Chapter 650: A business that the Japanese came to your door!
Northwest Shanxi.
Dagu Town.
The expansion plan and factory building plan of the new regiment are in full swing and proceeding in an orderly manner.
After winter, the weather in northwest Shanxi is very cold, and there is light snow falling in the sky.
New Regiment Headquarters.
Li Yunlong, Zhao Gang, Xing Zhiguo and Wang Dehou were sitting on the Kang table, eating peanuts.
The autumn grains of the people in the new regiment's defense area were not harmed by the Japanese.
In addition, Xinyi Regiment has sufficient food, so the people in the Xinyi Regiment defense area do not need to pay taxes at all, and the food produced by the people at home is enough to eat.
Zhao Gang picked up a stack of intelligence materials on the table and said first: "According to the information given by Boss Chen, the First Division of the Japanese Kwantung Army will be transferred from outside the customs to northwest Shanxi to deal with our new regiment."
"I came just in time." Li Yunlong said, "I am worried that I have no opponents to train new recruits. I hope that the combat effectiveness of this first division will not disappoint me."
At present, the first phase of recruitment for the new regiment has been completed.
A total of more than 8,000 new recruits were recruited. Most of these recruits were militiamen. In addition to the militiamen, there were also a few young men with good foundation and skills in shooting.
Although he is a militiaman and has some shooting experience, he has never participated in any decent battles.
Therefore, these militiamen are currently trained by the training camp. After a total of three months of intensive training for recruits, the recruits will be transferred to the newly formed infantry battalion.
At present, the framework for the formation of new infantry battalions and artillery battalions has been completed.
After all, new soldiers are new soldiers. Even after three months of training, they are still new soldiers.
If the new military camp wants to develop combat effectiveness, in addition to training, it must also strengthen ideological construction and practical combat experience.
Actual combat is the key to improving combat effectiveness.
When the New Regiment first arrived in northwestern Shanxi, the New Regiment expanded by tens of thousands.
Immediately afterwards, the new commander of the First Army, Yoshio Iwamatsu, sent the 36th Division led by Jingguan Ren to northwest Shanxi in an attempt to curb the development of the new regiment.
As soon as they arrived in northwestern Shanxi, the 36th Division received a blow and suffered a heavy loss in Dagu Town.
After that, Yoshio Iwamatsu ordered the 36th Division to build a large number of thickened reinforced concrete bunkers and gun towers, which gave the new regiment an opportunity to train new recruits.
The reason why the New Regiment was able to almost devour the 36th Division and defeat the 10th Division was because the new recruits accumulated practical experience in attacking thickened bunkers and gun towers.
And every soldier stabbed the Japanese corpse with a bayonet to overcome the fear of death.
after all.
For recruits who have never been on the battlefield, no matter how courageous they are and how good their training performance is, they are likely to be so scared that they wet their pants when they arrive on the battlefield.
Only by truly crossing the murderous hurdle can one complete the transformation from a recruit to a veteran.
"This 1st Division has come with bad intentions. Its combat effectiveness is much stronger than that of the 10th Division."
Xing Zhiguo narrowed his eyes and said while holding a page of information.
This intelligence information is as detailed as ever. Except for the specific time and whereabouts of the First Division entering the customs, it also includes detailed introductions to the strength of the First Division and officers above the rank of regimental commander.
Li Yunlong took the information from Xing Zhiguo and looked at it, then narrowed his eyes and said:
"The First Division has one heavy artillery brigade, two infantry brigades, four infantry regiments, the first field artillery regiment, and one cavalry, engineering and transportation regiment."
"The total strength is more than 30,000."
Later, Li Yunlong handed the information in his hand to Zhao Gang.
After looking at the information, Zhao Gang said: "The 5th Heavy Artillery Regiment and the 3rd Infantry Regiment of the First Division were completely wiped out by us in the battle of Miaoergou. I didn't expect the Japanese to replenish the First Division so quickly.
group."
"After all, the First Division is the face of the Japanese Army." Wang Dehou said with a slight smile, "The name of the First Division alone is quite deceiving, but I don't know what the combat effectiveness is like?"
"Judging from this information, it is stronger than the 10th Division."
"After all, the First Division has an extra 3rd Heavy Artillery Brigade compared to the 10th Division."
Speaking of this, Li Yunlong's eyes suddenly became a little hot.
The business provided by Boss Chen, if you kill a Japanese 240mm heavy cannon, you will get a 203mm heavy howitzer.
If you kill a 150mm cannon, you can also get a 150mm howitzer.
In other words, if one heavy artillery brigade of the Japanese is killed, the Eighth Route Army can expand its heavy artillery brigade.
