Bright Sword: Infinite Logistics

Chapter 1 The current situation of the new group

Zhangzhuang, in the headquarters of the new regiment, the only two cadres of the regiment party committee gathered around the table and looked at the new regiment leader sitting on the kang. The atmosphere was a bit dull.

"I can't read this thing. I have been criticized by the brigade commander several times for being illiterate. It's not like you two don't know." Li Yunlong glanced at the booklet with the statistical tables in his hand and stuffed the book back into the chief of staff's hand: " Just report the important things to me verbally."

Li Yunlong turned sideways, put one leg on the kang, reached into his pocket and took out a box of cigarettes, took out one, lit it with a match, and took a deep puff.The smoke quickly obscured his eyes.

After joining the team for so many years, it would be nonsense to say that Li Yunlong is completely illiterate.But to say that he can read well, the comrades in the literacy class will start laughing. The brigade commander himself said that Li Yunlong will be assigned to a class that can read less than [-] words.

However, even with this level of education and having been a commander for so many years, Li Yunlong is still quite familiar with numbers.It's just that this time he already had a certain understanding of the losses in this battle.Two days ago, on the night of July 7, he attended the memorial service of the old leader of the New Regiment in Yushe County.

In July 1939, the Japanese army was raiding the base area. The New Regiment and the 7th Regiment of the Japanese 109th Division fought fiercely for two days near Yuncu Town. On the morning of the 107th, when Commander Ding led a company and a squad to cover the evacuation of the large troops, Unfortunately sacrificed.In addition to the sacrifice of the regiment leader, the political commissar and deputy regiment commander were seriously injured and sent to a field hospital for treatment; the regiment's supply director was hit by a stray bullet while personally transporting ammunition; commanders at all levels also suffered considerable losses.It can be said that Xinyi Tuan suffered a big loss.

Of course, the New Regiment was not a freeloader. It joined forces with a nearby local regiment to annihilate a dissatisfied Japanese squadron.Now that the Japanese had retreated, the new group quickly withdrew to Zhangzhuang, eighty miles away, to rest.

It was at this time that Li Yunlong was sent to the new regiment by the brigade commander.

"Okay." The chief of staff looked at the booklet in his hand and sighed: "In the battle of Yuncuo, the number of troops was reduced to 170, of which 180 were killed and the rest were seriously injured. More than 920 Japanese troops and more than [-] puppet troops were killed and wounded. At present, there are only [-] six people left in the whole group.”

"How much?" Li Yunlong raised his head and looked at the chief of staff.

"920 six people." The chief of staff repeated.

As a basic regiment, the new regiment has basically the same establishment as the main regiment. Although its number is not as large as that of the larger regiment of more than 3000 people, it should still have 2000 to 300 people.During this period, there were frequent exchanges of fire with the enemy, and each company was not full of men. Before the Battle of Yuncuo, the entire regiment had only more than 1000 men.As a result, there are now less than [-] warriors in the new regiment who can still fight.

"There are only more than 900 people left in our regiment?" Li Yunlong squinted: "I asked why the brigade commander was so generous this time, and asked me to bring a company over without saying a word."

Faced with such battle losses, Li Yunlong rarely got angry.The reason is very simple. The opponent of the new regiment was a regiment with more than 3000 Japanese soldiers. They fought fiercely for two days, which was already very good.

The chief of staff ignored Li Yunlong and walked to the map on the wall: "The regiment leader died, the political commissar and deputy commander were injured, and the first battalion commander died. There are five company commanders left, and one-third of the platoon leader and squad leader have been lost."

"The organization is still complete. I discussed with Lao Luo and dispersed the three battalions to the surrounding villages. Zhangzhuang currently only has the regiment headquarters and troops directly under the regiment."

The chief of staff pointed to the hand-drawn map hanging on the wall and showed Li Yunlong the locations where the three battalions were stationed.Li Yunlong looked at the map and took another long puff of cigarette.

"As for supplies, there is enough food to last until September. After that, we have to ask other troops for help, or go to the brigade headquarters to ask for food stamps. In terms of ammunition, we have [-] rounds of [-]-step machine ammunition. Do you have any left of [-]-step ammunition?" To a thousand. This time we were unable to annihilate the enemy quickly. After two days of fighting, all the bullets on the Japanese soldiers were exhausted, and not much was captured."

