Show the sword, start from the guerrillas

Chapter 199 Chapter 198, semi-automatic is finally going to be used!
"Captain, the arsenal is going to move away, right?" Li Yuexuan asked about the serious matter after finishing his last bite.

"We are moving away! But we have left a part of it to serve as the foundation of our guerrillas and to facilitate your next work!" Zhao Danian saw that Li Yuexuan was a little confused, so he continued, "During this period, the arsenal has worked overtime and produced more than 600 Type 50 rifles. Minister Zhang left us for our own use."

"The reloaded bullets left us with 1 rounds for our own use, as well as a complete set of reloading machines and enough propellant and primer powder to reload 10 rounds of bullets."

"As for the hand grenades, they didn't take away all the production tools. Instead, they left us some molds and explosives so that we can produce them ourselves, but the output will be very low."

"On the rifle side, two technicians, Huang Tianyang and Chen Mo, stayed behind. They also left us a rifling cutting machine that they had just built, the one that was driven by a donkey pulling a grinding wheel. At the same time, they also left us a deep hole drill that was also recently made. These are the foundation left to us so that we can continue to develop!" said Zhao Danian.

"Ha, Minister Zhang is leaving some seeds, waiting for them to blossom and bear fruit again! But it's also good this way, too high a production capacity is not a good thing for our guerrillas! Large production capacity means more personnel, and it's inconvenient to transfer between battles! The current situation is still good, two senior fitters, with a dozen skilled soldiers, can make whatever they want! Especially grenades, as long as Comrade Chen Mo is here, it's fine!"

"That's the matter! By the way, Comrade Liu Feixu was transferred with Minister Zhang. She has also made some breakthroughs during this period. I believe that when she returns to northern Shaanxi, the industrial production of sulfonamide will be possible! Well, this is what Minister Zhang said, not my evaluation. After all, I don't understand it, and I dare not ask!" Zhao Danian said.

"It's good that they're gone. The sooner we can achieve mass production, the more comrades can be saved! Captain, have all the Type 81 carbine rifles been distributed to the guards platoon?" Li Yuexuan changed the subject.

"Yes, they were all given to the Guards Platoon, and we'll keep the remaining ones for the time being! What do you think? Also, the new grenade launchers are very different from the Japanese's. Minister Zhang left us 6 of them and 800 grenades for us to use at will! However, the lathe was taken away, and one less grenade is one less!" said Zhao Danian.

"The new grenade launchers are much stronger than the Japanese ones. The ones left to us are enough for us to use for a while! Hehe...we will use the Japanese grenade launchers and grenades first, and then use our own ones after they are used up! However, please replace my grenade launcher, I will use the new one! As for the Type 81 carbine rifle..."

Li Yuexuan thought for a while and said, "Captain, let Master Chen lead a special squad! Dismiss my comprehensive squad, and I will no longer be the squad leader. I will directly lead Cai Xiaotian, Xu Hongying, and Jiang Daquan as the platoon leaders of the supplementary platoon. Master Chen will lead the rest of the comprehensive squad and become the medical squad of our guerrillas."

"Let them all carry Type 81 rifles as weapons. They will be responsible for the medical and health work of the whole team in peacetime, and for battlefield first aid in wartime. They will be the supplementary squad of the supplementary platoon and can also serve as the stretcher team in wartime!"

"This method... is fine. Let Taoist Chen lead a class alone! Tell me, do you have any other ideas?" Zhao Danian continued to ask.

"Well, I do have ideas, such as the newly-made semi-automatic rifle. Isn't it still locked in the west wing? I plan to equip our team with it. For example, I can use one and replace all the members of Squad 7! Or, I can equip the best shooter in each platoon to enhance the medium and long-range firepower of each platoon. But I must have one!" said Li Yuexuan.

"Haha... okay, let's finalize the matter of the medical team first! Then, you can simply call together the comrades from the previous sharpshooter training group and let them adapt to the new gun. Whoever performs best will use it! This way, it all depends on personal ability, and no one can say anything!" Zhao Danian said.

"Well... okay, I'll go gather the sharpshooters and let each of them fire 20 bullets. Whoever is capable can do it! Captain, can you give me a note?" Li Yuexuan said.

"Haha, OK, I'll write you a note and get the bullets! Are you going to shoot at a fixed target or a moving target this time?" Zhao Danian asked. "Based on actual combat, this time, we'll shoot at a 200-meter moving target! Chief of Staff, could you please arrange it?" Li Yuexuan asked Zhu Xingyu.

"Okay, I'll arrange it for you! We'll clear the ditch in the east for you, and prepare the drifting targets for you. How about you take care of the rest yourself?" Zhu Xingyu said happily.

"Yes, yes, absolutely!" Li Yuexuan nodded quickly.

The disbanding of the comprehensive class did not cause much commotion in the guerrillas. After all, Li Yuexuan, the nominal squad leader, was too busy, and Taoist Master Chen Jue'an led the team most of the time. Therefore, the comprehensive class was split out of Li Yuexuan and his four people, and one person was transferred from the supplementary class to make up for it, and a 4-person health class was formed.

As for Li Yuexuan, he no longer had the position of squad leader, and only had the positions of platoon leader and second mate. Of course, this was not important. What was important was that he finally had a semi-automatic rifle in his hand, which was the key! What Li Yuexuan was considering now was whether he should pick some good players from the guerrillas and form a special operations team?

Well, special operations teams and special forces are the types of troops that everyone likes. Li Yuexuan is considering whether to set up a small combat squad in the guerrillas.

However, after thinking about this idea for a while, he temporarily rejected it! It's not that he doesn't want to, but the conditions are not ripe! Nowadays, the best individual soldiers of the guerrillas are actually in the vanguard squad, which is the closest to the special operations team. However, to form a special operations team, stronger training and better equipment are needed, and these conditions are not yet allowed.

Putting aside the ideas that could not be realized for the time being, Li Yuexuan led the urgently assembled sharpshooters to the river east of the village to prepare for live-fire shooting and finally determine the ownership of the nine semi-automatic rifles.

Why 9? There are 10 guns in total, so Li Yuexuan must keep one for himself! He can't just shoot for nothing and not keep one for himself, right?

"Okay, let's not waste any more time. These guns are the semi-automatic rifles made by our arsenal! Don't laugh, you have been exploring them a lot these days, right? You can disassemble and assemble them skillfully, right?" Li Yuexuan asked with a smile as he looked at the 20 or so soldiers in front of him.

"Hey, we are so familiar with it!" Tianchuan, the squad leader of Class 7, took over the conversation directly: "While you were teaching others, we were familiar with these guns! Captain, isn't it time to distribute them to us? You decide how to do it, and we will follow your instructions!"

"What else can we do? In the army, the strong are given priority! The chief of staff has brought people to prepare drifting moving targets for us. Each of you will have 10 shooting opportunities. Whoever has the highest hit rate will be given the target! Comrades, let me make it clear in advance. After the battle, whoever is the best will be used. But during the battle, if anyone fails, hand him over to other comrades!"

"Yes, Captain!" the soldiers shouted in unison.

PS: It’s a new year, happy new year to everyone... well, I’m one year older, how can I not feel happy... Then I wish everyone peace and safety, and all is well!
