"Battalion Commander Zhang."
"Brother Bai Xian is too polite, just call me Big Biao.”
Looking at Bai Xian walking over, Zhang Dabiao rubbed his hands in anticipation and asked Bai Xian,"
"Brother Bai Xian, the mortar company you promised me last time..."
"Hehe ~~ Big Biao…I think I should call you Battalion Commander Zhang. Dabiao feels weird.”
Bai Xian pointed at the last truck and said with a smile,"
"Here, your mortar company and your regiment commander's Type 5 - 6 automatic rifle are in this car.”
"Considering that I've already given your Regiment Commander Li two 90mm Type 97 mortars, I specially changed the mortar I gave you to a smaller caliber so that it can be used with the two Type 97 mortars.
However, the power of the Japanese small-caliber mortars is too small (the caliber is only 45mm, which is not as big as the grenade launcher), so I took the initiative to change your mortar company to the American M2 mortar, a total of six.”
As Bai Xian spoke, the system's transport soldier had already moved the M2 mortar from the truck. Bai Xian opened the box containing the M2 mortar and introduced it,"
"M2 Mortar, an imitation of the French Blond 60mm light mortar. Since 1938, it has been equipped with rows of American infantry mortars, four in each row. The caliber was 60mm, the range was 91-1840 meters, the maximum firing rate was 30 rounds per minute, and the total weight of the cannon was 19.07 kg. The power and range of the Type 92 infantry cannon were incomparable to the Japanese, but it was light and fast.”
"What a cannon ~~"
Hearing Bai Xian's introduction, Zhang Dabiao's eyes widened. He squatted down and caressed the M2 mortar as if he was caressing his lover. Saliva dripped down from the corner of his mouth.
Li Yunlong, who was robbed by the Deputy Chief of Staff, walked over with a sour face. Hearing Bai Xian's introduction, Li Yunlong, who was already depressed, immediately cursed in displeasure,"
"Damn, why is this American so rich? A platoon with four mortars, even more domineering than the Japanese!”
"Haha, after all, the United States is now the number one industrial country. Of course, the Japanese can't compare to it.”
The deputy chief of staff explained to Li Yunlong with a smile on his face.
Seeing the mortar on the ground, Li Yunlong rolled his eyes and said to the deputy chief of staff,"
"Hey, hehe ~ About that, old chief, this mortar company was obtained by Zhang Dabiao after he saved Brother Bai Xian. The headquarters would be too embarrassed to let the new group…Ah, no, let Zhang Dabiao turn it in?”
" Li Yunlong, you…"
Seeing Li Yunlong's funny look, the deputy chief of staff didn't know whether to laugh or cry. However, he doted on Li Yunlong enough, so he said generously,
"Alright, I'll leave these six mortars to you. However, I want your remaining Type 97 mortar as well.”
“……”
Was there any justice left?
One 90mm mortar for six 60mm mortars…
Forget it, it was not a loss.
Li Yunlong, who had been stabbed again, could only comfort himself in his heart.
The deputy chief of staff, who had gotten another mortar for free, was also very happy. He immediately asked Bai Xian with a smile,
"By the way, Mr. Bai Xian, do you want to stay for lunch? If you want, I'll get the new regiment to treat you well as a token of the 8th Route Army's gratitude.”
"Hehe ~~ Left General invited me, how could I not honor you?”
Bai Xian was very respectful towards this highest-ranking general of the Eighth Route Army who had died in the war. He immediately agreed and turned to the system transport soldier beside him.
"Alright, you can leave now."
"Yes, sir!"
The system's transport soldier saluted, then left behind a truck and drove the rest of the truck away from the new regiment's base. Only the two bodyguards that Bai Xian had specially exchanged for followed Bai Xian into the village.
