New regiment, Xingjia Village.

"Commander, are you taking the warehouse of the independent regiment?"

"Or has Head Li been removed from his post again?"

Cheng He looked at the transport team brought by Ding Wei, and the piles of weapons and ammunition on the carriage made him dumbfounded.

Three hundred soldiers of the new regiment, each with a wooden ammunition box on their shoulders, judging from the tense posture of the soldiers, this box is definitely heavy goods, the brand new and familiar walnut ammunition box, don't think too much, this must be the kind of sophisticated weapons and ammunition of the independent regiment.

There were also thirty carts, neatly stacked walnut ammunition boxes, wooden wheels creaking with crushing content, apparently full of ammunition.

The most incredible thing is the middle few carriages.

The first, a Type 92 infantry gun, was assembled and placed directly on the wagon, and the two-wheeled ammunition transporter was towed behind, on which were loaded with shells. Looking at the number of shells, I'm afraid it's nearly a hundred.

There are also a few cars in the back, and outside the two wooden boxes, much larger than ordinary ammunition boxes, there are several Chinese characters written - 82 mortars. Outside the small box stacked together, there is also a sign - 82 mortar anti-personnel grenades. A rough estimate of this shell is no less than 500 rounds.

With such a large number of weapons, the regiment commander himself transported them, there is only one possibility, these are from Li Yunlong's independent regiment. It is impossible for the headquarters to allocate so much to the new regiment.

At the beginning, with Li Yunlong's character, so many weapons and ammunition, unless...

"Hahaha..."

Ding Wei was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then laughed: "These weapons and ammunition, but I earned them from Li Yunlong, not the family property of Grand Master Li. ”

"Earned it yourself?"

Chenghe was stunned.

How do you earn this?

And where did you earn it from the iron rooster Li Yunlong?

Ding Wei did not answer this doubt, but directly issued an order for the whole army to set off: "Notify the troops to assemble, the whole army will set off, this time, our goal is to surpass the Liao region." ”

"Yes."

Chenghe responded loudly.

The new regiment has been in a state of emergency combat readiness recently, and it only takes half an hour for all the troops to be assembled.

Ding Wei called Chenghe, who was preparing to gather the troops:

"Also, call the reserve militia battalion, and they will come with us this time."

The reserve militia battalion, the reserve unit formed by Ding Wei after he arrived in the new regiment, the main body of which is the militia who strongly want to join the army, and the purpose of forming it is to replenish the soldiers who have lost at any time.

The militia battalion conducts the same training program as the regular troops, but the intensity is slightly weaker, but because of the lack of weapons and guns, most of the soldiers in the militia battalion are armed with broadswords and spears.

"Militia battalion, they don't have weapons? What do you bring it for? ”

Chenghe didn't understand.

It has been more than three months since the militia battalion was formed, and after such a long period of training, the fighters in the battalion have good military capabilities, and they can be directly replenished to the three main battalions, but even so, without weapons and equipment, it is useless to take them out.

Could it be that with the army to replenish the attrition, the new recruits pick up the weapons of the fallen veterans?

This battle is so fierce?

"This time, I brought 300 38 big covers and 50 Czech machine guns from the independent regiment, and you sent all of them to the three main battalions, and then gave a batch of weapons and equipment of relatively poor quality to the militia battalion, which was temporarily organized into an independent battalion, and you commanded it."

"Let them participate in actual combat and sharpen and sharpen."

Ding Wei was very relieved of Chenghe's ability, and directly threw it to him as the commander of the two battalions.

"Yes!"

Chenghe nodded.

···

"Nani?"

"An attack on the Yuliao region? Requesting support? ”

In a railway station, Yoshio Shinozuka was very surprised by the news he had just received.

If I'm not mistaken, this place...

"Map."

He hurriedly beckoned the staff officer to bring the map.

Spreading out the map of the garrison in Shanxi and looking at the deployment of the Yuliao region on the map, Yoshio Shinozuka was suddenly a little dumbfounded.

"How dare the Eighth Route Army attack here?"

