With Guo Lingfeng's "accomplice", Li Yunlong was full of courage. He directly sent Kong Jie to take a battalion out, and sure enough, he got back hundreds of war horses and a lot of equipment and ammunition. Guo Lingfeng still insisted on reporting the matter to his superiors. This is a private use of a battalion's troops. How can he hide it? Instead of reporting to the division, he directly contacted brigade commander Chen Geng.
Chen Geng is one of the top ten generals of the founding of the country and a famous general with outstanding military achievements in China. At present, he is the brigade commander of the 386 brigade of the 129 division and their immediate boss Li Yunlong.
Chen Geng spoke directly to the lion and asked them to hand over 80% of their horses and equipment. Of course, Guo Lingfeng and Li Yunlong didn't do it. They took turns to negotiate with him. After some bargaining, they finally settled the deal. Li Yunlong handed over the horses and equipment of the two companies, while Chen Geng no longer investigated their private use of troops for military operations. He also promised to find an opportunity to transfer Kong Jie away and straighten him up in a period of time.
"You see, I said I couldn't report it?" when he returned to the earth Kang of the regiment headquarters, Li Yunlong complained, "your boy has to report it. Now, there are only cavalry companies left in the cavalry camp!"
Guo Lingfeng also refused to show weakness and said, "do you think you can hide it? If your superiors blame you and demote you to be a groom, what do I think you should do?"
During the Red Army, Li Yunlong was often demoted for his mistakes, either as a cooking monitor or as a groom. Last time he didn't listen to the orders of his superiors and had to break through. Even if he led the army to defeat Sakata united and killed the captain of Sakata united, it was useless. He was demoted to be the director of the quilt factory for more than a month.
Li Yunlong's deeds have been widely spread for a long time. Even the little soldiers in the regiment in recent months know that even if they talk behind their backs, they have no malice. On the contrary, they think Li Yunlong is a very lovely leader.
However, Guo Lingfeng said Li Yunlong's embarrassment to his face, which still made him feel very shameless, so he angrily said: "when a groom is a groom, even if I am a groom, I will get a cavalry camp for the independent regiment. Isn't that a small contribution?"
Guo Lingfeng sneered at him and said, "you think your superiors won't think about these horses and equipment when you become a groom? I said thank God. At least we still have a company's horses and equipment. It's good to have a cavalry company! Your new regiment has good equipment and ammunition, but do you have a cavalry company?"
Li Yunlong's anger suddenly subsided and turned to joy. "You're right! The most important thing for us now is to set up the cavalry company first. I have an old subordinate in the new regiment named sun Desheng. He used to be the commander of the cavalry company when he was in the cavalry regiment of the 69 army. That's a tiger general! I'll find Ding Wei to transfer him and let him be the commander of the cavalry company!"
Guo Lingfeng said strangely, "Ding Wei is so talkative? If you ask him for someone, he will give it to you? Didn't you bring Zhang Dabiao, the first battalion commander, from the new regiment?"
Li Yunlong said with a smile: "he's so talkative! I asked the teacher for Zhang Dabiao, and he didn't dare not give it! It's different this time. I have to be blackmailed by this boy!"
Guo Lingfeng said with a smile, "what are you going to trade for sun Desheng?"
Li Yunlong calculated and said, "I can give Ding Wei five light machine guns at most, and they can only be crooked handles. I can't give up the Czech style!"
The "crooked handle" of the Japanese army is the Dazheng 11 type light machine gun. It is a 6.5mm caliber light machine gun widely used in Japan in the Second World War. Because its butt bends to the right for easy gill pointing, it is commonly known as the "crooked handle" machine gun in China. The ammunition supply structure of this machine gun is complex, the failure rate is very high, the caliber is too small, the tripod is too long, the fire line is too high, and the position is very forward, which is not convenient to give full play to fire. It is called "the worst light machine gun in history" by later ordnance experts.
