Rise from the sword

Chapter 530

Li Yunlong: First set him a small goal, to wipe out [-] devils at once!

No matter how anxious the American general Wei Demei was, things were still developing according to Li Yunlong's plan.

Even the time is greatly advanced.

Only by the end of May, with the strong support of the superiors, the comprehensive reorganization plan of the independent regiment was initially completed.

Sufficient to overflowing supplies allowed the troops to maximize their organizational capabilities, and their strength grew more rapidly, especially in terms of cultivating talents, which achieved explosive results.

As of the end of May, the Independent Regiment had a total of [-] infantry battalions, [-] artillery battalions, [-] tank battalions, two flight brigades, one airlift brigade, some logistics battalions, and air defense battalions.

among them.

All the infantry battalions were equipped with new semi-automatic rifles, equipped with big mules as transport forces, and attached to an independent 120 mortar company. With logistical supplies, each battalion's combat effectiveness on paper surpassed three full-staffed devil infantry brigades.

Except for some mountain or light battalions, the artillery battalion has been replaced with the new 125 howitzer, and the transportation has also been changed to ten-wheeled trucks, or big jeeps and half-track tractors, completely mechanized.

As for the tank battalion, Li Yunlong also thought about changing to new equipment, and even exchanged a lot of tanks such as No. [-] and No. [-] for testing.

System produced, needless to say.

The basic shape of the No. [-] tank is the same as the original version, but the staggered load wheels are replaced by single wheels, with better materials, a higher-horsepower diesel engine, improved power protection, and stronger off-road passability.

So did the Panzer VI.

But after the test, Li Yunlong gave up changing the tank.

For one thing, No. [-] is enough to deal with the devils. There is no need for that. Anyway, the latest anti-tank gun of the little devil can't penetrate the front armor of the No. [-] tank.

Secondly, even if the technical foundation of the engine is similar, it takes a long time for the troops to get familiar with a new tank, let alone an independent regiment with a weak foundation.

Three, these two things are really too heavy.

The lightest one is more than 40 tons, and the heaviest is even [-] to [-] tons. Zhaojiayu's roads are a bit unbearable, and I don't know how many road bridges I crossed during the test.

In the later stage of the test, the bridges were even reinforced urgently, and some bridges were simply rebuilt with reinforced concrete.

Coupled with the lack of tank crews, it is said that there are more than 1000 tanks in the [-] tank battalions, but only about half of them can actually fight, so the replacement plan was abandoned.

After completing the adaptation, Li Yunlong did not act immediately, but started large-scale training to familiarize the troops with the new weapons and the new establishment.

The gunners are familiar with the new artillery, the old tank crews teach the new tank crews to practice combat, the infantry are familiar with the new firearms, and the old and new pilots learn from each other. Of course, the main reason is that they consume too much material.

At the same time, it began to organize forces to collect intelligence on the First Army on a large scale to prepare for the upcoming attack.

After that, Li Yunlong called the monk and the special team.

"Is the special team ready?"

Li Yunlong asked.

"Ready."

The monk spoke confidently.

A month ago, the special team received the mission to attack the Devils Airport and cooperate with the Air Force to destroy the Devils Air Force Base in Hubei, Henan, Anhui and other places, mainly to provide positioning and intelligence support for the Air Force.

At the same time, he also gave the mission information and the specific location. He has organized targeted training for the brigade for a month.

He has already prepared for this.

"it is good."

Li Yunlong is very satisfied:

"Let's go tomorrow."

Kong Jie is about to arrive at his destination. It is estimated that the airport will be built in half a month. The air transport brigade has also been formed, and a total of 54 transport aircraft have begun training.

But before the mission begins, the problem of the devil's aircraft must be solved. Transport aircraft are much more vulnerable than attack aircraft.

"Yes."

The monk salutes.

Simultaneously.

It's also May.

In the second stage of Devil's No. [-] Operation, the Battle of Changheng began. Its goal was to completely open up the Hunan-Guangxi Railway, destroy and destroy the surrounding Sino-US airports, and remove the air threat to the mainland.

Just like in the Battle of Henan, the Japanese army under the command of Isamu Yokoyama fought successively and victoriously, which caused the international community's impression of the Republic of China to plummet. Foreign allied conferences also fell into the passive frequently, and representatives were even laughed at face to face.

At this time, few people paid attention to the turbulent undercurrent in Jin Province, and no one paid attention to the battle of troops attacking the Mongolian army.In the eyes of others, except for the Kwantung Army, the rest of the devils are not worth mentioning.

