"Well, if you want to give us a new group of reimbursed ammunition, can you arrange transportation first?"
"The battle against Taiyuan consumed a lot of ammunition. Currently, the New Regiment doesn't have much inventory. We also need ammunition to attack the county town, right?"
There was ammunition in the arsenal, so Li Yunlong didn't panic.
The original agreement with Chen Feng was that after the airport was repaired, the reimbursed weapons and ammunition together with the earned weapons and ammunition would be transported by transport plane.
Since the Japanese would not be able to organize a mopping-up offensive for at least a month or two, the new regiment would not have any major battles.
However, if we want to attack the county town now, we need ammunition, so the reimbursed weapons and ammunition need to be transported in advance.
"No problem, I will arrange it as soon as possible. In addition, I will send you a deposit of 300 new submachine guns and 300,000 rounds of submachine gun bullets."
Chen Feng nodded in agreement.
The M3 submachine gun and Sten submachine gun have been unlocked for purchase, so naturally you have to take advantage of them.
The deposit this time is for the M3 submachine gun. This submachine gun was only developed in 1942 and was not equipped with the US military until 1943.
In other words, the soldiers of the new regiment got their hands on M3 submachine guns earlier than the US military on the other side of the ocean.
Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang looked overjoyed. The product produced by Boss Chen must be a high-quality product. This new submachine gun is definitely not bad.
"Thank you very much, Brother Chen!"
Li Yunlong suddenly smiled widely.
As the saying goes, it is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality. After getting used to the days of strong firepower, even if I kill Li Yunlong, I don't want to go back to the previous life.
To expand now, we really need a batch of submachine guns to equip the militia.
"Thank you, Brother Chen." Zhao Gang also thanked him repeatedly.
Then, Li Yunlong's eyes suddenly flashed, as if he had thought of something, and he hurriedly asked: "Brother, if our regiment captures other counties in northwest Shanxi, will the price be the same?"
“Same price.”
Chen Feng nodded and said in an affirmative tone: "For every county town captured, 2 heavy artillery, 2 anti-aircraft guns, 200 tons of grain, and a deposit for 100 new submachine guns."
When Li Yunlong heard this, his eyes sparkled with the light of a businessman.
There are almost twenty county towns in northwest Shanxi, and most of them are occupied by the Japanese.
If all these counties and cities were defeated, wouldn't the new group become rich?
Li Yunlong asked again: "Then after our regiment captured the county seat, the Japanese took it away, and our regiment captured the county seat again, can this still be considered business?"
Chen Feng took a deep breath and said with certainty: "Forget it!"
Where are the bugs in the card system here?
For a county town, if the New Regiment and the Japanese fought for it dozens of times, wouldn't it mean that dozens or hundreds of heavy artillery pieces would be produced?
In more than a dozen counties, if the New Regiment fought with the Japanese for dozens of times, wouldn't it be possible to produce hundreds or even thousands of heavy artillery pieces?
But Chen Feng didn't care, and was even happy to see the success. The more Li Yunlong brushed, the more merit points he gained.
Furthermore, can you, Li Yunlong, drain the system dry?
"Haha, I do business openly!"
Li Yunlong immediately felt happy after receiving boss Chen's affirmative answer.
Our old Li will be rich soon!
Captain Li is full of energy!
Next, the three of them happily exchanged cups. After eating and drinking, Chen Feng left Zhaojiayu Village.
…
After sending Chen Feng away, Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang returned to the inner room of the regiment headquarters.
Huang Erhu and the cooking team have cleared the kang table.
Zhao Gang said to Li Yunlong: "To attack three counties, for such a big thing, we still have to ask the head of the headquarters for instructions."
Li Yunlong nodded and said, "I have to ask for permission."
In the past, when the New Regiment was affiliated to the 386th Brigade, Li Yunlong could kill first and then report later, because the brigade commander would support him.
The prerequisite is to win the battle.
But now the new regiment is directly under the headquarters and can mobilize two or three battalions for combat. Li Yunlong has the autonomy without asking for instructions. He is just mobilizing the entire regiment and needs to ask for instructions from the headquarters.
Of course, if the headquarters disagrees with Li Yunlong's battle plan, Li Yunlong will still do it.
After all, with the combat power of the new regiment, two or three battalions are enough to attack the county town. Let's do it one by one.
Furthermore, Li Yunlong did not believe that the head of the headquarters could resist the temptation of two 150mm heavy artillery pieces for every county town captured.
Li Yunlong said: "In addition, send a report to Kong Jie and Ding Wei, asking them not to rush to attack the county town first, but to keep the county town in their defense area. After we have solved the surrounding county towns, I will lead my troops to fight with them and capture the county town.
Any subsequent seizure shall belong to them.”
Kong Jie's and Ding Wei's defense areas also have three county towns each.
At present, they each have an artillery battalion and a machine gun battalion.
Although they are battalion-level units, everyone knows that these two battalions are regiment-level units.
In the original drama, Li Yunlong owned an Italian cannon and could hit Ping'an County with just seventeen rounds.
Now Kong Jie and Ding Wei each have an artillery regiment, with thousands of rounds of artillery shells, and they must be even more crazy.
