Chapter 340: Careful Decision
"With so many heavy weapons, it seems that our Liaodong Army is about to expand again......" After listening to Zhang Shanlin's introduction to weapons and ammunition, the excited Yang Xingguo couldn't help but interrupt. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Zhang Shanlin's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly replied: "Commander, you see that so many light machine guns have been captured this time, is it also for our special effects detachment to add some." Although the individual combat capability of the special operations detachment is very strong, because there is no heavy weapon that can suppress the opponent's firepower, it will suffer a great loss when encountering a large force of enemies on the battlefield. ”
The excited Yang Xingguo replied without thinking about it: "Yes...... I've thought about it a long time ago, the special effects detachment will add a fireman and a light machine gun to each squad, and the personnel will be transferred from the three main divisions yourself, and I will be responsible for preparing the equipment for you......"
"Commander Xie......" Zhang Shanlin replied excitedly.
Then, he continued: "I just introduced weapons and ammunition. Weapons and ammunition accounted for only 30% of all materials in Fengcheng, followed by other military supplies that accounted for 70% ......"
"The bulk of these materials contains 25 million catties of grain, which is enough for 100,000 Japanese troops for half a year. I took a look and found that almost all of the more than 20 million catties of soldiers were rice rarely seen in the Northeast, and all of them were shipped from North Korea......"
"The other big head is the quilt, it's already past July, and in two months, the temperature in the northeast will drop. In order to ensure the combat effectiveness of the troops, the Japanese army will prepare winter clothes from now on. According to statistics, the entire warehouse has a total of 80,000 sets of winter clothes and corresponding quilt ......"
"In addition to these two big heads, the warehouse also has 2,000 tents, 10,000 boxes of canned food, and 50,000 catties of refined salt......"
After Zhang Shanlin finished speaking, it took a full five minutes for Yang Xingguo to react from his excitement.
Some people say that Yang Xingguo is not too excited.
In fact, for Yang Xingguo, it is not too much at all.
Let's not talk about those weapons and ammunition that have no price, let's talk about food and clothing. A lot of times it's something that money can't buy.
25 million catties of rice, put in the capital, can definitely be worth a million taels of silver.
If you stay in the Liaodong Army as a military ration, it means that the Liaodong Army will be in the next year and a half. There is no need to worry about food.
The same is true of those winter clothes and quilts, with these winter clothes, under the condition that the Liaodong Army does not expand on a large scale, it can meet the needs of the Liaodong Army for at least two years......
Yang Xingguo was very excited, but Zhang Shanlin, who was standing next to him, was very calm.
Because he knows. Although these materials, weapons and ammunition are now their own, as long as they are not transported back to Liaozhong for a day, there will be many variables in the middle.
Even if Yang Xingguo was very excited now, Zhang Shanlin had to interrupt: "Commander, there are too many materials, weapons and ammunition here...... How to transport it back to Liaozhong, we must find a way to ...... as soon as possible"
Yang Xingguo, who was full of excitement and excitement, finally reacted and asked Zhang Shanlin: "With such a large material storage base, it is impossible to have no means of transportation...... How many transports have we seized in Fengcheng that can be used to transport ......"
"More than 300 carts of a baggage unit, and more than 800 horses were also captured...... Zhang Shanlin quickly replied.
"It's too little......" Yang Xingguo replied without thinking.
"These carts and horses, even if they are all used. It can only transport about two million catties of materials in one round trip...... What's more, the Japanese can't possibly give us that much time to transfer these supplies......"
Having said this, Yang Xingguo's eyes suddenly lit up, and he continued: "Although we don't plan to give up Fengcheng in a short period of time, keep the Japanese army out of Fengcheng. However, if the Japanese are pushed into a hurry, they will also jump over the wall in a hurry......"
"In order to avoid accidents, weapons and ammunition must at least be transported out of the city before the arrival of the Japanese army."
After a short hesitation, Yang Xingguo directly decided: "That's it." You immediately hand over the situation here to Commander Wang, and when the time comes, I will also give him the nearly 3,000 war horses captured by the Second Division on the battlefield, and together they will transport weapons and ammunition to the woods outside the city......"
"Bring out the weapons and ammunition first and hide them in the woods outside the city. Prevent the Japanese dogs from jumping over the wall and blowing up those weapons and ammunition with artillery. ”
"As for the other materials that will not explode on their own, stay in the city for the time being, and we will transport them back little by little after the battle is over......
"As for your special effects detachment, get a hundred light machine guns and 50,000 rounds of ammunition right here, and the machine gunner will figure it out by yourself first. After it's over. Immediately take your special effects detachment to lurk in the mountains and forests outside the city, and closely monitor the movements of the main Japanese army......"
Zhang Shanlin, who looked satisfied, just left with excitement.
Zhong Hu and Zhang Shaozeng rushed over together.
As soon as he saw the excited and expectant expression on Zhong Hu's face, Yang Xingguo knew that Zhang Shaozeng had already told him the news that the artillery was preparing to expand the army.
At this time, before Yang Xingguo could speak, Zhang Shaozeng took the lead in reporting: "Commander, I have transferred a total of 1,000 heavy soldiers from the two divisions, and then 200 gunners who can already operate artillery from other artillery units. Now, the structure of the two artillery regiments is basically neat, and we are waiting for the artillery and the commander to appoint the commander of the regiment......"
Accomplishing a task that is almost impossible in the eyes of many people in such a short period of time proves that Zhang Shaozeng is indeed a rare artillery talent.
Seeing the fanatical expression on Zhang Shaozeng's face again, Yang Xingguo knew that his reactivation of him had given him hope for his future military career in the Liaodong Army.
Not surprisingly, Zhang Shaozeng had only one idea in his heart at the moment, to successfully complete the task he had assigned and strive to be reused by Yang Xingguo.
did not disappoint Zhang Shaozeng, and from the beginning of the preparation of the heavy artillery regiment for further expansion, he had the idea of reactivating Zhang Shaozeng.
The current commander of the artillery regiment, Zhong Hu, is very sincere to himself, very capable, and very motivated, and there may be no problem in commanding an artillery regiment.
However, rashly letting him command an artillery division will definitely go wrong.
So, Yang Xingguo immediately made a decision in his heart to reactivate Zhang Shaozeng and let Zhang Shaozeng help Zhong Hu again.
As for Zhang Shaozeng's second heart to himself, Yang Xingguo thought carefully and believed that as long as he was not in a hostile relationship with Beiyang for a day, Zhang Shaozeng would use it for himself for a day.
The reason why he is so sure and confident is that half a month ago, Zhang Shao told himself that Yuan Shikai once again sent troops to the Liaodong Army, wanting to develop Beiyang forces in the Liaodong Army, and told himself the relevant list. Yang Xingguo can be sure that although Yuan Shikai has the grace of knowing Zhang Shao, as long as there is no accident, Zhang Shaozeng will not betray himself and the Liaodong Army.
Because, Zhang Shao really liked the Liaodong Army...... (To be continued.) )
