The Sword of Swords is a Guard for Kong Jie

Chapter 251 Kong Jie: I'll Give You the Repair Shop (Part [-])
The troops and horses have not moved, the food and grass go first!
Not to mention after the expansion, the current independent regiment consumes more than a thousand catties of food every day.

The trophies captured by the troops from Taiyuan and Jinzhong were mainly weapons and ammunition, supplemented by food, and the rations would not last long.

When the troops were investigating the enemy's situation, they also took the opportunity to find out the food situation in the surrounding area.

The situation is more severe than imagined.

The land in Northwest Shanxi is barren and the grain output is low. After feeding the local people, there is almost nothing left.

In order to make up for their own shortage of troops, the Japanese army formed a large number of puppet troops in the local area, and asked the local people to pay for food and money to support them...

If the food tax cannot be paid according to the regulations, the Japanese and puppet troops will send troops to loot...

For more than a year, at least [-] local people were brutally murdered by the Japanese and puppet troops because they could not pay the food tax...

After paying the food tax, I didn’t have anything to eat, and more people died of starvation. If there is no one thousand, there will be seven or eight hundred...

Under the exploitation and oppression of the Japanese and puppet troops, the local people could not even keep their food rations after a year of hard work. As a result, they lived on wild vegetables and tree roots for two months every year.

In this case, even if the local people are willing to provide their own rations to support the team, Kong Jie is too embarrassed to accept it.

Finally, he thought of grabbing food, took down several strongholds, killed the Japanese and puppet troops, and robbed them of food as rations for the independent regiment.

But no one knows how much food those Japanese and puppet army strongholds have hoarded. If the amount is small, it will be a drop in the bucket to get it back, and it will not solve the food crisis of the independent regiment.

If they can buy some food from the ocean, the food supply of the independent regiment will be more guaranteed, and the food crisis of the independent regiment may be resolved.

Immediately nodded: "Take [-] yuan to buy food first... if it is not enough, add more!"

"In order to ensure the combat effectiveness of the troops, we must store rations for at least one month!"

"Before the expansion of the army, find a way to store [-] catties of grain!"

"After the expansion of the army is completed, the total force will reach [-], and at least [-] catties of grain must be stored!"

Li Wensheng immediately took orders: "Tomorrow I will arrange for people to buy food!"

After finishing speaking, he continued: "Except for Dayang... the headquarters took into account that we are located in the northwest of Shanxi. After the Taiyuan Arms Factory went into production, even if the weapons and ammunition were produced, it would be difficult to deliver them to us. Support us with small equipment for loading bullets and repairing firearms, let us reload bullets, repair firearms, and fight devils on our own!"

"Also assign Comrade Zhu Shaohua, whom we brought back from Taiyuan, to the Independent Regiment and serve as the director of the Independent Regiment's Repair Institute!"

Kong Jie's face was full of joy again, and Huang Yu was also very happy and excited when he heard the good news.

Without an arsenal, the ammunition supply of the Independent Regiment could only be captured.

In the previous big battles, the Independence Regiment was lucky and seized a large amount of weapons and equipment... But that doesn't mean that the Independence Regiment's luck will continue to be good.

In his memory, in the middle and late stages of the Anti-Japanese War, the Japanese began to restrict the ammunition carried by the attacking troops on a large scale in order to prevent the Eighth Route Army from supporting the war.

Under normal circumstances, a single Japanese soldier carries [-] rounds of ammunition.

In order to prevent the Eighth Route Army from snatching unfinished bullets after the troops were defeated, in the middle and late stages of the Anti-Japanese War, each devil carried a maximum of sixty rounds to go out, which caused the Eighth Route Army's battlefield seizures to plummet! "

There have even been many battles in which the ammunition seized was not even as much as the bullets fired.

This kind of battle may be able to last once or twice, but if there are too many times, the Eighth Route Army, no matter how solid its foundation is, will be beaten to nothing.

Now, with the talents and equipment for reloading ammunition and repairing firearms, the independent regiment can produce ammunition by itself, and can continue to develop without relying on seizures.

If you are lucky, if you grab some other equipment from the devils, you might be able to expand the repair shop into a small arsenal and directly produce bullets and shells...

Then the independent group really developed.

Immediately said to Kong Jie: "Leader, the armory is very important, we must protect them like treasures!"

"If the head of the regiment trusts me, the assault company is willing to take on the important task of protecting the repair shop."

Kong Jie also attached great importance to the Repair Institute, but not as much as Huang Yu.

Seeing that he attaches so much importance to the workshop, one miracle after another created by Huang Yu in the independent regiment quickly appeared in his mind, and he had an idea to order: "Assault company must not only protect them, but I also want to hand over the entire workshop to you." to manage..."

"The specific arrangements are all up to you, and the chief of staff and I will not interfere!"

Huang Yu didn't expect Kong Jie to be so courageous that he would give himself the entire repair shop.

Li Wensheng was also taken aback by the leader's decision, and was stopped by Kong Jie's eyes just as he was about to speak.

Staring at Huang Yu, he continued: "Those who can do more work...Xiao Huang, I have seen your ability with the chief of staff. It is definitely not a problem to manage a small repair shop. How about it? Do you have the confidence to complete this task!"

Kong Jie's words were more like aggressive generals, and Huang Yu could tell at a glance.

Seeing that Kong Jie neither agreed nor opposed, but frowned and fell into deep thought.

