Reserve, of course, is needed.

No matter how his heart is surging, Pu Su has been silent on the surface.

After returning to China, he realized how difficult life was in the base area.

While in Moscow, there was never a shortage of rations and supplies. He didn't realize that the soldiers and civilians in the base area had been thrifty all along, gritting his teeth and providing them with the best conditions.

When they were training there, they fired a variety of weapons every day, casually consuming hundreds of rounds of ammunition, not including the explosives used for blasting.

When he returned home, he learned that sometimes, even if they participated in battle, many fighters could only be allocated three bullets.

"Alyosha, I'm afraid that the equipment here will not be used by the old man, and if they don't patrol the house, the armored vehicles will not be able to take you."

As he spoke, Pu Su picked up an MP34 submachine gun and checked the safety before firing it empty-chambered, and the firing pin made a continuous soft sound.

"Armored vehicles? You'll see it later. ”

Alyosha shrugged his shoulders and said indifferently.

"Uh......"

At this time, Pu Su finally couldn't calm down, he looked at Lao Ren on the side.

Since entering the basement, Lao Ren has been very impatient, and he wishes to go up early.

In Pu Su's eyes, weapons and ammunition that are more precious than Jinshan Yinshan do not know how much more precious they are, but they do not arouse his interest in the slightest. At this time, when he saw Pu Su's eyes, he just nodded lazily.

Even if I saw the mortar Pusu before, I could still hold it.

After all, this is Shanghai or the French Concession, full of merchants from all walks of life. What's the point of having a few black market arms dealers? Otherwise, where did everyone get so many brands of weapons on the market?

But armored vehicles are completely different.

This kind of absolute mass killing weapon is not something that ordinary arms dealers can get their hands on.

Deals involving armored vehicles are no longer simply a paper underground arms contract, which can be solved by paying money with one hand and delivering goods with the other.

Even if it's not a standard tank. As long as it is an armored vehicle, even if it is lightly armored, ordinary firepower cannot break through the defense at all.

With the exception of well-equipped formed regular armed forces, local armed forces in general rarely have anti-armor weapons.

When he was studying in the Soviet Union, Pu Su only came into contact with the Soviet-made PTRD-41 single-shot bolt-action anti-tank rifle. This firearm has a simple structure, and its power is indeed very rough, firing 14.5*114mm rounds.

After firing, the warhead can penetrate 32 mm of tank armor at a distance of 500 meters and an angle of incidence of 90 degrees, and it is even easier to penetrate 40 mm thick armor within 100 meters, and the after-effect is sufficient.

It's just that not much of this equipment was produced before he left the Soviet Union, only a small amount of equipment, not to mention the appearance in Shanghai.

There is also a German-made PzB38 anti-tank rifle with average penetration.

Pu Su test-fired this anti-tank rifle. It can barely shoot through 30mm armor at a distance of 100 meters, and through 200mm armor at a distance of 200 meters. But the warhead is too small, and there are not many tricks in it.

The charge is so large, and the effect after penetration is also very average.

In the absence of checks and balances, armored vehicles with mobility and steel plate protection are naturally invincible. In particular, the siege of cities and villages is completely helpless with ordinary light weapons.

That's why any country with the capacity to produce must have strict controls on where it goes.

Pu Su is only now beginning to understand how great Gu Ji, a senior, is.

Alyosha covered the tarpaulin from the mortar and took Pu Su and Lao Ren out of the basement. After going up, he put on a coat and got into the car with Pu Su and the others.

When they opened the gate, two sedans that had been waiting at the door led the way, one leading the way, and the other followed behind the hall, guarding them in the middle.

The car leading the way drove all the way to the southeast, and began to slow down when it was about to reach a factory area where the three realms combined.

At this time, if you look to the north, you can see the concession line on both sides. There is an iron gate at the intersection, where they stand on the patrol of Annam, and on the opposite side of the public concession is the Indian red-headed Ah San guard.

Lao Ren turned a blind eye to this scene, after all, he was used to living here. But Pu Su really didn't feel good when he saw it, and he felt ironic under the indescribable humiliation.

In fact, the safest places in Shanghai are these two concessions.

This is also the origin of the island.

Shanghai in 1940, except for two concessions, was surrounded by occupied areas occupied by the Japanese army. Only the French Concession and the Public Concession did not openly enter the Japanese army because of fear.

The two contiguous concessions are like an isolated island in the sea, hence the name "island".

This is Lujiabang, which is at the junction of the French Concession and the Chinese Territory. Zhaojiabang in the west flows eastwards through the Dapu Bridge, bends north and then flows eastward.

Due to this unique location environment, Pu Su saw many high-nosed and green-eyed foreigners here, as well as white-faced people and poor people in old Shanghai.

Due to the advantages of water and land routes. There are a number of small factories built in the area of Lujiabang, and a large number of ordinary people gather to live here. Most of them are poor people living in difficulty.

The car stopped in front of an abandoned factory building, and immediately a Chinese came out from the side. It's just that he didn't come up to ask or open the door, but only looked at the vehicle in front of him and was very vigilant.

It wasn't until Lao Ren pressed the horn twice, stretched out his little short arm and waved it a few times, that the man grinned when he saw him, stretched out his hand and slapped twice on the iron door.

Then the iron door opened from the inside, and three cars drove in.

After entering the warehouse, Lao Ren stopped the car while scolding, saying that he was the last thing he wanted to come here, and the leather shoes he had just wiped would be gone. And according to the rules, except for Gu Ji and Lao Ren, even Alyosha will not be easily released when he comes here.

"Mr. Pu, you will come here more in the future."

Lao Ren smiled a little narrowly. It seems like a chore here.

On the way out of the mansion, Lao Ren said that the place he is going to now is a workshop.

When Pu Su heard the workshop, he knew that it should be a small arsenal built by them. It's just that the warehouse in front of me has nothing but a piece of charcoal slag, and steel wire coils that seem to be unintentionally stacked but actually play a role in blocking impact.

The people of all three cars got down. In addition to Alyosha, several strong men in the other two cars only relied on the three cars as cover, and they all stood still and did not move, so they should have stayed here to be on guard.

Lao Ren walked in front with his trouser legs, tiptoe up to pick up the cleanest place possible. Alyosha should have been numb to his appearance, and followed behind with a look of unwillingness and necessity.

It was only when he walked to the wall that Lao Ren felt an electric button from the edge and pressed it. Pu Su saw it in his eyes and remembered the frequency: three short and one long, and then three long and one short.

Then a "buzzing" sound was heard, and the wall in front of him slowly rose from the ground. The wall turned out to be a lift door.

This mechanism is exactly the same as the passage in his Shikumen courtyard. It's just that one is sideways and the other is lifting, which should be designed by the same person.

Without waiting for the wall to rise to stop completely, Lao Ren, who had the advantage of being short, took the lead in bending down and getting in. Pusu and Alyosha could only wait for a while to continue to rise before stooping down to the other end.
