Chapter 238: A group of high-ranking Japanese officials?
26 mountain artillery pieces, after all, are more than 2 mountain artillery battalions, they can barely be regarded as 1 mountain artillery regiment.
If your regiment is equipped with so many mountain cannons, how can you keep people alive?
Chu Yunfei boasted that the 358th Regiment had the best and most luxurious equipment among all Chinese military units in the second theater.
But today, when I met Xinyi Tuan, I realized what it means to compare one person to another and to throw away goods.
To use an old saying, it's a knife in the butt that opens your eyes.
Even the grenades equipped by the new regiment are all German-style with big knobs, and the Jin-made wooden handle grenades are completely incomparable.
Moreover, the new regiment is also equipped with a lot of submachine guns, and the manufacturing process looks like foreign products. The Jin-made Thompson submachine guns with a high failure rate are even more eclipsed in front of them.
Li Yunlong's character doesn't like to show off. When he gets rich, he usually brags in front of his old comrades. Most of all, he likes to make a fortune in silence.
But if Chu Yunfei jumps out on his own, Li Yunlong won't be polite to him.
Next, the soldiers of the artillery battalion began a series of training such as adjusting the shooting elements, loading, and unloading the ammunition. Their movements were crisp, uniform, and well-trained.
Artillery performance training is completed.
"Captain Chu, there will be a machine gun battalion training next, do you want to continue watching?"
Seeing the complex expression of embarrassment and shock on Chu Yunfei's face, Li Yunlong asked with a smile on his face.
"Please lead the way, Commander Li and Political Commissar Zhao." Chu Yunfei said, "Since we are observing, we naturally want to see the whole picture of your regiment."
The atmosphere has reached this point, and he, Chu Yunfei, is too embarrassed to leave in the middle of the show. Isn't that just a slap in the face?
Everyone walked towards the machine gun battalion training ground.
On the open plains, the machine gun battalion and the large-caliber heavy machine gun company were conducting a joint air defense exercise between the two arms in full swing.
The commander of the machine gun battalion, He Jie, was operating a machine gun, speaking loudly and instructing the soldiers to train. He did not notice the arrival of the regiment commander, political commissar and others.
36 20mm machine guns, 20 large-caliber heavy machine guns...you call this a machine gun battalion?
Chu Yunfei watched the 2,300 men operating 20mm machine guns and large-caliber heavy machine guns, even though he had previously expected that the new regiment would have dozens of machine guns.
But his tone was still full of shock and envy:
"The equipment of your regiment is indeed luxurious enough. This machine gun battalion alone can suppress a Japanese flying squadron."
"It can even shoot down Japanese planes."
Chu Yunfei's words were not a compliment, but a compliment from the bottom of his heart.
The number of aircraft in a standard Japanese flying team is about 20, and the Japanese fighters and bombers basically require dive attacks.
A few machine guns and large-caliber heavy machine guns will certainly not be able to do anything to a Japanese flying squadron.
However, the anti-aircraft firepower network composed of 36 machine guns and 20 large-caliber heavy machine guns is enough to prevent Japanese aircraft from dive bombing, and these machine guns and large-caliber heavy machine guns can also effectively attack Japanese infantry and Japanese tank armor on the ground.
.
Chu Yunfei was really envious of this machine gun battalion. Although the 358th regiment was a strengthened regiment, it did not have the ability to form such a powerful air defense force.
There is money for these foreign machine guns and large-caliber heavy machine guns, but the crux of the problem is that there are no channels to buy them.
Not to mention Chu Yunfei, even his old commander, Yan Xishan, the top leader in the second theater, couldn't get such luxurious equipment.
"Haha..." Li Yunlong laughed heartily, "Captain Chu guessed right. Since my machine gun unit was established, I have shot down a total of 10 Japanese aircraft."
Chu Yunfei saw it with his own eyes when he shot down two Japanese planes in Hulugou.
