Anti-Japanese War: I have unlimited assistance

Chapter 389 is a heart-pounding feeling!

In addition to the three jeeps, there were three large trucks at the rear.

Except for one of the large trucks, the other two were loaded with soldiers from the New 1st Regiment armed with live ammunition and anti-aircraft artillery ammunition.

A heavy machine gun was mounted on the roof of each large truck.

At the rear of the trucks, each was pulling a twin 40mm anti-aircraft gun.

After seeing this scene, Chu Yunfei, Fang Ligong, Sun Ming and others basically believed what the soldiers said.

"boarding!"

Suppressing the shock in his heart, Chu Yunfei waved his hand and walked towards a jeep.

Fang Ligong and Chu Yunfei sat in the back seat of the second jeep, while Sun Ming sat in the passenger seat, looking at the large-caliber heavy machine gun on the jeep with interest.

This huge caliber, comparable to the thickness of a thumb, bullet is obviously a high-powered weapon.

The guard squad under Sun Ming also jumped onto a large truck. The first jeep started quickly, and the two jeeps and three large trucks behind it quickly followed, heading towards Ping'an County.

"The springs and shock absorbers are much better than those on American jeeps."

Chu Yunfei sat in the back seat of the jeep, feeling the comfort brought by the jeep and the seats, and the shock on his face became more and more intense.

It's not like he hasn't ridden in an American jeep before, but those American jeeps can make you vomit out your lunch.

But on the same bad road, the chassis of this Jeep can filter out most of the bumps and potholes.

"Regimental chair, this chair is actually made of real leather."

Fang Ligong also discovered some differences between the seats in the Japanese trucks and those in the Japanese trucks.

He whispered to Chu Yunfei, "I'm just confused. Haven't the Japs been blocking the Eighth Route Army? Where did they get these top-notch weapons and luxury cars?"

"That's really strange."

Chu Yunfei nodded in agreement.

"Brother, where did you get all these weapons, equipment, and vehicles from?"

So, the curious Fang Ligong asked the soldier who was driving the jeep.

"Sorry, no comment."

The soldiers driving the jeeps were straightforward.

Chu Yunfei winked at Fang Ligong, who immediately understood and pulled out a pocket watch with a gold chain from his pocket and handed it forward. "Don't misunderstand, brother. Our regimental commander is a good friend of your commander, Li Yunlong. We don't have any other intentions. We just want to get a general understanding."

The driver quickly took the pocket watch and put it in his pocket. "So he's a friend of our regiment commander. He's one of us. I can tell you where these weapons, equipment, and vehicles came from, but you absolutely cannot reveal it to anyone else."

Fang Ligong immediately said, "Don't worry, we will never reveal a single word to the outside world."

"Okay then." The driver nodded. "These weapons, equipment, and vehicles all grew out of the ground. Don't tell anyone."

"you…"

Upon hearing this, Fang Ligong immediately realized that he had been tricked and was about to explode when Chu Yunfei stopped him.

This is the territory of the New 1st Regiment. There are several heavy machine guns pointing at them from behind. Aren’t they afraid of being shot into sieves?

At this moment, a buzzing sound was heard in the sky. Chu Yunfei, Fang Ligong and Sun Ming looked up hurriedly and saw two Japanese planes flying towards them.

"Da da da…"

Seeing this, the Eighth Route Army soldiers in the other two jeeps and the large truck picked up their large-caliber heavy machine guns and started firing at the Japanese planes.

Belts of bullets were fired in the direction where the Japanese planes were coming from, making them afraid to get close.

Chu Yunfei and Fang Ligong switched positions. He set up the large-caliber heavy machine gun on the jeep and pressed the lever at the Japanese reconnaissance plane in the sky.

"Da da da…"

A belt of ammunition flew towards the Japanese plane.

In the end, the Japanese planes did not dare to dive down to drop bombs and strafe, obviously because they were afraid of the 40mm anti-aircraft gun behind the car.

"This heavy machine gun is really powerful."

"Brother, what is the caliber of this heavy machine gun?"

After watching the Japanese planes being driven away by several heavy machine guns, Chu Yunfei sat back in the back seat with a sense of unsatisfied satisfaction.

"12.7 millimeters."

The pilot warrior replied.

Chu Yunfei and Sun Ming looked at the big thing behind the jeep. If the 12.7mm is so powerful, how powerful would a 40mm anti-aircraft gun be?

Dagu Town is about 20 kilometers away from Ping'an County, and the convoy will reach the county in just half an hour.

"Commander, look over there, that's the Eighth Route Army barracks." While Chu Yunfei was thinking, Sun Ming's exclamation sounded in his ears.

Chu Yunfei looked up and followed the direction of Sun Ming's finger. He saw a large group of tents outside Ping'an County. The tents were surrounded by Eighth Route Army soldiers. It was obviously the barracks of the New 1st Regiment.

It was obviously not these that made Sun Ming exclaim. Chu Yunfei raised his telescope and looked. Under the camouflage nets were light and heavy machine guns, mortars, jeeps, large trucks and cannons.

Judging from the scale of the Eighth Route Army outside the city, Chu Yunfei alone saw at least one artillery regiment and one infantry brigade.

"Li Yunlong placed these troops and weapons and ammunition outside the city. Isn't he afraid of being bombed by Japanese planes?" Sun Ming said in surprise.

Fang Ligong also looked puzzled. According to common sense, Li Yunlong would not make such a common-sense mistake. A Japanese bomber squadron could cause heavy damage to this infantry brigade and artillery regiment.

