    "Open the box!" Xia Yang said to Hu San.

    After hearing this, Hu San picked up the crowbar, jumped on top of the wooden box with a few soldiers, and pried one of them open.

    After lifting the layer of straw covering the outside, seven or eight brand-new rifles appeared in front of them.

    These rifles have not been opened, and you can even see the gun oil on them.  Xia Yang took a look at the date of manufacture. It seemed that these rifles were transported from Europe not long ago.

    ?????????????????????In China, this classic rifle is officially produced for defense.

    ¡°However, due to manufacturing level issues, there is a certain gap between the power, reliability, and shooting accuracy of domestic intermediate rifles and the Mauser rifles originating in Germany.

    "They are all good guns! Brigade." Hu San picked up a Mauser rifle and pulled the bolt.

    Xia Yang picked up a handful, checked them up and down, and found that they were all original and unused products.  Compared with the Mauser rifle he bought in the Huangsha Baizhan System, the quality is not inferior.

    "There are five hundred Mauser rifles in total! They are used to supplement your four brigades!" Bai Leli said next to him. "These rifles are also on several other vehicles. But in addition to these, there are also matching bullets."

    With that said, he led Xia Yang to the last truck, then patted the fence of the truck and said, "Brigadier Xia, guess what's inside?"

    Xia Yang smiled and said, "It can't be a mountain cannon, right?"

    Bai Leli smiled and shook his head: "It's not a mountain cannon, but it's almost the same."

    With that said, he asked his soldiers to lift off the tarpaulin of the last truck.

    Three brand-new Maxim heavy machine guns, seven Czech light machine guns, and four mortars appeared in front of Xia Yang.

    In addition to these, there is a row of stacked ammunition boxes on the head of the truck.  Those are matching machine gun bullets and mortar shells.

    Those four mortars were Type 31 60mm mortars used in domestic defense against Germany at that time.

    This mortar is easy to carry and is very suitable for supporting infantry operations.

    "These things are all treasures! To be honest, Brother Xia, your fourth brigade is not a direct force, but a local army. It should not get these equipment. So, you should understand what Commander-in-Chief Li means.  "With that said, Bai Leli patted Xia Yang's shoulder and showed an ambiguous smile.

    Bai Leli never strayed from Commander Li's words. Xia Yang naturally understood Bai Leli's meaning and also understood what Commander Li meant.

    But he never had any intention of taking sides or using it for anyone, but this didn't mean that Xia Yang didn't want these good equipment.

    His idea was rather rogue. Xia Yang planned to take all the equipment as ordered, but he did not clearly stand on the side and express his allegiance to whom.

    As for what Commander-in-Chief Li will use to win over him in the future, Xia Yang is really looking forward to it.  Wouldn't it be great if Xia Yang could be given another piece of territory by then?

    So Xia Yang said: "Thank you very much, Commander-in-Chief Li. Brother Bai, please send a message to Commander-in-Chief Li. This equipment is very good. I, Xia Yang, will definitely be loyal to the party and the country!"

    Bai Leli nodded and said, "Commander-in-Chief Li!"

    "I wish you could ride in front and behind the horse!" Xia Yang said in a low voice.

    Bai Leli smiled, then stretched out his hand, patted Xia Yang on the back and said, "Brother Xia, you are a smart man! Don't worry, with Commander Li as a big tree, no one will dare to touch you again!"

    Xia Yang smiled, but he was very disapproving in his heart.  I was thinking in my mind how I could rebel and surrender to the Communist Party and enter the embrace of communism.

    I wonder if Commander-in-Chief Li would be so angry that he would vomit blood if he knew these thoughts of Xia Yang.

    After receiving these equipment, plus a lot of equipment seized from the Japs, Xia Yang's fourth brigade already has more than a thousand redundant rifles and more than 20 machine guns of various types.

    Such equipment is enough for Xia Yang to arm another regiment.

    But now in order to ensure the combat effectiveness of the army, Xia Yang plans to put the newly recruited soldiers into the other three regiments.

    This brings the current strength of the First Regiment, Second Regiment, and Independent Regiment to about 1,000 men.

    The main forces in these three regiments are basically veterans who have experienced hundreds of battles.  They have very rich combat experience and can take good care of these in the next battle with the Japanese army.A new recruit who has just been training for a short time.

    After receiving the equipment, they distributed the guns to the recruits and allowed them to start real live-fire shooting exercises.

    Xia Yang¡¯s Fourth Regiment is rich and has enough bullets.  Naturally, it is not like other national army units. Many recruits have never really pulled the trigger before entering the battlefield.

    ¡°Many people were issued a few rounds of live ammunition only after they went to the battlefield and fired live ammunition for the first time.

    Xia Yang was also very surprised to see Bai Leli again.

    He naturally wanted to keep Bai Leli and have a good drink at the Fourth Brigade.

    ??It is said to be a drink, but in fact it is not wine, but water.

    Because Xia Yang had issued an order, alcohol was banned throughout the entire hotel.  During the war, alcohol and other items were absolutely contraband.

    So their banquet didn¡¯t actually include any alcohol.

    Bai Leli did not force it. He also knew that in this special period, war could happen at any time.  Although their military command bureau is not as good as the frontline combat troops, their tasks are equally arduous in terms of intelligence collection and other aspects.

    The last time I sat down with Bai Leli was more than half a year ago.

    "I didn't know that Brother Xia had come to the Fifth War Zone before, but I didn't know until I arrived at the Logistics Department that day and heard them saying that they wanted to transport equipment to you. So I specifically asked Commander-in-Chief Li for orders and took over the job.  Come down. In fact, the main purpose is to meet you, Brother Xia, and the brothers under you." Bai Leli said and drank a cup of tea.

    Although it was just a cup of tea, when it was in Bai Leli's hands, it felt as if he had drank wine.  After drinking it, I didn't forget to smack my lips, as if I was savoring the taste.

    Xia Yang said: "Brother Bai, it's not easy to be able to care about my brother! I'm away on an expedition, and there will be many things in the future. I might have to trouble you, Brother Bai!"

    Bai Leli said generously: "It's all easy to talk about! Brother Xia, don't worry! Your business is my Bai Leli's business."

    As they spoke, the two laughed loudly and clinked glasses in the air.

    He Changxing and the others watched the two of them drinking and drinking together, and asked Hu Sandao next to him: "Old Hu, when did the relationship between the two of them become so good?" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
