"Xiao Liuzi, go find the 9th division of the central army first. I will wait for you here.”
The two of them entered Shanghai from the French concession and found an empty warehouse. This warehouse was within the bombing range of the Japanese cannons, so it was not used as a military storage point, which made it convenient for Wang Qiangguo.
"Young Master, be careful!"
Xiao Liuzi answered straightforwardly. They tried their best to avoid the concentrated artillery fire, but what if there were stray bullets? It was better for Young Master to hide in the warehouse than to run around in the open space.
The Japanese bombing of Shanghai never stopped. The 3rd and 4th fleets, the ground bomber planes, the 2nd Independent Mountain Cannon Regiment, the 5th and 6th Field Artillery Brigade, and the artillery regiments and battalions under the various divisions played a bloody song for the defenders of Shanghai.
After sending Xiao Liuzi away, Wang Qiangguo could exchange for equipment without worry. This time, his mission was to lead the army to destroy 1,000 Japanese soldiers. It was impossible for him to go to the battlefield to command, and it was impossible for him to join the General Staff immediately after joining the 9th Division. Therefore, his only way was to gather the fleeing soldiers and equip them with the excellent weapons he provided.
"Rumble ~"
The sound of heavy objects being carried came from the street next door. Wang Qiangguo hesitated for a while, but he still secretly went forward to check. If he could meet the supply troops, this mission would not be difficult.
"Hey, brother!"
"Hmm?"
A soldier heard the shout and looked at Wang Qiangguo tiredly. The soldier looked quite miserable. His military uniform was almost like a beggar's. There were more than a dozen wounds all over his body. Fortunately, they were not deep. His face was also black from the explosion. He looked almost inhuman.
"Brother, may I ask which troop you are from?”
"Stay aside!"
The officer in the colonel's uniform sent the soldiers away while waving Wang Qiangguo away. There were many Japanese spies and traitors in Shanghai County, and they suffered a lot.
"You are the artillery unit, right?"
Seeing the heavy artillery that they were pushing and pulling, Wang Qiangguo knew that he had hit the jackpot. As long as he could get in touch with the artillery unit, not to mention the target of a thousand Japanese pirates, even ten thousand Japanese pirates would not be enough to kill them! He had a super cheat, and he could arm any number of troops to the teeth.
"Oh?"
The officer revealed a vigilant expression, and his right hand was placed on his gun.
"I have 50 German-made L/32S.FH18150mm howitzers!”
" Hahahahaha!!!"
The tired soldiers around them burst into laughter. They were the elites of the Central Army, the 10th Artillery Regiment, but they were only equipped with 24 cannons. This had greatly increased the financial pressure on the Central Army. Wang Qiangguo was just a commoner, yet he dared to say that there were fifty of them. He was not afraid that others would laugh their heads off.
"The 50 howitzers are stored in the warehouse dozens of meters away.”
[System, exchange for 50 L/32sFH18150mm Howitzers and 10,000 Howitzers at the marked location!] Exchange for 30 Flak 3820mm anti-aircraft guns and 30,000 anti-aircraft shells.
Wang Qiangguo had a better choice, but he didn't have his own power yet, so he couldn't expose too much. Moreover, this group of artillery was only familiar with German-made equipment, so he chose the equipment that the national artillery already had.
Yes!
"Hahahahaha!"
"Old Liang, accompany him to take a look."
"Guild Leader, you can't play with people like this, right?”
"I told you to go and you just went. You're not even willing to walk a few dozen meters?”
"Yes, yes, yes."
Old Liang followed Wang Qiangguo with a resentful expression. Who knew that after a while, he would come back rolling and crawling.
"Group, group leader, really, really, really…"
"If you have something to say, say it quickly!"
"It's true! It's all true!"
Elder Liang didn't care about seniority anymore. He grabbed the regiment commander's shoulder and ran towards the warehouse. The independent 10th Artillery Regiment had made great contributions in the early stages of the battle, relying on 24 150mm howitzers. Unfortunately, their anti-air firepower was insufficient. With the addition of the naval cannons, they had risked their lives to protect three heavy cannons. Two of them still needed maintenance, and the remaining one could not affect the battle at all.
