Chapter 2 1000 regiments
The temporary station of the new regiment of Xiaolizhuang
The brigade commander and Li Yunlong were lying on the turret of the No. 1 tank to inspect, the tank brigade commander was not the first time he had seen it, but it was also the first time he had seen such an advanced tank as the No. 1 tank, with excellent workmanship, strong protection, and fierce firepower, and it was absolutely crushing the little devil's tank.
"Cangyunling is almost one hundred and fifty hundred miles from Xiaolizhuang, is there still fuel?" The brigade commander really likes this tank, and the base area is not all mountainous, and with the tank, the devils will need to gather more troops in the future to sweep up, which is a very troublesome thing for the devils who are overstretched, which is equivalent to increasing the difficulty level of the Japanese army in maintaining law and order.
Although there is only one tank, it can make the devils in the entire Jin Province uncomfortable, which is considered a strategic weapon, of course, provided that this tank can still be driven.
"Yes! After coming back, the tank's fuel tank was replenished, it was full, and it could run three hundred miles, Wang Yue's kid said, you can mix a little more alcohol into it, it's okay, run the same! Li Yunlong replied with a careful smile, he had already heard the rumors, this time his disobedience on the battlefield was very big, although it was not directly shot, but the punishment was certain, and now the brigade commander is here, it is estimated that it is for this matter.
"Wang Yue, it's the guy who sold your tank, what is the origin of this person, do you know what?" The brigade commander asked while checking the wear and tear of the tracks, he was surprised, this is actually a new tank, and the tank parts are very light in wear, which is strange, even if there is such a tank on the national side, it shouldn't be so new.
"Brigade commander, he said that he is a returned overseas Chinese, and he will come here just to do some small business, sell some needles and threads or something." Li Yunlong has been testing the other party a lot in the past few days, but he hasn't received any positive answers at all, and when the brigade commander asked, he really didn't know how to reply.
"The needle and thread brain, as soon as he opens his mouth, it is a hundred thousand oceans of business, he calls this a needle and thread brain?" The brigade commander laughed angrily, in fact, after receiving this information, the Ministry of Social Affairs launched an investigation, but nothing was found, the other party seemed to have fallen from the sky, and there was no trace of it, but the other party was able to get a tank to Jin Province, and the energy behind this was obviously huge.
"No, buy so much, in fact, this account has been cleared, and all we owe to Brother Wang now is a hundred small yellow croaker." Li Yunlong said a little embarrassed on the side, judging from this expression, he himself felt a little inauthentic.
"Then what did your kid use to fool people over, don't think that Lao Tzu doesn't know, your kid's pocket is cleaner than his face, not to mention 100,000 oceans, ten oceans may not be able to take out." The brigade commander is surprised, he can make Li Yunlong embarrassed, it seems that this deal must be very profitable.
"A few days ago, the Heyuan County Brigade was transporting materials to the base area, and Brother Wang of Xiaoli Zhuang passed by and saw it, he was very interested in a few medicinal materials, so I exchanged it from Zhang Wan and the old boy with two thousand border tickets, and Brother Wang was happy and gave me the IOU." Li Yunlong replied in a low voice, he didn't dare to tell the brigade commander that he had secretly ordered a batch of other weapons, a hundred small yellow croaker, and he didn't even specify the type, so he arrogantly let the other party look at it and buy it.
"Medicinal herbs? Li Yunlong! The base area is also in urgent need of medicinal materials now, you actually dare, Lao Zhang is too, how can you let it, this is a mistake, a serious mistake! The brigade commander hated that iron could not become steel, and his first reaction was that Li Yunlong resold a batch of wound medicine urgently needed in the base area.
"Brigade commander, you misunderstood, it was the county brigade that robbed the devil's convoy, and robbed a batch of cordyceps, ginseng, bezoar, etc., and transported it back to let the base area watch and deal with it, adding up to more than 100 catties, which is not worth much." Li Yunlong hurriedly explained.
