Li Yunlong can ride a horse, but he has no horse and is not qualified.
Sun Desheng's war horse was temporarily lent to him by the brigade commander.
It must be returned immediately after use.
It was such a busy journey, and Li Yunlong was exhausted.
Fortunately, we finally reached our destination before dark.
Ping'an County.
It's so peaceful.
It doesn't look like a battlefield at all.
If there are traces of fighting everywhere, it seems like nothing happened.
Zhang Chu was about to go find Li Yunlong, but found that Li Yunlong was coming towards him.
So he stopped.
"Zhang Chu!" Li Yunlong shouted.
"Captain!" Zhang Chu stood at attention and saluted politely.
Li Yunlong raised his hand to return the salute.
Then walked up quickly.
"follow me!"
"yes!"
Li Yunlong took Zhang Chu to several thatched houses.
The temporary headquarters of the new regiment is here. Except for a few regiment guards, everyone else has gone to work.
Guard Hu Zi is not here either. I don’t know where he went.
"I want weapons!"
"I want ammo!"
Li Yunlong explained his purpose straight to the point.
The new regiment is now really lightly armed. All heavy weapons have been turned in. Each rifle only has 30 rounds of ammunition. Each machine gun only has 100 rounds of ammunition.
If we encountered a large Japanese invader force, the consequences would be disastrous.
"Captain, have you encountered the Japanese invaders' Black Island Cavalry Regiment?" Zhang Chu did not answer directly.
"No." Li Yunlong shook his head.
On the way, he was also worried about being attacked by Japanese cavalry.
In this Japanese raid, a considerable number of cavalry were dispatched. Northwest Shanxi is close to the outside of the Great Wall, which is conducive to the activities of the Japanese cavalry.
When infantry meets cavalry, it is indeed very troublesome.
Stop fighting, it's a waste of time. It delays the opportunity to fight.
If you don't stop, the Japanese cavalry will harass you from a distance and make you uneasy.
The final result is probably that the strong man will cut off his wrists and sacrifice his tail to survive.
But it's strange that the new group went south all the way. They were so lucky that there were no accidents. They didn't even encounter a few thieves who blocked the way.
"Let's talk about weapons and ammunition first!" Li Yunlong brought the topic back.
"All the seized weapons and equipment have been sorted out." Zhang Chu pretended to be stupid, "Isn't there anyone to accept it?"
"I'm talking about big eight grains! Heavy machine guns! Mortars!"
"Oh, yes!"
Zhang Chu nodded.
Of course there is! It has been prepared for a long time.
but……
"Captain, I have conditions!"
"Hey, you kid, do you dare to make terms with me now?"
Li Yunlong's eyes were as bright as a torch.
This Zhang Chu is getting more and more courageous 1
You still say you are a student? Will others believe you?
interesting……
"What are the conditions? Tell me!"
"Before giving up Ping'an County, we must conquer another county."
"Why?"
"Because I need a county town to receive a large amount of weapons and ammunition. Commander, the weapons and ammunition you need are not a small amount. It cannot be received by just any village or ravine."
Zhang Chu found a perfect excuse for himself.
Successfully transferred the pressure to Li Yunlong.
I'll help you upgrade weapons and equipment. You must also help me meet the system's conditions.
To attack the county seat, it is you who belongs to you.
"Zhang Chu, who are you?"
"Just think of me as an arms dealer. I can help you upgrade weapons and equipment."
"How to help?"
"Yes! I can help you replace old weapons with new weapons. Replace outdated weapons with advanced weapons. I can also provide you with a large amount of ammunition."
“Must it be the county seat?”
"A city larger than the county seat can also be used. Taking Taiyuan is the best."
"..."
Li Yunlong fell into silence.
Obviously, he found this matter difficult.
Quite difficult.
If you attack a certain stronghold or a small place, that's fine. But if you designate a county seat, it's not easy.
He, Li Yunlong, is not a reckless person and must seriously consider the gains and losses.
"Are you an arms dealer?"
