Anti-Japanese War: I have unlimited assistance

Chapter 473 This business is very challenging!
Time flies, and a month goes by in a flash.

In the past month, Li Yunlong has been very busy, but he has reaped a lot of rewards and achieved remarkable results.

First, we completed the work of receiving the goods that had severely damaged the 14th Division last time.

A large amount of weapons and ammunition, including 1000 tons of grain, 6 tons of fuel, dozens of tanks, hundreds of large trucks, more than 1300 military horses, and items consumed and reimbursed in the last battle, were successfully stored.

Secondly, the entire new regiment's equipment replacement work was completed, and all previous Mauser rifles and other equipment were recovered.

All the infantrymen of the new regiment were equipped with new Type 56 semi-automatic rifles and Type 56 light machine guns.

At the same time, the new regiment's reserves of bullets, grenades, and artillery shells also reached a new high.

Finally, the recruitment and expansion of the new regiment was completed.

In front of the square table, Zhang Dabiao held a folder in his hand, his body straight.
"Reporting to the regiment commander, our new regiment currently has 10 main infantry battalions, 3 tank battalions, 3 cavalry battalions, 3 anti-aircraft battalions, 2 motorized battalions, 1 75mm mountain artillery battalion, 2 105mm howitzer battalions, 1 120mm heavy mortar battalion, and 1 152mm howitzer battalion..."

"Each main infantry battalion has a strength of 2500 men."

"It has six infantry companies, two machine gun companies, one mountain artillery company, one mortar company, one machine gun company, and one logistics support company."

“每个坦克营1200人，下辖30多辆坦克、20辆吉普车、200辆大卡车和800人的步兵。”

"..."

"In terms of ammunition reserves, there are over 2800 million rounds of bullets, over 50 artillery shells, over 100 million grenades, and over 1000 tons of explosives."

Listening to Zhang Dabiao reading out one by one, Li Yunlong's smile was harder than five or six.

During the ten years he spent in the Red Fourth Front Army, Li Yunlong never dreamed that he would one day become so rich.

After Zhang Dabiao finished reading, Li Yunlong nodded with satisfaction, and then said: "Our ammunition reserves are still too low, we have to keep working hard."

"That's right, Commander!" Zhang Dabiao nodded. "Originally, each mountain artillery company under our main infantry battalion was equipped with four 4mm mountain guns, but due to a shortage of mountain guns, each mountain artillery company is only equipped with four."

Although a standard mountain artillery company consists of 4 mountain cannons.

But the mountain artillery companies of the new regiment all had 12 mountain cannons, and a mountain artillery company with 8 mountain cannons was considered very small in the new regiment.

An elite infantry regiment of the Japanese only had four 4mm mountain cannons.

Li Yunlong: "I've thought about it carefully. The remaining four mountain guns in each main infantry battalion will be replaced with four 4mm heavy mortars."

"Captain, I think this is a good idea."

Zhang Dabiao's eyes lit up, his face full of admiration. "Although the 120mm heavy mortar's range and accuracy are not as good as the 75mm mountain gun, it is much lighter than the 75mm mountain gun, but its power is several times that of the 75mm mountain gun. It is very effective in suppressing artillery fire at the battalion and regiment levels in battle."

"However, if all ten main infantry battalions are equipped with four 10mm heavy mortars, we will need another 4 120mm heavy mortars, and we won't have enough artillery."

"Can you please buy 80 120mm heavy mortars on credit from Boss Lin, and get some more artillery from headquarters?"

"You're overthinking it," Li Yunlong said unhappily. "Boss Lin isn't a philanthropist. How could he possibly offer 80 120mm heavy mortars on credit? Let's just leave it at that for now. I'll earn more 120mm heavy mortars later when I have the chance."

At this moment, the shrill and rapid air defense alarm sounded, and Li Yunlong, Zhang Dabiao and other regimental staff quickly entered the air-raid shelter.

Not long after entering the air-raid shelter, dense sounds of 20mm and 40mm machine guns were heard.

In addition, there were the shrieking sounds of diving Japanese planes, the shrieking sounds of aerial bombs breaking through the air, and the explosion sounds of aerial bombs falling to the ground.

"Boom boom boom!!"

A huge shock wave from the explosion was heard, the lights in the air-raid shelter shook, and dirt and sand fell to the ground.

Not long after, the Japanese plane left, and a staff officer quickly ran over to report:
"The industrial zone was bombed by three Japanese planes, destroying the newly built steel plant. More than a dozen construction workers were killed and dozens more were injured."

Li Yunlong narrowed his eyes and asked, "How many times has this happened?"

"Commander, this is the twelfth time," Zhang Dabiao replied. "The Japs only send three planes each time, either bombing our fortifications or our roads. Today they bombed our factory. The Japs are playing guerrilla warfare with us."

Where there was no anti-aircraft firepower, the Japanese would dive at low altitude and drop bombs.

Wherever there was anti-aircraft firepower, the Japanese pilots dropped bombs at high altitudes.

