This time, we will fight against the Black Island Alliance and attack the county seat.
After consuming so much ammunition, I turned it in without leaving a single bullet or gun.
By saying this, isn't it equivalent to telling the Deputy Chief of Staff that there is something fishy in it?
It’s not like the Deputy Chief of General Staff doesn’t understand me. Isn’t Mr. Li the kind of person who hands over everything he captures?
Last time, all the seizures were handed over to the brigade headquarters, which aroused the suspicion of the brigade commander, and 100,000 rounds of ammunition and 40 Czech guns were robbed.
"Turn them all in?"
"Don't you keep a bullet or a gun for yourself?"
As expected by Li Yunlong, the deputy chief of staff spoke in a strange tone, with some disbelief and some suspicion.
These leaders are really better than the other...
Li Yunlong slandered and quickly explained: "Don't get me wrong, I made a mistake just now. It wasn't a bullet or a gun left."
"I will keep one-third of the captured weapons and ammunition myself, and the remaining two-thirds will be handed over to the brigade headquarters."
"How much is two-thirds? There must be more than 600 guns and 200,000 rounds of ammunition."
After a pause, Li Yunlong asked cautiously: "Deputy Chief of General Staff, do you think my arrangement is appropriate?"
"Li Yunlong, do you think I'm easy to fool?"
"Did you have any other private channels to obtain weapons and ammunition?"
"Don't think that I don't know. In fact, the headquarters has already investigated it clearly."
"Tell me the truth and don't try to get away with it."
The deputy chief of staff's voice gradually turned cold.
It is not a secret among the deputy commander-in-chief that Li Yunlong obtained weapons, ammunition, cotton-padded clothes and other supplies through private channels.
Of course, only the heads of the brigade, division and headquarters knew about it.
For this matter, the division commander specially called Brigadier Chen to the headquarters and held a meeting to discuss it.
Brigadier Chen also knew very little about him. He only knew that he was a mysterious patriotic overseas Chinese named Chen who had been assisting Li Yunlong and appeared around the time of the battle at Cangyunling.
After research, several leaders unanimously decided not to have contact with this mysterious patriotic person named Chen, nor to intervene in Li Yunlong's contact with him, and ordered those who knew the information to keep it strictly confidential.
After all, this patriotic man named Chen has the ability and channels to contact higher-level people, but he only chooses Li Yunlong instead, which shows that he only wants to contact Li Yunlong.
Otherwise, the Political Department of the 18th Group Army would have invited Li Yunlong over for tea.
The deputy chief of staff saw that Li Yunlong had revealed his flaws, so he took advantage of the opportunity to deceive him to see if he could get some useful information out of him.
Li Yunlong was suddenly in a state of confusion, secretly cursing himself for being hopeless, but when the leader praised him, he couldn't stop talking about it.
Li Yunlong first looked outside the house, and then said cautiously when he saw no one there.
"Deputy Chief of General Staff, to tell you the truth, there is such a channel."
"But I made it clear that I was not allowed to tell anyone about it, and the weapons and ammunition were not for nothing."
"It's conditional..."
"What conditions?" the deputy chief of staff asked hurriedly.
If conditions permit, can we provide a large amount of assistance?
The Deputy Chief of General Staff did not have high hopes either. Our party has always been self-reliant and worked hard, and never put its hope in the assistance of others.
But then again, weapons and ammunition are more precious than gold, so who would have too much? One more gun and one more bullet may mean one less soldier is sacrificed.
Li Yunlong: "I won't let anyone tell me the conditions."
"What about the number of weapons and ammunition to assist you this time?" the Deputy Chief of General Staff asked directly, "You can always tell me, right?"
"Okay." Li Yunlong gritted his teeth and said, "But... Deputy Chief of Staff, you have to keep it a secret for me."
"Okay, I'll keep it a secret for you!" The deputy chief of staff was very curious about how much benefit Li Yunlong could get this time, so that he could hand over all the guns and bullets.
That's more than 1,000 guns, more than 300,000 rounds of ammunition, and more than 4,000 artillery shells!
It is definitely not a small amount to allow Li Yunlong to hand over so many weapons and ammunition proactively, readily and without any hesitation!
Even if Li Yunlong changed his tune in a hurry, how could the deputy chief of staff not understand what he meant?
Li Yunlong said: "Not many, just 100 submachine guns, 30 light machine guns, bullets... maybe a few hundred thousand rounds."
"How many hundreds of thousands of rounds are there? Please tell me clearly."
Li Yunlong said: "Eight...eight hundred thousand rounds."
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Yunlong heard the sound of the phone being dropped on the table. After a while, the call returned to normal.
"How many bullets do you think there are?"
Although the deputy chief of staff tried hard to control his tone and voice, Li Yunlong could still hear the vibrato.
"Report to the Deputy Chief of General Staff, 800,000 rounds of ammunition." Li Yunlong said with certainty.
Reimbursement of 500,000 rounds of consumed bullets, plus 100,000 rounds of submachine gun bullets and 200,000 rounds of machine gun bullets, wouldn’t that be 800,000 rounds?
"Eight hundred thousand rounds of ammunition..." The deputy chief of staff could hardly control himself.
