Rise from the sword

Chapter 467 It's time for Yoshimoto Sada to step down!
"good stuff?"

Zhang Dabiao, who was looking at the half-track armored vehicle from a distance, came over immediately when he heard the group leader say something good. When he saw the list, he frowned and said in a disgusted tone:

"Five hundred noise homing torpedoes?"

"What's the use of this thing? We don't have a navy, no estuary, no riverside ports, and no torpedo boats. We don't need it at all."

No matter how good something is, it is useless if it is not useful.

"Who said torpedoes must be launched from torpedo boats?"

Leader Li hummed.

"You want the special team to launch directly in the water?"

Zhang Dabiao immediately caught up with Li Yunlong's thoughts.

Today's Zhang Dabiao is not four years ago. Through uninterrupted reading and studying, he knows all kinds of basic knowledge of the army, navy, and the functions and uses of various weapons.

The torpedo is divided into two parts, the power system and the warhead. Generally, it is launched by the compressed air in the launch tube, and then pushed downstream to the target by its own power system. It can also preset the depth before launching. Some torpedoes can even completely hide the tail. Flow, such as the devil's oxygen torpedo.

Since the torpedo is propelled by its own power, it can be launched manually without the need for a torpedo tube.

Of course, the launch speed will be very slow, which will give the enemy warship more room to escape. Fortunately, the torpedo provided by Boss Chen is a battery-powered torpedo with a maximum speed of 37 knots and a range of [-] kilometers at the highest speed, which is very good.It can even automatically track targets based on the sound of warship propellers.

Li Yunlong licked his lips:

"The devil's navy, the price tag is really high."

"really."

Zhang Dabiao was deeply moved.

Not long ago, Wang Gensheng led people to blow up two small warships of the Devils, sank 247 tons, killed 3000 Devils sailors, obtained [-], [-] tons of weapons and ammunition, and more than [-] tons of food.

This is not counting the price tag given in the tank business.

It can be seen that the devil's navy has a high price tag.

What's more, what they killed were two antique warships from the Russo-Japanese War that were decommissioned ten years ago. They didn't even have names, and most of the ships were newly recruited sailors.

It is hard to imagine, if it is a regular combat warship, how much should it cost?
"but."

Looking at the detailed information in his hand, Zhang Dabiao continued to frown:
"This mine weighs 700 kilograms. We are at least [-] kilometers away from the sea. It is basically impossible to transport it without being discovered by the devils."

Although the independent regiment rubbed the devils on the ground, and the Jinchaji base area became like an iron barrel, the devils couldn't get in at all, but I think the main roads in other places are still in the hands of the devils, and they want to transport one and a half tons of torpedoes to the seaside Undetected, impossible.

As he said that, seeing Zhang Dabiao behind him, he immediately frowned:

"Oh, Boss Chen delivers nationwide, that's fine."

Then Zhang Dabiao fell into deep thought. He never understood how Boss Chen did it. Tens of thousands of tons of food supplies and more than 100 half-track trucks could arrive in a few hours, and they were sent to Northwest Shanxi. Inside the mountains.

"It seems that we have to establish a branch base by the sea."

Li Yunlong closed the torpedo information in his hand, talking to himself.

Then, he found a guard company soldier:

"Let Wang Gensheng wait for me at the regiment headquarters."

Every mission of the special team will have a mission record. Li Yunlong naturally still remembers that the last time the special team bombed a Japanese warship on the Huangpu River, they had contact with a guerrilla nearby.

That guerrilla team has developed very well in the local area.

"Captain."

Seeing that there were no other people nearby, Zhang Dabiao couldn't help asking:

"Tell me, how did Boss Chen bring these things here? We only said in the morning, and the goods were delivered in the afternoon. And it's exactly the same, it's just..."

For a while, Zhang Dabiao felt that he didn't know how to describe the outrageous degree of this matter.

"Why so much?"

Leader Li stared.

Doesn't he know that something is wrong and unreasonable?
This valley is surrounded by hills hundreds of meters away. There is only one road leading to the warehouse area of ​​the Independent Regiment. Tens of thousands of tons of grain and hundreds of tanks and armored vehicles are transported here silently. There was no movement during the delivery, no planes in the sky, no tunnels on the ground, not even a sound.

