Lashio Thunder Operational Command

Two 100-watt light bulbs illuminated the headquarters, and Mo Lun, who had completed the task of building bridges over the Nu River and reinforcing the Wan Town Bridge, was whispering something to Zhao Zhi, and Rowling, who was dressed in military uniform, stood behind Zhao Zhi and pinched his somewhat stiff shoulders for Zhao Zhi. Zhao Zhi, who was treated as a rich man in the countryside, lay on the bamboo recliner on his back, enjoying Rowling's thoughtfulness, listening to Mo Lun's report, and smoking a cigar from time to time.

"Sir, that's probably it, the situation in Kunming is good, everything is normal in the arsenal, according to your assembly line operation, this week's ammunition production is the sum of the previous month, according to this view, just the ammunition output of the arsenal can keep up with the consumption of the troops. If you count the ammunition we have stockpiled in advance, we will have enough bullets to fight back and forth in Burma" Mo Lun has always been truthful when he speaks, if he says that the ammunition is enough, Zhao Zhi will never doubt it.

"Don't be too happy, this time it was the Japanese Army's Sixth Division that found us, and this division is known for its ability to fight. Our ammunition consumption in the past few days is small, that is because only a few mercenary units and those Burmese guerrillas fought in the early stage, not to mention that those Burmese people used the weapons we captured the Japanese, if we really fight with the Japanese Sixth Division, the ammunition you sent is probably only enough to support a few days, ammunition supply is a big thing that determines the victory or defeat of the battlefield, don't dare to take it lightly" Zhao Zhi, who was smoking a cigar slowly, hit Mo Lun a little, the battlefield is ever-changing, and he is the most jealous and impetuous.

Mo Lun obviously didn't agree with Zhao Zhi's words, he didn't come to Lashio empty-handed, and he arrived at Lashio with a convoy of 80 trucks, all of which were loaded with bullets, which were a full 30 million rounds of various bullets, which were distributed among the heads of each soldier who thundered into Burma, that is, 600 rounds. Mo Lun believed that even the so-called elite 6th Division of the Japanese army had not distributed 600 rounds of ammunition to the soldiers under his command, how did this get into the mouth of his own husband, it became not enough consumption.

"Our soldiers are using semi-automatic and automatic weapons like Garland and Thomson, and when the trigger is pulled, at least eight rounds are out in less than a minute. The sixth division of the Japanese army is 25,000 people, and our number is one to two, but don't forget, the Japanese army is coming with 160,000 troops this time, and the sixth division is just their vanguard, once we are bitten by this sixth division, other Japanese troops will definitely swim over like sharks that smell blood, the Japanese have never lacked the potential to fight in groups, so our ammunition reserves must be sufficient, so as not to run out of ammunition when we get it"

Zhao Zhi put the cigar in his mouth and patted Rowling's hand gently, got up and beckoned Mo Lun to the large map of Myanmar, "The southern part of Myanmar is a plain terrain of a flat river, our armored troops are very suitable for that terrain, the northern part of Myanmar is mountainous and jungled, which is very suitable for mountain troops to fight, the Japanese army came to Burma this time with a large number of large-caliber artillery, and we can't take advantage of them on the plains, so our battlefield is in northern Myanmar, Take advantage of the terrain of northern Burma and take advantage of our mobile operations to slowly consume them."

Zhao Zhi took the baton handed over by Xiao Ziyun and pointed it on the map, "This is Wan Town, it is the bridgehead of the Yunnan-Burma Highway into the country, don't rush over after you go back this time, and leave the matter of transporting ammunition to people who are at ease to do, your task is to establish our material assembly point in Wan Town, ammunition, weapons, medicines, food, oil, as long as we can use things to fight the war, all start to transport to Wan Town, shorten our supply line to ensure that the troops can replenish supplies at any time, do you know the great relationship here?" ”

"Got it, I'll return to Kunming tomorrow with the convoy, and it just so happens that the 10,000 militia in the training camp have almost been trained, and they just happened to be stationed in Wan Town" Mo Lun didn't understand Zhao Zhi's intention to set up a material assembly point in Wan Town, but he was already used to following Zhao Zhi's orders, as long as it was something that Zhao Zhi ordered, Mo Lun tried every way to complete it, and naturally this time was no exception.

"But" The expression on Mo Lun's face was a little speechless, Zhao Zhi knew that this hot-faced and black-faced guy must have wanted to put forward some conditions, sure enough, before the baton in Zhao Zhi's hand was put down, Mo Lun opened his mouth, "It's no problem to transport materials to Wan Town, but I don't have enough sappers in my hands, and I must build warehouses to hoard so many materials, especially those oil must be stored in a safe and dark place, and the number of sappers is obviously not enough to build so many warehouses" Mo Lun's face obviously showed a look of You don't add manpower to me, It's not easy to complete this task.

