754, speedboats as transport vessels

"What Secret Service?"

Li Yutang said that he was not impressed at all.

Others looked at each other. I don't know what Zhang Chu is talking about.

It feels wicked.

The Japanese were killed so much.

However, the casualties of the national army were so heavy. For a while, everyone couldn't stand it.

You know, it's just a skirmish!

Both sides used light weapons. Mountain artillery and the like were not used at all.

The Japanese killed so many national soldiers with submachine guns alone. No matter what level of national army officers they are, they all feel very uncomfortable.

"It's a very good combat squad."

"They are very good soldiers."

"Equipped with the finest weaponry."

"Their target is the enemy's high command. Including the Theater Commander's Department. Or more advanced. ”

Zhang Chu explained simply.

Reach for an MP38 submachine gun and pick it up.

"It's authentic German."

"The Germans sold only to the Japanese. Even we won't sell it. ”

"It's a substitute for the Flower Trap."

Zhang Chu said as he took out a magazine and loaded it.

Aim for a haystack two hundred meters away.

"Da Da Da ......"

"Da Da Da ......"

Pull the trigger. Bullets poured out.

In an instant, the haystack was shattered accurately. Then it was gone.

Everyone's faces changed.

Boy!

Such a high level of accuracy.

No wonder the attacking Japanese invaders are so lethal. Dare is equipped with such a sophisticated weapon!

"They should have about eighty people on the move."

"It should be divided into four combat groups."

"Two groups attacked. A small group to respond. A group of back-ups. ”

Zhang Chu explained methodically.

If you want to talk about this era, you can say that you know the Yamamoto team best, and he is the only one.

Li Yutang and the others were stunned. Gradually, I understood.

Good guys, it turns out that the Japanese still have such troops! No wonder the combat power is so strong. What dare Qing is best at is sneak attacks.

Someone else's target is so high-level, it is actually the Theater Commander's Department. I was shot in this military department, which can be regarded as an honor.

"But......" Zhang Chu changed his words, "your performance is still too bad." ”

"We've done our best." The chief of staff responded unwillingly, "The Japanese are prepared, and we have no choice." ”

"Nope. Your emergency training is still terrible. Zhang Chu shook his head.

"We are a newly formed unit." The chief of staff continued to argue that "most of the soldiers had no combat experience......

The sound gradually stopped.

But it was Li Yutang who signaled him not to defend.

Being sneak attacked is a fact.

It is also true that there were heavy casualties.

The reason for the heavy casualties is that the emergency training is too weak. The combat effectiveness of the troops is too weak.

"Brother Zhang, you have something to say."

"If you want to completely annihilate the Japanese invaders in the Anqing area, you can't do this."

"What advice does my brother have?"

"I can give you weapons and ammunition. But you still have to pay attention to daily training. ”

"You give the weapons and ammunition first. Who wouldn't have empty white teeth? ”

The chief of staff couldn't help but jump out again.

He sings blackface.

What should not be said, it is up to him to say it.

And Li Yutang, the military commander, is responsible for being a good person and singing red-faced. and Zhang Chu to get in touch with each other.

It's all routines.

Zhang Chu also understands very well.

But it doesn't matter.

The routine wins people's hearts.

Handing Li Yutang a list.

Li Yutang took it and glanced at it, and his wrist trembled a little.

The chief of staff leaned over to take a look. The pupils immediately widened. Huo Ran turned his head to look at Zhang Chu. A look of disbelief. Then it became suspicious.

Would love to say, you really have that much ammo?

Don't it's not a lie, right?

"The first batch of ammunition will arrive immediately." Zhang Chu understated, "A total of 30 million rounds of 79 rifle rounds." ”

The light weapons of the national army are still mainly German weapons.

Most of the firearms are rifle rounds with 7.92mm Mauser rifle rounds. So, its consumption is very large.

The soldiers of the Tenth Army were so weak in combat effectiveness that they were seriously undertrained.

Among them, shooting training is particularly important.

There is almost no real combat shooting training.

Bullets are precious, and they are meant to be used in war. Where is it possible to train?

Even if it is an ace unit like the 74th Army, it is already very heart-wrenching for recruits to shoot five or ten rounds of ammunition on the training ground. The rest of the troops were aimed with empty guns.

