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

Hearing that there were so many oceans at once, the commander and the political commissar could no longer sit still and stood up to check.

Now all the bases are in a very difficult situation. They don't have much money in their hands. Basically, the little money they have is used to buy supplies, such as cotton cloth for making military uniforms, cotton for making cotton-padded clothes, etc. There are also important supplies that the Logistics Department requires all troops to collect, which cost a lot of money.

Even though their Fifth Military Sub-district had a large number of people, they did not have much money. In total they only had a little over three hundred dollars, which they had saved by living frugally.

To be honest, this amount of money can only be used in the most urgent moments. I would never spend it at other times. I have saved this money for a long time.

"Li, you are very capable and have awareness. Our military sub-district is short of funds. After the battle is over, the political commissar and I will ask our superiors for credit for your county brigade."

"Commander, Political Commissar, we have more. We also seized ten large yellow croakers and eighty small yellow croakers. These gold bars were seized from several puppet army squad leaders we killed."

After saying this, he opened the box containing the gold bars, and a dazzling light suddenly came out from inside.

If the oceans before were a surprise to the two leaders, then these gold bars were a delight to them. Some of these things could solve big problems for the troops.

However, the two leaders had seen many storms and soon reacted. After the commander closed the box, he smiled and said:

"Okay, you did a good job on this matter. You really have to be careful with things like this that are life-threatening."

"You should go back first and build a good relationship with Captain Kong. It will definitely bring you great benefits in the future."

"Our troops will set out this afternoon, and the first battalion will be back tomorrow morning. You guys know Captain Liao, so it will be much easier to cooperate in combat."

In the end, Commander Li still cared about his subordinates very much and gave Li Da some special advice. What kind of achievements he could make in the future depended on his own luck.

But then, Li Dabenshi complained again: "Commander, Political Commissar, our county brigade only had about 20 people before. Except for Suanpan, Shitou and me, the longest time the others have been in the army is only a few months."

"The number of people in the county brigade is increasing rapidly now, and we need some experienced veterans. Otherwise, we will just be a bunch of rabble and won't be of much use."

Commander Li thought about it carefully and found that what Li Dabenshi said made a lot of sense. There were only twenty or so people in the Wuyi County Brigade before, so it didn't matter if they did whatever they wanted. They didn't have the energy to take care of such a small matter.

But now, after hearing about the organization of the county brigade, they have to take care of it. This is the weapons and equipment of a main battalion. And since so much ammunition can be handed over, I think Li Daben should have kept a lot of it. They should be given certain support.

After thinking this through, he smiled and said, "How many people do you want?"

"At least a hundred people, and they have to be veterans who have served in the army for more than a year."

Upon hearing this number, Commander Li's teeth began to itch again, and he had an urge to curse. Veterans of this level are treasures wherever they go, and this Li Da is really bold to ask for such a large number without any hesitation.

At this time, the political commissar on the side couldn't stand it anymore and said quickly:

"There is a shortage of elite veterans like these everywhere. It is impossible for our military sub-district headquarters to transfer so many of them at once, which will affect the combat effectiveness of the troops below."

"But Political Commissar, although the number of our county brigade has increased, if we don't have enough veterans, we won't be able to quickly improve the combat effectiveness of the troops. Even if we have equipment, it will be useless. If we lose the battle, just don't blame me."

Hearing this, Commander Li seemed to have made up his mind and said happily:

"How about this? I'll give you 30 people, transferred from the military sub-district training team, including two deputy company commanders, two deputy instructors, eight platoon-level cadres, and the rest can be squad leaders. With these people joining, the framework of the county brigade can be set up, and there will be no major problems in daily training and combat command."

"Originally, I was going to use these officers to expand the main force below. Now I'll focus on your county brigade first."

"The rest of the matter will depend on you to figure out. After you win a few good battles, we will transfer you from the county brigade and place you directly under the leadership of the military sub-district."

Hearing that the commander was so helpful this time, Li Dabenshi was overjoyed. The gains this time were completely beyond his expectations.

He just wanted a hundred veterans, and then put them in the army to slowly train and promote them. With the veterans leading the new recruits, it would take half a year to improve the strength of the county brigade.

Under the current circumstances, it is not enough to form a team just by having the weapons and equipment in place. The personnel must also receive rigorous training.

The thirty people given by the commander have completely solved the current difficulties encountered by the county brigade. Within two months, Li Dabenshi will be confident that he will be able to lead a powerful force.

After Li Dabenshi left, the commander and the political commissar continued to discuss matters.

"Political Commissar, this is what I think. The military district is also in a difficult situation right now. There is a lack of funds everywhere. The leaders have spread their wings too wide. Of the 1,500 yuan, our military sub-district will keep 500 yuan, and the remaining 1,000 yuan will be directly handed over to the military sub-district."

"As for the gold bars, even less so. If we hand them all over, I guess the military district won't be able to keep them and will hand them over to the headquarters."

"I will lead a guard company and set off immediately to escort these supplies. At the same time, I will also inform the commander of the military district about our military sub-district's combat operations in Wuyi County. I hope to get the cooperation of the main forces of the military district."

After hearing this, Political Commissar Zhang nodded quickly and carefully instructed:

"Don't worry, I'm at home. Be careful on the road and go home early."

When Li Dabenshi rushed to the county brigade headquarters overnight, he learned that Kong Hao had already taken his men to scout the enemy situation, and now only the new recruits of the county brigade were left to undergo basic military training.

Thanks to the victories won in the past two days, the nearby people also learned about the reputation of the Wuyi County Brigade of the Eighth Route Army, and sent their young men to the team so that they could protect their hometown in the future.

In just half a day, the county brigade expanded to 400 people. This was the result of special selection, and some of those who were really unqualified were returned.

Of course, such troops cannot go to the battlefield and they need to undergo a long period of training.

However, Li Dabenshi had already learned from Kong Hao that the county brigade would basically not participate in the subsequent battles. At most, they would just do some tasks of transporting supplies. These were the strengths of the new recruits. After all, they did farm work every day and everyone had a lot of strength.

He first handed over the thirty veterans who had returned with him to Ding Dasuanpan and assigned them to various troops. These veterans would lead the new recruits in military training.
