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

Zhao Gang also hurriedly said: "Brigade Commander, Political Commissar, Captain Kong has been in our independent regiment for less than a month. According to my statistics, the weapons and ammunition seized can at least equip a brigade, not including a large amount of daily necessities."

"People like Captain Kong should stay in the frontline combat unit and lead the special operations team to help our large forces obtain a large amount of supplies."

Li Yunlong on the side added: "Yes, yes, yes, just like what Lao Zhao said, Xiao Kong is naturally suitable for staying in the front-line combat troops. Going to the rear arsenal is simply a waste of talent."

"Is it Lao Zhang from the logistics department who is behind this? I'll go and talk to him. He still owes me several favors, and I want him to pay them back now."

I heard Zhao Gang and Li Yunlong arguing against it, and they both seemed unwilling to release the person.

Brigade Commander Chen and Political Commissar Wang also looked at each other and smiled bitterly.

The two of them already knew this would be the result, which was why the brigade commander had that hesitant expression on his face.

He and the political commissar also knew the importance of Kong Hao and his special forces. In just these few battles, the Eighth Route Army's ammunition reserves doubled, and various daily necessities also increased significantly.

Because their military region is close to the water and gets the moon first, its weapons, equipment and logistical supplies are far superior to those of other brother units.

Otherwise, why would the commander of the 386th Brigade, who has always been decisive and ruthless, be hesitant about this matter?

However, Li Yunlong's loud voice gave him a headache, so he also said loudly:

"The Political Commissar and I understand what you are talking about, but this is the general direction of the headquarters. The deputy commander personally appointed the general. Who dares to object?"

When Li Yunlong heard that it was the boss's order, he didn't dare to say anything.

He might be able to put on a joking smile and complain a few words in front of the brigade commander, but in front of the usually serious boss, he probably wouldn't dare to even breathe.

At this time, the political commissar also stepped forward to smooth things over and said:

"After great efforts by the brigade commander and I, Kong Hao was only seconded for three months."

"When the time comes, Kong Hao will still return to our military region. After all, the special operations team is also extremely important."

"After a month of observation, we found that it is necessary to use the limited resources we have to form some small-scale special operations teams."

Li Yunlong was relieved when he heard that it was just a temporary transfer, but he then asked specifically:

"Political Commissar, what should we do if the time is up and the Arsenal refuses to release us?"

After hearing this, the brigade commander said angrily:

"If they don't release me then, I'd rather lose my reputation and go to the headquarters in person to ask for me. Is that okay?"

"By the way, the special forces team will also be accompanying us this time, so the related training cannot be stopped."

Seeing that the brigade commander had said so much, Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang had nothing more to say and could only obey the order and return to the independent regiment.

After the two left, Political Commissar Wang said worriedly:

"Old Chen, what do you think the head of the headquarters is thinking? Kong Hao led the special operations team and did a good job. Now the God of Wealth was transferred away. I understand that Li Yunlong and the others have objections."

The brigade commander said in a serious tone: "We are only considering the current situation, while the head of the headquarters is considering the long-term goal."

"Through the subsequent review of the battles of our 386th Brigade, we basically relied on Kong Hao's mysterious weapon."

"But the number of these rockets is limited. They will be used in critical battles in the future. Good steel must be used where it is needed most."

"In addition, the training of operators of the Unscrupulous Cannon is also progressing very slowly. This type of cannon does have too many shortcomings, just as Xiao Kong said, and it also wastes a lot of high-performance explosives."

"It would be a good idea to let Xiao Kong take the special forces to the arsenal for a while. We have been making too much noise here recently and have attracted most of the Japanese's attention."

"For the next period of time, we'd better keep a low profile, build high walls, store up food, and avoid provoking a large-scale battle between the two sides in advance."

After hearing this, Political Commissar Wang nodded and agreed with the brigade commander's statement.

"Since Kong Hao can develop high explosives and conscienceless cannons, he must have done some research on other military weapons. It would be a good idea to transfer him over to help for a while."

"If our troops want to develop, we can't always rely on seizing or purchasing ammunition. This method is unreliable."

"Once a large-scale battle occurs, if the ammunition consumption is too great, it will easily affect the continuity of the troops' combat operations."

"I originally wanted to transfer Kong Hao to the 386th Brigade as the logistics director. This guy is good at handling supplies, but the special operations team is also of utmost importance and is related to the future development of the troops."

He even joked about this:

“Sometimes, when a person knows too much, it is not a good thing, because everyone wants to know more.”

When the brigade commander heard this, he also started laughing.

"I hope Kong Hao can do well in the arsenal and produce a large number of weapons and ammunition to support our troops. But I am also worried that he will do too well and Minister Zhang will not release him."

"To describe it in one word, it's the trouble of happiness."

After saying this, the two looked at each other and then burst into laughter.

Meanwhile, at the headquarters hospital, Director Zhao was convening a meeting of all surgeons, and Minister Zhang was also invited to attend.

In fact, the reason why Minister Zhang was asked to come here was to let this steward of the Eighth Route Army find a way to bring back more medical supplies.

Director Sun from the First Surgery Department was the first to complain:

"Director, the scalpels in our Department of Surgery have been used for several years and cannot be sharpened."

"In fact, in foreign countries, no surgical knife can be sharpened before use, which poses a great risk to the healing of the patient's wound."

"The same is true for other surgical equipment. We have applied to purchase a new batch."

Dean Zhao did not respond directly, but turned around and asked:

"Lao Zhang, how are you doing over there? Are you having any difficulties?"

Minister Zhang was also on pins and needles at this time. The people in front of him were the most skilled doctors in the Eighth Route Army. Logically, the Logistics Department should meet all their needs.

But this scalpel is really hard to get. In order to prevent the Eighth Route Army from obtaining medical supplies, the Japanese have listed all items that can be used for surgery as prohibited items, and no one is allowed to buy or sell them.

Even large hospitals in the city have to undergo strict review if they want to purchase medical supplies.

Especially for things like scalpels, each professional doctor has a number and checks them regularly. If they are lost, your life may be in danger.

If some bandages, alcohol or needles can be secretly obtained, the scalpel is the most difficult to get.

They also couldn't bear to let some innocent doctors lose their lives, and the hospitals run by the Japanese were heavily guarded and it was impossible to get in.

They could buy some in the Kuomintang-controlled areas, but each one was priced sky-high, and with the Eighth Route Army's current financial resources, they simply could not afford it.

Moreover, the Military Control Commission also exercised strict control and would not allow any medical supplies to flow into the base.

In a word, getting some medical supplies now is almost impossible.
