Chapter 15: Troops Prepare to Expand
Everyone burst into laughter after hearing what Li Yunlong said.
After everyone distributed some supplies such as bedding and clothing, they dispersed.
The battle had just ended and each unit still had a lot of things to deal with.
What's more, the troops will be expanded soon, and there will be more things to do.
Naturally, there is no time to chat in the regiment headquarters.
After everyone left, Qin Yangming handed the training plan he had prepared long ago to Li Yunlong.
"Captain, this is the training plan I came up with.
Specially used to train new soldiers.
If you go to the brigade headquarters, please give it to the brigade commander for me."
Li Yunlong's eyes lit up when he heard Qin Yangming's words.
"Good boy, this is how the new recruits in your class are trained.
"My goodness, those new recruits are even more powerful than some of the veterans."
When attacking the stronghold, Li Yunlong was also surprised to see the fighting effectiveness of the new recruits he received from Qin Yangming.
Under the leadership of three veterans, the twelve new recruits were able to fight with a dozen Japanese devils with bayonets without being at a disadvantage.
During the close combat in this battle, there were many new recruits from other battalions and companies who fought two or three against one Japanese soldier.
Even so, many people were injured or even sacrificed.
In Qin Yangming's class, there was only one unlucky guy whose arm was pierced by a stray bullet.
This shows how strong these soldiers are in combat.
Qin Yangming listened to Li Yunlong's question and nodded.
"Well, this is the training plan I came up with while I was recuperating in Duanjiaao."
"Captain, you have also seen the fighting power of my squad of new recruits."
"Of course I have seen it.
A squad can be equipped with a light machine gun and a grenade launcher.
This is the first time I have seen a squad so well-equipped.”
Li Yunlong's tone was inexplicably sour.
When his new regiment was first formed, it didn't even have a light machine gun.
Qin Yangming's squad can be equipped with a light machine gun.
How could he not be envious?
“Wait a minute, you said this was the training outline you came up with while you were recovering from your injury?
When were you injured?"
“Of course it was the last sweep?
Captain, don’t you know?
My soldiers were trained according to this plan for a month."
As if he was afraid that Li Yunlong didn't take it seriously enough, Qin Yangming quickly spoke up to remind him.
“The full training period is three months.
Of course, if there is enough food, two months is not impossible."
Li Yunlong was not paying attention to the training plan, but was thinking about something else.
"Little bastard, didn't you come directly from the 772nd Regiment?"
“Why didn’t I come directly from the 772nd Regiment?
Captain, what do you want to ask?"
"No, I mean, did you come from the base of the 772nd Regiment?"
“Please, Captain, I was injured during the last raid.
I have been recuperating at my fellow villager’s home.”
"What about the reinforcement platoon you brought with you?"
“I pulled it up myself.
There were more than 20 veterans who were recovering from injuries at a fellow villager's home like me.
The others are all new recruits, and their equipment was taken from the Japanese by me and my team.
Captain, what's wrong? Is there anyone with a problem?
Captain, I assure you that there will be absolutely no problem with the new soldiers I recruited."
“No, no, no, I didn’t say that.
I just wanted to check the training schedule for your soldiers."
I saw Qin Yangming changed the topic to somewhere else.
Li Yunlong quickly interrupted and waved his hand.
"Okay, take your weapons and equipment and leave.
I will also report to the brigade commander."
When the confused Qin Yangming left the regiment headquarters, Li Yunlong burst into laughter.
Zhong Zhicheng, who had just distributed supplies to everyone, couldn't help but laugh when he saw Li Yunlong smiling so happily.
"Captain, what happened to make you so happy?"
"Hahaha, how can I not be happy?
That blind guy Cheng gave me a big gift."
Then he told Zhong Zhicheng the true situation of Qin Yangming.
"I'm afraid that Captain Cheng himself didn't expect that among the wounded he sent over there would be such a ruthless person."
"Humph, I'm afraid he doesn't want to send anyone over at all.
It was only because of the order from the brigade that they sent some wounded soldiers to me!"
"Those ten repaired old sockets he sent over yesterday were probably sent over because of my phone call."
