"I remember that your new regiment captured a county town some time ago. The price from Boss Chen was three 150mm howitzers, three 75mm anti-aircraft guns and 300 tons of grain?"
Ding Wei did not answer, but asked first.
"In addition to these, there is also a deposit for 100 M3 submachine guns." Li Yunlong answered truthfully, "What, you two want to attack the county?"
The original price for capturing a county town was two 150mm howitzers, two 75mm anti-aircraft guns, and 200 tons of grain.
But now the price has gone up.
Of course, the deposit has not changed, it is still 300 submachine guns.
Ding Wei and Kong Jie couldn't help but feel slightly happy.
If you capture one county town, you can get so many weapons. If you capture three county towns, you have to multiply that by three.
"That's right!" Ding Wei nodded, "My political commissar sent a telegram. Although the Japanese have withdrawn from my territory, troops have been stationed in the three counties in our base area. It seems that they are preparing to stay for a long time."
】
"So after I return to the base area, I plan to capture all three counties and make a lot of business."
Although the New Second Regiment suffered more than half of its casualties in the counter-mopping operations.
But after the baptism of this battle, both Ding Wei and the soldiers of the New Second Regiment have gained confidence.
With the strength of one regiment, they fought against two second-line divisions of the Japanese army and thousands of puppet troops for more than half a month, wiping out more than 15,000 enemies. This achievement is extremely impressive when viewed on the entire Asian battlefield.
Of course, the same goes for independent groups.
After this battle, the original veterans of the New Second Regiment and the Independent Regiment will become the elite of the elite, and the combat effectiveness of the militiamen who participate in the battle will also be qualitatively improved.
There are also ways to solve the problem of food shortages in the New Second Regiment and the Independent Regiment.
Coupled with Boss Chen's reimbursement of weapons and ammunition, it won't take long for the New Second Regiment and the Independent Regiment to return to a strength of 10,000 people, with stronger combat effectiveness than before.
Of course, the Japanese losses were heavy, but the New Second Regiment and the Independent Regiment were forced to retreat after all.
Naturally, Ding Wei and Kong Jie wanted to find this place.
On the other hand, now that the New Second Regiment and the Independent Regiment are business partners of the New First Regiment, Ding Wei and Kong Jie will naturally not let go of this opportunity to earn 150mm heavy artillery.
After all, their troops still don't even have a 150mm howitzer.
Their artillery battalions suffered very little losses in the anti-mopping battle. Each artillery battalion had more than 30 75mm mountain guns and several 105mm howitzers.
The size of this artillery battalion is actually an artillery regiment, or according to the Japanese army's establishment, a mountain artillery regiment, which is more than enough to fight the Japanese in the county.
After this anti-mopping operation, the artillery quality of the New Second Regiment and the Independent Regiment has also been greatly improved.
Basically each gun fired more than 600 rounds.
Knowing that the Japanese had stationed troops in the county where the Independent Regiment and the New Second Regiment were based, Kong Jie and Ding Wei became active again.
"My thoughts are the same as Old Ding's!" Kong Jie also looked at Li Yunlong and said, "Improve the Japanese and earn a fortune in weapons, ammunition and food."
Li Yunlong's eyes widened: "It's no problem to do business as a partnership. This is not a small business. Although the three of us have a good relationship, we are brothers and we will settle the accounts clearly. We, Lao Li, don't want more. Let's work together to conquer the county. , I don’t want a single gun or bullet from the seized weapons and ammunition, but we will split the business... half and half."
In the past, Li Yunlong also went to Ding Wei and Kong Jie's defense area to do business of attacking the county.
Moreover, they brought the main force there. The weapons, ammunition and food seized after the county town was captured went to Ding Wei and Kong Jie, while the profits from business went to Li Yunlong.
As soon as these words came out, Kong Jie and Ding Wei immediately stopped working.
"Do you still have any conscience?" Ding Wei asked, "Lao Kong and I have two regiments. This time, in order to cover your new regiment, we fought with four divisions and more than 10,000 puppet troops for more than half a month. , is this how you repay us?"
"That's right!" Kong Jie also said in support, "You idiot said a long time ago that you would give me and Lao Ding a few 150mm howitzers, but up to now we haven't even seen a single cannon. Now we are equipped with 203mm heavy howitzers. , the equipment is so fat, how dare you take half of the business?"