The source of bullets for the Eighth Route Army basically came from seizures.
Therefore, they are in short supply. On average, each soldier can only hold five rounds of ammunition.
Of course, this includes all Eighth Route Army units, including primary regiments and local regiments.
The situation of the main force group is still slightly better, and the combat effectiveness is not weak.
Due to technical and equipment issues, the Eighth Route Army's arsenal could not produce bullets, so they had to take the bullet casings back and reload them.
The accuracy of reloaded bullets is very poor, but there is no other way, and there are not even extra bullets for reloading.
After a pause, the deputy chief of staff regained his tone: "I asked you why you are so willing to hand over all the seized items. It turns out that you have made a bigger fortune. It seems that I have to congratulate you for making a fortune again, haha..."
"No, no, just congratulations once is enough, haha." Captain Li laughed a little awkwardly.
"If I promise to keep it a secret for you, I will definitely keep it a secret for you." The deputy chief of staff smiled, "But you have to pay the hush money, right?"
"Ah? There is also hush money?" Li Yunlong was dumbfounded, "Deputy Chief of Staff, given our relationship, you still want hush money from me?"
"Of course, otherwise I will tell the boss about this and all your bullets will be handed over to the headquarters."
"Now you have two options. Either I tell the boss about this, or you pay me hush money."
The deputy chief of staff glanced at the boss, who was listening with pricked ears and a smile on his face, and asked: "Li Yunlong, what do you want to choose?"
"Okay, okay." Li Yunlong said helplessly, "I think the guards around the head of the headquarters are short of someone who can take advantage of him."
"So I decided to hand over the 100 submachine guns and 100,000 rounds of submachine gun bullets to the headquarters after the next batch of support arrives."
"Take it and equip the security company to protect the safety of the boss and you. Is that all right?"
In addition to the guard company, there is also a special agent group that has been following the Eighth Route Army headquarters. This special agent group is also quite powerful in combat effectiveness.
"No need for 100, 50 submachine guns and 50,000 rounds of ammunition are enough!" said the deputy chief of staff. "You can keep the other 50 and 50,000 rounds of ammunition for yourself."
As for the remaining 750,000 rounds of ammunition, Li Yunlong will definitely not be able to eat it for one regiment, and he will definitely be beaten by Brigadier Chen.
Coupled with the number of bullets that Li Yunlong voluntarily handed over this time, Brigadier Chen has at least 600,000 rounds in storage. With so many bullets, Brigadier Chen will definitely be beaten by the division commander.
At that time, if the headquarters needs it, just contact the division commander directly.
However, the headquarters moves together with the 129th Division Headquarters. The division headquarters and headquarters are together, and the logistics department of the division headquarters is the logistics department of the headquarters, so there is no need to fight against the division commander.
Next, the deputy commander-in-chief gave a few more instructions.
For example, precautions must be taken to guard against Japanese retaliation.
For example, the headquarters is discussing giving awards to Xinyi Tuan and him, Li Yunlong, and telling Li Yunlong not to cause trouble.
For example, if there is a situation that cannot be handled, you must ask your superiors for instructions, etc.
The deputy chief of staff was like an old father giving instructions to his son for a long time. When he said something, Li Yunlong said yes.
After hanging up the phone, Captain Li felt so miserable that he couldn't express his feelings. Who said he was in trouble?
Li Yunlong: What a sin!
However, the deputy chief of staff was kind enough and only asked for 50 submachine guns and 50,000 rounds of submachine gun bullets.
The reason why Li Yunlong was so happy to hand over 100 submachine guns and 100,000 rounds of ammunition.
It's because this time, in addition to 100 submachine guns, 30 light machine guns, and 800,000 rounds of ammunition, there is also a reward for capturing the county seat.
Only he and Zhang Dabiao knew this, not even Zhao Gang. Zhao Gang thought that the four 20mm machine guns were included in the last attack on the Okazaki Brigade.
It would be great if there were 20 more 20mm cannons!
Li Yunlong thought happily.
The machine gun is so awesome. It is light, powerful and has a long range. It can effectively deal with Japanese tanks and aircraft, and can also hit turrets and bunkers.
Of course, Li Yunlong's favorite was to use it to fight the little Japanese infantry. The little Japanese would be smashed directly after being hit by a cannonball, which was not very satisfying.
After feeling alone for a while, Li Yunlong quickly called Kong Jie and Ding Wei respectively.
They were notified to send a transport team to Yangcun to pick up supplies. Ding Wei and Kong Jie were each assigned 180 rifles, 6 machine guns, and 50,000 rounds of ammunition, half of which were 6.5mm and 7.7mm caliber bullets.
In addition, Li Yunlong also prepared horse meat from 10 military horses for each of them. After more than 400 horse meat is handed over, the Independent Regiment and the New Second Regiment will also receive some from the logistics department.
Naturally, Ding Wei and Kong Jie were so grateful that they even knelt down and called Li Yunlong his biological father.
Lend their respective cavalry companies and 10 machine guns for a walk, and you only need so many weapons and ammunition. It's a waste of money.
Then, Li Yunlong called the brigade headquarters.
Li Yunlong knew that the brigade commander had never called him, probably because he was waiting for him to take the initiative to report.