Shot down 6 Japanese planes in the Battle of Zhengtai, and shot down 2 Japanese planes in the Battle of Guanjianao.
Although some of the machine gun unit was also blown up by Japanese bombs, Chen Feng reimbursed him.
The machine guns and large-caliber heavy machine guns in front of you are only part of the new group of machine guns and large-caliber heavy machine guns.
The other part of the equipment is given to the three infantry battalions and the county brigade. When necessary, all machine guns and large-caliber heavy machine guns can be centralized and used.
"Shoot down the cross..."
Chu Yunfei and Sun Ming looked at each other with deep surprise in their eyes. This was equivalent to killing half of the Japanese flying team. The Japanese planes were not that easy to shoot down.
Some time ago, when the Eighth Route Army launched the Battle of Zhengtai and the Battle of Tongpu, Chu Yunfei also took the opportunity to remove the Japanese strongholds deep in the hinterland of the 358th Regiment.
Moreover, he also received news that the plane of the Japanese First Army was intercepted by the Eighth Route Army at Taiyuan Xincheng Airport.
Next, Chu Yunfei completely gave up the idea of showing off his marksmanship.
Although he is a quick shooter with excellent marksmanship, and the adjutant Sun Ming beside him is highly skilled in martial arts.
But when the mountain artillery battalion, machine gun battalion and heavy machine gun battalion of the new regiment moved like this, Chu Yunfei knew that he had lost, completely.
What's more, until now, Li Yunlong has not revealed his strongest infantry.
The infantry of the new regiment were at Cangyun Ridge and Hulugou, but they made a very deep impression on Chu Yunfei.
Chu Yunfei took out two small and exquisite pistols with his left and right hands: "Brother Yunlong, this gun is produced by FN Company of Belgium. It has a caliber of 6.3 and an ammunition capacity of six rounds. It is a pair when it leaves the factory, one male and one female. Browning
Brand, today I, Chu Yunfei, want to give this female to Commander Li to show the friendship between our two armies to join hands in fighting the enemy. I hope Commander Li will accept it."
"If a dignified man carries a female gun, it will make people laugh if word spreads about it." Li Yunlong said, "If Captain Chu wants to give it away, why not give me the male one."
"Okay, Captain Li, I'll listen to you." Chu Yunfei smiled and said, "I'll give this hero to you."
Zhao Gang smiled and said: "As the saying goes, a sword is given to a hero. Captain Chu gave his beloved gun to him the second time they met. Captain, you are quite proud."
"Then I'll accept it."
With a laugh, Li Yunlong took the Browning pistol from Chu Yunfei's hand and couldn't put it down.
There is no soldier who doesn't like good guns, and Li Yunlong is no exception.
Chu Yunfei said: "I, Yunfei, will stay in Guijun for a few days. Brother Yunlong won't talk to me on paper, right?"
Li Yunlong laughed and said: "Easy to say, easy to say."
…
night.
The inner room of the regiment headquarters.
Li Yunlong played with the Browning pistol in his hand and said with a smile: "This Chu Yunfei also asked me a question. If I don't show him my skills, I will really make this kid laugh."
"I'm talking about Lao Li." Zhao Gang said, "We don't need to set up a stage for Chu Yunfei to sing in a play. Let's just follow the original plan."
"Of course we have to follow the plan." Li Yunlong said, "But since Chu Yunfei wants to watch the battle, just let him follow him to watch. Even if he watches, he won't learn."
Zhao Gang nodded: "Okay then, you can control it yourself."
"Report!"
Lu Yingjun's voice sounded outside the door.
Li Yunlong looked overjoyed. It was the Sharp Sword Squadron that had returned from reconnaissance. He looked overjoyed and said, "Come in!"
Lu Yingjun opened the door curtain, bent down and walked in. He walked up to Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang and gave him a military salute.
"Leader, political commissar!"
Li Yunlong: "Sit!"
