment on his face, but he didn't dare to say anything.

"The statistics have been calculated, otherwise I wouldn't have asked Brother Chen to settle the wages. Please see."

Li Yunlong handed the list to Chen Feng.

Chen Feng took a look at the list of weapons and ammunition, and it was still the same as that reported by the system, indicating that Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang hadn't tampered with it.

Li Yunlong added: "When these two divisions were hit hard, they also wiped out more than 2 tanks. Counting two tank squadrons, they had 20 12mm mountain guns according to the price."

"Okay!" Chen Feng had no objection, and added to Li Yunlong, "This time, two Japanese army divisions were severely damaged, which can be regarded as a record for our business. Let's replace these 2 12 mountain guns with 75 howitzers. The account of the communication equipment that was credited for the second time can also be settled."

"Then thank you, Brother Chen!" Li Yunlong was delighted.

A howitzer battalion is much more fragrant than a mountain artillery battalion!

"Thank you, Brother Chen!" Zhao Gang also expressed gratitude.

Putting down the list, Chen Feng said again: "The reimbursement of weapons and ammunition is still the same, I will add a little more to round up."

“重创日军第37师团和近卫第2师团，按照1个师团1千吨武器弹药和1千吨粮食计算，价格是2千吨武器弹药和2千吨粮食。”

“另外，击毙日军第37师团长平田健吉的价格是…1个105榴弹炮营，以及完整的九二式70毫米步兵炮和70毫米炮弹生产线。”

After speaking, the eyes of Chief Li and Political Commissar Zhao gradually lit up, like four light bulbs.

This battle was well worth it!
The corner of Li Yunlong's mouth is even more grinning, like an old farmer who is about to harvest a good harvest.
