Chapter 129: The Battle of Anqing? Military-industrial planning
100,000 rounds of ammunition, 50,000 grenades, gold bars, silver dollars, and a number of fiat currency......
Although it was not given for free, but was used to exchange weapons and ammunition, and to help train technical soldiers, Yang Tianfeng was still very happy. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoIt's just that he can't guess what the reason is for Liao Lei's urgent need.
Therefore, while he warmly entertained the personnel sent by Liao Lei at the banquet, he was still searching for relevant historical records in his mind.
"The same anti-Japanese friendly army, Commander Liao is really too polite." Yang Tianfeng felt that the liaison officer sent by Liao Lei was very much like a famous actor in later generations, and his interest increased greatly, and he was very willing to talk to him, "Yang has not sincerely thanked him for his help before, and this time he sent so many materials, which really made Yang feel ashamed!" ā
"General Yang doesn't have to be too modest." Niu Anqing, the liaison officer, said politely: "First there is a great victory in Sucheng and the head of the enemy is killed; After the recovery of Kaifeng, General Yang also contributed a lot. Outsiders may not know much about this, but Commander Liao knows very well and appreciates it very much. At present, northern Anhui, eastern Anhui, and even central Anhui will be connected together, and in the future, we will join hands to fight the war, sincerely unite, and will be able to create good results together. ā
"Working together to fight the war and create good results is also Yang's wish." Yang Tianfeng pondered for a moment and said, "I will prepare the weapons and ammunition that Commander Liao wants as soon as possible; As for the technical soldiers, they will be able to enter the class tomorrow to study. ā
"Can it all be completed in half a month?" Niu Anqing looked at Yang Tianfeng with some urgency, "Brother's name is Anqing, but if the messenger is smashed, Anqing won't be able to!" ā
Half a month? Yang Tianfeng thought about it, and Niu Anqing's name suddenly gave him a reminder. He remembered it, no wonder Liao Lei was so generous and anxious, it turned out that he was going to do a big battle!
In the second year of the Anti-Japanese War, Anqing has become the rear base of the base camp of the Japanese army invading China in the south of the Yangtze River. With the help of the Yangtze River waterway and the advantages of the Jiangnan Plain, it is very important to store troops and goods.
In history, on the eve of the first anniversary of the fall of Anqing, Liao Lei sent the 526th Brigade of the 176th Division of the Gui Department and the 9th Guerrilla Column to launch the largest night attack on the Japanese troops stationed in Anqing City under the command of Hao Wenbo, the puppet army. The battle lasted several hours, killing and wounding more than 400 Japanese soldiers, burning an ammunition depot and two planes.
In early May, he attacked Anqing, less than a month ago, and Liao Lei was so anxious because of this! Yang Tianfeng figured it out and was relieved. It is estimated that Sucheng and Kaifeng won two consecutive victories, which also made Liao Lei's appetite and hope bigger, and he wanted to achieve the greatest results in the attack on Anqing.
"The specific weapons and ammunition may be lacking in quantity, but I will compensate for it with other weapons." Yang Tianfeng decided to be an adult, help Liao Lei, and have another big victory like the Kaifeng Campaign, "What about the power, Brother Niu doesn't have to doubt it, you will know if you see it tomorrow-" After a pause, Yang Tianfeng swallowed his saliva, but still did not say "When attacking Anqing Airport, can you get two planes back to have fun".
Niu Anqing was skeptical, but seeing that Yang Tianfeng was firm, it was not good to continue to ask, so he could only wait until tomorrow to observe.
A staff officer hurriedly walked over and whispered a few words in Yang Tianfeng's ear.
"You guys use it slowly, Yang has military affairs to deal with, so he will be with him first." Yang Tianfeng got up to take leave and followed the staff officer out.
ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦
The telegram was sent, and Liang Moqing and the others were waiting anxiously.
Jiang Jicai had already arranged the attack, and he was waiting for the order to destroy it. grinning his teeth, scratching his ears and cheeks, counting him as the most anxious.
On the other hand, Song Qingpu has become much calmer. Not only does the stubble on his face look old and heavy, but the battles large and small also make him psychologically mature.
"The chief called back." The telegraph operator had a telegram in his hand and a strange expression.
"Read." Liang Moqing replied briefly.
The operator seemed to grin and read aloud: "The enemy situation has changed, and the generals can deal with it randomly." You guys, whatever! ā
The three of them didn't fully understand, and they were all waiting for the telegram to follow, Jiang Ji was the most anxious, raised his head and urged: "Keep reading!" ā
"It's over, it's over." The operator looked innocent.
Song Qingpu laughed, slapped his ass and stood up, and said, "Just hit it, it's easy now." ā
Liang Moqing rolled his eyes, took out his pocket watch and looked at it, and said, "Now face the watch, and launch a general attack in half an hour." ā
After finishing the table, everyone had to go to their own positions, and Jiang Jicai did not forget to tell Song Qingpu, "Loosen up a little in the west and don't release a few messengers, how can the enemies in the county come?" ā
"There's something wrong with you!" Song Qingpu glanced at him, "The phone line hasn't been cut, and someone is still used to report the news?" ā
Jiang Jicai rolled his eyes at Song Qingpu, waved his hand violently for a long time, and turned around and left.
ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦
Yang Tianfeng did not rest after sending the telegram, and sat in the office flipping through the documents.
