My client Li Yunlong

Chapter 31: Fifty imported Czech tanks, one company commander.

"Shall I make a price?"

"Ha ha ha ha····"

Hearing Li Yunlong's confident words, the brigade commander suddenly smiled.

This tone, it sounds like, is calling you to make whatever price you want, because labor and management have plenty of money.

Although he is completely different from the smart philistine Li Yunlong before.

During the New Regiment period, Li Yunlong also exchanged weapons and ammunition with him for a company commander and five platoon commanders. That time, Commander Li bargained with him for a full half an hour.

But, he likes it!

"Five company commanders, fifteen platoon commanders."

"That's a lot of money."

The brigade commander pondered for a moment and began to calculate the price in his mind.

In terms of conventional price, Li Yunlong's Czech type, if you bring all the spare parts, you can exchange it for a company commander, or a full company commander with rich command experience.

The quality of this gun is really good and parts are abundant.

But with 150 million rounds of ammunition and the complete set of small [-] Czech guns in storage, the brigade headquarters has become somewhat wealthy and naturally cannot continue to pay this price.

And Ding Wei's price is obviously not that high.

Forty Czech guns, 20 rounds of ammunition, and 120 people were replaced, of which there was only one company commander. Although the soldiers were all combat backbones, at most they were only squad leaders.

It almost increased the price five times.

Bullets have increased tenfold.

After thinking about it, and considering Li Yunlong's attitude and tone that labor and management have plenty of money, the brigade commander finally decided to go ahead and double Ding Wei's price to ten times the original price.

"Five company commanders, each with ten imported Czech guns, or thirty thousand rounds of ammunition each."

"Fifteen platoon leaders, two Czechs each, or six thousand rounds of ammunition each."

The brigadier named the price.

Standard price, one company commander is worth five platoon commanders.

"What about the shell gun?"

"They are all twenty rings, and all the parts are complete."

Li Yunlong started bargaining in a calm tone.

"Three barge guns against one Czech."

The brigade commander thought for a moment and said.

The twenty-shot shell gun has strong firepower and a long range. It can be used as a submachine gun. It is very popular in the army and is in great demand.

"How do you count the shell gun bullets?" Li Yunlong asked.

"Two shell gun bullets are loaded with one seventy-nine bullet." the brigade commander replied.

"How do you count German-made grenades?" Li Yunlong asked.

"One hundred, one Czech." the brigade commander replied.

German-made grenades are extremely powerful, much larger than the Japs' cantaloupe grenades. They are very effective during battles. The exchange price is not high, and he even deliberately kept it low.

He finally heard it, and Li Yunlong estimated that he was much richer than he thought.

"Where are the Japanese [-] grenades and grenade grenades?"

Li Yunlong continued to ask.

"The Japanese's Type [-] grenade and grenades?"

The brigade commander's eyes suddenly lit up.

He had seen German-made grenades in the weapons and ammunition sent directly by Xu Hu, but the Japanese Type [-] grenades and grenade grenades were new weapons that had never appeared before.

I have to say, the grenade is really easy to use.

Especially the Japanese rifled Type [-] grenade.

Although it has high requirements on the operator, it is lightweight and has a suitable range. The effective range is 500 meters, which is exactly the optimal combat distance for the troops. The maximum can even reach 700 meters, but the accuracy will drop a lot.

Standard grenades are as powerful as German-made hand grenades.

The ballistic trajectory is curved, and you can hit it even if you are hiding in a trench.

When fighting the Japs, many veterans said that compared to the Japs' machine guns, grenade launchers were more difficult to deal with. They could blow you up even if you were hiding in a trench.

The brigade commander thought for a while and gave a very high price:

"A Type [-] grenade is equivalent to a Czech type."

"For standard grenade shells, 25... no, fifty rounds, equivalent to a Czech gun."

The troops were not too short of grenades.

