Chapter 701: Asking for a lot of money and not paying back!
Most of the company commanders are eagerly waiting for the distribution of the spoils.
Neither the Sichuan Army Company nor the lieutenants of the original four infantry companies of the Independent Battalion cared much about the number of rifles.
In the battle of fishing for gold, not counting the baggage seized by Zhao Daqiang’s 4th Company, more than 1,300 usable and damaged but repairable Type 38 rifles, 18 intact Taisho 11 young machine guns, and 1,300 thrown
There are 30 cartridges, 5 Type 92 heavy machine guns, 4 intact 92 infantry guns, and 2 Type 41 mountain guns that are slightly damaged but can still be repaired and used.
There are 300 artillery shells of various types, 650 special grenades for grenades, more than 3,000 Japanese melon grenades, and more than 200,000 machine rifle bullets of various types.
If the baggage is added, 200 infantry artillery shells and 60 mountain artillery shells will be added, plus enough refined grain to feed 2,000 people for three days, and canned beef and fish to feed the independent battalion officers and soldiers present.
The child is round.
Machine guns glowed with a faint blue light in the dim firelight, especially the two mountain cannons and infantry cannons placed there. They looked so cute, if not for the large number of canned meats that Tang Dao distributed without hesitation.
Coming down, the officers and soldiers were filled with pleasure looking at the equipment.
Of course, the reason why a group of officers were drooling greedily when they saw the dazzling mountains of seizures was not just because they had captured enough Japanese equipment, but because they were really poor now.
For this battle, all combat units of the Independence Battalion spent a lot of money.
Li Jiujin's 2nd company and Zhao Daqiang's 4th company, two big losers, consumed more than 50,000 rounds of various bullets in this battle, as well as 1,000 grenades and 100 artillery shells. If you add in
The consumption of other troops is definitely a terrifying figure that can make a group army commander break out in cold sweat...
To put it bluntly, even if it is an ambush battle and the opponent is caught off guard, if you want to win and win at a smaller cost, you have to use ammunition to pile up.
Otherwise, we can only use human lives to pile up!
Tang Dao chose the former, not only because he was stingy in sacrifice, but more importantly because he was considered a rich man before the war and had the qualifications.
But the price is that when Tang Dao led an army of 3,000 to defeat the 36th Infantry Brigade, kill the 6th Heavy Artillery Brigade and split up with the 67th Army, he poached Comrade Lao Wu from him.
The battle is basically exhausted.
My family knew about their own affairs, and the bosses were all poor. Naturally, these lieutenants eagerly gathered around to capture them, hoping to replenish their infantry company first.
After all, there is still a fierce battle over there in Qinglongling Village, and the battle is going to continue, maybe this very night.
Li Jijin and Zhao Daqiang were squatting together, each holding a Japanese cigarette stolen from Little Potato, their eyes staring with blue light at the various equipment that had been moved and piled up by the soldiers.
"Da Qiang, how do you plan to ask your superiors for equipment? There is so much food for everyone! Look at those guys, they are all staring at you!" Li Jijin spit out blue smoke and asked seemingly casually.
"Listen to the commander! You can divide them however he says, but you can't treat me badly, as an infantry company who has just achieved first-class merit!" Zhao Daqiang replied angrily with no expression on his simple face.
"Damn it, the more honest you are on the face, the more evil you are!" Li Jiujin quietly rolled his eyes in the shadow of the fire and complained secretly in his heart.
Zhao Daqiang answered like a thief, he would listen to Tang Dao in everything, but he had a first-class body protection skill, so he was not worried at all, and he also rejected Li Jijin's little idea in disguise that he wanted him to take the lead in getting the equipment.
When Li Jijin saw that Zhao Daqiang was not instigated by him, and Leng Feng was not around, Qian Dazhu was too young and not thick-skinned enough, so he had no choice but to take action himself.
Potato curled his fingers in pain.
Tudou and Li Jijin, the company commander, had known each other during the battle of Jiepai Village. They were deeply impressed by Lao Li who calmly commanded the battle. Naturally, Lao Li must be one of the recruits Danzi's admirers.
However, to the surprise of recruit Danzi, the first thing he did when they reunited on the battlefield was that the idol blackmailed him into giving him a cigarette.
Of course a cigarette is nothing, but it is the food he prepared for the two wounded soldiers Wei Donglai and Cai Yongguan. The brothers in his infantry squad were so hungry that he only took one cigarette for each of them.
If possible, Tudou would rather never meet this infantry company commander with outstanding military exploits.
At this moment, he even raised his fingers at himself to let him pass. Tudou instinctively felt that something was wrong.
