Chapter 84 Aren’t anti-aircraft guns used to shoot down airplanes?
"Isn't the British living a very luxurious life?" He looked at the British-style building in front of him, with its chandeliers, dance floor, and all other luxurious items, and all the furniture was made of rosewood.

Outside the building are gardens, swimming pools, etc., it can be said that it has everything.

"This should be a vacation villa, right?" Lin Yi, a young man from Shanghai, has seen the world. Looking at the scene in front of him, he couldn't help but sigh.

"Captain Ayi, is your eyesight poor? This is clearly the British Army's headquarters. Don't you see the sign hanging outside?" Meng curled his lips in annoyance and looked carefully at the building in front of him.

"Rosewood, the British really know how to enjoy themselves."

Cun Yunsheng didn't show any big expression. To him, it was just a house.

"For the British, this is their colony. There are coolies everywhere. It doesn't cost any money to let these natives build houses, so why not enjoy themselves?" Cun Yunsheng said casually.

"So, those natives chose to help the Japanese army deal with us?" Meng Fanle seemed to understand why those natives would pass information to the Japanese army. It was because they had been oppressed for too long.

"That's right, but what they didn't expect was that the Japanese army was a hundred times more brutal than the British army."

"Now the Japanese army has not revealed its true nature in order to drive the British army away as quickly as possible."

"Once all the British troops are driven away, these natives will cry for their parents." Cun Yunsheng looked indifferent. He could even guess the fate of these natives.

Don’t be fooled by the fact that there are many guides now, they are quite happy to lead the way.

When you get to the end, the more happy you are now, the more misery will be in the future.

"Commander, the city has been cleared. Those who took advantage of the fire to loot have all been shot according to your order. Some even knelt down and begged for mercy." Li Liansheng hesitated for a moment, but still said it with a stiff upper lip.

"Huh?" Cun Yunsheng was stunned and looked at the other person's expression.

"We don't have enough manpower to guard them right now. Let Sun Yunfei handle it."

It's not that he didn't want to order the killing of those who were taking advantage of the situation, but he had to consider the thoughts of the Sichuan Army soldiers.

So the most suitable person for this matter is Sun Yunfei.

He is a local Chinese and has been rooted in Myanmar for three generations.

It can be said that it has basically integrated with the local area.

They won't have so much psychological burden if they come forward.

"Yes." Li Liansheng breathed a sigh of relief. He really couldn't bear to attack those unarmed natives.

It would be most appropriate to hand it over to Sun Yunfei. There are many local Chinese in his volunteer team, and some of them have deep hatred with the indigenous people. It would be best to let them deal with this kind of thing by their own people.

"Have you found the supplies?" Cun Yunsheng was more concerned about the supply of supplies. Now that the airport was occupied by the Japanese army, it would be impossible to airlift supplies.

The little bit of supplies airdropped could not meet the needs of the entire group.

"Sir, this is Tangji's defense map. All places in the city are marked on it, including the warehouse." Lin Yi quickly took out a map, spread it in front of Cun Yunsheng, and then said.

"But I have sent people to check the warehouse, and there are no military supplies in it."

"No food?" Cun Yunsheng frowned slightly. He knew that the entire Eastern Front Expeditionary Force would be in great crisis.

Therefore, food reserves must be prepared in advance.

"No, according to the interrogation, we learned that the British army had already transported a large amount of food to the train station before they retreated. After the Japanese army occupied Tangji, they were captured by us before they had time to clean up," Lin Yi explained quickly.

"So, what you mean is? Actually, all these grains are now at the train station?" Cun Yunsheng immediately understood what the other party meant.

"Yes, they should all be at the train station." Lin Yi nodded and pointed to the place marked with the train station on the map.

After listening to Lin Yi's analysis, Cun Yunsheng nodded and instantly understood.

First of all, after the British army lost 140,000 troops in the Malay War, they knew they were no match for the Japanese army.

So after the Japanese army landed in Yangon, they began to transport supplies northward little by little by rail.

Needless to say, where it was shipped to was naturally Myitkyina, and then shipped to India by car.

After all, the British army is not stupid and knows that the most important thing in war is logistics.

Not to mention that other battlefields also require a large amount of material support.

So when the British army began to choose to retreat, the first thing to do was to transport supplies.

As soon as Tangji's British army transported the supplies to the train station, they encountered the Japanese army and had to abandon the supplies and retreat.

There was only one Japanese battalion that occupied Tangji. It was already very difficult to defend the city, let alone transport supplies.

Finally, these supplies fell into the hands of the Sichuan Army, and Cun Yunsheng was very excited at this moment.

He was curious whether it would bring him a surprise.

When they arrived at the train station, the place had already been taken over by Bu La and the people from the Second Battalion.

"Commander, we have wiped out all the natives who harassed the train station." Seeing Cun Yunsheng coming, Bula saluted without saying a word.

"Well done." Cun Yunsheng patted the other person's shoulder and said with a smile.

He then led his men to the interior of the train station, looked at the train cars in front of him, and signaled his subordinates to open them.

All I saw were carriages filled with supplies.

gasoline!

Seasonal rice!

drug!

There are also countless ammunition and weapons!
And a large number of heavy artillery pieces, including a large number of shells.

He even saw anti-aircraft machine guns and 88mm anti-aircraft guns. The 88mm anti-aircraft guns in particular made Cun Yunsheng's eyes light up.

There is a saying that goes, put down the anti-aircraft guns and conduct military courts.

Cun Yunsheng had always hoped to have one or two anti-aircraft guns, but unfortunately, they never appeared.

I didn't expect to meet you here.

