Kong Jie was also very moved. He had seen the powerful combat effectiveness of armored vehicles.
If the Independent Regiment really equips their troops and uses them to fight the Japanese at critical moments, it will definitely be something that people look forward to.
But after thinking about it, he gave up and shook his head helplessly: "Such a good weapon, I also want to drag it back to equip the troops!"
"It's a pity that there is no oil in the base area. The armored vehicles need to burn oil to move... and dragging them back is just a pile of scrap metal!"
"We don't have soldiers who can drive armored vehicles. This place is dozens of kilometers away from the base area. It's impossible for the soldiers to push back!"
"We mainly fight guerrilla warfare and mobile warfare, often drilling into ravines... Armored vehicles rely too much on roads. If they are really equipped with troops, it will be counterproductive and affect the mobility of the troops..."
"Where are the armored vehicles... Commander, I heard that the troops have seized several armored vehicles... Let me see quickly, I can drive an armored vehicle..." Huang Yu's voice suddenly sounded outside the yard.
He ran into the yard and stared at three brand-new armored vehicles, even ignoring Kong Jie beside him.
He opened the cab door, checked the cockpit, ran to the back to check the vehicle weapons, and then rushed to Kong Jie to report.
"Commander, these three armored vehicles are definitely weapons for killing Japanese invaders. They are all new. We must get them back and equip the troops!"
"I just checked, the cab and the on-board weapons are in good condition, and they can be used after refueling!"
"I can drive this kind of armored vehicle... You give these three armored vehicles to the assault platoon, and I promise to drive them back to the base!"
Kong Jie frowned and asked, "When did you learn to drive an armored vehicle? Why didn't I know?"
Huang Yu once again pushed these unexplainable things to the old political commissar: "It was the political commissar who taught me..."
"I once went to the headquarters for a meeting. There was a car at the headquarters, so I learned it easily!"
"I just saw that the Japs' wheeled armored vehicles are similar to cars... I can drive a car, so naturally I can also drive an armored car. Commander, please rest assured..."
"Wei Dayong, the squad leader of the assault platoon, can also drive a car..."
"Among the prisoners of war we rescued from the Zhuma Village stronghold, some of them should be able to drive a car... If I can't find a driver, I can find two smarter soldiers to teach on the spot. Driving is easy to learn, and it will definitely be no problem to simply drive back to the base area.
!”
Kong Jie insisted on his previous opinion, shook his head and replied: "It's useless to drive back!"
"I just explained to Captain Li of the Guard Company... Our Eighth Route Army has been drilling into ravines and walking on mountain roads all year round. Armored vehicles rely too much on roads. The equipment troops will constrain us and affect the mobility of the troops, which is counterproductive!"
"We have no oil supply in our base area, and we can't move back if we get it back, so we'd better not waste the effort!"
Huang Yu didn't think so and insisted on his own opinion: "Captain, there are armored vehicles in Yangquan City, and they must have supporting fuel. Let's take them back to the base together, and the armored vehicles can participate in the battle at any time."
"He is indeed very dependent on roads, but we do not involve them in every battle."
"Hide it after you get it back to the base, and then use it to attack the Japs when there's a big battle. If an armored vehicle kills an infantry squad, our hard work will be in vain!"
"If you really don't have a chance to fight the Japanese, the armored vehicles are not useless!"
"The engine can be disassembled and sent to the arsenal to be used as power, the vehicle-mounted weapons can be disassembled to equip the troops, and the most common protective steel plates can also be sent to the arsenal to be made into bayonets."
"An armored vehicle is equipped with a small cannon and three vehicle-mounted heavy machine guns..."
"Get back to the base area, and you can form a fire company with just the dismantled equipment!"
Captain Li of the security company wanted to get the three armored vehicles back to the base and equip them with the independent regiment.
Seeing that Huang Yu also had this idea, he quickly stood up and supported: "Captain, I agree with Staff Huang's analysis!"
"When we get it back, one armored vehicle can kill half an infantry squad and we'll make a lot of money... Three small cannons and nine truck-mounted heavy machine guns. This is a business without money..."
"If the assault platoon cannot get back, the guard company can allocate a platoon to help them..."
Kong Jie had a blind trust in Huang Yu. Since he said yes, it would be no problem. He nodded immediately: "Then I will hand over these three armored vehicles to the assault platoon... How to deal with it is your business. I hope
They can really surprise me in future battles!"
"By the way, didn't you go to attack the arsenal? Why did you come back so soon? I didn't seem to hear any gunshots coming from the arsenal. Did there be an accident during your attack?"
When it came to business, Huang Yu immediately put away the smile on his face and replied seriously: "Report to the leader, I'm here to tell you the good news!"
"The assault platoon forced the defenders to surrender and successfully captured the arsenal..."
"I took a look into the ammunition depot and I was so scared that I almost lost my balance..."
"I have been a soldier for such a long time and have visited several arsenals. I have never seen one so big. All kinds of weapons and ammunition are piled up like hills..."
"You'd better go and see for yourself, you'll definitely be shocked too!"
Kong Jie's appetite has long been grabbed by Huang Yuyang, and ordinary weapons and ammunition have long been disdainful.
