After sighing about the equipment obtained from the Yankees, the company commanders of each battalion rolled their eyes and carefully started the idea of this batch of weapons.

Wang Leihu, the commander of the first battalion, was the first to speak, and he didn't pay attention to anything else, so he immediately hugged the two mortars and said:

"Comrades, we have to pay attention to the first to come first to come this time to distribute this batch of equipment, I am the first to take a fancy to these two M2 60mm mortars, none of you should rob me, whoever robs me will be in a hurry!"

Shen Quan said: "I said Lei Hu, can we have a little bit of interest, can you change this old problem?" ”

"When you see good things, you can get started, the current equipment situation of your first battalion, there are still these two mortars missing?"

Wang Leihu retorted: "Old Shen, what you say is better than what you sing, I don't believe your idea of not hitting these two guns, this US army's 60 mortar is much better than the 60 mortar of the national army, better than our 50 small artillery, farther, more powerful, and heavier." ”

"Not to mention, if each platoon of us can be equipped with two of these 60 mortars, the firepower strike capability will immediately be upgraded to a higher level."

"The most important thing is that this kind of 60 mortar is lightweight, the total weight is only thirty or forty pounds, and it is easy to conceal, two soldiers carry it and run, whether it is fighting guerrilla warfare or mountain warfare, this kind of small-caliber mortar is much better than the bulky 82 mm mortar we commonly use."

The fourth battalion commander Lei Dasheng said: "Hehe, the first battalion commander, since you have said all the benefits, then we can't let these two guns go, how to divide them, we still have to listen to the regiment commander." ”

"Yes! If you want to talk about the equipment of our battalions and the level of sophistication, how can they compare with your first and second battalions? ”

Wang Huaibao, the commander of the third battalion, took the opportunity to speak, but his words were quite a bit of adding fuel and vinegar.

The fifth battalion commander Du Aiguo smiled as usual and said nothing.

The company commanders didn't have that much appetite, and soon set their sights on the remaining heavy machine guns, light machine guns, and some sniper rifles.

Tao Shunmin, the commander of the seventh company, set his sights on the American-style pump-action shotgun, and a rather perfect plan even came to his mind, he wanted to use this trench gun to form an assault team to quickly clean the trenches.

The courtyard of the regiment headquarters soon became hot.

In the end, Kong Jie couldn't stand it anymore, and scolded with a cold face:

"Look at your appearances one by one, what you know is that you all want to try this American-style equipment, and those who don't know think that our independent regiment is the same as a year ago, ammunition is scarce in the army, the equipment is backward, and you have never seen the world, so you will treat it as a treasure and refuse to let go if you hold some American-style equipment!"

"Take a long-term view, just this bit of equipment, where is this?"

"After we do business with the Yankees, this batch of arms can be increased tenfold or even twenty times."

"All battalions and companies are incapable of equipment, and if you really have the courage, dare to say that your company can give full play to the power of these equipment."

"I just equip our independent regiment as a whole into a U.S. weapons regiment, what's not to do?"

Speaking of this, seeing the battalion commanders and company commanders sneering to put the equipment in their hands on the ground, Kong Jie continued:

"As for this batch of equipment, I have already thought about it, and I will equip it all on the mountain company."

"Mountain Company?"

The cadres were confused.

Kong Jie said: "It was the mountain company that Han Feng brought to Zhongtiao Mountain to fight a month ago. ”

Han Feng was originally the deputy company commander of the third battalion, and as Han Feng's old battalion commander, Wang Huaibao immediately echoed with a smile:

"If you equip the mountain company, regiment commander, this is the first time I agree, in fact, there are no large-scale operations in our base area during this time, and most of this batch of equipment is idle in our hands.

On the contrary, the battle in the Zhongtiao Mountain area is still hot, and this batch of equipment can be sent over to the greatest use. ”

The other battalion commanders were speechless, what your boss Wang said soundly, who doesn't know that this Han Feng was originally the deputy company commander of your third battalion, and this equipped mountain company didn't fall into your own bowl?

Kong Jie didn't bother to pay attention to the careful thinking of the cadres, nodded, and said:

"Yes, that's one of the reasons."

"The other one I also want to see how much power this batch of American-style equipment can exert under the hands of the mountain company if it is equipped to the mountain company."

"Just a few days ago, the communications platoon sent out by the regimental headquarters had already made contact with Han Feng's mountain company.

During this time, although Han Feng and his entourage jumped out of the encirclement of the Japanese army again and again, there were also many wounded soldiers in the team, and they needed to be urgently sent back to the base area for treatment. ”

"I am ready to provide a batch of equipment to the mountain company, including the American equipment in front of me, plus some new explosives and firearms to support Han Feng's guerrilla operations in the Zhongtiao Mountain area."

As he spoke, Kong Jie looked at several battalion commanders again: "Han Feng led the mountain company to fight mountain warfare and guerrilla warfare in the area of Zhongtiao Mountain, which is very important for our independent regiment to accumulate experience in mountain warfare. ”

"At present, our main base area tends to be stable, and the combat environment used for training troops is not as good as Zhongtiao Mountain."

"I thought about it, this time, when I sent this batch of equipment to the mountain company, I will also transfer some military backbones and soldiers from your battalions who have been in the army for about half a year, between recruits and veterans, and rush to Zhongtiao Mountain to support the mountain company at the same time, and carry out training along the way."