"Whew!"

"Poof!"

A large number of airdrop packages are dropped.

No more cars. Let's use the most shocking scene. Direct airdrops.

A steady stream of packages fell. hundreds, thousands. Gradually, the empty ground is piled up densely. Some areas are also starting to cascade.

"Ah......h

"Ah......h

Countless screams rang out.

All the national troops were stunned. At the same time, it feels a little scary.

In the dark, it can be airdropped?

It seems that there is still no parachute?

Terrible......

Li Yutang and the chief of staff looked at each other.

The faces of the two were also full of incredulity. But it soon turned into joy. I was overjoyed.

Someone has already opened the parcel that has landed on the ground. Inside are wooden crates. The wooden box was opened, and it was full of yellow bullets. As soon as you grab it, you will know that it is of good quality and is a first-class copper bullet.

It's all good stuff!

I have never seen a bullet of such good quality.

Even if it is imported from Germany. None of these are as good as these.

It even feels a bit of a pity.

Such a good bullet is used to fight the Japanese invaders, and it is a violent thing.

Actually, just use some rusty bullets......

"Commander Li, please move the ammunition as soon as possible. There's the next wave! Zhang Chu understated.

"Ah, quick, quick!" Li Yutang reacted.

Personally direct the troops to move all the bullets aside. Then wait for the second wave of airdrops.

As a result, the bullets were not completely cleared, and the second wave of ammunition returned.

This time, it's mostly the 7.63mm Mauser barge gun bullet. The flower mechanism can be used, too. And then there were 60-mm and 81-mm mortar shells.

There are still a lot of them. Twenty bases. Enough for the Tenth Army to fight many big battles.

It is enough to block the Japanese invaders in Anqing from breaking through.

"Whew!"

"Poof!"

Subsequently, a third wave of ammunition continued to be airdropped.

This time, it was 75-mm mountain shells. And then there are all kinds of landmines. As well as grenades.

The Tenth Army also had a mountain artillery regiment. Although there are only a few mountain cannons, the establishment is also available. Mortars and the like are also available. It's just that there aren't many of them. There are only a dozen doors in one regiment. Shells are even more lacking.

"Whew!"

"Poof!"

The fourth wave of ammunition arrived.

This time, it was mainly 12.7 mm anti-aircraft machine gun bullets. 12.7*108mm kind. Soviet.

The chief of staff grabbed the bullets curiously. Doubt.

"For anti-aircraft machine guns."

"You're going to equip us with anti-aircraft machine guns?"

"It's mainly tanks used to fight Japanese invaders. Of course, it can also be used for air defense. ”

"Oh......"

The chief of staff was completely relieved.

The other party really does what he says! So many weapons and ammunition, just give it!

Sure enough, a full hundred anti-aircraft machine guns were dismantled.

For these weapons of mass destruction, the chief of staff is still very in awe. He knows the power of bullets of this caliber.

It's a pity that there is no artillery......

However, he was already satisfied. No more imposition.

However......

"It's coming!"

"It's coming!"

Suddenly, someone screamed.

But it was the mountain cannon that sent it. Seventy-two doors in total. All were 75-mm Italian guns.

Fang Xianjue's pre-ten division already has 72 divisions. With the addition of 72 doors this time, there are 144 doors in total. For an army, it is already very powerful firepower.

Although it cannot be compared with countries such as the United States, the Soviet Union, Britain, Germany, and France. But compared to the Japanese invaders, the firepower is not bad.

The only thing that stood out about the Japanese was the long range of the 105-mm heavy cannon. The national army does not have suitable weapons to counteract for the time being.

However, the Japanese 105-mm heavy cannon was not a panacea. It is 36 doors. In the face of a large number of 75mm Italian guns, it is completely possible to kill elephants with ants.

"Commander Li, please sign for it."

"Good!"

Li Yutang happily signed.

Received all 72 Italian guns.

The chief of staff was almost dancing with excitement.

That's a lot of artillery!

And so many shells!

This Zhang Chu is really rich! Rich and oily!

I really can't figure out where he got so many weapons and ammunition from!

