Liu Tiezhu walked up to the second floor and entered the highest-end box. At this time, Liu Tiezhu was dressed like a foreign businessman, wearing a decent black satin gown and a black top hat on his head. He was really impressive. Did Liu Tiezhu come in and sit down?
After a while, Cao Shangfei, dressed as a gangster, also came in with a sly look.
Liu Tiezhu immediately stood up and closed the door of the private room, then lowered his voice and asked: "Shang Fei, how are you?"
Cao Shangfei walked up to Liu Tiezhu and whispered: "I've already explored it, there are a lot of good things inside."
After saying this, Cao Shangfei added: "I was afraid that the Japanese would be suspicious, so I didn't dare to unbox and inspect the goods. However, there are at least four thousand 38-guns and more than a hundred crooked-handled light machine guns stored in the arsenal. There are few bullets."
It is said that there are four to five million rounds, but unfortunately there are no Type 92 heavy machine guns, mortars, infantry guns or anything like that."
What Cao Shangfei dared to explore was the Japanese arsenal in Jining City.
Liu Tiezhu sighed and said, "Zoucheng may have heavy machine guns, mortars, etc."
Zoucheng is not only the headquarters of the 10th independent mixed brigade of the Japanese army, but also a transfer station on the Jinpu railway line. The Japanese arsenal there must be a large arsenal. Unfortunately, with the current strength of the Baoshan brigade, it is basically
It is impossible to capture Zoucheng, so we can only attack Jining first.
The meal must be eaten one bite at a time, and the road must be walked step by step.
Based on the current situation of the Baoshan Brigade, it can barely support the small county towns and small strongholds with empty defenses, but it seems a little inadequate to attack Jining. Insufficient troops is only one reason, but the biggest reason is the serious shortage of ammunition reserves. Based on the Baoshan Brigade
Today's ammunition reserves can only fight a small-scale critical battle or a medium-scale field battle.
Cao Shangfei said: "Captain, the Japanese army has left the city, what should we do next?"
"Tell the brothers to wait patiently!" Liu Tiezhu said solemnly, "Don't stir up trouble or provoke others to avoid being exposed."
…
Baodugu, Huanglong Cave.
The cavalry battalion directly under the Baoshan Brigade is conducting routine drills on the drying ground.
Many soldiers from the Yanzi Army and the Eighth Route Army gathered nearby to watch.
After the capture of Zaozhuang last night, the Cavalry Battalion and the Yanzi Army, together with the 2nd Brigade of the Lunan Guerrilla Detachment of the Eighth Route Army, withdrew to the Huanglongdong base area. This sneak attack on Zaozhuang yielded almost no profit and water. The three families divided the filth, and each family only had a dozen branches.
Rifles and hundreds of rounds of ammunition are incomparable to what the Baoshan Brigade gained when they captured Zaozhuang last time.
The main force of the Lunan Guerrilla Detachment of the Eighth Route Army has also withdrawn to the Baodugu base area.
The Eighth Route Army pursued flexible guerrilla tactics. They would not defend Shanting County and fight the Japanese. Although fleeing without fighting would be against military integrity, in a battlefield environment where the enemy is strong and we are weak, survival is the most important thing!
When Peng Mingzhi arrived at the entrance of the village, the cavalry battalion had just formed its formation.
"Everyone has..."
"stand at attention!"
"Count!"
"one two three four……"
"Report, the 1st Cavalry Company should have 78 people to ride on it, but it actually has 78 people on it. Please give me instructions!"
"Report, the 2nd Cavalry Company was supposed to have 79 people to ride on it, but actually there were 79 people to ride on it. Please give me instructions!"
"Report, the 3rd Cavalry Company should have 72 people to ride on it, but it actually has 72 people on it. Please give me instructions!"
"Report, the cavalry company was supposed to have 98 people, and the actual number is 98. Please give instructions!"
"Report, the cavalry artillery company was supposed to have 48 people, and the actual number is 48. Please give instructions!"
The four company commanders quickly counted the number of people in their respective companies, and then ran in standard military posture to the battalion deputy Zhao Youting and stood up to report. Zhao Youting immediately turned around and saluted the cavalry battalion commander Liu Fengsheng with a standard military salute and said loudly.
: "Report to the camp, the cavalry battalion has been assembled, please give instructions!"
Liu Fengsheng returned the military salute and said calmly: "Take a break."
"Sha..." More than 300 people in the cavalry battalion raised their legs at the same time, with uniform movements, and the momentum of the regular army was immediately revealed.
The Yanzi Army who gathered in groups nearby to watch the excitement suddenly cheered. Not far away, many female soldiers from the Eighth Route Army Health Corps also couldn't help but start applauding. This national army was uniformly dressed and marched in uniform.
The military posture is upright, and it looks quite masculine. At least the visual effect is much better than that of the Eighth Route Army.
Wu Faxian couldn't help but said to Peng Mingzhi: "Lao Peng, it seems that our training has to keep up."
"Political commissar, this can't be achieved through training." Peng Mingzhi shook his head upon hearing this. The leader of the main regiment who came from the old Red Army has already seen that the group of national soldiers in front of him are definitely true veterans of hundreds of battles.
His eyes and every movement conveyed the chilling aura of the battlefield. What he didn't say was that he was definitely killed in a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.
On the drying ground at the entrance of the village, the cavalry battalion has begun training in platoon units.
After watching it for a long time, Peng Mingzhi suddenly cursed and said: "Damn it, how come all the good things in the world are taken up by that boy Yue Weihan? It would be so beautiful if I had such a cavalry battalion."
Yang Shaocheng, secretary of the Huxi Prefectural Committee, suddenly said: "Lao Peng, I got information that a Japanese rogue built a horse farm outside the north gate of Jining to train war horses and sell them to the Japanese army. I heard that there are many war horses in the horse ring, and there are
Cattle, sheep and other livestock, if you find a way to get these horses, can't you also form a cavalry battalion?"
