You are ordered to support the War of Resistance against Japan; China enters Level 1 combat readines

A little...gift?

Three truckloads of weapons and ammunition, is that what you call a little greeting gift?

Is this even human language?

Li Yunlong's heart was already in turmoil, with one wave of turmoil after another.

After finally regaining his senses, Li Yunlong swallowed hard and asked tentatively, with a hint of caution:

"Mr. Shen...you...you're talking about a light machine gun...is it...is it the Type 99?"

In his understanding, the only light machine gun that could be mass-produced on the market now seemed to be the Japanese Type 96 light machine gun.

"A crooked handle?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Wang scoffed.

That piece of junk doesn't even deserve to be called a light machine gun.

Even a dog wouldn't want that!

Li Yunlong wasn't stupid; he immediately noticed something amiss from Shen Wang's expression.

My heart instantly burned even hotter.

"If it's not a Type 96, then... then it's a Czech style?"

Czech-made weapons were something that only the elite units of the Central Army could be equipped with in small quantities.

With its excellent performance and powerful firepower, it enjoyed an outstanding reputation on the Chinese battlefield and was practically the best light machine gun.

This time, Shen Wang didn't completely deny it; he shook his head and then nodded.

"Hmm... more or less, but this gun of mine is called the Type 56 squad automatic weapon, which is... slightly better than the Czech-made one."

He spoke casually, but to Li Yunlong it was like a thunderclap!

Better than the Czech style?

Li Yunlong felt his breathing quicken: "What's so good about it?"

Shen Wang casually gestured: "The main thing is that it's light! A Czech-style rifle must weigh over twenty pounds, right? My Class 56 only weighs a dozen pounds!"

"As for other aspects, they're about the same."

Frankly speaking, the Type 56 squad automatic weapon is not a complete blowout compared to the Czech-made one.

In other words, it has an advantage in weight.

Power, range, magazine capacity, etc., are all just so-so.

However, when Li Yunlong heard this, his eyes practically gleamed with greed!

"What?"

"More than ten kilograms?"

"Lighter than a Czech-made one?"

Why is a light machine gun called a light machine gun? Because it's light!

Can a machine gun be called a light machine gun if it's not light?

A Czech-made gun, including its ammunition, weighs only about 20 kilograms.

This weight is light enough!

But what did Shen Wang just say?

A light machine gun weighing a dozen kilograms?

Don't underestimate the weight of these few kilograms!

Keep in mind, the Type 38 rifle weighs eight or nine pounds!

For the Eighth Route Army, which emphasized mobile warfare, this advantage was enormous!

Li Yunlong was almost unable to contain himself.

His independent regiment was only an auxiliary regiment, not a main force regiment!

But if they were equipped with such weapons, which main force regiment commander would dare to bare his teeth in front of him?

He's gone too far!

Immediately afterward, Li Yunlong remembered that Shen Wang had mentioned another piece of equipment, and licked his dry lips:

"Mr. Shen, what...what kind of treasure is that 40-fire...a flamethrower?"

The Japanese had flamethrowers; those things were so annoying.

Shen Wang smiled; this was really hard to describe in words.

He gestured to Sha Zhenjiang: "Little Sha, go and unload another box from that truck."

"Yes, Master!"

Sha Zhenjiang responded excitedly and ran quickly towards another truck.

They quickly carried down another box.

Under everyone's curious gaze, Shen Wang opened the box and deftly assembled a Type 69 40mm rocket launcher.

He then hoisted it onto his shoulder and aimed at a larger mound of earth in the distance.

"Everyone, step back a bit and cover your ears," Shen Wang reminded them.

Everyone instinctively took a few steps back and held their breath.

Shen Wang pulled the trigger—

"Whoosh—BOOM!!!"

A sharp whistling sound was followed by an explosion that was far more powerful than a grenade!

The mound of earth was instantly blasted open, creating a huge crater, with dirt and grass clippings shooting into the sky!

The aftershocks of the explosion even made the ground tremble slightly!

"..."

Senseless!

Everyone is stunned!

