Chapter 719 Business and New Weapon Test Firing!
After the meeting, Chief of Staff Wang Dehou drafted three telegrams.

A telegram was sent to the headquarters, telling the head of the headquarters to prepare 400 ground crews, 50 radar students and 50 pilot students.

The other two telegrams were similar and were sent to the New Second Regiment and the Independent Regiment.

……

Southeast Shanxi.

Liao County.

Headquarters.

"Report to the chief, a new telegram!"

A telegraph operator held the telegram in his left hand, and saluted the chief with a snap of his right hand.

"give me."

The chief of staff took the telegram from the telegrapher and read it, and the telegrapher turned and walked away quickly.

"What did Li Yunlong say in the telegram?"

Seeing the chief of staff looking at the telegram, the chief asked with a look of expectation on his face.

Every time Li Yunlong sends a telegram, it is basically a good thing, which makes the chief look forward to Xinyituan's telegram even more.

After reading the telegram, the chief of staff smiled slightly:
"Li Yunlong asked us to prepare 400 ground crew cadets, 50 radar cadets, and 50 flight cadets. When we are ready, we will call back the new group, and then Li Yunlong will inform Boss Chen to arrange a transport plane to pick up people at Yangcun Airport. Get rid of part of Kosao's business."

"Oh?" The chief's eyes lit up slightly, "I thought that in the future, we would not have the opportunity to send students to study in overseas military bases, and here we are."

The chief of staff said: "It is a rare opportunity to send students to overseas military bases to study. We must seize it and send excellent people there."

"Hmm!" said the chief, "It seems that we have to ask YA for support."

The chief of staff said: "It's time for YA to build an airport. After we have planes, it will be much more convenient to travel."

"Another point."

The chief said: "Didn't Li Yunlong say that he wants to earn money for oil mining equipment? After the Yanchang Oilfield is developed and has production capacity, part of our fuel supply can be transported by transport planes."

The chief of staff nodded.

At present, the Eighth Route Army in Southeast Shanxi has more than 600 vehicles, and [-] to [-] tanks and armored vehicles. In the future, it will also be equipped with aircraft.

In the future, the Eighth Route Army will have a relatively large demand for fuel.

Although Boss Chen provided some fuel, the Eighth Route Army in Southeast Shanxi did not have much fuel reserves. At present, Boss Chen only reimbursed the new regiment for fuel, and replenished as much as he used.

The Eighth Route Army still needs a stable logistical fuel supply channel.

"Okay, I'll send a telegram to YA right now," said the chief of staff.

……

Northwest Shanxi.

New Second Regiment Headquarters.

"25 75mm American mountain guns, for 3000 recruits who have completed recruit training?"

After reading the telegram from Li Yunlong, Ding Wei fell into deep thought.

It seems that this kid Li Yunlong has made a fortune again, and Ding Wei showed a hint of envy on his face.

Although now the New Second Regiment can do business in partnership with the New First Regiment, and most of the weapons and ammunition earned from the business belong to the New Second Regiment.

But all the devils in the new second regiment's defense area were killed by Ding Wei's troops, even if Ding Wei wanted to do business, he couldn't do it.

The last time Li Yunlong ordered the invention of a code telegram, the New Second Regiment also received it and conveyed it to the commanders and fighters of the whole regiment.

Ding Wei also personally called on the whole regiment of the New Second Regiment to learn from the New First Regiment.

"Head Li is really rich. He has 25 American 75mm mountain guns." Xu Shansheng, the political commissar of the New Second Regiment, said with emotion, and then asked Ding Weidao, "Shall we change it?"

Ding Wei's tone was firm: "Change, recruit number 3000 will change to 25 mountain cannons, and a fool would not change them."

The New Second Regiment was the same as the Independent Regiment. Basically all the mountain cannons in their hands came from the New First Regiment, and only a few mountain cannons were seized from the devils.

Now the mountain cannon business can only be obtained by destroying the devil's plane, destroying or capturing the devil's mountain cannon.

The devils were equipped with fewer mountain cannons, and the devils' planes were even more difficult to destroy. Therefore, the independent regiment and the new second regiment basically couldn't make money from the mountain cannons by doing business on their own.

"But the number 3000 recruits, is it too many?" Xu Shansheng hesitated, "Our recruits are all recruited from the militia. .”

Ding Wei said unhappily: "We can recruit more recruits if we don't have any more recruits. There are tens of thousands of young men and tens of thousands of militiamen in our defense area. Everyone is so enthusiastic about joining the army. Are you afraid that there will be no recruits?"

"I dare to bet you that Li Yunlong must also use 25 mountain cannons to replace the No. 3000 recruits from Kong Jie."

"If we don't agree, Kong Jie is definitely willing to take out No. 6000 recruits and exchange them for 50 75mm mountain guns."

"As soon as these 25 mountain artillery are in place, we can expand another mountain artillery battalion. By then, our regiment will have the firepower of mountain artillery of two artillery regiments."

"Combined with the mortars equipped by each battalion and the mortar battalion, the artillery firepower of our regiment may be comparable to that of an artillery division."

Although the establishment of the Shanpao Battalion is a battalion, it is already the size of an artillery regiment.

