Draw the sword and cure the fear of insufficient firepower

Kong Jie, who had been poor all his life, suddenly felt like he had become rich overnight.

Accustomed to fighting poor battles, he didn't know how to fight rich battles for a while.

Kong Jie was very confident that his New 2nd Regiment could completely annihilate an entire division of the Japanese invaders head-on.

The Japanese division only has a few cannons, but I have hundreds of rocket launchers. What can you use to fight me?

"Everyone, line up to receive weapons and equipment!" Liu Wu ordered loudly.

The soldiers of the New Second Regiment were very disciplined. At Liu Wu's command, the soldiers immediately lined up.

The arsenal in Division 1 now has one warehouse for each type of weapon.

There were long queues in front of every warehouse.

The soldiers took their weapons back first, and the rest of the distribution was up to Kong Jie.

"One rifle per person, carry two boxes of bullets, next one!" the soldier in the armory shouted and distributed the weapons inside.

"My god, this gun is so beautiful!"

"Quick, comrade, it's my turn!"

"That's great! Compared to it, my old socket is just a fire stick!"

The soldiers who received the Type 56 semi-automatic rifles were ecstatic and kept talking to themselves.

He held his gun and stroked it lovingly.

"Comrade, what kind of cannon is this? So many gun barrels?" A group of soldiers asked in surprise in front of the 107mm rocket launcher warehouse.

"Comrade, this is a 107mm rocket launcher. It is no problem to kill dozens of Japanese soldiers with a single salvo! Come and lift it. This is a rocket. Handle it with care." The soldier in the warehouse introduced.

"So this is the 107 rocket launcher! I've heard from veterans a long time ago that this thing is great!"

"This firepower is really strong. One cannon is as powerful as more than a dozen cannons!"

"Who says it's not? This 107mm rocket launcher is a battery of artillery!"

"I just heard the regiment commander talking to Minister Liu. Our new Second Regiment may need to be equipped with hundreds of these rocket launchers. That... isn't that more exaggerated than an artillery division?"

The soldiers were shocked again. Looking at the other division, it was no wonder that they always won battles and fought great annihilation wars.

With firepower like that, it's hard to lose.

Think about the kind of life I lived in the past, with all those tactics of infiltration, guerrilla warfare, and night raids. It was all because of the poverty that I could not do anything about.

If they had this kind of artillery firepower at the beginning, wouldn't it be satisfying to just bombard for two hours and then charge forward?

"Comrades, the Maxim heavy machine guns, you guys lift them, the ammunition boxes are here, you guys move them."

"Czech light machine guns, each person should take two back. The ammunition boxes are here, take them away."

"MG-42 general-purpose machine guns, each person carries two, hang some bullets on their bodies, and carry the ammunition boxes away."

It was equally busy in the machine gun warehouse.

"Comrade, what kind of machine gun is this MG-42 machine gun? There is no chicken on it. It weighs like a light machine gun, but looking at the single chain, how come it is the same as a heavy machine gun?" asked a soldier as he carefully looked at the MG-42 general-purpose machine gun in his hand.

"Hahaha, comrade, it's not 'MG', that's foreign language, it's a general-purpose machine gun. It's indeed only the weight of a light machine gun, but has the firepower of a heavy machine gun. You'll know it when you fire a few rounds someday." The soldier in the warehouse explained with a smile.

To be honest, he didn't understand foreign words, and at the beginning he just said he loved the hen...

"Oh, this is so exciting. In the past, our entire regiment only had five heavy machine guns, and they were all captured from the Japanese. Our regiment commander was treated like a treasure. Not to mention training, even in actual combat, we had to fight slowly."

"That's right. Look, we have already moved more than 20 Maxims. This thing is much more useful than the Japanese Type 92. Not to mention the Czech type, we have already moved hundreds of them!"

"Have you heard? Our regiment headquarters will have a machine gun company directly under it, and each battalion will have a machine gun platoon under it!"

"Not only that, I heard that each squad can be equipped with four light and heavy machine guns. This is what our regiment used to have. I dare not imagine it, I really dare not imagine it!"

The soldiers were talking at once, their moods extremely excited.

In the past, a heavy machine gun only had a few hundred rounds of bullets, and they might all be used up in one battle.

Even these were captured from the Japanese by the soldiers at the risk of their lives.

During the most difficult times, the entire regiment had 5 heavy machine guns, which were the most powerful in the Eighth Route Army.

Some troops didn't even have light machine guns.

The soldiers were very happy, as they had become rich overnight.

There are so many machine guns. When we go to war in the future, everyone can just hold one and shoot at the enemy. How exciting that would be.

"Comrades, this is a PPSh submachine gun. Each person can take as many as he can. The same goes for bullets. Our commander said that everyone should have a PPSh submachine gun and 300 rounds of bullets. Fire as much as you can!" The soldiers in the submachine gun warehouse shouted loudly.

There are more than 50,000 PPSh submachine guns in the First Division, enough for every soldier to increase firepower.

Especially when charging, the firepower of a semi-automatic rifle is ultimately not as strong as that of a submachine gun.

Fighting at close range and firing a submachine gun is more exciting than firing a machine gun.

"One for each person? 300 rounds of bullets?"

"Oh my God, before, our company only had about 300 rounds of ammunition, but now, a submachine gun alone can be equipped with rounds of ammunition!"

"We are rich now. We are really rich now. I will have more bullets than I can ever use up!"

The soldiers were equally excited.

Submachine guns, one for each person. With this thing, the New Second Regiment has 6,000 people, which means more than 6,000 submachine guns.

The firepower from these lined-up strafing attacks was enough to turn the Japanese into a paste.

After receiving weapons and equipment, the soldiers returned with full loads. On the way back, Kong Jie led the soldiers to sing military songs.

Although they were all carrying heavy weapons, everyone felt happy.

In the past, everyone envied the independent regiment because they were able to fight and were good at fighting, and they could always seize a lot of good things.

And later, a commander named Lin emerged from the independent regiment, which was even more amazing.

The weapons and equipment that the commander gave to the independent regiment alone could arm an entire division.

Although a lot of these things were robbed by the brigade commander.

However, the remaining weapons and equipment are more than enough to arm a regiment.

In addition, the independent regiment had fought many major battles during this period, and Li Yunlong was also very bold, so he secretly withheld a lot of spoils of war.

After they were divided into ten battalions, everyone in the group had weapons.

It's the size of a division.

But today they no longer envy the Independent Regiment.

On the contrary, it is the Independent Regiment that should envy their New Second Regiment.

The new Second Regiment is now completely different from the past. It has the strength of a brigade and firepower far exceeding that of a division.

The soldiers are fully confident that under the command and leadership of the commander, they will surely defeat the Japanese!
