It was also judged that the Japanese army would find a way to transport the gas bombs back at the first time, rather than pursuing them. That's why Li Ziyuan dared to take the bulky loot and transfer to the front line of Fuhu Temple. You must know that even if he did not take away all the captured ammunition, Li Ziyuan also took away as much captured ammunition as possible when the troops could afford it.

Because Li Ziyuan didn't know when his next wave of ammunition replenishment would be. Bring more with you to ensure the combat effectiveness of the troops as much as possible. Moreover, taking away as much ammunition as possible this time is also an effective supplement to the divisional troops that are also facing a grim situation.

Now almost every member of his troops, except for the platoon directly under the guard in front, carries a box of bullets on their shoulders. Especially the seventy-nine bullets that the Japanese army replenished the puppet army, Li Ziyuan took them away as much as possible. All the fighters, on their chests and backs, carried captured grenades on their backs.

However, so much ammunition is undoubtedly a heavy burden for this army, which can only rely on foot and shoulder, without the assistance of any mobile means. But this is not to blame Li Ziyuan for being greedy, but the ammunition of the troops is too short now. While concentrated firepower can reduce casualties, it can require higher ammunition replenishment.

If you can hoard a little, you can maintain it for a longer period of time. Of course, Li Ziyuan would not be stupid enough to carry so much ammunition and go around in enemy-occupied areas. After arriving at the front line of Fuhu Temple, Li Ziyuan immediately found a hidden place and buried all these ammunition.

The canvas on the Japanese trucks is ready-made, and the weapons and ammunition that cannot be taken away can be wrapped and buried with canvas, which can effectively ensure that these weapons and ammunition do not have problems. However, Li Ziyuan, who didn't know what the situation was in the mountains right now, didn't dare to send people into the mountains to find troops and let them transport this batch of ammunition back.

Now I'm afraid that the mountains are full of Japanese puppet soldiers, in case the people sent out are captured and can't endure the torture and recruit, then won't they be busy in vain? This batch of ammunition and weapons, Li Ziyuan still decided to stay here first. However, Li Ziyuan used the captured new Japanese machine gun to replace a crooked handle.

This new Japanese machine gun uses a magazine to feed ammunition. Although it is also a six-five bullet, it is much better than the bucket feed with a crooked handle. Although the design of this butt is not normal, it is estimated that it looks better than the crooked handle. Since the bullets were the same, Li Ziyuan simply replaced the crooked handle with this machine gun.

If Li Ziyuan was a military fan in his previous life, he would have recognized this light machine gun, which is somewhat similar to the crooked handle, but basically different in appearance, is the Japanese army's Type 96 light machine gun. This machine gun did not make a fundamental structural adjustment to the crooked sub-machine gun, but only changed the bucket feed to the magazine feed.

The Japanese, who were too frugal in army equipment, explained that they knew the shortcomings of the crooked handle machine gun, but in order to make the most of the crooked handle production line. On this new machine gun, only partial adjustments were made. Aside from the ammunition used, no adjustments have been made, and the entire gun is basically not much different from the crooked handle.

Even in order to take advantage of the production line of crooked handles, the entire bolt part has not been adjusted in any way. To put it bluntly, it is a new barrel and ammunition feeding system, which is combined with a crooked bolt to deal with. Because the new barrel structure is different from the crooked handle, but the receiver of the crooked handle is used, which makes the machine gun also need to oil the bullets, and also increases the malfunction of the gun in disguise.

The biggest improvement of this machine gun for crooked handles is that the barrel with frequent failures is gone, and it is replaced by a magazine feed. The fixed barrel was changed to a replaceable barrel, which increased a certain rate of fire. But the problem is that the improvisation of the construction allows the bullet to get stuck in the chamber of the gun. And these problems of this machine gun are not clear to Li Ziyuan, who saw this machine gun for the first time.

It was only after this machine gun was put into actual combat for the first time by Li Ziyuan that Li Ziyuan had to admit it painfully. This new Japanese machine gun, except that the ammunition supply structure is stronger than that of the crooked handle and is more comfortable to use, this thing is basically not better than the crooked handle. The thing that gets stuck is not much better than a crooked handle.

But Li Ziyuan, who doesn't know about this thing at the moment, and has so many problems, regards this crooked machine gun that uses magazines to feed ammunition as half a treasure. The magazine feeding machine gun that can use Japanese machine gun shells is undoubtedly a very good choice for Li Ziyuan.

So Li Ziyuan firmly used this machine gun to replace a crooked handle. However, although in the actual combat later, Li Ziyuan also discovered the problem of this kind of machine gun love to jam. However, in view of the fact that the performance of this machine gun is still acceptable, he still kept this machine gun.

