Chapter 581: The situation is not so good
This good news, which sounded worthy of killing pigs and sheep and rewarding the whole army, did not stay long in Liu Cheng's heart, and disappeared completely.
Yes, it sounds like something to be happy about, but it's not.
Twenty planes, in the hands of others, it is a good thing, but in Liu Cheng's hands, it is a hot potato, and it is of little significance.
Sooner or later, the independent battalion will have to enter the customs.
But what about after entering the customs?
It stands to reason that the establishment of about 5,000 people has reached the standard of a division, and it is possible to have a station.
But with such an unjustifiable team as the independent battalion, will the bald head arrange a station for him?
Even if it is arranged, will it still be held hostage by the local governor?
If these twenty planes were Apaches, there would be nothing to worry about, they would take off and land anytime and anywhere, conveniently, quickly and with full combat power.
It's a pity that they are the oldest biplane propeller aircraft, and even the special airborne machine guns are equipped with ordinary machine guns, let alone any direct ascent and landing.
Does Liu Cheng have to spend time and effort building an airport and several runways?
Also, even if the bomb can be built, how to solve the fuel problem?
There is still an airplane in Taolin City, but when it starts, Liu Cheng always has an illusion, like seeing a tractor preparing for the autumn harvest.
The process of human start-up is indeed similar to that of a tractor, and every time I think of it, it will make him play instantly.
Although he experienced this war once, after all, he experienced decades of changes in the times and saw too many high-tech weapons and equipment, and Liu Cheng's subconscious will inevitably have some changes.
How to use these planes, where to put them, and how much of a role they can play in wartime are all difficult problems, and Liu Cheng has not yet thought about them.
And those heavy artillery.
It's a good thing, and in some small and medium-sized battles, they can make the difference between victory and defeat.
But where did the shells come from?
Today, the independent battalion has expanded to almost 5,000 men, and the pace of ammunition production is clearly not keeping up with consumption.
If there is another battle of 1,000 people, I am afraid that Liu Chengcheng will have to send people to collect bullets on the corpse while fighting.
After thinking about it, Liu Cheng reluctantly gave Tao Lin's plane and two of the 150-mm cannons to Feng Zhi'an, the commander of the 38th Division, who was about to return to Zhangjiakou to replenish the troops after repairs, and he handed them over to Song Zheyuan.
There were also half of the trophies such as rifles, machine guns, and mortars.
Although Song Zheyuan didn't say a word about the spoils during the two days in Taolin, Liu Cheng was not the kind of person who didn't know what was going on.
The war was fought, the people died, and in the end, none of the spoils were given to the family, so can the people's hearts be balanced?
In the future, the independent battalion is afraid that it will have to stay in Chahar for a long time, and it will not be good if there is a disagreement with Song Zheyuan because of this kind of thing.
For Liu Cheng's generosity, Song Zheyuan really didn't expect it.
And Liu Cheng couldn't imagine that his move inadvertently gave Tian Haoyuan, who had always supported him, a big face, so that Song Zheyuan has been convinced of his judgment since then.
Liu Cheng knew that they would spend a relatively peaceful time after that, at least for a short time, the little devils would not provoke them again.
Jinling's bald head is not a fool, something has happened, and the result is favorable to him, he will naturally not turn around and blame Song Zheyuan again, but will make a preemptive strike before the little devil attacks, so that the little devil who has exhausted the organs but abandoned his previous efforts will be forced to swallow this unpalatable bitter fruit.
Therefore, he issued an order three days later for Gao Yuan to select fifty men from among the soldiers of the whole battalion and take them to the place where the planes were hidden for secret training; In addition, a platoon of machine guns was drawn to help protect them, and at the same time, they were trained to control the heavy guns, and then they were brought back when needed.
The 1st Company, 3rd Company, 4th Company, Engineer Company, Cavalry Company, Special Operations Company, Machine Gun Company, Medical Company, and Transport Company were stationed in Xinghe, Taolin, and Liangcheng counties, and at the same time recruited and supplemented the establishment.
Except for the cavalry company and the machine gun company, which remained unchanged at 1,500 men, the rest of the companies were unified with 400 men, increasing from the original three platoons to four platoons, with 100 men in each platoon.
In the absence of fighting, each unit trained on its own as a company, and at the end of each month, Tian Liuwa was assessed and inspected one by one, and Liu Cheng was randomly inspected.
Although he did not put forward any requirements for Zhou Zuopeng, Zhou Zuopeng, who had now surrendered to Liu Cheng's five-body body and claimed that "where is the independent battalion, where is the second independent battalion", directly came to the script, officially abandoned the original number, and the establishment was completely copied according to the independent battalion, which was exactly the same.
Even in order to find Liu Cheng for the training outline, Zhou Zuopeng specially sent someone to Song Zheyuan to ask for a few jars of good wine, and invited Liu Cheng to drink several meals one after another before he said what he wanted the training outline.
In this regard, Liu Cheng did not hesitate at all, and directly agreed.
They are all anti-Japanese teams, and Liu Cheng is naturally happy to see that all the teams are getting stronger and stronger.
At the same time, Liu Cheng did not forget Zhang Guanyi, who did his best to help him.
Seeing that the Northeast Anti-Japanese Allied Army is about to enter a period of rapid development, Zhang Guanyi must still lack sufficient weapons in his hands.
Therefore, Liu Cheng specially prepared a big gift for Zhang Guanyi.
Fifteen hundred rifles, fifty light machine guns, ten heavy machine guns, ten mortars, three seventy-five-mm mountain guns and three one hundred and fifty-mm cannons.
Although he knew that those under Zhang Guan might not be able to become united because of the appearance of these weapons, and there would still be many contradictions, and those who should have rebelled would also mutiny, Liu Cheng still wanted to give this gift to the soldiers who fought between the white mountains and black waters.
No matter how much of a contribution it can make in the end, whether it will allow some people who should have been sacrificed to survive because of it, he will do it.
Once again, he must at least do his best to help the team he once fought, even if he still can't change their fate even a little bit in the end, at least he is worthy of his heart!
And on the Japanese side, as Liu Cheng expected, they could only swallow the knocked out teeth into their stomachs.
In fact, Japan had now occupied a small part of the area north and east of Chahar Xinghe, and had no shame in annexing it to the boundaries of Manchukuo.
Originally, it was planned to force Song Zheyuan's 29th Army to withdraw from Chahar through this battle, so as to achieve the goal of complete occupation and completely open the door to the Central Plains for the next full-scale war.
Unfortunately, they failed.
Moreover, after paying the price of a fully integrated brigade, it was a complete failure.
Tanaka-kun only brought back less than 1,500 people, and the angry Kitajiro directly canceled the establishment of the Tanaka brigade and reorganized a brigade in the local reserve.
