After the battle in Wan Jia Town ended, Li Yun Long's troops connected the towns and villages under his jurisdiction with Wan Jia Town. The huge defense area was connected to each other, and there were a total of six towns and villages under his jurisdiction. It took up almost half of Pingan County's land area and became a large local base in northwestern Shanxi.
In Wan Family Town, Li Yunlong was very busy. He had just finished repairing the telephone line that had been blown up. As Li Yunlong's new territory, it was also a military strategy and industrial and commercial town, so he had to keep an army here.
However, there were many enemy diehards in other directions. To the south, there were the Jinsui Army and the puppet army. To the north, there were the Central Army and the Japanese Army. To the east, it was far from the Japanese Army's Ping 'an County. This Wanjia Town was in the east, which made Li Yunlong very worried.
What should he do? This Wan Family Town was rich. There were many small workshops, factories, and shops in the town. There were quite a few businessmen and small capitalists in the town. The rich people could be caught in a handful. The rich people in his defense zone could not even be considered poor.
Moreover, Wan Jia Town had a large population. There were ten thousand young adults, not to mention the old, weak, and women.
Wan Jia Town was so rich not only because the town was powerful, but also because there were many fertile fields around it. Tens of thousands of acres of fertile fields were scattered all over the place, and a small river crossed the ditches.
The grain production and animal husbandry industry of the 20 villages below were very good, and the population was not small. It could be said that Li Yunlong really did not want to spit out the fat meat that was in his mouth.
"Zhang Dabiao, I'm going to nail the headquarters here. Although I'm going to shift my focus to the east and face the Japanese's main force, I, Li Yunlong, am afraid of them?”
Li Yunlong cursed as he knocked on the map.
"Regiment Commander, I understand what you're saying, but we have more territory in the west. It wasn't easy to build a mass base there. If you don't keep an eye on it, not to mention the puppet army and the national army, the devils, traitors, and even bandits over there will come out to harm the people. At that time, our call to recruit new soldiers will be shaken!”
Zhang Dabiao said worriedly.
However, Li Yun Long looked at the map and pondered for a moment. He made a plan in his heart and insisted on staying in Wan Jia Town.
This time, they had seized quite a lot of weapons. Not to mention the trucks and other warehouses in Wanjia Town, even the weapons and equipment of the last puppet infantry brigade and three squadrons that had been wiped out had fallen all over the ground.
"Dabiao, there are three county brigades and six district squads in our defense area. You go and choose a county brigade and give all the weapons of the infantry brigade that you captured outside the city to that county brigade. Of course, you have to leave the infantry cannons for me!”
"The weapons of the three squadrons outside the city will be used to equip the three district squads!”
Li Yunlong said.
With this county brigade and three district teams, plus the original Geng Liang District team, they had nearly a thousand soldiers.
Although this was still a lot weaker than the original combat strength of his troops, it was not weak either. It could basically maintain the security of the western region and prevent some enemies from ambushing.
In order to prevent the enemy from causing trouble, Li Yunlong contacted the brigade headquarters and requested for Sun Desheng to be the commander of the cavalry battalion. This way, he could better lead and lead the cavalry battalion and bring out a valiant cavalry.
"Li Yunlong, you finally called. Tell me how much money Wan Family Town has made this time. You didn't even inform the exploration team this time and used an entire regiment!”
The brigade commander rubbed his eyes. He sounded a little lustful but also a little punishing.
"Haha, Brigadier General, it's not much, just a cavalry unit!”
Li Yun Long burst into laughter.
"It's just a cavalry battalion. I heard that there are many Imperial Association soldiers and Japanese soldiers on the other side. Didn't you seize a lot of weapons and ammunition and capture prisoners?”
the brigade commander said in disbelief.
"No, Brigadier General, you don't understand. There really aren't that many enemies!”
Li Yunlong continued. The brigade commander believed him, but he didn't believe him at all.
"Don't play dumb with me, kid. Even if I don't want men and weapons, I still want food, ammunition, military uniforms, blankets, and other military supplies!”
the brigade commander said angrily.
"Brigadier general, eat me up. How many armaments can this cavalry unit have?”
Li Yunlong insisted.
In the end, the brigade commander had no choice but to ask Li Yunlong to leave behind a cavalry company and hand over the rest of the horses to the brigade headquarters.
But now, how could Li Yunlong be willing? He wanted this cavalry unit too, but the brigade commander used the crime of using an entire regiment for no reason to force Li Yunlong to submit. How could Li Yunlong submit according to the plot?
He knew what the brigade commander lacked the most. If he handed over these hundreds of horses, the brigade commander would at most have half a cavalry battalion. It could be said that one more was not much. Military uniforms, ammunition, and even food and medicine were scarce resources in the brigade and even the headquarters.
His second lieutenant civilian reward included a set of production equipment for the clothing factory. Judging from the date, it was a modern version of the equipment. With fifty people, it could produce 5,000 military uniforms per month. This set of military uniform was a complete set, including a military cap, military uniform, military shoes, and leggings.
"Brigadier general, how about this? I will give the brigade 5,000 sets of military uniforms and 100,000 rounds of bullets this year.”
Li Yunlong said.
When the brigade commander heard this, he immediately canceled the decision to ask for military horses. Li Yunlong also agreed to send 1,000 military uniforms and 10,000 bullets within a month.
1,000 military uniforms and 10,000 bullets were not a problem.
As long as Li Yunlong's clothing factory was established and put into production, he would soon have clothes. The bullet factory was a little f * cked up. After all, the system did not give him a bullet factory. The first lieutenant was rewarded with a cement factory.
"Host, the cement factory can be exchanged for a production line used by the US military after World War II. If you exchange for the 38th rifle ammunition production line, you can exchange for three production lines, and they are the enhanced ones. You can easily fire 100,000 bullets a day. If you work overtime, you can reach a million bullets a day!”
The system's AI message said.
Thinking of this, Li Yunlong was very excited. He immediately used the cement factory equipment to exchange for three enhanced version of the 38th rifle production line. As the exchange fee, he wasted 10,000 military points. Li Yunlong was really distressed.
According to Li Yunlong's instructions, Zhang Dabiao selected a few civilian yards in Wanjia Town. After opening them up, he hastily built the prototype of the bedding factory. Li Yunlong personally installed the production equipment and found a few retired masters of the bedding factory in the division headquarters. With fifty apprentices recruited in the city, he began to put the bedding factory into production.
Looking at the pieces of cloth gradually forming military uniforms, Li Yunlong was very happy. He even made an exception to have a meal with the workers of the clothing factory. This time, everyone had a lot of braised pork in their bowls. There was even canned beef to eat. They ate big mouthfuls of rice, which made them full of energy.
The three bullet production lines were also placed in a secret courtyard. A reinforced platoon was assigned to guard the place. It was marked as a military important place. Without a sign and Li Yunlong's instructions, no one was allowed to enter.
After recruiting the workers, they found a Chinese-Japanese mixed-blood from the city. This mixed-blood had worked in the North Korean bullet factory and his skills were not bad. Li Yunlong was slightly satisfied with his conversation and asked him to temporarily take the apprentices to learn these machines.
In less than a week, the production efficiency of the clothing factory was estimated to reach 8,000 military uniforms a month, and the bullet production line reached 50,000 bullets per day.
