Chapter Twenty-Nine: No Loss, Return Blood to Earn (II)
Chapter Twenty-Nine: No Loss, Return Blood to Earn (II)
Independent regiment, Zhao Jiayu.
"This time, I don't know if it's good luck or bad luck."
Looking at the wreckage of the granary in front of him, the scorched grain, and the wreckage of the still burning devil plane, Zhao Gang shook his head helplessly.
When the devils bombed, the heavy machine gun company, that is, the air defense company, happened to be training in Zhao Jiayu, and it happened to be near the granary, so there was a chance to shoot down the devil's plane in front of him.
Otherwise, with just six minutes of advance warning time, it will be too late to deploy.
This cannot but be said to be luck.
But to say lucky, the downed devil plane happened to land on a granary, which increased the losses.
"We're air defense a problem right now."
Political Commissar Zhao suddenly said worriedly.
Although the Devil's Airport in Taiyuan was bombed, it now seems that shelling the airport alone cannot completely eliminate the bombing of the Devils, and can only reduce the scale of the bombing. Moreover, the devils also have airfields in Baoding, Zhangjiakou and other places, and the independent regiment over there cannot reach it no matter what.
Even if there are big mules, it is impossible for the artillery unit to maneuver over there, but the devil's plane can easily fly to Zhao Jiayu's side to bomb.
Although there is a heavy machine gun company, the aircraft are too maneuverable, and the degree of freedom in the attack location and position is extremely high, and it is difficult for the ground air defense to cope with it.
The range of heavy machine guns against the air is not sufficient, the coverage is too small, and the maximum alert time of about 10 minutes is not at all, and the base area is so large that it cannot respond at all. This time it was good luck, the heavy machine gun company was nearby, but not every time there was such good luck.
"I've thought about that."
李云龙 says:
"There are not many devil planes in Taiyuan, and it can be seen from the fact that there are only two of them this time, and it is estimated that there will not be any large-scale bombing in the past few months, even if the devils mobilize planes from other places, it will not be too fast."
"Let's prepare well next and protect all the important materials, it's a big deal that the little devil has blown up something, let's repair it again."
Grand Master Li's tone was heroic.
Today's base area is a small-scale peasant economy, based on agriculture, and all the means of production are concentrated on the land, and everything revolves around the land, just for that little bit of food all year round.
Now he has goods in his pocket, and he doesn't panic at all, as long as he has food, the base area will not be chaotic.
"It's not a good idea to be bombed passively."
"Can you mount an anti-aircraft machine gun on a motorcycle?"
Zhao Gang came up with an idea on a whim:
"Then let's build some small roads around the mountain near Zhao Jiayu, just pass the three jumpers, and when the devil plane comes, let the three jumpers carry heavy machine guns to deal with it."
"As long as there is a road, the three jumpers are much faster than the big mules, and they can definitely react and catch away the devil's plane in time."
Passively being bombed is not the way, you have to take the initiative in air defense. Now that the independent regiment has caught three devil spies, there will be thirty three jumpers, and after setting up anti-aircraft heavy machine guns, they will be able to wrestle with the devil's plane.
"This won't work."
Behind him, the cavalry battalion commander Sun Desheng spoke: "I tried, but the carrying capacity of the three jumpers is not enough, even if it is barely loaded, it is impossible to shoot on the car, the recoil is too great." ”
Zhao Gang sighed.
"Speaking of which."
Li Yunlong changed the topic in time: "We shot down a devil plane this time, and also killed a devil pilot, I don't know how much Brother Chen will give?" ”
Li Yunlong's words immediately made Zhao Gang's brows loosen.
Dingding·····
At this moment, the iron communicator on Li Yunlong's waist rang.
·······
"Loss of a plane?"
"The other plane was also slightly injured?"
Taiyuan, after Yoshimoto Sadachi received the damage report from the airport, the original smile on the corner of his mouth suddenly disappeared.
"Intensive anti-aircraft fire?"
"This Li Yunlong, the air defense is so strong?"
There was something unbelievable about him.
Ground anti-aircraft weapons, and only large-caliber heavy machine guns, if you want to shoot down the plane, the difficulty is not ordinarily high, this attack down, one crashed, one was slightly injured, either the pilot was careless, or the independent regiment anti-aircraft firepower is really strong.
"According to the pilot's report, about forty or so anti-aircraft machine guns were deployed in the separate regiment."
The captain of the First Army Flying Group, who was in charge of the report, replied.
"Forty..."
Gibbon was stunned.
