When Zhang Yunfei quietly touched into the 5th warehouse, he finally found that it was different, he smelled a strong smell of engine oil as soon as he came in, and after coming in, he found that there were some large wooden boxes inside, the length and height were different, the large wooden boxes were three or four meters long, more than two meters high, and the small ones were only more than one meter long and less than one meter high.

Zhang Yunfei gently pulled out his dagger, gently pried open a small wooden box, and then the moonlight, saw that it was a half-new machine tool inside, and pried open several boxes in a row, which were also machinery and equipment.

Zhang Yunfei touched several other warehouses playfully, and they were full of machinery and equipment. Seeing these, I remembered the Taiyuan Defense War that broke out in November last year, the Taiyuan Defense War finally ended in [***] defeat, part of the equipment in the Taiyuan Arsenal was transported out, but most of it fell into the hands of the army, according to the understanding of later history, most of the equipment of the Taiyuan Arsenal was transported back to the mainland and Shenyang by the army.

According to Zhang Yunfei's understanding, the Taiyuan Arsenal is an arsenal opened by Yan Xishan in Shanxi to manufacture guns and ammunition, and the Taiyuan Arsenal, Shenyang Arsenal and Hanyang Arsenal are the three major arsenals in the history of the Republic of China. Yan Xishan's ability to rule Shanxi for 38 years was directly related to the Taiyuan Arsenal to manufacture weapons and ammunition for him, and then recruit troops and horses to expand his power.

From 1928 to 1930, the monthly output of the Taiyuan Arsenal was: 35 light and heavy guns, 100 mortars, 3,000 rifles, 15 machine guns, 900 submachine guns, 15,000 shells, 9,000 mortar shells, and 4.2 million bullets. Yan Xishan relied on these weapons and equipment to grow the Jin army to 300,000 troops, and had the spare power to sell weapons to Li Zongren, Ma Hongkui, Ma Bufang and other warlords from other provinces at high prices.

Although this is only part of the equipment of the Taiyuan Arsenal, it is enough to make my heart pound, the eight-year War of Resistance, the Eighth Road fought so hard, and was even jokingly called "swimming" but not attacking by [***]. This is directly related to the poor equipment of the Eighth Route Army, at that time, the Kuomintang did not replenish the Eighth Route Army, and all the equipment of the Eighth Route Army was captured, and it was remarkable that it was able to persist in the eight-year arduous War of Resistance and develop and grow step by step.

With these machines and equipment, if we can produce guns and cannons, will this War of Resistance change, and will the entire history of the War of Resistance change? Thinking of this, Zhang Yunfei only felt that his blood was boiling, and it took a while before he gradually calmed down his excitement, and quietly withdrew from the big warehouse of the army.

After meeting with the pillar outside, Zhang Yunfei returned to the 718 regiment overnight.

The headquarters of the 718th Regiment is brightly lit, and all the battalion and company commanders were summoned by Zhang Yunfei overnight for an emergency combat meeting, and the machinery and equipment in the little ghost warehouse are not waiting for anyone, in case they are transported away by the little devil early tomorrow morning, it will be too late to cry.

In the center of the large war room of the regiment headquarters is a huge sand table with a length and width of several meters, and in the center of the sand table is a three-dimensional topographic map of several hundred miles in the vicinity, which has been reduced countless times according to the ratio, and the entire terrain is vivid, and there are on every mountain, village, town, river, and road, which lasted more than a month, and Zhang Yunfei guided the soldiers to work hard to complete.

Looking at the commanders of the battalions and companies with solemn expressions around him, Zhang Yunfei pointed to the topographic map and said: "Comrades, today I went to the county seat and went to the little devil's warehouse to take a walk, what did you say you found in the little devil's warehouse?" ”

The battalion and company commanders listened to the regiment commander and went to the little devil's warehouse to take a stroll, looked at Zhang Yunfei's relaxed expression, and said one after another, some said that there was a big ocean in the little devil's warehouse, some said that there was machine guns, and some said that there was food, and for a while, the whole war room resounded with a discussion.

Seeing that everyone was talking, Zhang Yunfei raised his hands and made a gesture of pressing down slightly, and suddenly everyone stopped discussing, and immediately the entire war room was silent.

Zhang Yunfei nodded with satisfaction and said: "Everyone guessed well, there are food, munitions and clothing in the little devil's warehouse, in addition to some machinery and equipment from the former Taiyuan Arsenal, what do you say we should do." ”

"Rob the damn," Qian Long, the commander of the third battalion, said loudly.

"yes, fuck it." The battalion and company commanders echoed loudly.

"Okay, then rob the fuck." Zhang Yunfei said with a solemn face.

After waiting for a while, moistening his throat, Zhang Yunfei said with a straight face: "Now arrange the combat mission." ”

Hearing that the regiment commander had assigned a combat mission, the battalion and company commanders immediately stood up and became serious.

"Order, all battalions and companies immediately assembled, bring enough ammunition and dry food, immediately set out, attack Xin'an County, the guard company stayed on guard at the regimental headquarters, and the special combat team set off first to infiltrate Xin'an County to attack the headquarters of the little devils. The units assembled at the regimental headquarters two hours later. Zhang Yunfei said.

The political commissar saw that Zhang Yunfei had issued a combat order, and said to Zhang Yunfei worriedly: "Regiment commander, do you ask the brigade headquarters for such a big military operation, if the above blames it, we can't explain it." ”

Hearing what the political commissar said, Zhang Yunfei pondered for a while and said: "Then let's report to the brigade headquarters, but whether the brigade headquarters agrees or not, I will go to the county seat, and I will bear the responsibility if something goes wrong." ”

Hearing what the regiment commander said, the political commissar Fang Zheng shook his head helplessly, walked to the confidential room, and sent a report to the brigade headquarters to report the situation.

