The sound of the truck rang throughout the night. The soldiers in the barracks did not sleep well. When they woke up early in the morning, they were all cursing. However, when they came out of their tents, they saw eight tanks, six 75mm howitzers, twelve 57mm anti-war cannons, and a shocking number of mortars parked neatly in the open space of the barracks.
"Oh my god, this is our team's equipment? Which foreigner's arsenal did our regiment commander steal last night?”
"Bastard, this tank is probably bigger than the Japanese's tank, right?”
"Tsk tsk, I didn't expect this. Our regiment commander really meant what he said. He said that we should have better equipment than the Japanese, and he really did. This cannon is definitely more powerful than the Japanese's mountain cannon infantry cannon.”
The sudden appearance of the heavy equipment made the soldiers excited. With this equipment, they were confident that they could compete with the Japanese.
They all looked at the equipment eagerly and wanted to touch it, but the military police with white stripes on their helmets guarded the weapons and did not let them get close.
"Alright, alright, go have breakfast. After breakfast, you will be given guns. By then, you will know what equipment you have. I will tell you that every squad has a machine gun, every company has a mortar, and every battalion has a heavy mortar.”Lin Yi said proudly as if all the equipment belonged to him.
Everyone was even more excited now. One by one, they hurried to the canteen to eat. They saw that the female soldiers were already there. They lined up neatly to receive breakfast.
The girls had been recuperating for a month. Although their skin was still a little dark and their figures were not very good, they were all young and beautiful. Their eyes flashed with confidence.
The male soldiers had never seen such a girl. She stared at them like a pig, causing the female soldiers to roll their eyes at them. It was obvious that they did not like them.
Meng Fan, on the other hand, had seen girls like this when he was in Bei Du. The girls in modern university halls were as confident as these soldiers, but not as valiant.
After breakfast, a military policeman came to inform everyone to gather in the open space. Today, there would be a gun ceremony and a general meeting.
After more than a month of training, the discipline of the entire team had been greatly strengthened. They were notified to gather. In less than 15 minutes, the entire team, except for the necessary members who stayed behind, gathered on the empty ground and quietly waited for their regiment commander.
A few minutes later, Zhou Heng strode up to the stage and looked at the solemn team. Zhou Heng was very satisfied. He held the loudspeaker and said loudly," Everyone, I have bad news. Yesterday, our ally, the British army, lost the whole of Malaysia. Now, the Japanese are preparing to attack Myanmar. Our only foreign aid channel, the Yunnan-Myanmar Road, is likely to be cut off in the next two months.”
This was an absolutely important piece of news, but many of the soldiers below were confused. They had no idea where Malaysia was, nor did they know the importance of the Yunnan-Myanmar highway. Lin Yi, Meng Fan, Chen Degong, and the others who had studied knew how powerful this was, and they all looked surprised.
After all, the English Empire was a veteran empire. They had not expected that they would be defeated so quickly and even perform worse than them.
Seeing everyone's confusion, Zhou Heng knew that they might not understand. He continued to explain," Along the Yunnan-Myanmar highway, the Japanese can attack all the way to Chanda. Do you understand now?”
Whoosh! Everyone exploded in discussion, and many people even looked terrified.
"What are you arguing about? Do you think that you are born worse than the Japanese? No, I can see that you guys are much stronger than the Japanese after more than a month of training. I'll give you guys weapons that are even stronger than the Japanese. When the time comes, we'll definitely beat them up. We can't just wait for them in Chanda. We have to go to Myanmar to fight them.”
Zhou Heng shouted calmly. Only then did everyone come back to their senses. They were no longer defeated soldiers. They were organized and had stronger weapons than the Japanese. If the Japanese attacked, they could compete with them.
"I can predict that by March, the Japanese will defeat the British army in Myanmar. At that time, in order to protect the Yunnan-Myanmar highway, we will definitely send troops into Myanmar. In other words, when we fight the Japanese, in order to defeat the Japanese and keep more people alive, everyone must train hard in the next two months.”
"I can do it, I can do it, I can do it!”
Waves of shouts rang out. Zhou Heng looked at his soldiers in relief. When the shouts stopped, he continued," Next, we will begin to hand out guns. All company commanders will come to collect their gun rations. Protect your guns well. They will be your most loyal comrades.”
After saying that, Zhou Heng got off the platform. The quartermaster of the quartermaster's office began to distribute the firearms. The company commanders of each company brought a platoon to collect the guns and distribute them. Everything was carried out in an orderly manner.
