Chapter 188 Picking up for free
Li Yunlong led Ding Wei and Kong Jie into the military fortress and walked to the front of the sand table.
"Lao Li, before we came here, the brigade commander told us that the New 1st and New 2nd Regiments should obey your command. Lao Kong was not convinced at the time and insisted on going to the brigade headquarters to ask for an explanation. Why should we obey your command?"
Ding Wei talked a lot, leaving Li Yunlong and Kong Jie stunned.
Kong Jie looked at Li Yunlong, then at Ding Wei, and pointed at the tip of his nose.
"Me? I said?"
Ding Wei winked at Kong Jie, expressing his disappointment in him.
"Isn't that what you said? You even said that you had to ask Lao Li for some benefits, otherwise you couldn't do this short-term job!"
Kong Jie then understood that Ding Wei was trying to get some benefits from him.
Since Ding Wei has the nerve to ask for it, he would be wise to take advantage of it.
"Old Li, I don't know if what you said is right or not, but as a wealthy man like you, you will definitely not treat me unfairly, right? All the weapons and ammunition for this battle will be charged to you!"
Li Yunlong didn't expect that these two old guys had been making a fuss for a long time just to get some "wages"?
"Kong Jie, don't hang out with Ding Wei anymore. You worked with me in the independent regiment, and you lost all the good qualities you learned from me!"
Ding Wei didn't expect that Li Yunlong's move of hitting the target from a distance would injure him.
"Old Li, please stop spitting blood at me. If you keep talking nonsense to me, I will report you to the brigade commander. We can't afford to serve a local rich man like you!"
After Ding Wei finished speaking, he lifted his legs and stretched them out.
Li Yunlong hurriedly grabbed him, his face wrinkled with smile, and held one of his hands.
"Hey, I've already told you that we are the iron triangle. How could I forget you two brothers when something good happens?"
The brigade commander asked the New 1st and New 2nd Regiments to cooperate with Li Yunlong for three reasons:
First, the New 771st and New 772nd Regiments are closest to Changzhi, making it easier to provide support, while the st and nd Regiments operate with the brigade headquarters and are far away.
Second, Li Yunlong, Ding Wei and Kong Jie have cooperated well for many years and can maximize their combat effectiveness.
The third is to ask Li Yunlong to provide assistance to the New 1st and New 2nd Regiments to help them improve their combat effectiveness.
Ding Wei and Kong Jie sat at the conference table angrily, with their hands crossed in front of them, with an expression that said "you decide".
They both secretly decided that they couldn't get over the fact that they were missing two hundred guns.
"Old Ding, Old Kong, how many troops do you have directly under your command now?"
Ding Wei and Kong Jie sat up straight. Are they going to be assigned tasks according to the organization before they even get any benefits?
"Our new regiment has about 4,000 people, right?"
"The New Second Regiment is about the same, 4,000 people!"
Li Yunlong counted on his fingers, only eight thousand people, no big deal!
Ding Wei and Kong Jie watched Li Yunlong counting on his fingers, then went out and whispered something to Wang Meng.
"Hey, our Independent Column Commander Li has fingers as thick as rolling pins, but he can not only embroider, but also count!"
"Hahaha, that's right, but Lao Li, no matter how you count, there are at least two hundred rifles and one hundred thousand bullets!"
Li Yunlong raised his head with resentment and looked at the two of them with some surprise.
"Ah? Only two hundred guns? Then I'll go talk to Wang Meng and get the rest of the guns back!"
Now it was Ding Wei and Kong Jie's turn to pull Li Yunlong back. When these two cunning men heard this, they wondered if Li Yunlong, a wealthy man, was preparing to bleed heavily?
"Lao Li, Lao Li! Don't get excited. What other guns did you just mention?"
Li Yunlong pulled his hands away from them and lit a cigarette.
"Oh, it has nothing to do with you. It's just two hundred guns. Let Wang Meng send them to you right away!"
"Stop! Lao Li, please tell me what's going on!"
Seeing that Li Yunlong didn't say anything, Kong Jie pulled Wang Meng, who was leaning against the door frame watching the show, in.
"Mengzi, we were once comrades in the same trench. You can't lie to Li Yunlong. What other weapons are they?"
Li Yunlong nodded to Wang Meng, who spread his hands helplessly. Wang Meng then explained the matter to Ding Wei and Kong Jie.
"Commander Li has prepared 4,000 semi-automatic rifles and 1 million rounds of ammunition for each of you."
Ding Wei and Kong Jie were stunned. They didn't expect Li Yunlong to be so generous.
After all, the output of the military industrial base is the top military secret, and only a few people know about it.
Eight thousand rifles and two million rounds of ammunition were just the output of more than half a month.
Ever since the output of the military industrial base increased, Li Yunlong had long wanted to help his old comrades. After all, those weapons and equipment could not produce any offspring if kept in the warehouse, and could only be effective when used against the Japanese.
It has enhanced the strength of the New 1st and 2nd Regiments, and also provided a guarantee for the safety of the flanks.
Moreover, ever since the Independent Column asked the brigade commander for the mining rights to the entire base, the mines in the Yuncheng area have to be protected by both of them.
If it was really because the New 1st and 2nd Regiments were poorly equipped that the Independent Column’s mine was destroyed by the Japanese, it would be a huge loss.
You can't do business at a loss.
"Old Li, really?"
After being stunned for a while, Ding Wei came to his senses. If his new regiment was really equipped with semi-automatic rifles and had enough bullets, it could still withstand a complete Japanese regiment.
All the students who graduated from the National Defense University spoke highly of the G43 automatic rifle, saying that its rapid-fire and accuracy were much better than their existing equipment.
To put it in an exaggerated way, these students are used to using G43 and look down on the Type rifle and Mauser rifle, not to mention the Hanyang rifle and Chinese style.
For this reason, Ding Wei and Kong Jie complained about Li Yunlong, saying that he had spoiled the appetites of their top talents and backbone members.
Li Yunlong blew out a smoke ring and his mouth curled up again.
"Hey, let's not talk about the fact that you are here to help out this time. You also helped to resettle so many disaster victims some time ago, so you should be rewarded."
Recalling some time ago, Li Yunlong arranged all the miners from the disaster area to the various mines of the independent column to solve their work problems and also increase the output of the mines.
As for the families of the miners, they were arranged in villages near the mine. This was arranged directly by Ding Wei and Kong Jie's subordinates.
"Old Li, what are you talking about? You do owe us a favor, but even if you didn't do me a favor, we are still Chinese compatriots. Would we just ignore it?"
"That's right, you look down on people through the cracks in the door! But, let's be clear, when will the weapons and equipment be given to you?"
Li Yunlong didn't expect that these two guys were so flexible in terms of moral standards and consciousness standards.
"Okay, but you have to agree to one condition!"
"Go ahead, dilly-dally!"
"We must command the soldiers to train as soon as possible. Don't be stingy with the bullets. Don't let them go to the battlefield without knowing how to shoot!"
"Swearing?"
