Bright Sword: Develop independently and level up ten times at the beginning

Lin Xu looked strange, his eyes narrowed and scanned around.

【叮！恭喜宿主及其麾下士兵击杀蝗协军骑兵433人，奖励：M1式卡宾枪*411、G43半自动步枪*11，子弹*420000、银元6923枚！】

[Ding! Congratulations to the host and his soldiers for successfully annihilating the Locust Alliance Cavalry Battalion. You've received an additional bonus: an M1 Carbine Rifle Production Line!] (Includes basic equipment such as generators, lathes, diesel engines, and the corresponding ammunition production line.)

If you kill a puppet cavalryman, there is a high probability that an M1 carbine will be dropped. Of course, this is not absolute.

After destroying the Locust Association Cavalry Battalion...

A complete M1 carbine production line was revealed!

It is better to teach people to fish than to teach people.

If this production line can be established, won’t we be able to have as many M1 carbines as we want in the future?

In the future, there will naturally be no shortage of cavalry-specific guns and bullets.

Just getting this production line up and running seems... not that easy.

It's a bit embarrassing to have a machine but no one is available.

Lin Xu put aside these messy thoughts.

Let’s build the cavalry company first.

"Old Lin."

"Did you just say innovation?"

"No Type 44 rifle?"

"What for?"

"Should we equip the cavalry with G43 semi-automatic rifles?"

"It's not impossible, it's just a little long."

Li Yunlong gestured the length of the G43 semi-automatic rifle and muttered to himself.

Lin Xu smiled slightly: "It's an M1 carbine."

As Lin Xu spoke, he took out the M1 carbine.

"The total length is only 457mm, less than half a meter."

"The Type 1280 rifle is 1110mm thick, the Type 995 rifle is mm thick, and even the Type rifle is mm thick..."

"But the M1 carbine is less than half as short as those."

"A typical Mauser pistol is about 288mm long, equivalent to an M1 carbine but less than two Mauser pistols... It's somewhere between a rifle and a pistol, but its range far exceeds that of a pistol, and its rate of fire far exceeds that of a rifle."

"The bullets used in the M1 carbine are also of a smaller type. Because the gun is shortened, its effective range is only about two to three hundred meters."

"But this M1-style carbine uses a 30-round curved magazine and can fire bullets in bursts."

"Old Li."

"Try it on yourself."

As Lin Xu spoke, he handed over the M1 carbine.

"Pocket rifle."

"It weighs only about half the weight of a Type 38 rifle."

"This magazine is quite large."

As Li Yunlong was talking, he immediately came to the shooting range outside.

bang bang bang...

bang bang bang...

In one minute, thirty bullets were successfully fired, and eighty percent of them hit the bull's eye.

"What a gun!"

"The recoil is about the same as a pistol, but the accuracy and range are much better than a pistol."

"And the rate of fire is very fast."

"Who needs a pistol when you have a carbine like this?"

"If this carbine could be mass-equipped in the cavalry..."

"That's equivalent to increasing the cavalry's firepower by more than ten times!"

"Horse infantry?"

"Old Lin!"

"You're really something, kid!"

"I can always get some of this good equipment."

"Old Lin."

"Is there a machine gun that can be used on horseback?"

Li Yunlong widened his eyes and began to push his luck further.

"Don't even think about it."

"The guns used by cavalry must be light and easy to operate."

"As for the machine gun... the recoil is too great for immediate use."

"Even if I get a few Gatling guns, they won't work on a warhorse."

Lin Xu answered.

"Gatling Bodhisattva?"

"What kind of weapon is that?"

"Bodhisattva also uses machine guns?"

Li Yunlong said in surprise.

"We'll find out later."

Lin Xu said perfunctorily.

The next day, Lin Xu convened a small military meeting in the New 1st Regiment.

"Form a cavalry company."

"The cavalry company is composed of three cavalry platoons, with a total of 120 men!"

"Sun Desheng will be the company commander!"

"The cavalry company's personnel were drawn partly from the first infantry battalion, and partly from the puppet cavalry who had surrendered."

"Desheng, you'll be responsible for selecting the soldiers. Remember, it's better to have fewer than the wrong ones! We must pay close attention to the ideological qualities of the puppet cavalry who surrender. Lao Zhao, you'll be responsible for screening Desheng. You two will work together later."

Lin Xu looked at Sun Desheng and Zhao Gangdao.

"Yes! Captain!"

……

Plus the newly formed cavalry company.

Now the entire New 1st Regiment has more than 800 main combat troops.

In addition, hundreds of new recruits are also undergoing training in full swing.

After this batch of new recruits completes their training, Lin Xu will be able to expand another battalion as quickly as possible.

Everything is moving in a better direction.

Lin Xu made a summary.

In fact, the reason why the New 1st Regiment was able to recover so quickly and even become more powerful than before was mainly because they kept defeating the Japanese and got equipment.

Every time when fighting against the Japanese and the second devils, with the same number of people, the weapons and equipment of the New 1st Regiment can have an absolute advantage.

Maxim suppressed the Type 92 heavy machine gun.

Czech-style killing Type 99 light machine gun.

The G43 semi-automatic rifle crushes the Type rifle.

Even the M1 carbine could suppress the Japanese Type rifle.

A man will not be rich without windfall, and a horse will not be fat without night grass!

To sum it up in one sentence: fighting the Japanese is the best way.

"Captain."

"Information has arrived from Ping'an County."

The monk came over and handed over a wax-dripping envelope with a plum blossom imprint on it.

Lin Xu showed a look of surprise on his face. This was the mark of the agreement between him and Aso Lola.

How long had Aso Rola been in Ping'an County? And she had already gathered intelligence?

Lin Xu opened it immediately.

It begins with Aso Rola reporting on her situation over the past few days.

It was said that the sushi restaurant she opened in Ping'an County was doing very well, and many Japanese officers came there to eat.

What follows is what she has seen and heard recently.

One of the pieces of information attracted Lin Xu's attention.

"The Japanese want to attack the 358th Regiment?"

Lin Xu frowned...

"Monk!"

"go with!"

"Call the deputy commander and political commissar and the others over."

"I have something important to discuss."

After Lin Xu gave his instructions, he rushed straight to the meeting room.

……

Twenty minutes later.

In the conference room.

Lin Xu briefly introduced the situation.

"Do you understand everything?"

"The Japanese 4th Mixed Brigade's deputy commander, Masao Nojiri, is about to attack Chu Yunfei's unit of the 358th Regiment of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army stationed in Pingnan Town."

"This time, Nojiri Masao not only mobilized most of the 4th Mixed Brigade, but also gathered the 8th Mixed Brigade of the Locust Alliance Army."

"This battle."

"The Japanese were aiming to destroy the 358th Regiment."

"What do you think? Tell us what you think."
