Chapter 67 is too wide, I don’t know how to play it!

"Li Ula, what kind of bullshit rapid-fire method did the Americans teach us? How many bullets should be fired in one minute? I think it's nonsense." Bula found Li Liansheng and complained bitterly.

"Yeah, damn it, thirty bullets a minute." Yao Ma also echoed.

"A basic amount of ammunition only lasts three or four minutes. With this kind of fighting style, no amount of ammunition will be enough."

"Yes, you two are right." Li Liansheng nodded in agreement.

"If we were in China, we would definitely be scolded by our superiors for playing like this, and we would be regarded as prodigal sons. But have you forgotten where we are?"

"Myanmar, have you forgotten what the commander said?"

"We use guns provided by the Americans, and naturally the bullets are also provided by the Americans."

"Why worry about ammunition?"

Hearing this, Bu La and Yao Ma looked at each other and instantly came to their senses.

Yup!

Why are they worried about ammunition?
The Americans' reckless fighting style is naturally not suitable for the Chinese army. The main reason is that domestic ammunition is very precious and they cannot afford it.

If they used some kind of rapid-fire fighting style back home, they would probably be greeted with punches and kicks from their superiors.

Based on the output of their arsenals, I'm afraid not even an entire division can support such a style of warfare.

But it's different now.

Behind them were the Yankees, and their ammunition was piled up like a mountain.

Not to mention that the British have countless ammunition in their warehouses.

Therefore, their worries about the shortage of ammunition were purely unnecessary.

"Damn it, I've been living a hard life for so long, and suddenly I can't get used to this kind of rich young man's lifestyle." Yao Ma touched his head and said awkwardly.

It's their fault that the Sichuan Army has never been rich before, and suddenly became rich. I don't know how they became rich in this way.

"I'm used to it. I only thought about saving ammunition and never thought that these were reimbursed by the Americans."

"Li Wula, you are right. From now on I will change this petty habit and be more generous." Although Bu La said this, there was still a trace of heartache in his eyes.

It was so heartbreaking to see the yellow bullet shells scattered all over the ground.

"The bullets haven't been used up yet." Doubing couldn't help wailing as he looked at the ammunition boxes piled as high as a person behind him.

He used to dream of becoming a main shooter so that he could squander bullets as much as he wanted.

After all, infantrymen also have to consider the consumption of bullets and try to kill one enemy with one shot.

The machine gunner doesn't have so many concerns.

So Doubing has always wanted to be a machine gunner.

Now he has become a heavy machine gunner as he wished, and he regrets it very much.

According to the requirements of the American instructors, they must use up 10,000 rounds of ammunition before finishing their meal.

Ten thousand bullets.

In the past, that was the entire cost of an entire regiment or a battle.

Now he is asked to complete all the lighting in one afternoon.

It's really torture.

The gun barrel turned red when he shot, but he was only halfway there.

There is no other way. After cooling it down with cold water, remove the barrel and replace it with a new one.

That's right, in addition to weapons, there are also various accessories that can be replaced at any time.

Normally, a heavy machine gun will be equipped with several barrels.

The US military even directly equipped it with more than ten gun barrels.

Don't care about consumption at all.

Anyway, the point is, use ammunition to feed enough sharpshooters.

Such powerful logistical supply capabilities opened the eyes of the soldiers of the Sichuan Army.

"There's almost half left. I don't think we can finish it before dinner." The assistant shooter next to him also looked desperate.

Compared to infantrymen who only need 300 rounds of bullets, light machine gunners only need 3,000 rounds of bullets, and the heavy machine guns have so many bullets that it is despairing.

The original dream has now become a nightmare.

If he were given another chance, Doubing would definitely not choose the machine gunner again.

Compared to Doubing's despair, the soldiers who had just joined the 200th Division were not necessarily doing much better.

They were also shocked by this grand gesture.

Although the 200th Division was not short of ammunition, it was the first time they had encountered a situation where they had hundreds of bullets and were not allowed to eat until they had used up all the bullets.

"These bullets are like they are free, but they are wasted like this? It would be great if we kept them to fight the Japanese." Wang Yunqi said with a click of his tongue.

"I thought the 200th Division was very powerful, but I didn't expect that compared with them, we are just a bunch of losers." The soldier next to him said.

"Okay, be careful with your words next time. We are now members of the Sichuan Army Corps. We can't keep talking about the 200th Division. It has a bad influence." Wang Yunqi glanced around and said in a low voice.

"This Sichuan Army Corps is definitely more promising than the 200th Division. It's definitely a good idea to follow them."

"Lao Wang, are you betraying me now?" His companions looked at him in confusion.

"What do you mean by betrayal? We are now soldiers of the Sichuan Army. We must be clear about this, otherwise we won't know how we will die in the future." Wang Yunqi looked as if he was disappointed in his friend.

"Ah? Lao Wang, we really can't go back?" said the companion reluctantly.

"Why go back? There are at least 200 soldiers like us in the th Division, if not . If we want to be promoted, it will never be our turn."

"But it's different here. With our military qualities, I believe we'll be reused soon, but we have to be clear about it. Otherwise, no matter how capable you are, no one will use you." Wang Yunqi shook his head and said.

He did not have such deep feelings for the 200th Division. Although it was known as the world's number one mechanized division, its combat record was just so-so.

There are also many internal struggles. If you want to get promoted, in addition to mastering deep theoretical knowledge, you also have to rely on your connections and luck.

Wang Yunqi's words were recognized by many people.

Why were they assigned to the Sichuan Army? It’s because they have no connections and their strength is not top-notch.

But now, the Sichuan Army is different, they have countless opportunities.

As long as you work hard, you will be promoted.

Because they found out that several battalion and company commanders were originally cannon fodder, the kind that no one wanted.

