Chapter 137: Sending Wealth – Jiang the Great Benefactor

At the same time, outside Myitkyina city.

Jiang Anguo is a man of action; since everything that needed arranging has been arranged, he will not waste time here.

The rain in the sky had just eased, creating a brief window of clearing. Jiang Anguo immediately ordered Song Yunfei's side to dispatch a seaplane.

"I'll return to Lashu first," Jiang Anguo told Hu Dali.

The fighting here at Myitkyina can be left to Hu Dali; as for the Seventh and Ninth Companies, if the situation turns unfavorable they can be pulled back. This Japanese force won't stir up much trouble.

Lashu is Jiang Anguo's main base, and he has already completed the mission of rescuing the Expeditionary Force's main body.

"Yes, Commander. I'll take it from here," Hu Dali stood at attention.

He seized this fortunate gap granted by the heavens; otherwise another downpour would have grounded the aircraft.

Jiang Anguo is from the South, and at this moment he especially detests rain.

It starts and stops in an instant, faster than a child's sudden mood swing!

The aviation squadron, led by Captain Song Yunfei at Lashu Airport, also seized the few dozen minutes while the rain was easing, and immediately ordered fighters and bombers to take off. The newly launched "War Eagles" formed up over Lashu, surged toward the southern skies to hunt the withdrawing Japanese forces and to strike the 56th Division.

Jiang Anguo boarded the seaplane; the Irrawaddy River is wide enough for a seaplane to land, its surface spanning seven to eight hundred meters.

Jiang Anguo's guard company rode a transport vehicle back along the bumpy road.

He didn't want to take another transport vehicle—it's too exhausting—so he opted to fly back to Lashu.

As for the remaining tank units, Jiang Anguo ordered them to stay in Myitkyina to assist Hu Dali in maintaining order.

The T-34 tanks left in Bamo and Myitkyina, he intends to give all of them to the Expeditionary Force.

Jiang Anguo himself, of course, won't drive a tank from Myitkyina to Bamo and then back to Lashu—it's too cumbersome and slow. Moreover, the over‑three‑hundred‑kilometer mountain road could crush any tank in the world.

He knows tanks are effective not in this soggy rainforest but on open plains. Northern Myanmar is all mountainous terrain, unsuitable for large‑scale tank operations.

In the mud, a careless move could trap a steel beast weighing dozens of tons, rendering it immobile—a living target.

Before departing, Jiang Anguo did something that surprised everyone.

He specifically organized a transport team that not only delivered supplies to receive the Fifth Army's wounded but also sent urgently needed medical supplies and food to the beleaguered allies.

Is Jiang Anguo a good person?

Of course!

Is he really that good?

That remains unknown!

"Old Hu, coordinate these supplies and be sure they reach Commander Du," Jiang Anguo instructed.

"Understood."

Hu Dali is in charge of holding Myitkyina, not only maintaining city order but also coordinating supplies with the Fifth Army. Jiang Anguo left a large stockpile in Myitkyina with a clear purpose: to help the Fifth Army regain combat strength.

Retreating to the interior is certainly impossible; the Expeditionary Force will still need to wage a protracted war against the Japanese in Myanmar, and Myitkyina will be the future supply hub.

Blocking the enemy abroad is far better than fighting inside Yunnan!

Of course, Jiang Anguo's generosity has its reasons.

Capturing Myitkyina this time earned him system rewards so generous they made him laugh in his sleep. The rewards were not only massive in quantity but also aggressive: 50 T-34 tanks, 100 transport vehicles, 20 BF-109 fighters, 20 Stuka bombers, 10 105mm howitzers, 30 94-type mountain guns. Most astonishingly, the system also granted ammunition and fuel for each weapon in ten‑unit batches.

As for the German bombers and fighters, besides short range, they're sufficient.

The key is for the Little Devil; it's an absolute surprise for them.

The surprise wasn't enough, so Jiang Anguo also deployed some Zero fighters; that would likely cleanse the Little Devil's main base.

Besides the gear, there was one "miraculous item" Jiang Anguo cared about most:

【Production line: 300,000 rounds of Japanese ammunition per day, requiring 100 workers.】

Jiang Anguo stared at the system description, puzzled, "System, can this single production line directly manufacture ammunition? No need for supporting factories or machine tools?"

"Yes, Host. This production line is an independent spatial module; connect to power and it operates. Raw materials can be obtained via system exchange or physical input conversion," the system replied in a cold, mechanical voice.

Heavens, this is practically alien technology! Manufacturing ammunition domestically requires an entire massive industrial chain—steelmaking, stamping, primers, propellants… each step a nightmare.

If this line produces 100 rounds per person, thirty thousand rounds a day can equip 3,000 soldiers—a full regiment, even enough for half a division's ammunition.

For the ammunition‑starved Huaxia Battlefield, it's a literal lifeline.

However, this production line can't be placed in Myitkyina; it's a frontline that could change hands at any moment. He hasn't decided where exactly, but since system items can be stored internally, he needn't worry about supply safety.

"Perhaps, once the situation stabilizes, it could be placed domestically. But now…" Jiang Anguo mused, "I'll continue fighting in Myanmar. Lashu might be better—it's relatively safe and a transport hub."

Before departing, Jiang Anguo waved his hand and handed all thirty 94-type mountain guns to Hu Dali, along with the unit's 80mm mortars.

They'll be given to Commander Du's Fifth Army later.

As for ammunition, Jiang Anguo kept little—only 100 shells per gun; if you need more, you can come back to Jiang Anguo later.

Jiang Anguo will definitely eat people alive.

Other heavy weapons, like the 105mm howitzers, he decided not to send yet. Though the Expeditionary Force has such guns, ammunition supply is a major issue.

It's not just ammunition; transport is also a concern. The 105mm howitzers are best towed by a tractor.

So he'll keep them for his own use for now.

Conversely, the Little Devil's artillery is more suitable for Huaxia's army.

As for small‑arms ammunition and food, Jiang Anguo left piles of supplies as if they were free.

Jiang Anguo can't even imagine the scene when the Fifth Army retreats to Myitkyina and sees so much material before them.

"With these, Commander Du should be able to catch his breath," Jiang Anguo said, smiling as he watched Myitkyina recede beneath the aircraft's wing.

Everything sent out must be repaid!

The plane roared as it surged into the clouds.
