Chapter 357: Director Cheng's Gift!

The 2nd Guards Division had no more than 3 infantry wings and 1 artillery wing, adding up to 12,000 men, and he still had two trump cards in his hand.

Although it is said that the Taihang column traveled more than 100 kilometers in two days, and several battles were fought during the period, the troops were a little tired.

But the little devil is not comfortable, he has been attacked and blocked by the Eighth Route Army all the way, and the devil must be more tired.

"You don't have to come and see you." The chief of staff said, "Be sure to complete the mission!" ”

"Yes!" Li Yunlong's expression was solemn.

Next, Li Yunlong communicated with the leaders about the battle plan of the 2nd Guards Division.

Finally, Li Yunlong saluted the boss and the chief of staff, turned around and walked out.

The chief of staff called Li Yunlong: "Wait, where is your belt?" ”

Li Yunlong said: "Report to the chief of staff, my belt was broken last night's rapid march. ”

The chief of staff unfastened the belt around his waist and handed it to Li Yunlong: "The boss doesn't have anything to lift his spirit, so use mine." ”

"Don't, don't, chief, it's not appropriate." Li Yunlong said busily.

"Take it for you, it's an order!" The chief of staff said.

"Yes!" Only then did Li Yunlong take the belt from the chief of staff.

The boss said to Li Yunlong: "Li Yunlong, this belt was brought back by the chief of staff from the Frunze Military Academy, you kid should cherish it." ”

When Li Yunlong heard this, he said: "There is a way to come and not be rude, next time I will give the chief a little devil's general knife." ”

"Haha, good!" The chief of staff nodded and said happily, "I'm waiting for your general's sword!" ”

Li Yunlong pinched the belt in his hand, turned around and walked out, while tying the belt to his waist, Li Yunlong straightened his waist, it is worthy of Frunze's belt, this feeling is different.

came to the headquarters to take the reins and horsewhip from Huang Erhu, and turned over on the horse.

"Drive!" Between the rolling hooves of the horses, the heroic posture of Li Yunlong and Huang Erhu riding horses quickly disappeared at the entrance of the village.

In less than half an hour, Li Yunlong returned to the headquarters of the Taihang Column.

At this time, Zhao Gang, Cheng Shifa, Ding Wei, Kong Jie, Lu Yingjun and others had already gathered, all waiting for Li Yunlong to deploy the combat meeting from the headquarters.

Li Yunlong glanced at everyone, walked quickly to the map, stared at the map and said:

"At present, the devils attacking the Huangyadong Arsenal include the 36th Wing and the 2nd Guards Division."

"This 36th Wing is solved by brother troops, and the 2nd Guards Division is responsible for solving it by our Taihang Column."

"Great!" As soon as these words came out, the corners of Ding Wei, Cheng Shifa and Kong Jieton's mouths were all high.

Although the Taihang Column returned to help solve the 2nd Division, everyone was very excited when they heard this order in person.

"At present, the 2nd Guards Division is only a dozen kilometers away from the Huangyadong Arsenal."

"Arrive at the periphery of the Huangyadong Arsenal at about noon."

Li Yunlong's finger dotted on the map, indicating the current location of the 2nd Guards Division of the Japanese Army.

"Time is tight, the task is heavy, I'll make a long story short."

"The devil is more than ten kilometers northwest of us, and there is only one road into Huangya Cave, from Xiangyangtan, Huojiazhuang and then to the millstone."

"This is to the periphery of our Huangyadong Arsenal."

"Let's do the battlefield of the 2nd Guards Division, here."

Everyone's eyes sank, and when they looked at the map, they saw that the location of Li Yunlong's finger was Huojiazhuang.

The terrain near the Huangyadong Arsenal is vertical and horizontal, and there is a large canyon a few kilometers east of Huangyadong, which is flat from north to south, and the canyon is flanked by steep mountains.

This canyon is the only road from the devil to the arsenal, and the road into the Huangyadong arsenal happens to be in a T-shape with this canyon.

Although there are several trails leading to the arsenal nearby, the mountain trails are difficult to follow and do not allow for heavy weapons and baggage.

And it's also relatively hidden, unless there is a traitor leading the way, the devil will definitely not find out.

"The 3rd Attack Group was ambushed on Siding Mountain, the 2nd Attack Group was ambushed in Xiaozhai, and the 1st Attack Group was ambushed on the hill behind Huojiazhuang."

"The cavalry detoured back to the area of Gujia Village along the path and cut off the enemy's retreat."

"My new main force will be ambushed in front of the devil."

"As soon as the 2nd Guards Division comes in, let's close the door and beat the dogs!"

This cemetery was chosen by the boss and the chief of staff for the 2nd Guards Division of the Japanese Army.

Li Yunlong had just returned from Changzhi, and he didn't have time to reconnoiter the terrain, but fortunately, Li Yunlong had been there several times and was familiar with the terrain there.

However, Li Yunlong still had the final say on the specific assignment of combat tasks, and the head of the headquarters did not interfere.

Then, Li Yunlong looked at Lu Yingjun: "Lu Yingjun, have the artillery positions and false positions been set up?" ”

"Report to the Captain!" Lu Yingjun nodded and said, "It's all set, you can rest assured, then you just need to watch our sword squadron perform." ”

"Good!" Li Yunlong said, "Your sword squadron is doing things, I don't worry!" ”

After a pause, Li Yunlong said again: "You all know your respective tasks, right?" ”

"Clear!" The crowd shouted in unison.

"Any questions?" Li Yunlong glanced at everyone and asked.

