The next morning, not only was there a new regiment in Xujia 'ao, but there was also a supply unit that Chen Geng had transferred. It was about the size of two battalions.
At this moment, all the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army were busy moving supplies.
Two hours later, all the supplies were loaded onto the truck, and then they began to set off for the Eighth Route Army headquarters, Great Xia Bay.
Today's new regiment was also eye-catching. Not only were they dressed in uniform combat uniforms, but they also carried shiny American automatic rifles on their backs. There were grenades on their tactical vests, and rows of bullets wrapped around their belts.
He was wearing thick black military boots and a German M1935 helmet.
Every soldier in the new regiment was in high spirits.
At this moment, Lu Yan, who was wearing a combat uniform, looked at the long line in front of him. Everyone was wearing modern equipment. Lu Yan felt like he was watching a national military parade in the 21st century.
Li Yun Long, who was also riding on a horse, looked at the new group of warriors slowly moving forward and laughed non-stop.
Although Chen Geng had taken all five Type 92 cannons with him, Li Yun Long didn't care anymore. After all, the new regiment had obtained more weapons and equipment because of Lu Yan's distribution.
The small platoon had now become an artillery battalion. Not only did they have a large number of mortars, but they also had five 80mm cannons.
The entire regiment had changed their weapons and equipment. The original weapons were distributed by Brigadier General Chen Geng.
Li Yunlong was no longer interested in the original Japanese equipment. In his words, only American equipment could be used to equip the new regiment.
However, Li Yunlong was still a little resentful. Out of the twenty-five cannons, only five were left.
After Chen Geng heard this, he was so angry that he gave Li Yunlong a whip." You're too greedy. There are hundreds of regiments in the Eighth Route Army, and your new regiment has taken up one-fifth of them all at once. Are you still not satisfied? Are you going to let your other brothers starve?"
Moreover, these weapons and equipment were not the most important. Lu Yan was the biggest treasure.
Since Lu Yan had stayed in the new team, he would only have more weapons and equipment in the future.
Thinking of this, Li Yunlong woke up from his dreams laughing.
Nearly 10,000 automatic rifles, as well as the remaining light machine guns and artillery, would definitely greatly increase the combat strength of the 8th Route Army.
Xujia 'ao was about 20 miles away from Great Summer Bay, but it was mostly mountain roads, so it would be more difficult to walk.
However, the 8th Route Army was already used to walking on mountain roads. Once they were surrounded, they would hide in the ravines.
Lu Yan frowned slightly as he watched his teammate slowly walk forward.
When Chen Geng, who was traveling with them, saw this, he asked curiously,""Mr. Lu, is there anything wrong?”
Lu Yan replied," Currently, the Eighth Route Army is relatively weak. Therefore, it is indeed very beneficial for guerrilla warfare to be stationed near Taihang Mountain. However, at the same time, the troops will also be restricted. In the long run, it is not a good thing for the troops.
"Soon, our Eighth Route Army will also have tanks, artillery, and even planes and fighter jets. At that time, we will have to build an airport. The mountains are full of twists and turns, and they are all small mountain roads. For our armed forces, it is too difficult to enter and exit.”
Chen Geng's heart was in turmoil after hearing Lu Yan's words. He couldn't help but marvel at Lu Yan's far-sighted gaze. At the same time, he was also shocked by Lu Yan's calm tone. Could it be that it was easy for him to obtain aircraft and cannons?
However, looking at the thousands of tons of supplies in front of him and thinking about the dozens of large transport planes mentioned by the new regiment, Chen Geng calmed down a lot.
Perhaps in front of him, planes and tanks were legendary items, but to Lu Yan, it was probably too simple.
Chen Geng looked at Lu Yan." Mr. Lu, you're right. What do you think?"”
Lu Yan thought for a moment and said," I think we can make some preparations first. We can first find some flat mountains on Taiping Mountain. We must also find a place where the Japanese are not easy to come into contact with. Safety is our priority. Then, we can start building an airport. When the aircraft and supplies arrive, we can enter the battlefield as soon as possible.”
Although Lu Yan did not know when the system would reward him with a plane, it was better to be prepared.
Moreover, building an airport was a big project that would take a long time.
However, this matter was related to the Eighth Route Army's ability to control their own fighter jets. Therefore, Chen Geng was very concerned about this, and his heart was burning like a fire.
Therefore, Chen Geng had already made up his mind. After settling the matter of supplies, he would raise this matter with Vice President Peng. Even if he could not build an airport immediately, he needed to prepare things first.
After a whole morning, the troops finally arrived at the headquarters at noon.
Looking at the new uniform, the soldiers in the headquarters were all envious and discussing.
But soon, the order was given, ordering all the soldiers to start moving the supplies.
As the current headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, Great Summer Bay still had a large number of storage warehouses. However, at this moment, they were already filled with all kinds of materials and a large number of poultry. In an instant, Great Summer Bay was bustling with activity.
Suddenly, Chen Geng led Vice President Peng and Division Commander Liu towards Lu Yan.
" Boss," Chen Geng reported." The overseas rescue organization donated a total of 12,000 automatic rifles…" 300 tons of daily and medical supplies…ammunition…"
After Chen Geng read out all the resources, the soldiers in the headquarters were all excited and cheered.
It was estimated that it would not be long before the officers of the various troops would break through the threshold of the headquarters. It was rare for the Eighth Route Army to have so many supplies.
Vice-President Peng had already made arrangements for this. These supplies would definitely be distributed to the various troops so that they could better attack the Japanese.
Moreover, Vice President Peng now had a higher opinion of Lu Yan. He also understood why the Northwest side valued Lu Yan so much.
Vice President Peng really wanted to thank him in person because he was too busy.
After a short ceremony, Lu Yan officially joined the Eighth Route Army.
Although Vice President Peng wanted Lu Yan to stay in the headquarters, he still asked for his opinion.
However, Lu Yan had already made up his mind. He suggested to Vice President Peng that he wanted to stay in the new regiment.
Lu Yan felt that since he had returned to the country, he was no longer a leader. Instead, he should join the battlefield and constantly sharpen himself. Therefore, the frontline troops were the most suitable for him.
Vice President Peng agreed.
Then, he called Chen Geng and Li Yunlong over to discuss which position was most suitable for Lu Yan.
