Bright Sword: Infinite Logistics

boom!
West of Niecun, near Songcun Town, a 60-mm artillery shell fell on the training ground that had been set up long ago by the New 1st and 358th Regiments, blowing a wooden target in the trench that represented a machine gun position into the sky.

Then countless shells fell, gradually extending to the sides and rear of the position. Fifty meters away, a platoon of the Eighth Route Army launched an attack on the "Japanese position", with several machine guns plus twenty rounds per shift firing continuously, and the firepower was stronger than that of the Japanese.

Behind the Eighth Route Army, a platoon of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army had not yet reacted to what was happening and they were all standing there in a daze behind their makeshift shelters.

"Platoon leader, the artillery fire hasn't stopped yet, why are the Eighth Route Army charging? Training shells are also artillery shells, aren't they afraid of casualties?"

"I don't know." The platoon leader of the 358th Regiment answered subconsciously, and then suddenly reacted: "What are you standing there for? Let's charge too. Don't let the Eighth Route Army look down on us! The regiment commander is still watching from behind!"

The soldiers of the Shanxi Suiyuan Army quickly got up and chased the Eighth Route Army in front. All the targets they saw along the way were hit by the Eighth Route Army, and the only thing they could do was to catch up with the friendly troops in front. As a result, the charging team gradually became chaotic, and a few fast runners caught up with the Eighth Route Army, leaving a huge distance between them and the main force.

……

In the exercise command center next to the New 1st Regiment's artillery position, Li Yunlong, Chu Yunfei and others were observing the exercise with binoculars.

The sound of gunfire in the distance surprised the officers of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army: judging from the gunfire, the platoon of the New 1st Regiment had the firepower of an entire battalion of the Eighth Route Army, and the configuration of automatic weapons was luxurious. Even more surprising was the artillery company next to them, which not only had a large number of mortars and sufficient shells, but also had experienced gunners with excellent accuracy.

If they were not wearing colorful and strange uniforms, these officers of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army would even have thought that they were the elite of the Japanese regular division.

Chu Yunfei's face was not looking good either. He could guess that the new regiment would become stronger, but it was still beyond his expectation that it would become this strong. It had only been a short time since the new regiment formed an artillery company and even practiced infantry-artillery coordination. This speed of progress could only be described as terrifying.

Now he understood Li Yunlong's confidence. Compared with the enemy, his 358th Regiment was far behind in terms of firepower density and tactical quality. As for fighting will, the 358th Regiment might be stronger than other Shanxi-Suiyuan troops, but it probably had no advantage over the Eighth Route Army.

The only thing he had that allowed him to defeat the new group was numbers.

"Brother Yunfei, your troops are pretty good. Look at how fast they move. It seems that the rumors are true. Your army is best at running!" Li Yunlong put down the telescope and looked at Chu Yunfei, who had a stern expression on his face.

Although there were no confrontational drills in this exercise, the army's combat effectiveness can still be seen from its performance.

For example, the platoon of the 358th Regiment obviously did not keep up with the pace of the New 1st Regiment. In order to catch up with the friendly forces, even their own formation was messed up, and their performance was already poor to a certain extent. This was Chu Yunfei's men who were lost. Even when Li Yunlong mocked him in the face, he had nothing to say and could only change the subject.

"Hmph, Brother Yunlong, which mountain village have you been to to save up your fortune? I haven't seen you for a while, and you've even mastered the coordination between infantry and artillery." Chu Yunfei forced himself to control his expression and asked Li Yunlong.

There was a hint of accusation in this statement. It was nothing more than another tactic used by the Eighth Route Army to preserve its strength by roaming around without fighting. After being accused so many times, even someone like Li Yunlong who had no interest in politics understood Chu Yunfei's meaning in an instant. "That's why Brother Yunfei misunderstood. After I became the head of the New 1st Regiment, we killed at least 800 Japanese soldiers. The equipment we had was exchanged for the heads of the Japanese soldiers, one head for one box of bullets. When the soldiers heard this price, they didn't even care about their lives when they went to war."

At this point, Li Yunlong changed the subject: "Unlike some people who can't even distinguish between friend and foe, and spend all day thinking about how to kill their own people, you don't think our heads can also be used to claim the reward, right?"

This is to accuse Commander Yan of collaborating with the enemy. We are all decent people. Although we have done something that has turned against each other, we still have to abide by the united front on the surface. At this point in time, the only ones who dare to publicly offer a reward for the Eighth Route Army generals are the devils.

Then the one who goes to receive the reward from the Japanese can only be a traitor.

At this point, Chu Yunfei could only remain silent. He couldn't win the fight, and he was not in the right with words, so what else could he do?
Chu Yunfei could only sigh helplessly, then turned his head and glanced at Fang Ligong. Fang Ligong actually told him how much Li Yunlong's head was worth yesterday.

The Japanese usually offer bounties based on rank, and they will only raise the price if they suffer a loss. Generally speaking, the regiment-level reward is one thousand dollars, and the brigade-level reward is five thousand dollars. The New 1st Regiment is special. The Japanese raised the price of Li Yunlong's head some time ago, and the price rose to two thousand dollars.

After hearing what Li Yunlong said today, Fang Ligong was really a little...

Seeing that Chu Yunfei had nothing to say, Li Yunlong started the conversation again: "Brother Yunfei, do you not trust me? What other cards do you have hidden? Show them all."

"Trump card?" Chu Yunfei was stunned.

Commander Yan knew the composition of the 358th Regiment very well, so he naturally could not provide them with equipment. Not to mention the good stuff that could be used as a trump card, even rifles were seriously insufficient, and five people might not be able to get one. It was only because Chu Yunfei and Li Yunlong had reached an arms agreement and often attacked the devils that they could ensure that their combat effectiveness would not decline.

How could Li Yunlong not know what his trump card is?

"I've heard that your army's submachine guns are a unique one. If they can be distributed to every squad, once the enemy gets close, they will be strangled by fierce firepower. I want to learn your army's tactics, but I can't get a submachine gun. I can only issue a 20-shot rifle to each squad and use it reluctantly." Li Yunlong laughed a few times: "Brother Chu, you are not looking down on me, are you? A whole platoon of people are pulling the bolt, and they are not even willing to take out a submachine gun?"

Chu Yunfei finally understood that Li Yunlong was showing off to him: My automatic firearms have been popularized in the class, what about you? Does your commander Yan treat you as his own?

"That's right. Brother Chu is from the Shanxi Suiyuan Army. He was raised by his biological mother. He can use all the good equipment. It's reasonable for him to look down on me. I was raised by my stepmother. I don't get anything. Now I don't even get bullets."

Li Yunlong sighed in a pretentious manner, and imitated Meng Zhige's tone, saying to Chu Yunfei: "I'm sorry that I couldn't let Brother Chu use his full strength."

Seeing Li Yunlong's irritating appearance, Chu Yunfei felt a tightness in his chest. With your equipment level, Li Yunlong, you are crying poor to my 358th Regiment? How can there be such a shameless person in the world! (End of this chapter)
