"Hijack this little devil's train, and we won't be short of raw materials for making bullets in a short time."
Upon hearing this, the chief also understood the importance of this matter. Two million rounds of bullets, if the Eighth Route Army could produce that many bullets independently.
That was of great significance to the entire Eighth Route Army, but the leader was worried that he still didn't know the strength of the little Japanese.
Ever since, the chief asked again.
"Comrade Xiao Su, do you have an approximate figure as to how many little devils are in this train?"
"Reporting to the chief, according to the information I have received, there is at most one squadron of little Japs in this train."
"So our Eighth Route Army only needs to send out a regiment and then ambush the train on its only way. We can easily hijack the train."
"A squadron? Is the news confirmed?"
To be honest, when the commander heard about this troop strength, his first reaction was that he didn't believe it. Just kidding, how many little devils are there in a squadron?
There are only about two hundred people, and two hundred people are used to transport ten tons of copper? I'm afraid there's something wrong with the kid's brain to do this.
If this train really contains ten tons of copper, then it is impossible for the little devil not to know the importance of this train.
Unless the little devil is crazy, it is impossible to send only one squadron of troops to escort such important supplies.
If that's not the case, there should be at least one brigade or at least one alliance. But this squadron really makes the commander a little bit unbelievable.
In fact, it was not just the chief, but also Su Bei. He didn't know if the kid had a brain twitch. A squadron of kid went to transport ten tons of copper.
It also includes various other materials and so on. It can only be said that there is a hint of weirdness everywhere, if it weren't for the fact that this is the information provided by the system.
Su Bei would definitely not believe it, so in response to the chief's inquiry, Su Bei could only answer truthfully.
"Yes, chief, the information I got is this."
There was silence on the other end of the phone for a few more minutes. If it hadn't been for Su Bei's repeated assurances, the chief would never have believed it.
However, in the chief's view, since Su Bei came back from abroad, he had stayed abroad for several years, and he had been engaged in patriotic movements abroad.
Maybe there are some connections abroad that they don't know about, and it's probably these people who told Su Bei this information.
After thinking for a while, the leader on the other end of the phone continued to ask.
"Well, regarding the train that is going to attack the Japs, I wonder if you have anyone on your side, Xiao Su."
"Reporting to the chief, I think the independent regiment of the 386th Brigade is very good."
"Oh? 386th Brigade Independent Regiment? Xiao Su, do you know this unit too? Tell me what you think."
Obviously, the commander was very surprised when he heard about this unit from Su Bei. After all, he had just removed the leader of the independent regiment yesterday.
Let Li Yunlong take the lead. Today, Su Bei proposed to let the independent regiment complete this task, and Su Bei would be the director of the arsenal.
Under normal circumstances, he rarely interacts with the front-line troops, so how can the chief not be curious?
.............
Although the commander valued Su Bei very much, it was impossible to hand over the task of attacking the Japanese train to Li Yunlong's independent regiment just because of Su Bei's words.
This mission is different from the past. If it is true as Su Bei said, there are ten tons of copper in this train.
Then its importance is self-evident, and the Independent Regiment has just experienced a defeat, and its morale has a big problem.
If this mission fails again, it will affect not just an independent regiment, but the entire Eighth Route Army.
Therefore, the leader prefers those main groups. This main group is stronger than Li Yunlong's independent group in terms of numbers and weapons and equipment.
He was the best person to complete this ambush mission, but Su Bei directly mentioned the independent regiment this time, which made the leader want to know what Su Bei was thinking.
Regarding this, Su Bei simply organized his thoughts and then explained them one by one.
"Chief, I heard about the 386th Brigade Independent Regiment from Deputy Factory Director Wang yesterday. As for why the independent regiment is required to complete this task."
"In my opinion, there are three factors. The first one is that the Japs don't have many troops this time. They only have one squadron, so the independent regiment is completely able to deal with it."
"Secondly, the second point is that because the independent regiment has just been attacked by a small Japanese, its morale is currently low, and it is likely to cause problems in the long run."
"At this time, if the Independent Regiment can win a battle, then the morale of the Independent Regiment can be raised. I believe you don't want to see the Independent Regiment collapse like this, right?"
"The last third point is that after communicating with Li Yunlong last time, I feel that Li Yunlong is a talent and is very suitable to me."
"At the same time, as you said, chief, there are many tricks to fight a war, so overall, it is good to leave this task to the independent group."
"I believe that after this battle, the Independent Regiment will cheer up and get up from wherever it fell. It is simply killing three birds with one stone."
Su Bei's words made the chief's eyes light up, and he spoke with some surprise.
"Comrade Xiao Su, I originally thought you were just a technical talent, but I didn't expect that you also have your own unique insights in fighting."
"Your analysis is very good and it surprises me. In that case, as you said, Xiao Su, this time the task will be handed over to Li Yunlong's independent group."
Su Bei said modestly: "Hahahaha, the chief is so complimentary, so I won't bother you, chief."
"Well, I'm just waiting to hear your good news."
In fact, from the chief's perspective, when he saw that Su Bei and Li Yunlong were getting along well, the chief was very happy.
Not for anything else, just because these two people are talents that the chief loves very much, and one is in war.
The other is technical talents in weapons. If these two people don't get along well, the chief will have a headache.
Fortunately, things did not develop in this direction, just like that, after getting the chief's reply.
Now the only thing left is Li Yunlong. Su Bei believes that Li Yunlong will definitely not give up this opportunity.
Just as the chief was about to hang up the phone, he suddenly thought of something and continued to speak.
"By the way, Xiao Su, there is something I forgot to tell you. During this period, I transferred ten more machine tools to your arsenal from other places."
"And a lot of raw materials you need. The amount of raw materials this time is almost several times that of last time. There are still some machine tools on the road that have not been delivered."
"I was going to say that I would send someone to deliver it to you in two days, but today I just happened to talk about this matter, so I will send someone to deliver it to you later."