Seeing this, the Deputy Chief of Staff gave his guards a few words of advice and then warmly welcomed Bai Xian into the new regiment's station. Li Yunlong and Zhang Dabiao were about to follow him in when they heard the Deputy Chief of Staff's guard say,"
"Regiment Commander Li, the Bureau Chief asked me to borrow your transport company to transport the weapons and equipment that we agreed on earlier back to the headquarters.”
“……”
Was there a need to be so anxious?
Li Yunlong cursed in his heart, but on the surface, he had to put on a smile that was uglier than crying. He said to the guard,
"There's no hurry, right? When the old general leaves, I'll get the transportation company to go back to the headquarters with you.”
"That won't do."
The guard held back his laughter and said,
"The Bureau Chief specifically told me that if I leave this batch of weapons with you for a few days, Regiment Commander Li might secretly exchange the old guns in the army for this batch of new guns and secretly hide a batch of ammunition.”
“……”
F * ck, how did the old chief know what he was thinking?
……
"Come, Mr. Bai Xian, this is Li Yunlong's secret collection of Fen wine. I'll lend you a flower to offer to Buddha..."
"Uh, sorry."
Fangzheng's square table was filled with a banquet that had been meticulously prepared by the cooks. In order to entertain Bai Xian, the God of Fortune, the new group spent all the money left in their pockets and bought a lot of food and wine from their fellow countrymen. Only then did they set up a few decent banquets.
The deputy chief of staff, who was sitting in the main seat, stood up and poured wine into Bai Xian's bowl. This made Bai Xian look embarrassed.
"General Zuo, I don't drink white wine. I only drink Chinese liquors and foreign beer.”
"What? this... Sorry, sorry."
Bai Xian's explanation made the Deputy Chief of Staff feel awkward. Li Yunlong's brain worked quickly. He quickly poured a bowl of tea into his own bowl and then exchanged his bowl with Bai Xian's.
"Old Chief, it's fine. Since Brother Bai Xian was not used to drinking white wine, he would replace it with tea. Come, Brother Bai Xian, let's have a toast."
"F * ck!"
The bowls collided with each other on the table, and Li Yunlong took a bowl of wine and gulped it down. After a few bowls of Fenjiu, the atmosphere at the table suddenly became lively.
As everyone ate, Li Yunlong seemed to want to drink to his heart's content, so he kept toasting Bai Xian. Bai Xian, who was full of tea, didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
The Deputy Chief of Staff noticed Bai Xian's embarrassment. He immediately snatched Li Yunlong's Fen wine and told him to go to another table to drink. Then, he chatted with Bai Xian enthusiastically. Of course, he didn't forget to ask about Bai Xian's background.
Bai Xian, who was prepared for this, smiled and said,"
"In fact, I'm a member of the Nanyang Patriotic Overseas Chinese Military Support Investigation Group. The reason why I came to Jin Province this time is to inspect your army.”
" Military aid inspection team?"
Hearing this name, the deputy chief of staff was stunned for a moment and was a little puzzled.
This organization…I've never heard of it.
"Hehe, it's normal that you haven't heard of the Deputy Chief of Staff. We are the overseas Chinese of Southeast Asia. After all, we live in the colonies of the foreign powers. We can donate money and materials to the war of our motherland. We can provide weapons to support the war on a small scale. If we provide military assistance to the anti-Japanese forces on a large scale, the Japanese will put pressure on us through the colonial government of the foreign powers. Therefore, our organization can only operate in secret.”
"Oh, I see ~~"
The Deputy Chief of Staff nodded thoughtfully. He did not doubt Bai Xian's explanation, but he did not believe it completely either.
In this regard, Bai Xian did not expect the Eighth Route Army to believe whatever he said. After all, he had the system behind him, so he was not afraid of the Eighth Route Army investigating. From another perspective, even if the Eighth Route Army found out that there was something wrong with his identity, the weapons and equipment he provided were genuine. Therefore, even if the Eighth Route Army knew that he was not an overseas Chinese from Nanyang, they would pretend to know nothing and continue to treat him as a distinguished guest.
