The lost troops have been replaced by a new batch of soldiers.

In the regiment headquarters, Li Yunlong is facing a person who is giving him a headache.

"Commander, why are you here?"

After seeing the brigade commander coming, Li Yunlong forced a stiff smile on his face.

The brigade commander, with his whip in his hand and his back to his back, looked at Li Yunlong and said with a half-smile, "Why? It seems you don't welcome me very much."

A warm smile immediately appeared on Li Yunlong's face, and the change was very fast.

"How can that be? Commander, you are the leader. Please inform me next time the leader comes so that I can come and greet you."

The brigade commander chuckled twice and said, "I dare not trouble Deputy Brigade Commander Li to come and greet me."

That’s right, after this battle, Li Yunlong made great contributions and the headquarters has promoted him to the position of deputy brigade commander of the 386th Brigade.

He also served as the head of the independent group.

In addition, the independent regiment has officially become the main force.

The treatment has been upgraded to the same level as the 771st and 772nd Regiments, and it is no longer a second-line combat unit.

Li Yunlong didn't care about the salary increase.

What he valued most was that as the main force regiment, they had the right to fight first when fighting the Japanese.

After all, when superiors assign tasks, they will be assigned to the main force first.

This can be seen from the Battle of Lijiaopo.

It can be seen that when choosing to attack the Yamazaki Battalion, the brigade commander first considered Cheng Xiazi's 772nd Regiment, rather than the independent regiment.

As for the position of deputy brigade commander, it is even more of a nominal position for Li Yunlong.

At this moment, the guard came in and reported: "Report to the brigade commander, regimental commander, Mr. Li is here."

When Li Yunlong heard that Li Jingrong was coming, his face froze.

The bandit brigade commander is still here. Li Jingrong came at a very wrong time.

The brigade commander was shocked when he heard this.

He originally wanted to meet Comrade Shenlan again, but he was so lucky that he could see him as soon as he arrived.

Moreover, this comrade Deep Blue always brings a lot of good things every time he comes.

Naturally, he wanted to see if any of them belonged to the 386th Brigade.

"Let's go to Wangjiagou."

The brigade commander looked at Li Yunlong, whose face was stiff, with a smile on his face.

This bastard, I've been so nice to him, why does he act like he's going to Wangjiagou and it's like he's asking for his life?

But thinking about his previous actions, it seemed that the extortion was indeed a bit harsh.

Then I will be gentler this time and only take the part that belongs to him.

After all, several units of the 386th Brigade suffered heavy losses in blocking the Japanese reinforcements, and they had to make up for it at least a little.

Li Yunlong looked at the brigade commander's back as he left and couldn't help but sigh.

Why am I so unlucky this time?

He originally planned to hide a batch of weapons and equipment, but now it seems impossible.

Li Jingrong came at a really bad time.

Wangjiagou has undergone significant changes compared to before, and the road has been widened to four lanes.

Although it is still a stone and dirt road, it is much better than before.

The flat land inside Wangjiagou has also been leveled, making it very suitable for stacking bulk materials.

After Li Jingrong put his things away, he waited there for Li Yunlong to bring the convoy over.

This time there are a lot more goods than last time, especially the cannons.

Soon he saw dust flying on the road in the distance, and a number of Opel Lightning trucks were driving towards this side.

Among them are more than ten ten-wheel heavy-duty trucks from General Motors.

This is because Li Jingrong took into consideration that some goods cannot be loaded by Opel trucks, and it would be much more convenient to have a heavy truck.

The convoy drove directly into Wangjiagou. Li Yunlong, Zhao Gang and Brigade Commander Chen jumped off a truck and walked towards Li Jingrong. Looking at Brigade Commander Chen, Li Jingrong was also extremely surprised. Why did this big man come with Li Yunlong this time?

But judging from Li Yunlong's expression, there might be something interesting to watch this time.

He was still very happy to see Li Yunlong suffer a defeat.

Brigade Commander Chen came up to Li Jingrong, his face filled with a warm smile. He extended his hand and said with a smile, "Mr. Li, thank you for your hard work."

Li Jingrong reached out and shook the calloused hands, saying, "It's not hard work, but why are you here, Commander Chen?"

The brigade commander laughed and said, "I came to see Deputy Brigade Commander Li this time, and I didn't expect to meet Mr. Li here."

"Deputy Brigade Commander Li?"

Brigade Commander Chen looked at his bewildered expression and said, "That's right, Li Yunlong performed well in this battle and made great achievements, so the headquarters promoted him.

He serves as the deputy commander of the 386th Brigade and concurrently serves as the commander of the independent regiment. His main focus is still on the independent regiment.

After hearing the explanation from Brigade Commander Chen, Li Jingrong suddenly realized that this was a good thing.

Although it is only a level increase, this level is extremely important to Li Yunlong.

"This time, the headquarters commended not only Li Yunlong, but also Mr. Li."

Upon hearing this, Li Jingrong pointed at himself in surprise.

"I?"

Brigade Commander Chen nodded and said, "Indeed, Comrade Shenlan has helped our army a lot, so the general has specially established a consultant position at the headquarters, which is specially prepared for Mr. Li."

