Chapter 237: You call this a mountain artillery camp?
"Chu Yunfei has joined our new group?"
At the Yangcun martial arts training ground, Commander Li Da, who was inspecting the training of the first battalion, frowned slightly after listening to the report from the cavalry battalion's communications unit.
He said in a puzzled tone: "Didn't you say that these officers are going to the main force group? Why are they here here?"
Although the two met in Hulugou last time, Li Yunlong didn't have a good impression of Chu Yunfei.
Of course, the main reason for not having a good impression of Chu Yunfei was that Li Yunlong had a problem with the 358th Regiment when the Eighth Route Army was reorganized to cross the Yellow River eastward.
The more important reason is that although this is the period of cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, Li Yunlong has been fighting the Kuomintang army for ten years, and it is clear that the two sides cannot piss in the same pot.
Commander Li Da has always been wary of the national army.
Therefore, during the Hulugou ambush battle, Li Yunlong learned that the 358th Regiment's station was behind him, so he ordered the cavalry battalion to ambush behind him to prevent someone from stabbing him.
"Our new regiment is indeed not the main regiment, but we are the ace regiment of the Eighth Route Army. Chu Yunfei's 358th Regiment is also Yan Xishan's ace regiment."
"Ace versus ace, it makes sense."
There were uniform shouts and cheers from the soldiers training. Zhao Gang heard Li Yunlong's words and said from the side.
Li Yunlong said in a disdainful tone:
"This train is not pushed, and the cowhide is not blown."
"Our regiment is called the ace regiment because of its actual record. What about the Sakata Regiment, the Kuroshima Cavalry Regiment, the 4th Brigade, the 225th Regiment, the Okazaki Battalion, and the Yamazaki Detachment."
"By the way, there are also the Yamamoto Special Agents, the Seventh Japanese Tank Regiment, the two squadrons of the Kwantung Army, and the Zuojiu Brigade. I don't even bother to mention them."
"Who is not the defeated general of our new regiment?"
"Does the 358th Regiment have any record? It doesn't seem like it does? He doesn't even have a record, but he has the nerve to call him an ace?"
"I'm embarrassed to point you out." Zhao Gang said with a smile, "Are you too lazy to mention it? Why don't I use calligraphy to write you a couplet? You can carry it with you every day, and tell people when you see them, you
Li Yunlong led the new regiment to annihilate so many enemies, how honorable is that?"
"Do we, Mr. Li, care about face?" Li Yunlong said, "Stop talking nonsense, let's go meet this guy Chu Yunfei."
Zhao Gang said: "After all, I am here to visit today and I am a guest of the headquarters. You have to be polite when you speak. You can't make people unable to get off the stage with just a few words."
"Don't worry." Li Yunlong hummed, "I know it well."
…
In the courtyard of the regiment headquarters.
Sun Ming whispered in a low voice: "Tuanzu, have you noticed that this new group looks richer than our 358th group?"
"Walking here from the entrance of the village, the equipment of this new group is simply dazzling."
"Such as semi-automatic rifles, Czech light machine guns, Maxim heavy machine guns, 60mm mortars, and machine-gunned anti-aircraft guns."
"By the way, there are also large-caliber heavy machine guns."
"I also saw how many 75mm mountain cannons there are on the grain drying field?"
Chu Yunfei nodded, with a puzzled look on his face.
He had already seen the new group of sophisticated equipment in Hulugou last time.
At that time, the New Regiment did not yet have equipment such as Garand semi-automatic rifles, large-caliber heavy machine guns, and American 75mm mountain cannons.
At that time, he suspected that the Soviet government might be secretly providing a small amount of weapons and equipment to the Eighth Route Army.
But now it seems that he is overthinking. Garand semi-automatic rifles and M2 large-caliber heavy machine guns are standard equipment of the US military and cannot be sold by the US.
Could it be that the United States was secretly supporting the Eighth Route Army? Chu Yunfei was a little unsure.
Those pieces of equipment that Chu Yunfei was extremely jealous of, the new group was just exposed, with no intention of hiding them.
"Even their cavalry are equipped with Czech guns, loudspeakers, and mortars."
"There are also those automatic anti-aircraft guns. They are definitely made by large foreign manufacturers. Their quality is much better than the several automatic anti-aircraft guns in Kenanpo."
