Chapter 98, Equipment of a Regiment

……

Why does the brigade commander care about the Xinyi Regiment and the Independent Regiment?

It's not because Ding Wei and Kong Jie are better than other team leaders.

Each regiment leader is a proven fighter who has come out of blood and fire.

There may be imbalances in ability and flaws in character, but when it comes to leading troops to fight, all of them are good players.

The Xinyi Regiment and the Independent Regiment were able to get the attention of the brigade commander because the non-staff transport captain of the 386th Brigade was jumping back and forth between the two regiments during this period.

Presumably, the new group and the independent group should have accumulated a lot of wealth, right?

Deputy Brigadier Xu, who is mainly in charge of these two regiments, said with a smile on his face: "Old Chen, the new regiment and the independent regiment are well developed.

Take the independent regiment that has changed the most. Three months ago, there were members in the regiment, and less than half of them had no rifles, especially light and heavy machine guns.

As of last week, the Independence Regiment had grown to 400 men, with four fully staffed infantry battalions.

A firepower platoon with nine heavy machine guns, and an artillery platoon with two mortars and a Type 92 infantry gun.

Now it's ready to use. "

"Oh, then the combat power has doubled directly." Staff Officer Zhou was taken aback when he heard that.

It took three months to turn a basic regiment into a main force regiment, which is really too fast.

Li Yunlong, who used to be the most troublesome in the brigade, spent more than a year leading the new regiment, and he didn't necessarily have such a fortune.

Kong Jie obviously did not rely on his own ability, but had external help.

Is that Yuan Lang?

Chief of Staff Zhou guessed the idea right away.

The Eighth Route Army developed rapidly, and there was a shortage of cadres.Everyone is responsible for a lot of things.

In many cases, it takes a lot of energy to get things done well.

Chief of Staff Zhou put all his energy into the 771st and 772nd regiments, and it was normal for him not to know the situation of the independent regiment and the new regiment.

It is his skill to be able to guess immediately.

The brigade commander manages the affairs of the whole brigade, and has to go to the headquarters for meetings from time to time, especially because he has been so busy recently that he hasn't heard about the situation of the new regiment and the independent regiment for a long time.

Hearing that the independent regiment was developing well, he said with a smile: "When Li Yunlong had three cannons, he always called them the artillery company, why did Kong Jie call them the artillery platoon?
Is he afraid that you will "rob" him, old Xu? "

"Robbery" has become a fashionable word, and it was Li Yunlong who shouted it out first.

During that period of time, Li Yunlong bought a lot of good things by Yuan Lang, at least half of them were robbed by the brigade commander.

After many times, Li Yunlong was terrified when he received a call from the brigade headquarters.

After Yuan Lang went to the Xinyi Regiment and the Independent Regiment, Li Yunlong didn't have to worry about being robbed for a while. It was Ding Wei and Kong Jie who suffered from the phobia of being robbed.

Some equipment and materials were seized during the war, and then some assistance from Yuan Lang was received.Often, before things are warmed up, they will be sanctioned and robbed by the brigade.

Deputy Brigadier Xu laughed loudly: "Maybe there is this factor. Every time the supplies are delivered, they directly load half of them into the truck and wait to answer my call. They are used to it."

In fact, half of the supplies from the robbery were distributed according to needs.

The rounds of various artillery shells were assigned globally by the headquarters.

Many Eighth Route Army troops who were trapped in the dilemma of having only cannons but no shells added a wave of ammunition.

The division commander has praised it, saying that this batch of shells is a timely rain in the desert, which provides strong conditions for the next raid.

Needless to say, all other materials were distributed to the subordinate armed forces of the 386 brigade.Everyone has gained weight.

All this is due to Yuan Lang, the non-staff captain of the transportation team.

"Old Xu, the independent regiment has become the main force, and the new regiment has a better foundation than the independent regiment. How is it doing now?" Chief of Staff Zhou asked curiously.

He really wanted to know how much the non-staff transport captain had provided for the Eighth Route Army.

Commissar Wang helped his glasses frame and said, "Yes, when Xinyi Tuan was in Li Yunlong's hands, he laid a solid foundation.

