The father of the sword is Kong Jie

Chapter 353 Divide the equipment
As for the opening up of the three regiments of the Iron Triangle, the transportation and troop transport channels between each other have already begun when Ding Wei proposed that the three regiments could jointly form a triangular defense system.

So far, from Kong Jie's Independent Regiment to Li Yunlong's New Second Regiment and Ding Wei's New First Regiment, the route of transportation and troop transport passages has been selected.

The transportation channel between Ding Wei's new first regiment and Li Yunlong's new second regiment has also been selected.

These channels are naturally two-way channels, which can ensure that each regiment can communicate with the other two regiments.

"Now the transportation channel between us has been selected. According to the original principle, one of the selected routes is sufficiently concealed, the other is convenient enough, and the other is that the distance of the selected route must be relatively short. , and avoid the rugged mountain roads."

Kong Jie said: "As for the means of transporting troops, our independent regiment still has a batch of bicycles, motorcycles, and a few trucks, and the other is a relatively primitive carriage."

Ding Weidao: "Motorcycles and trucks need to burn oil. The devils control the gasoline in major counties very strictly. In addition, the selected route cannot be flat all the way."

"I think we will have to rely on bicycles and horse-drawn carriages for our transportation in the future. It depends on the two of you, Lao Kong and Lao Li. You both have a cavalry company in your hands, which will come in handy."

Li Yunlong said happily: "Old Ding, why do I hear your words are somewhat sour? If you have the ability, you can also get a cavalry company."

Ding Wei, who was ridiculed by Li Yunlong, did not panic, and instead led the first army, he said: "Lao Li, don't wag your tail and talk big, even though you have just formed a new and second regiment, you still have some family background, but your family background , Didn’t you earn money by working as a deputy head under the old Kong’s hand?”

Li Yunlong: "..."

"Old Ding, you really don't know which pot to open and which pot to carry."

The three chatted and laughed for a while, and Kong Jie said: "Old Ding is right. As for us, the tools we rely on will mainly fall on bicycles and carriages in the future. This bicycle is not slow to ride, and it will be our must-choice in the future. Soldiers must at least master the skill of riding a bicycle.

In addition, the bicycle is convenient to transport. When encountering an uphill, just push it up, and ride it at any time when going downhill.

In addition, I asked the repair shop to step up the transformation and install more pallets on both sides of the bicycle, which can be used for transportation in the future.

The other is the carriage. When the cavalry company has no combat missions, it should undertake some transportation and troop transportation tasks. "

"It's still the same sentence, the three regiments of the Iron Triangle must ensure that the support and transportation between each other are completed within a relatively short period of time."

"As long as this can be achieved, and the location we selected for support is on the flanks of each other's defense zone, if any of our regiments is attacked, there will be two extra surprise soldiers waiting for the opportunity to fight, and we can definitely fight the little devils." One caught off guard."

Ding Wei said: "That's what it means, I agree."

"I have no objection either." Li Yunlong said.

So the joint defense of the Audio-Technica was settled.

……

After Li Yunlong and Ding Wei left, Kong Jie called Jiang Dao.

What's the matter?

Naturally, I asked about the 57th regiment of the Jinsui Army.

"Jiang Dao, you met Qian Shoucai again yesterday, how is the specific situation?"

Jiang Dao smiled and said, "Head, I'm about to report this to you! If you want to say that the 57th regiment of the Jinsui Army is really in your favor."

"Oh, how do you say that?" Kong Jie asked.

Jiang Dao said: "Some time ago, didn't everyone rob supplies and cash in the devil-occupied area! The 57th Regiment of the Jinsui Army naturally wanted to join in the fun, but they just robbed it once. Not to mention that they didn't succeed, and they were almost caught by the county. The Japanese and puppet troops in the village blocked the county town."

"The head of the 57th Regiment, Yang Chongshan, thought about it. Instead of taking the risk of going to the county town to rob, it would be more comfortable to do business with our independent regiment in the rear."