In particular, the Japanese pilots would fly over from time to time and drop a few bombs on the industrial area you were building.

Although it was not very accurate, the Japanese pilots only dropped a few aerial bombs at high altitude each time, but it was very disgusting.

Just like mosquitoes and flies, they keep buzzing in your ears and harassing you.

The damage was not great, but it threatened the speed of the Eighth Route Army's factory construction.

Moreover, the Japanese planes were lucky this time, and the aerial bombs hit the newly repaired factory building of the New 1st Regiment.

The tunnel digging work was carried out underground in the county towns, so it had no impact on the tunnel operations.

At present, tunnel operations are being carried out in the counties controlled by the Eighth Route Army in the Northwest Shanxi base area.

"Judging from the situation, the Japanese air force should have been replenished," Zhang Dabiao analyzed. "During the recent guerrilla air raids by the Japanese pilots, our New 120st Regiment and the civilian population have suffered over casualties."

During this period, the Japanese reconnaissance planes and bombers frequently flew in and out of the sky above the base in northwestern Shanxi, but the Japanese planes only dared to circle at high altitudes.

The Japanese had even discovered the Dagu Town Airport, but did not dare to dive down and bomb it.

A few days ago, a Japanese plane was shot down. The Japanese pilot was very skilled and brave. He dived towards the city wall out of despair and was shot down at medium and low altitude by the crossfire of four quadruple 4mm anti-aircraft guns.

The Japanese pilot became a dead pilot in an instant.

Moreover, the Japanese pilots were obviously severely warned that the anti-aircraft battalion had launched a fishing plan, but the Japanese pilots did not take the bait.

Li Yunlong narrowed his eyes upon hearing this, and said with the tone and expression of an expert: "It seems that old devil Shinozuka Yoshio has not been defeated by us yet. It's time for me to teach him a lesson."

"Captain." Zhang Dabiao's expression changed. "What are you going to do?"

Just then, the phone rang and Zhang Dabiao walked over quickly and picked it up.

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Dabiao reported to Li Yunlong with a smile: "Captain, it's the call from the checkpoint. Boss Lin is here."

"Oh?" Li Yunlong's eyes lit up. "Let's go to the north gate to welcome Mr. Lin."

"Yes."

Zhang Dabiao quickly arranged a jeep and rushed to the north gate in the jeep.

Soon, Li Yunlong met Lin Feng and his four strong bodyguards at the north city gate.

The members of the Blade Commando who were carrying out an armed cross-country race happened to pass by the north city gate. They looked at the four strong bodyguards with fear in their eyes.

"Brother Li, I recently heard some rumors that the Japanese army is mobilizing heavy troops and preparing to attack the Eighth Route Army base in northwest Shanxi."

As soon as they met, Lin Feng reminded him with a serious expression.

Looking at Lin Feng's expression, Li Yunlong felt a little solemn. He had never seen Boss Lin with such a solemn expression on his face.

It seems that the Japanese attack this time is unprecedented in strength.

"As expected." Li Yunlong asked casually as he invited Boss Lin to get in the car, "Brother Lin, can you get the detailed offensive plan of the Japanese army?"

Why was the New 1st Regiment able to win so many battles?

In addition to being equipped with powerful weapons and ammunition, it is also inseparable from the intelligence provided by Boss Lin.

Boss Lin has planted high-level spies in the North China Front Army Headquarters and the First Army Headquarters. In the eyes of Li Yunlong, Zhao Gang and others, this is almost a confirmed fact.

Even the underground party of the Eighth Route Army could not obtain such top-secret information.

If we could have known the Japanese offensive plan in advance, this battle would have been much easier to fight.

"Things have changed this time."

"The Japanese have changed their tactics and are not planning to formulate battle plans or emergency plans."

Lin Feng shook his head and said.

"If we don't formulate battle plans and emergency plans, how can the Japanese fight?"

Zhang Dabiao was a little dumbfounded.

As the chief of staff, Zhang Dabiao knew very well that small-scale battles might not require plans, but large-scale battles must have combat plans and emergency plans, otherwise chaos would easily occur. The larger the scale of the battle, the more detailed the combat plans and emergency plans would be.

This time, the Japanese probably dispatched 10 troops. Without a combat plan and emergency plan, what do they plan to do?
Lin Feng explained: "It's not that the Japanese didn't formulate a combat plan and emergency plan this time, but their plans and plans are all in the minds of the Japanese commanders. There are no written documents, so my intelligence personnel can't access the Japanese plans and plans."

Zhang Dabiao yelled something in Japanese: "Saw Desler!"

"If the enemy comes, we will fight them; if the water comes, we will block it with earth." Li Yunlong was not at all panicked, and his tone was full of indomitable ruthlessness. "If the enemy doesn't have a plan, why don't we fight? Regardless of whether there is a plan or not, our New 1st Regiment will beat this son of a bitch!"

Lin Feng nodded and said with satisfaction: "This time I came here, in addition to informing you of this situation, I also brought a business. This business is very challenging."
