Chapter 137
The reason why Bai Lixiu reminded Song Shilun so solemnly was that the Ninth Corps suffered heavy losses because of the cold protection problem.

Bai Lixiu remembers the statistics of the Battle of Changjin Lake before the crossing. The Ninth Corps had 15 people, and more than 4000 people were injured due to the battle, while more than 5 people were frostbitten, and more than 7000 people died in battle. .

The total battle attrition reached more than 2000 people, more than one-third of the total number of the Ninth Corps.

Among the people who died in battle, because of blood loss and the drop in body temperature caused by blood loss, they were even more intolerant to freezing. If there was no fresh low temperature, I believe that the number of deaths would be reduced by more than half.

Therefore, cold protection is the top priority that the Ninth Corps needs to pay attention to.

Of course, in Bailixiu's view, the temperature is more than minus 30 degrees, and ordinary cotton-padded clothes and trousers are still not enough, especially the hands of the soldiers holding guns.

The bolt at minus 30 degrees is icy, icy cold.

It is very likely that the warm hands will be frozen together when they suddenly touch the cold bolt.

Therefore, gloves are also very important for soldiers entering the Korean battlefield.

But it is a pity that the logistics department of the Ninth Corps is not equipped with cotton gloves, even ordinary gloves.

Fortunately, there is still a market in the place where the Ninth Corps is assembled, but Bailixiu has no money on him now, and if he doesn't come here, he still has a lot of money, and that is Wu Wanli.

This guy brought all the allowances Wu Qianli gave his wife.

So Bailixiu came to Wu Wanli and whispered to Wu Wanli:
"Where's the money your mother gave you? Lend it to me first, and I'll pay you back when I pay the allowance!"

After all, even though Bailixiu is only in charge of interspersing seven companies, the position given to Bailixiu is the position of deputy lion chief. Therefore, no matter how you say it, its allowance is higher than that of Wu Qianli, the company commander. Two or three times!

Although Wu Wanli was puzzled by Bailixiu's request to borrow money, after all, Bailixiu did not lie to him, and now he has become the deputy lion chief, and is directly in charge of the special warfare transformation interspersed with the Seventh Company, so After hearing Bailixiu's request, Wu Wanli gave all the money in his pocket to Bailixiu without even thinking about it.

On the other hand, Wu Qianli saw that Bailixiu actually asked Wu Wanli to borrow money. Of course, he was not reluctant to part with the money. After all, Bailixiu's dignified deputy lion chief could rely on him for money. Wu Qianli was just curious!

So he asked Bailixiu curiously:

"Vice Lion, why are you borrowing money when you're about to go to war?"

Regarding Wu Qianli's question, Bai Lixiu didn't hide anything, because it was unnecessary, so she said directly:
"To build a special team, some special equipment, the logistics are not available, if it is reported, it will take too long for the logistics to purchase, after all, there is going to be a war, so I can only pay for it myself first! Don't worry, I will give you an allowance for the money It will be paid back!"

As soon as Wu Qianli heard what Bailixiu said, he hurriedly said:

"This is a matter of interspersed with the Seventh Company. How can you let the deputy lion pay for it alone!"

After Wu Qianli finished speaking, he turned his head and shouted to the people who interspersed with Qilian:
"Seventh company, whoever still has money, Baili Vice Lion wants to pay for us to buy special equipment!"

Sure enough, as soon as Wu Qianli said this, the soldiers of the Seventh Company immediately took out the money on their bodies and wanted to hand it to Bailixiu, and Bailixiu said quickly:
"Okay! Alright! What I want to buy is not something valuable, the money in Wu Qianli's hand is enough!"

Then at this moment the sound of assembly sounded, and Song Shilun, the commander of the Ninth Corps, was about to give a mobilization speech in front of the station.

But Bai Lixiu is in a hurry to buy things now, where is there time to listen to some mobilization speeches!

Therefore, he immediately grabbed Wu Qianli who was about to go and said:
"I won't go to the mobilization speech before the station. Wu Qianli, remember to ask the soldiers of the Seventh Company to go to the logistics office to change all the equipment in their hands after the speech is over. Remember, I want a hundred submachine guns. It’s best to be a Thomson with a drum, then twenty little devil’s grenade launchers, and finally six SG-43 heavy machine guns. Finally, all the remaining soldiers will give me high-precision rifles. Give me all the Rand Garands! As for the ammunition, I can take as much as I can."

After Bailixiu finished speaking, she turned around and left without waiting for Wu Qianli to say anything.

As for whether there are Thompson submachine guns, grenadiers and other guns, Bailixiu is not worried. After all, after the civil war, the weapons given to the bald head by the Americans were all seized, but the Americans provided assistance. There are not many Garand rifles in the entire civil war, and only [-] Garand rifles were aided.

After Bai Lixiu left the gathering place of the Ninth Corps, she came to the market and started looking for clothes shops and wine shops.

That's right, Bailixiu naturally planned to buy gloves and woolen scarves.

Don't underestimate this scarf, it can not only cover your neck to prevent the cold wind from pouring into your neck, but also protect your ears by the way.

We must know that the temperature in Chaoxian is more than minus 30 degrees, and with the cold wind, if there is no something to protect the ears, the cold wind blows gently, and the ears will freeze, or even freeze directly. .

With a woolen scarf, not only can you not wrap your neck around, but you can also protect your ears by the way, or you can directly wrap your entire head in a scarf and only expose a pair of eyes.

But what Bailixiu didn't expect was that the place where the Ninth Corps assembled was still south of the Yangtze River, so the weather here was not very cold, and the gloves and scarves that Bailixiu wanted were a bit hard to find.

But fortunately, Bailixiu ran several shops in a row before finally getting gloves and scarves for the team of more than 150 people in Qilian.

Next, Bai Lixiu also went to the wine shop to buy some empty glass bottles for wine.

That's right, Bailixiu naturally wants to use another purpose of his super precision. Bailixiu still intends to equip the soldiers who use rifles with a scope.

With Bailixiu's super proficient talent, the bottom of the wine bottle, plus some simple tools such as a whetstone for polishing, can easily polish out the unevenness.

Although the light transmission performance of glass for wine shops is not as good as professional optical glass, for Bailixiu, as long as it can be zoomed in, it can be seen clearly.There is no need to pursue a light transmittance of more than 90.00% like that of a professional scope, it doesn't make much sense.

Of course, apart from these, what Bailixiu wanted most was to provide bulletproof steel plates for the soldiers who were in charge of close combat with submachine guns.

Even Bailixiu doesn't require a thickness of three to four millimeters. Although such a steel plate can't resist Garland's full-power rifle bullets, it can be more than a mistake against M2 carbine bullets.

Because on the fresh battlefield, the M2 carbine with a large ammunition capacity and light weight is much more popular than the Garand rifle.
