"Genzi, these are all the weapons and equipment you made? Isn't that amazing!" Zhao Gang looked at the weapons and equipment in front of him with excitement on his face.
Zhao Gang is not that easy to get excited, but now looking at the weapons and equipment Liu Gen made, he can't control his emotions. Zhao Gang knows that Liu Gen is very capable, and he also knows that Liu Gen has great expertise in making weapons and equipment.
Although he has great talent, he didn't expect Liu Gen to be able to produce so many weapons and equipment in such a short period of time.
Especially many of the weapons and equipment that Zhao Gang had never seen before, which made him even more shocked.
Li Yunlong picked up a gun, with a gleam in his eyes. This weapon was something he had never seen before, not even in the hands of the Japanese. Li Yunlong was a little confused. He could tell that the gun was not a submachine gun or a light machine gun, but a rifle.
Why is it like this?
"Genzi, what kind of gun is this?" Li Yunlong was eager to know the answer. He was sure that this gun would play a big role in the next battle with the Japanese.
Liu Gen laughed. He could see Li Yunlong's eagerness, "AK47 is a fully automatic assault rifle with an effective range of three hundred meters. It is suitable for close-range assault operations. Although it may look a bit rough, it is extremely solid and can adapt to various combat environments.
.”
"In addition, the AK47 has a simple structure and low cost. It can fire single rounds in succession and is equipped with a thirty-round magazine."
"..."
Under Liu Gen's introduction, Li Yunlong became more and more interested. Especially after he started to test-fire, he realized the power of this assault rifle. With this assault rifle named ak47, the independent group's firepower
It will definitely reach the next level.
However, during the test firing process, Li Yunlong also discovered the shortcomings of this gun, that is, the muzzle of the gun floated sharply when firing continuously. It will take some time to truly master this gun.
"Genji, this assault rifle is indeed good, but why do you call it AK47?" Li Yunlong was a little confused. The name was really too weird, and it didn't look like a domestic gun.
In China, guns are rarely given English names, such as Chinese official rifles.
"Commander, it's like this. I accidentally saw some information about firearms from abroad, and I was able to create this kind of assault rifle. That's why it's called ak47."
"Captain, the name is not important, as long as the gun is easy to use, what do you think?" Liu Gen explained helplessly, what else could he say?
Zhao Gang on the side nodded in agreement. As long as the gun is easy to use, the name is not important. Zhao Gang picked up an assault rifle with a glint in his eyes. This will become a big killer for the independent group.
I believe that when the Japanese raids come, these assault rifles will definitely give the Japanese a big 'surprise'. Just thinking that the number of these assault rifles is not that large, Zhao Gang has a headache. He wants to distribute these assault rifles well.
It will be very troublesome.
Zhao Gang could imagine the reaction of the battalions and companies of the independent regiment when they learned about these assault rifles. I believe they would all pester Li Yunlong and want to get these weapons to their own battalions and companies, right?
"Old Li, you have to distribute these weapons and equipment well and not let the soldiers have too many opinions." Zhao Gang said. At this time, Zhao Gang was a little lucky. Fortunately, these things were not under his control, otherwise it would definitely be quite serious.
headache.
Li Yunlong nodded, with a little helplessness in his eyes. Thinking about the distribution of weapons and equipment, even he had a headache. Needless to say, Li Yunlong also knew that battalion commanders like Zhang Dabiao would not give up these weapons and equipment easily.
However, these weapons and equipment were not many. Li Yunlong could see that they should only be equipped for one company. In Li Yunlong's view, distributing these weapons and equipment to various battalions and companies was not a good choice.
Only by concentrating these weapons and equipment can the power of these weapons and equipment be fully exerted, and they can also play a more critical role in the battle.
"Genzi, what do you think should be done with these weapons and equipment?" Li Yunlong wanted to ask Liu Gen what he thought. Maybe from Liu Gen, he could get a suitable distribution method?
Li Yunlong is still very confident in Liu Gen. Even if he can't get a good solution from Liu Gen, it will definitely be better than what he can think of here.
"It's actually very simple. It's better to use this batch of weapons and equipment to form a combat team belonging to an independent regiment. If we gather the elite of the entire independent regiment, we will be able to fully unleash the power of these weapons and equipment." Liu Gen said with a smile.
In Liu Gen's opinion, it is very simple for the Independent Regiment to establish a combat team. After all, there are many talents in the Independent Regiment, and with the leadership of the leader Li Yunlong, the difficulty is naturally not that great.
"I don't have enough time. I can't leave these weapons and equipment to eat dirt. I will definitely use these weapons and equipment when facing the enemy's encirclement and suppression." Li Yunlong shook his head and refused.
