Chapter Ninety-Five: Heavy Troops Are Coming, Let the Devils Waste Some Cannonballs First
(Yesterday's chapter was wrong, it should be chapter ninety-four)
"Mobilize troops from the Kwantung Army and the Mongolian Army."
Yamamoto was surprised.
Although the empire mobilized many main divisions to Southeast Asia, with the acceleration of the formation of new divisions in China, the total strength of the garrison of the Republic of China did not decline much, that is, after the permanent divisions were transferred, the combat effectiveness declined seriously.
Even the second-line and even third-line divisions still have an absolute advantage in frontal combat compared to the Eighth Route Army, which is not even equipped with guns.
At this time, the North China Front Army had relatively sufficient troops, and for the sake of this large-scale sweep against the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei base area, it even mobilized troops from other front armies.
What is the total scale of this sweep?
"Recently, the strength of the guerrillas around Shanxi has grown rapidly."
Yoshio Shinozuka continued:
"It's not just mysterious aid from abroad."
"They themselves have formed a well-established arsenal that can manufacture all kinds of light weapons, and they have also solved the problem of raw materials for explosives, producing high-quality explosives..."
"If they continue to be allowed to develop, the law and order in the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei region will deteriorate greatly."
"This time, they must be uprooted."
His tone was fierce and full of murderous energy.
A large part of this large-scale troop transfer is due to Yoshio Shinozuka, who constantly responded to the front army and even the base camp about the security problems in North China, and demanded to increase the number of sweeping troops, and was finally agreed to transfer troops from all over the country.
"The general has a point."
Yamamoto nodded.
As a part-time intelligence officer, he naturally knows these situations, and even knows specific data.
Not to mention the high-quality weapons provided by Chen Fan, only the rifle and pistol produced by the Taihang Mountain Ordnance Shovel of the Eighth Route Army can be equipped with more than one regiment every month, and the grenadier is far exceeded, and the ammunition data is unknown, but judging from the recent combat consumption of the Eighth Route Army, it will not be too low.
Although it is not possible to make a self-made machine gun at present, in just a few years, under the heavy blockade and continuous sweep of the empire, the other party has built a large-scale arsenal from scratch, and God knows what will come out of it for a while.
He also felt that it was necessary to deal with these guerrillas entrenched in North China as soon as possible.
Compared to the national government, this group of Eighth Route Army is the most important thing for the empire to deal with.
"It is estimated that the strength of the imperial army participating in this sweep will be close to 60,000."
Shinozuka's tone was a little smug.
The ability to mobilize such a large number of troops is largely due to him, and of course, a large part is due to Grand Master Li. The credits of the two actually overlap.
If it weren't for Grand Master Li's various troubles in the past two years, as well as the stack of high-ranking officials and imperial troops who died in his hands, the high-level would not have agreed to mobilize such a huge number of troops to sweep up.
"The Imperial Army alone is close to 60,000..."
Yamamoto's eyes widened slightly.
And that's not even counting the Imperial Army.
No wonder you have to start stockpiling supplies so early.
The two chatted and chatted, the team had arrived at the training ground six kilometers away from Taiyuan City, and the devils dragging the cannon began to act, building positions, assembling heavy artillery, and simulating launches...
Yes, although it is nominally a run-in of equipment and a real combat exercise, the little devil is reluctant to use precious heavy artillery shells for practical training.
"General."
Looking at the 240 heavy guns that took more than an hour to prepare, and this is still the case when the cannons were almost assembled before, Yamamoto said:
"In this attack on Li Yunlong, we must strengthen the defense of artillery."
"I have studied his battle examples, this man is extremely proficient in infiltration and interspersing tactics, and in our battle against Shou County, he will definitely send troops to intersperse or detour to attack heavy artillery positions."
"It is best to choose a suitable and concealed artillery position, the warning circle should also be wide, and guards should be arranged for several kilometers around to prevent Li Yunlong from using mortars to shell heavy artillery positions."
"Hmm."
Yoshio Shinozuka nodded.
The two were chatting, and the devils were also busy organizing actual combat training, and no one noticed that not far from the training ground, where there were three people hidden...
"So many little devils..."
Next to Wang Gensheng, a special squad soldier swallowed his saliva.
At this time, there are at least two brigades of more than 2,000 devil soldiers on this training ground, and if they are discovered, it will be a lot of fun. And they are only more than 700 meters away from the nearest devil.
"Tsk, these three heavy cannons."
Wang Gensheng didn't panic at all, and admired the devil's three heavy cannons with relish.
