Chapter 648 Can't Let Devils Live Comfortably!

When they were in the new regiment, Kong Jie and Ding Wei had seen the power of heavy howitzers.

Siege, building reinforced concrete permanent fortifications, and fighting infantry are definitely real killers.

Of course, the premise is that there must be air supremacy. Without air supremacy, once such a big killer appears on the battlefield, even if it has anti-aircraft firepower, the devil's plane will definitely use suicide attacks to deal with heavy howitzers. Heavy howitzers are too much of a threat to enemy fortifications and infantry.

This time, the two brothers Ding Wei and Kong Jie each received four 4mm heavy howitzers, and celebrated the New Year happily.

However, compared with Li Yunlong, he is nothing compared to the big witch.

This kid Li Yunlong killed a lieutenant general and two major generals without making a sound, and directly obtained 32 heavy howitzers!

Even if Li Yunlong handed over 16 heavy howitzers to the Eighth Route Army headquarters, there would still be 16 heavy howitzers left in the new regiment.

Plus the previous 8, a total of 24 heavy howitzers.

Now the artillery firepower of the new regiment has steadily stepped up to a higher level.

"It's true that people are more dead than others, and goods are thrown away!" Kong Jie said with emotion, not a little envious in his heart, but not jealous.

Even though he met with him, Kong Jie would definitely scold Li Yunlong for being worthless, for such a big business can be done alone.

But Kong Jie was really happy in his heart, happy that his old comrade-in-arms made a fortune again, and happy that the strength of the Eighth Route Army had increased by one point.

"In this way, the new regiment and the headquarters each have 24 heavy howitzers, which is the size of two heavy howitzers..."

Ding Wei's tone was excited:

"This batch of heavy howitzers can be used as our Eighth Route Army's trump card and strategic weapons."

Kong Jie nodded and readily agreed: "That's right, the artillery firepower of our Eighth Route Army should surpass that of the First Army and even the North China Front Army, but the ammunition is too short."

In the current Eighth Route Army, there are almost 75 artillery regiments above 20 mm in size.

The artillery units under the jurisdiction of the New First Regiment, the Independent Regiment, and the New Second Regiment alone are equivalent to the size of the artillery regiment, and there are six in total.

Although Jindongnan has a 75mm shell production line.

But there is no production line for 105mm, 150mm and 203mm howitzer shells.

Moreover, there are only three bases for the reserve of cannon shells with a caliber of 105 mm or more, and each shot needs to be approved by the head of the headquarters.

If you want to obtain a steady stream of shells, you can only hand over the cannons over 105 mm to Li Yunlong's command.

Ding Wei also said: "In addition to the lack of artillery shells, the reserves of bullets, grenades, and explosives are not abundant. It will be some time before our Eighth Route Army fully counterattacks the devils in North China, but it should be soon."

If the Eighth Route Army counterattacks the devils in North China in an all-round way, it will definitely be a large corps battle.

Ding Wei and Kong Jie were deeply touched by the consumption of ammunition in large corps operations.

In the last anti-sweeping operation, the New Second Regiment and the Independent Regiment alone fired more than 600 million rounds of ammunition and 10 rounds of shells.

And this was only half a month's battle. Without the airdrop supplies provided by Boss Chen, the Independent Regiment and the New Second Regiment would not have been able to last half a month under the fierce attack of the four divisions of the Japanese army.

Even so, the New Second Regiment and the Independent Regiment paid a high price for casualties.

Of course, the casualties of the Japanese army were even greater.

If you want to counterattack the North China Front Army, regain North China, and gain a foothold in the Japanese army mobilizing heavy troops to counterattack, you must prepare a huge amount of combat materials.

"In addition to combat supplies." Kong Jie said, "There is another point. Except for the new regiment, our troops are still mainly engaged in guerrilla warfare, and they are not yet adapted to the way of fighting in large corps."

Ding Wei nodded and said: "Old Kong, what you said is on point. It will take a long time to transform from guerrilla warfare to large-scale warfare."

Although the heads of the headquarters have all learned large corps operations, it takes a process for the troops to transform from guerrilla warfare to large corps operations.

In this process, there may be victories and failures.

But the moment when the Eighth Route Army really adapts to large corps operations, it will be the end of the little devils in North China!

"However, the little devil is learning our tactics recently." Kong Jie sneered, "How dare a small group of troops infiltrate our base area to sabotage."

Ding Wei also snorted coldly: "Little devil really doesn't know how to write the word dead!"

Both of them received telegrams from Li Yunlong.

There was no detailed route and time for the devils to infiltrate the base area in the telegram. He knew both of them, and it must be that Boss Chen didn't get any specific information.

