The father of the sword is Kong Jie

Chapter 355

……

four days.

Kong Jie got up early in the morning, and snowflakes had already fallen outside at some point.

It is said that auspicious snow heralds a good year, but these years, there are wars everywhere, and there is no talk of a good year or not. When it snows, no matter the poor people or the persistent soldiers, they only feel the cold that pierces their bones.

The conditions of the independent regiment were much better. Kong Jie had personally checked and compared the heating situation of the regiment headquarters and the bunk where the soldiers slept.

There is no difference, it is a problem of more people and less people.

There are so many soldiers that they are crowded in a common bunk, which is actually warmer.

The residual heat of the kang heated by the cooking team dispelled the cold in the first half of the night, and the cold in the second half of the night was dissipated by the coal stove.

The repair shop made a modification to the coal stove. A small chimney was extended outside the joint of the coal stove, and then a chimney hole was made from the earthen house to extend outside the house, which can ensure indoor heating while not affected by gas.

Kong Jie, who got up early in the morning, woke up the monk and practiced with the monk for a while in the snowflakes flying all over the sky.

It's winter, it's better to move around. After practicing for a while, Kong Jie's whole body is hot, and Kong Jie, whose hands and feet are warm, doesn't feel cold anymore.

Practicing with the monk, the effect was good, and Kong Jie felt that his martial arts had improved again.

As usual, the monk had a gloomy expression on his face, no one wanted to be beaten without fighting back, "Head, when will I be able to fight back?"

"Wait until I overthrow Li Datou." Kong Jie said seriously.

Seeing the monk dumbfounded, Kong Jie scolded with a smile: "Monk, what kind of eyes are you looking at? Tell you, Li Yunlong has practiced martial arts since he was a child, and I, Kong Jie, have also practiced martial arts since I was a child.

He, Li Yunlong, practiced Baguazhang, and I practiced Tongbiquan.

When we first met, Li Yunlong and I had a lot of discussions and fights, and our level was about the same.

Right now that kid is shivering in the kang all day, I have you, a monk from Shaolin Temple, practicing every day, just watch, in a few days, I will definitely be able to overthrow Li Datou. "

The monk smiled and nodded quickly: "Hey!"

In his heart, he was thinking, if the head of the group beats the head of Li, he will be able to fight back now!
Kong Jie: "Don't think too much, you kid. If you beat Li Datou, we will temporarily stop our discussion."

Monk: "..."

"Okay, don't make a sour face, get ready, let's go to the logistics department of the headquarters in the morning." Kong Jie said.

"Hey!"

The monk responded and went to lead the horse.

Kong Jie rode his own horse, Dabai, and the monk rode another carefully selected horse, driving side by side, stepping on the lightly accumulated white snow on the ground along the way, printing a series of horseshoe prints, Head towards the direction of the headquarters arsenal.

The Logistics Department of the Eighth Route Army Headquarters.

Before Kong Jie and the monk's horses arrived, the sentinels noticed the situation from a distance, and the news immediately reached the ears of Zhang Wanhe, the head of the logistics department.

"Minister, Captain Kong is here."

Zhang Wanhe, who was living a nourishing life in the logistics department, roasting a pot of charcoal fire, got up from the bench in a hurry when he heard the news, looked around for places where he could escape, and said, "Just say I'm not here, remember?" Alright, don't miss out!"

"Minister, what reason should I make up?"

"Just say that I went to the headquarters to report the situation to the boss."

Having said that, Zhang Wanhe found a place and simply hid in the factory building of the logistics department.

As soon as he heard that Kong Jie was coming, Zhang Wanhe looked like a mouse meeting a cat.

There's no way, it's a headache, the big creditor is coming, who dare not hide?
In the past six months, the logistics department has received too many benefits from the independent group.

From the beginning of the raid, the independent regiment sent a large amount of resources such as cloth, steel, iron, and wires.

After the Independence Regiment took over the North China Security Army's light arsenal, it sent a large amount of ordnance production equipment to the Shuiyaozi arsenal of the logistics department.

Not long ago, another [-] copper coins were sent, all of which are good materials for producing bullets.

But the logistics department took the independent group and took so many benefits from Kong Jie. As the head of the logistics department, Zhang Wanhe must show something, right?

During this period of time, Zhang Wanhe, as the head of the logistics department, straightened his waist. Isn't it all due to Kong Jie's glory!
But all the cadres who have a relationship with Li Yunlong have something in common.

Zhang Wanhe, as the head of the logistics department, is known as an iron rooster. Without orders from above, he has always been nothing.

Right now, Lao Zhang wants to recruit, hide if he can!

