Chapter 691: The Eighth Route Army must have its own oil fields!
After everyone exchanged pleasantries, Li Yunlong and Wang Dehou followed the leaders to the headquarters.
Li Yunlong rode in a jeep with the division commander and brigade commander, while Wang Dehou rode in a jeep with the combat staff.
After several business trips to northwest Shanxi, Li Yunlong handed over dozens of jeeps to the headquarters, and they also had plenty of fuel.
Nowadays, the heads of the headquarters take jeeps when going out, and the soldiers in the guard camp take trucks.
Now the entire southeastern part of Shanxi is under the control of the Eighth Route Army, and the Japs from the First Army do not dare to invade, and they even do very little raiding.
The Eighth Route Army mobilized the masses in the base area and demonstrated strong construction and infrastructure capabilities. In just over half a year, the roads in the base area in southeastern Shanxi have been extended in all directions.
The jeep was driving smoothly on the road, and Li Yunlong was in a good mood.
Li Yunlong, the division commander and the brigade commander were all sitting in the back row, which seemed a bit crowded.
Originally, Li Yunlong wanted to sit in the passenger seat of the jeep, but he was forced to sit in the back seat by the brigade commander and division commander. Li Yunlong was sandwiched between the brigade commander and division commander.
"Li Yunlong, you made so much money in northwest Shanxi, so you come to the headquarters empty-handed."
"They are digging and searching, but they don't bring anything good."
The brigade commander looked Li Yunlong up and down, with a hint of appreciation in his eyes and expression.
After all, Li Yunlong was also brought out by Brigadier Chen, who came out of the brigade. Li Yunlong has the current record, and the brigade commander's face is also bright.
"Didn't I give it to you?" Li Yunlong pretended to be stunned and said, "Why, brigade commander, you didn't receive it?"
"Give it to me." The brigade commander was slightly startled, "Why didn't I know when it happened?"
The teacher on the side also had a curious look on his face.
Li Yunlong gave something to the brigade commander, but not to me, the division commander.
Li Yunlong said:
"Oh, when I ambushed the 2nd Division last time, I deliberately gave Ding Wei and Kong Jie more infantry equipment. Didn't they hand it over?"
"These are not three to five hundred guns. This is weapons and equipment for ten thousand people. It is enough to equip an elite division."
"brigadier."
"Do you still like this big gift that Lao Li gave you?"
The weapons and equipment of these ten thousand people can equip an infantry regiment, and it is the kind of main force regiment.
This batch of weapons is not a small amount even if it is placed in the army, let alone the Eighth Route Army.
"Haha, you have some conscience, I didn't protect you in vain."
The brigade commander put his arm around Li Yunlong's shoulders and laughed, feeling happy.
As the brigade commander expected, Li Yunlong deliberately gave the equipment to Ding Wei and Kong Jie, and then Ding Wei and Kong Jie handed it over to the brigade headquarters.
The brigade commander received weapons and equipment, and Ding Wei and Kong Jie also received junior officers. They were able to complete the expansion as quickly as possible and everyone was happy.
Moreover, in several previous business transactions, Li Yunlong also gave the brigade commander a millimeter howitzer.
"Li Yunlong, the brigade commander has a meeting ceremony, but what about me, the division commander?"
"Now that your wings are strong, you don't recognize me as your master, right?"
The teacher on the side pushed up his glasses, pretended to be unhappy, and said in a sour tone.
Li Yunlong is so rich now that he gives a gift, which is weapons and equipment for a division. Even the head of the headquarters is not as generous as Li Yunlong.
It's almost astonishingly rich.
That guy Li Yunlong's regiment headquarters warehouse is probably much richer than the division headquarters warehouse!
"That's not possible. Sir, you will always be my teacher."
Li Yunlong first expressed his attitude, and then asked in a surprised tone:
"Why, didn't the division commander beat the brigade commander this time?"
The teacher immediately laughed and said, "I don't care about those three melons and two dates."
That's what he said, he didn't really want Li Yunlong to give him any kind of meeting gift.
In the past six months, almost half of the weapons and equipment that Li Yunlong handed over to the headquarters were used by the headquarters to equip the division's troops.
There is no other way. Who wants the headquarters to be together with the division headquarters?
Today's teachers are also extremely rich.
The main strength of a division is over 10,000 people. No other division in China can compare with it.
The teacher asked in a low voice: "Li Yunlong, tell me exactly how much wealth your new regiment has now."
"Teacher, please stop making fun of me. How can our Xinyi Group have any wealth?" Li Yunlong denied flatly, "We are so poor that we are almost begging for food."
"You guys are dishonest." The brigade commander also laughed and said, "If your new regiment is so poor that it is almost begging for food, then our division and brigade will be so poor that they will starve to death long ago. There are no outsiders here. Don't worry.
The division commander and I will never reveal a word to the head of the headquarters."
Li Yunlong looked at the division commander, then at the brigade commander, and then said: "It's really not many, the bullets are probably only tens of millions of rounds. If I didn't count the others carefully, I guess there aren't many."
"hiss!"
Hearing this, the division commander and brigade commander couldn't help but take a deep breath.
