Chapter 105 Kill back
"Hehe! Brother Ren, your rocket launcher is really useful. Can you think of more ways to make more of them later?" Li Yunlong saw that the situation was already decided. He lay on the grave, raised a telescope to continue observing the battle situation, and said to Ren Zhong in a relaxed manner.

"Old Li, this thing is not like a mortar. Gao Kaiming and the others have the basics and can make it just by looking at the drawings. I can use this thing, but I'm not familiar with its principles and manufacturing. Just do your best." Ren Zhong said with a wry smile.

Is this because I am unwilling to speed up?
I really don't know much. The more modern the weapon, the less detailed the information he can find.

Of course, you can find rough structural diagrams and schematics, but it is not easy to turn them into actual products.

Even for a product like the Type 56-, which is less difficult to manufacture than the RPG, Ren Zhong would ask Zhao Lidong to first conduct simulation research to understand the manufacturing process of most components.

RPG rockets do not have such prerequisites.

But then again, this thing is really useful for attacking the Japanese strongholds. It can handle breaches like walls from a distance of five or six hundred meters. For the gunners, the danger level is greatly reduced.

This thing can fire at a maximum range of nearly 1 kilometer, and most of the Japanese strongholds are within its range!
Compared with the torpedo cannon, the efficiency of destroying the Japanese strongholds has reached a new level. Ren Zhong is even thinking about going to Dara Town again to see if he can get another batch.

Li Yunlong and his men were chatting leisurely about their aspirations for the future. On the other side, a company commander led a large team into the prisoner-of-war camp. They first found the cells where the prisoners were held and rescued the captured warriors inside. There was no suspense in the following battle.

Although the Japanese special forces were fearless and turned around to attack the first company, they had never expected that the first company had so many light machine guns. They relied on their experience to use their firepower advantage to break through the encirclement of the first company.

However, they didn't expect that what was waiting for them was the even more intense firepower from more than a dozen machine guns. More than half of the dozen Japanese soldiers were killed in just one encounter. Wei Dayong, who had been blocked in the room by the Japanese soldiers, found the right opportunity to rush out and attacked the Japanese soldiers from the front and back. This time, the arrogant Japanese special forces were wiped out without even making a move!

This time, not a single Japanese prisoner was taken!

In this small prisoner-of-war camp, the spoils were extremely rich. With more than 6000 prisoners and more than 1000 Japanese soldiers, they stored nearly a month's worth of food. According to the configuration of half a pound of life-saving food for the prisoners and one and a half pounds of rations for the Japanese soldiers, Li Yunlong and his men seized more than pounds of food and cans of meat!

This was a special request from Yamamoto Ikki for the special forces team. After all, their training intensity was very high, and the meat supply was much higher than that of ordinary Japanese soldiers.

As for the 4 captured Type 40 light machine guns, more than Type rifles, and MP submachine guns, they are nothing to the current independent regiment.

After all, the independent regiments now have to start mass production of 56 semi-automatic rifles.

However, this batch of food is of great significance to the Independent Regiment. Now is the time of famine, and there is not enough food in the base. It is also very difficult to import food from outside. Even people like Ren Zhong, in the Independent Regiment, have the same food of half a pound of coarse and fine grains as everyone else, and the rest is supplemented by wild vegetables.

It’s not that the independent regiment was short of food for Ren Zhong alone, this was Ren Zhong’s own request. He knew that in the Eighth Route Army, officers and soldiers were all the same. In this difficult time, even the bosses ate almost the same food. Except for the wounded, no one was treated specially.

These thousands of kilograms of grain and the captured canned meat are extremely precious.

Li Yunlong had never expected that this battle sideline would be so rich.

But in this case, the original method of avoiding the Japanese hiding during the day and moving at night became a bit difficult to implement. Not only did the number of personnel increase by more than double, but how could they carry so much food over the mountains and across the ridges? !
"Brother Ren, Lao Kong, we have to cross two blockade lines to go back. This time we may have to force our way back." While Li Guangshun, Wei Heshang and others were cleaning up the battlefield, Li Yunlong unfolded the map and began to discuss the retreat with Kong Jie and Ren Zhong.

The original plan was to rescue the prisoners and then lead the men over the mountains and across the hills to avoid the blockade, but now there are nearly 400 kilograms of food and the team has expanded to over people, which means that each person has to carry an extra kilograms of stuff.

Unfortunately, the food was in a 50-jin sack and could not be separated at all. It took dozens of miles of mountain roads to transport it.

There is no means of transportation in the prisoner-of-war camp, and everything depends on manpower.

You can only take the main road.

"We have no way to avoid the two strongholds of Tangjialing and Wangkou." Li Yunlong pointed at the two Japanese strongholds that blocked the way back. Wangkou was a large stronghold on the Zhengtai Highway, with a full squad of Japanese soldiers and a company of puppet troops stationed there. It had a sturdy artillery tower, which was not as good as the crudely made artillery tower in Lizhuang.

It is as high as a three-story building. In addition to the Type 3 light machine gun, the top two floors are also equipped with a Type heavy machine gun!

Under normal circumstances, an independent regiment lacking siege artillery would have no way to deal with such a stronghold and could only take a detour!
But now with the RPG rocket launcher brought by Ren Zhong, after Li Yunlong saw its power with his own eyes, he couldn't help but have some thoughts in his mind.

These turrets have relatively abundant supplies, so taking them down would be very rewarding.

"I think it's possible, but our strength is still insufficient. What I mean is that we should report the situation to the brigade headquarters and let the second battalion come to support us, and bring flying thunder cannons and more rockets. This way, even if the rocket launcher attack fails, we still have remedial measures." Kong Jie looked at the map and added.

"On both sides of the Wangkou stronghold, there are at least two squads of Japanese soldiers who will rush over to reinforce in half an hour at most. If we don't have the support of the Second Battalion, we may have a hard time dealing with them."

The reason why Kong Jie said it was difficult was because the company's firepower was unprecedentedly strong, with more than twenty machine guns. Otherwise, a company with ordinary configuration would have a hard time dealing with even a single squad of Japanese devils, let alone two.

Generally, the Japanese field squad must be equipped with at least 3 Type 3 light machine guns and a grenade launcher squad with 120 grenade launchers! This firepower exceeds the normal company-level firepower configuration of the Eighth Route Army, not to mention that a small Japanese soldier has rounds of ammunition!

The difference between the Eighth Route Army and the others, who each had a few bullets per person, was like heaven and earth.

"No problem, I'll take care of the artillery tower." After accomplishing a great task without any trouble in the prisoner-of-war camp, Ren Zhong is now full of confidence.

"No, the battle back is very dangerous. We have to let Zhuzi and the others take down the artillery tower!" This time, Li Yunlong flatly rejected Ren Zhong's request to fight.

There's nothing I can say.