During World War II, the Eighth Route Army lacked guns and guns, and it would be good to have "crooked handle", but compared with the "Czech" light machine gun, Li Yunlong obviously felt that "crooked handle" was much worse.
Guo Lingfeng said with a smile: "it's all right. As long as sun Desheng really has the ability, even if he has five Czech styles, we will recognize him!"
Li Yunlong said with a smile: "this is the way to do business. We can't do business at a loss! I've worked with several political commissars before. No one can pee in the same pot with us. You're really angry with us!"
A few days later, sun Desheng was transferred to the independent regiment as the commander of the cavalry company. Li Yunlong really paid a high price - five light machine guns, including three crooked handles and two Czech style.
Even if he had been prepared, Li Yunlong was still in pain after changing people. He urged sun Desheng all day and soon set up the cavalry company. Then sun Desheng tried his best to train hard with more than 100 people riding horses every day. In only one month, the cavalry company was reborn, and the soldiers were no longer astringent when they rode on horses.
Now that there are no combat operations, the independent regiment can only strengthen training every day. Before, they were beaten by Yamamoto's secret service team. The whole regiment was suffocated. They were eager to fight with the devils immediately to wash away the shame.
Kong Jie is even more incarnated as a devil coach, soaking in the training ground every day, so that the soldiers are as tired as dogs every day. At night, except for the soldiers who stood at the night sentry, everyone else slept like a dead pig as soon as they lay down.
Guo Lingfeng also made his own contribution. Even if his military quality was good when he was a soldier, he joined in and took everyone to practice hard. Seeing that the training methods of the soldiers were simple and the training facilities and equipment were very simple, he took everyone to build a modern obstacle field and repaired many training facilities such as the horizontal bar and parallel bar, which made the soldiers more efficient in training.
Li Yunlong likes bayonet fighting very much. He has always been indifferent to the level of bayonet fighting of the Japanese army. Although the Japanese army's bayonet fighting skills and tactics in 1940 were far higher than those of Chinese soldiers, he just didn't believe in evil. He insisted that his soldiers should be good at bayonet fighting, so bayonet fighting became a compulsory subject for everyone every day.
This training subject Guo Lingfeng can also play a great role. He integrated some Shaolin stick skills into bayonet fighting and made up more than a dozen practical killing moves. The soldiers have made great progress after training. They call the little devils about to face a great disaster.
Meanwhile, Guo Lingfeng, Li Yunlong and Kong Jie once again planned two small military operations and intercepted the Japanese transport team, which also brought a lot of equipment and materials to the independent regiment.
Guo Lingfeng didn't understand why the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army were unwilling to pick up submachine guns on the battlefield, but were more willing to pick up the "38 big covers". He thought, how powerful is the submachine gun? Don't worry about your little devil. I just have to hold a submachine gun for a while. Won't I solve it?
It's not that I don't want to use a submachine gun. I really can't afford it! The Eighth Route Army is short of guns, guns, medicine and almost everything. This bullet is expensive! You're happy with a burst of submachine gun, but how can you get enough bullets?
Therefore, the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army now prefer to use the "38 big cover" and "medium formal" individual weapons. The former has a very accurate firing due to the length of the gun, and can also have a great advantage in bayonet fighting; The latter has larger caliber and slightly stronger power.
Not to mention the Eighth Route Army, even the Kuomintang troops rarely used automatic weapons such as submachine guns during this period. This is also a problem. They can't afford to waste bullets!
Li Yunlong and his officers are basically equipped with German made 20 ring shell guns. This kind of pistol is very heavy, not easy to aim, and has a large recoil force. It is a kind of pistol that is very difficult to control. It is hardly used in Europe. But Li Yunlong and they all think this pistol is good, because it is powerful and has a large loading capacity. It's not easy to aim. Isn't it like playing with more practice?
While the independent regiment was making preparations, a major event occurred in the hinterland of the Eighth Route Army base area.
