Chapter XXXII Transport Brigade
[You opened 1000 boxes]
【Consume experience points to open the box in a directional manner】
[You have obtained 60 mortar shells and 350,000 rounds]
Closing the interface, the shell boxes were piled up in the open space behind him, Luo Yun yawned, and his eyes were staring into the distance, and about ten minutes later, a team of mules and horses walked out of the mountain road.
"Brother Luo Yun, thank you! Thank you! ”
As soon as the convoy approached, Zhang Nuoyan's familiar words of thanks rang out again. Transporting supplies once every half a month is a top priority, so every time Zhang Promise personally leads the team.
"This is what I should do"
Touching his nose, Luo Yun responded. Although it was a process of thanks every time, Luo Yun originally thought that he should be very annoyed by this kind of thanks, but after listening to it too much, it didn't seem to be the same thing, there was no imaginary irritability, but it was very comfortable, and he could still hear the sincerity between the words of thanks.
I really don't get tired of hearing polite words for a long time.
"This time there were more supplies than last time, there were 200 tons, all of them 60 mortar shells"
patted the ammunition box behind him, Luo Yun introduced.
Providing a large number of 60 mortar shells is a request from an independent regiment, this kind of demand, Luo Yun naturally meets all of them, for him, this matter is just a little experience, now his experience value is approaching the 500,000 mark, and the cost of opening the box is drizzle.
Brother Nuo thanked him again, and the continuous thanks made Luo Yun not know how to reply for a while.
"Next time, it's half a year later, and it's also two hundred tons of shells, a total of three batches, but it's 200 tons here, you have no problem transporting it" Helpless, Luo Yun could only take care of the next transportation of materials, and at the same time cared about the transportation problem. A thousand boxes can be opened together to get about 550 tons of shells, plus the ones that were opened before, there are a total of 60 mortar shells and 600 tons in his warehouse, just three batches are finished.
A ton of 60 mortars, including wooden boxes, had about 700 rounds.
As for the side tasks, the hundreds of thousands of tons of grain in the warehouse are enough.
"I have set up a transport brigade with 1,000 people, and we will work a little more day and night, and we can get it done in a few days," Zhang Nuoyan replied while directing the transport team to carry the materials.

In mid-February, the weather was still bitterly cold.
Jinchaji base area.
119th Division Headquarters, Shijiaozi Mountain.
"The expansion of the army has been completed"
The division commander stood on the stage, holding a notebook in his hand, and made a meeting report to everyone in the conference room, his tone was relaxed.
What a change! The division commander sighed in his heart.
At this time, the conference room was already quite crowded, and there were more than 30 cadres at the regimental and brigade levels, including the commander and chief of staff of the 344 Brigade, the commanders of the three main regiments, the commanders of the three teaching regiments, the commanders of the cavalry battalions directly under the division headquarters, the leaders of the three independent self-defense forces, and the representatives of two township guerrilla units. Thirty-nine people in total. The meeting was one of the most extravagant ever. Four months ago, when the division headquarters held its first meeting here, there were only 19 people, including the division commander himself.
"Although the expansion plan was a little unexpected, it was generally successful"
"The three main regiments of the 344 Brigade originally planned to expand the army by 2,100 people, but because the people enthusiastically joined the army, the actual expansion of the army to 3,000 people per regiment was much more than the actual one, but considering the current situation in the division, this is also a good thing"
"The 600 backbone veterans supported by the 29th Division of the fraternal army have been transferred to the three main regiments, so the combat effectiveness of the three regiments can still be guaranteed at present."
"In terms of weapons, the demand can also be met, the main regiment can achieve a new 38 big cover per man, a platoon is equipped with two Czechs, and each regiment has an independent artillery company"
The division commander had a flower-like smile on his face, and this accident was a pleasant one.
Although the horse-drawn cart transport team with high route requirements could not continue because of the attention of the devils, the mountain walker wheelbarrow and mule and horse still traveled freely between the independent regiment and the headquarters of the 119th Division, rain or shine, and even grew stronger and stronger.
"The division currently has 60 mortars and 100 guns"
"And in a few moments, 50 mortars will be transported at one time, so the independent artillery regiment will be on the agenda, and I have sent a report to Zhao Dalong, the former artillery captain who stayed in Yan, to go to our place, accompanied by more than 50 former artillery team members."
"They'll be able to reach the base in twenty years."
"With these seeds, the progress of the construction of the artillery battery can be accelerated a lot"
"In the near future, the teaching regiment can focus on looking for recruits with artillery potential, focusing on training, and the artillery regiment needs about 1,500 people, of which there is a gunner gap of about 30 people, and it must be prepared in advance."
“······”
In one sentence after another, the recent work of the 119th Division has become clearer and clearer.
In the conference room of the division headquarters, listening to the speech of the division commander, many cadres at the regiment and brigade level were also full of emotion in their hearts, and the changes in the 119th Division were completely visible to the naked eye, with the growth of the team, the improvement of equipment, and the abundance of materials. In a trance, overnight, the entire division changed from the previous bitter haha to Master Lin. The number one enemy of the past is seriously lacking in supplies and disappears. It all started with that deal with Independence.
"But the biggest problem we face right now"
"Serious shortage of transport capacity"
At this point, the division commander's tone that had been flat changed abruptly.
"The chief of staff went to talk to the overseas Chinese who provided the supplies, in order to maintain the secrecy of the transportation, he could only unload the goods around the independent regiment, so our materials must be transported from the independent regiment, the distance between the routes is 278 kilometers, and all are mountain roads, with the transportation speed of the mule and horse team, it takes half a month to go back and forth."
"Recently, the amount of supplies provided by overseas Chinese Luo Yun to the Independent Regiment has increased, and the Independent Regiment reports that they still have 210,000 mortar shells waiting for us to transport in the warehouse."
Hearing this, many brigade commanders immediately burst into surprise.
"So many shells?"
"Oh my goodness! 200,000 shells, we have fought hard in the past two months, dozens of ambushes, and only consumed more than 50,000 shells."
"No wonder you want to get an artillery regiment, I'm afraid it's enough to get an artillery brigade in the future."
And the words of the division commander continued to add to the surprise.
"210,000 more shells to follow"
"These shells are all prepared for us, a total of 410,000 shells, with a cumulative weight of 600 tons, with the current transportation capacity of our transport team, these will take two months to reach the division headquarters, and there are still tens of thousands of tons of grain about to arrive there."
"So I intend to form a 4000 Rao transport brigade dedicated to transportation from the 1st separate regiment to the division headquarters, and this transport brigade is under the direct responsibility of the chief of staff"
