My client Li Yunlong

Chapter 3 Can a mule eat white flour?

"Damn it."

"You can't live a prosperous life anymore?"

Yangcun, inside the independent regiment headquarters.

Li Yunlong was scratching his head and cursing.

Even when he was commanding a new regiment, before each fierce battle, his superiors would allocate some ammunition for combat, but he would distribute it to each battalion and company based on the amount given by the superiors.

Then, based on the number of ammunition and weapons of the entire regiment, as well as the combat objectives, a combat plan is formulated.

For the first time, he allowed himself to formulate combat missions based on combat objectives, and then apply for weapons and ammunition.

Although this is the normal process.

It was just the other way around because the troops were too poor.

But Li Yunlong still couldn't fix it.

At one point, he wanted to apply for [-] rounds of ammunition for each person, twenty Czech-style hand grenades, and [-] German-made hand grenades, and then for each person to get [-] twenty-shot shell guns and [-] rounds of shells.

Go directly to the rich, the whole group is equipped with a machine gun, and they will jump when they see the Japanese.

However,

It is clearly stated in the contract.

[Each cooperation mission, application for weapons, ammunition and supplies must be reasonable, otherwise it will not be approved. 】

Although the word "reasonable" gave Li Yunlong a vague sense of a source of wealth, twenty Czech guns and ten thousand bullets per person was definitely unreasonable and would definitely not pass.

···
After cursing a few words, Li Yunlong opened the map, spread the information on the table, and began to analyze and deduce the battle situation and formulate a battle plan.

"The information provided by Brother Lu should be very accurate."

Li Yunlong first came to the conclusion.

First, before the battle at Cangyunling, because he was greedy for prisoners of war, he personally went to the Liao County prisoner of war camp to investigate. The intelligence in his hand was very similar to what he had detected.

and,

150 million rounds of [-] ammunition and [-] Czech guns appeared on the west side of Yangcun. They must have been transported by air. Including packaging, this batch of weapons and ammunition totaled less than [-] tons.

This air transport capability is much better than that of the Japanese.

It can be roughly inferred that the information related to the Liao County prisoner-of-war camp provided by the God of Wealth, Mr. Chen, is relatively accurate. Even if there is a deviation, it will not be much.

"The Japs stationed an infantry squadron in the Liao County prisoner-of-war camp, with an actual strength of 110 and seven people, and 23 members of the Yamamoto special agent team, plus solid fortifications, machine gun towers, and automatic firearms."

"The defense is very strong."

"But most of these Japanese soldiers are guarding more than 500 prisoners of war, and there are not many actual external security forces."

"In the case of a night attack, we need to capture it quickly and with low casualties. Considering the Yamamoto special agent team, we have to mobilize a backbone of about 200 people to end the battle within an hour."

After confirming the troops to be dispatched, Li Yunlong couldn't help but frown.

The Independent Regiment had just gone through a fierce battle and suffered heavy casualties.

The opponent is this Yamamoto special agent team.

Although this information came from Brother Lu and the authenticity has not been verified, the three hundred Czech guns and 150 million rounds of seventy-nine bullets are the best proof.

The tragic defeat in Yangcun was partly due to Kong Jie's command problem, but it is also undeniable that the Yamamoto special agent team is very strong and they are all elite Japanese soldiers.

The opponents were elite Japanese soldiers. Although Li Yunlong often said that he was fighting elites, he would not be careless. Those who decided to participate in this operation were all the backbone of the army.

The issue is,
It is almost impossible for today's independent regiment to gather two hundred fighting backbones

and··
When Li Yunlong continued to deduce the situation of the battle, his brows furrowed even higher.

"This is all going well."

"Once the intelligence is wrong or an unexpected situation occurs, we have to attack by force. It will take two and a half hours at the fastest to end the battle."

More than ten years of actual combat experience told Li Yunlong that no combat plan can be perfect, and the probability of an accident is very high.

"In the county seat of Liao County, there is a Japanese brigade stationed with more than 600 Japanese soldiers."

"These Japs are divided into two parts. One is stationed inside the county, in a barracks converted from a school, near the Liao County Japs Headquarters, and the other is stationed in a military camp outside Liao County."

"The nearest school barracks is twelve kilometers away from the prisoner of war camp. Considering the reaction speed of the Japanese, it only takes about two hours for these Japanese to reach the prisoner of war camp in Liao County, even at night."

"We have to send a company of troops to block this part of the Japanese reinforcements."

"After calculation, about 270 people need to be dispatched, and they must all be the backbone of the battle."

The fighting backbone of 270 people immediately put Li Yunlong in trouble.

The independent regiment suffered heavy losses in the attack by Yamamoto's special forces a few days ago. The current total strength is only more than 800 people. It is impossible to make up the backbone of 270 people, even if they make up the number.

"There are still more than 100 people left..."

Contract provisions,

[Those who participate in the mission must be official soldiers of the independent regiment commanded by Li Yunlong]

[Independent groups cannot expand abnormally, any expansion must be reasonable]

The contract stipulated that troops could not be borrowed, so they had to find someone to buy them.

