After the communications staff officer reported to Neji Okamura, Arisu Seizo just walked in.
"Commander!"
Arisu Seizo first lowered his head, and then looked at the smile on Okamura Neji's face, showing a hint of surprise in his heart.
Commander, how long has it been since you smiled?
It's been at least a month, right?
Ever since Kwantung Army Chief of Staff Miyano Michichi was killed in a bombing near Baoding, Okamura Neji's face had no smile. After the Xinzhou Campaign and the northwestern Shanxi mopping-up operations began, Okamura Neji often frowned and his face was gloomy.
.
"Yousuo-kun, you came just in time."
"The Northwestern Shanxi Frontline Command sent a telegram stating that the offensive of the Eighth Route New Regiment has been contained."
Okamura Neiji handed the telegram to Arisu Seizo with a smile on his face.
Although Okamura Neji has always kept his emotions secretive, this time he was really happy from the bottom of his heart.
Youmo Jingsan picked up the telegram and read it with a surprised tone:
"The 10th Division used the tactics of the Eighth Route New Regiment to deal with the New Regiment, killing more than 00 members of the New Regiment in one morning?"
Afterwards, Arisue Seizo looked at Okamura Neji and asked: "Did the 10th Division use tunnel and anti-slope tactics?"
"That's right!"
Okamura Neiji happily said: "As long as the 10th Division is not defeated by the Eighth Route New One Regiment and defends the New One Regiment's escape route eastward, it will only be a matter of time before the Eighth Route New One Regiment and the Chinese people in its defense area are wiped out.
"
In fact, Okamura Neji also thought of using tunnel and anti-slope tactics to deal with the new group.
However, Jiro Ishikawa and Moritake Tanabe of the frontline headquarters also thought of it and took the initiative to report it, so he did not issue such an order.
In Neji Okamura's view, I have to say that this tactic is indeed powerful.
As the attacking party, the biggest advantage of the Eighth Route New Regiment at present is artillery firepower. Once the advantage of artillery firepower is weakened or even lost, the New Regiment will lose its advantage.
Youmo Jingsan breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "The battle has finally turned in favor of the locust army."
"Five more days at most!" Neji Okamura was high-spirited, but his tone was very cold, "Five divisions will be able to form a siege on the new regiment. At that time, Li Yunlong and the new regiment can have a taste of iron.
The power of rolling sweep!"
While speaking, Okamura Neji stared at the map and narrowed his eyes.
The other four divisions are also fighting very hard. They are attacking the last line of defense of the New Second Regiment and the Independent Regiment. They will be able to break through in two or three days at most.
According to Okamura Neiji's estimate, after the Eighth Route Independent Regiment and the New Second Regiment were defeated, they would either retreat to the banks of the Yellow River or come over to join the New First Regiment.
Okamura Neji prefers the latter.
Because the Eighth Route Independent Regiment and the New Second Regiment are each equipped with an artillery regiment's worth of artillery.
The Eighth Route Army was so scared that they would definitely be reluctant to part with these artillery pieces. They would most likely carry their baggage along the highway and horse trail to join the new regiment and flee towards Bei Taihang.
"Commander, it's not just Li Yunlong and the New Regiment."
You Mo Jingsan said: "There are also Ding Wei's New Second Regiment and Kong Jie's Independent Regiment. Even if they cannot be wiped out completely this time, their vitality will be severely damaged and they will not be able to threaten the Locust Army in a short time."
"No!" Neji Okamura said, "This time, I will wipe out the main force of the Eighth Route Army in northwestern Shanxi!"
"Also, order the First Army to defend to the death!"
"Pay close attention to the movements of the 19th Division of the Southeast Shanxi Eighth Route, Wei Lihuang's Central Army and the Shanxi-Sui Army in Luliang Mountain."
"In case these guys cause trouble at a critical moment."
"After the Eighth Route Army in northwestern Shanxi is eliminated, we can then go back and slowly deal with them!"
"Hi!" Yumo Seizo and the communications staff member nodded in unison.
…
at the same time.
In Dagu Town, northwest Shanxi, Xinyi Regiment
Regiment Headquarters.
In the absence of Zhao Gang, Li Yunlong, Xing Zhiguo and Wang Dehou all stared at Chen Feng with expectant eyes.
Weapons that can increase the speed of attack and greatly reduce the casualties of soldiers are greatly needed by the current new regiment.
"What weapon?"
Li Yunlong asked hurriedly, his expression showing great interest and expectation.
The products produced by Boss Chen must be of high quality.
It seems that we, Lao Li, are going to get new equipment again!
Boss Chen said that he has a weapon there, which means that the New Regiment does not have it yet, and it must be a new weapon and equipment.
"The new weapon I'm talking about is called a fire-breathing tank." Chen Feng said, "As the name suggests, it is a tank that can breathe fire and can be used to deal with the Japanese infantry, bunkers and gun towers."
"Fire tank?"
Li Yunlong, Xing Zhiguo and Wang Dehou looked at each other in shock. None of them had heard of such a tank.
In their understanding, tanks fire cannons and machine guns, guide infantry to charge, break through and capture enemy positions.
"Didn't Battalion Commander Sun tell you? They learned and used this kind of tank when they were studying at overseas military bases." Chen Feng said when he saw the expressions of the three of them.
Li Yunlong said: "I have never heard Sun Desheng say this."
"Consultant Chen, how do you calculate this business?"
