Chapter 111 Some people are surprised and some are worried.
"What?"
"Can you say that again?"
At the station of the 14th Regiment of the 385th Brigade, the commander of the 14th Regiment stared wide-eyed at the communications soldier Mozi who came to report.
"Captain."
Communications Corpsman Mozi gasped:
"The battalion commander asked you to send a few soldiers who can operate mortars to the independent regiment."
"I want you to send another full company to the independent regiment."
"The independent regiment gave us twenty-seven Czechs, four Maxims, six individual flamethrowers, eight mortars, as well as a large number of bullets and artillery shells, rifles, and shell guns. Our numbers are not enough."
"By the way, there are fifty-one Pelton horses."
"We can bring these weapons and equipment back after taking away the Taye Regiment, and we can also bring back the ammunition."
Although the arrangement is unclear, Mozi still made things clear.
"you sure?"
Even after seeing the written report from his first battalion commander, the commander of the 14th Regiment was still a little unbelievable.
Who is Li Yunlong!
Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Province is notoriously stingy, and it is difficult to even get a meal while passing by.
Although this guy is now rich and has a brother who is as rich as the Japanese and is very tough, and has supported his superiors with large quantities of weapons and ammunition on several occasions, it is hard to imagine that the support troops sent to him were actually given a lot of good weapons and equipment and
ammunition.
There are even eight mortars.
"Yes, I've got them all."
Mozi continued:
"The mortars are two 82-mm mortars and six 60-mm mortars."
"All added up, it's more than ten tons."
"Good fellow, is this the sun rising in the west?" The signal soldier couldn't possibly lie to him. Even if the commander of the 14th Regiment didn't believe it, he had to believe it.
"Second Battalion Commander..."
The commander of the 14th regiment immediately raised his voice and asked the second battalion commander who happened to be at the regiment headquarters to arrange manpower:
"You transfer five soldiers from the regiment who have learned mortars before, and immediately set off for the independent regiment, and then ask the first company of your battalion to follow them."
"By the way, you don't need to bring weapons and equipment."
"ah?"
The second battalion commander did not react for a while.
"Ah what, hurry up and execute the order." The commander of the 14th Regiment cursed.
"But, don't we need to report it to the brigade headquarters?"
the second battalion commander asked.
No. 4, the 1st Company of the 2nd Battalion, is a super-staffed company with a total strength of 150 men, plus five mortar gunners. It is a violation of discipline to transfer so many people directly from the regimental commander.
Moreover, superiors have ordered that troops be stationed on the spot in the near future and any actions must be reported.
"Report to the brigade commander?"
The commander of the 14th Regiment glared again and cursed directly:
"Don't tell me that there is a problem with the phone line between us and the brigade headquarters. We can't contact you."
"Even if there is no problem, I will call and report first, and then organize people to go to the independent group to receive the equipment. The brigade commander will definitely scold me for being hesitant in doing things. If Li Yunlong regrets it or is late, everything will be divided and he will be able to salivate.
The labor and capital are flooded."
"Act quickly!"
The political commissar of the 14th Regiment also spoke at this time.
"yes."
The regimental commander and political commissar had already spoken, and the second battalion commander had no choice but to carry out the order.
"Hahaha, eight mortars, twenty-seven Czechs, and four Maxims. With these assets, I will be able to annihilate a Japanese group in the future."
"Fifty-one Pelton horses can carry the whole regiment's belongings, and they have greater mobility."
The leader of the 14th Regiment smiled triumphantly:
"Li Yunlong's favor has been remembered by labor and management."
"correct."
The commander of the 14th regiment said to the second battalion commander who had not yet left the regiment headquarters:
"You lead the team."
"Go to the independent group to study. Li Yunlong has had these good equipment for a while, and he must be more skilled in using them than us."
"Although this guy Li Yunlong has a bad temper, his fighting ability is second to none."
"Yes." The second battalion commander saluted and left the regiment headquarters.
"Judging from the report of the first battalion commander."
After the second battalion commander left, the political commissar of the 14th regiment looked at the report of the first battalion commander and marveled:
"In other words, Li Yunlong provided the same amount of weapons, equipment and ammunition to the five battalions that went to support the independent regiment?"
"So rich!"
"Now, I think those people will regret it so much that their intestines will turn blue."
The commander of the 14th regiment felt the taste of double happiness.
I have a large number of good weapons and equipment. With these, the firepower of the 14th Regiment can match that of a Japanese brigade.
As for other regiments, they could obviously seize this opportunity, but they gave up on their own. They must have regretted it. How could those guys regret it? When he thought of those old comrades beating their chests, he felt relieved.
Jingle Bell··
After a while, the line checker came back to report that the phone line had been repaired. The phone rang immediately. The commander of the 14th regiment answered the phone. It was the commander of the 15th regiment.
The two are old comrades-in-arms and old friends, and they are very familiar with each other.
"Did you also get the battalion equipment given by Li Yunlong?" The commander of the 14th regiment knew exactly what the other party meant by the call, and he was about to call.
"Hahaha... This support is really profitable."
"I didn't expect that Li Stingy would be so generous once in a while."
"Why is Li stingy, calling Commander Li so arrogant?"
The 14th regiment leader was very angry:
"Labour and management look down upon people like you the most, who speak ill of others behind their backs!"
"What this comrade teaches is..."
The fifteenth regiment leader immediately admitted his mistake and his tone changed:
"Captain Li Da has strong commanding ability and team spirit. He is worth learning from."

Northern Review.
Inside the First Army Headquarters.
There is a latest report on Jun Tada's desk.
"Nani?"
"Can you say that again?"
Tada Jun stood up suddenly and looked at the staff officer with wide eyes.
"Major General Shojiro Ochiai, commander of the 13th Brigade, was hit by an explosion in Taiyuan and was confirmed to have been shattered."
"Lieutenant General Liangfu, the commander of the 19th Division, was hit by an explosion in Baoding last month and was confirmed to have been shattered."
"Major General Mizuhara Yishige, the commander of the 7th Independent Mixed Brigade, was attacked by an explosion in Beiping, and it has been confirmed that his jade was shattered."
"In the above three explosion attacks, the attackers were found at the scene and it was suspected that time bombs were installed, and they all occurred this morning."
Listening to the repeated reports from his staff, Jun Tada suddenly felt dizzy and his head became very heavy.
Two more major generals and two lieutenant generals were attacked, just like Baoding.
But this time the situation is a little different from Baoding.
The attacks occurred in three locations: Baoding, Beiping, and Taiyuan, all of which are important towns and core cities of the North China Front, where the security forces are strongest.
Moreover, after the Baoding attack, the locust army stepped up their vigilance.
This shows that the Locust Army was penetrated by the enemy much deeper than the base camp expected, and was able to launch explosive attacks on three generals in three cities at the same time without leaving any obvious clues at the scene.
It also shows that the security situation in North China is extremely bad.
No matter what, I am afraid that as the temporary commander, he will have to leave immediately...
Thinking of this, Jun Tada felt even more dizzy and heavy.
To be continued...
