Chapter 780 The war zone is very difficult (two chapters in one)

The word "agent" on his head really bothers Chen Zhengyu: Although no one in the regiment competes with him for the position of chief of staff, it is not justified after all, and he is not as authoritative and confident as the chief of staff during his tenure as acting chief of staff.

As soon as Zhou Cheng finished speaking, Chen Zhengyu was happy and immediately promised: "Please rest assured, I will be the chief of staff this time and will not make the previous mistakes again!"

After saying that, he walked to Zhou Cheng and introduced: "In addition to a few cities, there are many remnants of Japanese and puppet troops, all the Japanese and puppet troops in the city have been wiped out."

"We killed the Japanese corps commander with a submachine gun. The corps command, military police, arsenal, and material warehouse were all occupied by us!"

"Because time is limited, I haven't figured out how much the Japanese have stored in the ammunition and material warehouses yet. Why don't we go there directly?"

Zhou Zhike nodded and ordered while walking.

"You lead the way faster. If the Japanese army already knew that Jinzhong County was occupied by us for the second time, I don't know that they would not change the combat plan of the encirclement and suppression of the national rescue army, but they would definitely send planes to bomb the ammunition and material warehouses in Jinzhong City to prevent the weapons, ammunition and food they had worked hard to hoard were captured by us, and increase our anti-sweeping strength!"

"Now there are four hours before dawn, and it will take another hour for the Japanese to send a plane over, and a total of five hours."

"If you want to really put the weapons, ammunition and food that the troops have just seized, and for my use, everyone must clear the ammunition and material warehouse before the Japanese plane arrives in Jinzhong, and transfer all the weapons, ammunition and material inside. The farther away from the warehouse, the safer it is!"

As Zhou Cheng spoke, his group had arrived at the heavily guarded ammunition depot.

The Japanese and puppet troops on the open side in the city were all destroyed, but no one knew how many Japanese and puppet troops were hiding in the dark.

If they take the opportunity to make trouble, the weapons and ammunition that the troops finally seized will be destroyed.

"Report to the regiment commander, Chief of Staff, the first battalion is carrying out the warning tasks of the arsenal and material warehouses, please give instructions!" As soon as the group appeared at the gate of the warehouse, the first battalion commander He Feng rushed over and reported with excitement when he heard the news.

Zhou Cheng was also very satisfied with He Feng's performance and replied happily: "This time we can take down Jinzhong County, the first battalion made an important contribution... You won three battles and three victories in the city, the first to win the Japanese wing command, the first to climb to the east gate, and the first to cover the troops into Jinzhong. I have heard from the Chief of Staff that these battles are very good!"

"When this anti-sweeping campaign is completely over, the group will definitely reward you heavily!"

"But the battle is not over yet. I hope you will not be arrogant or extravagant, and maintain this momentum and make new contributions!"

"You first introduce to me how many treasures are stored in this warehouse. Only after you have a clear mind can you arrange for the troops to transfer all the good things inside to a safe location!"

After Zhou Chengyi finished speaking, He Feng's face was filled with joy and quickly reported: "I have counted the supplies, weapons and ammunition inside, and I will definitely scare you!"

"Captain of the Regiment, Chief of Staff, I will take you to see the first arsenal!"

As soon as he walked to the door of the ammunition depot, a strong smell of gun oil came to his face. Seeing that there were large boxes and several mountain cannons on the ground next to him, Zhou Cheng knew what was installed in the warehouse at a glance.

I immediately looked at He Feng: "There are weapons and ammunition inside!"

"It's weapons and ammunition!" He Feng immediately took out the list of weapons that his subordinates had just handed over: "After statistics, there are a total of 1,500 38 large covers, 50 79 caliber rifles, fifty crooked handles, twenty Czech light machine guns, fifteen 92 heavy machine guns, thirty grenade launchers, ten 81mm caliber mortars, four infantry cannons, four mountain cannons, and two field cannons!"

