The reason Zhang Dabiao told Li Yunlong was because he was a little embarrassed. Although he was also very thoughtful, compared with Li Yunlong, he was still a standard honest person. Li Yunlong was embarrassed to speak, and he was even more embarrassed to open his mouth.
.
Regarding that armored unit, Li Yunlong and Zhang Dabiao were very itchy, and they were both thinking about how to ask Xu Dalong for it. For a moment, everyone fell into silence.
Zhao Gang had been with these two guys for a long time and knew what they were thinking. He smiled and said: "Don't worry, Xu Dalong is a person who knows the general situation. He will definitely hand over some of the equipment without you asking.
of."
As soon as Zhao Gang finished speaking, the communications staff sent a telegram. He said happily: "Commissioner, Commissioner Zheng, this is a telegram from Captain Xu."
Li Yunlong grabbed the telegram, laughed loudly after reading it, and said: "This guy Dalong is really interesting. He really sent us equipment for a chariot battalion."
After reading it, Zhang Dabiao said: "Brother Dalong is such a good friend. In addition to tanks and armored vehicles, he also sent us so many things."
Zhao Gang smiled and said: "You two, don't be too happy. Whether these equipment can be kept in our hands is still a matter of debate."
Li Yunlong said unhappily: "Old Zhao, you are just a crow's mouth. What you said today is annoying."
Zhang Dabiao also smiled and said: "Yes, political commissar, what you said today is indeed not very pleasant."
Zhao Gang said: "Xu Dalong and the others took the initiative to send us so much equipment and supplies. Look, we also took the initiative to hand over part of it to the brigade headquarters, so that we wouldn't be able to keep much if the brigade commander asked us for it.
"
Li Yunlong came to his senses. He knew the brigade commander too well and said, "Old Zhao, you are right. I see, we will hand over one-third of the equipment and 10,000 yuan to the brigade headquarters. Old Zhao,
You'd better go to the brigade headquarters in person about this matter and take the initiative to report the matter to the brigade commander. The brigade commander has always been rude to me and asked for things, so he would be a little embarrassed in front of you."
Zhao Gang smiled and said, "Okay. Once Xu Dalong and the others deliver the supplies, I will report to the brigade headquarters."
Soon after, tanks, armored vehicles and other supplies were delivered to the independent regiment. Zhao Gang asked Wei Monk, Cui Zhenyue and others to drive two tanks, twelve armored vehicles, six motorcycles and the three cars, with 10,000
Dayang, go to the brigade.
After Zhao Gang met with the brigade commander, he was thinking about how he could negotiate terms with the brigade commander if he didn't agree to just hand over these supplies.
Unexpectedly, the brigade commander left the three cars, motorcycles and oceans behind. He said to Zhao Gang: "Drive all those tanks and armored vehicles back. I have already reported to the division commander and agreed to form a tank battalion in your independent regiment.
.”
Zhao Gang was overjoyed after hearing this and expressed his gratitude to the brigade commander repeatedly.
Why did the brigade commander arrange this? It turns out he had his own plan.
The brigade commander originally wanted to set up a tank battalion at the brigade headquarters, but later he felt it was too troublesome, because although these tanks are convenient to use, maintenance is not easy, especially since they are big oil drinkers.
It was very valuable, and the Eighth Route Army itself could not supply it, so it had to steal it from the Japanese. It was very difficult to replenish it.
The brigade commander doesn't want to worry about these trivial things. If the independent regiment wants it, then give it to them and leave these troublesome things to them. Anyway, when the war breaks out, the brigade headquarters can mobilize this tank battalion to participate in the war, and directly belong to the brigade.
Compared with department management, there is no difference.
The brigade commander planned very carefully and threw this hot potato to the independent group, but Li Yunlong, Zhang Dabiao and others were extremely excited.
They asked Cui Zhenyue to leave some technical backbone to train the tank battalion.
Xu Dalong had already explained that Cui Zhenyue had left a squad leader and several technical backbones in the independent regiment.
Since the independent regiment had a chariot battalion, Li Yunlong felt that his waist had become stronger. When he went to the brigade headquarters for a meeting, he saw the envy of other regiment commanders, and his face was filled with a proud smile.
Although the group leaders couldn't stand Li Yunlong's face, they were convinced in their hearts. They had no choice but to let Xu Dalong and his guerrillas under the Independent Group continue to hand over supplies, and they could only watch with envy.
Not long after Li Yunlong and Zhang Dabiao were happy, they began to feel a headache.
The technical backbone Cui Zhenyue left behind helped the Independent Regiment train armored soldiers. They worked very hard, and the soldiers of the Independent Regiment also studied very seriously. However, tanks and armored vehicles need fuel to operate. Xu Dalong gave them a fuel tanker.
It was indeed full of gasoline, but this amount of gasoline could not withstand consumption. Soon the tanker was empty, and the tanks and armored vehicles were all lying down.
Li Yunlong, Zhao Gang and Zhang Dabiao finally understood why the brigade commander did not want these tanks and armored vehicles and generously gave them to the independent regiment. It turned out that these tanks and armored vehicles were really difficult to maintain. The brigade commander was really too shrewd.
Return this hot potato to the independent group.
Nowadays, the independent regiment is riding a tiger south. If it cannot handle these tanks and armored vehicles, it will be laughed at by other regiments.
Li Yunlong was a man who wanted to save face, so he issued an order to the entire regiment, asking them to go out to fight. The key point was to get the gasoline back.
