Chapter 41 Food for Equipment

Sun Erwei walked up to Wang Xuexin, handed him a cigarette, and explained apologetically: "I'm sorry, Wang! They are from the army and don't know much. I promise that nothing like this will happen again in the future!"

Wang Xuexin took the cigarette and replied: "Sun Erwei, this can't be solved by just saying sorry, right? I just told the chief about the matter, and the chief was also very angry. He also agreed with my point of view and expressed that he would end everything with you.

cooperate……"

"No no..." Sun Erwei quickly apologized: "This is just a misunderstanding. You can explain it to the chief!"

In fact, Wang Xuexin did not report this matter to the chief at all. He just pretended to send a few daily telegrams.

Wang Xuexin frowned as if he was embarrassed: "Our leader is as stubborn as a donkey. Once he decides something, he will not change it easily. He also said, if you have such thoughts today, tomorrow

It’s very possible that they also have such thoughts. Cooperation doesn’t make much sense. We might as well contact Mao Xiong..."

Sun Erwei became a little anxious when he heard "Mao Xiong". He hurriedly stepped forward and lowered his voice and said: "Wang, help me! Say a few good words to your leader. And it's not easy over there with Mao Xiong. They still have to rely on their supplies."

We supply, but their help to you is very limited!”

This is true. At this time, the Mao Xiong had no time to take care of himself. It was not until the winter cold wave hit that they fought the "Moscow Defense War", otherwise they would have been in trouble.

However, it is said that because of the rocket launcher provided by Wang Xuexin, the Mao Xiong side has greatly delayed Hans' attack.

Of course Wang Xuexin would not say these words. He raised his head, glanced at Thomas who was standing not far away and was sulking, and said: "That's what I say, but it's better than you just firing a few shots and destroying our troops."

Why don't you take them all away? To put it bluntly, I don't want these semi-automatics of yours, I just use them reluctantly to provide you with experience, and now you want to take the command right too?"

What Wang Xuexin said was half true and half false.

Although the M1 rifle is a good gun, the most important thing on the battlefield is "only the most suitable equipment, not the best equipment."

The m1 semi-automatic is not suitable for the logistics situation of the Eighth Route Army and can only be equipped in small batches.

Sun Erwei expressed his understanding: "I understand that the positioning of our project should be like this: the troops are yours, the equipment and ammunition are provided by us for free, you can use any tactics you want to use to fight the enemy, and what we gain is combat experience and

Tactics! Later we can write a contract detailing these regulations, is that okay?"

Wang Xuexin nodded with satisfaction.

This is the right thing to say. You can only find problems by using Yingjiang's tactics to fight the enemy. This is bullshit. At this time, Yingjiang had basically never fought in a battle. They were all copying battalion and company tactics from Sun Never Sets.

The Japanese who wanted to leave Asia and join Europe learned the same thing, which was nothing more than relying on machine gun firepower to deploy their troops... Can this be applied to mountain warfare?

At this time, Yingjiang didn't even have the concept of mountain troops. However, Hans was at the forefront in this regard and trained a group of mountain troops specifically for attacking the Caucasus Mountains. Mao Xiong had to organize mountain troops in order to meet the challenge.

Therefore, if we use Yingjiang's tactical training, we don't know how many people will be sacrificed on the battlefield in the future.

What's more serious is that if the Japs cannot be suppressed in mountain warfare, the entire Zhongtiao Mountain defense line may collapse, so the flanks of the Eighth Route Army's Luliang Mountain defense line will be exposed to the Japs' front again and Yuncheng's defense line will be lost.

Iron ore, copper ore.

But Wang Xuexin still didn't agree. He replied: "I have no problem here, but the chief... it's troublesome!"

"Do you need me to explain it to your chief in person?" Sun Erwei asked.

"Is your explanation as valid as mine?" Wang Xuexin asked.

Sun Erwei thought it was right. He was Yingjiang's man, but Wang Xuexin was the battalion commander who was deeply trusted by the commander. Of course, Wang Xuexin's explanation was more useful.

Wang Xuexin saw that his appetite was almost gone, so he said: "Our leader, after fighting for so many years, he is afraid of poverty. He is always worried about running out of ammunition. If we can have some ammunition... this will be easy to say!"

Sun Erwei said "Oh", and then his brows widened: "That's easy, I will immediately transfer 100,000 rounds of ammunition to apologize to the chief!"

I go……

Wang Xuexin cursed secretly in his heart, this guy is just a tycoon, he opened his mouth with 100,000 rounds of ammunition, which is usually the amount of ammunition for a division of the Eighth Route Army.

At the same time, Wang Xuexin was still a little curious and asked: "Is it so convenient to transport ammunition now?"

Sun Erwei smiled and replied: "It's not that the ammunition is convenient to transport, but that we can get these small batches of ammunition from the stubborn army, and on the other hand, we can provide full compensation plus some shipping costs!"

Wang Xuexin said "Oh" and understood what Sun Erwei meant.

Ammunition is something that often cannot wait.

For example, mountain troops need to replenish ammunition immediately on the battlefield. They can't wait for the eagle sauce to be shipped from Asana, right?

So Yingjiang established such a replenishment mechanism. Ammunition was directly transferred from Xi'an's stubborn army. It was replenished here and there, and more could be replenished.

The stubborn army can also benefit from it, so there is no need to say more.

Thinking of this, Wang Xuexin couldn't help but curse inwardly. These ammunition were originally supposed to be given to the stubborn army, but now they still have to go through a lot of trouble to get them.

Sun Erwei continued: "In addition, the food you requested was actually transferred from the stubborn army!"

"Food?" Wang Xuexin asked doubtfully, "You mean the ten million US dollars of food?"

Sun Erwei nodded: "The stubborn army thought it was a pity to use such precious transportation capacity to transport food, so they reached an agreement with us: they will provide the food we transfer to you, and we only need to transport the equivalent value for the stubborn army.

Equipment and ammunition are equivalent to interchange, do you have no problem with this?"

Wang Xuexin was speechless after hearing this.

In fact, nothing changed for the Eighth Route Army. Wang Xuexin would still get the food he wanted.

The only change was that the stubborn army replaced the food with equipment and ammunition.

There is nothing wrong with this approach. During the war, no one could tell whether food or ammunition was more important.

Let’s just say food is important. No one can survive without it.

Let's just say equipment is important. Without it, we can't keep food.

All I can say is that whatever is lacking is important.

Therefore, for the Eighth Route Army, food is important and equipment is also important.

For the stubborn army, since the Burma Highway has not yet been blocked, food is not in short supply for the time being, so the choice of equipment makes sense.

The issue is……

Next year the Burma Highway will be blocked and there will be a great famine in Henan.

By then, wouldn’t the stubborn soldiers who exchanged food for equipment have to regret it in their intestines?
