In a new group headquarters in the Taihang Base, the leader was pacing back and forth at the command center with his brows locked.

After suddenly thinking about something, I quickly walked to the front of the map, drawing and counting at it.

A few minutes later, a helpless expression flashed quickly on his face, then he put down his pencil and continued to pace back and forth in the room with his hands on his back, his brows getting deeper and deeper!

"Captain, the task given to us by the division is too difficult. I roughly estimated that if the troops want to complete all the attack missions, they will have to pay at least half the regiment." The political commissar suddenly spoke.

"Or why don't we go and ask the nearby Commander Zhang to help and borrow their mortar platoon for use! If there is artillery fire support, the price we pay should be reduced by 30%!"

The regiment commander shook his head: "It is precisely because they have a mortar platoon that the division gives them a full twice as many tasks as we do."

"Although the railway lines we are going to break are only more than twenty kilometers, the Japanese and puppet troops stationed are very different. The district knows that our regiment is not equipped with artillery, so we are assigned a slightly easier railway line. The entire section of the railway has only one small stronghold and two artillery towers, and more than one hundred and twenty Japanese and more than two hundred puppet troops are stationed."

"The railway section where Captain Zhang and his friends are going to attack has a medium-sized stronghold, two artillery towers, and there are more than 200 Japanese soldiers and nearly 300 puppet troops. The total strength of the Japanese and puppet troops is twice that of ours, and the Japanese in the strongholds are equipped with three mortars."

"If we lend the mortar platoon to us, their regiment will not be able to beat the Japanese if they are exhausted!"

The political commissar replied helplessly: "Then we can only attack!"

"After a while, I asked the guards to borrow a few more big trucks from their fellow villagers' houses, nailed wooden boards, piled sandbags, covered them with wet quilts, and made a few earthen tanks!"

"Although they can't stop the bullets fired from heavy machine guns and stomp guns at close range, they can help us shorten the assault distance, and then dispatch blasters to approach the artillery tower and blow up the targets to reduce casualties in the army."

The regiment commander could not think of any other way, so he could only nod his head and order: "Do this first! After this battle, I must find a way to get a few mortars and a few heavy machine guns for the troops. It would be better than fighting them for the death of the Japanese gun tower every time I encountered the Japanese gun tower!"

As the political commissar was about to set off, the district correspondent suddenly rushed in with panting: "Report to the chief, the district command has orders for you!"

"Is it because our plan to break the railway line has changed?" the regiment commander asked subconsciously.

The communications soldier shook his head: "The combat plan has not changed. The commander asked you to draw at least two main companies to set off immediately and march to Zhoujiapo to receive a batch of weapons and ammunition!"

"You say it again? What did the commander ask us to do?" The commander thought he had heard it wrong, so he asked again.

"Report to the head, the district commander asked you to draw at least two main forces to march to Zhoujiapo to receive a batch of weapons and ammunition. The troops should set off immediately, the faster the better!"

After the regiment commander confirmed that he had heard it correctly, he immediately turned his head to look at his old partner beside him: "Political Commissar, the commander asked us to send troops to receive a batch of weapons and ammunition, I heard it correctly!"

"If I remember correctly, since we divided the troops, the regiment never received a bullet supplied by the division, and even sent 20,000 bullets and 100 rifles. The heartache at that time was simply undesirable to describe it in words!"

"Did the sun hit the west today? The commander actually gave us weapons and ammunition!"

The political commissar replied very affirmatively: "We heard nothing wrong. The order was to go to Zhoujiapo to receive a batch of weapons and ammunition... Do you care if the sun hits the west side? The attack war is about to begin. We just lack weapons and ammunition. Even if the division only gives us a few thousand bullets, it can help a lot!"

After saying that, he looked at the communicator in front of him and asked, "What are the weapons and ammunition? Is it too much to send two infantry companies at a time?"

The correspondent shook his head: "I don't know what, but I heard that there are many heavy weapons in this batch of weapons and ammunition, and there are also many other weapons and ammunition! If you have troops nearby, it's best to send a battalion!"

"There is a mortar?" The regiment commander's attention was instantly attracted by the correspondent's answer, and asked nervously and excitedly.

"Yes, and there is more than one!" the correspondent nodded!

Mortars have always been his dream heavy weapon, and they even want to get it in their dreams.

I didn't expect this dream to come true so suddenly, and it was the partition he had never thought of for him to realize.

While excited, he made a decisive decision: "Political Commissar, you stayed in the regiment headquarters, and I will personally receive this batch of weapons and ammunition."

"The first and second rows of the baggage company and the guard company followed me, and then took the first battalion after passing by the first battalion's base to ensure that the weapons and ammunition that were given to us were safely brought back."

The regiment commander and his troops had just walked two kilometers away from Zhoujiapo when they encountered the first checkpoint located here by the headquarters.

After passing, I only walked a kilometer forward and encountered the second level. This level was much stricter than the inspection just now. I, the first battalion commander, and several company commanders, personally guarded the level, and confirmed that all the soldiers I brought were fine before I could continue to move forward.

When he entered Zhoujiapo, the regiment commander saw several tents defending by heavy troops. The chief of staff of the command was guarding the door of the tent. When he saw a team coming towards him, he immediately greeted him and joked: "Captain Tang, you have been waiting for you. I just thought you had made a fortune in the base area and could not see the weapons and ammunition issued by the district?"

