Chapter 226 Li Yunlong: Kong Er Lengzi, You Wouldn't Be Reluctant
The questions raised by the workers undoubtedly touched the hearts of the dozens of remaining workers.
On the spot, more than sixty workers agreed to join the Eighth Route Army, but there were still a dozen workers who insisted on staying in Taiyuan. Kong Jie could not force them, so he waved his hand and let them go.
"Report to the leader... The worker comrade who spoke to us just now said that he has something important to see you!" Duan Yong, the guard battalion commander who was on alert, suddenly ran to Kong Jie and reported.
"Bring him here quickly... If it weren't for his help, there would definitely not be so many workers joining us... I must thank him!" Kong Jie said with emotion.
"Reporting to the leader, Zhu Shaohua, a worker in the rifle production workshop of Taiyuan Arsenal, reported... I have been lurking in the arsenal for four years and finally saw one of my own again!" The worker who had spoken for the Independent Group several times walked up to Kong Jie and said excitedly!
"Wait...you mean one of your own?" Kong Jie was confused by the scene in front of him and asked quickly.
"The party I joined four years ago... the arsenal has a total of three formal party members and eight probationary members... The superior party organization appointed me as the leader of the party group of Taiyuan Arsenal, secretly developing its own people!"
"The four probationary party members entered the arsenal in the later years...the remaining six are all among these old workers!"
"Great! Let me tell you why you spoke for us for no reason just now. It turns out you are one of our own!" The smile on Kong Jie's face was thicker than before, and he couldn't close his mouth.
Looking at Zhu Shaohua, he ordered: "Comrade Zhu Shaohua, I now appoint you as the commander-in-chief of the relocation of the Taiyuan Arsenal!"
"Organize all our party members and reserve party members lurking in the arsenal, unite those engineers and veteran workers who are willing to join our Eighth Route Army, and immediately dismantle the military equipment in the factory area. Move away all that can be moved, and blow up all that cannot be moved.
If you drop it, not a single screw can be left to the little devil!"
"I have prepared dozens of car transfer equipment..."
"Dismantle one piece of equipment, load one piece into a vehicle... and evacuate the Taiyuan Arsenal as quickly as possible!"
"Batalion Commander Duan!" Kong Jie immediately turned his attention to Duan Yong, the commander of the guard battalion: "From now on, the guard battalion will unconditionally cooperate with Comrade Zhu Shaohua in relocating the Taiyuan Arsenal!"
"When the situation in the city stabilizes, the supply camp will come to help you!"
Zhu Shaohua was very excited.
Kong Jie's plan to relocate the Taiyuan Arsenal means that underground party members like them can finally move to the front desk, and they don't have to be cautious about everything they do before, for fear of losing their lives and threatening the safety of their families if they are exposed.
Immediately accept the order: "Please rest assured, chief, we promise to complete the task!"
As soon as Zhu Shaohua left, the deputy commander of the assault company, Zhong Chengjun, suddenly ran towards him in a hurry: "Commander, company commander... we found a secret arsenal in the arsenal..."
"It's full of weapons and ammunition, and there are many heavy weapons. I saw four Guangshan cannons..."
"There are also several small-caliber rapid-fire cannons..."
When Huang Yu heard this, he looked forward to the analysis: "The Taiyuan Arsenal can not only produce various light weapons and ammunition, but also repair heavy weapons!"
"The warehouse you found must be weapons and ammunition that have just been repaired and produced by the arsenal, and they haven't had time to transport them away!"
Today's independent regiments are not short of weapons, but Kong Jie is used to being poor. Whenever he hears that there are good weapons, his eyes light up and he gives orders immediately.
"Take me to see it quickly!"
When you open the door of the arsenal, the first thing you see are four mountain cannons, eight mortars, and nine heavy machine guns...
The rest are all boxes, neatly stacked in the warehouse, some big and some small, all different...
When Huang Yu entered the door, he stared at a few large boxes that he had rarely seen before. As soon as he pried them open, his face lit up with joy. He shouted excitedly: "They are pistols... They are all brand-new Mauser pistols... Captain, let's make a fortune."
Got it!"
"With these Mauser pistols and the original equipment of the army, all cadres above the squad leader in the independent regiment can be equipped with one..."
Kong Jie was not reserved and personally picked up a bayonet to pry the box...
Twenty minutes later, everyone, including Kong Jie, left the arsenal with smiles on their faces.
Two boxes of Mauser pistols and ten boxes of matching bullets were taken away directly by Kong Jie, and they were immediately distributed to equip the troops!
The Independent Regiment is deep in the heart of the enemy and may encounter danger at any time.
Only by making the independent regiment stronger can the equipment in the Taiyuan Arsenal be safely returned to the base.
The regiment commander still knew this, so he went against the norm and equipped his troops with all Mauser pistols.
As for whether the troops should be handed over to the brigade headquarters after returning to the base area, we will discuss it at that time.
"Captain, we have made a fortune..." Second Battalion Commander Xiao Yuanchang suddenly ran over and reported excitedly from a distance.
"We knocked down the Japanese bank in Taiyuan City!"
"The kid inside wanted to retreat with the money in the bank, but he ended up bumping into us..."
"There are so many gold and silver treasures piled in the vault... I can't even count them... They were all seized by us. In my whole life, I have never seen so much money!"
