When Yoshio Shinozuka was suspected by Shun Tada, the brigade commander had now become a wealthy landlord.
"Old Li, our Eighth Route Army has really made a fortune this time."
Zhao Gang, who came back from a meeting at the brigade headquarters, was laughing so hard that he could hardly close his mouth.
After a pause, Zhao Gang continued: "Seven mountain artillery, 92 infantry artillery, combat defense artillery, 1 mortar, crooked handle, crooked handle, 92 type, more than 100 various light and heavy machine guns, in addition
There are also more than 00 grenade launchers, more than 000 Type 38 rifles, and the full set of horse equipment for more than 800 cavalrymen."
A Japanese division's battle ammunition and supplies were often equipped with half the division's spare weapons.
So there are some brand-new weapons on this column, but they are all cheaper than those of the Eighth Route Army.
In addition, the capture of the Japanese convoy escort group and the defeat of the 13th Cavalry Regiment were captured.
The weapons seized this time are enough for the Eighth Route Army to equip one infantry regiment and one cavalry regiment.
Commander Li cocked his ears and listened carefully, and Zhao Gang continued: "There are also more than 30,000 rounds of artillery shells of various types and calibers, more than 300,000 rounds of bullets of various types and calibers, as well as grenades and throwing weapons.
There are hundreds of thousands of grenades and tens of thousands of kilograms of yellow explosives.”
"6 tanks."
"In addition, there are 60 tons each of gasoline and diesel."
Upon hearing this, Commander Li calculated carefully, slapped the table and said, "That's great. With the diesel given by Brother Chen, the arsenal doesn't have to worry about not having diesel for at least half a year."
Zhao Gang also said: "Based on the calculation of producing 10 60mm mortars per month, even if it can be produced for 8 months, that is 100 60mm mortars, and the grenade production line, smokeless powder production line and mortar shell production line
All of them can be used at full power.”
Li Yunlong nodded and said: "The premise is that production can continue during these eight months. However, the Japanese raids on the base area will probably start in two to three months at the latest, and at least one or two months."
"Yes!" Zhao Gang said, "There is still a big gap between us and the Japanese."
"I just don't know how the Japanese will transport the remaining 7,000 tons of ammunition and supplies to Taiyuan."
"It would be more comfortable if we robbed a few more columns of Japanese troops."
"Old Zhao, what are you thinking about?" Li Yunlong said, "This kind of thing can only happen once at most, and it won't work the second time."
"If we could still rob again, the brigade commander wouldn't have ordered the army column in Baoding to be blown up. How about we leave it to rob?"
Of course, the most important reason why the first robbery of the Japanese army was successful was that the intelligence was accurate, and also because the Japanese headquarters was not sure whether the Eighth Route Army knew the intelligence about the army.
After deliberately spreading intelligence and testing a military column, the Eighth Route Army did not launch an attack on that military column.
This made Yoshio Shinozuka and Hideyoshi Kusuyama feel that the Eighth Route Army did not know the information about ammunition supplies in advance.
That's why I dared to let the military train start with confidence, but in the end, I was robbed by the Eighth Route Army.
Zhao Gang also analyzed: "Moreover, there happened to be a cavalry regiment nearby that day, which made the Japanese mistakenly think that they could get back ammunition and supplies, so the Japanese planes did not drop aerial bombs on the military columns and blow up the ammunition. Next time
During a robbery like this, once the Japanese feel that they cannot get back the ammunition and materials, they will definitely let the escorting Japanese or planes blow up the military columns."
Although the new regiment's anti-aircraft firepower was very strong, the Japanese also dispatched more than a dozen aircraft that day.
The Japanese pilots worked hard to fly their planes to attack and drop bombs at medium and low altitudes, which had a chance of blowing up the military columns.
And because it was dark, the Japanese planes were unable to carry out the second bombing, which allowed the Eighth Route Army to successfully rob the military column.
If you want to rob the Japanese army, timing, intelligence and luck are all indispensable.
"but…"
Li Yunlong said coldly: "Although it is difficult for us to rob the military columns again, it may not be that easy for the Japanese to safely transport ammunition to Taiyuan."
"Intelligence..." Zhao Gang took a deep breath and said, "In the end, the most important thing is intelligence."
If there is no intelligence, let alone blowing up the Japanese military columns, how can we blow up the Japanese military columns if we don’t even know which military trains are transporting ammunition and materials?
"In a short period of time, the Japanese will definitely not dare to transport ammunition on Zhengtai Road." Li Yunlong analyzed.
"The Japs dare not transport ammunition," Zhao Gang said. "Without supplies, the Japs cannot launch a major raid. It will be at least more than a month before the Japs finish hoarding ammunition."
"In more than a month, we will be able to use another air support."
Zhao Gang looked forward to it. In the last battle to wipe out the 9th Brigade, 40 planes carried out carpet bombing against the Japanese, which left a deep impression on him.
One opportunity for air support can reliably kill almost a Japanese regiment.
Li Yunlong currently has three opportunities for air support, but the interval between each air support is three months.
Speaking of this, Commander Li was no longer sleepy and said in a cold tone: "When the Japanese start their raids, I promise to give them a big gift."
…
There was no fighting for the next half month, and there was another heavy snowfall.
The Eighth Route Army in the two base areas of Southeast Shanxi, Taihang and Taiyue have had a good year.
There is no shortage of food, clothing, weapons and ammunition.
Nowadays, the 19th Division of the Eighth Route Army is a real local rich man, and even has surplus to support brother troops in other base areas.
"Haha, brother Chen, I haven't seen you for a long time and I miss you so much."
In Yangcun, the new regiment headquarters, Li Yunlong invited Chen Feng to the kang.
On the day of the New Year, Li Yunlong invited Chen Feng to Yangcun to celebrate the New Year with the big guys from the New Regiment Headquarters.
