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

Then they came to the carriage at the back, where an anxious doctor was already there, directing the guards to open all the boxes.

When they took out the contents and looked at them, they immediately exclaimed:

"It's the anesthetic, or so much of it."

When all the doctors heard that it was anesthetics, they gathered around. They had just been worrying about the anesthetics, and now what they wished for came true.

Chief of Staff Zhou found the quantity on the list again and said with a smile:

"There are nine hundred bottles of these anesthetics in total."

"Okay, okay. There are several surgeries tomorrow. We can give them anesthetics now. The wounded don't have to rely on willpower to endure. The surgeries should all be successful. With the addition of sulfa tablets to reduce inflammation, these outstanding soldiers will all survive."

Then everyone opened the box like they were opening a blind box, and every carriage that came behind made everyone present extremely happy.

"Twenty-five large bundles of sutures. Good stuff. They'll last a long time."

"Two thousand rolls of medical bandages. This is not bad. It can be distributed to the army medical personnel for first aid. It is definitely better than bandaging the wound with rags."

"One hundred and forty syringes and two thousand one hundred needles. This is really timely relief. The needles in their hospital have been reused countless times. Some of the needles are bald and can't be used for injections."

"Fortunately, our wounded are the most tolerant. Some of them can even endure surgery without anesthesia, so they don't care about the pain of the injection at all."

"Now, with these two thousand needles, the wounded will suffer less."

When everyone came to the last box and opened it, they found that the things inside were individually wrapped in oil paper. They immediately realized that these things were the most important.

The impatient director of the first surgery department pushed the guard aside and directly picked up an oil-paper bag to examine it.

"Oh my god, it's a scalpel, and it's 90% new. It's great."

Seeing this, several other directors came forward to count the supplies in the boxes. After all, scalpels were too scarce, and even three or five could solve their big problems.

After a final inventory, there were a total of thirty-six scalpels and forty surgical hemostatic forceps in the box. This solved a major problem for their headquarters hospital.

When Dean Zhao saw that all the supplies had been confirmed, he waved his hand and asked everyone to deliver the supplies to the warehouse.

Then, he expressed many words of gratitude to Chief of Staff Zhou, and also praised Li Yunlong of the Independent Regiment.

After these things were dealt with, Chief of Staff Zhou asked someone to bring another box, which was placed aside separately.

"Minister Zhang, there are 15,000 yuan in this box, 12,000 of which were handed over by the independent regiment, and our political commissar added 3,000 yuan from the military district account and handed it over to the headquarters together."

"The General Logistics Department needs a lot of funds to maintain the operation of the Eighth Route Army. This money will also make the leaders feel more relaxed."

Minister Zhang fell into deep thought when he saw the large box of silver dollars in front of him.

Now he was in the same dilemma as Brigadier General Chen, mainly because Kong Hao was too powerful and could be regarded as the strongest all-rounder in the Eighth Route Army.

Obtaining equipment, supplies, and money are also very important for the current Eighth Route Army, and the special forces' tactics are also very important.

However, developing an arsenal and being able to produce its own weapons and equipment is also extremely important for a military unit.

At this time, Minister Zhang sighed: "It's really hard to choose. It would be better if Kong Hao was only proficient in one thing, so that we don't have to worry about it."

But when he thought of this, he quickly shook his head to drive this sinful idea out of his mind.

After handing over the supplies, Chief of Staff Zhou took the special forces battalion back to the brigade headquarters.

Minister Zhang also returned to the headquarters with tens of thousands of dollars, and he had to quickly convert these funds into materials.

As for Li Yunlong, he had a gloomy face since he came back from the brigade headquarters. Anyone from the regiment headquarters who made a small mistake would be criticized.

Towards the afternoon, Political Commissar Zhao Gang called Kong Hao and Song Qingfeng to the regiment headquarters for a meeting.

He first told the brigade's order, and then wanted to ask Kong Hao for his opinion.

But before Kong Hao could speak, Kong Jie started to speak unhappily:

"I don't know what the leaders were thinking. Xiao Kong led the special operations team and did a good job. He won so many battles and seized so much supplies, but he was transferred to the rear to serve as a logistics personnel. I really can't understand it."

Li Yunlong was also very angry, and when he heard Kong Jie's complaint, his anger rose even more.

"I can't figure it out. I originally wanted to win a few more battles and expand the number of independent regiments to 5000 people. Now, all the plans have gone to waste."

Kong Hao also figured out the whole story at this time, and said with a hint of meaning:

“As the old saying goes: It is better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish.”

"It would be very dangerous for a unit to fight only by relying on weapons captured on the battlefield or purchased."

"If the arsenal can get on track, even if the weapons and ammunition produced are less in quantity and of lower quality, it will still be a source of water that can continuously improve the strength of our troops."

In fact, Li Yunlong and Kong Jie both understood these principles, but they just couldn't figure them out at the moment.

Now that I have heard Kong Hao's guidance, I no longer have any resistance.

However, he still specifically reminded him: "Xiao Kong, the brigade commander promised me that he would only let you go for three months. You must come back when the time is up."

Seeing Li Yunlong's pitiful look, Kong Hao quickly comforted him:

"I can't bear to leave you all. Once I finish my work at the Arsenal, I will definitely come back as soon as possible."

"Oh, right. I will lead two combat teams. The remaining half of the people will stay in the independent regiment under the leadership of the instructor. I have already written the training plan for the rest of the process. You just need to follow the training plan."

Seeing that Kong Hao had already made arrangements, everyone didn't say anything else.

The next morning, Kong Hao brought 24 special forces members, 50 trucks, and a transport company, totaling more than 300 people.

The main reason is that the materials they transported this time were very important, including 5 tons of pure copper and 500 million copper coins, which together could produce 200 million bullets.

There are also some unusable guns, which also need to be sent to the arsenal for repair or disassembled into parts to assemble other guns.

Originally, these things were transported by special militia transport teams, and were generally transported in small batches.

But now the special forces are going to the arsenal, and a large force is escorting them, so Zhao Gang asked Kong Hao to take the damaged guns over to save some trouble.

In addition, other units of the 386th Brigade also received the latest orders and sent troops to escort the independent regiment's transport team in their respective defense zones.

The distance from the independent regiment’s base to the Eighth Route Army headquarters arsenal is not short, and the transport team will need at least several days to travel.

Everything went smoothly at the beginning, but on the second day, the convoy encountered an emergency.

When Kong Hao and his men were marching on the road, they suddenly heard intensive gunfire in front of them.
