"200 light and heavy machine guns?" Wei Dayong asked, "Including the 15 outside our independent regiment, there are less than 140, right?"

Li Yunlong said: "In addition to our independent regiment participating in this battle, the New First Regiment and the New Second Regiment will also join in."

"Three regiments?" Wei Dayong said, "Our one regiment is enough. If we have three regiments, even if the Black Island Alliance is completely wiped out, there will not be much oil and water on average."

"Would I do that stupid thing?" Li Yunlong said, "I just gave some soup to Kong Jie and Ding Wei. After all, they are old comrades in arms. They are living a difficult life now. I am now prosperous, and I can bring them with me.

."

It was such a good thing that Li Yunlong did not lead Cheng Shifa of the 772nd Regiment. First of all, the 772nd Regiment was the main regiment, and its soldiers and equipment were supplemented by the above. The two regiments of Ding Wei and Kong Jie had to rely on themselves.

Secondly, the last time they attacked Guanshan Town, Cheng Shifa actually fought with him, which made Li Yunlong angry just thinking about it.

Li Yunlong added: "Ding Wei and Kong Jie's new first regiment and new second regiment will organize all the light and heavy machine guns into a temporary machine gun reinforcement company to participate in the battle."

Wei Dayong asked: "Then they don't carry bullets themselves?"

"Then they must do it themselves." Li Yunlong said, "I won't do it if you give them bullets."

"For 200 light and heavy machine guns, if one magazine contains 30 rounds of ammunition, one magazine for all machine guns would be 6,000 rounds."

"There are 15 Min-24 heavy machine guns. If you count 250 rounds per magazine, one magazine will equal 3,750 rounds."

"That is to say, if all the machine guns fire at the same time, each magazine or belt will consume nearly 10,000 bullets."

"To be on the safe side, we must prepare at least 200,000 rounds of machine gun ammunition for this battle."

The light and heavy machine guns of the independent regiment were all captured, and the models were naturally diverse. The heavy machine guns included the Type 92, the Jin-made Type 38, and the borrowed Min-24 heavy machine guns. The light machine guns included the Czech type and the Taisho 11 type.

Form 96 etc.

"200,000 rounds of machine gun ammunition..." Li Yunlong frowned, but he was quickly calculating in his mind, weighing the pros and cons.

Before the attack began, the independent regiment had more than 300,000 rounds of ammunition. It captured Guanshan Town, Shipan and Yushe County, and consumed a total of about 200,000 rounds of ammunition.

After three battles, almost 400,000 rounds of ammunition were seized. After excluding the 100,000 rounds of ammunition handed over to the division headquarters, the Independent Regiment now still has more than 400,000 rounds of ammunition in stock.

Although 1,000 guns were handed over to the division, each gun also came with 100 rounds of ammunition, Li Yunlong did not discount this.

In the most difficult times, even the Eighth Route Army-level units could only fire a few thousand rounds of ammunition in a battle, so they had to rush forward and engage in hand-to-hand bayonet combat with the Japanese. Otherwise, the disadvantages of weapons and ammunition would be infinitely magnified.

A Japanese infantry regiment has 2 million rounds of standing ammunition. Compared with the Japanese infantry regiment's ammunition reserve, the independent regiment's ammunition reserve is still too small.

This time, in order to deal with the Black Island Cavalry Regiment, in addition to consuming so many bullets, we also had to consume a lot of artillery shells.

This made Li Yunlong hesitate. He spent all the money of the independent group. If he didn't get anything, wouldn't his work be in vain?

Regardless of whether the Black Island Cavalry Regiment can be annihilated, even if it can be led into an ambush circle and the horses and Japanese soldiers are shot and killed, how much advantage can the independent regiment gain from this battle, consumption minus seizures?

Li Yunlong's eyes were darting around, and Wei Dayong naturally saw what Li Yunlong was thinking.

Unlike Li Yunlong, his idea was that even if he could not completely annihilate the Black Island Cavalry Regiment, even if he defeated or wiped out most of them, it would be worthwhile to consume some ammunition.

But Li Yunlong's thinking was that he was a rich man. Before every battle, he would calculate his own capital regardless of anything else.

Wei Dayong then said to Li Yunlong: "Commander, our ammunition consumption can be attributed to the Japanese!"

"What do you mean?" Li Yunlong asked.

"Commander, think about it." Wei Dayong said, "The Black Island Cavalry Regiment plans to station in Yushe County for a long time to intimidate our Taihang base area. How can it not have ammunition reserves?"

"What do you mean?" Li Yunlong hesitated, "Let's attack Yushe County again?"

Wei Dayong said: "That's right, if we can kill most of the Black Island Cavalry Regiment in the wild and turn around to attack the county town, firstly, the cavalry is not as good as the infantry in defending the city, and secondly, we have experience in attacking cities, and it won't take much time.

We can capture Yushe County again."

Li Yunlong's eyes flashed: "The wartime ammunition reserve of a cavalry regiment, based on two base figures, is at least 300,000 rounds of ammunition!"

"Almost." Wei Dayong said, "Besides, preparing 200,000 rounds of ammunition is just to be prepared for any emergencies. It won't consume that much. As long as we can win, it will be a sure profit for our independent group."

"It makes sense." Li Yunlong nodded and said, "Let's go to the terrain you mentioned in the next two days."

The division commander only lent him these 15 Civilian 24 heavy machine guns for 15 days, which meant that the Black Island Regiment must be killed within 15 days.

Wei Dayong thought for a moment and said, "Let's wait until the Yunlong Sword is forged in the arsenal. Bring the cavalry company with you. Even if we encounter a Japanese cavalry group, we won't be afraid."

"Okay." Li Yunlong nodded and said, "Then wait for Yunlong Dao. By the way, 200 recruits from the teaching regiment have arrived today. They are all good recruits. I will allocate 100 recruits to your special operations battalion. You must use these soldiers

Bring it to me!"

"Yes, I promise to take care of the new recruits!"

Wei Dayong looked slightly happy. After three battles, the special operations battalion had lost more than 120 combat and non-combat personnel.

With the addition of these 100 new soldiers, it is like providing help in the snow for the special operations battalion.

These are recruits trained by the teaching regiment. They do not need to be mobilized or trained and can go directly to the battlefield.

The soldiers recruited by the independent regiment often need several months of training and ideological education before they can go to the battlefield.

Of course, no matter whether it is a new soldier or a veteran, only those who have been on the battlefield and been baptized by artillery fire can effectively form combat effectiveness.

"The new recruits are at the farm in the village." Li Yunlong said, "When you go back later, you can pick the ones you want, but you can only take half of them with you."

"Yes!" Wei Dayong said, "Captain, if nothing happens, I will go back first."

"Go ahead." Li Yunlong said, "Remember, don't let anyone know that we are going to attack the Black Island Cavalry Regiment."

Currently, only three people know about the Independent Regiment's preparations to deal with the Black Island Alliance. Li Yunlong, Zhao Gang and Wei Dayong, not even Zhang Dabiao and Sun Desheng know about it.

"Understood!" Wei Dayong saluted Li Yunlong and walked out.
