Chapter 417: If you want to be rich, build roads first!
At noon, Chen Feng arrived as scheduled with Yan Shuangying.
Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang personally went to the entrance of the village to greet him.
Zhaojiayu Village is different from Yangcun. The houses in Yangcun are all built on flat land, while the houses in Zhaojiayu Village are built against the mountains.
However, the two villages are similar in that there is a cliff behind the village.
When the two parties met, they naturally exchanged warm greetings.
"Haha, brother Chen, long time no see, I miss you so much."
As soon as Chen Feng got off his horse, Li Yunlong immediately came up with fists in his arms.
"Brother Chen, long time no see, I miss you so much."
Zhao Gang, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, also said hello with a smile on his face.
"Brother Li, Brother Zhao, congratulations on getting rich!"
Chen Feng handed the reins of the war horse to Yan Shuangying and congratulated him with a smile.
"Haha, we all rely on Brother Chen's business support, otherwise Brother Zhao and I would not be where we are today?" Li Yunlong laughed.
Zhao Gang smiled and said, "Brother Chen, Brother Li and I will prepare some wine. Let's go in and eat and chat."
Then, the three of them walked towards the regiment headquarters, arm in arm.
Knowing that Chen Feng was coming, the regiment leader also ordered the cooking team to prepare food and drinks. The regiment leader and the political commissar wanted to entertain the distinguished guests. Wang Dehou and Xing Zhiguo knew very well, so they went to inspect each battalion together.
As soon as we entered the room, there were several hard dishes on the table, as well as a bottle of fine Fenjiu.
"Brother Chen, please sit down." Li Yunlong said.
"Please!" Chen Feng said politely.
The three of them sat cross-legged on the kang and started changing glasses, but Li Yunlong still drank water, and only Zhao Gang and Chen Feng drank wine.
Li Yunlong has been quitting drinking for almost half a year, and his alcohol addiction is no longer as bad as before.
After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Li Yunlong got down to the topic and said: "Brother Chen, with your intelligence capabilities, you must know that Brother Qi Zhao and I led our troops to capture Taiyuan City and killed Yoshio Shinozuka.
Is it okay?"
Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang knew that Brother Chen in front of them had a first-class intelligence system.
They were even deployed at the Japanese First Army Headquarters and the North China Front Army Headquarters.
His intelligence capabilities, in some aspects, are even stronger than those of the Eighth Route Army headquarters, and he can always obtain extremely top-secret intelligence.
Therefore, in the view of Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang, Chen Feng must have known the information about the capture of Taiyuan and the killing of Yoshio Shinozuka.
Chen Feng nodded: "Yes, I already know that. The two brothers led the troops to capture Taiyuan this time and killed Yoshio Shinozuka. This dealt a heavy blow to the Japanese army and demonstrated military might. I give you a bowl of respect.
!”
After saying that, Chen Feng raised his bowl and drank it all in one gulp.
Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang were also very considerate and drank from their bowls.
He really admired Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang.
Although the current strength of the Eighth Route Army is no longer what it used to be, it is still at an absolute disadvantage compared to the entire Japanese army.
However, despite being at a disadvantage, they were able to find an opportunity to attack Taiyuan and give the Shanxi devils a black tiger strike.
Moreover, Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang were allowed to do it.
Although this has a lot to do with the sophisticated weapons and ammunition he provided to the New Regiment, it is also inseparable from Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang's ability to find opportunities, tactical command capabilities, the strong support of the Eighth Route Army headquarters, and the bloody battles of the soldiers.
.
"Brother Chen is serious. It is the duty of a soldier to protect our country and our country. Come on, let's have another drink."
Seeing Chen Feng open to the public, Zhao Gang was very excited and filled up his glass of wine again.
"No, no, Lao Zhao, you have made Brother Chen drunk, how can we talk about business?"
When Li Yunlong saw this, he quickly stopped Zhao Gang. Although Li Yunlong was not that addicted to alcohol now, seeing Zhao Gang and Chen Feng drinking so happily made him feel like a cat scratching his head.
If we, Lao Li, don’t have any wine to drink, then you can’t even think of drinking comfortably.
"Yes, let's talk about business."
Seeing Zhao Gang put down the wine bowl, Chen Feng also put down the wine bowl and said: "Let's check the accounts. This time, 115 Japanese aircraft were shot down. According to the rules, 1 aircraft was destroyed, 3 mountain guns, 1 pilot, 1 howitzer, 5 radios, 10
In terms of tons of grain, that’s 345 75mm mountain guns, 115 105mm howitzers, 575 radio stations, and 1,150 tons of grain.”
Li Yunlong asked in surprise: "Isn't there 110 planes? Why are there 5 more planes?"
Chen Feng said: "According to intelligence here, five Japanese aircraft crashed on their way back to the airport after being damaged by you."
Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang suddenly realized. Li Yunlong laughed: "So that's what happened. I thought the planes shot down by the 1st and 2nd columns were also counted on our heads."
However, it was a small surprise that there were 15 extra mountain guns, 5 howitzers, 25 radios and 50 tons of grain.
The plane was damaged and crashed on the way back, so naturally they were also blamed.
"The capture of Taiyuan's 2,000 tons of grain and 2,000 tons of weapons and ammunition was planned in advance."
Chen Feng said: "By the way, the defeat of the Japanese 3rd Brigade in Baozi Mountain, the destruction of a Japanese tank squadron, and the killing of more than 3,000 Japanese troops were done by the troops under your command, right?"
