The next day, Boss Chen came to Dagu Town again and discussed some details about airport repair and delivery with Li Yunlong, Ding Wei and Kong Jie.
After the discussion is completed,
Ding Wei and Kong Jie, who stayed in the new regiment, returned to their respective bases.
Don't think about the 203mm heavy howitzer for the time being.
According to the business provided by Boss Chen, you must destroy the Japanese artillery of 200 mm or above, or kill Japanese Army officers with the rank of major general or above to obtain it.
If you kill a major general, you can get 4 203mm heavy howitzers and an opportunity for air support.
Kill a lieutenant general and you can get 12 203mm heavy howitzers.
Kill a general and you can get 24 203mm heavy howitzers.
As for the price of killing Tojo Aiji and Locust, Boss Chen did not say, but Ding Wei and Kong Jie knew that it should not be measured by the 203mm heavy howitzer.
That would probably include national strategic weapons such as warships, aircraft carriers, fighter jets, and bombers.
With Ding Wei and Kong Jie's cognitive thinking, they can only think of this level at present, but they cannot be blamed for this. They still don't know what Mo Guyun is, and even Li Yunlong doesn't know.
Although you can't earn 203mm howitzers for the time being, you can earn 150mm howitzers, and there are still 8 of them, one of which was given to Li Yunlong.
Even if the brigade commander asked to hand over 4 gates, then the Independent Regiment and the New Second Regiment would each still have 4 gates left.
The power of the 150mm howitzer is not comparable to that of the 105mm howitzer and the 75mm howitzer. Even with 4 guns, the combat effectiveness of the New Second Regiment and the Independent Regiment is greatly enhanced.
Because whether it is attacking or defending, the 150mm howitzer can move sideways.
The 150mm howitzer was almost only equipped by heavy artillery regiments and some Class A divisions in the Japanese army.
In a few months, when the roads in the three base areas are completed, Ding Wei, Kong Jie and Li Yunlong will be able to drive jeeps or tricycles to each other's base areas.
The distance of about 100 kilometers can only be reached in three or four hours even if you drive slower, such as 30 kilometers per hour.
It will be much more convenient then.
Although the Japanese damaged some roads after entering the base area, the roadbed is still there, so it is not a problem to repair the damaged roads.
Moreover, Ding Weihe had a large amount of grain in his hands. Food was a hard currency in this era, and he could recruit a large number of people to build roads at any time.
Li Yunlong, Ding Wei and Kong Jie decided that the roads in the three base areas must be opened this winter.
Ding Wei and Kong Jie were sent away.
Li Yunlong returned to the headquarters of the new regiment in Dagu Town.
Then, he took out a map from his chest and stared at the map to study and ponder while eating melon seeds.
Eyes narrowed slightly.
Boss Chen will deliver the reimbursement for weapons and ammunition as soon as possible. As for the business share, he will have to wait until the airport is rebuilt before delivering the goods.
Zhao Gang and Deputy Commander Xing happened to walk into the inner room of the regiment headquarters and saw Li Yunlong staring at the map.
Deputy Commander Xing just returned from the field hospital in Lijia Town.
At present, the New Regiment has a total of 2 field hospitals, namely the 1st Field Hospital and the 2nd Field Hospital of the New Regiment.
They are stationed at two strongholds in Lijia Town and Dagu Town.
As for the three county towns of Ping'an, Heyuan and Anhua, only a small number of troops from the New Regiment are stationed. The county towns have never been the focus of the Eighth Route Army's defense, even if the New Regiment is now well-equipped and has strong combat effectiveness.
Regarding this point, Li Yunlong resolutely implemented the highest directive, that is, if people lose their land, both people and land will be saved.
On the other hand, the defensive power of the county wall is far inferior to tunnels and reverse slope tactics.
What's more, Li Yunlong was eager for the Japanese to send troops to garrison these three county towns. It would be better to send Japanese and puppet troops to garrison those thickened bunkers and gun towers.
In this way, a new batch of leeks can be harvested.
Wang Dehou even sent militiamen and ordinary people who had nothing to do to clear away the burned or beaten corpses of the Japanese in thickened gun towers and bunkers.
To make it easier for the Japanese and puppet troops to move in with their guns.
Zhao Gang, on the other hand, went around each battalion and directly affiliated company, feeling the bottom of each unit to see if the soldiers' hearts were affected by this battle.
Contrary to Zhao Gang's expectation, the morale of the soldiers increased instead of decreasing, and their enthusiasm for training became even higher.
