Liang Jian: Lao Li, I'm really not a military expert

Chapter 117 I'm not bragging, I'm more famous than the leader in Team 2! 3-word chapter

"Political Commissar Zhao, the regiment commander is back and has brought back a lot of spoils. You should go and have a look!" Guard Xiao Wang rushed into the command center and shouted.

Zhao Gang, who was looking at the map, heard the news that Li Yunlong had returned, and hurriedly stood up from his stool and asked in surprise: "Xiao Wang, what you said is true, Captain Li is really back!"

"Political Commissar, when did I, Xiao Wang, ever tell a lie? The regiment commander has already arrived at Zhaojiayu. Deputy Regiment Commander Xing arranged for me to come and inform the political commissar. You should go over and take a look!"

Zhao Gang put down the pencil in his hand and hurried to the village entrance with his guard Xiao Wang, just in time to hear Li Yunlong bragging to Xing Zhiguo.

"Old Xing, I'm not bragging. Our team has expanded three times along the way. We also captured a Japanese material transfer station and seized equipment from three squadrons, but we have fewer artillery pieces. We only seized ten Type 36 infantry guns in total. We have more mortars, a total of 60. I don't even care about grenade launchers, let alone light and heavy machine guns. There are of them in total. I'm really a local tycoon now!"

"I'm not afraid to tell you in secret that we have also captured a Zero fighter from the Japanese. You must keep this a secret and don't spread it to anyone. If the Japanese find out, they will be furious!"

Zhao Gang did not hear the last sentence clearly, but he heard the previous words clearly. He was also shocked and stunned. He did not expect that Li Yunlong would bring back so many good things this time. The weapons and equipment that had troubled the reconstruction of the independent regiment were solved at once. It must be said that Li Yunlong was really a timely relief.

"Captain Li, you are really a timely rain. Today, Deputy Captain Xing and I were worried about weapons and ammunition. I didn't expect you to solve it directly. With so much equipment distributed, our independent regiment will be fully equipped and fully staffed immediately, and restore to 80% of its previous combat effectiveness. As long as the new recruits experience a few more battles and transform into veterans, the combat effectiveness of our independent regiment will be taken to a higher level than before!"

Li Yunlong listened to the familiar words, shook hands with Zhao Gang, and said proudly: "Political Commissar Zhao, I stayed in the enemy's war zone to fight the Japanese because I took into account that our independent regiment was short of guns and ammunition after the anti-mopping-up operation. We ate up several Japanese squadrons and seized a large amount of weapons and equipment. It will not delay the reconstruction of our independent regiment. All this is within my expectations!"

Lin Zhenhua also came forward and boasted on behalf of Li Yunlong: "Political Commissar Zhao, Commander Li and I killed more than 1000 Japanese soldiers this time. We wiped out an entire Japanese battalion. The Japanese finally sent a company to encircle us, but we still fooled them. I also shot down three Japanese fighter planes, and I earned the reputation of being a fighter killer!"

"Student Lin, why are you everywhere? Why are you interrupting me again? I finally found an opportunity to brag about my achievements, but you overshadowed me. You shot down three Zero fighters, which is even more enviable than me taking down a squadron of Japs!"

Zhao Gang didn't expect that the two funny guys of the independent regiment would start arguing again, so he quickly tried to smooth things over, saying, "Student Lin, Captain Li, you have been traveling for so many days, and you have to avoid the Japanese detection along the way. Hurry up and come back to the regiment headquarters with me. I have arranged for the kitchen team to prepare the food, and we are waiting for you two to eat!"

When Lin Zhenhua heard that the food was ready, he had no time to brag and hurriedly dragged Li Yunlong to the regiment headquarters. When the two of them arrived at the regiment headquarters, they saw the sumptuous food on the table, as well as two bottles of sweet potato wine and two bottles of sake. Li Yunlong's pretending to be serious could no longer be maintained, and he quickly took the bowl and poured himself half a bowl of wine, and called everyone to eat quickly.

Zhao Gang, Xing Zhiguo, Zhang Dabiao and Shen Quan each found a seat and started talking while eating. Lin Zhenhua was too lazy to talk nonsense with them. He kept picking up the food on the table with his chopsticks. After a while, his stomach was full. He found a toothpick to pick his teeth before joining the conversation.

"Captain Li, you have such a small record and you still have the nerve to brag about it. I led my men to wipe out two squadrons of the Japanese. I even wiped out most of the Japanese special forces. I am not bragging. It is a real record. If you don't believe me, go ask the soldiers. I am more famous than you in the second team!"

"When we attacked Zhangzhuang, if I hadn't been flying a fighter plane to cover your attack to the city gate, your losses would have been so small. Later, a Zero fighter of the Japanese came to check the situation, and I killed them with a little trick. I'm not bragging, I did it right under your nose, Captain Li!"

