Show the sword, start from the guerrillas

Chapter 476 Chapter 475, Active Preparation
Everyone knew that the headquarters could not be without garrison troops, so Minister Zhang immediately called the headquarters and requested the mobilization of the special forces to protect the leader.

"Special Operations Team? Those guys are great, they're all great fighters!" The deputy commander-in-chief answered the call himself. He first affirmed the Special Operations Team's capabilities, and then said, "Then let them come over. It just so happens that the commanders at our headquarters also want to meet the Special Operations Team's soldiers and understand and discuss the significance of the Special Operations Team's existence!"

After hanging up the phone, Minister Zhang laughed at Li Yuexuan and said, "The deputy commander-in-chief agreed. I will write an order to mobilize the special forces to the headquarters! Well, they need to have enough ammunition. Each person should bring enough ammunition, plus two additional ammunition bases. Send a car to transport them over. By the way, send the gun barrel blanks over and bring back the finished products!"

The battle is coming, but production still needs to go on! So there are cars responsible for transportation back and forth, and this time they just happened to deliver something along the way.

Because the time is short and winter is coming soon, the waterwheel production base by the Qingzhang River did not add any new waterwheel workshops, but kept the original number. Of course, this does not mean that there is no new investment. For example, the technicians and workers who were originally responsible for hydraulic forging shells are now working on replicating a batch of new equipment at the arsenal.

As for the gun barrels, no new equipment was added because the production capacity of gun barrels was indeed in excess.

"Comrades, according to intelligence, the Japanese intend to launch a surprise attack on our arsenal. The number of troops is unknown, but according to the analysis of the troops mobilized by the Japanese, the number is at least 5000, and the maximum may be around 10000! But we are not afraid of them. The defense of the arsenal is ready, and we are just waiting for the Japanese to come and die! So your mission this time is to go to the headquarters and protect the safety of the headquarters!"

"How will the specific battle be fought? I don't know! Will the Japanese go there, and where will they go? I don't know either! What I know is that no matter what happens, there can't be any mountains at the headquarters! So, Tianchuan, I've brought enough ammunition for you this time. Everyone has at least 500 rounds of bullets to use, 80 rounds of grenade launchers in each group, and 160 rounds of mortar shells!"

"In addition to the conventional ammunition, there are 50 sets of directional mines and 10 grenades per person. These are all ready! So, my request to you is that once you discover the enemy, you should fight as hard as you can without regard for the cost! Raise the alert level to the highest level and arrange defensive measures for all positions where ordinary enemies cannot appear! You can treat yourselves as imaginary enemies and attack the defense positions mainly composed of the independent regiment, and then respond in return!"

"Okay, that's all I have to say! Tianchuan, do a good job, the whole army is watching your performance!" After saying this, Li Yuexuan saluted the special forces members.

"Yes, Captain!" Tianchuan replied, returning the greeting collectively. After the special forces assembled, they followed a car and ran all the way to the headquarters. The truck drove very slowly, and it was loaded with bullets, shells, and grenade launchers, just like an ammunition truck. Of course, there were also gun barrels that needed rifling cuts, and copper plates prepared for shell production, which also occupied a place on the truck.

After seeing off the special forces team, Li Yuexuan walked to the fortifications of Yitiantian, crawled in from the bunker on the east side, then checked from the north to the south, walked from the wooden bridge on the top of the cliff to the fortifications on the west side, and finally crawled out from the north.

The climate in November was already very cold, but the thick stone walls made it not that cold in the bunker or the passage. At least, it was much warmer than being directly exposed to the cold wind.

"Zheng Changfeng, remember, you must train every soldier on the use of gas masks! These gas masks were selected from all the captured troops in the entire army. They were not given to others, but to your battalion and special operations team! So, practice well and don't get poisoned by the poisonous gas!" "Also, remember what's on this drawing..." Li Yuexuan gave Zheng Changfeng a few drawings, which showed the hand-drawn shape of a flamethrower and the image of a Japanese soldier carrying a flamethrower on his back.

"This thing is called a flamethrower. The steel tank at the back contains ignition oil. It can spray flames more than ten meters high. It's the kind that can't be extinguished by patting your hands! So, tell the soldiers, if you encounter such devils, kill them immediately! Remember, they are much more dangerous than grenade launchers and heavy machine guns. Don't let them get close!"

"Captain, don't worry, nothing will go wrong!" Zheng Changfeng took the drawing in his hand and said very solemnly.

"Okay, I've explained what needs to be explained. I see that you've done a very good job in anti-gas work. Every shooting hole, vent, and chute is covered with something. That's very good! So, don't be careless. I don't want our comrades in Defense Zone No. 1 to have a chance to fight!" Li Yuexuan said again.

"I understand!" Zheng Changfeng nodded heavily.

After reading the defense measures, Li Yuexuan went to the factory office to continue checking the information. This time, the chief of staff divided the mountains surrounding the arsenal into six circles as six defense zones, and the factory area in the middle was one defense zone. The No. 6 area that Li Yuexuan mentioned was the location of the factory area, which was guarded by two companies of the Workers' Self-Defense Force and the Special Forces Regiment, and the Heavy Force Company was also here.

The active preparations for war made the entire base tense, and various troops also received orders. Some were fighting blocking battles, and some were gathering towards the headquarters.

For example, on the side of the Independent Regiment, Political Commissar Zhao, who was marching, noticed that a large part of the team was missing, and there was no sign of Li Yunlong, which made him very worried.

"Have you seen the regiment commander? Where is the commander of the first battalion?" Political Commissar Zhao asked many people in the team, but no one could answer where the regiment commander and the first battalion had gone. Even the guards who followed Li Yunlong closest to him did not know where Li Yunlong was. Political Commissar Zhao was so angry that he wanted to curse loudly, but he suppressed it.

The regiment commander is not here, and the first battalion is not here. What does this mean? This means that the regiment commander has deserted with the first battalion and is looking for a fight... What can he do? Even if he wants to write a report to educate Li Yunlong, he has to wait until the battle is over! So, Political Commissar Zhao stood on a stone and shouted loudly: "Comrades, run, and get to the headquarters before dark today! The safety of the headquarters depends on us!"

After that, Political Commissar Zhao took the lead, and a group of people followed, and they ran at a rumbling speed, splashing a large amount of dust on the mountain road...
