Anti-Japanese War: I have unlimited assistance

Chapter 183 It smells so good!

In addition to the two 12.7 caliber Desert Eagles, the bodyguard's two leather holsters were also given to Zhang Dabiao.

Li Yunlong looked at the Desert Eagle in Zhang Dabiao's hand with envy.

Although he wanted it very much, he still held back and planned to hit Zhang Dabiao after he received the goods.

A pistol only improves the combat effectiveness of an individual soldier, but the weapons and ammunition behind Boss Lin can improve the combat effectiveness of the entire New 1st Regiment and even the Eighth Route Army.

"Brother Lin, are these the weapons and ammunition for this cooperation?"

Li Yunlong looked at the big mules behind Lin Feng and the carts full of ammunition boxes with a burning gaze.

Judging from the number of mules alone, there must be a lot of weapons and ammunition.

"That's right!"

Lin Feng nodded and took out a list:
"Brother Yunlong, I have verified the kill data you sent me and confirmed it is correct. This is the list of this cooperation."

In order to avoid the trouble of making an extra trip, Lin Feng directly asked Li Yunlong to list the number of enemies killed in the telegram.

Anyway, he has his own system. Since the system was bound to his employer Li Yunlong, he can see the number of Japanese killed or wounded in every battle commanded by the troops. The kill and wound data provided by Li Yunlong each time is almost the same as what the system shows.

This proves that Li Yunlong is an honest businessman and did not take advantage of others in this regard.

In this business cooperation on Zhengtai Road, Lin Feng only asked Li Yunlong to rob the Japanese military train.

After the success, not only the Eighth Route Army can obtain a batch of equipment and raw materials.

Lin Feng will also provide some weapons and ammunition production lines and raw materials.

But Lin Feng didn't expect that Li Yunlong would take advantage of the situation and not only briefly recapture Yangquan, but also kill the old Japanese soldier Takagi Yoshito.

Lin Feng could only say that this kid Li Yunlong was indeed something!
The well-equipped Eighth Route Army is indeed very powerful.

But the equipment is not good enough and the combat effectiveness is not strong enough.

Although the 20th Division also belongs to the sequence of Type A divisions.

However, the combat effectiveness of the 20th Division is at the bottom among the Type A divisions.

If the Japanese troops defending Yangquan were from the 5th Division, it would probably not be so easy for Li Yunlong's New st Regiment to capture Yangquan City.

Since the cooperation agreement was reached and Li Yunlong had achieved such great results, Lin Feng naturally had to pay Li Yunlong the corresponding weapons and ammunition.

The price of this cooperation naturally exceeded Li Yunlong's expectations.

Li Yunlong took the list and looked at Qingdan's eyes, which lit up slightly. Then a smile appeared on his face at a speed visible to the naked eye.

All I saw on the list was:

"500 Mauser rifles and 7.92 rounds of 15 ammunition."

"24 general-purpose machine guns, 7.92 rounds of 24mm ammunition."

"320 PPSh submachine guns and 7.62 rounds of 32mm ammunition."

"2 Mark II grenades and 3 S mines."

"60 Oerlikon machine guns, 20 rounds of 3mm ammunition."

"30 flamethrowers."

"A complete production line with a monthly output of 50 60mm mortars."

"A complete production line with a monthly output of 150 grenade launchers."

"100 tons of grain."

"Five steam generators."

"Some raw materials."

After reading the list, the smile on Li Yunlong's face had turned into a chrysanthemum.

He knew very well that this was probably not all the weapons and ammunition.

Sure enough, Li Yunlong heard Lin Feng's explanation:

"This is the price for destroying the headquarters of the 39th Japanese Brigade and killing its commander. The price for killing 2000 Japanese soldiers is another price."

"The price is the same as before. Killing a Type A Division enemy can be exchanged for 2000 rounds of ammunition or two rifles and 2 rounds of ammunition."

"Killing an average division of devils can be exchanged for 1000 rounds of ammunition or a rifle and 1 rounds of ammunition."

"In this operation, you killed one lieutenant colonel and four majors, and obtained 1 4mm machine guns."

"100 tons of grain, a 60mm mortar production line, and a flamethrower were the price of killing Takagi Yoshito. The grenade launcher production line was the price of robbing the Japanese army train."

Suddenly, Li Yunlong's expression changed and he asked, "What about the grenade launcher and 60mm shells?"

If there are only cannons but no shells, what is the difference between the cannons produced and scrap metal?
"Brother Yunlong, look at the key point. This is a complete production line." Lin Feng pointed at the data on the list and said, "Of course, it also includes the equipment for producing artillery and artillery shells, some raw materials and technical information."

"Haha..." Li Yunlong burst into laughter, "Thank you very much, Brother Lin."

The Japanese grenade launchers are good things. In the hands of Japanese grenade throwers, they can hit whatever they point at, but it depends a lot on the grenade thrower's experience.

If there are enough grenades, the Eighth Route Army's grenade throwers can also hit wherever they point, just like the Japanese grenade throwers.

The 60mm mortar is also a real asset. Its shells are much more powerful than grenades, making it ideal for company-level artillery support. If you consider 60 50mm mortars, you can form a light mortar regiment.

Then the Eighth Route Army could produce enough mortars to equip 12 light mortar regiments in one year.

Really fragrant!

Of course, the production of mortars requires high-quality artillery steel, and the Eighth Route Army currently does not have such good artillery steel.

Fortunately, the production line provided by Boss Lin has steelmaking equipment and also provides some raw materials for cannon steel. However, the problem of cannon steel still needs to be solved in the future before the full production capacity of the production line can be brought into play.

Lin Feng asked, "This time you killed 1300 Japanese soldiers from the Type A Division and 700 ordinary Japanese soldiers. How many rifles and bullets will you get in exchange?"

