Lu Ming did what he said and found Li Yunlong overnight.

After discussing with Li Yunlong for a while, he took the money he had seized and went directly to do business.

Bicycles also play a very important role. They are more or less a means of transportation. They are definitely more useful than two legs.

In the next battle southward, the famous Yinlun troops will appear and defeat the great powers in the west.

In fact, even the highly mechanized German army had specialized bicycle units.

After all, this thing is high quality and cheap, and can effectively improve mobility.

The independent regiment has developed to this point, and they already have strong combat capabilities.

Not to mention directly fighting positional battles, but also fighting fortified battles, they have a great advantage when facing the Japs as a unit.

If we say that in the past the independent regiments fought guerrilla warfare and mainly engaged in ambush warfare, then their combat methods will change greatly in the future.

They are well-equipped with weapons and equipment, and are fully capable of going head-to-head with the little devils.

Therefore, independent groups need to improve their mobility.

Especially serving as the mobile brigade unit, which is the fire brigade.

No one can know in advance where a fierce battle will occur, so their maneuverability plays a big role.

After all, even if the independent regiment is powerful, by the time they rush over and the battle is over, they will have lost their value as a firefighting team.

The night passed in a hurry, and Lu Ming came back in the afternoon of the next day.

He came back with a lot of bicycles, hundreds of them.

Also brought back by Lu Ming were four Schneider field guns and fifty improved mules and horses.

"Lu Ming, I also bought these four field guns. How much will they cost?"

"This caliber must be higher than 75MM. It's brand new. It's really a good thing."

"Hey, you, there are still so many cannonballs, hehehe, look at it, Lu Ming is more capable."

After Li Yunlong saw the four field cannons, his eyes lit up and he carefully touched the cannon bodies.

But after a while, Li Yunlong looked towards Cangyun Ridge with a regretful expression on his face.

"Captain, I don't have much money. This is stored in foreign banks by others."

"The boss of the foreign bank is going back to China, so he took advantage of the situation and packaged it up and sold it to me. We still have a lot of money left."

"These ammunitions also come together. I thought they would be useful, so I bought them together."

Lu Ming thought Li Yunlong was worried about money, so he hurriedly explained.

After Zhao Gang and others heard Lu Ming's explanation, they stopped asking any more questions.

"Oh, I feel sorry for those four French cannons. When our regiment was fighting guerrillas and ambushes, it was inconvenient to carry them."

"But it's convenient now. If we can get those four French cannons back, our artillery battalion will have twenty-four cannons."

"With these twenty-four artillery pieces, our regiment can even capture the capital of Shanxi Province. Who is our regiment's opponent, you little devil from Jin Province?"

Li Yunlong said with a distressed face that he regretted giving the four French cannons to the brigade headquarters.

But even if he regretted it, Li Yunlong didn't have the guts to ask the brigade commander to come back.

"Forget it, let's not talk about these things."

"Zhuzi, Gensheng, you now have twenty artillery pieces. This is the establishment of an artillery regiment."

"I still say the same thing, every cannonball has to gain results, no one can waste cannonballs."

"Old Zhao, please contact Lao Ding and Lao Kong and ask them to come to the regiment headquarters for a meeting as soon as possible."

Li Yunlong shook his head. The more he thought about it, the more distressed he became. He simply didn't think about it and gave the order directly.

The soldiers went to their own business, and Lu Ming just wanted to find Monk Wei from the Guard Assault Company.

But Li Yunlong came to Lu Ming with a smile. He pulled Lu Ming and went directly to the regiment headquarters.

There is a map hanging on the wall of the regiment headquarters, with markings representing the Japanese and puppet troops already on it.

According to Lu Ming's plan, the independent regiment focused on defense this time, relying on the favorable terrain near Yucheng to block the Japanese and puppet troops layer by layer.

Now there are four Schneider field guns, and the independent regiment is even more powerful. Lu Ming is very confident in this defensive battle.

"Lu Ming, the artillery battalion has twenty artillery pieces, all with a caliber of 75MM or above!"

"Four machine gun batteries, eighteen heavy machine guns, and twenty-eight artillery pieces of different calibers."