Li Yunlong, Sun Desheng, Ding Zhijian, Sha Zhenjiang... were all dumbfounded!

As for armored vehicles, tanks, machine guns, and light machine guns, these weapons are still within their understanding.

What Shen Wang brought out was at most a bit more advanced.

But the weapon before them was completely beyond their comprehension!

What did they just see?

One... a cannonball with a fire-breathing tail?

Are you kidding me?

Li Yunlong's mouth was agape, big enough to fit an egg, and his mind went completely blank.

This veteran of many battles thought even more!

What the hell is this weapon?

No gun mount needed, can it be operated by one person?

Its power...is far greater than the Japanese grenade launchers!

It even felt like... it was almost as lethal as the two 81mm mortars in their regiment!

Individual soldier!

Direct fire!

Extremely powerful!

These words combined made Li Yunlong and all the knowledgeable veterans instantly realize the value of this weapon!

Simply...immeasurable!

What pillboxes, bunkers, heavy machine gun emplacements? I'll take care of them all with one...fire-breathing shell!

These soldiers may lack experience, but they are certainly not stupid!

No one who survives on the battlefield is a fool!

In an instant, Li Yunlong knew that he had struck gold!

And it's an incredibly precious treasure!

Seeing everyone's stunned expressions, Shen Wang put down the rocket launcher he had just fired and said calmly:

「这次带来的东西不多，56式冲锋鎗80支，56式班用机枪10挺；40毫米单兵火箭筒10具。配套的弹药嘛，按一个基数配的。」

The number of what is called a basic load of ammunition varies depending on the weapon.

比如56沖，一个基数弹药就是120发，56班一个基数300发，40火一个基数10发火箭弹。

"In total, that's... well, more than 12,000 rounds of ammunition for submachine guns and light machine guns, plus 100 rounds of 40mm rockets."

Li Yunlong: ...

"One...one...twelve thousand bullets? One hundred...those kinds of shells?"

Old Li felt that his tongue was completely out of his control, and his heart was pounding so hard that he felt dizzy.

Even Commander Li, who had witnessed countless life-and-death situations and all sorts of grand scenes, was completely speechless at this moment.

Is this what you call a small gift when we first meet?

You should know that a Type 96 light machine gun can fetch up to 1000 silver dollars on the black market, let alone a mortar.

The three cartloads of weapons and ammunition that Shen Wang took out were probably worth tens of thousands of silver dollars!

Especially those fire-breathing shells, you probably can't buy them even if you have the money!

To be honest, Li Yunlong is a little scared now.

Even the fearless Li Yunlong was astonished by Shen Wang's grand gesture!

"call--!"

After taking several deep breaths, Old Li finally calmed down a little.

"Mr. Shen..."

"Your...your gift...is too...too heavy! I, Li Yunlong...my Independent Regiment...really...really..."

He tried to be "honest" for a long time, but he just couldn't bring himself to say "I have no merit to deserve reward."

For Li Yunlong to refuse these powerful weapons that could severely strike the Japanese was more painful than being stabbed twice!

But accepting it like that made him feel uneasy, as if he owed a huge favor that he could never repay in this lifetime.

Finally, Li Yunlong gritted his teeth, as if he had made up his mind.

"Mr. Shen! Do you...do you have some kind of enemy?"

"If the other party has truly committed heinous acts and deserves to die, then I, Old Li, will risk being executed by the boss when I get back to avenge you!"

Li Yunlong's thinking was simple: Mr. Shen must have something in mind for sending such a generous gift!

As long as this "request" is not excessive, Li Yunlong will risk his life to help Mr. Shen achieve it!

Only in this way could he feel at ease holding these weapons!

Shen Wang couldn't help but find it amusing to see Li Yunlong looking like he was ready to risk his life for him.

"Commander Li, you're absolutely right, I do have enemies."

Li Yunlong's spirits lifted, and his body instantly stiffened: "Who is it? Where is it? Mr. Shen, please give your orders!"

Shen Wang's gaze slowly swept across the surroundings, finally settling on Li Yunlong's face:

"Commander Li, didn't you... already send people to investigate?"