Although the 5th Heavy Artillery Brigade and the 3rd Infantry Regiment were completely wiped out, the Japanese base camp quickly replenished the First Division.
A heavy artillery brigade has more than 50 cannons of 150 mm or more, plus a field artillery regiment of the 1st Division. The artillery firepower is several blocks ahead of the 10th Division.
Zhao Gang said: "The intelligence also said that the North China Front Army Headquarters may transfer an artillery regiment to the First Division to enhance the strength of the First Division."
"In this case," Wang Dehou pondered, "this first division will be equipped with two heavy artillery regiments and two artillery regiments?"
Xing Zhiguo said in a solemn tone: "The firepower of this artillery is a bit strong, and it has almost caught up with our artillery firepower."
Currently, the New Regiment has one heavy howitzer battalion, equipped with 24 B4 heavy howitzers; one heavy artillery battalion, equipped with 30 150mm howitzers; and two artillery battalions, equipped with more than 80 105mm and 75mm howitzers.
If the First Division had been strengthened during the war, the number of cannons above 75 mm would have been about the same on both sides.
Next, it depends on the combat level of the artillery on both sides.
but.
In terms of infantry artillery fire support and individual firepower, the new regiment still has the advantage, even if the first division is equipped with some hundreds of submachine guns.
Because the infantry battalions of the New Regiment are equipped with a large number of 60mm and 82mm mortars, as well as 20mm machine guns.
Originally, the 3rd Heavy Artillery Brigade of the Japanese Army was directly under the Kwantung Army.
However, due to the Guande exercise, the Kwantung Army was preparing to attack the Soviet Union, so the Kwantung Army transferred the 3rd Heavy Artillery Brigade to the 1st Division, hoping that the Soviet Army would have a taste of the powerful artillery fire of the Japanese Locust Army.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! In the end, the Japanese base camp gave up attacking the Soviet Union and turned to attack Southeast Asia.
Because Siberia has nothing but potatoes, while Southeast Asia has a large amount of strategic resources such as combat supplies and oil.
As the Eighth Route Army grew stronger in North China, it posed an increasing threat to the North China Front, and the Japanese base camp also wanted to destroy the Eighth Route Army.
However, the base camp now has no extra troops and combat materials, so it can only mobilize the First Division to deal with the Eighth Route Army.
As for the combat supplies of the First Division, they are still the combat supplies left in Taiyuan by the five Japanese divisions that attacked northwestern Shanxi.
"Damn it..." Li Yunlong looked fiercely: "According to this, this first division really has some strength. However, since this first division dares to come against our new regiment, then let's teach the first division
How can the Japanese in the division fight?"
Zhao Gang said with expectation: "Moreover, if we can defeat or severely damage the First Division, then we will definitely make a lot of money..."
In another time and space, the First Division did not achieve any dazzling results.
Mainly because after the Guan Te exercise, Japan and the Soviet Union signed a non-aggression pact, the Japanese army's strategy began to shift to the south, and the First Division was ordered to be transferred back to the mainland.
In 1944, part of the troops of the First Division were transferred to the Philippines to participate in the campaign. This part of the troops was very unlucky. As soon as they entered the battlefield, their supply lines were cut off by the US military.
But even without supplies, the Japs in this part of the First Division were still self-sufficient, and only about 800 people remained at the end of the war.
The 201st Division, which was organized as the local decisive action force, truly inherited the mantle of the 1st Division and was a real elite force.
The First Division currently arriving in northwest Shanxi is at its true peak combat effectiveness.
…
Shanxi.
Taiyuan.
Somewhere outside the city.
Yamamoto Special Agents inside the closed camp.
There is light snow falling in the sky, but the campground is in full swing.
The Japanese agents are training soldiers selected from various divisions.
These soldiers, wearing uniform Eighth Route Army uniforms, are undergoing training in assassination, shooting and hand-to-hand combat. There are about 300 of them.
This is not the first time Yamamoto Kazuki has engaged in an advance team.
After the original Masuko Advance Team and Okawa Advance Team were destroyed, Yamamoto Kazuki still refused to give up and took this opportunity to reorganize the advance team.
But sending special agents to assassinate Eighth Route Army soldiers and civilians made Yamamoto feel that it was not cost-effective to use cannons to kill mosquitoes.
The special agents were used to assassinate the Eighth Route Army headquarters and Li Yunlong.
These close team members are all elites carefully selected from the 33rd Division, 37th Division and 41st Division.
Compared to advance team members, special agent team members are naturally more valuable.
A total of 500 people participated in the training, and after a month there were only 300 left.
In the end, only 200 people were left, that is, two advancing teams.
The training of the advancing team is extremely difficult. The training volume is completely based on that of the special forces. So far, 200 people have been eliminated.
