"It supported our independent regiment with 300 M1 Garand rifles. At that time, the total output of M1 Garand rifles in the entire arsenal was only 400 pieces."
"If it weren't for these rifles supported by Factory Director Su, our independent regiment would have suffered even greater losses when we ambush the Japs' train last time."
"That's why Director Su is very kind to our independent group. Since Director Su needs this kind of material, we must do our best to get it."
Kong Jie on the side suddenly lost his temper when he heard these words. He also knew very well that Su Bei's help to their independent group was indeed quite great.
If it weren't for Northern Jiangsu, their independent regiment might not even have solved the morale problem now, let alone fight such a beautiful turnaround.
Although they only killed more than 200 little Japs in that battle, in terms of numbers, there was nothing outstanding about them.
But the most important thing about that battle was to steal the ten tons of copper from the little devil, not how many little devils were to be killed, if it weren't for the ten tons of copper.
Today's arsenals have long been unable to produce bullets, which is why this battle is said to be a beautiful turnaround for the Independent Regiment.
Simply because the ten tons of copper robbed by the Independent Regiment were of great significance to the entire Eighth Route Army.
At this moment, Zhao Gang suddenly spoke.
"Old Li, I seem to have an impression of the materials on this. To be precise, we saw these materials in the little devil's warehouse when we sneaked into the little devil's Lian'an County last time."
"And the quantity is quite large. If we can find a way to get this batch of materials, we will not only be able to complete the tasks assigned by the chief, but also exceed the expectations."
Hearing what Zhao Gang said, Li Yunlong instantly remembered that he had taken Zhao Gang to Lian'an County where the little devil lived a week ago.
That time was also to complete the task assigned by the leader. At the beginning, several of them explored Lian'an County for a long time, but no trace of those materials was found.
When I thought I was going to return empty-handed, I didn't expect that through a puppet soldier, I learned that a warehouse of the Little Japs contained the materials they needed.
Finally, after some planning, we finally managed to get this batch of materials without any danger and sent someone to deliver them to the chief.
Because of this, the chief praised Li Yunlong specifically, not for anything else but because Li Yunlong was the fastest to complete the task.
And there are quite a few in terms of numbers. Unlike other troops, they did not complete the tasks assigned by their leaders in the end.
After all, not everyone is as bold as Li Yunlong, and not every army is so lucky to be able to find out about these materials.
This kind of thing depends on luck. Obviously, luck is on Li Yunlong's side, so he got the batch of raw materials without any danger.
............
So when Zhao Gang said this, Li Yunlong was instantly impressed, but impressions are impressions. If he wanted to sneak into Lian'an County again, it might be a little difficult.
"Old Zhao, after what we did last time, the little devil's Lian'an County will definitely strengthen its vigilance. This time, I want to sneak in and take out those materials like last time."
"It won't be that easy. Maybe we will be easily trapped in Lian'an County. Something is not right. If I had known that the chief and the others would need this batch of materials."
"The last time we took action, we should have brought all those things out."
The problem before them now is that the location of the thing is already known, it is in Lian'an County of the little devil, but how to get it.
This has become a difficulty. They just entered Lian'an County a few days ago and turned it upside down, and now they are here.
The little devils are still under martial law throughout the city. It is obvious that under such circumstances, they will not enter Lian'an County again like last time.
At this time, a thought flashed through Li Yunlong's mind, and he immediately looked at Zhao Gang solemnly.
"Old Zhao, are you sure there are materials like this in the Little Devil's Warehouse in Lian'an County?"
"Old Li, I'm very sure, and the quantity is quite large, at least three times the quantity required by the chief."
Zhao Gang replied with a serious face. He was sure of this. When he left last time, he took a special look at other things in the warehouse.
Therefore, Zhao Gang was deeply impressed by these materials. After hearing this, Li Yunlong also nodded.
"In that case, let's get this batch of materials."
"Get it? How to get it? Sneak into Lian'an County like last time? I'm afraid this won't work."
Upon hearing this, Li Yunlong glanced at Zhao Gang and then continued.
"Who said they would go in like last time? Now that we have determined that there is a large amount of this kind of material in the little devil's warehouse in Lian'an County, let's go straight to it."
"When we went in above, I got a rough idea. There are not many little devils in Lian'an County, only more than 500."
"Then there are still 600 puppet troops, totaling almost 1,100 people, and no more than 1,200 people at most. We only need to pay attention to the little Japs."
"Those puppet troops are not worth mentioning at all, so I feel that since sneaking into Lian'an County in secret is not possible, then we should directly attack Lian'an County with force."
"Hit him down? I'm a good boy, Lao Li, do you know what you are talking about? Are you still awake?"
Li Yunlong's words really frightened Kong Jie. Good guy, how could they, a mere independent regiment, defeat the Japs in a county?
If you want to attack a village or a stronghold, that's possible, but attacking a county? This is not something they can accomplish as a group.
At this time, Zhao Gang on the side was also frightened by Li Yunlong's idea, and he quickly spoke.
"Yes, Lao Li, how many troops does our independent regiment have? There are only more than a thousand people. In terms of military strength, it is equivalent to the defenders of Lian'an County."
"Generally speaking, as the attacker wants to capture the county where the Japs are located, our military strength is at least four to five times that of the county defenders."
"To put it simply, we need at least 5,000 troops to attack the county town, but now our independent regiment does not even have 1,500 troops."
"With such a force, it is obviously impossible to attack the county seat of the Japs. If we are not careful, our entire independent regiment may get involved."
