[Anti-Japanese Iron Blood King] Chapter 606: Return to Southern Hebei (Ask for subscription!) , ask for a monthly pass, ask for everything! ）

The journey back to Guisui from eastern Hebei was relatively smooth, although the Japanese planes would come out from time to time to harass along the way, but the convoy most of the time took advantage of the night to act, so the impact of the Japanese planes on the convoy was not very large, and it did not cause much loss.

On October 3, after four days and four nights of galloping, more than 300 cars finally returned to Zhangjiakou.

After returning to Zhangjiakou, Ma Zheng had the opportunity to check what Li Lanqing had bought for him, and Ma Zheng was stunned when he saw the list of goods sent by Wilson.

The first thing that catches your eye is a production line of Thompson submachine guns, model M1928A1, named after General John Thompson, one of the founders of the American Automatic Weapons Corporation, but was actually designed by the Americans Perth and Oakkhoff in his design team, aiming to develop an automatic weapon for the military to replace the bolt-action rifle that was popular at the time.

After the outbreak of World War I, General Thompson's design team abandoned the complex air-conductive structure in view of the characteristics of the Browning automatic rifle of the United States Expeditionary Force, which was not suitable for trench and barbed wire warfare, and adopted the design of automatic weapons with a simple structure and a free bolt structure with few moving parts. However, the automatic weapon with free bolt structure can only fire pistol bullets with a small charge and low chamber pressure, and if a rifle bullet is used, the bolt will be fired prematurely, and the chamber pressure will cause the cartridge case to burst, so the design team finally chose the 11.43 mm high-power pistol cartridge with a straight barrel, which is an important secret of the success of the Thompson submachine gun.

The early development product of the submachine gun is the M1919 type, codenamed "Destroyer No. 1", its earliest production model is the M1921 type, and later the M1923, M1928/M1928A1, M1 and M1A1 series appeared, in short, this is a very good submachine gun, and it is also the most needed supplementary firepower of the Suicha Military Region.

In addition to these, Ma Zheng also saw the Czech-style light machine gun production line and smokeless gunpowder production line on the list of materials, in addition to a large number of machine tools and other equipment, and more importantly, some mining and steelmaking equipment, and these things are industrial equipment that China cannot produce, which is very important for the Suicha Military Region at this time.

Although he took a lot of risks this time to go to Jidong, and even almost became a prisoner of the Japanese, when Ma Zheng saw so many weapons and equipment and industrial equipment, he immediately felt that this risk was worth it.

With these equipment, the industrial production capacity of the Suicha Military Region will be greatly enhanced. You must know that at this time, the weapons and equipment of all units of the Suicha Military Region are no less than any field division of the Japanese army, even if they are not inferior to the ace divisions and regiments that the Japanese army first formed. However, a reorganized division under Ma Zheng's command still could not fight with a field division of the Japanese army, and a very important reason was that it was limited by the industrial production capacity of the Suicha Military Region.

If the industrial production capacity is weak, the ability to produce and replenish weapons and equipment will be weak, and at the same time, the speed of replenishment of ammunition will not be as fast as that of others, and the combat effectiveness will naturally be inferior to that of others.

Besides, such a huge army will not work at all by capturing alone, and it was good in the past, every battle must be gained, and at least it will not be "compensated". But during this time, Ma Zheng found that the Japanese army also seemed to have discovered some problems, and whenever there was no hope of escape, they would use up all the bullets as soon as possible, and all the heavy equipment would be blown up, and Ma Zheng's department would never be left with a single ammunition to replenish.

Therefore, since the end of the Jinbei Campaign, the Suicha Military Region has consumed one-third of the ammunition in its stockpile, and the capture is very limited. If this batch of weapons production lines can be put into production quickly, it will be of immeasurable help to the Suicha Military Region.

The convoy has arrived in Zhangjiakou, so it is equivalent to a safe place, so Ma Zheng did not continue to escort the convoy to Guisui, but led the guards directly south from Zhangjiakou and returned to the Shandong front. As for Wilson and the others, Ma Zheng handed them over to the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army and asked them to send Wilson and the others back to the United States.

