Chapter 751: Being knocked unconscious by happiness (first update)
Li Yunlong was very reluctant to part with him.
With so many weapons and ammunition, wouldn’t it be nice to keep them for yourself?
But he did not forget the dangerous situation that the Yizhong base area was currently facing. For the sake of the overall situation, it would be no problem even if he got twice as many weapons and ammunition to support the reinforcements.
If you can't bear to part with these weapons and ammunition, if an accident occurs in the wing center base during the ensuing sweep and is lost, and the troops also suffer heavy losses in the battle, and are even wiped out by Okamura Neiji, no matter how much weapons and ammunition you keep,
Useless.
Maybe the trophies that the troops worked so hard to capture in Baoding were recaptured by the Japanese before they were even warmed up, and that would be the true meaning of having a wife and then losing the troops.
Immediately he replied with an air of grandeur: "I'm willing to give up..."
"These weapons and ammunition are just combat supplies for our reinforcements."
"When the counter-mopping up is over and we defeat the 50,000 Kwantung Army, and each regiment leaves the Yi Zhong base area, I will give each regiment a reinforced battalion of equipment and ammunition."
"I can't bear to let the child trap the wolf..."
"Don't look at us taking out the equipment and ammunition to strengthen the regiment at once."
"As long as the reinforcements can make full use of these weapons and ammunition, it will not be a problem to eliminate five to six thousand Kwantung Army."
"The Kwantung Army is well-equipped. It must have captured a lot of trophies by killing five to six thousand imps."
"Even if it can't make up for the weapons and ammunition we sent out, it's not much different."
"Besides, the destruction of five to six thousand Kwantung Army troops by the five main regiments is only the minimum combat mission I gave them."
"With the arrangements in place, it will be no problem for five regiments to destroy 10,000 Kwantung Army troops."
"The loot captured will also be doubled."
"Not only will we not lose money, we will also be able to earn back a large amount of weapons and ammunition."
…………
On a mountain road fifteen kilometers southeast of Baoding, the 26th Regiment of the Eighth Route Army was advancing in the dark.
The group leader Li Zhi was walking in the middle of the team, thinking about something as he rushed, sometimes frowning, sometimes full of expectation.
"Captain..." The political commissar suddenly ran towards him.
"You are still thinking about the mission..."
"Since our 26th Regiment was formed, we have never experienced such a big battle, and we feel unsure." Li Zhi did not hide his thoughts.
"The opponent is still the Kwantung Army, the most powerful Japanese army. I'm worried that if we go to the Yizhong base area, we won't be able to come back."
"Then we have to go..." the political commissar said firmly.
"The tasks assigned to us by our superiors must be carried out unconditionally."
"But I firmly believe that the chief will not let us die."
"I have heard of Captains Li and Kong who are active in the Yi Zhong base. Although they are crowned commanders, they command more troops than a brigade. They are particularly good at fighting big battles and tough battles. They have rich combat experience."
"Otherwise, we wouldn't have the strength to capture Baoding City, which was heavily defended by Japanese troops, in half a night."
"We will definitely not suffer any loss if we fight with them."
The political commissar's words contained a high level of comfort, but Li Zhi did not point out the enemy on the spot.
Decisively change the topic: "Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you win every battle."
"Compared with the Kwantung Army, although the equipment and ammunition of the army are very poor, no matter how poor it is, you still have to be confident."
"After meeting Commander Kong and Commander Li, we will definitely report the strength and equipment of the regiment."
"My idea is to say one thing when there is one thing, and another thing when there are two things going on, and I will never hide anything private."
"The opponent we are facing this time is too strong. We must use all our resources, even if we spend them all, and we must do everything possible to reduce casualties."
The political commissar was convinced: "Captain, don't worry."
"After receiving the order from the headquarters, I took out all the ammunition in stock in the regiment."
"More than a hundred stone mines have not fallen."
Li Zhi nodded: "Then let's rush on as soon as possible and join the Yi Zhong troops as soon as possible to receive the combat mission."
Two hours later, a fire dragon suddenly appeared in front of the team.
"The troops stopped advancing and prepared to fight..." Li Zhi immediately got into the woods next to the mountain road and issued combat orders at the same time.
In his impression, only the Japanese and puppet troops dared to light torches at night and march forward with great fanfare, while the Eighth Route Army marched in discredit wherever they went.
The fire dragon that appeared in front of me must be the Japanese and puppet troops.
As soon as he took out the cannon from the box, the figure of the reconnaissance company commander appeared at the end of his field of vision and hurried towards him.
"The leader is one of our own..."
"The Yi Zhong Base Area sent troops to pick us up."
"I was ordered to take us to the station for repairs..."
"I have brought the leader, Company Commander Zhang."
As soon as he finished speaking, a strange face appeared from behind the reconnaissance company commander, saluted and said loudly: "Report to the commander, the commander of the third company of Junping Garrison Regiment has been ordered to come and meet everyone."
"Our regiment leader has prepared a station and supplies for everyone. It is in a ravine two kilometers ahead. Please lead me to the security force, and then report to Baoding City."
Li Zhi's tense nerves suddenly relaxed and he said happily: "After traveling for so long, I finally met one of my own."
"You lead the way from the front, and I will lead the troops to follow."
As soon as he entered the ravine, Li Zhi was shocked by the lively scene here.
A row of large iron pots stood at the entrance of the ravine, steaming white flour buns and stewing pork vermicelli. The strong aroma of meat could be smelled from a distance.
