Chapter 50: The Yang Conspiracy in Chongqing

Li Yunlong went to Chongqing, Wang Yue was a little excited, and he didn't stay in the northwest of Jinxi for more, but returned to 2023, in just half a month, he emptied most of the arms inventory in his hand, he had to go back to Tasha to replenish the goods, even if he could only teleport to Chongqing in the future, he still had a thousand cubic meters of system space, and he could transport a lot of things at a time, and the deal with the Eighth Route Army would not be completely abandoned, but he couldn't be as frantic as now.

Yes, it's crazy, when Zhang Wanhe saw the small 300,000 tons of materials this time, he almost cried, 300,000 tons, and almost all of them are grain, good fine grain, with these, the Eighth Route Army will not be short of food within two years, and the people in the base area can breathe a sigh of relief.

When Wang Yue returned to 1940 and met Li Yunlong again, it was already mid-July, at this time Li Yunlong and the 1000th Regiment had arrived in Chongqing for more than a month, Li Yunlong went to school every day, and the troops were arranged by the Ministry of Military Affairs to be stationed in Qijiang County, south of Chongqing.

I have to say that Chongqing's face project is still doing a good job, the 1000 regiment was not arranged to the corner of Qijiang County, but directly put in Qijiang County, but was directly placed in Qijiang County, but the 15th and 16th recruit training offices (division-level units) stationed in Qijiang County were driven out and stationed on the periphery of the county, but the face was beautiful, but in fact, the 1000 regiment that was good at field sports warfare was raised in captivity in the city, and two division-level units were placed on the periphery, and two divisions looked at a regiment. It can be seen that the Ministry of Military Affairs is quite jealous of Li Yunlong and the 1000th Regiment.

At the beginning, Li Yunlong didn't think it was too wrong, after all, they had to do it if they were themselves, this is Chongqing, no matter how careful they are, but there was a problem again when they entered the city, because the 1000 regiment was short of 12 tanks and 9 3-inch guns, the Ministry of Military Affairs raised an objection and informed Li Yunlong that they needed to investigate, and until the matter was investigated, the distribution of funds and materials for the 1000 regiment would be suspended, but he still comforted Li Yunlong very kindly and asked him not to worry. As long as they verify that General Chen's side has indeed agreed with northern Shaanxi, they can immediately reissue it.

At the beginning, Li Yunlong also felt that this was nothing, after all, in order to "compensate" the 1000 regiment, the Qijiang County Government even gave up the city gate tax to the 1000 regiment, which was already very sincere, but after more than a month, the Ministry of Military Affairs was still investigating, and the city gate tax in Qijiang County could not support the 5,000 people of the 1000 regiment at all, there was really no way, the devil had bombed the county seat before, and many people in the city had run away, where to collect taxes.

"Wait, Lao Li, are you stupid at reading? When did the 1000 regiment have five thousand people? The Ministry of Military Affairs does not allow the expansion of troops at will. Wang Yue exclaimed, Li Yunlong, this guy is worthy of Li Yunlong, even if he arrives in Chongqing, he will not stop, you have 5,000 people in one regiment, is it strange that the Ministry of Military Affairs can give you a good face?

"That, in fact, Lao Li rescued a prisoner of war named Wei Dayong after leaving the base area, and then took the prisoner of war camp used by the Raushzi Yamamoto special team to train, and rescued more than 10,000 prisoners of war, all of whom were veterans, Lao Li and I were reluctant, so we picked 2,000 people as civilian husbands to help the troops transport supplies, and followed them all the way to Chongqing." It was the deputy head of the 1000 regiment who spoke, in view of the fact that Li Yunlong had to go to class every day, and Zhao Gang was not a military cadre, so the headquarters assigned an experienced deputy regiment commander to the 1000 regiment, who was also an old acquaintance, that is, Cheng Shifa, the former commander of the 772nd regiment who had not yet recovered from his injuries.

"The two thousand people are still veterans, so the Ministry of Military Affairs didn't say anything?" Wang Yue was puzzled, when did the Ministry of Military Affairs speak so well, five thousand veterans, are you sure that the two recruit divisions outside the city can stop it?

"Mr. Wang, don't listen to the two of them, the Ministry of Military Affairs has made it clear that it will not provide supplies for those people, so the food, drink and Lazar of these two thousand people have to be solved by our 100 regiment, which is equivalent to adding another burden to the 1000 regiment, don't you know, this month, the only one who can eat enough for the 1000 regiment is Li Yunlong." Zhao Gang on the side saw Li Yunlong and Cheng Shifa smug when they mentioned that the 1000 regiment had 5,000 soldiers, and he couldn't help complaining on the side, this month, he racked his brains for the food of the troops, and felt that the whole person was going to be bad.

"Lao Zhao, it's a shame for you to say this, our Lao Li doesn't eat in the group in the morning and evening, just eats in the school, isn't it just to save you some chewing, besides, if you don't agree to increase the city gate tax, we won't be full?" Li Yunlong was anxious all of a sudden, it turned out that because Zhao Gang had always insisted that the troops collect the city gate tax according to the rules, it was also a reason for their dismal income.

