Chapter 22 Morale Issues(1/2)

Author: Did you see my avatar?

After negotiating the price, Mo Fan took Li Yunlong to deliver nine tons of weapons and equipment at a hidden mountain col near Yangcun.

The two chatted for more than ten minutes before Mo Fan left.

"This Commander Li is really..."

On the way out, Mo Fan couldn't help but admire:

“He is an interesting person and his words are nice.”

Li Yunlong, who had received enough benefits, kept chattering and cadenced, talking about everything from the Japanese to the grasslands and snowy mountains. Even if he just listened, he found it very interesting.

Suddenly, the system interface pops up naturally.

"Applying for map data of the entire Zhengtai Railway... will help improve customers' enthusiasm for fighting the war. If the application is approved, it will be issued after the customer meets the conditions."

"Applying for ten bottles of Erguotou...rejected."

Big Customer Li likes to drink. Do you know how to do business and understand the ways of the world?... Shaking his head, Mo Fan was led back to the temporary base by his entourage.

·····

After Li Yunlong sent Mo Fan off, he first arranged for Zhang Dabiao to take people to transport the weapons and equipment, and told Zhang Dabiao not to put them in the regiment headquarters, but in the yard next to the regiment headquarters, and then returned to the regiment headquarters alone.

On the way, he kept thinking about something.

"I don't know what the prices of Miyano Michichi and Okamura Neji are."

Li Yunlong has some expectations.

Brother Mo, this cheap guy, is honest in his buying and selling bids. All weapons, equipment, and supplies do not include the weight of packaging and accessories.

Mauser pointed bullets, pure shotguns weighing one ton, cost about 38,000 rounds. I rounded up the figure to 40,000 rounds per ton, which also includes canvas bullet chains and a large number of pure copper bullet bridges.

Czech-style light machine guns are directly calculated at ten kilograms each, and even the magazine, spare barrel, copper bar, and firing pin are provided for free.

So,

How generous would the price be for killing Miyano Michichi or even Okamura Neji?

I guess it will have to be doubled.

That's sixty beds.

Then we will train 60 health workers who understand battlefield first aid, and assign one to each platoon of the independent regiment. If there are enough first aid medicines, the number of sacrificed soldiers can be estimated to be reduced by half.

How many soldiers fell down because they did not have time to receive first aid and their own hospitals were unable to save them?

"Hey hey hey..."

Li Yunlong was thinking about the future and walked to the regiment headquarters unknowingly. Kong Jie happened to be there too.

"Old Li!"

Kong Jie saw Li Yunlong and immediately came up:

"Now you are in charge of the independent group. You have to think about how to unite people's hearts."

"In this battle, the Second Battalion suffered the greatest losses. Its organization was broken, its personnel were uneven, and its morale was also..."

Having said this, Kong Jie sighed:

"The other two battalions were not much better. Both the first and third battalions had fought against the Japanese and had their own losses. Although the losses were not big, the loss in this battle was too humiliating, and the morale of the whole regiment was very low.

We have to find a way, we can’t continue like this.”

I ambushed a small group of Japanese troops and had them all surrounded. Not only did the Japanese escape, but I also suffered heavy losses. I was like a cooked duck flying away and even being pecked.

Such a disastrous defeat would have a greater impact on the morale of the troops than suffering a disastrous defeat, far more than the last Yunling counter-mopping operation.

"I already have a solution for this problem."

Li Yunlong sounded confident.

The unit suffered a huge defeat, a humiliating defeat, and it was normal for morale to be hit. Although he spoke to company and platoon officers at all levels during the day and improved morale a little, the effect was limited. The current morale problem in the independent regiment is very serious.

This cannot be solved by one or two encouragements.

If you want to boost morale, nothing is more effective than a victory.

"What can I do?"

Kong Jie asked.

"Let's clench our fists first."

Li Yunlong expressed the plan he had been thinking about for a long time:

"Select the combat backbones from the second battalion, and then select some of the combat backbones from the first and second battalions to form a backbone company."

"Um?"

Kong Jie was stunned.

He thought that Li Yunlong would compress the Second Battalion into a company.

In the battle with the Yamamoto Special Forces, the Second Battalion lost more than 200 men. Excluding the wounded who were being treated, there are currently less than 120 men left, which is exactly the strength of a company.

Unexpectedly, Li Yunlong actually gathered all the elite soldiers of the regiment to form a reinforced company.

"What do you want to do?"

Kong Jie vaguely thought of Li Yunlong's plan.

"What do I want to do?"

Li Yunlong smiled, with murderous intent revealed in his smile:

"I want to do something big."

"This idea is good, but the current independent group simply does not have the strength."

Kong Jie shook his head, and then sighed again.

He knew what Li Yunlong wanted to do, which was to take the troops outside to beat up the Japanese and boost morale. There was nothing simpler and more direct than a big victory and the seizure of a large amount of supplies.

but···

"Let me tell you, the entire regiment only has over 1,500 rounds of ammunition left."

Kong Jie sighed again:

"Not long ago, we lost three machine guns in the battle with the Yamamoto Special Forces, and two more malfunctioned and needed to be sent to the arsenal for repair. Currently, only five of them are still usable, and the only grenade canister was also lost in the battle."

"With this little capital, how can you do something big?"

Although the battle with Yamamoto's special agent team was not long, it was very fierce. In order to stop Yamamoto, Kong Jie had to use his troops to use firepower, which resulted in a large consumption of ammunition.

"Huh, what did I think was the problem?"

Li Yunlong sneered and said in a contemptuous tone:

"Isn't it just a lack of weapons and ammunition? This is not simple!"

Kong Jie was stunned at first, and then he sneered, not believing it at all:

"What are you pretending to do in front of labor and management!"

"Now the whole army is short of weapons. Where can you get them? Ask Ding Wei to borrow them? Do you think that bitch Ding Wei can borrow them? Your new regiment belongs to someone else. Or where can you go to Zhang Wanhe? There is no better place to get them.

Here are some hand grenades we made ourselves, the headquarters is also short of weapons and equipment."

"That's all you have to offer!"

Li Yunlong also sneered, and then he stood up and motioned for Kong Jie to follow:

"Come, let me show you the world."

"What's the meaning?"

Kong Jie looked at Li Yunlong doubtfully, hesitated for a moment, and then followed him.

The two left the regiment headquarters and came to a yard next to the regiment headquarters. At this time, Zhang Dabiao was leading some soldiers to carry the weapons and equipment brought by Boss Mo. The first thing Kong Jie saw was a long sleeper.

, the two soldiers walked over cautiously, one behind the other.

"This is··"

First he glanced at the sleepers, and then at the wooden boxes carried by the soldiers. Their shapes looked like ammunition boxes and weapon boxes. Then he looked at the boxes already piled in the yard. Kong Jie suddenly looked at Li Yunlong.

:

"All weapons and ammunition?"

"Hey hey hey..."

Li Yunlong's laughter became more and more proud:

"Deputy Captain Kong can check it out personally!"

Without further ado, Kong Jie rushed into the yard and opened five wooden boxes of different sizes in succession.

What appeared in front of Kong Jie's eyes was a Czech machine gun, a Maxim machine gun, a box of Mauser pointed bullets, a box of Mauser pistol bullets, and a box of hand grenades imported from Germany.
