The first thing Huang Yu did when he jumped out of the car was to salute Kong Jie, and then he reported excitedly.
"The special forces did not disappoint you. They successfully completed the raid and returned to the base..."
"Requesting to return to the team..."
"Agreed to return to the team..." Kong Jie patted Huang Yu's shoulder and said.
"You have become quite famous this time... Not only the deputy commander-in-chief and others praised you highly, but the chief of Yan'an also knows about you."
"I even managed to get a plane back from my trip to Taiyuan... This is simply a miracle."
"I have asked the cooking team to prepare meals for everyone..."
"You returned to the base area from the road, and fought an air defense battle with the Japanese Air Force. Faced with the Japanese army's pursuit and interception at any time, the soldiers' hearts must have been tense all the way, and they were very tired."
"Now that I'm home, I can finally relax and have a rest."
"Walk……"
"I'll take you to eat delicious food..."
"Give the loot brought back to the baggage troops, and they will take care of it..."
Five days later, the light infantrymen who walked on the mountain road gradually returned to the base area.
Kong Jie and Huang Yu also saw Li Yunlong on the edge of the base area, who had not slept for several days and had dark circles under his eyes.
As a result, when he saw Huang Yu, he seemed like a different person. The tired expression on his face suddenly disappeared, and he said excitedly: "Xiao Huang..."
"I heard it all on the road."
"You used hundreds of transport trucks as bait, ambushed the Japanese aviation force, destroyed more than 20 aircraft with machine guns, and frightened the Japanese aviation force into silence in one battle, and they did not dare to continue air attacks on us..."
"Even I have benefited from you a lot."
"Since then, the reconnaissance recon planes above us have dropped to 20-30% of their original size. The air threat has dropped sharply, and the march speed has become much faster..."
"Well done..."
"You must tell me about the air defense battle later."
"When I learn how to do it, I will also be able to fight a beautiful ambush against the Japanese aviation forces in the future."
"Okay...Old Li..." Kong Jie interrupted in time.
"Back at the base... I have plenty of time to discuss this battle with Xiao Huang..."
"Let's go back to the base first and have a good rest..."
"Although you have brought back a large amount of loot... the quantity is too much, and your time in Taiyuan is very limited. You don't even know what good things you have!"
"I've almost finished the statistics here. I'll let you know when I get back to the base..."
"Guaranteed to scare you..."
…………
The commander of the Japanese North China Front and the person in charge of intelligence was reporting the intelligence he had just collected to Neji Okamura with a serious look on his face.
"Your Excellency Commander..."
"Intelligence from the Eighth Route Army's Yizhong Base Area shows that all the Yizhong Eighth Route Army that raided Taiyuan have returned to the base area."
"Only less than 10% of the loot they captured from Taiyuan City was lost on the way back, and all other loot was safely brought back to the base."
"Preliminary statistics..."
“These trophies include more than 59,000 rounds of various artillery shells, more than 7.5 million rounds of various bullets, more than 40 mountain field guns, more than 120 mortars, and more than 130 heavy machine guns.
, more than 400 light machine guns, and more than 11,000 rifles..."
"boom……"
Okamura Neiji punched the table in front of him and said angrily: "The Taiyuan garrison only has a few thousand people in total... I remember that the Taiyuan arsenal reserves are basically ammunition, with almost no weapons and equipment. Where did they seize so many weapons?"
More equipment!”
"With them..."
"The Eighth Route Army in Yi Zhong can pull out at least an army of 1,500 people."
"Their fighting power is already very strong. If we add another 15,000 elite troops, the North China Front Army will really have no chance to destroy them..."
The chief of staff on the side suddenly interrupted: "Your Excellency, Commander..."
"According to my understanding, at least half of the trophies captured by the Yizhong Eighth Route Army came from the Taiyuan Arsenal."
"Although the place does not have the conditions to manufacture weapons in large quantities, it can be repaired."
"All battle-damaged equipment of the Shanxi garrison will be sent to Taiyuan Arsenal for repair..."
"Repaired equipment is often sent to the original army only after it accumulates to a certain amount."
"This means that the equipment in stock at Taiyuan Arsenal is no less than that at Taiyuan Arsenal!"
Ningci from Kankang Village nodded to express his understanding, and the intelligence chief continued to report: "Except for weapons and ammunition..."
"The Yizhong Eighth Route Army also seized financial assets worth 2.8 million oceans in Taiyuan City..."
"A large amount of military equipment was also seized from the Taiyuan Arsenal..."
"Our lurking insiders in the Eighth Route Army reported that the Eighth Route Army in Yizhong plans to build a new arsenal based on those military equipment."
"Once completed, not only can bullets of various calibers and grenades be mass-produced..."
"We can also produce rifles and mortar shells in small batches..."
"Repair heavy machine guns, mortars, mountain artillery..."
"The Yizhong Eighth Route Army's logistics supply capability will definitely become stronger and stronger by then..."
"We have to guard against..."
Okamura Neiji punched the table again, stared at the person in charge of intelligence and continued to ask: "Ignore the arsenal for now..."
"Even if the Eighth Route Army robbed military equipment from Taiyuan..."
"Arms factories don't have production capabilities just because they have military equipment..."
"We still need a lot of military talents, raw materials, electricity, coal... to put it into production."
"With the current technology and resource reserves of the Eighth Route Army, three or four months of preparation may not be enough..."
"What I'm most worried about is the equipment and ammunition."
"The Eighth Route Army mobilized troops too quickly..."
"The Yizhong area is densely populated. As long as the Eighth Route Army is willing, it can raise an elite force of 15,000 people at any time..."
"It will take three months to initially form combat effectiveness..."
"It will take half a year to fully form combat effectiveness..."
"If we speed up the training of troops and assign more veterans to the new troops, they can form combat effectiveness in four months..."
"This is the biggest threat we face..."
"I ask you to immediately find out the next moves of the Yizhong Eighth Route Army, especially their plans for the disposal of this batch of weapons and ammunition, and whether they have plans to immediately expand their troops..."
After saying that, he turned his attention to the chief of staff: "When will the next mopping up operation against the Eighth Route Army in Yizhong be launched..."
"How long will it take for the North China Front to be ready?"
The chief of staff immediately reported: "The first batch of domestic recruits to supplement us have arrived!"
"Considering that the Eighth Route Army in Yizhong is very difficult to deal with, sending new recruits to fight with them would mean risking death. I will send them to other battlefields for training according to the old rules, and at the same time dispatch veterans to reinforce Yizhong..."
"Baoding City has gathered more than 15,000 elite imperial troops..."
"Eight thousand people are stationed in Baoding, and 7,000 people are protecting the railway line from Peking to Baoding!"
"In order to make up for the lack of troops in the imperial army... I also mobilized seven regiments of the Imperial Association Army from other places to assist the imperial army in defending the city."
"The military has also promised to deploy a division of servant troops to reinforce us. It will be in place within a month at the latest. By then we will have 35,000 elite troops to surround the Yizhong Eighth Route Army."
"Even if there is no advantage, there is still no problem in trapping the Eighth Route Army in Yizhong."
