Chapter 1022: Its OK to have bugs, but not to collect wool!
In the Xuzhou area, there are more than 200,000 main troops of the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army.
The enemy is the 11th Army, the main force of the Japanese army.
There is no need to worry about the food problem. Li Yunlong can call for airdrops to the 129th Division at any time. During this period of time going north, the new regiment earned a huge amount of food.
It can also airdrop fine grain to the 129th Division, and every 10 tons of grain includes 1 ton of meat and canned food.
Ensure that every soldier can fight with a full stomach every day.
Even if there is no food airdrop supply, the surrounding base areas and the people around Xuzhou will support the 129th Division in its operations.
But the problem now is that the 129th Division was not under the command of Li Yunlong in this battle.
Li Yunlong cannot apply for airdrop supplies to the 129th Division.
Even if he is the nominal commander, Li Yunlong can apply for an airdrop to the 129th Division from Boss Chen.
Zhao Gang looked at Li Yunlong and asked: "Old Li, why don't you send a telegram to Boss Chen and ask, since the 129th Division is nominally under your command, can you apply for an airdrop of supplies from him?"
"It's not kind of us to do this." Li Yunlong shook his head, "Boss Chen is not the one who was taken advantage of."
Boss Chen had hinted in this regard before that the 129th Division could be nominally under the command of Li Yunlong and apply for wartime airdrops of supplies.
But this time it was different. The battle was already halfway through before I thought of putting the 129th Division under the command of Li Yunlong.
Isn’t this a clear indication of Boss Chen’s weakness?
"Then what should we do?" Zhao Gang said with worried eyes, "If the 129th Division is short of ammunition, I'm afraid we can only use bayonets to fight the Japanese. It's not like you don't know the Japanese's stabbing skills in the Class A Division. I'm afraid this battle
The 129th Division will have to sacrifice many soldiers, and this battle is to block our three regiments in northwestern Shanxi."
At this time, the main brigades such as the 386th Brigade and the 385th Brigade of the 129th Division had already been equipped with Type 56 domestic weapons.
Compared with bolt-action rifles, semi-automatic rifles and fully-automatic rifles have more powerful firepower, and their continuous firepower output is smoother.
But it consumes a lot of ammunition.
Moreover, if you run out of bullets, you will have no choice but to fight with the Japanese with bayonets.
Although the Type 56 semi-automatic rifle and Type 56 submachine gun are equipped with Mitsubishi spurs, these spurs are very powerful and can poke a hole.
But every inch is longer and every inch is stronger. In the fight with the Japanese, it is difficult for the Five and Six Styles to take advantage.
"Captain, why don't you send a telegram to Boss Chen and ask?"
Xing Zhiguo said: "What if it works? If it doesn't work, let's find a way."
"Okay!" Li Yunlong nodded and said.
In order to keep the 129th Division's ammunition out and to avoid sacrificing many soldiers, Li Yunlong could only shamelessly ask Boss Chen.
After all, this time it did not comply with the business rules agreed by both parties.
Halfway through the battle, hundreds of kilometers away, the 129th Division was nominally under the command of Li Yunlong, and then applied for airdrops of supplies.
Isn't this a joke?
Although Li Yunlong has always been very thick-skinned, when it comes to doing business with Boss Chen, Li Yunlong does not dare to mess around at all.
If Boss Chen is angered and the business is interrupted, the consequences will be disastrous.
Li Yunlong personally drafted a telegram and handed it to the communications staff, who quickly left with the telegram in hand.
About 20 minutes later, the communications staff officer walked in quickly with a telegram in his hand:
"Captain, Boss Chen has called back."
Li Yunlong hurriedly asked: "What did Boss Chen say?"
Zhao Gang, Wang Dehou, Xing Zhiguo and others also looked at the communications staff officer expectantly.
If the 129th Division could obtain airdropped supplies, it might be able to defeat or even defeat the Japanese 11th Army.
Then this business may be terrible.
The communications officer replied: "Boss Chen rejected your request, saying that it is not in line with business procedures to allow the 129th Division to be nominally under your command in the middle of the battle."
Although the right to interpret this business belongs to Chen Feng.
But this time, the system couldn't stand it anymore and wouldn't let Li Yunlong harvest the wool.
It's OK to fix bugs, but not to collect wool.
Li Yunlong nodded, with a serious expression on his face. Boss Chen's disapproval was just what he expected.
The faces of Zhao Gang, Xing Zhiguo and others darkened slightly.
As a result, the 129th Division's logistics supply line is too long, and it may be difficult to achieve greater results in the Xuzhou area.
The communications staff officer stared at the telegram and continued: "But..."
Li Yunlong's face was stern: "But what? You kid can't finish what you said in one go?"
The communications staff officer looked stern. When the leader was in a bad mood, he wanted to curse, so he quickly reported:
"But Boss Chen also said that, Commander, you can apply for an airdrop of supplies to the new regiment. After airdropping the heavy artillery shells, they can then transport them to the Xuzhou area."
