Rise from the sword

Chapter 319 New Cannons and New Business Clues

In the open mountains and fields, densely packed wooden ammunition boxes are neatly stacked, looking like hills. Under the sun, the painted exterior reflects a dim light.

"My God..."

Ding Wei looked at the weapons and ammunition in the distance with dull eyes.

The scene of stacking one hundred tons of weapons and ammunition brought Ding Wei such a huge impact that he immediately lost his mind and lost his usual indifference.

After more than ten years of fighting, it was the first time he saw such a large number of weapons and ammunition.

Even at the swearing-in meeting where the whole army swore to set off to fight against Japan, there was no such grand pomp.

On the side, Kong Jie looked calmly. He had seen this scene once before, and that time there were even a little more. Li Yunlong used live ammunition training to make a lot of money, and finally the total number of weapons and ammunition exceeded 120 tons.

But seeing this scene at this moment, he felt a little bit sour.

That time, I have no good memories.

Commander Kong Da recalled the hand that suddenly stretched out and the phrase "do you want to help me?", which caused him to lose nearly ten tons of ammunition.

After Chen Fan's consent, Li Yunlong brought Kong Jie and Ding Wei along.

"Hey hey..."

Seeing the expressions of the two, Li Yunlong smiled, his tone full of complacency:
"According to the number of your heads, Ding Wei is [-] tons, and Kong Jie is [-] tons. The types of weapons are determined by you. You can take them back with you when the time comes."

"So fast?"

Ding Wei narrowed his eyes.

He and Kong Jie only gave out the types and list of weapons and ammunition they wanted yesterday, and today the other party sent them back to the door, and it was still in this deep mountain area, and all [-] tons of weapons were delivered to the place. This...

"How did he transport it?"

Ding Wei couldn't help it, and asked subconsciously.

air transport?There is no airport here, and it is impossible for a plane to land, and he is also someone who has seen a plane. Such a huge number cannot be transported by a plane.car?There are no roads here either.

"I don't know, and labor and management are not interested in knowing."

Li Yunlong waved his hand, but Brother Chen didn't say anything, and he didn't bother to ask.

"Should be some kind of technology."

Ding Wei fell into silence, paused, and said to himself: "It seems that we are just a group of frogs in a well after all. This is the world, and it is far more complicated than we imagined."

With a sigh, Ding Wei also followed with a smile on his face.

Indeed, as Li Yunlong said, it is meaningless for them to discuss these bitterness at present, first drive out the little devils first, and it will not be too late to study this after the foundation is established.

Moreover, this time he not only has nearly [-] tons of weapons and ammunition, but also two [-]-type infantry guns and two thousand rounds of shells. After this time, the strength of the new regiment will be completely improved.

This is the most important.

"Brother Yunlong, this is the most important part of our business..."

After everyone met and introduced their weapons and ammunition, Chen Fan finally came to a pile of obviously different weapon boxes, patted the huge wooden box, and said every word in a mysterious tone:

"120 caliber heavy mortar."

"Two doors."

"Plus three thousand shells."

Although this thing is only a regiment-level artillery in Europe, America and the Soviet Union, in North China, even with the Devils North China Front Army, it is considered a heavy artillery. It is a proper heavy artillery in terms of power and range.

After all, this is a mountain battlefield where 75 mountain cannons are called heavy weapons. The devils with brigades and regiments as their active units, the main artillery force is also 75 mountain cannons or field cannons. The 105 caliber is a division-level weapon and is rarely dispatched.

"Hahaha····"

Hearing this, Li Yunlong's eyeballs lit up, his mouth opened automatically, and his white teeth stretched out: "Thank you, Brother Chen."

With this thing, the strength of the independent group can be said to have taken a big step forward.

If there was such a cannon in the bombardment of Taiyuan, none of the planes in the little devil's airport would have survived, and even the casualties would have been much higher. Two heavy cannons would have a decisive impact on the battle situation.

On the side, Ding Wei and Kong Jie who came together suddenly opened their eyes and mouth wide, and their expressions were also stiff.

The two had guessed before that Li Yunlong would definitely not tell them all the price, but the two 120-caliber heavy mortars still far exceeded their expectations.

Boss Chen's weapons have always been excellent.

The previous 82 mortars are much more powerful than the self-produced ones. The explosive power alone is already comparable to the Guizishan Cannon, but the range and damage to bunkers are insufficient. So how powerful is the 120 caliber mortar?
The two of Ding and Kong were eager to see through. The good mood of getting the two [-]-styles before was gone, and there was only a deep sadness in their hearts.

