When the leader heard the news from the Independent Group, he was so happy that he couldn't open his mouth from ear to ear.
"This Li Yunlong has his own tricks!" the chief said happily while holding the list: "We gave Yuncheng out just to take advantage and transfer the Jinsui Army to the front line. Unexpectedly, Li Yunlong also changed a lot of things.
, including munitions and food, as well as copper materials and copper, especially those thousand technicians... these are things that can play a big role after the war!"
"Yes!" the chief of staff said with emotion: "Besides, with Li Yunlong doing this, I think things will go much smoother."
"How do you say that?" The leader looked at the chief of staff doubtfully.
The chief of staff explained: "Chief, think about it. If we gave Yuncheng to Yan Laoxi for no reason... How could Yan Laoxi, that old fox, be so easily fooled? He would definitely think over and over again to find out what went wrong.
.Wouldn’t this thought make him think of it?”
The leader said "Oh" and continued happily: "Now, we have a deal and let them exchange Yuncheng with a large amount of materials. This old fox will not doubt it anymore!"
The chief of staff nodded and said: "This is called Zhou Yu beating Huang Gai. Anyone who wants to be beaten is willing to suffer!"
The two of them laughed loudly as they spoke.
Yan Laoxina really had no doubts. When he received Chu Yunfei's telegram, he thought he had taken advantage of it.
"God's will, God's will!" Yan Laoxi was moved to tears. He could not hide his joy. He took the telegram and said to his staff: "God will not destroy our Jinsui Army! If we can retake Yuncheng today, Shanxi will have
This is the foothold of our Jinsui Army! God will not fail me, we can return to Yuncheng again!"
No wonder Yan Laoxi is so happy.
The importance of Yuncheng to the Jinsui Army is the same as the Eighth Route Army's desire to develop military industry... Only Zhongtiao Mountain in Shanxi has copper mines, and the only way to occupy these copper mines is to defend Yuncheng.
Otherwise, the Jinsui Army will have no choice but to rely on others and eventually lose its independence and become a puppet.
Yan Laoxi once thought that there was no hope for him, but he didn't expect that it would take no effort to find a way out of the iron shoes. He didn't expect that he would have a chance to make a comeback so soon.
Then Chu Yunfei called again, saying that the Eighth Route Army requested that a thousand technicians be sent for inspection first.
Yan Laoxi thinks this is very reasonable.
As for the transaction, you naturally have to pay some deposit first. These 1,000 technicians are considered as deposits. Anyway, these technicians will not be useful without a factory.
After thinking about it, Yan Laoxi ordered again: "Send the one thousand rifles and one hundred thousand rounds of ammunition as well!"
Yan Laoxi was worried that the Eighth Route Army would not have enough bullets, which would lead to the failure of the offensive battle. At the same time, he also showed the "sincerity" of the cooperation between the Jinsui Army and the Eighth Route Army.
Li Yunlong, of course, welcomes all comers. Although the quality of the Type 65 rifles of the Jinsui Army is not as good as that of the 38 Dagai, it is still better than the excessive use of guns without rifling in the hands of the Eighth Route Army, but one thousand is a bit less...
...I can barely equip a regiment.
However, Li Yunlong's attention was not here at this time. He was busy receiving the T34 tank with Wang Xuexin.
The first batch of thirty tanks arrived, including ten T34s and twenty T26s. The second batch is still on the way and will arrive two days later.
The tank was driven back by Androvich's men...
Originally, only the driver was required to go there. After all, the Eighth Route Army troops were protecting the route, so there would be no safety issues with the tanks.
But Wang Xuexin still sent the entire army and even an infantry company.
The reason is that Wang Xuexin regarded this "transportation" as a training exercise.
Just kidding, the life of the T34 engine is only 100 hours.
It is more than 200 kilometers from Xi'an to Sanjiadian. If the speed is 50 kilometers per hour, it will take more than two hours to drive.
In other words, just "transportation" consumes more than one-fiftieth of its lifespan.
How could such a precious opportunity be wasted so easily, so all tank crews were dispatched. When the driver drove the tank, the crew members became familiar with the environment inside the tank and their respective responsibilities, and even conducted several drills.
The infantrymen also drove behind the tanks and followed in cars.
Of course, all this takes place in the dark...
On the one hand, this is for confidentiality, and on the other hand, it is for security reasons.
If we were active during the day, we would suffer heavy losses if we were discovered by Japanese planes and launched a wave of bombings.
It took more than four hours for the tank to arrive. Wang Xuexin felt so bad. It had almost one-twentieth of its lifespan... The T34 was really hard to drive.
However, there is nothing we can do about it, because we will inevitably have to march at night in future battles. Only by practicing more can we avoid making mistakes. In the worst case, we will have to change another engine to join the battle.
When T34 drove into the tank base, the soldiers immediately burst into cheers, and then swarmed up like ants finding food, and everyone looked at this big guy like a madman.
The tank crew emerged from the tank cabin, waving their hands and cheering to their comrades below as if they had won a battle.
Wang Xuexin used his flashlight to shine on the tank. It was T34. It had typical sloping armor. There was a red five-star painted on the end of the thick barrel, and several Maozi characters were written around it.
Li Yunlong asked Lao Fan curiously: "What is written on it?"
"For the motherland!" Lao Fan replied.
Li Yunlong was happy when he heard this: "Hey, Mao Zi is also good at writing slogans. This is good publicity! Let's change it to Chinese characters and write it!"
"Captain!" Wang Xuexin quickly stopped him and said, "I'm thinking, let's slow down this matter."
"What's wrong?" Li Yunlong was a little surprised: "Mao Xiong can write, but we can't?"
Wang Xuexin explained: "Commander, we have hundreds or even thousands of tanks at every turn. They also say that 'spirituality comes first', so writing a few words is nothing. But we only have ten of these tanks... these few
If you write it upwards, doesn't it mean that the Japanese will hit you here?"
Li Yunlong said "Oh" after hearing this, and then nodded with a smile: "That makes sense, you are so thoughtful!"
Therefore, Wang Xuexin wanted to erase the red five stars together.
Although these signs do look inspiring and morale-boosting, they are inconvenient for tanks to hide... For example, in bushes or far away, the enemy can spot the red five-star and white words from a long distance.
And Wang Xuexin paid great attention to concealment in the application of tanks.
This was determined by the fact that the Eighth Route Army did not have air supremacy.
Because there is a contradiction when the Eighth Route Army uses tanks:
The lack of air superiority means that the tank will be passive if it fights during the day. It can be said that it has no power to fight back when facing enemy aircraft.
But the tanks of this era did not have the ability to fight at night...it was almost impossible to detect the enemy through the narrow observation holes at night, let alone distinguish the distance of the target.
Therefore, there is only one way for tanks to be effective on the battlefield, which is to raid and hide.
Wang Xuexin knew this clearly, so there must be no eye-catching things.
