Draw the sword and cure the fear of insufficient firepower

Partition 1 here.

The team has finished resting.

After the battle with the 36th Division, Li Yunlong and others took stock of the spoils.

A total of Type 38 rifles and a number of bullets were seized, of which more than 2,000 were damaged, but any that can draw out pus is a good plaster.

These damaged guns could not be wasted, so they were packed up and handed over to the arsenal. The usable ones were repaired and the scrapped ones were dismantled for parts. In short, they could all be used.

There were 76 Type 23 heavy machine guns and some ammunition, of which were damaged.

There were 288 Type 36 light machine guns and a number of bullets, of which were damaged.

There were 144 grenade launchers and some ammunition, 56 of which were damaged.

There were 86 mortars and some ammunition, 26 of which were damaged.

There were 16 mountain cannons and 36 field cannons, half of which were destroyed.

These seized weapons and equipment are not only from today's battlefield, but also from the battles a few days ago when the First Division and Li Yunlong and his men were besieging the Japanese.

Similarly, broken artillery and machine guns are also good things.

Because the artillery company continued to bombard the Japanese artillery positions.

Mountain artillery and field artillery were difficult to move and suffered the most damage, while mortars and grenade launchers were easy to carry, so many of them were moved by the Japanese.

In addition, there were 6820 living horses and 450 trucks.

Food, medicine, canned food, all added up to more than 80 trucks full.

There were also 20 trucks carrying gasoline and other supplies.

I have to admit that the Japs are indeed rich, but how much of their food and fodder were looted from us Chinese?

Lin Tian only took away 400 trucks and 5000 horses, and did not take anything else.

They had long since looked down upon the Japs' weapons and equipment, but they lacked trucks, horses and other means of transportation.

It’s not that Lin Tian has a big appetite. If they hand over so many horses to the headquarters, General Lao and the others would also be worried.

They couldn't afford the hay and food alone to feed the horses, let alone anything else.

As for these trucks, Lin Tian drove away 130 of them. One reason was that Lin Tian really needed them, and the other was that our Eighth Route Army had no gasoline...

So Lin Tian is also thinking about the headquarters and reducing the burden on friendly forces...

At this time, the Independent Regiment, the New 1st Regiment, and the New 2nd Regiment had already divided the spoils.

Li Yunlong, Kong Jie and Ding Wei looked at the mountains of guns and ammunition in front of them.

There are also various types of artillery neatly arranged.

They all bared their teeth and looked very happy.

"I've been fighting all my life, but I've never captured so many goodies!"

"Look at this Type 99 rifle! This Type 92! And these mountain guns, field guns, and mortars!"

"Even our division commanders don't have many!"

"Haha, God has made me, Old Li, rich!"

"We are more powerful than our teacher!"

Li Yunlong approached a Type 94 mountain cannon, touched it all over, and was almost about to hold it in his arms.

Li Yunlong was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth and shouted excitedly.

"Yes, thanks to following Commander Lin this time, we were able to do such a big deal!"

"With these weapons and equipment, I can raise eight more battalions! Hahaha!"

Kong Jie opened his clothes, put one hand on his waist, held the pipe with the other hand, blew out a few smoke rings, and said happily.

"Old Kong is right. Let's divide the spoils equally among the three families!"

"Each regiment will be allocated 4966 Type rifles!"

"84 Type 25 rifles! Type rifles!"

"48 grenade launchers, 28 mortars! 17 mountain artillery and field artillery!"

"606 horses and 16 trucks!"

"There are still so many foods, drinks, and medicines!"

"Wow, it's not a problem to pull together three groups!"

"What Lao Li said is really good! Damn it, we are now more powerful than the commander!!"

Ding Wei's mind worked quickly and he made a rough estimate, although it did not include the damaged weapons and equipment.

Think about it, each of their regiments has only 1200 people, and the more than 3 Type rifles alone are enough to arm three regiments!

With so many light and heavy machine guns, their original machine gun company can be reorganized into two reinforced machine gun battalions!

With so many artillery pieces, it wouldn't be a problem to arm two artillery regiments.

Besides, of the more than 600 horses, excluding some old and weak pack horses, there would still be 400 to 500 war horses left.

There is no problem in forming a reinforced cavalry battalion.

According to this calculation, these captured items can arm at least four regiments!

Li Yunlong, Ding Wei and Kong Jie all held their heads and shouted that it was so exciting!

"Damn it! I finally understand why every time Li Yunlong wins a battle, the brigade commander will come to congratulate him!"

Kong Jie rubbed his face with his hands and shouted.

"Hahahaha!"

After saying this, everyone burst into laughter.

ga-

Kong Jie's words might seem like a joke to others, but Li Yunlong was shocked when he heard them.

Li Yunlong's face changed instantly and cold sweat broke out on his back.

"Old Kong, you're such a bad mouth, stop talking!"

"Brigade Commander, please don't come here to rob again!"

“I haven’t warmed it up yet!”

Li Yunlong shouted with a sad face.

Absolutely, the brigade commander will definitely rob him...

This time it's a division...

"Lao Zhao! Lao Zhao! Where the hell have you been?"

"This time when we go back, our independent regiment will do its best to recruit soldiers!"

"I will equip myself with all these weapons! When the brigade commander comes to rob us, we will have something to say!"

"You can't let the team I just assembled go out and fight the Japanese with bare butts!"

"Hahahaha, I'm a fucking genius!!"

Li Yunlong had a lot of crooked ideas, and he immediately thought of a way to deal with it.

"Old Li, don't waste your energy. If the brigade commander wants to rob you, even if you recruit a division of soldiers, he will take away your flowers and pots together!"

Zhao Gang was speechless for a while. All the captured items were to be returned to the public. This was the army’s discipline.

With so many weapons and equipment, even if we could recruit so many people, we wouldn't be able to support so many troops.

Not to mention anything else, just the production of military uniforms alone caused the entire clothing factory's sewing machines to smoke because they couldn't even sew one.

Think about it, these three brothers, each of them expanded 4 regiments, plus the current one.

There are five groups in total, adding up to nearly 20,000 people.

There aren’t so many people and fabrics in the bedding factory.

Besides, the food supply is tight. The two thousand men in this regiment are struggling to survive. If we recruit four more regiments, we won’t even have enough food to eat from the trees in the mountains…

Zhao Gang knew that it would be good enough if the headquarters could leave them a regiment's worth of weapons and equipment from these captured items.

The friendly forces still have hundreds of thousands of troops, and three of them share one gun...

"No, no matter what, even if the brigade commander is robbing us, we have to expand our troops!"

"The headquarters has ordered me to break it down into smaller units, but I heard that it will be coming soon. We must strive for development!"

"You, the political commissar, know much more than I do!"

Li Yunlong said with his neck stiffened.

Anyway, when the brigade commander comes to rob again, he will have to leave some of the spoils behind...

After satisfying the brigade commander's addiction, I can't forget this refreshing feeling...
