Chapter 78 'Vampire', missing
Lin Wan listened to the battle plan, her big eyes filled with shock and joy.
If the plan is carried out smoothly, the enemy's bunkers can be eliminated one by one.
Moreover, she had no doubt that if the situation in the battle changed...
Those Kuomintang reactionary troops can run faster than rabbits!
Once psychological deterrence is established, the Kuomintang reactionaries will find it impossible to hold out any longer.
The commander might run away before the front lines even collapse!
Those painstakingly constructed machine gun bunkers will no longer pose a threat without the operation of soldiers.
"This...this is night vision goggles?"
Lin Wan stretched out her hands and carefully picked up the beautiful helmet on the box, examining the two cylindrical parts on top that resembled a telescope.
Lightweight and portable, it was completely different from the night vision devices she was used to.
With Chen Huai'an's help, he put it on his head, drew the curtains, and then turned off the lights.
In an instant, the interior of the house became clearly visible in the dim green light, even the trash can in the corner was clearly visible.
Lin Wan looked at her hands with curiosity, even seeing the lines on her palms.
If you wear these night vision goggles, you won't have to worry about bumping into trees even when walking in the pitch-black wilderness.
I couldn't help but exclaim, "This is so advanced! This is like a modern night vision device!"
Chen Huai'an drew back the curtains and asked curiously, "You've also come into contact with night vision devices from the Republican era?"
That's a rare find; it's not available in China at all.
At that time, even the front-line battlefields of Western countries only had a few hundred units deployed.
Because the quantity was too small, it was a drop in the ocean and did not have the effect of turning the tide of the battle.
Lin Wan took off the night vision goggles and carefully placed them on the box.
He nodded and said, "I didn't see it with my own eyes during the Republic of China era; I only read foreign reports about it."
It was invented in Germany and deployed on the battlefield, and was even given the name "vampire".
However, night vision devices back then were not as sophisticated, compact, and portable as modern ones.
The design of "Vampire" is to mount a searchlight with a filter on the gun.
Searchlights emit infrared light, allowing you to see the enemy clearly in the dark.
Even if a soldier wants to use night vision goggles, he still has to carry a power supply box.
Due to their large size and weight, they would affect the soldiers' movement speed.
If it's a nighttime frontal battle, then it's not a big deal.
However, rapid infiltration operations are more complicated.
I never imagined that after 76 years of development, night vision devices have become so advanced!
Lin Wan stared at the night vision goggles on the coffee table, her big eyes filled with amazement.
After all, compared to needing to carry a power supply box and attach a palm-sized device to the gun, the compactness and convenience of modern night vision devices are truly impressive.
In fact, to avoid the night vision devices falling into enemy hands, Chen Huai'an deliberately chose this model that only had basic functions.
The military surplus store also has more advanced night vision devices with LCD screens and aiming assistance.
These things are too technologically advanced, and reconnaissance soldiers are on a dangerous mission deep behind enemy lines.
If something goes wrong, the night vision goggles could fall into the hands of the enemy.
The LCD screen and aiming assistance function will also become samples for the enemy to study.
However, this device, which only has basic night vision capabilities, would at most accelerate the maturation of Western night vision technology by a few years if it fell into enemy hands.
It will have little impact on future technologies.
As for that helmet that looks modern, it's just for show and doesn't actually protect against shrapnel.
In terms of defensive capabilities, it's probably only good for riding electric scooters.
"How much does this night vision goggle cost?"
"This is a civilian version, it only costs 1800 yuan each."
"You only bought one?"
"We ordered 300 night vision goggles and another 1,000 military-grade bulletproof vests."
"300? And a thousand military-grade bulletproof vests!" Lin Wan frowned slightly, seemingly deep in thought.
Chen Huai'an's heart skipped a beat, and he cautiously probed, "Did we order too much? I can talk to the boss and see if we can get a refund..."
Lin Wan blinked, her expression strange.
"Retreat? Why retreat?"
After the three major campaigns, our army's strength has expanded to four million!
For an army of several million, 300 night vision goggles and 1,000 sets of bulletproof vests are far too few!
If the boss has stock, we can buy it all!
Lin Wan waved her little fists, her big eyes filled with excitement.
With this equipment, the combat effectiveness of the front-line troops will be greatly increased.
A mere 300 night vision devices wouldn't be enough for the various field armies to divide up.
If the commanders leading the troops knew the capabilities of night vision goggles, they would probably fight over those 300 goggles!
"Phew~." Chen Huai'an breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the other party was not unhappy, but instead complained that it was not enough.
Night vision devices are civilian models, and there are many manufacturers that produce them, so they are easy to buy.
I'll ask my boss to source from different manufacturers so it won't attract attention.
However, bulletproof vests are quite troublesome; it will take another month to gather just 1,000 pieces.
Moreover... all the organization's funds have been invested in these supplies, and we're out of money."
These supplies are all high-tech products, and they cost a lot of money; we spent all the money we made from selling antiques.
Lin Wan patted her bulging chest and said confidently, "Don't worry, the organization has already prepared all the antiques and medicinal herbs!"
Her voice was full of the heroic spirit of a female knight-errant.
Money really does give people courage. Regardless of gender, once they have money in their pockets, they start to speak louder!
Lin Wan stood up and estimated the space freed up in the living room to be about eight square meters, which was enough for storing and unloading goods.
He raised his hand and waved it gently.
The previously empty ground suddenly became a small mountain of supplies.
The layers upon layers of supplies were dazzling to the eye.
This is because the living room space is limited, so it wasn't filled to ten cubic meters.
If it's all filled up, the small living room of the rental apartment won't have enough space.
"So many vegetables!?"
Chen Huai'an looked at all the fresh vegetables, his mouth agape wide enough to fit an egg.
Although he also wants to try healthy eating and eat all-natural organic vegetables, there's a limit.
Even if we ate all the vegetables piled up in front of us as our staple food three times a day, it would take us at least a month to finish them!
He's not a vegetarian; he'd go crazy if he only ate vegetables every day!
Besides, even if you put it in the refrigerator, it won't last that long.
He couldn't help but smile wryly, "Looks like I'm going to be a grazing animal."
Lin Wan couldn't help but laugh when she saw the man opposite her looking miserable.
Luckily, these vegetables only accounted for half the weight; otherwise, he would probably cry from hunger!
"Oh, right, I saw this on the street and bought it especially for you!"
Lin Wan pointed to the two pieces of pork on the ground and the entrails wrapped in lotus leaves next to them.
He chuckled smugly, "Didn't you want to try some wild game? It's freshly killed wild boar, absolutely fresh!"
Chen Huai'an's face lit up with great interest; he really liked it!
Two brightly colored wild boar meat carcasses looked delicious.
He opened the lotus leaf package, raised an eyebrow, and exclaimed, "Wild boar's stomach! This is a good find!"
