Chapter 635 The head of the team is in a whimsical way again
A flash of embarrassment flashed across Hong Linfeng's face: "Captain, I also want to take all these treasures back, but this is simply an impossible task!"
"The newly rescued workers are too weak. The average weight each person carries is 30 kilograms, which is enough to support the sky. They can just transport 100,000 kilograms of coarse grains away!"
"The main force and the mules and horses we brought worked hard. Thank God if we can transport all the remaining fine grains, weapons and ammunition, and the seized funds back!"
I'm still worrying about how to transport the equipment that I can take away, but as for the bullet casings, I haven't even thought about it!"
Li Hao answered with certainty: "Ship them all back, there is no room for negotiation!"
"Weapons and ammunition, food, equipment, and the bullet casings I mentioned are all indispensable!"
"The method is very simple. We first take all the things that can be taken away from the mine and hide them in the woods. Just make sure that the little Japanese plane can't find it after dawn!"
"When it gets dark, we will move things back to the secret camp bit by bit like ants moving!"
“It’s different now than it was a few days ago!”
"The Japs in Datong are not strong enough. After we killed hundreds of them just now, they are already stretched thin!"
"Even if they know that we occupy the coal mine and are still here, they have no troops to come over to take back the coal mine and eliminate us! At most, they can send a few planes over to show off, drop a few bombs, and show off their power!"
"So we don't have to worry about the little devils coming after dawn to take back the supplies we just seized!"
"To put it more directly, I am still hoping that the Japanese will send troops to kill them, so that we can kill a few more Japanese, seize a few more guns, and continue to weaken the Japanese military strength in Datong!"
Hong Linfeng immediately reacted: "It's true!"
"If we just hide the seizures in the woods, we can not only move away the food, weapons and ammunition, and small equipment in the mining area, but we can also move all the larger power generation equipment back!"
"There are only a few small generators in the base area, and the power generated is too small. The repair shop complained to me more than once before the counter-mopping operation!"
"The power generation equipment here is large enough and can definitely meet the needs of the repair shop!"
Li Hao did not answer the question immediately, but frowned and fell into deep thought!
The power of several small-power generators currently used in the repair shop is indeed very small!
But even so, after dividing it into several parts, each part still weighs one or two hundred kilograms!
Li Hao clearly remembered that in order to transport these equipment back to the base area, several mules and horses were crushed during the march!
It is too heavy to be carried on one's shoulders, and the weight of all the accessories reaches the limit of what a mule or horse can bear!
Although Li Hao has never seen the large-scale power generation equipment mentioned by the chief of staff, he can imagine it!
Even if it is dismantled into several parts, the weight of each one cannot be less than 500 kilograms!
Except for cars, it is impossible for the garrison regiment to transport such equipment back over more than 100 kilometers on mountain roads!
But what the chief of staff said is true!
If a repair shop wants to develop into an arsenal, electricity is the most basic condition!
If this condition cannot be met, the so-called arsenal will become an empty talk and a joke!
If the garrison regiment wants to develop and grow, it is definitely unrealistic to rely solely on weapons and ammunition captured on the battlefield!
We must develop military industry and have our own arsenal to ensure that some weapons and ammunition can be self-sufficient!
This means that setting up an arsenal is a hurdle that must be passed on the road to the development of a garrison regiment!
And solving the power problem is a crucial part of this hurdle and must be solved!
Thinking of this, Li Hao secretly made up his mind!
Hong Linfeng replied very definitely: "Chief of Staff, you are right, we must take advantage of this golden opportunity to solve the power problem of the repair shop!"
"This opportunity was missed. No one knew that the power generation equipment would be seized in the year of the monkey and the horse in the moon!"
"Have you seen those generators? How much does each component weigh if taken apart?"
Hong Linfeng just thought that he had enough time to dismantle the power generation equipment and hide it in the woods around the mine!
As for transporting it back to the base, he hasn't thought about it yet!
He only came to his senses when he heard the group leader ask about the weight of the equipment, and then answered helplessly: "The whole equipment weighs at least two thousand kilograms. Even if it is broken into several parts, the smallest piece of equipment weighs five hundred kilograms. It can't be carried by mules and horses, and it can't be carried by people."
Can’t lift it!”
"Captain, I'm too fanciful. In order to avoid the Japanese, we can only take the mountain road back to the base!"
"Those equipment are too heavy and cannot be transported on mountain roads!"
"Now it seems that the power problem in the repair shop can only be solved by finding ways to seize a few more small generators in the future!"
Li Hao frowned and replied: "Don't give up in a hurry, I'm sure you can think of a solution!"
"A single piece of equipment weighs more than 500 kilograms, and there seems to be no other way to drag them except by car!"
"car!"