Seeing three old comrades quarreling over business distribution issues, Zhao Gang, Xing Zhiguo and Wang Dehou, as well as a group of battalion commanders, hurried to the car on the highway.
Li Yunlong stared at Ding Wei and Kong Jie and said: "Old Ding, what you said is as if your new second regiment fought the Japanese for me, Li Yunlong, and you want to repay me. Why don't you let the head of the headquarters repay you?"
"If it weren't for our Lao Li, would your new second regiment have a deposit of 2 basic ammunition?"
"Does your new second regiment have an airdrop supply of 6 basic ammunition?"
"The same goes for you, Lao Kong. Without us, Lao Li, how could your independent group have the fortune it has now? Just have your big dream!"
"Lao Li, we all remember your love." Kong Jie said with a bitter look on his face, "The key to the problem now is that you took half of the business, and Lao Ding and I still have to hand over half to the brigade. Then we both Isn’t it all a waste of work?”
"That's true." Li Yunlong said, "How could I forget about this?"
"Your new regiment is now under the direct control of the headquarters and does not need to be robbed by the brigade commander." Kong Jie said, "You must live a comfortable life."
"Now we, Mr. Li, are indeed not robbed by the brigade commander, but the head of the headquarters often congratulates me on getting rich." Li Yunlong waved his hand, "I have to hand over half of the business to the headquarters."
Ding Wei said: "This business does not require you, Mr. Li, to send many people. The main thing is to send some troops to go over and show to Boss Chen that we are a cooperative relationship. We will liberate the county together and the business is done." Besides, you new group can also start a business on your own.”
Li Yunlong asked: "Old Ding, do you want to fight against Datong?"
"That's right!" Ding Weidao said, "The Japanese army's attack on northwest Shanxi this time mainly focused on the two important strongholds of Etaiyuan and Datong. Some of the Japanese supplies must be hoarded in Datong."
"The ones that attacked northwest Shanxi from Datong were the 23rd and 25th Divisions of the Japanese Kwantung Army."
"The losses of these two divisions are not small, and they will definitely return to the outside of the pass. By then, there will only be a disabled 3rd Brigade stationed in Datong."
"Isn't this your new group's opportunity to make a fortune?"
In fact, Li Yunlong thought the same way. After the new regiment rested for a while, he would lead his troops to attack Datong.
Although the time to attack Taiyuan is not yet mature, there is no problem in attacking Datong.
The new group’s counterattack begins with the fight against Datong!
Let the little devil know that Xinyi Tuan is not so easy to mess with.
When Kong Jie saw this, he knew that Li Yunlong had long planned to attack Datong. This guy just hid it and asked, "Old Li, how much weapons and equipment can your new regiment earn by conquering Datong?"
"Not much." Li Yunlong said, "That's three times the amount of the county seat."
"Three times?" Kong Jie exclaimed, "Conquering Datong is equivalent to capturing three county towns. Isn't that much? You boy is so full that you don't know how hungry you are when you are hungry."
"Forget it, forget it." Li Yunlong waved his hand and said, "This time the business of conquering the county town belongs to you two. You two can each give me a howitzer and an anti-aircraft gun."
"Also, this time our new regiment attacked the 10th Division head-on, captured more than 100 thickened bunkers and gun towers, and earned more than 1,000 20mm machine guns."
"According to the old rules, I have to hand over half to the headquarters. I'm going to give you two 100 of the remaining 500 or so doors."
"How's it going? Are we, Lao Li, interesting enough?"
Although more than 100 thickened bunkers and gun towers were captured, the county seat was not captured because the 10th Division was forced to retreat. When the new regiment arrived at the three county towns of Pingan, Anhua and Heyuan, no fighting broke out. Therefore, the three counties this time did not count as business.
When Ding Wei and Kong Jie heard this, they couldn't help but become ecstatic.
Get rich!
They both know that machine gun is a unit of measurement, 1 machine gun = 1 bazooka = 2 60mm mortars = 1 flamethrower = 1 82mm mortar = 2 m2 heavy machine guns = 4 It's a Browning M1917 heavy machine gun.
Can be exchanged at will.
Next, Brother San discussed some details about the exchange, and then walked towards the car arm in arm.
