Bright Sword: Infinite Logistics

"Send a report to the Daxing office."

Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty Yang Jian was granted the title of "Daxing Gong" during the Northern Zhou Dynasty, so he made Daxing City the capital after the establishment of the Sui Dynasty. After the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, Daxing was renamed Chang'an and remained the capital.

"...The die-hards restricted me and it was extremely difficult to obtain material supplies. Since I left Wei Junru's direct command, I have been asking for ammunition from Jiang Gong, Cheng Songyun, Yan Longchi, and Wei Junru in various ways over the past year. In the end, I only received 200 bullets. With the exception of the 129th Division, which received a large amount of funding, the ammunition shortage for the rest of the troops has become extremely serious.”

"In September, Tianshui Xingying wholesaled 500,000 rounds of 79 machine ammunition, 100,000 rounds of 65-step ammunition, 50,000 rounds of 762-step ammunition, 5,000 rounds of hand grenades, and 500 rounds of 82-type mortar shells. However, So far, I haven’t been able to get it out. I hope I can try my best to get it out. If I don’t get it out as soon as possible, there will be no chance in the future..."

A telegram was sent from the front line to the Eighth Route Army's office in Daxing. After reading the telegram, Lin Suiyuan sighed: "I'm afraid it will be difficult to do the work in the future."

Meng Zhige has indeed provided enough supplies now. Counting the cotton-padded clothes and the batch of arms from the Northeast during this period, the supplies he has provided alone have reached half of the official support from the government in the past two years, and even slightly exceeded it.

But for a big company like the Eighth Route Army, it was still far from enough, and not a single bit could be wasted. Therefore, after the headquarters learned the news, it immediately notified the office to get out the ammunition approved by Tianshui Xingying first. If they don't get it out, they will have no chance until they turn around.

This matter is quite interesting. On the 20th, after the national government meeting, the policy shifted from political restrictions to military restrictions, and no more guns and bullets were provided to the Eighth Route Army. The limited and short-lived positive effect on guerrilla warfare behind enemy lines ended. Just the day before, November 11, the Eighth Route Army Office in Daxing proposed 19 rounds of 50-10 bullets, 5000 rounds of - bullets, and grenades, and the rest of the supplies were confiscated.

This extreme operation brought back 12 rounds of ammunition. It was not until December 4 that Mr. Jiang received the message from Cheng Songyun - "According to the previous telegram, on the th day of this month, I have approved the issuance of rounds of -step machine ammunition, pellets of -step ammunition, and hand grenades. "When I heard about this, I informed the Ministry of Military and Political Affairs that my face turned pale with anger.

But for the headquarters, this matter is just a matter of convenience. Even if this batch of ammunition cannot be obtained, the problem is not too big. Consultant Meng's assistance can be used to fill this gap. Their energy is now focused on another thing happening next to them.

"It's weird. What's wrong with the Japs in Xi County, Wucheng and Fenyang? Why did they retreat inexplicably and hand over their territory to Yan Laoxi?" The boss looked at the map with confusion on his face: " Is there any information about Yan Laoxi recently? There is definitely something wrong with this!"

Needless to say, there is no need to say much about the intelligence capabilities of the Eighth Route Army. It is somewhat difficult to obtain intelligence on the Japanese, but it is easy to obtain intelligence on the existential warlords. After all, the intelligence department of the Jinsui Army is a sieve. If they get the information, it basically means that all the major forces in Jin Dynasty know it.

"There is one thing. As I reported before, you said that you should continue to pay attention." A staff officer stood up: "On the 1st, Yan Xishan sent someone to Linfen to contact the Japanese. We haven't got the specific content yet. I don’t know, but now I am sure that they have definitely negotiated something.”

This is the "Linfen Conference" in history. Yan Fang proposed to reorganize the Shanxi-Sui Army and implement anti-communism; the Japanese army must cede Xi County, Wucheng and other strongholds and the Fenyang area to the Shanxi-Sui Army, help the Shanxi-Sui Army eliminate the Eighth Route Army in Jin, and provide mechanical ammunition. The Japanese army basically accepted these demands.

