As soon as Zhang Dabiao and the others left, the telegraph operator took the telegram to Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang.

"The regiment commander, the political commissar, the brigade commander has sent a telegram!"

Li Yunlong took it and looked at it, then frowned and scolded:

"The brigade commander is too much, he is treating Lao Tzu as a rich man! Robbery! ”

When Zhao Gang heard this, he couldn't help but ask curiously:

"What did the brigade commander say?"

"Hmph, he asked me to prepare 20 guns, 3,000 shells, 300,000 rounds of ammunition, and he would send a battalion of troops to transport them."

"Good fellows! The brigade commander's hand is really not small!

What about the 50 company and platoon level cadres you want?

Did the brigade commander give it to you? ”

Zhao Gang was also frightened by the brigade commander's lion mouth.

20 guns are okay, Zhao Gang knows that the independent regiment can come up with it now, but those 3,000 shells and 300,000 rounds of ammunition are really not a small number!

Especially the bullets, although the independent regiment has now gained a wave of fat in Heyuan County, it may not have 300,000 rounds!

You must know that in the past, a regiment of our army usually consumed 5,000 rounds of ammunition when fighting a big blocking battle.

The brigade commander's 300,000 rounds of ammunition were enough to supply 60 regiments to fight a blocking battle, and his tone was so loud that it was terrifying to death.

It seems that the independent regiment did not take down the county seat of Heyuan, but took Jinyang and obtained the warehouse of the Jinyang Arsenal!

"it! Say only 20 people! ”

Li Yunlong scolded.

It hurts a lot.

He couldn't help but regret that he shouldn't have bargained with the brigade commander, and he should have directly promised him 12 guns.

Isn't it just 12 guns?

Why bother?

Unexpectedly, although it was about to reach 20 cadres now, his heart was like a knife with so many additional shells and bullets being lost!

"20 people? It's not bad, it's probably enough to form a battalion.

Lao Li, what are you going to do? Promised? ”

"Say yes!

Lao Zhao, you helped me to send a report to the brigade commander, and said that there were only 12 cannons, and there was no one more.

Shells, 600 rounds, 30,000 rounds of ammunition. ”

Li Yunlong was heartbroken as he spoke.

"Will this work?

Can you still bargain like this? ”

Zhao Gang muttered a little.

"Hey, I said you Lao Zhao, are you the political commissar of our independent regiment?

I don't know, I thought you were the supply minister of the brigade headquarters!

How do you help the brigade commander speak? ”

Li Yunlong was unhappy, and he turned his face and was about to bite.

Zhao Gang knew the temper of this guy, and he was not afraid of him, so he immediately replied:

"Li Yunlong, you stop me!

Don't lie to me if you're angry, you have the ability to find the brigade commander!

I, Zhao Gang, came to the independent regiment to work, not to be angry, and I'm not used to your stinky problem! ”

Li Yunlong was stunned when he heard this, and he had the heart to scold Zhao Gang, but he knew that he was not reasonable.

If you want to apologize, you can't pull this face, so you can only run out of the regiment headquarters in a gloomy way and go to the telegraph operator to send a telegram.

For Li Yunlong's low offer, although the brigade commander was secretly happy in his heart, he still couldn't let go of his agreement, but immediately sent a telegram back to increase the price.

Then Li Yunlong and the brigade commander used the telegram as a telephone, you and me, you and me, some bargaining, tired the two telegraph operators half to death, and finally agreed that the independent regiment would hand over 15 guns, 1,500 shells, and 50,000 rounds of ammunition to the brigade headquarters, and the brigade headquarters would give him 30 cadres at the company and platoon level.

As for transport, the brigade headquarters will send a battalion over for transport.

……

Coming out of the telecommunications room, Li Yunlong saw Zhao Gang waiting outside, and he immediately stepped forward to synchronize the news:

"Lao Zhao, I discussed it with the brigade commander, and handed over a total of 1 Jin-made Type 13 75mm mountain gun, 4 Type 97 90mm light mortars, 4 Type 97 81mm curved infantry guns, 4 Type 92 infantry guns, 2 Jin-made 82mm mortars, 1,500 rounds of various artillery shells and 50,000 rounds of ammunition.

The brigade commander will send 30 cadres to work in our regiment. ”

"Lao Li, you are fooling the brigade commander with these mortars?"

Zhao Gang didn't expect that Li Yunlong's guy would really be able to bargain with the brigade commander successfully, and most of the mortars given out were ordinary mortars, and he couldn't help but admire this guy's nonsense.

"Hey, I said Lao Zhao, how do you call it fooling?

Didn't I give the brigade commander 1 mountain gun and 4 Type 92 infantry guns?

You go and inquire, which of our other brigades has these artillery?

