The father of the sword is Kong Jie

Chapter 897
In the end, the entire Japanese artillery test factory and processing factory were laid down.

It didn't take long at all.

On the contrary, it took a lot of effort when the soldiers tried to transport all the captured artillery and ammunition to various combat vehicles.

"Regimental Commander, it took nearly half an hour to finally pull all the various artillery and shells hoarded in the devil's warehouse into the car.

Good guy, fortunately we brought enough vehicles.

That's it, it's almost full, and we soldiers still need to occupy space.

It would be a pity if there were so few cars, and we couldn't bring these ammunition and artillery back, so we could only blow them up here. "

The big guy who couldn't put it down touched that door.

Looking at the cannonballs that both of them struggled to lift.

Followed by Zhang Dabiao who was busy together, wiped off the sweat that was still born even in this extremely cold winter, and returned to report.

"Everyone has worked hard!" Li Yunlong said.

Zhang Dabiao said happily: "Head, this kind of work, we soldiers said, everyone is happy to be exhausted!"

Uncontrollable smiles appeared on the faces of Zhang Dabiao and Li Yunlong.

"By the way, regiment commander, among the artillery captured this time, there are some large-caliber heavy artillery. If we capture them back, can they really stay in our new second regiment?"

The atmosphere was quite pleasant at first, because Zhang Dabiao, the commander of the first battalion, made such a suspicious statement.

All of a sudden it fell apart.

A smile uglier than crying froze on Li Yunlong's face.

"Damn it, I said Da Biao, why don't you open which pot and which pot you carry?"

Thinking of the helplessness of the old brigade commander's "telephone blackmail" for so many years.

Lao Li's heart was full of tears.

As for what Zhang Dabiao said just now, it can be regarded as asking the point.

Can Li Yunlong really keep this kind of large-caliber heavy artillery in his own hands?

Lao Li was silent for a while, and the brigade commander's voice seemed to have appeared in his mind.

Well... Mr. Li won't be working in vain, right?

……

Immediately after the artillery proving ground was shot down, Zhang Dabiao quickly arranged for some skilled fighters to quickly return to the area behind where various combat vehicles were temporarily parked.

Then, together with the remaining soldiers, they quickly drove the combat vehicle to the devil's artillery testing ground.

It took nearly half an hour.

The soldiers worked together, or carried, or carried, or pulled, and moved all kinds of artillery and ammunition that the devil had stored in the artillery testing ground and the warehouse of the processing factory.

After everything is done.

Li Yunlong did not dare to delay.

Pull all the artillery and ammunition into the car, and with an order, the soldiers set off on their way home.

At the same time, before leaving, a big fire was lit in the devil's artillery testing ground and the wooden workshop that could be burned in the processing factory.

Under the light of the rapidly burning raging fire, the soldiers returned with a full load.

As for the largest artillery testing ground and processing plant in Santai Township, the First Army of the Japanese Army in Shanxi.

It is entirely predictable that it will not be long before it will be completely burned to a heap of ashes.

Because of this raid on the devil's artillery testing ground, the battle went quite smoothly.

The news of the surprise attack on the Devils Artillery Proving Ground has not been conveyed in time.

It wasn't until Li Yunlong and his party seized all the shells and artillery from the Devil's artillery testing ground and processing factory that the entire mechanized combat force-at this time, it is more appropriate to describe it as a transport force, completely moved away from Santai Township.

About another hour passed.

Due to some movement from the artillery testing ground, the devils from a medium-sized Japanese stronghold nearby, out of caution, tried to contact the communication department of the artillery testing ground to ask what was going on.

Just haven't been able to get in touch.

a long time.

The little devil tried to contact the communication department of the artillery proving ground several times, but he never got any response.

The ghost lieutenant who was in charge of guarding the stronghold noticed something unusual, so he sent some scouts to investigate in the direction of the artillery testing ground.

As a result, the scouts hurried back, saying that the artillery testing ground had been raided.

It seemed to be lit by someone, and it was still in a sea of ​​flames.

After the news spread quickly.

The Japanese military command departments at all levels who heard the news completely exploded.

As the largest artillery testing ground and processing plant of the First Army stationed in Shanxi, its important role is self-evident.

The artillery testing ground was raided by the enemy and even burned to the ground.

Such news was like a bolt from the blue to the little devils of the First Army.

The stakes are high.

Naturally, the news soon alerted the headquarters of the Devil's First Army in Shanxi.

