Huzi completed the task very well. With Zhang Wanhe taking sugar and medicine to the field hospital to help poach, it would be twice the result with half the effort!
Many soldiers and cadres who had their organizations abolished and were recuperating and waiting for assignment could not help but be persuaded by Zhang Wanhe. They took the initiative to report to their superiors and requested to be transferred to join Li Yunlong's team.
When the time comes, just wait for the order to be issued, and follow Huzi to escort the military uniforms to Baiwanyu to join Li Yunlong.
In Yaojiayu, the traces of the banquet on the threshing floor have long been removed, and the troops are lined up neatly waiting for Li Yunlong's arrival.
Today Li Yunlong will hold a team joining ceremony for Wang Kai and others, and then allocate personnel according to abilities to expand the team size.
Li Yunlong took Wei Dayong to the front of the queue, looked at the team of more than 500 people, and nodded with satisfaction.
"Today, let us welcome all new comrades to join the team!"
The soldiers applauded enthusiastically.
After a while, Li Yunlong, who kept laughing, watched the applause gradually subside. When he raised his hand, the soldiers suddenly fell silent.
Immediately afterwards, Li Yunlong shouted with great force in his broken gong voice.
"I, Li Yunlong, don't know anything else but beat up little devils!"
"Since brothers are following me, Li Yunlong, to fight the Japanese, you must show off the momentum of a wild wolf!"
"Beasts like wolves are fierce and cunning. When a pack of wolves comes, tigers will be afraid of them!"
"From now on, we must let the devils know that when they encounter us, they encounter a pack of wild wolves, a pack of howling wild wolves!"
"In the eyes of us wolves, any opponent who calls the formation is a piece of meat in our mouth!"
"We eat the flesh of the enemy and chew his bones to pieces. A wolf travels a thousand miles to eat meat, and a dog travels a thousand miles to eat shit!"
"Brothers, do you think so?"
The momentum of the soldiers was mobilized, very high, and the sound was overwhelming, "Wild Wolf!"
"Wild wolf!"
"Eat meat!"
"Eat meat!"
Li Yunlong put his hands behind his back and looked at the team in front of him with satisfaction. The next step was to adjust the personnel team.
This batch of rescued prisoners of war has many talents. Not to mention some of the officers among them, most of them are company and platoon-level cadres. The highest one is a captain and battalion commander in charge of logistics and transportation. In the original army, that was a Motor Transport Camp.
And he himself is also a person who is proficient in machinery, which reminded Li Yunlong that Brother Xu told him that he could also get mechanical equipment.
After Li Yunlong learned about the capabilities of the captain named Tang Yun, he became interested and planned to build an ordnance depot of his own, so that he could at least be self-sufficient in ammunition.
There are also many gunners and machine gunners inside, and there are even a few radio operators, the kind who have mastered the telecommunications code.
They were the most seriously injured, and the little devils tortured them hard, trying to dig out the national army's code translation from their mouths.
Of course, Li Yunlong was not interested in this. He just handed over the code translation and handed it over to the headquarters to think about and judge its usefulness.
What he thought of was that he could ask Brother Xu to get him some radio stations, so that it would be much easier to communicate with his superiors in the future.
Moreover, when the team grows in the future, it will be easier for him to issue orders and command the troops.
Now the entire team has 561 people, which is equivalent to a reinforced battalion. Li Yunlong decided to transform it into four infantry companies, each with 120 people.
A sixty-man artillery company, the remaining technical personnel are organized into the battalion headquarters and logistics team.
Li Yunlong began to issue appointments, "Liu Bo, commander of the first company!"
"Second Company Commander Zhang Dabiao!"
"Third company commander Huang Tianning!"
"Fourth Company Commander Xie Xiaoming!"
"Artillery Battery Commander Wang Chengzhu!"
"Logistics team leader Tang Yun!"
"Each department dispersed and assigned personnel, and the team rested for two days, ready to go to Baiwanyu at any time!"
"The missing weapons and uniforms will be distributed uniformly when the time comes. Execute the order!"
At this time, it depends on the capabilities of each company commander. Li Yunlong only said that they should be dispersed and distributed, but he did not specify which soldiers.
Who wouldn’t want to have elite soldiers and generals under his command? The scene suddenly became lively. The four infantry company commanders tried their best to give their companies the best.
Wang Chengzhu was not worried at all. Their artillery company had priority in selection. With what the battalion commander said, the four company commanders lost their temper.
Fortunately, artillery was highly technical, and there were many artillerymen in the original national army. Wang Chengzhu quickly selected enough people, and then imitated Li Yunlong and watched the fun with a smile.
From time to time, he would come up with bad ideas and try to distract them.
After watching the excitement for a while, Li Yunlong went back to the house with his hands behind his back, but the monk stayed behind, got a handful of melon seeds from somewhere, and watched the excitement while cracking the melon seeds.
Li Yunlong was sitting on the kang, eating peanuts and thinking about his family fortune.
There are still many gaps in rifles and submachine guns. As for machine guns, each company has six machine guns, and four are still missing.
As for artillery, Li Yunlong planned to equip each of the four infantry companies with two 60 mortars.
The artillery company has six 81mm mortars, coupled with two field guns, it has complete direct and indirect firepower.
As for the super bazooka, these ten are enough for the time being.
The only thing left is to get a few more radio stations, grenades and various ammunition.
The weapons are really easy to use, and Li Yunlong also realizes the terrifying consumption rate of this ammunition. Now the ammunition reserve in the team has basically bottomed out, which makes Li Yunlong feel very uneasy.
Li Yunlong squinted his eyes, "Brother Xu, there should be 10,000 yuan left over there that is useless. Now I still have two lieutenant's knives and a major's knife in my hand, which is 1,400 yuan!"
According to the price given by Brother Xu, Li Yunlong started to think about it.
After a while, Li Yunlong basically figured it out. He took out the communicator from his arms and started a voice chat with Xu Gaoxiang.
"Brother, you've been doing so well lately, hahaha."
"You have to prepare more ammunition for your brother and me this time, and get us two more useful cannons, and..."
Far away near Qixian County, Xu Gaoxiang, who had arrived one step ahead, was resting in a courtyard. This was the home of a friend of Lin Dong's family in Hexingju.
After receiving Li Yunlong's voice, Xu Gaoxiang laughed. It seemed that Li Yunlong was just as he expected. Not only had the size of the army expanded, but the ammunition in his hands was also almost exhausted.
"Hahaha, don't worry, brother, I guarantee you'll be satisfied. Brother, just wait in Baiwanyu for me to deliver the goods to your door!"
Xu Gaoxiang clicked on the platform and, following Li Yunlong's request, began to focus on selecting useful radios and 75mm field guns.
Considering that Li Yunlong is still mainly active near mountainous areas, portability and weight must be taken into consideration, and the power must also be taken into consideration. It must be at least one level higher than the little devil's infantry gun and 75mm field gun.
Then there is no way around the German Krupp and the American M series.
Looking at the dazzling variety of 75mm field guns on the platform, Xu Gaoxiang first discarded those that were overweight and those that were inconvenient for transportation in complex terrain in mountainous areas.
This eliminated most of the options, and then compared the range and power with the little devil's field artillery, I carefully selected it for a long time.
Xu Gaoxiang looked at the data introduction of the cannon in front of him and showed a satisfied smile, "Old Li will definitely be satisfied!"
