As the main force of the new group enters the city.
The Japanese and puppet troops were defeated and fled directly through the north gate.
However, Li Yunlong did not send troops to pursue him. After all, there were many gun towers outside the north city wall.
Just take down the arsenal and grain depot.
With the current strength of the New Regiment, even if they capture the county seat, they will not be able to hold it.
County Arsenal.
Wei Dayong had a submachine gun hanging on his chest.
He broke open the iron lock of a warehouse with force.
Li Yunlong put the shell gun in his belt and walked over quickly.
Wei Dayong looked back and grinned slightly: "Commander, please be careful and don't let the shell gun go off."
"It's okay if you break your leg. If you break that thing, it won't be easy for you to get a wife in the future."
All the soldiers burst into laughter.
"If you dare to make fun of me, I will beat you up."
Li Yunlong felt a chill in his crotch, so he took out the rifle and put it into the leather holster.
"Captain, I heard that you are very good at iron head skills, and I have long wanted to learn a few tricks." Wei Dayong chuckled.
"What nonsense are you talking about? Quickly open it and see what good things are inside." Li Yunlong was impatient.
Wei Dayong then turned around and opened the door. It took two or three people to push open the iron door.
He suddenly stamped his feet and exerted a little force on his hands, and the heavy iron door was pushed open from both sides.
Wei Dayong took the lead in carrying a submachine gun, and the soldiers from the sword detachment behind him also held submachine guns and followed behind in battle formation.
In the warehouse, there are rows of wooden crates stacked up.
"Everyone put away their guns." Li Yunlong said angrily, "This is an arsenal. If you shoot and detonate the weapons, everyone has to finish."
Seeing that there were no Japanese inside, the soldiers of the Sharp Sword Special Forces put away their guns.
Then he took out his knife and lifted up the box to see what was inside.
"Captain, here are melon grenades!"
"Here are 7.7mm machine gun rounds!"
"Here are 6.5mm rifle rounds!"
The soldiers' voices sounded slightly surprised one after another.
Li Yunlong said: "Look at the other boxes!"
The crowd pried open more than a dozen wooden crates one after another, basically all of them were filled with bullets and melon grenades.
Lu Yingjun said happily: "Captain, I just counted, there are about 100 bullet boxes and 50 grenade boxes. The bullet boxes contain 1,200 rounds and a box contains 50 grenades. That is 120,000 rounds of ammunition and 2,500 grenades."
"
Li Yunlong's eyes lit up: "So, there are four warehouses here, that is, 480,000 rounds of ammunition and 10,000 grenades?"
"Hurry up and open the other warehouses and take a look!"
Li Yunlong asked his soldiers to open several other warehouses with great expectation.
However, there is only one warehouse that contains the same amount of ammunition as the first warehouse.
Of the other two warehouses, one had almost all the ammunition moved and was empty, while the other was filled with cannonballs.
And most of them are Type 97 90mm mortar shells, there are less than 200 70mm shells, and some of them are poison gas bombs.
There are some spare weapons in the warehouse, such as 38 rifles, Type 92 heavy machine guns, crooked light machine guns and Type 96 light machine guns, but not many.
Li Yunlong was bored: "Damn, I'm so happy for nothing. The bullets are less than 250,000 rounds. This Black Island Cavalry Regiment is too damn poor."
If this battle had not been reimbursed for ammunition consumption, I am afraid that even the money would not have been recovered. After all, in addition to fighting, Li Yunlong also used 200,000 rounds of ammunition for training.
It is true that marksmanship is derived from bullets. The marksmanship of the new group of soldiers has improved a lot.
Li Yunlong came out of the arms warehouse.
Third Battalion Commander Chen Dugu happened to be riding over from the grain depot.
"Report to the leader, the grain depot has been captured!"
Li Yunlong's expression changed and he asked: "How much food is there in the granary?"
Chen Dugu said: "According to the puppet army in charge of the grain depot, it is almost 300,000 kilograms, half of which is millet."
"Haha, 300,000 catties." Li Yunlong laughed loudly and said, "Oh my God, we are rich!"
What is the Eighth Route Army lacking most now?
The first is weapons, and the second is food.
The supply of troops is sufficient.
If the Eighth Route Army headquarters is willing, with just one order, the Taihang Mountain Base Area alone can quickly expand 100,000 troops.
But the expanded 100,000 troops did not have enough weapons to equip them, nor did they have enough food to feed them.
For Li Yunlong, having these 300,000 kilograms of grain can not only solve the current food shortage problem of the new regiment, but also expand a lot of troops.
Chen Dugu quickly reminded: "Captain, transporting so many supplies requires a lot of manpower and time. Just in case, we have to transport them as soon as possible."
Li Yunlong's expression faded: "Commander Third Battalion, you're right to remind me. If the Japanese suddenly come for reinforcements, the cooked duck will fly away."
Li Yunlong quickly took stock of the military horses in his hands.
Among them, more than 200 horses were seized in Yelangyu and more than 200 horses were seized at the Japanese horse farm outside the city, plus 300 horses from the temporary cavalry battalion and 60 horses brought by the Sharp Sword Special Forces.
There are almost 800 military horses in total. They are currently being fed soybeans at the Japanese military horse farm outside the city to replenish their physical strength.
They are all tall horses, capable of carrying two adults at full speed, and each horse can easily carry 500 kilograms of supplies.
However, this place is not close to Yangcun. If you don't feed the army horses with concentrated feed after this work, they will definitely lose weight.
Li Yunlong turned around and shouted: "Communication Corps!"
