Chapter 719 The head of the headquarters is ecstatic!
"Secret message?"
The leader and chief of staff were slightly stunned.
Under normal circumstances, the telegraph operator will say that the new group has an urgent call, or that the new group has sent a telegram.
And this time, a secret message was used, which means that the content of this telegram is very important, be careful of leaking it!
"Telegram to me!"
The chief of staff curiously took the telegram from the telegraph operator. The telegraph operator gave a military salute and turned around and left quickly.
Then, the chief of staff took the telegram and read it. As soon as he read the first page of the telegram, a smile broke out on the chief of staff's face.
After reading the second page, the smile on the chief of staff's face became even brighter.
By the time he finished reading the third page of the telegram, the chief of staff was already laughing from ear to ear.
Seeing the change in the smile on the chief of staff's face, the curiosity on the chief's face became more intense: "What benefits did Li Yunlong give you to make you so happy?"
"Chief, see for yourself."
The chief of staff smiled broadly and handed the telegram in his hand to the chief.
The chief took the telegram and read it with curiosity on his face.
"The New Regiment killed 250 aircraft. Boss Chen rewarded the New Regiment with 24 rocket launchers?"
"What kind of weapon is this rocket launcher?"
The chief did not rush to read the content on the second page, but looked at the chief of staff.
The chief of staff shook his head: "I don't know what kind of weapon this rocket launcher is, but since it was given by Boss Chen, it must be very powerful. Otherwise, Li Yunlong would not have applied to keep all of this weapon in the new regiment."
, wait until the next time you earn this weapon, turn it all over to the headquarters."
Although the Chief of Staff went to the Frunze Military Academy of the Soviet Union for further studies, that was more than ten years ago.
Although the Soviet rocket launcher research and development began in 1921, it was a secret research and was not secretly equipped to the troops until 1941.
so.
The chief of staff did not know what kind of weapon this rocket launcher was, but Li Yunlong instructed the head of the headquarters in the telegram to keep it secret.
The chief said: "But I estimate that this weapon should be very powerful, otherwise Li Yunlong would not make such a request."
"Li Yunlong said in the telegram," the chief of staff said, "This weapon can only achieve its maximum power when used intensively, so it should be a weapon that covers artillery fire."
The leader nodded and continued to look at the next page. The second page was about leaving 24 rocket launchers in the new regiment, and all the rocket launchers earned next time would be owned by the headquarters.
The leader glanced at the contents of the second page and continued to read the telegram on the third page.
"Kill 16 Japanese generals and reward a new group of 16 aircraft, to be delivered in June!?"
Seeing this, the chief's eyes widened immediately, and he couldn't help but show an extremely happy look on his face, which was exactly the same as the chief of staff's expression just now after reading the telegram.
"real or fake?"
The chief sounded confused.
"It shouldn't be false." The chief of staff said, "Li Yunlong will definitely not lie in this regard. These 16 aircraft should already belong to the new regiment. However, since our Eighth Route Army does not have pilots yet, we have to wait until the flight cadets graduate.
Boss Chen will deliver it when the time comes."
The commander nodded and asked, "How are the four Japanese pilots we captured doing now?"
"Now they have been taken to the Central Hebei Military Region for close surveillance." The chief of staff said, "The Japanese army has not given up on rescuing these pilots yet. Chief, are you trying to instigate these Japanese pilots and then let them
Is there a Japanese pilot serving our Eighth Route Army?"
The anti-war alliance established by the Eighth Route Army instigated many Japanese rebels to join the Eighth Route Army. After joining the Eighth Route Army, these Japanese fought bravely in battles.
"I'm just asking casually," the chief said, "I definitely won't do that. We'd better wait for the pilots to graduate."
If the Japanese pilots pretended to surrender and flew the Eighth Route Army's planes to the Japanese, the Eighth Route Army's losses would be huge.
The chief of staff said: "That's what I mean too."
After a pause, the chief of staff sighed again: "Chief, have you noticed that Boss Chen seems to be becoming more and more generous, and his actions are becoming more and more generous."
"Yes!" The leader nodded, "The weapons and ammunition required to destroy the Class A division are three times the number, and the sound of recently killing Japanese aircraft is also double. Moreover, this time it is equivalent to giving away 16 aircraft and 24 rocket launchers in vain."
"What I originally wanted was to ask Li Yunlong to hand over 12 rocket launchers."
"But for the sake of these 16 aircraft, these 24 rocket launchers should be kept in the New Regiment. The next time Li Yunlong earns money from the rocket launchers, he will hand them over to the headquarters."
Based on the name, the chief guessed that the rocket launcher was a new type of weapon.
For new weapons, the leader certainly wants to try them out.
"This is not necessarily a loss-making deal for our headquarters." The chief of staff smiled slightly, "This time Li Yunlong and his regiment shot down 44 aircraft and 44 pilots, and earned more than 300 cannons, enough to equip 10
An artillery regiment, I think Li Yunlong’s intestines are about to turn green.”
After a pause, the chief of staff changed the topic and said, "By the way, Yan Xishan has sent a telegram back regarding the technicians at the arsenal."
"Oh?" the chief asked, "What did Yan Xishan say?"
The chief of staff said: "Yan Xishan proposed that we provide the Shanxi-Sui Army with three divisions of fine art equipment, and then he would hand over more than 2,500 arsenal technicians to our Eighth Route Army."
"Three divisions of fine weapons and equipment?" the commander snorted coldly, "Yan Xishan has a pretty good idea!"
Even the Eighth Route Army only has the New First Regiment, the New Second Regiment and the Independent Regiment equipped with fine art equipment. In total, only 80,000 people are equipped with fine art equipment.
