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

Kong Hao had just witnessed the character of the people of Gaojiazhuang, and quickly responded with a smile:

"Village Chief Gao, if you have any problem, please tell us. Our troops will definitely help if they can solve it."

Village Chief Gao said cautiously: "I hope the troops can leave some weapons for us in Gaojia Village so that we can protect ourselves in the future."

"I also know that our troops are seriously short of weapons and bullets. I don't want more. Just two will be enough."

"Now that we have weapons in our hands, if lone Japanese soldiers or puppet troops enter the village in the future, we have strong weapons to fight them."

"For example, if we had guns in our hands this time, we could at least attract the attention of the Japanese and allow some villagers to escape, instead of being helpless and being killed by the enemy."

This is true, but Captain Lu looked embarrassed.

Now the main force is also short of weapons and ammunition. Take their 772nd Regiment for example. Although it is a main force regiment with an organization, there are still some soldiers who have not been allocated guns.

Before each battle, some soldiers were only given two bullets. Once the battle started, if the soldier with a gun in front was killed, the soldier with bullets in the back would take his place. If he was killed again, others would take his place.

This is the reality, the bloody reality. Most of the Eighth Route Army soldiers relied on their own flesh and blood to resist the Japanese planes and artillery.

It is rare for an independent regiment to be fully equipped and staffed, with each soldier receiving an average of 50 rounds of ammunition.

When the brigade commanders, division commanders, and even the heads of the headquarters learned about the specific organization and ammunition reserves of the independent regiment, they would use Li Yunlong's independent regiment as the number one main force.

Whenever there is a dangerous or fierce battle, the superiors will probably think of the Independent Regiment first. However, this kind of thing is the highest honor for all the troops of the Eighth Route Army.

The reason why the New 1st Regiment was so arrogant before was because it was too strong. Now it was Li Yunlong's turn to lead the New 1st Regiment to directly block the elite Sakata Regiment of the Japanese.

If it were the independent regiment from before, they might not be able to hold out for half a day, let alone two days. This is the difference in strength.

Of course, now the top force of the 386th Brigade is the Independent Regiment. The strength of the New st Regiment is no longer as strong as before and can only be ranked fifth at most.

In any army, everyone worships the strong. As long as you can win the battle, you are the best. No one will care even if you walk sideways.

When Village Chief Gao saw that neither of them spoke, the hopeful look in his eyes slowly dimmed.

He laughed at himself in his heart: "Now even the main force is short of guns and bullets. How can they, who are not even militiamen, be given guns? It's simply a pipe dream."

However, Kong Hao has his own ideas and always wants to do something for these respectable ordinary people.

"Captain Lu, I think our troops should provide some support to ordinary people so that they can also protect themselves to a certain extent."

"We also seized about 40 rifles this time, so we took out 10 Hanyang rifles from the puppet army and 100 rounds of ammunition and handed them over to Gaojiazhuang."

"Leaving two more soldiers to train them can also tie down a part of the Japanese troops and reduce the burden on the main force. Maybe in a year, our army will have an extra militia company."

When Captain Lu heard what Kong Hao said, he thought about it and nodded in agreement.

After all, these weapons and ammunition were seized by Kong Hao and his men, so there is nothing wrong with distributing them in this way.

However, Kong Hao continued, "Captain Lu, the remaining weapons and ammunition will be handed over to your reconnaissance company. Our troops do not need them for the time being."

Hearing this, Captain Lu was also very happy. With this batch of weapons and ammunition, their reconnaissance company could easily restore its previous strength.

Village Chief Gao continued, "Our place is strategically located and has always been a battleground for military strategists."

"During the Central Plains War, the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army stationed a large number of troops in this place. At that time, some villagers accidentally saw the army in the mountains."

"But now the Japanese are here, the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army has withdrawn and no longer cares about us civilians."

"Fortunately, your Eighth Route Army is here. Finally, we have someone to back us up, and the Japanese dare not act too arrogantly."

