At present, there are quite a few 386-mm mountain guns and 75-mm howitzers of the 105 brigade.

But there were only two 150-mm howitzers.

As for these two 150mm howitzers, Li Yunlong gave them to the brigade commander out of his own pocket for the sake of the brigade commander's superiors and subordinates.

Even the division commander had no reason to rob.

150-mm howitzers were a rarity in the Eighth Route Army, and 203-mm howitzers were even more unusual.

The howitzer regiment equipped with the headquarters and the howitzer battalion equipped with the new regiment have only about 70 150-mm howitzers in total.

And the 203-mm heavy howitzer is even less, a total of 16 units.

And almost all of them were equipped by the artillery units of the new regiment and the headquarters.

"It's too rich."

"Li Yunlong, this kid is simply too rich."

In addition to regretting, the brigade commander couldn't help but say with emotion.

The strength of the new regiment is probably about to surpass that of the 386 brigade.

In half a year at most, when the expansion of the new regiment is completed and the expanded units form combat effectiveness, the strength of the new regiment is estimated to exceed that of the 386 brigade.

Don't look at the 386 Brigade is just a brigade, but there are several reinforced regiments, including the Taiyue Military Region and the 772 Regiment.

Even the Independent Regiment and the New Second Regiment in the northwest of Jin were subordinate to the 386 Brigade.

Today, the 386 Brigade has the strongest combat effectiveness and Kong Jie's independent regiment and Ding Wei's new second regiment.

The combined number of mortars and mountain artillery of these two regiments has long exceeded the level of an artillery brigade.

After the two brothers Ding Wei and Kong Jie arrived in the northwest of Shanxi, they followed Li Yunlong to make a lot of money, and they became prosperous.

"Or ......"

Deputy Brigade Commander Han advised:

"Brigade commander, you can apply to the head of the headquarters to change the structure of the new regiment to our 386 brigade."

"In this way, every time Li Yunlong hands in combat materials in the future, he will go through our brigade headquarters, and then the division headquarters and headquarters."

"It's like holding pork in our hands, even if we give it away, then our hands are still covered with oil."

"Of course, the big head is still the division headquarters and the headquarters, let's take the small head is better than nothing."

"I'm sure the division commander will definitely agree."

The brigade commander shook his head and said, "If the head of the headquarters disagrees, what's the use of the division commander agreeing?" ”

"The head of the headquarters will definitely not agree." Chief of Staff Zhou said, "Now Li Yunlong directly handed over half of the things to the headquarters, if it is changed back to the new regiment to belong to our 386 brigade, then what Li Yunlong handed over will have to go through the 386 brigade headquarters and the 129th division headquarters, which is equivalent to a middleman making the difference, and the head of the headquarters knows this account better than us." ”

The brigade commander sighed, watching Li Yunlong continuously hand over 150-mm howitzers, heavy tanks, 203-mm heavy howitzers and combat materials to the headquarters, and his heart felt like a cat scratching.

Originally, just one phone call to say Wishing you prosperity to Fa Cai could get half of the weapons and equipment.

Now, I can only stare dryly.

"It's all my fault, I didn't look at the problem from a long-term perspective, and only one artillery regiment let Li Yunlong return to the direct command of the headquarters."

Brigade Commander Chen couldn't help but sigh.

150mm howitzers, heavy tanks, 203mm heavy howitzers, all good things.

In the future, there may be planes and warships......

Thinking that Li Yunlong would fight in the future, the sky was roaring, the ground heavy artillery was roaring, and the tanks were overwhelming, and their 386 Brigade was still playing millet plus rifles.

The brigade commander felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, but he couldn't blame others, who let him be blinded by lard in the first place?

"Brigade Commander!" Deputy Brigade Commander Han relieved, "Don't blame yourself too much, it's a good thing for Li Yunlong to get rich, Li Yunlong's consciousness is very high now, and all his starting points are for this country and this suffering nation." ”

The brigade commander nodded, feeling much better.

The boss Chen behind Li Yunlong did not choose others as the object of assistance, but chose Li Yunlong.

It shows that Li Yunlong has advantages that others do not have.

Li Yunlong's starting point for making a fortune was not to eat, drink, and enjoy, nor to be promoted to make a fortune, and even in order to obtain continuous assistance, Li Yunlong voluntarily did not get promoted, and has been the head of the new regiment.

Otherwise, with Li Yunlong's prestige and military exploits, he is now at least at the level of column commander and commander of a military region.

"Report, Kong Jie, the head of the Independent Regiment, sent a telegram!"

A telegraph soldier from the brigade headquarters held the telegram in his hand, walked into the brigade headquarters quickly, and gave a military salute.

"Give it to me."

Deputy Brigade Commander Han took the telegram from the telegraph soldier and read it.

The telegraph operator turned and left.

The telegram was two pages long, and the further back I looked, the curvature of the corners of Deputy Brigade Commander Han's mouth became bigger and bigger.

The first page is Kong Jie's report on the results and losses of the three counties in the offensive defense area.

In such a big battle as attacking three county towns, Kong Jie and Ding Wei naturally had to ask the brigade headquarters for instructions and only dare to attack after obtaining the consent of the brigade headquarters.

The second page of the message is that Kong Jie wants to hand over four 150-mm howitzers and four 37-mm anti-aircraft guns.

300 submachine guns and 900 tons of grain, Kong Jie did not hand them in, and explained them in the telegram.

"Old Han."

"What did Kong Jie say, smiling so happily?"

"Kong Jie, that kid won't hand in a 150mm howitzer, will he?"

The brigade commander picked up the porcelain cup and drank a sip of cold boiled water.