At the moment, Lu Yingjun was sitting on the bench, and the three of them were surrounding the Eight Immortals table.
"Is the reconnaissance completed?" Li Yunlong asked, "How is the situation?"
Then Lu Yingjun took out a map from his clothes and placed it on the table: "I have led a team to scout both Chenjiayu and Hanjia Village."
"Chenjiayu is 3 kilometers away from the current headquarters. After passing through Chenjiayu, we can reach the headquarters in less than half an hour by a quick march."
"This place is condescending, easy to defend and difficult to attack. It is the only road leading to the headquarters nearby."
"After the head of the headquarters learned about the Japanese sneak attack, he has sent a special agent camp to guard here."
Li Yunlong nodded and said: "I know this. In a few days, our new regiment will take over from the special agent regiment to defend Chenjiayu. Please focus on Hanjia Village."
The combat effectiveness of the special agent regiment directly under the headquarters is among the best in the entire Eighth Route Army.
Since the mission of the Special Agent Regiment is mainly to protect the security of the headquarters and arsenal, compared to other main force regiments, the Special Agent Regiment has very sufficient weapons and ammunition.
It's like the cooks in the army, they eat the best food in the army.
"Yes!" Lu Yingjun responded, and then said, "Next to Hanjia Village is a highway. The blockhouses and strongholds on the highway have been demolished. The Japanese are currently repairing the strongholds and blockhouses. It is about 20 kilometers away from the Huting stronghold.
Kilometers, there are steep walls on both sides of the west side of Hanjiacun Road, which is very suitable for an ambush."
When Zhao Gang heard this, he immediately smiled and said, "The terrain of these two places is favorable to us. It seems that we should be able to get these 100 tons of weapons and ammunition very easily."
Li Yunlong frowned and said, "I always feel like something is wrong?"
"What's wrong?" Zhao Gang asked.
Lu Yingjun also lowered his eyes, looking at the map with a thoughtful expression on his face.
Li Yunlong said: "What we guessed before was that the Japs in Hanjiacun are probably the second Japs to attack the headquarters."
"But now it seems that that may not be the case."
"First of all, the information brother Chen Feng gave us said that there is a big fish in Hanjia Village."
“What does a big fish in a net mean?”
"I didn't notice this before." Zhao Gang looked thoughtful, "A big fish in a net may refer to a Japanese official, or more than one?"
"I had doubts before, but now I am almost sure that the big fish in this net are probably a group of high-ranking Japanese officials." Li Yunlong said, "Like the Pingliao Highway and the Baijin Railway, the Japanese have not yet started to repair their strongholds and gun towers, but they are here.
Rushing to repair the strongholds and gun towers, it is obvious that the Japanese want to protect this big fish on that day."
"And the most important thing is that the price Brother Chen Feng offered us this time is 100 tons."
"Even if the enemy in Chenjiayu is Yamamoto's special agent team, Yamamoto Kazuki is nothing more than a left-winger and can withstand a natural value of 20 tons of weapons and ammunition."
"The rest of the minions are worthless, so the enemies in Hanjiacun are probably worth 80 tons of weapons and ammunition. Except for a group of Japanese high-ranking officials, I really can't think of any Japs worth so many weapons and ammunition."
"That makes sense!" Zhao Gang nodded, and then asked, "Isn't it the old devil Yoshio Shinozuka who is here?"
"This should not happen." Li Yunlong analyzed seriously, "Yoshio Shinozuka's head must be worth at least several thousand tons of weapons and ammunition."
Zhao Gang said angrily: "Do you think you can determine the price?"
After laughing, Li Yunlong said: "If we, Mr. Li, could set the price and kill a Japanese to support a ton of weapons and ammunition, then our entire Eighth Route Army would have made a fortune long ago."
After a pause, Li Yunlong looked solemn, and then said: "Let all departments step up training. Brother Chen Feng is feeding meat into our mouths this time. We can't live up to his good intentions."