"Even the Suluotong 20mm anti-aircraft gun equipped by the national army's ace German weapon master was inferior to the one in the hands of the Eighth Route Army."
"And looking at the number, there are at least dozens of them."
"Where did they get so many anti-aircraft guns?"
He glanced at the two 20mm machine guns in the yard with some jealousy, and Chu Yunfei's tone was filled with envy.
If you ask what is the most annoying thing about the Japanese, it is undoubtedly the Japanese planes. The Japanese can still run away if they cannot defeat them on a frontal battlefield.
For example, the 358th Regiment fought with the Japanese Sakata Regiment for an hour and suffered more than 300 casualties. Chu Yunfei led the 358th Regiment to escape, and the Japanese were helpless.
But there is no way for Japanese planes to bomb your headquarters and artillery positions specifically.
At the Xingkou battlefield, the Japanese army occupied Yangmingpu Airport and had only one flying team with more than 20 aircraft, causing an average of thousands of casualties to Chinese soldiers every day.
On the battlefield, if a brigade is equipped with dozens of high-performance anti-aircraft machine guns, it can deny the enemy's aircraft any advantage and can even shoot down the enemy's aircraft.
Sun Ming said: "One regiment of the Eighth Route Army is actually equipped with dozens of machine guns. It is simply a waste of natural resources."
"What is stated on the surface," Chu Yunfei said solemnly, "may not be the full strength of the new group."
Sun Ming couldn't help but take a breath when he heard this. Isn't this the full strength of the new group?
"salute!"
Suddenly, the guard's voice sounded outside the door, and Chu Yunfei and Sun Ming turned to look at the door.
Li Yunlong was seen walking in from the door, followed by a fair-faced Eighth Route Army soldier with a bookish air.
Chu Yunfei remembered that he seemed to have seen this person in Hulugou. This person should be Zhao Gang, the political commissar of the new regiment, right?
The two sides met and exchanged military salutes.
"Commander Li, you are well!"
Chu Yunfei said: "It must have been several months since the last time you and I said goodbye to each other in Hulugou. Commander Li led his troops to wipe out the 7th Japanese tank regiment, and then led his troops to escape from the enemy in the air and surrounded by heavy ground troops.
Encirclement, Chu admires such a feat!"
After laughing, Li Yunlong said in a sinister tone: "The Seventh Regiment of Japanese Tanks is not worth mentioning."
"Your 358th Regiment is the main force in the World War II area. It is Commander Yan's trump card. You must have eaten up a Japanese regiment, right?"
Chu Yunfei thought to himself, why does Li Yunlong always have thorns in his words when we meet him? It seems that I, Mr. Chu, have not offended you, Li Yunlong, right?
"I feel ashamed to say it." Chu Yunfei said, "My unit has fought against the Japanese army several times, but we have never achieved such a dazzling result."
"However, we all fight under the same army, belong to the same order of battle of the national army, and serve the country under the command of Chairman Chiang and Commander Yan."
"We should treat each other as brothers."
"Can I call you Brother Yunlong and Brother Zhao?"
Chu Yunfei has always been someone who refuses to suffer losses, and verbal confrontations are no exception.
What he meant by this was that although I, Chu, had never killed the Japanese army, no matter how good you Li Yunlong was, wouldn't you still be under the command of Chairman Chiang Kai-shek and Commander Yan?
After being pulled back by Chu Yunfei, Li Yunlong laughed twice and said, "No problem, please, Brother Chu."
Li Yunlong invited Chu Yunfei and Sun Ming into the regiment headquarters for a drink of water.
Putting down the water glass, Chu Yunfei said:
"This time, Mr. Chu came here with the purpose of learning and observing your group."
"Mr. Chu really admires your regiment's record in fighting the Japanese, especially the battle when Brother Yunlong led his troops to wipe out the 7th Japanese Tank Regiment. I was very shocked. Can you let me take a look at your regiment's training?"
?”
"Of course there is no problem. During the period when Commander Chu and Adjutant Sun are observing the regiment, all important matters of the military aircraft will be made public."
Li Yunlong responded with a smile on his face, and there was something different in his smile. Zhao Gang's mouth curled up slightly when he saw this scene.
Training does not need to be hidden, Chu Yunfei can see enough.
