This made the already poor arsenal even worse. Currently, there were only three to four thousand rounds of ammunition left in the arsenal.
On the other hand, there are still 1,700 M1 Garand rifles. On average, an M1 Garand rifle has less than three bullets.
So Su Bei planned to wait until production increased and send them all to the chief, otherwise he would only have the M1 Garand rifle.
But without bullets, the M1 Garand rifle is like a fire stick. Under such circumstances, Li Yunlong's independent regiment is equipped with 300 M1 Garand rifles.
And ten thousand rounds of ammunition are very conspicuous, otherwise, the brigade commander would not be so greedy.
Similarly, the brigade commander knew clearly that he had his own ideas on this matter, which was to take this opportunity to borrow a batch of heavy weapons for Li Yunlong's independent regiment.
After all, Li Yunlong's mission is not trivial. If he fails, it will also affect him as the brigade commander.
So taking this opportunity, the brigade commander planned to reinforce the independent regiment with some heavy weapons. There was no other way, but the weapons and equipment of the independent regiment below.
The brigade commander knew very well that if he added some reinforcements, the weapons and equipment in the hands of the independent regiment would be enough.
It is still difficult to hijack a Japs train. Of course, the brigade commander will definitely not give Li Yunlong reinforcements with heavy weapons for free.
Although they were just borrowing, those shells would be gone after they were fired, so the brigade commander became interested in the M1 Garand rifle Li Yunlong had.
"You kid, why are you so picky? It's not for nothing. How about this? Aren't your independent group going to rob the kid's train?"
"I remember that your independent regiment has very few heavy weapons. In this case, I can lend you some heavy weapons to ambush the little devil's train."
"You must also know very well in your heart that this mission is of great importance and how important it is to our entire Eighth Route Army, so we can only succeed and not fail."
This condition given by the brigade commander made Li Yunlong very excited. Speaking of it, he agreed to Su Bei to take over this mission at the beginning.
Li Yunlong thought about this. After all, the current independent regiment has some problems with morale, and its weapons and equipment are not very good.
There are only three heavy machine guns, only twelve light machine guns, as for the small mountain cannon, there is only one, and then there are rifles.
Many of them are made by old sleeves and Hanyang, but now Northern Jiangsu has supported the Independent Regiment with these 300 M1 Garand rifles, which can be regarded as taking the combat effectiveness of the Independent Regiment to a higher level.
At the very least, the old slides and those made in Hanyang can be replaced with the M1 Garand rifle, but even so.
The independent regiment is still very short of heavy weapons. For a battle like ambushing the Japanese train, you must have enough heavy weapons.
Otherwise, the result will be difficult to say, because the reinforcements of the little Japanese must also be taken into account, which means that Li Yunlong's independent regiment must end the battle in the shortest possible time.
At this time, Li Yunlong was eyeing the heavy weapons on the brigade commander's side. Although the independent regiment did not have them, the brigade commander did.
It's just that it's a bit difficult to borrow heavy weapons from the brigade commander. Li Yunlong was worried about how to speak two days ago.
............
Unexpectedly, the brigade commander himself came to the door. In this case, Li Yunlong would not be polite.
"Okay, I need to borrow fifteen small mountain cannons, twenty heavy machine guns, and some shells and bullets from you, brigade commander. What do you think, brigade commander?"
When the brigade commander heard this, he said, "Good guy, Li Yunlong has a bigger appetite than himself."
"Hey, you kid, you want so many things right away? Do you still want to rob me in return? Impossible, at most seven small mountain cannons and ten heavy machine guns."
"No, no, brigade commander, think about it, if this battle was fought beautifully, wouldn't your brigade commander's face also be bright?"
"So to be on the safe side, we will lend our independent group some more heavy weapons, twelve small mountain cannons and seventeen heavy machine guns."
"Too many, up to eight small mountain cannons and twelve heavy machine guns."
Ever since, the two sides started a tug-of-war, and finally settled on ten small mountain cannons and fifteen heavy machine guns.
From this point of view, Li Yunlong needs to send two hundred M1 Garand rifles to the brigade headquarters after this battle.
Li Yunlong did make a profit. Although the brigade commander suffered a little loss, he was still very happy. Only Li Yunlong could borrow so many weapons and equipment from the brigade commander.
But it would be almost impossible for any other regiment leader to borrow as many weapons and equipment as Li Yunlong.
In this way, a few days passed in a blink of an eye, and the day of action soon came. According to intelligence, it was learned.
The little devil's train passed through Caixucun at about one o'clock in the afternoon, but Li Yunlong wanted to be on the safe side.
He set off with his troops early in the morning and set up an ambush in advance. When he set out, Li Yunlong was preparing to appoint the new political commissar of the independent regiment.
It was Zhao Gang who arranged to look after the house here, but Zhao Gang directly asked to go to the front line and follow Li Yunlong in action.
In the end, there was nothing he could do. During the operation, Li Yunlong also specifically warned Zhao Gang's guards.
"When the battle starts, you must keep an eye on Political Commissar Zhao. He is a top student who has just graduated. He has never been on the battlefield. Don't let anything happen to Political Commissar Zhao."
"Yes! Captain."
This so-called guard was none other than Wei Dayong, also known as Monk Wei, whom Zhao Gang had rescued on the way.
The monk was Zhao Gang's bodyguard, but as time passed, Li Yunlong realized that the monk was a talent.
So he turned him into his own guard. After arranging everything, Li Yunlong took the entire independent group out.
This time, three battalions were brought along, a total of 1,200 people, except for some wounded and support personnel.
The rest of the soldiers all participated in this operation, and it can be said that they were mobilized in full force.
At this time, on the other side, in the arsenal, under Su Bei's instructions, all ten machine tools sent by the chief a few days ago were in operation.
With these ten machine tools, the output of the arsenal has been greatly increased again. The current output of M1 Garand rifles.
It has reached a scale of producing 370 tubes a day. In addition, Su Bei was even more shocked.
The output of this bullet was originally predicted by Su Bei based on the batch of raw materials sent by the chief a few days ago.
