255 Arms in Place
"Commander, our team that went to get the weapons is back."
In the 88th Division's defense zone, Chief of Staff Chen Sunong said to the division commander Sun Yuanliang who had just woken up.
"came back?"
“Let’s go and have a look.
Our Chief of Staff Ye, please give us as much weapons and ammunition as possible.
If he gives me too little, I will go to the headquarters to find him."
Sun Yuanliang washed his face and shouted.
Soon, they arrived at an open space in the camp, where a major officer was directing the soldiers to carry weapons and ammunition.
"Master!"
When he saw Sun Yuanliang coming, the major immediately saluted.
"Ah."
Sun Yuanliang nodded and asked, "How much weapons and ammunition did you bring back? Tell me."
"Yes!"
"This time, we received a total of 800 rifles, 300 submachine guns, 35 light machine guns, and 10 heavy machine guns from the headquarters."
"Hey! Our Chief of Staff Ye is pretty good.
Just with the submachine guns given to us, we can form a battalion.
Damn, not bad.
Ye Qingshan, this kid, has not forgotten his roots."
After hearing this, Sun Yuanliang also laughed and said to the chief of staff next to him.
"Master, don't worry, there are still surprises to come."
Chief of Staff Chen Sunong, who was standing nearby, also laughed.
"Oh? There's a surprise."
"You go on."
Sun Yuanliang looked at the major and said.
"In addition to these guns, Chief of Staff Ye also gave us fifty bazookas and fifty 60mm mortars.
All bullets and all, all are two bases."
While Sun Yuanliang was listening to the major's introduction, he had already strolled over.
Pick up a rifle and check it out.
"This is an American product, the M1903 Springfield rifle!"
Sun Yuanliang recognized this rifle.
"Yes, Master.
I heard that Qingshan bought a lot of these rifles from the Americans this time.
We have used this type of rifle before and it performs well.
It’s not inferior to the German Mauser rifle we use.”
Chen Sunong added from the side.
Sun Yuanliang nodded, then cocked the gun and praised, "Not bad, all new guns.
Apparently, Qingshan was not cheated by the Americans. "
"Haha, our Chief of Staff Ye is a man who never suffers any loss.
The Yankees can’t cheat him.”
Chen Sunong said with a smile.
"Right.
However, this time Qingshan bought so many new goods from the Americans.
I guess it costs a lot.
For this battle, the Ye family has shed a lot of blood."
Sun Yuanliang said with emotion.
Sun Yuanliang always thought that the money Ye Qingshan used to purchase arms came from the Ye family.
But in fact, Ye Qingshan didn't spend a penny.
It was originally an interest-free loan provided by the Pitt Family Bank.
Moreover, all the arms purchased by Ye Qingshan were sold at cost price.
With the industrial level of the Americans at that time, it only cost about a hundred US dollars to manufacture a Thompson submachine gun.
This is because the United States did not join the war at that time and the war machine was not started.
By the end of World War II, it only cost the Americans thirty dollars to produce a Thompson submachine gun.
This was the terrifying industrial production capacity of the United States during World War II.
And now, if the National Army sends someone to purchase such a Thompson submachine gun.
The Americans will sell it for at least three hundred US dollars, or even five hundred US dollars.
For the same price, Ye Qingshan can buy three to five.
This is the discount that the Pitt family gave to Ye Qingshan in return for selling them the oil extraction equipment drawings.
They won't suffer any loss anyway.
In fact, the Pitt family gave Ye Qingshan 300,000 US dollars just for bullets.
It has to be said that after this transaction, Ye Qingshan fell in love with dealing with these wealthy American conglomerates.
The reason why the Pitt family gave Ye Qingshan such a great discount.
In addition to the factor of the oil extraction equipment drawings transaction, there is another factor, which is nothing more than wanting to invest in Ye Qingshan.
Fortunately, we will get greater benefits in the future.
These American financial groups are all very smart people with good investment vision.
Sun Yuanliang put down the Springfield rifle, picked up a Thompson submachine gun, and said excitedly: "Damn it.
The last time I saw him, Ye Qingshan actually had a main force battalion fully equipped with submachine guns.
That firepower is simply terrifying.
Even I, a main force division, am not so extravagant as this.
Now, with this batch of submachine guns, they can be distributed to the lower levels and used in street fighting with the Japanese.
Look, we are not going to deal with the little devils properly."
“Indeed, the street fighting over the past half month has proven Qingshan’s foresight.
In street fighting, this submachine gun has fierce firepower.
It greatly compensated for the lack of firepower between our soldiers and the Japanese.
It even resulted in a one-to-one casualty ratio.
This kind of thing would have been unthinkable in the past."
Chen Sunong, who was standing nearby, also felt emotional.
"Master, look here, this is the good stuff."
The major officer next to him became anxious at this time. He pointed at the heavy machine guns and the small mortar next to him and couldn't help but say to Sun Yuanliang.
"Haha, that's right.
Commander, compared to these, the heavy machine guns and mortars that Qingshan bought from the Americans this time are good stuff."
"Let me see!"
Sun Yuanliang couldn't help but walk over and fiddle with the heavy machine gun.
The chief of staff Chen Sunong beside him quickly introduced: "The latest American M1919A4 heavy machine gun has a rate of fire of about . It is not water-cooled, but air-cooled.
It has a heat sink on it, which makes it much more powerful than the Maxim heavy machine gun we used before.
I heard that even the American army doesn’t have large-scale equipment at this time.”
"Good stuff, good stuff!"
Listening to the chief of staff's introduction, Sun Yuanliang's eyes lit up.
“And this 60mm mortar, that’s my favorite.
It is easy to operate, smart and convenient to use with our bazooka.
On the battlefield, our supporting firepower is enough to overwhelm the devils."
Chen Sunong pointed to the 60mm mortar next to him and continued.
“Haha, damn it.
With this batch of weapons and ammunition, Qingshan will definitely launch a counterattack.
Even if he doesn't want to fight, I will let him fight."
Sun Yuanliang stood up, waved his hand and said proudly.
“I heard that the headquarters is already formulating a counterattack plan.
I guess we will be given combat missions soon.
Our mission is most likely to retake Guanghua Gate and establish contact with the teaching team on Purple Mountain."
said the chief of staff.
“That’s good.
This time, we must retake Guanghua Gate and drive the Japanese out of the city.
Damn it, fight back, you must fight back.
We have suffered so much injustice in the past half month, and we must find the devil to take it out."
"Chief of Staff, you must immediately notify the commanders of the main regiments and battalions and have them come to the division headquarters for a meeting immediately."
Sun Yuanliang was full of fighting spirit at this time.