300,000 rounds of ammunition, 100,000 grenades, and a number of bonuses. Sun Tongxuan of the Third Army was more generous than Liao Lei, because he also got more.
With his record, Sun Tongxuan's goal has been achieved. The recovery of Kaifeng and the total annihilation of the defending enemy were the first precedent of recovering a famous city and killing the commander of the enemy's division since the Anti-Japanese War. Not to mention that after this war, the Third Army can be regarded as famous in the Chinese media.
After Wei Lihuang finished inspecting Zhengzhou, he was extremely happy to see the mountain of seizures, especially the command knife and epaulettes of the division commander Maeda Ye. With a stroke of the pen, 1 million rounds of ammunition, 250,000 grenades, a bonus of 100,000 yuan, and priority in the distribution of food and salary, the Third Army was able to get rid of the situation of shortage of ammunition and ammunition. Coupled with the relocation of the people from Kaifeng, the population of Zhengzhou was enriched at once, so that the soldiers lost in this battle are expected to be replenished in a short period of time, and the strength of the Third Army will soon be restored.
The Japanese were extremely vindictive, and Wei Lihuang transferred the 14th Cavalry Brigade, the 1st Cavalry Division, and a Marine Division, which were controlled by Sun Tongxuan to strengthen the river defense.
Sun Tongxuan managed more soldiers, and his waist was straight, but he was not alone, and he pulled out bullets, grenades and some bonuses, which was not only to thank Yang Tianfeng for sending troops to help, but also to exchange more new weapons. Moreover, he also spoke well for Yang Tianfeng in front of Wei Lihuang and demonstrated the power of the new weapon. Especially the sky-bombarding cannon, shaped like the lethal effect of heavy artillery, even Wei Lihuang nodded in admiration.
The production capacity will be expanded, and he is really about to become an arms dealer. Yang Tianfeng smiled bitterly and looked at the list of weapons needed everywhere, and felt that with the current scale and production capacity of the arsenal, it would definitely be difficult to guarantee the supply.
After pondering for a long time, Yang Tianfeng took a pen to write down the measures taken by the arsenal to improve its production capacity. Since he has never cherished himself with a broom, he will not hold on to the technology of weapon manufacturing. Except for a small amount of technology that is classified, he hopes that more and more arsenals will be able to make weapons to kill Japanese people.
Therefore, his first move was to transfer a few technical backbones from the arsenal and report to Wei Lihuang. It was suggested that Wei Lihuang, in his capacity as commander-in-chief of the theater and chairman of Henan Province, order the Houzhai Arsenal in Beitingfang in Nanyang to start producing weapons such as steel fists, flying thunder canisters, grenade launchers, and shotguns. The parts and ammunition that could not be manufactured by the equipment and technical strength of the Houzhai Arsenal were then supplied by the Mangshan Arsenal.
Yang Tianfeng hoped that other anti-Japanese armed forces could gradually embark on the road of self-production, so that the production capacity of the Mangshan Arsenal could be liberated to produce newer and more powerful weapons.
Another measure to expand production is to mobilize the people to build small workshops at home, and the arsenal provides some simple equipment, tools and materials, and some of the simple manufacturing, processing, and assembly packages are given to the small workshops. In fact, this was a method of imitating the guerrillas of the Eighth Route Army to mobilize the masses and extensively process black powder to make mines.
The last option is to increase the number of machines and workers. This has always been the case, workers are easy to recruit, but machinery and equipment are not easy to purchase. Yang Tianfeng is not stingy with money, but it is also difficult to procure. When the China-Vietnam and China-Myanmar routes are cut off, I am afraid that even money will not be able to buy them.
Pieced together and renovated with equipment, the production capacity of the arsenal has indeed been greatly improved. However, the spread has been expanded, not only the needs of the expansion of the three verticals, but also the needs of the surrounding anti-Japanese armed forces, and even the Third Army and the 21st Group Army are reaching out, and the output is still difficult to meet the requirements.
Fortunately, Sun Tongxuan and Liao Lei both took out a large number of bullets and grenades, plus the capture of the previous operations of the Third Column, the production of these two can be compressed to a minimum, and they can go all out to produce weapons and ammunition such as grenade launchers and steel fists, as well as modified heavy mortars.
Bottleneck, and now facing another bottleneck. The expansion of the army, the export of arms to the outside world, and the contradiction between the output of the arsenal.
To finally solve this problem, sooner or later to solve this problem, there is only one way, self-made machinery and equipment, a bumpy and full of hardships.
Yang Tianfeng sighed softly, he knew that he would come to this point, but according to the current level of technology, it may be difficult to achieve it without a year and a half, or even longer!
Before I knew it, time passed quickly, and by the time the staff officer came in to report, more than three hours had passed.
Seeing the telegram sent by Liang Moqing and others, it took less than two hours for Chiang's detachment to uproot the Taiping stronghold, annihilating nearly 300 puppet troops and killing two Japanese advisers. Now, a brigade is left in the Taiping to strengthen the fortifications; The rest of the men and horses were hidden in ambush around the perimeter, preparing to attack the enemy from the county seat.
Yang Tianfeng was not surprised by this, and drafted a callback. After the staff officer left, he was left alone in the room, it was already twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, but he was not sleepy. Thinking that Liao Lei was going to attack Anqing, he picked up his pen again, wrote down the experience of the Sucheng and Kaifeng battles in detail, and prepared to send them to Liao Lei as a reference for the attack on Anqing.
