Li Yunlong: Set him a small goal first, and annihilate 100,000 devils at once! (below)
No matter how anxious the American General Weidemeyer was, things were still developing according to Li Yunlong's plan.
Even the time is much earlier.
Only by the end of May, with the strong support of the higher authorities, the comprehensive reorganization plan of the independent regiment was initially completed.
The sufficiency of materials has brought the organizational ability of the troops into full play, and the strength has grown more and more rapidly, especially in the cultivation of talents, which has produced explosive results.
By the end of May, the regiment consisted of 60 infantry battalions, 30 artillery battalions, 20 tank battalions, two flying battalions, an airlift battalion, and a number of logistics battalions, air defense battalions, and so on.
Thereinto.
The infantry battalions are all equipped with new semi-automatic rifles, equipped with large mules as a transport force, and are attached to an independent 120 mortar company.
Except for some mountainous or lightly armed battalions, the artillery battalions were all equipped with new 125 howitzers, and all transportation was changed to 10-wheeled trucks, or large jeeps and half-track tractors, so as to completely realize mechanization.
As for the tank battalion, Li Yunlong also thought about changing to new equipment, and even exchanged for a lot of tank tests such as No. 4 and No. 5.
system, no more.
The basic shape of the No. 4 tank is the same as the original, but the staggered load rotation is replaced by a single wheel, with better materials, a more powerful diesel engine, a higher level of power protection, and stronger off-road passability.
Tank No. 5 too.
But after the test, Li Yunlong still gave up on changing tanks.
First, the No. 4 is enough to deal with the devils, there is no such need, and the latest anti-tank gun of the little devils can't penetrate the frontal armor of the No. 4 tank anyway.
Second, even if the engine technology base is about the same, but if you change to a new tank, the troops will have to be familiar with it for a long time, not to mention the independent regiment with a weak foundation.
Three, these two things are too heavy.
The lightest is also more than forty tons, the heaviest is even seventy or eighty tons, Zhao Jiayu's highway is a little unbearable, and I don't know how many highway bridges I crossed during the test.
At the end of the test, the bridges were even urgently reinforced, and some bridges were simply rebuilt with reinforced concrete.
Coupled with the lack of tank crews, there were more than 1,000 tanks in 20 tank battalions, and only about half of them could actually fight, so the refitting plan was abandoned.
After completing the reorganization, Li Yunlong did not act immediately, but began large-scale training to familiarize the troops with the new weapons and the new formation.
The gunners are familiar with the new artillery, the old tank crews teach the new tank crews to train in actual combat, the infantry are familiar with the new guns, and the old and new pilots learn each other's techniques, of course, the main thing is to consume too much materiel.
At the same time, the organization of forces began to massively collect intelligence on the First Army in preparation for the upcoming offensive.
After that, Li Yunlong called the monk and the special team.
"Are the Special Squad ready?"
Li Yunlong asked.
"Ready."
The monk's tone was confident.
A month ago, the special squad received the task of attacking the Devil's Airport and cooperating with the Air Force to destroy the Devil's Air Base in Hubei, Henan, Anhui and other places, mainly to provide positioning and intelligence support for the Air Force.
At the same time, he also gave the mission information and the specific location, and he has been organizing targeted training for the brigade for a month.
He's been prepared for this for a long time.
"Okay."
Li Yunlong is very satisfied:
"You'll leave tomorrow."
Kong Jie is about to arrive at his destination, and it is expected that the airport will be built in another half a month, and the air transport brigade has also been formed, and a total of 54 transport planes have begun training.
But before the mission begins, it is necessary to solve the problem of the devil's aircraft, which can be much more vulnerable than attack aircraft.
"Yes."
The monk saluted.
Meantime.
It's also May.
In the second phase of the Devil's No. 1 operation, the Battle of Changheng began, and its goal was to completely open up the Hunan and Guizhou Railway, destroy and destroy the surrounding Sino-American airports, and remove the air threat to the mainland.
Just like the Battle of Henan-China, the Japanese army won successive battles under the command of Isamu Yokoyama, which made the international community's impression of the Republic of China plummet, and foreign allied conferences also repeatedly fell into passivity, and the delegates were even ridiculed in person.
At this time, few eyes paid attention to the turbulent undercurrents that occurred in Jin Province, and no one paid attention to the battle of the troops attacking the Mongolian army. In the eyes of others, except for the Kwantung Army, the rest of the devils are not worth mentioning.
Even the intelligence departments of various countries are looking for Chen Fan like crazy, but they don't pay attention to a force that comes out of the mud legs at all.