Magical......

Zhang Chu looked around. Almost. Their mission was accomplished. It's time to do something else.

"Brother......

Li Yutang suddenly waved his hand.

Everyone around them automatically and consciously retreated. Including the Chief of Staff.

"Huang Botao......"

Li Yutang wanted to speak and stopped.

Zhang Chu's expression moved.

"Two hundred thousand oceans, I can help you dredge him out."

"And then?"

"It is impossible to be the commander of the 25th Division. However, a miscellaneous division commander is still okay. ”

"Deal!"

Zhang Chu nodded.

Arrange an airdrop immediately. Directly it is 300,000 oceans.

"Ah......h

Li Yutang was stunned.

This Zhang Chu, and so many oceans?

No wonder the people of the military command want to ......

I just don't know how to write dead words. This Zhang Chu, is it something they can provoke?

It's good now. The military commander slapped himself in the face, and he no longer dared to come to Zhang Chu's trouble.

Otherwise, not a single bullet will be obtained.

How else do you kill Japanese criminals?

The Japanese invaders went all the way upstream, and Hankou could not be saved.

"Wait for my good news."

Li Yutang is full of confidence.

He has no friendship with Huang Botao. But knowing that the ocean is especially easy to make.

As long as the ocean is in place, there is nothing that cannot be solved.

As long as you find the right person, the big sin can be dredged out from Lao Jiang.

"Good!"

Zhang Chu then said goodbye and left.

He was going to find Wang Yaowu.

In other words, I have been dealing with the national army for so long, and I haven't seen Lao Wang with my own eyes!

Li Yutang arranged for someone to lead the way.

It took another half a day to reach the headquarters of the 74th Army.

It just so happened that Wang Yaowu was there.

"Sure enough, it's a talent." Wang Yaowu said slowly.

"Captain Wang has won the award." Zhang Chu's hypocritical politeness.

It's all about the scene. Everyone knows it.

Lao Wang's tricks are also a lot. Don't be deceived by appearances.

You see Liao Lingqi died a miserable death.

Straight to the point, Zhang Chu continued: "Commander Wang, what do you think about the elimination of all the Japanese invaders in the Anqing area?" ”

"All!" Zhang Chu especially emphasized these two words.

It must be total annihilation.

Otherwise, wipe out half and run away half, and then it's no fun.

On the previous two occasions, the Japanese invaders were picked up by naval red deer and took the remnants away. But this time, the navy red deer's hand could not reach so long.

Kenji Dohihara and his three divisions must die in the Anqing area.

Of course, surrender is fine.

After surrendering, they were all sent to Xikang to work as coolies. Mining!

"It's very difficult."

Wang Yaowu replied slowly.

He is not exaggerating.

This is no longer a question of weapons and ammunition. It is a matter of coordination within the national army.

The Nationalist Army concentrated several armies in the area around Anqing. However, there has always been a dispute over the choice of unified commander.

Some people insisted that Gui Yongqing command.

But Lao Jiang likes Hu Zongnan. But Hu Zongnan doesn't seem to want to get involved.

It's a mess in the end. Gui Yongqing has arrived. However, Hu Zongnan made it clear that he would not cooperate. He, Wang Yaowu, didn't want to cooperate.

It is said that it is a plate of loose sand, or it is a serious statement.

However, the troops are indeed in harmony.

"Gui Yongqing has just reacted to the above, asking for the Tenth Army to be transferred to the front line of Wangjiang. Prevent the Japanese from trapping the beasts and rushing westward. Wang Yaowu said.

Zhang Chu suddenly frowned, "What is he going to do?" ”

Wang Yaowu did not answer.

What is Gui Yongqing going to do?

Of course, he wanted to take the Tenth Army into his own hands.

Wang Yaowu is already the commander of the 74th Army, and if he is still in charge of commanding the 10th Army, he will have too much power in his hands.

When the time comes, where will Gui Yongqing, the commander-in-chief of the front line, go?

"By the way, which unit is Long Muhan in?"

"You know him?"

"Got it."

"71st Division of the 88th Army. On the south bank of the river. ”

"Oh......"

Zhang Chu nodded thoughtfully.