Forty Strong...
That's the size of an air defense brigade.
Caught off guard, it is normal for a plane to crash and be damaged.
According to intelligence investigations, the independent regiment is equipped with an American-made M2 heavy machine gun, with a caliber of 12.7 mm and an effective anti-aircraft range of 800 meters.
"General."
Seeing that Yoshimoto didn't react for a long time, the captain of the flight group couldn't help but ask:
"Do you want to keep bombing?"
According to the previous order, his flying brigade was to regularly bomb the vicinity of the independent regiment to put continuous pressure on Li Yunlong.
“······”
The corners of Gibbon's mouth twitched, his brows furrowed deeply, and he didn't speak for a while.
At present, it seems that the most effective way to deal with Li Yunlong is to bomb, and a large number of bombardments have damaged his base areas and destroyed his materials. Those granaries are the best targets. It can also cause chaos in its base areas.
But the problem is that there are really not many planes under his hands, and the only ones that can fly are two reconnaissance planes, and he has applied for supplements, but there is no response for the time being.
As for anti-aircraft fire, this is not a problem, as long as there is preparation in advance, it is not difficult to deal with it.
"Stop the bombing and wait for the arrival of the new planes."
Gibbon waved his hand.
After the captain of the flight team left, Yamamoto rushed out:
"General, the latest information, Li Yunlong and his independent regiment are organizing manpower to widen the road, connect the two other regiments around him, and start building a large number of fortified positions."
"Nani?"
Yoshimoto was stunned for a moment, a little incredulous: "Widening the road? ”
"Hey."
"They widened and leveled the horse roads in the mountains, so that horse-drawn carriages could travel at high speeds, but they couldn't drive cars, and they didn't communicate with the outside roads, so it was a closed-loop road," Yamamoto said. ”
"They seem to be intent on establishing a solid base."
Gibbon immediately laughed, laughing very arrogantly and happily:
"Li Yunlong wouldn't think that he could establish a solid rear base in Shanxi, right?"
"Stupid."
He can't do anything with Li Yunlong now, because the troops are insufficient, and the follow-up troops are still in the process of being formed and trained in China, and when the troops arrive, he will naturally attack Li Yunlong and completely destroy his base area, and then those widened roads will become his help.
Yamamoto didn't speak again, he always felt that things wouldn't go so well.
As for the reason, Yamamoto also understands that for so many years, things have not gone smoothly against the independent regiment.
At this time, the jingle bell...
In the headquarters, the phone rang, and Gibbon picked up the phone and immediately bowed his head:
"General Gangmura."
"Hi, hi, hi..."
"Thank you, General Gangcun."
Afterwards, Yoshimoto was overjoyed and hurriedly thanked him.
Hanging up the phone, Gibbon smiled again and said in a pleasant tone: "In half a month, I will be replenished with twenty Type 97 dive bombers, as well as a lot of fuel and bombs." ”
"Twenty Type 97 dive bombers..."
Yamamoto's heart moved, the Ninety-Seven Type is now backward and no longer in production, and a large number of them are used as training aircraft, but it is still completely fine to use it against the guerrillas and Li Yunlong.
······
"Brother Chen."
"I've been looking forward to you coming."
At the scheduled delivery location near Zhao Jiayu, Li Yunlong couldn't wait to rush to Chen Fan.
It's a new January, there is a new radio station, and there are three jumpers, these two, Li Yunlong is looking forward to them, and he can't wait.
"This is the radio station, five stations, this is 30 tripods, with 30 tons of gasoline, and here is 2,000 tons of grain."
After introducing the materials, he changed his words:
"Brother Yunlong, you did a beautiful job this time, not only did you find three devil spies so quickly, but you also shot down a devil plane and killed the pilot."
"Hey, hey, hey..."
It's coming, it's coming... Li Yunlong's eyes lit up.
Praise him, it means that there are supplies, and there will be no less.
Zhao Gang also looked over, he was also very curious about how many supplies he could give, as for Sun Desheng, he couldn't wait to rush to the thirty three jumpers, and then took the people under his hands to start assembling, planning to have a good time here.
He hadn't touched the handlebars in two months.
"You kill this plane, plus that devil pilot, I will give you 2,500 tons of food, plus 150 tons of weapons and ammunition."
"Shhh
Chen Fan's voice fell, and Zhao Gang and Li Yunlong took a breath of cool air together.
They thought that if they killed this devil plane, there would be good things, and there would be no less, but 2,500 tons of food, plus 150 tons of supplies, this is really too unimaginable.
