Regarding Guo Bingxun's idea and construction, Yang Zhen hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded. He personally drafted a telegram to the two veteran commanders of the Advance Army, and transferred three million rounds of ammunition from the Advance Army to the Taihang Military Region first. This part of the gap left is filled by anti-association methods. The German-made weapons in stock, plus 400 self-made submachine guns drawn from the Anti-Japanese Union, were also transported to Datong by plane.

As for Guo Bingxun's other constructions, Yang Zhen still didn't nod in the end. At present, it is mainly to solve the requirements put forward by the boss first. As for the allocation of other weapons and the issue of changing the outfit of the internal units of the Guan, it is better to wait until the campaign is completed and see the results of the capture before making a decision, and there is no hurry in this matter.

After receiving Yang Zhen's telegram, there were also two veteran commanders who were also the commander of the Taihang Military Region and the 129th Division, as well as the commander and political commissar of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region, and there would be no ambiguity. Five million rounds of ammunition were immediately drawn from the rear reserves and rushed to Datong.

In fact, they also received a telegram from the boss, and the commander's heart has been hanging for the remaining troops. The half-year-long sweep launched by the Japanese army last year, as well as the brutal winter sweep, made the two old commanders very worried about the troops left behind in the pass. This time, the Japanese army launched a sweep of the Taihang District, which made the two old commanders even more worried.

Even if Yang Zhen did not send this telegram, the two veteran commanders had already decided to transfer a group of capable armed forces from the Advance Army and secretly return to the Taihang base area from southwest Chaxi through northeast Shanxi to cooperate with the Taihang Military Region's anti-sweeping operation. After receiving Yang Zhen's telegram, the two old commanders would not hesitate. Yang Zhen wanted to transfer three million rounds of ammunition, and the two old commanders directly transferred half of the rear reserves.

At the same time, in order to prevent the Japanese army from taking similar actions against Jinchaji, the two veteran commanders transferred 150,000 rounds of 79 ammunition from the front-line combat units. Among the captured trophies, 40 light and heavy machine guns, as well as 1,500 Type 38 rifles, 300,000 rounds of 65 bullets, and 100,000 rounds of 77-caliber machine gun ammunition were dispatched, and a unit was sent to escort and hand over to the troops in Beiyue District by taking advantage of the fact that the Japanese army was currently only in control of the county town and was attracted by the Anti-Japanese Union.

In Datong, Chen Hanzhang and the boss who had already rushed to northern Jin to sit in the town studied the method of escorting and transferring artillery to the Taihang Military Region to fight. Artillery is not infantry, and it takes a lot of brains to escort these big guys and pass through large areas of enemy-occupied territory.

After receiving Yang Zhen's telegram, although he didn't know what method No. 1 used to make up for the firepower gap caused by his own deployment of a large number of artillery, Chen Hanzhang still carried out the order to the letter as soon as possible. According to the order, Chen Hanzhang withdrew all of his two Type 94 mountain artillery battalions from the front line to carry out equipment overhaul and replenishment of artillery shells.

From all the units participating in the battle, according to the strength of the regimental artillery, each regiment drew one 120-millimeter heavy mortar, two 82 mortars, and mobilized a batch of mortars. Two fully formed companies were transferred from the 107th Rocket Artillery Battalion, which belonged to several divisions.

The key is that the problem of equipment is easy to solve, but the method of escorting to the Taihang area is very difficult. Those 60 guns and bullets, grenades and mines can be sent to Taihang Mountain with light transport planes with short take-off and landing distances and simple runways. But mountain artillery and heavy mortars, such big guys are a headache.

Neither the boss nor Chen Hanzhang agreed with Yang Zhen's dispatch of so many troops to escort him. These 94 mountain cannons could be disassembled into eleven pieces and carried on horses. And it is possible to use light aircraft, which can be transported by air. If too many troops are dispatched to escort them, it will not only weaken the anti-Japanese alliance's own mobile combat capability, but also make it easier to be exposed because the target of the operation is too large.

After research, Chen Hanzhang still decided to disassemble all the mountain guns, and seven of them were transported by air. The remaining seventeen gates, all but two of which were drawn by horses and ready for battle, were all disassembled and transported by horses. Except for a platoon of 60 artillery guns ready for battle at any time, the rest of the mortars were also transported by horses.

A cavalry battalion, a tank company, two infantry companies, and a small regiment of the Beiyue army were transferred to form an escort detachment, which was commanded by Su Yingqi, who had just withdrawn to Datong, to penetrate along the highway to the south. In Jinchaji, the deputy commander-in-chief gave orders to the various military divisions along the way one by one, covering the safe passage of this batch of artillery and artillery through the Zhengtai Railway at any cost.

At the same time, Mu Changqiu commanded a reinforced division to launch an attack on the front line of Hunyuan, Guangling, and Lingqiu, attracting the attention of the Japanese army, and covering these artillery to take advantage of the gap between the Japanese army and the various units to transport this batch of artillery and a large number of gas masks, medicines and other materials drawn from his own troops to the Taihang base area.

After explaining the task to Su Yingqi, Chen Hanzhang also secretly gave Su Yingqi a complete anti-chemical warfare company, 120 captured Japanese poison gas smoke canisters, as well as a mustard gas spreading truck, 200 pieces of diphenylcyanide arsine gas shells used in the Type 94 mountain artillery, 100 mustard gas shells, plus a batch of anti-poison equipment and medicines. All the horses were also issued with special gas masks for horses captured from the Taiyuan warehouse of the Japanese army.

Tell him that once he is intercepted by the Japanese army, he will use poison gas shells to open the way. The Japanese army itself attaches great importance to protection, and these poison gas shells may not play much role, but they can cause some confusion to the Japanese army. Give him a breakthrough and create a fighter plane. But for the time being, don't let the brother troops in the pass know about this matter, so as not to cause some unnecessary trouble.

