"Destroy them all and prevent a single bullet from flowing into North China from the pharmaceutical factory and threatening the safety of the imperial army." Colonel Sakuragi replied with a murderous look on his face.
Another subordinate reminded: "What if there are no weapons and ammunition inside, and our judgment is wrong, and those things are really raw materials for penicillin?"
"Destroyed just the same!" Colonel Sakuragi replied.
The murderous aura emanating from his body has not weakened at all.
"Because of penicillin, the survival rate of Chinese troops on the battlefield after being injured has greatly increased."
"These seriously injured men recovered due to penicillin, took up arms again, fought against the imperial army, and consumed the imperial army's strength."
"However, because the Imperial Army cannot produce penicillin on its own, the price of penicillin purchased on the black market is high and the quantity is small. The supply exceeds demand and can only meet the needs of officers above second lieutenant. Ordinary soldiers still use sulfonamide tablets for treatment, and the survival rate is far lower than that in China.
army."
"This is something the empire will never tolerate."
""My superiors gave me a special order for this: obtain the penicillin production formula and technology at all costs. If it is impossible to obtain it, the pharmaceutical factory can be destroyed."
"Penicillin that the empire cannot use cannot be used by the Chinese army."
"For this reason I decided to make a last ditch effort!"
Several subordinates stood up from their seats at the same time, looking at Colonel Sakuragi, waiting for orders.
"Recently, the empire is planning a major bombing campaign against Chongqing. I plan to use this bombing campaign to obtain the penicillin production formula and technology."
"Specifically we do this..."
When the Chongqing Branch of the Super High School began to plan a new conspiracy against the pharmaceutical factory, Li Hao was preparing for the upcoming departure.
He had already thought about it. There were twenty trucks, and weapons and ammunition were placed on the bottom of each truck. The top layer was covered with equipment and raw materials needed to establish a branch factory.
In this way, he can send away all the weapons and ammunition that cannot be loaded in the secret ammunition depot at once.
In order to ensure that they arrived in Yan'an safely, Li Hao once again found the office and reported his second transaction with the Americans.
In the heavily guarded office, Li Hao sat opposite the chief with a serious look on his face.
The chief sat in his seat and looked at the list in his hand over and over again. It took him a long time to recover from the shock.
"Comrade Li Hao, I no longer know what words to use to describe this transaction."
"All I can say is that you have once again created a miracle."
"I can accept the weapons and ammunition in the list on behalf of the Eighth Route Army. It's useless for you to keep them anyway, but we can't take the gold. You can keep it for yourself."
"If one day the revolution really needs it, we will borrow it from you."
"You have done enough for the revolution. We can never ask for so much money in vain."
"In addition, even if I agree to accept the weapons and ammunition, they cannot be moved for the time being and can only be temporarily hidden in the pharmaceutical factory."
"According to intelligence, the Japanese have noticed the pharmaceutical factory and suspect that the 500 anti-aircraft machine guns equipped by our Eighth Route Army flowed out of the pharmaceutical factory."
"At this time, they must be keeping a close eye on the pharmaceutical factory."
"Those weapons and ammunition will be targeted as soon as they move, and then destroyed by the Japanese and puppet troops."
This result was something Li Hao had not expected, especially since the Japanese army already knew that the Eighth Route Army purchased 500 anti-aircraft machine guns through a pharmaceutical factory.
If this is the case, the equipment, weapons and ammunition that he will escort to Chongqing in a few days will definitely be targeted.
When the time comes, I will not only have to defend myself against the local government and the army, but also against the air raids by the Japs and the ubiquitous attacks from the Super High School.
However, this accident did not make Li Hao give up the transportation.
Although the convoy may be targeted and may encounter various sneak attacks along the way, Li Hao is still full of confidence.
He believed that there was no problem that he and the commandos could not solve.
After thinking for two minutes, he answered decisively: "Don't worry, chief, I will solve this problem!"
"Those weapons and ammunition are stored in the pharmaceutical factory. I will find a way to transfer them to the base area."
"And that's why I came here today."
"Three days later, I personally escorted a convoy to Xi'an, which included six heavy mortars, 600 rounds of heavy mortar shells, 300 rounds of heavy artillery shells, and some equipment and raw materials for making penicillin."
"Including some of the equipment and raw materials for building the Xi'an branch, there are a total of twenty trucks."
"I hope our underground party operating in Xi'an will prepare enough manpower to handle this batch of weapons and ammunition."
"But we must ensure that the personnel involved in the operation are absolutely loyal."
"Because this transportation is just the beginning."
"Three hundred rounds of heavy artillery shells and three hundred rounds of heavy mortar shells are for the garrison regiment. I have contacted the garrison regiment and asked them to send people to sneak into Xi'an in advance and wait at the road that the convoy must pass. As soon as the convoy arrives, bring the things
Give it to them."
"Six heavy mortars, three hundred rounds of heavy mortar shells, equipment and raw materials sent to Yan'an, this requires the underground party to coordinate, through their secret channels, either to Yan'an, or directly to Yan'an
To the front lines."
The chief did not answer, but asked with a serious face: "Comrade Li Hao, you know that there are tigers in the mountains, so you prefer to travel to the tiger mountains?"
"The Japanese keep a close eye on pharmaceutical factories. I'm sure the fleet will be targeted as soon as it leaves the factory area."
"And the Japanese will definitely attack the convoy at all costs and destroy everything on board."
"According to statistics, the aviation arm of the Japanese North China Front has destroyed 29 aircraft and damaged 18 in the past few months due to attacks by our air defense forces, resulting in heavy losses."
"Because the Special High School did not discover these anti-aircraft machine guns in advance and give the front army an early warning, they had to take the blame for this defeat."
"Several senior military officers were replaced and sent to military courts."
"So now the special high school is like an enraged tiger, and the pharmaceutical factory is a thorn in their side. As long as there is a chance, they will kill you at all costs."
"For the sake of safety, I suggest you not to twitch the tiger's beard now, and focus on stability."
"When the Japanese are no longer watching so closely, we will find a way to transport it."
The chief's proposal is definitely the best.
But Li Hao knew the history that the chief did not know.
In a month or two, the world-famous Hundred Regiment War will begin.
This was the Eighth Route Army's first major strategic counterattack since the Anti-Japanese War. It not only achieved a large number of results and suppressed the arrogance of the Japanese and puppet troops, but also saved the country's sluggish anti-Japanese morale, thwarted the Japanese conspiracy to force China to surrender, and killed three birds with one stone.
.
However, because the Eighth Route Army lacked weapons and ammunition, especially heavy siege weapons, the Eighth Route Army paid a huge price during the entire campaign.
Especially in the subsequent retaliatory raids by the Japanese army, all participating troops suffered heavy losses.
Although the one hundred and fifty heavy mortars in his hand are not many, due to their large caliber, their power is far greater than that of ordinary mountain cannons.
Can both attack and defend.
If the Eighth Route Army had their help on the battlefield, its losses would definitely be much smaller.
This is the only contribution Li Hao can make to this great battle.
In addition, he also wanted to send back enough heavy artillery shells to the garrison, so that the twelve heavy artillery equipped by the garrison could also participate in this battle.
Although it cannot change the situation of the war, it can certainly severely damage the Japanese and puppet troops on local battlefields and expand the results of the war.