But anyway, it's a great thing, people don't want to talk about it, so why bother to get to the bottom of it?

"Yes."

Zhang Dabiao shrank his neck, he knew it naturally, but he just couldn't help it.

"Is today a good day?"

Li Yunlong changed the subject.

"Good day? No"

Zhang Dabiao thought about it, but he couldn't figure out what a good day it is today.

"That's weird."

Leader Li Da felt very inexplicable.

Excluding the five hundred rounds of mines, the rest of the list is all good things, fifty ten-wheel trucks, a lot of machinery and equipment for the production of guns, which add up to less than [-] tons, and a master mechanic.

It must be a big festival to give away so many good things for free.

"Forget it, I don't want to."

Li Yunlong shook his head.

······
One morning three days later.

A group of the special team, led by Wang Gensheng, headed for the estuary of the Huangpu River.

Simultaneously.

The firearms factory separated from the machinery factory is to organize the staff to accept the new batch of machinery and equipment, and the new mechanical master is also mainly responsible for the work of the machinery factory.

This previously unknown firearms factory was also officially named Shanxi Northwest Firearms Factory, and the factory director was named Yang Chengcai.

Yang Chengcai is 25 years old this year. He is a college student with a high cultural background. He used to work as a technician in a foreign machinery factory and could drive a truck.

Two years ago, when the independent regiment was still in Xujia Village, it was supported by the superior as a mechanical talent to the independent regiment. Afterwards, it followed Sun Desheng to serve in the machine step company, and opened the three bungee for more than half a year.

Later, the army was transferred to Zhaojiayu. When the machinery factory was established, he also took off his military uniform and entered the machinery factory to start his old business.

Because of his high level of education, outstanding technical ability, and good management level, he stood out and was appointed by Zhao Gang as the director of the Northwest Shanxi Firearms Factory.

At this time, the director Yang looked at the formal machinery and equipment being installed, and the master who belonged to the firearms factory, and an idea emerged in his heart.

Time to expand rifle production.

As the factory manager, he naturally knew that his Shanxi Northwest Machinery Factory was mainly responsible for the production of weapons and equipment for other troops, and the weapons and equipment for the independent regiment were provided by Boss Chen.

At present, the troops are running in small steps to unify the equipment for the main force and simplify logistics.

Each regiment needs [-] machine guns and [-] rifles.

Now the firearms factory, in cooperation with the Taihang Mountain Arsenal, can produce [-] light machine guns and [-] Bayi-style horse rifles every month.The machine guns barely met the troops' reloading needs, but the serious shortage of rifles delayed the reloading process.

Moreover, the design of the Bayi-style horse rifle is indeed a little bit worse, even if it is improved, it is much worse than the little devil's [-]-piece cover.

Therefore, the rifle model had to be replaced with the Mauser-style modified rifle equipped by the independent regiment.

There are a large number of standard parts of the Mauser rifle in the warehouse, which can be used. With these parts, he is sure to increase the production to more than [-] per month, or even [-] per month.

The Mauser rifle given by Boss Chen has a lot of spare parts.

Also the same day.

in the afternoon.

Independent regiment.

Zhao Gang is listening to the work report of the construction team.

“Construction of the two-lane light rail between the unloading point and the warehouse area has been completed.”

An engineer wearing a gray hat said with a folder in his hand. It is worth mentioning that the folder at this time is no longer a dilapidated folder seized from the devils, but a pure cardboard folder provided by Boss Chen.

"The tractors and carriages manufactured by the machinery factory have also passed the test and started to be delivered. From the unloading area to the warehouse, it is estimated that after half a month, they can reach the maximum transportation volume of [-] tons per day."

In order to catch up with the work, the design of the tractor was also done by the master himself, and the 330-horsepower diesel engine of the tank was directly used as the power. This thing has a large torque and amazing rail traction.

"it is good."

Commissar Zhao's eyes lit up.

Considering the huge throughput between the unloading area and the warehouse, at the beginning of the design, this double-line light rail increased the roadbed construction, coupled with the short distance, and the engine of the tank, this can reach a maximum of [-] tons per day. transport volume.

