I am helping

"Minister Zhang, Minister Zhang..."

At the gate of the logistics compound of the Eighth Route Army Headquarters, Li Yunlong walked in, howling at the top of his voice.

In the quilt factory, Zhang Wanhe, who was stepping on the sewing machine skillfully, was taken aback for a moment. He handed over the work at hand to the person next to him, got up and walked outside, with a puzzled expression on his face.

What is this kid looking for me in such a hurry?
You're not here to ask me for a grenade again, are you?

That's not right, this kid hasn't been to the logistics department for several months.

Seems to have made a fortune?
"I said who is it? It turned out to be the head of Li Datuan. You boy has nothing to go to the Three Treasures Hall. Why are you here today?"

Zhang Wanhe walked to the door, looked at Li Datuan, who was wearing a gun holster and commanding the army leisurely, with his hands behind his back, and asked with a vigilant expression.

Every time this kid comes, he either asks for a grenade, or reaches out for a bag of explosives, or just wants a bullet.

Li Datuan sat down on the stone bench in the yard, and put the holster and command saber on the stone table: "Minister Zhang, quickly bring me 100 boxes of your grenades."

"No, no, not even a box of grenades."

"Don't you guys have your own sources of weapons, don't you think I'm making them in the border area?"

"Is it because you offended him so badly that he stopped providing you with weapons and ammunition?"

Zhang Wanhe's heart was full of alarm bells, Li Yunlong was the most difficult to deal with among these regiment leaders, like a dog's skin plaster.

Li Yunlong said: "To be honest, the grenade made in your area is really not very good. Once it explodes, there are only two halves, and sometimes it can only be heard."

"Not to mention the German-style big tumor, even the little devil's cantaloupe grenade can't compare."

"But having said that, it's a good plaster if it can pull out the pus, it's better than nothing"

"Recently, I expanded a county brigade. My county brigade has less than 100 people, and the grenades are in short supply. Hurry up and bring me [-] boxes."

The hand grenades produced by the Eighth Route Army Arsenal mainly have two specifications, one is long-handled grenades, 30 in a box, and the other is short-handled grenades, 50 in a box.

In addition to the Huangyadong arsenal, the Jinzhong and Jinchaji military regions also have their own arsenals.

Moreover, with the improvement of manufacturing technology, the annual output of hand grenades in Huangyadong Arsenal alone has reached 10.

Based on the calculation of the 129 regiments of the 30th Division, the annual supply of each regiment exceeds 3000 grenades.

"You are a regular army commander, what kind of county brigade are you doing?"

"Isn't this playing the piano randomly?"

Zhang Wanhe cursed: "I will give you 30 boxes at most, and there will be no extra boxes."

"unless…"

"Give me your Japanese command knife, and I will order up to 10 more boxes of grenades for you."

Zhang Wanhe's eyes were sharp, and he had already seen a command knife brought by Li Yunlong on the stone table, and there was a touch of heat in his eyes.

Li Yunlong said disgustedly: "I think you want some treasure, isn't it just a command knife, take it, and you give me 20 boxes of grenades, and I will get you a Japanese girl when I fight next time."

Li Yunlong knew Zhang Wanhe well and knew that this kid had a good plan, so he specially brought a Shao Zuo command knife today.

Zhang Wanhe immediately scolded with a smile: "Go to hell..."

"That's right." Li Yunlong said, "You pack another 2000 sets of new military uniforms for me."

"Why?"

"2000 sets of new military uniforms?"

Zhang Wanhe played with the newly acquired Shao Zuo's command knife, and when he heard Li Yunlong's words, his eyes suddenly became vigilant again.

"Just because I bought you 4 sets of gray woolen coats at the beginning of the year, and helped you solve the problem of our 129th division's main force spending the winter."

"I'll exchange 4 sets of cotton-padded clothes for you for 2000 sets of military uniforms. If you're not willing, I'm at a loss."

"Hurry up and get ready for me, there are still a lot of things waiting for me to deal with in the regiment."

