The War of Resistance Begins with the Regiment Leader Chapter 231

Chapter 231: Fear of insufficient firepower? (First update!)

Was it taken away again?

 This is magical!

Major Fertig's blank expression made Cun Yunsheng laugh in his heart.

Perhaps this is the characteristic of top men in science and engineering?

 “Why?” After a long time, Fertig asked.

Who knows, Cun Yunsheng said calmly.

“There was something wrong in Alexandria, and Stilwell needed to dispatch fighter planes to support us, so the fighter planes allocated to us were dispatched back.”

 Hearing this, Major Fertig looked unhappy.

“That stinking shit, the Allies don't lack these thirty-odd fighter planes, Stilwell is just a bastard...” Major Fettiger didn't expect that it was such a simple reason.

Does the Allied Forces lack these thirty-odd fighter planes?

 There is really no shortage!

It's just that Stilwell doesn't have many fighter planes at the moment, otherwise there is really no need to deploy these thirty-odd fighters.

  After all, this makes me look a bit petty.

 In this regard, Cun Yunsheng seemed very calm.

Stilwell did not deploy fighter planes, and he did not know how to persuade Fettig to help produce aircraft.

 Now there are good reasons.

“Major Fertig, our next task is to force the Vichy French army in Annan to surrender. However, the French army's air force is very strong, but General Stilwell told me that it is temporarily unable to send air support.”

“So the next actions can only rely on us.” Before Cun Yunsheng could finish his words, he was interrupted by Fetig.

"No problem. Although these equipments are junk, they can still be used to produce aircraft after modification. However, the only problem is that there are still too few skilled workers."

“According to the list provided, the number of workers needed will be a large number, and you have to solve these problems.”

Hearing this, Cun Yunsheng nodded, and even felt a little happy in his heart.

 It's good to be short of workers!

 I am afraid that I will not be lacking anything.

“How are those students?” Cun Yunsheng asked again.

“It's great. They are all very talented students. They learn quickly. It won't take long for them to become excellent engineers.” Fetig praised them without hesitation.

Hearing this, Cun Yunsheng breathed a sigh of relief.

  Means that he can finally train engineers who belong to China.

 Before that, he has to increase his training efforts.

 The cooperation with Southwest Associated University cannot be interrupted, but the scale of cooperation must be expanded.

"All this is thanks to Major Fetig's dedicated teachings. Without you, they would not have been able to grow so fast." Cun Yunsheng expressed his sincere thanks this time.

Although the other person majored in civil engineering, his hands-on and learning abilities are very strong.

With him as the leader and training a group of engineers like him, it is enough for him.

"It would be nice if there were more students. Maybe I would be more relaxed. There are too many things that need to be done now." Major Fertig spread his hands and said helplessly.

"No problem, I will find a way, Major Fertig. I have decided to send troops to Luzon and Mindanao after the Vichy French army that forced Annan surrenders. Then I will need your help in contacting the guerrillas." Cun Yun The student once again drew a pie for Fertig.

As expected, after hearing this, Major Fertig suddenly became more energetic.

“Colonel, you are a man of credibility, I trust you.” Fertig couldn't help but give a thumbs up.

“Then I'll leave these equipment to you. Whatever you need, I will take care of it for you.” Cun Yunsheng comforted him again.

After leaving the arsenal, Cun Yunsheng was humming along the way.

 Obviously, after visiting the arsenal this time, he was in a very good mood.

 At present, the production of Springfield rifles has reached fifty units per day, and the output is increasing as the proficiency of the workers continues to increase.

Not only that, Fettig said that the newly arrived equipment, after being modified, can be considered for the production of other rifles.

  In other words, it won't be long before he can produce Garand rifles.

 The only trouble is the bullets.

 The current bullets are all made of copper. He has already asked people to dig copper mines, but from mining to smelting and then turning into bullets, it takes time.

 Before this, the only way to do this was to have people recycle the bullet casings.

 So, picking up rags on the battlefield will still need to continue for some time.

“Come here in two months, earth-shaking changes will take place here, but these equipment are not enough.” Cun Yunsheng murmured.

 Due to the outbreak of the war, all kinds of equipment became in short supply.

 Money alone cannot buy it.

 We can only think of another way.

 At the moment, the British army is being deceived a bit miserably, but they are not panicking yet.

Having plundered the world for hundreds of years, this is where we are.

 After all, the things in the museum haven't been sold yet.

 So we are not at the end of our rope yet.

 Persia must be moved.

 It would be fun if they could go north.

 It's a pity that Husky is not strong enough.

 Otherwise, if the two of them work together, they will definitely be enough to give the Soviet army in the north a drink.