"How many fire-breathing tanks can you provide?"
Time was running out, and Li Yunlong didn't have time to ask further questions. Regardless of the performance of this fire-breathing tank, he had to get it first.
Anyway, the new regiment has no shortage of tank soldiers now.
Among the 300 tank trainees who went to the military base to study, 0 were tank soldiers and the other 0 were maintenance personnel.
After the tank breaks down, Mr. Chen will arrange for the required repair parts and materials to be transported by air, and these personnel will be responsible for the repair and maintenance.
Of course, after three months of training, these personnel have just started, so Chen Feng specially arranged for three maintenance masters to be stationed in the new group to help with maintenance and impart experience.
These 0 maintenance personnel have also been trained to drive tanks, and can drive tanks onto the battlefield to fight the enemy when necessary.
Chen Feng said: "The fire-breathing tank can be replaced by a 10mm howitzer and a 03mm heavy howitzer, and it can be delivered to your door within four hours."
Li Yunlong hurriedly asked: "How many fire-breathing tanks can be exchanged for one howitzer?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Needless to say, Li Yunlong knew that if he wanted to replace the fire-breathing tank, he must use the batch of 10mm howitzers and 03mm heavy howitzers that have not yet been delivered.
There is no such thing as a free lunch. As a well-versed businessman, Captain Li Da naturally understands this truth.
The fire-breathing tank is not a piece of cake. If you want to get it, you must pay a price.
Chen Feng replied: "A 10mm howitzer can be replaced by a fire-breathing tank, and a 03mm heavy-duty howitzer can be replaced by 3 fire-breathing tanks."
When Li Yunlong heard this, he quickly calculated in his mind that the price was quite reasonable, and it was even a small profit.
Replacing a 10mm howitzer with a fire-breathing tank is definitely not a loss.
But Li Yunlong was a little reluctant to exchange one 03mm heavy howitzer for three fire-breathing tanks.
In the battle of Miaoergou, a total of 0 10mm howitzers and 10 03mm heavy howitzers were obtained. The head of the headquarters had already sent a telegram to congratulate them on their fortune.
Although the head of the headquarters did not explicitly ask for it, Li Yunlong knew very well that he had to hand over half of these howitzers to the headquarters.
Therefore, in the end, the new regiment was able to receive 10 10mm howitzers and 03mm heavy howitzers.
At present, the new regiment already has 31 10mm howitzers, which is already the size of a heavy artillery regiment, but it is not equipped with even one 03mm heavy howitzer.
I don’t know where the next opportunity to earn 03mm heavy howitzers will be.
This time, only 10 fire-breathing tanks were replaced.
However, it is not enough. Not to mention the possible losses during the battle, the Japanese have built thickened bunkers and gun towers on the three roads. 10 fire-breathing tanks are not enough to attack the 10th Division.
I wonder if the head of the headquarters will agree to replace all the other 10 10mm heavy guns with fire-breathing tanks?
Li Yunlong only thought for a moment and knew that the head of the headquarters would definitely agree.
Now is the critical moment for the life and death of the New Regiment, the New Second Regiment and the Independent Regiment. What are 10 10mm howitzers? Does the head of the headquarters know the importance?
However, Li Yunlong cannot make the decision on his own, and needs to ask the headquarters for instructions.
Immediately, Li Yunlong looked at Wang Dehou and said: "Chief of Staff, please immediately prepare a telegram to explain the situation and apply to the headquarters to replace the 10 10mm howitzers that are to be handed over to the headquarters with 10 fire-breathing tanks until the battle is over.
Later, these 10 fire-breathing tanks were handed over to the headquarters together with 1 tank battalion."
The headquarters is in southeastern Shanxi, and now the new regiment is in northwest Shanxi, hundreds of kilometers apart.
It is obviously unrealistic to drive tanks from northwestern Shanxi to southeastern Shanxi, because they have to pass through a large area of Japanese defense zones.
Therefore, Li Yunlong has discussed with Chen Feng that Chen Feng can use large helicopters to transport all the tanks to be handed over to the headquarters to southeastern Shanxi.
"Yes!" Wang Dehou accepted the order and quickly drafted a telegram. After giving it to Li Yunlong to sign, he asked the telegraph operator to quickly send it to the headquarters.
About 0 minutes after the telegram was sent, the headquarters called back.
As Li Yunlong expected, the headquarters agreed to Li Yunlong's request, and judging from the time of the telegram, the head of the headquarters agreed directly without even thinking.
The head of the headquarters even said in a telegram that Li Yunlong could replace the 03mm heavy howitzer with a fire-breathing tank at his discretion.
Although he guessed what the head of the headquarters was thinking, Li Yunlong felt slightly relieved after reading the contents of the telegram sent by the headquarters.
He looked at Chen Feng and said decisively: "Advisor Chen, I have decided to replace 0 10mm howitzers and 03mm heavy howitzers with fire-breathing tanks!"
If you want to play, go big. This time Li Yunlong decided to change to 6 fire-breathing tanks.
Although he had never seen a fire-breathing tank, and even Boss Chen did not provide data on the fire-breathing tank, Li Yunlong still chose to believe Boss Chen unconditionally.
After replacing the 03mm heavy howitzers with 6 fire-breathing tanks, there are still a total of 8 heavy howitzers. In this way, the headquarters and the new regiment each still have 4.
"No problem!" Chen Feng smiled slightly, "I will arrange for door-to-door delivery."
