A flash of embarrassment quickly flashed across Li Hao's face, and then he replied: "It is true that our independent camp has almost sold out all the piglets and chickens in Lingqiu, but we can buy them from surrounding counties, and we have also contacted many businessmen from
Places further away offer us high prices to buy them!”
"My temporary idea is that the pig farm will have more than 500 pigs and the airport will have more than 5,000 chickens! Then it will continue to expand!"
There was a sweet potato flour factory with an annual revenue of tens of thousands of yuan, and now when he heard about chicken farms and pig farms, the commander was obviously much calmer!
He replied with a serious face: "You develop it first, and I will see the results in a few months!"
"As long as I can make money, I will report it to the military region as soon as possible to ask for your credit!"
Li Hao quickly replied: "Thank you, Commander, I promise to live up to your expectations, Commander!"
The commander nodded and continued: "I didn't expect that your boy is not only good at fighting, but also good at economics and making money. It's so surprising!"
"However, making money is making money, and you can't relax in the army!"
"The Independent Battalion played an important role in this counter-mopping operation and showed a very strong combat effectiveness. Now more than a month has passed. Tell us whether the combat effectiveness of the troops has been weakened due to the expansion of the army, what the equipment is like, and the construction of the base area! Let us know!
"
"Yes, Commander!" Li Hao replied quickly.
"After expansion, the independent battalion currently has three main companies, an independent company, a guard company, a mountain artillery company, a cavalry company, a baggage company, a recruit company, an engineer platoon, a reconnaissance platoon, and a communications platoon...
…The total strength exceeds 1,500 people!”
"Because the army has replenished a large number of new recruits, and even the proportion of new recruits in the main company exceeds 80%, so it is still very poor!"
"However, our training is very intensive, and the combat effectiveness of the troops is improving every day. Each company can regain its combat effectiveness within a month at most!"
The commander's brows immediately frowned.
The idea in his mind was the same as Watanabe's, that the independent battalion was expanding too fast.
With a worried look on his face, he reminded: "There are too many new recruits, and the army cannot form combat effectiveness as soon as possible. If the Japanese suddenly send troops to attack you during the more than a month of recovery of the army, what will you do to fight the Japanese?"
"Comrade Li Hao, you are too impulsive in this regard. You should not recruit so many recruits at once!"
Li Hao answered confidently: "Commander, don't worry, I have thought about these issues!"
"Let's not mention that the little devils in Lingqiu City don't have the strength to attack us now. Even if they do, and if they send troops now, I have a way to deal with them!"
"Although the troops have poor combat effectiveness and are not suitable for the battlefield, we can make up for it with equipment!"
"Each platoon in the independent battalion has a fire squad, equipped with two crooked handles and one grenade launcher. Adding in the company's directly affiliated security squad, a company has seven crooked handles and seven grenade launchers."
"In addition, each company also has a fire platoon, equipped with two heavy machine guns and two mortars!"
"Even if our company's combat effectiveness is very poor, with those light and heavy machine guns, grenade launchers, and mortars, we can still hold on to half a squadron of Japanese troops without any problem!"
"There are five companies like this in our independent battalion."
"If you add the six mountain cannons to the mountain cannon, I won't be afraid if the Japanese can kill three squadrons at once!"
"Hiss, hiss..."
Before the commander could react from the shock, the chief of staff had already taken a breath.
Then he exclaimed: "I will see you with admiration after three days of separation!"
"Comrade Li Hao, the Independent Battalion is now a real landlord and rich man!"
"The platoon is equipped with light machine guns and grenade launchers, the company is equipped with heavy machine guns and mortars, and the battalion is equipped with mountain artillery. Not to mention our Eighth Route Army, even in Chongqing, we may not be able to find such luxuriously equipped troops!"
"If you don't have enough combat power, you'll have to equip yourself with equipment. That's a good saying!"
The commander said: "The troops have not yet formed combat effectiveness. With such good equipment, the independent battalion can resist three Japanese squadrons!"
"When all the troops have become combat effective, the independent battalion cannot easily resist the Japanese infantry brigade!"
Li Hao replied unceremoniously: "Of course you can!"
"Okay, you have the courage!" The commander also showed a satisfied smile on his face!
"I have never seen such a well-equipped unit. It seems that Comrade Li Hao is forcing me to go to your independent camp!"
"The chief of staff is absolutely right. Your independent battalion is the real landlord and rich man. It needs people, equipment, and money!"
"In this case, you go back first, and I will definitely make time to visit you in half a month at most!"
Li Hao quickly replied: "Commander, don't worry, the Independent Battalion and his team will definitely not let you down!"
At the Hongquan Village Independent Camp Headquarters, Li Hao had just returned from leading the team. Before he could take a breath, instructor Wang Hong asked.
"Batalion Commander, what did the commander say?"
Li Hao knew what Wang Hong was asking and immediately replied: "I agree!"
"If nothing else happens, within half a month at most, the sweet potato powder will be well-known in the military base area!"
"What we need to do now is to further expand production. If ten sweet potato flour factories are not enough, we will expand to twenty. There are so many counties around Lingqiu, and if the people have at least five to six hundred thousand, they will definitely be able to sell!"
"Great!" Wang Hong exclaimed excitedly.
It seems that he has seen a lot of ocean waving to him again, his eyes are shining.
Li Hao continued: "In addition, the commander decided to come to our independent camp within half a month!"
"There are so many people in our independent battalion. Except for the chief of staff of the military division, everyone has seen it, and only a few people have seen the commander!"
“I’d just like to take this opportunity for everyone to meet the commander!”
Wang Hong widened his eyes and asked, "Commander is coming?"
Li Hao hesitated for a moment and then confirmed: "In addition to inspecting our independent camp, we also need to inspect the sweet potato flour factory!"
Wang Hong immediately understood: "Captain, are the superiors going to take away the sweet potato flour factory from us?"
Seeing Li Hao nodding, the excitement just now disappeared, and he replied with a long sigh: "I know that the superiors can't let our independent operation manage the sweet potato flour factory all the time. The profit is too big, and we can't swallow it if we don't.
Even the military division may not be able to swallow this piece of cake, I should have thought of it a long time ago!"
Li Hao comforted him: "Instructor, don't worry, such a large-scale sweet potato flour factory was established by us. We will never make wedding clothes for our superiors in vain!"
Wang Hong's face immediately lit up with hope: "Batalion Commander, what do you mean?"
"First-come-first-served basis in the building close to the water. The sweet potato flour factory is so large, and it is located in our independent camp. Even if we leave some soup residue every day, it is enough for our independent camp."
"And I'm sure that the benefits our independent camp will get from the sweet potato flour factory will not only be the soup residue!"
"Taking a step back, we can't even drink the soup. The residue filtered out by the sweet potato flour factory every day is a huge wealth!"
"With these residues, the food saved by pig and chicken farms every day is no less than the soup residue!"
Wang Hong's face finally looked better, and he took a long breath and replied: "Batalion Commander, I listen to you!"
At this moment, Li Hao changed the topic and said: "Instructor, don't worry, as long as I am still the commander of the independent battalion, I will definitely not let everyone suffer!"
"In addition, if the superiors don't take over the sweet potato flour factory for one day, then these are our own things to run independently!"
"Order the sweet potato flour factory to speed up its expansion. If the factory building is not enough, recruit enough manpower first. Concentrate it in the existing factory and produce sweet potato flour in shifts around the clock!"
"I want to make a lot of money before my superiors take over the sweet potato flour factory!"
