My client Li Yunlong

Chapter 43: It turns out that he was tricked by others!
"Okay, give me a price."

“As long as the price is right, everything is negotiable.”

After hearing the brigade commander's words, Li Yunlong's thoughts quickly turned around in his mind.

With advance intelligence and the current firepower and dispatchable troops of the independent regiment, it is very simple to defeat or even defeat a Japanese second-class reinforced squadron.

But total annihilation is very difficult.

The Japs are not fools. Bushido means that the Japs are not afraid of death, but they are not in a hurry to die. Once the Japs see something bad, they will retreat and run very fast.

It is difficult for an encircling force of 600 people to form an absolute blockade.

More than 200 little Japs burrowed their way out of the encirclement. It was difficult to stop them with more than 600 people. And even if only one Japs escaped from the encirclement, it would be Li Yunlong who lost his blood.

The battle must be ended quickly.

Although the Japs squadron does not have a radio station, the road from Liao County to Yu County is the core road of the Japs. There are often patrols, and it is expected that the Japs reinforcements will arrive in three or four hours.

Therefore, after Li Yunlong deduced the battle process several times, he discovered that the key to this battle lay in the nine American M800 mortars with a maximum range of 2 meters. After a week of study, Commander Li did not learn much. A few, but at least I learned a few English letters, so it was not a waste of time. Of course, it was limited to the letter codes on weapons and equipment.

Select the ambush position and deploy the 60 mortars at the commanding heights of the battlefield in advance. Relying on the commanding view, with a range of 800 meters, only five to six mortars are enough to cover the entire battlefield.

Sufficient artillery shells ensure the continuity of fire suppression.

Whether the Japanese want to concentrate their forces to counterattack, or concentrate their forces to break through, or break through dispersedly, five or six 60mm mortars can suppress them immediately, giving the infantry enough time to divide and encircle them.

The remaining three 60mm mortars can follow the movement of the attacking troops to supplement their firepower.

Therefore, he needs nine elite gunners!
There are still seven days left before departure!

The independent regiment now has three usable gunners. Although they are all novices, they are familiar with the basic gunning procedures and aiming. They are also able to skillfully handle various artillery failures, such as duds, shells not sliding into the barrel, chassis shaking during artillery, etc. Condition.

Now with Xu Ping, plus live-fire training, seven days of intensive training is enough.

So, there are still five gunners left.

"Hey hey hey, I need five gunners!"

Li Yunlong rubbed his hands and looked at the brigade commander.

The brigade commander asked him to take the initiative to bid, but Li Yunlong didn't panic.

Not to mention that there were still a lot of weapons and ammunition left in March. If the Japanese infantry squadron was ambushed nine days later, there would definitely be a lot of weapons and ammunition left.

With three times the strength advantage and twice the firepower advantage of the team, with the fire support of nine 60-mm mortars, they ambush a mere Japanese infantry squadron. It is estimated that at least half of the [-] rounds of artillery shells will be left.

Replacing five gunners would definitely be enough.

But the brigade commander asked him to set the price himself, which made Li Yunlong frown.

In order to get more supplies, he must get rid of all the excess weapons and ammunition after completing the mission of annihilating the Japanese squadron, and try to do it as reasonably as possible to facilitate the next application for supplies.

Although it is expected that at least half of the artillery shells will be left, there will be no shortage of grenade grenades, and there will be an endless supply of bullets and grenades, but the specific number cannot be estimated in detail.

So it's hard to bid.

"hey-hey···"

Seeing Li Yunlong frowning, the brigade commander finally felt relieved:

"Five gunners, no problem. As long as the price is satisfactory, let alone five, even ten gun crews will be fine."

There are not many gunners in the brigade artillery battalion, but there are quite a few. There are 27 mortar teams with skilled gunnery skills. The current serious shortage of troops is weapons and equipment and ammunition, not people.

It's easy to divide out ten of them, and you can train new artillery crews relatively quickly.

"Ten gun crews?"

Li Yunlong's eyes lit up.

The artillery crew refers to a three-person artillery team with a deputy gunner and an ammunition hand. The first and second gunners are both proficient in using mortars, and even the ammunition hand has received mortar training.

If ten artillery groups can be obtained, then in April, the independent regiment will have the manpower to purchase a regimental artillery company!
With long-term cooperation, there will be more opportunities to annihilate the Shandao United Headquarters.

Captain Li's thoughts suddenly became clearer.

Although it is impossible to accurately estimate the number of remaining weapons and ammunition, the four thousand rounds of 60 mortar shells will definitely not be missing, and there will be no loss of nine mortars. Grenadier, Czech style, [-]-type cover, shell gun At most one or two platoons were lost from these weapons.

It can be said that even after the battle, the remaining equipment of 600 people is definitely more than that of a reinforced battalion, and the ammunition is enough for a reinforced battalion to have a field battle with the Japanese.

and many more··
Since the cooperation is in progress, the limit for applying for weapons and ammunition from Brother Lu is tons, then...

"A skilled three-man gun crew, four tons of weapons and ammunition, with packaging!"

Li Yunlong offered a big price.

Including packaging, one Czech gun with all parts is 60 kilograms. Four tons is actually only one hundred. If it is replaced by [-] mortar shells, it will be less than three kilograms with packaging. Four tons is about [-] shells. .

"Four tons?"

"make a deal!"

The brigade commander nodded without hesitation.

