Chapter Eighty-Four: A Lot of Arms
(Thank you for the reward of the book friend Tian Cangye and the wandering bullet, this book is in urgent need of recommendation votes now, please support ^_^ the book friends)
"It's very well thought out, but if the sneak attack fails, a temporary retreat is also a feasible option, after all, the main force will also march towards Tianjin tomorrow, as long as you can watch the enemy and don't let you escape, you will complete the task." , Hu Weidong said with a smile, "You have to understand that for special forces, it is not necessary to choose to fight every time, as long as they can achieve their goals, it is also a good choice to borrow liliang from friendly forces, neutral parties and even enemies." If you are born in a combat unit and come to the special forces, you will always be accustomed to solving problems with your own force, but as the chief general of the special forces, you can't blindly rely on force, it is not easy to train a special forces, and it would be a pity if you die easily."
On the other hand, it wasn't until the evening of the next day that all kinds of materials in Fengtai's inventory were basically counted, even though Hu Weidong had already been mentally prepared, he couldn't help but be taken aback after seeing the list, "Even if all the material reserves of the Japanese army in North China are placed in Fengtai, there won't be so many, right?" The total number of troops stationed in North China is less than 2,000, even if you count the spies, soldiers in the township, the garrison in the concession and the armed Japanese overseas, it will definitely not be used so much, could it be that the supplies of the thousands of Kwantung Army on the periphery of Pingjin are also here? But even so, it is still too much, could it be that the Japanese army has long been preparing to launch a full-scale war, so first transport the weapons and ammunition needed by the troops here for storage, and when they need to increase their troops, they only need to transport troops, and the speed is much faster? In this way, it is easy to understand, but such an important stronghold, only a hundred and ten gendarmes were stationed there, and they were not afraid of being picked up? Alas, it is no wonder that the Japanese army is so rampant, it seems that no Chinese army has dared to take the initiative to attack the Japanese army before, and the Japanese army is invincible, in fact, our Chinese army is used to it"
"There are 240mm caliber heavy howitzers and 270mm caliber super heavy mortars, judging from the quantity, it should be a field heavy artillery brigade or a "special" (Note 1) artillery wing, which is generally directly subordinate to the army-level and even the front-level army-level headquarters! Hu Weidong looked at the list of seizures in surprise and muttered secretly, "8 240mm heavy howitzers, 8 270mm super heavy mortars, 8 150mm field cannons, 24 105mm field cannons, 36 150mm howitzers, and 96 105mm field guns Although light artillery and light weapons are basically invisible, judging from the number of heavy artillery, this warehouse is almost for Japan's one field heavy artillery brigade and two elite (Note 2) permanent divisions. That is, the troops of an army are prepared, and we can be regarded as getting rich overnight."
The Fengtai warehouse not only has a large number of artillery guns, but also a large amount of ammunition in stock, taking the 240mm heavy howitzer as an example, each cannon is equipped with a full 800 shells (equivalent to 2 battle parts, 40 ammunition base). The total number of shells stored in the entire warehouse reached a staggering 300,000 rounds (excluding tank shells). In addition, there are 21 medium tanks, 30 light tanks and 30 armored vehicles in the Fengtai warehouse, as well as more than 500 vehicles of various types (including large tractors for heavy artillery) and more than 30,000 barrels of fuel
"Probably the devil is unlucky and comes in handy quickly, so now there is basically only heavy equipment, and the anti-aircraft guns used for air defense are nowhere to be found, and if we wait a few more months, these weapons will definitely be able to capture a lot." , Hu Weidong couldn't help but smile dumbly when he thought of this, "I'm too greedy, if I remember correctly, in another month or two, the devil's garrison in Fengtai will increase to more than 2,000 people, and at that time, it will be impossible for the special combat team to completely seize this arsenal, and the most haode result is just to blow it up, how can there be a bumper harvest now?" It's not easy to take advantage of the time difference to get these gains. ”
In the eyes of expert Hu Weidong, these munitions are not only amazing, but also the quality is nothing to say, almost all of them are the latest models of Japan, of which 24 Type 92 105mm field cannons are Shijie first-class field heavy artillery, and others such as 96 Type 91 105mm field guns, 8 Type 96 Type 240mm heavy howitzers are also very classic Japanese artillery models in history, even if it is a Type 89 medium tank with thin skin and big stuffing, The Type 95 light tank and the Type 92 cavalry armored vehicle are also considered to be the best of the same type of equipment in the Japanese army at present...,
Hu Weidong, who was smiling, was complacent, and suddenly his face changed, and he shouted, "It's not good, it's broken now, Xu Chengji and them."
Hu Weidong finally realized that the weapons and ammunition he had seized this time were too much, and the Japanese military department had to go crazy when they learned about it. In order to prevent the Chinese army from becoming stronger, they will definitely do their best to recover or destroy these arms, and even a full-scale war with China in advance for this is not impossible, which means that the Japanese army may directly bomb Fengtai at the risk of fighting with the 29th Army to prevent future troubles.
If Xu Chengji and the others had not attacked the Japanese headquarters, perhaps the Japanese North China Garrison Army Headquarters would have tried to recapture Fengtai out of luck, and would not immediately report the truth to the military headquarters, but as soon as Xu Chengji and them made a move, whether they succeeded or not, they would have made the Japanese side realize the strength of the Red 15th Army (otherwise it would have been impossible to have the courage to attack the Japanese headquarters), and at that time, the Japanese high-level who realized that it was impossible to recapture the arms would inevitably send the air force to bomb Fengtai to prevent future troubles. With the more than 7,000 tons of artillery shells in the Fengtai warehouse, even if only one bomb hits, the series of casualties caused by it is enough to inflict heavy losses on the Red 15th Army
Note 1: The "special" here refers to those Japanese troops named after the place, which belong to a special establishment, generally super-strong independent infantry brigades or fortress heavy artillery units, such troops are equivalent to the brigade level of other troops, and if it is a brigade level, the strength is equivalent to the division and regiment level
Note 2: The general Japanese army has a permanent horse-pulling division (the number of packhorse divisions is very small, so it will not be discussed here.) The field artillery wing is equipped with 36 75mm field guns and 105mm field guns, but elite divisions such as the Guards Division and the Fifth Division have replaced 105mm field guns with 150mm howitzers and 75mm field guns with 105mm field guns, so the firepower is extremely powerful. Of course, this was limited to the early stage of the Anti-Japanese War, and after 38 years, due to the rapid expansion of the Japanese army, the artillery of the newly built divisions and regiments was generally insufficient, so the large-caliber artillery was concentrated directly under the army and the front army to facilitate mobile use.
In addition, it is added that the permanent divisions are not necessarily elite divisions, and even the permanent divisions with high combat effectiveness may not be, such as the combat effectiveness of the 6th Division (birds and beasts belong to beasts, and the combat effectiveness is indeed very strong. It was able to enter the top 5 in the Japanese army, but because the Japanese military department discriminated against troops in poor areas, even in the early days of the Anti-Japanese War, most of the artillery guns equipped by the field artillery wing under the 6th Division were 75mm caliber
