Chapter 37 still needs to be dug!
If Meng Fanle had some doubts before that Cun Yunsheng was getting something for nothing, now after seeing so many supplies, his concerns were completely dispelled.

Five hundred guns are enough to equip a regiment.

You have to know that when Long Wenjian first became the head of the regiment, there were only twelve people and they didn't even have a few guns.

The current Cun Yunsheng is much stronger than the one in the original work.

Including the 100 guns of the guard company, there are more than 600 guns in total, which is also a formidable main force in the Sichuan Army.

"They are all Zhongzheng rifles." After opening the box and looking at the brand new Zhongzheng rifles, Cun Yunsheng's smile widened.

I originally thought it would be a Hanyang-made or similar Wan Guo brand rifle.

Who knew they were all Zhongzheng rifles? This was indeed beyond his expectations.

At the same time, his fifth uncle also brought him a piece of news, that is, the Japanese offensive was very fierce, the British army was almost unable to stop it, and perhaps the progress of crossing the river would be accelerated, so he asked him to make preparations early.

His fifth uncle was also a lieutenant colonel in the expeditionary force and was very well-informed about some information.

He was not at all surprised by this news; instead, he had known about it for a long time.

It was even known that with the addition of the Japanese 18th Division, the British army was defeated even faster.

"It seems that we don't have much time left." After reading the letter from home, Cun Yunsheng said to Meng Fanle who was still counting the supplies.

"What?" Meng Fanle was stunned at first, but after listening to Cun Yunsheng's explanation, he suddenly realized.

"They are all veterans, and they are familiar with war. The Japanese only have three tricks, and they will just keep fighting."

"I didn't realize you had such a good attitude." Cun Yunsheng said with a smile.

"We're all risking our lives anyway, so it doesn't matter." Meng Fan spread his hands, indicating that he had already gotten used to it.

Seeing that Meng Fanle was in such a good mood, Cun Yunsheng shook his head and said nothing more.

After reading all the letters from home, my sense of responsibility is stronger than before.

He will definitely not bring disgrace to the reputation of the Cun family.

"Let Krupp come over." After the equipment was received, Cun Yunsheng asked someone to notify Krupp.

Cun Yunsheng knew the importance of the artillery company, so he had to take charge of it himself.

Krupp, who was in the cafeteria, heard the regiment commander calling him and quickly stuffed all the remaining food into his mouth. This scene stunned the officers in charge of logistics.

Is this a starving ghost?

"Three whole bowls?"

"It looks like you haven't eaten yet."

"He alone is worth several of us."

"It is said that he is the leader's favorite child."

"I can't tell. You look so silly. What can you do?"

No wonder the logistics soldiers were talking about it, he really ate too much.

If I hadn't seen that he didn't feel any discomfort, I would have suspected that he would be stuffed to death.

Looking at Krupp with rice grains at the corners of his mouth, Cun Yunsheng chuckled.

"Are you full?"

"No, I'm half full." Krupp's honest look made many people laugh.

"It turns out you've hired a good-for-nothing." Meng Fanle's mouth is always so poisonous, so don't expect to hear any good words from him.

"I don't know if he's really good at it or just bragging."

Krupp did not argue with Meng Fanle's words, but looked at Cun Yunsheng.

In fact, Cun Yunsheng was very curious about Krupp's background.

First of all, being able to study in Germany shows that you have excellent abilities and must know German, otherwise you would not be able to communicate and learn.

Secondly, his Jiangzhe accent showed that his family was financially strong and could afford the cost of studying abroad. Finally, he joined the cannon fodder group halfway through the journey. He was originally a member of the expeditionary force, but later, because of a word from Milong, he and his wife begged for more than 20 days and arrived in Zenda.

From this we can see that he is a man who values ​​friendship and loyalty.

In addition, it should be pointed out that in order to obtain military aid from the US military as quickly as possible, the early expeditionary forces sent out elite troops with a certain level of education in order to familiarize themselves with American equipment.

So at the beginning Krupp was not cannon fodder, and was even treated well. Later, he was conquered by Long Wenjian's charm and was willing to stay.

After all, he has a good family background and good abilities, so he is a treasure wherever he goes.

"Look at my small cannon." Cun Yunsheng pointed to a row of mortars.

"60mm mortar and 81mm mortar." After all, Krupp studied artillery in Germany. He was familiar with all kinds of artillery and recognized them at a glance.

"The 60mm mortar is old, with some wear and tear, and the 81mm mortar is new."

Krupp was slightly surprised when he said the last sentence.

"Commander, are you going to form an artillery company?"

"Yes, I have been worried about not having the right person before. Now that you are here, these mortars have room to play."

"What do you think? Do you have confidence?" Cun Yunsheng patted the other person's shoulder with a smile.

Hearing this, Krupp was not polite and spoke directly.

"No problem, but the training consumes a lot of ammunition. Are you sure you have enough?"

Except for the years when I studied abroad, when I didn't have to worry about artillery shells, I had to count the shells every time they were fired.

To the extent that Krupp now developed the habit of being stingy.

"Of course we have enough. More than 200 shells. Are they enough? If not, I will find another way." Cun Yunsheng had a heroic look on his face, without any hesitation.

He also knew that artillery required training. With sufficient artillery shells, even an idiot could be trained into an elite unit.

Hearing this, a long-lost smile appeared on Krupp's honest face.

These are not the main reasons why Cun Yunsheng is looking for the other party. His real target is Krupp’s classmates.

"Krupp, did you have any classmates during your years studying in Germany? Did you have any comrades in your previous unit?"

Meng, who was standing next to him, couldn't help but curl his lips in disgust. His own commander was starting to fool people again.

Krupp was stunned at first, then he had a simple and honest expression.

"Yes, but most of them are Germans. They are probably on the battlefield now. Some of my classmates returned home early because of the outbreak of the Battle of Shanghai. Most of them died."

As he spoke, a trace of sadness appeared on Krupp's face, and then he returned to his previous honest look.

After hearing this, Cun Yunsheng understood that some of his classmates were studying abroad on government funding, but when the war broke out, they graduated early and returned to China to join the war.

He studied abroad at his own expense, so he returned home only after completing his course.

This makes sense. Before, he was wondering why Krupp was doing so poorly.

"Where are his comrades?" Cun Yunsheng looked at the other party eagerly. He lacked everything now, so he could only seek help from the people around him.

Meng is tired, there is no need to dig anymore. He is a complete idiot and his comrades are almost all dead already.

My classmates can do some digging, but they are all top students and may not think highly of this small temple.

"There are only a few left." Krupp also guessed the other party's thoughts. It was not that he was disgusted, but that most of them had died on the battlefield.

Artillery has always been the focus of the Japanese army. They were either taken care of by the Japanese artillery or bombed by fighter planes. Very few artillerymen could survive.

Hearing this, Cun Yunsheng felt a little disappointed.

Looking at Cun Yunsheng's lost expression, Krupp scratched his head, thought for a while and said.

"Commander, do you want me to recruit someone? I have a few candidates."

　I have a stomachache, so I’ll update one chapter first. There’s still one chapter to go, and I’ll try to finish it in the morning. Sorry!