With this light rail, Boss Chen no longer needs to use a huge transport team to transport large quantities of goods, and can save a lot of manpower and material resources to go to other places for construction.

"Next, hurry up and build the light rail from the warehouse to the machinery factory."

The political commissar exhorted.

In order to increase the export of materials, after discussing with Li Yunlong, he decided to directly use fine grains and sugar to purchase steel, machinery and equipment, medicines and other materials that were lacking in the base area. To their surprise, this method directly solved the shortage of scrap steel in the machinery factory. .

Just half a month later, under the blockade of the devils, more than [-] tons of scrap steel were secretly transported in by merchants in North China every day, and there were many devil merchants among them. Machine parts and so on, and even a lot of weapon parts, some from devils, and some from the Jinsui army.

The temptation of big interests and the mobilization of social power by commercial means really made Commissar Zhao feel emotional and vigilant.

······
A week later, on October [-]th.

in the morning.

Ping An County.

Japanese Army Command.

"Master."

A staff officer came in and reported to Shinji Koza and Kazuki Yamamoto:
"The new heavy artillery brigade has set off from Beiping and will arrive in Yu County in four days. The headquarters ordered us to do a good job in security."

"Yo Xi."

Jia Zuo was overjoyed at that time.

In the last battle, the core factor for the victory of the Pingan County Imperial Army was the four Type 105 [-] long-range cannons of the heavy artillery brigade. When this new heavy artillery brigade arrives, Pingan County will have eight long-range cannons, which can completely suppress Independent regiment artillery throughout the battlefield.

The staff officer continued to report:

"From September 25th to the present, a total of 1 tons of hardbound sugar, [-] tons of hardbound flour, [-] tons of hardbound rice, and [-] tons of various coarse grains have been collected."

"Ten thousand tons of sugar..."

Yamamoto and Kosa looked at each other at the same time.

This number made the two of them feel a little bit wrong.

Too much!
The two of them naturally knew that the independent group base was using fine grains and hard-covered sugar to purchase scrap steel, medicines, and machinery and equipment, and the bids were several times the market price. Transport steel, medicines, etc.

They tried blocking, but it was pointless.

The mountain roads in the mountainous area of ​​Northwest Shanxi are complicated, and there is a large area of ​​Tuba Road base area behind the independent regiment. The blockade can only be a waste of manpower and material resources.

In addition, although the imperial army has mastered the main transportation routes in Shanxi, controlled the main counties, and was able to thoroughly search for materials, the materials they collected should only account for between one-third and one-fourth of the materials that flowed out. From this, it is speculated that, The independent regiment outflows up to [-] tons of supplies every month.

The outflow of such a huge amount of material cannot be explained by a loss of control.

It is very possible that these supplies were released on purpose by Li Yunlong.

"What does he want to do?"

Shinji Kozuo felt a chill run down his spine.

"do not know."

Yamamoto's sharp light flashed.

Although I don't know what Li Yunlong is thinking and what conspiracy he is preparing.

But he knew very well that he and the Ping'an County garrison had no way out. After the empire received the batch of sugar and grain, it immediately increased the dispatch of recruits, and at the same time ordered the North China Front Army to increase collection efforts.

With the will from the top, the First Army has no way out.

"However, our plans have to be accelerated."

Yamamoto looked at the map hanging on the wall.

"Correct."

Shinji Koza agrees.

No matter what Li Yunlong wants to do, all they can do is to carry out the final attack plan as soon as possible.The support wing of the Mongolian army has arrived, and the last four 105 long-range cannons will soon arrive.

The time is coming.

·······
at the same time.

Behind Zhao Jiayu's base area is a mountainous area.

buzz buzz...

In the low valley in the northwest of Shanxi, there was suddenly the sound of crawler rolling and the roar of diesel engines. After a while, thirty half-track armored vehicles pulled thirty new 105 howitzers into a flat ground.

The [-] armored vehicles pulled [-] cannons and parked neatly in the valley. Among the leading vehicles, the commander of the artillery company, Yan Sheng, walked out of the passenger cab and gave an order:
"gather."

