Draw the sword and cure the fear of insufficient firepower

But Lin Tian was not worried, because history had proven that the Eighth Route Army was right.

And the things that Lin Tian just lamented about did not happen.

After our country and nation gained independence, we prospered.

The great powers were also hit by us one after another and began to really examine us.

Lin Tian’s shortcoming is probably that Begonia Leaf and the devils were not destroyed.

Lin Tian patted his head and drank a sip of tea, since he had come here.

Such incidents will definitely not be allowed to happen again.

Moreover, our ancestors were able to achieve victory even when they had nothing but poverty.

Lin Tian doesn’t have to worry anymore.

It’s just that now with his help, our pace to victory will be faster and more powerful.

The leaves of the Chinese begonia will definitely remain completely intact.

The large tracts of land ceded by the Qing Dynasty must also be recovered.

Especially Outer Manchuria and Outer Northwest China, which were taken away by Tsarist Russia.

There are rich mineral resources there, and they must be firmly held in China's own hands.

As for the Japanese devils, Lin Tian will definitely let them help them fulfill their dream of 100 million people dying in battle.

Oh, by the way, there are also those annoying monkeys jumping around in Southeast Asia. I will take this opportunity to educate them as well.

Anyway, they haven't established a country yet, they are just colonies of the great powers.

At that time, just find a reason, such as helping them drive away the colonists.

Let them experience again what the Celestial Empire is, what the heavenly soldiers are, and what their real father is!

And that disgusting maggot from the Western Eight Kingdoms was also dealt with.

Let him know what it feels like to be oppressed by the suzerain country.

Lin Tian got excited just thinking about it. In the future, no matter if they are monkeys or bastards, they are all running dogs of the Americans, coming here to disgust us all day long.

This time we solved the problem directly from the root, which can benefit our brothers in the future.

Maybe... we can support a few Chinese puppets in Europe and America and let them disgust Europe and America...

The enemy can go and I can go too!

By then, we will also be able to experience the cool American scripts.

There was a gleam in Lin Tian's eyes, and a plan came to his mind.

I haven't finished reading the list of supplies on the table. The weapons and equipment delivered to the headquarters this time include the captured equipment and the equipment of the Japanese and the Central Army rewarded by the system.

There are also a large number of weapons and equipment from the first division.

On Lin Tian's side, Division 1 is already on the right track.

They have yet to use up all the equipment awarded by the system.

Lin Tian kept several batches for his own use, as well as for recruiting new soldiers for the following troops. In combination with the current logistical and transportation capabilities of the Eighth Route Army, he made a reasonable deployment of weapons.

Including 56 Type 8000 semi-automatic rifles and a number of bullets.

2000 Maxim heavy machine guns and a number of bullets.

42 MG-50 general-purpose machine guns and a number of bullets.

4000 Czech light machine guns and a number of bullets.

2000 PPSh submachine guns and some bullets.

107 100mm rocket launchers and a number of rockets.

1 M2A105 100mm howitzers and a number of shells.

10 Katyusha rocket launchers and a number of rockets.

Lin Tian looked at the weapons and equipment on the list and was quite satisfied.

In fact, there are a total of 42 MG-3000 general-purpose machine guns in Division 100, and Lin Tian only took away of them. It’s not that Lin Tian was stingy and didn’t want to part with them.

It's really that this thing consumes too many bullets. Friendly troops would definitely be scared when facing the horrific amount of ammunition consumption.

There are also PPSh submachine guns. There are at least tens of thousands of them in the First Division now, and almost every soldier in the First Division has one.

Lin Tian also only gave away 2000 of them, the principle is the same.

If you send too much, it will become a burden to friendly forces.

When the war breaks out, a large number of personnel will inevitably be assigned to take charge of logistics, which will inevitably affect the combat effectiveness of our army.

We also need to deploy a large number of personnel to ensure the safety of logistical transportation. The Japanese are not pushovers. Once they find out that we have a large number of transport troops, they will definitely send heavy troops to intercept us, and may even send planes to bomb and strafe us.

By then, the casualties will increase.

Lin Tian didn't want to make such a joke.

Therefore, it is more cost-effective to send fewer guns and more bullets.

The Eighth Route Army’s arsenal might not be able to produce bullets for the MG-42 and PPSh, and even if it could, it’s hard to say about the quality.

And the ones built are probably not enough for fighting.

This will indeed have a great impact on our combat effectiveness and logistics.

But, he couldn't not send it off. After all, it would be a bit unkind of Lin Tian not to send it off.

So, it is Lin Tian’s business whether to send it or not.

At that time, whether or not they are willing to fight will be a matter for General Lao and the troops under him.

And then there is the artillery aspect.

Lin Tian sent all 100 M1A2 105mm howitzers rewarded by the system to the headquarters, including the shells.

These 105mm howitzers can be considered heavy artillery for the current Chinese battlefield.

If the Eighth Route Army captured a mortar, they would be so happy that they would not be able to sleep for several days.

Some troops have never even touched a cannon.

Some troops could only rely on swords and spears to kill the enemy.

Therefore, these 100 105mm howitzers will greatly enhance our army's firepower output.

There are also 200 107mm rocket launchers and 20 Katyusha rocket launchers.

The principle is the same, Lin Tian also equipped more shells.

Sometimes, too much is a burden. Not only is it difficult to transport, but it is also impossible to replenish it in time when the shells are used up.

Only Lin Tian has rockets. No other place has ever seen them, let alone manufacture or seize them.

With these powerful artillery pieces, we will be able to fight against the Japanese in the future.

This is definitely a qualitative leap in the development of the Eighth Route Army's strength.

……

The next morning, the sky was just getting light and the air still carried the chill of the night.

A light breeze blew, bringing a slight dampness.

The moon has not completely disappeared yet, it is still hanging in the sky and can only be seen if you pay a little attention.

And the sun has already illuminated half the sky.

The convoy of Division 1, as well as the guard platoon and a company of escort personnel, had already eaten breakfast, brought enough dry food, and assembled and were on standby.

Cadres at all levels in the First Division also stood in front of the car, waiting in line.

Soon, Lin Tian appeared in everyone's sight.

"Hey, why are you all crowding here instead of doing your own things?!"

"I'm not the bride, what's there to see?!"

Lin Tian was stunned for a few seconds, then cursed with a smile.

Lin Tian naturally understood that everyone came to see him off.

After all, he has never left the army since he took charge of a division.

It is natural for everyone to feel reluctant.

But Lin Tian didn't like this kind of separation scene.

Especially these guys, they take it so seriously.

It’s not like he’s not coming back…
