The heavy artillery battalion of the garrison is located in a forest next to the road near Lingqiu.
Externally, this place is called a pig farm.
It does look exactly like other pig farms from the outside, and there are indeed nearly a hundred fat pigs raised inside, but they are all used by the Heavy Artillery Battalion to confuse the outside world.
When you actually enter the pig farm, you will find that there is something special inside.
Behind the pig house are rows of well-camouflaged barracks, which are built against the mountains. You will definitely not be able to spot them unless you get close.
Behind the barracks, more than a dozen semi-underground ammunition depots are hidden here.
These ammunition depots were specially built for heavy artillery. The soldiers dug them out with shovels based on the mountains. Most of the ammunition depots are inside the mountains, so they can be safe even if they are bombed by aircraft.
An ammunition depot similar to an air raid shelter hides a heavy artillery. Some people will definitely think that this is a bit of a fuss.
actually not.
This heavy artillery battalion was not only the great weapon of the garrison, but also the only one in the entire Eighth Route Army. It was also a thorn in the side of the Japanese army and suffered heavy losses at the hands of this unit time and time again.
Since the establishment of the heavy artillery battalion, we have never given up searching for them and destroying them.
If the heavy artillery battalion is stationed in an ordinary camp, after the Japanese army finds it, it only needs to send a few planes to completely destroy it...
This is a result that no one wants to see except the Japanese.
After repeated investigations and confirmations, Li Hao designated this place as the base of the heavy artillery battalion and announced it to the outside world as a pig farm at the regiment headquarters.
Battalion Commander Yuan Qingfeng has been particularly troubled these days. All the troops in the garrison that can go to the battlefield have been deployed, and every unit has achieved fruitful results. Only the heavy artillery battalion has been staying at the station without any tasks.
For several days, the heavy artillery battalion sent two war invitation telegrams to the political commissar every day.
As a result, everything disappeared without any response, as if the heavy artillery battalion had been forgotten.
Several times Yuan Qingfeng had the urge to abandon all heavy artillery and bring some artillery equipment with ordinary mountain guns and mortars to reinforce the battlefield.
However, this idea was firmly opposed by the instructor as soon as it came out, and it ended in vain.
In the words of the instructor, in the heavy artillery battalion, not only are the heavy artillery pieces precious, but every gunner is also a treasure.
Heavy artillery is different from ordinary mortars. Its gunners need to undergo longer training and have a certain cultural background. Ten ordinary gunners may not be able to select two qualified heavy artillery gunners. Even one of them will be killed or injured.
It's a huge loss.
Therefore, no one in the heavy artillery battalion can easily go to the battlefield without an order from the regiment headquarters.
The day's hard waiting was finally over, and the combat order Yuan Qingfeng was expecting still hadn't appeared.
"Batalion Commander, please go down and rest! It's so late, there will definitely be no orders. I will be on duty tonight!" Seeing the unwilling expression on the battalion commander's face, the instructor was also helpless, but the heavy artillery battalion could not move without orders.
, this is a matter of principle, I can only comfort you.
Yuan Qingfeng sighed and replied: "The counter-mopping up we are waiting for is almost over, and we haven't waited for the order yet."
"Is it true that our heavy artillery battalion really has no chance to go to the battlefield in this battle?"
"Batalion Commander, the political commissar has an urgent call!" The operator suddenly rushed in to report, with a smile on his face.
"Combat order?" Yuan Qingfeng stared at the operator expectantly.
"It's a battle order!" The operator nodded quickly and quickly handed over the telegram in his hand.
Yuan Qingfeng glanced at the map and turned his attention to the map. As he searched, he said to the instructor: "Quickly find Pingshui Town. The political commissar asked us to travel day and night. In two nights, we will move the heavy artillery battalion there to hide and standby. Each gun can carry a hundred
Fire the cannonballs and set off tonight."
The instructor also became excited.
Going to the battlefield to fight the Japanese is what every soldier desires, and instructors are no exception.
Quickly walk to the map and search for Pingshui Town with the battalion commander.
Two minutes later, he excitedly shouted: "Batalion Commander, I found it, right here."
After saying this, the smile on the instructor's face disappeared and his expression became more and more serious.
Yuan Qingfeng also frowned and asked in confusion: "It's so strange!"
"The terrain here is flat. There is not even a hill within a radius of ten kilometers. There are only a few small woods. It is definitely not suitable for an ambush."
"Why did the political commissar transfer us there? Are we going to fight a positional war with the Japanese?"
The instructor shook his head and replied: "The possibility of fighting a positional battle is very low."
"Pingshui Town is located between Guangling and Laiyuan. The Japanese raids have already been there, so it's definitely impossible to go there a second time."
"Even if we do go, it won't be the main force. If we want to fight a positional battle there, we won't be able to find an opponent."
"I don't want to anymore..." Yuan Qingfeng shook his head like a rattle and answered with a frown.
"The political commissar will definitely not let us go in vain. There must be a mission to go there."
"Order the entire heavy artillery battalion to assemble. We train this several times every day, so I require the troops to be ready to go within half an hour."
In another forest more than ten kilometers away, an armored company was also gathering.
Fourteen armored fighting vehicles and twenty modified vehicles were all assembled within ten minutes.
There were nearly two hundred soldiers, half of whom got into chariots and car cabs, and half of whom got into car compartments.
The tanks and armored vehicles were captured by the Japanese, and the cars were modified by the garrison arsenal.
On the battlefield, the garrison must have captured more than fourteen tanks and armored vehicles. Most of them were blown up before they died and lost their repair value.
But the steel plates on armored combat vehicles can be used.
Hong Yuanshu has been thinking of ways to increase the strength of the armored company since he became the company commander.
It is too difficult to capture armored fighting vehicles. On the battlefield, one armored company will be missing if one is destroyed.
He could only find another way to increase the equipment of the tank company through other means.
He was more heartbroken than anyone else when he saw the troops dismantling the bombed armored vehicles and sending the steel plates that could block bullets to the arsenal for recycling.
At this time, the car that came to pull the steel plates made his eyes light up, and he thought of a way to produce tanks by himself.
Thus, the first bulletproof car modified by the garrison was born.
The entire car is wrapped in steel plates, the cab remains unchanged, and the windshield becomes a steel plate with only a lookout opening.
The passenger compartment becomes a shooting position.
The windshield becomes a thickened steel plate with a shooting hole on it, and a light machine gun is fixed on it to hit all enemies who want to get close to the bulletproof car head-on.
A heavy machine gun is fixed on the roof of the cab, and a light machine gun is fixed on each side of the cab. The surrounding area is protected by steel plates, and the top is also covered with a layer of steel plates.
The machine gunner hides inside and shoots outwards, and the entire car turns into a mobile bunker. It can advance, attack, retreat or defend on the battlefield. It is definitely a weapon to kill the enemy.
After the first prototype came out, Hong Yuanshu specially tested it with a heavy machine gun.
Not only can it withstand light and heavy machine gun fire, but it can also withstand close range fire from ordinary mortars. Self-defense is definitely no problem.
