Chapter 121 The Sky-high Priced Sun Desheng(1/2)
"Brother Chen, hahahaha, we, Old Li, see you here!"
Li Yunlong rode a fast horse and shouted as soon as he entered the village because Chen Shanhe was waiting for him at the entrance of the village.
After all, Chen Shanhe has implemented telephone work here. If there is any trouble, the phone at the sentry post can be directly connected to the village and battalion headquarters.
Therefore, the news of Li Yunlong's arrival had already been notified to Chen Shanhe when he arrived at the village entrance, and Chen Shanhe had no choice but to come out to greet him.
Li Yunlong was very particular and did not come with empty hands. He actually carried two bottles of wine. They should be captured trophies, but they turned out to be Fenjiu from Shanxi.
"Isn't Captain Li's favorite thing about roasted sweet potatoes? How come he is now living the life of a wealthy landlord, and he even drinks Fenjiu in glass bottles? This is so rich!"
Chen Shanhe told the guard next to him: "Go ask the cooking team to fry some peanuts and prepare us a snack!
Commander Li is here, if he doesn’t even have food to drink with him, he must not be laughed at!”
"Okay, I'll tell the cooking team!"
The guard stepped forward and took the two bottles of wine from the hands of a new guard next to Li Yunlong, then turned back and ran to the cooking class.
Chen Shanhe asked Li Yunlong with a smile: "You, Captain Li, always go to the Three Treasures Hall for no reason, and today you are still carrying wine. Tell me what you have to say!"
"Hahahaha!" Li Yunlong started with a trademark smile: "Brother Chen, from what you said, it seems that every time I come to your place, I am just trying to take advantage!
I tell you, this is an injustice, a huge injustice!
We, Lao Li, are not here to take advantage this time, but to thank you!
Brother Chen, this telegraph communication class you organized took more than 30 people more than a month to teach the whole class!
Hey hey hey, my independent regiment has also been assigned a telegraph operator, that is all thanks to you!
We, Lao Li, are not the kind of people who don’t repay kindness, are we?
So I finally seized two bottles of Fenjiu and sent them over right away. Are they enough to make friends?"
Chen Shanhe glanced at him sideways: "Okay, Captain Li has something to say. I don't know your character, Captain Li. You are the one who can't afford to be early without any benefit!"
Since I made a special trip today, something must have happened. If you have something to do, let’s talk about it. Let’s finish the matter and then drink!”
"Hahahaha! So refreshing!"
Li Yunlong smiled, then licked his face and moved over: "I heard that you have captured so many recently that you can't even use the mortars. There are more than a dozen in the warehouse!
I just thought, those mortars are made of iron, and they are the same as kitchen knives. If no one uses them, they will rust, and they will get rusty, right?
Hey hey hey hey!
So brother, I thought to myself, it’s okay to leave it alone, it would be a pity if it breaks, so I just want to help you use it!
How about you give me two of the mortars in your warehouse..."
When Chen Shanhe heard this, he quickly shook his head: "Impossible, absolutely impossible!
Although I have many mortars, they are not redundant!
You, Commander Li, are short of artillery, and so am I!
Although my mortars are in the warehouse, I am recruiting people and have recruited more troops. These mortars of mine need to be arranged!
Besides, how proud of you, Mr. Li, to have such a red mouth and white teeth, that I have to give you the mortar?
What are you thinking about?"
Chen Shanhe quickly interrupted Lao Li's thoughts. The cannon belonged to him. Don't even think about it. He also planned to expand the death camp to more than 1,000 people.
There is no problem in expanding when there are sufficient guns and ammunition. The most important thing is that he has now taken over a dozen other villages in Dayou Township.
He now controls almost 30 villages. Except for Dayou Township, which he has no control over, he controls almost all of the town's entire territory.
Even the Japanese troops of the squadron in Dayou Township have withdrawn from the occupation of the town. There is no other way. If they don't leave, they may be destroyed.
Therefore, due to Chen Shanhe's momentary negligence, the Japanese squadron successfully escaped.
So now even the town is under his control, but he hasn't sent anyone to take it over yet.
Now, the entire town, with tens of thousands of people, is under his rule. After the corn harvest next year, there should be no problem with ten thousand people raising a thousand soldiers.
