Bright Sword: Leading the Special Operations Squadron to Fight the Japs

Chapter 189 New Group 1 and New Group 2 Change Outfits

Ding Wei and Kong Jie immediately issued a military order, threatening that if the semi-automatic rifles did not work in their hands, they would twist off their heads and use them as targets.

"Okay, then I'll have the transport battalion deliver the weapons and equipment to you?"

"No, I don't feel comfortable with someone else transporting the vehicle. I will escort the vehicle myself after the meeting!"

The two urged Li Yunlong to "speak quickly if you have something to say, and fart quickly if you have to."

Li Yunlong did not hesitate. The New 1st Regiment was responsible for monitoring the Japanese in Linfen, while the New 2nd Regiment moved to the west of Yuncheng to monitor Jincheng.

"Old Ding, you have the most important task. There are a large number of Japanese soldiers in Linfen, and they will definitely not miss the opportunity to attack the independent column. The independent column is now in your hands!"

Ding Wei pondered over Li Yunlong's words and always felt that something was not right, but he didn't care.

"Okay, I'll leave your ass to Ding Wei!"

"Old Kong, you must stay alert. When the battle is at its most intense, you will be like a sword that strikes with surprise and stabs the Japanese directly, cutting off their retreat!"

According to Li Yunlong's idea, both the New 1st Regiment and the New 2nd Regiment should maintain a covert march and attack the Japanese unexpectedly.

"Okay, now radio stations are distributed to the battalion level, just let me know if there's anything. If not, I'll go back and distribute the equipment!"

"That's it, let's go!"

Ding Wei and Kong Jie couldn't wait to say goodbye to Li Yunlong, and happily led the convoy to their respective bases.

In order to ensure the safety of weapons and equipment, Li Yunlong specially asked Wei Heshang to each send a company of soldiers to escort Ding Wei and Kong Jie.

Kong Jie was sitting on the leading armored vehicle and touching things around.

Want to ask where the conductor is going?

This is just like ten soldiers squeezed in the back fight, suffering greatly.

"Hey, your armored vehicle is pretty fast, isn't it? Last time we attacked Fenglingdu, you got there in one night!"

"Not bad, hehe!"

"How's the firepower? I see there are two machine guns on it, it should be pretty good!"

"Captain Kong, that's mounted on an armored vehicle and can't be removed!"

"Look at your ugly appearance, can I dismantle your machine gun?"

Kong Jie curled his lips and continued to play with the armored vehicle.

"This stuff is great! When will our new regiment be able to upgrade its weapons to so many good stuff? Li Yunlong is really making a fortune!"

Just when Kong Jie was thinking about how to get these "big toys", the convoy had already arrived at the base.

Like the New Second Regiment, the New First Regiment did not set up its headquarters in the county town. Instead, in order not to disturb the residents, it guarded the periphery of the county town.

Fang Zhiwei, the commander of the New Second Regiment, recognized the armored vehicles of the Independent Column and brought his troops over to investigate.

"Independent Column? What do you want to do with our New Second Regiment?"

Kong Jie's head popped out at this time.

"Captain, why are you in there? Is this armored vehicle ours?"

Kong Jie jumped off the armored vehicle reluctantly and patted the iron gate.

"Not yet, but sooner or later! Hurry up and get all the battalions to bring people over to move the equipment!"

Fang Zhiwei looked at the mysterious Kong Jie and was a little confused. Why was Captain Kong acting so mysterious after visiting the Independent Column?

"Captain, what weapons and equipment?"

"What kind of weapons and equipment? Go and see for yourself. If you're not shocked and your jaw drops, then my last name is not Kong!"

Fang Zhiwei scratched his head, got on the truck and uncovered the canvas.

Looking at the piles of wooden boxes with the words "Semi-automatic rifles - made in Jinnan Military Industrial Base" clearly printed on them.

"Oh my god! These are all semi-automatic rifles? Comrade, can I open a box?"

The soldier of the independent column took a crowbar and handed it to Fang Zhiwei.

"Deputy Captain Fang, this is the equipment of your new Second Regiment. Open it at will."

Fang Zhiwei was no longer polite and pried open the wooden box.

Sure enough, they were all brand new semi-automatic rifles, exactly the same as the guns he had used for target practice in the "Regimental Officer Training Class".

"Okay, okay! Our Captain Kong is still honorable. This trip was not in vain!"

Fang Zhiwei ran up to Kong Jie happily and gave him a thumbs up with full of satisfaction.

"Hehe, Commander, you are awesome. By the way, should I notify the spearhead companies of each battalion to come and collect their equipment?"

Kong Jie stamped his feet, put his hands behind his back, and suddenly became a bit rich.

"You are so petty! Notify all troops in the regiment to change their equipment! Replace all the rifles with semi-automatic rifles!"

"All? How many rifles are there!"

"Everyone! As long as they are in our New Second Regiment, even the soldiers in the kitchen squad, give me one! A total of 4,000!"

Fang Zhiwei took a breath of cold air, he was indeed very wealthy.

In less than an hour, the battalion commanders came running over with their mules, horses and carts.

When they heard that there were equipments to be collected, these battalion commanders who killed Japanese without blinking an eye acted like bargaining businessmen.

"Captain, this is the latest roster of our first battalion. There are about a hundred more people than last time. Will these new recruits also be issued guns?"

"Same with the Second Battalion."

Kong Jie didn't wait for the third battalion commander to speak and hurriedly nipped this momentum in the bud.

"What do you mean new or old? Now you're telling me that there are new recruits? Didn't you always ask the headquarters for new recruits before? And you said you couldn't recruit any?"

Several battalion commanders looked at Kong Jie with a grin, knowing what was going on.

"Everyone will be issued guns according to the list reported last time. No one can take more than they deserve! Besides, if you fight well and kill a lot of Japanese, are you afraid of not having guns in the future?"

The battalion commanders knew Kong Jie's character. Since the old man didn't say anything, there was no need to argue with him.

Before leaving, Kong Jie repeatedly reminded them to start training as soon as possible, and at the same time to move secretly towards the west of Yuncheng and closely monitor the Japanese in Jincheng.

In addition, Kong Jie also instructed the battalion commanders to use the replaced guns and ammunition in various bases to organize local armed forces and strive to develop a local supplementary battalion from one battalion.

Although there was no sign of the reinforcement battalion in this place, he already had the feeling of commanding seven or eight thousand troops.

"Yes! Commander, with weapons and equipment, there are many young people who want to fight the Japanese devils, right?"

With the assurances from these battalion commanders, Kong Jie began to study the enemy and our own situation with peace of mind.

At this time, Ding Wei distributed weapons and equipment like distributing dumplings during the Chinese New Year, and he also stood in front of the map.

"This war is not easy to fight! In the past, we didn't have so much property, so the bottles and jars were broken. But now it's different. We all have families and businesses, so we are restricted!"

Li Yunlong's worries are the same as Ding Wei's. It is difficult to start a business, and it is even more difficult to maintain it! In the past, those who were barefoot were not afraid of wearing shoes. Now, Li Yunlong is the one who wears shoes.

We just had a few days of good life and the Japanese are here to cause trouble again. It seems that we haven’t hurt them enough!

"Commander, Chief of Staff Wang asked me to inform you to go to the military fortress to take a look at the new weapons."