With a smile, Li Yunlong raised the corner of his mouth and said proudly: "Yes, it was our Fourth Battalion of the New Regiment that did it. They used the tunnels and anti-slope tactics provided by Brother Chen. If the 3rd Brigade hadn't run so fast,
The 3rd Brigade has long been wiped out by my fourth battalion."
Although there were still more than 2,000 people in the 3rd Brigade at that time, half of them were artillery and baggage personnel, and half were infantry.
Moreover, the morale of the Japs had been destroyed by the Fourth Battalion. Although there were only about 700 people left in the Fourth Battalion at that time, as long as a counterattack was launched at night, there was a high probability that more than 1,000 Japs could be killed.
With one battalion, they defeated most of the Japanese brigade head-on, which was very rare in the entire Anti-Japanese War.
Chen Feng nodded and said: "Okay, this battle is not included in the battle to attack Taiyuan. It is also considered a business. The price includes American equipment for 3,000 people and two 75mm mountain cannons."
Li Yunlong was pleasantly surprised: "Haha, doing business with Brother Chen is such a pleasure!"
Zhao Gang also had a look of gratitude on his face: "Thank you so much, Brother Chen!"
Although the New Regiment lost more than 800 men, the lost weapons and ammunition can be reimbursed, plus the 3,000 American-style equipment earned from this business.
The main force of the new group will soon expand to 11,000 people, which is almost the size of an art mechanic.
Moreover, according to Brother Chen, the US military does not have as strong firepower as the New Regiment.
The infantry squad has strong firepower, and there are also 2 artillery regiments and 4 machine artillery regiments.
Then, Li Yunlong raised the bowl and took a sip of water, and finally asked the question he was most concerned about: "Brother Chen, what is the price of killing Yoshio Shinozuka this time?"
Zhao Gang also looked at Chen Feng expectantly.
The corner of Chen Feng's mouth curled up slightly and he said: "The price for killing Yoshio Shinozuka is very high, 24 German 150mm howitzers, 3 basic shells, and a complete bullet production line..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Feng heard Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang across from him suddenly breathing rapidly.
Li Yunlong's eyes were so wide open that he almost fell out of his eyes. He quickly confirmed and asked: "Brother Chen, did I hear that right? It's really a 150mm heavy artillery?"
"That's right!" Chen Feng nodded and said, "It's a 150mm heavy artillery!"
Not a 105mm howitzer, but a 150mm howitzer.
Hearing Chen Feng's affirmative answer, Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang looked at each other, and both saw deep surprise in each other's eyes.
This is a 150mm heavy gun!
After fighting with the Japanese army for several years, Li Yunlong only saw the 150mm heavy artillery once, and it was the last time when Zhao Gang killed Masabu Hirata at Niangziguan.
There was a Japanese 150mm heavy cannon on board that giant armored train, but before the 150mm heavy cannon could take effect, it was remotely knocked out by Li Yunlong's mountain artillery battalion.
The 150mm heavy artillery is not even available in ordinary Japanese standing divisions, only the Japanese heavy artillery brigades are equipped with it.
It is enough to show the rarity and preciousness of this 150mm heavy gun.
The bullet production line is also very precious. Before the capture of Taiyuan, the Eighth Route Army's arsenal could only reload bullets and could not make its own bullets.
A bullet factory has just been seized and sent to southeastern Shanxi. With the addition of a bullet production line, the Eighth Route Army's monthly bullet output may exceed 2 million rounds.
Chen Feng continued without any hesitation:
"In addition, there are 24 37mm anti-aircraft guns, each with 3,000 rounds of 37mm shells."
"Given that the 150mm heavy artillery and 37mm anti-aircraft guns are relatively heavy and difficult to transport using mules and horses, there are also 100 cars and 20 jeeps."
This car is a domestic Jiefang brand car. It weighs 3,900 kilograms, is equipped with a 90-horsepower, four-stroke six-cylinder engine, has a load capacity of 4 tons, and a maximum speed of 65 kilometers per hour.
It's more advanced than the Japs' 94-type Douding cars.
Li Yunlong wondered: "Brother Chen, you should have seen this road in northwest Shanxi when you came here. With this road condition, you think it's okay to drive a mule cart and a horse-drawn carriage. As for cars, the road is not that wide."
"So." Chen Feng's tone did not waver at all, "We must build roads, otherwise heavy artillery and anti-aircraft guns cannot be transported mechanically. In addition, an airport must be built to facilitate the receipt of goods in the future."
Zhao Gang said in a deep voice: "In fact, it is not difficult to build roads. Just widen the original horse path."
"It's true when you think about it carefully." Li Yunlong looked thoughtful, and then said, "The mountain road is actually not narrow. It can drive horse-drawn carriages and mule carts. If it is wider, it will be a highway. It will be no problem for cars."
"We can also build a road to connect with the base areas of Lao Ding and Lao Kong. Then we can go to them and drive there in two or three hours."
Li Yunlong immediately decided that if he wanted to be rich, he had to build roads first!
Chen Feng added: "In addition to these, after the airport is repaired, the two brothers can prepare to arrange a group of personnel. I will send a plane to take them to my training base for closed training and start training pilots and tank soldiers.
and other high-tech arms.”
When Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang heard this, they laughed from ear to ear. The price for killing Yoshio Shinozuka this time was so damn good.
If you can kill Shun Tada, then the price shouldn’t include tanks and planes?
