Chapter 642: Lao Cui and Xiao Liu's shock
"Creaky, creaky--" As the door of Warehouse No. 10 was pushed open, the goods in the warehouse appeared before our eyes.
The wooden boxes were stacked more than three meters high. Lao Cui, who had been to the guerrilla base before, knew from the labels on the boxes that they contained either guns or ammunition.
There are so many wooden boxes piled up like a mountain. How many weapons and ammunitions are there?
Lao Cui and the intelligence officer he brought with him, who followed Zhang Yunhe into the warehouse, were deeply shocked by the scene before them.
As they went deeper into the warehouse, they not only saw piles of wooden boxes of cargo, but also light machine guns and heavy machine guns placed on the ground. They were all new, and each machine gun was painted with shiny anti-rust oil.
After passing the firearms area, the two saw a number of artillery pieces. The first ones were mortars of several calibers, at least more than two hundred in total.
There were also artillery pieces, with mountain cannons and field cannons neatly arranged. They also saw an extended super cannon with a muzzle thicker than the mouth of a bowl of sea water. The ferocious muzzle made people terrified.
After seeing the artillery, one steel behemoth after another appeared before them.
"This... is this an iron turtle? It's bigger than the Japanese's iron turtle, and the barrel is thicker!" The intelligence officer who came with Lao Cui was shocked when he saw these tanks. He seemed to be possessed and walked step by step towards the nearest tank.
"Xiao Liu, what are you doing? Stop, don't walk around!" Lao Cui noticed that something was wrong with the young man and immediately stopped him.
The young man was shocked all over, and when he came to his senses, cold sweat broke out on his forehead. He quickly stopped, turned around and walked quickly back to Lao Cui.
After walking a dozen more steps, Zhang Yunhe brought Lao Cui and the other man to a pile of goods covered with canvas.
He lifted the canvas, revealing a long row of radio equipment spread out on the ground, but these instruments were still packed in cardboard boxes.
"These are samples of various types of radios. There is one of each type. If you want to see them, I can open the packaging box and try them out with power. If they can be powered on, it means there is no problem!" said Zhang Yunhe.
Old Cui's heart was still pounding. He glanced at the row of boxes on the ground and nodded, "Okay, I'll trouble you, Mr. Cao. Let's find a few to power on and try it out!"
Zhang Yunhe didn't waste any time. He took out a bunch of keys and opened the outer packaging of a radio. After unpacking, he took out the white foam board for shockproofing, then took out the radio and placed it on a table next to him. He plugged the radio into the wall socket to turn on the power.
After turning on the power switch of the radio, the indicator lights on the radio light up one after another. Then connect the transmitting device to the radio instrument and press it several times in succession. The radio will make a ticking sound.
"Look, it's powered on and working fine!" Zhang Yunhe turned to Lao Cui and the others and said, "It's best to just plug it in and see if it turns on. If it does, then there's no problem. It's best not to try to send radio waves right now!"
"Once the concession authorities or the Japanese's anti-radio equipment detect the presence of an unfamiliar radio station, they will immediately become alert and investigate. Generally, commercial radio stations need to be reported before use. If you use them without reporting, you will be arrested as a spy!"
Lao Cui also knew that radios shouldn't be used carelessly. He nodded and said, "Okay, then we won't send any radio waves. Let's just power on these samples and see!"
There were more than a dozen samples in total, and Zhang Yunhe powered on and checked them one by one, and basically there were no problems.
After checking everything and putting it back together, Zhang Yunhe asked, "How's it going, Lao Cui? Do you have any concerns or questions about this transaction? If so, raise them now and I'll address them as well!"
Lao Cui shook his head and said, "No, when and where do you want to trade?"
Zhang Yunhe said, "The location is still here. You guys can decide the time. However, I won't stay in the concession forever. If you want to trade, you'd better hurry up, because the New Year is coming soon and there will be a lot of things to do!"
Lao Cui thought for a moment and said, "How about 10 o'clock tonight?"
Zhang Yunhe agreed, "Okay, then at 10 o'clock tonight, I'll have someone leave the goods you need at the warehouse entrance. We'll then exchange the money and receive the goods! Since you've already agreed on the shipping with Mr. Zhang, I think you should ship the goods first and then let Mr. Zhang handle the transportation for you!"
Hearing this, Old Cui said with some embarrassment, "At first, we thought it was Mr. Zhang who contacted us directly, but we didn't expect Mr. Zhang to introduce Mr. Cao to us. As a result, we don't know how to contact Mr. Zhang now. Mr. Cao, do you think you can contact Mr. Zhang?"
"So that's how it is. It's okay. Just leave me your contact information. I'll find Mr. Zhang and ask him to contact you!" said Zhang Yunhe.
Lao Cui asked, "Can you contact Mr. Zhang before 8 o'clock tonight?"
"It should work!"
"That's fine!" Lao Cui said, pulling out a pen and paper from his pocket. He quickly wrote down a phone number, handed it to Zhang Yunhe, and said, "Please tell Mr. Zhang this number, Mr. Cao, and ask him to call me at 8 o'clock tonight!"
Zhang Yunhe took the note, glanced at it, and put it in his pocket, saying, "Okay, I'll have him call you on time."
After the three people walked out of the warehouse, Zhang Yunhe locked the warehouse door and watched them leave.
Coming out of the dock warehouse area, the young man Xiao Liu couldn't help but say to Lao Cui, "Secretary Cui, there are so many weapons and ammunition in that warehouse, even cannons and iron clad turtles. I think the entire warehouse is more than enough to arm two divisions. This is the first time I've seen so many weapons and ammunition. It's really eye-opening!"
Lao Cui also sighed: "Yes, this is the first time in my life that I have seen so many weapons and ammunition. I have never seen weapons called tanks before. If that kind of thing does not run rampant on the battlefield, the defenders will probably have no way to deal with it!"
Xiao Liu nodded. "Of course not. You know I was a soldier in the Guo army before, and I fought against the Japanese on the battlefield. At that time, one of our regiments was guarding the left flank of Luodian. The Japanese attacked for days but couldn't take it down, and suffered heavy casualties. Later, they sent out the Iron Turtle, and the Japanese hid behind it and advanced towards our position. Our guns had no effect on the Iron Turtle, and in the end, we could only watch helplessly as the Japanese rushed into our trenches and broke through our defenses..."
"An entire regiment, with thousands of people, but less than one-tenth survived. It's so tragic." Xiao Liu said as tears flowed from his eyes unconsciously.
"If we equip our army with the weapons and ammunition from the warehouse, along with the tanks, we will be able to defeat the Japanese!"
