Chapter 1026 Hengshan Yong is overjoyed!

"Report!"

A powerful voice sounded outside the 129th Division Division.

"Come in."

As soon as he finished speaking, Duan Peng, who was fully armed, quickly walked into the division headquarters and gave Commander Liu a military salute: "Commander, are you looking for me?"

Mr. Liu's eyes lit up: "Duan Peng, are you here? Sit down!"

Duan Peng sat upright.

"This is the required ammunition list prepared by the staff. Take a look."

As soon as Duan Peng sat down, Mr. Liu handed Duan Peng a list on the table.

Although Li Yunlong didn't get any benefit from the system, he did get stuck in a bug.

This application for airdrop supplies was made to Li Yunlong in the name of the Sharp Sword Brigade.

Then Li Yunlong applied to Boss Chen for airdrop supplies.

Time was tight and the task was heavy. As soon as Commander Liu saw Duan Peng come in, he handed Duan Peng the list of ammunition he needed and the airdrop location.

Duan Peng took the list and looked at it, and saw that most of the supplies written on the list were heavy artillery shells, and there were relatively few other combat supplies.

Moreover, the airdrop location is a bit far away from the battlefield.

Duan Peng smiled slightly and said, "Teacher, is your list a bit conservative?"

"Conservative?" Commander Liu was slightly taken aback and asked, "You mean, there are too few weapons, ammunition and combat supplies on this list?"

"That's right." Duan Peng said, "When I came to Xuzhou, the regiment leader told me that Boss Chen has prepared hundreds of heavy-duty strategic transport aircraft, so just ask."

"Hundreds of heavy strategic transport aircraft?" Commander Liu's eyes lit up.

From the telegrams sent to and from the New Group, Mr. Liu also knew that that boy Li Yunlong had made another fortune recently.

Dozens of heavy-duty strategic transport aircraft were obtained from Boss Chen.

Each heavy strategic transport aircraft can carry 25 tons of combat supplies.

Although Commander Liu led his troops on an expedition, he has not seen this strategic long-range heavy bomber, but it should be the one that was airdropped to the 129th Division in Taiyuan.

Of course, Commander Liu also knew very well that if it was a long-range airdrop, the transport aircraft would need to carry auxiliary fuel tanks.

Heavy strategic transport aircraft must not be fully loaded.

but!

Even a heavy strategic transport aircraft carries 10 tons of airdrops.

Hundreds of heavy strategic transport aircraft can carry thousands of tons of airdrop materials at a time!

Thinking of this, Mr. Liu's breathing became a little rapid.

Even among the major European and American countries, there are very few countries whose armies can achieve this level of airdrops, right?

Thinking of this, Commander Liu suddenly felt that the list prepared by the staff department was indeed conservative.

"Yes, Commander!" Duan Peng nodded with a smile, "Hundreds of heavy strategic transport aircraft."

This time the Sharp Sword Brigade came to Xuzhou on a heavy-duty strategic transport aircraft.

There were more than 300 members of the Transport Sword Brigade, and the new regiment's air force dispatched 3 heavy strategic transport aircraft and 3 Hellcat fighter jets for escort.

The huge heavy-duty strategic transport aircraft and its six huge engines left a deep impression on Duan Peng and the Lijian team members.

Commander Liu smiled slightly: "If that's the case, then I'll ask the staff to draw up a new list."

"By the way, Commander." Duan Peng said, "There is also this airdrop location. Is it too far away from the battlefield?"

The airdrop location on this list is almost 30 kilometers away from the battlefield, and Duan Peng is worried that Boss Chen will not pass it.

In the past, many airdrops of supplies during wartime were carried out near the battlefield. Basically, when the Eighth Route Army received airdropped supplies, the Japanese would also see them.

The teacher explained.

"That's right. The Japanese army on the opposite side has quite a lot of firepower. There are at least ten artillery regiments."

"Although one artillery regiment was killed by our air force, the Japanese's main artillery force is still there."

"If we airdrop in front of the Japs this time like we did before, our airdrop supplies will most likely be subject to concentrated fire from the Japs' artillery."

"This airdrop location is within a small base area of ​​our army and is very safe."

The 11th Japanese Army has a field heavy artillery brigade under its jurisdiction, and it is also a reinforced heavy artillery brigade, with a total of 4 heavy artillery regiments and 1 mountain artillery regiment.

However, these four heavy artillery regiments are all equipped with 150mm howitzers, and there are no 240mm heavy howitzers.

In addition, each division has an artillery regiment, and some infantry regiments will also be equipped with several 75mm mountain guns or 75mm field guns.

The number of Japanese heavy artillery and mountain artillery was close to 400, and the firepower of this artillery was not weak.

However, the Eighth Route Army had more artillery than the Japanese, and its caliber was larger.

There is not only one 203mm howitzer regiment, but also three Katyusha rocket launcher regiments.

The artillery unit of the 386th Brigade alone has exceeded the firepower of the Japanese heavy artillery brigade.

Coupled with the air support of the Eighth Route Army, it formed an absolute suppression of the Japanese artillery firepower.

With the addition of hundreds of tanks, the Eighth Route Army could achieve a battle loss ratio of 1:5 with the Japanese army.

At this time, the Japanese will inevitably separate the firepower of hundreds of artillery pieces, and there will not be a situation like the last time a field artillery regiment was used intensively.

The artillery firepower of hundreds of cannons were fired at the same time. If it was within the range of the Japanese artillery firepower, it would be in vain.

Duan Peng's expression suddenly became serious. The firepower of these little Japs from the 11th Army was really not weak.

If the 129th Division was still the original 129th Division, equipped with millet plus rifle and machete, it would not be a match for the main force of the Japanese 11th Army.

