Is the Yuebei Military Region planning to attack the 29th Division?
Why do they have such confidence? It’s not because of the Yanbei detachment and Wutaishan detachment!
Both detachments have now undergone a large-scale change of uniforms.
Lots of heavy weapons.
Plenty of ammunition!
It just soared into the sky!
How did they get their weapons and equipment? I gave them to them.
It is estimated that Commander Yang must be thinking that as long as Zhang Chu is here, changing clothes will not be a problem.
That's it.
He happens to be restricted now.
There are less than 1,000 upgrades left. Unless you complete a mandatory mission.
However, the Japanese 29th Division was advancing all the way.
It's impossible for him to attack Yangquan Railway Station at this time, right?
Huh?
wrong!
Now is a good opportunity!
The Japanese invaders focused their attention on Cangyunling, Fanxian, and Ping'an counties. Even the main force stationed in Taiyuan was transferred out.
If I suddenly appeared at Yangquan Railway Station...
According to previous intelligence, the Japanese invaders stationed at Yangquan Railway Station were also in a large group.
As long as you have enough troops and move quickly...
"Captain Ding!"
"What's up?"
"Give me three hundred people."
"do what?"
"I'm going to Yangquan Railway Station."
"Yangquan Railway Station?"
"right!"
"What to do?"
"There's something important."
Zhang Chu didn't say it clearly.
This matter cannot be discussed in too much detail.
"If you want more weapons and equipment, you must capture Yangquan Railway Station."
"Is three hundred people enough?"
"Almost! How many people can you give me?"
"Five hundred!"
Ding Wei thought briefly.
The order from above was to postpone the attack on Fan County and attract the arrival of the 29th Division.
In other words, the Yanbei detachment and the Wutaishan detachment have no combat missions for the time being. Therefore, there is no problem in redeploying 500 people.
The reason why there are only 500 people is to consider the issue of marching.
After all, it is several hundred miles away. It is a long-distance attack. The large number of people will slow down the march.
As for whether five hundred people are enough...
It's definitely not enough.
The Japanese invaders stationed an infantry brigade at Yangquan Railway Station. There were also a large number of Japanese invaders stationed nearby.
Once a fight breaks out, reinforcements from the Japanese invaders will arrive quickly.
How to deal with it?
It must have relied on local armed forces.
You have Japanese invaders, and we in the Eighth Route Army also have people. Moreover, we will always have more people than you.
Around the train station, you Japanese invaders can gather 2,000 people. Our Eighth Route Army can gather at least 4,000 people. Or even 6,000 or 8,000 people.
There are so many people in the competition, I’ve never been afraid!
As for the level of weapons and equipment of local armed forces...
This is what happened to Zhang Chu.
rest assured.
Zhang Chu will turn decay into something magical.
"Consultant Zhang, are you going to Yangquan Railway Station?" Han Bing suddenly asked.
"Yes." Zhang Chu nodded.
"I am coming too."
"what are you going to do?"
"I'm very familiar with that place. I can help you."
"Yeah?"
"certainly!"
Han Bing is very confident.
She said that she had put on makeup and entered Yangquan Railway Station many times to conduct reconnaissance.
He even rescued people from inside.
There are also many comrades from our party lurking in the current Yangquan Railway Station.
"Thanks!"
Zhang Chu agreed.
If Han Bing wants to follow, just follow.
Until the Kuomintang and the Communist Party break up, she should be useful.
Ding Wei immediately mobilized his troops.
Five hundred experienced soldiers were mobilized to form three commando teams.
Each commando team is the size of a company.
Weapons are mainly light weapons to speed up the march.
What to do with heavy weapons?
Let’s talk about it when we get to the train station. With Zhang Chu here, are you worried about not having heavy equipment?
Others continued to be responsible for the siege of Fanxian County, feigning attacks from time to time.
Zhang Chu circled the battlefield.
Everything that can be recycled has been automatically recycled.
In previous battles with Japanese aircraft, our army sacrificed more than 130 people in total. More than 200 people were injured.
It must be said that the Japanese aircraft were indeed a very deadly threat.
Fortunately, they were completely defeated.
The weapons and equipment were not damaged too much.
Because the weapons of the Japanese fighter jets were 7.7mm machine guns, it was difficult to destroy anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns.
On the contrary, the Deshka heavy machine gun fired too fast, causing a large number of barrels to be scrapped.
I was so excited before that I didn't care about the life or death of the barrel. Only now do I realize I regret it.
"Consultant Zhang?"
"knew."
Zhang Chu then reconfigured 200 gun barrels.
1,000 yuan each. The total is 200,000 yuan. Oh, fortunately, I can afford it.
Six Japanese fighter jets were recovered. Each one costs 10 million. The total is 60 million.
The problem now is no longer money. It's the number of upgrades.