Peng Mingzhi's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard this and said: "Secretary Yang, is this information reliable?"
Yang Shaocheng said: "This is information obtained by comrades from Jining's underground party. It is absolutely reliable."
"Damn it, then fuck him!" Peng Mingzhi suddenly became energetic and said excitedly, "It just so happens that the little Japs are attacking everywhere now and are dividing their forces to attack the lost counties. Jining's defense must be empty, and I have another
We have such a cavalry battalion and a group of tough bandits at our disposal for the time being. How long will it take if we don't fight now?"
Wu Faxian said: "Lao Peng, this is a major combat operation. Should I ask the head of the headquarters for instructions?"
"What the hell are you asking for?" Peng Mingzhi said angrily, "What kind of major combat operation? I'm just going to do some side business, get some Han Sheep bison or something like that to improve the food for my brothers, so why do I need to ask the head of the headquarters for instructions?
"After that, Peng Mingzhi turned back to the guard and said, "Give me the order, the 1st Brigade must assemble immediately!"
Wu Faxian said anxiously: "Lao Peng, do we have to take action after dark?"
"No." Peng Mingzhi said flatly, "It's more than 150 miles from here to Jining. We can't do it until dark. How can we do it when it's early morning when we get to Jining?"
Wu Faxian said: "Then what if your actions in broad daylight are discovered by a Japanese plane?"
"The Japanese planes are all concentrated in Wuhan, looking for trouble with Chairman Chiang. How can they have time to trouble us?" Peng Mingzhi curled his lips and said disapprovingly, "How many Japanese planes have you seen in the past few days?"
Wu Faxian was speechless. In the past few days, he had not seen Japanese planes coming to the base area to cause trouble. It seemed that the Battle of Wuhan put a lot of pressure on the Japanese army, forcing the Japanese army to transfer almost all aviation forces to the front line in Wuhan.
…
Dushan Lake, Dushan Island.
The time spent lurking on an isolated island is unbearable. The sun sets and another day finally passes.
Yue Weihan was drinking cold water and eating dry food when Liu Yi suddenly came over with a solemn expression and said: "At the hotel, there is an urgent message from the left-behind headquarters. The little devil is very arrogant. He actually divided his troops into more than a dozen groups to attack at the same time. One guy
We have recaptured all the lost county towns, and are currently pursuing and suppressing local armed forces. Except for the Eighth Route Army and the Yanzi Army, everyone else has suffered heavy losses."
Yue Weihan looked calm. In fact, such a result had been expected by him.
Although the Black Dragon Society, Tianshi Dao, Baihumen and other Daoist sect armed forces, as well as the Meng family, Cao family, Long family and other armed forces, have a large number of people and are very powerful when making troubles, they are all mobs! If there are regular troops in front, let's
It's okay for them to follow behind and build up momentum, but if they are allowed to fight head-on with the Japanese army, they will definitely collapse at the first touch.
It's not that these Huidaomen or family armed forces are afraid of death. The key is that they lack training, have never been to the battlefield seriously, and have not been baptized by the fire of war. More importantly, their equipment is too poor.
I can't even get a single gun, it's made in Hanyang, and it only has a measly three or five bullets. How can I fight against the Japanese?
In short, Yue Weihan never expected that this group of rabble could withstand the Japanese attack!
Yue Weihan never thought about really guarding the dozen or so counties in Lunan. His goal was Jining, the important town in Lunan, or the Japanese arsenal in Jining!
The Baoshan Brigade now has no shortage of men. Guarding Shandong, a populous province, the Baoshan Brigade can easily expand to tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands. The key is to have guns and bullets! The Baoshan Brigade does not have a military factory, so it is impossible
To get supplies from the rear, where do the guns come from? Where do the bullets come from?
It can only be snatched from the hands of the devil!
But the little devils are not fools. How easy is it to snatch their arms?
At this time, Gao Jingwu, the master of the Yanzi Army, revealed important information about Nan Zao Yunzi to Yue Weihan!
As a result, Yue Weihan took advantage of Nanzao Yunzi to carefully design such a series of tricks. He first lured the Japanese army to shrink their troops around Jining, leaving dozens of other counties in Lunan with empty defenses, and then mobilized local armed forces to capture these dozen cities in one fell swoop.
The county seat, and forced the Japanese troops to attack from all sides to put out the fire, would then have the opportunity to sneak attack Jining.
At present, Yue Weihan's tactical intention has basically been achieved, and he is just waiting for it to get dark.
Seeing Yue Weihan's silence, Liu Yi said worriedly: "After the battle started, I don't know if the special operations brigade can control the arsenal in time? What if there was something wrong in the middle, and the little Japanese realized something was wrong and blew up the arsenal first?
If there is no library, then we will have nothing to draw from the bamboo basket."
If the Japanese were allowed to blow up the arsenal, even if the Baoshan Brigade captured Jining, it would be a defeat.
"Chief of Staff, don't worry." Yue Weihan patted Liu Yi on the shoulder and said, "Based on all aspects of intelligence, it is basically certain that the Japanese soldiers in Jining City are only an infantry brigade, and the Japanese troops guarding the arsenal are at most
A squadron, with the combat effectiveness of a special operations brigade, can't deal with the Japanese infantry squadron easily?"
Yue Weihan still has great confidence in Liu Tiezhu's special operations brigade. After all, this elite force was trained by him personally. Not only is it highly capable of individual combat, but it is also proficient in assassination, poisoning, sabotage and other special tactics. As long as it does not match the Japanese special forces
, it will definitely not be a problem to capture the Jining Arsenal.