"In terms of firearms, there are 450 and [-] pieces of long and short guns. There are fifteen light machine guns with crooked handles, crooked handles, and Czech style, which are barely spread to the company. Three of them were blown up during the battle, and one of them had its parts replaced. The remaining The next two were sent to the repair shop." "In terms of heavy firepower, there are two heavy machine guns. Originally there was a thirty-section type. I was lucky this time and captured another three-year type. Two were damaged by the grenade. There are still three boxes of grenades left. In addition, there is a sixty-caliber mortar in the regiment, and there are two boxes of eight shells left."

After the chief of staff finished talking about the data, he closed the book in his hand and looked at Li Yunlong.Based on his understanding of Li Yunlong, this stubborn donkey was about to complain.

"Damn it, each person in the group has less than three rounds of ammunition? You are forcing me to go to the brigade commander to cry for poverty!" Li Yunlong cursed, and he threw the cigarette on the ground after he had finished smoking.Is it ridiculous that the dignified cadres only have so much ammunition left?

That being said, it's not easy to get the bullet from the brigade commander.At the beginning of this year, there were not many supplies distributed there. By July, only 190 million rounds of ammunition were provided, which was completely insufficient.In addition, the seizures of the entire division this year are less than one-eighth of the consumption, and a lot of the capital saved in the past two years has been used up.

As for civilian ammunition, a large part of it has been collected so far, and there is no way to pick up the abandoned positions of the Guo Army a second time.The Eighth Route Army's several channels for obtaining ammunition from the outside world are almost cut off. In this case, do you want the brigade commander to batch a batch of ammunition?Still having trouble getting through life?
"Old Li, it's useless for you to scold. Our team has been short of bullets for more than a day or two. Even if you really go to the brigade commander to complain about your poverty, you won't be able to get bullets. Moreover, the regiment doesn't have much funds, so it can't buy many bullets. In the end, The best way is to seize it." The chief of staff put the book in his hand on the table.

Li Yunlong suddenly raised his head: "What's the price of bullets here?"

The chief of staff directly quoted the price without thinking: "Rifle bullets are two yuan per row, machine gun bullets are four cents. A [-]-meter gun covers [-] yuan, and a light machine gun is [-] yuan. The puppet army has the number."

"This spear is so damn expensive." Li Yunlong shook his head.

Despite the harshness of his words, he knew the ropes very well.It can be said that the machine gun was abandoned. A few people in a machine gun crew were all running for their lives after a defeat. Who could care about carrying that heavy thing.But if the rifle is lost, it’s hard to explain to the superiors. Why don’t you just lose your man?
"So, my opinion is to restore the combat effectiveness of the [-]st Battalion first. The company you brought, Lao Li, will be directly integrated into the [-]st Battalion. The [-]nd and [-]rd Battalions will be compressed first. The commander of the [-]st Battalion will be temporarily replaced by the new company commander. .”

Li Yunlong raised his eyebrows: "Hey, Lao Hu, if I remember correctly, you are also the second battalion commander."

"What? You think I want to learn from you and build a small mountain?" The chief of staff shook his head: "I already have a plan for the specific personnel arrangements. They are all written down in the booklet. I am just waiting for your nod as the new regiment leader. "

"Lao Hu, I can rest assured that you are doing your job!" Li Yunlong laughed, then turned to look at the director of the Political Department who had been silent next to him: "Lao Luo, you..."

"Lao Hu and I discussed this matter, and I agreed. If you think it's okay, Lao Li, I will go through the formalities and report it." Director Luo also expressed his position.

"Okay, okay, then this matter is settled. Pay attention to the surrounding disturbances in the past two days. If I find an opportunity, I will personally lead the team to fight the Japanese! Especially to collect information about the 107th Regiment. Old Ding cannot die in vain. , I have to bite him hard when I get the chance!"

As Li Yunlong was talking, the guard's voice came from outside the house: "Report!"

"what's up?"

"The secret agent of the secret service company arrested someone and said he was a consultant from abroad and he knew Captain Ding."
