When Li Yunlong led the guard company to find the supply box, he was surprised to find that the people from the seventh company had already opened the wooden box and were happily moving things out.
The soldiers roared one by one, not to mention how happy they were:
"Company Commander...this is the cannon, the devil's 'ghost cannon'!"
"Company commander, this box is full of bullets, at least tens of thousands of rounds!"
"This box is full of grenades. They are all Japanese melon-shaped grenades!"
…
"Ghost artillery" is the Eighth Route Army's name for the Japanese Type 92 infantry artillery. It is also called mountain artillery.
The reason why it is called "ghost cannon" is not because it is a cannon used by the devils, but because this kind of cannon has a low body and is easy to hide. When it is fired, you can only hear the sound but not the cannon. It is like making a ghost sound out of thin air.
Sounds like a scream.
The bullets are packed in wooden boxes and wrapped in moisture-proof oil paper. There are small packages and small packages. When you open them, they are all yellow and shiny original bullets.
Li Yunlong was stunned when he saw it. Is there anyone who can run faster than them? Is this a rabbit or something?
Just when he was confused, Wu Lei came up to him with a smile: "Captain, you're here just in time! We have seized a lot of things just now. We haven't had time to count them yet, but at least there are tens of thousands of rounds of ammunition and thousands of grenades.
, there are also two 'ghost cannons' plus fifty rounds of shells..."
"Stop, stop!" Li Yunlong's eyes widened: "I'm talking about stones, don't talk too much. What do you call seizure? Everyone saw this falling from the sky, can this be called seizure? Do you want to make a fortune?
You’re going crazy!”
Wu Lei was not in a hurry. He smiled and took out a Japanese plaster flag, flashed it in front of Li Yunlong, and said, "Commander, what do you think this is?"
Li Yunlong was happy when he saw it: "What are you doing with this? Use this thing to surrender. Can the Japanese recognize it?"
The guards around Li Yunlong also laughed.
Wu Lei is not angry either. He just got so many treasures, how can he still be on the same level as people like Li Yunlong!
He calmly took the flag and explained: "Captain, don't underestimate this thing. I'll hold this flag and wave it to the sky a few times..."
After saying that, he really picked up the flag and waved it twice. While waving it, he said calmly: "Then the devil can throw these supplies to us? Then it will be thrown into the hands of the devil in Xuequyu Village!"
Then Wu Lei withdrew the flag and thrust it in front of Li Yunlong. He shook his hands and said in an awesome voice: "Captain, please give me an explanation! Does this count as a meritorious service? Does it count as a seizure? Should these supplies belong to us?"
Even?"
Li Yunlong was stunned for a moment, and then he immediately understood what was going on.
After thinking about it, he, who had just been boasting and glaring, immediately laughed "hehehehe": "Forget it, of course, I, Li Yunlong, spit and nail, and I always mean what I say!"
Then the conversation changed, and he invited Wu Lei's shoulder like a buddy: "But then again, the Seventh Company Commander...this is tens of thousands of bullets and thousands of grenades. Our army is fighting the Japanese in a fierce battle. This is exactly what we need."
When is the time for ammunition! And you..."
"No problem!" Wu Lei had already thought about what to say: "Commander, I, Wu Lei, am not the kind of person who hides personal secrets. If the army wants to use this batch of ammunition to fight the Japanese, I must support it. The regiment just opened my mouth.
Can you agree? But the leader... I have a request, let us Seventh Company go up and fight for a while, is that okay? Our Seventh Company promises not to embarrass the leader!"
"No problem, no problem!" Li Yunlong said with a "hehe" smile: "Of course there is no problem, isn't it just a war? It doesn't matter who goes up there, so let's do it!"
Li Yunlong turned around and said to the guard with a dark face: "Call that little Northeast!"
Soon Xiao Dongbei appeared again at the regiment headquarters... At this time, the regiment headquarters had undergone some changes. It was just a trench before, but now it has been covered with a layer of logs and some soil, presumably to protect against artillery shells.
