Chapter 1049: From moderately prosperous to wealthy!
Peking.
New group.
"Our victory this time has been very fruitful!"
Zhao Gang held a folder in his hand with a smile on his face:
"More than 400,000 Japanese and puppet troops were killed, wounded and captured, and more than 120,000 guns of various types were seized, more than 7 million rounds of bullets, more than 300,000 grenades, more than 200 artillery pieces, more than 1,000 machine guns, and combat supplies..."
Listening to Zhao Gang read it out one by one, the corners of Captain Li's mouth gradually rose.
Although the equipment of the Japanese and puppet troops is far more than that.
However, the weapons and ammunition of the Japanese and puppet troops suffered heavy losses in the battle. Many Japanese soldiers even destroyed their rifles and machine guns before they died.
In addition, almost all the Japanese mountain artillery, heavy artillery and artillery shells were blown up by the Japanese, and what was captured were basically small-caliber mortars and infantry guns.
Li Yunlong, who was accustomed to using heavy artillery, tanks and aircraft, as well as semi-automatic rifles and fully automatic rifles, no longer looked down upon the equipment of the Japanese and puppet troops.
Not to mention Li Yunlong, even the front-line soldiers of the New Regiment and the main force of the 129th Division could only describe the Japanese equipment in one word: garbage.
However, these weapons and ammunition are still first-class equipment for militia guerrillas and the main force with poor equipment.
Even the national army was covetous of Japanese weapons and equipment.
After reading about the seizures, Zhao Gang cursed and expressed his inner feelings: "This bastard little devil is very poor."
Li Yunlong looked stunned for a moment, then nodded and agreed: "These sons of bitches are indeed poor enough."
Things are different now.
In the past, the Eighth Route Army was like beggars in front of the Japs, but now the Japs are worse than beggars in front of the Eighth Route Army.
The gap between the Japanese and the Eighth Route Army is now much greater than the gap between the Eighth Route Army and the Japanese.
"How many casualties did our Eighth Route Army have?" Li Yunlong asked.
As for how many enemies he had wiped out, Li Yunlong didn't ask because he had already calculated it.
Of course, this is just a rough calculation based on the enemy's organization, and it can be accurate to a hundred or a thousand at best, because many enemy soldiers were directly blown to pieces on the battlefield, or burned to ashes, with no bones left, so it is impossible to make accurate statistics.
"Almost all the troops have been restored, according to statistics from the staff department."
Zhao Gang turned to the next page of the document, stared at the document and continued:
"The casualties were much smaller than expected. Our Eighth Route Army suffered a total of 18,000 casualties. The ratio of casualties to the Japanese was about 1:10."
"18,000?" Li Yunlong nodded upon hearing this, "The casualties are indeed much smaller than expected."
Fighting in large groups is like a meat grinder.
Li Yunlong, Zhao Gang, and the head of the headquarters estimated that the total casualties of the troops attacking North China in this battle would be around 30,000.
The casualties of the new regiment were not large, mainly the casualties of the Central Hebei Military Region and the independent regiment, which were slightly larger.
But it is also within the acceptable range.
If the puppet troops are included, the casualty ratio between the Eighth Route Army and the Japanese and puppet troops is about 1:20.
A very exaggerated casualty ratio.
The casualty statistics here do not include the 129th Division in the Xuzhou battlefield. The casualty ratio between the 129th Division and the Japanese army was almost 1:10.
After a pause, Li Yunlong sighed: "With the advantage of weapons, fighting is so refreshing!"
Zhao Gang nodded and agreed deeply: "Well! It is indeed comfortable to fight well when you are well equipped. Modern warfare is no longer the era of cold weapons. The strength of an army should be reflected in its powerful firepower. I suggest that in the future, the army will
The main purpose of construction should be to enhance firepower. In a word, firepower is king."
"That's right, firepower is king!" A smile appeared on Li Yunlong's face. Otherwise, Zhao Gang and he could pee in the same pot? It's because Zhao Gang is not pedantic in his thinking, and many of his ideas coincide with his.
In the past, whether it was the Red Army period or the old Eighth Route Army period, the firepower of the troops was always at a disadvantage, and there was almost no logistical supplies, so they all relied on seizures.
Now that we have that condition, we naturally need to build up firepower.
It is an important tactic to kill the enemy in large numbers and reduce the casualties of our own soldiers.
…
On the seventh day after regaining North China, Boss Chen brought his bodyguard Yan Shuangying to the headquarters of the new regiment.
While in the suburbs, Boss Chen sent a telegram to Li Yunlong.
Later, Boss Chen personally ordered the Sword Squadron to drive armored vehicles to greet him.
Peiping is a big city, crowded and crowded, and there are still many Japanese spies and agents who have not yet been cleared out.
