Chapter 491: Autumn Harvest and Winter Collection 49
"You, you, you... Li Gousheng, don't swear by others. When will I say I want to surrender to the Japanese?" Liang Xixian was so angry that he couldn't even speak.
"What are you? Are you just afraid of fighting with the devils? You coward, you are afraid of death, but I'm not afraid." Li Gousheng was born as Qiu Ba, and now he relies on being Li Qinglin's confidant, so he doesn't care about Liang Xixian's bullshit director.
Xiao Liuzi, Li Gousheng and others were all brought down by Li Qinglin from Mount Feng. The repeated battles have made everyone tightly unite. Under the leadership of Li Qinglin, escaping from death made them extremely loyal to Li Qinglin, which can be said to be so devoted. In the Ninth Detachment, Li Qinglin's words were imperial edicts for them, and others were no problem in their eyes, let alone Liang Xixian, a sarcastic director of political training all day long.
Seeing that Liang Xixian was blocked by Li Gousheng's words, Li Qinglin smoothed out: "Okay, OK, today is a discussion meeting, not a quarrel. I hope everyone will keep their anger down and talk calmly if you have anything to say."
Li Qinglin's words seemed to be impartial, but in fact he still secretly turned to Li Gousheng. After all, Li Gousheng was contradicting his boss and was suspected of swearing.
Seeing that the two of them shut up, Li Qinglin continued: "Director Liang is actually kind-hearted. He reminded us that we must make a combat plan and make pre-war reconnaissance preparations before the war. If we don't fight, we will win. We must never turn the assault war into a war of attrition that is not worth the loss. Therefore, you must be fully prepared before you take action in the future and never fight a confused war."
Seeing that Li Qinglin did not criticize him directly, Liang Xixian repeatedly said: "Yes, yes! The commander is right, that's what I mean."
The topic of this meeting has basically ended. Li Qinglin waved his hand and said, "This meeting is over. I hope that brothers will have a sense of crisis, think more and prepare more after returning. We must practice troops diligently, train soldiers well, and prepare for the more difficult years of the War of Resistance in the future."
The meeting was over, and the officers all stood up one after another, and the sounds of greeting each other and the sounds of benches colliding everywhere, and the venue was noisy.
"Director Liang, Chief of Staff Liu, Director Luo, and the captains of the three brigades are here to stay. Let's have another brief meeting." In order for those attending the meeting to hear the notice, Li Qinglin shouted loudly.
Liang Xixian was packing up his teacup and notebook to go back. He was stunned when he heard Li Qinglin notifying him of the meeting.
Today's meeting was decided the day before yesterday, and the agenda of the meeting had been decided long ago. It seems that all the topics set before the meeting have been discussed. Now Li Qinglin has notified that there is still a meeting, which is very surprising.
The following memories are small-scale meetings. If Li Qinglin had any arrangements, why didn’t he discuss them at the conference? And what did he say at the conference? What exactly did he want to do? Liang Xixian sat down and felt uneasy in his heart.
All the other participants left the venue, and only Liang Xixian, Liu Changda, Luo Dafu and several team leaders were left behind. These people are now the core figures of the Ninth Detachment.
There were fewer people. The venue seemed empty and quiet. Li Qinglin picked up the tea cup in front of him and took a sip of tea, then said, "Everyone, I have already talked about our ammunition tightness just now. I guess everyone is very anxious now. We have thought of some solutions just now, and I think it's all very good. But just now, because of the crowds, I have a way to say it in public. Now I'll leave everyone for a small meeting, just to ask everyone if this method can work."
What Li Qinglin said was about raising ammunition. Liang Xixian was relieved, but he felt a little uncomfortable immediately. Why can't you say something in public? Is your solution not working, or is it just a whimsical idea?
Xiao Liuzi said: "Commander, the solution you think must be appropriate and will definitely work."
Zhang Ergou also shouted: "Commander, why are you polite to us? We will do whatever you say."
They are all Li Qinglin's die-hard confidants. They absolutely obey and absolutely carry out whatever Li Qinglin said. Liang Xixian has long seen this. Although Liang Xixian is very dissatisfied with these foolish and loyal people to Li Qinglin, he has no choice. After all, those people have experienced life-and-death battles together, and even comrades who can trust each other to life and death.
"Then I'll say it!" Li Qinglin gently turned down the teacup and said, "Director Luo also missed a few items in the report he just gave."
Li Qinglin's words made Luo Dafu confused: "Commander, I just reported all our family assets. I promised with my wealth and life that I did not hide any military supplies."
Li Qinglin went down, and he turned to ask Luo Dafu: "Does there still be some broken guns and knives in our warehouse? Are there some collected bullet shells?"
