Chapter 27: Reinforced Camp Equipment

The system's task, Jiang Anguo completed it in no time.

He added another 58 points; his total income today is 1,039 points, and he spent 5 points this morning. In fact, he has already spent all the food money he needed for today, and just now he spent another 80 points.

That means today's remaining income is 959 points; adding yesterday's 981 points, there are 1,940 points left.

Overall the change is not much; he just bought a lot of food.

Over four thousand jin of food cannot be finished in a day by these more than a thousand people; Jiang Anguo doesn't intend to let them eat too much. People can't be too full—once they're full they become lazy, and if they eat too much they can't move.

"System, where are the Reinforced Camp weapon supplies you promised me?" Jiang Anguo was already getting impatient.

He was especially excited; this is equipment for an entire camp, enough to arm these ragtag soldiers to the teeth.

"Congratulations, Host, on completing the Camp-level Task. Keep up the good work; the reward has been sent. Your next mission is to go to Myanmar; the reward is pending," the system announced.

Jiang Anguo noted the upcoming situation—what the next mission would be, and that it would be in Myanmar—making him a bit curious, but curiosity is useless for now.

He might as well first look at the weapons the system provided.

Good fellow, really a good fellow; Jiang Anguo's mouth is watering. If the soldiers weren't so far away, everyone would see the officer drooling.

A clueless expression on his face.

Anyone who sees these weapons would drool, as long as they're a normal person.

Moreover, Jiang Anguo has never seen so many lethal weapons; even though the rifles aren't fully automatic, they're still weapons!

A single bullet is enough to take a life,

Mauser K98k Rifle: 1,500 units; Mauser Sniper Rifle: 30; P38 Pistol: 150; MP40 Submachine Gun: 200; MG42 General Machine Gun: 200; Maxim Heavy Machine Gun: 20; 20mm Anti-Aircraft Gun: 3; 50mm Mortar: 18; 81mm Mortar: 16; PAK37 Anti-Tank Gun: 15; 75mm Keluobo Field Cannon: 10; 105mm Howitzer: 4; Type 3 Tank: 5; Transport Vehicle: 10; Three-wheeled Motorcycle: 10; Carriage: 180; Trailer: 90; Horse: 380; Bicycle: 60.

7.92mm Rifle Bullet: 300,000 rounds; 7.92mm Sniper Rifle Bullet: 6,000 rounds; Pistol Bullet: 15,000 rounds; General Machine Gun Bullet: 400,000 rounds; Heavy Machine Gun Bullet: 40,000 rounds; Anti-Aircraft Shell: 1,500 rounds; Hand Grenade (unspecified); Landmine: 2,000 units; 50mm Mortar Shell: 9,000 rounds; 81mm Mortar Shell: 8,000 rounds; 37mm Shell: 7,500 rounds; 75mm Shell: 5,000 rounds; 105mm Shell: 2,000 rounds.

Tank 50mm Shell: 2,500 rounds; Machine Gun Bullet: 60,000 rounds.

My god, Jiang Anguo couldn't help but be stunned; this is equipment for a camp—one could say it's enough for a regiment.

First, not to mention the MG42—Hitler's chainsaw—with its extreme range and high-velocity bullets, it's practically invincible.

Not to mention the many mortars and four howitzers; such equipment doesn't exist in domestic camp-level units, and even division-level units lack howitzers.

This firepower is definitely enough for Little Japan to drink a pot.

It's not just artillery—there are transport vehicles and tanks, and these are real tanks.

But the problem, after a morning tally, is that none of these people know how to drive a tank. Indeed, aside from the th Division, early National Army Elite Units, or the Northeast Army, only a few soldiers have ever handled a tank.

When Japanese tanks advance, there are no anti-tank weapons; they just tie explosives to people and send them to blow up.

If there were a few anti-tank guns, the Little Devil's thin steel tanks wouldn't be so reckless.

"Awesome," Jiang Anguo couldn't help but shout.

People in the distance looked at Jiang Anguo in bewilderment, but he paid them no mind.

These are his capital; Little Japan will have enough to drink a pot.

But soon Jiang Anguo calmed down; the front-line weapons are fine—just rifles, submachine guns, and machine guns. He can master them with a little practice.

However, the anti-aircraft guns, mortars, and tanks at the back can't be operated; only a few know mortars, and that's far insufficient.

"System, if I exchange points for soldiers, will those soldiers provide me with points?" Jiang Anguo suddenly thought of something.

The system replied, "They will."

"Then will Lei Ao and Li Qing also give points?" Jiang Anguo asked.

"They're already included in today's points," the system said.

Good. With 1,900 points, Jiang Anguo doesn't need that many points now, but he needs personnel: a Tank Soldier costs 20 points each, an Artilleryman costs 15 points each.

A tank requires five crew members, and the smallest artillery unit is three people. The 50mm mortar is easier—two people can handle it—but the field cannon and howitzer are not feasible. In the short term, training these ragtag troops is impossible; Jiang Anguo himself doesn't even know how to fire a cannon.

He hasn't even handled a gun, how could he know how to fire a cannon?

Now the only way is to have the system exchange soldiers.

Jiang Anguo nodded, "System, I still have 1,940 points; exchange them all for Basic Infantry."

All points spent, none left. In fact Jiang Anguo exploited a loophole: the soldiers exchanged via the system appear today and can immediately provide him points—194 points.

Thus, these soldiers have no expense issue today; if he were harsher, the 194 points could exchange for 19 soldiers.

"Alright, Host, a total of 194 Basic Infantry have been exchanged. They will be deployed three kilometers away and will report to you shortly," the system said.

All of Jiang Anguo's exchanges are Basic Infantry; what he needs now is a numerical advantage, while technical troops can be dealt with tomorrow.

Artillery is relatively easy, but Tank Soldiers are different; they not only need crew but also logistics and maintenance personnel. A five-man tank crew may require ten people; that's the minimum configuration. Basic combat needs at least twenty maintenance staff to keep the tanks operational.

Tanks definitely need Infantry-Tank Coordination; a tank should have at least two squads behind it, meaning a normal tank crew ranges from forty to fifty personnel.

Jiang Anguo doesn't expect these ragtag troops to achieve Infantry-Tank Coordination. Moreover, Tengchong is two hundred kilometers from Myitkyina, with hazardous roads; if he places a tank in Tengchong and drives it to Myitkyina, a breakdown would be a loss for Jiang Anguo, who lacks heavy equipment.

Therefore, for the tank units, he plans to wait until after entering Myanmar before exchanging; tanks are lethal weapons for breaking enemy lines.

A total of five tanks; losing any one is something Jiang Anguo does not want to see.
