September 2, 1940, Qijiang County, Xiaoxiaochang
The public trial of the bandits is still in progress. In addition to the temporary representatives of the 68th Division, the county government, and the county party department, the trial panel also includes a jury composed of local gentry. You will definitely not be able to fault the organization. The trouble is, in addition, reporters are allowed to take photos and conduct interviews on the side. In Li Yunlong's words: everything the temporary 68th Division does can be put under the sun without any disguise.
"Old Li, you have nothing to do and you just watch the trial of bandits every day?" Seeing another bandit being escorted to the execution ground aside, Wang Yue's mouth twitched unconsciously, Damn, use new soldiers for execution, what a lot of bamboo shoots, Ten people might not be able to kill even one of them with a single salvo. It is said that the worst guy took more than a hundred shots. You, Lao Li, are showing weakness to the enemy in disguise.
"No, I will show up every once in a while. Otherwise, how would so many people who want to assassinate Lao Li have the chance." Li Yunlong rubbed his hands and said with a smile. At the beginning, the 68th Suppression Division was temporarily assigned The bandits really want to eliminate harm for the people. This cannot be true. But as the operation progresses, Li Yunlong discovers that suppressing bandits in the rear area is really different from suppressing bandits in Shanxi Province. These bandits at the junction of Sichuan and Guizhou , which one has not been accumulated for decades, and those bullies have families with hundreds of years. The richness of their family assets is definitely not comparable to that of the poor bandits in Jin Province. In just a short time, he has already accumulated There are millions of goods in the ocean, not counting the houses, shops, private mines, land and the like.
"Old Li, I'm talking about you, alas!" Wang Yue sighed. He can now scan and monitor the entire Qijiang County. Although no one wants to kill Old Li at the moment, there are armed forces hidden in the corner. There are really a lot of people, more than before the great bandit suppression. If Li Yunlong keeps playing like this, he is really worried that one day he will suddenly be unable to time travel.
"It's okay. Lao Cheng has deployed twenty groups of snipers, ten machine gun groups, and four artillery groups on the commanding heights around here. As long as armored vehicles are not used, nothing will happen. Besides, Lao Li And this." As he spoke, Li Yunlong flicked his clothes gently, and there was a sound of tapping metal.
"Is this a body armor?" Wang Yue also touched it. Well, this guy actually has a four-millimeter curved armor steel plate on the front and back, and there is rubber underneath the steel plate. This kind of protection is enough as long as it doesn't hit the head. Everything is fine, but didn't modern body armor appear after the war broke out? It is said that the Bald Eagle participated in the war, and under the guidance of the Chief Medical Officer, Colonel Malcolm C. Grow, the Eighth Air Force of the Army took the lead in developing modern armor. Was this still several years away?
"It was sent by the Military Command Bureau and said it was armor. This is what the Chairman used. It weighs 17 or 18 pounds. It is very heavy. It is not the same as the ancient armor." Li Yunlong curled his lips. In the summer in Sichuan Province, Wearing this thing, there is absolutely no comfort at all. If Zhao Gang and a few old comrades had not insisted, he would never wear this thing.
"It turns out." Wang Yue also understood that he was narrow-minded in his feelings. Isn't a body armor a kind of armor? Since there were armors in ancient times, what's weird about wearing a few armor plates now?
"The bandit suppression can't be carried out for a few more days. The transportation in the upper reaches of the Qijiang River is inconvenient and the river is too shallow. If we continue to go deeper, the troops will suffer a certain amount of casualties. We are not on the battlefield, so we cannot let the soldiers sacrifice in vain. "Li Yunlong looked at the small school field and muttered to himself. He originally wanted to use bandit suppression to train his troops, but he never thought that the bandits here were too weak to fight. In just a short time, the bandits in Qijiang County were defeated. It's almost wiped out.
