Bright Sword: Leading the Special Operations Squadron to Fight the Japs

Wang Meng shook his head and looked at Brigade Commander Chen meaningfully.

"Brigade Commander, I only trust Commander Li Yunlong. If these weapons cannot be used by Commander Li's troops, then I will consider not donating them."

The atmosphere was a little subtle. Brigade Commander Chen did not expect that the man in front of him, who had a similar temperament to Li Yunlong, could speak so decisively.

"Brigade Commander, look at it from another angle. The Independent Regiment is part of the Eighth Route Army's battle sequence. Putting the best weapons in the most capable units can bring out the greatest effect! Moreover, the equipment that the Independent Regiment replaces can continue to be used by other units. I won't interfere."

Brigade Commander Chen pondered for a moment and felt that what Wang Meng said made sense.

If so many good things are placed in the hands of a unit that is reluctant to use them or does not know how to use them, their role will be extremely limited.

Moreover, these weapons cannot participate in combat by simply eating grass and drinking water; they also require a strong logistical support system.

In a high-intensity war, resources are the key. Without shells and bullets, all those artillery and machine guns are just for show.

Wang Meng looked at Brigade Commander Chen, whose expression had somewhat eased, and continued.

"We have come here from afar to fight the Japanese, not for fame or profit, but because of our responsibility as descendants of the Yellow Emperor. If one day Captain Li does something that insults China and its people, I will turn my back on him!"

When Li Yunlong heard this, he thought, isn't this looking down on me? Under the threat of the devil's bayonet and machine gun, I didn't even frown, and I'm still a traitor?

However, Wang Meng's words were not spoken to Li Yunlong, but to Brigade Commander Chen, which could be considered a kind of guarantee.

"Okay, then I promise you, I will report to the headquarters and select soldiers from the entire brigade to supplement the special forces, artillery, car drivers, and tank drivers!"

Li Yunlong showed a look of joy, and he wanted to hug Brigade Commander Chen and spin around for a few times. With this person, Wang Meng's equipment would be here too, right?

Of course, the independent regiment did not want their people for nothing. All qualified candidates selected from various units were exchanged for ten rifles per soldier.

Anyway, there are still hundreds of captured rifles. If all else fails, we can use MG32 general-purpose rifles to replace the Czech and Browning heavy machine guns in the future. When those regiment commanders see so many good things, they will probably send us their own!

However, the price is high and the return is low, so the trump card cannot be revealed, so today I sent over some of the seized Type 38 rifles.

Brigade Commander Chen sighed as he looked at the Type 38 rifle, which was almost in new condition.

"Li Yunlong, a year ago, you were desperately trying to bring back old barrels and Hanyang rifles, not to mention the Type 38 rifle. Are you really rich now?"

"Ah, your great brigade commander must have felt sorry for me and asked me to lead the attack, so I surrendered all these equipment. I am just following your style and we can share the meat. In fact, we are so poor that we have no food to eat after the last meal."

"Don't cry poor in front of me. I know what you are doing as soon as you stick your butt out. I have helped you so much, how are you going to thank me?"

Wang Meng was not vague and directly opened the tailgate of the second car, revealing a whole car filled with weapon boxes.

"Brigade Commander, our regiment commander Li has asked me to get 100 German submachine guns and 50,000 rounds of ammunition for the security forces of our commander, considering his safety and that of the commander of the headquarters."

Li Yunlong widened his eyes and felt so painful that he wanted to cry.

These are 100 submachine guns, and they were given away in the blink of an eye? If I had known earlier, I would have organized another submachine gun company.

Even if you, Wang Meng, want to show your style and give gifts to the leader, you have to put forward some conditions. Are you going to give it to him just like that?

Brigade Commander Chen looked at Li Yunlong's expression and knew that it was definitely not his idea. This guy is a stingy person, how could he be so generous?

"Thank you, Mr. Rich?"

Li Yunlong smiled wistfully, looking at the wooden boxes with heartache.

"Of course, of course, Commander. There are a thousand rifles in the car in front. Please send me at least a hundred soldiers. If they are not enough, our independent regiment will continue to send more."

"Don't worry, I won't hack your gun!"

Li Yunlong felt annoyed when he saw those boxes, and quickly urged the brigade commander to write down the boxes.

"What are you unloading? I just saw your organization list and there are still dozens of trucks. Do you have the nerve to drive these two shabby Japanese trucks back?"

Li Yunlong was regretting his decision so much that his intestines turned green. If he had known earlier, he would have ridden his donkey here to see if Brigade Commander Chen would be embarrassed to detain his donkey.

Li Yunlong is a slut who has his horns cut off and his balls castrated - it's a big loss.

"Brigade Commander, you are a bandit. From now on, Lao Li can only come to the brigade with nothing! Besides, it's useless for you to leave the truck here. Don't you have a driver?"

Brigade Commander Chen patted his head again, he actually forgot about this.

"Li Yunlong, you are so generous. You gave me two trucks and a driver. Thank you!"

Li Yunlong spat out a mouthful of blood. Brigade Commander Chen is an expert at extortion!

Li Yunlong and a few others led a few donkeys and prepared to ride back to the independent regiment’s base.

"Li Yunlong, in three days, get your guns ready. I will have each regiment bring their people to your independent regiment."

Li Yunlong had a sullen face.

"Okay, next time I come I'll come empty-handed and bring nothing."

Brigade Commander Chen waved to the signalman and brought over two jars and several glass bottles.

"Look at your ability, take it!"

When Li Yunlong saw the two large jars of sweet potato liquor and a few bottles of Fenjiu, he finally saw his return on investment.

Li Yunlong has been scolding Wang Meng along the way for showing off his wealth. Now he has been targeted by the brigade commander, right?

In fact, even if Wang Meng didn't show off his wealth, Brigade Commander Chen would have known it long ago. After all, your equipment is all there. You can't hide it in your crotch every day and not take it out to see people, right?

Moreover, distributing these weapons to other brother units will also enhance the overall strength of the Eighth Route Army.

"It's already been sent, just don't let it go to waste. Next, I will lead the team to select the soldiers myself. Don't let them hide their treasures and send us the ugly ones."

"Exactly. Ten guns can't be exchanged for a literate scholar?"

The independent regiment's communications company and medical company are still empty shells.

Although the communications company had a radio, it was far from enough. Wang Meng's plan was to equip the battalion level with radios and the company level with walkie-talkies.

By then, there will be four lines: wired, wireless, walkie-talkie, and human, to meet various communication requirements.

Therefore, we need to continue selecting radio operators.

The two medical companies are in the same predicament. Not to mention doctors, there is not even a veterinarian. The battles during these days have relied on the special forces' medical soldiers to provide simple treatment.

The best solution is to recruit a few regular doctors, select some soldiers and train them in battlefield first aid, and strive to equip each company with a few medical soldiers to minimize casualties.

But where can I find a regular doctor?