Looking at the expression on Mo Lun's face, Zhao Zhi secretly smiled in his heart, among the old subordinates who followed him to fight in the south and the north, only Mo Lun had never really been on the battlefield to face the Japanese army, and this guy, who was already twice as large, complained about his partiality in private. What kind of sappers are not enough, it is simply this guy complaining a little about Zhao Zhi not taking him to the battlefield, "There are not enough sappers, then you can recruit the people, and you can set the number yourself" Zhao Zhi gave Mo Lun the right to recruit the people, which can be regarded as a small comfort to him.

"The people you recruit can be given priority to supplement your engineer regiment, enough for 5,000 people, you are the commander of the engineer brigade, enough for 10,000 people, you are the commander of the engineer division, how about it, this condition is generous enough, right?" Knowing what Moren was thinking, Rowling, who brought the coffee, smiled and increased her chips. The first person to survive with Zhao Zhi was immediately, Yan Wudao was already the commander in charge of the mercenary unit in Burma, Yu Dazhi, who lost a leg, also became the commander of the Zhangwu base, and the young Luo Ying became Zhao Zhi's personal adjutant, only Mo Lun was still beating the side drum.

It's not that Mo Lun complained in his heart, he just watched his companions become famous, and he was just a miscellaneous person, and he was a little unhappy in his heart, but he didn't know that he was a miscellaneous person in Thunder, and in the regular army, he was the role of the logistics minister. "Sir, what Madame just said?" Mo Lun's careful thinking turned quickly, as soon as Rowling's words fell, he was already thinking about how many people he could get, the division commander didn't dare to think about it, but there was absolutely no problem in being a brigade commander.

"What Madame said definitely counts" Zhao Zhi didn't know the intention of Luo Lin's words, if you want the horse to run fast, you have to feed it carefully, and treat your subordinates the same, if you want to mobilize their enthusiasm, you have to come up with corresponding things. Originally, Mo Lun was in charge of the Kunming base, as soon as the war started, Rowling took over the Kunming base, and Mo Lun became the commander of the engineer regiment and the captain of the transportation brigade, no wonder Mo Lun was a little cautious, Mo Lun's old mother was looking forward to her son being a big official and shining lintel.

Zhao Zhi's words made Mo Lun's face happy, but Zhao Zhi's next words made this guy secretly cry bitter in his heart, "A man is a man, and a sapper is a sapper, you should know the difference between the two." The matter of building a reserve warehouse in Wan Town is a secret of our thunder, I don't care what method you use, in short, the location of those reserve warehouses must not be exposed to the Japanese, as for the matter of the people's replenishment of the engineer regiment, you can make your own decisions. It's still what Madame just said, you can get as many people as you can to replenish the engineering unit, and you can be as big an officer, but the first condition is that the people who enter the engineering unit must be voluntary."

"I'm relieved to have you say this" After listening to Zhao Zhi's assurance, Mo Lun's face showed a look of successful treacherous schemes, and the worry and confusion in his original eyes had long since disappeared. Seeing Mo Lun's appearance, Zhao Zhilian, who came to his senses, was fooled, Mo Lun was originally a guy in Beiping City who cheated and cheated all day long, and there were more ways to deceive people. The face he pretended to be just now was nothing more than trying to confirm what Rowling said, this guy already had the means and ideas to recruit people in his heart, and this time Zhao Zhi was well slapped by Mo Lun.

It is not once or twice that Lei Ting has recruited and hired people to do things in Kunming, and he can still get wages for eating and drinking, and such a good thing is to find it. As long as Mo Lun arranged for his brokers to release the news, not to mention 5,000 people, it was possible to come to 50,000 people. At present, the engineer regiment in charge of Mo Lun is only responsible for building bridges and paving roads to transport materials, and the engineer regiment is responsible for food and shelter, not only has military salaries but also manages the distribution of clothes, catches up with the combat troops to clean up the battlefield, and may be able to make up the floating wealth leaked from the hands of the combat troops.

"Sir, something happened" Zhao Zhi was talking and laughing in the command headquarters when Luo Ying, who had a tangled face, rushed in with a telegram. Luo Ying, who followed Zhao Zhi to the north and south, had already taken off his past youth and stubbornness, and he was a little calm in his actions, coupled with Zhao Zhi's teaching on weekdays, Zhang Yi's expression like this had not appeared for a long time, and everyone in the command looked at Luo Ying, who was whispering to Zhao Zhi, and unconsciously stopped what he was doing, and even his voice stopped.

"You can't let them go, you must make them pay" Zhao Zhi raised his foot and kicked over a chair, standing in the command headquarters in a fit of rage, his whole face was red with anger, his eyes were also full of bloodshots, and the whole person looked like a beast that wanted to choose people to devour. With Zhao Zhi's roar, all the staff officers in the command headquarters stood trembling on the spot, and no one dared to touch his moldy head. Even Rowling, who had always been respected by Zhao Zhi, did not dare to disturb him at this time.