"Check the recent troop movements of the Jinsui Army near the base area. I'm afraid Yan Laoxi has taken a fancy to us, so we must take precautions early."

The staff officer took a deep breath: "I have already checked. In addition to the transfers in the Fenyang area, according to the intelligence provided by the 386th Brigade on the local armed forces in Qin County yesterday, the 358th Regiment Chu Yunfei's Department received another batch of troops from Shanxi With the addition of Xi, the number has reached 4,000."

"Four thousand people? My dear, one regiment of his Jinsui Army only has a thousand men. What's going on with this 358th regiment? The number of people in one regiment is equal to that of a brigade?" The boss's eyes widened: "Why did you do that before? The 386th Brigade did not specify this regiment? "Because the commander of this regiment, Chu Yunfei, did not show any hostility towards us. Most of the troops added to him by Jinxi also did so. It can be said that the entire Jin army. The people who are friendly to us are all concentrated in the 358th Regiment, and they don't pose much of a threat." The staff officer paused and said, "Moreover, the Second Battalion of the New Regiment is still stationed in Wuxiang, and the distance between the two sides is only 40 to 50 miles. . Even if the 358th Regiment makes any move, the 386th Brigade is confident of pushing it back."

"Then let the 386th Brigade take good care of this regiment." The boss rubbed his eyebrows: "In addition, inform the New Army and let them be on guard. Yan Laoxi has been staring at the New Army for too long, and he wanted to cancel the political commissar at the beginning of the year. Any action taken this time will most likely be directed at the new army..."

……

Qin County, the headquarters of the 358th Regiment.

Inside the headquarters, Chu Yunfei looked at the map on the wall and frowned. Adjutant Sun Ming stood aside, holding a notebook in one hand and a pen in the other. During this period, the 358th Regiment was fighting everywhere, and Sun Ming learned a lot from Chu Yunfei.

"Commander, you have been depressed these past few days. What is troubling you?" Fang Ligong walked into the headquarters and put the roster in his hand on the table.

Chu Yunfei turned around and looked at his Chief of Staff Fang up and down: "Brother Ligong is here to relieve me of my troubles?"

"I wonder what Tuan-zu's troubles are?"

"Of course they are the 4,000 members of the 358th Regiment." Chu Yunfei took off his white gloves: "Brother Ligong, you are a member of the 33rd Iron Blood Regiment. Your relationship with Commander Yan and Commander Wang should be more I want to get closer to someone."

"So, can you tell me the truth? Why did Shangfeng crowd in my place with 4,000 people? And these people are all pro-communists. What Chief Yan did makes me a little uneasy."

Chu Yunfei's eyes were fixed on Fang Ligong. He still understands Chief Yan: he wants a monolithic Jin land that only listens to his orders, so he is on guard against Jiang Gong and the Eighth Route Army. Among them, the Eighth Route Army was a class enemy. If the Japanese were not there, there would be no basis for cooperation.

And once he is considered to be close to the "enemy" and no longer loyal to him... then Chief Yan's methods are not very good. He was somewhat familiar with the number of pro-Communist and pro-Chiang people who had died over the years. Even if you are the "Thirteen Taibao", if you say assassination, it is just assassination.

He, Chu Yunfei, would die if he died, but the four thousand men of the 358th Regiment, although they all had pro-communist tendencies, were actual anti-Japanese activists and the backbone of the battlefield. If these four thousand people were purged because of his hesitation...

"Commander, this... please rest assured, Commander Yan's target is not the 358th regiment." Fang Ligong was stunned for a few seconds, and then gave an answer.

"It's not the 358th regiment this time." Chu Yunfei shook his head and looked at the map. His eyes skipped the recently changed Fenyang area and stayed at several locations where the new army was stationed. (End of chapter)