With almost the same weight, this gun is obviously much better than the Type [-] infantry gun. No matter in terms of power or range, it is completely incomparable.

want to.

"The gun weighs 270 kilograms in combat state and can be disassembled into three parts, the heaviest of which is no more than [-] kilograms."

Chen Fan continued to introduce the data of this mortar.

The three regiment leaders listened eagerly, which gave him a sense of accomplishment.

One hundred kilograms, this weight can be easily carried away by a big mule, and four people can easily load and unload it, which is more suitable for mountain warfare.Li Yunlong's face was full of satisfaction, while Ding Kong's eyes were even more sour.

"The maximum shooting range is six kilometers, the shell weighs [-] kilograms, and the charge is three kilograms of RDX."

Chen Fan continued to introduce.

Compared with the prototype of this mortar, the system has obviously upgraded this mortar. There is not much difference in weight, but the sighting equipment has been improved and the range has been slightly improved.

"Six kilometers?"

"Sixteen point six kilogram shells?"

"Three kilograms."

The eyeballs of Chang Yansheng, the commander of the artillery company that came with him, also lit up.

The 120 mortar shells are only five kilograms, and this 105 mortar shells are more than [-] kilograms. Even if the mortar has a low muzzle velocity and relies on the explosive power, but with three kilograms of charge, this power is more powerful than The devil's [-] heavy artillery is even more powerful, and the civil bunkers with standard structures can be killed with one shot.

"Good shot."

Ding Kong immediately said hello sourly.

They can naturally understand these data, and can deeply appreciate the power and function of these two cannons.

The two looked at Li Yunlong and rolled their eyes secretly.

This bastard Li Yunlong definitely did it on purpose. He deliberately invited the two of them over to show off in front of them.

Just when the two regiment leaders were feeling sour, Chen Fan walked up to Li Yunlong and whispered:

"Brother Yunlong, I have some information for the next business. You can prepare first. The devils you will deal with next time are a bit special. The troops participating in the battle may need a long period of training."

"And, this time you can get more benefits from the devil."

"Oh?"

Li Yunlong suddenly became interested: "Let's listen to it."

······
Taiyuan.

Even though a day had passed, Shinozuka Yoshio still had a gloomy face and heavy breathing.

Obviously, I was very angry with the phone call yesterday by Lieutenant Admiral Tanimoto, and I haven't recovered yet.

If it was someone else, even if it was an old opponent of the Second Army, Shinozuka Yoshio would not be so angry, but the opponent is a navy and a deadly enemy, and he can't bear this aggrieved feeling.

Must find the place.

Yamamoto looked at his general's face and quietly nodded.

"Could you find out how the Navy got the news that Shou County was captured?"

Yoshio Shinozuka was very concerned about this.

The navy even reached out to the army's territory, which is absolutely not allowed.

"I haven't found out yet."

Yamamoto shook his head, with a hint of helplessness in his tone: "It is speculated that it should be an intelligence agent lurking in the navy, maybe from Yangquan or other places. At that time, Ito Kotaro sent telegrams for help everywhere."

It is normal for a country's navy and army to have their own intelligence agencies, but instead of sharing intelligence, they also spied on each other's intelligence, which made a pure soldier like Yamamoto really helpless.

"Find out a way."

A sharp light flashed in Shinozuka Yoshio's eyes.

For the time being, he has nothing to do with Tanimoto. The other party is hiding in the fleet. The navy and army have almost no intersection, and there has been no cooperative battle in the near future. Moreover, the two sides are very defensive against each other, and he can't do anything to trouble the other party.

Then I can only pull out a few navy intelligence personnel to relieve my anger.

At that time, I must personally call Gu Ben.

"Hi."

Yamamoto bowed his head.

"By the way, let's investigate Li Yunlong's current strength, and evaluate to what extent his strength will increase after obtaining Shou County."

Shinozuka Yoshio rubbed his forehead and continued to order.

"Hi."

Yamamoto bowed his head.

After thinking about it, he seemed to hesitate for a moment, but Yamamoto still said:

"General, I have investigated one thing. The Navy is transporting a batch of gold back to China through the waters of the Yangtze River. I don't know the exact amount, but it should exceed two tons."

"Two tons of gold?"

Yoshio Shinozuka's eyes flashed dangerously in an instant.