"Except for the 79-caliber rifle and Czech-made, the remaining Japanese weapons are all new. They should be reserved weapons that the Japanese army reserved in advance in order to kill us. If all the troops are equipped, it will be enough for us to arm a reinforcement regiment!"

Zhou Cheng was so happy that he brought so much equipment to himself in the first warehouse, which could definitely be called a dozing and giving a pillow.

The National Salvation Army is indeed well-equipped, but this does not mean that the National Salvation Army does not lack equipment.

When the Japanese army used poison gas bombs on the National Rescue Army for the first time, it not only caused a large number of casualties to the National Rescue Army, but the weapons and equipment of the soldiers who died were also seized by the Japanese.

In order to unify the weapons caliber of the troops, Zhou Cheng not only emptied the weapons and ammunition in the arsenal, but also evacuated all the Japanese weapons equipped by local troops. Finally, he asked his friends for help and exchanged three 79-caliber rifles for a 38-caliber cover. He wasted a lot of effort to make up for the gap.

Before the National Salvation Army attacked Jinzhong for the second time, the national Salvation Army's equipment was in short supply to the point where even one hundred 38-large bulbs could not be completed.

The battle between the Japanese army encircled and suppressed the National Rescue Army will be unprecedented. The larger the scale of the battle and the longer the duration, the greater the price the National Rescue Army will pay in the battle.

In order to ensure the combat effectiveness of the main force, he could continue to fight with the Japanese and puppet troops, Zhou Cheng used coal mines, captured the puppet army, recruited new soldiers, and prepared a total of 4,000 supplementary troops for the national rescue army, and supplemented troops at any time during the battle.

But none of these supplementary soldiers were equipped with weapons.

In the anti-sweeping battle, the National Salvation Army generally loses one rifle if it loses two soldiers, which means that the regiment must prepare at least two thousand rifles for 4,000 replenishing soldiers, otherwise there will be replenishing soldiers on the battlefield with empty hands.

Although several thousand Japanese soldiers were killed in this attack on Jinzhong County, there were only more than 2,000 riflemen equipped with the 38th Great Cover. Most of the Japanese were killed by shells, and the damage to their weapons was very serious.

If nothing unexpected happens, it would be great if you can finally seize a thousand intact 38 covers.

Now with the 1,500 38-large covers seized here, there are 2,500 rifles in the regiment that can replenish the main force at any time to ensure that the combat effectiveness of the main force is not affected by the lack of equipment.

While excited, Zhou Cheng became more and more looking forward to the next warehouse.

He Feng understood the gods and immediately took Zhou Cheng to the second warehouse. While walking, he introduced: "Captain, this is a material warehouse!"

"In order to prevent the arsenal from being attacked and being taken over by us, the Japanese and puppet troops deliberately arranged the material warehouse and the arsenal together."

"The warehouse contains all grain, with a total of 300,000 kilograms of rice and 1,000 boxes of canned food!"

Seeing Zhou Cheng nodding his expression on his face calmed down, He Feng realized that the regiment commander was not very interested in the things in the warehouse, so he immediately took him to the third warehouse to introduce: "Control Commander, this is an ammunition warehouse, and the piles of ammunition are all piled up."

"Because the Japanese suffered a loss of bombing the ammunition depot once, they were particularly cautious in laying out the arsenal. In addition to cross-arrangement of ammunition depots and arsenals, they also arranged all kinds of ammunition. Even if one of the arsenals was bombed, the ammunition reserved by the other ammunition depots was enough for the Japanese and puppet troops to use for a long time."

"After statistics, this ammunition depot has a total of 200,000 sixty-five-caliber pneumatic machine gun bullets, 50,000 seventy-nine-caliber pneumatic machine gun bullets, 50,000 heavy machine gun bullets, 10,000 grenades, 5,000 grenades, 5,000 artillery shells, 2,000 special grenades for grenade launchers, and 2,000 kilograms of explosives!"