And don't look down on the 90mm light mortar of the little devil, this thing is no less powerful than the Type 92 infantry gun, and the range is about the same, but it is not so convenient to move. ”

Li Yunlong had a "don't wronged me" expression on his face.

Zhao Gang didn't bother to argue with him, anyway, the brigade commander had already agreed, so be it.

So he nodded and said:

"I'll let the logistics comrades prepare these things.

However, I suggest that these things should not be moved with us to Liuling Pass, lest the comrades from the brigade headquarters have to take more unjust roads, it is better to find a cave to hide these equipment, and then arrange for a company of soldiers to guard in the nearby village while developing the team. ”

"That's a good suggestion, let's do it!"

"So how are you going to expand next?

Now that the four main battalions have been arranged out by you, our regimental headquarters is left with soldiers from the artillery battalion and the guard company and communications units directly under it. ”

Zhao Gang changed the topic and discussed the expansion of the independent regiment.

After all, there are so many equipment in the team now, wouldn't it be a pity not to expand the team?

Of course, Li Yunlong pondered this question and replied without thinking:

"I'm going to form an infantry battalion and an artillery battalion.

Later, the 1st Artillery Battalion served as the main artillery battalion, equipped with 2 cannons, 5 rapid-fire guns, 4 Type 41 mountain guns, and 5 Type 92 infantry guns.

The goal is to easily crush an artillery squadron of imps.

As for the 2nd Artillery Battalion, it is equipped with 4 Type 92 infantry guns, 4 Type 97 90mm light mortars, and 4 Type 97 81mm curved infantry guns. ”

Speaking of the establishment of the two artillery battalions, Li Yunlong couldn't help but look proud.

In the entire Eighth Route Army, there can be two artillery battalion regiment-level units, and his independent regiment should be unique!

Speaking of which, which regiment commander and brigade commander is not drooling with envy?

Thinking of Chu Yunfei's 358 regiment again, he no longer envied it.

Isn't there an artillery battalion with 12 75mm mountain guns? Can you beat your own artillery battalion?

"So many guns, do we have so many gunners?"

Zhao Gang was naturally very excited when he heard the planning of so many cannons.

Since joining the Independent Regiment, he has watched Li Yunlong pull this regiment to the point where it is now strong and strong, and he also sees the hardships in his eyes.

"Gunner, of course not, after turning around and transferring to Liuling Pass, let Wang Chengzhu take the artillerymen to strengthen training and cultivate slowly.

We have enough shells, it's a big deal that Lao Tzu approved that they can fire 5 rounds of live ammunition a day!

After three months of practicing like this, it should be about the same! ”

The thought of wasting precious shells on training made his heart bleed.

I was really scared of being poor before!

But he also understands that if you don't fire live ammunition, you can't train elite artillery.

So I gritted my teeth and made this decision.

Of course, Zhao Gang would not object to his decision.

As a sharpshooter, he knows what it means to train with live ammunition.

The two discussed various things in the group again, and immediately went to their respective jobs.

……

Brigade headquarters.

When the brigade commander received Li Yunlong's last telegram, he couldn't help but be very proud.

I couldn't help but show off to Chief of Staff Lee:

"Haha, I, Chen Shukang, also have an artillery battalion now.

Li Yunlong promised to give me 15 cannons this dog, and there were 1,500 shells and 50,000 rounds of ammunition.

In the future, if we encounter a brigade or even a wing of little devils, we don't have to transfer so embarrassed. ”

"Good fellows!

It seems that Li Yunlong's benefits are more than we imagined.

He can give you 15 cannons, which means he has at least 20 of his own! ”

"Yes, it seems that the little devil has hoarded a lot of good things in the county. This one is all cheap.

And this incident also inspired me, you said that if we choose a county town where the strength of a little devil is weak, mobilize 3-4 regiments of troops, prepare dozens of flying thunder cannons in advance, and at night, approach the county seat in the dark, and then suddenly attack.

With the huge power of the flying thunder cannon, blow up the city wall, and then rush into the city, can you also have a good harvest?

The ammunition of the troops is too scarce, and it needs to be replenished urgently! ”

The brigade commander pondered.

"There is this possibility, we can think carefully about the idea of where to fight, not only the enemy's defense is weak, but also want to win a lot of money, this is not easy."

"Hahaha, let's go eight, what difficulties are you afraid of?

As long as you have the opportunity, you must never give up!

Lao Li, you immediately give an order to all the troops of the military region, so that they can pay attention to reconnaissance and look for such a county town when they attack the traffic arteries of the little devils.

As soon as I have the chance, I have to bite the fat meat!

Can't let Li Yunlong's dog's beauty prevail! ”

"Okay, I'll go."
