Chapter 274 Where are we going now?!
He never dared to imagine that the Ninth Regiment would one day be as well-armed as the Japanese devils!
But Qin Long hadn't finished speaking yet. In Huang Liang's dazed expression, Qin Long continued to "persuade":
"As for bullets, we don't need too many for each light machine gun. How about 5000 rounds? That should be enough. 1000 million rounds of bullets, plus the rifle bullets, makes 1250 million rounds. Let's round it up and move 1500 million rounds."
"As for cantaloupe grenades, 6 is a bit too few. Let's assume the Ninth Regiment has 1.5 people. That means each person needs 50 grenades. That won't take too long. 75, and then round it up to 80."
"Let me tell you, the things above aren't that important. The most important things are below. Take the heavy machine guns, for example. Shouldn't they be assigned to the platoons? With 1.5 men in the Ninth Regiment, we need at least 500! And as for machine gun ammunition, 500 million rounds!"
Huang Liang’s mouth is now open so wide that two goose eggs can be stuffed in!
Good guy!
He looked at Qin Long and calmly asked him to carry back 500 pheasant necks and 500 million machine gun bullets!
Huang Liang really didn't know whether to cry or laugh!
Do you want it?! Yes! A heavy machine gun! Who wouldn't want one?!
You should know that even among the main forces of our army, a regiment equipped with three heavy machine guns is considered to be the best equipped!
Qin Long just asked him to equip a regiment with how many heavy machine guns?! 500?!
Even a Type A division of the Japanese army wouldn't be able to afford 500 heavy machine guns, right?!
Huang Liang looked at Qin Long and really wanted to say, "Old Qin, are you really not afraid of starving me to death?"
But what he never expected was!
Qin Long thought for a moment and said:
"No, there's bound to be some losses in this kind of battle. 800 guns! That's right! That's enough! Bring more bullets too. I think 1000 million rounds is enough!"
"Lao Qin! Enough! Really enough!"
Huang Liang really didn't dare let Qin Long continue speaking.
He was afraid that if Qin Long continued talking, Qin Long would ask their Ninth Regiment to move the entire Japanese logistics warehouse back!
But Qin Long obviously hasn't finished his "sales pitch":
"We're just scratching the surface! Old Huang, listen to me! Heavy firepower suppression is crucial. Our comrades are no worse than the Japs in terms of fighting skills. The only difference is in firepower support. Do you understand?"
"So mortars must be equipped to each company. 12 mortars per company is absolutely necessary! As for mortar ammunition, 200 rounds per mortar should be enough for a while."
"and many more!"
Just as Qin Long was about to continue "persuading", Huang Liang interrupted:
"Lao Qin, the 4th Regiment only needs to equip each battalion with mortars. A battalion should have a maximum of four mortars! Really! That's enough! Otherwise, I really wouldn't dare to move this thing!"
It’s not that Huang Liang is being pretentious, it’s just that all the main regiments of our army currently have top-notch equipment if they can be equipped with 6 mortars!
Huang Liang really didn't dare to ask for too much. No matter how much he asked for, he wouldn't be able to keep it when the time came...
"alright."
Seeing Huang Liang's determined face, Qin Long said with regret:
"Then equip it to the battalion level. Based on the 1.5 men in the Ninth Regiment, we'll have 15 reinforced battalions, 60 Type 90 100mm light mortars. Taking combat losses into account, how about 2000? mortar rounds."
"Then there are the grenade launchers. Old Huang, you need to deploy them in platoons. A platoon has five, and with 5 men, there are 1.5 platoons. 500 makes a total of 2500. Each grenade launcher has 3000 rounds, so that's exactly 100 rounds."
"Of course, you'll have to bring back some of the Type 48 infantry guns. They're very useful for destroying Japanese artillery towers and strongholds. How about a 1.5-gun artillery regiment? For a reinforced regiment of men like you, an artillery regiment isn't too much, right?"
