In view of the scarcity of intellectuals in the team, Liu Bo could not just throw the three of them into the recruit company and crawl around with the infantry.
The political commissar has been very busy recently. Unfortunately, there were not many intellectuals in their seventh regiment before.
Most of them are in the ordnance depot and medical clinic. There have been a lot of vacancies for civilian staff in the regiment headquarters, and Zhao Gang wears many hats.
Therefore, Liu Bot handed the information about the three of them to Zhao Gang as an exception, and asked the political commissar to decide whether to directly recruit these three people into the team.
Zhao Gang quickly replied to Liu Bo, allowing the three of them to follow him first and do some statistical paperwork in the recruit company.
On the one hand, let them adapt to the life of the army, on the other hand, they can exercise their abilities and take the opportunity to observe them.
While Baiwanyu was recruiting troops, the 386th Brigade, which was far away near Qinxian County, under the orders of the brigade commander, the 771st Regiment, the 772nd Regiment and the new regiment had already arrived at their intended target locations.
The 771st and 772nd Regiments were responsible for raiding the mines, with the 771st Regiment serving as the main attack and the 772nd Regiment responsible for flank cover.
Ding Wei's new regiment was responsible for ambushing the little Japanese's transport team.
The battle started at the same time. The fighting on the mine side was quite fierce and the progress was relatively slow.
On Ding Wei's side, after having accurate time and route information, he also had just received sufficient ammunition from his employer in exchange for Li Yunlong.
The battle of the new regiment went extremely smoothly. Under the command of Ding Wei, the battle was resolved in less than an hour.
"Haha, this battle is fought comfortably. The first battalion commander quickly cleaned the battlefield and took away all these copper ores. These are all bullets for our future! Don't leave any of them for the little devil!"
Soon, the new group transported all the copper ore away. Even the truck that was damaged by the bombing was taken away piece by piece.
Looking at this full harvest, Ding Wei couldn't help but wonder if he could exchange a few more boxes of grenades from the logistics headquarters.
On the other side, the 771st and 772nd Regiments also completed their missions, knocking down the mine and cleaning up all the ore and equipment that could be taken away, all on horseback.
The brigade commander laughed happily after receiving the good news, "Haha, okay, notify all regiments to move immediately and gather at Xiaogushan!"
Soon, the 771st Regiment, the 772nd Regiment, and the New Regiment gathered at Xiaogushan with the capture.
The brigade commander picked up a piece of copper ore, knocked it carefully, and nodded with satisfaction.
The three regiment commanders followed behind the brigade commander, "Brigade commander, we have already counted, there are more than 120 tons of copper ore here, and more than eight tons of refined copper powder!"
The brigade commander couldn't help but laugh heartily, "Hahaha, we have gained a lot this time!"
If half of the copper produced from these copper ores could be used to make bullets, that would be five to six million bullets!
This is more than enough for their 129th Division to conduct a large-scale battle.
Before that, all the copper ore and copper powder would have to be turned over and handed over to the headquarters arsenal to produce bullets and artillery shells, which would then be distributed uniformly by the headquarters.
Five to six million bullets were shared among the entire Eighth Route Army. In the end, the 386th Brigade could only distribute one hundred and eighty thousand bullets, which was enough to take care of him.
It's different now, and the brigade commander can't help but be unhappy. With the support of the division commander, they have reached a consensus with the headquarters.
The headquarters is also very supportive of their ability to establish their own arsenal, allowing them to leave one-third of the capture of the 386th Brigade for the development and establishment of their arsenal.
The brigade commander immediately made arrangements, "Ding Wei, your new regiment will send a company to escort twenty tons of copper ore and these eight tons of copper powder to Baiwanyu!"
"Let them use full power and make more bullets and cannonballs!"
Ding Wei straightened up when he heard this, "Yes, I promise to complete the mission!"
As for the remaining copper ore and some equipment and instruments, the brigade commander arranged for the 771st Regiment to send people to send these things to the headquarters.
Then, the 386th Brigade moved to the mountains and escaped the search of the imps.
In the temporary station of the new regiment, Ding Wei has already arranged for people to send the copper ore and copper powder to Baiwanyu.
Ding Wei called to the company commander, "Captain Yang, your company has a very heavy task. Although the little Japs nearby have reduced their troops recently, we still cannot let down our guard!"
After saying this, Ding Wei gave another emphatically instruction, "Also, when you go, you have to be careful and don't let that boy Li Yunlong cheat our new group!"
It turned out that during this trip, Ding Wei also asked people to send a few command knives that he had recently seized, as well as some miscellaneous things obtained from the Japs and puppet soldiers, to Baiwanyu to make another deal with Li Yunlong. .
Ding Wei knows Li Yunlong very well. If there is an advantage he can take advantage of, he will never let it go. If he is not careful, he will be a meat bun and beat a dog, and there will be no return!
Company Commander Yang is also an old man in the new regiment. He is also familiar with the temperament of the original Commander Li. "Don't worry, Commander, I will pay close attention to it!"
Soon, Captain Yang led his company, escorted these things, and set off under the watchful eye of Ding Wei, leaving the new regiment.
At the same time, Li Yunlong and his team were approaching the edge of the Taiyue Mountains.
"Monk, let me know, the whole group will rest here for one night, and then set off early tomorrow morning, trying to get back to Baiwanyu within one day!"
In an open valley, the soldiers of the seventh regiment began to build a marching stove, surrounding the precious horses in the middle, and taking good care of them.
Li Yunlong took the monks on a tour. Now there are many new recruits in the team. Some problems may arise during long and long marches.
After everyone in the team had eaten, Li Yunlong took the monk to eat.
Before it got dark, Li Yunlong asked the monk to call Zhang Dabiao over.
"We can return to Baiwanyu the day after tomorrow at the latest. Dabiao, I have a task for you!"
Zhang Dabiao also vaguely guessed something, which should be to solve the team's food problem.
Although a lot of them have been captured recently, with those war horses, the consumption rate is rising rapidly. If you want to maintain the physique and stamina of the war horses, you must add refined grains. Coarse grains alone are not enough.
As expected, Li Yunlong took out the map and clicked on it, "Here, Huangyangji, is a material transfer station for the Japs. Food and other materials for several nearby strongholds are provided from here. There should be a lot of food in stock!"
"You can take some people with you tomorrow, go there for a walk, get some more food, and then just meet us directly at Baiwanyu!"
Zhang Dabiao carefully wrote down the route, "Captain, don't worry, I promise to complete the mission!"
When there was no such thing before, Li Yunlong was very coveted for the cavalry battalion.
But now, after having the horses of the cavalry battalion, Li Yunlong was both sad and happy. In addition to taking care of the new soldiers, he also had to worry about the horses.
"I don't know if Huzi has brought Sun Desheng back. The matter of the cavalry still depends on him!"
