"Hey, you kid, why didn't you admit it afterwards? When you came to borrow the small mountain cannon and heavy machine gun a few days ago, why didn't you say this?"

"Now that the war is over, the small mountain cannons and heavy machine guns have been used up, and now you have turned your back and disowned us? I said, Li Yunlong, why are you so picky?"

If a normal person heard this, he would definitely be embarrassed. After all, he agreed in advance and then regretted it after the fight, no matter how you look at it.

They are all unreasonable, but who is Li Yunlong? He is so thick-skinned, how could he be embarrassed?

"Brigadier, aren't I discussing this with you? See if we can discuss it."

As soon as Li Yunlong finished speaking, the brigade commander on the other end of the phone spoke without thinking.

"No! You Li Yunlong can't hide all the good things. You have to know how to share. Look at my entire 386th Brigade, which consists of several regiments."

"Except for your independent regiment, the rest are not equipped with this rifle, and even I have not touched this rifle yet."

"So there is no need to discuss this matter. Send it to the brigade headquarters immediately. Besides, in the entire combat force, you, Li Yunlong, are the only ones who have a good relationship with Factory Director Su."

"Others have never even met Director Su, so you can take advantage of this when you go to deliver supplies to Director Su tomorrow."

"You can go deliver them in person, and maybe you can take this opportunity to ask Factory Director Su how many M1 Garand rifles he wants."

Hearing this, Li Yunlong knew that there was no way to discuss this matter. He had no choice but to nod helplessly.

"Okay then, I will send someone to deliver these things to you, brigade commander, in two days."

"That's more or less the same. As a man, you have to speak your mind and keep your words."

Then, after chatting briefly for a while, they hung up the phone. Not long after hanging up, Kong Jie came to Li Yunlong's room with the battle damage report.

"Old Li, the casualties of the Independent Regiment have been calculated. This time our Independent Regiment lost a total of 130 people and six were slightly injured."

"There are twenty-eight seriously injured people, and the total number of Japs killed is 218. As for the consumption of bullets, that's all."

Having said this, Kong Jie handed Li Yunlong the battle damage report in his hand, which was exactly about the various situations of the independent regiment's battle that he had just counted.

It's just that Li Yunlong couldn't read, so he glanced at it and threw it aside.

Instead, he directly listened to Kong Jie's report. The loss of the Independent Regiment was almost as he imagined.

Regardless of this battle, their independent regiment has much more troops than the Japs, but they are on the offensive side.

So this is a natural disadvantage. The little devils counterattacked under the cover of the iron sheets of the train, causing the independent regiment to suffer a lot of casualties.

If the number of the Japs hadn't been too small this time, the Japs wouldn't have dared to leave the carriage to fight back, and had been hiding in the carriage to fight back.

As a result, the little devil cannot use mortars and grenade launchers. These two weapons must be used in the open space outside the carriage.

Without using these two weapons, the little devil's combat effectiveness is greatly reduced.

............

Not to mention that the number of soldiers in the independent regiment was more than five times that of the Japs. In addition, for this battle, Li Yunlong also borrowed so many heavy weapons from the brigade commander.

Only under such circumstances could the loss be controlled to this point, but when Li Yunlong saw the consumption of the bullets.

Especially when looking at the column for M1 Garand bullets, I couldn't help but feel a little distressed, because it said that 8,600 rounds of bullets had been consumed.

You must know that Su Bei only gave his independent regiment a total of 10,000 rounds of ammunition, and now it has consumed 8,600 rounds, which means that their independent regiment only has 1,400 rounds of ammunition left.

On average, each M1 Garand rifle contains about four or five rounds of ammunition. This quantity is obviously not enough.

At this time, an idea flashed through Li Yunlong's mind, and he immediately looked at Kong Jiedao.

"By the way, Lao Kong, have all the soldiers below picked up the shell casings of the M1 Garand rifle bullets?"

"Old Li, I picked them all up."

"Well, then send the bullet shells and the copper to Director Su tomorrow. Director Su only needs to process them again and turn them into usable bullets."

At this moment, Zhao Gang walked in from outside, looked at the two of them, and immediately said hello.

"Captain Li, Commander Kong, Commander Li, I just finished counting the copper you asked me to count. There is no problem with the quantity."

Hearing this, Li Yunlong nodded: "Well, that's fine. I will personally take some soldiers to deliver these things to Factory Director Su tomorrow."

Then Li Yunlong looked at the sky and said, "It's too late now. Let's talk about anything tomorrow."

"Well, Lao Li, I'll go back first."

"Okay, Captain Li."

After a brief chat, the few of them went back to their rooms to rest after the day's battle.

Both the soldiers below and their regiment commanders and deputy commanders have long been very tired.

So as soon as I lay down on the bed, I fell asleep within a few seconds, and the next day arrived in the blink of an eye.

Li Yunlong got up shortly after dawn, then took some soldiers with them and asked them to take the ten tons of copper and headed towards the location of the arsenal.

By the time Li Yunlong and others arrived at the arsenal, it was already 12 noon. After arriving at the arsenal.

Li Yunlong handed over the ten tons of copper to Wang Ming, the deputy director, along with more than 8,000 bullet casings.

Most things in the arsenal are handled by the deputy director, while Su Bei, the director, is only responsible for the research and development of new weapons.

But even so, Su Bei is unparalleled in the entire arsenal, simply because the workers below are impressed by Su Bei's abilities.

The same was true for Wang Ming, so he offered to take over all the trivial matters in the arsenal. His purpose was not to distract Su Bei from these trivial matters.

In their view, Su Bei's mission was to develop more advanced weapons and equipment for the Eighth Route Army. Trivial matters like this were left to Wang Ming, the deputy director.

In this regard, Su Bei is eager for this. In the eyes of outsiders, Su Bei's development of new weapons requires time, inspiration and concentration.

But Su Bei himself knew very well that the reason why he was able to produce these technical drawings of weapons and equipment was all based on the system.

In other words, Su Bei will not be distracted by these so-called trivial matters, which will ultimately slow down the progress of weapon development.

Here in Northern Jiangsu, such a problem would not arise at all, but he did not intend to tell others about this.

After all, no one wants to be busy all day long, just like now, even though Su Bei is the director of the arsenal.

But there are not many things that need to be dealt with, so I am very free most of the time, and most of the things are shared by Wang Ming.

So when Li Yunlong came to the arsenal, the deputy director Wang Ming was in charge of receiving him. As for Su Bei, he was still in the room.

"Director Wang, please check these things. I have something to do with Director Su."

After handing these things to Wang Ming, Li Yunlong said hello and left directly.