After hesitating for a moment, Chen Hanzhang still clearly told Su Yingqi. This time, he escorted the artillery to the Taihang base area, but before the end of the Japanese sweep, a safe return may not be possible. Chen Hanzhang told Su Yingqi that he should be prepared to stay in Taihang and insist.

If the BT fast tanks of that company were cut off from fuel, they would all be completely blown up. Don't have any distress, one qiē to protect their own safety is the most important. No matter what problems arise on the road, he Su Yingqi must ensure that these gas masks, as well as artillery and artillery, will be safely delivered to the Taihang base area.

The two main regiments of the Taihang Military Region were already south of Zhengtai Road and were ready to meet them. But in the northeast of Jin, they can only rely on themselves. Beiyue District and several sub-districts of Jinchaji operating north of Zhengtai Road will play a certain role in cooperation. But along the way, they mainly rely on themselves.

The reason why Su Yingqi was chosen was because he was a cadre drawn from Guannai. With rich experience in guerrilla warfare, there are not only many old comrades-in-arms among the troops in the Guannai, but there should not be any major problems in cooperation. In addition, during his several years of guerrilla career in the local units, he developed a fairly strong independent combat capability.

The survivability alone even surpasses that of ordinary anti-United Nations military cadres. Even if the retreat route is cut off, he has to stay in the Taihang District and insist, relying on his own ability, he can also ensure the safety of the troops. After receiving Yang Zhen's telegram, the first person Chen Hanzhang thought of to carry out the escort mission was Su Yingqi.

After receiving the order, Su Yingqi was somewhat hesitant. But for him, an order is an order, and there is no room for bargaining. It's just that he was very curious about why his superiors did not assign Yang Jicai, the bold guy, to be responsible for this operation, but only named him to act alone.

If this operation is in charge of Yang Jicai's guy, with the endless bizarre ideas in his mind, the implementation of the plan will definitely be much smoother. But Chen Hanzhang just told Su Yingqi that Yang Jicai had a more important task. Yang Jicai was unable to participate in this operation, and all the commands could only rely on himself.

Su Yingqi's old army had already suffered more than half of the casualties on the Kangbao battlefield. The newly taken over regiment, plus the remnants of his old army, was basically wiped out under the city of Taiyuan. At this time, the remaining backbone of the troops under his command had already returned to the northeast with the logistics supply vehicle after returning to Datong, and was ready to be reorganized as a shelf unit.

Su Yingqi, who was left by Chen Hanzhang in the Western Cluster Command and temporarily served as a regimental staff officer, no longer had any troops in his hands at the moment, except for one of his own guards. Under the situation of relatively tight troops, Chen Hanzhang did not choose other troops, and directly transferred two companies from the guard battalion of his headquarters to Su Yingqi to serve as the main force in the southward interspersed operation.

As for the troops cooperated with Beiyue District, they were also personally selected by the boss. The former political commissar had already died in last year's anti-sweeping operation. When the new political commissar was still not in place, the boss personally talked to the head of the regiment. Let him obey Su Yingqi's command when he acts.

Although the two belong to different units, both of them are regimental commanders. Although whether it is the Anti-Japanese Federation or the troops in the Guannai, they have always paid attention to being able to go up and down. But after all, everyone is a leader of the troops, and they are all arrogant lords. Everyone has the same position, why do you command Lao Tzu?

The escort this time has strong coordination ability of infantry and artillery of the troops drawn out by the Anti-United Nations, and has been trained in ground-to-air firepower coordination. The troops in Beiyue District are familiar with the terrain and people's conditions, and are proficient in guerrilla tactics. This regiment is also the top regiment in Beiyue District. The two armies cooperated well, and this escort mission achieved twice the result with half the effort. If the coordination is not good, it is easy to delay the big thing.

But here's the problem, the two regiment commanders are arrogant and arrogant in their own troops. At this time, it is assigned to others, and it is still the command of cadres at the same level. Whether this temper and personality can be pinched together, the boss and Chen Hanzhang are a little worried.

Therefore, the boss personally talked to the regiment commander selected by him, just to avoid the problems that had arisen in the cooperation between the Jinsui troops and the Anti-Japanese Federation before. The Jinsui troops on the battlefield in northern Jin were basically responsible for second-line operations, and they did not cooperate well with each other, and it was not easy to delay any major events. But this time to escort the artillery to Taihang, once the cooperation is not good, it will really be a big problem.

In fact, the boss is a little worried. This regiment commander is Su Yingqi's old comrade-in-arms in the Fourth Front Army, and he is still the soldier he brought out when he was the squad leader. His temper is not like his, and he doesn't care about it at first. In addition, during the Long March, the troops that followed him were merged into the First Army Corps, and did not participate in the Western Expedition.

At the beginning of the Anti-Japanese War, when the 115th Division was divided, he stayed in Jinchaji with the political commissar of the advance army. With the development and expansion of the troops, military cadres like him have naturally been promoted very quickly. Su Yingqi has never mentioned it, the reason is that it is his own body, but he can't complain about others.

Although before Su Yingqi was transferred to the Northeast, this regiment commander was already higher than Su Yingqi in terms of position, and actually became his superior. But at this time, the feelings of fighting together between comrades-in-arms were not drunk on the wine table in later generations. Everyone is fighting together with their heads, and the old squad leader will always be the old squad leader.

At this time, the cadres did not attach as much importance to their official position as the people of later generations, and they could not go up or down. can also go up and down, and obeying orders is always the first. Not to mention letting his former old squad leader command, even if someone else is in command, it is the same.
