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

Next, we will focus on commending the 772nd Regiment led by Commander Cheng. He pioneered a unique tactic that allowed him to destroy enemy tanks without causing any damage on the battlefield using recoilless guns. He also destroyed three enemy medium tanks, which is an impressive record.

In the past, even if our troops could defeat a tiny tank of the Japanese, it would be considered a great achievement.

But now that our troops have anti-tank weapons, the criteria for judging have also been raised. At least the enemy's medium tanks must be destroyed to count. If we continue to talk about those tiny tanks that break with a single poke, we will be laughed at.

Finally, the political commissar also praised some other troops. Everyone had won a lot of victories, although they were not big wins, but the cumulative number was very impressive.

Then comes the highlight, which will be announced by the commander.

"Everyone, be quiet. I'm sure you all know about the competition at the Arsenal. Yes, our military region won first place this time."

"In total, we have obtained a mortar battalion with about 20 mortars and 100 grenade launchers. Currently, all the artillery and ammunition have been transported to the military district warehouse. Now let's talk about how to distribute these unexpected surprises."

As soon as he finished speaking, a group leader beside him said, "How else can we divide it? We must divide it according to the contribution of each group. This way it will be fair and just."

The speaker was Captain Liu, whose regiment had been in existence for almost a year and whose combat effectiveness was ranked in the middle of the military region. This allocation was most beneficial to their regiment.

Of course, when these words were spoken, the two regiment commanders who had just been formed at the beginning of the battle were not very happy and they all spoke out in opposition.

The main reason is that their regiment has just been formed and its combat effectiveness is very weak. The tasks assigned to them are basically just for show, and they have no outstanding combat records at all. If they were ranked according to their merits, it is estimated that their regiment would get nothing.

Next, the entire conference room began to argue. Some people strongly agreed, while others strongly opposed. It was no different from a vegetable market.

At this time, the commander knocked on the table to ask everyone to be quiet, and then asked with a smile:

"Li Yunlong, you have made the greatest contribution to this battle. Can you tell me how to distribute these weapons and ammunition?"

His words implied the credit for capturing the regiment's flag, but no one knew about it. However, there is no doubt that the independent regiment's obvious credit can overshadow that of other regiments.

Seeing that he was being appointed as a general, Li Yunlong kept complaining in his heart: "It's just twenty mortars. What's there to fight for? My independent regiment doesn't need them."

The independent regiment now has more than 10,000 soldiers. All the soldiers are well-trained and equipped with complete weapons and equipment. The first three main battalions are equipped with mortar platoons, an infantry company and a mortar squad.

Even if all these mortars were given to the Independent Regiment, it would only be icing on the cake. Now his standards have become much higher. Ever since the Independent Regiment was equipped with two Italian mountain guns, he has begun to look down on artillery below the Type 92 infantry gun.

Of course, if it were 20 105mm howitzers, he would definitely fight for it.

However, he certainly didn't dare to say what was in his mind, as this would easily arouse public anger. It's like when everyone is eating steamed corn bread, and you take out a full banquet and eat it. The worst thing is that you smack your lips and complain that the pig's trotters are not tasty. It would be strange if you don't get beaten for this.

Li Yunlong sat upright and said loudly: "I suggest that all these mortars and grenade launchers be distributed to the regiments behind the military zone's combat effectiveness platoon. At least one infantry battalion should have a mortar. This will have a deterrent effect on the Japanese's most troublesome grenade launcher tactics."

"Also, I would like to make it clear here that our independent group will not participate in the distribution."

As soon as these words were spoken, the conference room suddenly became extremely quiet. Everyone opened their mouths wide and received the words without replying. This was very unlike Li Yunlong.

In the past, when the spoils were divided, if Li Yunlong got one less rifle, he would probably complain for a long time. But now, based on the merits of the independent regiment, they can at least get three mortars and five grenade launchers. This is not as simple as a few rifles and grenades.

As long as any basic regiment has so many heavy weapons and fights a few beautiful battles, it will have the opportunity to join the ranks of the main force regiments.

Even the New 1st Regiment, which defeated the Sakata Regiment and killed its commander Sakata, only had one mortar and insufficient ammunition. This also shows the preciousness of the mortar.

But even so, many of the newly formed infantry regiments of the Eighth Route Army did not have any mortars and could only rely on grenade launchers to hold their ground.

Ding Wei, who was standing by, also came to his senses at this time and immediately spoke out:

"Old Li, what are you crazy about? What nonsense are you talking about?"

Captain Cheng and Captain Xu also took the opportunity to agree. Only the honest Kong Jie, who knew Li Yunlong best and knew that he must be planning something big, said nothing.

The commander did not expect that Li Yunlong would come up with such a good idea. He and the political commissar were originally racking their brains over how to distribute it, and now that Li Yunlong has stepped forward, they can just take advantage of the situation.

Anyway, even the independent regiment with the most military merits gave up the distribution, so it was difficult for others to say anything. Besides, he didn't have to be a bad guy, which was a huge good thing.

So he and the political commissar looked at each other and quickly passed Li Yunlong's proposal, but some were happy and some were sad.

Those regiment commanders whose combat power was at the bottom all looked at Li Yunlong with gratitude. This Li Yunlong was really a good man.

Faced with this situation, it was the political commissar's turn to step in. He started to scold people with a dark face:

"Look at you all, arguing over these little things. What a joke! Why don't you learn from Li Yunlong's overall perspective? Only when everyone's equipment is improved can we improve the overall strength of our troops."

Political Commissar Wang usually doesn't get angry, but when he does, it's a big deal.

As for the commander, although he often scolds people, and he scolds them very harshly, he is still very caring towards his subordinates. In addition, he is a humorous person, and his subordinates often like to joke with him.

Now that the political commissar had played the villain, it was his turn to play the hero. He smiled and said:

"Things like mortars are just small matters. That's it. Now I'm going to tell you about a very good thing that has a lot to do with everyone."

"Our logistics department has opened up a secret transportation line to import oil from abroad. In the future, we will also have a steady supply of gasoline for our troops to use."

"The headquarters asked our military region to train more motorcycle and car drivers, and to make use of the trucks and motorcycles that we had seized that were out of fuel."

"According to the regulations of our superiors, our military region can be allocated five tons of gasoline per month, which is more than enough for us to use for a period of time."