Even if a farmer gets a tank, he is still a farmer and can only farm.
······
Early June.
The situation as a whole remains unchanged.
The Battle of Changheng is still based on the devil's all the way to devastate and develop, and the preserved fruit troops are defeated and retreated, but compared to the smooth battle of Yuzhong, this battle of the devil is particularly difficult, and the devil's army is still far away from Hengyang, one of the targets.
The progress of the battle was much slower than expected.
The main reason is that after receiving sufficient fuel and bomb supplies, the Sino-US joint air force not only completely suppressed the devil's army aviation units, but also vigorously supported the ground forces.
Although it is far from the arrogance of the independent regiment aviation brigade, it also makes Yokoyama miserable.
Of course, there is another reason.
That is, many airports and planes of the devil were all served by the monk with a special squad and the independent regiment aviation brigade, and the angry Yokoyama scolded him, and even called and scolded Yoshio Shinozuka many times, and even scolded Gangcun Ningji, but he was helpless, in the face of the urging of the base camp and the prime minister, he could only pinch his nose and continue to attack regardless of casualties.
Without the support of the air force, the baggage team is completely exposed to the enemy's air force, and the devil can only see the hell if he can go smoothly.
The other side.
Zhao Jiayu base.
It's all hot here.
The tank business was again settled, and the separate regiment received twice as much supplies as in May.
More than 800,000 tons of ammunition, more than 10 million tons of reinforced concrete, tens of thousands of vehicles of various kinds, and huge materials directly made Zhao Gang's eyes red, and he once again launched the large-scale expansion plan of the construction brigade, and asked Chen Fan to exchange dozens of masters to be responsible for the management of the construction brigade and the construction design of the base area.
At the beginning of the month, the monk led a special team and cooperated with the flight team to cut off several devil airports in the south in one fell swoop, not only relieving the safety problem of the transport aircraft, but also obtaining a lot of master quotas, coupled with the battle on the Mongolian side, Zhao Gang was able to get the support of dozens of top talents at one time, and basically solved the problems in the development and construction of the base area.
But the tens of millions of tons of fuel oil behind it made it difficult for the political commissar.
Large fuel base.
For every devil killed, there are 20 tons, and the tank business also comes with gifts, and each tank gives dozens of tons, and in addition to grain, the base area has the most fuel oil, and the fuel has doubled every month, and as of June, the total amount has nearly exceeded 30 million tons.
It's just too much.
There's no way to run out of that.
In May, even if the base is selling heavy oil and low-grade gasoline. Tens of thousands of trucks and half-track vehicles stepped on the accelerator hard, and farms, troops, and construction brigades even burned fuel as firewood, and they almost ran out.
Not to mention double June.
But it must be consumed, otherwise it will not be reimbursed next month, and it cannot be doubled.
For this matter, Zhao Gang thought about it for a long time and didn't find a way, during which he lost a lot of hair, and in the end, he had no choice but to find Li Yunlong, thinking that Grand Master Li had a lot of ideas, and gave him ideas.
"Too much fuel? Can't run out? ”
Hearing Zhao Gang's problem and looking at the calculation table on the table, Li Yunlong fell into deep thought.
This is indeed a big problem.
Fuel must be used up, so there is no need to discuss it.
It's all about reimbursement.
But Lao Zhao has used all the methods that can be used in the base, increasing consumption and increasing external sales, but he still can't use them up. It's not winter now, you can't use oil to heat your home, and he really can't find any other good way, so he can't pour it out.
"In the future, the more energy this thing will come to a country, the better, okay?"
Li Yunlong suddenly raised his head and asked Zhao Gang.
As the base area grows larger and develops more and more rapidly, Grand Master Li's vision will become wider and his feelings will become deeper and deeper.
Why is the base area with Ping'an County as the core developing faster and faster recently?
The core factor is not only the increasing number of ordinary people, but also the population is the basis for the development of a region, and the real reason is the nearly 100,000 cars and trucks of various types fluttering in the base area, and the fuel and steam locomotives roaring on the railroad tracks.
It is they who drive the development and growth of the base area more and more rapidly, and it is the huge materials provided by the huge Brother Chen and the huge population of the base area that drive and link up.
Without these machinery and equipment, the speed of development of the base areas would have lagged behind at least.
And these machinery and equipment, the most important thing is fuel, I didn't see the devil crying dad and shouting to his mother to find fuel, and even he dug a pit and put fuel on it, and jumped into it desperately.
"Yes."
Zhao Gang nodded:
"Cheap and abundant energy is a necessary condition for a country to grow and develop."