"88mm Bofors anti-aircraft gun." Cun Yunsheng had just finished speaking when he was refuted by Krupp.

"Commander, this should be a British 3.7-inch MK4 anti-aircraft gun, with a caliber of 94mm, a rate of fire of 20 rounds per minute, and a maximum range of 1.88 meters horizontally. When vertically, the maximum firing height is 9000 meters."

"I didn't realize that you, Krupp, know so much." Meng Fanle was really surprised this time. He always thought that Krupp was bragging, but he didn't expect that he could actually report so many parameters of this anti-aircraft gun.

"Is it really not an 88mm anti-aircraft gun?" Cun Yunsheng asked somewhat disappointedly.

"No, although it is a bit similar, it is really not. This anti-aircraft gun is still very powerful. I didn't expect to encounter it here. It seems that the British army wants to establish an anti-aircraft artillery position in Tangji." When it comes to his expertise, Krupp can talk about it for three days and three nights.

"Do you know how to use it?" Cun Yunsheng asked again.

"No, there are no suitable personnel. But give me some time and it should be no problem. In this way, we will have anti-aircraft guns and will be able to fight back against Japanese planes in the future." Krupp shook his head at first, but then said that as long as he gave himself some time, he would be able to learn it.

Hearing this, Cun Yunsheng didn't care about anti-aircraft guns shooting down planes, but asked.

"Can it be laid flat to attack tanks? If not, it can be used against infantry. If this thing is used against infantry, it will be absolutely brutal. One shot can kill a large number of Japanese troops."

Krupp was stunned by Cun Yunsheng's remarks.

Aren't anti-aircraft guns used to deal with airplanes?

Why would you think of dealing with tanks?

Is this still normal human thinking?
Others also looked at Cun Yunsheng in disbelief.

"Commander, how did you come up with the idea of ​​laying the anti-aircraft gun flat?" Krupp expressed everyone's doubts.

"Isn't this a consensus?" Cun Yunsheng felt that the question this guy asked was really stupid.

If the anti-aircraft gun is placed horizontally, its power is definitely much greater than that of the 81mm mortar.

Krupp didn't know what to say for a moment, he just said that he would study it to see if he could put it at ease.

"Commander, what should we do now? Most of the weapons inside are British weapons, which conflict with the caliber of our weapons." Lin Yi asked with a dry mouth as he looked at the supplies in front of him.

"Give all the rifles and other items to Sun Yunfei's volunteer team. It just so happens that his volunteer team needs weapons."

"Let Milong find a way to fry the fresh rice and let each soldier carry some as rations for the road." Cun Yunsheng said as he looked at the rice in front of him.

"Fried rice?" Many people were stunned at first, and then felt it was a pity.

It's such a pity to fry such fresh rice like this.

However, they also knew that they could not move all the rice. Instead of leaving it to the Japanese army, they might as well fry it all and use it as rations on the road.

"Let Milong think of a way to fry it with lard. It will be more fragrant." Cun Yunsheng added.

"Lard?" Everyone looked at each other in confusion. Everyone knew that Tangji's pigs were going to be in trouble next.

"Yes, use lard. Marching on the road consumes a lot of physical energy. Rice fried with lard and soaked in water to drink can quickly replenish the soldiers' physical strength." This is the best way Cun Yunsheng can think of.

If the Allies had air superiority now, he would not let the soldiers live so hard.

With the U.S. military's powerful logistical capabilities, it can airdrop supplies every day.

However, the British army was not doing its job well, and the sky over Burma was filled with Japanese fighter planes, so he could only find a way to solve the logistics problem himself.

"As for those cans, let everyone take some. You can bring less weapons and ammunition, but make sure you bring a lot of food. If there is really not enough space, let Milong recruit some porters and give them more money. We have seized a lot of pounds, so take them out and spend them." Cun Yunsheng ordered again.

These pounds were looted from the Japanese soldiers while cleaning up the battlefield. They were not much money, but when accumulated they were a considerable sum, enough to pay the porters' wages.

"Yes." Lin Yi immediately wrote it all down.

On the other side, Sun Yunfei was dealing with the surrendered natives. He also knew why Cun Yunsheng asked him to deal with it.

So he very cleverly recruited the Chinese in the city who had a blood feud with the natives.

"Is everything resolved?" After the gunfire stopped, Sun Yunfei walked in and asked expressionlessly.

"No one is left alive. Thank you, Commander Sun. Without you, I would never be able to take revenge in this life. From now on, my life belongs to you." A Chinese man knelt in front of Sun Yunfei and said solemnly.

After the Japanese army retreated, his family was killed by these natives who broke in. If he had not been out for something, he would probably have died too.

After the Sichuan Army put down the Tangji riot, he returned home and saw his family being killed. He immediately vowed to kill all those damn natives.

When Sun Yunfei's volunteer team recruited local Chinese, he immediately signed up and was assigned this task.

He had no psychological burden for this task.

After all, these people were the real murderers of his family.

After his great revenge was achieved, he secretly swore to sell his life to the volunteer team from then on.

"Your life belongs to you. Live well. I believe that under the leadership of Commander Cun, we will be able to drive away the Japanese army and rebuild our home." Sun Yunfei shook his head and then said seriously.

"Yes, sir, what kind of person is Commander Cun?" the man asked very curiously.

"He is a very courageous man. Believe me, joining the volunteer team will definitely be the best decision you will make in your life." Sun Yunfei said.

"Yes, sir. If I hadn't met you, my family would have died in vain." The man nodded heavily.

 Old rules, update first and then make changes, there’s more to come!
