After the battle, Li Yunlong walked on the smoke-filled battlefield with his hands behind his back with a proud look on his face. Looking at the soldiers who were collecting trophies everywhere, he smiled crookedly. Purchase
This time, it was really developed.
We have collected more than 20,000 firearms alone, including 38 big guns, southern pistols, Type 92 heavy machine guns, and crooked-handle light machine guns.
Among them, more than 16,000 were intact, more than 5,000 were lightly damaged, and more than 4,000 were completely damaged.
Among these firearms, only the Type 92 heavy machine gun and crooked machine gun occupied a small floor, almost two thousand of them.
With just these, they have made a fortune. When have they ever captured so much loot including the base area?
Not only that, more than five million rounds of various types of ammunition were also seized.
This is just individual soldier equipment. More than a thousand grenades were seized, and nearly a thousand were intact. More than 200 mortars were also seized, and more than 150 were repaired and can continue to be used.

Fifty or sixty field guns were also captured. What made Li Yunlong feel distressed was that seventy or eighty of them were completely destroyed. These are all treasures. In the past, it was rare for them to have one in a regiment. Now, so many trophies have been scrapped.
Oh, my heart is bleeding.
In addition, tens of thousands of various types of artillery shells were also seized, making Li Yunlong smile crookedly again.
Next, Li Yunlong's mood was like a roller coaster, sometimes happy, sometimes disappointed, sometimes distressed, sometimes happy.
Especially when I saw more than 100 armored vehicles and tanks, more than 80 of which were blown up, and more than 30 of which needed major repairs, and only about 20 of which were still operational, they were all scarred and heartbroken.
This was their trophy. Why were so many scrapped? If it were intact, how much combat effectiveness could it add to the army.
Fortunately, Li Yunlong finally felt relieved. Chariots, tanks, and artillery were blown up. In a state of war, these weapons should naturally be blown up.
The trucks, three-wheeled motorcycles, and tractors used by the Japanese army to transport weapons, ammunition, and soldiers did not suffer too many attacks, and many of them were preserved. Purchase
The Toiyuan Division is highly mechanized, and various types of vehicles are naturally indispensable.
Li Yunlong asked someone to do some statistics and found that there were more than 200 trucks of various types that could still be driven, as well as hundreds of three-wheeled motorcycles and dozens of artillery tractors...
Such a large amount of trophies simply blinded Li Yunlong.
"I, Lao Li, have really made a fortune this time."
While looking at the damaged weapons with distress, I also thought about the piles of trophies. It felt so sour and refreshing.
Suddenly, Li Yunlong saw a soldier collecting trophies in front of him. He kicked the ground and left half of the gun barrel broken.
With a straight face, he shouted: "Which army are you from?"
When the soldier saw Li Yunlong, he immediately saluted and said, "Report to Commander Li, I am from the Independent Regiment."
Li Yunlong scolded: "It turns out to be the independent regiment of Kong Jie's grandson. I thought it was some landlord and rich man. Why didn't you pick up the barrel?"
The soldier looked confused and said: "Didn't it explode? It can't be used!"
Li Yunlong said with a straight face: "What's wrong if it's blown up? If it's blown up, it's also our trophy. As long as it's our trophy, we'll take it all away."
"Even if it can't be used as a cannon, if you melt it back and make two iron pots, it can still be used by the cooking team."
The soldier also realized that such a large piece of steel did have many uses, so he quickly ran over and picked up the barrel.
Li Yunlong nodded, and then saw an abandoned tire, lying there alone, no one seemed to pick it up.
He quickly ordered a nearby soldier to pick it up. Even if such a large tire cannot be used in the car, it can be used in many other places. If it is not possible, it is also good to cut off the soles of a few pairs of shoes, which is better than straw sandals.
However, after going around in such a circle, Li Yunlong also realized a problem. The soldiers collecting the trophies were too impatient. They seemed to only see usable weapons, and many weapon remains and scattered parts were subconsciously ignored.
For Li Yunlong, who is used to living a hard life, how can this be possible? As long as it is a trophy left behind in a small book, I have to pick up even a bullet casing.
You know, even bullet casings are valuable in the base area! Due to the lack of bullets, after the war, all bullet casings must be preserved, handed over at once, and filled repeatedly.
Sometimes, soldiers lose bullet casings and are even punished.
How could such wasteful behavior happen? It must be packed up and taken away.

When Brigadier Chen saw the mountains of trophies, he was so surprised that he almost screamed, even though he had seen the world.
"Li Yunlong, there are so many trophies?"
Li Yunlong smiled and said: "That's it, if you don't look at who I am, Li Yunlong, I have scraped three feet of the land of Little Japan without leaving a single bullet casing."