"Old Li, I have ordered a batch of shallow-water motor boats for you, which can be propelled at high speed in the upper reaches of the Qijiang River. By then, your tentacles can extend dozens of kilometers to Qian Province." Wang Yue knew why Li Yunlong was a little disappointed, but how could a bandit possibly It can be easily wiped out. In such a general environment, it is unrealistic to keep a corner of Qijiang County free of gangsters. Just say that the militants in the city who are staring at you will be enough to temporarily form the 68th Division for a long time.
"That's good, but it's just that it's still too far away from Wu Heqing. That guy has already mobilized five thousand people to overhaul the fortifications on the traffic thoroughfares, clamoring to build the 'Maginot Line' of Guizhou Province. Don't tell me. The bastard is quite talented. We, Old Li, didn’t even know what the ‘Maginot Line’ was at first.” Li Yunlong actually sent people to beat Wu Heqing, and Zhang Dabiao personally sneaked in with a cavalry company, and He brought two 120mm mortars, but failed to blast through the strong fortifications on the Wu Heqing side. In the end, he had no choice but to turn back. Li Yunlong was embarrassed to mention this to Wang Yue.
"Old Li, how is the pilot you applied for?" Wang Yue saw Li Yunlong's frustrated expression and guessed that Li Yunlong was not telling the truth. He thought that this guy would definitely not be able to enter Wu Heqing's territory, so he remembered It took a long time to build the field airport in Qijiang County, but he still couldn't get a single plane for Li Yunlong. The reason was very simple, that is, there were no pilots. The pilots of the Eighth Route Army were all in northern Shaanxi and Shanxi. The northwest training is intense.
"I came here two days ago. One instructor and twenty students are asking me for planes every day. They are so annoying!" Li Yunlong was so annoyed. In fact, not only the Air Force, but his superiors also got him a lot of Navy personnel. The trainees are training in full swing every day, but the fuel consumption is really scary. If the fuel hadn't been transported by Northern Shaanxi through the Sichuan-Shaanxi Highway, Li Yunlong would have almost cried.
"Student? That's okay. I'll get some planes for you in the next few days, and we'll also set up the air force. Otherwise, if the Japs really come to bomb Qijiang one day, it will be really difficult." Wang Yue nodded, and the Japs Air Force I was so hurt by myself last time that I haven't organized a large-scale bombing for a long time, but this situation will definitely not last for a long time. With Japan's current industrial capacity, the loss can be made up very quickly. I believe that if we don’t drive for a long time, the bombing will begin again.
"Brother Wang, it can't be the kind of planes in northwest Shanxi, right? I've heard that those planes suffered a lot from fighting the Japanese." Li Yunlong hesitated a little. Planes are good things, but they have no advantage against the Japanese. It is also very difficult. The quantity cannot be compared, and the quality cannot be compared. As for the pilot's skills, it is not good either. Even with the aircraft, the combat effectiveness of his temporary 68th Division will be very limited.
"No, the aircraft this time is definitely advanced!" Wang Yue actually felt a little guilty, because with his perfect strike in the Indian Ocean, the "Super Lager-3" had gained a reputation, and various orders came in one after another. The top-of-the-line fighter aircraft cost 18 million U.S. dollars, and Mikoyan and Tasha earned 15 million U.S. dollars in tears. In this way, Wang Yue’s original order was squeezed out. After all, the one sold to Wang Yue was actually It was too cheap, but Mikoyan, who felt guilty, also offered to provide him with an all-metal fighter jet for free, as long as he agreed to delay the delivery of subsequent orders. As for the aircraft, he hasn't seen it yet, he only knows that it is An all-metal fighter jet from the Second World War, which made Wang Yue feel like he had been taken advantage of.
But Wang Yue also knew what Tasha meant. This girl wanted to sell "Super Lager-3" all over the world to confuse the bald eagle. Just like this time, if Tasha hadn't been selling it to the public With this kind of aircraft, the bald eagle will definitely come to you immediately.
