After forcing away the officers who were sent by the Expeditionary Force Headquarters to try to control Tang Cheng and the others, Tang Cheng and the defeated soldiers were finally free. However, Tang Cheng could not be idle yet. He had to receive the weapons brought by Mike first.
The first batch of US military weapons and equipment. George, who stayed in Liduo near the water tower, changed into a brand new US military uniform early, which made them envious of the dice who followed Tangcheng to eliminate the Japanese army. They heard that they also had to wear the same uniform as George.
After receiving the American military uniforms, Dice and the others swarmed to Tangcheng to receive equipment from Mike.
Huang Hanju, who has been transferred to the joint force, will have another week to arrive at Lieduo. The current person in charge of logistics supplies is a U.S. Army major named Hanks. Hanks, who is already in his forties, heard from Mike that Tangcheng is already a
The veteran who had been fighting for many years couldn't believe it. "Oh God, he is just a child, almost as old as my youngest son. How could he be a veteran who has been fighting for more than five years?" Hanks thought no matter what.
Unexpectedly, this small-looking guy in Tang Cheng is actually a veteran with 5 years of military service.
"Major, Uncle Mike is right. I joined the army at the age of 19 and have been fighting for five years. Maybe it's because I look young, but I'm actually 24 years old." Tang, who was talking to Hanks in English,
Cheng laughed, and he even liked this American major who always had a cigar in his mouth. With Mike and Tang Cheng's repeated assurances, Hanks half-heartedly believed Tang Cheng's age, and Mike's
After urging, Hanks, who occasionally glanced at Tangcheng with suspicious eyes, opened the door of the warehouse.
"300 m1 Garand rifles, 100 m1 carbines, 50 Thompson submachine guns, 10 Browning m1919 machine guns, 10 bazookas, and 300 Browning m1911 pistols. In addition to these weapons, there are
, and enough ammunition and clothing supplies for a 300-man army for half a month." Standing at the warehouse door opened by Hanks, Mike explained to Tangcheng in a low voice, of course, everything in this warehouse
He prepared everything for the company in Tangcheng.
The m1 carbine was used by Tang Cheng, and Tang Cheng knew that when fighting in the jungle, this short-looking carbine was the nemesis of the Japanese bolt-action rifle. Taking the crowbar handed over by Mike, Tang Cheng was the first to pry
What was opened was a box containing a carbine. The carbine still exuded a strong smell of gun oil, which made Tang Cheng overjoyed. If all his defeated soldiers were equipped with such firearms, let alone crossing the river to clear out the remaining Japanese troops,
Even getting back to Myanmar is not difficult.
"Tang, come and see the rifles I have equipped for you." Mike's shout interrupted Tang Cheng's reverie. He looked over and saw that Mike was holding a brand new rifle in his hand. "This is the M1 equipped by our American army.
The Garand rifle is a semi-automatic rifle with automatically loaded bullets. Caliber: 7.62 mm, using 7.62x63mm rifle ammunition, with a magazine capacity of 8 rounds. The gun uses a gas-guided rotary locking gun, and the entire gun is 1.1 meters long.
, barrel length: 610 mm, empty gun weight 4.37 kg, effective range reaches 730 meters, of course the actual range is not that far.”
After giving Tang Cheng a rough introduction to the Garand rifle in his hand, Mike threw the rifle, which was still wrapped in a layer of gun oil, to Tang Cheng. Along with it was a bullet bridge containing 8 bullets, and signaled
Tang Cheng can try this semi-automatic rifle with his own hands. Hanks was very dissatisfied with Mike's irresponsibility. He took the rifle from Tang Cheng and wiped it carefully with a rag before teaching it to Tang Cheng himself.
How to load the bullet, and then handed the loaded Garand rifle back to Tangcheng.
The Garand rifle in Tang Cheng's hands is still a new gun that has not been calibrated, but this cannot offset Tang Cheng's good mood to test the gun. After listening to Mike's introduction just now, Tang Cheng can't wait to try this rifle with his own hands.
The performance of
When he was about to pull the bolt, Hanks reminded him that there was no need to pull the bolt with this rifle. You only need to pull the trigger to continue shooting.
A rifle that does not require the bolt to be pulled continuously. Tangcheng likes this kind of Garand rifle very much, but the only disadvantage of this rifle is that it does not discharge all the 8 bullets filled in the magazine.
, the soldiers can no longer continue to fill the magazine with bullets. "Are you worried that some soldiers will have empty guns during the battle?" Mike smiled and took the rifle from Tang Cheng's hand and loaded 8 more bullets.
Then he fired continuously at the sky, until the eighth bullet came out of the chamber, and the magazine that was filled into the magazine along with the bullet was automatically ejected by the ejector, and made a crisp sound.
"Did you hear that? This is the ejector installed on the Garand rifle to make up for the shortcomings you were worried about just now. As long as all the bullets in the magazine are fired, the magazines loaded into the magazine along with the bullets will be automatically removed by the ejector.
