Chapter 43: Supply Station
The Brigade Commander’s words weren’t finished when Zhang Wanhe couldn’t help but speak up: “I’m saying, Brigade Commander Chen, you can’t be so greedy. Looking at your stance, you’re planning to take all the cannons from behind? What about the other troops?”
“Old Zhang, I’m also following the rules.” The Brigade Commander said righteously.
Li Muzhi spoke to Zhang Wanhe: “Minister Zhang, the rules we’ve set can’t be changed casually.”
“Li Muzhi, aren’t you worried that his 386th Brigade will really take all the cannons from behind?” Zhang Wanhe said.
“I’m not worried.” Li Muzhi answered Zhang Wanhe very affirmatively.
In other words, if the 386th Brigade can take all the cannons, it further proves they can bring more resources to our arsenal, which we couldn’t ask for more.
Of course.
If the 386th Brigade takes all the weapons, it really wouldn’t be appropriate for the other troops to leave empty-handed.
No problem, we are people who came from later generations, we have plenty of ways to solve this issue.
Seeing Li Muzhi so confident, Zhang Wanhe didn’t say anything more.
After all, didn’t the Headquarters Leader say that on military industry matters, whatever Li Muzhi requests, he must cooperate unconditionally.
Zhang Wanhe then said to the Brigade Commander: “Alright then, I’ll immediately get people to count the money.”
The Brigade Commander took out roast chicken and wine, and said to Li Muzhi: “Li Muzhi, I happen to have roast chicken here, shall we drink one?”
“I heard you have health issues and can’t drink alcohol?” Li Muzhi asked the Brigade Commander in return.
The Brigade Commander had once suffered electric torture, leaving him with hidden injuries, so he couldn’t drink.
“Today we’re happy.” The Brigade Commander laughed.
“Roast chicken is fine to eat, but let’s skip the wine.” Li Muzhi still said, “I don’t drink, afraid it will affect my brain.”
“You’re right, you’re right, your brain is now the hope of our army, we can’t let it be affected.” The Brigade Commander quickly put away the wine.
Zhang Wanhe wasn’t polite and reached out: “Brigade Commander Chen, you brought this wine, you won’t take it back again, right?”
“Old Zhang, make sure to count the amount of money clearly.” The Brigade Commander still gave the wine to Zhang Wanhe and gave him a roast chicken.
So much money, counting it is a tough task.
“Don’t worry, not a single cent will be off.” Zhang Wanhe nodded heavily.
Next, Zhang Wanhe led people to count the money, while Li Muzhi and the Brigade Commander ate the roast chicken.
Li Muzhi asked curiously: “Brigade Commander Chen, where did this money come from?”
“Had Li Yunlong attack Heyuan County Town, and snatch the money house and foreign firm in the county town.” The Brigade Commander answered.
“Regimental Commander Li is truly a hero, a strong general has no weak soldiers under him.” Li Muzhi was praising the Brigade Commander as well.
Li Muzhi hadn’t expected that to get money, the Brigade Commander dared to have Li Yunlong attack the county town.
Li Muzhi even more hadn’t expected that it wasn’t the Brigade Commander’s order, but Li Yunlong going to fight on his own.
“Haha.” The Brigade Commander was greatly pleased by Li Muzhi’s fine words.
Zhang Wanhe was somewhat surprised: “The money I borrowed from people to buy fertilizer from the Japanese invaders definitely went into the Japanese invaders’ money house. You robbed the money house, isn’t that equivalent to snatching the money back again?”
“Old Zhang, let me tell you, one day in the future, you’ll worry because you have too much money, believe it or not!” The Brigade Commander laughed to Zhang Wanhe.
This kid Li Yunlong brought Ding Wei to strongly attack the county town to rob the money house, letting the Brigade Commander discover a new path to wealth!
“I couldn’t ask for more.” Zhang Wanhe said seriously, “I seek to worry!”
“Haha, Old Zhang, just wait, it will come soon.” The Brigade Commander laughed heartily.
The roast chicken was finished, the sky was almost dark, Zhang Wanhe had also counted the money and reported the amount to the Brigade Commander: “This money will be recorded on the account first. Next time you come to get things or cannonballs, deduct from it.”
Coming to get cannons requires money.
And cannonballs aren’t free either, they cost money.
Moreover, these cannonballs are consumables, the more you fire, the greater the consumption.
“Fine, fine.” The Brigade Commander noted the amount, then stood up to take leave, “I’m quite busy over there, won’t stay longer, no need to see me off, I’m off.”
“Kong Jie, work hard.” Before leaving, the Brigade Commander still greeted Kong Jie.
“Yes, Brigade Commander, I will definitely work hard.” Kong Jie saluted the Brigade Commander.
The Brigade Commander led the guard troops and hurried back.
Don’t think the Brigade Commander stayed carefree at logistics, actually he was anxious inside.
This kid Li Yunlong still didn’t know what trouble he would cause, better hurry back to Brigade Headquarters to keep watch.
Once Brigade Commander Chen left, Zhang Wanhe was also swift and decisive: “Li Muzhi, I’m off, need to have people take the money to buy fertilizer.”
“Mm, Minister Zhang, take care.”
Kong Jie also said to Li Muzhi: “Li Muzhi, I’ll continue going to coal mining.”
“Good.”
……
Japanese Army certain supply station
Li Yunlong brought Ding Wei, under the cover of night, arrived nearby this supply station.
Ding Wei, coming from the 28th Regiment side, wasn’t familiar with the situation here, looking at the supply station, suspiciously: “Old Li, for this next job, you’re not just attacking a small supply station, right?”
“Old Ding, don’t underestimate this supply station, it’s specially for fueling the Japanese invaders’ mechanized troops.” Li Yunlong explained, “Our Border Region Arsenal’s generator needs fuel oil, don’t we need to get some oil back!”
By then, the Brigade Commander brought back the sugar, to continue production of Hell Cannon shells, we definitely can’t let this generator stop running due to fuel issues.
Otherwise, stopping production halfway on the shells, what’s the difference from being choked.
This Hell Cannon is too satisfying to use, old Li doesn’t want the shells to run out.
Ding Wei suddenly understood: “Fuel is very important to the Japanese invaders. Of course, it’s even more important to us, you kid have sharp eyes, targeted, robbing very accurately.”
Remembering something, Ding Wei said: “No wonder you said there aren’t many Japanese invaders here, your feint attack on the county town was also to deliberately draw away the Japanese invaders’ mechanized troops and other Japanese reinforcements, right?”
Once we attack the supply station, Japanese invaders from all directions will definitely come to reinforce, especially the Japanese invaders’ mechanized troops.
Without fuel, mechanized troops lose combat value, so these mechanized troops will desperately rush to protect the fuel!
And when we attacked Heyuan County Town, the Japanese invaders’ strongholds in this area all drew troops to reinforce Heyuan County Town, mechanized troops went too, haven’t come back yet.
So, if we attack the supply station now, Japanese reinforcements basically can’t draw more, even if squeezed, not much.
“Hahaha.” Li Yunlong laughed heartily, nodding: “Exactly, especially the little Japanese invaders’ mechanized troops must be drawn away, those wheels run not slow. Even if we have four legs, we can’t outrun. Without drawing them away, can’t do the job.”
“Li Tong Bridge is blown, from the map, mechanized troops have to run back from Heyuan County Town side to reinforce, they also have to take a big detour, by the time they detour to reinforce, we’ll be done long ago!” Ding Wei laughed.
“Hahaha, Old Ding, let’s get to work.”