After fighting the Japs for so long, the number of grenade launchers seized was not small, as many as crooked guns. After all, there were as many grenade launchers and machine guns in the Japs troops.

For each main group, three can still be taken out.

But grenade grenades are severely lacking.

The one made by the arsenal is low in power, barely accurate, and has extremely low output.

Seizure is also very difficult.

Therefore, for the standard grenade shells, the brigade commander originally planned to give 25 rounds, which is equivalent to a Czech gun. 250 rounds can be exchanged for a company commander. However, thinking of Li Yunlong's calm expression, he thought about it and directly increased the price by two. times.

"The Japs' cantaloupe grenades don't count."

The brigade commander emphasized.

For the sake of versatility, the little devil requested that the grenade can also be launched with a grenade. As a result, due to insufficient air tightness, the maximum range is only about 100 meters, the accuracy is also poor, and the practicality is very low. It is far better to carry a few more grenade grenades. .

"alright."

At this moment, Captain Li felt what Brother Lu was feeling.

Application for supplies in March,

With ten 60mm artillery shells per person, he didn't have much confidence.

After all, that was 60 rounds of 60mm mortar shells, and the independent regiment only had ten [-]mm mortars.

But with twenty grenades per person, the probability of passing is very high. After all, including spares, the whole regiment has 85 grenades. On average, each grenade only has a little more than 400 grenades.The high-throwing trajectory of the grenade and the range of 500 meters are extremely versatile. The consumption of grenades on the battlefield is indeed very large.

By that time, he had purchased [-] grenades every month. Of course, there were also some smoke grenades, but at most a few hundred rounds.

Fifty coins are equivalent to a Czech gun. Five hundred coins can be used to exchange for a company commander. Thirty-six thousand coins can be used to replace more than 70 company commanders.

These company commanders are all veterans of the Red Army. They have experienced hundreds of battles and have rich combat experience. They have been trained by the headquarters and have strong command skills. Moreover, they also have a very good cultural knowledge base.

The headquarters, plus the Shaanxi-Gansu Border Region, and even the whole army combined, the number of people trained every month is estimated to be at most thirty or forty, and it is impossible to exceed fifty.

At this price, he can cover it all by himself.

"Where are the 60 mortars and 60 mortar shells?"

"American product, the maximum range is 800 meters, the standard grenade weighs three kilograms, and there are also illumination bombs and smoke bombs."

Li Yunlong paused and deliberately said in a very casual tone.

To cue the brigade commander to raise the price.

Otherwise, how can he increase the amount of supplies he applies for in the future?
Although the contract stipulates that Brother Lu will not interfere with the superior's command of the independent regiment, but suddenly a God of Wealth came and a steady stream of weapons and ammunition came to him. The superior certainly did not dare to let go, so he could only test it slowly.

He couldn't show the contract to his superiors before the Japanese were killed.

It is estimated that the independent group will stay in Yangcun for the time being.

"60 mortars and 60 mortar shells..."

Hearing this, the brigade commander looked at Li Yunlong with wide eyes, completely unaware of Li Yunlong's sudden tone.

If grenades, especially the Japanese rifled Type 60 grenade, are good weapons and equipment for the Eighth Route Army, then the [-]mm mortar is a super weapon and equipment.

60 mortar, regardless of range, is about three times more powerful than a grenade, and its accuracy is not comparable.

The role played on the battlefield is even greater.

A regiment with 60 mortars has completely different combat effectiveness than a regiment without 60 mortars. After all, this is one of the very few weapons in the army with a range of more than one kilometer.

But 60 mortar shells are really difficult to replenish.

The Japanese don't have 60 mortars, so they can't capture them.

At present, because Shuiyaozi Arsenal has just been established, only a dozen rounds are produced every month, and the quality is not very good. The main source of supplement for the troops is to find preserved fruits - rub or pick them up.

As for the preserved fruits, there are not many 60 mortar shells, so they keep a very close eye.

