Chapter 945 Japanese military intelligence and new business!
"Old Li, when you first crossed the Yellow River eastward, did you ever think that our new regiment would have the equipment and strength we have now?"
At the new regiment training ground headquarters, Zhao Gang smiled slightly as he looked at the soldiers from each battalion who were armed to the teeth.
At present, the new regiment has a total of 108 battalions. Except for a few battalions such as the guard battalion, the rest of the battalions are regiment-sized, and even the infantry battalions are strengthened to the regiment size.
It looks like there are 108 battalions, but it is actually 108 regiments.
The combat effectiveness is countless times stronger than that of the more than 100 regiments in the Hundred Regiment War two years ago.
Moreover, the business of bombing Tokyo has been settled. In addition to the 10 ammunition base ammunition, each infantry battalion is also equipped with 12 75mm mountain guns.
Every day, Boss Chen's large transport planes and super helicopters bring in large amounts of food and ammunition.
However, the main receiving points are Dagu Town Airport in northwest Shanxi, Yangcun Airport in southeastern Shanxi, and Taiyuan Xincheng Airport.
Heyuan Airport, Changzhi Airport and Wusu Airport are mainly used for combat operations.
"I wouldn't even dream of it."
When Li Yunlong heard this, his face suddenly showed a look of reminiscence:
"After crossing the Yellow River, Chiang Kai-shek paid some military pay in the first two years, but that was to the three organized divisions."
"A new regiment like ours, which has no establishment, that is, a basic regiment, has to earn its own food, drink, food and salary."
"My regiment is pretty good. At least the comrades can still eat well, and occasionally there is some meat."
"The days of the other basic regiments were extremely difficult. The soldiers did not have enough to eat and did not wear warm clothes. The men in their hands were even more miserable. Most of them were made in Hanyang with smooth rifling."
"Each regiment has a thousand soldiers and two to three hundred guns, and each gun can't hold more than five rounds of ammunition."
At that time, Zhao Gang was still studying in Yan'an. After graduating from the Anti-Japanese University, he was assigned to the New Regiment as a political commissar.
So I have only heard that it will be difficult, but I have not experienced how hard it is.
It was also a good time for Zhao Gang to arrive at Xinyi Tuan. By that time, Boss Chen had already done several businesses with Li Yunlong, and Xinyi Tuan had already begun to become wealthy.
At that time, Li Yunlong led the new regiment, which won a small victory during the Battle of Xinkou and captured several Japanese.
However, Li Yunlong personally killed those Japs and was punished, demoted one level to deputy commander.
Later, he was promoted to regimental commander after meritorious service, and it was not until the battle of Cangyunling in early 1940.
Xing Zhiguo on the side smiled and said: "Now our new regiment has more than 160,000 troops. The infantry is equipped with Type 56 semi-automatic rifles and submachine guns, which are both light and powerful. The weapons and ammunition reserves of the new regiment have also reached 15.
Cardinality.”
The base number of ammunition for the Type 56 semi-automatic rifle is 200 rounds, the base number for the Type 56 semi-automatic rifle is 300 rounds, and the base number for the Type 56 light machine gun is 500 rounds.
This means that each infantryman has at least 3,000 rounds of ammunition in reserve.
Greatly improve the logistics reserve strength of the new regiment.
After the 5,000 troops of the 358th Regiment of the Jinsui Army joined the new regiment, the total strength of the new regiment has reached 160,000.
This does not include the logistics troops and the militia within the jurisdiction of the New Regiment.
Chu Yunfei on the side couldn't help but smile.
Now his independent brigade has been completely reorganized and equipped with all American equipment.
Semi-automatic rifles, M3 submachine guns, M2 large-caliber heavy machine guns, super bazookas, M2 flamethrowers, 20mm machine guns and mortars are all equipped.
Twelve 75mm mountain guns and six 105mm howitzers are also in place.
The ammunition is also at a base of 15, and coupled with the air support of the new regiment, Chu Yunfei is fully confident that he can defeat a full elite regiment of the Japanese army.
The equipment of the most elite troops of the national army cannot compare with today's independent brigade.
At this time, Chu Yunfei regretted not investing in Li Yunlong earlier.
The plane will definitely not be able to take his turn yet, but with how generous Li Yunlong is to his troops, Chu Yunfei's troops must have been equipped with American heavy artillery and tanks by now.
Next, everyone talked about some of the differences between the previous army and the current army.
Regardless of the size of the troops, weapons and equipment, and the combat quality of the troops, the entire Eighth Route Army, including the New Regiment, has undergone earth-shaking changes.
Chu Yunfei was born in the fifth phase of the Huangpu College and put forward some constructive suggestions in some aspects.
At this moment, guard battalion commander Liu Dali walked into the headquarters carrying a box, saluted Li Yunlong with a military salute and reported: "Commander, boss Chen just sent the information sent by Yan Shuangying."
"Where are the others?"
Li Yunlong took the box and asked.
"He has gone back."
Liu Dali replied.
Li Yunlong nodded. With Yan Shuangying's skill and marksmanship, even if he encountered the Yamamoto Secret Service in its heyday, he could escape unscathed without worrying about safety issues.
So, Li Yunlong took the box, covered it with his right hand, and entered the password with his left hand.
snap——
As the password is entered correctly, the password box makes a crisp sound and automatically pops open.
This was the first time Chu Yunfei saw this thing, and a look of curiosity suddenly appeared on his face, thinking that Brother Yunlong's boxes were all so high-end.