"Look at this caliber, those two should be the devil's 150 heavy guns, and that cannon is the 240 caliber."
Wang Gensheng already knew the news that the devil had prepared three siege artillery pieces.
"Those two 120 mortars in our regiment are just children."
The other team member sighed emotionally.
"I don't know if Boss Chen will give us this kind of heavy artillery in the future."
"It should be, it is said that there will be tanks next year, and there will definitely be heavy artillery."
As a member of the special squad, he naturally knows some confidential information in the regiment.
"I don't know what the power is?"
The three of them looked at the devil who was assembling the cannon in the distance, expecting the devil to fire a cannon and let a few people see it.
They haven't seen a cannon of more than 120 calibers!
The devil used to dispatch a maximum of 105 cannons, and there were only 120 mortars in the regiment, which was thirty worse than the 150 of the little devils.
It's a pity that the devil disappointed the three of them, and after waiting for several hours, they watched the devil assemble the cannon, dig the position, and even raise the barrel, and the ammunition man raised the shell, but he didn't see the shell fired.
In the end, I only saw the devil pushing over a mountain cannon and firing a few shots into the distance.
"That's it?"
Wang Gensheng looked at the devil who was packing up the heavy artillery and preparing to go back, and was extremely disdainful.
After waiting for a long time, seeing that thousands of you have been busy for so long, the shells have been lifted out, and the result is that two mountain cannons have been fired? Or 75 mountain guns?
So what are you carrying out this heavy cannon for?
Roller?
"Little devil cannonballs are not much."
There were fighters who were equally disdainful.
"Let's go, go back to the group."
Glancing at the devils in the distance, as well as the unharmed concealed ammunition depot loaded with 120 mortar shells, Wang Gensheng waved his hand.
······
"Commander."
"Commissar."
Shou County, the commander of the guard platoon walked in, and after looking around, he saw that there were only two regiment commanders and political commissars in the regiment headquarters, so he said:
"The devil sent a message to Zhu Ziming again."
"I said that I would like Zhu Ziming to investigate the fortifications in our city."
As he spoke, he handed over a letter, which was copied according to the secret letter from the devil to Zhu Ziming.
"Oh?"
Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Little devil, this is finally remembering that they still have a spy?"
Li Yunlong took the letter.
Zhu Ziming has been there for half a year, and the devil has hardly been in contact for so long, if he doesn't contact again, he is afraid that he will kill this person. The blood feud of the intelligence comrades of Shou County is not counted yet.
For this kind of person, Grand Master Li still has the same attitude, he can't bear it, it's understandable, after all, there are iron men, there are wastes, but he dares to come back and be a ghost spy, hum·····
"He actually used exposure to threaten Zhu Ziming, it seems that the little devil is determined to get our work."
After reading the letter, Li Yunlong handed it to Zhao Gang.
"The little devil is probing the fortifications of our Shou County."
赵刚 says:
"This is the devil preparing to attack Shou County."
"Lao Li, what about us?"
As he spoke, Zhao Gang looked at Li Yunlong.
According to common sense, Zhu Ziming must not be allowed to reveal the information of Shou County's fortifications to the devil, but considering that Li Yunlong may have any ghost ideas, Zhao Gang asked Grand Master Li.
After all, this spy can squeeze out a heavy machine gun.
"Now Zhu Ziming is arranged in Yang Village and Shou County, after he received the secret letter from the devil. I will definitely find a way to come to the county seat, delay him for a while, and let him come over when I am ready. ”
Grand Master Li narrowed his eyes and pondered for a moment before speaking.
"Yes."
The guard platoon leader nodded, then left.
"You're going to put smoke bombs on the devils?"
Zhao Gang guessed Grand Master Li's thoughts.
Unleash true and false information, and when attacking, waste the power of the devil, and even calculate the devil.
"Hey, hey, hey..."
Grand Master Li suddenly smiled, and his tone was satisfied: "Lao Zhao still understands me, we are really partners made in heaven." ”
What is made in heaven and earth for this?········ Political Commissar Zhao suddenly looked disgusted.
·······
Xujia Village.
Zhu Ziming looked at the secret letter in his hand and let out a long sigh.
At this moment, the spy was heartbroken, but also excited.
Counting it, he hasn't received any contact for four months, so scared that Zhu Ziming thought that the devil was planning to abandon him, so that he couldn't eat or sleep well in the past few months, and even began to plan to escape from the independent regiment.
At this time, the contact information finally came, and he was also relieved.
But the content in it made him collapse inside.