Li Yunlong's eyes lit up leisurely.
This is a good idea.
Wang Dehou quickly used the scale to calculate the distance from Baoding to Xuzhou on the map, shook his head and said: "The straight-line distance from Baoding to Xuzhou is about 540 kilometers, and it will take at least 600 kilometers by rail and highway, not to mention there are many places in between.
This is a war zone in Japan, so this method may not work."
There are also conditions for applying for battlefield airdrop supplies.
It doesn’t mean that Li Yunlong can apply if he wants to.
You must apply when you are fighting against the Japanese army, and you cannot be too far from the battlefield.
Otherwise, with Li Yunlong’s character, he wouldn’t be able to take advantage of Boss Chen’s money?
If you want to use this method, you can only apply for an airdrop of supplies when the new regiment is fighting the Japanese in Baoding.
"How about," Xing Zhiguo said, "send a force south to open up the Jinpu Line?"
Jinpu Line is a railway line from Tianjin to Nanjing.
Crossing Shandong, Anhui, and Jiangsu from north to south.
The railway line passes through Xuzhou.
If this railway line is in the hands of the Eighth Route Army, it is completely possible to use trains to transport combat supplies to the Xuzhou 129th Division.
but!
This railway has not yet been completely controlled by the Eighth Route Army, and many places in the middle are Japanese war zones.
"How can we do this in time? By the time the Jinpu Line is opened, the day lilies will be cold."
Li Yunlong immediately rejected this suggestion.
After a pause, Li Yunlong suddenly changed his expression and said, "We have a solution. Let's use airplanes to deliver ammunition to the 129th Division!"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Plane?"
Everyone's eyes lit up.
"That's right, use a plane!"
Li Yunlong said firmly:
"Recently, haven't we received a batch of heavy-duty strategic transport aircraft? This strategic transport aircraft can carry a load of 25 tons!"
As Li Yunlong spoke, he took out a map, spread it out, pointed at the map and said.
"You see, after we arrive in Baoding, we can build a temporary airport nearby, and then apply for airdrop supplies. After the airdrop supplies arrive, we will collect them and use heavy-duty strategic transport aircraft to transport them to the Xuzhou area."
Zhao Gang's eyes lit up: "After the heavy strategic transport aircraft flies to Xuzhou, it can airdrop supplies, or it can notify the 129th Division to build a temporary airport in the Xuzhou area."
"It is best to build a temporary airport." Li Yunlong said, "This will make it more convenient for the 129th Division to receive goods."
Xing Zhiguo frowned and said: "But the airport where heavy transport planes take off and land has very high runway requirements. A concrete runway is required. Where can the 129th Division get so much concrete?"
Both Xuzhou and Baoding areas have plain terrain.
It is not difficult to find a piece of land to build a temporary airport.
The hard part is where to get so much concrete material.
When a heavy transport aircraft lands, it exerts huge pressure on the ground and requires high-grade cement.
"This is easy!"
Li Yunlong showed a wise expression on his face:
"We can ask Boss Chen to get credit and apply for an airdrop of concrete materials to repair the airport."
Zhao Gang's eyes lit up and he nodded and said: "I think this method is feasible! When our Yangcun Airport and several airports in northwestern Shanxi were first built, we asked Boss Chen on credit, and Boss Chen's aircraft airdropped the materials for repairing the aircraft."
A young combat staff officer said: "Since we can get credit, why don't we just ask Boss Chen to get ammunition on credit, and let Boss Chen's plane fly directly to the Xuzhou area and airdrop it directly to the 129th Division? We are repairing the airport, and we are
We are sending heavy strategic transport aircraft for transportation, isn’t this... unnecessary?”
When he said the last sentence, the young combat consultant paused.
He wanted to say, isn't this just taking off your pants and farting? Isn't it unnecessary?
However, he was afraid of being scolded by Li Yunlong, so he changed his words.
Several combat staff members thought it made sense and nodded in agreement.
Instead of paying directly on credit, Boss Chen's heavy-duty long-range transport aircraft flew over the Xuzhou area and air-dropped ammunition to the 129th Division.
Wasn't the method discussed by the regiment leader and the political commissar before just taking off his pants and farting, unnecessary?
"If you go into business with a brain like yours, I'm afraid you'll even lose your pants!"
Li Yunlong glanced at the young combat consultant angrily and said.
Xing Zhiguo, Zhang Dabiao and others on the side smiled slightly.
The young combat staff member scratched his head. Did he say something wrong somewhere?
After a pause, Li Yunlong continued: "The combat supplies obtained on credit from Boss Chen, whether they are concrete materials, weapons and ammunition, or food and medicine, must be repaid with the amount of money used to kill the Japanese. How much is reinforced concrete worth?"
