Bright Sword's Bloody War of Resistance

Chapter 504 A Alliance’s Daily Equipment
Anyang, the Brigade Headquarters of the First Independent Mixed Brigade of the Japanese Army.

"Your Excellency, Head of the Brigade, Senda Hanbei from Neihuang sent two letters, one is from the head of the Eighth Route Army, and the other is a personal letter from Fushimi Palace!" The adjutant held two letters in his hand, Said excitedly.

"Yo Xi, the Eighth Route Army has finally responded!" Suzuki Sadaji, who had encountered many unlucky things recently, finally showed a trace of a smile on his face, stood up hastily, and took the two letters.

Suzuki Sadaji suppressed the excitement in his heart, first opened the letter written by Zhou Weihan, his expression kept changing, and then opened the letter from Fushimi Palace.

Seeing Suzuki Sadaji read the letter, Ichiro Sakamoto, the devil's chief of staff, asked tentatively, "Your Excellency, brigade commander, is there any good news from Fushimi Palace?"

"Mr. Sakamoto, it is indeed good news. His Majesty Fushimi Palace is expected to be redeemed, but the Eighth Route Army is a lion!"

"Does the Eighth Route Army want another bullet production line? Your Excellency, brigade commander, although the lost bullet production line did not fall into the hands of the Zhinan Eighth Route Army, but they must be inseparable. This group of Eighth Route Army is too shameless!" Ban Ichiro cursed angrily. .

"This group of Eighth Route Army wants a regiment of weapons and equipment and full ammunition supplies!" Suzuki Sadaji said through gritted teeth.

After Zhou Weihan talked with Fushimi Gong Mingyi, although Fushimi Gong Mingyi did not express his position clearly, he very cooperatively wrote a letter to the Japanese army in Anyang.

In the letter, Fushimi Palace was sincere and sorry for the trouble caused to Suzuki Sadaji, and asked Suzuki Sadaji to meet the conditions of the Eighth Route Army as soon as possible and rescue him.

Before Zhou Weihan wrote the letter, Zhou Weihan and Tan Lin had discussed that it would be unrealistic to ask the little devil for a bullet production line.

Now the Hebei-Shandong-Henan Military Region is not short of food. Even if a new regiment of more than 2000 soldiers is added, the existing food is enough to supply the troops for half a year.

In comparison, what is most lacking at present is weapons, equipment and ammunition supplies.

In the previous anti-recalcitrant campaign, except for a few weapons seized from the landlord's armed forces, most of the weapons and equipment seized by the recalcitrant army were dilapidated and the models of weapons were messy.

Zhang Faming, the director of military supplies, picked out the available weapons. Among the nearly 7000 recruits undergoing training, at least half of them did not have weapons. During training, two or three recruits could only share one rifle.

Anyway, the bullet production line had already been obtained, so Zhou Weihan accepted it as soon as it was ready. In the letter, he only mentioned a small request, stating that he only needed weapons and equipment for one regiment.

As for the main force, for example, when Jing Dagang's regiment set out from Tainan, each soldier was issued 30 to 40 rounds of rifle ammunition, plus the supplies carried by the regiment's supply company. 70 to 80 rifle rounds.

After the previous Hebei-Shandong-Henan anti-stubborn battle and the feint attack on the Japanese army in Anyang to seize the bullet production line, after these two battles, the ammunition supplies of the participating regiments were all depleted, especially the 6.5mm rifle ammunition used by the Sanba Dagai.

However, it is too far to transport supplies from the Tainan Military Region, so how can it be possible to obtain high efficiency from the little devil?

The specific weapons and equipment are as follows: 1000 Japanese-style [-] large caps, [-] rounds of bullets, [-] Maxim heavy machine guns, [-] rounds of bullets, [-] Czech light machine guns, [-] rounds of bullets, Eighty-one Type [-] grenades, [-] grenades, twelve Type [-] infantry guns, [-] shells, [-] grenades, and many waterproof felts, marching tents, Type [-] binoculars, Auxiliary equipment such as engineer shovel.

At the end of the letter, Zhou Weihan also specifically stated that similar letters were delivered to the [-]th Division and the [-]th Cavalry Brigade in the south.

When Suzuki Sadaji stated the conditions that Zhou Weihan presented one by one, Sakamoto Ichiro couldn't help yelling: "Baga, this Eighth Route Army is so cunning, this is blatant extortion, Your Excellency, brigade commander, do you want to agree to the other party's conditions?"

"Hmph, it's not certain who will win the battle in the end. With such a large number of weapons and equipment, the Eighth Route Army will definitely send a large number of people to transport them. This time, I just took this opportunity to lure the snake out of the hole and severely damage the Eighth Route Army in one fell swoop. But Fushimi Palace must be rescued by us. Only in this way can the previous shame be washed away, Sakamoto-kun, prepare for this matter immediately, hurry up!"

"Hi!"

Lei Family Village.

Dong Jiang came back and reported that all the letters had been sent to the Japanese defense areas in the three places.

"Okay, let's wait for the good news!" Zhou Weihan said with a smile.

"Old Zhou, to be honest, even I think your request is a little too much. You are really a lion, can you agree?" Compared with Zhou Weihan's optimism, Tan Lin still didn't have much confidence at this time.

"Hey, Old Tan, you underestimate the worth of a prince named Fushimi Gong Mingyi. When the Japanese army swept up the base area, a Japanese army commander was captured by our Eighth Route Army. The asking price was not half of what it is now. The Japanese army Yoshio Shinozuka, the former commander of the First Army, readily agreed, but I regretted it after thinking about it!
Now anyway, the letter has been given out, and the pressure has been given to the little devil. It's not a loss-making business, and the little devil is not stupid! "Zhou Weihan's analysis can be described as clear and logical.

Ren Zhou Weihan broke his head and thought, but he didn't expect that when he traded Sakata Nobuzhe, the middleman Isamu Terauchi made a fortune.

"You're right. However, the little devil will definitely not let it go. I think it will not go well when the day comes!" Tan Lin had already anticipated certain scenes in advance.

"Naturally, but as long as Fushimi Gong Mingyi is in our hands for a minute, the little devil will not dare to do anything wrong!"

"Fighting must be fought. Now that the army has undergone a winter training, it is a good time to expand the base area. Instead of attacking the strongholds and county towns of the Japanese army, it is better to draw the Japanese army out and wipe out a group of Japanese troops through field battles. Reduce the pressure in the Hebei-Shandong-Henan area in the future!" Zhou Weihan said.

Both Suzuki Sadaji and Zhou Weihan were not willing to give up, and Zhou Weihan was the master who took the first step and followed the third step, and he had already planned in his heart.

"Well, as long as you know it in your heart, I support your decision!"

On the same day, members of the [-]th Division of the Japanese Army and the [-]th Cavalry Brigade received letters sent by Zhou Weihan.

Faced with the sudden good news, the commanders of the two Japanese troops felt that a pie had fallen from the sky.

For the [-]th Division, this batch of weapons and equipment was painful to raise, but it was not difficult after all.

But for the [-]th Cavalry Brigade, it was a big problem. Although the Japanese army was called a cavalry brigade, it was full of troops, and the number was not as large as that of the Japanese infantry regiment. Enough to stump it.
