Chapter 164 Li Yunlong, could the person who supports you be your brother-in-law?
"Two Type 92 infantry guns and 500 rounds of ammunition were specially approved for Li Yunlong's troops.
Ten 60mm mortars and 500 shells.
Fifty grenade launchers and one thousand special grenades.
Ten Maxim water-cooled heavy machine guns, with 50,000 rounds of ammunition.
Twenty Czech light machine guns, with 20,000 rounds of ammunition.
There are 2,000 Type 38 rifles (complete set) and 200,000 rounds of ammunition.
Five hundred Hanyang rifles (complete set) and fifty thousand rounds of ammunition.
There were a total of 200 boxes of Gong-made grenades (50 grenades per box) and a total of 100 Broadsword mines.
A radio station, 5,000 cotton-padded jackets and military coats, some Fenjiu, cigarettes, canned beef, some rice and flour…”
The brigade commander finally finished reading. Li Yunlong, who was listening on the side, could no longer hold the tension on his face.
He has already started to struggle between his conscience and his desires. With so many extra supplies at once, no one would be able to handle it.
Li Yunlong was thinking in his heart: Do I want unity or supplies?
Just now you said you wanted to give away your new cotton-padded clothes, but now you really seem like a rich man. It's too difficult for me.
At this time, the division commander said: "Your supplies are almost the same, so don't fight with Li Yunlong for them."
The regiment commanders below: My division commander, you should stop being so partial to Li Yunlong.
Can the distribution of supplies be the same? The supplies given to Li Yunlong are enough to form two more main force groups.
Their new regiment already has four Type 92 infantry guns.
Li Yunlong is now able to kill the Japanese, but you guys go and see how hard the weapon in his hand is.
In a medium-sized stronghold of the Japanese, he could destroy two artillery towers with just two artillery shells.
Now the Japanese soldiers opposite Li Yunlong's defense zone dare not provoke him easily.
I heard that one of the Japanese divisions that was encircling the base was transferred from the Kwantung Army.
They did not understand Li Yunlong's methods, so they dared to propose ending the fighting before the Spring Festival.
The division commander saw everyone's opinions and said to them, "As I said just now, this has all been specially approved by Yan'an.
Moreover, these weapons were donated to our Eighth Route Army by patriotic people.
The reason why Li Yunlong took so much was because it was designated by patriots, and your brigade cannot intercept it. "
The brigade chief was in a positive mood today. No matter how much meat there was, it would have rotted in the pot of his 386th Brigade. Why should he be in a hurry?
Kong Jie, who was standing next to him, poked Li Yunlong and asked curiously, "Li Yunlong, are you talking about the patriot who donated the supplies to us, your brother-in-law?"
Li Yunlong said: "It would be great if this was really my brother-in-law!
I have to ask my wife's family to contribute everything they can to our team!"
"Haha..." Everyone laughed quietly for a while, and the atmosphere finally eased.
In fact, what Kong Jie said was true. Song Wenwan and Yang Xiuqin are now siblings. Isn't he Li Yunlong's brother-in-law?
At this time, a communications staff officer ran over and reported to the deputy commander-in-chief.
"Commander, a telegram has come from Yan'an: Arrive at the designated location in half an hour, fire two blue flares, and then start the airdrop."
The deputy commander immediately led the regiment leaders and rushed to the valley behind the village.
Originally, the division commander did not want the deputy commander-in-chief to go with him, after all, the risk was too great.
Helplessly, the deputy commander-in-chief, who also wanted to "broaden his horizons", insisted on tagging along.
The leaders of each regiment did not come alone. Each of them brought a battalion of soldiers to escort the supplies.
The supplies had not arrived yet, but the brigade commander had already pulled Li Yunlong to the side.
The brigade commander asked him in a low voice: "Li Yunlong, tell me the truth, how many troops does your New 1st Regiment have now?"
Li Yunlong first looked around to see if there was anyone around, then he whispered, "Commander of the Brigade, our regiment did have only 3,000 people a few days ago."
The brigade chief said, "Oh, what now?"
Li Yunlong said: "Don't be angry, Commander, I was called to the headquarters before I had the chance to tell you.
When Deputy Regiment Commander Wu came back yesterday, in addition to bringing back cotton-padded clothes and ammunition, he also brought back a battalion for me.
Didn’t they say that the Japanese were coming to raid our base again?
They are from the Gan Detachment, in order to increase the strength of our Eighth Route Army.
A main battalion of 700 people was directly transferred and given to our new regiment.
Of course, it was only because of your presence as the Grand Brigade Commander that I was able to take advantage of this."
Add to that the county brigade, district squad, militia and so on in our defense zone, and the total number should be at least 5,000."
In fact, Li Yunlong did set an ambush. The other defense areas were indeed composed of county brigades and district squads.
But his was already a basic regiment and a reinforced company.
If the Battle of Ping'angle took place later, a company would be dispatched from the current New 1st Regiment.
Including the people from the county brigade and district team, there are thousands of people.
With the current weapons and equipment, the Japanese reinforcements from that regiment are really not enough.
There is no need for Chu Yunfei's 358th Regiment to take action. They can hold on by themselves and capture Ping'an County.
When the time came, the deputy commander-in-chief gave the order and fired two blue flares into the sky.
Immediately afterwards, everyone heard the roar of airplane propellers from the sky.
Then, I saw a lot of small white dots swaying and descending from the clouds.
When they got closer, the division commander said, “It’s the parachutes coming down!
All regiments, please pay attention and leave this area immediately. Be careful not to get hurt."
A full two hours later, these parachutes, carrying many large boxes, landed in the valley.
The sound of the plane gradually died down.
From beginning to end, everyone only saw the parachute and no trace of the plane was seen.
The deputy commander looked at the mountains of equipment and quickly ordered all the regiment leaders to take action.
While the comrades from the headquarters were registering, they were also asked to take their share.
This was a tough situation for Li Yunlong, as he only had one battalion of soldiers with him, so he could only help other troops carry supplies.
His new regiment’s share of supplies would have to wait until the end.
They spent the whole day moving until everyone had left.
Li Yunlong also had to help move the supplies from the headquarters back.
The deputy commander-in-chief was not someone who was unsympathetic to his subordinates. In the evening, he not only invited Li Yunlong and others to dinner, but also let them spend the night at the headquarters.
By the afternoon of the next day, Wu Changfeng brought his troops to transport supplies.
Li Yunlong was very perceptive. He left a box of Fenjiu and ten packs of cigarettes at the headquarters before hurriedly setting off.
The deputy commander-in-chief and the division commander watched Li Yunlong and his men set off.
Looking at Li Yunlong's long team, the division commander said: "Boss, I don't want me to praise Li Yunlong.
He is an expert at both leading troops and fighting.”
The deputy chief of staff said: "It turns out that he has another shortcoming, which is that he always likes to do things that violate orders.
He always makes big mistakes right after winning a battle. He has been the head of the regiment for five terms, up and down."
The deputy commander-in-chief said: "That Wu Changfeng is also very good. With his help, Li Yunlong rarely makes mistakes!"