Two mountain artillery regiments are equivalent to one mountain artillery brigade, plus a mortar battalion directly under the New Second Regiment, which is actually the size of a mortar regiment, plus the artillery firepower equipped by the firepower companies under the jurisdiction of each infantry battalion.

The new second regiment is equivalent to the artillery firepower of 4 artillery regiments.

Hearing this, Xu Shansheng took a deep breath, surprise and anticipation intertwined in his eyes.

The artillery firepower and artillery firepower of the two artillery regiments are comparable to that of an artillery division.

The artillery firepower of an infantry regiment is comparable to that of an artillery division.

Can you believe this?

Xu Shansheng hurriedly said: "Then you immediately call back to Commander Li, and let Commander Li arrange to bring 25 75mm mountain guns over by car. There is a road between our base areas, and we will arrive in a few hours at most..."

"Old Xu, why are you in a hurry than me?"

Ding Wei smiled slightly, then picked up a pen and paper to write the telegram.

"Can you not be in a hurry?" Xu Shansheng said, "If you do the math, the artillery firepower of our regiment is comparable to that of an artillery division."

"After our new second regiment acquired 25 mountain cannons, the artillery firepower is comparable to that of an artillery division. Then the artillery firepower of the new regiment needs at least an artillery corps?"

"What is an artillery army?" Ding Wei said in a disdainful tone.

Xu Shansheng worried: "Old Ding, you said that the artillery firepower of our new second regiment should not be inferior to the artillery firepower of the artillery directly under the brigade headquarters? Do you think the brigade commander and his old man can rob?"

"Robbery?" Ding Wei said, "Brigade Commander is an old man who has nothing to say about robbery. Let the Brigadier himself send people to Northwest Shanxi to pick up the cannons. It is not so easy to transport these dozens of mountain cannons from Northwest Shanxi to Taiyue Military Region. "

Hearing what Ding Wei said, a smile appeared on Xu Shansheng's face again, as long as he doesn't get robbed by the brigade commander.

At this time, Ding Wei had already drawn up the telegram, and Xu Shansheng took the telegram to the communication room next door and asked the decoder to translate it into numbers, and the telegraph operator then sent it to Xinyituan.

Kong Jie, the head of the independent regiment, made the same choice as Ding Wei. He was also willing to exchange 3000 recruits for 25 75mm mountain guns, each with 3 base shells.

When the Artillery Regiment directly under the Eighth Route Army Headquarters was established in 1938, there were only a dozen mountain cannons and four mortars.

Compared with 3000 recruits, 25 75mm American mountain guns and 3 base shells are more important.

When the recruits are gone, they can recruit from the militia and ordinary people. If these 25 mountain cannons pass through this village, there will be no such shop.

After receiving the telegram from Ding Wei and Kong Jie, Li Yunlong arranged for a car battalion, mobilized more than 200 cars, divided the 3 base shells and 50 mountain cannons into half, and dragged them to the Independent Regiment and the New Second Regiment.

……

Independence regiment, at the gate of the boot camp.

More than 100 Jiefang trucks are full of recruits.
Each Jiefang truck is loaded with 25 to 30 recruits.

These recruits have just finished recruit training, and each recruit is wearing a neat new military uniform, like a new son-in-law.

"Company Commander Zhang."

"3000 recruits, one not too many and one not too few, I will leave them all to you."

"Remember to go back and tell your regiment leader, next time there will be Shanpao, you can find our independent regiment for new recruits at any time..."

At the entrance of the training camp, Kong Jie, the head of the independent regiment, was talking to Zhang Shitang, the commander of the 2nd company of the new [-]nd regiment's automobile battalion.

This deal is too good for Kong Jie.

At present, there are more than 600 vehicles in the Xinyi Regiment Automobile Battalion, which is equivalent to the size of an automobile regiment. There are 6 automobile companies, and each automobile company is equipped with more than 100 vehicles.

Looking at all the Jiefang trucks, Kong Jie's eyes showed envy.

"Head Kong, our head also asked me to bring you a sentence."

Company Commander Zhang looked at the recruits who were full of vigor and morale, then at Kong Jie, and smiled.

"Li Yunlong also brought me a message?" Kong Jie was slightly taken aback, with a look of curiosity and anticipation on his face, and asked with a smile, "What message did he bring me?"

Company Commander Zhang Shitang said: "Our regiment has recently put into storage a new type of weapon of mass destruction, and we will be preparing for a test launch tomorrow. Our regiment leader invites you to the new regiment to observe it."

"Weapons of mass destruction..."

Kong Jie was startled suddenly, but quickly realized.

This dog thing...

He must have obtained some good weapon from Boss Chen again, and he is ready to show off to him and Ding Wei.

What's so cool about the new weapons?

I don't want to see it.

Kong Jie pursed his lips, but in the end the words 'weapons of mass destruction' made Kong Jie's heart itch, curiosity prevailed, he turned his head and said to Second Battalion Commander Shen Quan: "Second Battalion Commander, prepare a car immediately Jeep, come with me to Xinyituan to see..."

Shen Quan Shen Quan was slightly overjoyed: "Yes!"