Kong Hao suddenly thought of a good idea, and quickly asked Village Chief Gao to lead their large group to hide in the mountains and leave tomorrow.

When everyone arrived, they found that there were indeed traces of garrison in the mountain, which made it convenient for Kong Hao to carry out the next plan.

"Brother Tongzi, help me use the existing conditions to transform a secret arsenal in the cave. How many merit points do I need?"

"This is easy. It only costs 200 merit points. You can get any style you want."

After hearing this, Kong Hao couldn't help but sigh: "It's so convenient to have a system. You can do big things with a little money."

After he finished telling his requirements for the secret arsenal, he began to think about what weapons would be best to exchange.

To be honest, our Commander Yan is good at doing business, but it is hard to describe his ability in fighting.

In the Chinese military, there are two sayings that have been circulating: The Central Army is composed of first-rate soldiers, second-rate officers, third-rate generals and mediocre commanders.

The first three points of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army were similar, but fortunately Commander Yan knew how to delegate power and did not become the legendary "micro-control master."

In addition, the economy of the entire Shanxi Province is also doing well. The Taiyuan Arsenal under its command is also one of the three largest arsenals in China, and its strength is very strong.

The arsenal was not only capable of producing Mauser pistols, rifles, light machine guns and heavy machine guns, it could even imitate mountain cannons, field cannons and howitzers. This was also the confidence that the small Shanxi-Suiyuan Army had 9 artillery regiments.

Kong Hao thought about it carefully and ordered:

"Brother Tongzi, please help me make a list of weapons that the Jinsui Army can use for exchange:"

"As you command, host."

1. 晋造六五式步枪 20支/1功勋；仿制三八大盖步枪，生产了二十万支，也算是难得。　　2. 晋造一七式手枪 20支/1功勋；仿制驳壳枪，性能还不错。　　3. 晋造一七式冲锋枪 15支/1功勋；仿汤姆森冲锋枪，也算是难得　　4. 晋造六五式轻机枪 4挺/1功勋；仿制捷克式，唯一的好处就是可以使用6.5毫米子弹　　5. 晋造四二式重机枪 2挺/1功勋；唯一的优点，就是自己制造的，便宜一点　　6. 晋造三一式迫击炮 1门/2功勋；60迫击炮，性格还不错。　　7. 晋造三六式手榴弹 500枚/1功勋李云龙最喜欢用的　　8. 晋造四四式高射机枪 1挺/1功勋‘’跟这个差不多吧，没找到原图　　9. 晋造四五式山炮 1门/3功勋；这种类型的山炮　　孔昊看着眼前的兑换清单，不由得感慨起来：这个阎老西有这么大的家底，可惜晋绥军不争气啊，就这样轻易被败光了。

Just like Zhang Xiaoliu of the Northeast Army, although he had such powerful weapons, he was easily driven out of the territory by the Japanese.

In fact, the weapons made in Jin are also very good. After all, many of them were improved during the imitation process and are more in line with China's national conditions.

Kong Hao calculated in his mind and issued the latest instructions:

"Brother Tongzi, please help me exchange 500 Jin-made Type 1000 pistols, 60 Jin-made Type submachine guns, and rounds of bullets."

This is because the bullets for the Mauser pistols and submachine guns made in Jin are interchangeable, both 11.9 mm, which saves trouble.

"Please help me exchange it for 3000 Jin-made Type 120 rifles, 60 Jin-made Type 100 light machine guns, Jin-made Type heavy machine guns, and million rounds of bullets."

These weapons, from rifles, light machine guns to heavy machine guns, all use 6.5*50mm bullets, the same as the Japanese Type rifle.

If you exchange them, you can use the captured bullets to fight without worrying about them becoming firewood sticks after you run out of bullets.

"There are also 40 Type 2 mortars made in Shanxi, with 12 rounds of shells; and 8000 Type mountain cannons made in Shanxi, with rounds of shells."

"Host, a total of 1072 merit points are needed, with merit points remaining."
