Forcing away the officers sent by the expeditionary force headquarters to try to control Tang Cheng, Tang Cheng and the defeated soldiers finally became idle, but Tang Cheng could not be idle, he had to receive the first batch of American weapons and equipment brought by Mike first. George, who stayed in Ledo's near the water, changed into a brand new American military uniform early, which made them envious of the dice who followed Tang Cheng out to clear the Japanese army, and heard that these people were going to change into the same American military uniform as George, so they flocked to Tang Cheng to receive equipment from Mike.

Huang Hanju, who has been transferred to the joint forces, will not be able to arrive at Ledo for another week, and now the person in charge of logistics and supplies is an American major named Hanks, who is already in his forties, and when he heard Mike's introduction that Tang Cheng was already a veteran of many years of war, he did not believe it. "God, he's just a kid, about the age of my youngest son, how can he be a veteran who has been fighting for more than five years?" Hanks couldn't figure out that Tang Cheng, who didn't look big, was a veteran with 5 years of military experience.

"Major, Uncle Mac is right, I joined the army at the age of 19 and have been fighting for 5 years, it may be that my face looks small, but in fact I am 24 years old." Tang Cheng, who spoke to Hanks in English, laughed, and he even liked this American major who always had a cigar in his mouth. With the repeated assurances of Mike and Tang Cheng, Hanks only half-believed Tang Cheng's age, and under Mike's urging, Hanks peeked at Tang Cheng with suspicious eyes from time to time to open the door of the warehouse.

"300 M1 Garand rifles, 100 M1 carbines, 50 Thomson submachine guns, 10 Browning M1919 machine guns, 10 Bazooka, 300 Browning M1911 pistols, in addition to these weapons, there are enough ammunition and clothing for a 300-strong army for half a month." Standing at the door of the warehouse opened by Hanks, Mike whispered an explanation to Tang Cheng, of course, everything in this warehouse was prepared by him for Tang Cheng's company.

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. After taking the crowbar handed by Mike, Tang Cheng's first prying open was a box containing a carbine, and the carbine with a strong smell of gun oil made Tang Cheng overjoyed.

"Don, come and see the rifle I have equipped you." Mike's shouts interrupted Don City's reverie, and he could see that Mike was clutching a brand-new rifle in his hand. "This is the M1 Garand rifle that our U.S. Army is equipped with, and it is a semi-automatic rifle with self-loading and loading of bullets. Caliber: 7.62 mm, using 7.62×63mm rifle cartridges, 8 rounds capacity. The bolt uses a gas conductive rotary locking bolt, the total length of the whole gun is 1.1 meters, the barrel length: 610 mm, the empty gun weighs 4.37 kg, and the 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 with a layer of gun oil wrapped in it to Tang Cheng, along with a bridge containing 8 bullets, and motioned for Tang Cheng to try this semi-automatic rifle with his own hands. Hanks was very dissatisfied with Mike's irresponsibility, took the rifle from Tang Cheng's hand and wiped it with a rag very well, and then taught Tang Cheng how to load the bullet steps, and then handed the loaded Garand rifle back to Tang Cheng.

The Garand rifle in Tang Cheng's hand is still a new gun that has not been proofread, but this does not offset Tang Cheng's good mood of testing the gun, I heard so much about Mike just now, Tang Cheng can't wait to try the performance of this rifle with his own hands. Raising his gun to his shoulder, Tang Cheng didn't aim at any specific target, he just randomly pulled the trigger on a big tree in the distance. After the "snap" shot, Tang Cheng habitually wanted to pull the bolt, but was reminded by Hanks that there was no need to pull the bolt on this rifle, and he only needed to pull the trigger to continue shooting.

A rifle that doesn't need to pull the bolt again and again, Tang Cheng loves this Garand rifle very much, but the only bad thing about this rifle is that if you don't use up all the 8 bullets in the magazine, the soldier can't continue to fill the magazine. "Are you worried that a soldier will have an empty gun in battle?" Mike smiled and took the rifle in Tang Cheng's hand and reloaded it with 8 rounds, and then fired into the sky with a continuous crack, until the eighth bullet was discharged, and the magazine that was filled into the magazine with the bullet had been automatically ejected by the declipper with a crisp sound.

"Do you hear that? This is the unclipper installed by the Garand rifle in order to make up for the shortcomings you have just worried, as long as all the bullets in the magazine are discharged, the magazine loaded into the magazine with the bullets will be automatically ejected by the unclip, which is to remind the soldier that the rifle is empty and needs to be reloaded. Mike's explanation and hands-on drill made Tang Cheng completely puzzled, and secretly praised this Garand rifle in his heart as a good weapon.