"Herbs? Where are the herbs gone, can you exchange them for tanks? For those things you said, can you get a machine gun? The brigade commander pointed his horsewhip at the other party, with an expression of the ghost I believe in you.
"Brother Wang said that he likes this kind of medicinal material, and the price difference should be regarded as supporting us, not only this time, but also in the future, he can continue to do this business with us, what kind of cordyceps, no, it is cordyceps, five catties can be exchanged for a small steel cannon, with thirty shells." Li Yunlong scratched his head.
"Cannon? Didn't you say what model it was? One cannon, thirty shells, what cordyceps is so valuable? The brigade commander was shocked, the firepower of the Eighth Route Army was seriously insufficient, and they were eager for anything that had anything to do with artillery, the problem was that no matter what aspect it was, they were blocking the base area, and they did not want the Eighth Route Army to obtain heavy weapons.
"In Heyuan County, a catty of Cordyceps is about six to eight oceans, it is said to be a tonic, produced on the plateau, as for the cannon, Brother Wang left us a door, or, you can take a look?"
"Quick! Lead the way, such an important thing, why didn't you say it earlier! The brigade commander kicked Li Yunlong with a gesture.
Li Yunlong took the brigade commander and came to a very large courtyard, in the courtyard, the artillery squad leader Wang Chengzhu was explaining something to a group of soldiers, and on the table in front of him was a small mortar.
"Is this a grenadier?" The brigade commander looked at it for a long time, but he couldn't recognize what kind of gun this was, the processing was very exquisite, the inscription was still Italian, and the caliber was smaller than the devil's grenadier canister, but there was a strong gun mount, it should be regarded as a cannon, right?
"Report to the brigade commander, this is the M35 45mm mortar of the Noodle Country, the gun weighs 25 catties, the ammunition weighs 12 taels, the firing range is 500 to 600 yards, and it can fire 20-30 rounds a minute." Li Yunlong gave Wang Chengzhu a look, and the latter immediately reported loudly.
"How does it compare with the devil's Type 89 grenadier?" The brigade commander nodded, judging from the data reported by Wang Chengzhu, it was still good, and he was very satisfied.
"The power is a little worse, much heavier than the grenadier, but the range is about the same, but this thing is more accurate than the grenadier, and it is simple to use, unlike the grenadier shooter who relies on experience, as for the rate of fire is not slow, the most important thing is that this gun is not loaded from the muzzle, it is loaded from below, so it can be fired directly, and it is more convenient than the grenadier when dealing with the devil's firepower point, and some not very strong masonry fortifications can also be hit!" Wang Chengzhu continued to introduce, and while introducing, he also gave a loading demonstration.
The regiment commander has already said that in the future, he can get ten of these small cannons for the new regiment, so that his side can hurry up and train the gunners, and he, Wang Chengzhu, will no longer have to guard a cannon as a squad leader.
"This cannonball is indeed a bit small, hey, why is there a pull ring on the cannonball?" The brigade commander took out a shell from a small box on one side and looked at it, it was a standard ammunition box, a box of thirty shells.
"Brigade commander, you tap, this shell can be used directly as a grenade, and it is much more powerful than our grenade." Wang Chengzhu carefully removed the brigade commander's finger from the pull ring, and scolded in his heart, how can this brigade commander be the same as the regiment commander, he is so bold, fortunately, he didn't think about it this time.
"It's really not expensive to have a few dozen oceans, can you contact the other party to buy more?" The brigade commander was moved, this is a firepower that can shoot directly, although it is not very powerful, but it is still a threat to some shoddy turrets, and it can pose a huge threat to the devils.
"It's not dozens of oceans, it's five catties of cordyceps, ginseng, bezoar, safflower, dog treasure, Hetian jade, and jadeite can all be discounted, but people don't want money." Li Yunlong reminded on the side.
"It's just forcing us to help them purchase these things, it's not expensive anyway, didn't he say how much he could get?" The brigade commander calculated that the price was not to mention that it was bought, that is, the military factory made it itself, and the cost could not be lowered.
