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

After Captain Bai finished his meal, he took the kettle from the guard, took a few sips, and then smiled with satisfaction.

"It feels so good to have a full stomach. I haven't eaten such delicious compressed biscuits in a long time."

"Our troops also seized some before, but they were all stored as strategic materials and were usually taken out for emergency use when the most critical moment came."

"Even if I eat it, I won't eat it like this. I usually put a few compressed biscuits in a big pot of porridge, or put a can of food in a big pot of wild vegetables. That's the most delicious thing."

"Eating like this is simply a luxury. Even a spendthrift cannot spend money like this. I feel guilty now."

Zhang Dabiao smiled and comforted them, "The Japanese have stored at least 6,000 tons of food in Youxian County. There are several warehouses full of these compressed biscuits and canned beef. We won't be able to finish them even if we eat them every day in a short period of time."

"Oh, right. We have other tasks to perform later. Send a few people to lead the way for us. We will first deliver some Type 92 infantry artillery shells to other troops. We will try to destroy the Japanese artillery towers in other places as soon as possible and open up the entire transportation line."

"Also, it would be best if your large forces first go to the county town to replenish some weapons and ammunition to improve the combat effectiveness of the troops."

When Captain Bai and several battalion commanders of the Second Regiment heard that they could replenish ammunition, they were overjoyed. This was something they had always dreamed of doing.

Their Second Regiment can be considered lucky. They had met the special operations team led by Kong Hao before, changed their weapons twice, and have become the strongest regiment in the Second Military Region. Now they have met the Independent Regiment and are about to replace their equipment. This is really a great joy.

Sometimes, luck is very important. Once a person is lucky, a large amount of weapons and equipment will be delivered directly into his arms.

After finishing their meal, Zhang Dabiao and Captain Bai separated and went to carry out their respective tasks.

On Chu Yunfei's side, after a morning of confiscation, he had confiscated all the property of the Japanese devils and puppet troops in You County. As for the property of ordinary people and Chinese merchants, he did not touch a single thing, which won unanimous praise from the people in the city.

In order to rectify military discipline and prevent some bad elements from doing bad things, Chu Yunfei suggested that one platoon be selected from each of the 358th Regiment, the Independent Regiment, the Sichuan Army Corps and the Shaanxi Army Corps to form a supervisory and inspection company.

The four forces can supervise each other and restrain each other, jointly maintain the public security of You County, and promptly expose the scum in the army.

In fact, the Eighth Route Army's military discipline was impeccable. The Sichuan Army and the Shaanxi Army had too few people, and Chu Yunfei was most worried about his own 358th Regiment.

If some people secretly took some supplies when confiscating the Japanese and puppet troops' supplies, the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army would be in great disgrace.

Li Yunlong agreed with this proposal wholeheartedly and even praised Chu Yunfei for his move, calling him a true gentleman.

At noon the next day, Zhao Gang led other troops to rush over and immediately took over the material transportation matters. This was the area that he, as the political commissar, was best at.

About two hours later, the four major regiment commanders of this battle gathered at the Japanese city defense headquarters to discuss the next battle plan and also divide the money.

To be honest, the supplies in the city were pure chicken ribs for the Sichuan Army and the Shaanxi Army. They were tasteless to eat and a pity to throw away.

In the coming period of time, the main force will definitely find a way to retreat. I heard that the independent regiment has opened up the transportation channel between Youxian and their base. The two regiments can only replenish some weapons, ammunition and food, and they have no ability to transport the rest.

The same is true for the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army. Although they have a large number of people, they are just combat troops and their transportation capacity is limited.

Of course, in addition to the Eighth Route Army, they have now mobilized all the people and can transport large amounts of supplies at any time.

However, Chu Yunfei was just a little amazed at the mobilization ability of the Eighth Route Army, and a little envious, but he did not have any jealousy.

In fact, in his mind, the interests of the nation are above everything else. If these supplies cannot be taken away, they can only be burned. It is better to give them to the Eighth Route Army to improve their strength, so that they can more effectively fight against the invaders and defend our country.

He is a pure soldier who only wants to defend his country. He has no interest in political affairs and does not want to get involved in those messy things.

Zhao Gang first reported the total amount of seized items: "After a morning of counting, we have obtained a total of 183 million Japanese puppet assets in You County: 289 million silver dollars, and various gold bars totaling nearly 12 kilograms. In addition, we also searched the Japanese bank and found 6 US dollars, 62 British pounds, and Japanese yen."

Hearing that so much money had been seized at once, everyone present smiled, especially Captain Long, whose face was almost as bright as a flower.

You know, among the four forces present, the Sichuan Army is the poorest. Although the Eighth Route Army is also in difficulties, they have bases everywhere and can be self-sufficient in food. Unlike the Sichuan Army, they fight as foreign troops and suffer bullying everywhere.

Before this battle, Li Yunlong made a suggestion that if You County was successfully captured, the money obtained would be divided equally among the four regiments. As for the supplies, how much they could transport would depend entirely on their abilities.

Captain Long and Captain Qin would definitely agree with this distribution plan. To be honest, if it could be distributed equally, both regiments would owe Li Yunlong a big favor. It's because their troops are the weakest and are just there to make up the numbers.

Chu Yunfei was only interested in saving the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army from danger and did not care about the seized supplies. After all, the 358th Regiment had never been short of supplies. He only had to focus on fighting, and the logistics department would naturally help him with the rest.

The other three regiments were different. They would calculate the gains and losses before every battle and try their best to capture more than they consumed.

Captain Long carefully calculated in his mind that if it was divided equally, their Sichuan Army Corps could get at least millions of dollars.

Such a huge amount of funds, not to mention his infantry regiment, is a huge amount even for the Sichuan Army’s division headquarters or even the army headquarters, and can solve many problems encountered by the Sichuan Army.

However, just when Captain Long and Captain Qin were feeling happy, an even bigger surprise came.

Li Yunlong smiled and said, "Everyone, our independent regiment will not participate in the distribution of this money. After all, we have transported so many supplies, which is already a big profit."

Although millions of dollars may seem like a lot, it is nothing compared to the supplies obtained from You County.

Transporting so many supplies will inevitably make others feel uncomfortable and cause some people to refuse to cooperate, but giving up the share of the money can make the other three parties owe him a favor, so that no matter how much supplies are transported, it will not arouse jealousy from others.

Besides, the Sichuan Army and the Shaanxi Army are the most determined troops to fight the Japanese invaders, so it is not a loss to give them this money. In the end, the money will basically be exchanged for food, weapons and ammunition, and appear on the battlefield to fight the Japanese invaders.
