Anti-Japanese War: I have unlimited assistance

Chapter 154 Kill three birds with one stone!
Kong Jie's eyes widened. The Japanese army train must be transporting military equipment and raw materials from the Taiyuan Arsenal.

The weapons and ammunition provided by Boss Lin are very powerful and in large quantities, which can solve major problems for the troops.

In the last surprise attack on Taigu, the Japanese field gas team was completely wiped out and 28 Japanese tanks were destroyed. Li Yunlong also handed over a large number of weapons and ammunition, including tens of thousands of mortar shells and hundreds of thousands of bullets.

but.

After all, these weapons and ammunition were given by others. The weapons and ammunition given by Boss Lin will eventually run out. They are like a tree without roots.

If Boss Lin stops cooperating one day or finds someone else to cooperate with, these weapons and ammunition will not last long.

The key issue is that the Eighth Route Army must have its own arsenal and improve its production capacity in order to achieve self-sufficiency and reduce external dependence.

but.

When the Eighth Route Army first arrived, they were extremely poor. It was not easy to build an arsenal, let alone an ordnance repair shop.

Fortunately, Boss Lin provided a smokeless gunpowder production line last time, which solved the army's gunpowder production difficulties. Now the headquarters is planning to build an arsenal and try to use smokeless gunpowder to manufacture bombs, grenades and reloaded bullets.

But that’s all. If the army wants to grow and become stronger, it must develop its own military industry and produce its own guns, ammunition, and even cannons.

The Taiyuan Arsenal is the apple of Yan Laoxi's eye. There are many good things in it, and even the Japanese are planning to transport the good things away.

When Kong Jie heard Li Yunlong say that they wanted to rob the Japanese military trains transporting military equipment and raw materials, he was ecstatic.

Producing guns, ammunition and cannons from scratch is bound to be a difficult and long road.

However, having already completed the 25,000-mile Long March, the Eighth Route Army, including Kong Jie, had never been afraid of difficulties.

But soon Kong Jie thought of a very realistic problem.

"Good stuff is good stuff, but the problem is... how do we transport this batch of military equipment and raw materials?"

Taiyuan Arsenal can produce guns, ammunition and cannons, and there are many good things.

The Eighth Route Army could certainly produce it by pulling the equipment and raw materials back, but it would be difficult to pull them back.

Not to mention whether it was safe on the way back to the base, the Eighth Route Army did not have such a large transportation capacity. After all, the Japanese used trains to transport the goods.

How can we pull back hundreds or thousands of tons of equipment and raw materials?

Li Yunlong said calmly, "We'll take what we can, and blow up what we can't. If we can't get it, the Japanese won't get it either."

Yan Laoxi's defense of Taiyuan was a complete mess.

The Shanxi-Suiyuan Army and the Central Army could not defeat the Japanese, and Taiyuan could not be defended, that was certain.

But you fucking blew up the Taiyuan Arsenal?

And there are weapons and ammunition that can equip more than 100,000 people. You don’t have to give them to the Eighth Route Army, but you fucking blow them up. What will that mean to the Japanese?
Aiding the enemy?
But things have come to this point, there is no point in saying anything.

"It can only be the."

Kong Jie sighed. He really couldn't bear to blow up the military equipment and raw materials he had obtained.

"You're planning to ambush the Japanese army train here in Lubei Village, right? Boss Lin gave me information about when the Japanese army train will arrive."

As Li Yunlong's classmate, Kong Jie knew what the other party was going to do as soon as Li Yunlong raised his butt.

As soon as he arrived at Lubei Village and saw the terrain, he knew that Li Yunlong would definitely ambush the Japanese army train here, and he guessed that the information was provided by Boss Lin, but he did not guess that the Japanese army train contained military equipment and raw materials.

Li Yunlong: "Three days later, around 2: p.m., a squadron of Japanese troops escorted us, along with two armored vehicles."

Kong Jie: "The bazooka can easily deal with the Japanese armored vehicles. This Japanese squadron is not very strong, so it can be easily dealt with. The biggest threat to us is the Japanese aircraft."

Li Yunlong nodded. If the Japanese army train carrying military equipment and raw materials was successfully robbed by the Eighth Route Army, then...

The Japanese will definitely send out fighter planes and bombers to blow up military equipment and raw materials.

The devils and Li Yunlong must have the same idea: what I can't get, the other party can't get either!
Li Yunlong smiled sinisterly: "I'm afraid the Japanese planes won't come."

Li Yunlong's machine gun company had initially formed combat effectiveness, but the Japanese reconnaissance planes were too alert. He set up traps in the base area, and the Japanese reconnaissance planes were not fooled at all.

"The Japanese fighters and bombers will definitely dive to drop bombs and strafe. When the Japanese planes lower their altitude and complete their dive, that will be the easiest time to shoot them down."

In addition to "How Special Forces Are Trained", Li Yunlong is also well versed in "How to Shoot Down Planes".

The last time he received the goods, Boss Lin gave him military textbooks such as "Militia Training Manual", "Deep Campaign Theory", "Introduction to Military Strategy", "Introduction to the Art of War" and "The Art of War". These were all obtained by Li Yunlong for free while drinking.

"Sure, Li Yunlong."

Kong Jie praised:

"You kid even learned how to masturbate, not bad."

"Hey hey hey..."

Li Yunlong took the kettle and poured some water into his mouth, grinning:
"Not only can I shoot down planes, I can also shoot down tanks. I'm also good at large-scale deep-depth operations, rapid assaults by armored clusters, and beach landings. If there's anything you don't understand, you can always ask your brother."

"Ah!"

This bastard, he dared to open a dyeing factory just because he was given a little color. You know so much, why didn’t you become the commander-in-chief of the Eighth Route Army?

Not only did Kong Jie not take it seriously, he sneered and asked, "Old Li, tell me the truth, how many 20mm machine guns does your New st Regiment have now?"

"Not much. The bulk of it has been handed over. There aren't many left. Only 32 20mm machine guns."

"32 machine guns..." Kong Jie swallowed his saliva immediately. This bastard, 32 20mm machine guns are not enough?

Only after the Pingxingguan victory did Chiang Kai-shek give the Eighth Route Army six 6mm machine guns, with each division receiving two.

This guy is so good that his entire regiment is equipped with 32 20mm machine guns. He is so rich.

But soon, Kong Jie's eyes lit up.

“加上我们独立团的4门20毫米机关炮，那一共就是36门20毫米机关炮，再加上100多挺机枪…”

"If we don't shoot down a few Japanese planes, we'll be wasting the weapons Boss Lin gave us."

Li Yunlong nodded, his eyes immediately filled with anticipation.

"Captain, everything has been checked out."

At this moment, Xiong Shanglin came over quickly with a gleam in his eyes and reported:

"The Japanese Kuroshima Cavalry Regiment was dispersed in squadrons across five stations between Yangquan and Jingxing County. The Kuroshima Cavalry Regiment's headquarters was located at Niangzi Pass."

The main force of the Japanese army left Yangquan. In order to ensure the smooth flow of the Zhengtai Road, the Heidao Cavalry Regiment was sent to the Zhengtai Road to be responsible for the logistics supply line.

Cavalry has strong mobility. Once the Eighth Route Army attacks key locations such as military trains or railway bridges, the Japanese cavalry can quickly arrive and destroy or drive away the Eighth Route Army.

Captain Li was delighted. "Great! The Black Island Cavalry Regiment is here too! It really came without any effort."

Japanese army columns, Japanese planes and Japanese cavalry...

In this battle, Li Yunlong planned to kill three birds with one stone.