"You could say that."
"Then how do you sell your weapons and equipment?"
"Only exchange, not sell."
"What's the meaning?"
"You can exchange your old guns for a big eight-pellet gun. I will give you three hundred rounds of ammunition for each gun."
"Any kind of gun will do?"
"Broken guns, rotten guns, damaged guns, and unusable guns are all acceptable. Old slides made in Hanyang are also acceptable. However, gun guns, lifting rods and the like are not counted."
“That’s not bad!”
Li Yunlong nodded with satisfaction.
This kind of business is not a loss no matter how you look at it. It’s even a bit embarrassing.
It seems like I’m making too much money…
He looked down at the map.
"I promise you! Before giving up Ping'an County, I will definitely capture another county!"
"Thanks!"
Zhang Chu felt relieved.
Lao Li is still very responsible and willing to do things even if he gets benefits.
With Li Yunlong's guarantee, double recycling should be able to save it.
"Zhang Dabiao!"
"arrive!"
Arrive before anyone else arrives.
After a while, Zhang Dabiao came in like a storm.
When I saw Zhang Chu, I immediately gave him a thumbs up. I didn’t know what it meant. Anyway, he was very happy.
"Dabiao, have you finished comparing the numbers with the actual objects?"
"The comparison is basically completed. The numbers are correct. We have received a total of more than 1,500 new and old rifles, more than 70 light and heavy machine guns, more than 50 grenades, and 50,000 rounds of bullets of various calibers."
"A little short of bullets?"
"It's all gathered together. There are more than 50,000 shots."
"Okay. Got it."
Li Yunlong waved his hand. Zhang Dabiao continued his work.
When a new regiment first arrived, the most important thing was all kinds of weapons and ammunition. Zhang Dabiao was Li Yunlong's most trusted subordinate, so of course he had to do the inventory himself.
The numbers were handed in, but Li Yunlong was still uneasy without seeing the real thing.
"How to change bullets?"
"I can give you bullets for free. I'll do my best."
"Thank you very much. I'll give you five hundred thousand first."
"Can."
Zhang Chu nodded happily.
Li Yunlong was slightly startled.
Originally he was like a lion and spoke casually.
Half a million rounds of ammunition is not a small amount. In the past, the entire 129th Division had less than 100,000 rounds of ammunition.
He asked for 500,000 hairs, could Zhang Chu easily agree?
What's more, this is a free gift. It doesn't cost any money.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Chu didn't take it seriously at all and agreed easily.
"Boss Zhang, you didn't lie to me?"
"Why are you lying to me? Five hundred thousand rounds of bullets is not a lot. I will arrange for a transport team to send them here now. Five hundred thousand rounds of large eight-grain bullets. Five hundred thousand rounds of Mauser rifle bullets."
"Then...thank you so much. Thank you so much."
Li Yunlong's joy was indescribable.
Even though he was asking for a lot of money, he only dared to ask for 500,000 rounds. Unexpectedly, Zhang Chu directly gave him 1 million!
He was a little uncomfortable with suddenly becoming rich.
Guns are important, of course. But bullets are more important.
Didn't the New Regiment have guns before? Yes. But they were short of bullets, so even having guns was useless.
It was only after Zhang Chu arrived that he provided the new regiment with a large amount of weapons and equipment, and was able to successfully defeat the Bantian Regiment. Otherwise, they would have just broken through.
"Then I exchange a thousand rifles for a thousand big eight grains?"
"Okay. I will arrange for the transportation team to deliver the big eight grains now. Then I will take away the old guns."
"I'll use 50 more light machine guns..."
"You have thought about what model you want to replace. I will send someone to deliver it together."
"let me see……"
Li Yunlong hesitated.
Light and heavy machine guns, etc., what model should I change?
Czech style?
Maxim?
"What machine guns do you have now?"
"The German mg-34 general machine gun, the British Bren light machine gun, and the Soviet DP-28 machine gun. They are all available. Which one do you want?"
