After some haggling and pushing to the limit, it was finally decided that Yang Yuanshan took away 1 French M1897 75mm cannon, 2 Type 94 37mm rapid-fire cannons, 4 Type 41 75mm mountain cannons, 20 Type 92 infantry guns, 2 Type 31 60mm mortar, a total of 29 guns.
Plus 20 Type 92 heavy machine guns.
50% of other messy loot will be taken away.
In this way, Li Yunlong can get 1 cannon, 3 rapid-fire guns, 2 Type 41 75mm mountain cannons, 1 Jin-made Type 13 75mm mountain cannon, 8 Type 97 90mm light mortars, 16 Type 99 Seven types of 81mm direct-firing infantry guns, 11 Type 92 infantry guns, and one Jin-made 82mm mortar, a total of 43 guns.
There are also 16 Type 92 heavy machine guns.
Li Yunlong was so happy that he narrowed his eyes when he thought that his independent regiment, including the original cannons, now had more than 60 cannons in total.
This damn thing is several times more numerous than the headquarters artillery regiment. It can make him extremely beautiful!
He, Li Yunlong, now dares to say that he is the commander of the first regiment in the entire army!
Which regiment dares to compare equipment and artillery fire with him?
Not to mention the regiments of our army, even if an infantry brigade of the little devils comes, they will feel inferior!
At this time Yang Yuanshan suggested again:
"Captain, our regiment now has too many people. They are all gathered near Lujia Village. It is very inconvenient and can easily attract the attention of the little devils and be besieged by the enemy. Shouldn't it be better for each battalion to be stationed separately and develop independently?"
When Li Yunlong heard this, he immediately saw through his little thoughts and glared:
"You kid, do you want to go out and eat alone?"
Zhao Gang also looked frightened and said:
"Captain Yang, although your battalion is strong, it is too risky to attack the county town this time.
If you don't fight quickly and the Japs' reinforcements surround you, your situation will be very dangerous.
When this big battle of our army is over, the little devils will definitely come to clean up. If they are scattered, it is easy to be defeated by the little devils individually. It is better to get them all together. "
"Political Commissar, how can we develop a base area with so many of us staying together?"
Yang Yuanshan was not convinced.
Of course he wanted to go out and eat alone. How free and happy that would be!
When you are with Li Yunlong, you have to ask for instructions when fighting a battle, and you still have to share the spoils after the battle. This is troublesome!
At this time, Zhang Dabiao also echoed:
"That's right, head of the regiment and political commissar, I think Yuanshan's idea is a good one. We should develop in a decentralized manner, otherwise we won't be able to catch the little devils at all!"
This guy is also very clever, and he can see through Yang Yuanshan's plan at a glance that it is also good for him.
Shen Quan and Wang Huaibao, who were slow to react, looked at each other and thought about it, and quickly started to cheer:
“We should develop in a decentralized manner, otherwise no little Japanese or two Japanese would dare to pass by our defense area!
Without enemies, how can our team eat meat? "
Seeing that several battalion commanders wanted to run out, Li Yunlong thought about it for three seconds and immediately made a decision:
"OK!
You bastards all want to eat meat, so I’ll let you go! But I only have one principle, you have to remember it! "
"What principle?"
Yang Yuanshan and four others said in unison.
“You can only take advantage and not suffer losses.
You can make trouble for the little devils and the second devils, but when the gunfire rings out, you have to bring me back some benefits, food and use, I won't object to anything.
If anyone suffers a loss, I will remove him from his position! "
Li Yunlong was murderous.
"Okay, no problem! Don't worry, Captain, the little devil wants to take advantage of us, so he's still young!"
Everyone cheered and patted their chests in assurance.
"Old Li, should we report to the brigade headquarters first before making any decisions?"
Zhao Gang stopped him quickly.
"What a nonsense report! The brigade commander is busy every day, how can he have time to deal with such a trivial matter like ours.
I have the final say on this matter!
But if any of you bastards dare to misbehave and fail to abide by our disciplines, I will shoot you, and no one will be able to plead for mercy. Do you understand? "
Li Yunlong agreed.
"clear!"
They are all cadres who have undergone ideological education over the years, and they still have this awareness.
Then Li Yunlong led everyone to the map and gestured:
"Yang Yuanshan, your spy battalion is the strongest, so go west and station in Qixia Town.
This place is close to Qubei County, Jinyang and Shouxian County. You must be careful, lest you be attacked by the little devils from both sides and swallowed up. "
"Captain, don't worry, the little devils want to devour my battalion, so they need a division to do so!
If you don't come enough, you can be the captain of the transportation team and send me equipment! "
Yang Yuanshan patted his chest and promised.
"Okay! I like soldiers like you!"
Li Yunlong patted Yang Yuanshan on the shoulder, very satisfied.
"Zhang Dabiao, your battalion will go to Qingshan Valley to monitor the little devils in Shuiquan for me. If the little devils in Shuiquan want to transport supplies to the source of the river, they will need my permission!"
"Yes! Don't worry, captain, our first battalion will keep the little devils in Heyuan County from having enough to eat and not having enough to wear!"
Zhang Dabiao was so excited when he heard that he could go to Qingshan Valley and guard the main road from Shuiquan to the source of the river.
This job is too fat!
When he thought about what the little devils would eat in the future, what his own battalion would be able to eat, Zhang Dabiao couldn't help but think to himself: The regiment commander is still kind to me!
"Second Battalion and Third Battalion, you move to the direction of Erdaoling and Sanxian Nao, develop the base area eastward, and strive to connect with the base area in northern Hebei. By the way, show me the eastern section of Zhengtai Road!"
"yes!"
Shen Quan and Wang Huaibao were very satisfied with the job of watching Zhengtai Road and quickly agreed in unison.
