I am helping

Chapter 353 A gift from the factory manager!

近卫第2师团有战斗力的不过3个步兵联队和1个炮兵联队，加起来最多1万2千人，而他的手里还有两张王牌。

Although it is said that the Taihang column traveled more than 100 kilometers in two days, and fought a few battles during the period, the troops were a little tired.

But the little devil was not feeling well either. He was constantly harassed and blocked by the Eighth Route Army all the way, so the devil must have been more tired.

"You don't need to come to see me first." The chief of staff said, "We must ensure that the task is completed!"

"Yes!" Li Yunlong's expression was serious.

Next, Li Yunlong communicated with the chiefs about the battle plan for the 2nd Guards Division.

Finally, Li Yunlong paid a military salute to the boss and the chief of staff, turned around and walked out.

The chief of staff stopped Li Yunlong: "Wait, where is your belt?"

Li Yunlong said: "Report to the Chief of Staff, my belt was broken during the rapid march last night."

The chief of staff untied the belt on his waist, and handed it to Li Yunlong: "It's okay if the coach doesn't lift his spirits, just use mine."

"Don't, don't, chief, this is inappropriate." Li Yunlong said hastily.

"Take it for you, this is an order!" the chief of staff said.

"Yes!" Li Yunlong took the belt from the Chief of Staff.

The boss said to Li Yunlong: "Li Yunlong, this belt was brought back by the Chief of Staff from Frunze Military Academy, you should cherish it, kid."

Upon hearing this, Li Yunlong said: "There is a way to come and not to be indecent. Next time, I will give the chief a little devil's general officer's knife."

"Haha, good!" The chief of staff nodded and said happily, "I'm waiting for your general sword!"

Holding the belt in his hand, Li Yunlong turned around and walked out, while tying the belt around his waist, Li Yunlong straightened his waist, as expected of Furongzhi's belt, the feel was different.

When he came outside the headquarters, he took the reins and whip from Huang Erhu, and got on the horse.

"Drive!" While the horseshoes were rolling, the heroic postures of Li Yunlong and Huang Erhu on horseback quickly disappeared at the entrance of the village.

In less than half an hour, Li Yunlong returned to the headquarters of the Taihang Column.

At this time, Zhao Gang, Cheng Shifa, Ding Wei, Kong Jie, Lu Yingjun and others had already gathered, and they were all waiting for Li Yunlong to deploy a combat meeting from the headquarters.

Li Yunlong glanced at everyone, walked quickly to the map, stared at the map and said:

"The devils currently attacking the Huangyadong Arsenal include the 36th Regiment and the 2nd Guards Division."

"The 36th Wing will be dealt with by the brothers, and the 2nd Guards Division will be dealt with by our Taihang Column."

"That's great!" Ding Wei, Cheng Shifa, and Kong Jiedun grinned as soon as these words came out.

Although the purpose of the Taihang Column's return was to deal with the 2nd Division, everyone was very excited when they heard the order.

"At present, the 2nd Guards Division is only a dozen kilometers away from the Huangyadong Arsenal."

"Arrived at the outskirts of Huangyadong Armory at about noon."

Li Yunlong tapped a point on the map with his finger, indicating the current position of the 2nd Guards Division of the Japanese Army.

"Time is tight and the task is heavy, so let me make a long story short."

"The devil is more than ten kilometers northwest of us. There is only one road to enter Huangya Cave, from Xiangyangtan, Huojiazhuang, and then to Moshi."

"This is the periphery of our Huangyadong Arsenal."

"The battlefield where we fight the 2nd Guards Division is here."

Everyone's eyes sank, and they looked at the map, only to see that the location of Li Yunlong's finger was Huojiazhuang.

The terrain near the Huangyadong Armory is crisscrossed with ravines. A few kilometers to the east of Huangyadong, there is a large canyon. The terrain is flat from north to south, and there are steep mountains on both sides of the canyon.

This canyon is the only road for the devils to reach the arsenal, and the road to the Huangyadong arsenal happens to be in a T-shape with this grand canyon.

Although there are several small roads leading to the arsenal nearby, the mountain roads are more difficult to walk, and heavy weapons and luggage cannot be carried.

And it's relatively hidden. Unless there are traitors leading the way, the devils will definitely not find out.

"The third attack group ambushed in Siding Mountain, the second attack group ambushed in Xiaozhai, and the first attack group ambush on the hill behind Huojiazhuang."

"The cavalry detoured to Gujia Village along the path to cut off the enemy's retreat."

"The main force of my new regiment will ambush in front of the devils."

"As soon as the 2nd Guards Division comes in, let's close the door and beat the dog!"

This cemetery was selected by the boss and the chief of staff for the 2nd Division of the Japanese Guards.

Li Yunlong had just returned from Changzhi, so he didn't have time to scout the terrain. Fortunately, Li Yunlong had been there several times and was familiar with the terrain there.

However, Li Yunlong has the final say on the specific assignment of combat tasks, and the head of the headquarters does not interfere.

Afterwards, Li Yunlong looked at Lu Yingjun: "Lu Yingjun, have the artillery positions and false positions been set up?"

"Reporting to the head!" Lu Yingjun nodded and said, "It's all set up, don't worry, you only need to watch the performance of our Sword Squadron."

"Okay!" Li Yunlong said, "Your Sword Squadron is doing business, I don't worry!"

After a pause, Li Yunlong said again: "Is everyone clear about their respective tasks?"

"It's clear!" Everyone shouted in unison.

"Are there any questions?" Li Yunlong glanced at everyone and asked.