The shrewd Li Yunlong combined his own actions with his understanding of Blind Cheng.
I immediately understood that Blind Cheng probably didn't know how powerful Qin Yangming was. After all, Blind Cheng's 772nd Regiment was a legitimate main force.
No transfer is allowed without orders.
Blind Cheng doesn't have the guts to privately transfer troops to make extra money.
He thought yesterday that Blind Cheng had changed his personality and actually learned to make extra money secretly.
After that, he handed over the security of the regiment headquarters to Zhang Dabiao.
Li Yunlong rushed to the brigade headquarters with his guard Hu Zi and the prepared equipment.
At this moment in the brigade headquarters, the brigade commander, wearing a single piece of clothing and leather boots, was looking at the combat intelligence of the New 1st Regiment sent by his subordinates.
"Li Yunlong is a very capable guy.
It’s only been a few days and the new group is howling like wolf cubs.”
The brigade political commissar nearby also echoed.
"That's right, Li Yunlong is quite good at fighting.
He is also good at making equipment, but his personality is a little hard to describe. "
The brigade commander put down the information and said with a smile.
"This kid is just a donkey who follows the way things go.
It would be fine if you followed his temper.
Once things go wrong, he will kick you in the face immediately."
“Hahaha, this guy is the same as before.
He is still a fool, and his mind is not flexible. "
"Well, it's about time.
Come on, tell the kitchen staff to prepare some good food for me.
I bet Li Yunlong will ask me to buy him a drink later."
"Brigade Commander, from what you said, Li Yunlong will come to the brigade headquarters?"
“I will definitely come!”
The brigade commander's tone was extremely affirmative.
"His new group has made such a big move,
He will definitely come to the brigade headquarters to make a report and take credit for it.
And they will send us some spoils of war.”
The political commissar listened to the brigade commander's words with some disbelief.
"Brigade Commander, if you say Li Yunlong will come to claim credit, I believe it.
But given his Pixiu-like character, he will send the spoils over.
This is a bit far-fetched.”
"Hehe, do you think he's willing to give it to you?"
"This kid has more tricks up his sleeve than anyone else.
Look at this. "
The brigade commander handed the intelligence to the political commissar and motioned for him to take a look.
"Wow! Three Type 92 infantry guns and a mountain gun!"
The political commissar read the intelligence that said Li Yunlong's New 1st Regiment used infantry guns and mountain guns when attacking the stronghold.
They were also shocked by the spoils they captured.
"Where did Li Yunlong get these weapons and equipment?
Wow, Li Yunlong has made a fortune this time!"
“Humph, he will definitely not hand over these cannons.
He will definitely send a large amount of spoils to shut me up soon.
I have to think of a way to make this guy hand over the gun willingly.
"He wanted to set up an artillery company for his regiment.
A brigade as big as mine doesn't even have a decent piece of artillery."
"I'm afraid that's difficult."
The brigade commander was also a little jealous when he saw the artillery in the intelligence. With the Type 92 infantry gun and mountain gun, which were direct-fire artillery,
Then the troops will no longer have to rely on heaps of human lives when attacking artillery towers and strongholds.
Now when the Eighth Route Army attacks artillery towers, they basically organize commandos to rush outside the towers and then blow them up with explosives. This is not only difficult, but also involves heavy casualties.
"Commander, Commander, our Lao Li has brought you a gift."
Before the brigade commander could come up with a good idea, he heard Li Yunlong's loud voice shouting outside the brigade headquarters.
The brigade commander and the political commissar looked at each other, and an inexplicable smile appeared on the corners of their mouths.
As a partner for many years, the political commissar naturally knew what the brigade commander wanted to do.
"Why are you shouting? I'm not deaf yet.
Come in here! "
Li Yunlong entered the brigade's command room with a Japanese sword in his hand, grinning happily.
As soon as I came in, I found that the brigade commander and the political commissar were looking at me with smiles on their faces.
Li Yunlong suddenly felt a little nervous.
The brigade commander was the first to speak and congratulated Li Yunlong with a smile.
"Li Yunlong, congratulations on your fortune."
This statement is truly sincere.
