Chapter 365 A lot of ammunition
Zhang Yunfei looked at everyone, then smiled and said, "Old Xiao, have your Eighth Route Army arranged any arrangements? The unloading is about to start."
"Commander-General Zhang, don't worry, we have arranged everything we should arrange, the personnel are already in place, and now we can unload the goods." Comrade Xiao Zhengguang next to him immediately said respectfully.
Now, Comrade Xiao Zhengguang also deeply admires Zhang Yunfei. It was a big surprise to Comrade Xiao Zhengguang that Zhang Yunfei was able to develop the 36th Army and the Datong Base in such a short period of about two years.
Comrade Xiao Zhengguang knew that the 36th Army had advanced and sophisticated weapons and equipment, but he did not expect that the 36th Army would even have such advanced aircraft equipped.
If Comrade Xiao Zhengguang admired Zhang Yunfei in the past, now Comrade Xiao Zhengguang admired Zhang Yunfei, so in the words just now, Comrade Xiao Zhengguang was filled with a hint of respect.
At this time, the cabin door of a plane's cab opened and several pilots came out. The pilots quickly walked towards Zhang Yunfei. Zhang Yunfei saw that among the pilots, the flight captain Gao Zhihang was walking in the front. Zhang Yunfei couldn't help but smiled slightly at Gao Zhihang.
In the telegram, Zhang Yunfei only asked Gao Zhihang to be responsible for airlifting weapons and ammunition to Jinsha Town. Unexpectedly, Gao Zhihang came to Jinsha Town in person this time.
Gao Zhihang strode to Zhang Yunfei, stood attentively, saluted a military salute, and then said loudly: "Report to the commander-in-chief, the four transport aircraft of the Flight Brigade are loaded with weapons and ammunition, and safely reach the Jinsha Town Airport. Please instruct."
Zhang Yunfei said seriously: "Open the hatch door immediately and start unloading the goods."
"Yes!" Gao Zhihang replied loudly, then saluted, turned around and headed towards the planes, and ordered the pilots to open the hatch door and prepare to unload the cargo.
The huge cabin doors at the tails of the four aircraft slowly opened, and the huge cabin was displayed in front of everyone. All the Eighth Route Army comrades looked at the spacious cabin and couldn't believe their eyes.
Such a large cabin and such a large cabin can easily drive in even a large truck. These transport vehicles can transport armored vehicles. When it is allowed to transport large trucks.
Zhang Yunfei looked at the Eighth Route Army comrades around him, a little shocked, and did not come back to his senses, and smiled indifferently. Comrade Xiao Zhengguang next to him was also a little shocked just now, but as the deputy chief of staff of the Eighth Route Army, his mental quality is much better than other Eighth Route Army comrades.
Comrade Xiao Zhengguang saw Zhang Yunfei's smile and immediately remembered that his current main task was to unload the weapons and equipment in these aircraft. The aircraft of the 36th Army will be back later.
So Comrade Xiao Zhengguang said loudly: "Comrades, don't be stunned anymore. Everyone hurry up and move all the weapons and ammunition in the plane."
Hearing the shouts of his deputy chief of staff, the comrades of the Eighth Route Army came to their senses, and everyone immediately divided the work in advance. With excitement and awe, they walked into the cabin with excitement.
When they arrived inside the plane, many soldiers were not in a hurry to carry boxes of weapons and ammunition on the plane, but looked at the inside of the plane first. These soldiers were like Liu Laolao entering the Grand View Garden, curious about everything.
Some soldiers also touched here and there, and were amazed. It took several minutes before the soldiers began to untie the ropes tied to boxes and began to carry out these weapons and ammunition boxes.
A soldier carrying a box of bullets said to a squad leader of the Eighth Route Army next to him: "Squad Leader, what do you think are you pretending to be here? You are so deadly."
The squad leader looked at the military green wooden box with white handwriting printed on it, and then said, "Xiao Shi, this is a box of Type 38 rifle bullets. Do you know how many bullets there are in this box? A whole thousand bullets."
Upon hearing this, the Eighth Route Army soldier named Xiaoshi was secretly shocked and thought to himself, "My good dear, a whole thousand bullets." This soldier thought about the pitiful dozen bullets in his bullet bag."
It's really awesome for people to compare people. You have to throw them over and over. Look at the 36th Army, the bullets are all in one box and one box. I have been in the army for more than a year, but I have never seen such a large box of bullets.
Thinking of this, this Eighth Route Army soldier named Xiaoshi couldn't help but feel discouraged.
The Eighth Route Army squad leader next to him, seeing that Xiaoshi was still very happy just now, began to sigh as soon as he brought the box of bullets. The squad leader couldn't help but feel strange, but immediately, the Eighth Route Army squad leader figured out the reason.
The squad leader of the Eighth Route Army couldn't help but feel funny, so he smiled and said, "Xiao Shi, why are you sighing? These bullets are Commander-in-Chief Zhang's support for our Eighth Route Army. You should be happy."