"No."

"If not, the meeting will end!" Li Yunlong said, "By the way, within two hours, each department must arrive at the designated location and prepare for an ambush."

Everyone walked out, then got on their horses and rode towards their respective troops.

Li Yunlong stared at the map for a while, and was about to order the headquarters to be transferred, when Huang Erhu walked in and gave a military salute: "Report to the commander-in-chief, Director Cheng wants to see you!"

"Director Cheng?" Li Yunlong was still on the map, subconsciously asked, "Which Director Cheng?"

Huang Erhu said, "It's Director Cheng of our arsenal."

Li Yunlong: "Please hurry up."

After a while, Cheng Mingsheng walked into the headquarters and was overjoyed when he saw Li Yunlong.

Then the two saluted each other with a military salute, Cheng Mingsheng tightly grasped Li Yunlong's hand, and shook it twice vigorously.

There was a warm smile on his face: "Leader Li, long time no see!"

Li Yunlong said: "Director Cheng, hello."

Cheng Mingsheng said: "Calling you Director Cheng is a distinction. You call me Lao Cheng, what if I call you Lao Li?"

"No problem." Li Yunlong said, "I, Li Yunlong, have been lucky in my life to make friends with a great intellectual like you, Lao Cheng."

Cheng Mingsheng is an engineer, and he is also an overseas student. To put it bluntly, Li Yunlong is just a martial artist. Except for the delivery to the production line, the two of them had nothing to do before.

Cheng Mingsheng said: "Old Li, you are too modest, who in the Eighth Route Army doesn't know your name?"

"Old Cheng, the battle is about to start, why haven't you evacuated yet?" Li Yunlong still had other things to do and didn't want to chat with him, so he quickly changed the subject.

"Why are you evacuating?" Cheng Mingsheng said, "Because your Taihang column returned to aid, the headquarters ordered our arsenal not to evacuate. Currently, we are working overtime at full capacity to produce weapons and ammunition. I came to you this time to deliver same gift."

"what gift?"

Li Yunlong's tone was surprised, and secretly said that the factory manager Cheng was quite enthusiastic, and he brought a gift to see our old Li.

Cheng Mingsheng's mouth curled up: "I brought you 100 60mm mortars and 2 shells."

"What?" Li Yunlong's eyes widened, "100 mortars, 2 shells?"

"This is the output of your arsenal for more than half a month, right?"

"If you give it to me, you won't be afraid that when the head of the headquarters asks you to deliver it, you won't be able to get it out?"

"It's about 10 days of overtime work. Our arsenal delivers on a monthly basis, and there are still more than 10 days before the next delivery. These mortars and shells are lent to you." Cheng Mingsheng said, "Waiting for you After this battle is over, you can pay me back."

"Thank you very much. Please rest assured. After this battle is over, in addition to returning you 100 mortars and 2 shells, there will be a big surprise for you."

Li Yunlong was touched in his heart.

Director Cheng is not afraid that he will be defeated. If the 100 mortars are reimbursed during the battle, he will be punished if he fails to deliver the goods.

However, Li Yunlong does need these 100 mortars and 2 rounds of shells now. After all, the stronger the firepower, the more devils he can kill, and the greater the chance of winning.

Cheng Mingsheng's eyes lit up suddenly, and his tone was full of expectation: "What a surprise, it won't be another production line, right?"

Last time it was the mortar and smokeless gunpowder production line, what is the surprise this time?
"Haha, keep it secret for now, and you will know when the time comes."

Li Yunlong pretended to be a joke, but the real situation was that he himself didn't know what surprise Chen Feng's brother would give him.

The two walked out of the headquarters hand in hand, and saw a transport team outside the door, there must be dozens of fully loaded mule carts, which were the mortars and shells brought by Director Cheng.

"This is my transport team. Unloading is too time-consuming. You can take it away, Lao Li." Cheng Mingsheng glanced at the transport team, and then at Li Yunlong.

"Then I won't be polite!" Li Yunlong laughed.

Watching the factory manager Cheng go away, Li Yunlong looked away, turned around and ordered the communications soldiers to notify Zhang Dabiao, Zheng Yu and Chen Dugu to the headquarters.

Not long after, the three battalion commanders came to the headquarters hand in hand.

Li Yunlong evenly distributed the 100 mortars to the three main infantry battalions.

Although the artillery battalion of the new regiment did not come back, there is an artillery company under each main infantry battalion.

Although there are not so many artillery, if the firepower is covered, it is only necessary to let the artillery adjust the shooting elements for the mortar, and the infantry can just load the shells into the running tube.

The rate of fire of the mortar depends on the proficiency of the gunner.

And there are plenty of shells, a full 2 rounds, which is 2 bases.

This also made Li Yunlong feel that the only one in the Eighth Route Army who is richer than the new regiment is probably the Huangyadong Arsenal.

The special task force responsible for defending Huangyadong this time was also very wealthy. In addition to being equipped with 30 60mm mortars, each soldier was allocated an average of 50 border-made grenades.

The freedom of grenades has been truly realized. In addition, bullets and mortar shells are also sufficient, and the arsenal can replenish as much as it consumes at any time.

Nowadays, the hand grenades made in the border area are quite different from those made in the front area. The power of the hand grenades made in the border area filled with smokeless gunpowder is no longer the same.

Li Yunlong calculated carefully. These 100 60mm mortars plus the mortars currently equipped by each regiment are estimated to exceed 200 mortars and more than 3 mortar shells.

This is equivalent to another trump card in his hand!
