"Impossible!" After hearing this, Li Yunlong loudly refused, shaking his head like a rattle, and cursed unceremoniously.
"You idiot, you took advantage of me!"
"We have known each other for such a long time, have you ever seen me, Li Yunlong, make a loss-making business?"
"My 38-year-old Gai is not something Hanyang made can be exchanged for. Unless you bring over a light machine gun made in the Czech Republic, don't even think about it!"
"Why are you anxious?" Kong Jie was not anxious at all.
He has a gun in his hand and does not panic when encountering trouble. This is his confidence.
If he didn't get a gun from Li Yunlong, he could still go to other troops.
There will definitely be people who will be jealous of the 25,000 rounds of ammunition that come with Hanyang.
Facing Li Yunlong's dissatisfied look, he said confidently: "If I dare to join a new group today, I will be sure to bring back the two hundred and fifty thirty-eight pieces!"
"Tell me, what conditions do you need to agree to this exchange..."
"Don't talk about those unrealistic things. The independent group's light machine guns are not enough for themselves. They will definitely not take them out to replace them. Don't even think about it!"
Li Yunlong's face quickly flashed a smile of success: "I heard that the independent regiment's military work team seized a large amount of ammunition behind enemy lines, and the new regiment is short of ammunition!"
"A Hanyang-made gun with two hundred rounds of ammunition...I will agree to trade guns with you!"
Kong Jie knew as soon as he heard that Li Yunlong was trying to kill the big family, so he refused without hesitation!
"You're a little too much, kid!"
"Two hundred rounds of ammunition is not a small amount. It's no problem to replace it with a rifle that is 20 to 30 percent new. It's too much!"
Li Yunlong smiled sarcastically: "Then let's drop fifty rounds. A Hanyang-made bullet with one hundred and fifty rounds will be no problem!"
"It's still too much!" Kong Jie continued to object.
"The Hanyang-made ones I brought are at least 60% new. I'm sure you won't give me the best 38-meter lid in the new batch. It's good if the quality can meet the Hanyang-made standards I brought!"
"A Hanyang-made weapon will give you 50 rounds of ammunition, a total of 12,500 rounds of ammunition. Just nod if it works!"
"No... absolutely not..." Li Yunlong shook his head firmly.
"Fifty rounds of ammunition are too few, not enough for me to fight two battles!"
"At least a hundred rounds... not even one less!"
"Deal!" Kong Jie looked happy and agreed decisively.
This scene was completely beyond Li Yunlong's expectation.
He was ready to continue bargaining with Kong Jie, but instead of continuing, he just nodded in agreement...
The countermeasures he had prepared were useless.
I secretly regretted it in my heart, feeling that I had retreated too hard just now. Maybe Kong Jie would be able to agree to a rifle that requires ten or twenty more bullets.
But there is no regret medicine in the world, just spit and nails.
A gun with a hundred bullets is what I said, and no matter how regretful I am, I have to fulfill my promise.
Kong Jie seemed to see through Li Yunlong's regret and did not give him a chance to speak at all, and continued: "You go and prepare the 38-year-old cover now!"
"I have brought 250 Hanyang-made weapons and 25,000 rounds of ammunition. We can exchange them if you prepare the weapons!"
"Why are you so anxious? You haven't told me yet how to get my soldiers to willingly replace the Sanba Gai in their hands?" Li Yunlong didn't forget the answer Kong Jie owed him, and asked quickly for fear that he would run away after getting the weapon.
Kong Jie smiled and asked, "Isn't the answer already out?"
"I exchanged the Hanyang-made products with you for the San Ba Da Gai. You didn't agree with it at first. Why did you agree now?"
"Pa..." Li Yunlong slapped his thigh fiercely.
"I understand, the reason why the soldiers don't want to change their guns is because the 38 guns are better than those made in Hanyang. If I add dozens of bullets to the Hanyang guns, the soldiers will definitely be willing!"
