Comrade, Your Ingredients Are Too Complicated

Chapter 103 Preparation before war

Kong Jie saw that the brigade commander's face was not very good, and his first reaction was that the other party thought he was bloodless. In order to prevent his superiors from misunderstanding, he quickly expressed his thoughts.

"See if you can support our regiment with more than a dozen submachine guns. After they are used up, I will send them back to you intact."

“Those things have strong firepower and are very suitable for close combat. Even if something unexpected happens during the operation, with them, the bandits in Heiyun Village can be caught off guard.”

“Although suppressing bandits is very important, we still need to preserve our strength for the next stage of the war. The soldiers of the Independent Regiment are my heart and soul.”

 Since the last battle with the Yamamoto Special Agents, Kong Jie has fallen in love with melee weapons such as submachine guns.

Although their regiment relied on its terrain advantage to annihilate all the enemies, there would definitely be a lot of casualties if the opponent closed the distance.

If nothing unexpected happened during this mission, most of the time was spent in street fighting with bandits. If there can be a commando team equipped with submachine guns, it will definitely play a decisive role.

In the past, Kong Jie's request would have been difficult to handle, but now the 129th Division's inventory of submachine guns is quite sufficient.

In addition to the original Jin-made Thomson and Qingdao-made MP18s from the division, now there is a wave of MP38s imported from Santoku. Although the styles are a bit mixed, Huanghe provides plenty of bullets.

 In this case, the guard battalion at the brigade headquarters was also allocated fifty.

 If there are ready-made weapons, the brigade commander will naturally not refuse them. After telling Kong Jie to minimize casualties, he wrote a note.

Only five minutes passed, but the brigade commander's complexion became even worse, and there was a faint cold sweat on his forehead.

 When he was arrested carelessly in the early years, although his life was not in danger in the early stage, he was even served with good food and drink. But in the end, the spies used electrocution to extract a confession, and some of the root causes of his illness were found.

 In recent times, the brigade commander and the staff have stayed up late in order to formulate combat plans and deploy troops.

 This made his already problematic heart even more uncomfortable.

“You kid, go away, I’m going to rest. Remember to report in time after the mission is over.”

"Remember this time! You are not allowed to lead the team yourself! And your political commissar! Keep an eye on me! Young people are easily impulsive!"

“I’m only thirty-eight years old, and my health is getting worse and worse. I’ll have to ask Huanghe if I can get some special medicine some other time.”

 When Kong Jie saw the brigade commander's appearance, he immediately wanted to help him. But the other party just waved his hand, indicating that he should go ahead and do what he should do.

 With the brigade commander's approval note, Kong Jie immediately set off for the weapons warehouse at the brigade headquarters. Although it was very late now, the place was still heavily guarded.

 After getting the weapons, he took several soldiers from the brigade transport team and rode their horses back to Yangcun where the independent regiment was stationed.

Since it is getting late now, except for the patrolling soldiers in the defense area, the remaining people in the regiment have basically gone to bed.

 After Kong Jie settled the soldiers who came back with him, he returned to the command room. He took out the roster of soldiers and began to study the candidates for this mission.

 Although after the Yamamoto special agent team was wiped out, the headquarters organization has been transferred. But their independent regiment is still responsible for the **** mission, but now it is on the outermost edge.

If too many troops are deployed to attack Heiyun Village, no one will be able to bear the responsibility if the Japanese attack at night. After repeated consideration, Kong Jie decided to send a reinforced company composed mainly of veterans with a very small number of recruits.

Coupled with the commando team of their regiment, judging from this firepower configuration and personnel quality, the task of suppressing bandits is already a certainty.

 At dawn the next day, Kong Jie called his political commissar to the command post at the regiment headquarters. After a short discussion between the two chief officials, the list was officially determined.

 After seeing the guard taking the list to count people, Li Wenjie looked embarrassed and asked tentatively:

“Captain, the commander who will lead the team has not yet been determined. Are you going to go there in person, or do you have someone else to choose from.”

"If you haven't made a decision yet, I would like to recommend myself. When I was studying in the rear area, my military ability was not weaker than anyone at the same time."

Hearing this, Kong Jie immediately remembered the brigade commander’s instructions to him yesterday, and after sighing that the other party’s materials were so good, he replied:

"It's not that I don't believe you. Although Heiyun Village is indeed very powerful, you are definitely overqualified for your job. Our political cadres are already scarce. What should I do if you are injured?"

“The commander of the operation is the commando captain, who is also a company commander. Moreover, this person is very senior and has always been a backup candidate for the battalion commander in the regiment. Don’t worry!”

“As for your work, I have a suggestion. Many bandits will definitely be escorted back in two days. We need to prepare for the public trial as soon as possible, and we need to trouble you to make a few trips to mobilize the people nearby.”

This reason is very reasonable. The work of contacting the people is basically the responsibility of the political commissar. Although he could not personally lead the team to participate in the battle, Li Wenjie had no complaints.

 Then the two of them went to an open space outside Yang Village, where there were two hundred people waiting for them.

 Of course there must be targeted training before a war.

Since this is the first time to cooperate with Gao Jianwu, and the code on the letter only indicates the time, there is no detailed information.

Until now, Kong Jie didn’t know what was going on inside Heiyun Village. He decided to launch an attack out of trust in his comrades.

Based on experience, he guessed that the other party was the bandit who had taken care of the gatekeeper. But even so, it means that the soldiers will probably need to climb the wall to enter Heiyun Village.

 So Kong Jie took everyone to the cliff chosen by the Yamamoto special agent team some time ago. Although it is much higher than the mountain gate of Heiyun Village, it can be used for training.

Of the equipment captured at that time, the independent regiment only kept a few grenadiers, and the rest were handed over to the headquarters. The hooks used by the soldiers now were customized by Kong Jie who sent people to a nearby county and spent a lot of money to find a blacksmith.

 In order to make training more effective, comrades need to be fully armed during practice.

 Because this mission is a raid, it is destined not to carry a large number of weapons. In addition to the commandos, the soldiers each have a MAS-36. In terms of fire support, it can only rely on three light machine guns, grenade launchers, and grenades.

 Commando soldiers are no strangers to the use of submachine guns. These weapons will show powerful lethality in their hands.

Looking at the people who were practicing continuously, Kong Jie's whole body exuded a faint murderous aura. He took a sip from his pipe and said to himself:

“Xie Baoqing, Xie Baoqing, your head will be taken by our independent group.”

I’ll finish it today
