Last time Li Yunlong handed over a mountain artillery battalion to the brigade headquarters.
Both the brigade commander and Li Yunlong were robbed by the division commander and took away half of the mountain artillery camp.
But later, for some reason, Li Yunlong got a few more mountain cannons, and he just put together a mountain cannon camp.
But at that time, it was not easy for the brigade commander to reach out and rob Li Yunlong.
Li Yunlong's smile faded and he said, "Brigadier Commander, I only have one mountain artillery battalion."
"They only assisted a mountain artillery regiment and three basic shells. I sent them all to you."
"Brigadier, how good is our Lao Li to you?"
"Brigadier, if you cause trouble with the mountain artillery regiment, you have to lend me two uses. Haha, the mountain artillery regiment is full of firepower, enough for the little devil to drink a big pot."
Hearing this, the brigade commander adjusted his glasses and said with a half-smile: "No, Li Yunlong, why did I just hear someone say that if I don't accept this gift, someone will take these cannons back to create a mountain artillery brigade? "
"Did I say this?"
Li Yunlong was stunned for a moment, recalling that he seemed to have said this.
His expression changed rapidly in half a second, and he changed to a smiling face and said with a smile: "Brigadier Commander, I was joking just now. In fact, I still have a mountain artillery regiment there."
After being beaten by Qiufeng so many times, Li Yunlong also learned a pattern.
As long as he takes the initiative to hand over half of the aid equipment, the brigade commander will be embarrassed to rob him again.
If the brigade commander personally called him to congratulate him on his fortune, then the brigade commander would most likely want to take away more than half or three-quarters of the weapons and ammunition.
Instead of the brigade commander coming to congratulate himself on his wealth, it is better to preemptively congratulate the brigade commander on his wealth, so that at least a quarter of the weapons and ammunition can be saved.
In this way, the brigade commander will not only feel embarrassed to rob him again, but will also feel that he has a high ideological consciousness and can kill two birds with one stone.
"Is there another mountain artillery regiment?"
"Did you really create a mountain artillery brigade?"
The brigade commander's eyes were full of surprise.
Even Chief of Staff Zhou and Deputy Brigadier Han looked surprised and excited.
Several chiefs know what a mountain artillery brigade means to the Eighth Route Army. It is self-evident.
Li Yunlong said: "Where is the mountain artillery brigade? Isn't this a mountain artillery regiment handed over to the brigade headquarters? There is only one mountain artillery regiment left."
"Our new regiment will create a mountain artillery brigade. With your reputation, brigade commander, why don't you create a mountain artillery division?"
"Besides, the new regiment only has over 2,000 people in total, and they can't afford to serve a mountain artillery brigade."
The brigade commander smiled and said, "You are somewhat self-aware."
Originally, the brigade commander had 6 mountain cannons, but one was blown up in the Battle of Shotai, and the other was damaged and taken to the Huangyadong Arsenal for repair, leaving only 4 guns.
Now adding the 36 that Li Yunlong brought, there are a total of 40 mountain cannons.
With so many artillery pieces, both of them would definitely be beaten by their division commanders. In that case, why not follow Li Yunlong's lead and take the initiative to hand it over?
Thinking of this, the brigade commander said: "Hurry up and send someone back to give orders to separate half of the remaining mountain artillery and shells in your regiment and transport them to the brigade headquarters. Send them to the division headquarters with me."
"What are you doing, brigade commander? You are afraid of being robbed by the division commander, so take your own cannon and send it to the brigade headquarters. Why are you taking my cannon?"
After a pause, Li Yunlong emphasized again: "No, no, absolutely not."
"Do you think I won't hand over the mountain cannon to the division headquarters?" said the brigade commander. "The brigade headquarters now has 40 mountain cannons. I will also hand over 20 mountain cannons to the division headquarters. In this way, the brigade headquarters can keep 20 mountain cannons. You can probably There are 20 mountain cannons, so the 386th Brigade still has 40 mountain cannons, which is still a mountain artillery regiment. Do you understand now?"
Li Yunlong thought about it carefully. The last time the division commander called him, it was a mountain artillery battalion. He was so miserable that the division commander only had to leave five gates.
If you take the initiative to hand it over, you can keep half of it. Now the new regiment still has 39 mountain cannons. If you hand over half of the 19 mountain cannons, you will still have 20 mountain cannons.
Serving 20 mountain artillery pieces is already the limit for the current New Regiment. If there are any more artillery, there will not be enough artillery, and the logistics and transportation capabilities cannot keep up.
Originally, Li Yunlong was afraid that all the mountain artillery pieces would be robbed, so just like the last time he attacked the Japanese tank regiment, he kept some of them.
This time he killed a Japanese tank squadron and more than a dozen tanks in Yangquan, but he hadn't told Chen Feng yet.
According to the calculation of obtaining 24 mountain guns by killing a tank regiment, killing a tank squadron should also obtain the assistance of at least 6 mountain guns.
Therefore, even if he was robbed by the brigade commander and division commander and only had 1 mountain cannon battalion with 12 mountain cannons left, he could still replenish the number of 20 mountain cannons for the new regiment within a day or two.
Now that the brigade commander has taken action, if the division commander stops robbing after half of the mountain cannons are handed over to the division headquarters, then 6 more mountain cannons can be saved.
At that time, Ding Wei and Kong Jie can be given 3 mountain cannons each, so that they can form a mountain cannon battery.
"As expected of my brigade commander." Li Yunlong smiled and said, "Yes, I listen to you, brigade commander."
At this time, Li Yunlong's team transporting artillery shells arrived, and a long queue of more than one kilometer formed to enter the brigade headquarters. Li Yunlong had an expression on his face that he wanted to be beaten again:
"3 base numbers, a total of 10,800 artillery shells, plus 100 camouflage nets, and a precision artillery bombardment map."
