In the evening, Yuan Pengfei's hearty laughter came from the battalion compound, but several company commanders stood separately, staring at each other and treating each other as competitors.

There is no way, there are more wolves and less meat.

Yesterday, after the three company commanders were assigned to the mission, they took the soldiers to their respective recruiting villages overnight, formulated recruitment strategies, and went with the Chief of the Security Commander to persuade families of young people of appropriate age.

They started recruiting soldiers early this morning, and after recruiting, they rushed back with the roster. They didn't say anything, who would think there were too many weapons and equipment that could be obtained with just one mouth!

Look, the number of people reported on the roster of the three company commanders is already unexpected.

The first company commander Rao Guohua recruited 53 new recruits in Shangtai Village, which was estimated to have taken away 1/5 of the village's population.

The second company commander Zhang Daming recruited 45 new recruits in Lixin Village, and the speed was very fast.

The third company commander Chen Qiao is amazing. Qilipo and Doumen Village are the farthest away, with a population of hundreds of households. He recruited 120 recruits in one breath, which was more than enough to fill the third company.

After Yuan Pengfei was happy, he was confused. He asked, "Old Chen, have you taken out all these two villages? There is no means to violate discipline!"

Chen Qiao smiled, "Battery Commander, you don't know me yet, how dare you violate discipline? It's just two villages, and the four of us are a bit wasteful, so I sent the second platoon leader and the third platoon leader to another village. The four villages have only 120 recruits in total, and there is still potential to be tapped."

After saying this, everyone understood, and Rao Guohua and Zhang Daming were also upset. They were just thinking about realizing their potential and trying to recruit more soldiers in the village. Before they could even go to other villages in the base area to recruit soldiers!

In this way, the three companies recruited 218 new recruits, and there was no problem in replenishing the previous situation of the Second Battalion. If the battalion recruited 112 people in Shuwa Village, it would be equivalent to creating another Second Battalion.

It is troublesome if there is less manpower, and too much manpower. Yuan Pengfei promised weapons and equipment early, and all three families are in line with the situation. However, the equipment left in the Second Battalion warehouse, plus their existing ones, is to arm a full-staff battalion, is obviously not enough now.

"Battery Commander, Deputy Battalion Commander, Three Company Commanders."

The black-faced old man walked in with the booklet compiled by Li Xiucai, greeting the others expressionlessly. Li Xiucai was so thin that he was afraid of offending others, so he was embarrassed to come over and announce the bad news.

So he pushed this difficult task to the black-faced old man. Anyway, he is a black-faced god and is born with three points of evil spirits. Even if others are angry, they dare not exert their anger.

"Zhao Chen, then tell us what equipment is there in the Second Battalion's warehouse!!" Yuan Pengfei ordered casually.

"Yes, battalion commander." Zhao Chen faced the three company commanders with his black face. "There are currently guns in the battalion warehouse, including 86 official rifles, 115 38 large-scale covers, 37 37 37 300 245 other miscellaneous rifles, a total of 245 245.

There are three Czech light machine guns, one Maxim heavy machine gun, one Type 92 heavy machine gun, and five crooked hands.

There are more than 1,000 grenades, and only two are sent to the entire battalion. In addition, the total number of rifles and bullets of various types is only 10,000, and the number of machine guns is 8,000, so it is no problem to save some effort to fight a battle."

There were 245 guns, each of the three new recruits in the company fired one, and the light and heavy machine guns divided the firepower of each company and then went up. However, as soon as the three company commanders showed joy, Yuan Pengfei poured them a cold water.

He shook the roster with the roster and said, "Don't think too beautifully. Today, the battalion recruited 112 people and had to fire guns. So on average, the recruits can only get 75% of the guns, and you can find a way for the rest.

I know you still have some bullets in your hands, and I don’t bother to calculate grenades. Each rifle is given 20 bullets, and each recruit will send another grenade. That’s all."

Chen Qiao recruited a large number of new recruits, and the average plan was the best for him, so he was naturally overjoyed.

Rao Guohua and Zhang Daming were bitter. The manpower had not yet filled up their respective companies, not to mention that 25% of them did not fire guns, so when could this combat power be improved?

Zhang Daming frowned and said with a bitter face: "Battery Commander, what's going on? How long can 20 bullets be fired? And can the warrior without guns fight against the enemy with a fire stick?"

Although Rao Guohua did not agree, the expression on his face betrayed him, obviously very dissatisfied.

Yuan Pengfei glared at him and said, "You two don't complain to me here. We used to fight with the brigade headquarters. If we seized too many of them, we sent them to the brigade to use for other brother troops. If we need it, the Logistics Department will also add some guns, ammunition, grenades, etc. to us.

But now it’s different. Our independent regiment is based in this base area, which is nearly 100 kilometers away from the brigade headquarters, and it doesn’t fight on a large scale. So I took all the original idea away.