If the two tons of imperial troops can be obtained, then the robbery of Taiyuan gold last year can be completely over, and there is no need to be screwed out and attacked by others every time a meeting is held.

But after hesitating for a while, the light still weakened.

He wanted to do it, and even wanted to send someone to intercept it directly, but he couldn't do anything to intercept a transport ship on the Yangtze River, unless he dispatched planes, but the navy also has planes.

Although the army and the navy didn't deal with it, and both sides wanted to beat the other's dog's brains out, neither of them was willing to fire the first shot.

After Kazuki Yamamoto left, Yoshio Shinozuka frowned.

He had contacted General Gangcun before, informed that Shou County was defeated by the Eighth Route Army, and explained the reason for abandoning Shou County. The other party was very tolerant and had no intention of blaming him at this time, and then he asked about the latest supplies by the way. , but General Gangcun doesn’t seem to know about it, he only knows that domestic material production has been seriously lagging recently, and the materials allocated to the army have collectively been delayed or even cancelled.

As a result, new large-scale sweeps against the Eighth Route Army could not be launched, and only some small-scale sweeps could be carried out, with very limited effects.

what happened?

Shinozuka Yoshio looked down at his watch, then at the calendar,

The current date is mid-July, [-].

······
Shou County.

From the brigade headquarters to Xujia Village, the new regiment headquarters of the Independent Regiment, you need to pass through the edge of Shou County, and the closest one is only seven miles away from Shou County.

"Come on, let's go to Shou County."

Looking in the direction of Shou County, the brigade commander said with a smile.

"This···"

The accompanying guards were a little worried.

It is really dangerous to be close to a devil's county town. If you encounter devils who are out on patrol, it will be troublesome. There are not many guards in their lineup, and it will be very difficult for a small group of devils to deal with.

Smiling, the brigade commander continued:

"Don't worry, I heard that Li Yunlong has suppressed the ghosts in Shou County, and he will not even send the devils out on patrol. There will be no danger."

The crowd then ran towards Shou County along the mountain road.

However, when they were about one kilometer away from Shou County, the group met an unexpected person.

A patrol of the Eighth Route Army.

"It's from the independent group."

The accompanying guards recognized the officer leading the team opposite.

"People from the independent group?"

The brigade commander and Staff Officer Luo were taken aback for a moment, and then they looked at the group of soldiers in the distance.

With a gun on their backs, they walked in a neat formation, striding forward along the mountain road, without any vigilance in the enemy's territory, as if they were patrolling the base security area.

"The ghosts in Shou County, what kind of beating did they get?"

Everyone was very surprised.

It is less than one kilometer away from Shou County. Did Li Yunlong actually send troops to patrol under the eyes of the devils?

Although they knew that the situation in Shou County was very good, but how good it was, no one had visited it on the spot.

"Go, go and get in touch with them."

The Brigadier waved.

"We are performing patrol missions outside the base."

Hearing the answers of this group of people, everyone was even more surprised.

"Base?"

Staff Officer Luo was taken aback for a moment, sensing something was wrong.

"Correct."

The platoon leader who led the team had white teeth and smiled very happily: "Our regiment cooperated with the Xinyi regiment and brought down Shou County. Now Shou County is the base of our independent regiment."

"what?"

The brigade commander suddenly cried out in horror.

Feelings, to get through the two regiment bases, this is how to get through, and directly beat down the county that was caught in the middle and occupied by the devils.

"Where is Li Yunlong now?"

asked the Brigadier.

"Header Ding, Header Kong is at Xujia Village."

The platoon leader on patrol replied.

"Is Kong Jie here?"

The brigade commander narrowed his eyes and waved his horsewhip: "Go, go to Xujia Village, let's speed up."

······
"Three tons of gold transported by water?"

Li Yunlong licked his lips subconsciously the first time he heard about the business.

Three tons of gold, that's a lot of money. He has enough supplies and doesn't need them, but the headquarters is in urgent need.If he can get this batch of gold, won't he go casually at the headquarters in the future?
It's just that the water transportation is not easy to handle.

"Yes, in two and a half months, the Devil's Navy has three tons of gold, which will be transported to the mainland by a transport ship, and the ship itself is not equipped with defensive weapons, only dozens of devil soldiers guarding it, and two small river guards escort it. "

Chen Fan's tone was full of temptation.

Seeing that Li Yunlong was still hesitant, he continued:
"I can provide you with a gasoline engine boat and some combat equipment."