"By the way, among the five thousand shells, in addition to the common mortar shells and mountain field shells, there are also five hundred 105mm caliber mountain shells and five hundred 120mm caliber mortar shells."

"It means that the Japanese and puppet troops will dispatch large-caliber mountain artillery troops and large-caliber mortar troops during this sweep!"

"It's all good things!" As he listened, Zhou Cheng's mouth was already filled with joy. Looking at the ammunition box piled up like a hill in front of him, his eyes shone with light and sighing.

In the next twenty minutes, every time Zhou Cheng looked at a warehouse, his smile would be even more.

After reading all eight warehouses, my mouth was so happy that I couldn't close.

Chen Zhengyu was also very excited. After a quick glance at the seized list in his hand, he looked at Zhou Cheng with an excited expression and said, "Captain, the Japanese have prepared a gift for us so generous. In addition to the equipment of a strengthening regiment, there are 800,000 65-caliber pneumatic gun bullets that we can use alone, which is enough to complete this counter-sweeping campaign.

"There are more shells than we imagined, with a total of 28,000, including 2,000 105mm large-caliber mountain cannon shells and 3,000 120mm caliber mortar shells!"

"I won't say much about other weapons, ammunition and supplies, it's enough to support us in winning this anti-sweeping battle."

After listening to Chen Zhengyu's report, Zhou Cheng laughed even happier: "If the Japanese and puppet troops knew that the weapons and ammunition we used in the anti-sweeping were all seized tonight, and they were the weapons and ammunition they were planning to sweep us, they would definitely be so angry that they vomited blood on the spot."

"But we can't be happy too early!"

"The current Jinzhong County has become a thorn in the eyes of the Japanese. In order to retaliate against us and not increase our anti-sweeping strength, they will definitely send planes to bomb Jinzhong, especially the arsenal under our feet, which will definitely become the key bombing target of the Japanese aircraft."

"In order to completely eat these seizures into our stomachs, we must transfer all the supplies, weapons and ammunition in the warehouse before the Japanese plane arrives."

"The transport team led by Deputy Commander Tang will not be able to arrive at the county town after dawn. It will definitely be too late to wait for them. Chief of Staff, please immediately give the participating troops an order: Yangquan garrison, Xiyang garrison, pacify the garrison, and leave a battalion to eliminate the remaining enemies. Other troops come here to report immediately!"

"Time is limited, there are many supplies, weapons and ammunition here, and our troops are very limited. It is definitely unrealistic to transfer all of them outside Jinzhong City. The guard battalion quickly dispatched and searched for twenty yards around to temporarily pile up these supplies. All the treasures in the warehouse were transferred to those yards, and they would be transferred outside the city after dark tomorrow and sent back to the defense zone."

After receiving the news that the National Salvation Army had won Jinzhong for the second time, the Chief of Staff was in a particularly complicated mood.

When the National Salvation Army blackmailed the Japanese through fake cooperation, the war zone was ready to sue the Japanese.

As a result, the situation of the war turned around. The National Salvation Army took the opportunity to take over the Jinzhong County where the Japanese and puppet troops were heavily defended. The Bingfeng pointed directly to Taiyuan. One battle broke the rumors that the National Salvation Army wanted to surrender to the Japanese, and also showed the outside world the powerful combat effectiveness of the National Salvation Army.

Although Jinzhong is also a county town, it guards the east gate of Taiyuan and has a very important geographical location and has always been operated by the Japanese as a military center.

The National Salvation Army was able to regain this military center from the Japanese, and the Bingfeng pointed directly to Taiyuan, which brought great influence.

But the war zone was not happy after receiving this telegram of victory.

The headquarters has always suppressed the national rescue army. It regards the national rescue army as a knife in the hands of the war zone, uses the Japanese to consume the national rescue army, and even eliminates the national rescue army. At the same time, it also uses the hands of the national rescue army to consume the Japanese and puppet troops and reduces the combat pressure in the war zone.