Luo Dafu touched his head, smiled embarrassedly, and said, "This is indeed true, but these things are useless and cannot be used as weapons, so I didn't mention this just now."
The Ninth Detachment and the militia now use extremely complicated weapons, including Zhongzheng, Sanba Dakou, Hanyang, and even old guns such as gold hook rifles, old sleeves, and water pearls. Since coming to northern Henan, the Ninth Detachment has fought many large and small battles, and it is reasonable to damage some old weapons; in addition, the Ninth Detachment exchanged bullets with the puppet troops under its control have been secretly kept in secret, and a large number of empty bullet shells collected after being fired were naturally stocked up in the warehouse.
"The shell can be replaced with bullets, which is also a source." Li Qinglin said.
Luo Dafu said: "We have been secretly doing the matter of replacing bullets with the second Japanese devils, but the Japanese seem to have become suspicious recently. They have strictly controlled the consumption of ammunition from the second Japanese devils, so we can only exchange a little bit at a time, and this little bit of ammunition will not play a decisive role."
Li Qinglin said: "Although the number of exchanges is not large each time, accumulating a small amount is also a way to raise money, which is much better than pure consumption. However, I also thought of another way, and we can exchange some bullets from another company."
"Other? Which other one is the other one?" Liang Xixian said in surprise.
Li Qinglin smiled, and pointed his finger at the Hu family's shack and said to Liang Xixian: "Director Liang, this family is our neighbor and your recent job, and that is the Eighth Route Army."
Liang Xixian said: "Commander, stop kidding. The Eighth Route Army's own ammunition is not enough, so how could there be a bullet to exchange with you?"
Li Qinglin said seriously: "I'm not kidding. The Eighth Route Army itself is not enough, because they don't have enough funds and raw materials. The Eighth Route Army's arsenal is not small, and they can produce recharged bullets by themselves. Director Liang must be very qingchu."
Liang Xixian nodded and said, "Their arsenal is now on a certain scale and can indeed produce rechargeable bullets."
In order to prove that their words are fine, Liang Xixian added: "In fact, not only can they produce reloaded bullets now, but the Communist Party had already established factories to produce reloaded bullets when it was in Jiangxi. After so many years of technical accumulation, their current product quality is also very good."
Li Qinglin said: "The technology of producing reloaded bullets is not too difficult. As long as there is a shell, a warhead, a launching medicine and a primer, it is enough. As far as I know, the production of a warhead, a launching medicine and a primer is no problem for them. The key to their inability to increase production is the shell."
Luo Dafu asked: "Those can be produced, why can't the shell be produced?"
Li Qinglin said: "In addition to high-quality brass production, it also requires high-precision punches. There are no high-precision punches on the Eighth Route Army. Therefore, they only need to collect the fired shells and reinstall these shells. The final bullet produced is reinstallation bullets."
"I heard that the quality of the reloaded bullets is not very stable, and sometimes there will be problems such as not firing or being stuck. If there is a blind or stuck on the battlefield, it will be fatal." Liu Changda said.
Li Qinglin said: "There are indeed problems with reloading bullets, but they are bullets after all. On the battlefield, there is a world of difference between having bullets and not having bullets. Besides, we exchanged for reloading bullets from the Eighth Route Army to fight. I mean using these reloading bullets for soldiers for training."
Zhang Ergou immediately responded: "The commander is right. The Eighth Route Army can use rechargeable bullets to fight against the Japanese. We just use rechargeable bullets for shooting training. What's wrong with this?"
After Zhang Ergou made his statement, Xiao Liuzi, Li Gousheng and others naturally nodded in agreement.
Liang Xixian knew that even if he opposed it, it would be useless, but if he didn't object, he was unwilling to accept it. So he asked, "Commander, do you say you are changing bullets with them, will they agree to change it? Besides, the Eighth Route Army's own reloaded bullets are not enough, so what will they use to exchange it?"
"In addition to giving them empty shells, we also give them certain supplies. If they ask for money, we can also give them money. I believe they will definitely agree to exchange it because they will get a certain profit." Li Qinglin said with certainty: "Their reloading bullets is not because they cannot produce them, but because the raw materials are insufficient. If we give them a white-haired empty shell and give them some necessary materials, I believe they will be able to produce 100 reloading bullets soon."
Speaking of this, Li Qinglin turned to Luo Dafu and said, "You sort out the guns that need to be repaired in our warehouse. Their arsenal can repair these broken guns that we cannot use. We can use these broken guns as the cost of exchanging bullets."
Li Qinglin then said to Han Jizhong: "If they ask us to exchange chemical products, please contact Yan Boling and we will try our best to satisfy them."
Han Jizhong said: "Okay, I'll contact Yan Boling right away."