I am familiar with the future direction of the Anti-Japanese War, and I also know that the ammunition supply of the Eighth Route Army will become more and more tense as the current situation worsens.

At that time, the workshop will be extremely important.

If you hold the armory in your own hands, try to find equipment for them, and develop the armory into a small arsenal. When the troops run out of ammunition, the armory will be able to pull the troops out of the predicament.

After thinking through all this, Huang Yu raised his head decisively: "Please don't worry, leader, I will definitely take care of the repair shop!"

Seeing that the chief of staff was still worried, Kong Jie immediately comforted him: "Lao Li, don't worry..."

"As far as I can remember, Xiao Huang has never said anything big to us!"

"Since he has the confidence to lead the repair shop, it must be no problem!"

"Under his leadership, the Assault Company has created one miracle after another for us!"

"I believe that the Repair Institute can create more miracles for us under his leadership!"

"That's it for this matter, you continue to introduce the background of our independent group!"

"Knowing myself and the enemy, I can send troops to attack the surrounding strongholds."

Now that Kong Jie has made a decision, Li Wensheng has no choice but to continue to report: "We have brought back all the weapons, ammunition and supplies we seized from Taiyuan and Jinzhong, and the headquarters didn't want a single bullet!"

"A total of 26 rifles... [-] light machine guns... no heavy machine guns or artillery!"

"In order to capture Jinniu Mountain, the three regiments used all the heavy machine guns and artillery captured, leaving only some light weapons!"

"But there are a lot of ammunition of all kinds. In total, there are [-] rounds of rifle machine gun ammunition, [-] rounds of heavy machine gun ammunition, [-] grenades, [-] grenade grenades, [-] mortar shells, three A hundred mountain artillery shells, two hundred and sixty infantry artillery shells, and four thousand catties of high-strength gunpowder!"

"In addition, there are six flying thunder cannons made by myself, thirty packs of ten-pound explosives, thirty packs of fifteen-pound explosives, and ten packs of twenty-pound explosives!"

"Captain Li and Commander Ding also allocated six flying thunder cannons, and the remaining dozen were all taken away by the brigade commander and the boss, saying that they were doing research and then promoted by the entire army!"

"These were brought back by the supply troops!"

"There are 925 people left in the whole regiment including the supply troops, and there are another [-] seriously wounded who were treated in the headquarters field hospital and returned to the team after recovering. There are a total of [-] people in total!"

"Equipped with two mountain cannons, one infantry cannon, five mortars, six heavy machine guns, 29 light machine guns, nearly [-] rifles, [-] submachine guns, more than [-] Mauser pistols... Among them Some of the Mauser pistols were captured by us from the Taiyuan Arsenal!"

"The units that are fairly organized are the cavalry company and the assault company!"

"There are 86 soldiers left in the cavalry company, equipped with 188 horses. As long as there are new recruits, they can recover their combat effectiveness in half a year at most!"

"There are 89 fighters left in the assault company, and the armored platoon was split into two when it was at the headquarters..."

"There is no way to use armored vehicles on the mountain roads in the northwest of Shanxi. Two armored vehicles and half of the soldiers stay at the headquarters, and the other half of the soldiers move with the independent regiment. If the armored vehicles are captured in the future, we can immediately resume the formation of the armored platoon!"

"We also brought back the six anti-aircraft machine guns we seized at Taiyuan Airport. The headquarters didn't want them. They said they would be more effective if they were left to us!"

"I think that after the troops are full, they can be used to form an air defense platoon!"

Kong Jie calculated the family background of the independent regiment while listening, and then began to give orders: "I will bring one infantry gun, three mortars, and three heavy machine guns for this attack..."

"The independent regiment has just arrived, not only to win the battle, but also to show the strength of the troops!"

The Liuzhuang stronghold is the largest stronghold of the Japanese and puppet troops around Baipogou, and it is also one of the targets of Kong Jie's assault in this operation.

There are more than [-] Japanese and puppet troops stationed here, including two infantry squads, a mortar squad, a heavy machine gun squad, and two companies of second devils...

As soon as the independent regiment arrived at Baipogou, the Japanese and puppet troops here received the news.

The squadron leader, Captain Yamaguchi, climbed up to the top of the gun tower every day to observe the situation around the stronghold...

After watching for two minutes, I found nothing, and decisively turned my attention to the training ground in the backyard of the stronghold.

More than two hundred puppet troops were training hard, and a few devils walked among them and patrolled back and forth, punching and kicking anyone who was lazy.

If you don't correct your mistakes, you will be tied to a wooden frame in front of everyone to show the public, and you will be whipped...

"Yo Xi, since we were allowed to transfer the Imperial Army to serve as commanders at all levels of the Imperial Association Army, the discipline and combat effectiveness of the Imperial Association Army have improved significantly!" Captain Yamaguchi sighed while watching.

"Although it is not as good as the real imperial army, relying on fortifications, it is definitely no problem to stick to the position."

The captain of the Second Lieutenant on the side immediately answered: "In the past we fought against the Eighth Route Army... Once the Imperial Army was defeated, the Imperial Association Army would rush to surrender!""

"Now their squad leader, platoon leader, and company commander are all from the imperial army!"

"Keep an eye on them and fight to the death with the Eighth Route Army. No one dares to surrender!"

"As long as the Eighth Route Army hiding in Baipogou dares to attack us, those two companies of the Imperial Association Army will definitely scare them!"
