What the Eighth Route Army did not know was that the division commander of the 114th Division, Numata Tokushige, was among their ambush team and was dying among the Japanese.

Yes, on July 16, 1939, the commander of the Japanese 114th Division, Numata Tokusaka, was ambushed by our army on the eve of his return to China and was seriously injured in the east of Liaocheng.

The division commander, at the level of lieutenant general, was personally appointed by the Emperor. He was definitely a senior general in the Japanese army. Therefore, the little Japanese did not bother to chase the Eighth Route Army, which had disappeared long ago. It was estimated that they would not be able to catch up.

Yes, the leader of the rescue division is more important.

So, the little devil mobilized the car and sent the commander of his division to a field hospital for rescue, and finally sent him back to China. The final outcome? He died of serious injuries and the ball was dead... This is definitely big news! It is also good news.

Of course, the good news is for us. The little Japs don’t think so. Especially since the war has started so far, only 10 Japs at the general level have been killed. Among these 10 generals, there is only one Lieutenant General in the Air Force.

Lieutenant General Ogasawara Mazuo, and the rest are major generals.

Moreover, except for one of these major generals who is currently serving, the rest are posthumous, such as Iizuka Kunigoro.

Do you know this Kunigoro Iizuka? His father is of German descent. He is tall and bearded. He looks very powerful and is known as the God of War. Then the reporter took pictures of him on the battlefield. This guy stood on the high ground and led

Wearing a torn steel helmet, holding a command knife and banging with bare arms, but the helmet reflected light...

So, the sentry of the 160th Division of the Guangdong Army on the opposite side dazzled the eyes. The sentry took a look, what is this thing jumping around? Is it flashing? Oh, it is a Japanese. So the sentry called some veterans, veterans

I used the captured Sanba Gai to shoot this stupid guy...

Well, Kunigoro Iizuka used his own life to illustrate that pretending to be cool will not only lead to lightning strikes, but also bullets to the heart.

Numata Tokushige died, and the little devils were filled with sadness. After all, he was a general at the level of an army division commander, and he was beaten to death on the battlefield like this... Oh, no, he didn't die on the battlefield, then...

It's easy to handle.

Therefore, the news given by the Japanese was that he died of illness, or he died violently. Anyway, you didn't see the body, so whatever I say is what I said.

Announce the truth? The Japanese are not stupid, how can they tell the truth? If you tell them, won't they embolden others and destroy your prestige? You must not say it.

Of course, it’s not that the little devil didn’t react. Anyway, the 114th Division was immediately disbanded. Well, the division commander was killed, and it’s not embarrassing enough to keep this number. 114th Division, Nanjing Massacre

One of the executioner divisions, just disappeared into the Japanese battle sequence.

It is worth mentioning that the 114th Division was formed from the reserves of the 14th Division. And one of the sources of troops for the 14th Division is Hiroshima, which is a good place to recruit men.

Maybe it was because the Japanese troops were too severely damaged in the early stage, or maybe the Japanese strategic intentions were initially fulfilled, or maybe the Japanese were busy formulating a new attack plan... In short, after the Japanese captured Changzhi Yushe and other places, they did not attack again.

Continue to attack Licheng.

Without taking the initiative to attack, the Handanchang Avenue will not be opened, and the little devils are also preparing a battle plan. This involves mobilizing troops, appeasing and stabilizing the existing occupied areas, and repairing gun towers and bunkers... In short, the little devils will not

idle.

The little devils will not be idle, and neither will the Eighth Route Army. If you build roads, we will destroy them. If you transport troops, we will ambush you. If you build gun towers, we will attack gun towers... In short, there are no big battles, but small-scale battles occur almost every day.

It's all happening.

The chaos outside has not affected the safe development and production of Jiuzhaigou. But the bad news is that because the Japanese reconnaissance planes are flying around too frequently, the smelting plant is in a semi-stop state. This is a big problem.

question.

The smelting plant has a small blast furnace, an open-hearth furnace, crucibles for steel-making, fire-based copper-making, etc. But no matter which one it is, it takes time to burn it and it also needs to emit smoke... The Japanese reconnaissance plane

It's flying around and can't do anything.

"Transfer. Those who can be transferred to that cave will be transferred to the cave. Those who cannot be transferred, just find other ways!" Minister Zhang made a decision here.

"I completely agree with this. Although I am in charge of the arsenal, smelting is not the same thing as ordnance industry. Comrade Luda and the others are still in charge. What I want to say is, if you need our help, don't be embarrassed.

Open your mouth. Look, the new independent group is nearby, can they help?"

When Hu Changyi spoke, he easily regarded the new supplementary group as one of his own, which made Minister Zhang and others feel strange: "Well, I tell you this so that you can have an idea in mind so that you can arrange production.

Now it seems that the gray iron needed for hand grenades will be affected, as will the wrought iron shells, and the barrels of machine guns and semi-automatic guns will also be affected to some extent. However, we still have the barrel steel we have accumulated. You have the numbers here.

.”

"I have complete records here. Don't worry, the barrels of the light machine gun and the continuous machine gun are enough for half a year. If there is no new source of barrel steel by the end of the year, we will have to stop production. In addition, our gray barrels

We still have more than ten tons of iron reserves, so we can still make some grenades," Hu Changyi said.

"If nothing happens, then continue production, don't reduce production, insist on producing at the maximum speed to meet the needs of the front line. Fortunately, we have enough steel rails in storage, and the production of grenade launchers and bolt-action rifle barrels will not be affected."

Minister Zhang said.

"Minister Zhang, how many copper plates are there for the bullet casings?" Hu Changyi asked.

"Don't worry, according to the current production rate, it can still be used for two years. Moreover, our soldiers will pay attention to recycling cartridge cases when fighting, and each unit can also reload some ammunition on its own, which greatly supplements our ammunition consumption." Zhang

The minister said.

"It's enough!" Hu Changyi was relieved, feeling that he didn't need to find a way to use the system to exchange steel plates. He just didn't know how much copper materials Minister Zhang and the others had obtained from Zhongtiao Mountain and other places from the Jinsui Army and the Central Army.

Minister Zhang would not have spoken with such confidence.

"Minister Zhang, do you want to suspend the production of pistols? In the past month or so, we have produced 30,000 pistols. Is it enough for our troops?" Hu Changyi asked. Well, this pistol is the Black Star pistol, now called

Type 81 pistol. This

Since the daily output has stabilized at 60 units, the output has been increasing day by day, and now there is a lot accumulated in the warehouse. Even though Minister Zhang distributed it to the civilian staff and grassroots commanders in the team, there is still a surplus in the warehouse.