If Lao Kong came, the lion opened his mouth wide, how can I be the head of the logistics department?
In addition, Zhang Wanhe has heard that not long ago, the three regiments of his Iron Triangle won a big victory and seized a lot of equipment, ammunition and supplies. Seeing the soup from the logistics department?
Just as he was thinking, Kong Jie's loud voice came over.

"Old Zhang, Old Zhang—"

Hearing the sound getting closer, Zhang Wanhe, who was hiding in the workshop, was about to break out in a cold sweat. He couldn't help muttering in his heart, how could this old Kong, as if he knew I was here, come straight to the workshop? ?

"Captain Kong, why are you here?"

"I'm here to look for Lao Zhang, where is your Minister Zhang?"

"Oh, our minister just isn't in the logistics department these days, and went to the headquarters to report the situation to the boss."

Xiao Liu from the logistics department explained.

Zhang Wanhe, who was hiding in the factory building, breathed a sigh of relief, thinking in his heart that he was lucky, fortunately, he found Xiao Liu to block him in advance, now you, old Kong, have no tricks, right?
Hahaha--

Zhang Wanhe was laughing silently, and then he heard Kong Jie in the yard outside asking abruptly:
"Zhang Wan and that kid told you that, right?"

"Um...ah, no, no, it was our minister who asked me to say that, no, it was our minister who told me to tell Captain Kong that he was not here, no, no, no, it was our minister who was here... not there logistics department!"

Zhang Wanhe: "..."

Kong Jie: "..."

Monk: "..."

"Oh——so that old Zhang isn't here!"

Xiao Liu's incoherent speech immediately exposed the truth.

Kong Jie pretended not to know, and deliberately pulled out his voice.

Zhang Wanhe, who was hiding in the factory building, was finished in secret, but it turned around, and he immediately felt lucky again.

"Fortunately, fortunately!"

Kong Jie: "Since your Minister Zhang is not here, it will be easier to say. I have made an agreement with your Minister Zhang in black and white. I have brought all the IOUs. When I come here this time, I am going to put on a thousand sets of military uniforms first." , In addition, bring me a hundred boxes of grenades, [-] rounds of bullets, and the shell gun that I mentioned to Lao Zhang last time, bring me two hundred pieces, and..."

Xiao Liu: "..."

"Haha, old Kong, why are you here? What a rare visitor!"

Zhang Wanhe's loud laughter from the factory interrupted what Kong Jie was about to say.

Seeing Zhang Wanhe striding out of the factory, Kong Jiele said, "Hey, this is not our Minister Zhang, is it? Xiao Liu, didn't you say that Lao Zhang went to the headquarters to report the situation to the boss? What's going on now? Son?"

Xiao Liu: "..."

Zhang Wanhe said with a smile: "Old Kong, don't embarrass Xiao Liu. I asked him to help say the words. Every time you come to my logistics department, our logistics department must lose a lot of supplies. I can't help it." Avoid you? It’s just that if you don’t come out now, I’m afraid you will empty out my logistics department.”

Kong Jie cursed: "Old Zhang, you are being too unkind. The wool comes from the sheep. I sent you all the sheep, so I'll gather some wool. Isn't that too much?"

Amidst the loud laughter, Zhang Wanhe invited Kong Jie into the house, and the two continued to discuss around the brazier.

After entering the house, Kong Jie didn't delay too much, and said straight to the point: "Old Zhang, I won't play tricks with you anymore. What I told Xiao Liu just now is not a joke. This time I'm coming, but the equipment will be taken away." of."

"One thousand sets of military uniforms, one hundred boxes of grenades, fifty thousand rounds of ammunition, plus two hundred pieces of shell guns?"

"Yes, nothing less." Kong Jie nodded.

Zhang Wanhe was dumbfounded, and then took out a pair of generosity that the wind is rustling, the water is cold, and the strong man is gone forever, pointing to himself and saying: "Old Kong, look at my old Zhang, how many catties and taels do you have? Take it and sell it, I will put it here, if you want equipment, you will die.

The lion opened his mouth wide, and he didn't take you to be so exaggerated, did he? "

Kong Jie began to settle the accounts with his fingers: "A dozen sets of various machine tools and equipment, technicians plus skilled workers, factory director Yuan, the production technology of fertilizer powder and explosives, and a large number of steel products sent to you by our independent group successively, before and after 10,000+ A copper coin..."

Kong Jie said one by one, implying that you Lao Zhang owes me too much.

Zhang Wanhe was scared, and hurriedly begged for mercy: "Okay, old Kong, don't talk about it, I'm afraid of you, you are like Li Yunlong, you are a soft-headed master, if I don't promise you today , You are afraid that you will not leave if you rely on me, but it is impossible to provide all the weapons you mentioned.