It's a pity that Li Jijin is the company commander. How can he, a small soldier who has not yet worn the rank of sergeant and corporal, pretend not to know when he sees it? He can only bite the bullet and walk over.
"Little guy, lend me a few more cigarettes! Don't worry, if you miss today, I'll give you two packs back!" Li Jijin lowered his voice with a smile on his face.
"Captain Li, can I say no?" Tudou said with a bitter face, swallowed hard, and answered cautiously.
"What do you think?" The smile on Lao Li's face did not diminish. "Don't let me be stingy, baby. Your Seventh Company will definitely be rebuilt in the future. You have to think about it. I, Li Jiujin, don't have anything else, but
We have a lot of elite soldiers in our hands."
"Here you go, Chief Li, please don't keep your word." Upon hearing this, Doudou took out all the cigarettes in his pocket and put them in Li Jijin's hand without thinking. The title also changed from the slightly unfamiliar Li Company Commander to Li Li.
Sir.
The new recruit Danzi has only been in the army for more than half a year, but after fighting in several battles, he has learned a lot about the world. He knows that for the two company commanders lying on the hospital bed, compared to tobacco, which can make people drive away worries and sorrows, it is really
What can solve their two worries is actually how to rebuild the infantry company in the future.
The two infantry companies were almost wiped out. Apart from him, a lively soldier, there were only dozens of severely wounded soldiers lying on beds. Even if they had recovered from their injuries, more than half of the dozens of severely wounded soldiers missing arms and legs were still alive.
After leaving the army, how can there be only a dozen people left to support two infantry companies?
If you want to quickly form combat effectiveness, you must draw veterans from other infantry companies.
But during the war, would the company commander be willing to poach soldiers from that infantry company? Li Jiujin's promise could be said to have struck a chord deep in Tudou's mind.
Not to mention a pack of cigarettes, even if it takes his life, he won't hesitate.
Zhao Daqiang could only be dumbfounded when he saw Li Jijin proudly walking towards the giants of the independent battalion over there with a pack of cigarettes that he had risked withholding one month's military pay as a reward to the soldiers.
Ginger has to be aged to become spicier, and Li Jiujin perfectly explained this truth.
Tudou is really too persistent. In fact, even if he doesn't give Lao Li this pack of cigarettes, if Tang Dao gives an order in the future and each company sends veterans to support the 7th company and the 9th company is rebuilt, can he, Lao Li, still disobey the military order?
Li Jiujin knew this very well, but Tudou couldn't see the truth clearly.
Li Jijin took the cigarettes he got from Tudou. Naturally, he didn't keep them to himself. He got them by asking for directions.
"Three officers, you see there is still a battle ahead. Our infantry companies have suffered huge losses. Do you want to replenish us with some ammunition first? Although the Japanese grenades are not very powerful, our company is seriously short of grenades. Our 2nd company also has a serious shortage of grenades.
If you're not greedy, just come up with 1,000." Li Jijin handed a cigarette to Tang Dao, Lei Xiong, and Guo Shouzhi who were all talking together. When he saw that the three of them were smiling and starting to puff out smoke, he started
Made a request.
"Ahem!" Guo Shouzhi almost choked on a puff of cigarette.
As soon as they saw this fat-faced company commander approaching him, smoking and lighting a fire, he was very attentive. From Tang Dao to Lei Xiong to Guo Shouzhi, no one knew what this guy was up to?
But this guy can pack 1,000 Japanese grenades in one mouth, which is still far beyond Deputy Battalion Commander Guo's imagination.
Why, your infantry company with hundreds of signalmen has to hang a thousand grenades, with an average of eight or nine grenades on each soldier. Do you think you are a melon or a vine?
Compared to Guo Shouzhi, Tang Dao and Lei Xiong were obviously much calmer.
Based on what they knew about Li Jiujin, it was just an old trick of asking for a huge amount of money and then paying it back on the spot. He wanted 1,000 grenades, and even if you gave him a 50% discount, he would be so happy that his big yellow teeth would fall off the floor.
"Okay! 1,000 grenades, right? Here you go, not only that, but also the captured light machine guns, 8 batteries, 3 heavy machine guns, and 50,000 rounds of various machine rifle bullets. If you think it's not enough, give you more
You will bring 10 grenade launchers and 400 rounds of grenades in a row!" Tang Dao nodded. Not only was there no counteroffer as Li Jijin had imagined, but he also increased the offer.
There is a feeling that your 2nd Company is the sharpest knife in the independent battalion. Not to mention using thousands of Japanese grenades to hang the soldiers into melons and vines, this is completely to arm the 2nd Company into a mobile arsenal.
"Ahem!" This time it was Li Jijin's turn to choke.
