"Hahaha, now, monk, you don't have to compete with me for meat!"
Li Yunlong and Xu Gaoxiang looked at Wei Dayong who was scratching his head with a smile.
Li Yunlong happily pulled Xu Gaoxiang, "Brother, I have to have a good bowl of wine with us today. We won't stop until we get drunk!"
"Old Zhao, come too, otherwise you won't give me the face of Old Li and Brother Xu!"
Xu Gaoxiang also advised, "Political Commissar Zhao, such a moment worthy of celebration is the time to raise a glass, so don't refuse anymore!"
Zhao Gang no longer insisted and happily agreed, "Since you are so kindly inviting me, I will risk my life to accompany you and have a good drink with you two today!"
Li Yunlong immediately gave orders, "Monk, Huzi, why are you still standing there?"
"Why don't you hurry up and get people to move the pork and mutton to the cooking class? Do you still want to eat meat?"
"Tell the cooking team, no matter whether it's stewed or roasted, to show off their special skills to the whole group!"
The monk and Huzi nodded happily and were about to run away when Zhao Gang suddenly gave instructions.
"By the way, don't forget to send some meat to the recruits in Gangzi Village. They are already part of our seventh regiment, so don't favor one over the other!"
Huzi nodded, "Don't worry, political commissar, I will send meat to them later!"
After Huzi and Wei Dayong left, Zhao Gang told Li Yunlong and Xu Gaoxiang some of the arrangements he had made for those who came to join the army out of admiration.
Li Yunlong nodded with satisfaction, "Old Zhao is still thoughtful. Don't tell me, I really didn't notice this problem before. Sure enough, people who have read books are different, hahaha."
"From now on, when we recruit troops again, we will follow your plan, Old Zhao!"
Since it's a team matter, Xu Gaoxiang doesn't want to interrupt, he just needs to listen.
Since this issue was brought up, Li Yunlong also expressed some of his thoughts.
"It just so happens that I am thinking about holding a large-scale military training to train these new recruits as soon as possible to form combat effectiveness!"
"According to my judgment, our Eighth Route Army may make some big moves recently. The headquarters will definitely respond to the cage tactics implemented by the little devils."
"Especially after our 7th Regiment and 769th Regiment successfully attacked the Little Japanese gun tower stronghold, the headquarters may be formulating the next plan now!"
Zhao Gang nodded, "Yes, I agree with you, Lao Li, we need to prepare for a war as soon as possible!"
After all, you can guess one thing or two from the large amount of assistance given by the brigade commander and division commander, as well as the requirement to fully produce ammunition and grenades.
Li Yunlong looked at Xu Gaoxiang beside him, "Brother Xu, I will bother you again later. When Lao Zhao and I adjust the team's structure, I will send you a list of the required weapons and ammunition!"
Xu Gaoxiang patted his chest and made a promise, "Don't worry, Lao Li, I will deliver it to you on time!"
Then, Xu Gaoxiang smiled again, "Hey, I still have two good news to tell you, Lao Li, and Political Commissar Zhao."
Li Yunlong immediately asked in surprise, "Brother, is there any news about the cannon I wanted before?!"
Zhao Gang thought of the products from the quilt factory that he had handed over to Xu Gaoxiang for sale some time ago.
Xu Gaoxiang nodded and looked at Zhao Gang first, "Political Commissar Zhao, the products from the quilt factory that I purchased before have basically been sold out. The response to these products in the market has been very good!"
"I suggest you give your quilt factory products a brand name, so that you can gain better visibility!"
Li Yunlong waved his hand, "This kind of thing is left to intellectuals like Lao Zhao. Lao Li, I can't recognize a bunch of Chinese characters, and we can't think of any decent names!"
Then, Li Yunlong looked at Xu Gaoxiang eagerly, "Okay, brother Xu, stop trying to impress your brother and tell us about our cannon!"
Although Xu Gaoxiang can replace those cannons at any time and anywhere, unlike other previous weapons, cannons with a caliber of more than 100 are very heavy and very conspicuous.
If Xu Gaoxiang had gotten it for him in the blink of an eye, Li Yunlong's impression of Xu Gaoxiang might not have been that of a rich kid with a rich family fortune.
It should be a magical method with hands and eyes reaching the sky, and gods descending to the earth!
Therefore, before this, Xu Gaoxiang told Li Yunlong that large-caliber artillery would take more time to obtain, and asked him to wait for his news with peace of mind.
Xu Gaoxiang laughed and said, "Hahaha, I know you are in a hurry, but Lao Li, don't be in a hurry!"
Xu Gaoxiang happily recalled the past Internet buzzwords, which made Li Yunlong suddenly choked up. This brother Xu, let's put it here and there with him!
After a while, Xu Gaoxiang told Li Yunlong the good news, "Old Li, you know what I am capable of. I told you before that I can even get you train guns!"
"There are still a few days before the items will be delivered. Lao Li, just wait with peace of mind!"
Li Yunlong could not be happy when he heard that the cannon would be delivered in a few days. Now their group is really the only one in the group!
"Hahahahaha, I'm going to have an artillery camp!"
Not to mention their brigade commander, even the boss and the others would probably be tempted to come and fight against Li Yunlong if they knew about it.
Good guy, their entire 129th Division together only has a few more mountain artillery pieces than Li Yunlong. Now Li Yunlong actually wants to build an artillery battalion? !
Only Chu Yunfei, who had received much attention from Yan Laoxi and Chairman Chiang Kai-shek, was able to deploy artillery battalions with regimental subordinates.
Li Yunlong is now a step further than him. Chu Yunfei's artillery battalion of the 358th Regiment is a mountain artillery battalion, and Li Yunlong will soon have large-caliber howitzers here.
Zhao Gang was also very surprised, and of course he was extremely happy that their seventh regiment could have large-caliber artillery.
But... Zhao Gang raised his own question, "Lao Li, does anyone in our group know how to use a howitzer?"
Unlike mortars and mountain cannons, large-caliber howitzers require a higher technical content and cannot be operated by ordinary people.
Li Yunlong was not worried at all and smiled, "Old Zhao, don't worry, our regiment has Wang Chengzhu, and when Zhu Zhu was in the Northeast Army, he fired howitzers!"
"Otherwise, how could I recruit those gunners from the New Regiment? They are all Wang Chengzhu's apprentices."
"In the past, when there were no cannons, Zhuzi would teach them this theoretical knowledge whenever he had time. It's the same now, and this teaching is always going on in the artillery company's free time!"
"As long as they have a cannon in hand and let them practice with live ammunition a few times, they will definitely be able to get started quickly!"
Zhao Gang nodded, but although the gunner was fine, he still had another worry.
"Old Li, our team usually marches in mountainous areas. Heavy artillery will make movement inconvenient, but it will hinder the team's ability to move quickly!"
Li Yunlong has a deeper understanding of this problem than Zhao Gang. During the Long March, the team abandoned a lot of heavy equipment in order to escape the encirclement.
As a result, although the speed of the team was increased, it still suffered from the lack of heavy weapons. Many old brothers of the Red Army fell under enemy fire.