This result was already within Kong Jie's expectation.
After the troops captured Jinzhong, they also knocked down the Japanese bank in Jinzhong City and seized a large amount of gold and silver.
Because he had never seen what a bank vault looked like, Kong Jie made a special trip to the bank.
Hearing that the attacking troops had captured the Bank of Japan in Taiyuan City, he had long been accustomed to it, so he calmly ordered it!
"The ocean is too difficult to carry and heavy..."
"We still follow the old rules...Immediately arrange for people to contact the merchants in the city and exchange all the oceans for gold and Japanese currency. I would rather suffer a small loss than exchange..."
"By the way, take the ocean to the city to buy a car. As long as it can transport equipment, I will buy it all back!"
"If the car is in the hands of the Japanese, just take it back to me, don't be polite!"
"Captain..." First Battalion Commander Shen Quan rushed over closely behind. Although he was breathing heavily, the smile on his face could not conceal his inner excitement.
Without waiting for Kong Jie to speak, he reported excitedly: "We have occupied the camp of the Little Japanese Cavalry Brigade..."
"The Japanese inside were just about to retreat when they were killed by our surprise attack!"
"Although only a dozen Japanese were eliminated, more than 200 spare horses for the cavalry brigade were captured!"
"Kong Er, what kind of war horse? Don't forget your old comrades when something good happens to you!" Before Li Yunlong appeared, excited shouts reached Kong Jie's ears.
"Old Li...Old Ding...why are you here?" Being able to see his old comrades in the heart of the enemy, Kong Jie was so excited that words couldn't describe him. He left Shen Quan behind and headed towards them.
While walking, he complained: "Didn't I let you rest in Jinzhong? Why did you come here!"
"I must be very tired after driving for dozens of hours straight..."
"I heard that you are fighting against Taiyuan. When Old Li and I have grown up, we have never seen a big city like Taiyuan... And why are we missing in such a big battle like Taiyuan!" Ding Wei quickly explained.
"After arranging the troops, I hurried here with the cavalry company, but it was still too late!"
"I didn't know until I got outside the city that you had captured the outer city of Taiyuan!"
Li Yunlong was not so polite when he spoke, and interrupted directly: "Old Ding, we are all rough guys, don't be so formal!"
"Kong Er's fool quietly captured the outer city of Taiyuan. Taiyuan is where the headquarters of the Japs' First Army is located. A brigade of Japs and a division of puppet troops are stationed all year round!"
"It's still the provincial capital of SX and a political and economic center. Even if we only capture the outer city, the gains will be no less than in Jinzhong."
"I thought that if the independent regiment fought continuously, its troops would definitely suffer serious losses, and they would not be able to take away all the captures!"
"Lao Ding and I will bring our respective cavalry companies over to help you transport the loot!"
After hearing this, Kong Jie smiled bitterly. Only Li Yunlong, the three old comrades in arms, could talk so grandly about dividing the spoils without blushing.
But he didn't have any dissatisfaction in his heart. On the one hand, he was familiar with Li Yunlong and knew that he was a big mouth. His old comrades never talked out of their wits, but they had good intentions.
On the other hand, it is because there is indeed a lot of loot captured in the outer city of Taiyuan. With their help, the transportation speed will definitely be much faster.
Moreover, they hurriedly marched more than 100 kilometers to help themselves. Reasonably and logically, they should be given some of the spoils to prevent their work from going in vain.
He quickly answered: "A large amount of loot was indeed seized from the outer city of Taiyuan!"
"The specific number is still being calculated. The weapons and ammunition I know so far are enough to arm a reinforced regiment. If you want it, go get it yourself. The independent regiment will definitely not be able to use that much equipment!"
"But I want to remind you: in the future, the troops will often carry out some long-distance raid missions. We must not let the equipment affect the marching speed of the troops. The gains outweigh the losses!"
Li Yunlong's face immediately lit up with joy, and he said directly: "I just heard outside that you captured more than two hundred war horses!"
"Lao Ding and I's cavalry company suffered more than half of its casualties in the counter-mopping up, and we are in urgent need of additional war horses... Kong Erlu, you won't be reluctant to part with us, will you?"
"Besides, the cavalry company of the independent regiment is already overstretched. If more than two hundred horses are needed to form a cavalry battalion, the brigade commander and the head of the headquarters will definitely not agree!"
Kong Jie replied with a smile: "Don't worry, our old comrades are indispensable!"
After saying that, he asked Shen Quan: "First battalion commander, how many war horses have you captured in total at the Jaap Cavalry station? I want the specific number!"
"Two hundred and thirty-six horses in total!" Chen Quan replied.
"That's easy!" Kong Jie made a decision quickly: "You two regiments will each be divided into eighty horses. The independent regiment will suffer some losses, so it will be divided into seventy-six horses... No objection!"
Li Yunlong quickly waved his hand: "Of course I have no objection... My old comrade-in-arms is still kind to me, Li Yunlong!"
"When we return to the base, I, Li Yunlong, will definitely treat you to a drink... take out the good wine I have secretly hidden, and you will not return until you are drunk..."
"With these eighty horses, the cavalry company of the New Second Regiment can not only return to full strength, but also expand by one more cavalry platoon..."