More than 100 people are only one-tenth of the strength of a regiment. Thinking about it, this expansion must be reasonable.

Li Yunlong set his sights on Xingjia Village on the map.

Xingjia Village, where the New Regiment is based.

Although the new regiment suffered heavy casualties in the battle of Cangyunling, after all, it faced a Japanese regiment, its organization was still very complete, and its total strength was still more than 1000 people.

And they are all elites who fought in blood and fire.It is very easy to gather more than 100 combat backbones, and it will not even affect the combat effectiveness.

Ding Wei also has a good relationship with him.

Although Ding Wei is also a master who doesn't let go of eagles when he sees rabbits, he still has more than 100 fighting backbones when he asks for people.

There will definitely be heavy bleeding.

But...

The contract clearly states this.

[After the battle in the Japanese prisoner-of-war camp in Liao County is completed, Lu Renjia needs to provide all soldiers of the independent regiment with weapons and equipment, ammunition for one campaign, and other logistics materials sufficient for one month's consumption. 】

[The specific model and quantity will be applied by Li Yunlong, the leader of the independent group, according to the list, and will be issued after approval]

[Weapons, ammunition, and supplies will be replenished once a month based on losses. The actual quantity will be submitted by Li Yunlong and will be released after approval]

[Note: Only supplied to all soldiers of the independent regiment, excluding friendly forces, higher-level support troops, higher-level special mission members, etc. 】

[Note: Independent groups cannot expand abnormally]

According to the terms of cooperation with the Liao County Prisoner of War Camp, as long as the attack on the Liao County Prisoner of War Camp is successful, Brother Lu will equip the entire independent regiment with weapons and equipment.

He doesn't need to collect many supplies himself.

and···
[If the independent regiment can completely annihilate the 23 members of the Yamamoto Special Forces in the Liao County Prisoner of War Camp, three new weapons, ammunition, and other supplies can be added. The details will be selected by Li Yunlong]

If he can annihilate all 23 members of the Yamamoto Special Forces in the Liao County Prisoner of War Camp, new equipment will appear in the list.

What could it be?

60 mortars?
Heavy machine gun?
Li Yunlong couldn't wait.

But this also made him determined that not one of the 23 Yamamoto special agents in the Liao County prisoner of war camp could escape.

As for whether Ding Wei would agree to give it to someone.

For one imported Czech model with all spare parts, Ding Wei could agree to give him Sun Desheng, a senior officer. For two imported Czech models, Ding Wei even had to deliver them to his door in person.

Just over 100 combat cadres...
He now has 150 Czech guns and [-] million rounds of [-] ammunition.

Zhang Wanhe is not as wealthy as him.

Moreover, after he attacks the prisoner-of-war camp in Liao County, Brother Lu will provide the independent regiment with weapons, equipment, ammunition, food, medicine and other supplies, and make up for losses every month.

Li Yunlong suddenly appeared near Yangcun and already had 150 million rounds of [-] ammunition and [-] Czech guns in his hands, which made Li Yunlong believe most of the contents of this contract.

In other words, the Independent Regiment will not have to worry about weapons, ammunition and supplies from now on.

After formulating the battle plan, Li Yunlong began to fill in the supplies list.

It was true that he knew how to read, and he probably had no problem reading the contract, but writing was difficult for him. Fortunately, the application form only required filling in numbers, so Li Yunlong breathed a sigh of relief.

"To attack the prisoner-of-war camp in Liao County, we need to dispatch 270 combat cadres."

"We need thirty Czech machine guns and [-] rounds of seventy-nine rounds."

"Three thousand hand grenades made in Germany."

"180 shell guns, each with [-] rounds of ammunition..."

After filling in this, Li Yunlong paused for a while, suddenly crossed out five hundred, and then changed it to one thousand.

"Refined flour..."

After writing this, Li Yunlong stopped writing again for a long time. During this period, he looked at the terms of the contract again, and then... called the director of the independent group.

"Can the horses and mules in the regiment eat white flour?"

Captain Li asked.

“Can mules and horses eat white flour?”

The chief of staff was stunned.

This question is asked...

"It's labor and management asking you."

Seeing the stunned Chief Secretary, Commander Li directly cursed.

After reading the contract for so long, it was more tiring than killing ten fucking Japanese. Captain Li felt very irritable.

"You can eat it."

The chief of staff quickly answered.

White flour is a fine grain. It is easy to digest and will not cause bloating and diarrhea. It is no problem for people to eat, let alone mules.

Mules are notoriously easy to keep and durable to build.

As for the horse.

Horses are more delicate than mules. Although wheat bran is the best horse feed, the white flour is too fine and it may not be okay to eat it directly. However, it is okay to make white flour steamed buns for horses to eat.

Because he has fed it before.

After speaking, the Secretary of State could not help but remind Li Yunlong:
"But our group is gone..."

"It's none of your business."

But before he could finish speaking, Li Yunlong waved his hand and drove out of the regiment headquarters.

Then, Li Yunlong took up his pen and wrote down the figure of [-] kilograms in the column of refined flour.