"Hello, Chief!" Commander Tang quickly saluted and replied with a look of embarrassment: "You are joking. The group is so poor that they can't even eat. Even if the district allocates 100 bullets to me, I will send someone to collect them like a treasure!"

"This is not a weapon and ammunition that has never been transferred by the partition before. I suddenly heard that the partition was going to allocate a batch of weapons and ammunition to support us. I felt a little unbelievable, so I asked the correspondent a few more questions and then it was late!"

"Chief, I heard from the correspondent that there was a mortar in the tone that the district allocated us this time. Is it true? Don't let me be happy in vain!"

The Chief of Staff pointed to the tent behind him, which was already in disguise and replied: "Did you see the four tents behind me? To be honest, the tents are full of weapons and ammunition."

"Five days ago, the division headquarters asked us to draw a main team to perform a secret mission. As a result, the main team brought back the weapons in the tent when they came back. We asked the team leader where the weapons and ammunition came from. He actually replied that our division headquarters asked him to keep it secret and no one could disclose it."

"We sent a telegram to the division headquarters, and the division headquarters also told us not to ask too much, just use it. As a result, these weapons and ammunition will be divided into our division!"

"So many!" Looking at the four tents guarded by heavy troops not far away, the regiment commander couldn't help but exclaim.

Then he stared at the Chief of Staff with his eyes wide open and asked anxiously: "Chief, you are very clear about the situation of our regiment. Until now, half of the soldiers are fighting with cold weapons. Although they are equipped with more than 400 rifles, there are only more than 300 that can be used, and the rifles of the remaining hundred rifles have been smoothed. Unless the enemy rushed to thirty or forty meters, those guns are just decorations. After firing at the enemy, they are so accurate that they don't even know where the bullets fly!"

"Since the division has obtained so many weapons and equipment at once, can our regiment get more equipment, even if it's a few more rifles?"

The Chief of Staff quickly waved his hand: "Old Tang, don't even think about it. There are several troops with more difficult divisions than you. You have given all weapons and ammunition. What should the other troops do? It's impossible for you to eat meat and drink the northwest wind!"

"Don't worry, the specific amount of weapons and ammunition to be distributed to you will have been determined long ago!"

The Chief of Staff said as he took out a list: "Your regiment can bring back three hundred rifles, ten light machine guns, two heavy machine guns, two mortars, two thousand grenades, forty thousand stepper machine gun bullets, five thousand three thousand heavy machine gun bullets, two hundred mortar shells, and two hundred landmines."

"You are the leader of the regiment, and you must know the equipment status of the regiment. I can provide 38 large covers, 79 caliber rifles, machine guns also have crooked handles and Czech-made ones to choose from, bullets are also supporting fees, and the total number of weapons and ammunition is only so much. Do you need 38 large covers or Hanyang? You can choose by yourself based on the equipment status of the regiment and try to unify the equipment caliber in the regiment, so that the troops can replenish ammunition more easily!"

Commander Tang knew that he had not come in vain when he saw the tent behind the Chief of Staff.

Although the Chief of Staff refused to give him more weapons and ammunition, as long as the four tents are filled with weapons and ammunition, even if the partitions are distributed evenly, the weapons and ammunition in his hands are not much less!

The result was the same as his guess, even beyond his expectations.

The divisional operation is a reinforced battalion equipment. With these weapons, even if the entire regiment still cannot handle a rifle, a few grenades will definitely be assigned.

More importantly, with this batch of equipment and ammunition, the regiment can finally form its own mortar platoon and heavy machine gun platoon.

In the next raid battle, you don’t have to fight to the death when facing the Japanese artillery tower.

Although the number is a little smaller, it has finally made a good start.

Moreover, the regiment commander believed that they would become seeds in the regiment and helped the regiment train more gunners and heavy machine gunners.

After thinking for a moment, I made a decision: "Chief, I want two hundred 38 major bulbs and one hundred bulbs made in Hanyang!"

"There are more than 80 large 38 covers in the regiment. I plan to gather them together and all other troops are equipped with 79 caliber rifles."

"The crooked gang requires six straights, the Czech Republic requires four straights, and the six-fifth caliber bullets and seven-nine-caliber bullets each cost 20,000 rounds."

"But I hope the division can support me two gunners as my artillery platoon leader and deputy platoon leader!"

The Chief of Staff immediately replied: "The district has long thought that you don't have qualified gunners. Before I came, I brought a total of eight gunners. You can pick two of them away in a while!"

"By the way, there are many grenade launchers and grenades in the middle of this batch of weapons and ammunition. If someone in your regiment will use this, I will give you another six grenade launchers, thirty grenades, and one hundred grenades that can be fired with grenade launchers and supporting launchers!"

"Yes, of course!" The group leader was afraid that the cooked duck would fly, so he was anxious to answer.

When fighting the Japanese, two grenade launchers were seized. For the Eighth Route Army, which lacked heavy weapons, they must not be idle. The regiment commander formed a grenade launcher squad the next day and dispatched soldiers who had seen Japanese grenade launchers to explore them.

After more than a month of hard work, they finally knew how to use the grenade launcher, but their accuracy was a little bit short of it.

For the regiment commander, as long as he can fire grenades and grenades, he can explode in places where there are many Japanese and puppet soldiers in the past, and even if a blind cat hits a rat, he can kill a few.

If the division supports its own six grenade launchers and two mortars, its artillery platoon will be worthy of its name!
