I am helping

"What gift?"

Li Yunlong's tone was arrogant.

Ding Wei and Kong Jie put down their chopsticks and raised their ears to see what gift Li Yunlong had prepared.

Looking at the expressions of Wang Dehou and Zhao Gang, Ding Wei and Kong Jie knew that the gift Li Yunlong said was true.

Li Yunlong took a sip of Fenjiu and ate a mouthful of soy sauce beef, and then said: "This big gift is the business of killing Naosaburo Okabe, the new commander of the North China Front Army. How about it? We, Lao Li, treat you well, right?"

Naosaburo Okabe flew from Northeast China to Peiping, and was shot down by a new group of planes over the western suburbs of Peiping Airport.

At that time, because the troops were about to attack, the counterattack broke out before Li Yunlong had time to receive the goods.

In this battle, Li Yunlong nominally commanded more than 30 Eighth Route Army troops and defeated the Japanese army.

The seizure was quite rich, and the transaction price given by Boss Chen was a huge sum of money.

and so.

Although the head of the headquarters asked about the business price of Naosaburo Okabe, the head of the headquarters asked Li Yunlong to keep the price of killing Naosaburo Okabe.

And the price of this transaction, even if Li Yunlong gets half of it, is enough for the new regiment to expand its main elite force by 10.

Therefore, Li Yunlong planned to give Ding Wei and Kong Jie the business price of killing Naosaburo Okabe.

"Old Li, how much weapons and equipment will Boss Chen give to kill Naosaburo Okabe?"

The eyes of Ding Wei and Kong Jie both lit up. The two brothers looked at each other and saw a deep surprise in each other's eyes.

Ding Wei and Kong Jie estimated.

Although Naosaburo Okabe was killed before he officially took office, he had been promoted to general and was the new commander of the North China Front officially appointed by the Japanese base camp.

This means that Naosaburo Okabe's rank is the same as that of the current commander of the North China Front, Okamura Neiji.

This price cannot be lowered!

There are definitely 203mm heavy howitzers and Katyusha rocket launchers.

Moreover, this was the first time that the Eighth Route Army killed a Japanese general.

"How much weaponry?"

"Speak out and scare you!"

Li Yunlong ate peanuts and smiled:
“一共是48门203毫米重型榴弹炮，48门喀秋莎火箭炮，24门88毫米高射炮。”

Every time Li Yunlong said something, Ding Wei and Kong Jie's eyes became brighter and brighter.

Even if they are divided equally between the two, each person can get 24 203mm heavy howitzers, 24 Katyusha rocket launchers, and 12 88mm anti-aircraft guns.

Each can be expanded by 1 heavy howitzer battalion, 1 Katyusha rocket launcher battalion and 1 large-caliber anti-aircraft gun battalion.

In addition to the large-caliber anti-aircraft gun battalion, the heavy howitzer battalion and the Katyusha rocket launcher battalion are all regiment-sized.

After being equipped with the heavy howitzer battalion and the Katyusha rocket launcher battalion, any one of the Independent Regiment and the New Second Regiment can confront the Japanese A-type division head-on and gain the upper hand.

Hearing this, Ding Wei and Kong Jie were already smiling.

Especially Kong Jie, whose face was already smiling like a chrysanthemum, in stark contrast to his previous rogue appearance.

But it wasn't over yet, I heard Li Yunlong continue:

"There are also 3 Jiefang trucks, 200 heavy-duty howitzer crawler tractors, and 100 million tons of fuel."

"Except for a set of oil field equipment, I asked Boss Chen to replace the remaining factories and weapons and ammunition production lines with 200 new 122mm heavy guns, 200 tanks and 50 armored vehicles."

"So, are you two satisfied with this great gift?"

The prices of generals and generals are also different.

For example, someone like Kohisao, who died as a lieutenant general and was posthumously awarded the title of general, paid for 24 B4 heavy howitzers, the corresponding Katyusha rocket launchers, trucks, fuel and production lines.

For a general with no real power like Honjo Shige, the price is 36 B4 heavy howitzers and corresponding Katyusha rocket launchers, trucks, fuel and production lines.

As for powerful generals like Okamura Neiji and Okabe Naosaburo, who are commanders of the front forces, their business prices are higher than those without powerful generals.

Li Yunlong couldn't imagine how great the price would be if he killed Tojo Eiji and Tian Locust! ?
Although there are not too many factories and weapons and ammunition production lines, there are a lot of Japanese generals killed this time, and there are a lot of factories and weapons and ammunition production lines earned.

Due to the lack of technical personnel and limited raw materials, it would take a lot of time for the Eighth Route Army to digest these factories, weapons and ammunition.

There will be many opportunities to earn factories, weapons and ammunition in the future.

Therefore, Li Yunlong exchanged all the factories and production lines obtained by killing Naosaburo Okabe for heavy artillery and tanks.

If there was no shortage of pilots, Kong Jie and Ding Wei could even be replaced with planes.

"Satisfied, satisfied."

Kong Jie and Ding Wei had honest and cheerful smiles on their faces, like old farmers who were about to harvest a good harvest after a busy year.

This great gift from Li Yunlong is all heavy weapons that can crush the Japanese.

Want to ask if you are satisfied or not?Kong Jie and Ding Wei must be more than satisfied.

And this price is much higher than the 100 new heavy artillery, 100 tanks and 1000 cars that Kong Jie asked for before!
If we say that a newly equipped heavy howitzer battalion and Katyusha rocket launcher battalion can gain the upper hand in a confrontation with the Japanese A-type division.