Our leader said that he would be self-sufficient in the future and would not care about anything. I also tell you that if you are capable, you can grab the Japanese, guns, ammunition, food, drinks, and everything.

But if you don’t have the ability, you will be scolded honestly, watching others eat meat and starve yourself. The battalion department only listens to good news and doesn’t care whether you have guns and ammunition or not.”

"Yes, battalion commander."

The three of them stood attentively and saluted, as if they were suddenly scolded.

However, after only three seconds of handsomeness, the fox's tail was revealed again.

Rao Guohua spoke the fastest, "Battery Commander, it is a matter for us to fight guerrilla self-sufficiently. Now we should allocate light and heavy machine guns!"

"Yeah yeah."

Chen Qiao and Zhang Daming also agreed with each other, staring at Yuan Pengfei expectantly, wanting to get a share of the pie.

Wang Zihu, who had never spoken, finally couldn't sit still and said, "You three shouldn't think too beautifully. Just a few possessions, I really want to separate my own things!"

"Rao Guohua, you have a lot of machine guns in your company, two are Czech and four are crooked. None of them was left when cleaning the battlefield."

"Zhang Daming, your second company's machine gun is enough, three Czech and three crooked hands, and there are too many more. Will there be any man who can control it?"

"Chen Qiao, although there are few people left in your third company, you have not many guns. I remember there is also a Czech style and a crooked handkerchief. You have taken more than 50 Japanese melon grenades."

The three company commanders were told, but their faces were still blushing and their hearts were not beating. They didn't think there was anything wrong with their weapons. If they could get a machine gun after being criticized, they would definitely say that they would make the criticism more violent!

Yuan Pengfei weighed the matter for a moment, and knew it was his turn to come forward. He said, "There are only a few light machine guns, and the new recruits from the battalion headquarters also need them. So, Chen Qiao, take all the melon grenades and change them to you with a Czech style and two crooked hands. Don't worry about the rest, you can only grab them by the Japanese with your ability."

Chen Qiao knew that it was like this, but she was still very happy. Rao Guohua and Zhang Daming didn't take anything, and there was inevitably a look of disappointment on his face. However, Yuan Pengfei's next words made them much happier.

"Don't complain that I, the battalion commander, do not support you. There are only two heavy machine guns in total, and there is no way to divide them. In this way, each of your company will send two heavy machine gun teams to learn how to operate heavy machine guns.

If anyone wants to fight, he needs heavy machine guns, he can come to the battalion headquarters to pick up the reinforcements. If reinforcements are needed, I, the battalion commander, personally lead the troops to reinforce. It's great!" Yuan Pengfei was very proud, as if fighting was as easy as eating and drinking water, and this reinforcement was in vain.

In fact, there are no vain jobs in this world. Yuan Pengfei's thoughts will only come out when they need them urgently. At that time, they have to agree, and if they don't agree, they have to agree.

Just like Li Yunlong, who could not refuse the brigade commander's lion, the three of them could not escape such a fate. Who made the senior official to kill someone?

The three of them didn't know about this, and now they followed Zhao Chen to get the guns and ammunition with satisfaction. Only when they tasted this taste in the future will they regret it.

However, when they went to the ammunition depot, another bad thing happened. The new recruits from the battalion headquarters had already retrieved the guns in advance according to Yuan Pengfei's instructions. The remaining rifles were really rare to pick!

The largest number of 38 large covers were picked out, and only 31 were left, but no one wanted this. In a war with the Japanese, the most seized were the 38 large covers, and the bullets were also 6.5 mm caliber, and they could be used just by taking them. There was no problem that the bullets could not match the caliber.

Moreover, this kind of rifle is relatively long, and after being bayonet, it will not suffer any loss when fighting with the Japanese. Unlike the official rifle, the bayonet has not stabbed into the Japanese's stomach, and the Japanese's 38th cover has stabbed the warrior's chest open.

The 86 official rifles are still quite popular. Although the rifle ordered by the Chairman of the Awards, although the range is shorter and the accuracy is not as good as the 38th Great Cover. It is also a bit of a loss to fight against the bayonet, but its power is still good, much stronger than the 38th Great Cover.

Many of the puppet troops under the Japanese took this kind of rifle. Their combat effectiveness was very poor, and it was easier to seize bullets from them, so this was also a relatively popular rifle.

The last 37 Hanyang-made, old sleeves and other seven miscellaneous rifles were left unavoidable. Hanyang-made and old sleeves were actually German-made M1888 rifles. However, in order to prevent the blasting of the chamber, the old sleeves were reinforced with a layer of steel pipe on the barrel jacket. Hanyang-made directly bolded the barrel, without adding the old sleeve.

This gun was a representative of advanced weapons in the late Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China, but the rifle of many guns has been smoothed out and bullets are shot out. The accuracy is very bad. It is really a question whether it can attack the Japanese.
