The Rise of the Great Powers in the War of Resistance

When Zhang Yunfei quietly "touched" into the fifth warehouse, he finally found something different. He smelled a strong smell of engine oil when he first entered. After entering, he found that there were some big wooden boxes inside, with different lengths and heights. The big wooden boxes are three to four meters long and two meters high, while the small ones are only one meter long and less than one meter high.

Zhang Yunfei gently pulled out his dagger, gently pried open a small wooden box, followed by the moonlight, saw a half-new machine tool inside, and pried open several boxes in succession, which also contained mechanical equipment .

Zhang Yunfei prettyly "touched" several other warehouses, and they were also full of machinery and equipment.Seeing this, I remembered the Taiyuan Defense War that broke out in November last year. The Taiyuan Defense War ended in the defeat of the Communist Party of China. Some of the equipment in the Taiyuan Arsenal was shipped out, but most of it fell into the hands of the Japanese army. According to later history According to my understanding, most of the equipment in the Taiyuan Arsenal was transported back to the Japanese mainland and Shenyang by the Japanese army.

If the machinery and equipment of the Taiyuan Armory Factory are real, he is really rich. According to Zhang Yunfei's understanding, the Taiyuan Armory Factory is an arsenal established by Yan Xishan in Shanxi to manufacture guns and ammunition. Three major arsenals.Yan Xishan's ability to rule Shanxi for 38 years is directly related to the fact that the Taiyuan Arsenal manufactured weapons and ammunition for him, and then recruited troops and expanded his power.

From 1928 to 1930, the monthly output of the Taiyuan Arsenal was: 35 light and heavy guns, 100 mortars, 3000 rifles, 15 machine guns, 900 submachine guns, and 1 shell.

Although this is only part of the equipment of the Taiyuan Arsenal, it is enough to make my heart skip a beat. During the eight years of the Anti-Japanese War, the Eight Routes fought so hard that it was even dubbed by the Communist Party as "swimming but not fighting."This is directly related to the poor equipment of the Eighth Route Army. At that time, the National Famous Party did not supplement the Eighth Route Army with every single shot. Fantastic.

With these machines and equipment, if we can produce guns ourselves, will the War of Resistance, and the entire history of the War of Resistance be changed? , Thinking of this, Zhang Yunfei only felt his blood boil, and it took a while to gradually calm down his excitement, and quietly withdrew from the Japanese army's large warehouse.

After joining up with the supporting pillars outside, Zhang Yunfei returned to the 718 regiment's station overnight.

The headquarters of the 718th Regiment was brightly lit. All the battalion and company commanders were summoned overnight by Zhang Yunfei for an emergency combat meeting. The machinery and equipment in the kid’s warehouse did not wait for anyone. If the kid transported them away tomorrow morning, it would be too late to cry.

In the large war room of the regiment headquarters, in the center is a huge sand table several meters in length and width. In the center of the sand table is a three-dimensional topographic map of hundreds of miles nearby that has been scaled down countless times. The entire terrain is lifelike. Every mountain, village, There are towns, rivers and roads. It took more than a month for Zhang Yunfei to guide the soldiers to complete it.

Looking at the battalion and company commanders all around with serious expressions, Zhang Yunfei pointed to the topographic map and said: "Comrades, today I went to the county town and went to the warehouse of the little devil. What was found in the warehouse?"

The battalion and company commanders heard that the regiment leader said that they went to the little devil’s warehouse for a stroll, and seeing Zhang Yunfei’s relaxed expression, they talked one after another. Some said that there were oceans in the little devil’s warehouse, some said there were machine guns, and some said There was food, and for a moment the whole war room was full of discussions.

Seeing that everyone was discussing, Zhang Yunfei raised his hands and made a slight downward gesture. Everyone stopped discussing immediately, and the whole war room was immediately silent.

Zhang Yunfei nodded in satisfaction and said, "Everyone guessed right. There are food, ammunition and quilts in the little devil's warehouse, and there are also some machinery and equipment from the former Taiyuan Arsenal. What do you think we should do?"

"Steal his mother!" Qian Long, the commander of the third battalion, said loudly.

"Yes, steal his mother." The battalion and company commanders echoed loudly.

"Okay, then grab his mother." Zhang Yunfei said with a full face.

After waiting for a while, moistening his throat, Zhang Yunfei said seriously, "Now assign combat missions."

Hearing that the head of the regiment assigned a combat mission, the battalion and company commanders immediately stood up and stood up solemnly.

"Order, all battalions and companies must gather immediately, bring enough ammunition and dry food, and set out immediately to attack Xin'an County. The guard company stays at the regiment headquarters to guard, and the special forces set off first to sneak into Xin'an County and attack the headquarters of the little devil. Two troops from each unit Gather at the regiment headquarters in an hour," Zhang Yunfei said.

When the political commissar saw that Zhang Yunfei had issued a combat order, he worriedly said to Zhang Yunfei: "Regimental Commander, should we ask the brigade headquarters for such a large military operation? If the higher-ups blame us, we won't be able to explain it."

Hearing what the political commissar said, Zhang Yunfei pondered for a while and said: "Then let's report to the brigade department, but regardless of whether the brigade department agrees or not, I will go to the county seat, and I will take care of it if there is a problem."

Hearing what the head of the regiment said, Fang Zheng, the political commissar, shook his head helplessly, walked to the confidential room, and sent a report to the brigade headquarters to report the situation.