"An armored cavalry battalion, twenty various tanks, and more than three hundred cavalry."

"It's not that we, Lao Li, are bragging, the strength of the independent group lies here."

"Don't talk about Shanxi Province, it means the whole country; let alone regiment-level troops, even division-level troops, no one can compare with our regiment."

After Li Yunlong came to the regiment headquarters, he looked at Lu Ming and said with a proud expression on his face.

Seeing Li Yunlong's triumphant expression, Lu Ming couldn't help but pour cold water on him.

"Commander, why did I hear that there is a very powerful 200 division, with a total division of 20,000 people?"

"There are two tank regiments, two mechanized infantry regiments, and an artillery regiment. Our regiment may not be able to compare with them."

When Li Yunlong heard this, he couldn't help but smile, not angry at all.

Of course, this was Lu Ming. If it had been anyone else, Lao Li would have stared blankly.

"That's a force formed by gathering the strength of the whole country. Can our regiment compare with it?"

"Okay, okay, I won't tell you this nonsense. This is a regiment-level unit. You can find someone who is more powerful than our regiment."

"Nearly fifty artillery pieces of different calibers. If you include the 60MM mortars, there are dozens of artillery pieces!"

Li Yunlong looked at Lu Ming and still said unconvinced.

"Captain, our independent regiment can indeed rank first in terms of weapons, equipment, and combat effectiveness."

At this point, Lu Mingzai didn't know what Li Yunlong wanted to do, so as the chief of staff, he was just a parallel import.

Before Lu Ming could continue to speak, Li Yunlong pointed at the location of Chasheng.

"Sooner or later, these Japanese and puppet troops will go south to fight. We might as well take the initiative and attack."

"There are grasslands over there, which is conducive to our troops' mobile operations and can catch them by surprise."

"That's more than 10,000 puppet troops. Even if there are 20,000 of them, our regiment can deal with them."

"The Eighth Brigade of the Royal Association Army in Cangyun Ridge has strengthened its weapons and equipment time and time again, but they are still weak."

"No matter how powerful the Japanese devils here are, they are no match for us. If we fight, we will definitely win."

"There are dozens of artillery pieces. We are just fighting a defensive battle. Even if we win, we won't be able to show it in our faces."

Li Yunlong spoke one after another, his face full of excitement.

In Ding Wei's words: If this kid doesn't dare to do anything, give him a teacher and he will dare to fight too far!

The artillery battalion of the independent regiment now has twenty artillery pieces!

In fact, there are only four more doors than before, but there is a big gap between sixteen doors and twenty doors.

Let's put it this way, it's equivalent to the difference between fifty-nine points and sixty points.

It may seem like a one-point difference, but it affects whether you pass or not.

The Independent Regiment had twenty artillery pieces, and Li Yunlong's back was instantly strengthened.

There were more than 10,000 puppet troops in the province, and he had wanted to launch a defensive counterattack before.

Now let's just get rid of the defense and go straight to counterattack.

Not to mention that they want to fight south, they just have no such plan. With these twenty artillery pieces, Li Yunlong can sit still!

What kind of character is this old Li!

When you hear the sound of gunfire, you can't wait to rush to the battlefield with a machete.

This is because Li Yunlong didn't understand the performance of the Schneider field gun, and Lu Ming deliberately didn't say it.

If Li Yunlong knew that these four Schneider field guns had a range of 15,000 meters, he would really dare to shoot too far.

"Lu Ming, let's talk. Do you want to fight or not?"

"The more than 10,000-day puppet army is no match for our regiment. Don't miss such a good opportunity."

"No matter who the Japanese and puppet troops go south to fight, even if they come to visit us, we will still destroy them."

"After disposing of these more than 10,000 days of puppet troops, our regiment will not have any area left in this area."

"Hey, don't tell me to deal with them. Let's move eastward and cooperate with the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei troops and the 120th Division to take Yuncheng directly!"

"After taking Yuncheng, we helped Lao Ding and Lao Kong's regiments grow to the size of our regiment."

"Then we will follow the Tongpu Railway and hit Taiyuan. Within two or three years, we may be able to regain Jin Province!"

Li Yunlong looked at the map and said ambitiously.