Except for the Sharp Sword Squadron, the training methods of other units are similar to those of the Jinsui Army. They are nothing more than physical fitness, stabbing and marksmanship training.
Chu Yunfei actually wanted to see more about how much foreign equipment the new regiment had.
"Brother Chu, please!"
"Brother Yunlong, Brother Zhao please!"
Everyone then walked out together.
At this time, the first, second and third battalions of the new regiment and the cavalry battalion were not in Yangcun.
Only the machine gun battalion, heavy machine gun battalion, mountain gun battalion, guard company, and sword squadron are stationed here.
The county brigade has already gone out to do side work, and the Lijian Squadron has also gone to Chenjiayu and Hanjia Village to conduct reconnaissance.
However, the four battalions are not far from Yangcun. From the map, the four battalions are located around Yangcun, protecting Yangcun.
"This is my heavy machine gun battalion, with a total of 24 Maxim heavy machine guns."
Li Yunlong pointed to a row of eight Maxim heavy machine guns arranged in three rows on the ground and said that the soldiers were training to dismantle the heavy machine guns while blindfolded.
Chu Yunfei stepped forward and touched Maxim. The quality was definitely that of a major foreign manufacturer, and neither the range nor the accuracy of the Min-24 heavy machine gun could compare with it.
The national army's standard heavy machine gun company is equipped with 6 Civilian Type 24 heavy machine guns, and a heavy machine gun battalion can have up to 18 Civilian Type 24 heavy machine guns.
Li Yunlong's heavy machine gun battalion is actually equipped with 24 Maxim heavy machine guns? Strengthen the heavy machine gun battalion?
The two heavy machine gun companies of the 358th Regiment are only equipped with a total of 12 civilian 24 heavy machine guns, and neither of them has a heavy machine gun battalion.
This new group of firepower...
After watching the heavy machine gun camp, Li Yunlong led Chu Yunfei and Sun Ming to the grain drying field in Yangcun.
"Your department's equipment is very luxurious."
"It's actually equipped with a mountain artillery battery of four 75mm caliber mountain cannons. They all look to be American."
"It just so happens that Mr. Chu also has a mountain artillery battalion, but they are all made in Jin Dynasty and only have 12 75mm mountain artillery."
At this time, there were only four M1 75mm mountain guns placed on the Yangcun Valley, and the artillerymen were undergoing gun cleaning training.
Seeing that the new regiment only had four mountain cannons, Chu Yunfei smiled again on his face, thinking that although my mountain cannons were not as good as yours in quality, they were more numerous in quantity.
With a chuckle, Li Yunlong said: "What a coincidence, Mr. Li also has a mountain artillery camp."
After finishing speaking, Li Yunlong shouted loudly: "Zhuzhu!"
The tall and round Wang Chengzhu ran over and saluted Li Yunlong with a military salute: "Here we are!"
Li Yunlong said casually: "Let your artillery push out all the guns from your mountain artillery battalion and show them to Commander Chu for inspection."
It's just a mountain gun camp, so you don't need to hide it, and showing off your muscles openly can also dispel some people's other thoughts, lest cats and dogs jump out to look for them.
"Yes!" Wang Chengzhu turned around, picked up the whistle and started blowing.
The artillerymen who heard the whistle quickly ran over to assemble and lined up neatly on the grain field.
"Push out all the cannons."
"Move quickly, quickly!"
Wang Chengzhu's voice roared, and the artillerymen dispersed in a hurry, running quickly to the houses around the grain drying field, and the sound of banging doors was heard.
Chu Yunfei's expression was full of surprise.
No way.
No way.
Could it be that Li Yunlong really had a mountain artillery camp?
As the door of the house was pushed open, 75mm mountain cannons were pushed out from the house below the threshold by a new regiment of artillery.
In less than 3 minutes, all the American mountain artillery pieces of the new regiment were neatly placed on the valley floor.
Originally, the New Regiment only had 20 mountain cannons, but after two aircraft were shot down in the Guanjianao battle, Chen Feng added 6 more to the New Regiment, and now there are 26 mountain cannons in total.
Chu Yunfei and Sun Mingmo counted twice, there were 26 mountain cannons, and they were dumbfounded.
You call this a mountain artillery camp?
Isn’t this new group too rich?
An infantry regiment is actually equipped with a mountain artillery regiment?