After the meeting was over, the battalion and company commanders galloped back to their respective stations to assemble their teams. [

The current 718 recruits of the 1500th Regiment have been incorporated into each battalion, and the new veterans of the 718th Regiment add up to 3000 people. There are four infantry battalions, one artillery battalion, and a guard company directly under the regiment and a special operations team.

Each infantry battalion has 3 infantry companies and a heavy firepower company. The battalion is directly under the guard platoon, communication squad, and slap gun squad. Each infantry company has more than 160 people, and 3 platoons have 9 infantry squads. Each has a crooked machine gun; the heavy firepower company is equipped with 6 Type 6 heavy machine guns and 3 crooked machine guns; the slap gun squad is equipped with 60 [-]mm slap guns.

The infantry battalion has more than 700 people in the whole battalion. The number is obviously a reinforced battalion, and the weapons and equipment can also be compared with an infantry brigade of the little devil.

The Artillery Battalion is currently equipped with 12 500-type infantry artillery. Although there are fewer artillery pieces at the moment, there are sufficient shells and personnel. The battalion has more than 100 people and more than [-] horses. These horses are mainly used to transport artillery shells and drag infantry artillery.

At present, the new veterans of the whole regiment have been fully dispersed. There are several veterans and recruits in each squad, and there is a situation of new and old taking over.Zhang Yunfei wanted to fight this battle to let these recruits see their blood and grow up quickly.

Two hours later, the whole group assembled and started to set off. The team lined up in a long line in the night and headed towards Xin'an County.

At dawn, the whole regiment was less than 1 kilometer away from the county seat, and Xin'an County in the distance was still quiet in the early morning. Zhang Yunfei ordered the artillery to choose the terrain and build a position, while the infantry dispersed into a battle formation.

In Xin'an County, at the Japanese Army Headquarters, Taro Ozawa fought with two Japanese military comfort women last night. He didn't fall asleep until the middle of the night. Taro Ozawa, who was soundly asleep, woke up with a start.

Pushing away the two comfort "women" next to him, Ozawa got off the bed with his clothes on, and said angrily, "Baga, who is it!"

The chief of staff's terrified voice sounded outside: "Your Excellency, Captain, according to the report from the forward observation post, a large number of Eighth Route Army troops have appeared in the east of Xin'an County, with an estimated number of 3000 to [-]."

Hearing the chief of staff's report, Ozawa Taro broke out in a cold sweat, and quickly opened the door to let the chief of staff in.

There is no natural military barrier in Xin'an County, and the entire county does not even have a city wall, so it is difficult to defend. Fortunately, when I was stationed in Xin'an County, in order to prevent the eight-way attack from the Taihang Mountains in the east, I built defensive positions on the southeast, northwest, and four sides of Xin'an County. To block the attack from the Eight Routes, as long as you hold on for two days, reinforcements from Datong will arrive.

Thinking of this, Ozawa Tarotaro felt a little relieved, and just to be on the safe side, he said to the chief of staff: "Order, the 1,2st, 3nd, and 4rd Infantry Squadrons enter the east defensive position, and the [-]th Infantry Squadron is responsible for defending the south, west, and north sides. , to prevent the Eighth Route Army from attacking. At the same time, send a report to your Excellency, the division commander, requesting reinforcements."

"Hey, I'll deliver the order." The chief of staff stood at attention and lowered his head.

"Hurry up." Taro Ozawa waved his hand eagerly.

At the brigade headquarters of the 359th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army, Brigadier Chen was furious. He had just received a telegram from the political commissar of the 719th Regiment. Zhang Yunfei led the 719th Regiment with more than 2000 people an hour ago. The stationed Xin'an County has gone.

After losing his temper, Brigadier Chen, who had calmed down, was fascinated by the location of Xin'an County on the map. This location is only a few hundred miles away from Datong. The Japanese army in Xin'an County will definitely ask for help from Datong. The Japanese cavalry regiment and motorized troops can rush to Xin'an County within a day, and the follow-up large troops will also arrive in Xin'an County within two days.

It's really a headache to think about it, this Zhang Yunfei is too disorganized and disciplined, let's see how I deal with you after the battle, Brigadier Chen thought fiercely.

It seems that we can only report the situation to the headquarters to see which unit is closest to Datong and whether it can prevent the enemy from reinforcing.

Soon the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army in Northwest Shanxi received a telegram from the 359th Brigade. The deputy commander-in-chief was also very annoyed when he saw the content of the telegram, but as the deputy commander-in-chief, he couldn't get angry easily. [

Seeing the pent-up anger of the deputy commander-in-chief, the deputy chief of staff said earnestly: "Boss, although this Zhang Yunfei is not good at organization and discipline, he is a good general. Two months ago, with a battalion The troops wiped out more than 500 little devils."

"No matter how much you can fight, you must obey the organization. You can't open your head. After this battle is over, I will get rid of Zhang Yunfei's temper," the deputy commander said.

"Boss, no matter what, we still have to save this Zhang Yunfei. After all, this is a regiment with more than 2000 troops. It would be a pity if the little devils eat it up." The deputy chief of staff said regretfully.

"Hmph, the little devil wants to eat one of my main regiments. I think he lacks good teeth. In this way, order the 386th Brigade Independent Regiment closest to Datong to block the enemy's reinforcements, and let Zhang Yunfei, a dumb boy, finish the job." Deputy Commander-in-Chief road.
