Anti-Japanese War: I have unlimited assistance

Chapter 463 Harvest Season!
Seeing Ding Wei and Kong Jie standing there in a daze, Li Yunlong smiled contentedly.

"Don't worry, you two will get your share."

"Does Old Li look like that kind of person to use the Japanese that your two regiments eliminated to settle accounts?"

"Not like that." Kong Jie nodded, and then said, "You are that kind of person."

Ding Wei breathed a sigh of relief and nodded in agreement: "Exactly. During the Red Army's period, when supplies were distributed, you always ate more and took more."

Li Yunlong said, "Fuck you, if that's what you're talking about, then I won't give you weapons and equipment. Go ask whoever you want for them."

"Li Yunlong!"

Kong Jie slammed the table angrily and stood up with his face flushed and neck thick.

"Kong Erlangzi, what do you want to do?"

Li Yunlong's eyes widened.

"I was wrong!"

Kong Jie said loudly.

Li Yunlong asked, "What's wrong?"

Kong Jie said: "You, Li Yunlong, are not stingy at all. You, Li Yunlong, have high ideological awareness and do not have the slightest bit of localism. You have never taken more than you deserve."

Li Yunlong raised his eyebrows: "Why do I feel like you are making fun of me?"

"No, no." Kong Jie hurriedly shook his head, "Absolutely not."

Li Yunlong looked at Ding Wei: "Old Ding, what about you?"

Ding Wei immediately said, "I think the same as Lao Kong."

"That's about right!" Li Yunlong nodded in satisfaction. "This time, I'm leaving you both with heavy weapons: 22 tanks each, 12 mountain cannons each, and enough weapons and equipment for men."

After the 167 tanks were divided equally, Li Yunlong and the headquarters received 84 and 83 tanks respectively.

Li Yunlong planned to use 32 tanks to expand a tank battalion, and the other 8 tanks to supplement the 44st and nd Tank Battalions, and the remaining tanks to be divided equally between Ding Wei and Kong Jie.

During this period, their two regiments also sent a number of tank soldiers to the new regiment's on-site school to learn how to drive tanks.

This is a good opportunity for each of them to expand a tank battalion.

As for the 24 105mm howitzers this time, there was no place for Ding Wei and Kong Jie.

But even so, Ding Wei and Kong Jie, who were furious just now, now had smiles on their faces as bright as chrysanthemums.

"Haha, then I'll accept it with pleasure."

Kong Jie laughed. "That's what I was saying. We've been comrades for so many years. How could Lao Li possibly take our share?"

"Old Li, I cannot thank you enough for your kindness," Ding Wei said politely. "From now on, if you, Old Li, just say the word, I, Ding Wei, will go through fire and water, even death, without hesitation."

With these two tank battalions and two mountain artillery battalions, plus two main regiment-level weapons and equipment.

The combat effectiveness of the New Third Regiment and the Independent Regiment will be greatly enhanced.

These 44 tanks alone made Ding Wei and Kong Jie kneel down and call Li Yunlong "Dad". If they hesitated for even a second, it would be disrespectful to these 44 tanks.

"No, no, we in the Eighth Route Army don't do that."

Li Yunlong said this, but the smile on his lips became even bigger than before.

Captain Li was so happy that he successfully showed off in front of his two old comrades.

Soon, the three brothers were arm in arm, talking and laughing.

Old comrades are like this. One second they are pointing at each other and cursing, spitting on each other's faces, and the next second they are fine as hell.

Li Yunlong suddenly slapped his head and said, "How could I have forgotten about this matter? You two should quickly send a telegram to the regiment and count the rifles and light machine guns of your two regiments and report the data."

"What's the use?" Ding Wei asked, and Kong Jie also looked confused.

"What for?" Li Yunlong said, his eyes wide open. "Let me tell you, a great opportunity has fallen upon you. Boss Lin has developed a new rifle, and I've secured the opportunity for your two regiments to exchange their old guns for new ones."

Li Yunlong was not bragging about this. He really got the new guns for the two regiments of Ding Wei and Kong Jie.

If this had not been brought up during the meeting with Boss Lin, Boss Lin would have tacitly agreed to only replace the new guns for the New 1st Regiment.

"A new gun?"

Ding Wei and Kong Jie were stunned.

Now the guns in the hands of the soldiers are very easy to use. The Mauser rifles and Bren light machine guns in the hands of the soldiers are highly accurate, long-range, powerful, reliable and durable. The snipers are also equipped with four-fold optical sights.

But anything Boss Lin makes is high-quality. Ding Wei and Kong Jie suspected that Boss Lin wouldn't trade his Mauser rifle and Bren light machine gun for anything less than excellent. "That's right!" Li Yunlong nodded. "The regiment just happens to have a sample of the gun Boss Lin sent us. You can give it a try."

Ding Wei and Kong Jie naturally would not refuse.

Soon, Li Yunlong took Ding Wei and Kong Jie to the target to test-fire the new Type 56 rifle.