After the meeting was adjourned, the battalion and company commanders rode back to their respective stations and rallied their troops.

At present, 1,500 people of the recruit company of the 718th Regiment have been incorporated into the battalions, and the new veterans of the 718th Regiment plus a small 3,000 people, four infantry battalions, an artillery battalion, and a guard company directly under the regiment, a special combat team.

Each infantry battalion has 3 infantry companies, and a heavy firepower company, the battalion is directly under the guard platoon, communication squad, slapper squad, etc., each infantry company has more than 160 people, 3 platoons and 9 infantry squads, and each infantry squad has a crooked machine gun; The heavy fire company was equipped with 6 Type 92 heavy machine guns and 6 crooked machine guns; The slapper squad is armed with 3 60-mm slapper guns.

The infantry battalion has more than 700 people, the number is obviously a reinforced battalion, and the weapons and equipment can also be compared with an infantry brigade of little devils.

The artillery battalion is currently equipped with 12 Type 92 infantry guns, although the current artillery is a little less, but the artillery shells are sufficient, and the personnel are also the establishment of the artillery battalion, with more than 500 people in the battalion and more than 100 horses, which are mainly used to transport artillery shells and tow infantry guns.

At present, the new and old soldiers of the whole regiment have been fully dispersed, and each squad has several veterans and new recruits, and there is a situation in which the old and the new are replaced. Zhang Yunfei wants to make these recruits see blood and grow up quickly by fighting this battle.

Two hours later, the whole group assembled and began to set off, and the team formed a long line in the night, heading towards Xin'an County.

At dawn, the whole regiment was less than 1 kilometer away from the county seat, and the county town of Xin'an in the distance was still silent in the early morning......

Xin'an County, the military headquarters, Ozawa Taro fought with the two comfort women who accompanied the army last night, and he didn't fall asleep in a daze until the second half of the night, when suddenly there was a quick knock on the door outside, which woke up Taro Ozawa, who was sleeping soundly.

Pushing away the two comfort women next to him, Ozawa got out of bed in his clothes, and said angrily: "Baga, who is it!" ”

The frightened voice of the chief of staff sounded outside: "Your Excellency Captain, according to the report of the forward observation post, a large number of troops of the Eighth Route Army have appeared in the east of Xin'an County, estimated to be two or three thousand people. ”

Hearing the report of the chief of staff, Taro Ozawa was also frightened into a cold sweat, and hurriedly opened the door to let the chief of staff in.

There is no natural military barrier in Xin'an County, and the whole county does not even have a city wall, so it is difficult to defend, but fortunately, when he was stationed in Xin'an County, in order to prevent the eight-way attack in the Taihang Mountains in the east, he built a defensive position on the southeast and northwest sides of Xin'an County, hoping to block the attack of the Eight Roads, as long as he held on for two days, Datong's reinforcements would arrive.

Thinking of this, Taro Ozawa was a little relieved, and for the sake of insurance, he said to the chief of staff: "Order, the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Infantry Squadrons enter the eastern defensive position, and the 4th Infantry Squadron is responsible for defending the south, west, and north sides of the guard to prevent a sneak attack by the Eighth Route Army." At the same time, hurry up and send a telegram to His Excellency the division commander asking for reinforcements. ”

"Hey, I'll just go deliver the order." The chief of staff bowed his head and said.

"Hurry up." Taro Ozawa waved his hand eagerly......

Brigade Commander Chen of the 359th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army was furious, and had just received a telegram from the political commissar of the 719th Regiment that Zhang Yunfei had led more than 2,000 people of the 719th Regiment an hour ago to mobilize troops without the consent of his superiors and attack the county town of Xin'an, where an infantry brigade was stationed.

Lost his temper, calmed down Brigade Commander Chen looked at the location of Xin'an County on the map, this location is only a few hundred miles away from Datong, although the weather is cold now, there is ice and snow on the road, but as long as the battle starts, the army of Xin'an County will definitely ask for help from Datong, the cavalry wing and motorized troops of the army can rush to Xin'an County within one day, and the follow-up troops will also arrive at Xin'an County within two days.

It's a real headache to think about, this Zhang Yunfei is too unorganized and disciplined, wait until the battle is over and see how I clean you up, Brigade Commander Chen thought fiercely.

It seems that the situation can only be reported to the headquarters to see which unit is closest to Datong and whether it can prevent the enemy from reinforcing it.

Soon, the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army in the northwest of Shanxi Province received a telegram from the 359 Brigade, and the deputy commander-in-chief was also very annoyed when he saw the content of the telegram, but as the deputy commander-in-chief, he could not easily get angry.

Seeing the anger in the belly of the deputy commander-in-chief, the deputy chief of staff said earnestly: "Boss, although this Zhang Yunfei has a poor surname of organization and discipline, he is a tiger general, two months ago, he annihilated more than 500 little devils with the strength of a battalion. ”

"No matter how much you can fight, you have to obey the organization, this head can't be opened, and when this battle is over, I will take care of this Zhang Yunfei's temper," the deputy commander-in-chief said.

"Boss, no matter what, you still have to save this Zhang Yunfei, after all, this is the strength of a regiment, more than 2,000 people, it would be a pity if the little devil ate it." The Deputy General Staff said with regret.

"Hmph, the little devil wants to eat one of my main regiments, I see that he lacks a pair of good teeth. In this way, order the 386 Brigade Reading Regiment, which is closest to Datong, to block the enemy's reinforcements, and let Zhang Yunfei, a boy from Leng finish the work. The deputy commander-in-chief said.
