During the Battle of Taiyuan, although the Japanese North China Front Command did not punish itself in the end, many colleagues, including domestic colleagues, saw a joke on themselves.
If they were to know, just because of this battle and because of his mistakes, the strength comparison between the Imperial Army and the Eighth Route Army in North China would be directly changed, affecting the Imperial Army's control over North China and the security of North China. Yoshio Shinozuka is sure that even if he is above
If someone speaks to you, you will be punished. Maybe your military career will end here.
Seeing that the Chief of Staff's face was becoming more and more serious, Yoshio Shinozuka continued his analysis: "Chief of Staff, the existence of this arsenal has a great impact on the Imperial Army. It must be found and destroyed!"
"Send me the relevant information immediately and we will study it together!"
"Also, mobilize the intelligence department to strengthen the investigation and search of Wutai, and we must find them!"
The scale of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei arsenal is too large, and people are constantly delivering materials to the arsenal every day, and then taking away the weapons and equipment produced by the arsenal. Although these operations are all carried out at night, and they are all transported by trustworthy troops.
However, as time passed, Japanese intelligence agents slowly targeted the arsenal hidden in the mountains through the transport team.
Of course, the Japanese themselves may not be able to discover it even if they are given another month.
When the Japanese were frantically searching for the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Arsenal, the intelligence agents in Dai Li's hands were also frantically searching.
As an old rival, and this is an area controlled by the Nationalist Government for more or less a year. The Nationalist Government's intelligence network in this area is obviously more complete than that of the Japanese, and it is easier to find things.
In order to achieve Chiang Kai-shek's purpose of killing people with a borrowed knife, Dai Li would immediately tell the Japanese through channels as long as he found some useful information.
Of course, some people will say that the Nationalist Government and the Japanese are rivals, and even if the Nationalist Government passes information secretly to the Japanese, the Japanese may not believe it.
People who think this way obviously underestimate the complexity of the intelligence system during the Anti-Japanese War.
It is most appropriate to use the words "I am in you, you are in me" to describe it.
To be more direct, there are people from Dai Li in the Japanese intelligence network, and there are also Japanese people in Dai Li's intelligence network.
Through his own intelligence agent hidden among the Japanese, he can not only send the information to the Japanese, but also make the intelligence agent perform meritorious service, further improve his status in the Japanese intelligence network, kill two birds with one stone, why not?
In this way, with Dai Li's help, in less than half a month, a box report about the Eighth Route Army's arsenal appeared in the hands of Touichi Terauchi, the headquarters of the Japanese North China Front.
"Rifles, submachine guns, light machine guns, heavy machine guns, and mortars... Bagh Ya Road, this is a complete replica of the Taiyuan Arsenal. With the equipment of one brigade per month, in a year at most, the entire Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Eighth Route Army
There will no longer be a shortage of equipment. When the time comes, if the imperial army wants to sweep Shanxi, Chahar and Hebei and eliminate them, it will definitely be difficult, even suffer heavy losses, and end in failure!" Terauchi Shouichi said with a stern face, the arsenal will definitely be given to North China.
changes brought about.
Then he couldn't help but cursed: "Baga, these are all caused by Yoshio Shinozuka, he is a fool. If the equipment of the Taiyuan Arsenal had not been taken away by the Eighth Route Army, given the level of the Tubal Army, even if they were given five years
Even time may not make a rifle!”
"Yoshio Shinozuka does have to bear the main responsibility!" the chief of staff agreed, with a tone that clearly meant to add insult to injury.
To him, although the title of Chief of Staff of the Front Army sounds good, it is obviously nothing compared with the powerful division commander below. The Chief of Staff would like to be the division commander below, but for the Japanese North China Front Army,
There are only a few positions of the powerful general, a carrot and a pit. If you want to go down, you must move some people away. And Yoshio Shinozuka is the target that the chief of staff wants to move away. As long as Yoshio Shinozuka leaves, North China will
The front army will definitely undergo a major personnel change, and then I will have a chance!
Terauchi Shouichi could see what the chief of staff was thinking at a glance, shook his head and said: "Chief of Staff, even if all the responsibility is passed to Shinozuka Yoshio, the country will not do anything to him. So, you should just be your chief of staff with peace of mind.
.As long as you have enough military exploits, you won’t have the opportunity to be promoted and reused if you don’t use it!”
"Thank you, Commander!" the Chief of Staff replied immediately with a flash of disappointment on his face.
Then he stared at the sand table and suggested: "Now that we have locked the specific location of the Eighth Route Army Arsenal! Your Excellency, Commander, I humbly suggest that we immediately dispatch a group of bombers to bomb and destroy the Eighth Route Army Arsenal!"
"Okay, you can make a plan and deploy at least two groups of bombers to blow up the Eighth Route Army arsenal!" Terauchi Takumi agreed without thinking about it.
The number of workshops in the arsenal had increased to four, but Wang Ping was still satisfied and asked Zhang Ding, the engineer battalion commander, to continue construction.
Just two days ago, the first rifle made from rails was released.
Although the technicians who made the gun repeatedly affirmed that there would be no problems with the gun in use, it is just that its lifespan is a bit short!
Wang Ping, who only believed in facts, decided to verify it through experiments.
Two thousand rounds of ammunition were fired in three days, and it was still intact.
Although some of the rifling has been worn away, because the 38 barrel is long and the bullet flies out at a high initial velocity, shooting within two to three hundred meters does not affect the shooting accuracy.
In the words of gun testers, this gun can fire another one or two thousand rounds without any problem.
"Notify the arsenal to go all out to produce this kind of rifle. Also, let the arsenal use rails to build a light machine gun, a heavy machine gun, and a mortar. I also want to test them!" Wang Ping breathed a sigh of relief.
Make a decision now.
At this moment, the communications platoon leader of the arsenal suddenly rushed in, with a look of panic on his face.
"Plane, chief, the kid's plane is coming!" the communications platoon leader shouted as he rushed in.
"No, the Japs must have discovered our arsenal and want to destroy it through bombing!" Wang Ping reacted quickly and ordered with a frown.
Political Commissar Zhou Yong also rushed over and asked very anxiously: "Old Wang, the arsenal is the hope of our Eighth Route Army. There must be no problems. What should we do next?"
"Don't be anxious!" Wang Ping replied with a frown!
"Contact the military region immediately to see how many bombers the Japanese have sent to attack us!"
"Also, don't worry, our factories are all in the mountains, and it's also a stone mountain. There will definitely be no problems with the Japanese bombing!"
"Political Commissar Zhou, immediately notify the technicians and experts outside the factory and hide them all in the factory. No one can come out without my order."
"Chief of Staff, send the guard group out immediately!"
"The Japs found us even though we were hiding so secretly. There must be little Japs intelligence agents around. Find them, kill them, and do it quickly. Try to kill them before the Japs plane arrives!"
Having said this, a sneer flashed across Wang Ping's lips.