After a pause, the division commander continued: "Moreover, the Japanese army now knows that our 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army is in urgent need of ammunition, and sends puppet troops disguised as Japs to attack at night to consume our ammunition."

"Teacher, what do you mean..."

"This batch of air-dropped supplies will not be discovered by the Japanese, and then when the Japanese attack, you will give them a big gift?"

Duan Peng was very smart and understood the division commander's strategic intention instantly.

"That's right, your mind works very quickly."

The teacher smiled slightly, and a look of appreciation suddenly appeared on his face.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The division commander really wants to recruit Duan Peng to the 129th Division, but a gentleman does not take away people's love. Duan Peng and the Sword Brigade are Li Yunlong's darlings.

"Okay!" Duan Peng said, "I will truthfully report on the telegram that the airdrop location is relatively far away, and let the transport plane fly lower to prevent the Japanese from seeing it."



Immediately, Commander Liu handed the list to the busy chief of staff, who quickly drew up a list.

Duan Peng quickly left with the telegram, returned to the headquarters of the Sharp Sword Brigade, and drafted a telegram himself.

Handed the telegram and list to Ma Chengfeng.

Ma Chengfengxuan immediately sent the telegram to the headquarters of the new regiment.

After Li Yunlong received Duan Peng's telegram, he quickly sent it to Boss Chen.

After receiving the telegram from Li Yunlong, Boss Chen first sent a telegram back to Li Yunlong, saying that the airdrop of supplies contained a lot of combat materials and that it would take some time to prepare.

It needs to be divided into 3 airdrops. The first airdrop will be carried out around 5 pm today, and the second and third airdrops will be carried out tomorrow and the day after tomorrow at 12 noon.

And let the Sword Brigade prepare for airdrops at the receiving point.

After Li Yunlong received the telegram from Boss Chen, he happily ordered the Communications Department of the New Regiment to forward the telegram to the Sharp Sword Brigade.

Duan Peng took the call back from the regiment headquarters and reported to the division commander.

After reading the telegram, the division commander couldn't help but beam with joy.

Today, the main artillery of the 129th Division is 122mm howitzers, about 150, in addition to about 80 152mm howitzers, 100 150mm howitzers, and 72 Katyusha rocket launchers.

In addition, there are more than 350 105mm howitzers, 75mm mountain guns and field guns.

The artillery firepower is extremely powerful.

There is also a heavy howitzer regiment with a total of 24 203mm howitzers that are not in use.

When the division commander was preparing to attack Xuzhou City, he let these 24 heavy howitzers show off their skills.

It would be a waste to use it to fight Japanese infantry.

In the previous artillery bombardment of the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army against the Japanese army, only half of the artillery firepower was used, and almost all of it was heavy artillery firepower.

Although artillery firepower is very powerful, ammunition is also consumed very quickly.

Without complete logistical supplies, the 129th Division would not be able to fight such a wealthy battle.

For 122, 150 and 152mm howitzer shells, the average shell plus packaging is about 50 kilograms.

The weight of one artillery shell is about 50 kilograms. 50x10,000 = 500,000 kilograms. When converted into tons, it is 500 tons.

This time, Commander Liu applied for an airdrop supply of 5,000 tons of heavy artillery shells, which is 100,000 rounds of heavy artillery shells.

In addition to heavy artillery shells, we have also applied for some mortar shells, 75mm mountain artillery shells, bullets, grenades and other ammunition, but the quantity is not large, and these ammunition are still sufficient for now.

After receiving the telegram, the division commander immediately ordered a unit to go to the airdrop site.

On the other hand, the political commissar immediately sent a telegram to notify all surrounding Eighth Route Army and New Fourth Army base areas, and organized local troops to lead civilian transport teams to the transportation location in preparation for receiving airdrop supplies.

With such a large amount of airdropped supplies, it would be difficult for the 129th Division's logistics transport team to transport the airdropped supplies to the artillery positions within a few days.

daytime.

The Eighth Route Army infantry and tank troops, under the cover of artillery fire, launched an attack on the Japanese troops around Xuzhou.

However, the Eighth Route Army's artillery firepower and offensive were much weaker than in the previous days.

However, the Eighth Route Army has air support. Fighters and bombers taking off from Xinxiang Airport can very well support the Xuzhou battlefield.

The Japanese army did not dare to launch a full-scale counterattack in broad daylight.

However, the various artillery regiments of the Japanese army have been dispersed and provided fire support to the Japanese infantry defending the position from hidden gun positions.

After fighting for a long time, the Eighth Route Army captured some Japanese positions. Seeing that they could not capture all the positions, they retreated.

Both sides suffered casualties on each other.

The casualties of the Japanese army were still greater than those of the Eighth Route Army, but the casualties between the Japanese army and the Eighth Route Army were smaller than in the previous days, about 3 to 1.

Hengshan Yong was overjoyed and felt more and more that the Eighth Route Army was running out of ammunition.

Although the Eighth Route Army is very prosperous now, when your Eighth Route Army runs out of ammunition, it will be the Locust Army's turn to counterattack.

Thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi.

Soon I will have the advantage!

And at the same time.

In an Eighth Route Army base about 30 kilometers away from Xuzhou, as more than 100 heavy strategic transport aircraft flew over, airdropped supplies fell all over the sky.

The leaders and soldiers who came to receive the airdrop supplies looked at the airdrop boxes and parachutes that covered the sky and blocked the sun. They all smiled, and the upturned corners of their mouths were harder to suppress than Type 56 submachine guns.



(Some brothers said that there was no update the day before yesterday, but it was updated at around 12:00 the day before yesterday. I wrote it overnight. I really had something to do yesterday and the day before yesterday and couldn't update it.)
