Show the sword, start from the guerrillas

Chapter 444 Chapter 443, Let’s Go
"Firepower is king? I vaguely remember someone mentioning this before?" Minister Zhang looked at Li Yuexuan, suddenly patted the documents in his hand and said, "You mentioned it in your battle report!"

Minister Zhang smiled awkwardly and then changed the subject: "Go ahead if you want to. The steel can Flying Thunder Cannon and the long-distance grenade can be produced smoothly at the headquarters arsenal. Except that they consume too much explosives, there are no other shortcomings! However, we are currently collecting a large amount of the devil's fertilizer powder from the Japanese-occupied areas through various channels."

"Do you know about fertilizer powder? There is a scientist named Ye who has given us a way to process fertilizer powder into explosives in the arsenal in Jizhong! So, we can still make some explosives! What you said makes sense. There are so many good comrades, many of whom are veterans who have fought in hundreds of battles. Each of them is an experienced grassroots commander. It would be a pity if they were killed!"

"Do you agree that I can take people to Lijiaopo?" Li Yuexuan took the initiative to skip the rest of the words and only asked the key points.

"Go ahead, bring your special forces team and the first company, and bring some flying thunder cannons and long-distance grenades, and let the commanders of the main regiments see the power of this new weapon with their own eyes!" Minister Zhang said with a smile.

"Aren't you afraid that they will come to you to ask for this after seeing such a powerful weapon?" Li Yuexuan asked back.

"I'm just worried that they won't come to ask for it! I'll make a rule for them. If they bring 50 Japanese collar badges, they can be allocated one Flying Thunder Cannon! Is that okay? In the future, if our arsenal is short of anything, we can give tasks to the leaders of these main regiments. If they want good weapons, they can go and get materials in exchange! Look at this siege, we have hundreds of tons of rails in stock!"

When Minister Zhang said this, he had already written an order in his hand and stamped it with a snap: "Xiao Wang, come in and pass this order down. Let them get ready!"

Xiao Wang came in and went out again, but Minister Zhang picked up the teacup and drank a sip of water steadily and continued: "The order has been issued. You can lead the team to set off in about half an hour! By the way, how is your little sister? Comrade Xu Hongying, is her injury okay? In this battle at the medical station, she personally killed at least 15 Japanese soldiers and led the nurses to fight to the death. She is really a good daughter of China!"

"The injury has stabilized and there is no infection. Everything is moving in the right direction! She is awake and her brain is not damaged! I think it won't be long before she can pick up her weapon and continue fighting again! Of course, there are some bad things, such as some missing bones on the left cheek and sutures of the laceration. Her appearance will be different." Li Yuexuan said.

"Appearance? A young girl..." Minister Zhang sighed and said, "But it doesn't matter. This is the best medal for an anti-Japanese fighter! I think no matter whether she joins the army or stays in the hospital, no one will look down on her! Maybe, they will even admire her sincerely! After all, her achievements are there!"

"Haha, you don't seem worried at all? Is there any other way?" Minister Zhang asked curiously when he saw Li Yuexuan's nonchalant look.

"What can I do? I'm not the legendary god or monster. Do I have any so-called magic power? Scars, especially the scars left on us by the Japanese, are the highest medals for soldiers! Especially, we have eliminated the Japanese. This is a glory worth bragging about for a lifetime! Who dares to say it doesn't look good?" Li Yuexuan said.

"Okay, go ahead. Come back quickly and continue to make assault rifles! With this assault rifle in hand, not only will the firepower be enhanced, but it will also make it easier for the soldiers to suppress the enemy during the attack!"

Minister Zhang waved his hand and said, "By the way, when you go to Shimen Village, don't forget to look for Director Zhao. He has always wanted to see the Flying Thunder Cannon in your hand! Go ahead!"

Li Yuexuan didn't say anything, but saluted, turned around and left the office, and took Cai Xiaotian back to his residence. At this time, the special service team and the special operations team had already assembled here, and they also brought full combat equipment and three days of combat rations. Li Yuexuan didn't say anything else, went back to the house to hang up all the equipment, and led the team to the north entrance of the line of sky. Then, Zheng Changfeng was ready, and there were 4 launchers for long-range cannons and flying thunder cannons here.

There are launchers, and of course there are shells, but the shells are packed in wooden boxes on a cart for easy transportation to the battlefield. As for the quantity? 24 each, no more, no less.

This time, a total of 48 powerful weapons were sent to the battlefield, which was definitely a big deal in the Eighth Route Army! Therefore, Li Yuexuan excitedly led his men out of the narrow gap, and then, under the leadership of the 9th Company of the headquarters special forces regiment, he rushed directly to Lijiapo.

Lijiaopo is actually not far from Shimen Village where the headquarters was originally located, and Shimen Village is also on the road from the arsenal to Lijiaopo.

So, when they arrived at Shimen Village, Li Yuexuan and his group met Director Zhao, who was standing on the roadside with several artillery students.

Li Yuexuan knew Director Zhao, so he went to greet him from a distance. After exchanging salutes with the sharpshooter, he quickly spoke first: "Director Zhao, what's the situation now? I heard from Minister Zhang that you are here. I guess the headquarters is planning to let you, the sharpshooter, go out in person?"

"Your guess is just a guess, I didn't say anything! But your confidentiality level is here, just know it! However, before I take action, the head of the headquarters wants you to try it first! This time, I hope you can give us a surprise!" Director Zhao said.

"Well, then I'll try! After I'm done here, you can all rest assured. Because I will turn the Yamazaki Battalion into cannon fodder!" Li Yuexuan answered confidently.

"Good boy, you are ambitious! Let's go. This time you follow the independent regiment. Li Yunlong has finally seized the main attacking power and is holding a meeting with his regiment headquarters!" Director Zhao said.

"The independent regiment has gone up? Then what about the casualties of our team?" Li Yuexuan asked with concern.

"The situation is very bad, with nearly a thousand casualties! After two months of continuous fighting, many companies of our main regiment are not fully staffed, and the ammunition has been almost consumed! Although there have been some replenishments, it will take time to recover! As a result..." Director Zhao did not continue, because the situation was indeed not optimistic.

However, upon hearing about the casualties, Li Yuexuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief. After all, there were only nearly a thousand casualties, which was far fewer than what was recorded in his data!
