With the arrival of the first batch of supplies, the morale of the Northern Army was greatly boosted.

After the supplies were unloaded, the convoy immediately returned to the loading site to load the second batch of supplies.

At the same time, Rommel also dispatched trucks, barrel trucks, screw-horse vehicles and convoys from the current troops to go together.

Such a large convoy could easily attract the attention of the Allied Air Force.

Rommel also wanted to send fighter planes into the air to drive away any Allied aircraft that might come to conduct reconnaissance.

However, Li Jingrong stopped him and said, "Leave it all to us. No Allied aircraft will be able to come here today."

"If this batch of supplies is blown up, I will transport the second batch intact."

Although in his opinion, Li Jingrong's words were a bit of bragging.

But since he said so, he couldn't afford to offend him.

"Do you have fighter planes nearby?"

In response to Rommel's questions, Li Jingrong answered fluently and had already thought of an excuse.

"You can think of it this way. This is also our company's secret. After the Führer agreed to our aid plan, we arranged for some troops to be stationed nearby."

"After all, if we want to break through the Allied blockade and transport so many supplies in, we definitely can't do it without using some tricks."

"What do you think, General Rommel?"

After hearing this, Rommel nodded in agreement.

Even it was not easy for them to transport supplies from the country, and they needed the escort of a large number of warships.

As an arms company, Umbrella must have its own security forces and secret passages.

He didn't care what this secret passage was. What he cared about most was whether the weapons and supplies could reach his hands.

"That's right, don't worry, I have no interest in your secrets. As long as the things can be in my hands, that's all that matters."

In just a few words, the two sides reached a tacit understanding.

This of course saved Li Jingrong a lot of trouble.

As the old saying goes, once you tell a lie, you have to cover it up with countless lies, and the more you cover it up, the more loopholes there will be.

It would be better to just say it directly, which would also help establish the mysterious and unusual image of Umbrella Corporation.

This is a good thing for future cooperation.

Soon, the second, third, and fourth batches of equipment and supplies were delivered one after another.

These batches were loaded with weapons and ammunition.

Especially artillery shells and rockets, which are not only heavy but also numerous.

The fifth batch began to carry rocket launchers and artillery.

In addition, a number of oil barrels were transported over, all of which were filled with fuel.

During this period, Li Jingrong also told Rommel in detail about this batch of weapons and equipment.

"200 122mm and 152mm howitzers and 122mm cannons."

"The performance of these artillery pieces is relatively advanced, especially our 122mm cannon, which has a maximum range of

"In addition to these howitzers and cannons, I also brought 150 107mm light rocket launchers and 50 130mm self-propelled rocket launchers."

"There are also sufficient artillery shells and rocket launchers, enough to fight several medium to large-scale battles."

During World War II, artillery played a very important role.

Especially for a battle, whoever has more artillery and can fire farther will have an advantage in the war.

The Northern Army is currently equipped with more than 300 artillery pieces of various types, most of which are small and medium caliber artillery pieces.

And the Allied forces on the opposite side received support from the Eagle Sauce.

Not only are there more artillery pieces, but their quality is also better than theirs.

The artillery support provided by Li Jingrong can be said to be a timely help.

Not only are there as many as 122 guns, but the smallest caliber is mm.

And there are cannons in it.

Not only that, those rocket launchers were also a timely rain.

Most of the rocket launchers ordered domestically were shipped to the Eastern Front.

The number of troops assigned to their Northern Army Corps was not large.

Moreover, this weapon consumes a terrifying amount of ammunition, and he will only use it at critical moments.

With these artillery and fuel, Rommel was very confident about the upcoming war.

After being equipped with these weapons and equipment, they not only have extremely strong defensive capabilities.

At the same time, they regained their offensive capabilities.

However, the most important problem at present is that he no longer has enough people to operate such a large number of weapons and equipment.

Li Jingrong said at this time: "Although your allies are very bad at fighting, they should have sufficient technical troops."

After hearing this, Rommel's eyes lit up.

Although these noodle soldiers are bad teammates, if they are just kept in the rear.

It's much more reliable than staying in the front.

But this is not enough, he must apply for reinforcements from the country.

He also knew the current situation on the Eastern Front, so he planned to apply for a group of new recruits.

It took a day and a night to transport all the supplies.

During this period, just as Li Jingrong said, no Allied fighter planes came to harass.

This made Rommel very curious about how Li Jingrong did it.

He actually had an air force deployed around him without even knowing it.

