After two rounds of shelling, Abdullah left in a hurry. He just said hello to Gao Yang and left after a few words.
After the shelling, leibrov naturally had to take the artillery back.
Back to the temporary camp, he took a sip of mutton soup. Gao Yang immediately put down his lunch box and sighed, "although it's good, it's not so good to drink all the time."
After putting down the mutton soup and sighing, Gao Yang picked up the lunch box. After eating the mutton soup and half a big cake, he sighed again: "but anyway, it's much better than eating compressed dry food every day."
Groliov smiled and said, "if only you knew."
Gao Yang put down his lunch box and spoon and said to leibrov, "if Abdullah gives you the command of husai's artillery, can you do it?"
Leibrov was very surprised and said, "all?"
Gao Yang nodded and said with a smile, "I can't say all. Abdullah said they had more than 200 cannons. It's just that husai's cannons armed in Sana'a have about 40 cannons, both large and small caliber. Can you command them?"
Leibrov said without hesitation: "I can't command. It's easy to command more than 40 artillery if I can be given enough quantity and sufficient level of artillery, but just give me artillery and husai's existing artillery. Forget it. I can't command."
After that, leibrov said reluctantly: "husai's armed artillery can only complete direct fire. More than 40 guns are at least one to strengthen the size of the artillery regiment. Without enough calculation soldiers, reconnaissance soldiers and communication soldiers, what is nothing? There is not enough artillery commander. I can't command it alone."
Gao Yang regretted: "forget it. Abdullah really wants to give all the artillery to our command. I didn't promise. I just said to think about it. I just want to hear your opinion. Of course, Abdullah just has an idea now. If he wants to give all the artillery to you now, I'll directly refuse."
Leibrov said with great interest: "Abdullah should realize that the cannon will have its due performance in the right hands, boss. Otherwise, you can tell him to change the cannon for us. Change some guns with larger caliber and higher precision. Now these four guns are too old."
Gao Yang smiled bitterly and said, "I've said it, but it's impossible, because which d30 is the best cannon armed by husai."
Leibrov said with regret: "that's OK. I'd better use these d30 first. It's not that it can't be used."
Gao Yang smiled again and said, "it doesn't matter. Hussein's armed forces can't provide it. Let's come by ourselves. I've bought six 2a65 guns, which should be delivered in about a month. Now it's troublesome to transport arms to Yemen. Too many eyes are staring here. Otherwise, it won't take so long."
Leibrov was surprised and said, "2a65? Six doors? Great!"
Gao Yang said with a smile, "it's still a new cannon."
Leibrov laughed and said, "that's better."
Gao Yang sighed and said, "in fact, I want to buy self-propelled guns. The development of towed guns is still a little slow. If there are self-propelled guns, it would be perfect. However, self-propelled guns are too expensive. Four guns cost at least $20 million, which is still a friendly price. But the consumption of shells is too large. It's meaningless to buy less. We can't afford to buy more, so we have to choose towed guns."
Leibrov said with great confidence: "it doesn't matter if we use towed guns, boss. Now I see. In Yemen, we won't meet opponents with towed guns. It's just six 152 mm cannons, but there are a few people now."
After that, leibrov smiled and said, "the people you find are all technical backbone. To expand the manpower, you only need to find a few filling hands. Boss, how do you find people? No one of these technical backbone is willing to let go."
Gao Yang said with a painful look on his face, "it's very expensive. I borrowed a lot of money that may not be returned to get rid of these people. However, it's worth it, isn't it?"
Leibrov immediately nodded and said, "of course it's worth it! It's impossible to expand into a regiment, but with these people, it's still no problem to expand to a battalion!"
Gao Yang stood up and said with a smile, "I'll brush the lunch box. Go back and be ready to fight at any time. Abdullah tasted the sweetness and is likely to ask you to fight again. Now is a critical period. If you can help, you must try your best to help."
Leibrov said casually, "yes, boss."
In the morning, he took the artillery out for a fight. In the evening, Salim came with a supply team, and this time Salim came with some good things. There were half a truck of tomatoes in the supply, and the meat was replaced with beef.
"Now we're at war. There's a lot of chaos everywhere. It's really hard to find vegetables. We found these tomatoes."
"That's good, good."
After thanking Salim for what he brought, Gao Yang immediately said to Liang Dong, "mouse, eat tomato stewed beef brisket at night."
After Gao Yang explained what to eat in the evening, Salim whispered, "after leaving you, Abdullah went to rafghani and asked Iran to send some artillery."
Gao Yang was surprised and whispered, "Oh? Did rafghani promise?"
Salim said with some worry: "I promised. I didn't think about it at all. I promised to send the best artillery. If Iran sent artillery, it would enhance the combat effectiveness in a short time. However, in this way, it would be..."
What Salim didn't say is that the Iranians have more influence and control.
Salim did not want to see Hussein's armed forces completely controlled by Iran, so he was eager to win over Gao Yang, because he was willing to introduce Russian forces to check and balance Iran. If Abdullah attracted a large number of Iranian artillery, it would naturally run counter to his wishes.
But for Gao Yang, it's a great surprise that Iran can send artillery. He doesn't compete with Iran for control over Yemen. Iran sends people and guns, so he doesn't have to pay his own money to enhance the strength of Hussein's armed forces. This is not a good thing.
Of course, these words can't be said to Salim, so Gao Yang just said with regret: "no way, we're unlikely to send a large number of people here for the time being, so that's the only way."
Salim was disappointed, but Gao Yang was secretly pleased, because if Iran decided to expand the scale of assistance and start sending guns and bombs, he might be able to save money for guns. Even if he couldn't save money for guns, he would admit it. As long as Iran could provide shells, it would be a surprise.
