Since the garrison regiment does not plan to expand its troops on a large scale, these weapons will definitely not be used, especially those seven-nine-caliber rifles and Czech-style ones!

The standard weapons of the garrison regiment are all 38 large covers and modified 96-type machine guns, which use five or six caliber bullets!

Rashly equipping the troops with those 79-caliber weapons will not only fail to increase combat effectiveness, but will also cause tremendous pressure on the logistics system of the garrison regiment!

So those weapons will never be able to equip the garrison!

Even local troops and partisans don't need it!

Because there are still more than 4,000 38 big covers in Luo Yun's statistical list, which is enough for all the newly expanded local troops and guerrillas in the base area!

Since he didn't need it, and it was too wasteful to pile up rust in the warehouse, an idea immediately popped up in Li Hao's mind: hand it in.

Not all units of the Eighth Route Army were as well-equipped as the garrison regiments.

If I remember correctly, the main force of the Eighth Route Army has grown to more than 400,000 people at this time in history, but at least one-third of the soldiers do not have guns!

Each person has a big knife or spear, and two grenades made according to the soil, and they go straight to the battlefield!

In front of well-equipped devils, the Eighth Route Army with this level of equipment is obviously at a loss, and it will be killed without even having a chance to meet the devils!

It is impossible for Li Hao to put more weapons in the warehouse to rust, and then watch the other soldiers of the Eighth Route Army go to the battlefield to die because they have no weapons!

He quickly made a decision in his heart, stared at Luo Yun and asked, "How many bullets are there in the seventy-nine caliber rifle machine gun?" ”

Luo Yun glanced at the list in his hand and replied: "There are not many boxes and boxes, only two hundred and twenty boxes, a total of 330,000 rounds of 79 caliber bullets!" ”

"I asked the reason, most of the puppet troops killed by the army are new recruits, and they have only started training, and they have not yet formed combat effectiveness!"

"So the Japanese didn't give them much ammunition!"

"But each puppet soldier still has a lot of training bullets on them!"

"In addition, the average number of bullets issued for self-protection during the battle can be as average as 50 rounds per person, and these bullets are packed in their respective bullet belts, and the troops send them together with the bullet belts, there are more than 12,300 bullet belts in total, which are full of bullets, and the specific number has not been counted, but it must have exceeded 600,000 rounds."

Li Hao thought for a moment and replied: "Plus the boxes of 330,000 rounds, almost a million rounds of ammunition, it's enough!" ”

Then he shifted his gaze to Wang Hong next to him: "Political commissar, I have an idea!" ”

"The reason why we were able to win this counteroffensive was because the help of the headquarters was crucial!"

"Without the headquarters to buy us a month, we may not even have a chance to counterattack, and we will be driven back to the mountains by the devils at that time!"

"So I want to give the headquarters a return gift to show my gratitude!"

"We can't use weapons and ammunition of seven or nine calibers, but other Eighth Route Army troops are useful!"

"How about we hand them all over to HQ!"

Wang Hong replied without thinking: "I agree." ”

"With so much equipment, we definitely won't need it."

"Not only rifles and light machine guns, heavy machine guns, grenadiers, and mortars, should be sent, so that other Eighth Route Army troops can get equipment and go to the battlefield, and there is no need to be equipped with heavy weapons!"

Report ......

He Wenlin, who was in charge of intelligence gathering, suddenly appeared at the door of the tent, looking very anxious!

After walking in, he glanced at the dozen or so documents that were busy in the tent, and his face showed an expression of wanting to speak and stopping!

Li Hao reacted quickly: "Political commissar, chief of staff, deputy head Luo, let's go out first!" ”

After confirming that there was no one around, He Wenlin spoke: "Regiment leader, political commissar, the little devil has changed!" ”

"The devils on the boundary between the base area and the devil occupation area began to move as soon as dawn, all the small and medium-sized strongholds were abandoned, and the defenders were concentrated in the nearby large strongholds!"

"Now on the entire blockade line, there are only five strongholds left and garrisons, each of which has at least 1,500 Japanese puppet troops, and has also strengthened a lot of mountain artillery, infantry artillery, and mortars!"

"By the way, there are quite a few transport vehicles and chariots that have entered the stronghold!"

"After confirmation, each stronghold is reinforced with three combat vehicles, more than a dozen vehicles!"

Li Hao was the first to react, and replied in a deep voice: "The devil is scared of us." ”

"Knowing that the troops are too scattered, even if there are strongholds to defend, they will be in the mouth of a tiger in front of our attacking troops, and then we will gather the troops, relying on a few large strongholds, separating the base area from the area they occupy!"

Hong Linfeng was not angry but happy, and immediately said: "Commander, I think this is an opportunity!" ”

"Aren't we going to turn the devil-occupied area into a guerrilla zone, now the opportunity has come!"

"Five strongholds have blocked nearly 100 kilometers of defense line, and there must be loopholes everywhere!"

"Our troops are just taking advantage of these loopholes and turning the devil-occupied areas upside down."

Li Hao shook his head and replied, "It's not that simple. ”

"The devil shrank the defensive line, concentrated his forces to five large strongholds, and in addition to defending to the death, he also made preparations to attack at any time, both offensive and defensive!"

Wang Hong looked serious: "I agree with the judgment of the head of the regiment!" ”

"The chariots, cars, and cavalry that the devils have strengthened these strongholds are definitely not for defense!"

"A dozen vehicles can transport a reinforced squadron, plus three armored vehicles and a certain number of cavalry, that is, a mixed mobile force, which can reach every place within a radius of twenty kilometers in half an hour!"

"On the battlefield, even if one of our reinforcement companies meets them, we won't be able to take advantage!"

"What's more, the devils on the entire blockade line have formed a full five mobile troops, as long as one of the mobile forces encounters us and drags us down, the other devils will pounce like hungry wolves, surround us, and then kill us."

Hong Linfeng's face changed, this question was something he hadn't thought of, and then he wrinkled his brows and fell into deep thought.

Li Hao's face became more and more solemn, and he replied in a deep voice: "This is just one of the questions. ”

"The devils gave up the small and medium-sized strongholds on the blockade line, which doesn't mean that there are no devils there!"

"They've been operating in this occupied area for at least two years, and they're all over the place, with secret agents, traitors, intelligence agents."

"They are all the eyes of devils, as long as our attacking troops move and enter the areas they occupy, these people will stare us to death, report our every move to the devils, and then the devils can dispatch troops and kill us."

"This situation is even worse than the situation we faced when we first entered Laiyuan and Guangling counties!"

"At that time, the devils were concentrated in the county seat, as long as the troops were sent to keep an eye on them and not let them come out, those traitor spies who stayed outside the city, we could fight as much as we wanted."

"Not now, there are eight large strongholds in the base area and the blockade line, and there are still a lot of them in the devil-occupied area, and we can't keep an eye on them at all."

"This means that when we enter the devil-occupied area to fight, we must not only guard against traitor spies, but also guard against the little devils who may be killed at any time, and we can't guard against it."