In this way, I will take a step back, I will give you a hundred sets of military uniforms, ten boxes of grenades, five thousand rounds of bullets produced by copper coins, and twenty shell guns. What do you think? "

"It's not good." Kong Jie scolded with a dark face, "No wonder people say that Zhang Wanhe, the head of the logistics department, is an iron rooster who doesn't pull out a penny. Today I see it.

You are not taking a step back, you are clearly taking ten steps back.

The equipment I want, good guy, you will shrink it to one-tenth for me right away? "

Zhang Wanhe naturally understands that the creditor is the uncle.

More importantly, the person in front of him is not only a creditor, but also a funder.

If Zhang Wanhe can become the head of the logistics department of the headquarters, his vision is not covered, and he can't just go fishing. If he doesn't take care of Uncle Kong right now, in the future, if the independent group gets supplies again, can Zhang Wanhe still be his turn? ?
Leaving aside, in the past six months, how much material has the Independence Regiment seized from the devils and puppet soldiers?

The contribution of Kong Jie's independent group to the logistics department was the first.

"Haha, just kidding, just kidding, Lao Kong, we are fellow villagers from the Dabie Mountains, and we are old comrades who have known each other for so many years. Isn't these things easy to discuss?"

"Besides, other people don't know about your independent group, so why can't I know about it? Some time ago, your independent group made a fortune, and now the group is probably rich! It's not enough These three melons and two dates from my logistics department?"

Kong Jie said: "Old Zhang, you don't feel pain in your back when you stand and talk. My independent regiment now has more than 500 fighters, that's more than 500 mouths, more than 500 bodies, food and clothing, Which one does not need logistics supply?

Most of these materials and equipment on the front line can only be obtained by seizure.

As the head of the regiment, if I don't plan my life carefully and don't use the little devils to do it, the whole regiment will starve to death. "

Ha ha ha ha--

Zhang Wanhe laughed, "Okay, old Kong, since you've covered this point, don't open your mouth like a lion, and just quote me the actual price."

"Five hundred sets of cotton clothes. It's getting colder and colder now. Last time I sent you a lot of fabrics for the logistics department, as well as cotton bought in large quantities from enemy-occupied counties. It's enough for your logistics department." The Ministry has produced one or two thousand sets of military uniforms, and I want five hundred sets, isn't that too much?"

"No problem." Zhang Wanhe said.

"One hundred boxes of grenades, Lao Zhang, don't be stingy, our arsenal has the production technology of fertilizer powder and explosives.

This fat field powder is also easy to buy. Now the scale of our Shuiyaozi arsenal has also expanded a lot. Your grenade has been produced, but it will only get moldy if placed in the logistics department. Why don't you hand it over to our frontline combat troops? War, can send back more supplies and equipment to you. "

Zhang Wanhe gritted his teeth: "Okay!"

"In addition, you prepare [-] rounds of red-headed bullets produced by Tongyuan."

"[-] rounds! No, no, absolutely not, Lao Kong, [-] rounds is too many bullets."

Kong Jie said: "A lot? I sent you Lao Zhang 10,000+ copper coins one after another. That's 10,000+ bullets. I only need [-] rounds. This should be very reasonable, right?"

"In addition, prepare a hundred shell guns for me, preferably with twenty rings."

"You just sell me." Zhang Wanhe shouted, and directly dismissed the pick, saying that he would do nothing.

Kong Jie said: "One hundred thousand copper coins will be delivered to you tomorrow."

Zhang Wanhe, who was still determined, was stunned, "Really?"

"Don't worry, hand over the copper coins in one hand, and I'll get the equipment in the other. If you don't believe me, I'll ask the monk to bring the copper coins over tomorrow, and you, Old Zhang, will order some yourself."

Zhang Wanhe immediately turned his sorrow into joy, and laughed loudly: "I still believe in your old Kong's character. Besides, if I really count the [-] copper coins, it will have to be counted until the year of the monkey?"

"It's just that, Lao Kong, one hundred shell guns is indeed too much, and you are too difficult for me."

Kong Jie said: "Old Zhang, don't worry, our old Kong has always been honest in his work and will never let you suffer.

According to the current production process of our headquarters arsenal, there is absolutely no problem in producing this shell gun. The most difficult process is the barrel, right? "

Zhang Wanhe nodded and said: "That is indeed the case. When I talked about this with Director Yuan last time, Director Yuan said that using the original materials of the North China Security Force, the production equipment of the arsenal and the technology he mastered , it is not difficult to produce some guns and the like.

But once the materials brought back from the arsenal are exhausted, it is basically impossible for us to independently produce firearms, especially barrels with difficult craftsmanship. "

Kong Jie said: "That's right, I will ask the monk to send you some long barrels in a few days.

