[Side Quest: Replenishment Completed]

[First Ring Reward: 10,000 XP, 100 Merit]

[Note: The next mission will be opened after 10]

·····

The distance of more than 30 kilometers takes a whole night for mules and horses to reach, and in order to conceal it, the transport team of an independent regiment chooses to go out day and night, so except for the first transport, each other transport takes two times.

After transporting a total of 120 tons of materials on three consecutive trips, Luo Yun clicked on the settlement task.

After the mission was settled, Luo Yun hurriedly left the station of the Independent First Regiment, and then he needed to travel back and forth from the United States within a month and deliver a large number of medicines and other supplies.

For this operation, Luo Yun planned very carefully in his heart.

Ten tons of gold is worth $120 million at present, and now that the clouds of war are looming in Europe, gold is a hard currency at this time, and supplies can be bought at a more convenient price.

At the same time, he inquired that there were direct planes to the United States in Hong Kong, and although planes in this era had to go through many transfers to reach the United States, it only took three times, which was faster than his motorcycle detour through the Bering Strait.

Although the latter process should be quite sour.

In this way, the time spent on the road is only a week, and there is still enough time to purchase supplies.

Now there are more than 200,000 experience points, even if 10,000 tons of materials are enough to put three in the storage warehouse.

With the idea of a good citizen who does not steal or rob fair trade, Luo Yun embarked on the road to the United States.

······

Independent regimental headquarters.

Grand Master Zhang Lianshun and Deputy Head Zhang Nuoyan discussed the affairs of the regiment together, and there was a material table on the table in the conference room, as well as a brand-new Czech style.

"The total amount of supplies aided by the Luo Yun brothers this time is one hundred and twenty tons."

"Among them were two 82-mm mortars and two thousand 82 mortar shells; Ten 60 mortars, 20 thousand rounds of 60 mortar shells"

"500 shell guns, 1 million shell gun bullets, 100 Czech light machine guns, 7.92 Mauser rifle bullets (Czech) 500,000 rounds"

"And 10,000 more M24 grenades"

"Everything else is canned beef"

At this time, Grand Master Zhang was stroking the Czech light machine gun on the table, with a focused and expressionful look in his eyes, and then he looked at his old partner, full of incredulity.

"1.5 million rounds of ammunition, 20,000 shells, that's not counting the warehouses in the regiment"

"Promise, you come and pinch me to see if I'm dreaming"

The head of his own regiment was cheap, and Zhang Promise was naturally not polite, and stretched out his hand fiercely.

"Ah, you're really willing to do it," Grand Master Zhang immediately screamed.

"These materials are still in the warehouse, what should I do, our regiment definitely doesn't need so many supplies," Zhang Promise said.

"This is natural, now our whole regiment has a total of 2 million rounds of bullets alone, a total of more than 200 light and heavy machine guns, 15 mortars, and more than 20,000 shells."

Grand Master Zhang touched the Czech style on the table and continued.

"Two million rounds of ammunition, all the troops of the three main divisions of our Eighth Route Army don't have more bullets than me."

"However, it's time for our regiment to be expanded, I think we should target three battalions and eleven companies, nine infantry companies plus an artillery company and a machine gun company."

Faced with the sudden change in the topic of Master Zhang, Zhang Promise suddenly did not adapt to it.

"Ah, why did this happen all of a sudden, isn't it a long time ago that there will be no large-scale expansion of the army?"

"Eleven companies are close to 2,300 people, and recently many people around Wanping City have enthusiastically joined the army, and the soldiers are enough, but there is too much shortage of grassroots cadres."

"There is a big gap in the cadres at the squad and platoon level in our regiment now, and if the army is expanded to ten companies, you have to give me at least 100 squad leaders and more than 30 platoon commanders, and they all have to be experienced veterans, otherwise the combat effectiveness of the unit will collapse directly."

At this time, Zhang Promise is a real truth.

Although the original 733 Independent Regiment won the title of the main regiment of the independent regiment, and the equipment can be called the most luxurious in the whole army, even with these luxury equipment, its combat effectiveness is far less than that of any main regiment of the Eighth Route Army, and the biggest problem here is the quality of soldiers.

A group of veterans who have crawled out of the pile of dead but are poorly equipped, and a group of recruits who have been trained for less than half a year and have only wandered on the edge of the battlefield, no matter how well equipped the recruits are, the outcome of the mountain battle is most likely to be a complete victory for the veterans.

The 1st Independent Regiment has been established for no more than half a year, and the whole regiment currently has 1,300 combatants, of which only 168 are veterans of the original 733 Company, that is, 1,232 people have joined the army in the 1st Independent Regiment for no more than half a year.

Although half a year is enough time to train qualified recruits, the environment in the first four months of the independent regiment is extremely difficult, and the focus is on the serious shortage of veterans, in order to maintain combat effectiveness in the early stage, he did not break up the old company and merge it into the recruits, so many squad leaders and platoon leaders are directly selected from the recruits, which has caused a serious shortage of recruits' combat skills.

Running from bullets, charging, shooting, fighting bayonets, and teamwork require a lot of training, hands-on instruction from veterans, and many times honing on the real battlefield to master.

At present, the training of the independent regiment, which has experienced several battles, has just been put on the right track, and the combat effectiveness of the unit is steadily and rapidly improving; if there is a large-scale expansion of the army now, the time for the formation of the combat strength of the unit will definitely be delayed by more than three months.

"As long as I have enough veterans, I can increase the pace of army expansion for so long," Grand Master Zhang asked rhetorically.

"Well, if you want to ensure the steady increase in the combat effectiveness of the troops, you still need more than one hundred and seventy veterans, preferably veterans who have passed through the grassland," Zhang Nuoyan counted directly with his fingers.

In fact, his original intention was to interrupt the idea of expanding the army of the regiment commander, one hundred and seventy veterans, which is almost the number of a full company, and it is impossible to release people anywhere.

"Okay, I'll bring you two hundred veterans in half a month, and they're all from the grass, and you're in charge of recruiting recruits and organizing them," Master Zhang Da then said, his tone was even more confident.

", two hundred, where did you get so many veterans, even the brigade commander can't mobilize so many people for you"

"Wait, you won't"

"Shhh

"If you dare to fight the idea of the division headquarters, you are not afraid that the division commander will split you"

Soon, Zhang Nuoyan understood the thoughts of his head of the regiment.

"The supplies allocated by the Luo Yun brothers arrived after twenty, and they were only a lot more than this time."

"So I'm going to bring all the 1 million shell guns and 500 shell guns to the division headquarters, plus 50 Czech, 150,000 Mauser rifle rounds, five mortars, and 10,000 shells."

"Haha, there are so many things, not only will the master not split me, but he will have to invite me to drink, and maybe he will have to send me a commendation order"

Grand Master Zhang smiled very proudly at this time.