Compared to the independent group, Xu Dalong has many more ways to make money.
Li Kun and Chu Yunfei were both able to provide him. In addition, Xu Dalong also thought of a friend he made.
Yan Jiaju, commander of the Automobile Battalion of the Logistics Department of the Jinsui Army, liked Xu Dalong very much and felt very proud to have such a friend. He kept hearing that Xu Dalong and the others were making all kinds of noises, and he felt very happy for Xu Dalong.
.
This morning, Xu Dalong sent someone, and it was Wang Xiaohu, a close confidant of Xu Dalong.
Yan Jiaju felt that he had a close relationship with Xu Dalong, so he also imitated Xu Dalong's tone and called Wang Xiaohu. He said: "Brother Huzi, how is he, your captain? When you see him again, tell him that I will invite him over for a drink when you have time."
"
Wang Xiaohu said: Sir, Brother Dalong is always thinking about you. This time he sent me to visit you and asked me to bring you some gifts."
With that said, Wang Xiaohu handed a leather bag to Yan Jiaju.
Yan Jiaju opened it and saw five large yellow croakers inside.
He smiled and said: "Brother Huzi, tell me, what do you need my help with?"
Wang Xiaohu said: "Our guerrillas seized a lot of tanks and armored vehicles and formed a tank unit. This guy drinks oil badly. Our captain said you are his best brother and I hope you can help solve the oil problem.
.”
Yan Jiaju patted his chest and said: "No problem, you go back and tell your captain that I will send you three cans of gasoline every month. If you want to go out to fight, I can temporarily get some for you."
Wang Xiaohu said happily: "Our captain is good at judging people. He said you are a cheerful person, and it turned out to be true when I saw you today. Our captain said that when you send fuel to the guerrillas, I hope you can follow the car in person.
Come here, our captain will treat you to a drink."
Yan Jiaju said happily: "Of course. I'll make arrangements and send the oil to you tomorrow. I'll go with you to your guerrilla unit and see your captain."
Daliu Shu Village.
Chu Yunfei heard that Xu Dalong and the others had captured a large number of tanks and armored vehicles, so he sent a telegram to Xu Dalong, hoping that they would cooperate with the 358th Brigade to attack Dongxiang County.
Xu Dalong was thinking about going out to practice military training, so he agreed wholeheartedly.
He asked Sun Desheng to lead the comprehensive tank squadron and four cavalry squadrons to Xinhe County.
Chu Yunfei led the main force of the 358th Brigade to attack Dongxiang County with the cooperation of the Mawushan guerrillas.
After receiving the report, Chiba Xunyi knew that the Japanese troops in Dongxiang County were no match for Chu Yunfei and Xu Dalong, so he immediately ordered the commander of the 81st Regiment of the Japanese Army stationed in Dongxiang County to lead his troops to abandon the county and flee to Yinping County.
.
Chu Yunfei became more courageous with such a powerful backer as the Mawushan guerrillas. This time he simply sent troops to occupy Juma County and Dongxiang County and refused to withdraw.
Chu Yunfei now controlled three counties, recruiting troops and increasing his strength. The King of Shanxi was very happy when he heard about it, and specially provided a batch of artillery for Chu Yunfei's 358th Brigade from the arsenal, giving Chu Yunfei two men.
An artillery battalion.
The 358th Brigade occupied three county towns, and Xu Dalong was very happy. These three county towns not only became a barrier to the southwest of the Mawu Mountain base, but their large population also provided a market for the coal produced by the Mawu Mountain guerrillas.
The guerrillas added a lot of income.
Xu Dalong sent a telegram to Chu Yunfei, and sent Wang Xiaohu to go to Xinhe County in person to discuss with Chu Yunfei that from now on, these three counties would all use coal from Mawu Mountain, and both sides would split the profits 30/70.
Although Chu Yunfei only got 30%, but now that his family has a big business, he needs money so much. This 30% can also solve a lot of difficulties for him.
The two sides quickly signed an agreement. From then on, the Mawushan guerrillas' transport fleet traveled to and from the base and various counties every day, delivering coal and purchasing various living supplies. The living conditions of the guerrillas were greatly improved.
The situation in the Mawushan base area is similar to that of the 358th Brigade, which requires a lot of funds. Now that he has a stable source of income, Xu Dalong's pressure is much less.
During this period, the Mawushan guerrillas sent a large number of small teams to move around, destroying the basic Japanese and puppet organizations and expanding their base areas, but the Japanese and puppet troops had not taken any action.
This made Xu Dalong a little confused and felt that it was a little too smooth. He ordered Zheng Xirong to closely monitor the movements of the Japanese army to see what conspiracy they were playing.
Soon after, news came from the Lingao City Intelligence Station. The news was provided by Takahashi Soldier Wei, saying that the Japanese army had specially transferred a batch of 23mm rapid-fire cannons from the North China Front Army Headquarters in order to deal with the Mawushan guerrilla tank troops.
This kind of rapid-fire gun is actually a type of machine gun. It can be used both at high and low levels. The rate of fire can reach 24 rounds per minute. The artillery shells use armor-piercing shells, which have armor-piercing capabilities. They can fly aircraft and penetrate the armored vehicles of the Mawushan guerrillas.
In addition to the turret, even tanks and other weak parts such as fuel tanks cannot withstand the blows of rapid-fire cannons.
This is really bad news. If the Japanese army has a large number of such weapons, the Mawushan guerrilla tank unit will become a living target.
