Chapter 21
Warehouse in the rear.
Lu Zhixian and others stared blankly at the scene in front of them.
A mountain of supplies.
Stacked everywhere.
The warehouse was filled with all kinds of items, from weapons and equipment, daily necessities to boxes, barrels and cans.
The number was staggering.
The first thing we saw was a lot of heavy weapons, the first of which was two Type 92 infantry guns, followed by six Type 81 81mm mortars and more than a dozen light and heavy machine guns. There were a lot of grenade launchers placed next to them, in addition to a lot of ammunition, etc., and these equipment were all brand new and looked shiny.
"Oh my God!"
Everyone exclaimed in an instant.
Even Lu Zhixian, who was always calm, became short of breath at this time, muttering: "This, there are so many treasures!"
Yes.
The weapons and equipment in front of us are really amazing.
You know, almost everyone was saddened by the destruction of those artillery pieces, but who would have thought that they would find more heavy weapons when they turned around.
Two infantry guns.
Six mortars.
That's eight artillery pieces!
Not to mention the Shanxi Suiyuan Army, the Eighth Route Army and other troops, even if we take the Central Army as an example, this is definitely something that can only be equipped by regimental-level units!
"It's issued! It's really issued this time!"
Lei Zhan was also very excited, and said with ecstasy on his face: "Battalion Commander! With these equipment, we can more than equip an artillery company!"
"I'm afraid it's more than that!"
Lu Zhixian also nodded in surprise.
The Anti-Japanese War Battalion itself has thirteen artillery pieces, plus these eight, that's a total of twenty-one!
In fact, according to the number of artillery, it is definitely the establishment of an artillery battalion. It is just that most of them are light artillery, and the gunners and logistics required are relatively few, so a lot of establishment is freed up, and this is at least enough for half of the artillery battalion, and in terms of firepower, it is not much less than that of ordinary field artillery regiments!
"Battalion Commander!"
Wu Baili opened a box and shouted excitedly: "There are also a lot of artillery shells here, I'm afraid there are thousands of them."
"Good!"
Lu Zhixian couldn't help cheering when he heard this.
At present, the Anti-Japanese War Battalion does not have to worry about the supply of bullets, but the artillery shells are one less. If there is no timely replenishment, even if there is an artillery battalion, it is completely useless.
Of course, he soon discovered a problem and couldn't help wondering, "Oh, right! Since the Japanese have so many heavy weapons here, why didn't they put them into use before?"
"Battalion Commander!"
Lei Zhan smiled and said, "Just now, in order to prevent the enemy from escaping from the back, our special forces directly encircled them. We wanted to cut off their retreat, but we didn't expect to occupy the outer terrain of the warehouse directly, making it impossible for the Japanese to get close to this side. Moreover, when we were about to destroy the Japanese position, several Japanese wanted to blow up the warehouse. Fortunately, Wu Qianli was quick-witted, otherwise we might have been happy in vain!"
"Wu Qianli!"
"Here."
"You have made a great contribution this time! I will definitely reward you when I go back!"
"Thank you, Battalion Commander!"
Wu Qianli couldn't help but straighten his chest at this time, feeling a little embarrassed but excited.
Lu Zhixian said with admiration: "I really didn't let you down!"
"Captain!"
Suddenly, Wu Baili's voice came from a distance, and he shouted excitedly: "Here, there are medicines!"
Medicines? !
Everyone trembled violently.
Lu Zhixian didn't care about anything and rushed away immediately.
Huh!
In an instant.
Everyone came to the boxes, but everyone held their breath for a moment.
There were many boxes of medicine packaging in the boxes, and the familiar scene was seen from the cover of the box alone.
"Sulfa!"
Lei Zhan exclaimed in an instant, with a face full of ecstasy: "This, this is actually sulfa!"
"This is a life-saving medicine that is more expensive than gold!"
The monk Wei standing next to him was also full of disbelief.
Yes.
This is sulfa.
You have to know that antibiotics are not as popular as they were in later generations. Many soldiers are easily infected by bacteria after being injured, and there is no special means to deal with them. Therefore, the mortality rate of wounded soldiers on the battlefield is still very high. The sulfonamide in front of us is the original version of antibiotics, but the effect is not as obvious as penicillin in later generations, and there are certain side effects.
But even so, it is still a special medicine that can save lives in this era, and it is more precious than gold!
It is no exaggeration to say.
As long as there is sulfonamide, the mortality rate of wounded soldiers will drop by at least 90%!
Lu Zhixian was obviously also overwhelmed by the goods in front of him. He hesitated.He said, "Those equipments are important, but they are not as precious as these medicines!"
"Yes!"
The monk said excitedly, "I saw with my own eyes that the head of our regiment had a high fever after being injured, and he survived with a sulfamethoxazole!"
"Battalion commander!"
Lei Zhan glanced at the boxes and said excitedly, "There are ten boxes here!"
"This is really a fortune!"
Lu Zhixian was still sad about the soldiers' injuries before, but he didn't expect to get this medicine here.
Everyone at this time also seemed very excited.
Although they had already put their lives behind their heads when they participated in the war of resistance, who was willing to really die?
Now there is this medicine.
Then as long as they don't die on the spot, they may have a chance to survive!
"Huh——"
At this moment, a surprised voice suddenly came out.
Everyone looked over.
I saw that there were a lot of barrels and cans stacked next to the medicines. These dark green barrels and cans were about half a person's height, and there were many of them, as many as hundreds of barrels.
In fact.
In the entire warehouse, these barrels and cans were the most numerous.
"Gasoline!"
Lu Zhixian looked overjoyed.
Lei Zhan was also very surprised: "Oh my God! This is really gasoline. There is so much gasoline stored here!"
Everyone was surprised to hear this.
Gasoline.
This is definitely a strategic resource.
Although their value is much inferior to sulfa, they also have an unparalleled role.
Whether it is the Japanese tanks, chariots, various transport vehicles or tricycles, all of them need gasoline. Without this material, all equipment will have to be grounded.
However, the key point is that Japan is an island country with extremely poor resources, and the Japanese have not found any oil fields in the Central Plains, so almost all gasoline is imported from the United States. This is definitely a more precious strategic resource than all the previous weapons!
Nearly one hundred barrels!
What a large amount of gasoline!
Even Lu Zhixian, who saw this, was almost stunned there, with indescribable surprise and surprise in his eyes.
