Anti-Japanese Jedi Player

Chapter 245 Devil's Anxiety

Taiyuan, Shanxi, the headquarters of the Japanese Army.

A lieutenant general made a report to the map hanging on the wall with a command whip.

"Nanyuan County, Southeast Shanxi, Ono Brigade"

"Dukou County, Northwest Shanxi, Tianchangyi Brigade"

"Nandaluo County, Shanxi, Bozhi Brigade"

"..."

"From late June to mid-August, a total of nine counties and cities around Shanxi, Jilu, and nine brigades were ambushed, and all brigades suffered heavy losses. The cumulative casualties exceeded 5000 people, and seventeen strongholds were lost at the same time."

"The road from Beiping to Shanxi was completely controlled by the Eighth Route Army"

"The situation in our occupied areas is not optimistic"

The lieutenant general put down the command whip in his hand with a serious tone.

Then he took out dozens of photos. The photo on the first floor was a row of mules and horses, and the mules were piled up with ammunition boxes. This was a sneak shot of the Eighth Route Army transport team.The second bag of photos is a picture of a battlefield, the most eye-catching is a mortar crater.

"Just a few guerrilla teams, shoot a few divisions and sweep a few laps."

"Hmph, there are some idiot divisions stationed in the rear, and even a few Eighth Route Army guerrillas can't handle it."

"It's a disgrace to the empire. The Eighth Route Army didn't even have a few guns, yet they were defeated by them."

"..."

Before they had time to put the photos up, many division heads below began to speak nonsense, with contempt evident in their tone.

"Well, according to the intelligence, the Eighth Route Army seems to have obtained a large amount of weapons and equipment. In terms of light weapon firepower, it even has an advantage over the Imperial Army. According to the information sent by the special high-tech spies, the 119th Division has obtained 1000 rounds of grenades."

The lieutenant general revealed a little information, which immediately sparked a discussion.

"How is it possible? How can the industry of the Republic of China be stronger than the firepower of the Imperial Army?"

"Could it be imported from a foreign country? Didn't the navy say that it has completely blocked it? What the hell are those trash doing?"

"1000 two million rounds, it's impossible"

The news and the huge number made many devils and generals not believe it.

Light weapons surpassed the imperial army, even those German weapon masters couldn't do it.

1000 to [-] million rounds of grenades, even the empire would take a long time to produce them. It is absolutely impossible for the Republic of China to produce them by itself, and the import channels have been cut off by the empire, so it is impossible.

There is no evidence to speak... The lieutenant general did not continue, after scanning around, he handed over the first bag of photos.

The mules and horses in the photo are consigning boxes of grenades. The boxes on the mules and horses are piled high. A mule has at least transported more than 100 hand grenades. On the road behind the photo, there is an endless line of mules Horse brigade.

The photo did not include all the mules and horses, but judging from the second large-angle photo, there are at least 3000 mules, and each mule is carrying a full ammunition box.The ammunition box is marked in German - M24 grenade.

You can even see a lot of mule-drawn carts, and there are boxes of ammunition on the carts.

"Where did this... come from?"

The long ammunition transport team made everyone stand in silence for a few minutes. They couldn't help but began to count how many boxes of ammunition were in the photo, and then a major general asked.

"According to the news from TEC, the origin of these convoys is Wanping County, and the specific source has not been investigated yet"

The lieutenant general returned to Dao.

"Wanping County?!"

This place name evokes the memories of many ghost generals. In the first half of the battle, a brigade was dispatched here to destroy the Eighth Route Army in Wanping County, but they returned without success after losing nearly a thousand people, and time moved forward. By extension, there have also been several strange and puzzling battles here.

The most famous of these is the overnight destruction of the Ono Brigade...

"According to intelligence, there is an Eighth Route Army unit called the Independent First Regiment. All supplies are transported from this regiment, but the specific information is unknown."

The lieutenant general continued to talk about intelligence.

At the same time, he couldn't figure it out. Almost all the special high-level agents around Wanping City were pulled out, especially those who broke into the guerrillas. None of them were left. Even if they were newly sent out, once they entered the guerrillas At most, he would be killed silently after only half a month at most, which he and the super high class couldn't understand.

One or two is fine, how did the enemy find almost all the agents?
It is precisely because of this that he has not been able to obtain information about this weird independent group. He can only vaguely know that these materials are provided by an overseas Chinese, but he has no way of knowing the specific transportation route of the materials.

Although there are waterways around Wanping City, according to the investigations of the navy and the army, no transport ships have passed by recently.

The only information was obtained from the 119th Division and other units.

Before the topic could continue, the lieutenant general handed over the second bag of photos.

"This is a photo of several recent Eighth Route Army battles"

The photos showed the situation on several recent battlefields, and some of them were even taken during the battle. Everyone took the photos and looked at them with amazed expressions.

"Good dense light artillery firepower"

During the war, those who could get into the upper echelons of the front line were not idiots. This group of old devils with rich combat experience could see the core of the photo at a glance, and it was so dense that it far surpassed the mortar firepower of the imperial army.

The ground in the photo is densely covered with craters. This kind of crater is different from the craters caused by grenades and grenades. It has a certain depth, and the explosion wave is circular. This kind of crater that is not deep or shallow can only fall vertically. It was caused by a mortar grenade, and judging by the size, it should be a 60mm mortar.

It's just that there are too many, too many craters...
"Where did they get so many shells?"

A major general froze for a moment, then frowned.

The scope of the Eighth Route Army's activities is in the mountainous areas, and it rarely operates in the Great Plains. The light-caliber mortars are highly mobile, powerful, and have a far more accurate range than projectiles. The demand for logistics is very low, and they are extremely suitable for combat in mountainous areas. However, if the Eighth Route Army is equipped with such mortars on a large scale and has sufficient ammunition, it can be said to be a disaster for the Imperial Army.

"According to the information sent back by the intelligence personnel of the special high technology, the source of the shells are all from the Independent First Regiment of Wanping County"

"According to the clear information, the Eighth Route Army will receive nearly a million rounds of artillery shells in the near future. This is the intelligence sent by a high-level latent personnel at the cost of their lives."

The lieutenant general talked about the information he had received recently. In order to send out this information, Tegao lost a high-level spy.

"100 million shots..."

Another burst of surprise.

One million rounds is not much for an industrialized country. With Japan's production capacity, there are several million rounds of 100-caliber grenades per year, but that is an empire with a good industrial foundation. Now most of the Republic of China is occupied by the empire, and the only remaining It is impossible for an industrial zone to have this output.

Not to mention where these shells came from, if the Eighth Route Army had this ammunition reserve, then the rear transportation line would be in jeopardy.

As long as dozens of mortars are set up to bombard the transport team for a while, the transport team will definitely suffer huge losses, and the longer range of the mortar can ensure the safety of the guerrillas.

"The battle on the front line is not over yet, and there is currently no way to mobilize enough troops to carry out the campaign. Therefore, in the near future, various troops have strengthened the protection of the transport convoy. After September, the battle on the front line will stop and formulate a combat plan."

"Recently, various units have stepped up intelligence work. We need to find out where the ammunition of the Eighth Route Army came from."

"I will send reconnaissance planes to conduct intensive investigations"

Finally the lieutenant general made a decision.
