Li Yunlong asked: "Lao Ding, you have just taken office, how many weapons and ammunition can you get for the horses and equipment of a cavalry company?" ”

"I can't get my weapons and ammunition right now." Ding Wei said, "However, I can make an IOU." ”

The newly formed Second Regiment also belonged to the basic regiment, and the headquarters used the 600 guns that Li Yunlong handed over to the brigade headquarters, and the brigade headquarters took out another 200 guns.

Some backbones were drawn from each regiment and the new recruits were brought in by veterans, and the shelves of the new second regiment were erected in this way.

With 800 guns and more than 1,000 people, the new second regiment is good among the backbone regiments in terms of equipment and soldiers.

Of course, the headquarters just set up the backbone regiment for you, and then there will be no supply of weapons and ammunition, and there will be no replenishment of troops, so there is no restriction on the establishment, as long as you have the ability, it can grow to tens of thousands of people.

Ding Wei was also a little happy, he was preparing to take office, but he didn't expect to encounter such a good thing.

You have to have a cavalry company in your hand, and you won't change it for an infantry battalion.

After a pause, Ding Wei said again:

"Lao Li, I'll settle accounts for you, these 300 military horses look very good, but have you thought about it, how much food and forage do 300 military horses have to consume every day?"

"Each military horse consumes 5 catties of concentrate feed every day, and 300 military horses need 1,500 catties of grain in just one day, which is 45,000 catties a month."

"This does not include the 10 catties of forage that each military horse needs to consume every day."

"The food for 1 cavalry battalion is enough to feed 1 infantry regiment!"

"With the current situation of your new regiment, can you afford to raise 1 cavalry battalion?"

When Li Yunlong heard this, it was really like this, just thinking about forming a cavalry battalion, he really hadn't calculated this account.

With the current situation of the new regiment, a regiment of 2,000 people can still be self-sufficient, but it is impossible to add another regiment.

Ding Wei said again.

"So, I'm going to exchange a company's weapons and equipment for 100 military horses from you."

"As for Lao Kong, then you have to talk to him separately."

Li Yunlong thought for a moment, instead of letting the brigade commander fight the autumn breeze, it was better to change the equipment of a company.

You Ding Wei may earn blood, but our Lao Li will never lose.

Li Yunlong nodded: "Okay, then you write me an IOU." ”

Ding Wei saw that Li Yunlong agreed, so he took out a notebook from his pocket on the spot, and put a pen on the kang table to brush and write.

After writing, Ding Wei took the IOU and read:

"Today, Ding Wei borrowed 100 military horses from Li Yunlong's department, and in the future, he voluntarily took out a company's weapons and equipment as compensation.

Li Yunlong took the IOU and looked at it, and saw that there was no problem, so he carefully folded it and put it in his pocket.

After being full of wine and food, Ding Wei said goodbye to Li Yunlong.

Li Yunlong sent Ding Wei to the entrance of the village.

The two agreed that after Ding Wei took up the post of commander of the new second regiment, they would immediately send someone to the new regiment to lead the army.

Li Yunlong also said that if he wanted to give Ding Wei a cavalry company's saber for nothing, Ding Wei naturally thanked him repeatedly.

After sending Ding Wei away, Li Yunlong returned to the inner room of the regiment headquarters.

immediately picked up the phone and shook the handle at the same time: "Hey, this is a new group, please pick me up the independent group." ”

Dayizhuang, independent regimental headquarters.

Regiment Commander Kong Jie was listening to the first battalion commander Guan Dashan report on the casualties and captures of yesterday's ambush.

This ambush made Kong Jie a small fortune, seizing more than 30,000 catties of grain, more than 130 rifles, 5 light and heavy machine guns, and more than 10,000 rounds of ammunition.

The phone on the table rang suddenly, and Kong Jie picked it up casually and put it to his ear: "Hey! ”

"Lao Kong!" Li Yunlong said on the phone, "It's me, Li Yunlong." ”

"Lao Li?" Kong Jie was surprised, "What are you looking for me?" ”

Li Yunlong: "Lao Kong, hurry up and send the 3 machine guns I gave you a few days ago, as well as the god pitcher Wang Gensheng you said, to the new regimental headquarters, and I won't ask for bullets!" ”

"I said Lao Li, you kid is not sick, right? How do you talk nonsense? ”

Suddenly, Kong Jie seemed to think of something, and hurriedly said, "What, Lao Li, do you want to repay the debt?" I'm telling you, do you want to pay the bill? No way! ”

Li Yunlong: "I'll exchange 100 military horses with you." ”

"100 horses, my God!" Kong Jie hurriedly asked, "Where did you get so many military horses?" ”

So, Li Yunlong told the story of a battalion that traveled more than 50 kilometers to Wanjia Town and robbed the military horses.

