My client Li Yunlong

Chapter 23 Li Yunlong: Brigadier, you have to light a cigarette for me!
After asking Zhao Gang to lead the team to deliver weapons and ammunition to the brigade headquarters, asking Kong Jie to make statistics on the soldiers of the independent regiment, and asking Zhang Dabiao to temporarily place the wounded in the second battalion, Li Yunlong himself got into the regiment headquarters, picked up the contract, and read it word for word. started to think about it.

Next to it is a dictionary given by Lu Renjia (system) for deciphering rare words and referring to their definitions.

Although the Pinyin alphabet was only invented in 58 and has no trace now, the Zhuyin alphabet took shape as early as 13 and was promoted nationwide in 18. It is a convenient and fast technique for recognizing and pronunciation of characters.

As the group leader, Li Yunlong was forced to learn these basic knowledge.

Yes, that's right, Captain Li started to study on his own.

Actually, it’s not that Captain Li doesn’t like reading!
As a complete pragmatist, Li Yunlong believes that learning cultural knowledge is of little use.

right now,

The mastery of cultural knowledge is related to solving the logistics supply problem of the independent regiment, and even has the hope of solving the ammunition supply problem of the entire army. Can he not study hard?

This kind of energy is more serious than the college entrance examination in later generations.

In his mind, Li Yunlong was pondering over the contents of the contract and the subsequent establishment of the independent group.

After all, someone is going to distribute weapons, equipment, and logistics supplies to the entire independent regiment soon. He needs to fill out the application form according to the establishment.

Although I have many plans in mind,
That contract seemed to have a lot of rules and regulations, but there were too many loopholes that could be exploited, and Brother Lu seemed to let him take advantage of those loopholes - he felt that Brother Lu wanted to support him in fighting the Japanese, but there were some restrictions. We can only indirectly support him in this way.

However, Li Yunlong decided to be honest first and slowly ponder the truth behind it.

If he guesses wrong and takes away the God of Wealth, he will suffer a big loss.

"Six new weapons and supplies?"

Inside the regiment headquarters, Li Yunlong looked at the ordinary button on his sleeve - this was the communicator given by Lord Lu Caishen. He could communicate with Brother Lu anytime and anywhere.

This incredibly small communicator once again made Li Yunlong deeply aware of the methods of this cheap brother, the God of Wealth - if every soldier in an army is equipped with such a communicator, then the combat effectiveness of this army will be How powerful?

Li Yunlong could not even imagine it in his heart.

"Correct."

A voice came from the communicator:

"Brother Yunlong not only killed the entire Yamamoto special agent team in the Liao County prisoner-of-war camp this time, completing the task perfectly, but also killed the Japanese deputy chief of staff of the North China Front Masabu Hirata. Although this old Japanese was a colonel, as the deputy chief of staff, his status His status is comparable to that of a Japanese major general."

"These three are the price of Hirata Masapan!"

"Haha, thank you so much, Brother Lu!"

Li Yunlong thanked him repeatedly.

"correct."

Lu Renjia read the system subtitles and added:
"Brother Yunlong, from now on, if the independent regiment kills a Japanese major general, there will be three more new supplies in the list. If it is a lieutenant general, there will be five new supplies!"

Li Yunlong's eyes suddenly lit up:
"Haha, then Brother Lu, just wait for my good news!"

Although the contract has not yet been thoroughly thought through, Li Yunlong has also seen that the more materials in the list, the greater the space he can operate and the more benefits he will reap.

"Okay, I'll just wait for the good news from Brother Yunlong."

Lu Renjia also said with a smile.

Later, after doing some housework, Li Yunlong hung up the communicator and picked up a list.

This is a list of weapons and ammunition that can be added.

Looking at this list, Li Yunlong fell into deep thought.

The six new types of supplies may sound like a lot and will provide a lot more room for reimbursement, but in reality, they are still a drop in the bucket.

An army needs various and complex supplies.

Logistics support does not only refer to weapons, equipment and ammunition. However, the Eighth Route Army's lack of weapons and equipment concealed problems caused by the lack of other materials.

These four simple words encompass a huge and complex system.

Even though there was a serious shortage of supplies, the logistics personnel of our own Eighth Route Army, which focused on guerrilla warfare, accounted for a large proportion of the army.

Li Yunlong needs to think carefully and make the best choice based on the actual situation of the army.

Based on the current situation of the independent regiment, giving one armored car, one tank, and one aircraft will not only fail to increase the number of fighter jets, but will even drag down the troops and become a burden.

Not only because there are no corresponding operating talents, but also because there are no conditions for use in the base area, and the independent regiment does not have the ability to ensure the operation of weapons.

···
"Kong Jie, how is the situation?"

At this time, Kong Jie walked in, and Li Yunlong asked immediately.

He asked Kong Jie to collect statistics on the entire regiment's soldiers.

The second battalion, which is carefully selected and composed of the backbone of the battle, can have two soldiers suffering from blindfolded eyes. You can imagine how serious it is for other battalions.

"Hey··"

Kong Jie sighed first and then said:

"The first battalion has 27 non-combat attrition, the third battalion has thirty, the second battalion has six, and there are still twenty in the guard platoon, regimental officer logistics, etc."

"so much?!"

Li Yunlong was shocked.

Although it had been expected that there would be a lot of non-combat attrition, the actual number was still beyond his imagination.