But he didn't care too much.

Both sides are allies tied to the same chariot, and their interests are deeply involved.

So there is no need to worry that the other party will do something that is not in your favor.

The reason why there were no Allied planes coming to conduct reconnaissance over Gazala was certainly not because the Allies were so honest.

Instead, all the fighter planes they sent were shot down.

During this day, Montgomery sent several batches of reconnaissance planes.

One batch has as many as 12 aircraft.

Because Montgomery received a secret report that the German troops near Gazala were acting unusually.

In order to find out what the Northern Army was doing, he naturally chose to send fighter jets to investigate.

Then, whenever these fighter planes approached Gazala, they would be mysteriously attacked, and no fighter planes would run back.

After trying a few times, he had to give up the idea.

The reason why this happened is naturally related to Li Jingrong.

Taking into account the limited warning range of the ground radar here.

So Li Jingrong directly purchased a total of three ZDK03 airborne early warning aircraft from Zhihuajia.

Although this early warning aircraft uses the second-generation airborne early warning radar from the 80s, it is already outdated for the 21st century.

But in this era, he is an extremely advanced person.

With this air command platform, the Allied fighter planes naturally could not enter the sky above Gazala unless they sent a large-scale combat aircraft group.

In addition to these early warning aircraft, Li Jingrong also purchased a squadron of JF-17 fighter jets.

This is one of his trump cards.

In order to ensure the safe transportation of this batch of supplies, he naturally took out this trump card.

After finishing the affairs in the north, Li Jingrong bid farewell to Rommel and rushed back to northwest Shanxi without stopping.

Even though nothing happened here, I still felt a little uneasy after being away for so long.

Li Yunlong lived a very comfortable life during this period.

The Japanese have been acting aggressively recently not only because they are afraid of the Independent Regiment, but also because they need to accumulate strength to prepare for the attack.

Therefore, they behaved very honestly and did not send any troops to harass Zuoyun County.

On Li Yunlong's side, everything went according to the original plan: changing clothes, training, expansion, and development.

The boss Li Yunlong just drinks a little wine every day, learns cultural knowledge from Zhao Gang, and spends some time handling military affairs.

The development of Zuoyun County no longer needs him at all.

Because the headquarters has sent a team to take over.

Currently, Li Yunlong and they are getting along very well, and everything is going very smoothly.

However, Li Yunlong did not relax and always kept his troops vigilant.

According to the intelligence collected from all sides, it can be seen that the Japanese army will launch an offensive in the summer, or at the latest in the autumn.

The troops they mobilized from all sides have already been in place one after another, and it is impossible for them to delay too long for northwestern Shanxi.

When Li Jingrong returned to Zuoyun County, Li Yunlong, Zhao Gang and his party came to greet him warmly.

"Brother, brother, you are finally back. I missed you so much." Facing Li Yunlong's bear hug, Li Jingrong dodged directly.

What's the point of two grown men hugging each other? Wouldn't it be nice for him to go home and hug a woman?

After Li Jingrong dodged Li Yunlong's bear hug, he said, "Don't be so stubborn. I didn't bring anything for you this time."

Li Yunlong immediately became unhappy.

"Brother Li, is this the image you have of me, Li Yunlong? Do you really need me to bring something before I welcome you? I, Li Yunlong, am not such a powerful person."

Li Jingrong sneered, looked at Zhao Gang and said, "Zhao Zuiwei, tell me who Li Yunlong is."

Zhao Gang smiled but didn't say anything, his meaning was very clear.

"Okay, let's get down to business, brother. Let's go to the headquarters and I'll tell you what happened in our base during this period."

Although the Deep Blue Guard here will inform him of everything that happens.

But he still wanted to listen to see if there was anything he didn't know.

The first is the development of the troops.

The current independent regiment still maintains its previous size and has not continued to expand its forces.

Instead, they began to vigorously develop armed forces such as militia, armed work teams behind enemy lines, and guerrillas.

The entire Datong Military Sub-district’s militia, armed work teams, and guerrillas together have more than 20,000 people.

The weapons they used were all obtained by the independent regiment from the headquarters, which were all obsolete weapons replaced by previous troops.

The guns and mortars that were able to be retained were all in good condition.

It may not be a big deal for the current regular main force.

But for the militia, armed work teams and guerrillas, it is already very good to have these equipments.

This is what Li Yunlong did according to Li Jingrong's previous suggestion.

For the independent regiment, the current main force is completely sufficient.
