After entering Shuozhou City, Xiao Yun didn't bother with anything else and went straight to Li Yunlong and Kong Jie.
"Commander, congratulations on getting rich!"
As soon as they met, Li Yunlong said with a chuckle.
Xiao Yun: ???
It should have been him congratulating Li Yunlong on getting rich, but the heavens have reversed this!
"Your mouth is practically reaching your ears, did you eat bee droppings?"
"Commander, guess how much loot we got in this battle?"
Not counting the damaged ones, there are over 600 Type 38 Arisaka rifles, over 20 Type 92 light machine guns, 13 Type 92 heavy machine guns, 23 Nambu pistols, 20 or so grenade launchers, 300,000 rounds of ammunition, over 2,000 Type 24 grenades, and over 700 grenades for grenade launchers.
Besides that, we captured 5 of the Japanese anti-tank guns, along with over 100 shells for them. Originally, there were 6 guns, but one was blown up by a mortar shell.
There were 6 destroyed Type 92 infantry cannons, the brothers from the artillery battalion studied them, and dismantled them all into parts, and by piecing them together, they could make two good ones. But there were no shells, all of them were blown up!
300,000 jin of grain, 6,000 bolts of cloth, two boxes of medicine, over 40 horses, and over 100 mules.
Over 1 million silver dollars, over 300 gold bars, and some colorful banknotes and ancient artifacts, I don't know what they are for, the soldiers have all collected them!
Right, there is also the machine equipment you specifically instructed to get, the soldiers have also found a batch, but I don't know if it's what you want.
Hearing Li Yunlong's report of the spoils, even Xiao Yun, who had seen many things, couldn't help but smile slightly.
A sudden wealth!
Only by taking a major city can you have such a rich haul!
Let's not talk about the weapons and equipment, aside from the two Type 92 infantry cannons and the 5 anti-tank guns.
For the 399th Brigade, the rest wasn't really that important to Xiao Yun.
But the massive amounts of grain and cloth, it's hard to get a lot of these by ambushing Japanese supply convoys or attacking strongholds.
Even ambushing convoys and attacking strongholds, how many times would you have to do that to get so much?
Not to mention the silver dollars and gold bars, don't think the Eighth Route Army doesn't need money.
The operation of factories in the rear, the building of various intelligence networks, the procurement of scarce materials, and the food, clothing, and daily necessities of the soldiers, all of these require hard-earned silver dollars!
Medicine is even more precious, the Eighth Route Army is short of money, but even more short of medicine.
I don't know how many excellent soldiers, after being injured, have been left permanently disabled or died due to lack of medical treatment.
While two boxes of medicine are not much, if used well, they are enough to save the lives of many Eighth Route Army soldiers.
Of course, while all of the above are good, they are not the most important in Xiao Yun's eyes.
The most important thing is the machine equipment, these machine equipment are crucial for whether the 399th Brigade can become self-sufficient in the future.
No guns, no cannons, the enemy will make them for us, it sounds cool, but behind it hides how sad and helpless it is.
If we can produce them ourselves, who would want to risk their lives for a chance to get some loot.
And many times, the amount of loot from a battle is not even enough to cover what is consumed.
.....................
"Alright Li Yunlong, you did a good job, all the loot will be turned over to the brigade first, and then distributed according to the situation!"
Xiao Yun patted Li Yunlong's shoulder.

Rich!
This time, it's really rich!
The loot obtained from taking Shuozhou is already an astronomical figure for the 399th Brigade.
Through the congratulations on getting rich, the rewards returned are even more numerous.
In terms of weapons and equipment, a full-strength Japanese infantry regiment has over 3,000 men.
With these equipment, Xiao Yun can completely expand the New 1st Regiment and the Independent Regiment into large regiments of 2,500 people like the 811th and 812th Regiments.
Moreover, it's the kind where light machine guns are assigned to platoons, heavy machine guns are assigned to companies, grenade launchers are assigned to squads, armed to the teeth.
This is just the light weapons, as for the heavy weapons, an infantry regiment has three infantry battalions, and each infantry battalion has an artillery platoon equipped with two Type 92 infantry cannons.
In addition, the regiment has a directly subordinate artillery battalion equipped with six Type 92 infantry cannons.
The entire regiment has a total of 12 Type 92 infantry cannons, plus six 37mm anti-tank guns from the anti-tank platoon.
Unbelievable, the artillery battalion is going to the sky!
