Chapter 177 The Proud Brigade Commander
at dusk.
Gundam woke up from the recliner in a daze, he opened his eyes and looked up at the sky.
At this time, the sun was about to set, and the sunset shining on the clouds was particularly beautiful.
I slept all afternoon today, it was so nice.
Gundam stood up from the recliner and stretched himself.
"Gululu."
His stomach started to growl. He hadn't eaten for most of the day and his stomach began to protest.
After running from the headquarters to the cafeteria to eat, Gundam returned to the yard feeling satisfied.
As soon as he walked into the yard, he saw Li Dakang sitting in the yard.
"Minister Dakang, have you eaten?"
"Commander, I've already finished my meal."
Gaoda sat opposite Li Dakang with a small stool.
"Dakang, you came to see me this evening. Is there something good?"
Li Dakang nodded slightly.
"Captain, the arsenal just called and said they have completed the production of the weapons and equipment you specifically requested, ......."
After hearing this, Gundam gave instructions to Li Dakang.
"Dakang, go and arrange for someone to bring back the weapons and ammunition tomorrow. I will arrange for someone to deliver these weapons to the brigade commander this afternoon. These are the German weapons I promised to give to his two regiments."
"Yes, Commander. I'll arrange for someone to go and fetch it tomorrow morning."
After Li Dakang left the command center, Gaoda walked into the command center, picked up the phone on the desk and called the Ping An Brigade Command Center.
After the call is connected.
"Old Kong, arrange for a battalion of soldiers to come to Lijiazhuang tomorrow morning. I can use them."
Kong Jie replied: "Yes, Commander."
................
The next day.
In the early morning, Li Dakang arranged for the soldiers of the logistics department to go to the arsenal and transport the weapons and equipment to Lijiazhuang.
A battalion of soldiers sent by Kong Jie also arrived at Lijiazhuang early in the morning.
Gundam asked the monk to be the person in charge of the escort and bring the special forces battalion with him.
It takes most of the day to reach the 386th Brigade’s base from Lijiazhuang.
The transport team sets out at 9 a.m. and will not arrive until around p.m.
Fortunately, there were no Japanese strongholds along the way, so they could start from the main road.
After sending the transport team off, Gundam came to the communications room.
"Communicator, send a telegram to the 386th Brigade now. The weapons and equipment of the two regiments are on the way. Please be ready to receive them."
"Yes, Commander."
The communicator immediately sent a telegram to the 386th Brigade.
at the same time.
The communications room of the 386th Brigade Headquarters received a telegram from the independent column.
The communicator immediately ran to the command center to report to the brigade commander.
"Report to the brigade commander, the independent column called."
Upon hearing this, the brigade commander hurriedly said.
"Read quickly."
"Brigade Commander, the weapons and equipment of the two regiments sent by the independent column have already been dispatched. We must be prepared to receive them."
The brigade commander laughed and said, "Hahaha, Gundam is really quick. I didn't expect the equipment to be in place so quickly."
The brigade commander felt extremely happy when he thought that there would be two regiments equipped with German equipment next.
Now my 386th Brigade is in full swing.
Apart from the independent column in the entire Eighth Route Army, his 386th Brigade will become the strongest main force.
No, this matter needs to be kept low-key and not too publicized, otherwise other brother troops will become jealous.
The chief of staff at the side said excitedly: "Brigade Commander, this time the independent column gave us two regiments of German equipment. We are now rich,..."
The brigade commander made a hushing gesture.
He whispered, "Chief of Staff, this matter should not be made public. If other brother troops knew about it, there would be a commotion. We have to keep quiet and make a fortune."
The chief of staff came to his senses and nodded quickly.
"Yes, yes, you are right, Brigade Commander. This matter should not be made public."
The brigade commander instructed the chief of staff.
"Chief of Staff, arrange for someone to secretly move all the weapons and equipment that have been delivered to the warehouse this afternoon, and distribute the equipment to each unit tomorrow."
"Yes, Brigadier."
Around 3:00pm.
The monk led the escort team after a long journey to the headquarters of the 386th Brigade.
The entire convoy consisted of nearly 200 large carriages, all of which were loaded with weapons and equipment.
When approaching the 386th Brigade’s base, the soldiers standing guard outside saw the huge procession of horse-drawn carriages and immediately ran back excitedly to report.
The sentry happily ran to the headquarters.
"Report to the brigade commander, the convoy carrying weapons and equipment has arrived."
Upon hearing this, the brigade commander put down his pen.
"Oh, this is quite fast. We are here so soon."
"Chief of Staff, the weapons and equipment have arrived. Let's go out to welcome them and call the soldiers along."
The brigade commander, along with the chief of staff and others, came to the entrance of the village.
From afar, you can see a line of horse-drawn carriages stretching as far as the eye can see on the road.
"Haha, Chief of Staff, the exciting moment has arrived. I want to see what good things Gundam brings us."
The monk led the team slowly to the entrance of the village.
When he saw the brigade commander and his entourage, he immediately dismounted and trotted to the brigade commander.
"Report to the brigade commander. Wei Dayong of the Independent Column Special Forces Battalion has safely arrived with the weapons and equipment he escorted."
"Captain Wei, thank you for your hard work along the way."
"It's not hard, this is what I should do."
After the entire convoy entered the base, the soldiers of the 386th Brigade began to unload the goods.
"Everyone, let's go see what goodies Commander Gao has sent us."
The brigade commander led his men to the carriage and opened a wooden box.
There were 10 brand new Mauser rifles lying inside, and the box was emitting the smell of engine oil.
The brigade commander picked up a Mauser rifle and started playing with it skillfully.
"Good gun, it's a really good gun."
"Captain Wei, why do I feel that this gun is a little different from the German Mao-colored rifle? It seems to be a little shorter." The brigade commander asked in confusion.
"Reporting to the brigade commander, this batch of Mauser rifles have been improved by the arsenal and are more suitable for our Eighth Route Army soldiers. The bullets are the same model as the Zhongzheng rifles..." the monk explained.
The brigade commander nodded with satisfaction.
"Not bad, not bad. Commander Gao is very thoughtful. This gun is indeed suitable for our soldiers to use."
The brigade commander looked at Wei Dayong and said.
"By the way, Captain Wei, do you have a list of the weapons and equipment delivered this time? I want to see how many weapons there are."
Wei Dayong quickly took out a list from his arms.
"Brigade Commander, there is a list, but I forgot to take it out just now."
Wei Dayong said as he handed the list to the brigade commander.
The brigade commander took the list and looked at it. The next second, his expression became excited and he couldn't help but speak loudly.
"Hahaha, Commander Gao has given us a big gift this time. It's really amazing."
On the list alone there were 4000 Mauser rifles and 200 million rounds of bullets.
The number of mortars and light and heavy machine guns reached three digits, and there were also a considerable number of artillery shells.
The 386th Brigade made a fortune from this wave of transactions and became the richest main force in the Eighth Route Army.