Before, Li Yunlong really didn't know that Lin Zhenhua had achieved such a great victory. He thought that Lin Zhenhua had been fighting small battles and attacked one or two Japanese artillery towers. Who would have thought that this guy actually wiped out two Japanese squadrons? He was really stunned. He asked in disbelief: "Boy, are you bragging? Why haven't I heard you mention it before?"

Lin Zhenhua wiped his nose, thinking that this action was very cool, and replied nonchalantly: "With just this little achievement, what is there to brag about? Capturing the Japanese general is worthy of my bragging. Such a small achievement can be done casually, it's nothing!"

Li Yunlong was really taken in by Lin Zhenhua. He no longer had the heart to brag, so he changed the subject and asked about the current situation of the independent regiment: "Political Commissar Zhao, tell me about the current situation of the independent regiment. Zhang Dabiao also said vaguely before that our independent regiment suffered heavy losses. How is the independent regiment doing after such a long time?"

Zhao just wanted to say it, but he never found the chance. Now that Li Yunlong asked, he hurriedly introduced: "Before the sweep, our independent regiment had more than 2200 people. After the sweep, there were only more than 1000 people left. The reduction of the troops was nearly 1800%, which can be said to be a heavy loss. After we arrived in Zhaojiayu, we just settled down for ten days. According to the order of the brigade, we recruited a group of new soldiers. Now the total number of our independent regiment has been restored to 600. Including the 2400 people you brought back, our independent regiment now has a total strength of people."

Hearing this number, Li Yunlong's face was not only not happy, but also gloomy. After nearly three months, he was very dissatisfied with this result. He criticized bluntly: "Political Commissar Zhao, Deputy Commander Xing, you two are too honest. This time our independent regiment suffered such a big loss, largely because of insufficient troops. I told you two before that you should find a way to recruit more new soldiers, but you only recruited 800 people in total. It's really embarrassing for me!"

"You haven't achieved much in the past three months. We haven't recruited enough soldiers, nor have we got enough weapons and equipment. We don't even have enough uniforms for the new recruits. Some of them are wearing civilian clothes before they joined the army. Fortunately, I brought back some cloth this time. I will quickly arrange for people to make new uniforms. I will also modify the Japanese cotton shoes and distribute them to the soldiers!"

"You never let me rest from worry every day. Normally, when I make a small mistake, you two like to complain, but when it comes to big things, neither of you can be trusted!"

Lin Zhenhua was watching the show from the side, but when he saw Li Yunlong getting more and more excited when he got the chance to scold, he quickly interrupted and said, "Captain Li, let's talk about the confidentiality of the Zero fighter first. I have disassembled the Zero fighter into parts, drawn a blueprint, and created the illusion of an explosion. It should be able to deceive some people with ulterior motives."

"However, judging from the intelligence capabilities of the Japanese, this kind of thing cannot be concealed for long. Unless this Zero fighter does not appear in the next few years, this hidden danger can be solved! However, given the Japanese's nature of preferring to kill the wrong person rather than let him go, our independent regiment is likely to become a thorn in the eyes of the Japanese. We must strengthen the independent regiment as soon as possible to deal with the Japanese's siege!"

Li Yunlong was awakened by Lin Zhenhua with a basin of cold water and immediately fell into deep thought. He was so busy being angry and bragging that he forgot about important things and almost missed a big event.

"Mr. Lin, do you have any good suggestions? We know nothing about fighter jets, so we want to hear your opinion first!"

Lin Zhenhua did not answer directly. He considered his words and said boldly: "The Zero fighter performed very well on the battlefield and once achieved a record of 12 to 0. As long as we understand this fighter and imitate it, then our Eighth Route Army will have the world's top fighter. Even if the performance is slightly worse than the devil's Zero, it is enough for air defense operations!"

"I have carefully studied the parts of the Zero fighter. There are only two most difficult aspects for us. One is the engine technology. If I give you enough time, I can break through and even produce an engine with more than 950 horsepower. However, due to our limited industrial strength, according to my estimation, being able to produce an engine with 800 horsepower is already the limit, unless we can get more advanced machine tools!"

"On the other hand, the production technology of aluminum alloy is not that difficult for us. The key is that our base is short of electricity. I plan to find a river in the base to build a small hydroelectric power station to electrolyze aluminum. Using other methods to produce aluminum is more expensive and we simply cannot afford it. Only electrolysis is the most economical method!"

"Of course there is another problem, that is oil. I remember that our Eighth Route Army controls an oil field. Let's see if we can ask the headquarters to find a way to support us with a batch of fuel. With fuel, we can let the pilots conduct long-term flight training."

"Political Commissar Zhao, please find me a hidden cave and temporarily hide the disassembled Zero fighter inside. This matter can only be done secretly, and no one is allowed to leak it except for a few insiders!"