As a result, the National Salvation Army did kill many Japanese and puppet troops, but the National Salvation Army's strength was not weakened in the battle. Instead, it became stronger and stronger, and it also had a huge influence in the battle.

If the war zone sends them a commendation telegram at this time and recognizes their results, it will definitely further increase their influence. This is a result that the war zone will definitely not want to see.

So the war zone ignored the victory.

Not only that, this victory quickly faded out of everyone's sight under the intentional suppression of the war zone.

What the war zone did not expect was that the National Salvation Army was so strong that it could capture Jinzhong for a second time.

If the National Salvation Army captured Jinzhong for the first time, luck accounted for a large part. The second capture of Jinzhong county town had nothing to do with luck.

In order to build Jinzhong County into a bridgehead and logistics base for the Japanese and puppet troops to attack the National Salvation Army, the Japanese and puppet troops stationed seven or eight thousand people in Jinzhong County.

The Chief of Staff of the War Zone is well aware of this information.

Even so, the National Salvation Army still relies on its own strength to capture the Jinzhong County, which shows that the National Salvation Army is not only strong in combat, but also has the strong ability to attack important military cities.

This is definitely bad news for the battle zone.

Moreover, after the National Salvation Army took over Jinzhong for the first time, the war zone deliberately did not send a commendation telegram in order to suppress the limelight of the National Salvation Army.

If the war zone continues to ignore this victory tonight, it will definitely cause more criticisms.

So the war zone has to face a dilemma.

In order to avoid criticism from the war zone, we had to send commendation telegrams to the national rescue army, and even give them some material commendation.

But in this way, the development momentum and influence of the National Salvation Army will definitely become greater and greater, which is completely contrary to the war zone's plan to use the Japanese to consume the national Salvation Army's strength...

The Chief of Staff thought about it for a long time but couldn't make a decision. He could only hold the good news and frowned and entered the commander-in-chief's office.

After half an hour, he came out and then his frown stretched out.

More than half an hour later, the war zone commendation telegram appeared in Zhou Cheng's hands.

After seeing this, Chen Zhengyu was so angry that his eyes turned red, and he gritted his teeth and cursed: "Captain, the war zone is too much. Even if we are cannon fodder, there is no need to be so obvious! This order clearly treats Jinzhong County as a meat grinder that consumes our national rescue army and destroys us with the hands of the Japanese."

"If we execute the order, we will definitely sacrifice thousands of soldiers here!"

"I would rather not have the commendation telegrams and the war zone's commendation materials than watch thousands of soldiers die in Jinzhong County!"

Zhou Cheng kept frowning and didn't respond, and no one knew what he was thinking.

Chen Zhengyu became more and more anxious as he waited, fearing that the leader of the group agreed and was about to speak out again, Zhou Cheng finally moved.

Putting the telegram on the table, looking at Chen Zhengyu with a serious look on his face, "Chief of Staff, how many medicines are there in the regiment headquarters? How many medicines have we seized when we attacked Jinzhong County?"

Chen Zhengyu was puzzled for a moment and didn't understand why the team leader asked him this question, but he still answered conscientiously.

"There are not many drugs left in the regiment. We used a large amount of drugs in the last battle between the Japanese army and the gas bombs against us. The remaining drugs can support up to a thousand minor and serious wounded people. If they face them, they are all seriously injured, and up to four hundred people!"

"As for the capture, it's strange this time!"

"In addition to seizing some emergency medicines from the hands of the Japanese and puppet troops, their arsenals and material warehouses did not seize any medicines."

"We probably think this is the Japanese who deliberately did not deliver the medicine to the county town in advance to prevent us!"

Zhou Cheng refused to comment: "If I were the Japanese commander, I would not have stored the medicine in Jinzhong County in advance."

"Then the baby's things are very light in weight. In order to prevent accidents, the Japanese will definitely carry them with the army!"