The boss Chen mentioned by the guard battalion commander must be the aid channel behind Li Yunlong.
Chu Yunfei has long admired this mysterious boss Chen, but has never had the chance to meet him.
Liu Dali turned around and left, and Li Yunlong picked up the intelligence information in the box and read it.
Wang Dehou introduced to Chu Yunfei: "Deputy Commander Chu, this is Boss Chen's password box. Only our commander knows the password. It contains the latest intelligence information or new business about the Japanese army. Enter the wrong password three times, or use
If it is forcibly broken open by external force, the intelligence information inside will be automatically destroyed by the agency. For small business and general intelligence information, Boss Chen will not come in person, so he arranges for bodyguards to put the information in a lock box and deliver it."
"I see."
A look of surprise suddenly appeared on Chu Yunfei's face.
As the core senior figure of the New Regiment, Chu Yunfei naturally knew that Li Yunlong could obtain various equipment from Boss Chen as long as he fought against the Japanese.
Keep fighting, keep fighting.
"This box is really a good thing."
Chu Yunfei's tone was filled with emotion.
"Boss Chen sent the latest information!"
Li Yunlong looked happy, glanced at everyone, and announced the latest information from Boss Chen:
"The Japanese base camp will be used by the Japanese North China Front to mobilize the strength of eight infantry divisions and one flying division, and to supplement the strength of several divisions that have been disabled."
Although the strength of the Japanese army's 8 infantry divisions and 1 infantry division is not yet in place.
But Boss Chen has already sent relevant intelligence materials to Li Yunlong first.
Lay the groundwork for the next big business.
Wang Dehou: "Great!"
Xing Zhiguo: "It seems that our Eighth Route Army is going to get rich again!"
Zhao Gang analyzed: "It should be that our bombing of Japan and the sinking of the aircraft carrier Xianghe stimulated the Japanese, so the Japanese spared no effort to reinforce the North China Front, but this is a good thing for us."
"Even if the Japanese army adds 8 infantry divisions and 1 flying division to supplement the disabled divisions, the total strength of the entire front army will not exceed 250,000."
"I think with the strength of the three regiments in northwest Shanxi, we can defeat the North China Front."
"Our Eighth Route Army is indeed going to get rich again."
In the last Battle of Shotai, the Eighth Route Army wiped out 130,000 Japanese troops, which was already a huge fortune.
Now the enemy's military strength has greatly increased, with a total strength of more than 200,000. Wouldn't this mean they would make a fortune?
Although Chu Yunfei on the side did not speak, Brother Yunfei saw the discussion between Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang.
If this was the headquarters of the Second Theater Command, and had received information that the Japanese army in North China had increased its troops by 8 divisions and 1 flying division, it would have already been discussing running away.
8 divisions and 1 flying division can easily defeat the entire Jinsui Army.
Unlike Li Yunlong, Zhao Gang and the others, not only did they not look solemn, but they were gearing up and eager to try.
From these days I came into contact with a new regiment of troops.
Chu Yunfei also discovered the difference in this unit. From the regiment leader Li Yunlong to the ordinary soldiers and cooks, they all had a strong morale that dared to use their swords.
Are other troops afraid of Japanese soldiers?
When the troops of the new regiment saw the Japanese, they were eager to rush forward in a swarm to snatch their heads.
However, Chu Yunfei liked this atmosphere very much.
"A flying regiment?"
Wang Dehou said with disdain:
"The Japanese still dare to send aviation troops to North China? Aren't they here to deliver food?"
With Boss Chen's terrifying intelligence capabilities, he would definitely provide Li Yunlong with relevant information before the Japanese aviation force arrives.
Judging from various signs, Wang Dehou and Xing Zhiguo even discussed privately whether Boss Chen had also planted super spies and super agents in the Japanese base camp?
Now the Eighth Route Army's air force has reached the size of a pilot division.
Coupled with the intelligence provided by Boss Chen, and judging from the aviation unit that defeated the Japanese army in Central China, it would not be difficult to defeat this Japanese flying division even without Boss Chen's intelligence.
"Boss Chen's information said that the Japanese are planning to locate the airfield of this pilot regiment in the Shenyang area outside the customs."
Li Yunlong said after reading the information.
Chu Yunfei immediately lay down on the map and used a scale to measure the distance from Shenyang to Taiyuan: "The straight line from Taiyuan to Shenyang is 1,000 kilometers. Our fighter jets are not easy to launch air strikes."
Wang Dehou also analyzed and said: "The Kwantung Army's aviation unit is not weak."
Li Yunlong's eyes flashed slightly.
Even if Boss Chen provided the accurate time when the Japanese North China Front Army Flying Division arrived in Shenyang, the distance would indeed make it difficult to capture the enemy.
This will bring some troubles to the upcoming large-scale offensive operation.
A flying division has at least 100 aircraft. Although it is far away from Shanxi, it can provide air support to support the Japanese army's operations in Eastern Mongolia and North China's Pingjin area.
It can also effectively prevent effective attacks by the Eighth Route Army Air Force.
Li Yunlong continued to look at the next piece of intelligence information. Other information was mainly about the eight divisions of the Japanese army, including the division commanders, chiefs of staff and wing leaders, their troop strength and weapons configuration, and their past achievements were quite detailed.
"There's a new business."
After seeing the last piece of intelligence information, Li Yunlong said with a change of expression.