Li Yunlong also understood that it was good to form a continuous combat team and to give full play to the power of these weapons and equipment, but there was not much time left for the independent group.
Even if Liu Gen can stay in the Independent Regiment, it will be difficult to establish a combat team with strong enough combat effectiveness in a short period of time. The enemy's encirclement and suppression of the Japanese base area may come at any time, and the Independent Regiment simply does not have that much time.
"Then there is actually a solution." Liu Gen thought for a moment and said again.
Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang's eyes lit up, and they looked at Liu Gen with some expectation, hoping that the plan Liu Gen said would be useful. Now, Li Yunlong and the others couldn't think of any other way, and it seemed that they could only wait and see what Liu Gen had to say.
"Since you, commander, want to gather these weapons and equipment together, then giving these weapons and equipment to the cavalry company will have a good effect." Liu Gen expressed his thoughts. Putting the assault rifle in the hands of the cavalry company should make people more comfortable.
The combat effectiveness of the cavalry company became stronger.
Not to mention anything else, just in terms of firepower, the cavalry company will be greatly improved.
You know, the weapon used by the cavalry company now is the Japanese 38-gai. It seems to be very powerful, but it is difficult for the cavalry company to have enough lethality.
No matter how good the 38 cap is, it is just a rifle. In terms of firepower, it cannot be compared with the ak47 that can shoot continuously. In addition, the ak47's magazine is also a great advantage, and it can save more time when reloading.
"Equip these weapons to the cavalry company?" Li Yunlong thought seriously. He had tried the power of these guns and equipping them to the cavalry company would indeed make the cavalry company have stronger combat effectiveness.
But thinking that the effective range of the AK47 was only three hundred meters, Li Yunlong was a little dissatisfied. Compared with the 38-meter cover, it was still a little behind. In addition, the Japs' marksmanship was not weak, and well-trained Japs could
Use the 38 big cover to effectively kill at a position of 400 to 500 meters.
If the cavalry company is equipped with AK47, the range of the cavalry company will be reduced a lot. Once it encounters the Japanese cavalry, it will definitely be quite troublesome.
"Captain, are you worried about the range of the AK47?" Liu Gen asked with a smile.
Li Yunlong nodded, "The firepower of these assault rifles you created is not weak at all, but in terms of effective range, they are somewhat incomparable to the 38 Gai."
"Of course, it's nothing if placed in positional warfare, but is it really suitable to be placed in a cavalry company?"
Zhao Gang thought subconsciously, but he didn't consider this. He raised his head and looked at Liu Gen. He could see that Liu Gen looked relaxed and didn't seem to be worried at all.
"Captain, this is not a problem at all. The effective range does not mean the maximum range. According to my tests, the assault rifle is still lethal enough at a distance of one thousand meters, but it will be more accurate at a closer distance."
"Equip assault rifles to cavalry companies, and the cavalry companies can fire at the same range as before, or even extend the range further."
"Captain, to put it bluntly, the cavalry company of our independent regiment is just a small force and cannot be compared with the Japanese cavalry. With the strength of our cavalry company, if we want to compete with the Japanese large-scale cavalry,
It’s simply impossible.”
"Facing the Japanese cavalry, we only need to keep a distance and fight through superior firepower. There is no need to engage in a close confrontation with the Japanese cavalry. That is completely using our shortcomings to meet the opponent's strengths."
"..."
Li Yunlong fell silent. He knew that Liu Gen was right. The cavalry company of the independent regiment was good, but it was still far behind when compared with the Japanese cavalry.
What's more, the Japs' cavalry is calculated according to the regiment. It can be said that the cavalry company has no advantage in fighting the Japs' cavalry.
"Genzi, be careful on the road."
"Leader, political commissar, you should also take care and wait until we meet again to have a drink together."
"..."
In the back mountain of Yangcun, Liu Gen started the transfer work with his comrades from the back mountain arsenal. Tian Yu followed him with the package on his back. Everyone left quickly while it was getting light.
"Monk, go and order Zhang Dabiao to protect the safety of Genzi and the others, and escort them all the way out of the defense area of our independent regiment." Li Yunlong ordered.
The monk nodded and hurriedly ran towards Zhang Dabiao who was preparing to set off. He knew that this was because Li Yunlong was too worried about Liu Gen and others.
Even if there is no further order, Zhang Dabiao will definitely escort Liu Gen and the others with all his strength, let alone now that there is another order from Li Yunlong.
"Oh, I really can't bear to leave this kid." Li Yunlong said helplessly as he watched the team gradually retreating.