"Use precision artillery bombardment. As long as it's within the range of the mountain cannon, hit wherever you can."
"Did you use this precise method when you bombarded Taiyuan Airport last time?" The brigade commander looked slightly happy, and the secret passage was quite complete.
"Yes." Li Yunlong said, "But brigade commander, you either have to prepare two radios, or you can only hold a telephone line, because it requires the observer to get close to the target to calculate the shooting parameters, and the observer informs the rear artillery, and the artillery then To adjust the muzzle to the target, the observer also has to adjust the shooting parameters based on the impact point."
"Good boy." The brigade commander patted Li Yunlong on the shoulder and said with a smile, "I didn't expect you to know so much about mountain artillery. If I create an artillery regiment, you might as well become the commander of the artillery regiment."
Li Yunlong was startled. He waved his hands repeatedly and said, "Brigade commander, our old Li is just an infantryman. He only knows a little bit about it, but he can't do artillery work."
"I'm kidding you." The brigade commander laughed, "Look, I scared you kid."
Deputy Brigadier Han and Chief of Staff Zhou were both directing the artillery shells to be loaded into the warehouse, while only the brigade commander and Li Yunlong were standing here chatting.
After a pause, the brigade commander asked again: "The 60 or so mountain cannons that your kid has made this time are not the only ones. Tell me honestly, how many other benefits are there?"
Li Yunlong said: "Not much, the main mountain cannon is the big head, and the others are just small fortunes."
At that moment, Li Yunlong reported 40 bazookas, 30 machine guns, 30 mortars and 45 Maxim heavy machine guns to the brigade commander.
He also shared his ideas with the brigade commander about the replacement of semi-automatic rifles, reimbursement of ammunition, the original intention of establishing the county brigade and the equipment that could not be exchanged.
Because before the Battle of Shotai began, Li Yunlong had just handed over 30 bazookas and 10 machine guns to the brigade headquarters.
This time the brigade commander only wanted 13 bazookas, 10 machine guns, 10 mortars and 15 Maxims, one-third of his heavy firepower equipment.
Li Yunlong yelled a few words as usual, and finally handed it over obediently. He only made a request to the brigade commander, hoping that the 60 rocket launcher soldiers handed over with Bazooka before the war would be returned to him as soon as possible. The brigade commander naturally agreed.
As a result, Li Yunlong was unable to equip the Maxim heavy machine gun to the squad level.
Because he also has to equip the county brigade with a heavy machine gun company. A heavy machine gun company is equipped with at least 8 heavy machine guns.
Therefore, Li Yunlong planned to equip all the remaining Maxim heavy machine guns to the heavy machine gun company directly under the regiment to form a heavy machine gun battalion.
Next, after all the artillery shells were unloaded, Li Yunlong ordered the transportation team composed of the artillery battalion and the logistics department to return to Yangcun to transport 19 mountain guns and artillery shells.
And brought over one-third of the heavy firepower equipment handed over to the brigade headquarters.
About two hours later, Li Yunlong's transport team came to the brigade headquarters with mountain artillery and artillery shells.
After handing over heavy firepower equipment such as bazookas and machine guns to the brigade headquarters.
The brigade commander had already fired 20 mountain cannons and half of the shells.
Li Yunlong and his transport team followed the brigade commander and his transport team to the division headquarters to hand over the mountain artillery and shells.
The brigade headquarters is not far from the division headquarters. It can be reached by riding a fast horse in half an hour, but the transport team took a full two hours to get there.
Seeing Chen Geng and Li Yunlong transporting 39 mountain cannons and more than 10,000 rounds, the division commander couldn't help but smile.
He immediately used his allowance to buy bacon and shochu from a fellow villager's house, and warmly entertained Li Yunlong and the two.
Just after seeing off the brigade commander and Li Yunlong, the boss and chief of staff who inspected the arsenal came back and saw all the mountain artillery and the mountains of shell boxes.
After asking, the boss and chief of staff found out that it was sent by Li Yunlong and Brigadier Chen.
When the boss and the chief of staff found Mr. Liu in the war room, the boss said, "Sir, I congratulate you on getting rich."
"Boss and Chief of Staff, you are really rich now." The division commander smiled, "Li Yunlong and Chen Genggang sent 39 mountain cannons and 11,700 rounds of artillery shells."
"I already know." The boss nodded and said with a smile, "These mountain artillery pieces will be handed over to the headquarters. I want to create an artillery brigade."
"ah?"
The teacher was dumbfounded. The boss didn't rob him last time. He thought he wouldn't rob him this time. Unexpectedly, he was still robbed by the boss.
The division commander said: "Boss, what did you say last time? Didn't you say that there was an artillery regiment at the headquarters and you wouldn't rob me?"
The boss said: "Last time, I wanted to keep the mountain artillery battalion for you to form an artillery regiment, but now you already have an artillery regiment."
"But I want to create an artillery brigade."
"See what you can do!" the boss said, "If you have an artillery brigade for one division, should I, as a group army, form an artillery division?"
"There's no need to discuss this matter. It's settled. Our Eighth Route Army should also have an artillery brigade."
The chief of staff smiled and said: "I don't think it's better than this. A standard mountain artillery regiment has 36 mountain cannons. Now that there are 39 mountain cannons, let the division commander keep 3 mountain cannons and the headquarters get 36 mountain cannons. Anyway, the headquarters and division headquarters stay here Together, division commander, if you want to use the artillery brigade, you can use it anytime."
The division commander's face fell, and he could only nod his head: "The official level is overwhelming, okay, I accept it, then I will hand over the 36 mountain cannons to the headquarters."
The division commander, who had just received 39 mountain cannons and was quietly gathering in joy, instantly felt the feeling of being beaten in the autumn wind.
