My Head of the Huaxia Expeditionary Force

Chapter 181 Material Aid
"Sorry, I apologize for my behavior just now. Please calm down, I am not your enemy, our enemy is on the west bank of the Nu River."

Smith, who had just been scolded, was still subdued, but this guy is flexible.

After all, he was the one who swears first, and if he really angered the other party, he would cooperate later. He didn't want to stay in this sweltering place any longer.

The Sichuan Army is at least more worthy of investment than the Yu Division, and as the commander said, the strength of this army should not be underestimated.

These foreigners are cheap, like Yu Xiaoqing, the more you kneel and lick him, the more arrogant he will be. If you slap him in front of everyone, he will start to respect you instead.

The law of the jungle is an international practice.The gringos have always been straightforward. They worship the strong more, and the stronger they are, the more confidence they have. Otherwise, they will only be restrained by others and unable to turn over.

"I accept your apology, but please recognize the status quo. I can accept equal cooperation, but I cannot tolerate other people's unreasonable and arrogant!" Liao Mingyu replied with his head held high.

Smith nodded, began to straighten his posture and said cautiously: "Then can we continue to discuss?"

Liao Mingyu shrugged noncommittally, motioning for him to continue.

"We can provide assistance with weapons and ammunition. I hope you can solve the problem as soon as possible in the next military operation to counterattack the West Bank. Of course, you can ask me if you have any questions or requests." Smith changed his arrogance just now and spoke more cautiously .

The more indifferent Liao Mingyu's attitude was, the less he dared to be unreasonable. In the final analysis, whether the counterattack against Nantianmen can be successful or not depends on them.

Liao Mingyu expressed that he was very satisfied with such an attitude. Wouldn't it be less scolding if he said this earlier?What a brain wreck.

"In terms of materials, our Sichuan Army Corps is close to saturation, but we still need a lot of ammunition and reserve weapons. Especially ammunition, 10 rounds of ammunition per week is no problem, right?"

"This..." Smith felt a surge of pressure, this commander is really difficult to deal with.

Without waiting for him to speak, Liao Mingyu continued: "U.S. weapons don't have many requirements, you can provide the amount of 2000 people first. But I need a lot of 7.62 caliber bullets, at least 10 rounds a week. There are also 60mm and 81mm Mortar shells, these should not be a problem for you, right?"

Not much to ask for?You must know that Master Yu has not even armed a regiment, and this has made Yu Xiaoqing happy for several days.

Yu Xiaoqing and the others looked at Liao Mingyu like a fool, how could the Yankee agree to such a request.

"I can accept these, but I want to know your offensive plan. After all, our goal is the same. We both want to capture Nantianmen and open the Yunnan-Burma Highway as soon as possible."

Unexpectedly, Smith just hesitated and generously agreed. This unexpected result made Tang Ji and others feel as uncomfortable as eating flies.

"I will discuss the specific attack plan with you before launching the operation, but it is not now." Liao Mingyu said expressionlessly with his hands behind his back:

"As a middle-level officer of the US military, you should know what military secrecy is, right? All I can tell you is that the time for a counterattack is coming soon."

Smith thought about it for the same reason, so he nodded helplessly.

"Colonel Smith, you... how can you, our Master Yu also needs these supplies." Yu Xiaoqing was anxious, and hurriedly pulled the translator and said.

"We will discuss your matters later, don't be too greedy, I have already given a batch of supplies."

Smith replied coldly that he had a completely different attitude towards Yu Xiaoqing. This obvious discrimination made many officers of the Yu division very angry, but there was nothing they could do about him.

Yu Xiaoqing wanted to say more, but Tang Ji grabbed his arm.

"Forget it, Xiaoqing, I don't have a chance today, don't hit the muzzle again, let's discuss with him in the future." Tang Ji said in a low voice, he figured it out, this Smith is a realist, speak good It's useless, everything depends on strength.

"By the way, your US military's 105 and 155 howitzers are very famous. Why do you have to have more than a dozen?" Liao Mingyu continued to speak loudly.

"Excuse me, Commander, all our supplies are transported by air through the hump line. Small-caliber mortars can provide them, but there is really no way for heavy artillery."

Speaking of which, Smith asked an accompanying officer to hand over a document: "Probably all the materials we can provide are on it. Only when the Burma Road can be opened will more materials be delivered."

"What about fighter jets, how many should be arranged as air support?" Liao Mingyu asked while flipping through the pages.

"This... air support has to be reported to the Flying Tigers. I don't have direct authority here." Smith touched his nose and said awkwardly. This commander is too difficult.

"There is no artillery, and there is no air support, so let's talk about cooperation!" After speaking, Liao Mingyu threw the documents on the table with an unhappy expression on his face.

"Hehe, I can give you the greatest assistance in individual weapons, as long as you can counterattack the West Bank as soon as possible." Smith flattered with a dry smile.

The three sentences are inseparable from the counterattack, and it can be seen that he cares more about this issue than the Huaxia military officers sitting here.

"Forget it, you don't have the heavy firepower I have, so give me some 155-caliber grenades."

"Do you have the M114 howitzer?" Smith was shocked. The U.S. military has just started to install this howitzer this year.

"Don't worry about those, just arrange the shells in place."

"But this shell is not in our logistics list, and we have to re-plan it." Smith said he was very embarrassed.

"Then you can figure it out for yourself. The more supplies you have, the greater your chances of counterattacking. I don't think you want to stay in this place and accompany us to face Little Japan."

Liao Mingyu seemed to have caught his tail, and threatened him sideways.

"Your Excellency Commander, let's discuss it again."

This scene is really funny, just like a local tyrant begging the other party to accept his donation, but the recipient who was originally given alms is actually picking and choosing him like a creditor.

Time passed quickly, and after more than half a day of negotiation, Smith agreed to provide 1200 Garand rifles, 300 Thomson submachine guns, 200 M1 carbines, and 50 rounds of various ammunition.But the bullets have to be delivered in batches, with a maximum supply of 10 rounds per week.

Smith also promised to increase the supply of ammunition in the later stage. After all, the Sichuan Army is not guns but ammunition.

In terms of light weapons, there are 60 mortars and 81 mortars and corresponding shells. These are all things that the Sichuan Army needs. Although there are not many, they are better than nothing.

But there were no 155-caliber shells. The old white man bit him to death and did not let go. He kept emphasizing that only by opening the Burma Road could he get more supplies.

There is no need for machine guns and the like, they already have their own support firepower system, and too many messy arrangements will affect the logistics.

With systematic support, Liao Mingyu didn't care much about those second-hand weapons. Apart from the ammunition, what he cared most about was the flamethrower, which was the Japanese fortress and the real nemesis.

It's a pity that Smith didn't have too many sets, only four or five sets, all of which had been given to Yu Xiaoqing and other troops, and we had to wait for the supplies to arrive later.

When everything was over, it was almost evening, except for Yu Xiaoqing and others who had been dark-faced, Smith and Liao Mingyu were quite satisfied.

It's like a big bet. Smith has no choice but to regret it. He can only see whether the next actions of the Sichuan Army are worthy of his investment.

Liao Mingyu promised to arrange combat operations as soon as possible. The situation on the West Bank is becoming increasingly severe. The people are suffering from little Japan. The situation has reached the point of no delay. Even from a personal point of view, he cannot remain indifferent.

Now that everything is ready, the only thing we owe is Dongfeng, and everything will come to fruition when Long Wenwen comes back.
