Chapter 1226 Huang Yu wants to take the initiative
Huang Yu replied with a smile: "Captain Zhang, I came here in such a hurry just for those heavy weapons."
"Don't look at us as a lightly-armed infantry. We are not even equipped with a mountain cannon."
"But in order to give the troops the strength to fight decisively with the main force of the Japanese and puppet troops, and also to defend the Peking Airport and Tianjin Pier that we worked so hard to win."
"I have a lot of artillery and chariot troops hidden in the team."
"They are all elite veterans drawn from the special forces regiment and the heavy artillery regiment. Give them equipment and they can use it immediately."
"With them here, and now that we have captured a sufficient amount of equipment, we can raise an armored regiment and a heavy artillery regiment here without any problem."
While Huang Yu was talking, Duan Peng led a few people to catch up.
"Report to the deputy chief of staff..." Several cadres following Duan Peng saluted at the same time and reported.
"Guan Shan, commander of the 1st Battalion of the Heavy Artillery Regiment, Chen Tie, commander of the 2nd Battalion... Zhou Bingtao, deputy commander of the 1st Armored Battalion of the Special Forces Regiment, Li Wenshan, commander of the 2nd Battalion..."
"I was ordered to come and report."
Huang Yu patted their shoulders and replied: "You guys came in too time..."
"Come on, come with me to get the equipment. They are all just made by the little devils. They haven't had time to use them themselves. Now they are all taking advantage of us..."
"By the way, tell me how many people each of you brings from the old army and how many heavy weapons you can equip."
Guan Shan, commander of the 1st Battalion of the Heavy Artillery Regiment, was the first to speak: "I have brought a hundred gunners. If the deputy chief of staff can provide me with some ammunition men, it will definitely be no problem to equip thirty heavy artillery."
"But the prerequisite is that all these heavy artillery must be transported by cars. Otherwise, no matter how powerful you are, I won't be able to drag one or two thousand kilograms of artillery."
Huang Yu nodded and then turned his attention to Chen Tie: "Report to the deputy chief of staff..."
"I brought one hundred and twenty gunners..."
"If the commander can allocate me some ammunition and cars, I will definitely be able to equip them with forty artillery pieces."
Huang Yu finally turned his attention to the two battalion commanders and deputy battalion commanders from the special forces: "What about you..."
Zhou Bingtao was the first to speak: "Report to the commander, the armored troops I brought can equip twenty tanks and armored vehicles."
"If the main force can support some of our machine gunners and gunners, it is also possible to equip thirty tanks and armored vehicles."
Second Battalion Commander Li Wenshan added: "The armored troops I brought can also be equipped with thirty tanks and armored vehicles..."
The more Huang Yu listened, the bigger the smile on his face became, and he said happily.
"Wait a while and I will arm you all. Our more than 3,000 light infantry will immediately become 3,000 heavily armed troops."
"Not only can we defend Peiping Airport and Tianjin Pier, we can also take the initiative to kill the Japanese and puppet troops returning from Bazhou, so that they can no longer threaten our security."
The more Huang Yu thought about it, the more he felt that this matter was very feasible.
A decision was made on the spot: "Let's do it..."
"The assault company will set off immediately... to find the Japanese and puppet troops who may be returning from Bazhou to support Peking Airport and Tianjin Pier. Then keep an eye on them and report their specific locations to me at any time."
"When we are ready, we will give them a head-on blow on the only road they must pass."
…………
It's still fifteen kilometers away from Bazhou on the highway.
Li Yunlong was marching forward with the heavy artillery regiment, special forces regiment, cavalry battalion, and heavy baggage regiment...
Compared with the rapid march of 30 kilometers an hour when we first set off, the current team can cover seven or eight kilometers an hour, which is pretty good.
"Rumble..."
The sound of horse hooves suddenly sounded in front of the team. Li Yunlong was sitting in the passenger seat of the car. He looked up and saw a cavalryman rushing towards him in a hurry: "Chief..."
"There are Japanese and puppet troops destroying the road five kilometers ahead. The Japanese and puppet troops have been eliminated by us. We need engineers to build the road ahead..."
"Damn..." Li Yunlong frowned, opened his mouth and began to curse.
"In the past, I was the one who destroyed the roads and slowed down the march of the Japanese and puppet troops."
"Today, it was all the other way around. I'm really not used to it."
After sighing with emotion, he ordered to his subordinates: "I agree to dispatch engineers to build roads in front, but we must strengthen our vigilance to prevent the Japanese and puppet troops from sneak attacks on our engineers and soldiers."
"In the past, we often used this trick to slow down the speed of road construction by the Japanese and puppet troops. We cannot rule out the possibility that they will retaliate in kind."
"Anyway, our mission is to attract Okamura Neji's attention and buy time for Xiao Huang to raid Peking Airport and Tianjin Pier. We are not in a hurry."
"The troops will get wet if they move slowly. There is no need to take risks."
As soon as the cavalry correspondent left, the operator's voice reached his ears from the carriage behind him: "Chief..."
"Deputy Chief of Staff Huang has an urgent message... They have taken over Peking Airport and Tianjin Pier, and are arming latent troops..."
"The telegram also said that... they plan to take the initiative to kill the Japanese and puppet troops that Okamura Neji transferred to Bazhou to intercept us, and eliminate them on their way back to Peking Airport and Tianjin Pier."
"Let us not be in a hurry and hurry up, so as not to overwhelm the Japanese and puppet troops who are returning to support Peiping Airport and Tianjin Pier."
"They seized a large amount of weapons and ammunition at the Tianjin dock, enough to arm a heavy artillery regiment and a tank regiment. They must have made a mistake in destroying the Japanese and puppet troops' returning reinforcements."
"Have you taken it now?" Li Yunlong took the telegram and asked with wide eyes and disbelief on his face.
"They launched the attack on time at one o'clock in the morning, and now it's three o'clock in the morning..."
"The battle will end in two hours."
"I thought it would be difficult to get to Peiping Airport and Tianjin Pier, but I didn't expect it to be so easy for Xiao Huang to take them down."
“It’s just God helping me.”
"Pass me an order...the troops must be more vigilant during the next march, do not advance alone, and do not give the Japanese and puppet troops any chance to sneak attack on us."
"Xiao Huang has more than 3,000 elite troops in his hands, including heavy artillery and heavy artillery, tanks and chariots, and a guerrilla brigade to help out."
"With the few troops Okamura Neji has at his disposal, it is completely impossible for him to be his opponent."
"wrong……"
"From now on, Beiping Airport belongs to us too."
"This guy also brought a lot of pilots to Peiping...Now that they have robbed Peiping Airport, they must have robbed a lot of planes as well."
"When those planes take off with ammunition, our troops can still receive air support..."
"All the reconnaissance troops were sent out to closely monitor every move of the Japanese and puppet troops around Beiping and Tianjin to prevent Okamura Neji from deploying troops from the surrounding areas to reinforce Beiping Airport and Tianjin Pier."
"At the same time, forward the telegram sent by Xiao Huang to Kong Jie and the former enemy headquarters."
"The attack target has been captured, and they can start taking action."
"We must drag down the Japanese and puppet troops operating around Pingjin and Tianjin. We must not allow the Japanese and puppet troops to enter the battlefield one by one to buy us time to transfer the loot."