"So, Yang Zhongshan ordered that the 57th Regiment is not allowed to participate in the looting of the devil-occupied area, and seize the time to do business with the various units of the Jinsui Army, buy weapons from the various units of the Jinsui Army at a low price, and resell them to our independent regiment at that time .”

"In this way, after the Japanese army suddenly launched a major counterattack, many Jinsui Army, Central Army, and National Army who were still obsessed with looting suffered.

On the side of the Jinsui Army, only two regiments were intact.

One is Chu Yunfei's 57 regiment, and the other is the [-] regiment.

Because of this incident, Yang Chongshan was praised by the chief of the Jinsui Army! "

Kong Jiele said: "Interesting, this guy surnamed Yang has hit the ground running."

"As for the follow-up business, what about Qian Shoucai?"

Jiang Dao said: "Head, it's done. Then Qian Shoucai said that their head bought a large amount of equipment from other Jinsui Army units, and they are waiting to sell them to us!
Qian Shoucai has not shown me the specific quantity list, but Qian Shoucai told me that there are three heavy machine guns alone.

This time, Yang Chongshan seemed to be planning to make a big deal. "

Kong Jie nodded, not particularly shocked.

Now the head of the independent regiment knows how much wealth he has.

It is no exaggeration to say that although the brigade commander and the others have a certain estimate of the current equipment situation of the independent regiment.

But in fact, the brigade commander's estimate is far from the actual number of equipment of the independent regiment.

If Kong Jie reported the actual equipment data.

Even if the phone call from the brigade headquarters did not reach Niukou Village, the brigade commander would probably be able to bring people to Niukou Village on the same day and say to Kong Jie, "Kong Jie, I congratulate you on making a fortune."

Not to mention much, the configuration of the independent regiment's heavy machine guns is basically one for each company.

And the independent regiment has five battalions. If you do the math, how many companies will there be?
That's why Kong Jie spent so much on the equipment he sent to the brigade last time.

Have this confidence!

Under the condition of ensuring the independent regiment's own equipment, Kong Jie is naturally willing to send more equipment to the brigade commander, and distribute them to other combat regiments that are in short supply.

... Jiang Dao felt a little emotional: "Commander, speaking of it, it's not that I haven't done business. When I was in the Jinsui Army, I helped a lot with businesses, large and small, but such a large business in front of me, It’s my first time doing it.”

"Yang Chongshan is really bold. Such a large amount of equipment is sold as soon as it is sold."

Kong Jie laughed mockingly, and said: "This is the essence of corruption. If some troops think of the law to do business and support the Anti-Japanese War, then some troops think of the law to make war money. As for the anti-Japanese It doesn’t matter if you don’t resist the Japanese.”

"You used to be a soldier of the Jinsui Army, so you should know something about it."

Jiang Dao said helplessly: "Isn't it? When the war was tense back then, there were some officers and devils in our Jinsui army doing business! It's not a serious business, and some guns and ammunition in our team were secretly Send it to the enemy-occupied area, exchange the smoke with the devils, and then transport the smoke back, and then sell it to other warlords to make huge profits."

"One time, our regiment was fighting on the front line, and the logistics supply was not available. The regiment leader asked about the situation. It turned out that there were not enough vehicles for logistics transportation."

"Our regiment leader scolded, where are all the transportation vehicles that guarantee the logistics going?"

"I found out later that it was an order from above that the transport trucks and carriages of the logistics department took the goods to the enemy-occupied area to discuss business with the devils."

"Because of this, our regiment's logistics supply was not enough, and we lost the battle directly. As a result, the higher-ups ignored the matter of the logistics vehicles being occupied. They only blamed our regiment leader and gave him the order."

"From then on, I knew how broken the team I was in, and I just went with it day by day."

Having said that, Jiang Dao said helplessly:
"That's it, on the side of the Jinsui Army, because Yan Laoxi watched, the situation is a little bit better, at least they don't dare to mess around on the surface. In some places, the national army is in chaos."

"When there was a war, even the guns and ammunition disappeared. Where did they go? They ran to the hands of the devils on the other side, and then turned around and hit them on the head."

