Chapter 368 The whole army is boiling
The arsenal is the most confidential unit in the military region except the headquarters.
Therefore, when the arsenal used bullet shells to exchange for bullets, the arsenal did not come forward directly, but instead exchanged them through the military logistics department.
The three mules and horses carrying bullet shells of the guard regiment, under the protection of the regiment commander and a platoon, arrived at the logistics department after only more than an hour.
As soon as I arrived at the gate, a clerk came out: "Captain Wang, you are the first regiment commander to come to the logistics department to change bullets after the military region's order is issued. Come in quickly. Let's count the bullet shells first, and then calculate the number of bullets to you."
"Is there really a bullet replacement?" The regiment commander suppressed his inner excitement and finally confirmed.
"Of course there is, if there is no bullet replacement, the military region will not give you an order to collect bullet shells! However, not all bullet shells are required. We must collect good bullet shells!" The logistics officer answered immediately, very confident and affirmative!
The guard commander quickly replied: "Don't worry, I have selected all the bullet shells I brought, which are bad, but I have selected them and put them in a separate bag. The rest are all good and can withstand the inspection of the comrades in the Logistics Department!"
Then he ordered the guard platoon soldiers behind him, "Why are you still standing there? You haven't helped the comrades in the logistics department to move the bullet shells inside and count them. These are all Huang Cancan's bullets, don't break them!"
"Yes, regiment commander!" The guard platoon leader also looked excited.
If the bullet shells can really be replaced with bullets, these bullet shells can be replaced with at least 18,000 bullets. With these bullets supplementing the guard regiment, there will never be an embarrassing situation of three bullets on the guard regiment soldiers in the future.
More than a dozen soldiers from the logistics department cleaned the bullet shells together, and a thousand intact bullet shells were put into a box.
Not long after, thirty-eight boxes were filled, and in the end there were hundreds of bullet shells, many of which were broken!
A cadre from the Logistics Department walked up to the guard commander and said, "There are more than 38,000 bullet shells in total, and the fractions are wiped off. I'll calculate 38,000 bullet shells for you, Commander Wang!"
"In other words, your Logistics Department will give me 19,000 bullets!" The regiment commander's eyes had already shot out two shimmers, and he asked, staring at the cadres of the Logistics Department.
"That's right, there are a total of 19,000 bullets. According to one box of bullets, a total of 19 boxes. If Captain Wang thinks there is no problem, sign here and I will carry the bullets for you now!" the cadre said affirmatively.
"No problem, just nineteen boxes of bullets, give them to me now!" Captain Wang said anxiously, glanced at the list handed over by the other party and signed his name.
Not long after, Commander Wang saw several soldiers from the Logistics Office walking over with a bullet box.
"Captain Wang, this is the bullet you want. One box of one thousand bullets, and there are about a dozen dud bullets in one box. This is inevitable, you should be clear!" The logistics department cadre pointed to the box piled in front of him and introduced.
"Clear, very clear!" Captain Wang said excitedly, then took a bayonet from his subordinates and pried open a box directly.
"Bullets, all are 38-four-covered bullets..." Looking at the bullets full of boxes, the guard commander smiled and shouted happily.
Then he subconsciously grabbed a bullet, as if he admired a gold, silver and treasure. He looked at the bullets one by one before putting them down!
This cadre from the Logistics Department understood why Commander Wang was so excited. The Eighth Route Army had always lacked guns and bullets. If you want to get a bullet, you can only snatch it from the Japanese. It was very difficult. Now you only need to exchange it with a bullet shell and easily bring back nearly 20,000 bullets. The huge gap between the front and back is definitely worthy of Commander Wang's excitement.
After two minutes, a total of nineteen boxes of bullets were placed in front of him. Commander Wang slowly calmed down, and then stared at the cadres of the Logistics Department and asked: "In addition to these nineteen thousand bullets, if I still have bullet shells sent over next, will the Logistics Department still be replaced!"
"Replace, of course, but at present, there are only two types of bullets that can be replaced by the Logistics Department. One is the 6.5mm password 38 large-capacity special bullet, and the other is the 7.9mm Hanyang Made Hezhong official special bullet. There are no heavy machine gun bullets for the time being, but there will definitely be them in a month. Therefore, if there is a heavy machine gun bullet case, it will be kept temporarily, and the bullets will definitely be replaced at that time." The cadres of the Logistics Department answered very affirmatively.
Commander Wang was immediately shrouded in his heart by a huge surprise. He didn't understand why the logistics department, which usually had no bullet, became so generous today. Bullets, even heavy machine gun bullets, could be replaced as long as they could come with the bullet shell.
Then my mind became hot and subconsciously asked: "I'll take the liberty to ask, comrade, where do these bullets come from? Why do we need to replace them with bullet shells? Can we reload bullets?"
The Logistics Department cadre's face, whose calmness just now, suddenly became serious: "Captain Wang, you are an old revolutionary, you should know the confidentiality discipline of our army. If you shouldn't ask, I won't say anything even if you ask!"
Captain Wang immediately reacted: "Yes, if you don't ask, you shouldn't know, it will be troublesome in the future! As long as you can continue to change bullets, it doesn't matter if you don't know!"
After saying that, he ordered his subordinates, "Why are you still standing there? Come and move the bullets immediately. From now on, these bullets belong to our guard regiment!"
"Also, hurry up and hurry up and go back early and continue to find bullet shells! No one knows how many bullets there are in the logistics department. Please exchange them early and feel at ease!"
Dozens of people marched almost all the way back to the garrison. Seeing more than a dozen boxes of bullets brought back by the regiment commander, the political commissar was happier than the regiment commander.
He was in charge of the logistics reserves at the regiment level. Every day, he looked at the reserves of less than 5,000 bullets in the regiment headquarters, and the political commissar saw it in his eyes and was anxious, and he prayed every day not to encounter the Japanese. Otherwise, the guard regiment with little guns and bullets would not even be able to protect itself, let alone protect the headquarters!
"Captain, I've really changed it back! That's great. Our guard regiment finally has bullets. No need to worry about encountering the Japanese. Because there are no bullets, they can only fight with bayonets and fight for their lives!" The political commissar shouted excitedly.
Then he stared at these bullets and suggested like a miser of money: "I suggest that you store these bullets in the regiment headquarters and use them at critical moments!"
"Stay all in the regiment headquarters!" The regiment commander decided without saying a word.
Seeing the disappointed expressions flashing on the faces of several battalion commanders around him, the regiment commander changed his mind and continued!
"I asked the people from the logistics department that the bullet exchange will continue. So, from now on, except for the on-duty warning troops, everyone else went out to find bullet shells. The villagers near the battlefield must have them at home, and they all need to find a way to collect them!"
"After the regiment headquarters hoarded 40,000 bullets, I will share with you as many extra bullets as you have, and strive to make the bullets in the hands of the soldiers reach the ten-point per capita level!"
In the next few days, the guard regiment continued to exchange more than 30,000 bullets.
Because the troops could not leave the defense zone too far to collect bullet shells, the regiment headquarters rarely received a large number of bullet shells sent from below.
However, Captain Wang was already very satisfied.
After the regiment headquarters left 40,000 bullets, Commander Wang fulfilled his promise to take all the remaining bullets so that the bullets in each soldier could reach 10 per capita per capita.
With the bullets, the soldiers became more confident when patrolling and alerting. They walked on the road, and the bulging bullet belts made their chests stand taller than ever!