The Yuliao area was originally a dense assembly area of the Eighth Route Army, where the mountains were dense and the terrain was dangerous, so it was also the key area of the cage operation in Shanxi. The North China Front sent troops to build a road here that stretched all the way to the core area of Yuliao, and built a dense group of artillery towers around it.

And!

"Are you sure it's a call for help?"

"This is the area where the Fourth Mixed Brigade is stationed!"

Yoshio Shinozuka suspected that the staff officer had made a mistake.

When was the Eighth Route Army already so arrogant?

Ate leopard gall?

Dare to attack a brigade station in the Empire? There are more than 5,000 imperial warriors stationed here. Even that Li Yunlong wouldn't dare to attack a brigade station, right?

"Hey."

The staff officer bowed his head side by side: "A telegram from Major General Ozawa in the Yuliao area: The guerrillas of the Eighth Route Army have launched an attack on the Yuliao Highway, and a large number of artillery towers have been broken by the enemy. ”

The staff officer read the telegram out of its original form.

"Yaga."

Yoshio Shinozuka was furious.

In the past few days, he has been very bad.

The Shanxi region is also a high-risk area of the Eighth Route Army, and the railways around him have almost been destroyed, only one is still barely open to traffic, and all the others have been destroyed and uprooted.

In order to build these railways, he tried his best to mobilize materials from all over the country, and he begged his grandfather and grandmother in various voices, and finally raised the materials, but the Eighth Route Army began to make trouble again.

Won't these guys get tired?

It's been more than two months!

Can't you stop for a while?

Also, a brigade of yours, more than 5,000 imperial troops, was beaten by the Eighth Route Army and asked for help?

Rubbish!

"Order the 17th Wing to go to Yuliao to support, and the rest of the troops continue to be stationed to patrol the railway line."

Yoshio Shinozuka gritted his teeth, and the green tendons on his hand holding the katana were exposed.

Where is the outpost, it is a necessary area to erode the opponent's base area, and it must not be abandoned, otherwise the entire cage tactic will really be busy for half a year, and the road to the Liao must not be destroyed by the other side, otherwise the future attack on the opponent's base area will fall into supply difficulties and retreat.

But the railroad can't be relaxed, and the only one that survives today is because of the heavily armed railway patrols along the road. He relied on this railway for all his supplies!

In addition, a ton of gold in Taiyuan was also transported back to China by this railway to replenish the imperial treasury, which had dried up.

"Hey!"

The staff officer trembled and handed over the information before leaving the station.

In the military station, Yoshio Shinozuka breathed heavily, and after taking a few breaths of heavy breath, he opened the information, intending to see why a brigade was in a hurry to ask for help after only a few days.

Within the intelligence, several pieces of information jumped into the eyes of Yoshio Shinozuka.

The enemy appeared a small number of Type 92 infantry guns, with sufficient shells, which had great lethality to the turret pillboxes. In addition, there are a lot of new machine guns in the opposing troops, and the bullets are relatively sufficient...

"Li Yunlong..."

"And that one named Chen or something?"

Yoshio Shinozuka's teeth creaked.

···

The night was dark.

"Hahaha, Taiyuan..."

"I'm coming."

Outside a hidden mountain forest, only five kilometers away from Taiyuan City, Li Yunlong held a telescope and looked at Taiyuan City with the towering outline of stars and lights in the darkness in the distance, with a smile on his face.

Behind him, the special squad, the cavalry battalion of the independent regiment, the artillery company, and the newly formed fire company of 120 men all stood solemnly.

"It's still five hours before dawn, so let's camp on the spot and rest."

"Send a few people out and hurry up to make a batch of cotton bags, tens of thousands of silver dollars, this is a lot of money, including that ton of gold, we must not let go of a single one."

"Yes!"

Stimulated by gold and silver, the morale of the warriors was high.

"Hey, hey, hey······" Li Yunlong was satisfied with the attitude of the fighters.

"Iwamori."

Li Yunlong called the commander of the artillery company and advised: "Although you have traveled dozens of miles overnight, you still have to work a little harder, and take it to see the devil's airport by yourself. ”

"Good!"

Iwamori can be said to be in high spirits, and there is no fatigue at all.

Shelling the devil's airfield, he can't wait.
