"Did you seize the heavy machine gun?" Kong Jie immediately asked the question that interested him the most. His eyes kept turning, trying to find the heavy machine gun he wanted from the mule and horse team.
"A heavy machine gun and a mortar! We seized them from the Japanese stronghold in the enemy-occupied area. They were put in boxes and not yet assembled. I heard that the Japanese troops in the county temporarily placed them in the stronghold, and they gave us an advantage!"
"We also seized nine crooked light machine guns, kept two, and brought back seven!"
"Eight grenades, bring back six!"
"84 shots for the 38 cap, 54 shots for the official Chinese rifle, 73 shots made in Hanyang, and 18 shots for the old slide!"
"I left the old sleeves made in Hanyang to the armed workers team, and also left them 10,000 rounds of ammunition. The 38-year-old Gaihezhong was officially brought back to the base area, with a total of 138 long guns!"
"33 boxes of 65-caliber bullets, 21 boxes of 79-caliber bullets, six boxes of hand grenades, 19 boxes of wooden handle grenades, three boxes of grenades, five boxes of heavy machine gun bullets, and ten boxes of artillery shells. Basically, they were all seized from the Japanese strongholds."
"I also brought back 3,500 kilograms of white flour, 1,200 kilograms of rice, more than 1,100 kilograms of pork, six boxes of canned meat, and more than 500 kilograms of oil, salt, sauce and vinegar..."
"114 puppet troops were captured, and all other Japanese and puppet troops were wiped out by us!"
"Commander, our cannon platoon can finally live up to its name!" the chief of staff interjected with excitement after hearing this.
"It's true!" Kong Jie was also so happy that he couldn't close his mouth from ear to ear.
Looking at the bundles of rifles, boxes of ammunition, and bags of flour on the horseback... I wish I could rush into the horse team to check them all right now.
Reason made him take back his right foot that he had already stepped out, and turned around and ordered: "Inform the cooking class to prepare lunch for the guard class, and ask for a pot of braised pork."
"Soldiers must celebrate such a big victory."
In the next two days, the chief of staff was busy without touching the ground. He was either leading troops to meet the troops who had withdrawn from enemy-occupied areas, or he was busy counting the results of the battle and sending back the military workers' trophies to the warehouse. He didn't even have time to eat.
I was in a very good mood, with a smile on my tired face all the time, and everyone I saw was smiling.
"Commander, all the trophies captured by the six armed workers' teams have been returned. Not only can the cannon platoon be worthy of its name, but all other weapon gaps have been filled!" the chief of staff hurried to Kong Jie with a list of seizures to report.
"The military engineering team in charge of fifth company commander Tang Bing also brought back a heavy machine gun. We now have two mortars and three heavy machine guns."
"More light machine guns!"
"Six armed engineering teams sent back a total of 9 crooked weapons, 4 made in the Czech Republic, and 7 grenade launchers!"
"Including the original light machine guns of the independent regiment, and subtracting those taken away by the six armed workers' teams, the whole regiment has a total of 25 light machine guns and 15 grenade launchers!"
"There were also a lot of rifles. The armed workers went out twice, and the guard squadron went out three times. More than 700 rifles of various kinds were seized. Some of them were left for the armed workers, and 468 were brought back, all of which were official.
"
"Not only can all the weapon gaps of the main force of the regiment be filled, but also all the old sleeves equipped by the troops can be replaced."
Kong Jie smiled so hard that he could hardly close his mouth.
Huang Yu's unintentional idea brought so many benefits to the independent group. This is too dreamy.
More than half a month ago, I was still worrying about a rifle and a bullet.
In the blink of an eye, the independent regiment not only seized endless rifles, but also formed a veritable machine gun platoon.
Immediately ordered to the chief of staff: "No matter what kind of weapon, it can only be effective if it is equipped with troops!"
"I have an idea, Chief of Staff, help me check it out!"
"The newly established machine gun platoon has two artillery squads and two heavy machine gun squads. An extra heavy machine gun will be handed over to the brigade headquarters!"
"Each infantry company sets up a light machine gun squad, equipped with two light machine guns. The guard company is equipped with one more for Huang Yu, and the remaining four are handed over to the brigade headquarters!"
"Each main battalion sets up a grenade platoon, with two grenade squads under its jurisdiction, equipped with four grenade launchers. Each guard squad is equipped with one grenade launcher, and the remaining two are handed over to the brigade headquarters."
"The first battalion, the guard company, and the reconnaissance company have all been changed into 38 large cover and crooked handles to facilitate ammunition supply."
"The official rifles of the second and third battalions are made in Hanyang. The light machine guns of the second battalion are given priority, and the light machine guns of the third battalion are given priority by the Czech Republic!"
"In the future, the 1st and 2nd Battalions of the Independent Regiment and the troops directly under the regiment will all be equipped with 65-caliber weapons, and the 3rd Battalion will be equipped with 79-caliber weapons. This will ensure that the weapons and ammunition captured by the troops from the Japanese and puppet troops can be used, and it will also facilitate the logistics department.
Supplies of ammunition!”
"The 38 big guns we have are not enough for the moment, so we can only let the Second Battalion mix two weapons!"
The chief of staff knows the equipment situation of the independent regiment best. When Kong Jie expressed his thoughts, he kept lying on the table and writing quickly, calculating how many long rifles each battalion needed and how many long rifles were left...
After Kong Jie finished speaking, it took a while before he stopped writing and reported: "According to your request just now, not counting muskets and single combat, the whole regiment has 56 38-guns left, 79 made in Hanyang, and 183 old sleeves.
, among which 59 old sleeves had their rifling smoothed out and could no longer be used. There were a total of 259 usable rifles..."
"One extra heavy machine gun, four crooked light machine guns, and two grenades!"
"Ammunition reserves are very high!"
"Each rifleman carries five rounds of ammunition, two grenades or grenades, the light machine gun comes with fifty rounds of ammunition as standard, and the grenade canister comes with five grenades as standard. In case of emergencies, the regiment headquarters will reinforce the troops participating in the war.
"
"The regiment headquarters' ammunition inventory contains 83,000 rounds of 65-caliber rifle bullets, 98,000 rounds of 65-caliber rifle bullets, 11,000 rounds of heavy machine gun bullets, five boxes of grenades, 26 boxes of wooden handle grenades, and six
Special grenade grenades, 148 mortar shells, more than 5,000 rifle rounds..."
"If all of them are taken down, the number of bullets per person in the independent regiment can reach 150, which is definitely the first in our brigade!"
After listening to the report, Kong Jie was surprised and did not show a smile. Instead, he frowned and analyzed: "There is a problem here!"
"The main force of the regiment is equipped with more 79-caliber rifles than the 38-caliber rifles, but the ammunition depot does not have as many 79-caliber bullets as the 65-caliber bullets!"
"In tough battles, the 2nd and 3rd Battalions will soon lose their combat effectiveness due to running out of ammunition!"
The chief of staff explained helplessly: "There is no way!"
"The Hanyang-made weapons equipped by the puppet troops are easier to capture than the Sanba Gai equipped by the Japanese, but they carry less ammunition."
"If we seize a Hanyang-made weapon, we can seize up to thirty matching bullets. If we encounter those Japanese soldiers who are not trusted by the Japanese army, we can seize twenty matching bullets."
"The Sanba Gai is a standard weapon equipped by the Japanese army, with an average of 120 rounds of ammunition per capita."
"When the two sides exchange fire, we usually kill the Japanese first and don't give them a chance to consume bullets. If you seize a 38-meter gun, you can get at least a hundred bullets!"
