Bright Sword: From Northwest Shanxi to Shangganling

Chapter 106 Want to steal a chicken? Dream on
Half of the artillery tower outside Shenkou Town collapsed.

At this time, Chen Chengxing was standing on the roof and observing the situation in Shenkou Town with a telescope.

Suddenly, Chen Chengxing saw a dozen people on the west wall, climbing out along the ropes, carrying large and small bags on their backs.

"Hey, isn't it true that there's a road to heaven but you don't take it, and there's no door to hell but you break in?" Chen Chengxing said with a smile.

Just by looking at their clothes, Chen Chengxing could judge that they must be high-ranking officials of the pseudo-security army, and Qin Youde might be among them.

After hearing Chen Chengxing's words, the people who were originally staring at the interior of Shenkou Town immediately turned their gazes to where Chen Chengxing was looking.

"Captain, do you want to shoot?" Wei Dayong said as he took off the Ma Sihuan on his back.

The heavy machine gun next to it also pointed its gun in that direction.

Qin Youde and his men were facing away from the artillery tower at the moment and had no idea that they were being pointed at by guns.

"Give me the gun." Chen Chengxing took the Ma Sihuan from Wei Dayong and said:
"It's about 350 meters from here to there, right? I can kill that guy hanging on the rope with one shot, do you believe it?"

"Hehe, Captain, I know your shooting skills. You can hit the target at 200 meters without any problem, but I don't believe you can hit the target at 350 meters." Wei Dayong said with a smile.

It is impossible for a person who has never practiced shooting to suddenly become an extremely good shooter.

"I think you are just looking up at the sky with your butt sticking out, you have no vision." Chen Chengxing said unhappily.

It was 200 meters before, but now the system has upgraded the shooting once, so is it possible that it is still 200 meters?
Is this looking down on me or looking down on the system?

"If I hit you with one shot, you can't drink for three months! Do you dare to bet?" Chen Chengxing asked.

"Drink? I don't drink." Wei Dayong pretended to be confused even though he knew the truth.

"You're lying. When we attacked the county town in northwestern Shanxi, the special agent company gave me two bottles of Fenjiu. I didn't drink them. Where did they go?" Chen Chengxing said.

In other words, Chen Chengxing doesn't like drinking as much as Li Yunlong, otherwise he would have jumped up and cursed.

For the Eighth Route Army, Fenjiu is not something they can easily afford, and Li Yunlong is lucky enough to have a few sips of sweet potato wine.

"Hehe. I saw that you didn't drink it, so I was afraid that it would go bad. This is good wine. It would be a pity if it went bad." Wei Dayong, who was exposed, laughed awkwardly.

"Hehe." Chen Chengxing just smiled disdainfully and said nothing.

"Well, Captain, if you can hit me, I promise not to take your wine away again." Wei Dayong said, patting his chest.

"Don't make such a promise. Just don't drink for three months." Chen Chengxing said.

Can't I drink in the house if I don't take it with me? What's the point of having a bottle of wine left after drinking?

"Okay, then don't drink." Wei Dayong nodded. He didn't believe that the captain had suddenly become a sharpshooter.

"But what if you miss?" Wei Dayong asked.

"We will definitely be able to seize a few bottles when we attack Shenkou Town. You can choose any one of them then." Chen Chengxing said casually.

I have my own system, how can I lose?
"middle!"

"Watch carefully." Chen Chengxing said as he raised the gun.

On the city wall, Qin Youde was pulling the rope, letting the people above slowly lower him down.

In the past, Qin Youde was a man who would hang his head on his belt and roll around on the battlefield. Unexpectedly, after being an official for so many years, he had lost all his blood and courage and didn't even dare to slide down the rope.

In order to escape this time, Qin Youde took nothing with him except his valuables, and the dozen or so people with him were all his trusted confidants for many years.

"Slow down, slow down, let it go slower, don't let me fall!" Qin Youde shouted in a low voice.

Hearing Qin Youde's request, the people pulling the rope above became more cautious.

After Qin Youde was safely lowered, the others climbed down along the ropes.

"Let's go, let's go quickly." Jia Junfei said in a low voice.

"boom!"

Suddenly a gunshot rang out in the distance.

Everyone who had just left the city wall immediately fell to the ground.

"Where was the shooting? Who of you was shot?"

"No!" "I wasn't hit either."
Everyone shook their heads.

"It's bad! Commander!" Jia Junfei reacted immediately.

When they looked up, they saw Qin Youde lying on the ground sleeping soundly.

On the artillery tower, Chen Chengxing casually threw the gun back into Wei Dayong's hands.

"3 months."

"Oh," Wei Dayong said weakly.

Who would have thought that a person who never practiced shooting on a daily basis would suddenly become better at shooting than himself.

Is this some secret extra practice?
"Ma Zhiyuan, take the reconnaissance platoon to capture those people for me." Chen Chengxing ordered.

These guys are carrying a lot of bags and small bags, and it goes without saying that they are valuable goods, but these are not included in the material distribution plan.

The New Second Group is short of money now.

"Yes!" Ma Zhiyuan immediately led his men and rushed over there.

When Chen Chengxing entered Shenkou Town, Li Yunlong and Kong Jie were winking at each other.

"How is it? Is everything under control?" Chen Chengxing asked. "It's under control. There's no problem with the factory. Qin Youde has produced a lot of ammunition in the past few days, all of which are Type 79 rounds."

