The same goes for the Czech light machine gun and the Type 99 light machine gun. Our troops are simply too short of ammunition. Every time during combat, the platoon leader would say the most: "Everyone, pay attention. You must save ammunition."

If we had enough ammunition, how could the battle be so difficult and how could the Japanese be so arrogant?

Fortunately, a lot of ammunition was seized this time, enough for all the troops of the 9th Column to fight several high-intensity battles.

When everyone opened the second to last warehouse, they found a pile of boxes inside. After opening them, they discovered a strange-looking light machine gun.

"Great Master, come here quickly, we found some strange guns, completely different from what we have seen before."

Everyone was already a little aesthetically fatigued by the large amount of supplies. At first, they were very interested in opening the boxes to see what was inside, but now that they are all boxes of similar styles, they are basically too lazy to even open them and just let people take them away.

Now when they heard that there was a strange gun, they immediately became very interested and ran over to check it out.

I saw a light machine gun being assembled and placed on an ammunition box. It looked very awkward, as weird as it could be.

This strange light machine gun is very similar to the Czech light machine gun commonly used by our troops, but the magazine is larger, so it should be able to hold more bullets, and the carrying handle and bipod are also different.

After seeing it, Li Dabenshi was a little surprised and said, "What on earth is this? It doesn't look like a Czech-style gun, and it doesn't look like a Type 22 rifle. It looks like a cross between the two guns."

These light machine guns were taken out by Kong Hao from the space. They were previously seized in You County. These things have become useless. It is not easy to equip the absolute main force of the Independent Regiment, otherwise it will bring great trouble to the logistics personnel.

But this is also pretty good stuff, just right for the troops of the 9th Column. We originally received fifty guns, and there are still 100,000 corresponding bullets. This time we will use all of them to arm our army.

Kong Hao smiled and explained: "I know this type of light machine gun. Its scientific name is Type 96 light machine gun. We usually call it a crooked handle light machine gun."

"This type of light machine gun is usually used by the Japanese field troops, many of them are from the Kwantung Army, and rarely appears in our area."

"It actually absorbed the advantages of the Type 99 light machine gun and the Czech light machine gun, and was specially produced. In the end, it was made into a weird thing, but it is still usable."

"The most important thing is that this light machine gun uses 6.5mm Arisaka bullets. In addition to being able to capture a large number of them on the battlefield, we can also produce some of them ourselves. It is more suitable for our troops to use."

After saying that, he walked to the front of the light machine gun, took out a special bayonet from a box beside it, and installed it skillfully.

Seeing this, Li Dabenshi immediately laughed:

"I've only seen bayonets on rifles, but this is the first time I've seen a bayonet on a light machine gun. Isn't it a joke to let a light machine gunner fight with a bayonet on the battlefield?"

"Captain Kong, what do you think the Japanese are planning to do with this design?"

"What else can they want? Of course they want to use hand-to-hand combat as a display of their bravery. The Japanese are promoting martial arts. Since riflemen have to fight with bayonets, light machine gunners are no exception. I've even seen the Japanese technicians trying every possible way to install bayonets on submachine guns."

"However, this light machine gun has good performance and is an excellent choice to replace the Japanese light machine guns."

After hearing this, everyone thought this was a great idea. In fact, the performance of the Japanese Type 99 light machine gun was very poor, and the operating requirements were very high. If there was really no other choice, who would settle for such garbage?

This was also a helpless measure. Their own arsenal could not produce standard light machine guns, and the Type 99 light machine guns captured from the Japanese on the battlefield were also treated as treasures. This was the tragedy of a country's underdeveloped industry.

No matter how bad the Type 99 light machine gun is, it is a weapon that can fire continuously and is very useful on the battlefield. At least it can deal a heavy blow to the enemy.

Of course, if there are better light machine guns, the soldiers will switch without hesitation without even a trace of nostalgia.

Captain Liao ordered his men to replace all of the Type 99 light machine guns in the first battalion with straight-handled ones. Of course, the replaced Type 99 light machine guns would be sent to the other two battalions in the first regiment to strengthen the strength of the troops.

As the saying goes: "A building near water will see the moon first, and flowers and trees facing the sun will see spring first."

For some good things, we must give priority to our old troops. With the support of this batch of light and heavy weapons and ammunition, the combat effectiveness of a regiment will definitely be raised to a higher level.

When everyone arrived at the last warehouse and saw the things inside, they were immediately shocked. Why were there so many deadly things in it?

After seeing this, Captain Liao and Li Dabenshi simply discussed it and immediately dispatched a squad of soldiers to guard the warehouse. No one was allowed to approach without their orders.

Then he sent someone on horseback to notify the commander and political commissar who were commanding the battle in the next county, and asked the two leaders to come in person to deal with it.

If it were ordinary guns and ammunition, it wouldn't matter if the two of them took a little more, but if the two of them dared to steal the things in this warehouse, the commander and the political commissar would probably demote them directly to privates.

After Commander Li received the secret letter from Li Dabenshi, his face suddenly changed. The enemy actually had such good stuff in Xiaobaozhuang, and he must not let anything get into trouble.

He first gathered the people from the artillery platoon of the military sub-district and rode with him to the Xiaobaozhuang stronghold. He also specifically ordered the special forces company and reconnaissance company of the military sub-district to rush there at a forced march.

It was not until five o'clock in the afternoon that Commander Li arrived at Xiaobao Village. As soon as he got off his horse, he shouted loudly:

"Cannon, where is my cannon?"

Li Dabenshi quickly led him to the last warehouse. After opening the door, Commander Li looked at the two assembled Type 92 infantry guns in front of him. Suddenly, he felt like he saw his dream lover. He stood between the two guns, touching one with each hand, and was reluctant to let go.

His Fifth Military Sub-district had a very difficult time. Three entire regiments were supported by only one Type 92 infantry gun. The most speechless thing was that the entire military sub-district had only three artillery shells left.

He couldn't tell this to other old comrades, mainly because he was afraid of being embarrassed. A cannon without shells is no more useful than a machine gun.

These three artillery shells were saved by him and the political commissar through great means. Once, the two had approved the use of artillery, but they finally had someone take the order back halfway.

If one of the three rounds is used up, there will be only two rounds left. If you encounter an emergency, the two rounds probably won't be of much use. The three rounds in stock are the last bottom line.