"When not fighting, each soldier of the independent regiment only has five bullets. If the regiment headquarters is willing to exchange a Hanyang-made bullet of the same quality for fifty rounds of bullets, for the sake of the bullets, most soldiers will agree!"
"No, a Hanyang-made bullet with thirty rounds of ammunition should be enough!"
"Old Li is indeed a profiteer!" Kong Jie was so choked by Li Yunlong's words that he almost lost his temper and couldn't help but laugh and curse.
"I gave you a hundred rounds of ammunition for each gun, but you only fired thirty rounds, making seventy rounds for nothing!"
"This is simply a business without capital. It makes me regret giving you a hundred bullets!"
"I regret it now, it's too late!" Li Yunlong said proudly.
"I'm going to prepare the 38 dumplings now. It happened that the armed workers team sent back a batch of pork from the enemy-occupied area. I asked the cooking team to stew it all. The whole team will have an extra meal at noon today. I will also take advantage of you and give you a toothpaste... …”
At the 386th Brigade Headquarters, Kong Jie heard the brigade commander ask as soon as he entered the door: "I heard that you exchanged a batch of rifles with Li Yunlong and gave him 25,000 rounds of ammunition as a matching gift?"
Kong Jie nodded and reported: "I was about to report this to you, but I didn't expect you already knew about it!"
"I wanted to exchange the Hanyang-made 38-gauge cap for the 38-gauge cap, because the performance of the Hanyang-made cap was not as good as the 38-gauge cap. Li Yunlong disagreed. He didn't agree until I was willing to put a hundred rounds of bullets in each rifle!"
"With these 38 big guns, the one and two battalions of the independent regiment, the guard company and the reconnaissance company directly under the regiment have all been replaced with Japanese equipment."
"Among the equipment of the third battalion are official rifles and Czech-made light machine guns!"
"It not only facilitates management, but also unifies the ammunition supply of each battalion."
"On the future battlefield, whatever weapons and ammunition we capture can be immediately sent to the corresponding troops, and they can be replenished while fighting..."
The brigade commander is very aware of the benefits of unified equipment for the troops. However, the conditions of the Eighth Route Army are too poor. The weapons and ammunition they are equipped with are too many types and are too messy. It is like a hodgepodge. It cannot even unify the weapons and equipment of a regiment, let alone unify them. The whole trip!
Unexpectedly, Kong Jie, who usually remained calm, once again walked to the front of the brigade and unknowingly unified the equipment of the independent regiment.
Looking at him, he said happily: "I thought you fell into Li Yunlong's trap again and lost more than 20,000 bullets in vain!"
"Since you are not at a disadvantage, then tell me about the specific situation of the independent regiment after unified equipment!"
"The benefits you get from the enemy-occupied areas should be the most among the several regiments. I used to be particularly worried about the independent regiments not having enough equipment, but now I don't worry about it anymore. I still have some small expectations..."
"Tell me more details and let me and the Chief of Staff learn a lot!"
"Yes, brigade commander!" Kong Jie reported quickly, his expression becoming particularly serious.
"After reorganization, the independent regiment has three main battalions, a guard company, a reconnaissance company, a baggage company, a machine gun platoon, and a communications squad..."
"The first and second battalions, the guard company, and the reconnaissance company are all equipped with 65-caliber weapons. The third battalion and the baggage company are equipped with 79-caliber weapons."
"The gun platoon is equipped with two mortars and two heavy machine guns!"
"The main battalion has three main companies, a guard platoon, a grenade platoon, and a reconnaissance squad. The grenade platoon is equipped with four grenade launchers!"
"The main company has three main platoons, a guard squad and a fire squad. The fire squad is equipped with two light machine guns!"
"The whole regiment is equipped with 800 38-guns, 350 medium-sized rifles, 21 light machine guns, 13 grenade launchers, two heavy machine guns, and two mortars..."