"I knew you couldn't stay idle." Zhao Gang looked at the map and smiled slightly, "Where are you going to make a fortune this time?"
"Political Commissar Zhao, you don't know something." Xing Zhiguo said with a smile, "The regiment leader's habit started when he was a squad leader during the Red Army. He fell asleep while standing and sitting, thinking about how to make a fortune."
Li Yunlong glanced at Zhao Gang and Xing Zhiguo, and said with a smile: "Within a hundred kilometers of our new group, Datong is the only one where the Japanese are stationed. Datong, like Yangquan, is a military stronghold of the Japanese. The price of capturing Datong is higher than that of ordinary people."
Three times the size of the county seat.”
"The Japs have just carried out a large-scale raid on our base area in northwestern Shanxi. We have captured the enemy's Datong with a backhand. I think this is a good idea!"
Zhao Gang nodded, with a bit of sternness in his eyes and expression.
Although the losses of the Japanese and puppet troops this time were four times that of the Eighth Route Army in Northwestern Shanxi, the three regiments in Northwestern Shanxi suffered a total of more than 150,000 casualties.
Many outstanding soldiers and commanders died, and even the entire seventh company of the first battalion died.
Although there will definitely be casualties in a war, especially in such a battle, the casualties will be greater, but it would be a lie to say that Zhao Gang does not feel sorry for these soldiers.
Even though Zhao Gang is just a scholar, he is no less ruthless than Li Yunlong.
Able in literature and martial arts.
Xing Zhiguo also said: "According to Boss Chen's information, the combat materials prepared by the Japanese army this time can almost support five Japanese divisions and 20,000 puppet troops for a month."
"Most of the combat materials are stored in Taiyuan, and a small amount of materials are stored in Datong."
"The Japanese army only retreated after more than half a month of mopping up and attacking. Then Datong should still have combat supplies to support the Japanese 23rd and 25th Divisions and thousands of puppet troops for half a month."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "If we really want to fight, we may have to move faster."
"Maybe one day the Japanese will transport away the war supplies stored in Datong."
Hearing this, Li Yunlong looked thoughtful, then nodded and said: "What Lao Xing said makes sense. Let's send the Sword Squadron out to Datong to inquire about intelligence and figure out the Japanese troops and defense arrangements in Datong, and at the same time destroy
Drop the rails and make it impossible for the Japanese troops to pass."
Stationed in Datong, in addition to the remnants of the 3rd Brigade, there is also the 11th Independent Infantry Regiment of the Mongolian Army.
It is necessary to find out in advance whether the 11th Independent Infantry Regiment has returned to Inner Mongolia.
This involves the designation of the next battle plan.
Zhao Gang worriedly said: "If the Sword Squadron is allowed to destroy the railway, will it alert the enemy?"
"Then let the Sword Squadron do the work a little rougher." Li Yunlong said, "Just do the work like the guerrillas."
During the battle at Miaoergou, a long section of the Japanese railroad track was blown up. The road bed, sleepers and rails were all blown up. It took more than ten days to repair it. Li Yunlong estimated that it was repaired only recently.
When guerrillas destroy railways, they usually use a little explosive to blow up a section of railway track, which is easy to imitate.
If the Sword Squadron takes action, it will either blow up an important bridge on the Japanese Railway, or at least derail one of the trains.
"Okay!" Zhao Gang nodded.
"Tiger!"
Li Yunlong shouted toward the door.
"arrive!"
Guard Huang Erhu ran in quickly from outside, stood at attention, straightened his body, and responded loudly.
Li Yunlong said: "Immediately ask Duan Peng, the captain of Lijian Squadron, to come to the regiment headquarters to see me."
"yes!"
Huang Erhu turned and left.
About 20 minutes later, Duan Peng, who was wearing a camouflage helmet, a customized desert camouflage combat uniform and combat boots, had a grenade on his shoulder, a pistol holster on his waist, a dagger in the holster on his leg, and a dagger on his chest.
Walking quickly into the regiment headquarters with 3 submachine guns hanging.
As soon as he saw Duan Peng dressed like this, Li Yunlong knew that this kid must have just come off the training ground.
As soon as he entered the regiment headquarters, Duan Peng gave a military salute: "Regiment leader, political commissar, deputy commander, Duan Peng are here to report!"
Seeing Duan Peng's outfit, Li Yunlong, Zhao Gang and Xing Zhiguo all looked extremely satisfied.
Needless to say, this special combat uniform looks quite handsome.