Counting the county brigade, there are now more than 3500 members of the Xinyi Regiment. It is a big problem for so many people to eat and drink.

But fortunately, of the more than 200 million catties of grain seized by the Xinyi Regiment when they captured Yangquan, the Xinyi Regiment received more than 40 catties, and 10 catties from the capture of Shouyang County.

In addition to the food that had not been eaten before, based on the ration of two catties per day for soldiers of the Eighth Route Army, the new regiment would not be short of food for at least three months.

This is also why Li Yunlong dared to recruit the No. 1800 militiamen. If he has food and guns, he will be strong, and now he lacks military uniforms.

Only a small part of the militiamen in the county brigade wore military uniforms, and they were old military uniforms that were washed white and patched.

Military uniforms also represent combat power. The same group of people wearing military uniforms will have a higher overall combat power.

Because handsome.

"Where do you look like a regiment leader?"

"Rogue."

"They're all as soft-hearted as your regiment, so I, the head of logistics, don't do it."

Minister Zhang snorted, and said again: "Okay, I can give you 2000 sets of new military uniforms, come on, don't thank me first, I won't give it for nothing, you have to exchange it with something."

"This year, our 129th Division has expanded several regiments, and winter is about to begin, and the cotton coats for these regiments have not yet been found."

"Think of a way again and get me tens of thousands of cotton-padded clothes. As long as you promise, 2000 sets of new military uniforms can be taken away today."

Upon hearing this, Li Yunlong said in a big bag: "What am I, isn't it just tens of thousands of sets of cotton clothes? This matter is on me."

"However, 2000 sets of new military uniforms are exchanged for tens of thousands of cotton-padded clothes for me, and you are taking advantage of the fucking ones."

"Give me another 20 boxes of grenades."

Minister Zhang laughed: "Okay, then I will give you another 20 boxes of grenades."

As long as Li Yunlong can help him solve the problem of the troops overwintering, let alone 20 boxes of grenades, 100 boxes of grenades will not be a problem.

At the moment, Minister Zhang asked people to prepare 60 boxes of grenades and 2000 sets of military uniforms.

Minister Zhang asked his subordinates to make a pot of tea, and then said to Li Yunlong: "My transportation team has a mission today, you have to find the transportation team yourself."

Li Yunlong snorted and said: "Don't worry, I brought a transport team and brought you more than 3000 sets of cloth for military uniforms."

These more than 3000 bolts of cloth were seized from the cloth shop opened by the devil when he captured Yangquan County. He planned to bring it to Minister Zhang to exchange for 2000 sets of new military uniforms.

Unexpectedly, Minister Zhang asked Li Yunlong to write a blank check and directly gave him 2000 sets of new military uniforms.

However, these cloths are not needed to be transported back to the Xinyi regiment, so they can simply be given to the logistics department.

"You dog day turned out to be well prepared."

Minister Zhang smiled happily.

……

Taiyuan.

Japanese First Army Headquarters, Commander's Office.

Yoshio Shinozuka stood looking up at the map on the wall.

The figure is as motionless as a sculpture.

"Your Excellency, it's time for a meeting."

Combat staff officer Masataro Fukuda walked up to Yoshio Shinozuka and reminded him in a low voice.

Only then did Yoshio Shinozuka come back to his senses, he raised his wrist and looked at the time on his watch, turned around and went out to the combat conference room.

As soon as the left foot stepped into the conference room, a group of officers who were whispering to each other immediately stood up and nodded at Yoshio Shinozuka: "Your Excellency, Commander!"

Shinozuka Yoshio walked to the main seat, pressed his hands together, and all the devil officers sat back on the chairs in unison.

On the left are Lieutenant General Iseki Ren, head of the 36th Division, and Lieutenant General Hirata Kenkichi, head of the 37th Division.

