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

And since there are Type 92 infantry guns in the Japanese warehouse, there must be a stockpile of artillery shells. Now his artillery company finally has enough ammunition, and he won't be so petty in fighting with the Japanese in the future.

It's not that he wanted to plot, but he really had no choice. He was forced by the Japanese.

"Master Li, how many shells are there in this warehouse?"

"Report to the commander. After our detailed inventory, we have seized a total of two Type 90 infantry guns, one thousand rounds of ammunition, and ten Japanese Type mm light mortars, with a total of two thousand rounds of ammunition."

Upon hearing that he had obtained so many artillery shells at once, Commander Li was so excited that he walked around the two cannons in circles, but he was thinking in his head about how to deal with this unexpected wealth.

In fact, the situation in their military sub-district is very common. After fighting the Japanese for so many years, they have seized some heavy weapons such as the Type 92 infantry gun, but they are seriously short of ammunition.

After all, the number of artillery shells is limited. One less shell is fired. However, facing the densely packed artillery towers built by the Japanese, we only have weapons like the Type 92 infantry gun to cause damage to them. Many times, even if we want to keep them, we may not be able to.

Now, with these one thousand shells, we can at least allow the heavy weapons of several surrounding military divisions that have to be sealed up due to lack of shells. Even if one gun can get fifty shells, it can more than double our firepower for attacking tough situations.

"Li Dabenshi, you will prepare the transport convoy later and fire 700 rounds of these Type 92 infantry artillery shells. I will send someone to the military district and the superiors will deploy them."

"As for the mortars, our military sub-district will keep five, plus a thousand rounds of shells, and the rest will be sent to the military district."

"This way, each of the three main regiments will be allocated a mortar. With the remaining two and these Type 92 infantry guns, my artillery company will finally be worthy of its name."

Captain Liao and his men were also very excited after hearing this. This also meant that in the future, when they fought, they would have heavy firepower behind them, and ordinary Japanese soldiers would not dare to bully them with artillery.

In particular, the military sub-district artillery company still has three Type 92 infantry guns and 303 artillery shells. If three shells can destroy one of the Japanese artillery towers, it means that their military sub-district can destroy hundreds of artillery towers and can take a great initiative in future battles.

And with so many shells in hand, we can formulate some bold combat plans and deal the heaviest blow to the enemy.

Having ammunition but not using it and having no ammunition to use are two different things.

With the artillery company in hand, the Fifth Military Division still has three regiments of main forces, plus so many captured weapons, ammunition and military supplies, even if they fight against a regiment of the Japanese, they should be able to draw a tie in a short period of time.

After arranging all this, Commander Li continued to ask:

"By the way, where are Captain Kong and his men? Why can't we see them?"

"Commander, Captain Kong has led his team to Wuyi County. Before leaving, he specifically told us to hurry over after we finish our work here."

"Master Li, leave this to me. You can go there quickly with your county brigade."

The next step is to transport supplies and arrange various escort troops. Li Dabenshi’s county brigade is actually of little use. After all, it has just been formed and is composed of farmers who have put down their hoes.

The only advantage is that they are familiar with the terrain, so it would be great if they could cooperate with the mysterious special forces. At least they would be very good for cleaning up the battlefield.

After Li Dabenshi left, Captain Liao came over and asked in a low voice:

"Commander, what are the origins of Captain Kong and his men? They are too strong. I am also a veteran on the battlefield and have been in the army for seven or eight years. I always feel scared when I am with those people."

After hearing this, Commander Li's face darkened and he scolded in a low voice:

"Xiao Liao, don't ask about things you shouldn't know. Just do your own thing."

"Hurry up and prepare. I just took a look at the list of supplies seized this time. To be honest, it was completely beyond the expectations of the political commissar and me."

"First, take out 10,000 heavy machine gun bullets, 20,000 light machine gun bullets, 50,000 rifle bullets, 10,000 Mauser pistol bullets, 3,000 Japanese melon grenades, a mortar and 200 artillery shells, and send one to each of the other two regiments in our military sub-district."

"They are responsible for blocking the enemy's reinforcements coming from other counties, and they need a large amount of ammunition to hold off."

"By the way, select two companies of troops from your first battalion to serve as the escort team. Leave as soon as possible. The special agent company and reconnaissance company of the military sub-district will arrive tonight and they will take over the defense here."

Upon hearing the commander's arrangement, Battalion Commander Liao hurried down to carry it out. This was also his favorite thing to do.

The current battalion is strong in manpower and has sufficient ammunition. He doesn't want to stay here just to transport supplies.

As the saying goes, "If you don't return home when you are rich, it's like walking in the night in fine clothes."

The First Battalion now has a full set of Japanese equipment, and the ammunition is completely in line with the Japanese field troops. If they don't go out to cause trouble for the Japanese, wouldn't their changes in equipment be in vain?

So, Xie Gouzi's third company was left at Xiaobaozhuang, while he led the first company to the second regiment, led by Captain Liu, and the second company to the third regiment, led by Captain Miao.

This Captain Liu is his old leader. Now that he has such good equipment, he must show it off.

Commander Li then discovered that the First Battalion's equipment was exceptionally good, especially the light machine guns, which seemed to be much more than usual. At the same time, the warehouse was full of old Hanyang rifles and some old sleeve rifles.

Having served as a soldier for so many years, he could understand his subordinates' little thoughts after a little thought, but he didn't care. As the saying goes: "When the water is too clear, there will be no fish."

Anyway, these are his soldiers, and they are like meat rotten in the pot. It doesn't matter who they are given to. Besides, the first battalion of the first regiment is the absolute main force of their military sub-district, and they will be given priority in equipment replacement.

However, these old rifles cannot be wasted. After this battle, he can expand his troops with these weapons and equipment.

At this time, the person in charge of the Japanese city defense force in Wuyi County was named Isamu Terauchi, a native of Osaka. He was currently a captain, but he was originally a major battalion commander.

In the last battle, the special team he led was supposed to search for the main force of the Fifth Military Sub-district. However, he fell for Li Dabenshi's strategy of making a feint to the east and attacking in the west, and mistook the 20-plus-member force for our main force.

In the end, because his troops seized a marching pot, he reported the results of the battle to the division commander Yamashita. This was like stirring up a hornet's nest, which immediately exploded in the Japanese division headquarters.

According to the original code of the Japanese, the marching pot represents the senior leaders of our army. This is an unprecedented military achievement.

Next, Division Commander Yamashita mobilized most of the troops and asked for support from the Japanese North China Front Army in order to protect this marching pot.

In the end, Commander Yamamoto, who paid a huge price, only got an old marching pot.

If calculated by value, it would be worth about half a dollar, and the price the Japanese paid for it was at least more than 100,000 dollars. This was probably the biggest deal Li Dabenshi had ever made.
