The company commanders dispersed. Just as Li Yunlong was about to leave, Zhao Gang stopped him, "Captain Li, I have a question. With the team expanding like this, can we keep up with the weapons and equipment?"
"I found that the weapons of the soldiers are somewhat different from those of our brother troops. Are the sources of weapons and ammunition stable?"
Li Yunlong laughed, "Hey, don't worry, our team is not short of weapons and ammunition now. We just annihilated a squadron of little Japs a few days ago."
"As long as Old Li and I say hello to Brother Xu, weapons and ammunition will be delivered immediately!"
Zhao Gang asked Xu Gaoxiang naturally, "Oh? Who is this brother Xu?"
Li Yunlong had asked Xu Gaoxiang before, and Xu Gaoxiang didn't mind others asking about his origins.
"Haha, that's my dead brother, Li Yunlong. Our team can develop into what it is today, all thanks to Brother Xu's righteousness and wealth!"
Zhao Gang nodded, "He is a patriotic activist!"
Li Yunlong and Yourong laughed, "Hey, by the way, Brother Xu's contribution doesn't stop there. Recently, with Brother Xu's help, we also established a quilt factory and an ordnance factory!"
Zhao Gang was a little surprised, "Belt and clothing factory? Ordnance factory?"
I thought I had received enough surprises today, but I didn't expect there was an even bigger surprise waiting for me.
Li Yunlong got excited when he talked about the quilt factory and the ordnance factory, "Hahaha, political commissar, guess what the daily output of our quilt factory and the ordnance factory is now?"
Looking at Li Yunlong's happy expression, Zhao Gang guessed that the output must be unexpectedly good.
"Haha, nothing more, nothing less. The quilt factory produces 200 sets of ready-made clothes and 100 quilts per day. The Ordnance Institute produces 300 rounds of reloading bullets and 50 grenades per day!"
"Moreover, when Mr. Xu delivers more required lathes and other mechanical equipment, the scale of production capacity will be further expanded!"
"Hey, hey, hey, by then our base area will no longer be self-sufficient. It will be no problem even to support other brother troops!"
Zhao Gang also had a smile on his face, "Okay, that's great!"
"With this quilt factory and ordnance factory, our team will have no worries, which is extremely beneficial to the anti-Japanese cause!"
Li Yunlong nodded, "Haha, political commissar, you came just in time. This is when the quilt factory and the ordnance factory are short of management personnel. I have been troublesome to Brother Xu to take care of it, and we, Lao Li, have always felt guilty."
"It's good that you're here. From now on, I, Old Li, will hand over the management responsibilities to you, the political commissar. It's a heavy responsibility!"
Zhao Gang was full of confidence and energy, "Don't worry! Commander Li, I will definitely manage the development of the quilt factory and the ordnance factory, and strive to reach that scale and output as soon as possible!"
Just do it, Zhao Gang said goodbye to Li Yunlong, and headed to the quilt factory to start work under the leadership of Hu Zi.
Li Yunlong let out a breath. It's better now. Political Commissar Zhao should be busy for a while.
Next... Li Yunlong asked the monk to bring a map, and began to think about the Jaap gun tower strongholds on the east side of the base area, on the edge of Taiyue Mountain.
As long as these stronghold gun towers are cleared, it will be easier to attack the Baijin Railway.
Maybe, with the cooperation of his brother troops, Li Yunlong could directly cut off the entire Baijin Railway.
"Hmph, Nanguan?!"
Li Yunlong circled Nanguan, an important node of the Baijin Railway, on the map.
Different from Yingdong Jixiao Station, Nanguan is an important node of the Baijin Railway. Nanguan Railway Station is located at the center of the junction of Taihang and Taiyue base areas. It is located between the canyons and is home to Wuxiang, Qixian, and Pingyao. A large town at the junction of three counties, it is a fortress for access to Shangdang and the throat of the Baijin Railway.
The Japanese army stored a large amount of explosives and other military supplies in the town, which was a large supply station.
As long as this Nanguan Station is destroyed, it is equivalent to hitting the snake seven inches, and the little devil's plan to divide and protect our army's base area will be shattered!
Li Yunlong made up his mind and started researching immediately. He planned to wait for Brother Xu's supplies to arrive, and immediately send out a team to clean the gun tower stronghold and open up the passage.
At the same time, people are sent to inquire about the specific information of Nanguan Station, and strive to capture Nanguan Station in one fell swoop!
Within a few days, Zhao Gang had completely clarified the work of the Clothing Factory and the Ordnance Factory, further checked for deficiencies, improved Xu Gaoxiang's various systems, optimized management and production models, and achieved remarkable results.
The personnel arrangement list of the three battalions was also handed over. Li Yunlong made some changes and informed Zhao Gang. After both of them had no objection, they reported the list to the brigade commander.
Since receiving the report of Li Yunlong's application for an official designation, the brigade commander was also very happy. He finally got some good news amid a lot of troubles.
"Haha, Li Yunlong can do it! It seems that in less than half a year, I will have a powerful team in my hands!"
After reporting to the headquarters, the brigade commander got a unit number, "Seventh Regiment of the Independent Third Column!"
After receiving Li Yunlong's personnel appointment list, the brigade commander directly agreed to the list without asking too much.
Soon, the brigade commander sent the number and appointment to Li Yunlong via telegram.
In the past few days, Li Yunlong, apart from thinking about the next action plan, just went to the communications class to hang out and ask the brigade commander if he had replied to the letter?
Li Yunlong, who visited three times a day, finally received a reply from the brigade commander today. He was holding the appointment letter translated by the correspondent in his hand. Li Yunlong was very happy.
"Hahaha, the Seventh Regiment of the Independent Third Column, good, good, our old Li is the leader again!"
Li Yunlong immediately decided to announce the good news, "Monk, monk! Go to the quilt factory and call the political commissar to the battalion headquarters!"
"Then notify each battalion and company to gather at the training ground in an hour!"
Soon after, the team had been reorganized. Except for the fourth company that was still stationed at the mountain pass, the rest of the teams lined up on the training ground. Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang looked at the majestic troops in front of them with joy.
This was the first time that Zhao Gang faced all the soldiers. Li Yunlong raised his voice and shouted, "Brothers, this is our political commissar Zhao. Let us welcome him with applause. Please give us a few words first, political commissar!"
Zhao Gang stepped forward and saluted everyone, "Hello, comrades, my name is Zhao Gang, and I currently serve as political commissar. Our team..."
"We are a whole, sharing weal and woe. Victory will eventually belong to us. Let us liberate the whole of China together!"
"Okay! What the political commissar said is good!" Li Yunlong took the lead in applauding, and all the soldiers applauded enthusiastically. Everyone had a clear idea about Zhao Gang's speech.
Zhao Gang took a step back and let Li Yunlong come up, "Captain Li, please!"
Li Yunlong walked up with his hands behind his back and a big grin, "Hahaha, today is a good day. I'm calling everyone to gather. I have no other intention. I just want to tell everyone the good news. We have a number!"
"The Seventh Regiment of the Independent Third Column!"
"This is our number, we are all competing for my face!"
"In the future, I want the little devils to know that we are not easy to mess with when they hear the name of the Seventh Regiment! Do you have the confidence?!"
The soldiers were full of energy, "Have confidence!!!"