Now he is not only the battalion commander, but also a very successful person. Holding the support of the US military and enjoying unlimited ammunition supply, this feeling is really great.

Unless you are a fool, you will definitely make a decision.

"Well, what you said makes sense. It looks like we have to perform well." The companion nodded in agreement.

At the Sichuan Army Corps Headquarters, Cun Yunsheng looked at Lin Yi and asked.

"How are those people from the 200th Division? Are they honest?"

"They are basically very honest and they are not sloppy in their training. I have to say that their military quality is much higher than ours."

"Especially in the use of new weapons, they learn much faster than our soldiers." Lin Yi sighed lightly. He didn't expect the gap between the two sides to be so big.

"Very normal." Cun Yunsheng didn't react much.

It would be really strange if these people were not as well trained as the Sichuan Army.

"Not to mention that they are directly under the command of Shancheng and their ammunition supply is never interrupted. Their average literacy rate is much higher than ours," Cun Yunsheng explained.

"We'll test them for a while. If there are no problems, we'll promote them. Let them join the Sichuan Army Corps to serve as the backbone and improve the overall combat effectiveness. Otherwise, why would I go to so much trouble to get them here?"

"Do you really treat me like a master and support me?"

"Yes." Lin Yi did not refute Cun Yunsheng's order.

He also believes that having these people serve as the backbone will definitely enhance the overall combat effectiveness of the troops.

"Also, ask Milong to prepare more dry food. We don't have much time left. It's time to retreat." Cun Yunsheng sighed and gave the order again.

"What? Are we retreating? Aren't we going to fight a battle in Tonggu?" Lin Yi looked at the other party in confusion.

As a combat staff officer, Cun Yunsheng could not hide some combat plans from the other side, so he naturally knew the plan of the Tonggu battle.

"The British have all run away, what's the point of fighting?" Cun Yunsheng said unhappily.

"If you stay any longer, you'll be surrounded by the Japanese."

"Two divisions, nearly 200 people, are enough to destroy the th Division. Even if the main force of the Fifth Army arrives, it will be useless."

"The British army refused to send out fighter planes, so we could only endure the bombing by the Japanese."

"The 200th Division's tanks are superior, but facing fighter planes, they can only be bombed. Are they going to die here?"

The battle had reached this point, and everyone knew that without air superiority, deploying tanks would only lead to being bombed.

"But, just retreat like that? The 18th Division won't fight anymore?" Lin Yi asked anxiously.

"Who told you that the 18th Division will not fight?" Cun Yunsheng looked at the other party strangely.

"Aren't you going to retreat? How are you going to fight?" Lin Yi was even more confused.

"Ayi, use your brain. After the Japanese army captures Tonggu, they will definitely divide their forces. We should ambush them on their way forward and focus on the 18th Division."

"If I'm not mistaken, after the Japanese army captures Tonggu, the 18th Division will definitely head north to Tangji. At that time, we will ambush in this area and catch the Japanese off guard." Cun Yunsheng felt that Lin Yi, who had never fought in a war, did not have a keen sense of the battlefield.

If it were Meng Fanle, he would definitely be able to guess my true thoughts at the first moment.

After listening to it, Lin Yi showed an expression of sudden enlightenment.

"Yes, I will go inform Milong right away."

After Lin Yi left, Cun Yunsheng looked at the map, sighed and muttered.

"Dai Anlan, what will you choose? Will you just obey orders? Will you go back from Savage Mountain?"

On the other side, at the 200th Division Headquarters, Dai Anlan frowned slightly as he looked at the telegram sent from the Expeditionary Force Headquarters.

Before this, Stilwell also sent a telegram.

I hope the 200th Division can continue to hold Tonggu. As long as they hold on for a period of time, the main force will arrive.

Not only that, the Sichuan Army at the airport will also cooperate with them to defend Tonggu.

Stilwell even promised to provide a batch of weapons and equipment.

It can be said that the conditions are very good.

If it were someone else, they might have agreed.

After all, Stilwell is the Allied commander, and his orders can be obeyed.

But Dai Anlan pretended not to see it.

After glancing at the contents of the telegram, Dai Anlan took a deep breath.

He didn't expect the situation to turn out like this.

The original plan was to launch the Battle of Tonggu after the Fifth Army arrived.

But now the Fifth Army has retreated, and at the same time required the 200th Division to retreat eastward, and then retreat northward to the Lashio area.

As a direct descendant, he naturally had to carry out Du Yuming's plan.

"Is the commander-in-chief going to withdraw?" Zheng Tingji asked worriedly after reading the telegram.

If they had known they had to retreat, they wouldn't have had to exchange people for weapons.

You can't just return the weapons to them now?
Get the person back?
This is so embarrassing.

Dai Anlan didn't think so much, but was thinking about how to retreat.

A rear guard troop must be left behind, otherwise if the Japanese army attacks, the 200th Division will be in danger.

But who should be left behind?
There are three infantry regiments, and it is really difficult for him to make a decision.

For a moment, his eyes turned to the map, the location of the airport.

"The Sichuan Army?"

"What reason can I use to convince them to stay and cover us?" Dai Anlan couldn't help but feel a headache.

"Commander, how about I lead the 598th Regiment to stay behind and cover our retreat?" Zheng Tingji stood up and said.

"Let me think about it." Dai Anlan did not agree immediately but hesitated.

"Send someone to contact the Sichuan Army and ask them if they are interested in garrisoning Tonggu City." After thinking for a while, Dai Anlan said.

After these words were spoken, Zheng Tingji and others looked at each other in bewilderment. The other party was not a fool. How could he agree to such a suicidal behavior?

"Send someone to ask. If they agree to garrison in Tonggu, I can give them another company of soldiers."

"Yes, Master."
