Chapter 47 Li Yunlong’s New Problem (Seeking Follow-up Reading)
Ren Zhong came at the right time.

In the battle of Yangcun, the independent regiment suffered heavy losses. The only gain was the recovery of nearly 3000 9mm bullet shells and 1000 6.5mm bullet shells, which were obviously left behind by the MP38 submachine gun and the Type light machine gun.

Originally, there were casualties among the Japanese, as several were killed or injured by Kong Jie's grenade attack in the dark. However, during the retreat, Kong Jie was attacked by the Japanese and did not dare to press forward, allowing the Japanese to calmly drag away the wounded and the dead.

So in that encounter, Kong Jie suffered heavy losses. He did not gain any benefit at all. He only picked up more than 4000 bullet shells as garbage. According to Lao Li, it was a huge loss.

"Old Li, your behavior makes me feel scared." Ren Zhong smiled and pushed Li Yunlong away with some disgust.

"I don't have the money to build you an arsenal. Minister Zhang doesn't have the money to pay me. I'm penniless now and I have to eat from you, Old Li. If you want to build that thing, you have to find someone to build it yourself. Anyway, you already know how to build it."

"No problem. As for digging earth and building earth kilns, Old Li can do it just by looking at it. With so many men in the independent regiment, I guarantee that the earth kiln can be built in less than a month. It's just that my people don't know how to burn sulfuric acid, so you can't keep it to yourself, brother Ren." Li Yunlong said with a chuckle.

"What are you building earth kilns for?" Ren Zhong looked at Lao Li, feeling a little disappointed. "One earth kiln over there is enough for the clothing factory. You think it costs a lot of food even if it doesn't cost money. Why don't you find someone to bring back the coal, coke, pyrite, saltpeter, etc.? Now the most important thing for you is to quickly get back the coal, coke, pyrite, saltpeter, etc. If you don't have money to buy them, we can find a place to dig them ourselves. I know a little bit about prospecting. There must be more than one iron ore and coal mine in our base. From tomorrow on, find a few people to follow me around and we'll find a place to dig."

"Ah, Brother Ren, you really are the God of Literature who can even do this? That's great. I was just worrying about where to get the money to buy it. I didn't expect that you can even look at mines. It's time for Old Li to get rich." Li Yunlong said after laughing loudly when he heard what Ren Zhong said.

Kong Jie looked at Ren Zhong with a complicated expression, full of regret and shame. If he had trusted Ren Zhong as much as Li Yunlong did, he would have followed him without saying a word and without thinking too much. That's why Old Li was able to produce the ammunition that the base urgently needed in the clothing factory within a short period of time!
But he created a huge mess.

This is the difference in knowing people. Old Li has a keen eye for talent and can recognize any kind of talent. I was unaware that I had met a noble person who could help me.

Thinking of this, Kong Jie lowered his head, wishing there was a crack in the ground for him to crawl into.

Ren Zhong had no intention of adding insult to injury. He couldn't help but tell Kong Jie the beginning of the story in advance. However, the other party did not change according to the ending of the story, so he couldn't blame himself.

But that's all. Kong Duoyin is able to become a member of the iron triangle. After this bloody lesson, he will surely grow faster.

Back in the main plane, Ren Zhong looked up all the information on the historical base's process of reloading and producing bullets, and also sorted out the information on local minerals. Fortunately, these are no longer secrets. After spending money to buy a VIP digital library, a lot of information can be found on the Internet. Although he worked hard all night to organize it into a text, he had to convert it into traditional Chinese and output it all at once!
9mm bullet shells. After reloading, the independent regiment still has some captured machine guns to use. Now the independent regiment is like a seriously injured sick man. No more subsidies for weapons and ammunition are given. No matter how powerful Lao Li is, he can't cook without rice.

So the reloading of these thousands of rounds of bullets was a small way to give the Independent Regiment a small boost. But to really solve Lao Li's problem, Ren Zhong had to figure out how to make new bullets and turn the copper coins he had worked so hard to carry into bullets!
Originally, those copper coins were intended for Zhang Wanhe's arsenal, but now Ren Zhong felt that it would be more useful to restore Lao Li's health. After all, none of the surrounding regiments in the base could fight better than Lao Li.

Now we can carry back a set of manual punching machines at a time, and Renzhong’s bullet rough processing factory can basically open.

The world of sword.

Li Yunlong followed Ren Zhong to look for mines, but he didn't expect that the location of the first mine was a bit awkward. Ren Zhong had not visited the address he found on the Internet in the real world. In the world of Bright Sword, not only had the name of the mountain village been changed, but there was also a die-hard traitor who supported a dozen soldiers and entrenched there. The nearest artillery tower to the Japanese was only ten miles away.

"Old Li, there are few trees on that mountain in this place. It should be a mineral vein. Although it is not big, it should be enough to support our Yangcun Arsenal. But the mountain is only two miles away from Liujia Village. I think it will be difficult to escape the eyes of the Japanese in Liujia Village once we start digging. This is a bit tricky."

Ren Zhong and Li Yunlong stood on a mountain more than five miles away from Yang Village, pointing to a bare mountain road not far away. According to the Baidu map location of a village-run coal mine he found in the main plane, it was almost this location.

Unfortunately, next to him, there is a mountain village occupied by traitors. And it is too close to the Japanese artillery tower. If the independent regiment wants to take root here, it is too difficult with the current strength of the independent regiment. Because it is close to the highway, the Japanese in the city can rush here in 2 hours at most. Facing the large group of Japanese carrying heavy weapons, the independent regiment has basically no chance to defend this mountain village with poor defensive terrain.

Li Yunlong was standing nearby, looking at the barren mountain that Ren Zhong was instructing and the traitor who was so close, and he fell into deep thought for a moment.

It is not difficult to eliminate the traitor's stronghold. For the Independent Regiment, this kind of landlord's compound is just that, much easier to attack than a blockhouse. However, Li Yunlong also has some ideas about how to defend this place. Even if the gendarmerie battalion and puppet army in the city are not as strong as the Japanese field troops, they also have guns and cannons, at least two infantry guns and four or five mortars. The Independent Regiment cannot fight face to face. Only by leading them into the mountain forest with narrow paths near Yangcun can they conduct guerrilla warfare on the mountain to offset the advantage of the Japanese artillery fire.

Yangcun is located deep in the Taihang Mountains, with high mountains and deep valleys everywhere. The main road is only wide enough for two people to pass, and can only accommodate one horse. The Japanese soldiers had to line up to enter and could not form a formation at all. Therefore, the Japanese soldiers did not dare to go in and be beaten. Only when a large force was conducting a sweep would they come together from heaven and earth to cross the mountains and ridges to pass through.

However, if this group of traitors is not eliminated, the Yangcun arsenal will not be able to operate.

Li Yunlong stared at Liujia Village, clenched his fists and gritted his teeth. This battle must be fought!
