Huang Village.
At the headquarters of the new division.
As a new national army (C division) division level unit.
Li Yunlong redeployed the defense zone. Originally, there were two brigades. Li Yunlong had the authority to appoint two brigade commanders, but he was not in a hurry to appoint them.
Zhang Dabiao was the regiment commander of the 1st regiment, leading the 1st regiment of the new division.
Shen Quan was the commander of the 2nd Regiment. After equipping the 2000 soldiers of the Central Army, they began their training.
Wang Baolai was the leader of the 3rd Regiment. He gathered 1600 people from the Pingan County Brigade and all the other small teams. Under Li Yunlong's guidance, they began to level up quickly in order to form a fighting force.
The tank battalion removed the original 1st regiment, 1st battalion, and 1st company as the backbone and began to recruit new soldiers.
Due to the upgrade and expansion of the army, the members were prioritized to be transferred to the three main forces. The cavalry unit was still empty until now. The 500 military horses ate, drank, and pooped in the stables all day long. The amount of fodder consumed was huge.
Zhu Zi was appointed as the battalion commander of the artillery battalion, but other than the four 92nd Infantry Cannons, there were only the four Italian Cannons. Li Yun Long was not satisfied with these.
Chu Yunfei's reinforced regiment had a mountain cannon battalion (12 cannons, no less powerful than the Italian cannons). This was the Jinsui army. Li Yunlong was now in the central army, so he should be treated very well.
For this reason, Li Yunlong also sent a telegram to the National Army Central Committee. The telegram said that due to the tight war, the Japanese army blocked the main road, and it was difficult for a division to transport so many military supplies within the stipulated time.
When Li Yunlong heard this, he cursed. What the hell was going on?
Due to Li Yunlong's pressure, the National Army made some compromises, saying that the military uniform could now meet Li Yunlong's requirements. As for the rest, they could turn over 100,000 bullets per month from the 358th Regiment.
According to the instructions given by the higher-ups, Li Yunlong's C Division was composed of two brigades and four regiments, as well as a number of companies directly under the division. There were 10068 people (those who could receive monthly pay and equipment).
But now, Old Jiang only gave them 100,000 rounds of ammunition a month. He said that it was difficult to transport the supplies and asked the 358th Regiment to provide them with aid.
One must know that there were quite a number of central armies in the land of the Three Jin. Could it be that they did not have enough supplies? If the supplies were not enough, would the soldiers who relied on being soldiers be willing to work?
Moreover, the Central Army did not have a C-grade division. At the very least, it was a B-grade division. The C-grade divisions were all no-name divisions.
Li Yunlong understood what was going on and smiled evilly.
It seemed that Old Jiang had given them a way to guard against them.
Since that was the case, he would get his hands on the artillery battalion of Regiment 358 if he had the chance.
In any case, Old Jiang had put Li Yunlong in an awkward position, so Li Yunlong was not afraid of getting into an argument with Old Jiang.
"It's better to ask for help than to ask for help from others!"
The training of the new division had consumed a lot of ammunition, and the previous inventory was being used up at an extremely fast speed. It was all the ammunition that Li Yunlong had obtained through war, and now it was obviously going to run out.
Originally, Li Yunlong wanted to wipe out all the ghost strongholds in Pingan County, but considering that there were two ghost teams in Pingan County and Li County, Li Yunlong decided not to act rashly.
" It's time to build an ammunition factory," Li Yunlong muttered.
However, building an ammunition factory required a lot of money, and it wasn't something that could be done with money alone. Li Yunlong didn't want to produce those low-quality bullets in the headquarters 'arsenal. If he wanted to produce high-quality bullets, he wanted to talk to foreigners.
However, the influence of the new division was not enough to get in touch with those foreign big shots. If they deliberately went to look for them, they would undoubtedly be bootlicking. Without real strength, it would be useless to just rely on words. Even if they were useful, they would be slaughtered. This was what Li Yunlong did not want to see.
In the past two days, the tobacco factory and canning factory in Tian Tuo Village had started to operate. Some mountain villages in Ping 'an County planted tobacco leaves. The raw materials of the tobacco factory were not lacking. With the equipment and skilled workers at the foot of the mountain, new cigarettes were quickly produced.
Li Yunlong had also thought of the brand name for the cigarettes. It was called " Yunlong " brand cigarettes. There were five grades in total. Each grade had a different color, price, and quality.
Moreover, due to the huge knowledge base in Li Yunlong's mind, there were all kinds of excellent methods and new technologies for making cigarettes, as well as all kinds of secret recipes. There were three improved models of "Yunlong" brand cigarettes. No matter which model of cigarettes, they were all first-class cigarettes in this world.
The lowest-grade cigarettes of this brand were 10 boxes each, and the price was 1 silver dollar. It was half the price of Yamashita cigarettes and a little cheaper than other low-grade cigarettes, and the quality was better.
Li Yunlong planned to sell the cigarettes in Northwest Shanxi first. If the sales were stable and the profits were good, he would expand the market to the entire Sanjin, or even the entire North China.
Li Yunlong planned to hoard the money he earned so that he could buy one or two high-quality bullet production lines when he negotiated with the foreigners in the future.
As for the beef canning factory, due to the lack of beef cattle, the northern Mongolian region was occupied by the Japanese, and Pingan County lacked beef cattle. It was almost a half-baked state, and its grain production was extremely limited.
Five days passed in a flash.
On this day, Ding Wei and Kong Jie came together, which made the bored Li Yun Long very happy.
On the table, there were two bottles of sake, two bottles of sweet potato yaki, four cans of beef, some stewed wild vegetables, and some cabbage and potato braised dishes. The three brothers began to chat and drink.
"Master, it's not easy for us to come here. You won't treat us with this, right? You're a master now. Chu Yunfei has a chef with a complete faction.”
When Kong Jie opened his mouth, he was all smiles. However, his words were laced with daggers. There was a hint of Kong Jie's unwillingness to accept Li Yunlong. There was also the friendship between the three of them, so he could say whatever he wanted.
"You stupid Kong, what good stuff have you eaten with that stinky mouth of yours? It's already good enough that I'm giving you this, but you're still picky. You don't even have this at your place!”
Li Yun Long casually responded, causing Kong Jie to feel a little awkward.
"To be honest, Old Li, this time, the Japanese have stationed a regiment in Li County and Pingan County. The burden on your side is not light, so you have to pay more attention!”
"In addition, you have to guard against the national army!”
Ding Wei picked up a bowl of wine and reminded Li Yunlong.
"I know, but with the two Japanese regiments, they can't take me down. If they come, I'll break their teeth!”
Li Yun Long said with a smile.
Ding Wei then mentioned the batch of equipment that the brigade commander had mentioned. Li Yunlong brought Ding Wei out to take a look. They were all 80% new Type 38 rifles, as well as a regiment of Imperial Association Army's Type 92 heavy machine guns and crooked weapons.
When Ding Wei saw this, he was very satisfied.
Kong Jie came up and touched the heavy 92 heavy machine gun, unconsciously giving Li Yunlong a look.
"Old Li, this time, when you guys attacked the Japanese railway, my independent regiment helped a lot. Why don't you show some mercy? My independent regiment suffered a lot of casualties in order to stop you!”
Kong Jie looked at Li Yunlong with his eyes wide open.
"I don't have money, guns, or even my life. Don't treat me like a landlord. I'm very poor.”
Li Yun Long laughed at Kong Jie's words.
"You're a teacher now, but you still have this attitude. I heard that you keep your bullets for your children, right?”
Kong Jie pointed at Li Yun Long and said with a smile.