"Brother Wang, having an airplane is definitely the best. Commander Zhou of the Air Force has come here several times in the past few days, just to inquire about whether he can buy new fighter planes. In the last air battle, the Air Force even sent out training aircraft. Now the entire rear area, It is said that there is not even a fighter jet left." Li Yunlong suddenly thought of the Air Force. If he could help Brother Wang sell the aircraft, would he still be able to benefit from it?
"Old Li, we'll talk about this after I get the plane over." Wang Yue said unconfidently. In fact, it was the air force of the great northern country during World War II. Those planes were really too stretched, and they were even more stretched before 1940. If it's crossed, it's the Lager-3 fighter jet. Without Mikoyan's technical support, it would be a complete scam, and a huge one.
"Brother Wang, I heard that the DP28 light machine gun has a 100-round double-layer magazine?" Li Yunlong nodded and continued to ask. He really loves the DP28 light machine gun. It is light in weight, has a balanced rate of fire, and has high accuracy. , easy to use and maintain, durable in operation, and with good firepower sustainability, it could instantly kill all the machine guns he had come into contact with before.
Before, the Eighth Route Army loved the Czech DP28 light machine gun. There were many reasons, but the most important reason was that the ammunition supply could not keep up. One was a twenty-round magazine, the other was a forty-seven-round magazine, and the other was a bullet and Rifles are universal, and we don't have many rifles of the same caliber. In recent comparisons, the Czech type has won. But once the problem of bullet supply can be solved, the DP28 light machine gun will become the perfect team firepower. 33
"Um, is it too heavy? Are you sure you want to equip the light machine gun with that thing?" Wang Yue also knew that the DP28 has a double-layer bullet disc, but because it is too heavy, it is not popular with the grassroots troops, let alone The 100-round magazine is not popular, even the 60-round single-layer magazine is not popular, and as the firepower of the team, the 47-round magazine is enough.
"Recently, in the process of suppressing bandits, the Maxim heavy machine gun did not perform well. It was too heavy, which affected the mobility of the troops, and there was some redundancy in firepower. I plan to withdraw part of the Maxim heavy machine gun and use DP28 The light machine gun fills the vacancy." Li Yunlong explained, and he said it quite politely. In fact, according to the Chinese military system, carrying a heavy Maxim heavy machine gun into the forest is a disaster. In recent times, many soldiers are not Those who were injured on the battlefield were injured while carrying machine guns.
"Okay, I'll bring you some as soon as possible. This time, I also brought you 200 Fiat Lancia 626BL multi-purpose trucks to enhance the mobility of your troops. With this kind of vehicle, not only The power of your cannon can be solved. Even the T38 tanks can be maneuvered by cars, which will be much more convenient. As for fuel, I have also transported a lot of it, which is enough for you to use for a long time." Wang Yue continued.
"That's great! It's just that the roads in Sichuan Province are really bad." During this period, Li Yunlong had suffered enough from the lack of mobility. Whether it was a Gees 5 truck or a mules and horses, their towing capacity was limited. Unable to advance quickly with the troops, once on the battlefield, the use of heavy weapons will be greatly restricted.
"I will take away the deposit from the Ministry of Military and Political Affairs this time. You ask Lao Zhao to contact the other party and ask them to pick up the goods tomorrow. It is September, and the first batch of goods should be given to them." Wang Yue reminded that he was here I was wandering there in 2023 and spent all my money. I didn't want to know that Zhao Gang had helped me negotiate a huge deal with the Ministry of Military and Political Affairs, and the deposit alone was several tons of gold.
"So fast?" Li Yunlong regretted after asking. There was no time when it wasn't so fast, so you don't need to ask him.
"They are all in stock, and they are all on barges on the high seas. Just transport them here." Wang Yue rolled his eyes at him. He is an old man who can transport one million cubic meters at a time. If it were replaced with steel, that would be more than seven million tons. Today The steel output of the little devil is limited. As long as the money is in place, we can kill the little devil.
Some people died, but not completely...
