Amidst the dull roar of engines, one after another cars loaded with ammunition and supplies passed in front of everyone, with unknown destinations.
Kong Jie was jealous again: "The cars are all filled with fuel. Our army is very short of such things, especially the arsenal..."
"A lot of equipment cannot operate without oil, and it is impossible to continuously produce weapons and ammunition..."
"If we get it back to the base, it will definitely be enough for the arsenal for more than half a year."
After sighing with emotion, he asked Huang Yu: "Xiao Huang, this is the first transport convoy we have encountered on the road!"
"The sixth one..." Huang Yu answered with anticipation!
"It was difficult to meet a convoy at the beginning. The closer we get to Tianjin, the greater our chance of encountering a convoy..."
"In the past few hours, we encountered three convoys in a row, all loaded with weapons and ammunition supplies!"
"It shows that Tianjin does have a huge logistics base. Maybe the entire North China Japanese army's ammunition supplies come from there!"
Kong Jie thought so too, and immediately ordered: "Then let's go faster!"
"Try to get to Tianjin as soon as possible to see the true face of the Japanese logistics base in Lushan..."
At three o'clock in the afternoon, Huang Yu was lucky enough to encounter a convoy returning to Tianjin with empty cars.
You don't need to think about it to know that they are going to Tianjin to collect supplies.
Everyone followed the convoy all the way and arrived at the Tianjin Pier at three o'clock in the morning.
The security is very tight. There are densely packed patrols, light and covert sentries, and machine gun positions for two kilometers outside the pier...
"Captain, the Japs are too heavily guarded... There seems to be a password among the patrols. If you infiltrate hastily, the possibility of being exposed is very high!" Huang Yu said helplessly as he stared at the patrols going back and forth in front of him.
Kong Jie frowned and said with a look of reluctance: "We have already arrived outside the Japanese logistics base. It would be a shame if we can't go in and take a look!"
Huang Yu did not answer the call.
To be honest, the pier is so heavily guarded that even if Huang Yu goes in alone, it will be difficult for him to escape unscathed.
After all, he is a human being, not a god... The Japs are not vegetarians, especially the patrol team that just passed by him. At a glance, he can tell that they are elite veterans who have been on the battlefield, and their combat effectiveness is very strong!
He turned around and looked around, hoping to find a breakthrough elsewhere.
"Captain, look at our direction due east..." Huang Yu said suddenly.
Kong Jie took one look and smiled: "You want to observe the pier from a high ground..."
Huang Yu nodded: "The garrison there should be less than the patrol team here..."
"It's definitely easier to infiltrate there than here. We also have telescopes, so we should be able to get a rough idea!"
Kong Jie made a decision immediately: "Let's go there now...find a place to lurk before dawn..."
In a bush full of thorns halfway up the mountain, Kong Jie, Huang Yu, and several guards were all hiding here motionless.
In the eyes of the Japanese, it is impossible to hide people here. The patrol team will go around here every time, and today is no exception.
Kong Jie carefully raised the telescope and stared at the pier for a long time without putting it down.
"Captain, what's wrong?" Huang Yu thought Kong Jie saw something strange, so he asked in a low voice.
Kong Jie did not move, still staring at the battlefield motionless...
"Captain, don't scare me...did you see something?" Huang Yu was anxious and reminded again.
"This logistics base is too big!" Kong Jie finally put down his telescope and looked at the battlefield with a shocked expression.
"Look at the southeast direction of the pier...there are all ammunition boxes there, piled in piles, covered with tarpaulins...Behind the ammunition piles are several warehouses. They must have been piled outside because they couldn't fit in the warehouses..."
"Damn it, how much ammunition does this have to have!"
"The Taiyuan arsenal we took down was less than one-tenth of the size here..."
"There are at least three transport ships unloading cargo on the pier..."
"Based on the size of the unloaded boxes, 80% of them are weapons and ammunition..."
"If all three transport ships are loaded with weapons and ammunition... and sent to the front line, they will be enough to equip a main division!"
"There is also the southwest direction of the pier. Although it is covered with a raincloth, I can see that what is covered under the raincloth is all artillery. There are common mountain artillery and infantry artillery, as well as howitzers and cannons that we rarely see.
Two heavy artillery regiments are no problem!"
"There are also several warehouses in the middle of the pier... Although I don't know what is inside, judging from the tanks and armored vehicles parked at the door... they should be filled with combat vehicles and supporting ammunition..."
"There are still many warehouses with oil materials piled up, and the open spaces at the docks are also filled with oil materials..."
"This must be the most troublesome logistics base for the Japanese North China Front. The weapons and equipment they send to North China from China should be concentrated here, and then dispersed to various divisions from here!"
Huang Yu immediately answered: "The Japanese army also attaches great importance to the security work here!"
"There are Japanese infantry brigade stations in three directions of the pier... There is also a navy on the pier, which can provide artillery support to the infantry at any time..."
"There are still many little Japs in Tianjin City. They can reinforce the battlefield in half an hour at most..."
"I estimate that there are at least 6,000 enemies protecting the dock... They are basically all little devils, and there are very few puppet troops!"
"Maybe there are many tank troops among these enemies!"
"Even if we hold ten thousand troops, it will be difficult to capture the dock!"
Kong Jie added: "There will also be heavy artillery support!"
"If you want to capture the pier, you must first use heavy artillery to destroy the Japanese gunboats and warships docked on the pier to render the naval guns ineffective. Otherwise, with the power of dozens of naval guns, no matter how many troops we have, we won't be able to blow up enough!"
Huang Yu glanced at Kong Jie in surprise. He didn't expect that he would even think of a way to attack the dock. He quickly asked: "Captain, you don't really want to attack the Tianjin dock, do you?"
Kong Jie shook his head and replied helplessly: "It's useless to even think about it!"
"I only have one special agent company in hand, and I have no chance of infiltrating into the dock, let alone taking it down!"
"You just said that even 10,000 elites may not be able to capture the dock... Not every regiment of our Eighth Route Army is as strong as the independent regiment... It would be good if a regiment of ordinary main force has two thousand people. Five main force
The regiment is not even enough for 10,000 people!”
"I don't have the ability to command five regiments of troops at once!"
Huang Yu was very happy because he was most afraid that Kong Jie would have no ambition.
If Kong Jie really has the idea of taking over the dock in his mind, and with his help, there will definitely be a chance that his wish will come true in the future.
The unwillingness on Kong Jie's face fully revealed his ambition to take over Tianjin Pier.
Just because the reality is not enough, I have to keep this ambition in my heart.
Huang Yu immediately answered: "There will be a chance..."
"Didn't the commander say that we will be released back to the frontline troops in half a year? As long as we return to the army, we will have a chance!"
"If 10,000 people are not enough, let's form an army of 15,000 people!"
