"So much!"

Lieutenant General Doyle was shocked, and then with a wave of his hand, he bought them all:

"We buy as much as they give."

Although the other party's price is relatively high, several times higher than the domestic ex-factory price, it is still several times cheaper than shipping from the United States to India and then airlifted to the Republic of China.

After showing the courage of the local tyrant, Lieutenant General Doyle suddenly asked suspiciously:

"Where did they get fuel and bombs? How to transport? ”

High-grade aviation gasoline, and it is suitable for B29 grade use, the technical requirements are very high, there are few countries that can produce it, and Japan has not been able to produce it independently so far.

Where did they get them?

And as soon as it is shot, it is 100,000 tons of fuel oil and 10,000 tons of aviation explosives, which can only be achieved by an industrialized country.

Also, how is it transported?

By far, the biggest headache for the United States is that a large amount of supplies are concentrated in India and cannot be transported to the battlefield, and the efficiency and cost of air transportation are too high.

"The intelligence services began an investigation into the origin of their supplies a year and a half ago."

The clerk staff officer immediately said.

After entering the war, the Yankees were naturally very interested in the source of Li Yunlong's weapons, but they did not pay much attention to it at that time, and it was not until the appearance of the No. 4 tank and the food stamps began to exert their influence that they increased their efforts.

But well...

"But so far, there has been no investigation into which side provided their weapons and supplies."

The staff officer continued:

"I only know that the person in charge of the handover of materials is a person named Chen Fan."

"Chen Fan?"

Lieutenant General Doyle asked repeatedly.

"This person started coming into contact with the guerrillas in Shanxi about four years ago, but we only have this person's name, nationality, education level is unknown, and we don't have a photograph."

Staff Officer Says:

"At present, the president has ordered the intelligence services to fully investigate this person."

More than 5 million tons of grain, a large amount of weapons and equipment, fuel oil, and even machinery and equipment, factories, etc., which appeared in the mountainous areas of northwest Shanxi, naturally aroused great attention from the Americans.

This shows that there is an unknown force.

"Let me know as soon as I have news."

Lieutenant General Doyle nodded.

······

At the same time.

Ping'an County.

Independent regimental headquarters.

"It's a pity."

Li Yunlong looked at the return call from the American in his hand, and sighed.

Lao Zhao's business provided 100,000 tons of aviation fuel and 10,000 tons of aerial bombs in April, but the other party didn't even pay back the price, and accepted it all, and it was the full amount.

It deserves to be a big dog.

This business alone has made the troops millions of dollars, and high-grade aviation fuel is not cheap.

But Grand Master Li felt regretful that fuel could be reimbursed twice, while ammunition could only be reimbursed singlely, making less money, which made him feel that the world was not perfect enough.

"That's enough."

Zhao Gang shook his head:

"We had 200,000 tons of ammunition in April, and even if we gave 10,000 tons to the Americans, when the tank business ended in July, we would be able to exceed 1.5 million tons of ammunition."

"That's enough to get the little devil out for several trips."

Materials can be consumed in time, Zhao Jiayu base area, the number of construction brigades exceeds seven figures, the scale has long exceeded the total strength of the devil in the country, there are also a lot of various machinery and equipment, plus the base area is large, the consumption of cement and steel is very simple.

Just work hard to build and consume, and what canals, roads, and reinforced concrete houses are arranged.

Tanks, armored vehicles, airplanes, automobiles, large jeeps, motorcycles, etc., the construction brigade has also formed a process, and it can be done at the end of the month, and it is absolutely in a reimbursable state.

Fuel, in fact, is fuel, how can it be used up.

But the ammunition annoyed the commissar a little.

In April, there was no large-scale battle in the troop plan, 200,000 tons of ammunition, there was no battle, and it was not a simple matter to consume it all; for this reason, he summoned troops from other regions, set up artillery training camps, and organized thousands of groups of gunner training from the whole unit and even other base areas, and fired large-scale and high-intensity live ammunition on a daily basis.

But there were 400,000 in May and 800,000 tons in June.

This is still the minimum amount.

Of course, the commissar has already thought of a way.

That is to change to explosives.

The construction of the base area needs to open mountains, build railways and highways, Shanxi is mountainous, even if it is a flat area, there are many mountain bags, the winding mountain road wastes energy and time, the railway cannot be winding the mountain, and it is necessary to dig tunnels.