“Excuse me, how many rifles do we have in our warehouse now?” Cun Yunsheng weighed it in his mind and then asked.

Meng Fanglia was stunned for a moment, thought for a while, and then gave an uncertain number.

“Including the captured Japanese rifles, there are about 30,000?”

"Thirty thousand? Not too small. Where are the 60 mortars?" Cun Yunsheng asked again.

Who knows, Meng Fanlao couldn't help but roll his eyes.

“Regimental leader, do you think we have many mortars? You wish that all the infantry squads were equipped with mortars, how many more can we have?”

Meng Fanglia wonders if his regiment suffers from a phobia of insufficient firepower. He always feels that the Sichuan regiment lacks firepower.

 Actually, judging from the firepower at the squad level, even the direct line does not have such strong firepower.

 Just pick up an infantry squad and there will be very few soldiers carrying Springfield rifles.

 In fact, according to Cun Yunsheng's thinking, the production of recoilless rifles is too small.

 Otherwise each squad would have to be equipped with one and two bazookas.

 Everyone else has to be a submachine gun, a semi-automatic rifle, a machine gun, or even a rifle grenade.

After all, according to the experience of later generations, a squad can only be equipped with one rifle at most, and the others will carry the rocket launcher for me.

 “Is it such an exaggeration?” Cun Yunsheng asked doubtfully.

“Is that an exaggeration? Take a look for yourself. All 60 mortars are assigned to infantry platoons. Which infantry platoon have you seen with mortars?” Meng Fan was speechless for a while.

“That guy from Milong has complained to me many times. This puts too much pressure on logistics.”

"It's not enough. According to the standards of the US military, the infantry squad must have rifle grenades. I don't know when Stilwell can get me some." Cun Yunsheng felt that the firepower was still somewhat insufficient.

Meng Fanxiao didn't understand it at all. He was really suffering from a phobia of lack of firepower.

“Tuanzuo, don't you wish that everyone had a mortar on their backs? During the war, would you just blast them without saying a word?”

"Yes, according to my idea, only one person in a class can have a gun, and everyone else has to carry the cannon. But Milong is right, the logistical pressure is too great." Cun Yunsheng said solemnly.

"Let Mi Long and Kang Ya find a way to train more truck drivers. Aren't there still so many bombed trucks in the warehouse? Let Fetig find a way to fix them all. The British guys and the little devils left so much junk. , must be used.”

“Also tell Zhang Yang that although there are fewer planes, the training cannot stop. There must be more pilots, the better. In the future, we will also learn from the Yankees in airdropping supplies.”

Hearing this, Meng Fanglia was completely frightened. "Tuanzuo, is this step too big for you? We don't have many transport planes?"

 The only transport plane was also mobilized.

 In other words, Cun Yunsheng's special plane is gone.

"What are you panicking about? Just because there isn't one now, doesn't mean there won't be one in the future." Cun Yunsheng said angrily.

“Don't forget, we are holding the two cards of Yangon and Bangkok now. If we can't come forward to buy things, we can just ask them to come forward. They are recognized by Stilwell himself.”

"But…"

Meng Fan was about to say something, but was interrupted by Cun Yunsheng.

"There are not so many, but these are the roads we will take in the future. The US military is leading the way for me. We must not let them down."

 Mechanized troops!

 Synthetic combat!

　　Supply airdrops and more!

These are things you have to experience. If you don't prepare now, it will be too late later.

 If there are no conditions, create conditions.

Seeing that Cun Yunsheng had made up his mind, Meng Fan could only nod.

Kunming, since the Fifth Army and part of the Yunnan Army were transferred away, it has become a bit lonely.

 However, with the addition of new troops and the arrival of hungry people, the former prosperity was restored again.

 The only person who had a hard time was Long Yun of the Yunnan Army.

 There are more and more military commanders monitoring him.

"Brother Jiu, this is this month's report." In the office of the Military Command Action Team, Li Jiu was reviewing documents when a subordinate walked in and said respectfully.

“Well, put it here.” Li Jiu did not raise his head, but motioned to his subordinates to put the report down and said at the same time.

“Take the box next to it later and let the brothers share it.”

"Yes, Brother Jiu." When the subordinate heard this, it was obvious that the joy on his face could not be suppressed.

 As the war progressed, supplies became increasingly scarce and life became difficult for everyone.

 Since Li Jiu and Zhang Ruzhi came, the people at their Kunming Station have slowly lived a good life.

 What was the name of the one you passed before?

 Everyone is miserable.

 Can't even eat meat a few times.

