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

Commander Ma also said mysteriously: "So, this time, our Third Division must have a share of the battle no matter what."

"Before, Commander Chen didn't assign any tasks to our military sub-district, so it was difficult for us to force our way in. But now, Kong Hao has established a relationship with the Third Regiment, so this is our chance."

"I decided to take the cavalry company and the first regiment to Taigu County. This is the most powerful force in our military sub-district, but it is still not fully equipped with rifles, and one-eighth of the soldiers are fighting with swords and spears."

"My requirements this time are not high. I just want to find a way to re-equip all the 2,000 men in the regiment. At least we need to replenish their rifles. Of course, it would be even better if they were all equipped with Japanese weapons."

"I heard that Li Yunlong's independent regiment is fully equipped with Japanese-style equipment, and the average number of bullets per soldier is also on par with the Japanese, at least more than 100 rounds. There is also an artillery company and a cavalry company, and it is known as the first regiment of the Taiyue Military Region."

"To put it bluntly, even though we have more people in Division 3, if a real fight breaks out, we may not be able to defeat the Independent Regiment."

At this time, Political Commissar Tao joked again: "Commander, I heard that you, Li Yunlong, Ding Wei, and Kong Jie were from the same unit?"

"Yes, but we were not in the same squad, but in the same company. I was the platoon leader at the time, and the three of them were just soldiers. So we can be considered old comrades."

"We are shamelessly going to fight Qiu Feng this time. It's our fault that our third division is weak."

"As the saying goes: A poor man has low ambitions, and a thin horse has long hair."

"Being thick-skinned will keep you full. As long as the army's equipment level is improved, I am not afraid of being accused of taking advantage of my age."

"By the way, Political Commissar, please take care of the family. I will be bringing the military transport team over this time. Whether we can have a good year this year depends on this one."

"Okay, Commander, I'm at home, don't worry."

When Commander Ma led his troops to the secret assembly point, he was extremely envious when he saw the equipment of the First Battalion of the Independent Regiment.

A battalion of the independent regiment had sixteen light machine guns, four heavy machine guns, a mortar and twelve grenade launchers.

The strongest regiment in their military sub-district had only twelve light machine guns, two heavy machine guns and two grenade launchers.

As for mortars, forget it. His military sub-district has four regiments, but only two mortars, and they are the artillery company directly under the headquarters.

In addition, the bullets of each rifleman in the first battalion of the independent regiment were configured the same way as those of the Japanese devils, with one bullet box in front and two in the back.

If this is not a deliberate show-off to deceive people, it means that the average amount of ammunition carried by each soldier in the independent regiment can reach hundreds of rounds, which is comparable to the amount of ammunition carried by the Japanese soldiers.

This is a huge improvement, almost ten times that of an ordinary infantry regiment of the Eighth Route Army.

In addition, an infantry squad of the independent regiment had two box guns and a submachine gun. When this luxurious equipment was displayed, it almost blinded the eyes of the soldiers of the first regiment of the third division.

When Li Yunlong, Ding Wei and Kong Jie heard that the commander had arrived, they all came forward to greet him.

"Commander Ma, Li Yunlong, the head of the independent regiment, sends his greetings to you!"

"Commander Ma, the new regiment commander Ding Wei sends his greetings to you!"

"Old platoon leader, long time no see!"

Commander Ma was also very excited to see the three brothers.

"We are all from the same unit, so we are old comrades. Don't be so polite."

"By the way, Li Yunlong, I heard that you are getting better and better at fighting, and now you have become a famous warrior in the Eighth Route Army."

"After the last great victory at Cangyun Ridge, you were transferred out of the New 1st Regiment. We old buddies thought you were going to stay quiet for a while."

"I didn't expect that, not long after this, you led the independent regiment to completely wipe out a reinforced battalion of the Japanese, a total of 1,500 people."

"I was at the military sub-district headquarters. I was shocked when I heard that. There were so many Japanese devils. Even if all the troops of our military sub-district joined together, we couldn't defeat them. I didn't expect that you could lead your team to wipe them out. It's really amazing."

In fact, if you really count them, the Independent Regiment and the New 1st Regiment, with the strength of two regiments, wiped out more than 1,500 people of the Yamazaki Battalion. Their results were more brilliant and of greater significance than the New 1st Regiment's defeat of the Sakata Regiment at Cangyun Ridge and the killing of the Sakata Regiment Commander.

When they were at Cangyun Ridge, the New 771st Regiment was cooperated with by the 772st and nd Regiments, and the total force that actually attacked the New st Regiment's position was only a battalion.

Moreover, defeat and annihilation are completely different concepts. Thanks to Li Yunlong's good luck, he destroyed Sakata's headquarters with one shot, killed Sakata Nobutsu, and paralyzed the command system of Sakata's regiment.

Otherwise, it would be a big question whether Lao Li and his New 1st Regiment could break out successfully.

If Li Yunlong led the New 1st Regiment to defeat the Sakata Corps, which surprised everyone, and Li Yunlong led the Independent Regiment to annihilate the Yamazaki Battalion, it made the Independent Regiment the number one main force regiment of the Eighth Route Army, at least ranked in the top three.

Although Ding Wei's New 1st Regiment also participated in the battle to annihilate the Yamazaki Battalion, it was Li Yunlong's Independent Regiment that played a decisive role. All the leaders at the headquarters understood this.

This was also the reason why Commander Ma praised Li Yunlong as soon as they met. The main reason was that the battle to annihilate Yamazaki was so beautiful. With less than 500 casualties on their own side, they killed 1,500 Japanese devils. This was an unprecedented major victory.

Li Yunlong is a person who cannot help but be praised. He felt very proud when he was praised by his leader this time.

But then he frowned and said, "Old platoon leader, I just saw that many of your troops are carrying swords and spears. This is a bit too shabby."

In fact, Commander Ma had said so much and laid the groundwork for so long before, just waiting for Li Yunlong to say this.

However, given his status, it was not appropriate for him to cry poor in public, so he winked at a captain standing beside him, and now it was the turn of all the captains to come on stage.

The group leader's qualifications are slightly lower than those of the others present, so he is the most appropriate person to come forward for this occasion.

He just walked out first and talked about the difficulties of their three-point zone in a low voice.

"Our Third Military Division was established not long ago, and we are not taken seriously in the entire military region. Unlike your Independent Regiment and the New First Regiment, they are the apple of Brigade Commander Chen's eye and they have everything they want."

"The troops you just saw are from our Third Division's First Regiment. They are equipped with the best equipment. Our Second, Third, and Fourth Regiments are even worse equipped, especially the Fourth Regiment, which was just formed last month. Their equipment is even worse than that of the county brigade."

"Not to mention ammunition. On average, each soldier only has eight rounds."

After saying this, he looked at Ding Wei and Li Yunlong with expectant eyes, his purpose was self-evident.

Of course, Commander Ma also looked over. He had no psychological burden about this kind of crying poor behavior.

Besides, he had done even more outrageous things than this, and sometimes Brigade Commander Chen and Political Commissar Wang couldn't stand him.
