"Not bad, not bad, counting the weapons and equipment of the captured devils, it is just forty tons."

"Thank you for your hard work."

"When you go back, train your troops well and prepare them for battle."

"In the next battle, I plan to let your thirty-eighth regiment take the lead, don't drop the chain when the time comes."

On the way back from the brigade headquarters,

Recalling the brigade commander's last words, Wu Cheng, the commander of the 38th Regiment, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

Got it.

The brigade commander must know!

He intercepted a batch of weapons and ammunition.

"Commander, why don't we turn it in."

The commander of the second battalion of the 38th Regiment couldn't help but say:

"Or, turn over some of it?"

"Isn't there too much of what we're going to do?"

The number of weapons and ammunition left by Regiment Commander Li was actually much more than forty tons, but the regiment commander ordered that three 60 mortars, six hundred shells, six grenadiers, and six hundred grenadier grenades were left behind.

Too much.

Too much!

"It's fine."

Wu Cheng forced his composure.

Everyone has been living hard for a long time, and they are used to hiding their own hands.

Even if the main regiments have supplies allocated by their superiors before the battle, the ammunition is not enough at all, so on weekdays, they will collect it from the people, knock on the devil puppet army, etc., and accumulate ammunition by themselves.

Or, improve your meal.

Among them, Li Yunlong, the kid, is the most skilled and has the most tricks.

The brigade headquarters did not care about this little bit of trouble, and the regiments did not report it uniformly, but kept it for themselves, and it was because of these that there was a matter of exchanging weapons and ammunition for officers and cadres in the troops.

It will be reported to the brigade headquarters only when it is time to prepare for battle, or when the brigade headquarters takes the initiative to count the weapons and ammunition of each regiment.

The last words of the brigade commander must have been known.

Otherwise, I wouldn't have asked.

And it acquiesced.

Otherwise, when he leaves, he will tell him that the next time he fights, let the 38th Regiment take the lead.

Although this is the truth, there are too many weapons and ammunition intercepted this time.

Three 60 mortars, 600 shells, six grenadiers, 600 grenadier grenades, and some German-made grenades, not to mention the number of them, are all powerful guys.

Wu Cheng is inevitably weak-hearted.

In fact, he was ready to ask the brigade commander to explain a large part of it.

But unexpectedly, the brigade commander didn't say that to him at all: You kid didn't have a private collection, right?

actually let him go back directly.

"No, what are the labors panicking?"

"This is Li Yunlong's remuneration for labor and management, I sent troops to cover the independent regiment to return to Yang Village, and help Li Yunlong transport weapons and ammunition to the brigade headquarters, and it is not captured, according to the regulations, it is no problem if you don't report it."

"It's a big deal, the next time the brigade headquarters counts the weapons and ammunition of each regiment, it will be reported."

Wu Cheng comforted himself.

Forty tons were given to the brigade headquarters, and Li Yunlong personally told him, and he did transport forty tons of weapons and ammunition to the brigade headquarters.

···

"Good fellows."

"So much!"

That night, late at night.

The deputy boss took the guard platoon and rushed to the brigade headquarters.

Seeing the batch of weapons and ammunition that were still left in the courtyard of the brigade headquarters, I couldn't help but be stunned.

Although the firepower was fierce during the battle of Xingzigou, because the devils were too densely formed, the process could be called devastating, and the Hejin squadron counterattacked several times, but it was only a dying struggle.

No threat.

So much so that the battle ended in just over an hour.

The mortar shells that consumed the most were only about one-third of the total amount, and there were more than 5,400 left, including the 600 left by Wu Cheng, and there were 4,800.

This amount can almost be said to be an astronomical amount for the Eighth Route Army.

The grenadier grenade consumed only a little two thousand three hundred rounds.

Counting the 600 rounds intercepted by Wu Cheng, there are still 5,200 rounds left, which is also a large number for the troops.

As for the bullets, the cumulative consumption is only about 100,000 rounds.

This is also due to the fact that there are more than fifty Czech-type, hundreds of shell guns and a large number of automatic firearms, and the constant high firepower in battle, and one of the factors is the retaliatory attrition of these veterans who suddenly let go under the constraints of long-term shooting discipline.

And Grand Master Li actually applied for 1,000 rounds per capita, for a total of 600,000 rounds.

The balance is 500,000 rounds.

"500,000 rounds."

Seeing the number of bullets, the boss had a complicated tone.

Back then, for the sake of these 500,000 rounds of ammunition, he led tens of thousands of people to help Yan Laoxi for several months.

Now··

A few artillery crews were replaced.

Is it depreciating too fast?

"Then I'll take them all."

The boss waved his hand, and did not leave a single one for the brigade commander.

"Hey, boss, even if it's a robbery, you have to leave a way to live, you can't take it all."

The brigade commander immediately jumped up.

Although he is the boss, how much do you have to resist?

···

Meanwhile.

"What about the casualties?"

Li Yunlong, who returned to Yang Village, began to count casualties.

After the battle, in fact, the casualty figure came out, and five were sacrificed, one of which was sacrificed when he and Monk Wei were chasing the devil's sharp knife troops, and four were sacrificed in the battle of Xingzigou.

The seriously wounded were also five.

There is no detailed count of the minor wounded, but it is probably about ten.