Chief of Staff Zhou guessed: "I guess it should be the Independent Regiment that successfully recovered the three county towns in the defense area, and the results were great and the casualties were small." ”

"You all guessed right."

Deputy Brigade Commander Han laughed.

"Guessed it all right?"

The brigade commander was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes opened slightly: "Kong Jie handed in the 150mm howitzer?" ”

As for the recovery of the three county towns in the defense area, the brigade commander did not care too much about it.

This is not the first time that these three county towns have been recovered, and with the combat effectiveness of the current independent regiment, it is not difficult to recover these three county seats.

Seeing that Deputy Brigade Commander Han nodded affirmatively, the smile on the corner of the brigade commander's mouth instantly bloomed.

Seeing that Deputy Brigade Commander Han was smiling so happily, the brigade commander asked casually, but he didn't expect Kong Jie to really hand over the 150mm howitzer.

Chief of Staff Zhou on the side also looked incredulous, Kong Jie also earned a 150mm howitzer? And the redundant to hand over to the brigade department?

The brigade commander's breathing was slightly short: "How many?" ”

"4 150-mm howitzers, plus 4 37-mm anti-aircraft guns."

"Ammunition is three bases."

"The delivery time is two days later, and the location is Yangcun Airport."

Deputy Brigade Commander Han handed the two telegrams to the brigade commander, and the brigade commander picked them up and read them.

"Doing business in partnership with Li Yunlong?"

On the telegram, Kong Jie roughly explained the matter of partnering with Li Yunlong to do business on the telegram, but because the telegram was like gold, there were only one or two sentences, but the brigade commander and the others could completely understand and understand.

Since Kong Jie can partner with Li Yunlong to do business, then Ding Wei ......

Ding Wei is also attacking the three county towns in the defense area of the new second regiment this time, does he also have a business, and earn 8 150mm howitzers and 37mm anti-aircraft guns?

The brigade commander suddenly thought of something and said loudly: "Send a telegram to the new second regiment immediately......"

At this moment, the telegraph corpsman hurried into the brigade headquarters again, holding the telegram in his hand.

"Report, Ding Wei, the head of the new second regiment, sent a telegram!"

The brigade commander stepped forward quickly, took the telegram from the telegraph soldier and looked at it.

The telegram sent by Ding Wei was similar to the telegram sent by the Independent Regiment, which was also to report on the recovery of three county towns in the defense area, as well as the contents of four 150-mm howitzers and four 37-mm anti-aircraft guns handed over to the brigade headquarters.

After reading Ding Wei's telegram, the brigade commander finally couldn't hold back and couldn't help laughing.

The previous regret is not to say that it has been swept away, but it has also dissipated most of it.

Eight 150-mm howitzers and eight 37-mm anti-aircraft guns will allow the 386 Brigade to expand into a howitzer battalion and an anti-aircraft artillery battalion.

The telegram said it very clearly.

Ding Wei and Kong Jie can also do business, although they are in partnership with Li Yunlong, but most of the heads are Ding Wei and Kong Jie's, and their business Li Yunlong is just making up the numbers.

Li Yunlong has a bigger and more business.

"Old Zhou!" The brigade commander looked at Chief of Staff Zhou, "Immediately call back to the New Second Regiment and the Independent Regiment, on the one hand, to reward them, and on the other hand, to encourage them to do more business with the New First Regiment." ”

The brigade commander thought to himself, he let Li Yunlong go last time, and this time he must not let Ding Wei and Kong Jie go!

Compared with a hammer deal, it is still a long-term business.

The richer Ding Wei and Kong Jie are, the richer the 386 Brigade Headquarters will be.

"Yes!" With a smile on his face, Chief of Staff Zhou drafted two telegrams with similar contents, which the brigade commander signed and handed over to the telegraph soldiers to send.

"Today is really a double happiness!"

"Xiao Wu, take all my allowance to buy meat, let's have a banquet at the brigade headquarters today, I'll treat you!"

The brigade commander called the guard Xiao Wu, and the brigade headquarters hurriedly ran out to buy meat after receiving the order.

Two days later.

Yangcun Airport.

Early in the morning.

The brigade commander, deputy brigade commander Han and Chief of Staff Zhou took the transport team of the 386 Brigade and waited at the airport to receive the goods.

Although both Ding Wei and Kong Jie had to hand in four 150-mm howitzers and four 37-mm anti-aircraft guns, they did not specify the time.

And it was delivered at the same time, so the brigade commander and they came early to wait.

Until noon, 8 150-mm howitzers, 8 37-mm anti-aircraft guns and 3 base shells arrived.

A few hours later, the brigade commander, Deputy Brigade Commander Han and Chief of Staff Zhou returned to the brigade headquarters, and the accompanying transport team also transported 150-mm howitzers and 37-mm anti-aircraft guns, as well as shells from 3 bases.

"Good new howitzer."

Chief of Staff Zhou knocked on the barrel of the cannon, and said in a crisp voice:

"The steel of this 150mm howitzer is of excellent quality, and this cannon is a German product, so it should be imported from Germany."

Deputy Brigade Commander Han asked several artillerymen to check the barrel of the gun and said: "No inscription was found, and I don't know which country produced it." ”

"It doesn't matter which country produces it."

"In the hands of our Eighth Route Army, as long as it can be started."

Looking at these 8 150-mm howitzers and 8 37-mm anti-aircraft guns, the corners of the brigade commander's mouth turned up, and he didn't put it down for a long time.

However, another few hours passed.

The division commander said to the brigade commander on the phone: "Chen Geng, I congratulate you on making a fortune, hand over four of your eight 150-mm howitzers, and I want to make a 150-millimeter howitzer battalion." ”

Brigadier: "......"