.
As soon as Li Yunlong saw Xiao Dongbei, he scolded him with a black face:
"Damn it, it must have been your kid's idea to trick the Japanese into airdropping, right?"
"You kid can do it! You hide such a good idea and don't tell me, but you have to go back and tell that stone!"
"It's better now, that damn rock is sitting on my head!"
"You just want to see me make a fool of myself, right?"
…
Wang Xuexin explained: "Captain, this is also a temporary idea. I am a soldier of the Seventh Company. If I don't report to the company commander, who else can I report to?"
Li Yunlong was choked immediately.
Wang Xuexin's words were indeed correct. If he reported directly to Li Yunlong, it would be a violation of discipline and an over-level report, unless Li Yunlong directly approached Wang Xuexin.
Zhao Gang laughed "haha", and tapped Li Yunlong in the air with his finger a few times: "Actually, after all, it was all the fault of the 'whoever seizes it belongs to him' rule you established. Now that it's better, people will
I’m taking advantage of this to negotiate terms with you, let’s see what else you can do!”
"What should I do?" Li Yunlong's eyes widened and he replied: "Is he the leader or am I? If I want to say 'no', what else can I do with his rock?"
Zhao Gang chuckled and didn't reply.
Although Li Yunlong's words are correct, as the saying goes, military orders are like mountains, and no rules are as big as military orders.
The problem is that Li Yunlong is most afraid of others saying that he has no credibility. This Li Yunlong can even be said to run the army more with Jianghu loyalty rather than military orders and discipline.
What's more, the rule of "whoever seizes it belongs to whom" has been used until now without any problems, and if there are any problems, they are just minor problems.
If this precedent is broken today, will other troops in the independent regiment not follow this rule in the future?
Will the independent group become unruly or will it return to being handed over uniformly and distributed as needed?
If we really do this, the Independent Group will no longer be called the Independent Group, and Li Yunlong will no longer be called Li Yunlong!
"Captain." Wang Xue asked doubtfully, "Didn't you just send the Seventh Company to fight? What's the point?"
Zhao Gang explained: "Comrade Wang Xuexin, after the First World War in Lijiapo, in order to ensure the combat effectiveness of the First Battalion, we transferred many veterans from the Third Battalion to the First Battalion. Now most of the Third Battalion are new soldiers, and even the veterans are retired wounded soldiers. In this way
If you don’t have enough combat power to fight the Japanese head-on... there may be huge casualties!"
When Wang Xuexin thought about it, it was true that two of his three classes were new recruits, and even though there were veterans in one class, several of them were still injured and had not fully recovered.
After thinking about it, Wang Xuexin said: "Commander, I don't see any problem. Think about it, the Japanese only air-drop bullets and grenades, so why do they need to air-drop infantry artillery?"
"The Japanese are short of artillery!" Li Yunlong answered without thinking.
"Yes, the Japs are short of artillery!" Wang Xuexin analyzed: "The Japs' infantry artillery is used to deal with the 91st Regiment. This shows that the Japs are almost unable to withstand the 91st Regiment!"
"That's also a matter with the 91st Regiment. What does it have to do with us?" Li Yunlong replied angrily.
"How can it be okay?" Wang Xuexin explained: "This means that all the heavy equipment of the Japs is with the 91st Regiment. If we suddenly have two cannons bombarding us and the Japs' cantaloupe grenades are pushed forward..."
Hearing this, Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang couldn't help but be stunned. The previous confrontation between the Independent Regiment and the Japanese was in a stalemate in the village. A large part of the reason was that the grenades were inferior to the Japanese. If the Japanese's melon-type grenades were used and there were thousands of them,
, can you pile them up in one go without catching the Japanese off guard and causing chaos?
If the Japs can't stand it, then the Seventh Company will not fight head-on with the Japs, but will share a piece of meat and eat it.
