Chapter 157 It’s so much faster than making it yourself!
Everyone looked towards the door, and a humanoid creature wrapped in gauze and wrapped like a mummy rushed in and shouted:
"Ser! If you want to rescue my companions, please take me with you!"
As soon as this person opened his mouth, everyone knew his identity.
That American pilot Tom.
"This……"
Qin Long was actually reluctant to bring along such a burden, after all, Tom was too weak.
But seeing that Qin Long wanted to refuse him, Tom continued:
"Ser! Please take me with you! I've already asked the doctor."
"She said there was nothing serious wrong with my body, just very weak, but as long as I ate well I would be fine."
"And I'm a pretty good marksman! I'm going to avenge my friends from Dragon Country!"
"Okay, Mr. Tom, we're in a meeting right now. You can go and have a rest. I'll call you when we're ready to leave."
I saw the hatred in Tom's eyes when he mentioned the people of Longguo who were brutally killed by the Japanese devils in order to protect him.
Qin Long finally nodded and agreed to Tom's request.
"Yessir! Ser!"
Tom saluted Qin Long directly, then strode out of the house.
"Comrade Qin Long, could you please repeat what you just said?"
As soon as Tom left, Fang Zhengming couldn't wait to ask.
Seeing the deep hope in Fang Zhengming's eyes, Qin Long also understood Fang Zhengming's current complex emotions of expectation and disbelief, and nodded:
"Minister Fang, you heard it right."
"During this feint attack on Tianjin, I happened to breach the wall of the Japanese arsenal."
“所以，这次战斗中小杨村区小队一共缴获了200门九二式步兵炮、4万发步兵炮炮弹、510挺九二式重机枪和510万发92式机枪弹。”
"Good heavens!"
After confirming that what he had heard was true, Fang Zhengming couldn't even think of complaining about how Qin Long's feint attack on Tianjin ended up targeting the arsenal...
This news really shocked him! This batch of heavy weapons arrived just in time!
Others may not know this, but Fang Zhengming, as the deputy director of the logistics department, knows everything about our army's weapons and equipment!
Our army is currently extremely short of heavy weapons!
Fang Zhengming has all the data here.
Take heavy machine guns for example. At the beginning of 1940, our army had 1590 light and heavy machine guns, of which 510 were heavy machine guns.
However, since last July, when General Okamura Yasuji took over as commander-in-chief of the Japanese North China Front Army, he has vigorously promoted and implemented the "Three Alls" policy.
During this period, General Okamura Yasuji carried out a series of large-scale mopping-up operations against our army's bases.
Therefore, due to war losses and equipment upgrades, as of this year, the number of heavy machine guns equipped by our army has been reduced to only 188...
As for artillery, there is even more shortage!
The statistics Fang Zhengming has here are from 1940. According to statistics, the actual number of artillery pieces in the entire army includes 38 mountain guns, 9 flat-fire guns, and 156 mortars.
That is to say, the total number of artillery pieces in the entire army is only 203.
Although the Logistics Department has not counted the number of artillery pieces of our army this year, judging from the significant reduction in the number of heavy machine guns, the current number of artillery pieces of our army will only be less optimistic!
Therefore, Fang Zhengming reacted so strongly to Qin Long's surrender of 200 artillery pieces, 4 artillery shells, 510 heavy machine guns and 510 million machine gun rounds at one time!
This includes Chen Wu, who just jumped up on the spot. He is the guard of the commander of the logistics department.
Ever since General Okamura Yasuji came to power, Commander Bai's hair has turned gray due to worrying about the source of heavy weapons for our army...
So Fang Zhengming stood up excitedly and walked in front of Qin Long. Qin Long also stood up when he saw this.
"Comrade Qin Long! Thank you so much!"
Fang Zhengming grabbed Qin Long's hands and said sincerely:
"Our army is currently in dire need of heavy weapons. Comrade Qin Long, this gift from you is truly timely!"
"I will report your contribution immediately! Thank you so much! Thank you!"
As he spoke, Fang Zhengming's eyes became moist...
A few days ago, he received an order from the General Headquarters saying that the troops under him had surrendered a batch of weapons and ammunition.
In particular, there are many heavy weapons, including 300 Type 272 heavy machine guns, more than 93 million rounds of bullets, Type infantry guns, and a large number of artillery shells.
Plus the batch of heavy weapons that Qin Long has handed over!
After the distribution, the combat effectiveness of our army will at least increase several times!
"and many more!"
At this moment, an idea that seemed almost absurd to Fang Zhengming flashed through his mind!
"Captain Qin, our logistics department received an order from the headquarters a few days ago stating that the troops below had seized a batch of weapons and ammunition."
"Among them, there are a full 300 Type heavy machine guns. Were you also the ones who surrendered them?"
"Yes, I also handed them in, but they haven't been shipped yet, so they're still piled up in the warehouse."
Qin Long nodded as Fang Zhengming looked incredulous.
"But I've already discussed it with Commander Ding of the New 386st Regiment of the th Brigade. I'll find time to send all those things directly to Wei County by truck."
"Captain Ding said that as long as we get them to Wei County, the rest will be easy."
Hearing Qin Long say this, Fang Zhengming's mouth twitched and he really wanted to ask, Captain Qin, you didn't rob the North China Front Army's main arsenal, did you?
What kind of seizure efficiency is this?! It's countless times faster than making it yourself!
But then Fang Zhengming realized that this was not the time to think about these things:
"Captain Qin, don't worry. Although Wei County has a large base for us, the Japanese are keeping a close eye on us."
"Let me think about it and see if there is a better way to distribute these weapons and ammunition more efficiently."
Qin Long has no objection:
"Minister Fang, I've handed over all the stuff. Since you're in charge of logistics, you have the final say on how to transport it."
"Row!"
Fang Zhengming nodded:
"I'll contact them right away."
After saying that, Fang Zhengming called Chen Wu and Lao Li to go out together.
"Well...but we have to hurry, the warehouse is really full..."
At this time, Qin Long's voice came from behind.
When Fang Zhengming heard Qin Long's words, he lost his balance and almost fell down. Fortunately, Chen Wu was there to pull him up.
After the three of them left, Qin Long said to Chu Yunfei:
"Brother Yunfei, go back and get some rest. We'll set off early tomorrow morning."
"it is good."
Chu Yunfei nodded and left.
Early the next morning.
Qin Long gathered everyone together.
As usual, an 88mm anti-aircraft artillery battalion and a 40mm anti-aircraft artillery battalion were left behind to guard the house.
In addition, there are 800 people left out of the 78 new recruits recruited by Lao Li this time, and they also stay to look after the house.
Qin Long planned to take all the others out.
However, what made Qin Long feel a little funny was that Tom did not return to the medical team last night, but slept directly on the Dongfanghong LT665 that brought him back.
He was obviously afraid that Qin Long would not take him with him.
after an hour.
"set off!"
Qin Long gave the order, and the mighty armored force headed towards Dezhou...