However, 50 cannons were different. They were 50 heavy cannons, brand new 150mm German howitzers, and ammunition that filled the entire warehouse! If they could hit all of them accurately, it would be enough for the new 10th Army to die several times.
"Motherf * cker…"
As the commander of the 10th Independent Cannon Regiment, Peng Mengji had seen a lot of things, but his legs were still shaking. He was so excited that he couldn't control his excitement. This was a piece of equipment that could change the outcome of the battle!
"There are even anti-aircraft cannons! They were all brand new! The ammo is piled up like a mountain!"
Peng Mengji's loss of composure didn't attract the attention of the soldiers, because they were so shocked that their jaws almost fell off. They couldn't figure out how these 50 150mm howitzers had appeared here.
"Quick, contact the friendly forces! We need shooting parameters! Tell them that there are 50 heavy cannons that can provide fire support for them!”
"Quickly contact the brothers of the 5th Independent Cannon Regiment. Not enough! Get everyone who can fire!"
The independent 10th Artillery Regiment, which had already been reduced to half a regiment, could not operate 50 howitzers at the same time. At most, it could only operate a dozen howitzers.
The officers and soldiers were actually more anxious than Wang Qiangguo. They had been bullied for so long and had been hiding for more than a month. More than half of their brothers had died. Now, they could finally vent their anger.
"I thank you on behalf of all the brothers in the army!”
Peng Mengji bowed deeply to Wang Qiangguo, his gratitude overflowing. Ever since Germany had become friendly with the Japanese pirates, their supply of German-made equipment had basically been cut off. Even the defective 150mm howitzer was something they didn't dare to think about.
"There's no need to thank me. It's my responsibility to fight against the Japanese and save the country. However, can you give me a regiment advisor position?”
"No problem! I am Peng Mengji, the commander of the 10th Independent Artillery Regiment. Two of the original advisors have been sacrificed, so you are now officially appointed as the advisor of the 10th Independent Artillery Regiment.”
Although this wasn't in accordance with the rules, it wasn't like there was no precedent for a frontline appointment. Furthermore, Wang Qiangguo had made a contribution that could influence the entire battle.
"I am Wang Qiangguo, a playboy.”
"If there were more playboys like Brother Wang, I wouldn't dare!”
"Brother Peng is too kind. To be honest, I don't know much about artillery.”
"You'll learn it if you learn more!"
Elder Liang heavily patted Wang Qiangguo's back twice. He now found Wang Qiangguo pleasing to the eye. The resentment he had just now had been swept away. A total of 50 German-made 150mm howitzers. Even the current Central Army could not take them out. Their equipment had already been exhausted.
"That's right, that's right. Instructor Liang was also born with a muddy background.”
With the brand-new cannons and endless ammunition, the group of artillery became lively again and began to tease Instructor Liang.
"You bunch of brats, hurry up and build the artillery position!”
There was a muddy ground outside the warehouse that could be used. In addition to the scattered artillery that came one after another after hearing the news, more than a thousand artillery and other defeated soldiers barely built the most basic artillery position.
The trucks used to transport the heavy artillery had all been blown up. Fortunately, they had recruited enough horses and donkeys. Some of the villagers even brought their own cattle over when they heard that they were going to pull brand-new heavy artillery to fight the Japanese pirates. During the 14 years of the war, there were many traitors, but there were even more heroes.
"Brother Wang, once we open fire later, we will soon be retaliated. Brother Wang, it is best to stay away from this place of trouble.”
Compared to Wang Guoqiang's life and death, Peng Mengji was more concerned about Wang Guoqiang's way to import heavy artillery from Germany. This was more important than ten artillery regiments.
"As the advisor of the 10th Independent Artillery Regiment, how can I leave my post without permission! Don't worry, I've already arranged everything."
Wang Guoqiang also wanted to run further away, but he had to participate in the command. At the very least, he had to be here. Otherwise, the system wouldn't judge him dead.
"Good! A real man should be like this!"
"Report! The shooting elements had been adjusted! Requesting to shoot!"
After Elder Liang received the location information provided by the friendly army, he kicked and scolded the fifty howitzer positions to adjust the elevation angle and complete the preparations.
"Fire permitted!"
"Two rapid shots, ready to fire!”