On that day, Chen Feng met all the battalion commanders of the New Regiment, as well as the leader of the Sharp Sword Squadron, Lu Yingjun.
Chen Feng also didn't expect that Li Yunlong would actually invite Mr. Lu to be the captain of his special forces. This man was a God of War level figure.
I have to say that Captain Li is really something.
Today, Chen Feng came to Yangcun with new business.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Brother Li, haven't we seen each other for a few days?" Chen Feng sat on the kang, "Where did it come from that we haven't seen each other for a long time?"
Zhao Gang quickly explained: "Brother Li, what you mean is that if you don't see him and brother Chen, it's like three autumns apart."
"Yes, yes," Li Yunlong said, "Brother Chen and I are like three autumns apart after not seeing each other for a day."
The three of them sat cross-legged on the Kang, while the soldiers from the cooking team brought the fried horse meat one after another, and Zhao Gang opened a bottle of Fenjiu.
Li Yunlong couldn't help but feel his throat roll when he smelled the alcohol. However, because he lost the bet with Zhao Gang, he couldn't drink for a year, and he could only stare blankly when he became addicted to alcohol.
Zhao Gang poured half a bowl for Chen Feng and half a bowl for himself.
Li Yunlong also picked up the wine bottle filled with water and poured half a bowl for himself.
The three of them clinked glasses, and Chen Feng and Zhao Gang took a sip of wine and felt refreshed.
Li Yunlong took a sip of water and found it tasteless. He put down the bowl and asked, "Brother, is there any recent information on the transportation of Japanese ammunition and supplies?"
"Yes, yes." Chen Feng nodded, "But it's probably a bit difficult."
"What's the trick?" Zhao Gang took a bite of horse meat and asked.
The last time they robbed the Japanese army, in the battle between the Eighth Route Army cavalry and the Japanese cavalry, about 1,000 horses from both sides were killed.
These killed soldiers and horses were not wasted and all were brought back, so the soldiers of the new regiment had meat to eat during the New Year.
"This time the Japanese military was smarter," Chen Feng said. "Each military train only carried a few dozen tons of ammunition, and it all departed from Peiping. The departure time of each train from the station was decided on a temporary basis, and there was no train schedule.
Table, and according to my internal intelligence, once the Japanese military column is robbed, Japanese aircraft will immediately dispatch aerial bombs to blow up the ammunition and materials."
Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang looked at each other and saw a hint of surprise in each other's eyes.
The Japanese supplies are all hoarded in Peiping, and only a few dozen tons can be transported at a time, so it will be difficult to handle.
There are only dozens of tons of supplies, and a large number of Japanese soldiers and Japanese planes are ready to support them.
Risks and benefits are inversely proportional, and it is not worth the Eighth Route Army's effort.
"Every time you suffer, you gain wisdom." Zhao Gang said, "It seems that the Japanese are really smart this time."
"However, we can send a small group of troops to destroy the Zhengtai Railway." Zhao Gang said, "Slow down the speed of the Japanese's transportation of ammunition and supplies and gain more preparation time."
"It seems that's the only way." Li Yunlong nodded, and then said with regret, "It would be great if there was a way to kill the Japanese planes. Last time the Japanese planes didn't dare to dive bomb, and they couldn't shoot down even a single plane. It was all in vain.
A lot of ammunition was lost."
Fortunately, brother Chen Feng reimbursed the ammunition, so the new regiment dared to conduct such anti-aircraft defense. Otherwise, the ammunition consumed by the anti-aircraft defense alone would have wiped out the entire regiment of Commander Li.
Previously, Li Yunlong had prepaid 100 carbines and 1,000 Yunlong knives, and needed to kill a Japanese army brigade.
It has been completed so far. The first battalion killed a Japanese squadron that was raiding the guerrilla zone in Qixian County, and the new regiment killed a Japanese squadron escorting a military column in Longwangtu.
In addition to the Japanese cavalry killed by the new cavalry battalion, the total is almost equivalent to killing a large group of Japanese.
"According to intelligence." Chen Feng said, "The Japanese army added a new Wusu Airport in Taiyuan. Xincheng Airport is in the north of Taiyuan City, and Wusu Airport is in the south of the city. The Japanese built an aircraft nest in the airport that can withstand 7mm mountain artillery shells."
"Airplane nest?" Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang both looked stunned.
"It is also a bunker for aircraft." Chen Feng said, "It is in the shape of an arch. When the Japanese aircraft are not taking off, they are hidden inside."
"Can it resist the 7mm mountain artillery?" Commander Li Da sneered, "What about the 10-mm howitzer?"
"Of course the 10-mm howitzer can break down the defense of the aircraft nest." Chen Feng said, "The key question is, brother, can you pull the 10-mm howitzer within 10 kilometers of the Japanese airfield?"
"It's difficult!" Li Yunlong thought about it carefully, then shook his head, "It's almost impossible."
The main reason why the mountain artillery battalion was able to successfully bombard the Japanese airport last time was that the Eighth Route Army launched the Battle of Shotai.
There is only one chance. If you want to repeat that chance of bombarding the airport, you will have to launch another shota battle like that.
After all, it was an enemy-occupied area. The closer we got to Taiyuan, the tighter the Japanese defenses became. I am afraid that only half of the 10 howitzers were deployed before the Japanese planes came to drop bombs and blow up the howitzers.
Chen Feng said: "It is difficult to blow up Japanese aircraft, but it is not impossible to kill Japanese pilots."
Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang looked refreshed.
Li Yunlong couldn't help but asked hurriedly: "Brother, is this a new business?"
"That's right." Chen Feng took a bite of horse meat and nodded, "New business."
Both Captain Li and Zhao Gang couldn't help but look happy, finally having a new business.