With the recovery of most of the Jin, the troops annihilated 30,000 devils at one time, and their reputation was greatly enhanced, and a large number of patriotic engineers came to defect, and the construction brigade was finally no longer in a state of serious lack of engineers, but the construction of tunnels was too time-consuming.

Therefore, when encountering troublesome peaks blocking the road, the first choice is to open the mountain with large-tonnage explosives, directly lift the mountain, and then tow the earthmoving truck away.

If there is no plain, make your own!

"That's right."

When Li Yunlong heard this, he suddenly said:

"Brother Chen came here once before and told me about the way to postpone the tank business."

"What's the solution?"

The commissar was instantly interested.

In his plan, a super-large amount of supplies, grain, cotton, trucks, fuel, reinforced concrete is needed in the future, and the more the better, and the more in quantity, the faster the country will develop.

Based on the materials in July, if it can be postponed for one month, it is equivalent to more than 3 billion US dollars in materials, and two months, it is more than 10 billion US dollars in materials.

"Annihilate the First Army, postpone it for one month."

Li Yunlong's eyes flashed.

As he spoke, Li Yunlong took out a new piece of information.

"Then before July, the First Army will be raised."

Zhao Gang took the information, and his eyes flashed.

The current Zhao Jiayu base area, not counting the recruits being trained, has a total strength of more than 65,000, and if you count the recruits, it will be almost 100,000.

After the battles of Ping'an County and Panxian County, the troops of the Independent Regiment experienced a rebirth, and with the large number of grassroots officers and cadres trained by the headquarters, the troops could be expanded on a large scale again, and the larger the scale of the construction brigade, the more qualified recruits were provided.

There were more than 800 105 barreled guns, and Iwamori was finally promoted to battalion commander to take charge of the artillery cluster. And next month, there will be more than 1,600. 160 heavy force, 240 heavy force more than 100 guns, so much ammunition to overflow.

There were more than 1,000 tanks, thousands of armored vehicles, and 270 planes, many of which could not be driven by anyone at all.

Killing the First Army, this matter couldn't be easier.

"When are you going to do it?"

Zhao Gang continued to ask.

"Wait a while."

Li Yunlong narrowed his eyes:

"Looking at the situation in front of us, the North China Front of the little devil still decided to attack Henan, and the whole army was dispatched, the scale of the First Army continued to strengthen, and a large number of recruits were mobilized, the later we start, the greater the benefits."

"Hmm."

Zhao Gang nodded.

The more devils are eliminated, the more benefits they can get, although the amount of reinforced concrete, tanks, and fuel given by the tank business is no longer important, but the new information shows it clearly.

Business has changed.

Now every 20,000 devils annihilated will give a large factory a complete set of equipment, as well as fifty top technical experts, that is, masters.

So.

The more devils in the First Army, the better.

·······

March 30th.

Afternoon.

Between the roads to Taiyuan Railway Station.

The two major generals, with a large pile of materials and a shocked expression on their faces, planned to leave Taiyuan, one to the headquarters of the dispatch army, and the other to the mainland.

"This is in Taiyuan City."

The major general from the homeland looked at the security guards around him and himself disguised as an ordinary soldier, and was very dissatisfied:

"The Imperial Army can't even guarantee the safety of the officers in the town?"

Although he prayed in his heart, in order to ensure the safety of the two major generals, Yamamoto still spared no effort, and in order to avoid the sight of the guerrillas all over the city, he arranged a fake officer corps, and the real officers were ordinary soldiers disguised as the rearguard, a few miles behind the camouflage team.

This arrangement made the two major generals who paid attention to their identity very dissatisfied, but now Yamamoto is famous.

First, it obtained a large amount of materials, food and fuel for the empire, which were urgently needed by the empire, and the base camp valued it, and even the emperor praised it.

Second, it has created new methods of soldier training and bushido training, which can greatly enhance the willpower of the recruit unit and speed up the training of recruits.

It can be said that the current Yamamoto is in full swing.

Even if Ping'an County is lost, even if the situation in Shanxi is so erosive, they have not received such punishment, which can be seen that naturally it is not something that two ordinary major generals can provoke, and the two can only complain quietly.

Following Yamamoto's arrangement, several people walked towards Taiyuan Railway Station.

It is not a short walk from the headquarters to the railway station, with a long gravel road in between, and the surrounding terrain is mountainous.

Just when the group was more than halfway through a relatively narrow canyon, suddenly, boom... Violent explosions rose from the mountains on both wings, and the smoke rose more than 100 meters, and a series of screams rang out from the ranks of 'officers' in front.