In the secret letter, Yamamoto demanded that he must get the fortifications in the independent Tuanshou County, or important information in the city, otherwise his news would be released to the public and let him be exposed.
"What now?"
Zhu Ziming was anxious.
After the independent regiment recaptured Shou County, he never went, he has been here in Yang Village and Xujia Village, responsible for counter-espionage and traitor work, this time Yamamoto asked him to find out the intelligence of Shou County, there is no way to do it.
Like an ant on a hot pot, Zhu Ziming walked around anxiously, and finally gritted his teeth:
"I'll try to apply to Shou County first, if it doesn't work, then run..."
It's not that hard.
It seems that some of the information requested by Yamamoto this time, as long as he enters Shou County, as well as his capacity as a security officer, he can enter many places, and it is not difficult to get some information.
He came to the former regiment headquarters in Xujia Village and sent an application to a company stationed here, saying that he wanted to go to Shou County to work, because he really couldn't find any reason to go to Shou County, so he directly said that the base area has been stable recently, things are not busy, and he wants to go to the county seat to have a look.
But to Zhu Ziming's surprise, he was actually agreed, but asked to go with the guard platoon in a few days.
Suddenly, Zhu Ziming's heart relaxed.
Unless he has to, he doesn't want to escape, the life of the independent regiment is good, and in the future, if he makes meritorious service, the devil will definitely arrange a good position for him to continue to enjoy his happiness.
It's better than fleeing alone, or even being hunted down.
······
Just when Zhu Ziming planned to either enter Shou County or run away.
Shou County Independent Regiment Headquarters.
Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang were discussing.
Li Yunlong pointed to the map of Shou County on the table and pointed to a street in the north of Shou County:
"To the north of Shou County, our main fortifications are not here."
"I'm thinking about building an underground ammunition depot here, building it a little more stable, and then putting some empty ammunition boxes in it, and then letting Zhu Ziming see it, so that when the devils attack, they will definitely bombard this place."
"I heard Wang Gensheng say that he had seen it in Taiyuan, and there didn't seem to be many heavy artillery shells from devils."
"Hey, hey, hey..."
"We can waste some cannonballs on the little devils first."
"That's a good idea."
Zhao Gang looked at the position pointed by Li Yunlong and agreed very much:
"This place is located within the city wall of Shou County, surrounded by fortifications, the little devil will definitely not be able to enter in a short time, if there is an ammunition depot here, the devil will inevitably use heavy artillery shelling to destroy the ammunition depot."
"And the shelling time will not be short, even if the heavy artillery is very powerful, but if you want to destroy the ammunition depot, or bury it so that it cannot be used, you will need a lot of shells."
"That's it."
Li Yunlong immediately clapped his hands and shouted outside:
"Monk, go and call the second battalion commander over."
Shen Quan came over soon, this question looked a little Swenwen's second battalion commander, after more than two years of tempering in the independent regiment, at this time still with a bookish atmosphere, after getting Li Yunlong's order, after discussing the details, he immediately organized people to work, and carried out a high degree of secrecy work in a decent manner.
After arranging the work, a target was prepared for the devil to waste cannonballs, and Grand Master Li was ready to drink a few glasses of wine to celebrate.
Just to taste the good wine that Lao Liu got from the boss.
Li Yunlong has already figured it out, every time he comes up with a good idea against the devil, Zhao Gang will ignore him for a while, and even when the situation is not dangerous, or when the idea is enough for the ghost and the devil is ruthless enough, he can drink wildly.
Sure enough, as Li Yunlong expected, after Zhao Gang glanced at Li Yunlong, he snorted coldly and left directly.
Not long after the political commissar left, Zhang Dabiao rushed in like a shark smelling fish, bent down slightly, saliva in his mouth, and smirked at Li Yunlong:
"Leader, it's so boring to drink alone, I'll accompany you."
As he spoke, he looked at the bottle of wine in Li Yunlong's hand, and his eyes straightened.
He knew where the wine came from.
This is a really good wine, the kind that is difficult to buy in big cities, it is said that this is a special level given by Yan Laoxi to the boss, and he has been coveting it for a long time.
"Want to drink?"
Li Yunlong first said with a smile, which made Zhang Dabiao's heart suddenly moved, thinking that this time the wine was successful, but then...
"Get out."
scolded Zhang Dabiao and had to lower his head, intending to leave in disgrace.
It was at this time.
Didi ·····
On Li Yunlong's waist, the iron communicator rang.
? ?。。。。 I didn't add more to it.。。。