"From now on, you are no longer the military advisor of the Independent Regiment, but the military advisor of our Eighth Route Army."

"Of course, this is just a nominal position, but at least it can ensure that Li Yunlong won't dare to show his teeth in front of Mr. Li."

Military adviser of the Eighth Route Army Headquarters, apart from anything else, this title is quite intimidating.

This was also an honor for him, so he naturally accepted it with pleasure.

Li Yunlong was furious when he heard this and complained, "Brigade Commander, how dare I say such a thing to Mr. Li? I always treat Mr. Li like an ancestor and I'm afraid that Mr. Li will be wronged in our independent regiment."

Li Jingrong is the real God of Wealth. No one, Li Yunlong, dares to offend him.

Brigade Commander Chen ignored Li Yunlong's complaint and said, "You should be more careful in the future. Although Mr. Li's position as a military advisor is a nominal one, it is still valuable."

"At least he's my equal in rank."

Li Yunlong was helpless.

Well, this time the independent regiment has one more big boss.

The kind that is one level higher in rank.

Now it has become the king Li Yunlong, Li Jingrong and Chen Brigade Commander.

"Commander Chen, I went to Europe this time and brought you some gifts."

Da Hu was very considerate and brought over a dozen oil-paper bags.

Li Jingrong handed it to Brigade Commander Chen and said, "I heard that the war is intense and the Brigade Commander often has to stay up late, so I specially brought some coffee from over there. I hope Brigade Commander Chen will like it."

Brigadier General Chen was actually interested and said with a smile, "To be honest, I quite like this. I remember drinking it when I was at the Whampoa Military Academy."

"Okay, don't stand here blocking the way. I think there's a lot of stuff in here. Let's go and help."

Helping is fake, stealing is real.

After hearing this, Li Yunlong's mouth twitched involuntarily and his face was full of sorrow, but he did not dare to complain in front of Brigade Commander Chen.

Li Jingrong smiled and nodded, saying, "That's right. I brought a lot of good stuff this time. How about I introduce them to Brigade Commander Chen?"

Brigade Commander Chen's eyes lit up when he heard this and he said, "That's great, let's introduce them."

Li Yunlong stared at Li Jingrong with wide eyes, wondering how this comrade could betray the revolution.

All the good things were introduced to Brigade Commander Chen, so there was no place for Li Yunlong.

He knew that Li Jingrong had brought him large-caliber heavy artillery this time. Could it be that the heavy artillery was in danger this time?

Only after the group entered the valley did they see the full picture of Wangjiagou. The roads that extended in all directions were lined with all kinds of things.

All weapons, equipment and ammunition here are stacked in classified areas.

Rifles, light machine guns, heavy machine guns, mortars, etc.

"This time it's all weapons and equipment?"

Seeing so many things, Brigade Commander Chen thought they were food and supplies again.

I didn't expect that at first glance, they were all boxes loaded with weapons and ammunition.

After all, if it were supplies, they would not be packed in this kind of wooden box.

Li Jingrong nodded and said, "That's right. Captain Li said that this deal should be exchanged for weapons and ammunition and handed over to headquarters, so this time I brought all weapons and equipment, weighing a total of 3200 tons."

Even Brigade Commander Chen couldn't help but open his mouth wide when he heard the figure of 3200 tons of weapons and ammunition.

3200 tons! This is not a small number. The total amount of weapons and ammunition of tens of thousands of Eighth Route Army troops in the entire western Shanxi Province may not be this much.

Not to mention anything else, this number alone is enough for the entire 129th Division to completely replace its equipment from top to bottom...

"What's there?"

Brigade Commander Chen asked with some anxiety and anticipation.

Li Jingrong pointed to the two largest piles of weapon boxes and said, "These two piles contain the Type 56 automatic rifles I demonstrated last time, which are also the original version of the Type 81 automatic rifle. Brigade Commander Chen has already seen their performance. There are not many of them, only a total of . The ammunition is on the other side. Due to weight constraints this time, I don't have many with me, only million rounds."

"hiss."

After hearing this number, everyone couldn't help but take a breath.

No wonder it’s such a big pile. These 400 rifles weigh more than tons. How could it not be a lot?

And they actually have 10 million rounds of bullets, which can last them for a long time even if it is an automatic rifle.

Because the soldiers still haven't changed their habit of saving bullets, they usually use semi-automatic shooting during combat.

Only turn on full auto when fighting in close quarters.

The independent regiment did a good job in this regard, changing the soldiers' habit of saving bullets.

But these 10 million bullets are indeed a lot.

During the Hundred Regiments Campaign of 40 years, the total strength of the Eighth Route Army reached more than 40.

And how many bullets did the Eighth Route Army have in stock at that time?

There were only more than two million rounds, and more than half of them were used during the Hundred Regiments Campaign.

It can be imagined that with these 1000 million rounds of bullets added to the previous ones, the Eighth Route Army’s bullet reserves will reach about 1500 million rounds.

According to historical records, the total bullet consumption of the Eighth Route Army during the entire War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression did not exceed 5000 million rounds.

This 1500 million rounds of ammunition reserve is indeed not a small number.

Brigade Commander Chen said with a little excitement: "Mr. Li, I won't say much to thank you. We will never forget this kindness."