Mike smiled and threw the rifle in his hand to Hanks, "Garand rifle, you have already tried it, the M1 carbine is what you have used, 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 said had not yet been unboxed, and Tang Cheng, who was still immersed in the magic of the Garand rifle's automatic reloading, did not say that he wanted to open the box, so Mike took out a Bazooka bazooka and gave it to Tang Cheng.

Tang Cheng has never seen the so-called bazooka in the world, and of course he won't know what this slender cylinder Hanks brought is for, but I heard Mike say that this is also a very strong weapon, because he understands, Tang Cheng didn't dare to fiddle with it. "This is the Bazooka, and its official name is the M1 60mm bazooka. The diameter of the barrel is 59 mm, the length of the barrel is 1350 mm, the weight of the barrel is 5.8 kg, and the armor-piercing rocket with tail has an effective range of 100 meters and can penetrate steel plates about 130 mm thick. ”

Mike took out another rocket and showed Tang Cheng the steps of using this bazooka, "This weapon was originally used to fight tanks and armored vehicles, but the troops deployed by the U.S. military in the Pacific theater found that the bazooka bazooka against the Japanese bunker fortifications was far better than artillery, so most of the bazooka bazookas equipped by our U.S. military have become infantry ground force configuration fire weapons." ”

Tang Cheng originally didn't have a good impression of this cylindrical and thin thing, but when he heard Mike introduce that Bazooka has a range of more than 100 meters and is equipped with armor-piercing shells, high-explosive shells, incendiary bombs, and smoke bombs, Tang Cheng immediately changed his attitude towards Bazooka. "It's okay now, when we encounter Japanese tanks and bunkers again, we don't need to let our soldiers draw life and death lots, and we can get twice the result with half the effort with this guy dozens of meters away from the target." When defending the city of Nanjing, the powerlessness of the Nationalist troops against the Japanese tanks made Tang Cheng remember it vividly, and if there were a few bazoo cards in hand at that time, at least those brothers who won the death lottery would not go up to die in vain.

"These weapons and ammunition are all withheld from the supplies needed by the Ramgarh training camp, and this is only a part, and when the recruits and logistics troops catch up, there will be more weapons that you haven't seen before will be distributed to you." It seems that he has also been infected by Tang Cheng's good mood, and Mike, who accompanied Tang Cheng around the warehouse, is also in a good mood. "I've brought you everything, and the rest is up to you, I'll only give you a month, and after a month, I'll see 300 soldiers like you who can fight tough battles."

"Sir, why don't you have a cannon? There are no explosives and mines, so what are we sappers doing? When Tang Cheng gathered his rout soldiers to distribute weapons, Yang Laosan poured cold water on Tang Cheng, Tang Cheng carefully looked at the list of weapons that Mike handed over to him, there was really no such thing as mortars and explosive mines on it.

"Yang Laosan, I see that you are addicted to planting landmines? There are 300 people who are prepared for us above, and just the 10 machine guns, Lao Tzu has to draw out 50 people to serve them, and the things are also very expensive. It's just 300 people, and it takes 60 or 70 people to serve machine guns and bazookas, where are there people who follow you to fiddle with mines and small artillery, and besides, Savage Mountain is full of forests, what do you want small cannons and mines for? Lao Tzu sounds cumbersome. Tang Cheng went to find Mike, but Yang Laosan was pulled away by Hou San.

"Don, your task is to fight quickly and leave quickly, mortars and mines are not suitable for you, and after the training of the troops is completed, I will issue mortars to you." The explanation given by Mike was very simple, and Tang Cheng didn't feel dissatisfied, after all, the establishment of 300 people under his command was still far behind, and the source of troops had not been replenished.

With Mike's acquiescence, Tang Cheng distributed American-style equipment and weapons to the more than 100 defeated soldiers he brought in, and anyway, there was enough ammunition in the warehouse, so Tang Cheng took his soldiers to conduct live-fire training all day long, and from time to time he also had a small discussion with the 200 American GIs brought by Mike.

The formation of the Sino-US joint force was a military order issued by Mike in front of the U.S. military observation mission and those U.S. military officers in the headquarters, and Mike was already desperate to see Tangcheng and them getting stronger day by day, and the smile on his face was a little more, and as the arrival date of the logistics troops approached, Mike's hanging heart finally relaxed a little.