Hearing what Li Yunlong said, a look of astonishment suddenly appeared on the face of the young combat staff officer: "Commander, I understand, you still know how to calculate carefully!"
Those who can serve as combat consultants in the new regiment are young officers with excellent military abilities and great potential.
Reinforced concrete is not valuable, but weapons and ammunition, especially heavy artillery shells, are very valuable.
If you apply for a large amount of ammunition now, it will definitely consume a lot of Japanese quota when the accounts are settled after the war.
But after the airdrop and transportation operation, no matter how many airdrop supplies Li Yunlong applied for, he only had to pay the Japanese quota for concrete after the war.
"Of course!"
Li Yunlong spoke confidently:
"Our Xinyi Tuan has such a huge property, how can we not be careful about it?"
However, Political Commissar Zhao raised another question and said:
"If a route is established between Baoding and Xuzhou after the airport is repaired, it will definitely require several squadrons of transport aircraft to travel back and forth every day, as well as escort fighter jets."
"As a result, we will have fewer fighter jets for battlefield operations."
At present, the Eighth Route Army has only more than 200 pilots in total.
It includes two flight groups and a fighter squadron of the New Regiment, as well as two flight groups and a fighter squadron of the headquarters.
Li Yunlong nodded, his expression slightly solemn. The Eighth Route Army's lack of pilots has always been a problem.
One of the headquarters flight groups was stationed at Datong Airport and was under the command of Ding Wei.
Provide air support to the Eighth Route Army troops of the North Road Attack Group.
Another headquarters flight regiment and fighter group were stationed at Changzhi Airport and were under the command of Commander Liu.
Provide air support to the 129th Division's offensive operations southward.
The two flight groups and fighter squadrons of the Xinxin Regiment are under the command of Li Yunlong.
One of the flying groups serves as a reserve unit and is sent to any battlefield that requires air support.
At present, if a transportation route is to be established between Baoding and Xuzhou, fighter jets will inevitably be required to escort it.
After all, there are still many little Japanese aviation units in South China and Northeast China.
Thus.
The Eighth Route Army's fighter jets used to escort bombers and support ground battlefield operations will be insufficient.
The current situation is that the Eighth Route Army has more aircraft than pilots!
"How many student pilots are there at Boss Chen's place?"
Li Yunlong looked at Wang Dehou with thoughtful eyes and asked.
Since being scolded by Li Yunlong last time, Wang Dehou had already prepared for these questions. He smiled slightly and replied: "Captain, we still have 400 pilot students with Boss Chen. This is the first time you led 220,000 pilots that time."
The main force of the Eighth Route Army, the Japanese army attacking Shanxi, killed the commander of the Mongolian Army Jutaro Amakasu, the commander of the Japanese 3rd Tank Division Nishihara Issaku, the business quota of Sakurai Shosan and Adachi twenty-three, these flight trainees have arrived in Chen
I have been studying with my boss for more than half a year."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! These 400 student pilots are also the last batch of student pilots.
From then on, preparations began for the Eighth Route Army's aviation school.
Moreover, Li Yunlong was also the first honorary principal of the Eighth Route Army Aviation School.
Reflecting the famous tree of people, after Li Yunlong became the principal of the Eighth Route Army Aviation School, he attracted many young intellectuals to join the Eighth Route Army.
When Li Yunlong heard this, the corners of his mouth kept rising, and it was harder to hold down than a Type 56 submachine gun: "Haha, 400 pilots, now there is finally no shortage of pilots!"
Li Yunlong carefully calculated the time.
These 400 pilots studied at Boss Chen's military base for more than half a year, about 10 months.
They are already considered a group of pilot students who have been flying for a relatively long time.
Now you can return and directly participate in flight combat missions.
Li Yunlong looked at Wang Dehou and ordered:
"chief of staff."
"Immediately send electricity to Boss Chen, apply for credit for concrete and recall 400 student pilots."
"Also, notify the 129th Division and ask them to choose a nearby place to prepare for building an airport."
Wang Dehou: "Yes!"
…
Xuzhou battlefield.
The Japanese failed to attack the Eighth Route Army at night, and the Eighth Route Army attacked the Japanese during the day.
Although night fighting and close combat are the specialty of the Eighth Route Army.
After all, that was back when the equipment was poor and we had to engage in night battles and close combat with the enemy.
But things are different now.
The equipment of the Eighth Route Army has long been replaced by cannons.
If the Eighth Route Army took the initiative to attack the Japanese at night, it would be difficult to exert the power of tanks, heavy artillery and air support.
In fighting the Japanese army, we must give full play to our advantages.
What's more, the Japanese A-type division also has a few skills in close combat and night combat.
It's not comparable to the average B-division Japs troops.
morning.
The infantry and tanks of the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army, under the cover of air support and heavy artillery fire, launched an attack on the positions of the Japanese 11th Army from three directions: left, center and right.
