"Then let's just eat this boring loss?" Fang Ligong said with an unconvinced look.
"This is more than a thousand guns, dozens of light and heavy machine guns, several mortars and countless ammunition. The New Second Regiment is so cheap!"
"I heard that after the last counter-mopping operation, the total strength of the New Second Regiment has been expanded to 6,000. With the equipment of the First Battalion, it will definitely be able to expand by another 2,000 men. Then the total strength of the New Second Regiment will exceed 8,000... …”
"I remember you said before that after defeating the Japs, we will have a battle with the Eighth Route Army sooner or later!"
"They have 8,000 elites, we only have 5,000, and there are still 2,000 without equipment. If there is a conflict between the two sides, aren't we going to be beaten by them?"
"Tuanzuo, you must find a way to get this equipment back..."
"This will not only restrict their continued development and growth, but also enhance our own strength!"
"If there is a conflict between the two sides, our 5,000 people can still fight against their 6,000 people, and we will not be beaten by them!"
Chu Yunfei was convinced, and his face became extremely serious. He thought for a while before speaking: "You are right, as long as there is a one in ten thousand chance, we cannot give up this batch of equipment and ammunition."
"In this way, you prepare more than a thousand kilograms of pork for me, 20,000 rounds of ammunition, and a hundred rounds of artillery shells... I will personally go to Zhaojiayu to thank Li Yunlong for helping us send troops to Lijia Town, and ask for this batch of equipment by the way!"
At the Zhaojiayu New Second Regiment Headquarters, Li Yunlong asked the cooking team to have extra meals when he returned here to celebrate today's harvest.
Zhang Dabiao followed closely and walked into the regiment headquarters. When he saw Li Yunlong, he said happily: "Regiment commander, political commissar, the 358th Regiment is indeed my mother's army, and the various equipment and ammunition supplies are so damn good! "
"I counted the harvest on the way back. How many good things do you think the troops seized in Lijia Town?"
"If you fart, hurry up, don't talk to me here, it will delay my drinking..." Li Yunlong said angrily.
Zhang Dabiao scratched his head and said happily: "Six mortars, six heavy machine guns, 28 light machine guns, 1524 79-caliber rifles, 26 submachine guns, 16 Mauser pistols..."
"The total number of bullets exceeds 200,000, as well as more than 8,000 grenades and 600 artillery shells..."
"The Japanese gave Qian Bojun 500 rifles, 15 light machine guns, three heavy machine guns, three mortars... 50,000 rounds of various bullets, 300 artillery shells, and 2,000 grenades..."
"We also seized 300,000 kilograms of various grains in Lijia Town, a large amount of clothing and other supplies... and six fans of pork alone, which is enough for us to have extra meals at noon!"
"Damn...it's finally my turn to make a fortune this time!" Li Yunlong shouted, slapping the table with a smile on his face.
"Zhang Dabiao, please listen to me and recruit troops in the base area immediately. I will use the captured weapons and ammunition to expand three more battalions!"
"Old Zhao, don't be idle. Immediately transfer deputies from other battalions and set up the three battalions for me as soon as possible... As soon as the new recruits arrive, immediately replenish the troops, issue equipment, and start training!"
"Send ten rounds of bullets to each soldier for live ammunition training, especially the new recruits. No soldier can be missed, and we must use the fastest speed to make them combat effective!"
"We finally made a fortune, so we should let the soldiers have fun together!"
"I have no objection!" Zhao Gang nodded and replied.
"The regiment leader... the political commissar... the 358th Regiment called. Their regiment leader Chu has already set off and plans to come to Zhaojiayu in person to express his gratitude to us..." The operator suddenly walked up to Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang to report.
"The debt collectors are here!" Zhao Gang's face instantly darkened, and he looked at Li Yunlong and said seriously.
"Old Li, I can guarantee that the real purpose of Chu Yunfei's visit is the weapons and ammunition we brought back from Lijia Town. You must be mentally prepared!"
"Chu Yunfei took the weapons and ammunition back before they were warmed up!"
Li Yunlong looked at Zhao Gang in surprise: "Old Zhao, when did you become so greedy?"
"I wasn't brought along by you!" Zhao Gang replied angrily!
"That's the equipment of three entire reinforced battalions, and it's not just a few guns. No one would be willing to part with it!"
Li Yunlong answered confidently: "Old Zhao, don't worry, since this batch of equipment has gone into my pocket, Li Yunlong, even ten Chu Yunfei won't be able to take it back!"
"Zhang Dabiao is going to recruit new soldiers now, and Lao Zhao is going to set up three battalions. I'll greet Chu Yunfei!"
"This time I want him to lose his wife and soldiers, and he has to thank me when he leaves..."
Two hours later, Chu Yunfei appeared at the entrance of Zhaojiayu Village with a team of mules and horses. When he saw Li Yunlong greeting him, he immediately pretended to be grateful and said: "Brother Yunlong..."
"You are so disrespectful to me Chu!"
"The battle in Lijia Town not only saved my life, but also helped the 358th Regiment a big favor. If your cavalry unit hadn't taken action in time, my first battalion would have been doomed!"
"I wanted to show my kindness as a landlord and thank Brother Yunlong, but Brother Yunlong refused to give Mr. Chu this opportunity. Mr. Chu could only bring gifts to Zhaojiayu to express his gratitude."
"Chu brought more than a thousand kilograms of pork, 20,000 rounds of ammunition, and a hundred rounds of artillery shells... to express his gratitude, please accept it, brother Yunlong!"
Li Yunlong immediately understood what Chu Yunfei was up to as soon as he rolled his eyes.
If I accept the thank you gift from him, I will naturally have to exchange the equipment of the first battalion as the reward for sending troops to the independent regiment.
However, this was all Chu Yunfei's wishful thinking. Li Yunlong didn't think so. Even if he accepted this thank you gift, the equipment he had obtained before would still not be returned to Chu Yunfei.
Zhao Gang on the side also saw Chu Yunfei's careful thoughts and kept winking at Li Yunlong, indicating that he should not accept the thank you gift from Chu Yunfei.
But Li Yunlong acted as if he didn't see it. He grabbed Chu Yunfei's hands and thanked him: "Brother Yunfei, you still know the difficulties of our Eighth Route Army!"
"I told you not to be ridiculous, my new second group has not served meat for two months..."
"With the pork you sent, every soldier in the independent group can get two ounces of meat, and I can also take advantage of it..."
"Twenty thousand rounds of bullets have solved my urgent need!"
"In the last counter-mopping operation, the New Second Regiment used up all the ammunition in its inventory!"
"Each soldier only has five bullets left. Although the bullets you brought are not many, you can still give each soldier four more bullets. If you are lucky, it will not be a problem to eliminate two to three hundred little devils..."
"Old Zhao, why are you still standing there? Hurry up and accept the thank you gift that Commander Chu gave us... Otherwise, Commander Chu will think that our new second regiment looks down on him!"
Zhao Gang didn't know why Li Yunlong did this, but he knew that Li Yunlong was not a loser!
Looking at the smile on his face, he looked like he was taking advantage of him. The worries in his heart disappeared instantly. He immediately organized people to receive the thank you gift, and then quickly returned to Li Yunlong, wanting to know how he would deal with Chu Yunfei's reception immediately. Come down to the request.
