Taiyuan, Shanxi, the headquarters of the Japanese army.

A lieutenant general with a command whip reports to a map hanging on the wall.

"Jinnannan Yuan County, Wild Brigade"

"Northwest Jinxi Dukou County, Tianchangyi Brigade"

"Daluo County, southwest of Shanxi, Bozhi Brigade"

“·····”

"From late June to mid-August, a total of nine counties and cities around Shanxi, Hebei and Shandong, nine brigades were ambushed, and all brigades suffered heavy losses, with a cumulative casualty of more than 5,000 casualties, and at the same time lost 17 strongholds"

"The highway from Beiping to Shanxi was completely mastered by the Eighth Route Army"

"The situation in our occupied territories is not optimistic"

The lieutenant general put down the command whip in his hand and said in a serious tone.

Then he took out dozens of photos, and the first layer of photos showed a row of mules and horses, and the mules were immediately piled up with medicine boxes, which were secretly photographed by the Eighth Route Army transport team. The second bag of photos is a photo of the battlefield, and the most eye-catching thing is the mortar crater.

"Just a few guerrillas shoot a few divisions and go to sweep a few circles"

"Hmph, the rear is stationed in some rice bucket divisions, and even a few guerrillas of the Eighth Route Army can't handle it"

"It's a shame for the empire, the Eighth Route Army didn't even have a few guns, and it was actually defeated by them"

“······”

Before he could put the photo on the table, the commanders of many divisions below began to make a big noise, and the contempt in his tone was full of contempt.

"Well, according to intelligence, the Eighth Route Army seems to have obtained a large amount of weapons and equipment, and in terms of light weapon firepower, it even has an advantage over the Imperial Army, and even according to the information sent by the special high-tech spies, the 119th Division has obtained 12 million grenades"

The lieutenant general revealed a little bit of information, which immediately sparked a burst of discussion.

"How is it possible, how can the Republic of China industry be stronger than the firepower of the imperial army?"

"Is it imported from a foreign country? Isn't there a total blockade of the Navy? What the hell is that shit? ”

"Twelve million rounds, impossible"

The news and the huge numbers made many devil generals not believe it.

Light weapons surpass the Imperial Army, even those German armourers can't do it.

Twelve million rounds of grenades, even the empire will take a long time to produce, and it is absolutely impossible for the Republic of China to produce it on its own, and the import channels have been cut off by the empire at present, and it is impossible.

There is no evidence... The lieutenant general did not continue, and after a glance, handed down the first bag of photos.

The boxes on the mule horses are stacked high, and a mule carries at least a hundred grenades, and on the road behind the photo, there is an endless line of mules and horses.

The photo does not include all the mules and horses, but from the second large-view photo, there are at least 3,000 of these mules, each of which is loaded with a full ammunition box. The ammunition box was marked with German - M24 grenade.

You can even see a lot of mule-drawn carts, and there are boxes of ammunition on the carts.

"This... Where was it transported from? ”

The long ammunition convoy left everyone alone for a few minutes, and they couldn't help but start counting how many boxes of ammunition were in the photo, and then a major general asked.

"According to the information of Tegaoke, the starting place of these convoys is Wanping County, and the specific source has not yet been investigated"

The lieutenant general returned to the road.

"Wanping County?!"

This place name evokes the memories of many devil generals, in the first half of the battle, a brigade was dispatched here to exterminate the Eighth Route Army in Wanping County, but after losing nearly 1,000 people in vain, and time extends forward, there have been several strange battles that are incomprehensible here.

One of the most famous is the overnight annihilation of the wild brigade...

"According to intelligence, there is a unit of the Eighth Route Army called the Independent First Regiment here, and all the materials are transported from this regiment, but the specific information is unknown."

Lieutenant will continue to carry out intelligence.

At the same time, he also couldn't figure it out in his heart, almost all the agents of the special high class around Wanping City were pulled out, especially those who broke into the guerrillas, and there was not a single one left, even if the new ones were sent out, once they entered the guerrillas, they would only be killed silently for half a month at most, which he and the special high class were puzzled by.

One or two will be counted, how did the enemy find almost all the agents?

It is precisely because of this that he has not been able to obtain the information of this strange independent group, and can only vaguely know that it seems that these materials are provided by an overseas Chinese, but the specific material transportation route is unknown.

Although there are waterways around Wanping City, according to the reconnaissance of the navy and army, not a single transport ship has passed by recently.

The only information we had came from the 119th Division and other units.

Without waiting for the topic to continue, the lieutenant general handed out the second bag of photos.

"This is a photo of several recent battles of the Eighth Route Army"

The photos show the situation of the recent battlefields, and some of them were even taken during the battle, and everyone took the photos and watched them with amazed expressions.

"Good dense light artillery fire"

During the war, it was not straw bales that could mix with the top of the front, and this group of experienced old devils could see the core of the photo at a glance, which was so dense that it far exceeded the mortar fire of the imperial army.

The ground in the photo is densely packed with craters, which are different from those caused by grenades and grenadiers, which have a certain depth and a circular blast wave, which is not deep or shallow, and is caused only by vertically falling mortar grenades, and according to the big picture, it should be a 60 mm mortar.

It's just, too many, too many craters...

"So many shells from there?"

A major general was stunned, then frowned.

The Eighth Route Army's range of activity is mountainous and rarely operates in the Great Plains, while light-caliber mortars have high mobility and good power, and their accuracy range is far beyond that of grenadiers, and their demand for logistics is very low, and they are extremely suitable for fighting in mountainous areas.

"According to the information sent back by the special high-tech intelligence officers, the source of the shells came from the independent regiment of Wanping County."

"According to clear information, the Eighth Route Army will be supplied with nearly one million shells in the near future, which is a high-level intelligence sent by sleepers at the cost of their lives."

The lieutenant general has recently obtained information, and in order to send this information, Tegaoke has lost a high-level spy.

"A million rounds..."

Another wave of amazement.

One million rounds is not much for an industrialized country, with Japan's production capacity, there are millions of rounds of 75 caliber grenades per year, but it was an empire with a good industrial base, and now most of the Republic of China is occupied by the empire, and the only remaining industrial area cannot have this output.

Let's not mention where these shells came from, if the Eighth Route Army had this ammunition reserve, then the rear transport lines would be in jeopardy.

As long as dozens of mortars are erected to bombard the convoy, the convoy will definitely suffer huge losses, and the long range of the mortars can ensure the safety of the guerrillas.

"The front-line fighting is not over yet, and it is currently impossible to deploy enough troops to carry out the clearance, so in the near future, various units have strengthened the protection of transport teams, and after September, the front-line fighting has stopped and is working out the combat plan."

"Recently, various units have stepped up their intelligence work, and we have to find out where these ammunition of the Eighth Route Army came from."

"I will send reconnaissance planes to conduct intensive reconnaissance"

In the end, the lieutenant general made a decision.