"Okay, Lao Li!" Kong Jie smiled, "When Lao Tzu asked you a few days ago, you kid hid it. ”

"Give me a happy word, will you change it?"

"I'll change!" Kong Jie said, "This time, count me Kong Jie and owe you a big favor Li Yunlong!" ”

With 3 machine guns and a god pitcher for 100 military horses, Kong Jie knew that he had made a lot of money.

Kong Jie has always disliked owing favors to others.

However, Li Yunlong gave too much this time.

Li Yunlong snorted and said: "You Lao Kong owes me a lot of favors, just like that, when will you send someone over to lead the army and horses, call me and say it." ”

Kong Jie said: "Okay! ”

After speaking, Li Yunlong hung up the phone.

Immediately, Li Yunlong called the guard Huang Erhu and issued an order for the whole regiment to march to Yang Village.

Zhengjia Village is less than 10 kilometers away from Yang Village, and the new regiment completed the change of garrison on the same day.

The first battalion of the new regiment, the guard platoon and the regimental headquarters were stationed in Yang Village, while the second and third battalions were stationed in villages not far from Yang Village.

The morning after arriving in Yang Village, the telephone of the new regiment headquarters rang.

Li Yunlong picked it up casually and put it to his ear and said hello, and the brigade commander's laughter rang out: "Li Yunlong, I congratulate you on making a fortune!" ”

Through the telephone line, Li Yunlong seemed to be able to see the smile on the brigade commander's face.

"What a fortune!" Li Yunlong held back a smile, "Brigade commander, I can't even open the pot if I'm poor." ”

The brigade commander smiled: "Can this thing be hidden from my eyes?" ”

"I'll tell you the truth, I found out yesterday!"

"Tell me honestly, how much benefit did you get in Wanjia Town this time?"

"Not much, just horses and equipment for a cavalry battalion." Li Yunlong said, "I'm going to make a cavalry battalion." ”

The brigade commander said: "Look at what you can, you want to make a cavalry battalion in one regiment, so should I make a cavalry regiment in one brigade?" ”

"For your reputation, Brigadier." Li Yunlong said, "There are not many cavalry divisions. ”

The brigade commander said: "Don't talk nonsense, you leave a company of horse equipment for yourself, and the rest of the horse equipment will be sent to the headquarters for me, and I will not be allowed to discount it!" ”

Li Yunlong said secretly, it is still the original recipe, and it is still a familiar taste.

"What are you doing, brigade commander, robbing?" Li Yunlong said cooperatively, "No, no, this is absolutely not good, you can just shoot me!" ”

"Don't want to, do you?" The brigade commander said with a smile, "Then we have to talk about your unauthorized transfer of a battalion of troops, whether I will report to the headquarters to investigate the responsibility for your unauthorized transfer of troops, or obediently send the horses and equipment to the brigade headquarters, you can choose for yourself!" ”

"I recognize the brigade commander!" Li Yunlong said, "The official level crushes people to death, if you want to rob you, you will say it clearly, what are you doing with these excuses every time?" ”

Brigade Commander: "Don't talk nonsense, you will send someone to send me military horses and equipment to the brigade headquarters today." ”

"Brigadier Commander, you're a step too late." Li Yunlong said, "I gave away the horses and equipment of the two companies. ”

"What? Giving it away? The brigade commander's tone changed, "Who did you give all your horse equipment to?" ”

Li Yunlong: "I gave it to Ding Wei and Kong Jie, brigade commander, I gave the horses and equipment of each of the two old comrades-in-arms a cavalry company, isn't it too much?" ”

"Take two cavalry companies and send people? Li Yunlong, you are really generous! The brigade commander suppressed his anger and hung up the phone with a snap.

Listening to the blind voice coming from the telephone, Li Yunlong couldn't help but feel refreshed in his heart, the brigade commander robbed our old Li so many times, and finally ate a deflated one.