Therefore, all the weapons and equipment in his warehouse are intended to be used to develop and expand the militia.
Now Li Yunlong actually wants to acquire the weapons and equipment in his warehouse, don't even think about it.
"Hehehehehe!"
Li Yunlong chuckled and said: "I know you are picky, just like a Shanxi rich man!
Those who knew said you were from Northeast China, but those who didn’t know thought you were a vinegar shopkeeper from Shanxi!
That’s it!
Are we, Mr. Li, the kind of freeloader?
Already prepared!
Sun Desheng, come here!"
He thought the new face who was following Li Yunlong just now was Li Yunlong's new guard who came over.
"Sun Desheng used to be with Shi Yousan. After Shi Yousan joined the Japanese, he left and fought many battles!
But he turned out to be a cavalryman. My new regiment has no cavalry, no horses, and is poor!
I have wronged Sun Desheng’s ability!
But I don’t have it, you do!
Although you have horses, you can't train cavalry. Those cavalry you have are just useless.
What is the reason? The reason is that there is no one to lead the cavalry. There is no one who used to be a cavalry to lead the cavalry for you. Therefore, you cannot bring out good cavalry. You can only ride the horse to the place and dismount to fight. Is that a cavalry?
What a waste of a good horse!
So I thought about calling Sun Desheng over, leading the cavalry for you for a while, bringing them out, and then you use my two mortars. How about that?
This is a good deal!"
Sun Desheng?
Chen Shanhe remembered.
In the original plot of Liangjian, after Li Yunlong went to the Independent Regiment, he set up a cavalry battalion in Wanjia Town. After the cavalry battalion was acquired, the brigade commander took away most of its equipment, leaving him with only the equipment of a cavalry company.
Here’s the important point: even though a cavalry company has horse equipment, it still won’t work without a knowledgeable person to train it.
So he took 5 machine guns and exchanged them with Ding Wei from the new regiment for his old subordinate Sun Desheng.
When watching the scene of Sun Desheng's sacrifice in The Sword, he burst into tears without realizing it.
(Many of my friends burst into tears when they saw the sword for the first time. The moment Sun Desheng died, they didn’t even know it.)
When Chen Shanhe saw that it was Sun Desheng, he then thought about his cavalry, more than 80 horses, and a cavalry company. As Li Yunlong said, they could only ride to the place, dismount and shoot.
Is this a cavalry?
This is mounted infantry.
However, he has never had anyone who knows cavalry to help him train, so that's all.
But now there is.
Li Yunlong was actually willing to trade Sun Desheng for two mortars, but it was normal. After all, in the original plot, Li Yunlong traded 5 light machine guns with Ding Wei for Sun Desheng.
Two mortars are much more valuable than five light machine guns, so this deal is quite a bargain.
"But Brother Chen, I told you in advance that this is just for you to train your troops. When you finish training your troops and I get the cavalry horses and equipment, you have to return this man to me!
I’ll also set up a cavalry company, cavalry battalion or something like that!”
Upon hearing this, Chen Shanhe quickly shook his head: "That won't work. If you want to change, I will trade two mortars with you for one person!"
In the end, the replacement was not complete, so that’s no good. I lost a lot of money on this deal!
If you want to change it, change it completely. I will give you two mortars with 20 rounds of shells for each mortar. I will not give it to you!
How's it going?"
Li Yunlong quickly shook his head: "That won't work. I also want to set up a cavalry battalion. There is no one to help me train, so what should I do?
You can only borrow it from someone. When I get the horses and equipment, you still have to return this person to me!
Otherwise I won’t change it!”
It must be exchanged, but it cannot be exchanged according to Li Yunlong's price. Two mortars are exchanged for one person to train troops, and the exchange is not complete. This transaction will be a huge loss.
So Chen Shanhe must be bargaining.
"If this person doesn't change completely, I can only give you one mortar and 10 artillery shells at most, no more!
If the change is complete, Sun Desheng will be the commander of our cavalry company, and I will never give it back to you!
That means giving you two mortars and 30 rounds of artillery shells for each!
How's it going?"
Li Yunlong was a little tempted, but his idea of setting up a cavalry battalion in the future still prevailed, so he still rejected Chen Shanhe's proposal with difficulty.