"It seems that he was planning to hold on, but he didn't expect that we would give him a huge blow." Kong Jie said with a smile.

"This is a good thing. The more he produces, the more we get." Chen Chengxing said.

"You just need to organize the workers to dismantle the equipment. If there are anyone willing to go with us, we can take them along as well," said Chen Chengxing.

Chen Chengxing had just asked about this. Most of these workers used to be from the Taiyuan Arsenal, and even the equipment was from the Taiyuan Arsenal.

At the beginning, Yan Xishan organized people to take away all the advanced equipment, but these basic machine tools could not be moved away at all.

The Japanese also looked down on these old equipments before World War I, and distributed a lot of them to the various Locust Alliance troops that defected to them.

"I have already arranged it." Li Yunlong said.

They don't know how to ship these equipment, so the workers have to do it themselves.

"Leave me some of those raw materials. They can be used in the repair shop of the New Second Regiment," Chen Chengxing added.

Although the New Second Regiment can now produce its own explosives and propellants, the output is not large. Bringing some back from here can also subsidize the Erlangdong Arsenal.

"Hehe. These raw materials are easy to deal with, but Old Chen, should we discuss the seized equipment?" Li Yunlong said.

"What are you talking about? The tunnel was dug by the New Second Regiment, and the New Second Regiment also provided the most explosives. So the New Second Regiment must have contributed the most, right?"

"As we said before, the New Second Regiment will take half, and you will each take 1/4." Chen Chengxing knew what Li Yunlong was going to do as soon as he heard it.

"Hey, Old Chen, I don't agree with what you said. The tunnel was dug by the villagers, and we also provided the explosives. You can't take all the credit, right?" Kong Jie said.

Faced with the alliance of Li Yunlong and Kong Jie, Chen Chengxing knew that he would inevitably suffer losses.

However, at this time, as long as you can win over one person, your losses will be smaller.

As for who to win over, there’s no need to even think about it.

"Old Kong, you are hurting the feelings of my old comrade. I saw that your independent regiment needed development, and was planning to use my share to subsidize you with 1/5 of the rifles, but you are doing this..." Chen Chengxing shook his head helplessly.

Kong Jie made a quick calculation and thought that he could have half a platoon more equipment than if they split it evenly, so he immediately changed his words and said, "Old Chen, look, I haven't finished what I'm saying yet."

"Everyone has indeed made some contributions, but the New Second Regiment still has the greatest contribution. The brigade commander said at the beginning that the one who made the most contributions would get half, and we can't disobey his order."

When Li Yunlong heard Kong Jie's words, his eyes almost popped out.

Well, you, the guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes, actually betrayed us on the battlefield!
"Old Kong! Didn't we agree on this?!" Li Yunlong said anxiously.

If you, Kong Jie, defect to Chen Chengxing, then wouldn’t it be us, Old Li, who will suffer the consequences?

"Old Li, what did we say?" Kong Jie pretended to be confused even though he knew the truth. They didn't say it clearly just now.

"Didn't you see me pinching my nose and making eyes just now?" Li Yunlong said angrily.

We had an eye contact just now, and you just deny it?
"How would I know why you squinted your eyes? I thought there was sand in your eyes." Kong Jie said casually.

If everyone has made an agreement, it would be difficult for Kong Jie to go back on his word, but if he just knows it in his heart, he can just push it off.

I don’t understand, is that okay?

"I you." Li Yunlong was choked and couldn't say anything.

"Okay, Lao Li, justice is in the hearts of the people, let's do it." Chen Chengxing laughed secretly in his heart.

You, Li Yunlong, still want to steal my chicken? Wishful thinking.

"Xu Wu, you will be responsible for the equipment distribution." Chen Chengxing ordered.

"Yes!"

"Alas" Facing Chen Chengxing and Kong Jie who formed a united front, Li Yunlong had no way to deal with it.

"Zhang Dabiao, you go." Li Yunlong said dejectedly.

I originally thought I could eat more, but after setting up the table, Kong Jie ate a few more bites.

For Li Yunlong, not taking advantage would be a loss, and watching others taking advantage would be an even greater loss!
After the supplies were distributed, Chen Chengxing looked at the list in his hand.

There is nothing much to say about the mortars. The New Second Regiment was allocated two.

There were a total of 9 heavy machine guns of various models, but because the artillery tower was blown up, 3 of them were damaged.

The New Second Regiment received three Type 3 heavy machine guns from the intact heavy machine guns.

As for the captured rifles and pistols, there were all kinds of them. There were five or six models of Mauser pistols alone. It was like a World Expo.

“这3挺重机枪全部划到3营，再从3营拨2挺92式给2营。”

"The light machine guns will be divided equally, with the standard being two per row."

"The rifles will be selected by each battalion first, and the ammunition will be unified as much as possible. The surplus rifles will be given to the guerrillas when the time comes."

With this batch of weapons added, only the 3rd battalion of the three main battalions was still lacking a heavy machine gun to complete the reorganization.

Once the 60mm mortar is developed, each battalion will become a standard reinforced battalion.

The new Second Regiment can only allocate light machine guns to the squads of the first battalion, while the other troops can only have two per platoon. Even if the number of machine guns is sufficient, it will be useless because the ammunition supply cannot keep up.

Only when Erlangdong Ordnance Factory can mass-produce bullets will the new Second Regiment be able to have machine guns in its squads.