"In addition, our superiors have asked us to carry out the task of attacking the traffic arteries of the Japs. We have not canceled it yet. After you get there, you must continue the task and make some noise for me.
There is only one goal, make it difficult for the little devil to move forward!
Understand? "
"clear!"
Upon hearing that they were asked to continue to do things, several battalion commanders were gearing up and very excited.
"We have made such a big fuss in Lujia Village. We must not stay here for long. My regiment headquarters and artillery battalion will move to Liuling Pass later. By then, if there is an urgent mission, I will send someone to notify you."
Li Yunlong explained again.
"yes!"
"Old Zhao, we happened to seize two radio stations this time. Later, you can find two people to train as telegraph operators, and then assign one to each of the First Battalion and the Special Agent Battalion."
Li Yunlong thought that the locations of the First Battalion and the Special Agent Battalion were relatively far away from Liuling Pass. It would be very difficult to rely on correspondents on horseback to communicate in the future, so he immediately took the idea of the two newly captured telegraph machines.
"Okay. I'll do it as soon as possible."
Zhao Gang nodded.
Hearing this, Yang Yuanshan and Zhang Dabiao felt bitter in their hearts.
At this moment, they fully understood Li Yunlong's mood when the brigade commander sent two telegraph operators.
Bitter!
…
After making some arrangements, Li Yunlong saw that it was getting late outside, so he immediately asked everyone to disperse and prepare to leave tomorrow.
However, before everyone left the room, a voice came from outside:
"Report, brigade commander's telegram!"
Zhao Gang immediately walked out, took the telegram, took a look, and immediately said to everyone with a smile:
"Comrades, I have already sent a telegram to the brigade commander about our results last night this morning, and now the brigade commander is sending a telegram to praise our regiment.
I think our regiment took the initiative to attack and captured 12 gun towers and 3 large strongholds in one night, which was very outstanding and set an example for the entire brigade.
In particular, capturing Heyuan County and destroying Heyuan Railway Station were rare victories.
We will receive a formal commendation from the headquarters later. We will write a detailed report on the capture of Heyuan County and send it to him. It will be published in the monthly "Battle" in the future. "
"Hey, our independent regiment is the main force of our brigade."
Li Yunlong was immediately delighted when he heard the brigade commander's commendation.
He has made many meritorious deeds, but there are not many opportunities to avoid being criticized like this!
At this time, Zhao Gang continued to read the telegram, and his expression suddenly changed.
When Li Yunlong saw it, he couldn't help but trembled in his heart, and thought to himself: Damn it, don't you get too happy too early?
Have you been criticized again?
The punishment this time shouldn't be that he has to go to the quilt factory to embroider again, right?
I don’t want to go!
He quickly asked nervously:
"Old Zhao, what's wrong?"
Zhao Gang smiled bitterly and said:
"Old Li, the brigade commander asked you to send him 12 cannons!
He said that you have an artillery battalion for an independent regiment. As a brigade commander, he couldn't justify it without an artillery battalion! "
Li Yunlong breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that he was not being punished, but then he took a deep breath.
"Good fellow, the brigade commander is really talking like a lion!
Open your mouth and there are 12 cannons! "
Excluding last night's capture, the artillery battalion of the Independent Regiment only had 15 guns!
This telegram from the brigade commander can directly demote his artillery battalion to an artillery platoon!
It's simply too much!
Yang Yuanshan immediately joked after hearing this:
"Captain, aren't there only 12 cannons?
You have more than 60 cannons now!
So fat and oily!
Allocating 12 guns to the brigade commander is just a drop in the bucket! "
"Hahahaha, yes, I am a rich man now!"
Li Yunlong burst out laughing when he heard this.
Then he immediately changed his face:
"Even if I am a rich man, the brigade commander cannot just open his mouth and take away my cannon!"
When everyone heard this, they were all shocked.
What does this guy want to do?
What a rebellion?
Zhao Gang even screamed:
"What, Lao Li, are you disobeying military orders again?
Now that the brigade commander doesn't hold us accountable for attacking the county town privately, it's time for us to enjoy ourselves secretly, so don't take advantage of us and behave like a good boy. "
"Old Zhao, where are you thinking?
How could I, Li Yunlong, disobey military orders?
It’s not that the brigade commander wants our cannons, so we have to ask the brigade commander to lend his hand!
Moreover, it is not easy to transport such old artillery to the Taiyue Military Region, so the brigade commander must send someone to transport it!
You can't ask me to send someone to deliver the cannon, it doesn't make sense! "
As soon as he said these words, everyone present understood that this guy was trying to take advantage of the brigade commander's cadres, and they burst into laughter.
Yang Yuanshan thought to himself: Commander, commander, you really look like Li Yunlong!
Zhao Gang had nothing to say to this cunning guy.
After laughing, Li Yunlong said to Zhao Gang:
"Old Zhao, please help me send a report to the brigade commander, saying that we have just arrived in northwest Shanxi and are really unable to send any more soldiers to deliver artillery. I suggest that the brigade commander send two battalions to carry artillery and support me by the way. 50 company and platoon-level cadres!”
"Good guy, you are robbing the brigade commander!
50 company and platoon-level cadres, you really dare to reach out! "
Zhao Gang was amazed, thinking that this guy is too courageous!
Usually, a battalion only has 6 chief and deputy company commanders, and 18 chief and deputy platoon commanders!
Li Yunlong opened his mouth and wanted to ask the brigade commander for two battalions of cadres. He was really bold!
"Hey, Lao Zhao, why didn't you say that the brigade commander opened his mouth and wanted 12 cannons from me!
Go and send the report. Now it depends on whether the brigade commander wants cannons or men! "
Li Yunlong didn't feel embarrassed at all.