Li Hao thought about the eight vehicles that were not destroyed on the ambush battlefield, and a very bold idea slowly appeared in his mind!
The more I think about it, the more likely it is to succeed!
Then his eyes lit up and he shouted: "There is a way!"
"Guard, run immediately to ambush the battlefield and tell He Jun and Battalion Commander that all the eight vehicles that can still be used on the battlefield have been saved and pushed to the woods for me to hide them. I will be of great use then!"
"Chief of Staff, immediately organize people to dismantle those equipment!"
"Not only the power generation equipment, but all the large motors in the mines were also dismantled and then hidden in the woods!"
"As well as all the tracks and equipment in the mine, take them all away and hide them!"
"They are all made of good steel. If they are sent back to the base, they can be used to make guns!"
Hong Linfeng reacted quickly, staring with big eyes and shouting in disbelief: "Captain, don't you want to use a car to transport these equipment back?"
"Is this impossible?"
"Cars can only travel on roads, and the roads are under the control of the Japs! Transporting so much equipment back to the base area under the eyes of the Japs will definitely be harder than climbing to the sky!"
Li Hao answered confidently: "Chief of Staff, don't worry, I already have a specific idea in my mind, I guarantee it will be foolproof!"
"Taking a step back, even if we fail, we will lose equipment that does not belong to us in the first place!"
"Also, this time I not only have to transport the equipment from the mine back to the base area, but I also want to transport all the repair shops and ammunition factories that the Japs left behind in Datong City back to the base area!"
"According to intelligence, Datong is the front line for the confrontation between the Japanese army and the Shanxi-Sui Army and our Eighth Route Army. It happens to be between the Shanxi-Sui Army and the Northwestern Shanxi Eighth Route Army. It is a very important strategic location!"
"But there is also a problem. Regardless of the Jinsui Army or the Eighth Route Army of Northwestern Shanxi, as long as one party breaks through the Japanese blockade and penetrates behind the Japanese army, the connection between Datong and Taiyuan will be cut off, and the Japanese army stationed in Datong will become a
Alone!"
"In order to ensure that the Japanese troops on the front line still had sufficient ammunition to fight despite the blockade of Datong, the Japanese army not only hoarded a large amount of combat materials in Datong, but also sent some of the equipment captured from the Taiyuan Arsenal back then and sent it here to set up a repair shop.
Soho Ammunition Factory!”
"Although the repair shop is usually only responsible for repairing weapons worn out by the Japanese and puppet troops on the front line, if there are sufficient raw materials, it can completely manufacture 38-type guns, or even produce light machine guns on a small scale!"
"Not to mention the ammunition factory, because it is used by the little devils to save their lives at critical moments. It can not only produce rifle and heavy machine gun bullets, but also small-caliber mortar shells!"
"If we can take down the armory and ammunition factory built by the Japanese in Datong, our arsenal can be established immediately. There will be no problem at all in ensuring that the garrison is self-sufficient in weapons and ammunition. Maybe there will be a lot of surplus to support military divisions and
military region!"
"My original idea was to go to the Japanese arsenal in Taiyuan to deal with these equipment, but the difficulty would definitely be greater!"
"We are now in Datong, and it happens that Datong also has what we need. I just want to solve it here at once!"
"Compared with the Japanese arsenal in Taiyuan, the equipment in Datong City is obviously better!"
Hong Linfeng's eyes shone, and he was so moved by what Li Hao said!
Your own arsenal!
This is definitely the dream of countless Eighth Route Army soldiers!
But if you want to get it, the various difficulties and crises that the defense team needs to face are by no means the smallest bit!
Not to mention the unresolved transportation problem!
In Hong Linfeng's opinion, the big problem that must be faced in taking down the repair shop and ammunition factory is unsolvable!
Datong is a military town heavily defended by the Japanese!
It's not a spiritual hill, it's just surrounded by a city wall!
From the moment they occupied Datong, the Japanese were prepared to be trapped in Datong and defend Datong!
After one or two years of Japanese operations, Datong has been transformed into a military fortress!
No one knows how strong the large number of city defenses built on the city wall are!
But everyone can see the fortresses and bunkers lined up outside the city!
One by one, scattered outside the city!
No matter which bunker or bunker is attacked, several bunkers around it can provide fire support, ensuring that cross-fire blocks all channels for attacking the bunker!
Besides, although the garrison has sufficient strength now, it has a very fatal problem compared with when it attacked Lingqiu!
There is a serious shortage of heavy weapons!
When attacking Lingqiu, the troops had a large number of siege guns and sufficient ammunition!
But now the garrison regiment has only two mountain cannons and less than fifty rounds of artillery shells. It is not enough to destroy the gun towers and bunkers outside the city, let alone attack Datong City!
Thinking of this, Hong Linfeng only had one idea in his mind!
