Chapter 418 Conquer the business of the county seat!
Chapter 418 Capture the county business!
The next day, Chen Feng began arranging for large transport aircraft to airdrop materials for building the airport.
This time, Li Yunlong is planning to build an airport larger than Yangcun Airport.
Make some preparations in advance to get an airplane for doing big business in the future.
According to Chen Feng's estimate, building this airport will require at least several thousand tons of materials to be airdropped.
However, it doesn't matter to Chen Feng, it's just a matter of moving his fingers.
Li Yunlong handed over the task of building the airport to Xing Zhiguo, and the construction personnel were mainly engineering companies, surrounding militiamen, and ordinary people.
Last night, Li Yunlong called Chen Feng and said that he had a business to discuss.
Chen Feng first went to five kilometers west of Zhaojiayu, looked at the location of the airport and the airdrop materials, and then rushed to Zhaojiayu Village.
Recently, Japanese planes have not come for reconnaissance, so the new regiment dared to build an airport during the day.
Li Yunlong returned to Zhaojiayu after inspecting the excavation work of the heavy artillery tunnel from the Houshan shooting range. He was about to arrange for the Sharp Sword Squadron to conduct reconnaissance. Unexpectedly, he met Lu Yingjun, the captain of the Sharp Sword Squadron.
"Captain!"
Lu Yingjun gave Li Yunlong a military salute: "Duan Peng would like to ask for leave, please approve it."
"Asking for leave?" Li Yunlong asked in surprise, "Why is Duan Peng asking for leave?"
Lu Yingjun replied: "He wants to go back and see my mother."
Li Yunlong thought about it carefully. Duan Peng was from Duanjiagou, Heyuan County. It was around this time last year that a new regiment formed a special force. Boss Chen recommended it. Zhang Dabiao came all the way from southeastern Shanxi to recruit Duan Pengte.
of Sword Squadron.
Duan Peng is now the captain of the first combat team of the Sharp Sword Squadron, and has fought dozens of battles, large and small.
He has made outstanding achievements and has a promising future.
Duan Peng does have an old lady in his family, but the organization has taken his old lady out of the county and lives in a fortress household in Niujia Village, Heyuan County.
Li Yunlong nodded and said: "It just so happens that your Sharp Sword Squadron is going to Heyuan County to perform a mission. Duan Peng can drop by Niujia Village to see his mother. Remember to bring more white flour, rice, and that big can."
"Yes!" Lu Yingjun straightened up, and then asked with a bit of heat in his eyes, "Captain, what's the mission?"
Li Yunlong looked around cautiously and said, "Go to the regiment headquarters and talk."
The two quickly walked into the inner room of the regiment headquarters. Li Yunlong took out the map and spread it out on the Kang table.
Li Yunlong pointed at the map and said: "Look, there are three counties around us, namely Anhua County, Ping'an County and Heyuan County."
"Our new regiment has just arrived and we have to make a name for ourselves quickly. Otherwise, why would the people support us and join our Eighth Route Army?"
"Taking advantage of the fact that the Japanese and puppet troops in these three counties are currently empty, and the Japanese are unable to reinforce them, the regiment headquarters decided to knock down these three counties."
"The mission of your Sharp Sword Squadron is to find out the situation of the Japanese and puppet troops in these three counties. If necessary, you can cooperate inside and outside."
Lu Yingjun's eyes flashed, he was gearing up and eager to try.
"Captain, how long is the mission deadline?"
Lu Yingjun was very interested in attacking the county town.
Before the arrival of the New Regiment, the surrounding counties were filled with a squadron of Japs, and with a few hundred No. 2 Japs, they could control a county with a population of tens of thousands.
Lu Yingjun hated these devils with all his heart. These devils bullied the common people, and they were no worse than the devils.
When the country was in crisis and he betrayed his country for the sake of glory, he killed everyone he saw.
"The faster, the better." Li Yunlong said.
"Yes! The Sword Squadron will complete the mission in the shortest time!"
Lu Yingjun gave a military salute, turned around and walked out.
After Lu Yingjun left, Li Yunlong looked at his watch and saw that it was almost noon.
Boss Chen should be arriving soon, so Li Yunlong called the guard Huang Erhu and asked Huang Erhu to notify the cooking team to quickly prepare a table of hard dishes. He and the political commissar were going to entertain the distinguished guests.
Just after giving the instructions, Chief of Staff Wang Dehou walked in holding a telegram and gave a military salute: "Report to the head of the regiment, telegram from headquarters!"
Li Yunlong took it and saw that it was a telegram from the headquarters.
The headquarters considered that Li Yunlong handed over a lot of radio stations this time, and the chief wanted Li Yunlong to ask his channel if some of the radio stations could be replaced with walkie-talkies.
Since the last time the brigade commander and division commander each led a column to fight, the Langya Squadron, led by Wei Dayong, used walkie-talkies to guide the artillery, which gave the leaders a taste of the sweetness.
This walkie-talkie is simply too important for infantry and artillery.
Previously, Li Yunlong had handed over more than 100 radio stations, and basically most regiment-level units of the Eighth Route Army were assigned one radio station.
This time Li Yunlong led his troops to shoot down 115 Japanese aircraft and kill 115 pilots. A total of 575 radio stations will be obtained.
There are so many radio stations. Considering the size of the Eighth Route Army, there are more than 100 regiments in total. It is impossible to use so many radio stations unless each battalion is equipped with one radio station.
However, the Eighth Route Army currently does not have that many telegraph operators and decoders, so two radio stations for each regiment are enough.