He didn't know how wealthy the God of Wealth behind Li Yunlong was, nor why the other party only provided weapons and ammunition through Li Yunlong, but the brigade commander, who had lived through so many years of hard life, knew.

Eat according to the food and tailor it to your needs.

He would take as much as Li Yunlong gave him, and then use the weapons and ammunition in his hands to try to strengthen the Taiyue Military Region and strengthen the base area to cope with the next raid by the Japanese.

But four tons still made the brigade commander's heart skip a beat.

The price was much higher than he expected.

Although the walnut wood packaging is heavy, it weighs four tons. Calculated with 12-point bullets, each box weighs [-] kilograms, which is more than [-] rounds.

"That brigade commander, the new batch of weapons and ammunition has not arrived yet, and payment will have to be made in nine days. Can you give me the people first? I am in a hurry to use them."

Li Yunlong chuckled and said to the brigade commander.He could actually afford forty tons of ammunition.

During the cooperation mission, Brother Lu allocated ammunition to him. When calculating the weight, the packaging was not included. He could eat the difference in the packaging.

But it’s a bit strenuous.

"can."

In a hurry? ······The brigade commander took a deep look at Li Yunlong, and after a brief silence, nodded in agreement.

The brigade commander felt that he knew Li Yunlong's current worth!

····
next to.

Xu Ping looked at the two people and was speechless.

Those who didn’t know better might have thought these two were bandits or human traffickers!
He silently moved away from the two of them.

Li Yunlong's request for ten gun crews to be used urgently also made Xu Ping's heart skip a beat.

Is this guy Li Yunlong planning to make a big move?

Moreover, the brigade commander directly agreed?
I wonder why this kid Li Yunlong is getting more and more courageous. He dares to disobey the boss's order, break out of the siege in Cangyun Ridge without following the planned route, and directly attack the two Bantian teams!

Damn it, it turns out that you are used to it.

Xu Ping rarely cursed in his heart.

····
"Ha ha!"

"go!"

After receiving 5000 tons of grain, dozens of tons of weapons and ammunition, and 771 and [-] sets of military uniforms sent by Li Yunlong, the brigade commander happily waved his whip and left Yangcun, where the independent regiment was stationed, with the fully loaded transport team and the [-]st Regiment.

Although he was still horrified in his heart, how strong was the God of Wealth behind Li Yunlong.

But that's a good thing.

The thicker the thigh Li Yunlong holds, the more benefits the troops will gain.

The brigade commander even hoped in his heart that it would be best if the God of Wealth could be as strong as the Japanese, or even a little stronger than the Japanese.

But the brigade commander also knew.

This is impossible.

Although the Little Devil is not as good as the top European and American powers such as Great Britain, the United States, and Germany, with the world's third-largest combined naval fleet in hand, it is still no problem to stay in the top ten in the world, and even compete for the top five.

Are there any forces in the world that are stronger than the Japanese and willing to help the Eighth Route Army?
"You want me to help him find intellectuals!"

On the way back to the brigade headquarters, the brigade commander kept thinking about Li Yunlong's final actions.

He was given 5000 and 5000 sets of winter military uniforms, and [-] and [-] pairs of military shoes, and asked him to recruit intellectuals for the independent regiment, preferably intellectuals who were loyal enough to the army's beliefs. The higher the level, the better.

Czech style, mortars don’t need intellectuals!
···
"set off!"

Just when the brigade commander returned with a fully loaded transport team.

The reinforced company led by Zhang Dabiao includes 50 combat backbones selected from the second battalion, more than 70 soldiers selected from the first and third battalions, plus more than 20 former Central Army soldiers selected from the teaching camp.

The team of 150 people has also begun preliminary training.

During this period, a small amount of live ammunition firing was also conducted.

That night, under the leadership of Wu Wenkai, they marched towards Xiaoao Village, Liao Town, where the county brigade was stationed.

After Xu Ping learned about it, he took two newly acquired 60 mortars, inexperienced gunners from three independent regiments, and 150 rounds of artillery shells specially approved by Li Yunlong on the grounds of familiarizing himself with the new mortars and training new gunners. Set off together.

"It doesn't matter the lighting."

A small ambush can give him 150 rounds of artillery shells!On the way, Xu Ping thought of the tone of Li Yunlong's words when he was batching cannonballs for him, and Xu Ping was full of expectations for the next days in the Independent Regiment.

····
"Monk, let's go!"

At the same time, Li Yunlong and the monk were preparing to inspect the road between Liao County and Yu County.

Although Brother Lu gave him detailed maps and on-site photos, it was Li Yunlong's habit to conduct on-site inspections. No matter how good the photos were or how accurate the sand table was, it was not as good as actually going there.

There were no conditions in the prisoner-of-war camp in Liao County. .

During this period, a regimental officer found Li Yunlong.

"Regiment leader, comrades from the headquarters hospital, let us take the gauze back to them."

"..."

Hearing these words, Li Yunlong sighed inwardly.

Although it is a headquarters field hospital, due to the Japanese blockade and the blockade of preserved fruits, even gauze is in short supply and can only be boiled and sterilized in high-temperature water for repeated use.

Even if this is actually against the rules and regulations, because sterility cannot be achieved.

But no way.

"It's just that labor and capital have embezzled it."

Li Yunlong waved his hand and cursed:
"Give them some white flour and let them bring as much as they can as labor compensation."

"Damn it, you have to worry about every little bit of gauze!"

　Take the advice of book friends and change the weapon and ammunition count into tons...

　　I feel that by writing data for each weapon, I can write 600 to [-] million words.