"have!"
A young but smart warrior ran up to Li Yunlong and straightened his body.
Li Yunlong ordered loudly.
"Pass my order and immediately go to the racecourse outside the city to notify Sun Desheng and ask him to bring 600 military horses to the grain depot to transport grain!"
"Also, the Japanese hospitals and the gendarmerie are all taken over by me."
"There is only one principle: don't leave even a hair for the Japanese."
"No one is allowed to touch the things belonging to the common people. If anyone touches the things belonging to the common people, I will kill him!"
"Yes!" The communications soldier received the order, got on his horse and rushed out of the city.
Chen Dugu said: "Captain, the remaining 200 military horses are used to transport concentrated feed from the horse farm outside the city. What about these weapons and ammunition?"
800 horses may seem like a lot, and it is indeed a lot, but each horse also needs a soldier to lead it, which is a waste of 800 labor.
These 800 warriors leading horses can also move some things, but each warrior certainly cannot move much.
"Calculate the time." Li Yunlong thought, "The second battalion should be arriving soon."
As Li Yunlong expected, about ten minutes later, Second Battalion Commander Zheng Yu arrived with his soldiers.
"Captain." Zheng Yu gave a military salute and said with regret, "We killed part of the Japanese cavalry in Dawanggou and drove all the way with the soldiers, but we still failed to catch up with the siege battle."
Li Yunlong looked at the sweaty soldiers running behind Zheng Yu, and then said.
"You came quite quickly, let the soldiers take a rest."
"Hurry up and eat some dry food, drink some water, and replenish your strength."
"We need to transport ammunition later."
"Yes!" Zheng Yu immediately turned around to greet the soldiers.
At the same time, Li Yunlong also sent warning posts to the highways in all directions.
Although the new regiment captured the county seat quickly enough.
From the outbreak of the fighting in the county town to the end, it only took an hour or two.
The Japanese reinforcements may not arrive so quickly, but there is nothing wrong with being careful.
…
As the county seat of Qixian County was occupied by a new group of people at the speed of light.
The news quickly spread to the Taiyuan First Army Headquarters.
The Black Island Alliance has not been contacted yet, and the reinforcements have just set off.
Since this was an independent combat operation carried out by Li Yunlong, only a few leaders at the brigade and headquarters knew about it.
With the powerful intelligence system of the Japanese army, they were unable to find out the number of the Eighth Route Army unit that attacked Qixian County this time.
Yoshio Shinozuka angrily slashed a blue and white porcelain vase with his command knife.
After venting his anger, Yoshio Shinozuka knew that the reinforcements rushed to reinforce him, but it was obviously too late and they might even be ambushed.
So all the troops were ordered to return to their bases, and a regiment of the 9th Brigade was sent to Qi County to clean up the mess.
…
Yelangyu.
over time.
The transportation team sent by the division headquarters has arrived.
The vast mule-drawn transport team was personally led by Logistics Minister Zhang Wanhe.
He looked at the corpses of Japanese soldiers and military horses covering half of the slope in front of him.
Zhang Wanhe and the soldiers in the transport team were shocked.
Zhang Wanhe reacted with uncontrollable joy on his face.
horsemeat!
It’s all horse meat!
Zhao Gang's face showed a look of worry and anxiety.
Although the battlefield has been cleared long ago, the 1st Battalion cannot leave because the main force has not returned yet.
Basically all the Japs who died in Yelangyu were shot to death, so the Japs did not lose much weapons and ammunition.
The number of Type 4 and Type 4 rifles and Type 3 and Type 2 cavalry swords each exceeds 500.
In addition, there are more than twenty crooked light machine guns and Type 96 light machine guns.
As for the mortars, all of them were blown up by the Japanese. Two of them were not seriously damaged and could still be used after being taken back and repaired.
The soldiers also found a small amount of 90mm mortar shells on the Japanese artillery positions.
Zhao Gang originally wanted to send someone to send back the captured weapons and equipment first, but after careful consideration he decided to wait for a while.
This batch of weapons and ammunition is quite large. If all the soldiers are sent to transport it, there will not be many soldiers left to reinforce the main force.
Zhang Dabiao, however, was not anxious at all: "Political Commissar, you'd better take a break. Ever since I've known our leader, I've never seen him do any business at a loss."
Zhang Wanhe was shocked by these words. I asked him why I didn't see that bitch Li Yunlong. It turned out that he had gone to the county town.
"Battle Commander Zhang is right. If Li Yunlong was not completely sure, he would definitely not attack the county town."
Zhang Wanhe persuaded.
But I couldn't help but sneer in my heart: Haha, even if a dog passes by Li Yunlong, Li Yunlong will pull out a piece of the dog's hair.
Will such a person suffer?
"Then why is there no news yet?" Zhao Gang asked worriedly.
As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of horse hooves sounded in the distance.
"Here we come!" Zhang Dabiao patted his butt and stood up, "Captain and the others must have succeeded!"
After a while, the communications soldier from the regiment headquarters ran to Zhao Gang, hurriedly reined in the army horse, then turned over and dismounted, gave a military salute and said: "Report to the political commissar, the regiment commander has captured the county seat and seized a large amount of supplies and ammunition. The regiment commander asked you to
Take some of the mule carts to Dawanggou and Jianshantsui to transport horse meat!"
Zhang Wanhe, however, stared closely at the signal corps' horses, his eyes shining brightly.
Even the horses that the signal corps rides are big Japanese horses. Li Yunlong is really damn rich.