"Yes, indeed."
Huang Liang, who had been brainwashed by Qin Long's extremely exaggerated data, nodded.
Compared with data that often numbers in the thousands, tens of thousands, or even hundreds of millions, the number 48 does sound pitifully small.
"Okay then, it's settled!"
Qin Long saw this and immediately made the decision:
"It's hard to capture these guns, so I'm giving you 48 Type 1000 infantry guns with rounds of ammunition each."
"Let's get a total of 5. That's it!"
At this time, He Ping stepped forward and poked Huang Liang:
"Captain, those are ghost cannons. 48 of them! 5 rounds! Our Ninth Regiment really fired them this time!"
"Yeah, it did...wait!"
It was not until then that Huang Liang reacted!
That's a ghost cannon! Not a mortar or a grenade launcher!
48 doors?!
"hiss!!!"
Huang Liang took a breath of cold air!
If his brigade commander knew he had 48 ghost cannons and 5 rounds of ammunition...
"Hey! Old Huang! We just agreed on this!"
Qin Long saw Huang Liang wanted to regret and immediately said:
"A man's word is as good as his bond! You can't go back on your word!"
Huang Liang also came to his senses at this time. Qin Long was afraid that he would not be able to empty the Japanese's logistics warehouse, so he was stuffing things into his arms.
"Okay! I won't regret it!"
Finally, Huang Liang nodded.
He accepted his fate!
Even if he couldn't keep these 48 ghost cannons and 5 shells, it would be good to warm his hands!
"Hey! That's right!"
Having successfully achieved his sales goal, Qin Long said directly to He Ping:
"Comrade He Ping, you heard me and your regiment commander discuss the amount of weapons and ammunition. Go and move them quickly."
"Remember! I don't mind moving more, but I won't accept moving less!"
"Yes! Promise to complete the mission!"
He Ping happily went to ask the soldiers of the Ninth Regiment to continue moving things.
"Old Qin!"
Huang Liang held Qin Long's hands tightly, and tears welled up in the corners of his eyes!
He really didn't know what to say to express his gratitude to Qin Long!
Although he knew very well that a large part of these things would have to be handed over at that time.
But even after handing it over, the remaining ones are enough to make the Ninth Regiment the top main force among our army's main forces!
"Old Huang, there's nothing more to say. Just kill more devils in the future."
Qin Long naturally knew what Huang Liang wanted to express, so he directly gave Huang Liang an outlet for his emotions.
Sure enough, Huang Liang nodded heavily:
"Okay! I will definitely kill more devils!"
"Captain, artillery observation post No. 9 reports that they have spotted a group suspected to be our guerrillas, marching rapidly towards Zhangjiakou!"
At this moment, Qin Long heard a report from the artillery observation post through the intercom on his waist.
"Old Huang, you are quite familiar with the local armed forces here, shall we go and meet them together?"
In order to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings, Qin Long decided to call Huang Liang.
Huang Liang was eager for Qin Long to find him something to do, and nodded on the spot:
"Row!"
In this way, more and more local armed forces arrived in Zhangjiakou one after another.
Under Qin Long's deception... Ugh! Persuasion.
Every local armed force that came to support Qin Long was eventually filled to the brim with him.
Each person was equipped with two or even three rifles, and all the comrades from the local armed forces left Zhangjiakou with happy faces.
However, at this moment, Lao Li's voice suddenly came from the intercom:
"Captain Qin! Great news!"
"I just received a telegram from above. Our comrades have finally determined the current hiding place of the New Year pictures!"
"Well, I also found out the whereabouts of the New Year pictures from the little devil."
Qin Long immediately said:
"The Japanese said the New Year pictures are in Langfang now, and I can be sure they didn't lie."
But what Qin Long didn't expect was that Lao Li's tone was full of surprise:
"Ah? That's not right! The hiding place of the New Year pictures mentioned in the telegram sent from above is not Langfang!"