Boss Chen's safety is the top priority. In the opinion of Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang, Boss Chen's security level should be the same as that of the chief.
Without showing up at all, Boss Chen arrived at the regiment headquarters safely under the protection of the Sharp Sword Brigade.
After getting off the bus, Duan Peng took the lead in going to the regiment headquarters to report to Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang: "The regiment leader, political commissar, boss Chen and boss Yan are here."
"Invite me quickly." Li Yunlong looked happy. Duan Peng was about to walk out, but Li Yunlong hurriedly stopped him, "Wait a minute, Political Commissar Zhao and I will go and invite him in person."
Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang put down their work, quickly put on their military caps, and walked out quickly.
I happened to see Huang Erhu leading Chen Feng and Yan Shuangying to the regiment headquarters.
Chen Feng looked around a few times, and then he took the initiative and said, "Boss Li, Boss Zhao, congratulations on getting rich! Your regiment is becoming more and more impressive."
Three years ago, Chen Feng remembered that the first time he visited the new regiment headquarters was in Zhengjia Village.
At that time, the new regiment had just finished the counter-mopping battle in Cangyunling, and Li Yunlong made a small profit.
The conditions at the regiment headquarters at that time were poor. The walls were made of stone and earth, covered with tiles, and looked as if they were about to collapse at any time.
Later, as the new regiment won more and more battles, its business grew bigger and bigger, and the regiment's headquarters became better and better.
Now the headquarters of the new regiment has moved into a courtyard with three entrances and three exits.
After a few decades, if you want to buy a yard like this, the price will be at least over 100 million.
"Same joy." Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang clasped their fists in return. Li Yunlong smiled and said, "Our new regiment relies on your support, Brother Chen, to be where we are today. Otherwise, Brother Zhao, I and you wouldn't know which mountain we would be fighting guerrillas in."
Woolen cloth."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Zhao Gang feels the same, and what Li Yunlong said is true.
Without Boss Chen's assistance in the name of business, the Eighth Route Army would probably still be living a miserable life at this time, let alone regaining North China and annihilating the North China Front Army.
Zhao Gang smiled and said: "Brother Li, are you used to living in a high-walled compound? Otherwise, it would be more impressive if the regiment headquarters were moved into the Japanese headquarters."
"Japanese headquarters?" Li Yunlong said, "Old Li, we can't stay there."
Zhao Gang wiped his hands and said, "Brother Chen, please come in quickly."
Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang invited Chen Feng to the regiment headquarters.
Several operational staff officers were very sensible and waited until they moved to another room to work with maps, documents and telephones.
After entering the regiment headquarters, Chen Feng went straight to the point without any unnecessary nonsense: "This time I came to your regiment headquarters mainly to verify the business price of the North China Campaign and to discuss the receipt of goods."
Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang looked at each other, and both saw a deep joy in each other's eyes.
Although Boss Chen has never defaulted on a bill, he has always been honest and has always delivered goods to his door.
Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang also unconditionally trust Boss Chen.
But then again, after all, I feel at ease with the weapons, ammunition and combat supplies I got.
"I've been waiting for you, Brother Chen, to come to my door for a long time." Li Yunlong suddenly smiled.
Chen Feng said: "In this North China campaign, two brothers led the troops to eliminate the main force of the North China Front. The Japanese troops eliminated were 9 divisions, plus 3 brigades, about 153,000 people, including the 11th Division.
It is a Category A division, which means a total of 213,000 Japanese quota."
"No problem!" Li Yunlong listened carefully, then smiled and said, "It's the same as mine and you, Brother Zhao."
Zhao Gang was also smiling and feeling happy. These were weapons and ammunition.
After calculating this wave of quotas, not only the new regiment, but also the entire Eighth Route Army will be extremely wealthy.
The conversation changed and Chen Feng asked: "Have you calculated the number of mountain artillery and tanks and armored vehicles that were captured and destroyed by the Japanese?"
"That's right." Li Yunlong said hurriedly, "Old Zhao, show the list to Brother Chen quickly."
Zhao Gang stood up quickly, and soon brought a folder and handed it to Chen Feng: "Brother Chen, this is the list compiled by the staff of our new regiment. Please take a look."
Chen Feng opened it and read it. This was a general list. It not only included the consumption of weapons and ammunition, but also the casualties of the Eighth Route Army, as well as the total number of Japanese and puppet troops killed and captured. Almost all of them were on the list.
After a while, Chen Feng saw a list of data on the destruction and capture of Japanese tanks and armored vehicles, as well as the destruction and capture of artillery and Japanese cars.
All I saw on the list was:
Captured and destroyed 165 Japanese tanks and armored vehicles.
