Show the sword, start from the guerrillas

Chapter 98 Chapter 097, Be arrogant

"I really didn't expect that a single guerrilla battalion could have so many supplies! I heard that a while ago in Division 3, the New st Regiment and your guerrillas wiped out one battalion and destroyed two battalions. It seems that it won't be long before our Eighth Route Army will have a main force regiment with powerful firepower!" Captain Huang sighed.

"Yes, the spoils seized this time can arm our entire battalion! But before that, we still have to distribute the spoils first! Especially the guerrillas. This time, Xiao Li alone can match the combat power of your 716th Regiment. We have to keep up with the guerrillas! But...hahahaha, some of us have learned how to deploy them. We can also fight the Japanese in this way in the future!"

"The brigade commander is right! Our enemies are powerful, but we are also growing stronger and stronger, and the ways to kill the enemy are also increasing. One day we will be able to defeat the devils!"

"If you ask me, that song still says it well: We don't have guns or cannons, but the enemy makes them for us! Look, this Captain Ganye not only sent us guns, but also 6 cannons! I would like to make this captain a transport captain! Hahahaha..."

The headquarters was full of laughter and chatter, and there was a sense of the atmosphere that the masts and oars were destroyed in the midst of laughter and chatter. But next, the spoils of war would be distributed.

The 358th Brigade was the main force in this battle, and the brigade commander was also qualified to distribute the spoils, so a meeting to distribute the spoils was immediately launched.

"This time, we have seized a lot of supplies. So how should we distribute them specifically? I have a suggestion. First of all, we should send the two mountain cannons to the division headquarters and hand them over to the artillery regiment for use. We will keep the infantry cannons for our own use. Do you have any objections to this? Comrade Zhao Danian, Comrade Li Yuexuan, what are your opinions?" asked the brigade commander.

"We have no objection to this! Even if these big guys are given to our guerrillas, we can't use them! Hahaha, let's give them to the main force and let the comrades blow up the Japanese!" Zhao Danian expressed his opinion.

Zhao Danian had no objection, and naturally the cadres of the 358th Brigade had no objection either. After all, they still had four infantry guns left, and if they were divided between the two regiments, each regiment would have exactly two guns.

"Then next are weapons such as machine guns, heavy machine guns, rifles, grenade launchers and ammunition. If you have any requirements, just let us know! I still say that you guerrillas should follow me! Didn't Xiao Huang say that you can choose any spoils of war and take as much as you can! I have no objection to this!" said the brigade commander.

"Well..." Zhao Danian, Li Yuexuan and Xing Weiguo looked at each other and didn't know what to say.

"Well, let's go around and see our comrades and the spoils. You guys can discuss it!" The brigade commander suggested and took the lead to the battlefield.

"What do you two think?" Zhao Danian looked at Li Yuexuan and Xing Weiguo, hoping for their advice.

"Captain, I think it's meaningless for us to ask for too many weapons. We just need to make sure we can gather a company of 150 people! You can't get fat in one bite, we have to take it step by step! However, we can ask for more ammunition! This Ganye Brigade is different from the devils we encountered before. Those devils have been fighting for many days and have consumed a lot of ammunition."

"And this Ganye Battalion was wiped out after only three days of fighting. Although they fought a battle with Division 3, they should have sufficient ammunition. Did you pay attention to this?" Li Yuexuan spoke first, mainly asking about the ammunition issue. In fact, the independent battalions of the Japanese devils carried a lot of ammunition when they went out to fight, otherwise how could the Yamazaki Battalion withstand the siege of several regiments? In addition to their geographical advantage, they carried enough ammunition to hold out for so long. There is a document that says: The Japanese battalions will have transport teams that carry a day's worth of ammunition. The exact amount is unknown, but it is essential.

"I've seen the Japanese's ammunition, and they do have a lot. We can ask for more! Do you think 1 bullets is a problem?" Zhao Danian asked.

"The Japanese have 9660 rounds of ammunition for one Type 8 heavy machine gun, and we captured eight of them this time. Although there should be a lot of marks from iron sand on them, the bullets are not broken!" Li Yuexuan, who suffers from a severe fear of insufficient firepower, began to urge for more ammunition. In fact, the guerrillas still have a lot of ammunition. The New st Regiment distributed a lot of it after the retreat from Longwang Temple, but who would complain about having too much?
"Then I want 2 rounds from him!" Zhao Danian hardened his heart and said, "I've seen the ammunition for your grenade launcher. You've seized quite a lot. How about I ask him to give me 400 of them?"

"I think it's okay! As for the guns, we have a total of 90 Type 30 rifles. I think more will be enough. At least it will be enough to arm a company!" Xing Weiguo added.

"Hmm... let me think about it... Captain, how about we replace the Type 716 rifles with Czech-style ones? Let's exchange them with the 5th Regiment. I think this Type 5 rifle is really no good. Not only is it easy to break, but it also takes up too many people, which is not suitable for our guerrillas! I think, if we replace all the Type rifles with Czech-style ones, with Czech-style machine gun groups and grenade launchers, the suppressive firepower will be almost enough!"

"In addition, we need more bullets for the Czech-style rifle, at least 200 rounds for each rifle, and some bullets for the Mosin-Nagant. We also need some miscellaneous items such as lunch boxes, water bottles, quilts, military coats, and warm cashmere sweaters. Just fill them up for us based on the future scale of 150 people." Li Yuexuan continued to propose.

"And there are telescopes. We need a few more of them. We have to develop eventually, and we need a few telescopes for future use. Well, I feel that's enough. Any more would be greedy!" Xing Weiguo said.

"Do what we want account for 10% of the captured materials? Not even 10% at all. How can we be so greedy? I think you two should learn from Captain Li Yunlong! Well, let me add that we have to have some large livestock, at least to increase our livestock transportation capacity!" Li Yuexuan continued.

很快，三个人就商量好了需要的物品：6倍望远镜2个，掷弹筒榴弹400发，三八大盖30支，6.5mm子弹2万发，歪把子交换捷克式并且用6.5mm子弹交换7.92mm子弹跟7.62mm合计1000发（7.62mm子弹300发）。棉被、保暖衣、军大衣、饭盒等等87套。大牲口5头。

The three of them discussed it, and Zhao Danian even wrote a list on paper before going to find the people from the brigade who were watching the pit filling.

When Zhao Danian handed the list to the brigade commander, Brigade Commander Zhang frowned and said, "That's all you want? No problem! What do you want to exchange for bullets? I'll give you these in addition! Who are you looking down on?"

After winning the battle and seizing a large amount of supplies, Brigade Commander Zhang became more and more arrogant.
