Rise from the sword

Chapter 26 Harvest
Headquarters.

"Is it here?"

The boss, who was smoking and relaxing outside, looked at the mule-drawn cart behind the Deputy Chief of Staff and the boxes of supplies on the horse-drawn trolley. He exhaled a mouthful of smoke and looked surprised:
"So many? All?"

There are five carts, each of which is full of weapons and ammunition boxes. The mountain road near the headquarters is flat, and the carriage can easily pull several hundred kilograms of heavy objects. Calculated, this amount is not small.

"It's all, that kid is rich, much richer than I thought"

The deputy general counselor smiled and shook his head, dismounted and walked towards the boss, with a tone of exclamation:

"He gave thirty machine guns this time, and fifty thousand rounds of 6.5 pointed bullets, and..."

After saying this, he paused and said in a more amazed tone: "There should be another batch in the future. Although the kid did not say the specific number, it should not be much worse than this batch."

"Thirty machine guns, [-] pointed bullets!" The boss raised his eyebrows.

After seeing five horse-drawn carriages, he was mentally prepared, but the actual number still surprised him.

The Eighth Route Army Headquarters accompanies the 129th Division's operations. Including the escort headquarters' spy regiment and the 129th Division's nine directly affiliated main force regiments, all their belongings add up to less than [-] rounds of bullets, and Li Yunlong's one shot is [-] rounds. Ten machine guns, this is the number of machine guns in a main group.

"It is indeed richer than we expected, this kid," the boss said with emotion.

Li Yunlong has been under him for so many years, how could he not know the character of that kid, he is definitely a rat, and his family will never be exposed. Since he can take out [-] machine guns and [-] rounds of ammunition, then in his hands There are definitely more.

"Thirty machine guns, of which 27 are crooked handles, and three are Czech-style. Most of them are of good quality, and the rifling is still intact, especially a few of them are crooked handles, which are almost new"

As the deputy general counselor spoke, he beckoned the people from the headquarters to remove the box from the carriage.

He still borrowed this mule scooter from the 386 Brigade, and he would have to return it later. Before he set off, he never thought that Colonel Li would give materials so readily.

"This is normal. The Bantian United Team is the permanent division of the Devils. The machine guns they use are all of the best quality. Li Yunlong will definitely be able to capture a few better quality machine guns after defeating Bantian."

The boss smiled and frowned.

Thirty machine guns and [-] bullets made him feel better.

"However, the bullet he gave this time is very interesting."

The deputy chief of staff walked to a horse-drawn cart, took out an ammo box from it, placed it on a stone table in front of the boss, and pointed to the ammo box: "Look at this ammo box."

The boss then turned his attention to the ammunition box in front of him.

Seeing this, he suddenly raised his eyebrows in surprise: "This box is actually the same material as the previous box of the shell gun, and it is also painted, and the appearance has also been frosted."

As the boss, that is, the deputy commander-in-chief of the entire Eighth Route Army, his knowledge is extraordinary. He can see at a glance that the ammunition box on the table is made of pineapple wood, and the exterior is painted and frosted.

The wood treated by this process has an excellent hand feeling, no knocking, no slippery, and even a certain waterproof and moisture-proof function, but it is very time-consuming.Generally used in the manufacture of gun stocks.

Not to mention devils, even European and American powers rarely use this process to make ammunition wooden boxes, which is a waste of time and money.

"6.5 rounds of Arisaka 25 pointed bullets, [-] rounds per box, [-] boxes in total, all of which are made of this kind of wooden box, and the quality is almost exactly the same"

The General Staff said this sentence almost word for word. Then, he opened the box on the stone table, pointed to the horseshoe that had been opened inside and the bullets wrapped in oil paper, and said:
"And, look, these bullets"

"It's not a devil's bullet"

The boss reached out and touched the bullets in the box, then raised his eyebrows,
Whether the bullets are good or not, the veterans know exactly that, the boss has been in the army for decades and has not fired on the front line for a long time, but he is still the veteran who has been honed in hundreds of battles.

As soon as he touched it, he felt the extraordinaryness of the bullet.

This kind of bullet, not to mention the appearance and color, is better than the Devil's bullet. The lubrication of the shell alone is several times that of the Devil's bullet. It feels smooth and smooth to the touch, but it will not slip off.