Due to the lack of medical resources, the division of the troops into mild and serious wounded will seriously affect the continuation of the battle, such as being shot in the leg, unable to move, being shot in the hand, and only one hand being able to move, etc., are classified as serious injuries.

It takes a period of rest to heal, and it may even leave a disabling injury.

So there is also a first-class classification, the critically wounded.

Minor injuries refer to injuries that do not affect combat for the time being, or slightly affect combat effectiveness, but require treatment, otherwise they will worsen.

A total of twenty casualties were killed.

Of these, five were sacrificed.

Kill two hundred and twenty-one devils.

Thanks to ample firepower, pre-prepared positions, and the carelessness of the devils, the use of dense formations, Xingzigou ambush battle, the ratio of enemy to enemy casualties was forty to one, and the casualty ratio was ten to one.

"Five were killed, five were seriously wounded, and thirteen warriors were lightly wounded."

Zhang Dabiao replied.

"Are there any critically injured people?"

Li Yunlong continued to ask.

According to the contract,

In the cooperation with Brother Lu, the critically injured have the opportunity to be sent to him for treatment and training.

This is also the main reason why he asked about the casualties again.

Due to the limited level of medical care at the headquarters, many critically injured people during the battle would not be sent to the headquarters hospital.

"Nope."

Zhang Dabiao's tone was excited:

"This time, we have a lot of firepower, and the little devils were quickly killed by us, so we didn't seriously hurt them."

"Hey, hey, hey..."

Li Yunlong smiled proudly.

This battle, because of the more fierce firepower, there were grenadiers, there were mortars, and the battle process was even easier than the previous raid on the Liaoxian prisoner of war camp.

So the casualties are much smaller.

After Zhang Dabiao left, Li Yunlong took out a list of materials that could be exchanged and said to himself:

"It seems that the independent regiment has to strengthen its battlefield rescue capabilities."

Brother Lu's medical technology is the top of the world.

Wang Chengzhu and Huzi can be saved.

However, according to the contract, there seems to be some restrictions, Brother Lu can't save people on the battlefield, he must have the ability to bring back the seriously wounded and hand them over to Brother Lu.

After thinking about it for a long time, Li Yunlong chose a material from the list that he had been blushing for a long time.

A field emergency medical kit.

It contains a package of sulfonamides, 10 rolls of sterile gauze, 10 pieces of defatted and sterile cotton, a bottle of 500 ml of iodophor, a bottle of 500 ml of glucose sodium chloride injection, and a disposable simple debridement device.

Although this first-aid kit has no actual medicine except sulfonamides, it can solve the most serious problems in the army's field first aid - the lack of even the most basic medical supplies, the lack of debridement and disinfection drugs, and even the need to reuse gauze, resulting in a large number of wounded repeated infections.

With this first aid kit, the infections of the fighters can be greatly reduced.

The Hejin squadron was completely annihilated, there were three new supplies, and after choosing a first-aid kit, Li Yunlong did not hesitate to choose the ordinary military mules and horses in the list.

Ordinary military mules and horses:

Specially selected three-year-old mules and horses weighing 320 kilograms, healthy and disease-free ordinary breeds of mules and horses, after a certain degree of military training, can adapt to the battlefield environment, and are easy to serve.

It can be used for twenty years.

The mountain trail below the altitude of 3,000 meters can carry 50 kg of cargo, the mountain road can carry 65 kg of cargo, and the flat road can carry 85 kg of cargo. The mountain horse trail can tow 350 kilograms, and the flat road can tow 450 kilograms.

Under standard load, it can last 40 kilometers per day.

Looking at the data of ordinary military mules and horses in the list of materials, Li Yunlong drooled.

Don't look at the ambush of the Devil Hejin squadron in Xingzigou this time, the military horses and mules of the independent regiment all carried fifty kilograms of goods, but in fact, he led the first and second battalions on the road and mountain horse road.

The ordinary mules and horses in Brother Lu's list can carry 65 to 85 kilograms on this route, an increase of about half.

And it can continue to travel 40 kilometers a day, which means that it can carry 65 kilograms of cargo every day, and it can walk 40 kilometers every day without trimming.

The transport capacity and endurance are far superior to the existing mules and horses of the Independent Regiment.

If the independent regiment had been the same mules and horses in the ambush battle at Xingzigou, then the first battalion, the second battalion, and the artillery company would have arrived three hours earlier and had collected ten tons of more supplies.

The last material, Li Yunlong thought about it, hesitated for a while, and then chose a submachine gun.

The Mauser pistol cartridge, that is, the barge shell cartridge, was used, with a folding stock, a magazine of thirty-five rounds, an empty gun weighing 3.3 kilograms, and a magazine with thirty-five rounds weighing 3.9 kilograms, with an effective firing range of two hundred meters.

In the battle of Xingzigou, the barge guns were already somewhat unable to keep up with the needs of the independent regiment.

Although with the addition of a wooden butt, Brother Lu's 20-round barge gun can have a maximum effective range of 150 meters, but due to the length of the barrel, this distance requires a good hand to hit accurately, and the accuracy is not as good as that of a submachine gun.

And a distance of one hundred and fifty meters is not enough.

So Li Yunlong chose a submachine gun.

As for replacing the 38 big cover with the Mauser 98K and realizing the unification of the bullets of the whole regiment, I will talk about it in the future.

It's not that the 38 big cover can't be used.
