After talking with Li Yunlong, Li Qiufan asked the soldiers to bring weapons and equipment, and then rushed back to his station.
"Old Zhao! Old Zhao!"
As soon as he returned to the station, Li Qiufan went to find Zhao Gang and planned to tell him about the army.
"Qiu Fan, I was about to look for you. I heard that you brought back a batch of equipment? Did the teacher give it to you?"
Zhao Gang looked at Li Qiufan with some confusion. He thought it was something Li Qiufan brought back from the division headquarters.
"It wasn't given by the division headquarters, it was given by Lao Li. He felt that we suffered a loss in the last battle, so he specially made up for it."
Li Qiufan told Zhao Gang about Li Yunlong, and Zhao Gang suddenly realized it. Then Li Qiufan continued: "By the way, Lao Zhao, I just mentioned this matter. I have something to discuss with you."
"you say."
Zhao Gang nodded and waited for Li Qiufan to speak.
"I'm going to give Lao Li a gift in return and give him two 105mm howitzers. What do you think?"
Li Qiufan had already thought about it when he was at Li Yunlong's place and gave him a few cannons. This was what Lao Li lacked the most.
"Two howitzers? Such a big deal?"
Zhao Gang was shocked by Li Qiufan's words. This was not a mortar grenade. This was a real heavy artillery piece. Li Qiufan actually gave it away as soon as he said it would.
"Yes, there are two matching cars and car soldiers, and two gunners for him. After all, no one in his place knows how to do this."
Li Qiufan nodded. Not only did he deliver the cannon, but he also helped Lao Li get everything ready in one step, and directly matched the people and transportation tools.
"Damn it, Qiu Fan, don't let anything float away. The artillery is fine, but the artillery and automobile soldiers can't be sent randomly!"
Zhao Gang's eyes widened. He didn't expect that Li Qiufan would even send his troops out.
These are not ordinary soldiers. These are soldiers with skills. It takes a long time to train one.
"Old Zhao, we can't be picky and picky as human beings. He, Old Li, treats me as his brother, and I can't do anything wrong to him!"
Li Qiufan said categorically, but Li Yunlong had nothing to say to him, thinking that he had suffered a loss, and without saying a word, he gave away the equipment of a large group of Japanese soldiers, which could form two battalions.
"Okay, if you want to give it away, just give it away. I just feel a little sad. We have trained these people for a long time!"
Zhao Gang was still a little reluctant to give up, but Li Qiufan had made up his mind and he did not dare to say anything. After all, Li Yunlong had indeed done the right thing.
"By the way, there's one more thing!"
"From today on, we will be placed under the Taiyue Military Region, under the command of the old brigade commander, and the division headquarters will be merged with the headquarters."
Li Qiufan remembered what the division commander said again, and told Zhao Gang about the headquarters' order.
After hearing this, Zhao Gang nodded and said nothing. Anyway, no matter who commanded it, they were all troops of the Eighth Route Army, and they could just fight the Japanese.
After chatting with Zhao Gang for a while, Li Qiufan called Heizi to the artillery regiment.
"Lao Ma, pick out two artillerymen. They must be able to play 105 mm howitzers!"
After arriving at the third group, Li Qiufan directly called Lao Ma over and asked him to pick people.
Lao Ma didn't think much and called the two soldiers out.
"Old Ma, just the two of them, bring out two more cars, mount two howitzers, and load ten boxes of shells!"
Li Qiufan looked at the two soldiers and nodded, then directed Lao Ma to drive and mount the cannon.
"Brigadier, do you have a combat mission?"
Lao Ma was a little confused. He pulled out two cannons so smoothly. Could it be that there was going to be another war?
"There is no mission. I want to give Li Yunlong a gift. Two cannons, two cars, and four people. This is a gift."
Li Qiufan said expressionlessly, but his heart was bleeding. These are all his soldiers, and they are the best!
"Brigadier! What are you doing! This is our family fortune!"
When Lao Ma heard what Li Qiufan said, he quit on the spot and went to drive and firecrackers without saying anything.
"Old Ma! You don't even listen to what I say!"
Li Qiufan was a little helpless. He knew that Lao Ma took it seriously, but he didn't expect it to be so serious that he even talked back to him.
"Brigadier, we don't have to tell you if you want to fight, but we don't even have to send artillery!"
Lao Ma also lost his temper and got into a fight with Li Qiufan.
"Lao Ma, do you want to learn how to play with a cannon?"
Seeing that the hard one was not enough, Li Qiufan started to use the soft one, using cannons to seduce the old horse.
"I'm not a three-year-old child. Brigadier, you will have to teach me sooner or later. Is it possible that the cannon is still allowed to have offspring?"
Lao Ma rolled his eyes, having already seen through Li Qiufan's little thoughts, and said calmly.
"Huh huh, huh?"
"That's good! Heizi! Transfer Lao Ma to the first regiment and let Erhu be the squad leader. I will personally serve as the commander of the artillery regiment!"
Li Qiufan saw that Lao Ma was unwilling to accept his soft words, so he directly used his ultimate move and transferred Lao Ma to the infantry regiment.
"Brigadier! You can't do this! We, old Marco, are artillerymen. Why are you transferring me to the infantry?"
Lao Ma was dumbfounded. He didn't expect Li Qiufan to be so cruel and cut off his path.
"Haha, old horse, I want to give you two cannons, will you let me give them to you?"
Seeing that it was almost done, Li Qiufan looked at Lao Ma with a smile and asked.
"Oh, give it away, give it away. You are the brigade commander and you are the biggest. It is your family's fortune anyway. If you don't feel sorry for me, why should I feel sorry for you!"
Lao Ma compromised. In order not to go to the infantry and to be able to shoot artillery in the future, he had no choice but to give in.
"Okay, don't be so embarrassed. They went to Lao Li's army. Lao Li can't help them. They might be better off than what we had here. They are all precious little things!"
Li Qiufan patted Lao Ma on the shoulder and comforted him.
But Li Qiufan was right. These people and the cannons went to Li Yunlong's place, and Li Yunlong would really be willing to offer them up. After all, he, Old Li, had never played with such a big cannon.
Then under Li Qiufan's order, the two cavalry battalions set off with Li Qiufan escorting the two howitzers.
In addition, Li Qiufan added four 75mm mountain cannons and two boxes of artillery shells. After all, he captured six 150mm field cannons this time. In the final analysis, he took a huge advantage.
In Li Yunlong's station, Li Yunlong, who was sunbathing in the courtyard, suddenly received news from the sentry that two battalions of cavalry and two cars were driving towards his station.
When Li Yunlong heard that there was a car, the first thing he thought of was the Japanese. After all, the National Army would not come to his place for a walk, and he knew no one in the Eighth Route Army who could drive.
But he had forgotten about Li Qiufan and didn't take the gift Li Qiufan said to heart, so he didn't think about him at all.
Thinking of this, Li Yunlong quickly took the money and ran out, and then led the troops to the location where the car was found.
"No, why is this guy walking so slowly?"
Li Yunlong scratched his head in confusion, wondering why the march was so slow.
"Brigadier, why do I look like the uniform of our Eighth Route Army?"
Duan Peng, who was standing next to him, said suddenly. He took a closer look and found that it was not a Japanese military uniform at all.
"Hey, it's true! Come with me and have a look!"
Li Yunlong squinted his eyes and found out that it was indeed the uniform of the Eighth Route Army, and immediately led the people out.