Even the intelligence agencies of various countries were frantically looking for Chen Fan, but they didn't pay much attention to the army that came out of Mudleg.

Even if a farmer gets a tank, he is still a farmer, only farming.

······
early june.

The overall situation remains unchanged.

The battle of Changheng was still progressing with the devil's way, and the Guofu troops practiced and retreated. However, compared with the smooth battle of Yuzhong, the devils fought extremely hard in this battle. At this time, the devil's army is still far away from Hengyang, one of the targets. far away.

The progress of the battle was much slower than expected.

The main reason is that after receiving sufficient fuel and bomb supplies, the Sino-US joint air force not only completely suppressed the devil's army aviation unit, but also provided strong support for the ground forces.

Although it is far from Hao Heng of the independent regiment's aviation brigade, it also makes Yokoyama Yong miserable.

Of course, there is another reason.

That is, many of the devil's airports and planes were all taken over by the monk and the special team to cooperate with the independent aviation brigade. The angry Yokoyama cursed, and even called Shinozuka Yoshio many times to scold Yoshio Shinozuka, and even Neji Okamura, but There was nothing he could do, facing the urging of the base camp and the prime minister, he could only pinch his nose and continue the attack regardless of the casualties.

Without the support of the air force, the transportation team was completely exposed to the enemy's air force, and it would be hell if the devils could go well.

the other side.

Zhao Jiayu's base.

It's hot in here.

The tank business was settled again, and the Independent Regiment received twice as many supplies as in May.

More than 80 tons of ammunition, more than [-] million tons of reinforced concrete, and tens of thousands of vehicles. The huge amount of supplies directly made Zhao Gang's eyes red. He launched a large-scale expansion plan for the construction team again, and asked Chen Fan to exchange dozens of masters. To be responsible for the management of the construction brigade and the construction and design of the base.

At the beginning of the month, the monk led a special team and cooperated with the flying brigade to cut off several devil airports in the south. Not only did the safety problem of the transport plane be solved, but he also obtained a lot of master quotas. Zhao Gang got the support of dozens of top talents at one time, which can basically solve the problems in the development and construction of the base area.

But the tens of millions of tons of fuel behind made it difficult for the political commissar.

Large fuel base.

Every time a devil is eliminated, there will be 3000 tons, and the tank business will also be given as a gift. , the total amount has nearly exceeded [-] million tons.

It's too much.

There's simply no way this can be used up.

In May, even the base areas tried their best to sell heavy oil and low-grade gasoline.Tens of thousands of trucks and half-track vehicles stomped on the accelerator. Farms, troops, and construction brigades even used fuel as firewood, and they almost ran out.

Not to mention the doubling of June.

But it must be used up, otherwise the reimbursement cannot be made next month, and it cannot be doubled.

For this matter, Zhao Gang thought for a long time but couldn't find a solution. During the period, he lost a lot of hair. In the end, he had no choice but to find Li Yunlong, thinking that Li Datuan had a lot of tricks, and gave him some ideas.

"Too much fuel? Can't run out?"

Hearing Zhao Gang's problem and looking at the calculation form on the table, Li Yunlong fell into deep thought.

This is indeed a big problem.

The fuel must be exhausted, there is no need to discuss this matter.

Everything is for reimbursement.

But Lao Zhao has used all the methods available in the base area, increased consumption and increased sales, but still can't use them up.It's not winter now, and he can't use fuel oil for heating. He really can't find any other good ways, so he can't throw them away.

"In the future, the more energy, the better for a country, right?"

Li Yunlong suddenly raised his head and asked Zhao Gang.

The base area is getting bigger and bigger, and the development is getting faster and faster. The vision of Li Datuan is getting wider and the feeling is getting deeper and deeper.

Why has the base area with Ping'an County as the core developing faster and faster recently?
The core factor is not only the increasing number of ordinary people, the population is only the foundation of a region's development, the real reason is the nearly [-] vehicles and trucks of various types scurrying in the base area, and those fuel steam locomotives roaring on the railway tracks.

It is they who drive the base area to grow faster and faster, and it is they who drive and link the huge materials provided by the huge brother Chen with the huge population of the base area.

Without these mechanical equipment, the development speed of the base area would at least lag behind by a large margin.

As for these mechanical equipment, the most important thing is the fuel. I didn't see the devil crying for his father and mother looking for fuel, and he even dug a hole to put fuel, and he jumped into it desperately.

"Correct."

Zhao Gang nodded:
"Cheap and plentiful energy is a must for a country to grow and thrive."