"Build artillery positions."

Immediately, thirty artillery crews and hundreds of soldiers jumped off the half-track vehicles. Some soldiers started to build positions with military shovels, and some began to deploy cannons. Press hard in the dug position.

Eight minutes later, the thirty artillery pieces were deployed.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Yan Sheng was very satisfied.

Although the new 105 howitzer weighs nearly 2.5 tons and needs to be towed by a car to maneuver at high speed, its design is very reasonable. A trained artillery group can switch from marching to combat within a few minutes.

"Target, twelve kilometers, azimuth...grenade, five rapid-fire rounds."

Yan Sheng issued a live ammunition shooting order.

Thirty gun crews showed their actions in unison. The gunner adjusted the steering gear to aim at the target through accurate maps and shooting elements. The loader selected high-explosive grenades from the half-track carriage and pushed them into the barrel, and finally pulled the firing rope together.

boom···

Thirty muzzle blasts erupted, and thirty rounds of grenades weighing 30 kilograms crossed an arc and flew towards the target twelve kilometers away.Immediately afterwards, the artillery group fired continuously, and in just 150 seconds, [-] shells flew continuously to the intended target.

"Transfer position."

Iwamori ordered again.

The gun barrels were leveled, the large frame was put away, and the towing hook was hung on the half-track armored vehicle that had not been turned off. After just 2 minutes, thirty artillery pieces left the position.

······
A few days later, it was October NO.15.

"Shinozuka-kun."

Neiji Okamura sent a telegram to Yoshio Shinozuka:
"This is a commendation order from the Emperor and the base camp."

This sentence, Okamura Ningji said in a very kind tone, full of smiles.

Today, Shinozuka Yoshio can be said to be in the limelight.

It is proposed to directly send low-quality recruits, or even unorganized recruits, to the front for sharpening. This move has greatly eased domestic conflicts.

The departure of a large number of Class C recruits allowed the local government to concentrate on training excellent soldiers. At the same time, it also eased the domestic anti-war pressure. After all, in the current shortage of resources, there are fewer people and less demand, and the contradictions will naturally be alleviated.

After the first batch of materials were delivered to the mainland of Japan, although less than [-] tons of materials were just a drop in the bucket for a country, it also gave hope to the high-level Japanese army, and immediately stepped up efforts to send a large number of criminals, bankrupt people, and even anti-rebels. The fighters and others were all stuffed into the recruit team and sent over.

"This is half of Yamamoto-kun's contribution."

Shinozuka Yoshio accepted the telegram with a smile.

The recruits sent to Ping'an County are extremely complicated and have everything. It is not easy to use these people well. Yamamoto's training and management are very important.

"Yamamoto-kun is the pillar of the empire."

Neiji Okamura said:

"Tomorrow, [-] tons of sugar and [-] tons of white flour and rice will arrive in Peiping, all of which will be confiscated by the Ping'an County garrison."

"so much?"

Shinozuka Yoshio frowned.

The outflow of several thousand tons of important materials can be said to be a problem with management and control, but that is not the case for tens of thousands of tons.

"Shinozuka-kun."

"There is another piece of good news."

Neiji Okamura didn't notice Yoshio Shinozuka's expression and tone, he then handed Yoshio Shinozuka an order and said:

"The base camp has decided to promote your beloved General Kazuki Yamamoto and Chief Koza Shinji to the rank of least general!"

·······
at the same time.

Li Yunlong also received a message from Ito.

"It was Yoshio Shinozuka's idea to send a large number of recruits to Ping'an County?"

Looking at the information sent by the headquarters, Li Yunlong narrowed his eyes:

"So it's the old boy Shinozuka Yoshio!"

"It's him!"

Zhao Gang who happened to be at the regiment headquarters also smiled slightly.

It has to be said that this move did not cause any pressure on the independent group, but it helped a lot.

"The supplies we sent out are all thanks to this old devil."

Li Yunlong tapped the table with his fingers:

"It seems that it's time for Yoshimoto Zhen to step down."

How to get the Commander of the First Army to step down?This is actually very simple, as long as one important issue that affects the security of the so-called Japanese-occupied areas is solved.