The two glanced at each other, and a thought flashed in their eyes at the same time:
"It's not a loss, and it's still blood."
"Hahaha, thank you Brother Chen"
Li Yunlong's mouth couldn't close.
He has already decided in his heart that when the devil plane comes in the future, he must fight to the death, regardless of the cost, regardless of the cost, such a high price, just knock it down, it will be a lot of blood to earn.
"That's right."
Chen Fan said suddenly:
"There are two more goodies for you here."
As he spoke, he lifted a canvas-covered area, revealing huge wooden boxes.
"The Dodge Jeep made in the United States, of course, has been improved a little bit, the performance has been slightly improved, this batch is a total of twenty units, plus fifty tons of gasoline, and some basic welding and cutting equipment."
"Twenty single-barreled twenty-millimeter anti-aircraft guns, plus some shells, and a set of anti-aircraft sighting equipment, these anti-aircraft guns can be mounted on a large jeep body, and they can also be unloaded."
"Jeep?"
Li Yunlong looked at the huge wooden box.
"Twenty-millimeter anti-aircraft guns!"
Zhao Gang also looked at it.
The two looked at each other again, and a thought flashed through their hearts at the same time-
It's simply, dozing off and sending a pillow.
"This entourage will stay for seventy-two hours, if there is anything he doesn't understand about the jeep and the anti-aircraft gun, you can ask him, in terms of mechanics, he still understands it very well."
Chen Fan pointed to an entourage.
This time, the system not only provided equipment, but also provided training services.
Of course, only mechanical technical training is provided.
Zhao Gang and Li Yunlong noticed this time that this time a thin subordinate came, with eyes, tall and thin, with short hair, looking very gentle and quiet.
Then Chen Fan left directly, and Li Yunlong quickly asked the troops to organize people to carry the materials, and more than 2,000 people moved the materials to Zhao Jiayu little by little.
"Gasoline, put it all in the underground warehouse."
"Can't put down the food? Then rent a villager's house, give food directly to the villager, pay attention to statistics, and send someone to guard it. ”
"Sun Desheng, don't play with motorcycles there, come and carry supplies."
In addition to being busy, Li Yunlong did not forget the entourage who stayed behind.
"Call all the people from the maintenance center, let them be responsible for receiving these jeeps, ask this master directly if you don't understand, and also call Yan Sheng over, let him receive anti-aircraft guns, and call Yu Shan, the commander of the heavy machine gun company, over."
For those mechanical talents given by the headquarters, Li Yunlong set up a maintenance center to prepare for taking over the tank in the future.
The people left by Brother Chen must be top talents, and they only have seventy-two hours, so they naturally have to make good use of them.
Li Yunlong knows very well that with the increasing equipment of the independent regiment, there will be more and more technical personnel needed, and although the headquarters has provided some technical personnel, compared with foreign talents, his own side lacks experience, and it must be somewhat insufficient.
It wasn't until late at night that the Independent Regiment brought back all the supplies and hid them.
In the early hours of the morning, Li Yunlong called Sun Desheng and asked:
"How, will it make those Dodge Jeeps?"
"I've tried it, it's no problem, it's very simple."
Sun Desheng's face was full of reluctance, where did he learn technology from the technician left by Boss Chen just now.
He was a real master, and he was extremely skilled.
Before, those guys in the maintenance center, especially the guys from several large foreign factories inside, had their noses up to the sky one by one, and now they are not honestly following behind the master, raising their hands when asking questions, and speaking carefully.
"How quickly can you master this big jeep, and how long will it take to form combat effectiveness?"
Li Yunlong saw Sun Desheng's impatient face, his eyes widened, and suddenly Sun Desheng became honest.
Grand Master Li planned to use these jeeps to equip them with anti-aircraft guns and use them for mobile air defense.
"A month, no, half a month."
Sun Desheng originally wanted to say that for a month, after all, if he wants to learn that kind of jeep, then he will learn to repair it, which is not easy for his subordinates, who were illiterate three years ago.
Even if they've gotten around with motorcycles.
But thinking of that master, Sun Desheng was confident that he would compress the time to half a month.
"Commander."
Sun Desheng lowered his head and said to Li Yunlong as if pleading:
"Can you talk to Boss Chen and let that master stay for a few more days? If we stay for a week, we'll be able to master these big jeeps in a week. ”
Sun Desheng's words suddenly reminded Li Yunlong of one thing in his heart - he forgot to ask about reinforced concrete.