Adding up the whole regiment, there were a total of 83 non-combat attrition, accounting for almost one-tenth of the independent regiment. This is the proportion after counting the 120 people who came over from the new regiment.

Before the battle begins, the independent regiment will lose one-tenth of its strength.

Is this still available?

The problem was even more serious than when he first took over the new regiment.

"Hey··"

Kong Jie sighed again:

"It's all the weather's fault."

"The soldiers didn't have enough to eat and didn't wear warm clothes. Many of them had high fevers, frostbite, some were blindfolded, some had diarrhea and collapsed after drinking unclean water. Only less than ten were injured in actual training."

As serious as weapons and ammunition, there are food, warmth and hygiene issues for the soldiers.Hearing this, Li Yunlong also understood something.

Last year, when he took over the new regiment, although the situation in the army was very serious, at that time, the prison blockade had not yet begun, and the relationship between the army and preserved fruits was still a little bit, and occasionally they could get some supplies.

Therefore, the situation is better than this year, and the supply of materials is also more abundant.

This year, the situation in the base area is particularly difficult.

"I have to think of a way..."

Li Yunlong fell into thinking.

The situation of the Independent Regiment is like this, and the situation of other troops is not much better.

There are not many types of materials in the list. Even if these six types are added, there are only about ten types. According to the contract, his cooperation with Brother Lu will gradually expand, but at present, the scale of the task is still small.

There isn't much room to maneuver.

The whole division can't take care of it, but the [-]th Brigade should be able to help.

Nowadays, with more than 300 Czech guns and more than 100 million rounds of ammunition, the ammunition problem of the [-]th Brigade is no longer so serious. When encountering a Japanese raid, relying on the terrain, they can also fight against the Japanese.

But the problem of not having enough to eat and not having warm clothes must be solved as soon as possible.

Although it is already March, it is still bitingly cold in Jin. It is not uncommon for temperatures to drop to minus ten degrees Celsius at night.

Moreover, with the blockade of preserved fruits and the opening of the prison cage of the Japanese, the army's food problem became more and more serious.The soldiers did not have enough to eat. No matter how good their weapons were or how many bullets they had, they could not defeat the Japanese.

"food···"

"Including militia troops, county brigades, etc., the total 386 brigade is estimated to have more than 2 people, right?"

"To feed so many people, we have to eat tens of thousands of kilograms of grain a day..."

Li Yunlong scratched his head and thought of a solution.

In the list of supplies that can be applied for, in terms of food, there is currently only white flour.

There are many types of food in the list of new supplies, but this time he only has six new ones to choose from. He also has to take into account winter military uniforms and blindfolds.

He really doesn't know which kind of food can prevent birds from blindfolding. Commander Li Da vaguely remembers that it was taught in cultural classes. Night blindness had been studied in depth during World War II. The Eighth Route Army naturally understood it, but they just forgot about it.

Weapons also score a point.

Machine guns alone cannot defeat the Japanese.

as well as,

We must find a way to be as reasonable as possible and get more food, more clothing and ammunition.

Li Yunlong, who was scratching his head and scratching his head, couldn't help cursing:

"Damn it, the brigade commander has to ask me to smoke, no, he has to light the cigarettes for the workers himself."

"Labour and management are doing the work for him."

But while he was cursing, Captain Li felt a little cold on his neck. He tightened his collar and changed his tone:
"You son of a bitch, can't you send a major to inspect the prisoner-of-war camp in Liao County?"

"Colonel is worthless!"

···
"Ah sneeze..."

At the same time, at the headquarters, the brigade commander, who was discussing the situation in the base area with his boss and division commander, suddenly sneezed.

"Have a cold?"

The vice president and division commander asked concernedly at the same time.

The division commander also handed a steaming steamed bun to the brigade commander:
"Eat more, this is the white flour you brought."

"It tastes really good. It tastes better than anywhere I've eaten in Yan Laoxi."

The teacher praised.

"I guess someone is scolding me."

The brigade commander touched his nose and didn't pay much attention.

He ended up burning the steamed buns. After taking a bite, he frowned and continued:

"The current situation in our Taiyue Military Region is very serious!"

"The Guizishangdao Regiment relies on roads, bunkers, barbed wire, and trenches to approach step by step, blocking the base area and compressing the space for our troops to move. The supplies we can obtain are getting less and less, and the economy is becoming more and more difficult."

"Mr. Zhu is already discussing countermeasures, soon."

Because it was a three-person meeting, the boss sent a signal and gave the brigade commander a reassurance.

"Mr. Zhu?"

"it is good!"

The brigade commander was immediately overjoyed. Then he remembered the grievances he had suffered this year. The base area was eaten by the Japanese one after another. He couldn't help cursing:
"Damn it, labor and management really want to eat up this Yamaguchi unit in one bite! Kill those Yamaguchi centaurs as well."

"Yamaguchi Centaur, what a shameful name you got."

"Row."

The vice president took a bite of the white flour steamed bun and said with a smile:

"The combat mission of annihilating the Yamaguchi Regiment will be left to your [-]th Brigade."

"Including Captain Yamaguchi Yamato, no one can be spared."

The brigade commander seemed to be chewing on the steamed buns and didn't answer.

The teacher didn't care either.

Let alone annihilating a Japanese infantry regiment, even a non-full brigade would be extremely difficult to annihilate.