 It's different now. Not only is there meat every meal, but you can still see meat and fish for at least two or three days.

"No wonder the brothers said that following Brother Jiu, you can eat meat and drink wine." The subordinates took a look at the size of the box and felt even more happy.

 Obviously the performance last month was pretty good, so they distributed a lot more than before.

"Following the webmaster, not me, I'm just an errand boy." Li Jiunan showed a hint of joy on his face, and then said seriously.

“Tell the brothers to serve some snacks. This is all our achievement. Whether we can make a fortune or not depends on them.”

“Yes, Brother Jiu, don't worry, brothers will never dare to be careless.” His subordinates assured him quickly.

“Go ahead and give the brothers a share of the money, and you will get a lot of money.” Li Jiu said with a smile.

 “Yes, Brother Jiu.”

 After his subordinates left, Li Jiu looked at the report in his hand, thought for a while, and then knocked on Zhang Ruzhi's office door.

"What's the matter? Li Jiu, what happened again?" We haven't seen him for a while, and Zhang Ruzhi has gained weight again.

This feeling of lying down and collecting money is really great.

 So over time, he also gained weight.

“This is last month's report. Our profits have increased a lot.”

 “Isn't this a good thing?” Zhang Ruzhi looked at Li Jiu puzzled.

"But the Sichuan Army has more and more requests. This is their latest request." Li Jiu handed over a telegram.

 After reading the telegram, Zhang Ruzhi seemed very calm.

"After getting on this ship, I knew that the money was not so easy to get, but it was not a big problem. Now the Fifth Army has gone on an expedition. We are the largest station in Kunming now. What the Sichuan Army wants will be sent directly to go."

“It's just some skilled workers who were sent to them. I don't know what they are doing. Last time it was the navy. It took a lot of effort to get those people, but I couldn't say enough.”

Li Jiu pretended not to hear Zhang Ruzhi's complaints and took out another telegram.

“Shancheng may want to investigate us.”

Hearing this, Zhang Ruzhi was so frightened that he sat up and looked at the telegram.

 I suddenly broke into a cold sweat.

 “Why do you want to investigate us so well?”

"Maybe it's because our rice business has robbed others of their wealth, and there are also those arms. It is said that the north is equipped with a lot of them." Li Jiu said helplessly with his hands spread out.

Hearing this, Zhang Ruzhi took a deep look at Li Jiu.

You must know that the other party is responsible for the black market. As a result, weapons appear in the north.

 Considering that both parties are now grasshoppers in the same boat, Zhang Ruzhi asked.

 “What can you do?”

Hearing this, Li Jiu thought for a moment, and then suggested.

“The first way is to kill them directly and then frame them on the Yunnan Army. After all, Shangfeng is also very dissatisfied with the Yunnan Army.”

"No, the technique is too crude. Those people on the mountain are not fools, and our boss Dai is even smarter. It is impossible to play this trick in front of him." Zhang Ruzhi rejected the other party's proposal.

 Li Jiu was not surprised by Zhang Ruzhi's reaction.

"The second option is to bribe directly. I believe no one can refuse Dayang. If it's not enough, then increase the price. Aren't the people the Sichuan Army wants to be in the mountain city? As long as they agree to cooperate, there is absolutely no problem."

The sailors we got last time were too few, and it was far from enough to fully operate the Siamese warships.

 But those sailors are all in mountain cities, and their relationship network is not that strong.

 So this matter has been delayed.

Now the Sichuan Army Corps sent a telegram asking them to find a way to solve this problem as soon as possible.

Zhang Ruzhi looked at Li Jiu in disbelief, not expecting that the other party could connect these things together.

  But I have to say that if people from mountain cities are willing to cooperate, there is still great hope.

Thinking of this, Zhang Ruzhi kept banging on the table.

 “Can it be done?”

“No problem, there is no one who cannot be bribed by Dayang these days. If there is, then we will find a crime for them.” Li Jiu pointed to the north and said meaningfully.

　　His!

Zhang Ruzhi took a deep breath, this guy's methods were not ordinary ruthless.

 And I have to say, this move is indeed cruel enough.

“Okay, I'll leave this matter to you. Remember, our business cannot be interrupted.” Zhang Ruzhi emphasized again.

 “Yes.” Li Jiu stood up and said.

After Li Jiu left, Zhang Ruzhi picked up the report and flipped through it casually. Seeing how much more oceans had been allocated to him, he couldn't keep his eyes open with laughter.

Perhaps only the ocean can make me feel relieved, but at the same time, I feel sad.

First update, I wish everyone a healthy Dragon Boat Festival! Thank you for your support! Sincere thanks!