"The more complex and precipitous the battlefield, the faster you can hone a steel warrior."

"This training ground in the Zhongtiao Mountain area, your battalions are going to seize the opportunity."

"In addition, the wounded veterans who were sent back from the mountain company, after their injuries healed, the experience they accumulated in mountain warfare in Nakajo Mountain is quite valuable, so that they can lead new recruits and pass on the experience of mountain warfare."

As soon as these words came out, the battalion commanders naturally moved their minds, and immediately made up their minds, and after returning to the battalion, they immediately took out their troops and sent them to Zhongtiao Mountain with this batch of ammunition.

……

Jinnan.

The area of Mt. Nakajo.

With the passage of time, the Battle of Zhongtiao Mountain has gradually come to an end, and the main force of the Japanese First Army in Shanxi has also begun to gradually withdraw from the Zhongtiao Mountain area.

Only part of the troops need to be left to garrison Zhongtiao Mountain to guard against the counterattack of the national army.

More of the main forces were re-stationed in Taiyuan City and the surrounding areas to deal with the troops of the Eighth Route Army.

In this Zhongtiao Mountain operation, the Japanese army was undoubtedly in its heyday, but during the Japanese First Army's operation to Jinnan, the troops of the Eighth Route Army were not idle.

It's kind of a backyard fire.

First of all, the Eighth Route Army in the Taihang and Taiyue areas did not know what was going crazy, so they suddenly turned from defense to offensive, breaking the Japanese army's military blockade of the Eighth Route Army's base areas in many places, and taking the initiative to attack some remote villages and towns.

Immediately afterwards, the Iron Triangle in the northwest of the Jin Dynasty began to do things again, and actually besieged Ping'an County, and with the help of Ping'an County, a siege point was sent to help, which severely damaged the Japanese army's multi-way reinforcements.

In the end, the independent regiment even made it cold to conquer Ping'an County in one fell swoop.

This was another time that the county town was captured by the Eighth Route Army since the Japanese army implemented long-term law and order in North China.

When the headquarters was analyzing the situation, although the words of Yoshio Shinozuka, commander of the First Army of the Japanese Army in Shanxi, were calm, everyone among the Japanese officers could feel the monstrous anger contained in the commander's calm words.

"The first time was during the sabotage operation of the Eighth Route Army, and it was also this independent regiment that used the cavalry company to surprise attack Quxian, the transportation hub of the imperial troops."

"The second time was during the sweep in April, when this independent regiment used the tactics of changing homes to raid Yangquan and other county seats."

"At present, Ping'an County has been defeated by the Independent Regiment, and this is the third time that the Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army has captured the county occupied by our army."

"A small Eighth Route Corps-level combat unit has defeated three different county towns occupied by our army three times, although it is only temporary, but this is already a great shame for our first army."

Then, the chief of staff of the First Army of the Japanese Army in Shanxi, Beichuan Bushi, talked about the actions of the Eighth Route Army around Taihang Genqi during the Battle of Zhongtiao Mountain from the direction of Taiyuan City.

The public security situation around Taihang was analyzed to the Japanese officers.

"After our army launched a combat operation to encroach on the Eighth Route Army outside the occupied counties and the vast rural areas of China, the Eighth Route Army also launched a targeted anti-encroachment campaign."

"These eight roads are very cunning, and they have set up one army after another behind enemy lines in the guerrilla areas of their villages, and continue to implement what they call three points of military and seven points of politics.

Militarily, we will continue to confront our imperial forces, and politically, we will use the anti-encroachment campaign to dismantle the administrative power we have established in various villages during the encroachment movement, and attempt to disintegrate the Imperial Allied Army and the auxiliary army units controlled by our army by co-opting, tempting, and threatening. ”

"Especially during the nearly one-month period when the main force of our First Army moved to Zhongtiao Mountain, the Eighth Route Army around Taihang and Taiyue became more and more rampant, and with the help of temporary military advantages, the pace of anti-encroachment was accelerated."

"So far, the situation in the vast villages around our base camp Taiyuan City has long been not optimistic."

Listening to the information brought by Kitagawa Bushi, all the Japanese officers looked solemn.

Yoshio Shinozuka's mood also became a little impetuous, and the sound of the finger knocking on the table, which was still rhythmic, gradually became chaotic.

After a while, Yoshio Shinozuka seemed to have made up his mind and said:

"We can't wait any longer, the Battle of Zhongtiao Mountain has ended, and with the decline of the national army's disastrous defeat, the possibility of regrouping and fighting back is almost none."

"As for the remaining national army and the guerrillas of the Eighth Route Army in the Zhongtiao Mountain area, it is enough to deal with them slowly, and it is by no means a wise move to continue to drag the main force of our army here."

"The follow-up main force will begin to drive in the direction of Taiyuan City from tomorrow."

"Now that the external troubles have been eliminated, it is time to deal with the internal worries, there is an old Chinese saying, how can others be allowed to sleep soundly next to the couch? If the tumor of the Eighth Route Army is not eradicated, I am afraid that it will cause our imperial troops to be terminally ill. ”

"This time, the Central Army of Zhongtiao Mountain has been solved, and the southward march channel has been opened, and after the main force returns to help, you can free up your hands and clean up the Eighth Route Army!"

"Hey—"

The devil officers who were at the meeting stood up and responded in unison......
