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

The reason why the brigade commander and Li Yunlong were so excited was mainly because there were four Type 92 infantry guns inside, and they were all brand new. This news had to be kept strictly confidential.

In fact, what the Japanese valued most was this kind of lightweight artillery. Losing one was a huge matter and they had to get it back at any cost.

Previously, a troop in another base, a main battalion, accidentally seized a Type 50 infantry gun and rounds of artillery shells during an ambush.

The battalion commander immediately asked the instructor to lead a main company to escort the Type 92 infantry gun and all the shells to retreat quickly, while he led the remaining two companies to stay behind to provide cover.

When the Japanese learned that one of their Type 92 infantry guns had been stolen, they first mobilized a large group to snatch it back. Later, when they saw that they could not achieve their goal, they deliberately mobilized a regiment of troops to either take the Type 92 infantry gun back or blow it up.

We first sent the Type 92 infantry gun to the regiment headquarters, but faced with the pressure from the large Japanese force, we felt that we could not keep it, so we sent it to the military sub-district.

Everyone still felt it was not safe, so they had to send it to the military area and transport it into the mountains, and only then did the matter come to an end.

The Japanese, on the other hand, dispatched more than 5,000 people to carry out a temporary large-scale mopping-up operation in order to take back the cannon.

Finally, when they saw that there was no hope of seizing the cannon, they posted various notices, wanting to replace the cannon with 100 machine guns, or buy it back with money.

Of course, this unreasonable request was rejected by our side. How could this Type 92 infantry gun be replaced with light machine guns, no matter how many there were?

After all, the Japanese built artillery towers all over the ground, just to bully us because we only had light mortars but no siege artillery.

As long as our attacking forces can pull the Type 92 infantry gun in front of the artillery tower where the puppet troops are stationed, we can defeat the enemy without fighting and force some of the weak-willed traitors to surrender directly.

Moreover, some small artillery towers could be destroyed with just one shell from the Type 92 infantry gun, posing a deadly threat to the Japanese tactics of "using railways as pillars, roads as chains, and bunkers as locks."

The Japanese also had a rule that if something became impossible, they would detonate their artillery immediately.

But there are exceptions to everything, such as this time, the four Type 386 infantry guns, although they don’t know how many corresponding artillery shells they have in stock, it is definitely the biggest gain of their th Brigade since the Anti-Japanese War.

Seeing so many artillery pieces coming out at once, Li Yunlong hurriedly and cautiously asked:

"Brigade Commander, there are four Type 92 infantry guns here. Can you give one to our independent regiment?"

When Commander Cheng heard Li Yunlong say this, he also looked at the brigade commander with hope, and his thoughts were self-evident.

His 772nd Regiment also wanted one of these good things to form an artillery company, so that their regiment's artillery would be worthy of the name.

The brigade commander knew the little thoughts of his two subordinates. This time he did not scold them. Instead, he said earnestly:

"This kind of powerful weapon is not something that you two small regiment-level combat units can dream of. Even if our entire 386th Brigade were combined, it would be great if we could keep one."

"With these four guns, I guess the division and the headquarters will ask for more later, especially the shells, which are urgently needed by all the troops."

As soon as he finished speaking, the artillery company commander ran over excitedly and said:

"Commander, all the Type 92 infantry guns in the warehouse are newly produced. Even the lubricating oil has not been wiped off. After counting, there are 1,200 shells. This is incredible."

"Great! Now we have something useful to use against the Japanese artillery tower."

"Hurry up and dismantle the Type 92 infantry gun and load it onto the cart. Make it look more natural. Put some ammunition boxes on top to confuse the audience."

"These materials must be transported by our own transport team. Ordinary people must not be involved, so as to avoid being tricked by the detective team in the future."

"By the way, these artillery pieces must be transported separately. Each time they are transported, a platoon of soldiers from the guard battalion must be dispatched to escort them. We must ensure that nothing goes wrong."

After giving these orders, he still felt unsafe, so he called the commander of the brigade's engineering company and asked him to blow up the warehouses with explosives after all the supplies were moved.

This would create an illusion that the Eighth Route Army encountered resistance when attacking the warehouse and that the enemy blew up the warehouse, and the truth could be concealed as long as possible.

In this way, the 386th Brigade mobilized a large number of civilians from the base and spent most of the day moving the supplies, until the evening when all the supplies were moved.

In order to prevent emergencies, all the troops in the Taiyue Military Region were mobilized, and all main forces were given tasks to monitor the movements of the Japanese in their respective defense zones.

The county brigade, district squad and village militia were also mobilized to prevent the Japanese from retaliating after learning the situation.

At nine o'clock in the evening, all the members of the transport team returned, and Li Yunlong took Kong Hao to Ding Wei's new regiment.

Ever since seeing the power of the rocket launcher, the brigade commander is no longer willing to waste rockets.

Since so many supplies were seized in the battle of Zhangzhuang stronghold, he generously asked the 771st and 772nd Regiments to transfer ten people to report to the Independent Regiment, and also specially selected thirty elite veterans from the brigade training camp and allocated them to the Independent Regiment.

Also because Ding Wei's New 1st Regiment had many good talents suitable for special operations teams, Li Yunlong talked for a long time before getting the brigade commander to agree to attack another small artillery tower in exchange for the corresponding special operations team members.

In fact, this was also Li Yunlong's little plan. He wanted to seize heavy weapons such as mortars from the artillery tower. Otherwise, his independent regiment would not even have a gun, which would be extremely embarrassing.

Moreover, attacking the artillery tower with the brigade commander would be a losing business. If he acted together with Lao Ding's New Regiment, he could at least make some money from it.

At eleven o'clock in the evening, Political Commissar Wang walked in with a joyful smile on his face and brisk steps.

Brigade Commander Chen also couldn't wait to ask: "Old buddy, are the statistical results out yet?"

Political Commissar Wang took out a piece of paper from his pocket, opened it, and read excitedly:

"In this battle, we seized a total of 4 Type 1200 infantry guns, 15 rounds of shells; 110 Type heavy machine guns, rounds of bullets; and Type and Czech light machine guns, with rounds of machine gun bullets;"

"There are 1240 Type 28 rifles, and after counting, there are 500 rounds of rifle bullets. There are more than other brands of rifles, and the corresponding bullets are too diverse. We don't have time to count them yet."

"We also seized 1000 melon grenades made by the Japanese, and 1000 Jin-made grenades commonly used by the puppet army."

"In addition, there are 712 Mauser M215 rapid-fire pistols, 9 rounds of ammunition, and 120 Japanese Turtle Box pistols, with rounds of ammunition."

Hearing this, the brigade commander frowned and said:

"Why are there so many junk?"

"The Japanese's bastard bullet boxes are not popular with the troops below, so they can only be given to the militia. This is a complete waste of more than 10,000 rounds of bullets."