Looking back at the situation in southern Hebei, although the territory in southern Hebei has been packaged and sold to Shi Yousan, it does not mean that Ma Zheng no longer cares about these places. On the contrary, Ma Zheng paid more attention to the reconnaissance and control of the southern Hebei region, after all, Shi Yousan is what kind of virtue Ma Zheng knows best, this wall grass has long been eye-to-eye with the Japanese, who can guarantee that this guy will not defect to the enemy and commit treason.

Of course, Ma Zheng's subordinates were concerned in secret, and on the surface, all three brigades of the Shandong Independent Division withdrew from southern Hebei.

In fact, Shi Yousan was also surprised that the Eighth Route Army had withdrawn so quickly, but soon Shi Yousan was relieved. In his opinion, there are no more than two reasons why the Eighth Route Army sold southern Hebei, the first is that he wants to use him Shi Yousan to resist the counterattack of the Japanese, and the other is that the Eighth Route Army is close to running out of oil and the lamp is extinguished, and he can't hold on.

As everyone knows, the Eighth Route Army lacked medical care and medicine, and there was a serious shortage of ammunition and ammunition, and only half of the ammunition was distributed, and even a larger battle could not be sustained.

And the war in southern Hebei lasted for nearly a month, not to mention that the bitter Eighth Route Army couldn't bear it, even he, a dignified lieutenant general of the regular army, couldn't afford to fight. The Eighth Route Army's running out of ammunition and food was almost predictable, as long as a military commander with a brain could imagine it.

It can be said that in order to go south to such a large territory in southern Hebei, the Eighth Route Army worked hard, and both the Kuomintang and the Communist Party saw the situation of hard fighting for more than a month. The Eighth Route Army in southern Hebei fought hard for a month and finally took southern Hebei, and if the Japanese were to capture it like this, the Eighth Route Army would definitely not be willing. And the Eighth Route Army itself did not have the strength to compete with the Japanese army, and at this time, he was a lieutenant general with the support of the Nationalist Government and close to southern Hebei.

Shi Yousan is a realistic person who doesn't believe in vanity like friendship. In his mind, he was calculating others except himself, he didn't believe that the Eighth Route Army would really hand over a huge area in southern Hebei to him, the Eighth Route Army just wanted to use him Shi Yousan to attract the Japanese army's firepower and consume the strength of the Japanese army, while the Eighth Route Army itself was hiding in the safe rear to recuperate.

Although Shi Yousan had already thought of this, the temptation to take down southern Hebei was still too tempting, so that Shi Yousan couldn't help jumping in knowing that it was a trap.

With Shi Yousan's rich experience in struggle, it is easy to think of the next problem he will face, and a large number of Japanese troops will definitely go south to clean up the mess in southern Hebei, and he, a newly baked anti-Japanese hero, will definitely bear the brunt.

However, Shi Yousan is not worried, he knows his current situation very well. Although the Japanese wanted to "regain the lost territory", the Nationalist Government, which had been hit hard, needed a big victory to redeem its political and military stubbornness, and then his position as Shi Yousan would be much more sensitive, and he could not ****** not send a large army to rescue him.

Moreover, Shi Yousan has another secret that no one knows, that is, since the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, he has been in secret contact with the Japanese. In the past, it was because the Japanese were victorious in military affairs, and they disdained a little minion like him, and the Japanese Imperial Army still looked down on the 10,000 miscellaneous soldiers in his hand, so the two sides could not agree on the conditions for surrender.

However, since last year, the Japanese army has suffered major setbacks in the Suicha area one after another, so it seems much more sincere to win over Shi Yousan.

However, at this time, Shi Yousan also saw the stubbornness of the Japanese, but he hesitated, who had always been cautious. So that matter was put on hold, so that now his situation seemed dangerous, but there was a lot to be done. It's a big deal that when the time comes, turn against each other and unite with the Japanese to counterattack the Nationalist Government, no matter what he does, he Shi Yousan will not suffer, so why not.

However, to Shi Yousan's surprise, it had been almost ten days since the North China Front retreated to the Shanxi-Hebei border, but they still hadn't seen any action. Neither launched a battle to recover Taiyuan against Yan Laoxi in the Second War Zone, nor did he continue to attack his territory in the south, which made Shi Yousan a little confused.