还有第9旅团长越生虎之助少将、第29旅团长山冈道武少将、第29旅团第12联队第5步兵大队队长山崎冶平中佐。

In addition, there are Hideyoshi Kusuyama, Chief of Staff of the First Army, Toshimatsu Kasai, Chief of Staff of Communications, Takeo Itou, Chief of Intelligence, and Yataro Fukuda, Chief of Staff of Operations.

According to the usual practice, Yamazaki Yohei is not eligible to participate in this level of meeting.

However, after Shinozuka Yoshio and Kusuyama Hideyoshi's "Central Flowering Operation Plan" was handed in, Tada Hayao quickly agreed to this operation plan and transferred the 29th Brigade to the command of the First Army.

And Tada Hayao personally ordered Yamazaki Yohei's general as the bait for sweeping the army this time.

Yamazaki, who graduated from the Imperial Army University, is an excellent tactician, and his tactical command ability is no less than that of the general captain.

The old devil Tada Hayao was putting all his eggs in one basket this time. If this battle could not solve the main force of the 129th Division, then he would definitely not be able to get away with it.

"Mr. Nan Shan, please!"

Shinozuka Yoshio extended his hand to Kusuyama Hideyoshi, who was on the right. This plan was proposed and perfected by Kusuyama Hideyoshi.

So Shinozuka Yoshio handed over the combat deployment to Kusuyama Hideyoshi.

"Roms!"

When Shinozuka Yoshio sat down, Kusuyama Hideyoshi stood up and pointed at the simulated sand table on the table with a long wooden pole.

"Everyone, the Eighth Route has launched two large-scale attacks so far. In just two months, hundreds of kilometers of railways and thousands of kilometers of roads have been destroyed."

"Thousands of strongholds, gun towers, and bunkers were pulled out, and more than [-] imperial soldiers were killed or injured."

"As for the loss of the empire, it is simply countless!"

"With the approval of Commander Tada of the North China Front Army, the imperial army is preparing to sweep up the bandit areas in the southeast of Shanxi on the Eighth Route!"

"Among the bandit areas on the Eighth Route, the bandit area in southeast Shanxi is the most rampant. Therefore, this time, our First Army will definitely solve the banditry in southeast Shanxi!"

"The specific combat deployment is..."

Speaking of this, Kusuyama Hideyoshi's eyes flashed sharply, and all the senior devil officers stood up in unison to listen to the order.

"Lieutenant General Jingguan led the 36nd and 222rd Wings of the 223th Division to move to Xiangyuan and Wuxiang."

"Lieutenant General Hirata led the 37th and 226th Wings of the 227th Division and the Mountain Artillery Wing to move southward to Heshun and Liao County."

"Major General Shan Gang led the 29th Brigade to leave Hanchang Road."

"Major General Yueshenghu led the 9th Brigade to move southward to the Baijin line."

"The most important thing is Nakazu Yamazaki..."

Kusuyama Hideyoshi looked at Yamazaki Yohei, and Yamazaki Yohei suddenly paused: "Hi!"

"When the mopping-up troops from all walks of life arrive at the designated location, Zhongzuo Yamazaki will lead a mixed detachment into the bandit area of ​​the Eighth Route, and draw out the main force of the Eighth Route!"

Yamazaki Yohei is about to lead this mixed detachment to serve as bait, with a total strength of more than 1300 people, even more than the full brigade.

The strength of the Japanese army's full-scale elite brigade was only about 1000.

This mixed detachment is composed of the remnants of the fourth brigade and the elite backbones drawn from various units, and the equipment configuration is also very luxurious.

Captain Yamazaki Yohei is even more of a fanatic. When he heard that such a dangerous task was entrusted to him, he didn't have the slightest fear in his heart, but was ecstatic.

Stimulate!

Kusuyama Hideyoshi continued: "Once the Yamazaki detachment draws out the main force of the Eighth Route Army, the mopping-up troops from all directions will immediately rush forward and eat up the main force of the Eighth Route Army in the bandit area in southeast Shanxi!"

"Everyone!" Shinozuka Yoshio stood up and said with a pause, "Please!"

"Hi!"

All the devil officers shouted in unison.
