Chapter 69 Exchanging Heavy Weapons and Equipment
"Boom, boom, boom......"
One after another, the shells exploded one after another, and the planes of the little devils emitted black smoke one after another, three or four of which had already been planted on the ground, and the rest of the planes did not bother to drop bombs, and dragged the black smoke to turn around and flee into the distance, not knowing whether the road would be able to return to the airport.
"Good!"
Seeing several little devil planes shot down in person, Ye Feng applauded happily, these German-made 88mm anti-aircraft guns are really good, and their performance is superior.
In the afternoon, Ye Feng went to the No. 1 warehouse in Nine Wolf Mountain.
At this time, the No. 1 warehouse has been completely completed, the scale is huge, there are four huge holes lined up at the foot of the mountain, the warehouse inside the mountain is wide and smooth, and the entire warehouse is heavily guarded.
In the No. 1 warehouse, Ye Feng was ready to exchange for a batch of weapons and equipment, and this trip to Nanjing obtained about 100,000 meritorious points.
Annihilated more than 500 people of the pursuing Yamamoto Brigade, killed thousands of people in the artillery positions of the shelling devils, destroyed dozens of cannons, and blew up the special train of Hatohiko Asakanomiya, in addition, it also eliminated hundreds of little devils sporadically, and the merit value reached as much as 100,000.
The current independent brigade is basically based on light weapons, and heavy weapons are very lacking, this time, when he came to the No. 1 warehouse, Ye Feng's main purpose was to exchange a large number of heavy weapons and equipment.
Artillery is indispensable, tanks are a must, anti-aircraft weapons also need equipment, what about airplanes? The plane was still not considered for the time being, Ye Feng was like a rich man, and he exchanged a large amount of heavy equipment from the system.
Exchange for 24 active American 105mm howitzers, each cannon has 500 points, and a total of 12,000 merit points are consumed;
Exchange 12 active American 155mm howitzers, each cannon has 1,000 points, and a total of 12,000 merit points are consumed;
Exchange for 20 German-made 88mm anti-aircraft guns, each cannon consumes 400 points, and a total of 8,000 merit points are consumed;
Exchange for 50 American 25mm cannons in service, each cannon consumes 100 points, and consumes a total of 5,000 merit points;
Exchange 50 active American Sherman tanks, each tank has 800 points, and a total of 40,000 merit points are consumed;
……
After the exchange, the No. 1 warehouse, which was originally relatively empty, suddenly plumped up, neatly placed all kinds of heavy equipment, from 60 mm mortars to 155 mm heavy guns, tanks, and armored vehicles.
One hundred thousand merit points seemed like a lot, but it was far from meeting Ye Feng's expected requirements, and soon, these merit points became piles of equipment.
In order to save a little, the equipment exchanged by Ye Feng is all the equipment in active service in various countries, and those equipment that has not yet come out are more expensive to exchange, and the more advanced they are, the more expensive they are, Ye Feng did not exchange them.
In addition, a large amount of ammunition and gasoline were exchanged, and even more than a hundred large trucks, more than a dozen jeeps, and only a few thousand points were left after the 100,000 merit points.
With this equipment, the artillery regiment can be equipped with artillery, and the tank regiment can be equipped with tanks and armored vehicles......

Nanjing City.
On December 13, the Japanese army officially captured Nanjing, and a few days later, the Central China Front of the Japanese army specially held a grand ceremony to enter the city, and several important newspapers in Japan carried important reports.
The Japanese Central China Front also moved its headquarters to Nanjing, and a large number of Japanese troops began to operate in the city, capturing a certain number of national prisoners, and after a few days of rest, the Japanese army began to prepare for the next stage of invasion.
In the next stage, the Japanese army mainly attacked several major cities near Nanjing, among which the city of Hangzhou, which was not far from Nanjing, became one of the main targets of the Japanese army.
The Central China Front Command of the Japanese Army.
Yesterday, according to Matsui Ishone's order, eight Japanese bombers bombed Shannan County, but they were hit by the anti-aircraft fire of the Independent Brigade, and only two of the eight planes came back after the last day.
According to the reports of the pilots of the two planes that returned, the Shannan County Independent Brigade was equipped with several anti-aircraft guns on the defensive line in the east of the city, and was suddenly hit by these anti-aircraft guns and suffered heavy losses.
"The Separate Brigade actually has anti-aircraft guns." Matsui thought to himself, with a black face, walking around the command hall.
"Your Excellency Commander, the number of anti-aircraft guns in the Independent Brigade is definitely limited, we can formulate a detailed battle plan this time, and with aircraft and artillery and a large number of infantry, we must capture Shannan County.
"The independent brigade is dead, give me contact the 6th Division."
Ye Feng didn't know what to do, and Matsui Shigen was already formulating a detailed operational plan, aiming at Shannan County, concentrating the strength of a division, dozens of heavy artillery, and dozens of aircraft, preparing to attack Shannan County in one fell swoop.
As for the cement structure fortifications built by Shannan County in the east of the city, Matsui Shigen didn't pay much attention to it, in Matsui Shigen's opinion, the strength of a division, and it is still a division, with the cooperation of such artillery and aircraft, if you can't break through such a small defense line, then find a piece of tofu to kill it.
With the formulation of the operational plan, the Japanese army began to move, the sixth division was the main force in the attack on Shannan County, the 6th brigade of heavy artillery cooperated, and the Japanese air force also dispatched a large number of planes to cooperate, some of the actions of the Japanese army were still seen through by Sun Yang, who was lurking in Nanjing City, and immediately sent the situation to Ye Feng.

Shannan County.
At the headquarters of the Independent Brigade, Ye Feng was looking at two telegrams with a solemn face, one of these two telegrams was sent by the Third War Zone, and the telegram said that the people from the Third War Zone had set off and came to Shannan County to escort Hatohiko of the Chaoxiang Palace back to the Third War Zone Headquarters, asking Ye Feng to cooperate.
Another telegram was sent from Sun Yang in Nanjing, saying that the Japanese army might have made a big move against Shannan County, dispatching the strength of a field division, a heavy artillery brigade, and possibly a large number of aircraft to prepare for an attack on the independent brigade.
These two telegrams were not good news for Ye Feng, and Ye Feng's mood suddenly became heavy.
Especially this time, the Japanese army attacked with heavy troops, dispatching a field division and a field heavy artillery brigade, so many troops, and Ye Feng himself, the entire independent brigade was only more than 6,000 people, and most of them were recruits who had only been trained for one or two months.
Those who come are not good, and those who are good are not coming!
On December 23, the Japanese Sixth Division attacked Hangzhou, and the next day Hangzhou fell, and the Japanese army pointed directly at Shannan County.
The Nationalist army stationed in Hangzhou only resisted for one day, and then the troops collapsed, fled, Hangzhou fell, and the Japanese army entered the city of Hangzhou in a big way.
