Anti-Japanese War: I have unlimited assistance

Chapter 510 A real big scene!

Just as the battles in northwest Shanxi and Taiyuan were in full swing.

Xing Zhiguo has led nearly 20,000 elite troops from the Jinzhong base area to join forces with the main forces of ten regiments from the Jin-Cha-Ji base area at Wutai Mountain.

These ten regiments in the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei base area were temporarily commanded by Xing Zhiguo.

After the war, Li Yunlong and Xing Zhiguo paid for the weapons and equipment of the two artillery regiments in the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei base area.

At present, Xing Zhiguo has a main force of more than 40,000 people under his command.

The total distance from Jinzhong to Datong this time is more than 300 kilometers.

Therefore, Xing Zhiguo did not carry heavy artillery and tanks with a caliber of 105 mm or above.

Because this time we were taking a mountain road, and it was a long-distance raid, without roads, heavy artillery and tanks with a caliber of 105 mm or above could not maneuver at all.

However, because there were a large number of big mules, the supplies such as bullets, food, and grenades they carried were sufficient.

In addition, Xing Zhiguo brought three Bofors mountain artillery battalions and an anti-aircraft battalion, and this firepower should not be underestimated.

In addition, the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei base area mobilized 9 infantry regiments and 1 mountain artillery regiment.

Since the troops were outside the Jinzhong base area, their large march was likely to be detected by Japanese aircraft.

Therefore, the troops slept during the day and marched at night.

And all stations are to maintain radio silence.

Moreover, when sleeping during the day, whether it is the mule and horse transport team, or the cavalry and infantry, they must do a good job of concealment to avoid being discovered by the Japanese reconnaissance planes.

After a day's rest after a forced march of more than 50 kilometers along the mountain roads last night, the officers and soldiers of the New st Regiment immediately regained their energy.

The Eighth Route Army has always been known as the Iron-Feet Army. Marching 50 kilometers in one night is nothing for them.

The New 1st Regiment is the ace unit of the Eighth Route Army. The food in the New 1st Regiment is very good now. Even ordinary soldiers have at least one meal of meat every day.

The other two meals were also very rich in oil and water.

The soldiers of the New 1st Regiment who had been in service for more than half a year were basically all strong and sturdy, with sufficient supply of meat and oil, and their physical fitness was not inferior to that of the Japanese army.

Moreover, every time they fight, the soldiers can obtain self-heating canned food, canned fruit, medical kits and other supplies.

After nightfall, the battalions of the New 1st Regiment in the Jinzhong base area and the regiments in the Jin-Cha-Ji base area began to continue their rapid march towards their designated locations.

"The New Group is really rich!"

A commander of the main force of the Jin-Cha-Ji base area came to Xing Zhiguo to determine the next marching route.

I saw the soldiers of the New 1st Regiment running fast on the mountain road with guns on their backs, grenades hanging on their waists, and their bullet bags and dry food bags bulging.

The main leader sighed as he looked at the endless mule cart team.

"Isn't it?" said another core regiment leader. "Although the New 1st Regiment is still organized at the regimental level, its size is estimated to have reached the level of a JTJ."

"Great!"

The leader of the main group let out a long sigh.

Because the Eighth Route Army's Hongyadong Arsenal has now grown in scale, 60mm and 82mm mortars have been mass-produced, and the main force and basic regiments of major bases are equipped with some 60 and 82 caliber mortars.

Even the Jin-Cha-Ji Military Region was equipped with two mountain artillery regiments and several 105mm howitzers, the town's treasure.

Now the average person in the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei base area has 100 rounds of bullets.

This is already many times richer than before.

But it can't be compared with the new group at all.

I don’t envy the mandarin ducks or the immortals, I only envy the soldiers of the new regiment every day.

"what is this?"

"We haven't deployed the 152mm howitzers and tanks yet!"

A passing company commander of the New 1st Regiment said this in a boastful tone.

"Hiss!" "152mm howitzers and tanks?"

The two team leaders gasped on the spot.

The two then found Xing Zhiguo, confirmed the marching route, and asked about the 152 howitzers and tanks.

This is important!

"What are 152mm howitzers and tanks?"

Xing Zhiguo said with disdain:
"Our goal tonight is to cross Yanmen Pass!"

"After crossing Yanmen Pass, we will march north for another night. By then, we will be only 100 kilometers away from Datong. Then, we will send a signalman to notify your Jin-Cha-Ji Military Region. Your Jin-Cha-Ji Military Region headquarters will send a telegram to the New st Regiment headquarters."

"Northwest Shanxi can launch a counterattack and join us in besieging Datong, directly destroying the enemy's combat supplies in Datong."

"Without their war supplies, what will the Japs use to attack northwest Shanxi?"

"A pincer attack?" The main leader looked at the map and exclaimed again, "Amazing!"

……

Two days later, at the Jiangjunling front.

After completing the tasks of evacuating civilians, mobilizing logistical supplies, and stabilizing the rear, Zhao Gang arrived at the front line of Jiangjunling.

Zhao Gang, Zhang Dabiao, a group of staff officers and the battalion commander sat together and listened to Li Yunlong bragging:
"By the end of next year at the latest, our Eighth Route Army will be equipped with aircraft, and within two years or three years at the latest, we will be equipped with warships!"

"By then, a strategic decisive battle involving hundreds of thousands, or even millions, of men and women will surely rage between our Eighth Route Army and the Japanese Army, determining the future of the entire nation."

"Tank clusters clashed, super-large-caliber heavy artillery bombarded each other, planes in the sky fought like locusts, and densely packed warships bombarded each other on the sea."

"Once we defeat the Japanese army and navy, we will attack the enemy's homeland."

"That's when it will be a real big scene!"

"You can imagine the scene of us leading warships and marines to attack the Japanese port."

"The sky was filled with fighter jets and bombers, and the sea was densely packed with all kinds of warships, including aircraft carriers, cruisers, frigates and all kinds of warships."

"The smallest caliber of a naval gun is 300mm. A single shell could instantly wipe out an entire squadron of Japanese soldiers."

Zhang Dabiao, the staff officers and the battalion commanders immediately showed anticipation.

If others heard what Li Yunlong said, they would definitely think he was bragging, and in fact he was bragging.

but……

As senior officers of the New 1st Regiment, they all knew what Li Yunlong said. Although it couldn't be said that it would be 100% realized in the future, it was highly likely that it could be realized.

Because Boss Lin had leaked rumors about this.

In short, Boss Lin will make all the arrangements for weapons and ammunition for the Eighth Route Army.

Li Yunlong, the New 1st Regiment and the Eighth Route Army just need to do their best to kill the Japanese.

The more Japanese devils you kill, the more weapons and ammunition you will get. The higher the rank of the Japanese officer you kill, the better the weapons you will get.

If we can kill a general, Boss Lin will directly provide us with a plane.

But is it so easy to kill the Japanese general?

There was only one general in the entire North China Front Army, and that was Sugiyama Hajime, the commander of the Japanese North China Front Army. His whereabouts were mysterious, and even Boss Lin found it difficult to obtain information about his whereabouts.

What's more, now that they have killed the Japanese general, even if they are provided with planes, the Eighth Route Army does not have pilots who can fly planes.

"good."

Zhao Gang nodded and praised him.

This kid Li Yunlong now has the vision for a strategic decisive battle.

What always comes to mind is a huge battle between 600,000 and 800,000.