Therefore, the head of the headquarters wants to see if he can give 150 radio stations and replace the other 425 radio stations with walkie-talkies.
"I understand." After reading the telegram, Li Yunlong said to Wang Dehou, "Go and do your work."
"Yes!" Wang Dehou turned and left.
More than half an hour later, Chen Feng arrived at the invitation, and Zhao Gang also rushed back from the fourth camp.
Zhao Gang and Li Yunlong entertained Chen Feng together and prepared to discuss business.
In the inner room of the regiment, as the cooking team brought hard dishes to the kang table, the aroma soon filled the inner room of the regiment.
Although the regiment headquarters opened small stoves from time to time, the cooking team and the soldiers below did not feel dissatisfied at all.
Because everyone knows that the regiment leader and the political commissar hosted the reception, but the big boss is rich. The weapons and equipment that the new regiment has now all come from this big boss.
Whatever you find in this person's hand is definitely a good thing.
Chen Feng has appeared twice in Zhaojiayu Village. When curious villagers asked, the soldiers would never reveal any information about the big boss.
"I called Brother Chen here this time mainly for two reasons."
On the Kang table, a friendly voice said.
"Two businesses?" Chen Feng sounded confused.
"There is only one business." Li Yunlong said, "There is another thing I need to trouble my brother with."
Chen Feng: "But it doesn't matter."
"Haha!" Li Yunlong laughed, "That's right, didn't we kill 115 Japanese pilots this time? Brother, you should pay me 575 radio stations, but our Eighth Route Army does not have that many telegraph operators and decoders, so I think
Among them, 150 radio stations will be paid as usual, and the other 425 radio stations will be replaced with walkie-talkies. Brother, do you think it will work?"
Zhao Gang also looked at Chen Feng expectantly.
Chen Feng looked at the system page and immediately responded: "No problem, the 425 radio stations can be replaced with 3,000 low-power walkie-talkies and 500 high-power walkie-talkies. Are you sure you want to replace them?"
Low-power walkie-talkies are very cheap, while high-power walkie-talkies are a bit more expensive.
However, these large and small power walkie-talkies allowed the Eighth Route Army to completely crush the Japanese army in information warfare.
"Sure!" Li Yunlong smiled happily when he heard this, "Brother, leave me 10 radio stations, 500 low-power walkie-talkies and 100 high-power walkie-talkies. The rest of the trouble will be sent to southeastern Shanxi."
Now that the new regiment is about to expand, communication at the grassroots company and platoon level is very necessary.
"It's a small matter." Chen Feng said, "By the way, what is the business we want to discuss?"
Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang looked at each other, and then Li Yunlong said: "Brother Chen, the Japanese and puppet troops in the three surrounding counties are currently empty. Our new regiment has just arrived and wants to make some names, so we are preparing to capture the surrounding Anhua and Ping'an.
In the three counties of Heyuan, I would like to ask my brother what price they can offer. It would be better if it is a 150mm heavy artillery."
After finishing speaking, Captain Li's smile became more sincere, and his eyes looked at Chen Feng full of expectation.
Chen Feng was stunned when he heard this, and then opened the system to see what price the system could offer.
Seeing Chen Feng thinking, Li Yunlong added: "To tell you the truth, brother, after you delivered the heavy artillery to your door yesterday and left, I tested the power of one of the 150mm heavy artillery, and killed the Dagu Town Japs with one shot.
At the stronghold, more than 60 Japanese and puppet troops were killed. Now when I see this 150mm heavy artillery, it’s like seeing a beautiful woman, and my heart is scratching, and I have no interest in anything else.”
Zhao Gang on the side glanced at Li Yunlong without saying anything, but also looked expectantly.
"Use heavy artillery to attack the Japanese stronghold. Aren't you afraid of exposing the heavy artillery?"
Chen Feng was a little surprised and confused.
"That's it. Our new regiment has occupied Dagu Town. The Japanese, puppet soldiers and traitors have all been killed, and the craters have been filled to erase traces, so we are not afraid of being exposed." Zhao Gang explained.
"I see."
Chen Feng smiled slightly: "It seems that Brother Li has a special liking for these 150mm heavy artillery. Well, as long as your new regiment can capture a county town, I can give you two 150mm heavy artillery and two 37mm heavy artillery."
mm anti-aircraft guns and 200 tons of grain.”
At present, the Eighth Route Army does not have an air force, and artillery alone is not safe. It must also be equipped with a certain amount of anti-aircraft firepower.
Otherwise, the cannon on the ground would become a target for Japanese aircraft.
If the Japs found out about the Eighth Route Army's heavy artillery unit, hundreds of Japs planes would immediately swarm over.
Because heavy artillery poses a great threat to both the Japanese infantry and artillery units.
One cannon fills up a football field, who can withstand this?
"Two 150mm heavy guns?"
Suddenly, Commander Li's voice rose an octave, his tone full of surprise.
Zhao Gang also opened his eyes wide and his face was filled with joy.
They thought that if they captured a county town, it would be good to have one 150mm heavy artillery, but they didn't expect that there would be two, and there would also be two 37mm anti-aircraft guns and 200 tons of grain.
Although this 37mm anti-aircraft gun has not yet been delivered, both of them are sure that it is definitely more powerful than the 20mm machine gun in terms of anti-aircraft firepower.
In addition, food is also a new thing that is currently in short supply.
"That's right, two 150mm heavy artillery pieces were captured in a county town." Chen Feng nodded, his tone affirmative.
Capturing and recovering a county town is a huge event.
Although the new regiment is now stronger, it is not very difficult to conquer the county town, but the value of capturing and recovering a county town is there, and the price will never be low.