"Lao Li, how much is the tax at the city gate, the government has regulations, and others can collect it casually, but our Eighth Route Army can't do it, if we collect it indiscriminately, it will be to exploit the people, levy it arbitrarily, and do not collect taxes indiscriminately, that is the resolution of the Southern Bureau, I am just supervising your implementation!" Zhao Gang stood up suddenly, obviously dissatisfied with Li Yunlong's accusation.

"Lao Li, don't talk about Lao Zhao, it's you who insists on giving porridge to the homeless people every day, there are 10,000 homeless people and beggars in this city, you raise so many people, it's strange that the soldiers can eat well, now don't talk about daily training, when there is no patrol, the soldiers don't even dare to walk around, they all lie honestly in the barracks, isn't it just to save some food?" Cheng Shifa on the side couldn't help complaining, it's been a month, the number of days the troops have been out for exercises is less than 10 days, and there is no daily training at all.

"How did I know that the white dog would be so damaged, taking advantage of our coming, we went to the city to drive so many Liu Min and beggars, and they are all young and middle-aged, and they can eat very much one by one, we are the Eighth Route Army, let me watch the people starve to death, I can't do it! Your old Cheng is also a hard-mouthed goods, when did you not go to the scene to stare at the porridge for the people? Li Yunlong glanced at Cheng Shifa and said indignantly.

"I've been talking for a long time, how did you live this month?" Wang Yue also said curiously, I have to say that you really can't say anything wrong with the approach of the Ministry of Military Affairs, every step is an upright conspiracy, there is no conspiracy at all, but there is no money and no materials, and you have to raise so many mouths, how did Li Yunlong do it?

"Brother Wang, this is still thanks to you, do you remember that you gave us hundreds of Mauser rifles in early May? I asked the comrades of the underground party to help sell it, and I got 23,400 oceans, plus 1,000 oceans sent by the Southern Bureau, it can still last for a while, and then in the future, there are still some German machine guns and small cannons, which are not on the record, and they can be sold if they can't be sold, as long as they can keep the soldiers and ordinary people from starving, our Lao Li will not be over! Li Yunlong had a smile on his face, but he was bitter in his heart, if there was no way, what soldier would be willing to exchange precious weapons for food, although those guns were not new guns, but they were also good things.

"Lao Li, there are hundreds of guns, it is impossible for the military commander not to know, look at it, when the inspection is carried out at the end of the year, you will feel good!" Zhao Gang on the side couldn't help but remind, obviously, people are waiting for you to do this, although the people in the city threw it to you, but the gendarmes of the third garrison area are patrolling every day, what is that for, isn't it just waiting for the 1000 regiment to make a mistake?

"Then I can't let people starve to death before the inspection!" Li Yunlong stiffened his neck and drank to quench his thirst, although he knew that this would not work, but they had no choice.

"Lao Li, are weapons easy to sell in Chongqing?" Wang Yue couldn't help but ask, shouldn't it, this is the national control area, guns and ammunition should not be difficult to obtain, shouldn't the competition be fierce?

"Brother Wang, you don't know this, Qijiang County is located at the junction of the two provinces, and the south is your province, there are a lot of bandits in this border and that robe, all of them need weapons, and they all have money, so this arms business is really good, our people go out for a circle, at least there will be a few waves of people who want to buy guns in the hands of soldiers." Li Yunlong is a little pity, it would be great if he could fight devils or suppress bandits, he could get some weapons and come back, otherwise he couldn't get in and out, and this business wouldn't last long.

"Mr. Wang, don't listen to Lao Li's nonsense, those guys in the city are not good people, the comrades of the Southern Bureau have investigated, all of them are people from the military command and the central command, and the reason why they buy our weapons at a high price is to win over and corrupt our team." Zhao Gang on the side couldn't help but smile bitterly, compared with Li Yunlong and Cheng Shifa, the ideological work of the soldiers had obviously encountered great challenges.

"High price? How much can they contribute? Wang Yue is getting more and more interested, Nima, buy weapons with cash and pay back the high price, he wants to ask that Director Dai now, "Boss, do you have enough money in your hand?" ”

"A rifle is 100 oceans, a light machine gun is 600 oceans, a heavy machine gun is 1,500 oceans, a mortar 45mm is also 1,500 oceans, and a 120mm mortar costs 10,000 oceans, and the price is almost 20% higher than the market price." When it came to this price, Li Yunlong was also staggered for a while, it was a good deal, this was much happier than the rich people of Jin Province.

"The 6.5mm Carcano rifle cartridge is not easy to get in Chongqing, right?" Wang Yue dragged his chin and continued to ask.

"It's not easy to get it, the Ministry of Military Affairs doesn't provide this kind of bullet, but when I came, I didn't bring less, there are 500,000 rounds, plus the soldiers' portable ammunition, it can be used for a long time." Li Yunlong has obviously thought about this issue for a long time.

"This is not good, relying on this ammunition, not to mention military operations, even daily training is a problem." Wang Yue shook his head, if this continues, with a multi-pronged approach, the 1000 regiment will really be wasted.

"That, Brother Wang, do you have a way?" Li Yunlong blushed, staring at Wang Yuedao, and said that Brother Wang asked so much, there must be a follow-up.