"If this is sent to the rear base area and the damaged weapons are repaired, the strength of our entire base area can be improved."
Brigadier Chen said: "It's good that you think so, but the credit is not our own, Nanyang's side also deserves the credit."
"These trophies are half of theirs."
Li Yunlong said: "I heard that Nanyang is extremely rich. Look at the equipment that they use to support us and the equipment of the security forces. They are much better than those in a small book. Do you like these?"
Brigadier Chen said: "Whether they like it or not, half of the spoils are theirs. This is a matter of principle."
Li Yunlong nodded quickly: "The brigade commander is right. I, Old Li, are not confused. Regardless of whether they are in need or not, half of the spoils should be given to others. This is a matter of attitude."
"I'm going to call someone to divide the spoils."
Brigadier Chen smiled happily: "Go!"
…
In Nanyang, after listening to the report from adjutant Xu Weixin, Li Mu said: "The spoils of war...we don't want it, and we don't lack it, so we gave it to them."
"Let's talk to them carefully. In the future, we will not participate in the distribution of the spoils from the war with the Japs. We will leave them all to them. We just need to kill more Japs!"
Xu Weixin saluted: "The department has remembered it and I will call you back now."
Li Mu nodded and watched Xu Weixin leave. After the battle of Lanfeng, he focused on the entrance of the garden. He had already sent people to monitor the relevant places. He ensured that if there was any trouble, he would discover it as soon as possible.
Moreover, in order to prevent the recurrence of the incident and the tragedy, Li Mu has cooperated with the north to spread rumors that the Japanese army had lost the battle and was going to bomb the levee.
If we do get to that point, we can evacuate the crowd in advance and save as many people as we can.
…
This time the Doi En Division has been completely wiped out. I wonder if things will come to that point.
The next main target of the Japanese army is Wuhan, and eastern Henan is only a secondary target. As long as the eastern part of Henan is defended and the small book is not given any chance to advance westward, and the hinterland of the Central Plains and Wuhan cannot be threatened from this direction, it is not impossible to avoid it. Purchase
The key lies in how to defend eastern Henan and not give the Japanese army a chance, nor give Guofu a chance to make mistakes.
If the small book is too far from the entrance to the garden, and there are Guofu guards nearby, there is no point in bombing it.
On the other side, Li Yunlong was overjoyed when he received the news that Li Mu did not want the loot, and all the loot was at their disposal.
He went to the brigade commander and said, "Brigade commander, look at this guy, he's so arrogant. He has so much equipment, and he doesn't want it even if he says he doesn't want it. If it were someone else, he wouldn't be heartbroken to death."
Brigadier Chen said: "They don't want it. It's because they are upright and upright and support our cause of the Anti-Japanese War. We must not be arrogant and complacent. In the future, we will kill more Japs. If they invite us over, we are here to kill the Japs, not to take the trophies."
Li Yunlong looked solemn and saluted: "I understand, brigade commander, I promise to kill more Japanese in the future."
Having said this, he leaned over and said with a smile: "Brigadier Commander, with so many trophies, we can't send them all back to the base area. Do we also need to strengthen the firepower of our troops..." Buy
The brigade commander glared at him: "Your current firepower is not strong. The original foreign ordnance of Yishui is much better than before. You are still worried about the weapons of the little devil."
Li Yunlong laughed and said, "Weapons! There's no such thing as too many."
He paused for a moment and said, "We don't want too many. We just need to keep the heavy machine guns and field artillery. It would be better if we can keep the twenty-odd tanks."
The brigade commander glared at him: "You have a good idea, but do you know the current situation in our base area? How many soldiers can't even get an old-fashioned rifle and are still using spears and knives; how many troops
Lacking heavy weapons, facing a small Japan, we can only pay for it with our lives."
"Sending these weapons back will increase the strength of the base area, and give us confidence to face the Japs. Our firepower is already good enough, and keeping these weapons here is just the icing on the cake. Only by sending them back can we have greater impact.
effect."
Li Yunlong naturally knows the situation in the base area. Compared with Li Mu who provides logistical supplies, everything there is too hard and everything is lacking. These weapons can indeed play a greater role if they are sent back.
He was very aware and immediately expressed his position: "Brigadier, you are right, I listen to you."
Brigadier Chen smiled and said: "Yes, I am aware. However, I will not send you all back. We still have a lot of wars to fight in the future, and we really need to strengthen our firepower."
"As for the heavy machine guns, you choose a few dozen to keep, and you choose twenty or thirty field guns to form an artillery battalion to prepare for the next battle."
"Leave the rest to the base area."
Li Yunlong's face lit up and he saluted: "Yes, Brigadier, I'll do it right away."
