Chapter 712: Galoshes and Boats (Page 1/1)

Next to the warehouse of the regiment headquarters, more than 100 men and horses of the baggage company returned to the barracks, and prepared next to the warehouse, Zhang Wei and the officers who got the baggage company back to the camp quickly rushed to the side of the warehouse, in front of them, not only all the officers and soldiers of the baggage company, but also more than a dozen boxes that had just completed unloading, the boxes were of different colors, shapes and sizes, and were unloaded from the horses one by one by the brothers of the baggage company in civilian clothes. The other party was next to the warehouse.

The warehouse is very lively, and every time the baggage company returns, it is in full swing.

Seeing Zhang Wei coming, He Kun, the commander of the baggage company, hurriedly led two people, carried a dark green box, and walked in front of Zhang Wei.

"Open!"

Two soldiers of the baggage company, picked up two crowbars, at the same time pry, the upper cover of the box was lifted, revealing the contents of the contents, I saw that this small box, full of shoes, a pair of shoes, with rope wound together, neatly placed in the box, surrounded by waterproof yellow paper, Zhang Wei took a look, these are not anything else, it is the rubber sole, cloth rubber shoes, in the box, a smell of glue along the box straight out, layer after layer of shoes, filled the entire wooden box.

"Commander, I've got something!" He Kun said with a smile, Zhang Wei saw that He Kun was tired, but he didn't see a reduction, it can be seen that although this guy is very busy, but in terms of eating and drinking, he didn't treat himself badly, and the soldiers of the baggage company are the same, not to mention the dragon spirit and tiger fierceness, but they are also full of energy.

"Good!"

Zhang Wei was very happy, he didn't care about talking to He Kun more, he grabbed a pair of shoes casually, as soon as he started, it was a thick feeling, the rubber sole below was hard, and the upper was a pale yellow canvas surface, Zhang Wei touched the upper, it was definitely a good canvas, it felt very good, and then turned the shoes upside down, there were more than a dozen non-slip glue convex on the sole, which was equivalent to anti-slip nails.

On the edge of the shoe, there are also a series of protrusions, the laces are well-made, the straps are very thick, the workmanship is strong, the thread can not be seen, the dyeing is also very good, the light yellow is dyed very evenly, close to the grass color, the protrusions on the edge of the shoes and the cleats on the soles are for anti-slip preparation, the connection between the sole and the upper of the rubber shoes is very neat, Zhang Wei did not see much overflowing glue, that is to say, there are not many phenomena of overflowing glue, and there are only sporadic ones, as far as the overflow of the shoes in front of him is comparable to Zhang Wei's later generations such as "Converse" The shoes are much better, which shows their workmanship.

Canvas, rubber sole can be waterproof, and the sole is equipped with anti-slip measures, wear this when marching and walking, it is much better than the cloth shoes under the feet of the brothers now, and it is a good thing to change it in the southwest border, or in the dirt roads of Southeast Asia, it is a good thing, more wear-resistant than cloth shoes, slippery, and waterproof, more durable than leather boots, which is very good for the protection of the soldiers' footsteps, and this shoe is between the low-top and the high-top, the infantry wears these shoes, and can tie the leggings and the top of the shoes together to protect the part above the ankle, when marching in the jungle, The protective effect is very large.

In the previous battles, Zhang Wei captured a lot of the most accustomed leather shoes of the Japanese army, that is, the Japanese army's Zhaowu boots, Zhang Wei and his officers and soldiers also tried to wear them, of course, they were thrown away after wearing them, one was not used to wearing them, the thing was too "heavy", and the other was that few people were willing to wear these shoes from the dead corpses, so most of the captured Japanese military shoes were lost, but the use of Japanese military shoes was still very profound.

Zhang Wei thought unceremoniously, these rubber shoes in front of him are definitely not worse than the devil Zhao Wu leather shoes in the mountain marching battle, Zhao Wu leather shoes have anti-cleats, shoelaces, and rubber shoes in front of him, but the iron of the ghost Zhao five boots is iron, and the cleats of the rubber shoes are made of glue, the function of Zhao five boots, these rubber shoes have, and the quality is lighter, the infantry charge more briskly, the only thing that is bad is the comfort, Zhang Wei wears the devil's Zhao five boots, it is indeed very comfortable, fits, but on the battlefield, Comfort is always at the bottom of the list.

"He Kun, these shoes are good, which way did you buy them from?"

Zhang Wei looked at the workmanship and quality of this rubber-soled canvas shoes, it was definitely a first-class goods, he felt that nine times out of ten it was a foreign thing, rubber shoes, before the Anti-Japanese War, Zhang Wei had only heard of Shanghai made, now the domestic production of rubber shoes is almost extinct, these well-made leather shoes, this way, he thinks it must not be simple.

He Kun leaned over to Zhang Wei and said in a low voice.

"Commander, these shoes are expensive, I won't tell you, I went out these days, more than half of the time was spent on these shoes, these leather shoes are all foreigners' things, which country is made, I really don't know, anyway, I found it on the black market, and the person who poured the shoes told me that it was all from what kind of things...... The goods that were transported from Vietnam were also smuggled by the horse team, and they were all foreign goods. ”

"Vietnam? It seems that the goods came in from southern Yunnan, hum, maybe it was smuggled by the troops in southern Yunnan, it may be the goods of the French. Zhang Wei said ill-intentionedly.

He Kun was stunned there, what Zhang Wei said about the Frenchman, obviously he couldn't understand it.

"By the way, how many pairs of shoes did you get in this batch? Those boxes are full of these galoshes? ”

He Kun shook his head: "That's not it, enough shoes for our brothers, how can it be so easy to do, which boxes are not all shoes, there are several boxes containing rubber boats, which are backlogged goods in foreign devils and foreign companies, this rubber boat is cheap, only we buy it, the price of cabbage was taken down by me, and the rest of those boxes are filled with shoes, this batch is probably less than 1,000 pairs, I and the seller have agreed, divided into three horses to receive the goods, the second batch of 1,300 pairs, the third batch of 1,500 pairs, after getting together, The brothers in the group can get a pair, and they can also have a lot of stock. ”

"Good, good!" Zhang Wei praised that the first batch of shoes was less than 1,000 pairs, which was basically enough for him to reload more than a battalion of troops, and when the second batch arrived, the three battalions of the whole regiment could almost be reloaded, and Zhang Wei was still very satisfied with this shipment.

"But the head of the regiment, these shoes are good, but the damn is too expensive, I went out this time, while looking for goods, I ran a list of salt, bought these shoes, paid the second batch of deposits, basically the money earned from this trip to salt is also put in, in addition to rubber boats and shoes, other objects, this time I didn't have time to buy, it's really no effort."

He Kun said this, Zhang Wei can also understand that the list he listed is all in demand, and he didn't expect He Kun to get it all back at once.

"It's okay, you have to eat the food in one bite, the first is the shoes, this time you got shoes and rubber boats, and you did a good job!"