When it pops up, it reminds the soldiers that this rifle is empty and needs to be reloaded." Mike's explanation and hands-on practice made Tang Cheng's doubts disappear, and he secretly praised that this Garand rifle is indeed a good thing.
arms.
Mike smiled and threw the rifle in his hand to Hanks, "You have already tried the Garand rifle. You have used the M1 carbine. There is nothing to try. The Browning M1911 pistol is similar to other pistols."
, but the Browning m1919 machine gun and bazooka are very good." The Browning m1919 machine gun that Mike mentioned has not yet been unboxed, and Tangcheng is still immersed in the magic of the Garand rifle that can automatically load.
Without saying anything about opening the box, Mike asked Hanks to take out a bazooka and brought it to Tang Cheng.
Tang Cheng has never seen the so-called rocket launcher in the world, and of course he doesn't know what the slender cylinder that Hanks brought is used for. However, he heard from Mike that it is also a very powerful weapon, because he knows that Tang Cheng has not
Dare to mess around with it. "This is the bazooka rocket launcher. Its official name is the M1 60mm rocket launcher. The diameter of the barrel is 59 mm, the length of the barrel is 1350 mm, and the weight of the barrel is 5.8 kg. It uses an armor-piercing rocket with a tail fin, and the effective range is
100 meters, it can penetrate a steel plate about 130 mm thick."
Mike took out another rocket and showed Tang Cheng the steps to use the bazooka. "This weapon was originally used to fight tanks and armored vehicles. However, the US military troops deployed in the Pacific theater discovered that the bazooka was used against them.
The Japanese army's bunker fortifications are far more useful than artillery, so most of the bazookas equipped by our US military have become firepower weapons for infantry ground troops."
Tang Cheng originally had no favorable impression of this cylindrical, thin-looking thing, but after listening to Mike's introduction, the bazooka has a range of more than a hundred meters and is equipped with armor-piercing bombs, high-explosive bombs, incendiary bombs, and smoke bombs.
When planting warheads, Tang Cheng immediately changed his attitude towards Bazooka. "Now, when we encounter Japanese tanks and bunkers, we don't have to ask our soldiers to draw lots of life and death. We can use this guy to leave
Targeting a target dozens of meters away can get twice the result with half the effort." When defending Nanjing City, the inability of the national army to resist Japanese tanks left Tangcheng's memory fresh. If there were a few bazookas in hand at that time, they would at least be able to win those drawn.
Brothers who sign to die will not die in vain.
"These weapons and ammunition were all taken from the supplies required by the Ramgar training camp. This is only part of it. After the recruits and logistics troops catch up, there will be more weapons that you have never seen before.
Here you go." It seemed that he was also infected by Tang Cheng's good mood. Mike, who walked around the warehouse with Tang Cheng, was also in a very good mood. "I have brought you all the things. The rest is up to you.
It's up to you, I'll only give you one month. After one month, I want to see 300 soldiers who can fight hard like you."
"Sir, why are there no cannons? There are no explosives or mines, so what are we engineers doing?" When Tang Cheng gathered his broken troops to distribute weapons, Yang Laosan poured cold water on Tang Cheng.
After carefully reading the list of weapons that Mike gave him, there really were no such things as mortars and explosive mines on it.
"Yang Laosan, I read that you are addicted to laying landmines? We have been given a staff of 300 people to prepare food and drinks for us. Just for those 10 machine guns, I will have to dedicate 50 people to wait on them. What else is there?
Those things are very valuable. There are only three hundred people, and it takes sixty or seventy people to serve the machine guns and rocket launchers. How can there be people to follow you to play with mines and small cannons? Besides, Savage Mountain is full of forests. You want small cannons and land mines.
What are you doing? I feel like it sounds like a burden." Tangcheng went to find Mike, but Yang Laosan was dragged away by Hou San.
"Tang, your mission is to fight and leave quickly. Mortars and mines are not suitable for you. After the army training is completed, I will issue mortars to you." Mike's explanation was very simple. Tangcheng
I didn't feel dissatisfied, after all, the establishment of 300 people under my command was still far from enough, and the supply of soldiers had not been fully replenished, so what kind of small artillery was in a hurry.
With Mike's acquiescence, Tang Cheng distributed American equipment and weapons to all the more than 100 defeated soldiers who were brought under his control. Anyway, there was enough ammunition in the warehouse, so Tang Cheng conducted live ammunition training with his soldiers all day long.
From time to time, I also had small-scale discussions with the 200 American soldiers brought by Mike.
It was Mike who issued the military order to form the Sino-U.S. joint force in front of the U.S. military observation group and the U.S. military generals at the headquarters. Mike, who was already considered a desperate man, saw that Tangcheng and the others were getting stronger day by day, and there were more smiles on his face.
Somehow, as the arrival date of the logistics troops approached, Mike finally felt a little relieved.