Chu Yunfei: "Li Yunlong is not stupid. Look at what's on the city wall?"

Fang Ligong: "Is that... a quadruple anti-aircraft gun?"

Sun Ming: "In addition to quadruple anti-aircraft guns, there are also twin anti-aircraft guns, a large number of 20mm anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns!"

Fang Ligong was shocked: "Isn't Li Yunlong too rich?"

Sun Ming thought, is this the strength of the New 1st Regiment of the Eighth Route Army?

Chu Yunfei, Sun Ming and Fang Ligong were really shocked today. Coming to the New 1st Regiment was like being a country bumpkin entering the city. They usually called the Eighth Route Army "Tubalu".

There is nothing wrong with this name, but it is not the "tu" of the country bumpkin, but the "tu" of the rich.

Compared to this, their Jinsui Army looks like a bunch of country bumpkins, the Tu Jin Army.

Not long after, Chu Yunfei, Fang Ligong and Sun Ming met Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang in the reception room of the New 1st Regiment.

The two sides saluted each other.

Chu Yunfei clasped his fists and said, "Brother Yunlong, how are you?"

"Boss Chu, congratulations on your prosperity!"

Li Yunlong smiled and cupped his hands, then said:
"Let's use tea instead of wine. Brother Chu, drink this cup first."

Chu Yunfei said, "Thanks to Brother Yunlong for his kindness, I dare not obey your order. This tea made with boiling water will burn my throat."

After a pause, Chu Yunfei said jealously, "I haven't seen you for a few months. Brother Yunlong's troops are even better than before. They have become the most powerful local tyrant in the Second War Zone."

His 358th Regiment was ranked as an ace regiment in the entire Second War Zone and even in the entire combat sequence of the National Army.

But compared with the New 358st Regiment, there is no way to compare with it. The gap is so huge, as if the other party is a modern army, while the th Regiment is like an ancient army with swords and spears.

Chu Yunfei knew very well that if the 358th Regiment and the New 358st Regiment clashed now, the other side would be able to wipe out the th Regiment within a few hours.

It is impossible to say that Chu Yunfei does not envy Li Yunlong.

Li Yunlong laughed and said, "What kind of local tyrant? To be honest, Brother Chu, our New 1st Regiment is so poor that we're practically begging for food. What's the point of having good weapons and equipment? Filling our stomachs is the most important thing."

"Brother Yunlong, if you have any difficulties, just ask me. I will take care of the food and wages." Chu Yunfei said sincerely, "But, brother, I am short of cannons. How about giving me a few American 105mm howitzers?"

He could naturally see that all the soldiers of the new regiment had shiny faces and well-trained muscles in their arms and legs. They did not look like they were short of food. These were soldiers who had been trained with a diet that was rich in oil and water and had a reasonable nutritional balance.

However, Li Yunlong pretended to complain, so he took advantage of the situation and tested Li Yunlong.

Li Yunlong chuckled, "Brother Chu, I appreciate your kindness. The Eighth Route Army can survive without help from others. It's better to rely on ourselves than on heaven or earth. If we don't have food and money, I will take it from the devils. Why should the devils come to our Chinese land to enjoy the good life? As the saying goes, the enemy stores food, and I store guns. The enemy is my granary."

Chu Yunfei praised: "A true man stands tall and upright. I admire you."

"Brother Chu, you came here today not just to bring food to our brothers, right?" Li Yunlong asked. His battle plan was almost complete, but he didn't have much time to chat and laugh with Chu Yunfei.

After a pause, Chu Yunfei got straight to the point and said, "Brother Yunlong, I received intelligence today that the Japanese army is planning to gather a large force to attack northwest Shanxi. How do you plan to resist the Japanese attack?"

Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang exchanged a glance, feigning surprise. "Really? Aren't the Japanese troops heading for Wei Lihuang's Central Army in Zhongtiao Mountain?"

Chu Yunfei said, "Brother Yunlong, please stop kidding me. You and Political Commissar Zhao both know that the Japanese army's real target is your New 1st Regiment."

Zhao Gang asked, "What's the purpose of Captain Chu coming here today?"

Chu Yunfei said, "As the saying goes, if the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold. If the Japanese army attacks your base, our 358th Regiment will inevitably be implicated. Therefore, my 358th Regiment will join forces with yours. After the victory, the victory and the honor will belong to you. You will eat all the meat. Can you give me some soup when the time comes?"

Li Yunlong asked, "What do you want?"

"After this is done, I want a battalion of American 105mm howitzers." Chu Yunfei smiled sheepishly. "To be honest with Brother Yunlong and Brother Zhao, I particularly like American equipment. If you agree to this, I will be very grateful."

The 358th Regiment has not yet been equipped with American-style howitzers. Chu Yunfei, like Li Yunlong in the Huaihai Campaign in the original drama, can't even walk when he sees the American-style howitzers.

"Who doesn't like American howitzers? They're like beauties. But Brother Chu, this landlord doesn't have any surplus food."

Li Yunlong took a sip of tea calmly and glanced at Fang Ligong:
"If Brother Chu can lead the 358th Regiment to join my New st Regiment, I can get you not only an American howitzer battalion, but also an American howitzer brigade and an American howitzer division."

"Can you get an American howitzer division?" Chu Yunfei's throat rolled, and he was immediately very interested.

Then Chu Yunfei's heart was alarmed. Oh no, this seemed like a heart-beating feeling!