Kong Jie sneered and said, "The national army is fighting against the Japanese openly, but based on the situation of the enemy's support, what's so rare?"

"As long as it is profitable, no matter what materials the devils need, or materials for military production, regardless of whether it is wood or Wusha, as long as we have what we have in the rear of China, believe it or not, those blinded by interests are completely Idiots who don't care about the fate of the nation can always find ways to send it to other little devils."

"It's more dedicated than doing things for myself!"

"So compared with those idiots. Yang Chongshan, the commander of the 57th Regiment of the Jinsui Army, I respect him as a man. At least he is funding our Eighth Route Army. Our Eighth Route Army got these equipment, which is used to deal with little devils. .”

Jiang Dao smiled and said: "Head, what you said is too true. Thinking about it this way, I also think that my fellow villager Qian Shoucai is a good person."

"A good person must be a good person. You tell Qian Shoucai that as long as he helps our independent group get things done, the benefits will be inseparable from him," Kong Jie said.

"Yes!"

"In addition, regarding the business with the 57th regiment, you have the courage to decide. There is only one principle. As long as the problem can be solved with money, it is not a problem. If there is no other independent group, we still have money.

Find a way for me to get more guns, ammunition, and various equipment from the 57th Regiment. Of course, we also have quality requirements, so don't let them fool us with junk. "

"Yes, please rest assured, the leader, and ensure that the task is completed!"

Just like that, three days later, Jiang Dao and Qian Shoucai from the 57th regiment reached an agreement.

After Jiang Dao returned to the regiment headquarters, he reported the situation to Kong Jie.

Kong Jie immediately ordered the monk to take the guard company to receive the equipment and weapons at the location given by the 57th regiment, and send the money to the 57th regiment.

And this time, how much equipment did the 57th regiment send over?
Perhaps the same can be seen from the amount of legal currency that Kong Jie spent.

In this transaction, Kong Jie spent a total of about 17 French currency.

Except for large-caliber mountain cannons and mortars, he would not dare to smuggle Yang Chongshan to death.

The rest of the equipment, whether it is light and heavy machine guns, or rifles, or grenades and ammunition grenades, is readily available.

In addition, it was obvious that Yang Zhongshan wanted to stabilize the big sponsor of the independent regiment, so the equipment prepared this time was basically more than [-]% new weapons.

Kong Jie's response made Yang Zhongshan quite satisfied.

There was no bargaining at all, and the amount of the transaction was prepared without saying a word, and even a little more was given.

In the original words that Kong Jie asked Jiang Dao to help bring over:
"It looks like the Chinese New Year is coming soon, so let's treat it as a New Year's gift for Commander Yang."

Yang Chongshan was naturally emotional, but he was also a little skeptical. Didn't the Eighth Route Army always save money?I heard that the government has cut off the supply of the Eighth Route Army. Where did the independent regiment get so much money?

If he couldn't figure it out, Yang Chongshan didn't bother to think about it, anyway, he just got the money.

As for the lost equipment, excuses are too easy to find, just say that it was lost in the battle with the Japanese army.

As long as there are a lot of cannons, Yang Chongshan is not afraid at all if the higher ups come to check.

More importantly, Yang Chongshan also sent a big gift to the big man in the minister's department who took care of Yang Zhongshan.

This is more secure.

Anyway, such things, whether in the Jinsui Army, the National Army, or even the Central Army, are commonplace.

At that time, there was a general of the Communist Party who was an undercover agent in the national army. Later, he was suspected and found out.

As a result of an investigation, what is the reason?
The reason is that the communist general who is lurking among the generals of the national army is neither corrupt nor accepts bribes. What is it if it is not the Communist Party?
Well, for this reason, it was directly exposed.

Speaking of it, I don't know whether to laugh or feel sad for the corruption in the national military system.

……

When the monk took the guard company and brought the equipment and weapons bought back with 17 French currency back to the regiment headquarters, the battalion commanders and instructors all came.

What are you here for?
Here comes the division of weapons.

The head of the regiment agreed. Once the equipment is returned, the five battalions will be distributed according to needs.