"Brigade commander, Brother Wang said, at least a thousand doors, as long as we get Cordyceps." Li Yunlong returned, he was a military commander, and he knew what it meant that this weapon could be equipped with the Eighth Route Army on a large scale, which was equivalent to raising the combat effectiveness of the entire Eighth Route Army to a higher level.
"One thousand, which means that each regiment of our Eighth Route Army is equipped with no less than ten, no, I have to report to the headquarters immediately!" The brigade commander said and took the guards to leave.
"Brigade commander, then I-" Li Yunlong couldn't help but shout to the brigade commander, didn't he say that he would punish me, why did he have to leave?
Hearing Li Yunlong's words, the brigade commander also remembered, so he turned back again.
"This time, you are disobedient on the battlefield, the nature is bad, the impact is very bad, the headquarters has decided, you Li Yunlong will go to the end and go to the border area to be the director of the clothing factory." The brigade commander looked at Li Yunlong and smiled, with an expression that you kid had gotten away.
"Brigade commander, no, our old Li made a mistake, but we not only killed Sakata Nobuzhe, but also captured the wing flag of the Sakata Wing, and the casualties of the troops are not large, how can we be pushed to the end, let us be a company commander." The more Li Yunlong talked, the more aggrieved he became, like a wronged little daughter-in-law.
"Come on, don't be aggrieved, your mistake, this punishment is definitely not excessive, but you are indeed meritorious this time, and the flag of the wing was also sent to Chongqing, Mr. Chang is very happy, now, you Li Yunlong has been appointed as the colonel and regiment commander, and the department has been reorganized into the 1000th Regiment of the National Revolutionary Army, you are now an anti-Japanese hero, who dares to punish you." The brigade commander smiled angrily, since the start of the war, the national army has not captured a single devil's wing flag, Li Yunlong's results this time are absolutely earth-shattering, which greatly boosts the morale of the people.
In particular, in the battle of an infantry regiment against a field wing, killing the captain of the opposing wing and seizing the flag of the wing already meant humiliating the Japanese, and even comrades in the north called to inquire about the detailed battle situation, after all, they had also learned the strength of the Japanese army in Nomenkan, and it was said that some people suggested that Li Yunlong should go to the Frunze Military Academy for an exchange.
"Brigade commander, don't make fun of our Lao Li, what a bullshit colonel commander, it's better to give us two machine guns, as for the 1000 regiment, it's the same as a joke, when did the national army have such a number in the sequence?" Li Yunlong complained.
"Li Yunlong! You kid don't want to be cheap and sell well, the headquarters takes into account your impact on the current anti-Japanese situation, and also takes care of Mr. Chang's face, so this time I warn you in the party once, in addition, the new regiment and the independent regiment are merged and reorganized into the 1000th regiment of the National Revolutionary Army, after a while, there may be a commissioner from Chongqing who will come over and say that he will reward you with 100,000 legal currency, and the second war zone will also reward you with 1000 rifles, and in the future, your 1000 regiment will be the absolute main force of my 386 brigade. The brigade commander patted Li Yunlong on the shoulder, although he was also very dissatisfied with this guy, but it was also very gratifying to see that this guy could improve.
"Independent Regiment, isn't that Kong Jie's troops?" Li Yunlong said strangely.
"Compared with the Haxin First Regiment of the Independent Regiment, the development is lagging behind, and the headquarters is not satisfied, let Kong Jie give you the deputy head for a period of time, learn your ability to pull the team, as for the number of the Independent Regiment and the new First Regiment, it will be vacated first, and the troops will be transferred to rebuild it later."
"But—" Li Yunlong stopped when he wanted to speak.
"There are not so many, but, obey the order, move to Yang Village tomorrow, and join forces with the independent regiment to carry out the reorganization, and that tank, can you bring it over together?" The brigade commander became serious.
"Yes, a groom in the regiment headquarters learned from Brother Wang, and now it's no problem to drive."
"Groom? Li Yunlong, you-" The brigade commander doesn't know what to say, this guy.