Li Yunlong guessed that since they had just arrived in northwestern Shanxi, they would also want to make a name for themselves and pick a county town occupied by the Japanese to attack.
Zhao Gang smiled: "Okay, I'll draft a telegram and ask the telegraph operator to send it out as soon as possible."
…
"How did Lao Li know that I was going to attack the county?"
Wuzhai County, Wohu Village, New Second Regiment Headquarters.
Ding Wei was studying the attack on Wuzhai County. After reading the telegram that the decoder had just sent to his hand, he sounded surprised.
Li Yunlong guessed correctly, Ding Wei was about to attack Wuzhai County.
It turns out that there were not many Japs and puppet troops in northwestern Shanxi, and there were not many gun towers and strongholds, and ammunition was also very scarce, so the gun towers and strongholds could no longer satisfy Ding Wei's appetite.
If you want to make a name for yourself, you have to go to the county seat.
Although Ding Wei has no business channels, he still got a lot of good things from the battle in Taiyuan.
In addition to money and food, they also brought hundreds of captured guns and a lot of ammunition to northwestern Shanxi.
Expanding the artillery battalion, machine gun battalion and infantry all require recruitment, so we must attack the county town.
Xu Shansheng, political commissar of the new Second Regiment, also sounded puzzled:
"He came to our defense area and wanted to attack the county town with us. He also asked us to find out the situation in the surrounding counties. What does Captain Li want to do?"
"What's even more strange is that he also said that the seizure of the county town belongs to us."
"This is not like Commander Li's style."
Ding Wei stared at the map. There were three county towns within the defense area of the New Second Regiment.
Ding Wei narrowed his eyes: "What does Lao Li mean? Do you want to knock down all three counties?"
Soon, Ding Wei thought of the second level: "I'm sure it has something to do with weapons assistance. This guy has always been a master who doesn't want to do anything early."
"But..." Xu Shansheng said, "This is a great thing for our New Second Regiment. The capture of three county towns is not a small sum. With the strength of our New Second Regiment, we can only capture one county town at most.
With the help of the new group, we can not only make a lot of money, but also greatly reduce casualties."
Ding Wei nodded: "Order the scouts to quickly find out the situation of the Japanese in our three counties."
"Okay!" Xu Shansheng nodded.
At the same time, Kong Jie also received the same telegram.
The same reaction as Ding Wei.
As for Li Yunlong's plan to attack the county town in their defense area and not capture it after capturing it, he and Ding Wei fully agreed.
…
"Li Yunlong wants to attack the county town, three at the same time?"
At the headquarters, the boss and division commander looked surprised as they listened to the chief of staff read the telegram.
The teacher suddenly laughed and said: "Li Yunlong, this guy will come to you as soon as the reins are loosened. He has only been in northwest Shanxi for a few days, and he can't stand still anymore?"
The chief of staff continued: "The business price of capturing a county is two 150mm howitzers, two 37mm anti-aircraft guns and 200 tons of grain."
Hearing this, the boss and teachers couldn't sit still.
This morning, 12 150mm heavy guns and a small number of artillery shells for the headquarters were delivered to the door by helicopter.
A group of leaders personally received the goods. After receiving the goods, the boss ordered the artillerymen to test-fire two cannons on the spot.
The power and range made the heads of the headquarters smile.
Two words, very fragrant!
The Eighth Route Army finally had its own heavy artillery unit, and there were two heavy artillery battalions.
"Two 150mm howitzers for a county..." the division commander adjusted his glasses and said with surprise in his tone, "The price is very good."
The boss is also very excited, and the boss is also very greedy for the 150mm heavy artillery.
Because the boss was an artilleryman before, and during the Long March, he personally fired artillery and blew up enemy bunkers.
He prefers 105mm howitzers and 150mm howitzers to other chiefs at the headquarters.
He looked at the Chief of Staff and said domineeringly: "Chief of Staff, you sent a telegram to tell Li Yunlong that it is not enough to capture three counties. If you are capable, you can capture the entire county occupied by the Japanese army in northwestern Shanxi. If you can capture it, I will personally do it."
Give him a reward. The heavy artillery and machine guns he gets after the business is completed will be divided equally between the headquarters and the new regiment. As for the food, let him keep it for himself."
"Yes!" The chief of staff nodded in response, and at the same time sighed in his heart, this is the boss, he is always so domineering.
"By the way." The chief of staff added, "Li Yunlong also said in the telegram that the other party has agreed to replace some radio stations with walkie-talkies. The specific number is, 3,000 low-power walkie-talkies and 500 high-power walkie-talkies. Li Yunlong
Leave 500 low-power walkie-talkies and 100 high-power walkie-talkies."
The teacher's eyes suddenly lit up: "There are actually so many?"
"That's right." The chief of staff nodded.
The boss said with emotion: "In this Taiyuan battle, Li Yunlong made a lot of money. Now our troops can be assigned walkie-talkies even at the platoon level. The communication capabilities have been greatly enhanced. Not to mention the national army, even the Japanese
Without this thing, I don’t think anyone would dare to call us Tubalu in the future?”
The chief of staff and division commander suddenly became happy, and the air was filled with a happy atmosphere.