When this happened, how could the five battalion commanders not be active? They came too late, and the other battalions might have snatched all the good things.

"Regimental Commander, the number of heavy machine guns in our fourth battalion is not enough. One company has only one heavy machine gun. How can this be enough? This time our battalion can score a heavy machine gun no matter what."

Lei Dasheng, the commander of the Fourth Battalion, spoke first, looking as if he was determined to win.

The Fifth Battalion Commander, Du Aiguo, used to be the commander of the Third Regiment of the North China Security Army. Speaking of his experience in the Eighth Route Army, he was naturally the least experienced. Since he joined the Independent Regiment, he has never competed with other battalion commanders.

It's just that during this period of time, everyone has become familiar with each other, so they don't pay attention to each other.

Du Aiguo said: "Old Lei, it's outrageous for you to say that, your Fourth Battalion, at least each company has a heavy machine gun.

In terms of the standard configuration of the heavy machine gun alone, it is no worse than the little devil.

On the little devil's side, it is usually a squadron size, and only one or two heavy machine guns are equipped.

Our fifth battalion has two companies, but we don't even have a heavy machine gun!

I heard that the equipment I bought this time is only three heavy machine guns, and I don’t want many, just one. You don’t have any objections to that, do you? "

Lei Dasheng said happily: "Okay, I still want to give you the face of your old Du. In this way, the heavy machine gun of our fourth battalion will belong to you. When the time comes, I will get five of the grenadiers assigned by your battalion. Is this all right?"

Du Aiguo choked.

Shen Quan, the commander of the second battalion, couldn't stand it anymore, and scolded: "I said, Lao Lei, how dare you say that, the regiment commander hasn't said how to divide the heavy machine guns yet? Your one has already been used for business. ?

Aren't you an empty-handed white wolf, fooling old Du? "

Lei Dasheng was taken aback for a moment, then laughed out loud.

The battalion commanders also laughed, and soon there was laughter in the yard.

Li Wenjie, the instructor of the [-]th Battalion, said with a smile: "If you want to say that the development of weapons and equipment in our independent regiment these days is really rapid, just the jokes that the battalion commanders just said.

If this gets out, the other teams will be scolded.

Good guy, battalion commanders of our independent regiment, one heavy machine gun for each company below is not enough, but go to other regiments to inquire about it. There are many regiments, and the whole regiment only has a few heavy machine guns!
Even for the two main regiments of the [-]st Regiment and the [-]nd Regiment of our [-]th Brigade, if each battalion can have three heavy machine guns, it will break the sky. "

Kong Jie deeply agreed with this, stared at the battalion commanders and cursed:

"Wen Jie is right, I think you are living a good life, and you have forgotten the poor life back then.

Let me tell you, now we are well equipped and ammunition is abundant, but we need to save money. I told you that, in the future, once the Japanese army launches a counterattack, we want to get equipment and weapons on a large scale. It's not that easy.

Who knows how long the 57 regiments in front of us can cooperate with us? "

First Battalion Commander Wang Leihu smiled wryly and said: "Regimental Commander, aren't we afraid of being poor? We always want to equip the troops with more weapons and prepare more ammunition."

"that is!"

"Yes!"

The battalion commanders nodded one after another, this is the sequelae of lack of firepower.

Kong Jie said: "I understand everyone's thoughts, but I hope you will keep in mind one truth, never put the cart before the horse, the will to fight is the main priority, and the equipment of weapons is the second."

"Are the weapons of the Jinsui Army poor? Are the weapons and equipment of the Central Army poor? Wasn't he still defeated by the little devils?"

"What matters is not what weapons are used, but who is using them."

"Our independent regiment can engage in equipment and development, but the core must be on the military training and ideological education of the soldiers. This point, you battalion commanders and instructors, don't forget me at any time. "

"Yes!"

The battalion commander and the instructors responded in unison, and they were also taken aback, and almost lost their composure.

Then the weapons arrived, three heavy machine guns, nearly thirty light machine guns, and twenty grenade launchers, all lined up, the whole yard was boiling...
