The reason for the ecstasy of Principal Chang and Yan Baichuan.

It was because the Eighth Route Army suffered heavy casualties and almost ran out of ammunition.

They also knew that the Eighth Route Army had so-called outside assistance, but according to intelligence, they also knew that the Eighth Route Army's outside assistance was limited.

Such a little outside aid is just a drop in the bucket in the face of the attrition of such a big battle.

In the Battle of Taierzhuang, the 290,000 troops of the National Army fought 50,000 Japanese troops, and more than 10,000 Japanese soldiers were killed and wounded at the cost of 50,000 casualties.

You killed 25,000 Japanese troops in eight directions, and you must not suffer at least 50,000 or 60,000 casualties?

Neither Principal Chang nor Yan Baichuan had any doubts about the casualties of the 129th Division reported by the Eighth Route Army Headquarters and that the ammunition was almost exhausted.

At this time, the Eighth Route Army was so weak, and the Japanese army suffered such a big loss, with the character of the Japanese army, it would definitely retaliate frantically.

When the Japanese soldiers pressed the border, what did the Eighth Route Army take?

Can you stand it?

And the reason for the ecstasy of Yoshio Shinozuka and Tada Jun.

It was because Principal Chang and Yan Baichuan believed the words of the Eighth Route Army.

The Japanese army, as a belligerent with the Eighth Route Army, although it is not clear about the specific casualties of the Eighth Route Army, knows that it is certainly not as many as two-thirds.

Yoshio Shinozuka and Tada estimated that the casualties of the Eighth Route Army were about half.

Two-thirds of the casualties were reported, but the Eighth Route Army wanted to deceive the Nationalist Government and the supply of weapons, ammunition and materials in the Second World War Zone.

However, the ammunition and supplies of the Eight Roads are almost exhausted, and this Yoshio Shinozuka and Tada Jun believe it.

In such a big battle, the Eighth Route Army mobilized tens of thousands of troops and hundreds of cannons, and such a consumption is not something that the current Eighth Route can bear.

As long as Principal Chang and Yan Baichuan believed the words of the Eighth Route Army and believed that the Japanese army was about to retaliate against the Eighth Route Army, it would be conducive to the next actions of the Japanese army.

Solve the Central Army first, and then solve the Eighth Route Army and the Jin Sui Army.

And although the head of the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army was not ecstatic, he also wanted to laugh.

Wait until the weapons and equipment of the three divisions, the reimbursed weapons and ammunition are in place, and the production line of the arsenal is put into operation.

The strength of the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army was stronger than before the counter-sweep, with more weapons and ammunition, and greater war potential.

As long as the devil dares to sweep up, the Eighth Route Army will dare to give the devil a big move.

Of course, the Eighth Route Army still had to keep a low profile before the devils launched a sweep, so as not to expose their strength.

Each side has its own calculations.

Neither Principal Chang nor Yan Baichuan gave the Eighth Route Army a single shot.

Only Wei Lihuang, the commander of the First Theater of the Central Army, learned that the Eighth Route Army had won a great victory but suffered heavy losses, so he sent people to send 1 million rounds of ammunition in batches under pressure.

Long before this, Chief Wei had given the Eighth Route Army 1 million rounds of ammunition and 250,000 grenades.

However, because Chief Wei was too close to the Eighth Route Army, he was placed under house arrest in Mount Emei by Principal Chang.

As a result, the Central Army was leaderless and was taken advantage of by the Japanese army, but this is all a story for later.

……

"Lao Li, you said that I should bring a transport team over to transport weapons, ammunition and food, where is it?"

Half a month later, at Yangcun Airport, 3 kilometers away from Yangcun, Minister Zhang Wanhe rushed to the old place with his transport team to receive the goods.

The brigade cavalry regiment, the cavalry battalion of the new regiment and the transport convoy of the new regiment have arrived.

In such a big battle, I am afraid that there must be hundreds of tons of weapons, ammunition and food, right?

Minister Zhang has also been here several times to transport supplies, so he is familiar with the old place where he received goods.

However, it was empty, not even a gun or a grain of food.

"What's the hurry?"

"Half an hour to come."

Li Yunlong looked at his watch.

Zhang Wanhe immediately scolded and said, "There is still half an hour to come, you call me to drink the northwest wind so early?" ”

Li Yunlong's eyes widened and said, "What's wrong with drinking some northwest wind?" You waste, how are you the logistics minister, our soldiers of the Eighth Route Army can't eat enough and don't have enough clothing, if you want me to say, you just find a wall and crash into the ball. ”

"I don't have as much ability as you Li Yunlong, or my position as the logistics minister makes you Li Yunlong deserved, so that our soldiers of the Eighth Route Army eat meat every day."

Minister Zhang replied.

"Hehe, labor and management are going to be the logistics minister, and we don't dare to say anything else, our Eighth Route Army has at least 1,000 rounds of ammunition per person, enough submachine guns and light machine guns, rice and white flour, and enough canned beef and pork."

Minister Zhang snorted sarcastically and said: "Our Eighth Route Army has four or five hundred thousand people, at least 1,000 rounds of ammunition per person, that is, four or five billion bullets, and you can't buy back so many bullets if you sell 10,000 Li Yunlong, and every meal of rice and white noodles is even more bragging, I heard that your new regiment now has 8,000 people, if you can make the soldiers of the new regiment eat rice and white noodles for every meal, I Zhang Wanhe will eat!" ”

Li Yunlong smiled: "Haha, then you can eat, our new group of food is really rice and white flour every meal, or don't believe you go to the new group to see it yourself." ”

Zhang Wanhe's words really made Li Yunlong happy, do you still want to eat that thing this year?