The gun test was very quick. In just half an hour, Ding Wei and Kong Jie completed the test firing of five or six series of new guns.

"How about this new series of guns?"

Li Yunlong looked at Ding Wei and Kong Jie.

After so many battles, although the Eighth Route Army in Northwest Shanxi had suppressed the Japanese in terms of artillery firepower, and the general machine guns could easily suppress the Japanese Type 92 and Type 99 rifles, the ordinary infantry was suppressed by the Japanese. Although the Mauser rifle was very good, the soldiers' marksmanship was generally not as good as the Japanese elite.

Ding Wei and Kong Jie also hope to equip the soldiers with better rifles.

As soon as he saw the expressions of Ding Wei and Kong Jie, Li Yunlong knew the result.

Looking at this Type 56 rifle, Ding Wei and Kong Jie looked as if they were looking at a beautiful woman.

"Very good semi-automatic rifles and light machine guns."

Captain Kong smiled broadly:

"Don't be fooled by its short size, but this semi-automatic rifle can hold ten rounds of ammunition, and most importantly, it can fire continuously, making it incredibly effective in hand-to-hand combat. Its recoil is smaller than that of a Mauser rifle, and its accuracy is quite good. I was able to hit every target at 200 meters the first time I fired it, and the accuracy at 400 meters is also impressive."

As for the Wuliu Chong, Li Yunlong had ordered it to be locked in the warehouse and it was not taken out at all.

The gas-operated feeding system used by the 56.5 rifle utilizes the high-pressure gas generated when the bullet is fired to push the piston or the bolt back, thereby completing the automatic cycling action.

This design can effectively reduce recoil and improve shooting comfort and accuracy.

Therefore, when it shoots, the recoil will not be as great as that of the Mauser rifle.

Similarly, the Type 56 light machine gun also uses a gas-operated automatic principle, a locking plate expansion type locking method, and is fed by a belt and belt box, but can only fire continuously and uses a fixed barrel.

Ding Wei ruthlessly exposed: "Lao Kong, that's because your marksmanship is not good enough. This gun can be used by a soldier with good marksmanship and can accurately hit a target at a distance of 600 meters."

Kong Jie: "Old Ding, you're talking nonsense. How many people can see a target at 600 meters?"

Ding Wei pointed at the five-six-and-a-half and said, "Isn't this a four-fold optical scope?"

Kong Jie's old face turned slightly red. Among the three brothers, he was indeed the worst shooter. His shooting results just now were not satisfactory.

"This gun is small, light, and easy to reload. Carrying it to attack enemy positions will hardly affect tactical movements."

"Long-range shooting can suppress the Japanese Type 38."

"Its accuracy and power are comparable to the Mauser rifle, making it suitable for general use among our soldiers."

Ding Datuanzi spoke highly of this gun.

Products produced by this system must be of high quality. After appropriately changing the caliber and further improving the gas-operated ammunition supply system, it still maintains extremely high shooting accuracy. The high-quality craftsmanship also makes the accuracy and reliability very impressive.

For a long time, there has been a problem that has always troubled the Eighth Route Army and even the entire Chinese army.

The Japanese's guns are better than ours, and their marksmanship is also better than ours. It can be said that the Japanese's guns were designed for invasion. The Japanese's guns are highly accurate and are even longer than Chinese rifles such as the Zhongzheng and Hanyang rifles. Chinese weapons have no advantage in shooting and hand-to-hand combat.

However, with this 56.5 rifle, ordinary soldiers will also have an advantage in fighting the Japanese.

"Haha, this gun is much more advanced than the Japanese Type 38." Kong Jie smiled. "And it uses Mauser rifle bullets, so it's very convenient to supply."

Ding Wei also nodded: "The new semi-automatic rifles and machine guns are compatible with Mauser pointed bullets, which can save a lot of logistical trouble."

Ding, Kong and Li, who were all experienced in the battlefield, were well aware of the importance of firearms and ammunition to the troops, especially when compared with the Eighth Route Army, a force with weak logistical capabilities.

Li Yunlong laughed heartily: "Yes, this is specially customized for us by Boss Lin."

Kong Jie said: "Boss Lin is so kind to us. When I have a drink with Boss Lin, I want to thank him in person."

Ding Wei nodded in agreement: "And me."

Li Yunlong nodded: "Okay, if Boss Lin agrees, I will notify you two when the time comes."

Ding Wei and Kong Jie looked at each other and felt that this trip was worthwhile, it was truly a season of harvest.

After this, the combat effectiveness of the New Third Regiment and the Independent Regiment will be greatly improved.

Ding Wei said, "Old Li, I have some new ideas about the future development of our Eighth Route Army in Northwest Shanxi."

Kong Jie said excitedly, "And me."

"It seems everyone has an idea, and I happen to have one too." Li Yunlong laughed and said, "No rush, let's go back to the regiment headquarters and talk slowly."