Li Yunlong really wants to keep Liu Gen, so that the independent group will inevitably become stronger at a faster speed, but there is no way, Liu Gen is too good, and the temple of the independent group is too small, it is impossible to keep Liu Gen
.
Zhao Gang nodded silently. He also felt reluctant to let go of Liu Gen. However, it was a soldier's bounden duty to obey orders. Even if he was reluctant to let go, Gen Gen would not be able to stay.
"There is no banquet in life that lasts forever. Maybe I will leave in the future." Zhao Gang said calmly.
Li Yunlong was a little silent. It was good that Liu Gen left the Independent Group. After all, Liu Gen left the Independent Group very early. Even though Li Yunlong still regarded Genzi as a member of the Independent Group, he also knew that Genzi could not stay in the Independent Group forever.
But thinking that Zhao Gang would probably leave in the future, Li Yunlong felt a little uncomfortable. He, Li Yunlong, had never liked political commissars, but after Zhao Gang came to the Independent Group, he changed.
"I don't care about others, but you, Political Commissar Zhao, cannot leave the Independent Regiment. Without you, Political Commissar Zhao, I, Li Yunlong, would be in so much trouble!" Li Yunlong said extremely seriously.
Zhao Gang was stunned for a moment, and a smile appeared on his face. He didn't expect that Zhao Gang was so important in Li Yunlong's heart. Zhao Gang nodded heavily, and if possible, he wanted to stay forever.
"Let's go, Lao Zhao, let's go back. It's not that easy on the front line." Li Yunlong said in a deep voice.
…
On August 15, Liu Gen and others successfully moved to the rear area, which is covered with mountains and forests and is located on the edge of the 129th Division's anti-Japanese base area, with Shaanxi, Gansu and Ningxia behind.
[By the way, the best app for reading and listening to books is Yeguo Reading, www. Install the latest version. 】
The headquarters of the 129th Division is located in this area. It was chosen to move to this place to avoid too much losses during the Japanese raids. However, some comrades of the 129th Division headquarters were still in the anti-Japanese base area and did not evacuate.
The transfer of division headquarters is not that simple, and there is a lot of important data involved. The processing and transfer of these data will take a long time.
However, the Japanese have not yet started their raids on the anti-Japanese base areas, so those comrades who have not moved need not be too anxious. If the Japanese just make a false move this time, then there is no need to move.
No one knew what the Japanese were thinking before they took action, but for the stable development of the anti-Japanese base areas, counter-encirclement and suppression campaigns were still necessary.
After meeting the division commander, Liu Gen re-established the bullet production line. Considering that the rear area was relatively safer, he also deliberately expanded the scale of the bullet production line, reaching a daily output of fifty rounds of bullets.
During the rest of the time, Liu Gen manufactured some weapons and equipment that could be produced. With the help of the system, Liu Gen found a lot of mineral resources and solved the problem of shortage of raw materials.
In September 1943, the Japanese launched a sweep of the 129th Division's anti-Japanese base areas. Under the command of the commander of the Japanese North China Front Army Okamura Neiji, the Japanese adopted the tactics of long-distance raids and divided attacks to launch a frenzied sweep of the anti-Japanese base areas.
In order to cover the retreat of various agencies in the base area, the Independent Regiment, the 772nd Regiment and other troops fought at the forefront of the anti-encirclement and suppression campaign, engaging in life-and-death fights with the Japanese.
In mid-November, the Japanese and puppet troops withdrew from the anti-Japanese base areas in batches and achieved victory in the counter-encirclement and suppression campaign.
In late December, Li Yunlong sent a telegram informing Liu Gen that he was getting married. Liu Gen rushed to Zhaojiayu to attend Li Yunlong's wedding. On the night of the wedding, Kazuki Yamamoto led a Japanese special agent team to launch a surprise attack. Soldiers from the independent regiment's guard company used powerful firepower from assault rifles.
Successfully repelled the incoming special forces.
In January 1944, Li Yunlong united with the New 1st Regiment, the New 2nd Regiment, and the county brigades and district teams in the independent regiment's defense area to launch an offensive against Ping'an County. The entire northwestern Shanxi Province was in chaos due to Li Yunlong's actions.
Liu Gen, who was developing an arsenal nearby, brought several 220mm heavy artillery and helped Li Yunlong successfully open the gate of Ping'an County! The independent regiment successfully captured Ping'an County!
After that, Liu Gen traveled back and forth between the arsenal and school for a long time, working on three points and one line, dedicated to cultivating more talents and researching various new weapons.
