A Journey Through the Worlds of Film and Television

During the entire war of resistance, the Chinese army generally lacked heavy weapons, especially artillery. In the early days, the government tried its best to produce it itself or import artillery from outside. But foreign artillery is expensive, and the government does not have so much money to buy artillery. Especially after the outbreak of the war of resistance, China's transportation routes to the outside world were blocked, making it even more difficult to buy artillery from the outside world. Moreover, at this time, China's industrial level was extremely low, and even the alloy steel needed to produce artillery had to be purchased from the outside world. In the end, the government had to do everything possible to pull out the German Krupp 75mm mountain cannon imitated by Yuan Shikai's Beiyang Army in the late Qing Dynasty, and bought drawings from Germany for production, which resulted in the Huke 75mm mountain cannon.

Although this mountain cannon was decades behind other artillery of the same era and could be called the poorest of the 75mm cannons, it was also a rare heavy firepower for the Chinese army at that time.

In the first two years, during the most difficult period of the War of Resistance Against Japan, an infantry division of the National Army was usually equipped with only some light and heavy mortars, and no mountain cannons or howitzers. An infantry army with three infantry divisions under its jurisdiction usually had only one artillery battalion, equipped with only 12 75mm mountain cannons.

Although the war situation has improved slightly in the past two years due to the support of the Burma Road, the Burma Road has been cut off again and the Hump Route has not yet been opened, and China is still in an extremely difficult period.

In this case, these four mountain cannons can be said to be quite rare.

Moreover, each of these four mountain guns is equipped with three bases of ammunition, 120 rounds per base, which adds up to 1440 rounds of shells.

Of course, with the firing rate of 10 rounds per minute for the 75 mountain gun, these ammunition are enough for more than half an hour.

In comparison, Chu Yunfei's 358th Regiment in the Sword of Light is really the ace of the Jinsui Army. Others have only one artillery battalion in one army, while Chu Yunfei has one artillery battalion in one regiment, with 12 75 mountain guns.

However, the Jinsui Army has its own arsenal and can make mountain guns by itself, which is incomparable.

The reason why the above can send four mountain guns at once is not only because of Lu Cheng's reputation, but also because of the importance of the Nujiang defense line.

After seeing the mountain artillery, the new Krupp did not hesitate at all and rushed forward immediately: "Captain, can you let me fire the artillery?"

"Of course, but not now."

Originally, Lu Cheng was planning to find a time to get the two British 3.7-inch howitzers to the regiment as the main weapons of the artillery company. Now with these four 75 mountain artillery, he can continue to keep the two howitzers as sniper weapons.

After receiving the artillery and shells, there were also two jeeps and three trucks sent from above, which were also equipment for Lu Cheng.

So, Kang Huojian, the former deputy platoon leader of the 17th Reorganization Division Transport Battalion, became the second lieutenant platoon leader of the transport platoon under Lu Cheng, responsible for transporting various materials and supplies from the military headquarters.

Yu Xiaoqing's regiment had been withdrawn, leaving many empty barracks, warehouses, training grounds, and a regiment headquarters, all of which belonged to Lu Cheng.

Lu Cheng did not leave the four mountain artillery by the river, but pulled them back to the warehouse first.

The river bank is too close to the Nantianmen on the opposite side, and within the range of the Japanese artillery fire, the choice of this artillery position must be cautious.

Just after receiving the four mountain artillery, two female communicators from the Military Control Commission rushed to Zenda and came to Lu Cheng's regiment headquarters to report.

Lu Cheng had long thought that the Military Control Commission would send agents to him, but he didn't expect that they would be two young and beautiful female agents.

In fact, not long ago, when Dai Li received the order from the principal and carefully studied the detailed information about Lu Cheng, he finally sent two young and beautiful female agents to Lu Cheng.

According to the information, Lu Cheng is only 23 years old this year, when young people are full of blood and vigor, and he is young and handsome. He fell in love with a little girl as soon as he arrived in Zenda. After that, he went to Myanmar and hooked up with a British foreign girl, who was the daughter of a senior official of the British Treasury and a noble child.

Through this information, Dai Li concluded that Lu Cheng had a very obvious shortcoming, lust.

As the head of the secret service, Dai Li likes people with obvious shortcomings the most, and it is easy to find a breakthrough.

Moreover, judging from the confrontation between Lu Cheng and Yu Xiaoqing, Lu Cheng should be a rather unruly person who does not like to be constrained. If some male agents are rashly sent out, it is likely to cause the other party's disgust.

, which is not conducive to the development of work.

Therefore, Dai Li specially selected two young and beautiful female agents, one of whom was an outstanding student who had just graduated from the special training department, and the other was a female agent with certain experience.

"Commander Lu, the communication soldier Tan Wanying reports to you."

"Communication soldier Luo Yifei reports to you."

Lu Cheng nodded: "Okay, no need to be polite. I really need communication talents like you here to facilitate communication with superiors. It's just that there are only male soldiers in this camp, and it's not convenient for you to live here. Let me ask someone to find a place for you to live in Zenda, and you can settle down first. As for work, don't worry, I'm busy these two days, you can get familiar with the environment first."

"Yes, sir, we will follow your arrangements."

In his previous life, Lu Cheng had also seen many images of female agents of the Military Control Commission in some film and television dramas, but whether they were true and reliable was unknown.

Although it was just their first meeting, through observation, it can be judged that these two female agents have undergone professional combat training and shooting training. Both hands have traces of long-term use of pistols, and their postures are more agile than ordinary women.

Of course, Lu Cheng also knows the main purpose of these two female agents around him. In addition to communication, the most important thing is to monitor him and ensure his loyalty.

Lu Cheng is not unfamiliar with these. In the Ming Dynasty, Jinyiwei also did this job.

At this time, Lu Cheng's experience and past are very clean, and there is nothing worth noting, so he is not afraid of what these two female agents will check.

After Lu Cheng left, the younger female agent leaned close to the ear of another female agent and whispered: "Sister Fei, this Regiment Commander Lu is really handsome and pleasing to the eye. I heard that he has a beautiful British girlfriend and a young wife in Zenda, but I don't know what she looks like."

"Tan Wanying, watch your words. We are in the military camp now, so we must be cautious at all times. Don't forget the main purpose of our visit."

"Yes, I know."

On the other side, Lu Cheng just walked out of the regiment headquarters when he saw a jeep coming from a distance and soon stopped at the entrance of the regiment headquarters.

Then, a major officer jumped out of the car: "Excuse me, is this the camp of Regiment Commander Lu of the 118th Regiment? Here are three letters from Regiment Commander Lu and some supplies. Please check them."

Lu Cheng walked over directly: "I am Lu Cheng."

The major officer immediately saluted, and then respectfully handed the three English letters to Lu Cheng.

Lu Cheng checked and found that the three envelopes were intact and had no signs of being opened.

These three letters were sent by plane from India, from Catherine, Colonel William, and two American pilots, Mike and Price.

Along with these three letters, there were also some medicines and some guns and ammunition.

The two American pilots sent two Thompson submachine guns and two thousand rounds of bullets.

Catherine sent ten Garand M1 semi-automatic rifles, six Springfield sniper rifles, two Colt M1911 pistols, six military telescopes, compasses, several Swiss watches, and a batch of precious medicines, all of which were good things.

Colonel William was also not vague, and sent three Lee Enfield sniper rifles, two Browning high-powered pistols, and sufficient bullets.

Although the two pilots sent less things, they were just pilots after all, and they were not too rich. What's more, the price of this Thompson submachine gun is not cheap.
