When everyone came to the road at the east entrance of the town mentioned by Meng Fangliao. A group of Sichuan Legion soldiers following Liao Mingyu were speechless...
In front of them were more than 20 military trucks lined up, loaded with various weapons and equipment. M1 Garand, M2 heavy machine gun, ZB30 light machine gun, M3 submachine gun, 60mm mortar, 120mm mortar... and countless types of ammunition.
The most eye-catching one is undoubtedly the four Krupp 105mm howitzers towed by five Diamond T 968 trucks.
At this moment, Long Wenwen was riding on the barrel of the cannon in a crazy way, dancing as if he was galloping on a horse. As cheerfully as a child.
He saw Liao Mingyu from a distance and shouted excitedly to Liao Mingyu: "Team leader! We are rich! Howitzer, haha!"
Krupp in the team looked directly at these howitzers, and walked towards the cannons as if he was being led by a spirit. He stared in place for nearly a minute. He kept mumbling to himself: "This is it, this is it..."
He stroked the barrel of the cannon with his fat hands as if caressing his lover. This is the Krupp cannon that he has been dreaming about.
"...Commander, go back and shoot, just shoot!"
Krupp's fat right hand is an exaggerated word. He begged pitifully to Liao Mingyu.
Beat your sister... Liao Mingyu was not happy to pay attention to him at the moment, because he also walked up to the Krupp 105 howitzer with an excited look on his face.
The gun body is nearly 3 meters long and 1.88 meters high, with a slender and straight barrel. It can launch 15kg high-explosive grenades and various special bombs such as incendiary bombs, smoke bombs and high-explosive steel ball bombs. The maximum range is 12 kilometers, and the overall mass of the artillery is close to two tons, which is more than enough to be towed and towed by a Diamond T truck.
The gun also has ballistic shields. The system is so careful that it actually paints the entire gun body surface in forest camouflage, which can be well hidden from aerial detection in an environment like Myanmar.
Liao Mingyu nodded with satisfaction. Um. What a nice German lady...ugh! …What a nice German artillery piece. How scared are you to face the Japanese Army's 75 field artillery pieces again? Why don't you beat him to the point of calling him daddy?
In addition to the towed artillery, several Diamond T trucks also contained more than 800 rounds of artillery shells, all of which were additionally redeemed from the system by Liao Mingyu, plus the 200 that came with the reward. Four 105 howitzers have a total of 1,000 high-explosive grenades of various types.
At this time, a chubby lieutenant colonel walked up to Liao Mingyu, saluted respectfully and said:
"This is Commander Liao, hehe. I am Zhao Gongming, the leader of the 18th Transportation Regiment. The superiors have sent me to deliver supplies to you this time. Please check first to see if there are any problems."
While talking, Zhao Gongming respectfully handed over an information booklet, which clearly recorded the names and quantities of all the items this time.
Um? Zhao Gongming?
"Your name is a bit strange. I remember that there is a God of Wealth among the gods named Zhao Gongming." Liao Mingyu said with some humor.
"Haha, don't dare, the general has given me the reward. My name was given by my parents, how can it be compared to that of the God of Wealth."
Zhao Gongming answered cautiously. He should have inquired before coming. This man had a great reputation and a frighteningly high background. Anyway, he was not something that a small character like him could offend.
The most important thing is that the truck has been loaded and ready to go at the beginning, and a batch of supplies have been temporarily added to the truck. And when he saw the list of supplies, he felt bad.
Even the head of state's personal bodyguards don't have this equipment. Many were foreign weapons that he had never seen before. As for giving it to a small group leader far away from the border?
horrible. Zhao Gongming was panic-stricken, and he felt more and more that this man was not simple, so he did not dare to cheat in the slightest along the way. He was also polite when meeting Liao Mingyu, and did not dare to make any mistakes. God knows what will happen if this man gets angry.
Liao Mingyu didn't know his inner monologue. At this moment, he was carefully looking at the supplies on the list:
3,000 sets of military uniforms for the expeditionary force. 3,000 helmets.
1,000 M1 Garand rifles.
500 M3 submachine guns.
80 M2 heavy machine guns...
In addition to the weapons he exchanged at that time, there are also 2,000 sets of military uniforms and quilts on the list, as well as countless logistic items.
800 official rifles,
50 Czech ZB26 light machine guns,
24 Civilian Type 31 60mm mortars,
12 Maxim heavy machine guns,
30,000 rounds of 7.92mm bullets and hundreds of 60mm mortar shells.
There are also 5,000 ocean coins for military pay. These were the first batch of materials promised to him by the head of state.
The superiors gave me a high-power military radio. There are also two transmitters. Although this configuration is far from what I have, it is still better than nothing. It is still better than Yu Xiaoqing, and it doesn't matter if he is granted the title of division commander. At least the head of state still thinks of him.
"Yes, that's right. Orderer! Take the list and immediately lead people to check the supplies and count the amounts."
"yes!"
Liao Mingyu waved his hand, and the soldiers quickly began to inventory weapons and equipment. Meng Fan's eyes were dazzled by the beautiful rifles and artillery, which were beyond the imagination of poor and frightened fools like them.
"Damn it, damn it, are you going to spend the night on the cannon barrel? Why don't you come down quickly!" Liao Mingyu laughed and cursed.
"I'm coming!"
Long Wenwen turned over and jumped down, and walked up to Liao Mingyu with a playful smile: "Master, aren't we afraid of poverty? I am so happy to suddenly change from a tenant farmer to a landlord."
Liao Mingyu rolled his eyes at him and said to him: "Go back to the station first and help me get two small yellow croakers. Then bring all the brothers over. Once they finish counting, I will move the supplies back to me. Let's The first battalion can change its clothes.”
"Okay, I understand." Long Wenwen nodded and gave everyone a knowing look, then quickly turned around and led the people towards the station.
…
Half an hour later, Long Wenwen came over with more than a thousand Sichuan Legion soldiers. He quietly handed the little yellow croaker to Liao Mingyu while no one was paying attention.
Meng Fanxiao has basically finished checking over there. He returned the list to Liao Mingyu and said to him: "Regiment, no problem, the number of weapons and equipment is correct."
"Well, let the brothers move. The light weapons will be moved back to the station first. The heavy weapons and various artillery will stay in place. Send a battalion to station here and set up a temporary camp!" Liao Mingyu arranged for him.
"clear!"
Meng Fan glanced at the wealthy military transport officer standing next to him, and immediately arranged for the soldiers to carry out the transportation without further delay.
The hot weather made the fat Zhao Gongming sweat profusely. As if remembering something, he took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat from his face, and said to Liao Mingyu again:
"Commander Liao, this is just the first batch of supplies. The superiors have already ordered us to serve as your exclusive transportation team so that other equipment can be quickly distributed to your troops in the future."
"There is also a supplementary group coming from Hunan. There are about 1,000 people. They are behind the convoy because they are walking. I guess they should be able to arrive tonight. So what? If there is no problem with the supplies, can you please sign here? .”
Zhao Gongming handed over a receipt folder and a pen, indicating that Liao Mingyu could sign after accepting it.