Otherwise, when the devils infiltrate the base area, they can just send troops to wipe them out, and Ding Wei doesn't have to go there.

The information given by Boss Chen is that the two advancing teams of the Japanese army are about to disguise themselves as the Eighth Route Army and enter the defense area of ​​the Independent Regiment and the New Second Regiment to carry out assassinations and sabotage, destroying military-civilian relations.

The main targets of these two advance teams are the militia and ordinary people, and by the way, collect information on the base area.

However, both Ding Wei and Kong Jie were very satisfied with the price of killing the devils.

This time the business was the same as the last time they attacked the county seat. The New First Regiment, the Independent Regiment and the New Second Regiment were in partnership. Ding Wei and Kong Jie took the lead, and Li Yunlong took the small lead.

"Old Kong, how are you going to deal with this infiltrating devil?"

Good wine and good food were served on the table. Ding Wei looked at Kong Jie and asked while eating and drinking.

After drinking a glass of wine, and sitting on the kang connected to the kitchen, the chill and the fatigue of the journey were instantly washed away from Ding Wei's body.

Kong Jie ate a deep-fried peanut, raised his head and took a sip of wine, his eyes were fierce: "It's very simple, close the door and beat the dog."

"Closing the door and beating dogs?" Ding Wei asked, "You mean to let the devils in and destroy them? I'm afraid it's not so easy to find these devils dressed up as the Eighth Route Army?"

"Old Ding, you must be in a hurry to get lost, right?"

Kong Jie chuckled, and said again: "Although these devils are wearing our clothes, the weapons in their hands are quite different from ours."

"That's right..." Ding Wei's eyes lit up slightly, "How could I have forgotten this!"

Ding Wei and Kong Jie were very sure that during the last anti-mopping operation, the devils failed to seize a semi-automatic rifle from the New Second Regiment and the Independent Regiment.

During the counterattack, the Xinyi regiment was seized by the devils with more than a dozen semi-automatic rifles.

This is also something that can't be helped. During the counterattack of the Xinyi Regiment, all the Seventh Company of the Xinyi Regiment died.

Fortunately, the artillery of the new regiment fired at the devil's position in time and plowed the devil's position over and over again, otherwise the devil would have seized at least dozens of semi-automatic rifles.

And the devil's advance team has 200 people, and these dozen semi-automatic rifles are definitely not enough for the devil.

Moreover, Kong Jie reckoned that the devils would not be willing to give the dozen or so semi-automatic rifles they had finally seized to the members of the devils.

After all, this semi-automatic rifle is also a very advanced equipment for the devils.

Maybe, the devils have already sent these semi-automatic rifles to the local arsenal for research and imitation.

Kong Jie continued:

"Since we know that the devil's equipment is different from our main force, it's easy to handle."

"The advance team of the devils must not dare to infiltrate from the main road, because the main road has a lot of our clear and hidden whistle."

"Then, the enemy must be infiltrating our base along the path."

"During this period of time, we will place more bright and dark whistles on the trails."

"Once we find traces of the devils, let's keep silent, first let the devils in, and then send troops to quietly block the devils' back path."

"Next, just send troops to encircle and suppress."

"No matter how many groups of devils infiltrate, once they are discovered, there is absolutely no possibility of escaping."

According to intelligence, the devils pretended to be the main force of the Eighth Route Army and infiltrated into the base area.

Instead of pretending to be a militia.

There is a big difference between the militia and the main force of the Eighth Route Army.

Although the main force of the Eighth Route Army was often stationed in villages and lived with the common people, they basically trained alone in a certain field.

The militiamen, on the other hand, are half-civilian and half-soldier, training when they are free, and busy with farm work when they are busy.

Moreover, in terms of equipment and clothing, the militia and the main force are also very different.

Generally speaking, the main force is stronger than the militia, whether it is combat effectiveness or the temperament of the troops.

Of course there are also some powerful militia teams.

Ding Wei nodded fiercely: "Okay, just do it!"

After a pause, Ding Wei said again: "I knew it was so simple, you can just send me a telegram, and I will make a waste of a trip, it's so cold..."

The reason why Ding Wei came here to discuss with Kong Jie.

It is because the devil's plan is extremely vicious.

The reason why the Eighth Route Army can gain a foothold is because of its daring to fight and its inseparable relationship with the common people.

If the devils got their way and caused a big mess in the base area, let alone developing troops, maybe Ding Wei and Kong Jie would be dismissed.

As for Li Yunlong's new regiment, Kazuki Yamamoto wisely did not dare to provoke him.

The strength of the new first regiment, even if the independent regiment and the new second regiment are combined, it is not enough.

"I figured this out on the way you came here." Kong Jie said, "I didn't make you travel so far on purpose."