It's like wiping the gun oil, but there is no gun oil on the bullet casing.

With this type of bullet, the probability of jamming when the gun is fired is much, much lower.

"The devil's bullet is not so good," the boss said with certainty.

If the devil has this bullet, then the crooked handle is a good gun.

The biggest problem with the crooked handle is that it is easy to jam. When shooting, the ammunition supply funnel must continuously supply oil to ensure the lubrication of the bullet, otherwise the light jamming can turn the machine gun into a rifle.

Then he took out a few bullets and looked at it for a while:
"This shell is a good thing"

The boss was overjoyed, he turned over the bullets in the box, touched them one by one, and then said in a serious tone:

"It is necessary to strengthen shooting discipline. This batch of bullets must be recovered after use, and none of them can be missed. All the bullets must be recovered in the arsenal for reloading."

Guns and bullets are indispensable.

Today, the Eighth Route Army's self-built arsenal has a bumpy road to making guns, but it's barely finished. Using the steel of the devil's rail, it is still possible to make rifles and even a very small amount of machine guns.

But making your own bullets completely is far from enough.

The old man always knew it himself.

Today's Taihang Shanshui Yaozi Arsenal, even if they try their best, it is impossible to make a bullet out of nothing.
No way, bullets are much more technically difficult than guns.

The arsenal was dumbfounded by the copper-zinc alloy needed for the production of bullet casings. Steel can also steal the rails of the devil. A small amount of this copper can be manufactured locally or bought elsewhere, but there is really no way for zinc.

Even if there are materials, the subsequent punching, stretching, and mouth squeezing of the cartridge case will not be useless after dozens of procedures, but there is still a long way to go, and long-term exploration is required.

Therefore, today's arsenals can only be reloaded. Although the bullets, propellants, and primers of the bullets are relatively high-tech, there are alternative solutions, and the effect is a little worse, and it is better than nothing.

"There must be a lot of him there. Take this opportunity to seize his braids and get more." The boss put down the bullet in his hand and waved his hand: "At least squeeze him another fifty thousand rounds, this kid is a rat. , there must be many more.”

Such a good thing, we must get more.

"If he really gave it, then this time..." The deputy general counselor took the opportunity to beg Captain Li for mercy.

Although the opinions have been unified, he still feels that it is best to balance the merits and demerits. The main reason is that this punishment is meaningless. In the future, Captain Li will definitely and will do it again.

"The punishment is still necessary, so that he will have a long memory, but if there is another [-] rounds of bullets, let him stay in the quilt factory for only two months, and let him reflect on it."

"The new regiment will be handed over to Ding Wei for the time being. I have sent someone to call him back, and he will arrive in a week."

The boss was in a good mood at this time, and decided not to impose a heavier punishment. At first, he planned to let Chief Li work for half a year.

"More than a month later, a company of more than 50 old Red Army soldiers came from Yan'an. These veterans were all trained veterans. They were originally planned to be incorporated into the secret service regiment. Then use these veterans as the backbone and transfer 500 people from the teaching regiment. Let’s form a new second group.”

"Exactly, the [-] machine guns will be given to the new second regiment."

The training regiment is actually a recruit training regiment, and its main function is to train new recruits.

"Ding Weiken went to the new second regiment?" asked the deputy general counselor.

Everyone wants to pick up ready-made ones, and no one wants to go to a newly formed regiment. After all, it is a very difficult thing for a new regiment to integrate its combat power.

"Also, in our current situation, is Ding Wei suitable for integrating a new regiment?" The deputy general counselor continued to raise doubts.

Integrating a new troop is actually not difficult, but the Eighth Route Army lacks materials, and the new troop has almost no materials allocated by superiors.

"This, let the 386 brigade solve it by itself." The boss twitched the corners of his mouth and decided to ignore it.

The entire 129th division can even be placed in three divisions of the entire army. In terms of the ability to integrate troops under difficult conditions, Commander Li deserves to be the No. 1 choice.The new regiment was originally the tail of the crane, but he forged it into the number one main force.

However, handing in [-] rounds of ammunition, dozens of machine guns, and transferring people from the old army is really not very kind.The boss decided not to be the bad guy.