"Nope."

"If not, then the meeting will be dismissed!" Li Yunlong said, "By the way, within two hours, all units must arrive at the designated position and prepare for an ambush. ”

The people walked out, then turned on their horses and rode towards where their troops were.

Li Yunlong stared at the map for a while, and was about to order the transfer of the command headquarters, when Huang Erhu walked in and saluted: "Report to the commander-in-chief, Director Cheng wants to see you!" ”

"Director Cheng?" Li Yunlong's mind was still on the map, and he subconsciously asked, "Which Director Cheng?" ”

Huang Erhu said: "It's Director Cheng of our arsenal." ”

Li Yunlong: "Hurry up, please." ”

A moment later, Cheng Mingsheng walked into the headquarters and looked overjoyed when he saw Li Yunlong.

Then the two saluted each other, and Cheng Mingsheng grabbed Li Yunlong's hand tightly and shook it twice.

His face was filled with a warm smile: "Captain Li, long time no see!" ”

Li Yunlong said: "Director Cheng, hello. ”

Cheng Mingsheng said: "If you call Director Cheng, you call me Lao Cheng, what if I call you Lao Li?" ”

"No problem." Li Yunlong said, "Making friends with a great intellectual like Lao Cheng, I, Li Yunlong, am fortunate in my third life." ”

Cheng Mingsheng is an engineer and an international student, to put it mildly, he Li Yunlong is a martial artist, except for the time when he sent the production line, the two had no intersection before.

Cheng Mingsheng said: "Lao Li, you are too modest, who in our Eighth Route Army doesn't know your name?" ”

"Lao Cheng, this battle is about to start, why haven't you evacuated yet?" Li Yunlong still had something to do, so he didn't want to talk to him more, so he quickly changed the topic.

"Evacuate whatever." Cheng Mingsheng said, "Because your Taihang column has returned to help, and the headquarters has ordered our arsenal not to evacuate, and we are currently working overtime to produce weapons and ammunition at full capacity, I came to you this time to give you a gift." ”

"What gift?"

Li Yunlong's tone was surprised, and the director of the secret road Cheng was quite enthusiastic, and he came to see that our old Li still brought gifts.

The corners of Cheng Mingsheng's mouth curled: "I brought you 100 60mm mortars and 20,000 shells." ”

"What?" Li Yunlong's eyes widened, "100 mortars, 20,000 shells? ”

"That's half a month's output of your arsenal, right?"

"If you give it to me, you're not afraid that the head of the headquarters will find you to deliver the goods, and you won't be able to take it out?"

"That is, the output of 10 days of overtime, our arsenal is delivered on a monthly basis, and there are more than 10 days left before the next delivery, and this batch of mortars and shells is lent to you." Cheng Mingsheng said, "When you finish this battle, you can pay me back." ”

"Then thank you, please rest assured, when this battle is over, in addition to returning you 100 mortars and 20,000 shells, there will be a big surprise for you."

Li Yunlong felt a touch of emotion in his heart.

Director Cheng is not afraid that he will be defeated, if these 100 mortars are reimbursed in the battle, he will not be able to hand over the shipment at that time, but he will be punished.

However, Li Yunlong does need these 100 mortars and 20,000 shells now, after all, the stronger the firepower, the more devils can be killed, and the better the chance of victory.

Cheng Mingsheng's eyes lit up, and his tone was full of expectation: "What a surprise, it won't be another production line, right?" ”

Last time it was a mortar and smokeless powder production line, and what is the surprise this time?

"Haha, keep it secret for the time being, and you'll know when the time comes."

Li Yunlong pretended to be a fool, the real situation was that he didn't know what surprise Brother Chen Feng would give him.

The two walked out of the headquarters together, only to see a transport team outside the door, with dozens of fully loaded mule carts, which were the mortars and shells brought by Director Cheng.

"This is my transport team, unloading is too wasteful of time, Lao Li, you can take it directly." Cheng Mingsheng glanced at the transport team, and then looked at Li Yunlong.

"Then you're welcome!" Li Yunlong laughed.

Seeing Director Cheng go away, Li Yunlong retracted his gaze, turned around and ordered the signal corps to inform Zhang Dabiao, Zheng Yu, and Chen Dagu to the headquarters.

Not long after, the three battalion commanders came to the headquarters together.

Li Yunlong divided the 100 mortars equally among the three main infantry battalions.

Although the artillery battalions of the new regiment did not return, there was an artillery company under each of the main infantry battalions.

Although there is not so much artillery, but if the fire is covered, it is only necessary to ask the artillery to adjust the mortar to shoot the yuan, and the infantry only needs to load the shells into the running tube.

The rate of fire of the mortar depends on the proficiency of the gunner.

And there are also plenty of shells, a full 20,000 rounds, that is, 2 bases.

This also made Li Yunlong have to sigh that the only one in the Eighth Route Army who was richer than the new regiment was estimated to be the Huangyadong Arsenal.

In addition to being equipped with 30 60-mm mortars, each soldier was given an average of 50 border grenades.

The freedom of grenades has been truly realized, and in addition, bullets and mortar shells are enough, and the arsenal can be replenished at any time as much as it consumes.

Today's grenades made in this area are very different from those made in the border areas in the past, and the grenades made in the border areas loaded with smokeless gunpowder are no longer as powerful.

Li Yunlong carefully calculated that the 100 60-mm mortars, plus the mortars currently equipped by the regiments, were estimated to be more than 200 mortars and more than 30,000 mortar shells.

This is equivalent to one more trump card in his hand!