He can formulate development plans unscrupulously, and the surrounding areas of Ping'an County can develop and grow by leaps and bounds, and there are many factors, but one of them is the extremely cheap transportation system.
"That."
Li Yunlong narrowed his eyes:
"Let's do a test for the future."
"Testing?"
Zhao Gang was stunned.
"Yes."
The corners of Li Yunlong's mouth hooked and explained:
"In the future, Brother Chen will give more and more fuel, and it will not be used up now, let alone in the future, so let's find a way to save all the fuel and use it again in the future when the country is built."
"Save it?"
Zhao Gang's eyes lit up.
The fuel provided by Boss Chen has containers, and there are many specifications, including standard fuel iron drums with a capacity of one-seventh of a ton, portable iron drums of twenty or thirty liters, and large oil pipes of dozens of tons.
These containers are of good quality, thick, and the outer layer is painted, anti-corrosion, rust-proof and moisture-proof, and it is not a problem to put them in the warehouse for more than ten years.
That's a good idea.
"Still."
Then Zhao Gang frowned:
"Only the materials we have used, Brother Chen will be reimbursed twice."
It can be doubled in July, it can be doubled in August after the total annihilation of the First Army, and maybe there will be a chance to double in September.
"So, we have to find a way to both reimburse and save."
Li Yunlong showed his trademark smile.
·······
"General, there is not enough aviation fuel, and it is impossible to take off."
After listening to the staff officer's explanation, at Taiyuan Airport, looking at a reconnaissance plane parked in the airport in the distance, Yoshio Shinozuka sighed.
Recently, although Li Yunlong has made a big move in the area of the Mongolian army, and the Mongolian army has cried and several brigade commanders have been killed, Li Yunlong has not relaxed the pressure on the First Army in the slightest.
On the positions of the imperial army near Yangquan and Taiyuan, a large number of shells fell every day, a large number of soldiers died every day, and the positions needed to be repaired every day.
Around the Zhengtai Railway, a large number of regular troops of the Tuba Road were mobilized to form a pocket, and the First Army located on the Zhengtai Line was loaded in its entirety, waiting to be swallowed in one bite.
Catch a turtle in an urn!
So he planned to risk being shot down, and also sent a reconnaissance plane to reconnoiter a circle, but unexpectedly, there was no aviation fuel.
"Let's go down."
Yoshio Shinozuka sighed again.
After June, Li Yunlong again increased the amount of fuel released.
Today, he collects more than 7,000 tons of fuel every day, which is transported back to the country by rail, and he can meet the minimum needs of the empire with one Zhengtai line.
But the problem is that all of these fuels are heavy oil, which is only suitable for marine steam turbines, and it is difficult to refine into gasoline and diesel, let alone high-grade aviation gasoline.
Although the Reich is really vigorously studying the conversion of heavy oil into gasoline and diesel, and even invited Germany to help provide technical support, the progress is worrying, and there is no breakthrough or progress at present.
So, his reconnaissance plane took off without fuel.
"General Yamamoto."
Looking back at Taiyuan City for a long time, Yoshio Shinozuka suddenly spoke.
"General?"
Yamamoto's tone was puzzled.
For the first time in history, Yoshio Shinozuka called him a general.
"You go and take your special squad to SJZ, where to organize recruit training, Taiyuan will not come for the time being."
Yoshio Shinozuka's tone was full of gloom.
The strength of the guerrillas is rising every day, the number is getting bigger and bigger, the equipment is getting better and better, there are more and more aircraft, tanks and artillery, and his first army, although the number is increasing, now it is more than 100,000, but it is all some crooked melons and cracked jujube soldiers.
And there are almost no heavy weapons.
is like the army of the Republic of China seven years ago, and the strength of the other party has indeed surpassed the empire seven years ago.
There is no need to think about it, once the other party launches an attack, the First Army will not be able to stop it for long, and it will soon be completely annihilated, and the upper echelons of the empire will definitely not allow him to retreat for the sake of fuel.
The lives of 100,000 imperial citizens in exchange for more than 200,000 tons of fuel per month, this account ·····
"Hey."
Yamamoto moved his mouth, but in the end he could only nod his head.
The situation in Shanxi can be seen by everyone, and he is naturally clear.
If you continue to stay in Shanxi, you can only die. It's useless for anyone to come. The current Tubalu, as well as Li Yunlong, even if all the Kwantung Army came over, it would be useless.
"Let's go now."
Yoshio Shinozuka waved his hand, his tone calm.
"General, please take care."
Before leaving, Yamamoto bowed his head heavily. (End of chapter)