Approximately 450 Japanese artillery pieces of 75 mm or above were captured and destroyed.
Approximately 3,800 Japanese military vehicles were captured and destroyed.
Zhao Gang explained: "It is easier to count the destroyed and captured Japanese tanks and armored vehicles, but many cannons and cars were blown up by the Japanese themselves, so it takes about 100%."
Chen Feng nodded: "There is no problem with the data. It is similar to the number possessed by the North China Front."
In this battle in North China, 9 Japanese divisions and 3 brigades were wiped out.
A division has at least one artillery wing, and each artillery wing is equipped with 36 75mm mountain guns or 75mm field guns.
Including a mountain artillery regiment directly under the North China Front, as well as a heavy artillery regiment directly under the North China Front, as well as mountain artillery and field artillery equipped by various infantry regiments and infantry brigades, there are a total of about 450 artillery pieces of 75 mm or above.
Including infantry artillery and mortars, the artillery of the North China Front is about 1,000.
The artillery firepower of the Japanese North China Front can be regarded as a dimensionality-reducing strike against the National Army of equal strength.
However, in front of the Eighth Route Army, the Japanese were the one who suffered the dimensionality reduction attack, because the Eighth Route Army used more than 1,000 howitzers with a caliber of 105 mm or more.
Coupled with the fact that there were Eighth Route Army aircraft in the sky providing fire support, the Japanese artillery was unable to exert its due strength.
On the battlefield, the Japanese were constantly suppressed and beaten, with almost no power to fight back.
"OK!"
Chen Feng nodded:
"Then I have to pay you 165 tanks and armored vehicles, 450 artillery pieces above 75 mm, and 3,800 cars."
In this battle in North China, Okamura used almost all tanks and armored vehicles, many of which were left over from the disbanded 3rd Tank Division.
However, except for the tank regiment of the 11th Brigade, Okamura did not use these tanks and armored vehicles intensively.
Of course, even if used intensively, the Eighth Route Army only needs two or three tank companies to kill these Japanese tanks.
"Thank you very much, Brother Chen!" Li Yunlong laughed.
"Thank you, Brother Chen!" Zhao Gang smiled broadly.
Both brothers knew very well that this was just a long-term business of destruction and capture, and they had not yet gotten to the point.
Boss Chen took out a small notebook and wrote down the 213,000 quota for killing the Japanese, as well as the number of tanks, armored vehicles, artillery and cars that needed to be paid.
As for whether Boss Chen can afford the price, Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang are not worried at all.
Last time, Boss Chen said that they sunk the Japanese island, and Boss Chen could even afford the price.
After so many contacts, Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang are quite familiar with Boss Chen, and they know very well that Boss Chen is not the kind of person who likes to brag.
Chen Feng then said: "The next step is to eliminate one front of the Japanese army."
Li Yunlong's expression changed: "Is there any business in destroying a front army?"
"Of course!" Chen Feng raised his eyebrows, "The Japanese only have a few front troops. Doesn't it count as a business to eliminate one of them?"
Li Yunlong hurriedly said: "Brother Chen, you have the final say."
Although I said this, I felt happy in my heart. I originally thought that if I had the quota to kill the Japanese, it would be the whole business, but I didn't expect that there would still be business if I eliminated one front army.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! In this battle, Li Yunlong led his troops to eliminate the main force of the North China Front.
If nothing else happens, the designation of the North China Front Army will be revoked by the Japanese headquarters.
If this can be considered business, then this business may be huge.
Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang looked at each other, and both saw a strong look of expectation in each other's eyes.
Chen Feng took paper and pen and quickly started writing in his notebook.
Although there is no business in destroying a Japanese army group, it does not mean that there is no business in destroying a front army.
If we say that killing the Japanese First Army before, it allowed the entire Eighth Route Army to live a well-off life.
So the elimination of the North China Front this time will be enough for the Eighth Route Army to live a prosperous standard of living. Not only will the weapons, equipment and combat supplies be in a wealthy state, but there will also be surplus food to support the New Fourth Army and other fraternal units.
The days are getting more and more exciting.
Like last time, Chen Feng wrote several pages in a row before closing the pen and handing the notebook to Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang.
Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang quickly took the notebook and started reading it.
Upon seeing this, the two people's eyes suddenly widened, and even their breathing became a little quickened.
Eliminate the North China Front transaction price:
[500 122mm howitzers, 250 152mm howitzers, 250 Katyusha rocket launchers, 100,000 Type 56 firearms, and 300,000 tons of combat materials.]
[Note: Each gun is equipped with 2 tractors.]
There are 1,000 artillery pieces alone, and they are all large-caliber artillery pieces!
This is only the first item, there are more below.
Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang opened their eyes wide, held their breath, and continued to look at the next price tag.
