The brigade commander on the other end of the phone was stunned.
Li Yunlong is congratulating me, Lao Chen, on getting rich?
In the past, it was the brigade commander who congratulated Li Yunlong on his fortune. Later, it was Li Yunlong who congratulated the brigade commander on his fortune.
And every time Li Yunlong gets rich, he really gets rich, because Li Yunlong will hand over a lot of weapons and ammunition.
Is Li Yunlong going to hand over weapons and ammunition again?
"Are you going to hand over weapons and ammunition again?" Thinking of this, the brigade commander quickly asked: "How many are there?"
"No more, no more." Li Yunlong laughed, "It's just the horses and equipment of a cavalry battalion."
"Our new cavalry regiment No. 600 is a cavalry battalion, but as you know, brigade commander, it is actually the size of a cavalry regiment."
"I just thought, our brigade commander didn't even start a cavalry regiment, so it's not appropriate for me to start a cavalry regiment."
"I got information a few days ago that the cavalry battalion of the 2nd Independent Division of the puppet army happened to be stationed at Lujiazhuang Station on the Zhengtai Railway."
"So, I sent the cavalry battalion to get the horses and equipment of the puppet cavalry battalion back."
"I'm going to hand these troops over to the brigade headquarters right away and create a cavalry regiment for you, brigade commander. What do you think?"
How is it?
The brigade commander would naturally not refuse. Who would refuse a cavalry regiment?
"You've done a great job, please send someone to deliver the horses and equipment to the brigade headquarters as soon as possible." It could be heard from the tone of the brigade commander's voice that he was very happy, and his voice rose.
Now the 129th Division, 386th Brigade, and the New Regiment were all equipped with a cavalry regiment, and their combat effectiveness was greatly enhanced.
However, the divisional cavalry regiment of the 129th Division is not in southeastern Shanxi, but is fighting guerrillas in southern Hebei.
"Yes!" Li Yunlong responded, hearing that the brigade commander was happy, he was also very happy.
The brigade commander was the person Li Yunlong respected the most in his life.
The brigade commander was afraid that Li Yunlong would hang up the phone, so he quickly asked: "By the way, Li Yunlong, let me ask you, do you still have more Yunlong knives in your cavalry battalion?"
When Li Yunlong's cavalry fought against the Japanese cavalry, the casualty ratio of 5:1 between the enemy and us attracted the brigade commander's attention.
The combat effectiveness of the Japanese cavalry is not weak, but the cavalry of the new regiment can completely defeat the Japanese cavalry.
Later, the brigade commander went to the New Regiment to learn about the situation and found out that the cavalry battalion of the New Regiment was equipped with a Yunlong knife named after Li Yunlong.
The Yunlong knife was sharp, slender and very light in the hand, which left a deep impression on the brigade commander.
This is definitely a great knife suitable for Chinese cavalry.
At that time, the new regiment did not have any spare brigade commander, so he did not ask. Now Li Yunlong has expanded a cavalry battalion. He heard from comrades in the division logistics department that Li Yunlong took the horse away and left the rifle and saber behind. The brigade commander I knew this kid could still get that kind of Yunlong knife.
"Brigadier, if you want the Yunlong Sword, please tell me earlier." Li Yunlong agreed, "Don't worry, it's the Yunlong Sword. I will definitely get it for you."
"Well..." the brigade commander said in a satisfied tone, "Your boy has been doing quite well recently. He has made a fortune, and you still care about me as the brigade commander."
"If there is anything you want, you can tell yourself."
Li Yunlong was startled. Is the brigade commander so direct?
Isn't it just the horse equipment of a cavalry battalion?
Just a small fortune.
Since you have said so, Brigadier, then we, Old Li, will not be polite.
"Then brigade commander, give me another 1,000 militiamen, so I can eat them."
"You're a bitch and you're pretty good at talking like a lion." The brigade commander laughed and scolded, "Isn't it enough that the head of the headquarters gave you 1,500 militiamen?"
"If there are another 1,000 people, then your new group will have more than 7,000 people, right? Do you want to live like a teacher?"
"Oh, brigade commander." Li Yunlong said softly, "I live the life of a division commander, brigade commander, don't you live the life of a military commander?"
"Based on the current strength of our 386 brigade, it is stronger than the national army alone."
Li Yunlong is really not bragging. Now the 386th Brigade has expanded to a new 5th regiment, plus the Artillery Regiment, the Independent Regiment, the 772nd Regiment, and the soon-to-be-formed Cavalry Regiment.
There are nine main regiments, as well as the guerrillas from the Taiyue Military Region and the militia from the county brigade.
There is also the ace regiment Xinyi Regiment, which can surpass other troops by at least five regiments in terms of military strength and firepower.
The current combat effectiveness of the 386th Brigade is second to none in the entire combat sequence of the Chinese army.
"I will give you at most 400 militiamen. Expanding the army too quickly is not a good thing, so please take it easy."
The brigade commander still loved Li Yunlong very much, and he gave the militiamen and kindly reminded him.
Expanding the army too quickly will inevitably lead to a decline in the overall combat effectiveness of the army, and there will also be dissatisfaction from some people in the army.
"Yes, I will expand my troops after I digest these 1,900 militiamen."
"Thank you, brigade commander, thank you brigade commander, thank you brigade commander."
Captain Li bowed in series to the phone.
It's great to have Militia No. 400 again.
The boss gave him an order to give him 1,500 militiamen. Adding these 400 people and 30 company and platoon-level officers, that is an expansion of more than 1,900 people.
The total strength exceeds 6,800 men, making it a trump card group that is more powerful than the reinforced group.
It would be difficult for other troops to expand so many troops at once, but for Li Yunlong, it was not a problem.