It is equivalent to 8 art mechanics. He Yan Xishan opened his mouth and wanted 3 art mechanics at once.
When the Japanese army attacked fiercely, the Jinsui Army would rather sink the mountain cannon into the river than leave it to the Eighth Route Army. Later, the Eighth Route Army salvaged the mountain cannon and returned the 105mm howitzer to the Jinsui Army, while the 75mm mountain cannon was left behind by the Eighth Route Army.
The policy of the Eighth Route Army was to unite all forces to resist Japan, but later Yan Laoxi followed Principal Chang's orders and caused friction with the Eighth Route Army.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! But the Eighth Route Army is not used to Yan Laoxi. If you dare to mess with me, I will dare to mess with you.
"Yan Laoxi, who is a businessman, always wants to get some benefits." The chief of staff said, "But the other party's reply shows that they also have this intention of exchange."
"The most I can give Yan Laoxi is an art troupe." The leader waved his hand and said, "If you change it, you will change it. If you don't change it, you will pull it down. Do you really think that those skilled workers are a piece of cake?"
"In half a year at most, our Eighth Route Army will be able to train a group of skilled workers ourselves."
The chief of staff said: "Okay, then I will send a report to Li Yunlong and Yan Laoxi."
…
Luliang Mountain.
Kenanpo.
Second Theater Command Chief's Department.
"This Li Yunlong is actually so brave..."
Headquarters, Yan Xishan couldn't help but sigh with emotion after listening to Deputy Commander Yang Xingru read the clear coded telegram sent by the new regiment.
"Yes, Commander!"
Yang Xingru echoed:
"In less than two years, Li Yunlong actually led his troops to kill 16 Japanese generals. This record is a bit scary."
"Fortunately, Li Yunlong only attacked the Japanese and did not become enemies of our Jinsui Army, otherwise..."
Yang Xingru didn't say anything else, but Yan Xishan knew exactly what he was going to say.
Otherwise, I am afraid that he, Yan Xishan, would have become a dead soul at the sword of Li Yunlong of the Eighth Route Army.
Yan Xishan took a deep breath and said, "Order all units of the Shanxi-Sui Army not to provoke Li Yunlong's troops. No, they must not provoke the Eighth Route Army."
This clear telegram sent by the New Regiment really frightened Yan Xishan.
The Japanese were determined to retaliate. Li Yunlong led his troops to kill 16 Japanese generals, but he is still alive and well. The Japanese had nothing to do with Li Yunlong.
This shows that Li Yunlong is stronger than Yan Xishan imagined.
Yan Xishan has no doubt that just the new regiment of Li Yunlong's Eighth Route Army can defeat the entire Shanxi-Sui Army.
Therefore, now Yan Xishan does not even dare to provoke the Eighth Route Army. If the Eighth Route Army headquarters sends a new regiment to deal with the Shanxi-Sui Army, it will be very bad.
"Yes, Commander." Yang Xingru responded first, and then said hesitantly, "Then Chairman Chiang ordered our Jinsui Army to engage in friction with the Eighth Route Army..."
"Old Chiang is such a loser." Yan Xishan snorted coldly: "You can't fight the Japanese, but you are good at fighting within. It's all bullshit to say that you must first pacify the country when fighting foreigners."
"The commander of the First War Zone, Wei Lihuang, refused to obey Chairman Chiang's order to cause friction with the Eighth Route Army, and was dismissed from his post by Chiang Kai-shek."
"He just wants to use the help of our Jinsui Army to weaken the Eighth Route Army. If our Jinsui Army and the Eighth Route Army are both defeated, and the Japanese cross the Yellow River to attack Shaanxi, what good will it do to the national army?"
"I, Yan Xishan, will not be fooled by his old friend, Chiang Kai-shek."
Despite Chief Yan's righteous words, he has arrested and killed Communist Party members many times in recent years.
What he said now was just to assess the situation and not dare to provoke the Eighth Route Army when he saw that it was getting stronger.
"Report!"
"Come in!"
A communications staff officer walked in quickly with a folder under his arm and gave a military salute: "Commander, deputy commander, the Eighth Route Army headquarters is calling."
After finishing speaking, the communications staff member opened the folder and handed the telegram to Yang Xingru. The communications staff member turned around and left quickly.
Yang Xingru took the telegram, read it, and said: "Commander, for those arsenal workers, the Eighth Route Army is only willing to provide one regiment of fine art equipment."
"A group?"
After a pause, Yang Xingru frowned and said in an unhappy tone:
"Commander, the Eighth Route Army is sending beggars away for a regiment's fine weapons and equipment?"
The Japanese army is so powerful in combat, what use can a regiment’s fine weapons and equipment be used for?
"Commander." Yan Xishan smiled slightly, "The gap between regiments is also very large. For example, the New Regiment of the Eighth Route Army, although it is also a regiment, has 40,000 people."
"The 358th Regiment directly under our Jinsui Army Headquarters is also a regiment, but its strength is 5,000."
"What you mean," Yang Xingru's eyes lit up slightly, "is to ask the Eighth Route Army to provide the 358th Regiment with the fine weapons and equipment of a regiment of 5,000 men?"
"That's what I mean." Yan Xishan said, "This is the bottom line of our Jinsui Army. We don't need to talk about equipment less than this amount. Wait two days and then send a reply to the Eighth Route Army. In addition, send a message to the new regiment of the Eighth Route Army."
A commendation telegram to congratulate the new regiment on their great victory, killing 16 Japanese generals, frightening the enemy and strengthening our military power."
