Bright Sword: I took Li Yunlong to work in military industry

Chapter 313 Chu Yunfei: What about the equipment of my battalion?

358th Regiment Headquarters.

Chu Yunfei led a team of Shanxi Suiyuan Army staff to review the battle in which Li Yunlong attacked Ping'an County.

"Commander, the Yoshino Regiment is extremely strong. This time, we took the initiative in the exchange of fire with us. During the long exchange of fire, the Yoshino Regiment did not advance a single step."

Chief of Staff Fang Ligong demonstrated the deployment of the enemy and our side at that time on the map and analyzed the strengths and weaknesses of each side.

"Commander, I'm wondering, has our combat effectiveness increased or has the enemy's combat effectiveness weakened? Moreover, what surprised me the most this time was the company-level unit of the Independent Regiment. Together with the so-called militia, there were only more than 200 people. Facing the entire Yoshino Regiment, the troop ratio reached an astonishing 1:15.

Even with this, they were able to hold off the Yoshino Company, which is simply unbelievable."

Obviously, Fang Ligong was greatly surprised by the performance of the independent regiment.

"Brother Ligong, let me answer your first question first. Look at our regiment's frontline positions and depth configuration. We and the company-level unit of the Eighth Route Army do occupy a relatively advantageous position, looking down from a high position. With the solid permanent firepower points we built before and the previously calibrated shooting parameters, we were able to catch the Japanese off guard.

Besides, the Japanese have marched a long way, which is very exhausting, so we are well-rested and waiting for them to tire themselves out.

Our regiment has recently been equipped with a lot of American equipment, which has greatly enhanced our firepower. We can even engage in an artillery battle of equal scale with the Japanese.

This was unthinkable before.”

After Chu Yunfei finished speaking, he laughed out loud, with a sense of ease and comfort in his heroic spirit.

"Brother Ligong, in this battle, what I felt most deeply was not the improvement of our combat effectiveness, but the small unit of the Eighth Route Army.

It is simply unimaginable that with just one company and their so-called militia, relying on the terrain, they could actually withstand the attack of an entire regiment of the Japanese devils!

Moreover, even though the casualties of this company reached over 50%, they were still able to maintain a tenacious fighting spirit.

Don’t you think it’s scary?”

Obviously, Chu Yunfei's words raised a question that Fang Ligong had never thought about, which made him shocked.

Chu Yunfei continued, "Since returning from the battlefield, I have been thinking about a question. If we withdraw two or even three regiments from our 358th Regiment and equip them with the current weapons of the Independent Regiment, will our team be able to stop the Yoshino Regiment?"

Chu Yunfei did not answer, and Fang Ligong also remained silent. They both knew that it was impossible for the soldiers of the 358th Regiment to do it.

"Brother Ligong, there is one more thing. I wonder if you have noticed it?"

"Commander, what do you say?"

"This time, the firepower of the independent regiment's company-level teams is stronger than that of our 358th Regiment, which was simply impossible before.

The only one who can do all this is Minister Yu Ye!

It can be said that he alone improved the firepower level of the independent regiment.

This is truly a rare talent!"

"From the overall perspective of the war of resistance, it is a blessing for the country and the nation to have such an army. However, as an opponent, they will be very scary!"

Chu Yunfei's expression suddenly became serious.

At this moment, the guard company of the 358th Regiment came to report.

"Report to the commander, the deputy commander of the Eighth Route Army Independent Regiment, Xing Zhiguo, is here to ask for a meeting."

Fang Ligong was stunned, and asked Chu Yunfei beside him: "Commander, what are the Eighth Route Army going to do?"

"We helped them in Heyanggou this time, and it is only natural for them to come and express their gratitude after the war. Go, invite the friendly forces!"

Deputy Regiment Commander Xing Zhiguo led a team of soldiers into the headquarters of the 358th Regiment.

"Hello, Deputy Captain Xing!"

Chu Yunfei was the first to greet.

"Hello, Commander Chu. I am here on behalf of the Eighth Route Army Independent Regiment to express my gratitude to you. We were able to attack the county town thanks to your help."

Chu Yunfei snorted coldly without leaving a trace, and then said: "Go back and tell your Captain Li that we owed him a favor last time, and I will pay it back this time.

We are in love with each other.

But he still owes me something.”

As he said this, Chu Yunfei put his hands behind his back, looking somewhat dissatisfied.

"Captain Chu, I think you are talking about the equipment of that battalion?" Deputy Captain Xing said with a smile.

"Huh? You know what?"

Chu Yunfei looked at Deputy Headman Xing with interest.

"Haha, Captain Chu, not only do I know, but we also brought this batch of equipment to you according to the request of our Minister Yu."

Deputy Captain Xing directly blocked Chu Yunfei's mouth, leaving him speechless.

"What? You actually brought this batch of equipment here?"

"Yes, Captain Chu, it's outside, please take a look."

Deputy Regiment Commander Xing took Chu Yunfei directly to the outside of the 358th Regiment’s base. There were thirty or forty ox carts or horse carts parked at the entrance of the 358th Regiment. These carts were covered with tarpaulin, so it was impossible to see what was inside.

Deputy Regiment Commander Xing walked to the leading carriage, lifted the tarpaulin, and displayed the items he brought to everyone in the 358th Regiment.

They were bundles of Type 38 rifles.

Good guy!

Yu Ye actually returned this batch of weapons.

As the tarpaulin covering the carriage was lifted, it was discovered that it was full of Type 38 rifles, and many of them were brand new.

Chu Yunfei is at a loss as to what to do with this. What the hell is going on?

"Is your independent regiment so wealthy now? Didn't you use old sleeves and Hanyang rifles before? How come you even sent us brand new Type 38 rifles now?"

Chu Yunfei was a little confused.

"Oh, that's right. According to the original plan, we wanted to return the Zhongzheng rifles borrowed from the 358th Regiment, but our Minister Yu didn't want to trouble the brigade, so he directly sent all the captured rifles here.

We didn’t count, but it was definitely more than 2,000.”

Chu Yunfei: “….”

Chu Yunfei felt insulted. After all, the Japanese Type 38 rifle was one of the more sophisticated equipment on the Chinese battlefield. Now it is no longer taken seriously by your independent regiment?

Just throw it to our 358th Regiment like throwing away garbage?

Does that mean I have to beg for food on my knees?

Is this fucking reasonable?

Before Chu Yunfei could say anything, Deputy Head Xing Zhiguo continued, "Head Chu, our Minister Yu asked me to bring you a message."

"you say?"

Chu Yunfei didn't feel very good, but he still frowned and let Xing Zhiguo continue.

"Our Minister Yu said that your Shanxi-Suiyuan Army is a broken ship, and the Central Army is not very good either. I hope you can come to our independent regiment as soon as possible. Only in this way can you realize your ambitions and bring peace to the world."

Chu Yunfei: "......"

Damn, isn't this poaching statement too straightforward?