He established a county brigade, also known as a teaching team, with a complete training mechanism, tempered on the battlefield, and grown in actual combat.
Those who dared not go to the battlefield were given travel expenses to go home. Every time they won a battle, the recruits were asked to stab the corpses of Japanese soldiers with bayonets to practice their courage.
As long as you kill a Japanese soldier in battle and pass the training, you will be qualified to become a soldier in the main battalion of the new regiment.
"From now on, don't cause any more trouble for me."
The brigade commander's tone was stern with concern: "I've been doing very well in the past year. I've caused less trouble and made more meritorious deeds. This is the state, let me keep it up."
"Yes, Brigadier, I promise to keep up the good work, stay out of trouble and make meritorious deeds."
Li Yunlong quickly promised.
After hanging up the phone, Li Yunlong suddenly found Zhao Gang standing behind him.
Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang looked at each other, and both saw joy in each other's eyes. The new group was getting stronger visible to the naked eye, and the business in the future would also be bigger.
"The number of people will be expanded to 1,900 at once. Adding the 700 people from the original county brigade, the county brigade will have more than 2,600 people."
Zhao Gang said: "With more than 2,600 people, when placed in the main group, they are all standard large groups. Although Comrade Chen Dugu has good abilities, after all, with so many people, he has to take care of both the military and life. One person's After all, my energy is limited, so I think we can send an instructor to the county brigade."
Li Yunlong looked thoughtful and nodded: "Then we will transfer Comrade Liang Gang, the instructor of the 3rd Battalion, to serve as the instructor of the county brigade."
"They turned out to be partners, and they will definitely work together very well." Zhao Gang added, "Then who will be the instructor of the 3rd Battalion?"
"Wang Tieshan from the First Battalion and the First Company was Xu Yonghai's partner before." Li Yunlong said, "This guy performed well in the battle in Hanjia Village and made meritorious service, so let him go."
"Okay!" Zhao Gang nodded and said, "Then you decide on the candidate for the next company commander."
"I'll decide after asking Da Biao." Li Yunlong also nodded and said.
This ended the two-person Youth League Party Committee meeting.
In the military, Commander Li has his own set of management methods. As long as they do not violate principles, Zhao Gang will agree.
…
That night, the first battalion, led by Zhang Dabiao, set out under the cover of darkness.
Go to Qixian County to ambush the Japanese and puppet army's mopping up troops.
Know in advance the time when the Japanese and puppet troops will set out to sweep, the strength of the Japanese and puppet troops, and the location of the Japanese and puppet troops.
The First Battalion fought a beautiful ambush halfway through the Japanese and puppet troops' mopping up troops, wiping out more than 500 Japanese and puppet troops.
Made another small fortune.
…
Taiyuan, inside the headquarters of the First Army.
"General."
A staff officer is giving a daily report to Yoshio Shinozuka:
"Three supply military trains have set off from Peiping. However, the maintenance of the Zhengtai-Taiwan Railway has not yet been completed, and the smooth movement of the military trains cannot be guaranteed. These three supply military trains will stop in Baoding and SJZ. When the Zhengtai-Taiwan Railway is restored to smooth operation, the military trains will Heading to Taiyuan."
These three supply columns were the Japanese base camp and provided three-tenths of the battle supplies to the divisions of the First Army.
A division's battle supplies are 10,000 tons, while a fully loaded military column is 1,000 tons.
"The 13th Regiment of the 1st Cavalry Brigade of the Mongolian Army, with a total of 1,300 cavalry troops, has set off and is expected to arrive in Taiyuan in three days."
"The 14th Brigade, the 18th Brigade and the 4th and 5th Regiments of the 2nd Guards Division have all arrived in Shanxi."
"The Cavalry Battalion of the 2nd Cavalry Division of the Imperial Association Army was attacked by the Eighth Route Army at Lujiazhuang Station. The horses and their equipment were all robbed by the Eighth Route Army."
"This morning, more than 500 people from the Imai Squadron and an Imperial Association military camp stationed in Qi County were ambushed by the main force of the Eighth Route Army during a mopping-up mission, and the entire army was annihilated."
After hearing the first three good news, Yoshio Shinozuka was still nodding his head frequently with a happy expression.
But after listening to the last two reports, he frowned slightly.
Although the loss was not big and could not reach the level of his knife skills, the bad news was like two rat droppings spoiling a pot of soup, and his mood suddenly became unhappy.
Yoshio Shinozuka waved his hand, signaling the staff to stop reporting.
"Hi."
The staff officer put his legs together, put the folder on the desk, paused, turned around and walked out.
At that moment, Yoshio Shinozuka called Chief of Staff Kusuyama Hideyoshi to the headquarters.
"Your Excellency, Commander, are you looking for me?" Kusuyama Hideyoshi walked in, paused slightly and asked.
Yoshio Shinozuka is reading the investigation report handed over by Kazuki Yamamoto.
At a distance of more than 1,700 meters, the Eighth Route Army snipers not only shot Major General Hirata in half with one shot, but also punched a big hole in the body of Ikunuma Ozuo behind Hirata.
Killed 6 imperial soldiers with 3 shots...
Such a powerful sniper rifle and sniper made Yoshio Shinozuka couldn't help but tighten his anus.
A shot from 1,700 meters away cuts you in two, and I ask you if you are afraid?
Regardless of whether others are afraid or not, Yoshio Shinozuka is very afraid anyway, and it is impossible to guard against it.
Yamamoto Kazuki Ozuo called the Eighth Route Army snipers Death Snipers...
"Kusuyama-kun, are you here?"
Yoshio Shinozuka closed the folder, looked at Kusuyama Hideyoshi, then walked out from behind the desk and made a gesture of invitation.
Afterwards, the two walked to the tea table and sat down on their knees facing each other.
