Chapter 932
"Destroy them all, so that not a single bullet can flow from the pharmaceutical factory into North China, threatening the safety of the imperial army." Sakuragi Osa replied with a murderous face.
Another subordinate reminded: "If there is no entrainment of weapons and ammunition in it, our judgment is wrong, what if those things are really penicillin raw materials?" ”
"Destroy it anyway!" Sakuragi replied.
The murderous aura emanating from his body did not weaken at all.
"Because of penicillin, the survival rate of the Chinese army on the battlefield after being injured has greatly increased."
"These seriously wounded recovered because of penicillin, took up arms again, fought against the Imperial Army, and consumed the strength of the Imperial Army."
"However, the imperial army is unable to produce penicillin on its own, and the price of penicillin purchased on the black market is high and the quantity is small, and the supply exceeds demand, so it can only meet the needs of officers above the second lieutenant level, and ordinary soldiers still use sulfonamide tablets for treatment, and the survival rate is far lower than that of the Chinese army."
"This is absolutely intolerable to the Empire."
"My superiors gave me an order specifically for this: to get penicillin production recipes and technologies at all costs, and if I can't get them, I can destroy the pharmaceutical factory."
"Penicillin, which the empire can't use, the Chinese army can't even think of using it."
"That's why I've decided to make a last ditch effort!"
Several subordinates got up from their seats at the same time, looked at Sakuragi Daisa, and waited for orders.
"Recently, the empire is planning a bombardment against Chongqing, and I plan to use this bombardment to get penicillin production recipes and technologies."
"Exactly how ...... we do it"
When the Chongqing branch of the special high school began to plan a new conspiracy against the pharmaceutical company, Li Hao was preparing for the upcoming departure.
He had all the plans for twenty trucks, each with weapons and ammunition at the bottom of the box, covered with the equipment and raw materials needed to establish the branch.
In this way, he can send away all the weapons and ammunition that cannot be contained in the secret ammunition depot at once.
In order to ensure their safe arrival in Yan'an, Li Hao once again found the office and reported his second transaction with the Americans by the way.
In the heavily guarded office, Li Hao sat opposite the chief, with a serious face.
The chief sat in his place, looking at the list in his hand, over and over again, and it took a long time to react from the shock.
"Comrade Li Hao, I don't know what words to use to describe this transaction."
"All I can say is that you've worked a miracle again."
"I can accept the weapons and ammunition in the list on behalf of the Eighth Route Army, it's useless for you to keep it anyway, but we can't ask for that gold, you keep it yourself."
"If one day the revolution is in need, we will borrow it from you."
"You've done enough for the revolution, and we can't afford to ask for so much money in vain."
"In addition, even if I agree to accept those weapons and ammunition, I can't move them for the time being, and I can only hide them in the pharmaceutical factory for the time being."
"According to intelligence, the Japanese have noticed the pharmaceutical factory, and they suspect that the five hundred anti-aircraft machine guns equipped by our Eighth Route Army flowed out of the pharmaceutical factory."
"At this time, they must be staring at the pharmaceutical factory."
"Those weapons and ammunition will be targeted as soon as they move, and then destroyed by the Japanese puppet army."
This result was something Li Hao did not expect, especially since the Japanese army already knew that the Eighth Route Army had bought 500 anti-aircraft machine guns through a pharmaceutical factory.
If this is the case, the equipment and weapons and ammunition that he escorted to Chongqing in a few days will definitely be targeted.
When the time comes, he will not only have to guard against the local government and the army, but also against the air raids of the little devils and the ubiquitous attacks of the special high school.
However, this accident did not make Li Hao give up this transportation.
Although the convoy may be targeted, and there may be all kinds of sneak attacks along the way, Li Hao is still full of confidence.
He believed that there was no problem that he and the commandos could not solve.
After thinking about it for two minutes, he replied very decisively: "Don't worry, chief, I'll solve this problem!" ”
"Those weapons and ammunition will be placed in the pharmaceutical factory, and I will find a way to transfer them to the base area."
"And that's what I'm here for today."
"Three days later, I personally escorted a convoy to Xi'an, which included six heavy mortars, 600 heavy mortar shells, 300 heavy artillery shells, and some equipment and raw materials for the manufacture of penicillin."
"Together with part of the equipment and raw materials for the construction of the Xi'an branch, a total of 20 trucks."
"I hope that the underground party in Xi'an, where we are active, will have enough manpower to receive this batch of weapons and ammunition."
"But it is important to ensure the absolute loyalty of those involved in the operation."
"Because this transport is just the beginning."
"Three hundred rounds of heavy artillery shells and three hundred rounds of heavy mortar shells are for the garrison regiment, and I have contacted the garrison regiment and asked them to send people to infiltrate Xi'an in advance, wait on the road that the convoy must pass, and as soon as the convoy arrives, give them things immediately."
"Six heavy mortars, three hundred heavy mortar shells, equipment and raw materials sent to Yan'an, which requires the underground party to respond, through their secret channels, either to Yan'an, or directly to the front line."
The chief did not answer, but asked with a serious face: "Comrade Li Hao, do you know that there are tigers in the mountains, and you prefer to go to the tiger mountains?" ”
"The Japanese keep an eye on the pharmaceutical factory so closely, I'm sure that the convoy will be targeted as soon as it leaves the factory area."
"And the Japanese will definitely attack the convoy at any cost, destroying what is on board."
"According to statistics, under the blows of our air defense forces, the aviation units under the North China Front of the Japanese Army have destroyed 29 planes and damaged 18 planes in the past few months, resulting in heavy losses."
"Because the special high school did not discover these anti-aircraft machine guns in advance and gave early warning to the front army, they had to bear the blame for this defeat."
"Several high-ranking officers were removed and court-martialed."
"So the current special high school is like an enraged tiger, and the pharmaceutical factory is a thorn in their side, a thorn in the flesh, as long as there is a chance, they will definitely kill you at all costs."
"For the sake of safety, I suggest that you don't move the tiger's beard for now, and focus on stability."
"When the Japanese don't keep an eye on it so closely, we'll find a way to transport it."
The chief's proposal is certainly the best.
But Li Hao knew the history that the chief did not know.
In a month or two, the world-famous Battle of the Hundred Regiments will begin.
This was the first strategic counteroffensive of the Eighth Route Army since the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, which not only achieved a large number of results and dealt a blow to the arrogance of the Japanese puppet army, but also saved the sluggish anti-Japanese morale of the whole country and thwarted the Japanese conspiracy to force China to surrender.
However, because of the lack of weapons and ammunition of the Eighth Route Army, especially the siege heavy weapons, the Eighth Route Army paid a huge price during the entire campaign.
Especially in the following retaliatory sweep of the Japanese army, all the participating troops suffered considerable losses.
Although the one hundred and fifty heavy mortars in his hands are not many, because of their large caliber, their power far exceeds that of ordinary mountain artillery.
It can both attack and defend.
If the Eighth Route Army had their help on the battlefield, the losses would have been much smaller.
This is the only contribution that Li Hao can make to this big battle in the deep rear.
In addition, he had to send back enough heavy artillery shells to the garrison regiment, so that the twelve heavy guns equipped by the garrison regiment would also participate in the battle.
Although it can't change the situation of the war, it will definitely be able to inflict heavy losses on the Japanese puppet army on the local battlefield and expand the results of the battle.
