It was the 20th of December, 1937. In the winter night at the end of the year, Zhou Weiguo was waiting by the Huai River in the north of Huainan with more than 7,000 people. The system had already told him that the weapons and ammunition would be delivered to him through the Huai River tonight.
Zhou Weiguo did not know where the system got the people to transport the ammunition. He had once thought of using the system to transport the logistics for him, but the system had rejected him. The system was only responsible for providing ammunition. I'm not responsible for transporting logistics and supplies for you.
In terms of weapons and ammunition, you could ask for as much as you wanted, but in terms of transportation, that was impossible.
If it doesn't work, then it doesn't work! Zhou Weiguo did not fully count on the system.
This time, the system had sent over quite a lot of weapons and equipment from the Weapons and Equipment Division. There was also a heavy artillery regiment.
En, the Heavy Artillery Regiment doesn't have many cannons. It's a strengthened artillery regiment.
There were 14 120mm howitzers and 10 120mm cannons. Don't worry, how could the reward given by the system be so little?
In addition, there were 24 155 caliber howitzers. When Zhou Weiguo saw this caliber cannon, he almost cursed.
To be honest, under the current circumstances, Zhou Weiguo would rather have all the 120-caliber cannons. As for why he did not want the 155-caliber heavy artillery, it was because damn it, Zhou Weiguo lacked artillery talents!
There was only a small portion of the artillery in this group of defeated soldiers. Moreover, they were all using 75mm mountain cannons. There were not many wild artillery.
For example, the 120-caliber cannon was something they could barely play with. This was because these artillery soldiers had also learned it when they first learned it, but the accuracy was very low.
As for the 155-caliber cannon, only those who graduated from the Central Military Academy's artillery department could play with it. These artillery soldiers didn't even learn the 155-caliber cannon when they were learning. Why didn't they learn it?
Those who taught them at that time would never have thought that they would be equipped with such a caliber cannon. What was the point of learning it? It was a waste of time and energy! Moreover, many of the people who taught him didn't know how to do it themselves!
What do you want him to teach? Empty cannon?
Fortunately, Zhou Weiguo and Sun Xinpu, two top students who studied in Germany, knew how to play with the 155 caliber artillery. Although they had studied in Germany and learned the most about special operations, it didn't mean that they had never come into contact with the 155 caliber artillery.
When the time came, he would teach the basic knowledge to the artillery, and the rest would be trained with live ammunition. In Zhou Weiguo's words, he lacked manpower and money, but he did not lack ammunition. If you want ten million cannonballs, I can give it to you.

"Traveler, coming! He was here! Look, a fleet is coming!"
Xu Hu, who was beside Zhou Weiguo, said loudly.
"I know. Why are you shouting?"
Zhou Weiguo looked at Xu Hu with a reproachful look. Xu Hu had already been promoted to be the captain of his company.
Then, a long fleet of ships appeared in front of everyone. These transport ships from the Huai River were all oil-fueled. The sound of the engine could be heard from afar. The searchlights on them let everyone know about them.
It couldn't be helped. With so many weapons and ammunition, a wooden boat definitely wouldn't work. After all, Zhou Weiguo had received a lot of ammunition this time. There were five million rounds of 98K rifle bullets and three million rounds of Browning heavy machine gun bullets. In addition, there were five million rounds of Bren light machine gun bullets.
Originally, Zhou Weiguo wanted to extract some semi-automatic rifles here. However, the system said that Zhou Weiguo's army was not enough and his territory was too small. Now that it was only Huainan, he needed more territory and troops to extract them.
Alright, Zhou Weiguo admitted it. After this battle was over, Zhou Weiguo would occupy the entire Lianghuai region no matter what.
As the fleet drew closer, the soldiers on the shore could not help but drool. With so many weapons and equipment, how many people were carrying them!
Of course, there were a lot of weapons and equipment on it. This was enough to equip 15,000 people, and this did not include the Heavy Artillery Regiment. If the Heavy Artillery Regiment was included, there would be even more.
"Everyone, listen to me. Move the weapons and ammunition to the designated location. We will start distributing them tomorrow!”
Zhou Weiguo saw that these people were eager to give it a try and could not help but shout at the top of his lungs.
"Good!"
When the fleet reached the shore, the soldiers did not care about the cold of the river and quickly jumped into the water to carry weapons and ammunition. Fortunately, there was no high tide in winter, so the water only submerged the soldiers 'calves. The transport ships could not all get close. After all, the water on the shore was shallow, and the things on board were very heavy. They were all weapons and ammunition. It would be strange if they were not heavy.
Boxes of weapons, boxes of bullets, grenades, and cannons were unloaded from the transport ship.
"Weiguo, how many weapons and ammunition did Old Master send us? Moreover, so many weapons and ammunition would probably cost a lot of money!”
Sun Xinpu stood by Zhou Weiguo's side, feeling a little puzzled. This wasn't to say that Sun Xinpu suspected that there was something wrong with Zhou Weiguo. It was just pure doubt. After all, the amount of money needed to buy so many weapons and ammunition was not a small sum.
Zhou Weiguo approached Sun Xinpu with a smile and said,""Xinpu, if I tell you, don't tell anyone else!”
"Don't worry! How can I tell others about us brothers?”
"All of this is thanks to the Japanese. When the Japanese occupied the area from Nanjing to Shanghai, they burned, killed, and looted. Many people in the Jiangsu and Zhejiang consortia were harmed by the Japanese. Previously, it was only my father who supported me in the war, but later, because we killed the Japanese in Wuji township. Those people all hope that we can grow stronger and chase the Japanese out.
You also know that I had some connections in Germany back then, so my father contacted other people in the Jiangsu and Zhejiang financial groups to invest together. I pulled strings and bought a large number of weapons and ammunition from those foreigners.”
"Zhou Weiguo, even I didn't know about this. Now that you've got a big leg, when this battle is over, I'm going to beat up the rich!”
Sun Xinpu said with a smile.
"Alright! Let's talk about that. When the time comes, we'll call Shengsheng and the others. We'll go and have a good meal together. But this time, we have to fight well. I've already received news that the Japanese are furious this time. They've sent several divisions to surround and attack us. If we don't fight well, we'll have to meet in the King of Hell's Palace!”
"Weiguo, don't worry! This time, we have the geographical advantage, and behind us are the troops of the 5th Battle Area, Officer Li. If the Japanese want to attack from the front, they can't!”
