Others show their swords, I show my missiles!

Just as Li Yunlong's troops were establishing liberated areas and implementing mobile defense strategies, Li Yunlong learned a piece of good news:

Brigadier Chen captured Xiyang, and the subsequent battles to clear out the puppet troops, pull out strongholds, and build artillery towers. The system issued a certain amount of gold coins to Li Yunlong.

It will be distributed at approximately half the rate. In other words, if the independent brigade does the same thing, it will get 386 gold coins; if the [-]th brigade does the same thing, it will receive [-] gold coins.

The explanation given by Xiao Ai is: When our army's own troops, most of the equipment is provided by the system; or is produced using the technology provided by the system, then about half of this unit's record will be included in Li Yunlong's Achievements.

In addition, Xiao Ai also made a special point: if you first meet the conditions for annihilating a brigade for the first time, and then meet the conditions for annihilating a division for the first time, the reward you will get is the same as the reward for annihilating a division for the first time.

It's just the difference between the rewards being distributed in two batches and being distributed in one go.

Therefore, there is no need for Li Yunlong to find the brigade to annihilate first, and then find the division to annihilate them after receiving the reward.

In this way, Li Yunlong's long-planned plan to annihilate a Japanese division in an organized system can be implemented.

But before that, there's something to be done.

We must first solve the problems of roads in the liberated areas and the logistics of the independent brigade.

A modern army requires a large amount of supplies and equipment support during operations.

Only when safeguards are in place can the smooth progress of the battle be ensured.

The requirements for logistics support capabilities are getting higher and higher. More manpower is used for logistical support than frontline combat troops.

In terms of the demand for excellent road conditions, most of the independent brigades are mechanized troops, and it is possible to build heavy-duty combined regiments in the future. The mobility characteristics of these troops are: very strong tactical mobility; very poor strategic mobility.

In local areas, within a few kilometers or dozens of kilometers, armored vehicles can run faster than human legs.

A person can run [-] meters at a maximum speed of more than [-] kilometers; armored vehicles can travel up to [-] or [-] kilometers.

But when maneuvering over long distances, infantry walking on foot are faster than armored troops under the current road conditions.

After road conditions improve in the future, the infantry should also have long-range delivery methods such as helicopters and transport aircraft, and its strategic mobility will still be better than that of heavy armored troops.

The biggest limitation on the independent brigade's armored forces now is road conditions.

If a few wide roads are built, the mechanized troops of the independent brigade can achieve the same mobility as the infantry without aircraft.

Li Yunlong also plans to build another rapid reaction force.

Equip your bike.

With a bicycle, whether carrying people or cargo, it is faster and less laborious than relying on two legs.

And the requirements for roads are lower, so there is no need to worry about traffic jams.

Even country roads are passable. Even mountain roads can be pushed for a walk.

If the road conditions are better, cycling is better than riding a horse.

Riding a horse usually covers [-] to [-] kilometers a day, and occasionally it can exceed [-] kilometers a day; while riding a bicycle, it can run [-] kilometers a day for four or five days in a row without losing strength.

However, when riding a horse, you need to prepare fodder and food for the horse, which also takes up a considerable part of the transportation capacity.

As for bicycles, just lubricate them a little, and bring a set of tire repair tools and materials in dozens of them.

This force can be used to intersperse, detour, and maneuver quickly.

If there were bicycles when fighting Xiangyuan, the special operations group would not need to run a marathon first and then set up positions.

The prerequisite is that you need to be able to ride, which takes a few days to learn.

But this kind of force also has a shortcoming: its protection is poorer, it has no armor protection, and it cannot carry heavy weapons.

Bring at most some recoilless rifles and mortars.

When helicopters become available in the future, we can consider building several air assault regiments with stronger maneuverability, wider combat range, and stronger combat capabilities.

I can only think about it now.

Even if they have bicycles, it will take a few days for soldiers to learn to ride, and about half a year to become familiar with them.

So let’s solve the road problem first.

Li Yunlong first set a small goal in his heart. In order to achieve this small goal, he planned to congratulate Brigadier Chen.

Li Yunlong sorted out his words in his mind and called Brigadier Chen:

"Hello, comrade, this is Li Yunlong, Commander of the Directly Affiliated Independent Brigade. Please ask Brigadier Chen to answer the phone."

"What? What do you want from me? Just tell Brigadier Chen that I, Li Yunlong, congratulate him on getting rich."

"Li Yunlong! Tell me, what's missing? Let's talk about it first: If you want Chu Yunfei's group, you don't have to talk. I can't make the decision."

Hearing that Li Yunlong took the initiative to congratulate him, Brigadier Chen rehearsed all the tricks Li Yunlong might play in his mind.

However, Li Yunlong is well-known as a rich man in the military. What else does he lack?

After much deliberation, only Chu Yunfei's group was left.

So he picked up the phone and took a vaccination first, blocking Li Yunlong's mouth.

"Hahaha, Brigadier Chen, why do you always think the worst of your humble position? I really want to congratulate you!

During the Battle of Xiyang, Brigadier Chen gained a reputation that was envied by his subordinates.

When my subordinates attacked Xiangyuan, they killed a thousand enemies and suffered eight hundred losses.

If I want to say that I have a crush on you, it’s Brigadier Chen!

Why don't you take our brigade over and become the division commander? "

"Okay, okay, just tell me if you have anything to do, I'm still busy!"

"Okay, let me tell you the truth. I want to send you 20 heavy tank transport vehicles. They are in Xiangyuan now. Please send someone to drive them away."

Li Yunlong gave Brigadier Chen a piece of cake and raised a difficult problem at the same time.

"Oh, then I would like to thank Comrade Li Yunlong, you are such a good comrade!

Just store those 20 heavy tank transporters with you. I won't need them recently anyway. "

"Brigadier, are you really not moved?" Li Yunlong asked doubtfully.

"I'm tempted, of course I'm tempted. How wide are these cars, how long are they, and how many tons do they weigh?"

"The length is 20 meters, the width is nearly 3 meters, and the weight is about 5 tons." Li Yunlong replied.

"Oh, that means that if I want to drive these cars away, I have to build the road first, right?

You said that you are a well-known rich man in our army, and you want to congratulate me on getting rich when you build a road? "

"Brigadier Chen, you also know what's going on with our old Li.

I have plenty of equipment for my subordinates, but I really don’t have any money!

Why don't Brigadier Chen ask the headquarters for a favor and let me sell a few cannons for some money? "

Brigadier Chen knew Li Yunlong's system, so there was no need to hide this from him.

Just be careful when you speak so that no one can hear you.

"I'm talking about Li Yunlong, Li Yunlong, why are you so stubborn? No wonder you suffered so many casualties when you attacked Xiangyuan! I don't know how to think differently!"

"Please ask the old chief to give you some advice!"

"You need people to build roads. It's the slack season now. It's not difficult to find people, right?

Aren’t you just short of money? Is there nothing else that can be used as money besides money? Brigadier Chen reminded.