At this time, Kazuki Yamamoto walked over with a command saber on his shoulder, his sharp eyes piercing through all the Japanese advancing members at a glance.
He knew very well that quite a few of the advancing team members had the idea of giving up.
Isn't it good to stay in the army? Why do you have to come here and suffer this?
"gather!"
Seeing Yamamoto Kazuki approaching, the leader of the first combat team of the special agent team shouted loudly.
Under the orders of the instructors, more than 300 advancing team members rushed over to gather. Some team members were exhausted and had to be supported by the Japanese soldiers nearby to stand firm.
Yamamoto Kazuki held a major general sword in his hand and wore a major general uniform. Yamamoto spoke enthusiastically:
"You are the empire and the most loyal warriors of Locust!"
"You are also the most elite warriors of the First Army!"
"You are soldiers of the Japanese Locust Army. This war requires you to stand up!"
"You are members of Yamamoto's advancing troops!"
"The history of our First Army will be rewritten by you!"
"..."
As Yamamoto's tone and eyes became more inflammatory, the faces of the advancing team members gradually became crazy and ferocious.
Finally, Yamamoto raised the major general's sword in his hand and shouted slogans:
"Long live the locusts, long live the Japanese Empire!"
"Long live the locust!"
"Long live the Japanese Empire!"
The No. 300 advance team members also raised their hands high and followed Yamamoto Kazuki in shouting fanatical slogans. Their eyes and expressions were also extremely excited and fanatical.
Even the Japs who were exhausted just now stood up straight, raising their hands in the air and shouting loudly.
These were originally the elites of each division, soldiers with strong individual combat capabilities, long training, and brainwashing. They were loyal to Tian Locust wholeheartedly.
Under Yamamoto's fanatical slogans, the Japs became even more crazy.
Kazuki Yamamoto holds the rank of Major General and is good at deceiving people. Some old Japanese devils couldn't help but follow Yamamoto and shout loudly.
This month, these soldiers have been undergoing high-intensity training here, and deaths are common.
If Yamamoto Kazuki hadn't asked the instructor to lead these soldiers to understand the spirit of Bushido, many Japanese would have given up.
Because Yamamoto Kazuki adopts a voluntary principle, anyone who can't stand it can give up at any time.
Those who can pass the training are all elites. Although they are not as good as the special agents, they are not far behind.
"Keep training!"
After taking the lead in shouting the slogan, Yamamoto Kazuki said in a deep voice.
"Hi!"
The advancing team members lowered their heads suddenly, roaring loudly, and then started training again under the orders of the instructors.
However, at this time, the Japanese team members were very enthusiastic about training.
The team members were trained using a method invented by Kazuki Yamamoto himself.
This old devil has never given up promoting special operations.
…
Northwest Shanxi.
Independent group department entrance.
Ding Wei handed the reins to the guard and walked quickly inside, shouting as he walked: "Lao Kong, Lao Kong!"
Since the Independent Regiment and the New Second Regiment were not yet open to traffic, Ding Wei came over on horseback.
"Hahaha, Lao Ding!"
Kong Jie came out of the inner room of the regiment headquarters with a smile on his face. The two brothers first gave each other a military salute, and then hugged each other warmly.
"Old Ding, please!"
Then Kong Jie made a gesture of invitation.
The two brothers walked into the independent regiment headquarters together.
After doing a business with Xinyi Tuan, both Ding Wei and Kong Jie made a small fortune.
With four 150mm howitzers, four 37mm anti-aircraft guns, hundreds of submachine guns, and thousands of tons of food in hand, Ding Wei and Kong Jie's lives were very comfortable.
The New Second Regiment and the Independent Regiment, like the New First Regiment, have been expanding like crazy recently after receiving weapons and ammunition for reimbursement and business.
This time, Ding Wei and Kong Jie received a telegram from Li Yunlong at the same time, a business offer from the Japanese.
Ding Wei and Kong Jie exchanged telegrams quickly, so Kong Jie invited Ding Wei to the Independent Group to discuss countermeasures, and that was how the scene just happened.
"Old Ding..."
"I heard that boy Li Yunlong made a fortune again?"
As soon as the two sat down, Kong Jie couldn't wait to ask.
The clear coded telegram sent by Li Yunlong was also received by the telegraph machines of the New Second Regiment and the Independent Regiment, so they knew that Li Yunlong had killed another Japanese observation group, including a Japanese lieutenant general and two major generals.
But I don’t know how much I earned.
"That's right!" Ding Wei learned more about the inside story and said, "I heard that this guy Li Yunlong earned 32 B4 heavy howitzers."
"What did you say? 32 heavy howitzers?" Upon hearing this, Uncle Kong took a deep breath, his eyes widened, and his eyeballs almost fell off.