Although the new clump is a mixture of coarse and fine grains, at least half of each meal is rice and white flour.

Not to mention the meat, there is at least one meal of meat in three meals a day, and this food is better than that of the Japanese army.

"Really?" Zhang Wanhe will be skeptical.

"You'll find out for yourself."

Li Yunlong laughed.

After another 20 minutes or so, Li ordered the soldiers to remove the artificial turf.

The runway in front of it, which is 2 kilometers long and more than 50 meters wide, gradually comes into view.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Wanhe and the team members he brought were about to pop out their eyes.

Chen Feng still underestimated the materials needed to build the airport.

Even if an airstrip is built, 100 tons of materials are far from enough, and hundreds of tons of materials were airdropped later, and it took nearly half a month for the new regiment to organize a large number of people to successfully build the two airports, and now they can finally be put into use.

"This is the airport?"

Zhang Wanhe's tone was hurried, and he asked while looking at Li Yunlong.

"Nonsense." Li Yunlong said, "What else can this be if this is not an airport?" ”

Not long after, there was a buzzing sound in the sky, and Li Yunlong raised his binoculars to look over.

Through the field of vision of the telescope, I saw a swarm of transport planes appearing in the field of vision.

There are also fighter jets to escort you, so you don't have to worry about the devil plane suddenly bombing indiscriminately.

In the midst of many expectant eyes, the nose of a transport plane sank down, and it was the first to buzz down towards the runway.

"Lao Zhang."

Li Yunlong looked at Zhang Wanhe next to him, and then at the transport team members he brought:

"The location of our airport must not be exposed."

"Don't worry." Zhang Wanhe retracted his gaze and said in an excited tone, "I'll talk to them one by one when I go back, this matter is going to leak out of me, you can screw my head off." ”

The first transport plane was seen landing, driving onto the secondary runway, and then one transport plane after another loaded with supplies landed.

"Lao Zhang, I'll leave it to you here." Li Yunlong and guard Huang Erhu turned over and got on their horses.

"Give it to me?" Zhang Wanhe asked, "Where are you going?" ”

"I've got something to do!"

"Drive!" Li Yunlong and Huang Erhu quickly whipped their horses, and when the horse's hooves rolled, their figures quickly pulled away.

There were many people at the airport today, so Chen Feng didn't show up, but he went to Yang Village with information.

By the time Li Yunlong hurried to Yang Village, Chen Feng had already arrived, and Zhao Gang was receiving him.

When he walked to the entrance of the regiment headquarters, Zhao Gang was in the courtyard of the regiment headquarters and ordered the cooking class to make a table of hard dishes.

"Lao Li, you're back, how is it at the airport?" Zhao Gang hurriedly asked.

Li Yunlong said: "The first batch of transport planes transporting goods and materials have landed, and the cavalry battalion, the brigade cavalry regiment, and Minister Zhang's transport team have all arrived. ”

"That's good." Zhao Gang said, "Brother Chen has arrived, and he is in the house." ”

"Oh?" Li Yunlong's eyes lit up, and his voice was bright with joy, "Let's go." ”

The two walked into the inner room of the regiment headquarters together.

Chen Feng was already sitting on the kang, and when he saw Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang walking in, he got off the kang to say hello.

The new group entertains ordinary guests, and it is only used in the outhouse of the regiment headquarters.

And Chen Feng has always been a guest of the new group, not only was he invited to the inner room by Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang every time, but he was also entertained with good wine and food every time.

"Brother Chen, sit down, sit down."

The smile on Li Yunlong's face became more and more generous, and his voice became amiable.

Zhao Gang took a cup and made a cup of tea for Chen Feng, this tea was still given by the brigade commander, Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang were usually reluctant to drink it, and only took it out to brew when Chen Feng came.

"Two old brothers, the recent situation is not good, the Japanese army has released cruel words, to let your Eighth Route Army an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth, according to intelligence, the Japanese army has recently mobilized a large number of troops and materials to Shanxi, and aimed the spearhead at your Eighth Route Army."

Chen Feng picked up the teacup, took a sip gently, and then put the cup on the table and said.

"Whew!" Li Yunlong suddenly scolded and said: "The little devil is embarrassed to say that he will return an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, and I will let the little devil pay for his blood debt." ”

Zhao Gang patted the kang table and snorted: "This devil invaded our China and killed how many innocent people we were, I don't think it hurt enough to beat the devil last time." ”

The last anti-sweeping operation really hurt the devil, so that Yoshio Shinozuka would rather concentrate his forces to fight the 200,000 Central Army than the Eighth Route Army.

After solving the Central Army, he Yoshio Shinozuka will be able to retire with honor.

As for the Eighth Route Army... Let the next commander have a headache.

"So, the information I gave this time was to make the Japanese army hurt harder."

Chen Feng smiled slightly: "Brother, I have worked hard to finally get the exact time of a military train for the Japanese army to enter Shanxi from the Zhengtai Railway, and this military train is loaded with a wing of Japanese soldiers. ”

"A wing of devils?"

Suddenly, Li Yunlong's tone rose an octave, and the entire regiment headquarters could be heard clearly.

Zhao Gang's eyes also lit up suddenly.

Don't look at the last anti-sweep that severely damaged 2 divisions and regiments, but there are very few such big businesses, and it was fought by brother troops of more than a dozen regiments commanded by Li Yunlong.

If it were only the current new regiment, it would be basically impossible to inflict heavy losses on two Japanese divisions in one battle.

So the business of a coalition devil is definitely a big business for the new group at the moment!
