On the second day, a winter snow fell, the sky and the earth became pure white, and everything calmed down.
We received news from the town that the Japs' encirclement and suppression campaign had failed again, and the Japs and the puppet troops could already be seen returning to their respective stations.
Moreover, when they heard that the Eighth Route Army had killed a regiment leader, people in the town were talking excitedly.
Comparing the Jinsui Army and the Central Army in front of me, I couldn't help but feel disappointed. They turned a blind eye and were indifferent.
Ordinary people don't know much about politics. They only know about this group of people, and they watch helplessly as the little devils come to harm them.
The road was blocked by heavy snow, and it would take some time for Lin Jiadu to return. Xu Gaoxiang opened the platform and thought about choosing two useful light and heavy machine guns for Li Yunlong.
For 1,500 oceans, after deducting a hundred rifles, you can still buy six light machine guns and two heavy machine guns.
Here Xu Gaoxiang is making careful selections, and over there Li Yunlong finally arrived with the new regiment at the garrison defense area designated by the headquarters.
After arranging the soldiers properly, Li Yunlong was waiting for Zhang Dabiao to report the casualties and remaining belongings of the entire regiment in the simple regiment headquarters.
"Tell me, what are the casualties of our regiment this time?"
Zhang Dabiao spoke with a heavy tone, "The first battalion suffered 189 casualties, 65 light and serious casualties, 3 company and platoon cadres died, the second battalion suffered 106 casualties, 72 light and serious casualties, 2 platoon-level cadres died, the third battalion suffered 93 casualties, light and serious casualties 43 people, 1 company-level cadre died, communications class..."
Li Yunlong interrupted Zhang Dabiao with a look of pain on his face, "Stop, stop, give me the total! I've suffered a big loss this time!"
Zhang Dabiao took a deep breath and said, "The whole regiment has a total of 410 casualties and 182 light and serious casualties. In terms of weapons and equipment, there are 934 rifles, 17 light machine guns, two heavy machine guns, two mortars, and 3,000 rifle ammunition." Multiple rounds, more than a thousand light and heavy machine gun bullets, 6 mortar shells, the flares are not used, and the grenades are basically exhausted!"
After listening to Zhang Dabiao's report, Li Yunlong felt a toothache, and all the money he had finally saved was almost exhausted this time.
"Okay, let's report the casualties to the brigade headquarters!"
There are gains and losses. Although the casualties are not small, after this battle, the momentum of the whole regiment has increased. As long as it develops for a while, it will still be a well-known main regiment.
Moreover, the casualties of the Japs were also very high. Coupled with the bombardment of Sakata's headquarters, the casualties this time were completely acceptable.
"Hmph! If only the guys in my hands were tougher!" Li Yunlong was pleased with himself. It seemed that if it weren't for the lack of manpower, he might have wanted to directly annihilate the Sakata United Team.
Speaking of guys, Li Yunlong thought of Brother Xu, who also had equipment to strengthen his company!
Li Yunlong put his hand into his arms and touched the square communicator. He felt relieved immediately, "Haha, wait for two more days. When the road is easier, let Brother Xu quickly deliver the weapons!"
"I wonder how many oceans this colonel's command sword can be exchanged for?"
Li Yunlong looked at the falling snow outside the window, "Auspicious snow heralds a good harvest! Haha!"
Taking advantage of the heavy snow that sealed the mountains, the Japs would not make any big moves for the time being. Li Yunlong had some free time and sat cross-legged on the kang at the regiment headquarters, constantly cracking melon seeds with deep eyes.
He is thinking about waiting for each battalion and company to resume its organizational structure, and then mobilize a group of capable soldiers to form a directly affiliated reinforced company. "Then we will use these command knives and Brother Xu to exchange some weapons, and gradually change the equipment of the first battalion, second battalion, and third battalion." !”
"Recruit a group of soldiers from various district squads, county brigades and other militia organizations within the jurisdiction!"
Li Yunlong thought of the beauty, his face turned into a flower with a smile, "Hey, by then the new group will be a veritable main force! It's so wonderful! Hahaha..."
"It's best to exchange some mountain cannons with Brother Xu. We can eat these little devils' strongholds nearby whenever we want!"
Li Yunlong has already begun to think about the little devils in the county town. As long as he makes big moves, he still worries about attracting the little devils in the county town?
And when the little devils from the county town are dispatched, at least they are a squadron. Isn't this commanding sword coming? Although it’s just a Wei Guan knife, the mosquito legs are also meat!
As long as the ambush is properly carried out, Li Yunlong can quickly resolve the battle with only one battalion of troops, relying on the firepower of the strengthened company and a quick attack.
He, Li Yunlong, is not greedy. As long as he comes here a few more times, the little things add up. After a few times of this, it will not be a dream for the whole group to change their costumes!
A few days later, Xu Gaoxiang, who was still in Qingfu Building and had completed his first transaction with Hexingju, was having a banquet with three hosts. "Thank you all hosts for your kindness. I'm very drunk. Please..."
Just when Xu Gaoxiang was about to decline the three bosses' invitation to drink, the communicator he had been carrying vibrated.
After confessing to the others, Xu Gaoxiang took advantage of the situation and proposed that he wanted to rest as soon as possible and left the banquet.
Xu Gaoxiang returned to the room, asked Jushi and Arnold to guard the door, took out the contact device, and pressed the play button. Li Yunlong's eager voice immediately rang out, "Brother Xu, everything is going well! Hahaha!"
Xu Gaoxiang couldn't help but smile. He didn't ask about the weapon immediately. It was also difficult for him, Li Yunlong, and he actually started to talk in a roundabout way.
Replied quickly, maybe Li Yunlong was staring at the communicator eagerly.
This made Xu Gaoxiang guess. Here, Li Yunlong was muttering anxiously, looking at the unresponsive communicator, "Isn't it broken? Wait a moment!"
Suddenly, the communicator vibrated and the indicator light came on. Li Yunlong immediately beamed, "Haha, Brother Xu really keeps his word!"
Quickly following Brother Xu's instructions, Li Yunlong pressed the play button, and Xu Gaoxiang's voice immediately came out, "Hahaha, congratulations, brother, I heard that your Captain Li shot and killed Captain Sakata! I didn't say it, it's true Well done!”
Li Yunlong laughed and immediately replied, "Thanks to the cannon sent by my brother, we, Lao Li, have to treat you to a drink:"
After a while, Xu Gaoxiang's reply came, "That's great. Brother, you are so good. I should treat you to it. I happen to have two bottles of fine Fenjiu here!"
Hearing that there was good Fenjiu, Li Yunlong smacked his lips and said, "Haha, that's good, we, Old Li, are in for a treat!"
Finally getting to the point, Xu Gaoxiang asked directly, "Old Li, how are you? Do you have Sakata's command knife in your hand?!"
Li Yunlong smiled proudly, "It's just a command knife, but I have it at my fingertips, and there are more than one!"
"That's great. Lao Li, please give me a place and time. Brother, how about I come to visit you with good wine and weapons for a good tasting?"
Listening to Xu Gaoxiang's words, Li Yunlong asked Xu Gaoxiang's current location, then lay down on the map and looked at it, "Brother Xu, go to Qinshui County. There is a Xingjia Village 50 miles west of Gushui Town. Lao Li, I am now Just stay here!"
"It's okay for the latest period of time. We, Lao Li, are waiting for you, Brother Xu, to visit us at any time!"
Looking at the silent communicator, he felt particularly comfortable. Li Yunlong couldn't help but look forward to it. He put the communicator away and hummed a Dabie Mountain tune briskly.
