Show the sword, start from the guerrillas

"Come on, come on, I'll get up. Who of you thinks it's easy to be the detachment leader? You do it!" Zhao Danian stood up and casually took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, but found that the cigarette box was soaked by water. He quickly opened it and took a look. Then he took out the cigarettes and distributed them to several people and said, "Originally, we were just a guerrilla team. I didn't expect the head of the headquarters to upgrade us to a detachment. This is a lot of pressure!"

"It's only a matter of time before you are promoted to a detachment! Whether it's the development of the base or the construction of the army, you are counted! And when it comes to military industry in fighting, you are second to none! The number of Japanese devils you have destroyed is more than that of an entire brigade, right? If we don't promote you to a detachment, how will our brother units see you?" Ding Wei said.

"Don't feel any pressure, just develop with peace of mind! Now that the anti-mopping-up operation is over, the deputy commander-in-chief personally met with us and asked us where we should continue to develop our team. I discussed it with Lao Ding and decided to come to your side, Lao Zhao! Look, our independent regiment will be stationed directly in Zhaojiayu to guard the gap from Yangquan for you. Lao Ding went a little further away to develop in Dazhai!"

"With our two regiments, one guarding the northwest corner and the other guarding the southeast corner, we will escort you. The outer security of your detachment will be guaranteed! So, this equipment..." Li Yunlong said.

"We've come back to the same old story, haven't we? But we're relieved now that your two regiments are here! How about this, we shrink the defense area of ​​our detachment, give Baijing Town to your Independent Regiment, and give the area west of Jiedu to your New 1st Regiment for development? As for equipment, we really don't have that much, but we still have to give the support that should be given!" After Zhao Danian finished speaking, he looked at Zhu Xingyu, and then Zhu Xingyu took over the conversation.

"We checked our inventory yesterday and have prepared support for you! Not much, 200 semi-automatic rifles for your regiment, 20 Qi Lali light machine guns, 30 grenade launchers, and 1 grenades. What do you think? If you can wait, we can also give you one or two 82 mortars!"

"Okay, we have defended these places! And our independent regiment has occupied the places from Zhaojiayu to the east, west and north! As for weapons, your support has been very great, thank you for your support! By the way, what about these submachine guns? How about giving us some?" Li Yunlong said.

"Submachine guns are really not good enough. We have just started mass production and we really can't produce that many! If you can wait, I can give you 30 at the end of the year!" Zhao Danian took over the conversation.

"Haha, okay, it's better to have something than nothing, let's wait!" Li Yunlong said.

"Since Old Li has spoken, our New 1st Regiment will take over these places, and then our direction will be to develop westward. While controlling the section of the Pingliao Highway from Ping'an County to Xiyang, we will cross the highway line, connect with the mountainous areas in the west, and establish a base for our New 1st Regiment! Now, I don't know who will establish a base in the northwest corner?" Ding Wei said.

"That's fine! But it will be very difficult for you to develop like this! Although a lot of the Japanese soldiers of the Fourth Brigade were killed by us, the Japanese's foundation is still there, including the artillery towers, strongholds, blockade networks and blockade trenches. If you want to develop, you have to break through them!" said Zhu Xingyu.

"It's okay. We are not afraid of difficulties, but we are afraid of having a mother-in-law above our heads! We are not allowed to do this, and we are not allowed to do that. We have to report first if we want to mobilize troops. How can we develop the team like this? It is better to be stationed far away from the headquarters. We will have the right to mobilize troops independently, and it will be much easier to develop! Besides, you, Old Zhao, are supporting us behind us. You can't just stand by and watch when we can't win!"

"That's not possible, Lao Li! But let me make this clear first. You can't cause trouble casually. At least, you must keep it stable before the team develops! Once our team develops and we have people, guns, and food, we can fight a large-scale battle with the Japanese!" Zhao Danian did not forget to remind.

"Don't worry, Old Li knows what's going on!" Li Yunlong nodded. They had finished talking about what needed to be discussed, but the heavy rain was still falling, making the audience feel sleepy. So, everyone sat in the conference room and chatted about recent topics and anti-raiding to kill time. At noon, everyone had a meal together, but Li Yunlong was not allowed to drink, because the sun was shining at noon, and Li Yunlong and his friends were leaving.

Walking on the muddy ground, the cadres of the Beishan Detachment saw off the Independent Regiment and the New 1st Regiment, and then life went on as usual.

After Li Yuexuan fired a magazine of bullets at the shooting range, he did not continue to supervise the special forces training, but returned to the arsenal to supervise various production. Since Li Yunlong and his men also wanted submachine guns, they might as well make more, so that at least one submachine gun could be equipped to each squad.

The pistol bullets fired by the submachine gun have weaker penetration and are effective at a very short distance! If the submachine gun is equipped with a magazine of homemade dum-dum bullets for close combat or hand-to-hand combat, it will be a plus. The Japanese will probably like the feeling of such bullets hitting their bodies.

That afternoon, just as Li Yuexuan was personally leading people to assemble a pile of parts into submachine guns, Xiao Fengyun brought some people and pushed a string of small carts into the yard.

"Director, there are a lot of such scrap guns among the things sent by the Independent Regiment and the New 1st Regiment. Do you think they can be used?" As he spoke, Xiao Fengyun picked up half a Type 38 rifle from the cart.

It is said to be half a gun because this Type 38 rifle was obviously blown up by a shell, and the buttstock was gone somewhere, only the barrel connected to some iron sheets was there, and the trigger was still there.

"How can we use this? The barrel is bent so much, we can't use it directly! And it's a Type 38 rifle, we won't look down on it even if it's repaired! How about this, you ask the cold forging process to cold forge the barrel, and cut off the straightest section for processing. If the length is right, use it as the barrel for a semi-automatic gun; if it's not suitable, expand the hole and cut the rifling, and use it as the barrel for a submachine gun." Li Yuexuan said after taking a look.

"That's the only way!" Xiao Fengyun nodded, threw the half gun back onto the cart and said, "We have received such useless guns before, but the damage was not so serious and the quantity was not so large. We repaired the ones that could be repaired and gave them to brother units or militias. As a result, this time, there are more than 2000 useless guns sent in, of all models, and they are obviously the equipment of the Japanese puppet army!"

"Make use of the waste. Use what you can use. Put the unusable ones in the scrap warehouse and send them back to the smelter for re-refining when there's a chance. It won't go to waste! By the way, look for the bolt inside. It's protected by a receiver and won't break easily. Store the ones that are useful together. We don't produce the Type 81 rifle anymore, but we can give it to other arsenals!"

"If one day we need to expand our military on a large scale and are in urgent need of weapons, perhaps we can also restart the production of the necessary horse rifles! That's it, I'll continue, you go and get busy!" (End of this chapter)