The Type A division troops destroyed included the Ishihara Battalion of the 39th Brigade of the Japanese Army, the Guard Company, the Brigade Headquarters and medical personnel, and about 1300 of them were wiped out. Half of the Ishihara Battalion was first killed by the New st Regiment in the field, and then all of them suffered casualties in the siege.

The Japanese guard squadron, brigade headquarters and medical personnel launched a sudden charge outside the west city gate and were killed.

The ordinary Japanese troops killed mainly included 200 devils protecting the military train, as well as the devil cavalry defending the station and patrolling the railway, and the devil infantry defending the station, totaling about 500 people, who were defeated one by one by the New st Regiment and the Independent Regiment.

The more than 500 casualties of the New st Regiment were mainly caused during the siege and street fighting.

“我要2000支三八式步枪和190万发子弹。”李云龙迅速确定了数目，用1000个甲种师团的鬼子额度换2000支步枪和60万发子弹；用300个甲种师团的鬼子额度，和700个普通鬼子的额度，换130万发子弹。

The troops are currently recruiting soldiers, and Li Yunlong plans to hand over this batch of weapons and ammunition.

The spoils of the attack on Yangquan included several hundred Type 38 rifles, dozens of light and heavy machine guns, as well as some grenade launchers and artillery pieces.

After distributing part of these weapons and ammunition to the independent regiment, Li Yunlong planned to hand them all over. There would be no problem for the division headquarters to use this batch of weapons and ammunition to expand three main Japanese-equipped regiments. There would still be a large surplus of ammunition to support brother units in other military regions.

When submitting it, you can take the opportunity to ask for some benefits from your superiors.

"Okay!" Lin Feng nodded. "Weapons and ammunition will be delivered to you in two days."

"Next, the Japanese army will inevitably transport the better military equipment and raw materials from the Taiyuan Arsenal to Manchuria and mainland Japan."

"I can get detailed information. What are Brother Yunlong's plans?"

Before the July 1937 Incident in 7000, Yan Laoxi's Taiyuan Arsenal had more than employees. After the Japanese army invaded Shanxi, they frequently bombed the factory, making it impossible for the factory to produce.

So Yan Laoxi wanted to transport the factory equipment to the rear areas such as Sichuan and Shaanxi, but until the Japanese army occupied Taiyuan on November 11, they only transported more than 8 small machine tools, more than 1000 power motors, and 200 tons of raw materials.

The equipment and raw materials taken away only accounted for 18% of the total assets of the 2 branches of the Northwest Manufacturing Plant, and the rest of the equipment fell into the hands of the Japanese.

This shows how huge the amount of equipment and raw materials from the Taiyuan Arsenal fell into the hands of the Japanese.

"If Brother Lin can get the information, I'll build this road and plant these trees. If you want to pass through here, you have to pay me money."

"Rob the bastard."

Zhang Dabiao, who was standing aside, raised the corners of his mouth. He liked the captain's style of loving to make money.

The relationship between military equipment and raw materials is like that between chickens that lay eggs and the food they eat.

By robbing these equipment and raw materials, we can produce weapons and ammunition continuously after the construction and production are completed.

Lin Feng asked, "If the devils transported the goods from the Beitongpu Railway, through Datong and along the Pingsui Railway to Beiping, it would be difficult to rob them."

Li Yunlong said: "This is easy."

"When the time comes, I will apply to the head of the headquarters to move the New 1st Regiment's base to the west of Meng County and north of Shouyang County."

"This way, whether the Japanese are transporting equipment and raw materials from the Beitongpu Railway or the Zhengtai Railway, our New 1st Regiment can rob them."

"The only problem is that even if our regiment succeeds in robbing the Japanese army train, it will be difficult to transport the equipment and raw materials back to southeastern Shanxi."

"This time, we were lucky because the main force of the Japanese was not in eastern Shanxi, so we were able to transport the equipment and raw materials back to southeastern Shanxi."

The equipment and raw materials that the Japanese needed to transport by military trains had a total weight of at least several hundred tons, and even up to a thousand tons.

The Eighth Route Army had no trucks or trains and relied entirely on large mules and pack horses for transportation, so it must have been a huge transport team.

Such a large transport team would easily be targeted by Japanese planes and ground troops, and all efforts would be in vain.

The problem of the base area was not a problem for the New 1st Regiment.

At present, the New 1st Regiment is being targeted by the Japanese, and its location will inevitably change frequently in the future. Not only the New Regiment, but also the headquarters, division headquarters and brigade headquarters will have to change their locations frequently. Otherwise, once the location is leaked, the Japanese only need to send air force units to bomb and carry out a wave of decapitation operations.

Lin Feng thought for a moment: "The transportation of equipment and raw materials is indeed a big problem, but it is not unsolvable..."

"Oh?" Li Yunlong asked hurriedly, "Brother Lin, do you have a solution?"

Lin Feng said slowly, "I can send a helicopter to transport the equipment and raw materials directly to southeastern Shanxi from the place where your New First Regiment robbed the Japanese army column."

"But there's no such thing as a free lunch. You need to kill enough enemies to redeem them. If you kill 200 Type A Division enemies or 400 regular troops, you can send a helicopter to airlift equipment and raw materials."

"In addition, for every successful robbery, I will also give you a weapons and ammunition production line."

"Then it's settled!"

A flash of light like lightning suddenly flashed in Li Yunlong's eyes, and he agreed without hesitation.

With intelligence and air transport, perhaps all the equipment and raw materials of the Taiyuan Arsenal that fell into the hands of the enemy could be turned into equipment and raw materials for the Eighth Route Army.

It would be great if the Taiyuan Arsenal became the Eighth Route Army's arsenal. The soldiers wouldn't have to worry too much about running out of weapons and ammunition.