"However." Ding Wei nodded, "Boss Chen is getting more and more generous. Killing a devil advances the team, 5 tons of weapons and ammunition and 5 tons of food."

Kong Jie said with anticipation in his eyes: "That's right, as long as we kill all the No. 200 devils, it will be 1000 tons of weapons and ammunition and 1000 tons of food..."

……

at the same time.

Dagu Town.

The new regiment.

Li Yunlong has sent two companies to the Independent Regiment and the New Second Regiment respectively to cooperate in business.

Xing Zhiguo looked a bit worried, and said, "This time the devil infiltrated, most likely it was another moth created by that devil Kazuki Yamamoto, can the independent group and the new second group do it?"

In the First Army, only Kazuki Yamamoto likes to engage in special operations.

It's just that the troops trained by Kazuki Yamamoto can't escape the end of destruction every time they encounter a new regiment.

Therefore, this time Kazuki Yamamoto aimed his spearhead at the Independent Regiment and the New Second Regiment.

From Kazuki Yamamoto's point of view, I can't afford to offend Li Yunlong, can I still hide?
Zhao Gang said: "According to the information provided by Boss Chen, Commander Ding and Commander Kong have prepared well in advance, and the New Second Regiment and the Independent Regiment should not suffer."

Li Yunlong nodded and said: "Old Zhao is right. If you can't kill the devils who have infiltrated the base area like this, then how can Ding Wei and Kong Jie get rich? What are you doing as regiment leader? Go home and pick up the children."

After finishing speaking, Li Yunlong stared at the map on the Kang table and narrowed his eyes slightly.

Seeing Li Yunlong's expression, Zhao Gang, Xing Zhiguo and Wang Dehou looked at each other, they all understood that the regiment leader was plotting against the devil again.

It's just that Li Yunlong's gaze was a little erratic, looking here and there on the map.

After a while, Li Yunlong raised his head and saw Zhao Gang and the others staring at him intently.

"Why are you staring at me? Is there something on my face?" Li Yunlong raised his eyebrows and asked.

Zhao Gang, Xing Zhiguo and Wang Dehou all laughed.

Xing Zhiguo asked: "Old Li, you are thinking about making a fortune again, where are you going to make your fortune this time?"

Everyone knows Li Yunlong very well. This kid just can't sit still, and when he's free, he thinks about being a devil.

It was like this when I became the head of the Xinyi regiment, and it was even more like this after Boss Chen's assistance.

Whether sitting, lying down, or falling asleep, they are always thinking about how to do business and make a fortune.

If you want to do business and make a fortune, you must kill devils.

Boss Chen will have no information for a while, so he will look for business opportunities by himself.

Although the main task of Xinyi Regiment is to rest and expand, and build a base area, it is no problem to sneak in a small fortune while busy.

With a confident smile on the corner of Li Yunlong's mouth, he pointed to the map and said, "Now that the devils shrink their defenses, there are not many places where they can make a fortune."

Zhao Gang stared at the map and said, "The only places where we can make a fortune are Datong, Taiyuan, Yangquan and Niangziguan Station."

"That's right!" Li Yunlong nodded, "After the Devil's Tongpu Railway is occupied by us, only the Zhengtai Railway is left. Besides Datong, Taiyuan, Yangquan and Niangziguan are all on the Zhengtai Railway."

"We can take advantage of Taiyuan and Yangquan, but the time has not yet come. Let's reap the fortunes of Datong and Niangziguan first."

"The problem is." Xing Zhiguo said, "Datong was just occupied by the 26th Division of the Japanese Army Garrisoned in Mongolia. It was an infantry division. If we want to take it down, I'm afraid we have to join the whole regiment, right?"

"Not necessarily!" Li Yunlong said, "The 26st Brigade of the Mongolian Cavalry is still in Taiyuan, and they sent the 26th Division to attack Datong. How many troops does the Mongolian Army have? The army stole their hometown, so I estimate that the Devil’s [-]th Division will definitely not stay in Datong, and will leave some of its troops, and the rest will return to Baotou.”

Li Yunlong's idea is to attack Datong again and earn a wave of 150mm howitzers and 37mm anti-aircraft guns.

If you don't make money, you don't make money, why not do it?
As for the First Division, there has been no movement yet, and Li Yunlong estimates that it will take some time to arrive in Northwest Shanxi.

"I have sent the Sword Squadron to Datong for reconnaissance."

Li Yunlong continued:
"In addition, I will also send the Sword Squadron to carry out reconnaissance in the direction of Niangziguan. There will be news soon. In a word, we can't let the devils live comfortably!"

Xing Zhiguo said with a smile: "The devil's life is uncomfortable, but our life is comfortable."

Li Yunlong: "That's the truth!"