"A 60-mm mortar has a company commander, and fifty rounds of artillery shells has a company commander."

Although he was shocked and anxious, the brigade commander still calmly proposed a high price, but the eagerness for mortar shells in his heart still made him emphasize:
"If you can exchange them for 60 mortars or artillery shells, I can give you five company commanders and ten platoon commanders right away."

The brigade headquarters has an artillery battalion, equipped with a Type 82 infantry gun, two 60 mortars, and six [-] mortars.

But the [-]th Brigade had just broken through the Japanese encirclement. Like the bullets, the artillery shells were basically used up.

The Type 60 infantry gun has no shells, and even the sight of the gun was destroyed by the Japanese. The Type 23 mortar has only five rounds, and the Type [-] mortar has only [-] rounds.

Urgent need for shells!

Brigadier, how are you doing today?
Asking for prices all over the sky, have you forgotten the principle of paying back the money on arrival?

Li Yunlong was speechless.

He didn’t know whether Brother Lu would approve ten rounds of 60 mortar shells per capita, but five rounds per capita would definitely be no problem.

If there are five rounds per capita, in March, the independent regiment will be able to get 180 rounds, and if it is replaced by the company commander, it will be [-]!
One.

Even counting the deputy company commander, all the company commanders of the [-]th Brigade had to come to him.

"Brigade commander, are there any company commanders and platoon commanders with high levels of literacy and knowledge?"

Li Yunlong rolled his eyes and continued to make conditions:
"The higher the educational level, the better, preferably college students."

The contract clearly suggested that the cultural knowledge level of the independent regiment soldiers should be improved as much as possible to adapt to the advanced modern weapons and equipment in the future. Lu Laodi's talent training also directly stated that there will be aircraft, tanks and artillery in the future.

He needs soldiers with high levels of literacy and knowledge, the more the better, to facilitate the acceptance of aircraft, tanks, and artillery in the future.

During the cooperation mission, Brother Lu will treat the seriously injured members of the independent regiment.

Over at Cangyun Ridge, almost half of the soldiers who entered the Palace of Hell could be rescued. In the independent regiment, the survival probability was much higher than in other regiments.

Those who perform well and have a firm belief in the army can still go to Brother Lu for training. This condition may sound a bit difficult, but intellectuals who can carry guns and charge on the front line are also the most determined group of people in the army.

"Preferably a college student?"

Recovering from the urgent need for artillery shells, the brigade commander grasped the unusualness in Li Yunlong's words.

That's not how business is done.

How can anyone mention conditions when negotiating a price?
The brigade commander took a deep breath, rolled his eyes slightly, and said:

“No college students at the moment.”

"Over at the headquarters, there are several company commanders with solid cultural backgrounds, some of whom have graduated from middle school."

"But, you also know that our army is in short supply of intellectuals!"

During the Republic of China, 11 years of education were implemented, with four years of primary school and three years of upper primary school. Middle school was not divided into junior high school and high school. It was also a four-year system, adding up to 11 years.

Middle school graduation level, equivalent to high school.

However, those were middle school graduates of the period...
"Brigadier, please make an offer!"

Li Yunlong is not long-winded and goes straight to the point.

"Fifty Czechs, one company commander!"

The brigade commander thought in his mind, gritted his teeth, and increased the price five times again.

"This is··"

The brigade commander was ready to add that this was a company commander with a high level of education and a high school diploma.

Also prepared to bargain with Li Yunlong.

After all, according to this price, it is already fifteen times higher than Ding Wei's. The large number of weapons and ammunition that Li Yunlong sent to the brigade headquarters cannot be replaced by a few company commanders.

"Okay, let's exchange fifty Czechs for a company commander!"

Li Yunlong was still a little dissatisfied with this price, but there was nothing he could do about it. He couldn't increase the price himself. Leader Li immediately said:

"Five company commanders and fifteen platoon commanders. I will send you the weapons and equipment in a few days."