The arsenal can use these barrels to transform and produce a batch of shell guns.

For example, a long barrel of about 99 mm is used to produce three boxes with a barrel length of [-] mm, and one long barrel can produce six three boxes.

For the two boxes inside the shell gun, the barrel length is 140mm or 130mm. Four to five can also be produced with this long barrel.

With the current technology and resources of our arsenal, the production of light machine guns and the like is too expensive for us to afford. It is better to transform these long barrels and use them to produce shell guns, increasing the number of firearms and making them more practical. "

Zhang Wanhe said: "Old Kong, do you really have a way to get a long barrel?"

Kong Jie nodded. The last time he asked Jiang Dao to communicate with Qian Shoucai from the 57th Regiment, Qian Shoucai said that he could indeed get such a batch of long barrels.

After all, the light and heavy machine guns used in the Jinsui army need to be replaced from time to time, and there are still reserves of barrels.

It is not too difficult to transform the long barrel used in light and heavy machine guns into the short barrel used in shell guns.

Zhang Wanhe immediately made a decision, gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, if you, Lao Kong, can provide you with long barrels, I will also agree to the hundred shell-mounted guns."

Then Kong Jie asked about the ammunition situation of other battle regiments during this period.

Zhang Wanhe said with a wry smile: "It's hard to be optimistic, if other regiments can be like your independent regiment, then my logistics department will not be difficult to handle.

The large-scale sabotage operation we launched a few months ago was basically a tough battle.

Most of the combat troops, after a battle is won, the stronghold is taken down, and the amount of ammunition that can be consumed is even much greater than the amount of ammunition captured.

The ammunition on hand of this army is getting less and less, and the more they fight, the more scarce they are.

Our team doesn't even dare to fight a war of attrition.

For example, the red-headed bullet in front of you is also being produced by your independent group, and you should know the specific situation, Lao Kong.

The performance of this kind of bullet is not as good as the bullet captured by the devil.

If you hit close, it is easy to make mistakes, and the hit rate is not high.

But even so, many regiment leaders have come to me frequently these days, begging for more of these red-headed bullets.

There is no way, it is said that there is a lack of bullets in the regiment, and there is no ammunition captured during this period.

As a regular combat force, there are less than five bullets per capita. How can we fight this battle?
Even my fringe grenade, which blows in half, is in short supply right now. "

Kong Jie also sighed, and said: "Our Eighth Route Army is basically isolated and helpless. From the general situation, the equipment is backward and the ammunition is lacking. This is the fact that there is no way to change it.

Mr. Zhang, what we can do right now is to speed up the arsenal. If we can make one more bullet, it is a bullet, and if we can make one more gun, it is a gun.

My ability, Kong Jie, is limited. On the premise of taking care of my independent regiment, I will definitely not hesitate to help other combat troops.

In this way, I will add another [-] copper coins to you, and the arsenal at the headquarters must step up production to increase the ammunition reserves of our troops. "

Really human!

Zhang Wanhe said emotionally: "Old Kong, I thank you for all the soldiers in the logistics department and for those combat troops who have received ammunition from the logistics department!"

Kong Jie said: "Thank you for what I did? After the copper coins are delivered to you, just get me [-] red-headed bullets."

Zhang Wanhe: "..."

"You boy, you really don't see the rabbits and don't scatter the eagles!"

Kong Jie took it for granted: "That is, the bullet of our independent regiment, and it was not brought by the strong wind."

Zhang Wanhe had no choice but to say: "Okay, [-] rounds is [-] rounds, I can't beat you... Also, I heard that your independent regiment's repair shop has recently produced some briquette stoves. It's not good either, especially when dealing with cold machinery, many workers' hands are swollen from the cold.

Old Kong, I don’t want too many, you send me fifty. "

Kong Jiele said: "That's easy to say, why don't you pack me another five hundred sets of cotton clothes, and I'll bring you two more cars of briquettes later?"

Zhang Wanhe said: "Fuck you, you want to exchange my cotton-padded clothes for those pieces of broken coal?"

Kong Jie was puzzled and said, "What's wrong with this? I heard that Li Yunlong can exchange grenades from your old Zhang with Japanese girls. Why can't I exchange cotton clothes with briquettes?"

"Could it be that your old Zhang is good at this?"

Zhang Wanhe: "..."

He stared straight and cursed, "Don't listen to that kid Li Yunlong's nonsense, it will ruin my innocence!"

"What kind of Japanese girl, I don't... care about it!"

Ha ha ha ha--

The two old comrades couldn't help laughing as they spoke, and the deal was concluded.

Kong Jie and Zhang Wanhe made an agreement to send transportation troops to pick up the equipment the next day.