Captain Zhang, who was leading the team, immediately introduced to Li Zhi: "Chief, this is the reception banquet that the regiment leader asked me to prepare for the reinforcements."
"White flour steamed buns, pork stewed vermicelli, tube filling, everyone can eat as much as they want."
"We also prepared four thousand cans of canned meat, five fans of pork, three killed war horses, 20,000 kilograms of white flour, five thousand kilograms of rice, and five thousand kilograms of millet for the comrades at the station as reinforcements for the comrades in the Yizhong base area.
food."
After saying that, I took out the list I had prepared in advance and continued the introduction.
"This is a list of supplies. Grain, canned food, pork, and medicine are all listed above. If there is not enough, please mention it directly to our Commander Kong later and we will replenish it."
"Here is the equipment and ammunition list."
"Considering that the Japanese we have to deal with next are the Kwantung Army, which is well-equipped and powerful in combat, we specially prepared five hundred rifles, twenty light machine guns, five heavy machine guns, five mortars, five hundred rounds of artillery shells, and three
One hundred thousand rounds of ammunition and five thousand grenades to supplement the 26 regiments."
"Everything is in the ravine. Please ask Captain Li to send someone to take it over."
"By the way, Commander Kong also asked me to tell you."
"The Kwantung Army may move south to Baoding at any time. Please arrange the troops and report to Baoding City immediately after Commander Li has arranged the troops to accept the combat mission."
Li Zhi was deceived.
I was transferred to the Yi Zhong base area by the deputy commander in a confused manner, but I failed to make any achievements. The Yi Zhong base area sent me so many weapons, equipment and ammunition supplies.
I was so happy that I almost fainted.
Because the addition of these weapons and equipment can increase the firepower level of the 26 regiments by at least 60% and the overall combat effectiveness by 20 to 30%.
Not to mention ammunition.
In the past, when the 26th Regiment fought against the Japanese, they had to buckle and search. Often due to lack of ammunition, the soldiers would fight with the Japanese with bayonets and pay a heavy price.
No need now.
There are 300,000 rounds of machine gun bullets, and each soldier can distribute 150 rounds on average.
If you encounter little devils again in the future, you don't need to charge, just bullets will kill them all.
He took the list and read it twice in a row before calming down from the surprise. Still in disbelief, he asked: "These weapons, equipment and ammunition supplies are really for us?"
Company Commander Zhang nodded and replied: "If it's not enough, you can apply to Commander Kong."
"Our regiment leader said that during the operations of the reinforcements at the Yi Zhong base area, all ammunition supplies will be replenished from the Yi Zhong base area."
"How much ammunition the troops destroyed on the battlefield will be replenished in the base area."
"Promise not to let the reinforcements suffer."
"That's enough..." Li Zhi said with excitement.
"Since the establishment of the 26th Regiment, there have never been so many weapons and ammunition."
"Thanks to the Yi Zhong Base Area, we can also experience what it's like to be a local landlord this time when we fight against the Japanese."
"I will arrange the troops now and leave for Baoding in an hour."
…………
At the Japanese Army's North China Front Headquarters, the Chief of Staff finally flashed a long-lost smile on his face and ran quickly to Okamura Neiji: "Your Excellency, Commander."
"Good news, the call back from the Kwantung Army headquarters has arrived."
"The first wave of reinforcements they sent to North China was an entire reinforced brigade."
"It has two field infantry regiments, a field artillery battalion, and an independent heavy artillery battalion, with a total of 8,000 people."
"The troops are gathering and will set off in three hours."
"It is expected to arrive in Peking tonight."
"After three hours of repairs at the train station, we will continue south to Baoding. We will be able to reach the battlefield during the day tomorrow and recapture Baoding."
Okamura Neiji smiled, his hanging heart suddenly relaxed, and he sighed happily: "The Kwantung Army is indeed the most powerful army in the Imperial Japanese Army. In terms of speed of assembly, it cannot be matched by other troops."
A few days ago, Okamura Neji would not have said these words even if he was beaten to death.
Times have changed, who would allow me to ask for help from the Kwantung Army now?
No matter how unconvinced you are, you still have to say good things about them.
He glanced at the sand table and asked the chief of staff: "Intelligence shows that the Yizhong Eighth Route Army has completely occupied Baoding, and the exchange of fire in the city has stopped."
"Kawasaki has probably had an accident."
"The top priority now is to prevent the Eighth Route Army from rushing to transport the weapons, equipment and ammunition supplies we have hoarded in Baoding City, so as to provide them with opportunities to develop and grow."
"Are the aviation forces ready? How many planes do you plan to dispatch to bomb Baoding City?"
"Six bombers, six fighters, a total of twelve aircraft." The chief of staff just finished contacting the aviation force and answered without thinking.
Okamura Neiji seemed very satisfied with the answer. He nodded and began to give orders: "Let them prepare for air defense."
"Set out as soon as dawn. The sooner the Baoding arsenal is destroyed, the lower the chance of the Eighth Route Army becoming stronger."
Seeing the chief of staff nodding to accept the order, Okamura Neiji continued to order: "Although the Baoding garrison has been destroyed."
"But our intelligence personnel hidden in Baoding are still there."
"Let them closely monitor every move of the Eighth Route Army in the wing and keep an eye on them. After the first batch of reinforcements are in place, try to eat up an Eighth Route Army to save the defeat and reduce the negative impact of Kawasaki's loss of Baoding on the North China Front."