After all, Santai Township originally belonged to Taiyuan's jurisdiction, but it was located in a relatively remote area on the outskirts of Taiyuan.

In the middle of the night, Kitagawa, the devil's chief of staff, rushed to the headquarters and reported to Yoshio Shinozuka that the artillery testing ground had been attacked.

Shinozuka Yoshio who suddenly heard the news was completely dumbfounded.

From this winter, the troops led by Na Kongjie took the lead in launching a major counterattack against part of the area occupied by his First Army.

This bad news is one piece after another.

As the commander of the First Army, Shinozuka Yoshio originally thought that there should be no particularly bad news at this point, which was enough to surprise him.

It's numb anyway.

But right now, these Eight Routes have reached Santai Township quietly, and successfully attacked the largest artillery testing ground of his First Army.

Simply unforgivable!
"These damn bastards, where did they get the information? They even managed to reach Santai Township!"

Under the shock of this bad news, Yoshio Shinozuka could no longer be calm as before, couldn't help but pounded his fist on the table and reprimanded loudly.

"What do the combat troops outside Santai Township do for food?
Was such a large enemy army that had sneaked into the test site unaware?

My mighty first army, even the artillery testing ground was taken over by the Eight Route Army, what could be more ironic than this?

It was a total fiasco! "

Beichuan on the side asked, "General, do you think the Eighth Route Army must have done it?"

Shinozuka Yoshio said decisively: "Apart from the Eighth Route, are there any other teams around us that dare to be so rampant?"

Bei Chuan was silent, this was indeed the truth.

"General, you are right.

It is only possible that the Eighth Route Army did it.

In the past few days, the Eighth Route Army launched an attack on our army's remote towns, county towns, and small and medium-sized strongholds every day after it got dark.

It even caused a large number of garrison troops on the outer line of Santai Township to go around for reinforcements, but the troops were empty. This sudden appearance of the mechanized combat troops of the Eighth Route Army took advantage of the vacancy.

Attacked our army's artillery testing ground! "

Followed by.

Under the order of Shinozuka Yoshio, the relevant departments of the Japanese army quickly made statistics on the general situation of the artillery test site being attacked and the loss of the artillery test site.

Relevant clerks came to report: "Report to the general, the situation of the artillery test site being attacked has been investigated clearly.

We conducted a detailed search of the artillery testing ground, the processing plant, and the general surrounding area, and found no corpses of any enemy soldiers.

Judging from the traces of the battle, our guard troops did not make a particularly effective resistance.

The barbed wire defenses on the outer line were pried open in advance.

Most of the defenders were even killed in the bunker, and their remains were all charred in the fire.

In addition, around the test site, we found traces of some artillery hoarded by our army in the test site and processing factory. On the mountain road 800 meters away from the artillery test site, we also found a large number of rut traces.

Judging by the ruts, it appeared to be some large delivery trucks, including some motorcycles. "

"As for the artillery lost by our army, including the relevant quantity of shells, the statistics have been completed.

The list is as follows.

九一式十厘米野炮4门、75毫米骑兵野炮2门、三八式150毫米野战榴弹炮1门、九七式70毫米轻迫击炮3门……九八式20毫米防空机关炮4门、缴获的中国军队的40毫米高炮八门……各类炮弹损失将近1200枚……”

boom!
"damn it!"

As the list continues to be enumerated, it means that the loss of his first army will be greater when the artillery testing ground is raided by the enemy.

Yoshio Shinozuka, who was listening to the report, looked even more ugly.

"Mr. Beichuan, it seems that the situation is worse than we expected. The Eighth Route Army not only attacked our artillery testing ground, but judging from the battle situation.

Our defenders were easily defeated by those Eighth Route Army.

Obviously, Balu has enough time to steal all the artillery we hoarded in the artillery testing ground and processing factory..."

Shinozuka Yoshio didn't say the rest.

This means that with the destruction of the artillery testing ground, his First Army suffered heavy losses, while the Eighth Route Army seized a large amount of artillery and ammunition, and its strength will be greatly improved.

Under this situation.

What the result will be, one can imagine.

The two old devils were so depressed that they almost vomited blood.

Bei Chuan, the devil's chief of staff, sighed helplessly in his heart:
Ever since the Shanxi-Northwest Triangle, especially the Eighth Route Army's Anti-Japanese Independent First Detachment led by Kong Jie, has gradually grown, everything has been like a nightmare.

Since then, in the confrontation with the Eighth Route Army, in the defeat after defeat, his First Army seems to have been going downhill.