Today, we encountered an arsenal that shocked even Huang Yu. The seizures inside must have been astonishing.
Lift your legs and walk toward the arsenal...
No, he should have trotted over and ordered as he ran: "We'll go there now!"
"Let a battalion of new recruits join the Japanese brigade headquarters and continue to clean the battlefield and take away everything they can!"
"Focus on checking the room of the leader of the Japanese Brigade to see if there are any secret rooms or cracks. The Fourth Mixed Brigade has been stationed in Yangquan for almost two years. The leader of the brigade must have gained a lot of wealth. We must find it out!"
From the appearance point of view, the Yangquan ammunition depot is several times larger than any ammunition depot Kong Jie has seen before, and it is also particularly strong.
The door is a heavy iron door, and the brick wall is more than a foot thick...
Entering the ammunition depot, the first thing you see is rows of neatly stacked ammunition boxes...
As Huang Yu reported before: piles of ammunition boxes were neatly stacked on the ground, as high as a person, and they really looked like hills.
Ammunition boxes of different sizes were piled together. Kong Jie took a quick glance and saw that there were at least ten boxes of different sizes in the ammunition depot.
"Bring one box of each kind over here and see what's inside?" Kong Jie ordered, suppressing his excitement.
The nearest long box was pried open first...
Opening up the thatch covering the surface, five brand-new Sanba covers were neatly placed inside...
After another, larger, long wooden box was pried open, there were actually two crooked handle parts inside.
They are all brand new and exude a strong smell of gun oil. They are ready to use after being assembled.
"Commander, there are heavy machine guns here... What's in the box is a heavy machine gun!" A soldier shouted with surprise on his face!
"This box contains mortars..."
"Is mine a cannonball... or a mountain cannon shell..."
Five minutes later, Kong Jie's face was already blooming with joy, and his mouth was so happy that he could hardly close his mouth. He patted Huang Yu on the shoulder and said with emotion: "Counsel Huang... these trophies are all your credit!"
"If you hadn't proposed the idea of attacking Yangquan, we wouldn't have been able to capture such a large arsenal!"
"With them, not only will the independent regiment no longer have to worry about ammunition in the next year, but the entire 386th Brigade will benefit!"
"Our independent group will definitely become famous this time, and it's all thanks to your kid."
After saying that, Captain Li of the security company ran over with a smile on his face, holding the list of weapons and ammunition that had just been counted in his hand. When he saw Kong Jie, he reported: "Captain, the bulk of weapons and ammunition in the warehouse have been counted!"
"A total of six mortars, six heavy machine guns, eighteen light machine guns, six hundred three-eight guns..."
"The real big deal is ammunition..."
"In all my years of fighting, I have never seen so much ammunition at one time!"
"There are a total of 900 mountain artillery shells, 2,000 infantry artillery shells, 9,000 mortar shells, 2.4 million rifle machine gun bullets, 200,000 heavy machine gun bullets, 50,000 grenades, and 8,000
Special grenades for grenades, 20,000 rounds of pistol ammunition, 5,000 kilograms of yellow explosive..."
"There are also 79-caliber bullets used by some puppet troops. Although they are not as good as the 65-caliber bullets, they still have 100,000 rounds..."
"We've made a fortune. The Independent Group has really made a fortune this time!" Kong Jie was already excited and speechless.
But he was a very steady leader. He walked around twice in front of everyone with his hands behind his back and then calmed down: "Don't be too happy, everyone. We haven't won this raid yet."
"Yangquan is located in an enemy-occupied area. Only by transporting all the weapons and ammunition here back to the defense area can it truly belong to us."
"If it cannot be transported back, it will either be taken back by the Japanese reinforcements or destroyed by their planes!"
"Although the baggage company and the cavalry company are equipped with two to three hundred horses and mules, they are only enough for us to transport back a small part of the loot!"
"If we want to send them all back to the base, we still need a lot of transportation!"
"Contact the 1st and 2nd Battalions immediately and ask them to make a quick decision and end the battle as soon as possible."
"The puppet troops in the city will capture whatever they can. I need their help in transporting the loot!"
"The whole guard company is dispatched. The recruit company of the second battalion will cooperate with you. With the cooperation of the underground party, we will use the fastest speed to attack the traitor lackeys who are full of evil in the city and seize their property, especially their transportation vehicles."
"Whether it's a horse or a mule, I want them all. I'll collect one and send one to you!"
"With the cooperation of the underground party, we also need to buy mules, horses and horses throughout the city, directly using the finances seized from the traitors!"
"In order to speed up the purchase and reduce the resistance of the people in the city, we can increase the price by 20 to 30% to ensure that the villagers do not suffer a loss..."
"Try to buy all the mules, horses and horses in the city before twelve o'clock!"
"After the First and Second Battalions ended the battle, the three main companies of the Second Battalion immediately left the city and bought mules and horses at high prices in villages within ten kilometers of the county. They went directly to the guard company to collect the money. The more mules and horses they bought back, the more we
The more weapons and ammunition can be transported back to the base area, so everyone must not be afraid of spending money."
"Before midnight, all troops must return to Yangquan for transfer and capture!"
"The First Battalion seizes the time to rest, replenish ammunition, and be ready to face the Japanese returning troops at any time!"
