Chapter 258: Preparing to Return

The troops marched to the vicinity of the regimental headquarters of the 276th Regiment, and finally saw the battalion heavy machine gun company waiting here, and the pack horses and drivers of the whole company had been waiting here.

Dozens of mules and horses were driven by the drivers in a chaotic and orderly manner, and the people and horses of the preparation battalion team, He Kun led a platoon that cleaned the battlefield yesterday, and carried the equipment obtained from cleaning the battlefield onto the mules and horses, more than one-third of the mules and horses, and now they are carrying trophies, and heavy machine guns and ammunition do not account for much.

The preparation battalion was in full swing to carry things, and a group of people came in front, also carrying carts and things, and the leader was the spy platoon commander that Zhang Wei saw at the headquarters of the 276th Regiment.

"Battalion commander, it seems that the friendly troops are here to deliver something." Zheng Yiqun said.

Led by the leader of the spy platoon that Zhang Wei had seen, behind him was a group of soldiers and horse-drawn carts, the carts were loaded with a lot of things, wrapped in defensive military canvas, Zhang Wei walked towards the spy platoon commander, and the spy platoon commander said with a smile on his face: "Chief Zhang, hard work." ”

"It's not hard, what are you doing here, brother?" Zhang Wei asked.

"Sir, you and your brothers are fighting in our regiment, you can't fight in vain, so many brothers have been killed and wounded, and our regimental commander asked us to send something over."

"Come on, open it!"

The escort soldiers ripped off the tarpaulin on the horse-drawn cart, and on the two carts, the first was full of green ammunition boxes, and the other was full of provisions, all kinds of vegetables, and a few rare pork, and the special agent platoon commander approached the cart, opened the locks on several ammunition boxes, and lifted them up, there were bullets, grenades, and two boxes of bayonets neatly stacked.

"Sir, your troops cooperated with us in the battle and suffered a lot of losses, you are the old brother of the original teaching corps, our commander specially asked me to bring some supplies to replenish, there are eight boxes of seven or nine bullets, five boxes of grenades, and boxes of rifles and bayonets, and the car behind is food, and the brothers fought bloodily all night to replenish their physical strength."

"Thank you! It is our duty to fight against the Japanese invaders. ”

Zhang Wei politely said, did not say a word of refusal, he was not stupid enough not to send anything to the door, Zhang Wei casually took out a bayonet box, the whole box was stacked with thirty bayonets, all of them were sheathed, fixed together one by one with iron buckles, and the two boxes were full of sixty bayonets, which could meet the needs of a rifleman of multiple companies.

I have to say that the commander of the 276th Regiment is very good at being a man, even if he sends ammunition, he also sent bayonets, he must have known that the preparation battalion and the Japanese army fought with bayonets, so he sent a box of bayonets to replenish it, he is very good at being a man, and he is very careful.

The bayonet that Zhang Wei took out was of the highest grade at first glance, and it was taken out of the bayonet sleeve, the whole knife had not yet been opened, the handle of the bayonet was made of metal, finely polished, the scabbard skin was hung with a handle buckle, and the scabbard was also made of metal, the blood groove was shiny, and it was silver in the sun after polishing.

Zhang Wei has fought a lot of large and small battles since joining the army, and has seen a lot of bayonets, including the German M1924 bayonet, the domestically produced Chinese formal short bayonet and the Hanyang-style long bayonet imitating the Japanese bayonet, the Czech-made VZ bayonet and the Japanese 30-year-old bayonet.

Among them, the best German and Czech-made bayonets are sharp and of good quality, followed by Japanese knives, and the worst quality is domestic bayonets, which are prone to curling and splitting over time.

The knife in Zhang Wei's hand is not as bad as the German and Czech bayonets that Zhang Wei used, and it is not a level compared with the domestic bayonets.

"This knife is a good knife!" Zhang Wei exclaimed.

"That is, these knives are Belgian goods, our division has supplemented a batch of Belgian guns, and these knives have also followed, which are much easier to call than Zhongzheng's knives, with a good steel mouth, and they don't like to roll blades, so they can be used on Zhongzheng guns, but they can't be made in Hanyang."

The bayonet is a cold weapon, not as large as a gun, and it is not as conspicuous as a gun, but this thing is not easy to make.

A qualified bayonet, the first is the manufacture of the bayonet blade, to ensure quality and strength, and in addition to the manufacture of the blade, there must be the manufacture of small parts such as the handle, spring, bayonet shoot and scabbard, bayonet fixed lock.

The arsenal needs to combine these bits and pieces of small things with bayonets and rifles, the manufacture of bayonets does not require the bottom of the process, a good bayonet, the price is not much worse than a rifle, the arsenal of the national army, the manufacture of firearms cannot keep up with the needs of the field troops, and the production gap of bayonets is greater than that of firearms.

Most units of the national army lacked bayonets, and most of the rifles possessed by a unit were not equipped with the same number of bayonets, and the troops that could be fully distributed and guaranteed the supply of bayonets were definitely the main force of the Central Army, or the main force of the local army with strong support.

Among the things sent, the value of these thirty bayonets was comparable to all the bullets and grenades in the rest.

The preparation battalion fought fiercely for a day yesterday, and the loss of weapons and ammunition was not small, and he was also relieved to take this batch of things, so he didn't say anything more, and directly accepted them.

"Okay, thank you for me, the head of your regiment, we received this batch of things!"

"Well, brothers, help the friendly brethren move things down!"

The subordinates of the special service platoon commander untied the ropes and canvases on the carriage, and moved the boxes of ammunition on the horse-drawn cart one by one.

Bean sprouts, dry food, and a few pork fans are full of waterproof canvas, the 46th Division is adapted from the teaching corps, and it is really elite, and the supply standard is good, although it is not as good as Zhang Wei's kung fu in the teaching corps, and it is worse than the 200th Division, but now this food configuration is superior in the national army.

The people of the 276th regiment handed over the things to Zhang Wei, and the special agent platoon commander said goodbye to Zhang Wei and led his men back.

As soon as the pack horses of the heavy machine gun company were loaded with trophies, a new job came, and Zhang Wei asked He Kun to pull the received supplies to the pack horses.

After a while, He Kun came to Zhang Wei again, too many things are not a good thing, and new problems have appeared.

"Battalion commander, there are too many things, not enough mules and horses!" The pack horses of the heavy machine gun company have to carry the guns and ammunition of the heavy machine gun company, as well as the booty collected in previous battles, and now with the newly received weapons and ammunition and vegetable materials, the pack horses are not enough, and the newly received weapons and ammunition can barely be carried, and those vegetable and vegetable materials and pork are powerless.

Zhang Wei thought about it, anyway, these things and materials will be sent sooner or later, so they can be sent directly to the troops now, and it can also reduce the horsepower of the pack horses.

"Then go and divide the pork, and those that are eaten, into three equal parts, and distribute them to the cooking squad of the three companies, as well as bullets and grenades, and distribute them to the companies to replenish, and the two boxes of bayonets are carried by horses first."