Coupled with the fact that these new heavy artillery, tanks and armored vehicles have equipped the troops to form combat effectiveness, do Kong Jie and Ding Wei have the confidence to shout, the Japanese Class A Division is nothing?

"Lao Li, I was presumptuous before. I respect you with this bowl."

"From now on, you, Li Yunlong, are my half-brother, Kong Jie."

Kong Jie picked up the wine bottle and filled the bowl in front of him. Then he touched the wine bowl with Li Yunlong and said:
"I did it, you can do whatever you want!"

After finishing speaking, Kong Jie picked up the wine bowl and took a sip.

Li Yunlong had no choice but to drink all the wine in the bowl.

Not to be outdone, Ding Wei toasted Li Yunlong with a bowl.

This batch of weapons and equipment cannot be bought with money. Li Yunlong's generous gift is indeed beyond the expectations of Ding Wei and Kong Jie.

Not to mention calling each other brothers, even if they asked Kong Jie and Ding Wei to call Li Yunlong daddy, if the two brothers hesitated for even a second, it would be disrespect for this batch of weapons and ammunition.

Kong Jie and Ding Wei were confident that if the Independent Regiment and the New Second Regiment were equipped with this equipment, they would have no problem dealing with a national army group.

In addition to the B4 heavy howitzer and Katyusha rocket launcher.

With these new heavy artillery, Ding Wei and Kong Jie can each expand to 3 heavy artillery battalions, 2 tank battalions and 1 armored battalion.

The American weapons that Li Yunlong gave them before could allow them to expand to about 3 people.

Now, with the addition of 9 heavy firepower battalions, the troops of the Independent Regiment and the New Second Regiment, the number is reaching 4.

This time, the reason why Li Yunlong was so generous.

Mainly because of the headquarters' plan to classify the Independent Regiment and the New Second Regiment from the 386th Brigade as troops directly under the headquarters, they will be under the long-term command of Li Yunlong in the future.

After all, with the strength and equipment level of the Independent Regiment and the New Second Regiment, it would be inappropriate to continue to belong to the 386th Brigade.

After the counterattack on Japan is completed, the headquarters will reorganize the independent regiment and the new second regiment with the strength and equipment level.

Ding Wei and Kong Jie will be given officers based on their strength. By then, Ding Wei and Kong Jie will at least be at the level of corps commanders.

Of course that's all for later.

Both Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang felt that the headquarters' arrangement was wonderful.

In the future, Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang will lead a new group to counterattack, drive the Japanese into the sea, and even counterattack Japan. They will inevitably fight in the north and south. Having Ding Wei and Kong Jie as their right-hand men will give Li Yunlong more confidence.

The only thing that makes Li Yunlong a little regretful is that.

After the Battle of Zhengtai, he sent a telegram to Chu Yunfei, asking Chu Yunfei to come to Taiyuan to reminisce about the past.

However, Chu Yunfei has not replied yet.

"That's a good thing!"

Ding Wei also felt that the head of the headquarters' consideration was very reasonable, and he immediately said with a look on his face:
"After our expansion is completed, our new second regiment will have 4 troops, the independent regiment will have 4 troops, and the new first regiment will have 15 troops, totaling 23 main elites."

"There is no shortage of tanks, heavy artillery, or aircraft. With just our three regiments, we can sweep across North China and point our sword at the Northeast."

"Recover North China, Mongolia, then Central China, and South China, and by the way conquer Southeast Asia, expand the territory, and finally counterattack and liberate Japan, turning Japan into a province of ours."

"At that time, Lao Li had millions of elites, and Lao Kong and I also had millions of elites."

"We three brothers all have to become marshals."

"Are you, Ding Wei, qualified to be a marshal? Being a major general is enough to promote you." Kong Jie said immediately, "I am about the same as Lao Li being a marshal."

"It's over."

Although Li Yunlong was yearning for it in his heart, he still said on the surface:
"Although our Lao Li is a handsome man, it's still too early to say this."

"Old Li, you have to have dreams in life." Ding Wei took a bite of meat and looked at Li Yunlong and said, "You have Boss Chen behind you. As long as you work hard, nothing is impossible?"

Next, the three brothers drank a lot of wine, boasted for more than an hour, and discussed some matters about receiving goods, and then broke up the banquet.

Ding Wei and Kong Jie had enough to eat and drink, and left with satisfied expressions.

When leaving, the three brothers put their arms around each other, as if they were wearing a pair of trousers.

When Zhao Gang and Wang Dehou saw this, they were both a little envious. This was their old comrade-in-arms.

As Li Yunlong continued to send telegrams to Boss Chen to confirm the receipt of goods, more and more weapons, ammunition, medicines and grains were transported by large transport aircraft and large helicopters to Taiyuan, northwestern Shanxi and southeastern Shanxi, and entered the Eighth Route Army warehouse.

As weapons and ammunition entered the warehouse, various departments of the Eighth Route Army, including the 129th Division, the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region, the New Regiment and other main forces, began to recruit troops with great fanfare.

The Jizhong Military Region has also begun to assemble a large number of guerrillas, district brigades and district squads, as well as high-quality militiamen.

These guerrillas and militia troops began to gather towards Jingxing County, then got on the train and were pulled directly along the Zhengtai Railway to Taiyuan.

After these guerrillas and militiamen arrived in Taiyuan, they began to accept the reorganization of the new regiment and became the main force of the new regiment. (End of chapter)