More than just being extremely rich
"You fucking call this so poor that you're almost begging for food."
Even with the brigade commander's composure, he couldn't help but widen his eyes and uttered a curse word.
This forces you, Li Yunlong, to pretend...
…
The jeep drove on the road for about an hour and a half, and the convoy came to a village.
This is the latest location of the Eighth Route Army headquarters and division headquarters. It is not too far from Yangcun, only about a few kilometers away.
Although southeastern Shanxi has been completely controlled by the Eighth Route Army, the headquarters and division headquarters still move frequently and will not work in a fixed location for a long time.
The motorcade stopped at the entrance of the village and everyone got out of the car.
"Taking a car is more comfortable than riding a horse." The chief expressed satisfaction.
This jeep can fold up the convertible in summer and mount an M heavy machine gun.
In winter, the convertible can be installed to prevent cold wind from blowing into the car.
The chief of staff nodded: "It's a pity that we don't have much fuel. Although Boss Chen has provided us with fuel, we still have to use it sparingly."
Right now, fuel is a strategic level material.
This time, Li Yunlong handed over another Jiefang brand car. There were many cars owned by the headquarters and the division.
The head of the headquarters plans to gather most of these vehicles and form a transportation support group, also known as a transportation group, under the direct jurisdiction of the headquarters.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! However, the headquarters does not have so many auto soldiers for the time being, and it will take some time to train auto soldiers.
Moreover, cultivating automobile soldiers requires a large amount of fuel. A ton of fuel seems to be a lot. If it is divided into each vehicle, each vehicle can only travel about kilometers.
Fortunately, this ton of fuel is only the first batch, and the weapons and ammunition will be delivered next.
There are also tons of fuel that will be delivered to Yangcun Airport one after another.
"Commander, Chief of Staff, I remember our Eighth Route Army has an oil field in Y, right?"
"How is the output?"
Li Yunlong stepped forward and asked the leader and chief of staff.
Li Yunlong knew that there was an oil field in Y, but he did not know the specific output. Xinyi Tuan did not have cars before, so he had not cared about this issue.
Later, Xinyi Tuan got a car, but the fuel was always provided by Boss Chen, so Li Yunlong didn't care about this issue.
However, after hearing the commander and chief of staff mention the fuel issue, Li Yunlong remembered that the Eighth Route Army also had an oil field.
"Yes, there is an oil field in Y, called Yanchang Oil Field."
The chief of staff nodded:
"The Yanchang Oilfield has abundant oil reserves, but due to the lack of exploration and mining machinery, well drilling and mining are now done manually, so the output is not high."
Although the Eighth Route Army has a complete fractionation process chain, it can process the crude oil produced by Yanchang Oilfield into kerosene, gasoline, lubricating oil, etc. Through deep processing of oil, it can also produce various dyes and inks.
However, due to relatively backward exploration and mining technology, production is relatively low.
Now the Eighth Route Army has more than one car, and relying on the fuel produced by the Yanchang Oilfield cannot supply the fuel needs of so many cars.
And it's far from enough.
What's more, the Eighth Route Army will have more cars in the future, totaling 10,000 vehicles.
After hearing what the chief of staff said, Li Yunlong nodded. He probably understood what the situation was like in Yanchang Oilfield.
Isn’t it just a lack of exploration and mining machines?
This is easy to say.
You can make money by doing business once or twice.
However, Li Yunlong didn't say anything like "it's all on me". He wanted to get the matter done first.
Although the Eighth Route Army’s fuel is now supplied by Boss Chen.
But if one day Boss Chen stops supplying, then the Eighth Route Army’s cars, tanks and armored vehicles, as well as future aircraft, will become decorations.
This is also an important reason why Li Yunlong wants to develop industries such as steel, cement, and arsenals.
In order to effectively ensure the needs of the war of resistance.
The Eighth Route Army must have its own oil fields, at least large oil fields with a daily output of hundreds or thousands of tons.
Li Yunlong kept this in mind.
Later, Li Yunlong followed the leader and chief of staff into the conference hall of the headquarters.
The conference hall of the headquarters is a large converted cave dwelling, which can accommodate dozens of people and can withstand bombings from Japanese planes.
It's very cold outside, but the conference hall at the headquarters is very warm.
The only people who followed into the conference hall were division commanders, brigade commanders and a few other leaders.
In the conference hall, Li Yunlong made a detailed report on the ambush plan and battle process for the last ambush of the Japanese division.
Later, Li Yunlong handed over the detailed information about recent domestic and foreign wars given by Boss Chen.
Includes information on the major battles of the Soviet-German War, the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, the Japanese attack on Southeast Asia, and the Third Battle of Changsha.
Not long after, it was lunch time, and Li Yunlong, the brigade commander and the division commander went to the canteen to have lunch.
Today Li Yunlong arrived, and the head of the headquarters specially ordered the cooking team to prepare some hard dishes.
The head of the headquarters and the chief of staff were looking at the detailed campaign information in their hands in the conference room, as if they had found a treasure.
"This information is simply too detailed."
After reading the details of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, the chief of staff said with emotion.
