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

In the system space, Gundam selected and purchased the necessary weapons and equipment, and then looked at the remaining 5000 military merit points.

Now as the county brigade continues to grow, food supply will become an important challenge.

Therefore, he decided to use 4000 military merit points to buy food.

Gundam quickly browsed through the food options in the system, calculating in his mind.

He learned that the price of food in the system was extremely affordable, and one military merit point could actually buy 200 kilograms of rice.

This is undoubtedly a huge blessing for their county brigade.

He quickly clicked to buy, and 4000 military merit points were instantly converted into 8 kilograms of rice.

The rice was piled up in the system's warehouse like a small mountain, enough for the soldiers of the county brigade to eat for one or two months.

After completing all purchases within the system, Gundam showed a satisfied smile on his face.

After exiting the system space and returning to the real world, Gundam lay on the bed, closed his eyes peacefully, and fell into a sweet dream.

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

The next morning, the sun shone through the clouds onto the earth.

Li Dakang and Li Yunlong arrived at the command center early and found that Gaoda had also gotten up.

"Captain, let's go to Wild Wolf Mountain now. It's cool in the morning, so we can go quickly and come back quickly." Li Dakang suggested.

"Okay, no problem." Gundam responded.

The three of them rode on horses, along the winding mountain road, heading towards Wild Wolf Mountain.

The morning breeze brings fresh mountain air, making people feel refreshed.

Soon after, they arrived at Wild Wolf Mountain.

After getting off the horse, Gundam carefully observed the terrain in front of him.

He noticed a large flat area halfway up the mountain. It was hidden and high up, making it an ideal site for a camp.

"Captain, this place is great, right?" Li Dakang asked, pointing to the flat area.

Gundam nodded and said, "Not bad, not bad, this place is great, we will build the camp here."

"Captain Dakang, the task of building a new camp is now handed over to you. You are a local and know many people, so you will be the one to find workers to carry out the construction. We need to hurry up and finish the construction of the camp as soon as possible."

After hearing what Gaoda said, Li Dakang said, "No problem, Captain. Since we have already chosen the location, I will start looking for workers as soon as I get back and prepare to start construction. It is expected to be completed within half a month."

"Very good." Gundam nodded with satisfaction, "Then let's go back."

The three of them mounted their horses again and returned along the mountain road.

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

On the way back to Lijiazhuang, Gaoda looked at Li Dakang and Li Yunlong.

"Dakang, Lao Li, I have something important to discuss with you."

Upon hearing this, the two turned to look at Gundam, their eyes full of curiosity.

"I plan to equip all the soldiers in the county brigade with semi-automatic rifles."

As soon as Gundam finished speaking, they both exclaimed.

"Semi-automatic rifle? What is this?" Li Dakang asked with his eyes wide open, looking puzzled.

After all, such advanced weapons are still rare in the Eighth Route Army, and Li Dakang has never seen them.

Gundam explained: "Captain Dakang, a semi-automatic rifle is a rifle that can automatically load ammunition and fire continuously. Compared with traditional rifles, it has a faster firing speed and stronger firepower."

After hearing this, Li Dakang suddenly realized what was going on and said excitedly:

"Captain, this semi-automatic rifle is really a good thing! A rifle that fires continuously is equivalent to a machine gun, right? If all the soldiers in the county brigade are equipped with this kind of gun, our individual firepower will be terrifyingly powerful!"

However, Li Yunlong on the side frowned and said, "Captain, although the semi-automatic rifle has powerful firepower, it also consumes a lot of bullets.

I've seen this kind of gun before. It does have strong firepower, but when fighting, the bullets are consumed like water.

In the past, some leaders of the Eighth Route Army had proposed to equip the troops with semi-automatic rifles, but they gave up in the end after considering the horrific bullet consumption.

After hearing Li Yunlong's concerns, Gao Da said, "Old Li, I understand your concerns. But please rest assured, I am full of confidence in the future of our county brigade.

As the arsenal's production capacity is further improved, we will have sufficient ammunition supply. By then, it will no longer be a problem for all members of our county brigade to switch to semi-automatic rifles."

"Once all members of the county brigade are equipped with semi-automatic rifles, the firepower of the soldiers will be greatly improved, and the combat effectiveness of our troops will be elevated to a whole new level.

Our county brigade must take this step unswervingly. The Japanese have a large number of people and their individual combat effectiveness is strong.

Therefore, we must make up for the lack of numbers by increasing the firepower of individual soldiers.

Looking back at the previous battles, it was precisely because of the favorable timing, terrain and people that we were able to defeat the Japanese time and time again.

But in the future, if we face larger enemies, relying solely on these advantages will not be enough.

We must plan ahead and be prepared in advance. Equipping all personnel with semi-automatic rifles is an important step towards victory."

After Li Yunlong and Li Dakang heard what Gaoda said.

"Captain, since you have decided to do this, I, Li Dakang, will fully support you!"

"Lao Gao, I, Lao Li, also support you in doing this. This is indeed a good way to quickly enhance the combat effectiveness of our county brigade."

Li Yunlong also expressed his support without hesitation.

Seeing that both of them agreed, Gundam was full of confidence: "Okay, since you both agree, I will immediately notify the Ping An Arsenal and ask them to start producing semi-automatic rifles as soon as possible. We will replace them in batches, and strive to have all employees equipped with this advanced weapon within 1 to 2 months."

After hearing this, both of them nodded with satisfied smiles on their faces.

Afterwards, they quickly returned to Lijiazhuang.

After returning to Lijiazhuang, Li Dakang sent a telegram to the brigade commander without stopping for a moment.

Gundam was preparing to take the 10 M1 Garand rifles he bought from the system last night to the Ping'an Arsenal and ask Meng Debiao to prepare production arrangements.
