Ding Wei only cared about looking at these weapons. He unconsciously picked up a 38-foot gun and pushed a bullet into the magazine. It felt good in his hand.
This was what it meant to be a good fighter against the Japanese. Ding Wei sighed.
"I say, Old Li, you're really something this time. You actually slaughtered the full Eighth Mixed Association of the Imperial Association Army under the nose of the Japanese!”
"This is a tiger blocking the way of the Guizi Zhengtai Road's Li County section. Many of our brigade's troops have suffered losses at his hands. If it wasn't for you, Old Li, even if our entire brigade went up, we might not have been able to end the battle so quickly!”
Ding Wei sighed.
"The Eighth Mixed Association is not even a second-rate army. Even if they encounter me, Li Yunlong, they have to lie down!”
Li Yunlong raised his voice and said with a smile.
"Eh, Ding Wei, don't say that about these guys. The more you praise him, the more his face will swell!”
Kong Jie picked up a can of beef and was about to take a bite when he couldn't help but laugh.
Ding Wei smiled and placed the Type 38 rifle in his hand on the spot.
"However, Old Li, I heard that your name was mentioned in the meeting of the Japanese North China Command. In the future, you will become the focus of the Japanese army in Northwest Shanxi. If you have any difficulties, you can tell me and Kong Jie!”
Ding Wei said to Li Yun Long.
"Don't. There are not many villains in my independent temple. I can't help Master Li. I still want to live a few more years!”
Kong Jie said as he ate.
"Uh, Old Ding, you've hit the nail on the head. I just happen to want someone from you!”
Li Yunlong said to Ding Wei.
When Ding Wei heard this, he looked at Li Yunlong suspiciously. He still had people that Li Yunlong wanted. Was this guy playing tricks on him?
"Old Li, I don't know who you want. Tell me, if it's possible, I'll give it to you!”
Ding Wei returned to the dining table and said to Li Yunlong.
"I want Sun Desheng!"
Li Yunlong said straightforwardly.
When Ding Wei heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and his expression was a little awkward.
"To be honest, Old Li, Sun Desheng was given to me by the brigade commander. He is an important military cadre for me to form the new Second Regiment. If you want a soldier, even if it's a squad, I will give it to you.”
Ding Wei spoke righteously and seemed to make a lot of sense. Moreover, he did not seem to offend anyone.
Li Yunlong forced a smile and toasted Ding Wei.
Li Yunlong knew that there was nothing impossible as long as he didn't bet enough.
"Old Ding, it's already winter. Are the cotton clothes given to you by the Munitions Factory enough?”
Li Yun Long asked Ding Wei with a smile.
When Ding Wei heard this, he sighed.
"You don't say, this year it's Kong Jie's Independent Regiment that's leading the cotton-padded uniforms. The other regiments are using the old ones. My new 2nd Regiment has just been formed, and it was the brigade department that asked the headquarters to give us 500 cotton-padded uniforms.”
Kong Jie looked at Li Yunlong with a different expression at the mention of the cotton-padded clothes. Kong Jie wanted to say something, but Li Yunlong coughed and swallowed his words.
"Old Ding, I have 500 sets of brand new cotton-padded clothes here. I originally kept them for the soldiers who were preparing to expand, but I still have some old cotton-padded clothes. If you need them, I can let you take a look!”
Li Yunlong ate a mouthful of food and looked at Ding Wei solemnly.
When Ding Wei heard that Li Yunlong had brand new cotton clothes, he couldn't help but glance at Kong Jie. Kong Jie had complained to Ding Wei that Li Yunlong was dishonest and had tricked him out of 1000 sets of brand new cotton clothes from the Munitions Factory.
Kong Jie humphed and continued drinking without saying anything.
Ding Wei saw that Kong Jie didn't say anything, but his heart was in turmoil. It was already winter. If he didn't have a cotton coat in winter, he would be living a hard life.
The civilians might be able to stay at home, but the soldiers had to fight at any time. Once they were exposed to the cold outside, they would freeze to death without cotton clothes. This non-combat casualty might be even more serious than the combat casualty.
The 500 sets of cotton clothes were exactly the supplies that Ding Wei's 1,000-man regiment had to replenish. Their value was far above the 5 machine guns. They were even worth 10 machine guns.
Ding Wei would be lying if he said that he wasn't tempted. However, if he was, something seemed to be written on Old Li's face.
Ding Wei thought for a long time, but in the end, he could not resist this temptation.
"Old Li, isn't your cotton-padded jacket Kong Jie's? Don't you need it?”
Ding Wei asked in confusion. He still couldn't tell what Li Yunlong was up to.
"Just follow me!"
Li Yun Long stood up again and brought Ding Wei to a storeroom on the east side of the courtyard. He used the key to open the storeroom and let Ding Wei in to take a look.
When Kong Jie saw the two of them leave the house, he was also very curious. He immediately ran over and looked through the crack in the door of the eastern warehouse.
"Oh my god, so many cotton-padded clothes!”
Kong Jie widened his eyes.
There were 50,000 sets of Japanese cotton-padded clothes and trousers in the warehouse. The inside and outside of these cotton-padded clothes were made of very smooth cloth. The workmanship was very exquisite. It was obvious that they were mass-produced by a very good mechanical factory. There was also a manual process. The cotton inside was all high-quality new cotton, which was especially good at keeping warm and was very thick.
Moreover, there were all kinds of models on it.
This was much better than the cotton-padded clothes from the base's arsenal. Ding Wei instantly fell in love with it. Although it was the cotton-padded clothes of the Japanese, it was not obvious when it was worn in the military uniform.
"Alright, Old Li, I want this military uniform!”
"Sun Desheng is for you!"
Ding Wei didn't even look at Li Yunlong. He only cared about touching the cotton-padded clothes. Ding Wei knew that this business was not losing money.
"Haha, Old Ding, your head isn't carried for nothing, unlike someone who carries a chamber pot on his shoulder!”
Li Yun Long laughed out loud, feeling very happy in his heart.
With Sun Desheng, an excellent cavalry officer, his own cavalry battalion was much easier to manage. An officer was like the soul of the army. It was easy to get a thousand soldiers but hard to get a general. This was the truth.
"Old Li, you're being unreasonable. You took so many cotton clothes from me, and you have so many here.”
Kong Jie ran in and touched his cotton clothes, looking at Li Yunlong with dissatisfaction.
"Alright, if you can give your Battalion Commanders to me, I'll give you cotton clothes too!”
Li Yunlong raised his voice with a hint of anger.
Li Yun Long also liked the few Battalion Commanders under Kong Jie. They were all good at fighting and commanding, not much worse than Zhang Dabiao and Shen Quan.
When Kong Jie heard this, he immediately became anxious.
"Bandits? Fine, I don't want them anymore. You're too unethical!”
Kong Jie's battalion commanders were his precious babies. How could he bear to exchange them for cotton clothes? Moreover, the old cotton clothes of the Independent Regiment could still be used. Kong Jie would not give in on this.
