Li Yunlong glanced at Zhao Gang, quickly gave Ding Wei a hand, and winked, "Hey, there's no need for this, Old Ding. Who among us is following the other?"
Li Yunlong never mentioned to Zhao Gang the deal between him and Ding Wei. He only told Zhao Gang that it was to repay the favor of Ding Wei's cavalry battalion and support the new regiment's two mountain cannons.
Ding Wei understood immediately and did not mention the deal between him and Li Yunlong.
Zhao Gang glanced at the two of them and felt that there was something hidden from him in their laughter. Remembering that Li Yunlong had exchanged weapons with Ding Wei, Zhao Gang had some guesses.
I guess those two mountain cannons weren't just returning a favor, right? !
This guy Lao Li needs to be questioned carefully after he returns.
Ding Wei cooperated with Li Yunlong in changing the topic and looked at the ammunition supplies that were being transported by the truck next to him, "Old Li, are these all produced by your ordnance?!"
"The quantity is really large!" Ding Wei was a little jealous. With so much ammunition, I think they could all get a lot.
Li Yunlong was happy, knowing that Ding Wei was jealous. Although these ammunition were given to the division headquarters and he had no right to distribute them, it did not prevent him from showing off.
"Old Ding, guess how much ammunition this has?"
Ding Wei made an estimate and said, "I guess there are at least 200,000 bullets and 4,000 grenades?!"
Li Yunlong clasped his hands behind his back, "Haha, Old Ding, you are too conservative, I will scare you if I say it!"
Zhao Gang did not have the free time of Li Yunlong to guess here with Ding Wei, "Captain Ding, we have transported a total of 500,000 rounds of rifles and machine gun bullets, 10,000 grenades, and various weapons to the division headquarters this time. There are a total of three thousand mortar shells of various calibers, and a total of one thousand custom-made shells for infantry guns and 75mm mountain guns!"
Ding Wei was shocked when he heard the specific number revealed by Zhao Gang, "Okay, Lao Li, it's only been a few months? Can your ordnance factory already have such a large output?!"
Li Yunlong waved his hand, "Hey, this is all thanks to our political commissar Zhao. Our ordnance can develop so fast, and Lao Zhao is indispensable!"
"This time Lao Zhao comes back to the division headquarters with us to make a detailed report to the division commander and to arrange future production matters."
"Old Ding, I'll teach you a lesson, hurry up and please our Lao Zhao. From now on, it may be up to us, Lao Zhao, to decide whether you can be popular and drink spicy food!"
Zhao Gang quickly stopped, "Captain Ding, don't listen to Lao Li's nonsense. I don't have such great power!"
Ding Wei really thought about it, "Don't say it yet, Political Commissar Zhao, I think you'd better be mentally prepared."
"Since your regiment's ordnance has developed so well, maybe the supply of ammunition and weapons for our division will fall on you in the future."
"Those capable people in our division are still not allowed to cross the threshold of political commissar Zhao."
Afterwards, Ding Wei glanced at Li Yunlong funny, "Of course, you don't have to worry too much. With Li Yunlong here, they may not be able to take advantage!"
Li Yunlong was unhappy, "Hey, Ding Wei, are you praising me?! Or are you hurting me?!"
Zhao Gang stopped talking, "Old Li, Commander Ding, let's hurry up and hurry up. It will be bad if we are late!"
The three of them got on their horses, caught up with the team in front, and started to continue on their way.
During this period, while Zhao Gang went to the back to inspect the team, Li Yunlong found an opportunity to whisper to Ding Wei.
"Old Ding, how are you? Is the mountain cannon useful?!"
Ding Wei nodded, "It's really useful. With these two mountain cannons, it's really easy to hit the turrets of the little devil's stronghold!"
"To tell you the truth, just these two cannons have made other regiments in our brigade jealous!"
Li Yunlong smiled and said, "As long as it works, it's ready-made propaganda. Li Yunlong believes that someone must be unable to help but ask Ding Wei where he got the cannon."
Ding Wei looked back and found no sign of Zhao Gang, "I said, Lao Li, why didn't you tell political commissar Zhao? This is not good."
Li Yunlong waved his hand, "Lao Zhao, everything else is good, but sometimes he is too principled. However, I will find an opportunity to make it clear to Lao Zhao in the future."
Since Li Yunlong had his own plan, Ding Wei didn't have to worry about it. "By the way, Lao Li, you can get me some mortars and more shells some other time."
"Next, there will definitely be a lot of combat missions. I have to make more preparations to prevent us from having poor transportation and being unable to conduct transactions."
Li Yunlong raised his chin and said confidently, "No problem, how about four 81mm mortars? I'll give you another 600 rounds of shells!"
Ding Wei was very happy. He originally thought that it would be good if Li Yunlong bought him two mortars. Unexpectedly, he underestimated the source of the arms in Li Yunlong's hands.
"That couldn't be better!"
"But, Lao Li, what kind of god did you worship?! This is both a mountain cannon and a mortar. Just say it!"
Li Yunlong was delighted, "What a god? That's one of my brothers, Li Yunlong. He happened to be doing some arms business, so he supported me, Old Li!"
Ding Wei nodded, "Then I'll have to meet your brother if I have a chance. I don't have any other intention, I just want to get to know him better!"
Li Yunlong was not worried, "Hahaha, there will be a chance!"
After most of a day, the group finally entered Liao County and entered the hinterland of Taihang Mountain.
On the way, they also met an independent group that was about to change defense. Li Yunlong and Ding Wei were very happy to see Kong Jie.
"Lao Kong, we three brothers haven't been together for a long time."
Kong Jie was also very happy to see his old comrades, "Who said otherwise? If our regiment hadn't been transferred to the headquarters now and had to be responsible for the security of the headquarters, I, Lao Kong, would have dragged you two to have a good meal no matter what. !”
Ding Wei took over the conversation, "Don't worry, we three brothers will always have a chance to meet again."
Li Yunlong chuckled, "I said, Kong Erlengzi, if you are transferred to the headquarters at this time, you will not be able to catch up with the next big move."
Kong Jie shook his head and looked at Li Yunlong, "No way, who told us to be close to the headquarters?!"
"I, Lao Kong, don't have as much dignity as you, Li Yunlong, so I can do whatever I want."
While Li Yunlong looked at Ding Wei, he pointed at Kong Jie, "Hahaha, Old Ding, look, Old Kong is sore!"
The three chatted happily, but unfortunately time waits for no one. The independent group over there was already ready to set off, and Zhao Gang also came to remind Li Yunlong and Ding Wei that it was time for them to continue setting off.
After saying a simple farewell, Kong Jie led the independent regiment to change defenses near the headquarters. Li Yunlong and his party also walked to the other end of the road.
In fact, the division headquarters of the 129th Division is not very far from the headquarters.
Shortly after separating from Kong Jie's independent regiment, Li Yunlong and his party quickly arrived at the division headquarters.
At this time, in the division headquarters, the division commander and two brigade commanders were already here. They were discussing the specific framework of the next operation and the arrangements for each unit.
"This time our 129th Division's operation is roughly divided into three stages. The first stage is to conduct a large-scale attack on the western section of the Zhengtai-Taiwan Railway and cut off this transportation artery between Jin and Hebei Provinces!"