He was able to formulate development plans unscrupulously, and the surrounding areas of Ping'an County's base area could develop and grow by leaps and bounds. There are many factors, but one of them is the extremely cheap transportation system.

"That."

Li Yunlong narrowed his eyes:

"For the future, let's do a test."

"test?"

Zhao Gang was taken aback.

"Correct."

Li Yunlong hooked his mouth and explained:
"Brother Chen will give more and more fuel in the future, and we can't use it up now, let alone in the future, so let's find a way to save all the fuel, and use it later when the country is building up."

"save?"

Zhao Gang's eyes lit up.

The fuel provided by Boss Chen comes in containers with various specifications. There are standard fuel oil drums with a capacity of one-seventh of a ton, portable iron drums of [-] to [-] liters, and large oil pipes of dozens of tons.

These containers are of good quality, thick, painted on the outside, anti-corrosion, anti-rust and moisture-proof, and it will not be a problem to store them in the warehouse for more than ten years.

This is indeed a good way.

"but."

Then Zhao Gang frowned:
"Only the supplies we have used will be reimbursed double by Brother Chen."

It can be doubled in July, and it can be doubled in August after the first army is wiped out. There may be a chance to double it in September. If you give up reimbursement and choose to save it now, it will definitely be a big loss.

"So, we have to find a way to be reimbursed and save."

Li Yunlong showed his signature smile.

·······
"General, there is not enough aviation fuel, and it is impossible to take off."

After listening to the staff officer's explanation, Shinozuka Yoshio sighed at Taiyuan Airport, looking at a reconnaissance plane parked in the airport in the distance.

Recently, although Li Yunlong made a big move in the area where the Mongolian army was stationed, the Mongolian army was crying for their fathers and mothers, and several brigade leaders were killed, but Li Yunlong did not relax his pressure on the First Army at all.

On the imperial army positions near Taiyuan in Yangquan, a large number of shells fell every day, a large number of soldiers died every day, and the positions needed maintenance every day.

Around the Zhengtai Railway, a large number of Tuba Road regular troops were mobilized to form a pocket, which filled the entire First Army located on the Zhengtai Railway, waiting to be swallowed in one bite.

Catch the turtle in the urn!

So he planned to send a reconnaissance plane to scout around at the risk of being shot down, but unexpectedly, there was no aviation fuel.

"Go down."

Shinozuka Yoshio sighed again.

After June, Li Yunlong increased the amount of fuel released again.

Today, he collects more than [-] tons of fuel every day, and transports the fuel back to the country by rail. It can be said that he can meet the minimum needs of the empire with just one Zhengtai line.

But the problem is that these fuels are all heavy oil, which is only suitable for marine steam turbines, and it is difficult to refine them into gasoline and diesel, let alone high-grade aviation gasoline.

Although the empire is really doing a lot of research on converting heavy oil into gasoline and diesel, and even asked Germany to help provide technical support, the progress is worrisome, and there has been no breakthrough or progress so far.

So, his scout plane took off without fuel.

"General Yamamoto."

After looking back at Taiyuan City for a long time, Shinozuka Yoshio suddenly spoke.

"General?"

Yamamoto was puzzled.

For the first time in history, Yoshio Shinozuka called him General.

"Go and take your special team to SJZ, where to organize recruit training, don't come to Taiyuan for the time being."

Shinozuka Yoshio's tone was full of bleakness.

Tuba Road, the strength of the guerrillas is increasing every day, the number of people is increasing, the equipment is getting better and better, and there are more and more aircraft, tanks and cannons, and his first army, although the number of people is increasing, is now over ten Ten thousand, but they are all crooked soldiers.

And there are almost no heavy weapons.

Just like the army of the Republic of China seven years ago, the opponent's strength has indeed surpassed the empire seven years ago.

No need to think about it, once the opponent launches an attack, the First Army will not be able to hold back for long, and will be wiped out soon, and the high-level empire will never allow him to retreat for the sake of fuel.

The lives of 10,000 imperial citizens are exchanged for [-]+ tons of fuel oil per month. This account...

"Hi."

Yamamoto moved his mouth, but he could only nod in the end.

Everyone can see the situation in Shanxi, so he naturally knows it clearly.

If you continue to stay in Shanxi, you can only die.It's no use who comes.The current Tuba Road, and Li Yunlong, even if all the Kwantung Army came over, it would not help.

"Let's go now."

Shinozuka Yoshio waved his hand with a calm tone.

"General, please take care."

Yamamoto bowed his head heavily before leaving.