I remember that after the Xinyi regiment had a head-to-head fight with the Bantian United, there were still thousands of people in the regiment.There are many light and heavy machine guns, and there are three light mortars.

Now, it should have grown to more than 1500 people, and the artillery company has become worthy of its name, right? "

"That's more than that." Deputy Brigadier Xu said with a smile: "The Xinyi Regiment now has four infantry battalions and more than 1700 soldiers.

The artillery company has two 92-type infantry guns, and among the four mortars, three are 82-press and one is -press.

The shell reserves have half the base, which can be described as extremely rich. "

Both the Independent Regiment and the New First Regiment were under his jurisdiction, and they were able to develop to what they are today...

Although half of the credit should be attributed to the excellent transportation, the other half should also be attributed to his good leadership.

Deputy Brigadier Xu and You Rong Yan.

"This is about to catch up with the 772 regiment."

Political Commissar Wang and Chief of Staff Zhou, who learned about it in detail for the first time, were all taken aback.

It has almost doubled again in a few months, and at this rate...

wrong.

It's impossible to come like this, there must be some restrictions.

Political Commissar Wang asked: "Old Xu, have you counted how many weapons and equipment our second transportation captain, Consultant Yuan, has delivered to us?"

The political commissar was undoubtedly curious about Yuan Lang, where did such a large number of weapons and equipment come from?

How did it pass through the enemy's blockade and transport it in?

Of course, deputy brigade commander Xu also had the same doubts as the political commissar, and he recorded it in detail.

Within three months, Yuan Lang transported 14 artillery pieces and more than 2500 rounds of various shells.

There are hundreds of light and heavy machine guns, more than 1000 rifles, hundreds of thousands of bullets, and more than 100 boxes of grenades.

Counting other supplies and support, these equipment alone are enough to form a reinforced regiment and support them.

"It's really surprising. Before you know it, it's an equipment for strengthening the regiment." Chief of Staff Zhou said with admiration.

He has the urge to invite people to the 771st or 772nd regiment.

With so many weapons and equipment blessings, wouldn't the two main groups develop faster and become even more powerful.

"How did they get in?" Political Commissar Wang asked again.

Such a huge amount of materials, even if transported in by ants moving, is particularly difficult.

The devil is not blind, even the daily necessities of life must be blocked, and it is even more impossible to let these deadly things flow into the base area easily.

The brigade commander frowned, feeling that the discussion was going too far, and interrupted: "Political commissar, this is his core secret.

If we have to know everything, people may not be willing to cooperate with us.

You have to allow people to have secrets. "

Yuan Lang is a partner of the Eighth Route Army and a friend of the 386th Brigade, not a subordinate.

The brigade commander has a clear understanding of this, so he has never asked these questions in the past six months, and has defended Yuan Lang on many occasions.

"Old Chen, I didn't mean that. The comrades of the underground party spent a lot of money to purchase a batch of medicines.
However, it is currently impossible to pass through layers of blockades and send them to our base area.I was wondering if I could ask someone from Consultant Yuan to help me? "

Political Commissar Wang poked his temple with his finger. Ever since he knew about this, he had had a headache for a long time.

The war is about to start, and casualties are an unavoidable topic.

The Eighth Route Army has always been short of doctors and medicines. If there is a batch of medical medicines, it will save many lives.

The brigade commander hesitated for a moment, but agreed: "I will communicate with Consultant Yuan about this matter.

But don't have too high hopes, the medicines of underground party comrades may not necessarily be on their transportation routes.

Still have to consider other ways. "

Seeing the political commissar nodding his head, he heard it in his heart.

The brigade commander said: "Then, let's move on to the next topic, how to fight the Xinjing Coal Mine?"

Xinjing Coal Mine is located north of Zhengtai Road and south of Po River.Together with Kailuan and Central Coal Mine, it is listed as the three major coal mines occupied by Japan in North China.

The coal here is of good quality, which can not only make iron and steel, but also extract oil.More is directly used as power fuel for trains and ships.

The importance here is no less than that of several county towns.

The Eighth Route Army has long wanted to move them.