Not long ago, there were even rumors that Yoshio Shinozuka, the commander of the First Army, had been criticized for his frequent defeats against the Taihang, Taiyue, and Northwest Shanxi Eighth Route Army in Shanxi.

Beichuan even heard some gossip.

The higher command department is even preparing to change generals.

To replace Shinozuka Yoshio, the commander of the First Army, transfer Shinozuka Yoshio to the rear reserve.

"General, we can no longer hesitate. We must use an absolutely subversive battle to completely break the curse of our First Army's continuous defeat against the Eighth Route Army in recent years."

Bei Chuan, who was thinking about these things in his head, couldn't bear it anymore, and he spoke firmly.

"I believe, General, only under your leadership can our First Army truly achieve final victory!"

Yoshio Shinozuka naturally understood what Beichuan was thinking, and Yoshio Shinozuka had also heard about the news from the higher command that he was about to change generals.

Once upon a time, just took office as the commander of the First Army.

When he was in charge of public security in Shanxi, Yoshio Shinozuka was also full of vigor and ambition, and even buried his ambition deep in his heart.

But to this day, I don't know when, as the combat troops of the First Army were defeated again and again in the hands of the Eighth Route Army.

This old ambition seems to have gradually disappeared.

Yoshio Shinozuka was naturally unwilling.

He thought that the development of the First Army could only truly grow under his own hands. If it was in the hands of other people, the First Army would inevitably go down the wrong path.

"Sakata's broken jade, Yamazaki's death in battle, the destruction of the observation group, the failure of the cage policy, the destruction of the Ishii Regiment, the disastrous defeat of the Fourth Brigade..."

This is one piece at a time.

Shinozuka Yoshio muttered in his mouth.

"It's time to teach these damn Eighth Route Army a bloody lesson!"

Under Bei Chuan's suggestion, Shinozuka Yoshio, who seemed to have regained his strength, collected himself, then raised his head and asked, "How is the relevant intelligence investigation going?"

Bei Chuan nodded heavily and replied: "General, please rest assured, after several months of investigation, we have completely locked down the largest and almost only large arsenal of the Eighth Route Army - the Huangyadong arsenal. location.

As the largest arsenal of the entire Eighth Route Army.

In recent years, a large amount of equipment has been seized during the confrontation between the Eighth Route Army Shanxi Northwest Iron Triangle and other combat forces and our army.

For example, a large amount of equipment that Kong Jie once seized from the arsenal of the North China Security Force.

Basically, they were used by the Eighth Route Army in the operation and production of the Huangyadong Arsenal.

The arsenal of Eighth Road is indeed developing rapidly. Although we do not have the most accurate information, according to the speculation of our military intelligence department, the Huangyadong arsenal of Eighth Road has all kinds of mechanical equipment.

I am afraid that a considerable amount has accumulated.

Moreover, the production technology of the munitions controlled by the Eighth Route Army seems to be advancing by leaps and bounds.

The monthly output of guns, even the most conservative ones, is estimated to be upwards of 1000.

They even have the military industrial capability to independently produce all kinds of artillery.

General, in other words, the Huangyadong Armory is the most important source of equipment and ammunition for the Eighth Route Army troops, and it is also the biggest hidden danger for our imperial troops.

Similarly, if our army can destroy the largest military production base of the Eighth Route Army, the Huangyadong Arsenal, in one fell swoop.

Then we will usher in the most significant victory since the match against the Eighth Route Army. "

After a pause, Beichuan said firmly: "He can even reverse the unfavorable situation in which our army has gradually been at a disadvantage against the Eighth Route Army in recent years.

It even washed away the shame of our First Army fighting against the Eighth Route Army and losing many times. "

There is another sentence that Bei Chuan held back in his heart:
Perhaps successfully destroying the Huangyadong Armory of the Eighth Route Army can also stabilize Yoshio Shinozuka's command position, so that he will not be replaced in battle.

Finally, Beichuan added a special sentence:
"Also, General, in a few days' time the Chinese will celebrate the so-called Spring Festival, which is the most important holiday in the year for the Chinese.

This time the Eighth Route Army achieved considerable victories through attacks from all sides.

I think after this battle is over, they will definitely not give up celebrating the Spring Festival.

This is when their defense is at their loosest and their vigilance is at its worst.

If our army can take this opportunity to attack the arsenal of the Eighth Route Army.

Victory will definitely belong to my Great Japanese Empire! "

Yoshio Shinozuka was lost in thought...