After hearing the squad leader's words, the soldier named Xiaoshi's eyes lit up and he thought to himself, Yes, these bullets are our own, I should be happy too. Immediately, a bright smile appeared on the soldier's face again.
The soldiers carried these ammunition boxes outwards one by one. The ammunition was gradually piled up into a hill on the flat ground not far away. Those soldiers who did not participate in the transport saw so much ammunition and the comrades of the Eighth Route Army who had been used to hard life could not calm down for a long time.
Comrade Xiao Zhengguang, deputy chief of staff of the Eighth Route Army, also looked at the ammunition happily and said to Zhang Yunfei excitedly: "Commander-in-Chief Zhang, there are a lot of weapons and ammunition brought this time."
Zhang Yunfei smiled calmly and said, "Old Xiao, this time we shipped all ammunition, 500,000 rounds of 6.5mm and 7.92mm bullets, 1,000 boxes of grenades, and 4 planes were loaded. The second round, we will transport weapons and equipment."
Upon hearing this, Comrade Xiao Zhengguang, who represented the Eighth Route Army receiving weapons and ammunition here, smiled so hard that he couldn't stop, and his joy could not be described in words.
The leader, political commissar, chief of staff, deputy commander and others next to him were shocked when they saw so much ammunition transported in one go. They didn't think about it, but they didn't think about it, and they were transported in one go 1 million bullets and 1,000 boxes of grenades.
All of these grenades are wooden handle grenades. From the appearance, they are somewhat similar to the "Border Area-made" grenades used by the Eighth Route Army, but their power is much more powerful than the "Border Area-made" produced by the Eighth Route Army.
The grenade brought this time is also called the "39-type wooden handle grenade". This wooden handle grenade uses a cast iron body, with a total mass of 600g, a diameter of 48mm, a total length of 204mm, and a main charge of 38gtnt, which can produce 70 to 110 pieces, with an effective killing radius of 7m, and the broken piece still has the killing power outside the explosion point 20m.
Such a killing effect is much stronger than those "border area-making" that basically exploded in half. So, in the subsequent Hundred Regiments War, many Eighth Route Army soldiers regarded these grenades as treasures. In the private transactions of the soldiers, a 39-type wooden handle grenade could be easily replaced with several "border area-making" grenades.
This time, a thousand boxes of such grenades were shipped, with 50 pieces in one box. A box of grenades, including its wooden packaging box, had a net weight of nearly 30 kilograms.
Hundreds of Eighth Route Army soldiers kept moving, and more ammunition was brought down from the plane, and more and more were piled up on the flat ground not far away. An hour later, the ammunition on the plane was unloaded by the soldiers.
The hatch doors of these four transport aircraft began to slowly close. As soon as the Mustang fighter arrived, these transport aircraft would return to Datong. However, the Mustang fighter aircraft that were receiving should be coming soon.
Sure enough, in less than twenty minutes, six Mustang fighters that were supporting appeared over the airport. The four transport planes began to glide one by one and then took off. Although large swaths of dust were raised due to the reason of the trip, all the planes still successfully rose to the blue sky. In the air, after all the planes completed the formation, they began to go to Datong.
Watching the plane leave, Zhang Yunfei smiled and said to Comrade Xiao Zhengguang: "Old Xiao, now you can arrange your various transportation teams to break the ammunition into pieces and transport them to the bases of various brigades and regiments."
Zhang Yunfei urged the Eighth Route Army so quickly to transport these ammunitions because the second batch of transport aircraft should have taken off from Datong Airport and will arrive at Jinsha Town Airport in no time.
To transport these weapons and ammunition, multiple batches of transport aircraft are used to transport weapons and ammunition to Jinsha Town in turn. About every two or three hours, a batch of transport aircraft is full of ammunition.
Therefore, the Eighth Route Army had to transport these ammunition to various units as soon as possible, otherwise, if the Japanese reconnaissance planes were discovered, it would be more troublesome if the Japanese sent a team of bombers to bomb.
Now, the airport's early warning radar has not been established, and air defense weapons have not been set up. With these rifles and a small number of machine guns from the Eighth Route Army, it is impossible to defend against air.
Seeing Zhang Yunfei urging, Comrade Xiao Zhengguang also said happily: "Yes, everyone will be arranged to deliver it soon."
A few days ago, when Zhang Yunfei decided to build an airport in Jinsha Town and was preparing to transport most of his weapons and ammunition to Jinsha Town, the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army sent a telegram to the three main divisions, asking the three main divisions to immediately order each brigade, regiment, and even battalions to immediately send a transport team to Jinsha Town to transport weapons and ammunition, and transport the part of his troops back to his base.
The troops who received the order were also very happy and immediately sent out a lot of transportation teams, ranging from a dozen people to two or thirty people, from all over North China, bypassing the Japanese towns and roads, crossing the vast rural areas, and rushing towards Jinsha Town.
Although each transport team has a small number of people, the number of transport teams is large, and each unit has sent a lot of transport teams, and the total number of these transport teams is probably hundreds, or even thousands.
