Bright Sword: Follow Kong's fun and build the strongest military industry

Chapter 11 It is too difficult to support a special forces team

Hearing this long list of supplies, the three people present were stunned. The firepower of an infantry squad was even stronger than that of a company of the independent regiment.

Not to mention the independent regiment, even the 386nd Regiment, the absolute main force of their 772th Brigade, if they randomly pulled out an infantry platoon, might not have a Czech light machine gun and a Japanese Type 50 mm heavy grenade launcher.

Add to that 20 German-made 20-shot revolvers. If the independent regiment had not just made a fortune, it might not have been possible to come up with them.

But no matter how reluctant they are, they have to give these things so that they can form a special forces team as soon as possible.

Li Yunlong gritted his teeth and said, "These things are all fine. All weapons and equipment of the independent regiment will be provided to your special operations team first."

Seeing that the leader agreed, Kong Hao continued:

"In order to successfully form a special operations team, there is one last requirement. Food must be guaranteed."

"Special operations is a new tactic. We will conduct a lot of high-intensity training every day, which consumes a lot of physical energy. We must ensure adequate nutrition."

"You definitely can't eat sweet potatoes often. You need to eat enough staple food every day. One person should eat at least three kilograms a day."

"And we have to eat meat every other day, and each person has to eat at least one egg every day, plus enough side dishes. That's all we have for now."

After Shen Quan heard this, he murmured to himself:

"Each person eats three kilograms of staple food a day, which means that we consume at least thirty-six kilograms of food a day, which is more than what my entire battalion of troops eats."

"This also requires eggs and pork. Where can our independent regiment get such rare things? This is really making things difficult for us."

"Captain Shen, this is already the lowest. According to the requirements of the instructors of the German Special Military School, every special operations member must eat two kilograms of beef and drink two kilograms of milk a day. Anyone who fails to complete the task will be punished."

"As for food, you can eat as much as you want until every member of the team is full."

"In other aspects, every team member must fire 200 rounds of ammunition every day, and they will be punished if they fail to do so."

After hearing this, the three people present fell silent. This was completely beyond their imagination.

Their troops have always been in a state of food and clothing shortage, and most of the time they eat whatever they can find. For example, the independent regiment has been eating sweet potatoes for almost five months.

In this time of crisis, let alone beef and milk, which are rare items in China, the Independent Regiment cannot even guarantee one egg per person per day.

At this time, Li Yunlong asked:

"Lao Kong, you are quite familiar with the Independent Regiment. Can you guarantee these living conditions?"

Kong Jie said with embarrassment: "With the current food reserves of the independent regiment, even if we add what we seized today, the total is only about 1500 kilograms."

"Even if other troops only ate sweet potatoes every day and left all the food for the special forces, they wouldn't last more than a month."

"There are still more than 60 kilograms of pork left. I will ask the kitchen staff to salt it and make it into bacon. It should be enough to eat for a while."

"As for requiring each team member to eat an egg every day, that would be thirteen eggs a day. This is really impossible. How about changing it to once a week?"

At this time, Li Yunlong suddenly said, "Tomorrow I will go to the Logistics Department to find my fellow Dabie Mountain native Minister Zhang and try to get some food back."

"Xiao Kong, the personnel you need will be in place tomorrow, and we will start training first."

"Even if our independent regiment has to sell everything it has, we will still form our own special operations team."

"By the way, Xiao Kong, don't tell anyone about the formation of the special forces team yet."

"Thirteen people is exactly the number of an infantry squad. Xiao Kong, you will be the squad leader first, and your organization will be under the guard platoon of the second battalion."

"Shen Quan, if there is anything that the special operations team needs cooperation with, your Second Battalion will be responsible for it."

When Shen Quan heard that the newly formed special operations team would be placed in their second battalion, he was very excited.

He knew Kong Hao's individual combat capability. If the special operations team got some supplies in the future, the Second Battalion would be able to get priority in replenishment.

There was no problem on Kong Hao's side either. As long as a special operations team was formed, he could lead his team members to kill the Japanese and gain merit.

The next step was to find a way to exchange them for various weapons, ammunition and daily necessities, and to support the Eighth Route Army in a reasonable way.

"Xiao Kong, Shen Quan, you two go down first. I will discuss something with Lao Kong."

After the two left, Kong Jie couldn't wait to ask:

"Old Li, what kind of medicine are you selling in this gourd? Why can't I understand it?"

"Why don't we set up a separate special operations team and put it directly under the regiment? Even if it is placed in the regiment's guard company, it is better than placing it in the second battalion."

Li Yunlong just laughed and said proudly:

"Old Kong, you are an honest man, but you will suffer a great loss in the future."

"You have seen the role of the small hole. It will surely be able to achieve countless military exploits in the future."

"As long as a person is outstanding, he will be remembered by certain people. We'd better be careful. He is basically inconspicuous in the Second Battalion. It's just that Xiao Kong is a little wronged. You have to explain it to him."

"I will go to the logistics department to get food tomorrow. You stay at home and keep an eye on the First Battalion, which has just been hit hard. You must make sure the soldiers train as soon as possible. I want a troop that can be deployed to fight tough battles at any time."

"Old Li, don't worry. I'm here, and you won't be late."

At this time, the "certain people" that Li Yunlong mentioned were sneezing violently, but his mood was still good.

After all, he got 386 rounds of Type rifle bullets from the independent regiment at once, and the Type rifles and Type light machine guns captured by his th Brigade could play a big role.

However, in recent times, the 386th Brigade has rarely fought annihilation battles, seized little ammunition, and often made losses.

This also means that the total ammunition inventory of the entire brigade is less than 50,000, which is a very dangerous signal.

If the 386th Brigade receives another difficult combat mission, the soldiers will have to fight for their lives in the absence of ammunition, which is something Brigade Commander Chen does not want to see.

Fortunately, Li Yunlong still had a good sense of the overall situation and lived up to his usual good words for the heads of the headquarters.

Fifty thousand rounds of ammunition were handed in at once, more than doubling the brigade's ammunition inventory, which also gave him a slight relief.

After some discussion with the political commissar, 771 rifle bullets were issued to the 772st and 1nd Regiments respectively, and Ding Wei's New 5000st Regiment was also given rounds to enhance the strength of the subordinate troops.

The remaining 2.5 rounds are kept as inventory to deal with future emergencies.

Of course, the brigade commander certainly didn't know that Kong Hao had a backup plan. The independent regiment suddenly obtained more than 20,000 Mauser pistol bullets.

If he had known in advance, he would have probably gotten more benefits by leaving later. Now he has suffered a huge loss.

However, the entire 386th Brigade has been in a state of rest and recuperation recently, and people everywhere have been asking the brigade headquarters for help, but they have never thought about solving the brigade headquarters' difficulties.

Li Yunlong is still the best. He is always the one who is remembered when good things happen. We should scold him less next time.
