In the evening of the same day, a joint operation of the Chongqing guard forces and intelligence services began.

Troops took to the streets, guided by intelligence officers, to reach their targets.

Yesterday, he was still the high-spirited shopkeeper of a foreign bank, the boss, and he became a prisoner.

In the pharmaceutical factory, Li Hao also paid attention to the arrest.

The heavier the losses of the Japanese spies and intelligence personnel lurking in Chongqing, the safer the production environment of the pharmaceutical factory will be, and the more energy they will have to build a branch factory and build up the transportation line with Chongqing and Xi'an.

"Commander, the office just sent a piece of information that Chongqing's operation tonight did not achieve the expected results,"

"There are many places where people go to empty buildings, and the little devil obviously knew the news in advance and temporarily retreated."

"Chongqing is too big, with a large population, and a mixed bag. As long as those lurking agents get away with it, it will definitely be even harder to catch them than to climb to the sky. ”

Li Hao sighed and replied: "This is expected, if the little devil spies were so easy to be killed, they would not have lurked in Chongqing for so long, and they are becoming more and more entrenched." ”

"However, even if this operation doesn't hurt them, all the losses will definitely add up to not small."

"So they're definitely going to stop for a while, but it's a little bit shorter than I expected."

"You have a task now, while ensuring the safety of the pharmaceutical factory, expand the garrison battalion to five hundred, no, only four hundred people, and I will ask the political commissar to select a hundred absolutely loyal soldiers of the Eighth Route Army to come over and be responsible for the defense of the core location of the pharmaceutical factory. If you need any weapons and ammunition, I'll figure it out. ”

"In addition, after the restricted area of the pharmaceutical factory was expanded to three kilometers, half of the mountains behind the pharmaceutical factory were in the restricted area."

"I ask you to find favorable terrain and dig a few more bomb shelters to come out."

"Remember, this matter must be hidden, only you and I know the exact location of the bomb shelter, and it must be built to be hidden enough and strong."

"Our pharmaceutical plant not only needs to produce penicillin, but also to become a transit point for supplies."

"Bang ......"

There was a sudden knock at the door.

"Come in!" Li Hao blurted out, and then saw Zhou Liang pushing the door in, holding a telegram in his hand.

"Regiment commander, commissar telegram."

"Report on the results and losses of the garrison regiment in this counter-sweep."

"In this counter-sweep, all the troops in the base area participated, and the biggest result of the battle was to reinforce the mobile battalion, cavalry battalion, heavy artillery battalion, and air defense battalion of the army division."

"According to statistics, we eliminated more than 1,500 Japanese puppet troops in this battle, not including the results of the joint division of reinforcements, including more than 600 Japanese troops and more than 900 puppet troops, and captured more than 1,100 long and short guns, 29 light and heavy machine guns, four mortars, one mountain artillery, and one infantry gun."

"Because our garrison regiment is not the main attacking force of the Japanese puppet army, not long after the battle began, the Japanese puppet army retreated, so the troops have no chance to expand the results."

"The biggest losses were the reinforcements, and then the troops left behind in the base areas."

"A total of 486 cadres and fighters were killed, and 198 cadres and soldiers were seriously injured and temporarily lost their combat effectiveness."

"Because of the reinforcement division, the ammunition reserves are depleted."

"At present, the base area is increasing the ammunition reserve through reloading and production. But heavy artillery shells, large-caliber mortar shells, mountain artillery shells, infantry artillery shells, we have not yet been able to produce, and the battlefield has not been captured. ”

"At present, the heavy artillery shells in the stock can only average to 10 rounds, the heavy mortar shells can average 15 rounds per shell, and the mountain artillery shells are the most, but they can only average 20 rounds, and they can't even support a large-scale battle, so they urgently need to be replenished."

"In addition, in this operation, the troops also found a problem."

"The front-line Japanese puppet army that confronts us, including the stronghold garrison, has less than half of the original ammunition reserves."

"After the battle, even if we completely annihilate our opponents, we will only have a handful of ammunition captured."

"The political commissar judged that this should be a deliberate act by the Japanese army to prevent us from developing and growing by fighting to feed the war."

Li Hao replied with a calm face: "There is no doubt about this. ”

"The Japanese are not stupid, watching us expand our troops with captured weapons and ammunition again and again, and in turn to fight them, they will definitely be prepared."

"I'm sure that in the future, in addition to attacking large strongholds, county seats, some ammunition will be captured. Attacking ordinary small and medium-sized strongholds, field troops, there must be only a handful of loot that can be captured. ”

"If you want to have a large-scale capture, there is only one way, to attack the big cities heavily defended by the Japanese puppet army."

"But the cost is too great, and we can't do it until we have to."

"Therefore, if you want the troops to have ammunition available in the next battle, the most direct and easiest way is to produce it yourself."

"Call back to the commissar: from now on, gather all manpower and material resources in the base area to produce bullets, grenades, mortar shells."

"At the same time, report to the military sub-districts and ask them to collect bullet casings, scrap copper and rotten iron, and artillery shell casings."

"As long as it is sent to our garrison regiment, it can be exchanged for new bullets, grenades, and artillery shells."

"Finally, let him tell the arsenal to break through the technology of producing warheads for mountain artillery artillery at all costs."

"The use of artillery shells used on the battlefield is reassembled to produce artillery shells."

"As for heavy mortar shells and heavy artillery shells, I'll figure it out."

"In addition, ask the political commissar to select a hundred absolutely loyal and high-quality fighters from the whole regiment to come to Chongqing, I will be useful."

Zhou Liang had just left with the telegram that Li Hao had signed, and Xiao Yuan asked anxiously.

"It's too difficult for the head of the regiment to solve this problem."

"I thought about it just now, only Chongqing and the devil have these two kinds of shells in their hands in China, and the number of shells in Chongqing's hands must be very small, and they are hidden like treasures, and they must not be moved unless they have to."

"It's definitely harder to get these shells from them than it is to get them, even if we use penicillin to blackmail them, it won't necessarily work, but it will make them worry about our pharmaceutical factory."

"As for the little devils, don't even think about it."

"They want to cut off our way of obtaining weapons and ammunition through warfare, and they must be very close to heavy artillery shells, at least heavily defensive."

"Even if we send out heavy troops to attack the ammunition depot, they could detonate the ammunition depot at the last minute, leaving us with nothing."

"And apart from Chongqing and the little devil, I can't think of where else to get these two shells."

Li Hao furrowed his brows and didn't speak.

I don't know how long it took, but a smile suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth, and then he replied.

"No, we have another way."

"The Americans were able to transport 500 anti-aircraft machine guns and 3 million rounds of ammunition to Chongqing through the Japanese blockade, and there must be a way to send artillery shells to Chongqing."

"Since Chongqing and the Japanese can't think of a way, then we will find a way from the Americans."