At the same time, Li Ziyuan also adjusted his weapons and equipment. In addition to the Meiji 38 heavy machine gun that used 65 bullets to keep it, the Type 92 heavy machine gun that he carried when he went out of the mountain was also buried. Carrying two heavy machine guns is still a bit too cumbersome for the current troops.

After streamlining some of the equipment, the reinforced company led by Li Ziyuan was each issued with 100 rounds of ammunition, four Japanese-style grenades, and two Northeast-made grenades. Six light machine guns and one heavy machine gun, carrying a total of 40,000 rounds of ammunition. Two grenadiers, carrying a total of thirty grenades. Although the firepower of the troops has been weakened a little, they appear to be much more capable.

However, although it was judged that the Japanese army would not pursue at the first time, Li Ziyuan could not help but consider the subsequent impact of this battle. This time, he hit the Japanese poison gas transport truck, and directly blew up these chemical warfare weapons, and the Japanese army was afraid that they would chase after their butts and bite them.

What to do next, Li Ziyuan didn't have an accurate idea in his heart. But one thing Li Ziyuan is sure of is that the Japanese army will definitely tightly blockade the western part of Hubei. If the Japanese army did not bring back the troops that swept through the eastern mountains, then how would they find fighters?

When resting in Fuhu Temple, Li Ziyuan's head never stopped to think. His fingers were on the map all the time, slicing back and forth. And He Sanliang and Zeng Sheng also have no suitable ideas. Although Li Ziyuan is very worried about this kind of headless fly-like mess, it is easy to bring danger to himself.

But before he couldn't come up with any good solutions for a while, Li Ziyuan could only take one step at a time. In the gaps of the surrounding enemy forces, maneuver a wide range to find and capture fighters. However, Li Ziyuan did not move blindly, but sent Liu Lianming out to reconnoiter before the operation.

But although Li Ziyuan had a certain amount of psychological preparation, the Japanese army's reaction to his battle was still beyond his expectations. Just after Li Ziyuan set up an ambush on the outskirts of Pingchuan and knocked out the convoy of Japanese troops transporting poison gas. Before the afternoon of the same day, several Japanese reconnaissance planes appeared in the sky around Pingchuan, looking for traces of Li Ziyuan everywhere.

After a violent explosion came from the direction of the road, Li Ziyuan did not turn back to reconnoiter how much damage he had caused to the Japanese army this time. The terrain around Pingchuan did not allow Li Ziyuan to do this. If you don't evacuate quickly, you really can't evacuate.

However, although Li Ziyuan did not go back to check, he also knew that the things he made would definitely not make the Japanese army feel good. The devil reacted so quickly, it should be that the loss will not be too small. Otherwise, the devil would not have been able to be so fast, so he was transferred to the plane to look for himself everywhere.

In fact, Li Ziyuan didn't know that what he made this time caused far greater losses to the Japanese army than he expected. It was okay for those trucks to carry gas cartridges, but the gas shells that were transported were not the suffocating and tear-jerking gas shells he seized at the drop-off stronghold during the Spring Festival, but all of them were erosive and generalized suffocating gas shells.

These gas shells and gas cartridges were specially given to the 36th Division of the First Army in order to complete the sweep of Hubei and the next step to penetrate directly into Licheng. Even when sweeping the mountainous areas in the eastern part of Hubei, in addition to being the largest force of the Japanese army in Hubei, the 36th Division, which is not small in the defense area, still felt that its strength was slightly insufficient.

In order to make up for the lack of rear forces caused by the transfer of troops of the 36th Division in this sweep. In order to eliminate as many major generals as possible in the reckless Taihang Mountain, he immediately concentrated all the troops that could be concentrated in Hubei County, and sent reinforcements to the place of the incident at full speed.

Knowing the chemical warfare weapons that were shipped to Hirakawa, the real intention of using them, this Major General Yamauchi Masafumi. Not only did he mobilize all the troops that could be mobilized, but he also rushed to the scene in person with the dignity of his own major general. This batch of chemical weapons is too important, if it falls into the hands of the Eighth Route Army, even the division commander will not be able to bear the consequences.

When he saw that the truck transporting the poison gas shells was basically intact, the Major General Yamauchi Masafumi breathed a sigh of relief at the same time. Order the truck driver you brought with you to take over the trucks immediately. The truck, whose engine had been damaged, was towed by the armored vehicle that came with it, and the poison gas bombs were quickly transported to the warehouse that had been secretly constructed east of Pingchuan Town.