It seems that Long Muhan will not be attacked by the Japanese invaders for the time being.

The main forces of the Japanese invaders are all in Jiangbei, all around Anqing. If you want to break through, it is impossible to break through along the south bank of the river.

It's a dead end over there.

Even if it rushes through Chizhou, Xuancheng and Wuhu are also blocked.

It's a pity......

If the main force of the 71st Army is transferred to participate in the siege, the certainty that the Japanese will be completely annihilated will be even greater.

"Can you transfer the 71st Army?" Zhang Chu was blunt.

"What?" Wang Yaowu was stunned.

"It would be too wasteful to leave the 71st Army on the south bank of the Yangtze River."

"This ......"

Wang Yaowu fell into deep thought.

Indeed, the 71st Army was also the main force. There are also ace units like the 88th Division.

The 87th and 88th Divisions, which had previously performed well in the Battle of Songhu, were split into the 71st Army and the 72nd Army after the battle. Among them, the 71st Army was commanded by Song Xilian.

In rotation, the number of the 71st Army was about the same as that of the 74th Army. It's definitely better than the 64th Army. Better than the Tenth Army.

If the 71st Army is transferred over, it can indeed increase a lot of strength.

The question is......

There are so many people in the 71st Army, how can they cross the river?

There are no ships!

Wooden ships in general, at most transporting people, could not transport weapons.

Even 75-mm mountain guns could not be transported.

What's more, there weren't so many wooden boats.

"I have torpedo boats."

"What?"

"I have thirty speedboats, and it only takes an hour to make a round trip."

"You say."

Wang Yaowu immediately calculated.

One back and forth for an hour. Thirty people were transported back and forth in one piece. That's seven hundred people a day.

And that's just a speedboat. With 30 speedboats, you can transport 20,000 people a day?

It's kind of amazing!

Of course, this is theoretical data. In fact, in real operation, it is not bad to be able to transport 5,000 people a day.

It takes time to get on and off the ship.

However, 5,000 people in one day, 10,000 people crossed the river in two days. Three days is fifteen thousand. Four days is 20,000. That's a very powerful force, too.

Even if only 2,000 people crossed the river in one day, ten days later, there were 20,000 people.

"Are you sure it works?"

"Of course!"

Zhang Chu understated.

Those under Fan Xu may not be experienced enough to fight. But it is absolutely no problem to operate a torpedo boat.

Two shifts. Use the speedboat as a transport ship. Super efficient.

Since the Japanese can use the Yangtze River waterway to quickly transfer troops, of course they can. Strive to completely transfer the 71st Army in about ten days.

"I'll report to the Ministry of Military Affairs immediately."

"Good!"

Zhang Chu nodded.

Wang Yaowu immediately went to make arrangements.

For this suggestion, Lao Wang is very moved.

That's an army!

"Wait!"

Lao Wang suddenly turned back.

Zhang Chu smiled slightly at the corner of his mouth.

"The 71st Army cannot carry heavy weapons. Nor can I carry enough ammunition......"

"I'm in charge of providing it."

"You deliver first."

"Of course!"

Zhang Chu readily agreed.

As long as the Japanese invaders can be completely annihilated, it is not difficult to supply the weapons and equipment of an army.

One army of the national army, even if it is the main force, there are more than 300 light and heavy machine guns. Mortars are about a hundred. Mountain artillery is up to one regiment.

The speedboat will definitely not be able to transport mountain artillery. Therefore, the mountain artillery regiment must be replenished.

At the same time, mortar shells and the like, it is estimated that they will not be transported much, and they will have to be replenished. As well as ammunition of various calibers, etc.

None of this is a problem.

300 Czech light machine guns directly airdropped,

Actually, Czech light machine guns can be carried. It is a single weapon. Mortars can also be carried.

Lao Wang is just asking for more equipment.

The highlight is still the Mountain Artillery Regiment.

Soon, two regiments of mountain artillery arrived. A total of 72 doors. And a lot of shells.

Wang Yaowu was completely relieved.

Zhang Chu also came to the riverside and went to find Fan Xu.

"What?"

"Pull the entire 71st Army across the river?"

"Yes!"

Zhang Chu's words are concise and to the point.