Upgrading a manual rifle to a semi-automatic rifle also consumes one upgrade. Upgrading a grenade to a mortar also consumes one upgrade. So the latter is definitely a good deal!
Light weapons can be captured. But heavy weapons must be upgraded.
If you simply upgrade the rifle, all the upgrade times will be consumed very quickly. Therefore, from now on, you must upgrade selectively.
I guess this is also what the system means.
You don't want to scratch your eyebrows and beard.
You have to focus on the key points.
What does our Eighth Route Army lack?
There is no shortage of rifles now. What is lacking is heavy weapons.
To be precise, they are mortars, infantry guns, field guns, cannons, howitzers...
Planes and tanks are something I can’t even think about for the time being.
…
"chief of staff!"
Yoshio Shinozuka finally spoke.
Saito Saburo hurriedly walked in.
I was secretly worried inside.
The other party actually called me Chief of Staff instead of Saito-kun. This shows that something is not right.
Since receiving the news that the aviation force lost six aircraft, Yoshio Shinozuka has been silent for five hours. The commander of the First Army has also been silent for five hours. No one dared to make any noise. Even breathing
Cautiously, for fear of disturbing the commander's meditation.
"Your Excellency Commander..."
"When will Major General Miyano arrive?"
"Report to Your Majesty the Commander, the day after tomorrow!"
"Pay attention to strengthening precautions along the road to avoid accidents."
"Tie!"
Saburo Saito agreed.
Then I felt a little confused. Is this what the commander is worried about?
Major General Miyano's safety on the road should be no problem.
There are a large number of Japanese troops stationed along the way. There are also cavalry regiments cruising back and forth. There are also armored trains clearing the way.
In fact, if you are worried about problems, you can take a plane instead!
It only takes two or three hours to fly from Peking to Taiyuan. How fast!
I don't understand why Miyano just takes the train.
Is it because of fear of heights?
"You can go to Yangquan Station to greet me on my behalf!"
"Tie!"
"Prepare a small gift."
"Tie!"
Saburo Saito agreed one by one.
The so-called thin gift is of course not really a thin gift.
It's antique calligraphy and painting, antique treasures, etc. In short, it can't be money. But it must be very valuable.
If you give money as a gift, you will be criticized. Major General Miyano will definitely not dare to accept it. However, if it is antiques, calligraphy, paintings, rare antiques, etc., then there is no scruples.
Almost all senior Japanese generals like to be arty, which is an unspoken rule within the military.
Hideki Tojo is like this.
Itagaki Seishiro is like this.
Even that "idiot" Sugiyama Moto is like this.
Historic Nishio, Yoshijiro Umezu and others even semi-disclosed their collections, all of which are priceless.
But when it comes to giving gifts this time...
Even if Yoshio Shinozuka didn't remind him, Saburo Saito would be ready.
This is customary.
But the commander specifically mentioned it, which means...
This gift must be carefully prepared. It must satisfy Major General Miyano. It must make Major General Miyano willing to put in a good word for the First Army.
The current First Army is indeed having a hard time. If Miyano refuses to help smooth things over, the next days will be difficult.
However, if Miyano is willing to help talk, the matter is not that serious.
In a word, the First Army was under-strength.
The total number is only about 80,000 people. How many people are there on Tuba Road? More than 200,000 people!
In addition to the 200,000 to 300,000 Jinsui Army and the 200,000 people in the National Army's First Theater Zone stationed in Zhongtiao Mountain, the Japanese First Army had to face more than 600,000 Chinese troops!
80,000 vs 600,000…
Failure is a crime other than war.
If possible, I hope to be able to recruit several more independent mixed brigades...
It would be better if it were a division...
"In addition, order the Yamamoto special agent team to step up operations!"
"Be sure to investigate the source of weapons and ammunition on Tubal Road in the shortest possible time! And eliminate them!"
Yoshio Shinozuka looked serious.
He has found the key to the problem. It is the airdrop from Tubal Road.
Must be destroyed immediately!
"Tie!"
Saburo Saito solemnly agreed.
This Yamamoto special agent team seems to have no sound at all recently?
I don't know where I was hiding and what I was doing.
With the Commander's orders, it's time to get out and do some activities!
If you don’t work and just get money, how can such a good thing happen?
The other troops are fighting hard, but you are the only one enjoying leisure?
But, having said that, the Yamamoto Special Agent Team only has a team of several hundred people, so what can it do?
despise……
"Report!"
"The Fifth Independent Mixed Brigade Retakes Fanzhuang Station!"
The communications staff came to report.
Saburo Saito finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Finally some good news has arrived.
Recover Fanzhuang Station.
The next step is Ping'an County.
Damn Tubal Road!
Hope they didn't run so fast!
It’s best to fight the imperial army in Ping’an County! The imperial army will just wipe it out in one fell swoop!
With this in mind, Saburo Saito decisively ordered:
"Order the frontline troops to speed up and advance!"
