Li Yan stayed with Su Jingyao and Su Meiyi for more than an hour in the lobby of the Li Mansion before he left.
Li Yan first went to the Li family's warehouse and exchanged the 150,000 yuan sent by the Su family for exchange points. Then, he immediately went to the 108th division's encampment.
After arriving at the encampment, Li Yan ordered 200 clone soldiers to leave. Then, he drove the Japanese military truck that he had captured earlier and left Nanzhang County.
The day before yesterday, Shen Yanling had already said that the 217th Brigade was gathering and would set off in the next few days. Their primary goal was to recapture Nanzhang County and destroy the 108th Division.
The 217th Brigade had more than 7000 members. It was a full fledged exploration team, and its combat strength could not be underestimated. Li Yan needed to immediately retrieve the weapons and equipment in the warehouse and equip the recruits of the 108th Division. He wanted them to familiarize themselves with the operation of the Type 56 rifle as soon as possible so that they could improve their shooting accuracy.
This time, the amount of weapons and equipment that Li Yan had retrieved was not a small amount. He needed to hide it from the public instead of directly retrieving it like before.
It was not a big deal to do it once. If he kept extracting it like this, it would inevitably arouse suspicion. That was why Li Yan brought the clone soldiers and drove the truck away from Nanzhang County.
In front of the clone, Li Yan naturally had nothing to keep a secret. He could do whatever he wanted!
As night fell, a convoy of 26 military trucks sped along the yellow road outside Nanzhang County.
In the truck in the middle, Li Yan focused his mind and called out the system,""Help me bring up the system store interface!”
"Respected host, please wait a moment!”
After the system store opened, Li Yan immediately switched to the cannon exchange interface.
The 108th Division now had 12 152 Heavy Artillery Cannons and 147 Slap Cannons. Such an artillery configuration was obviously unreasonable.
They had enough mortars and no need to exchange for large-caliber heavy artillery. However, the 108th Division still lacked medium-sized artillery that could move faster and fire faster.
After a round of selection, a type of cannon appeared in Li Yan's line of sight.
Type-45 75mm Mountain Cannon: A small-caliber mountain cannon that the Japanese army equipped at the end of World War II. It is light and can be moved quickly. It is suitable for mountain battles, street battles, and many other terrain battles. It weighs 0.7 tons, has a total length of 3.8 meters, a barrel length of 1.3 meters, a caliber of 75 mm, a firing rate of 11 rounds per minute, and a maximum range of 6300 meters. Its exchange price is 5000 exchange points.
[M101 Howitzer: A light howitzer that the US army upgraded in the 1960s. It is easy to transport, easy to disassemble, and has fierce firepower. It is the perfect support firepower for a division. It weighs 2.2 tons, has a total length of 5.9 meters, a caliber of 105 millimeters, and has a maximum range of 11 kilometers. The maximum firing rate is 8 rounds per minute. The exchange price is 40,000 exchange points per howitzer.]
Looking at these two cannons, Li Yan thought about his exchange points. He still had 1.5 million points, so he could use 800,000 points to exchange for cannons. The rest would be used to exchange for bullets and shells.
"800,000 exchange points, how do we split it?”Li Yan pondered quietly.
These two types of cannons had their own uses. One was a battalion-level support cannon, and the other was a regiment-level support cannon.
Simply put, the 75mm mountain cannon was used for small troops, while the 105mm howitzer was used for large troops.
Of course, if you were rich enough, you could just mount a 255mm super heavy cannon.
After thinking for a long time, Li Yan said to the system,""Help me exchange for 8 M101 Howitzers and 96 Type 45 75mm Mountain Cannons.”
"Respected host, please wait a moment!”
Soon, 800,000 points were deducted, and the cannons appeared in the system warehouse.
Since Li Yan already had 12 155mm heavy artillery, he only exchanged for 8 105mm howitzers.
In this way, he had 20 medium and large-caliber howitzers, 96 75mm mountain cannons, and 147 60mm mortars.
This kind of firepower configuration, in the entire land of China, whether it was in the Japanese army or in the national army, it would be a suppressive artillery firepower.
After all, the 217th Brigade that was about to attack did not have any medium or large-caliber howitzers. They only had 72 75mm mountain cannons.
In the entire Xiangcheng area, only the 101st Division's artillery battalion was equipped with 12 105mm howitzers.
Moreover, the howitzers that the 101st Division was equipped with were models that were produced more than ten years ago. Their firepower was far inferior to Li Yan's howitzers. The difference in technology between the two was more than 30 years.
Around midnight, the truck convoy driven by the clones arrived at the designated location. It was a plain.
After the car stopped, Li Yan immediately got out of the car and asked the system to retrieve the weapons and equipment in the system warehouse.
Of course, for the sake of confidentiality, Li Yan did not retrieve the cannons and anti-aircraft guns. He only retrieved the Type 56 semi-automatic rifle and the M60 general machine gun.
Big weapons like cannons, howitzers, and anti-aircraft guns could not be hidden at all. If the 217th Brigade knew that the 108th Division was equipped with these big weapons, they would definitely not dare to come.
Therefore, Li Yan was prepared to set up these big guys in advance on the day of the battle, and then the clone soldiers would control them.
Half an hour later, all the rifles and machine guns were loaded onto the truck.
Then, Li Yan used up his points and exchanged for bullets and shells.
As there were too many items to be exchanged, Li Yan ordered most of the clone soldiers to stay where they were. He led the truck brigade back to Nanzhang County first and then came back to transport them.
Li Yan was busy all the way until dawn when he finally transported everything back to Nanzhang County.
The sun had just risen, and the sun was shining brightly. On the drill ground of the 108th Division's camp, large wooden boxes were piled up one after another. From afar, they looked like two small mountains, and it was very shocking.
At the same time, the soldiers of the 108th Division stood at the periphery and watched from afar.
"Why did Master bring so many green wooden boxes back? What's inside?" A recruit was very surprised.
"You don't know about this, right? It's obvious that this is a firearms box.”A veteran explained.
"Weapons? Heavens, there were so many wooden boxes. How many weapons were there?”Many recruits exclaimed.
Listening to the discussions around him, Li Yan rubbed his sleepy eyes. He called the three regiment commanders over and said,"How many rifles and machine guns do your regiments lack? You can distribute them yourselves. After a busy night, I'll go back first!”
"Master, these weapons were sold to you by Westerners?”Ma Kui could not help but ask.
"Take care of your Second Regiment. Why are there so many whys?”Li Yan glared at Ma Kui and couldn't be bothered with him. He strode away.
"It's so early in the morning, did Master eat gunpowder?”Ma Kui looked at Li Yong and Qian Sihai, the two regiment commanders, and complained in a low voice.