The smoke cleared, and almost no one in the 'officer' team was still standing.

The two major generals, who were originally full of complaints, suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.

Actually, someone can really launch an attack near the headquarters of the First Army, near Taiyuan City?

And it worked!

They knew very well that this road had been inspected by the Imperial Army, even if most of the First Army were straw bales, but the guards they had brought with them had also personally inspected it and found no problems.

"Awesome."

Yamamoto, who was also following behind, looked at the tragic situation in the distance and couldn't help but mutter to himself.

At a glance, he deduced how the attackers had evaded the many searches he had organized.

According to the tactics used by the independent regiment in the past, he focused on checking whether there were power lines in the vicinity, whether there were mines planted on the road, whether there were camouflaged roadside bombs in the ditches on both sides, and whether there were hidden snipers near the road.

But this time, instead of planting bombs in and next to the road, the attacker placed them directly on both sides of the hillside, more than a hundred meters from the road, and detonated them by radio, thus avoiding his search.

Hundreds of kilograms of explosives, containing a large number of fragments, canyon terrain, the moment of the explosion formed a death zone, and not a single person on the road survived.

If he hadn't arranged a fake team, then, today...

"Re-search the road ahead, focusing on both flanks of the road."

Yamamoto ordered in a calm tone.

After more than an hour, after inspection, no bombs were found on the road ahead, and no ambush was found nearby, so Yamamoto ordered the team to move on.

Meantime.

It's miles away from the road.

"It worked."

With the help of high-powered telescopes, after seeing the two devil major generals who were obscured by the smoke of gunpowder, a member of the special squad waved excitedly.

"Not necessarily."

Duan Peng's tone on the side was calm, and he found an abnormality.

Although the attack was successful, the devils were too calm, especially the group of devils in the back, although they were wearing ordinary soldiers' clothes, judging from the reaction to the explosion, they were obviously officers.

Half an hour later, everyone saw the devil soldiers under the command of a few 'ordinary soldiers' behind them start to patrol the road and clean up the scene calmly, and they also realized the situation.

"The devil of the dog day is really cunning."

One of the team members cursed.

"Send a report to the airport."

Duan Peng smiled and ordered in a calm tone.

This failure, as he expected, although the little devil was pressed and beaten by the troops, his brain was not stupid, and he was not so easy to deal with, not to mention that this was Taiyuan, the base camp of the First Army.

"Yes."

A fighter with a radio on his back quickly operated the radio and sent the telegram back to the flying group.

Ten minutes after the telegram was received by the radio station of the flight group, the exhaust pipes of the twelve 'bomb trucks' loaded with 3.5 tons of explosives were still smoking, and the huge five-bladed propellers began to turn.

Heyuan County is not far from Taiyuan, and even if it is fully loaded, there are more than enough attack aircraft.

Half an hour later, a train departed from Taiyuan Railway Station, carrying a large amount of supplies and two generals who were still in shock.

Looking at the train in the distance, Yamamoto breathed a sigh of relief, and then led people back to Taiyuan.

And Yamamoto had just returned to Taiyuan, and in his headquarters, he received news:

"General, the train to Beiping was hit by an air raid, the enemy dispatched twelve planes, dropped more than a hundred bombs, and the two major generals have been shattered."

After hearing the news and being silent for a long time, Yamamoto sighed, and his tone was still very calm:

"Notify the engineering wing to immediately repair the railroad and ensure the transportation of supplies."

·····

A few days later.

"The little devil did it."

Li Yunlong said to Zhao Gang, who was busy:

"Gangcun Ningci dispatched a total of more than 100,000 troops to attack the south, and it seems that he is preparing to open up the Pinghan line."

"More than 100,000?"

Zhao Gang was taken aback.

"Yes."

Li Yunlong's tone was also shocked.

From the intelligence collected from the headquarters, as well as the occasional sporadic intelligence analysis provided by Boss Chen, they had already judged that the devils were preparing for a big move, but more than 100,000 troops were dispatched in North China alone, and such a large-scale operation was still beyond everyone's expectations.

They originally thought that half of the North China Front would be very good.

"What are you going to do?"

Zhao Gang squinted his eyes and asked.

The little devil almost poured out of the nest, and this is a good opportunity.

"For such a big drama, of course I have to intervene."

Li Yunlong was sympathetic.
