Bright Sword: The brigade commander is shocked! You call this a county brigade?

After listening to Li Dakang's statement, Gaoda's eyes flashed with a gleam.

"Captain Dakang, since the soldiers really feel that the Japanese's weapons and equipment are difficult to use.

Moreover, these piles of equipment placed here not only take up space, but are also prone to rust and damage.

It would be a waste to just remake so many sophisticated equipments."

"I have a bold idea. Why don't we give all the weapons and equipment we captured from the Japanese to the brigade commander?"

Li Yunlong, who was standing by, widened his eyes when he heard what Gaoda said and exclaimed:

"Gundam, are you crazy? You're just going to give all these weapons and equipment to the brigade commander? The brigade commander must be so happy!

We worked so hard to capture it, but now we are giving it away for nothing. I feel a little uncomfortable."

Gaoda shook his head and said, "Old Li, you are wrong. How could I give it away for free? I did this for my own reasons."

“As the war continues, the size of our forces continues to grow, and more and more weapons and ammunition will be needed in the future.

Although these weapons and equipment of the devils are not convenient for us, they are valuable things to the brigade commander and the Eighth Route Army. "

"We can make a deal with the brigade commander. I will give all these captured weapons and equipment to the brigade commander, but the condition is that he must provide us with a large amount of raw materials. These raw materials will be used for us to manufacture new weapons and ammunition to cope with more intense battles in the future."

After listening to Gaoda's suggestion, Li Dakang said: "Captain, your idea is really brilliant! It not only solves the problem of where to deal with the weapons we seized from the Japanese, but also exchanges them for the raw materials we urgently need. This is simply killing two birds with one stone. I fully agree with it!"

Li Yunlong, who was standing aside, couldn't help but nod repeatedly when he heard Li Dakang's words.

"Lao Gao, you have a brilliant brain! We really don't need these weapons and equipment of the devils. We can exchange them for raw materials by giving them to the brigade commander. This deal is very cost-effective. I absolutely support it!"

Seeing that both of them agreed, Gundam was quite satisfied.

He stood up, clapped his hands and said, "Since both of you agree, then it's settled. Captain Dakang, you will send a telegram to the brigade commander tomorrow morning and tell him about this."

"Yes, Captain!"

Gaoda looked at the sky again and said, "It's getting late now, everyone should go back and rest. Tomorrow morning, we have to go to Wild Wolf Mountain for investigation."

Li Dakang and Li Yunlong nodded and then left the command center.

....................

Late at night, the moonlight shone through the window onto Gaoda's bed, and he lay quietly on the bed.

He recalled the scene of the county brigade exchanging fire with the enemy on the battlefield, and felt deeply the inadequacy of individual firepower.

In the past, the county brigade did not equip the troops with semi-automatic rifles because of the shortage of bullets.

But now, with the arrival of the system's rewards, the situation has changed dramatically.

As Gundam thought about the information about the two bullet production lines rewarded by the system, his heartbeat quickened.

These two production lines will completely change the ammunition supply situation of the county brigade, so that his soldiers will no longer have to worry about insufficient ammunition.

He felt it was time to fully equip the troops with semi-automatic rifles.

This powerful semi-automatic rifle will greatly enhance the combat effectiveness of the county brigade.

Gundam couldn't wait to enter the system space and began to carefully look for a suitable semi-automatic rifle.

He understood that choosing a suitable weapon was crucial to improving the combat effectiveness of the troops.

He had to select the semi-automatic rifle that would be most suitable for the county brigade from among many options.

Finally, Gundam's sights were fixed on a semi-automatic rifle, the famous M1 Garand rifle.

This rifle is highly regarded in the American military, and in China, it has a more popular name - Big Eight Grain, or Eight Grain Fast.

The name comes from its unique eight-round capacity design, which allows eight consecutive shots with one bolt, and its firepower is amazing.

Gaoda knew clearly that once the soldiers of the county brigade were equipped with M1 Garand rifles, their individual firepower would completely surpass those of the Japanese soldiers armed with Type 38 rifles.

The firepower of a Garand semi-automatic rifle is enough to suppress several of the Japanese Type 38 rifles, which will give the county brigade soldiers a huge advantage on the battlefield.

The M1 Garand rifle was introduced to China a long time ago. However, despite its powerful firepower, many troops in the Chinese army stayed away from it.

This is because the Garand rifle's continuous-fire design results in a huge consumption of bullets, which is undoubtedly a huge burden for China's weak military industry.

The huge consumption and maintenance of semi-automatic rifles will undoubtedly create tremendous pressure on logistics. Without strong military-industrial support, it will not work at all. Therefore, the Chinese army only equips a small number of them in a few elite troops.

However, Gaoda's county brigade does not have such a problem.

They had their own arsenal, the Ping An Arsenal, which enabled them to be self-sufficient without having to worry about ammunition supply.

Gundam is well aware that as the war escalates, the demand for ammunition will be even greater in the future, so he plans to continue to expand the production scale of the arsenal to meet the growing demand for ammunition.

Therefore, Gundam decided without hesitation to spend 100 military industrial points to purchase 10 M1 Garand rifles.

These rifles will be used as samples and handed over to Meng Debiao for imitation.

Gaoda is full of confidence in the production capacity of Ping An Arsenal. He believes that within a month, all the soldiers of the county brigade will be able to replace their weapons with brand new Garand semi-automatic rifles, thus gaining a more advantageous position in future battles.

After purchasing the Garand rifle, Gundam once again turned his attention to the remaining 15,000 military merit points on the system interface.

The county brigade's weakness in air defense firepower became a major hidden danger for them.

Therefore, he decided without hesitation to purchase 20 German-made 88mm anti-aircraft guns within the system to enhance the air defense capabilities of the troops.

The price of each anti-aircraft gun was 100 military merit points, and Gundam clicked the purchase button.

Seeing his military merit points decreasing rapidly, he felt extremely excited.

When the last anti-aircraft gun was successfully purchased and appeared in the system warehouse, he couldn't help but smile with satisfaction.

Next, Gundam purchased another 8000 rounds of 88mm anti-aircraft shells.

The price of each shell was one military merit point. Although it was a bit painful, he understood that this was a necessary investment.

Watching his military merit points rapidly decrease to only a few thousand points, he secretly vowed to try his best to let Ping An Arsenal produce its own artillery shells in the future.

The 20 88mm anti-aircraft guns in the system lay quietly in the system space, and Gundam already had a careful deployment plan in his mind.

He decided to deploy these anti-aircraft guns around the camp and in important areas such as the Ping An Arsenal.

With these anti-aircraft guns, the county brigade will have powerful weapons to fight against the Japanese aircraft.
