The 299th chapter is absolutely true, every word!
It is not easy for the Eighth Route Army, and it is even more difficult for the guerrillas of the informal army. Ye Feng fully understands Captain Zhao's mood.
Seeing so many weapons and equipment in front of you, it is impossible for Captain Zhao not to envy. What the entire Weishan Lake guerrillas need most is weapons and equipment. With a large amount of weapons and equipment, the scale can be expanded and the combat effectiveness can be improved.
As for people, it is the most indispensable thing. The Japanese devils are completely conscientious. The Chinese people are fighting against each other. There are some passionate young people who join the army to fight against the Japanese. The Weishan Lake guerrillas are the same. They have no worries about not being able to recruit people. As long as there are guns, there are a large number of people participating in the guerrillas to fight against the Japanese.
In the war era, weapons and ammunition are difficult to deal with!
Captain Zhao worked hard for so long, and only got nearly a thousand guns, including some old sleeves and bird guns that made up the numbers. If only one or two hundred Type 38 rifles were available, no, dozens would be satisfied, Captain Zhao thought to himself.
Seeing Captain Zhao reluctantly looking at the large piece of weapons and equipment, Ye Feng couldn't help but smile and said cheerfully: "Captain Zhao, you are leaving. You helped me clean the battlefield for so long just now, and I haven't thanked you yet?"
"General Ye, you are kind. Now it is the cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party to unify the anti-Japanese war. It is a trivial matter to help you clean the battlefield. It is not worth mentioning or worth mentioning."
"Really? I see you working so hard, more than two thousand people have been busy for two or three hours. I plan to send some things to thank you." Ye Feng said meaningfully.
Seeing Ye Feng's expression, Captain Zhao felt aroused and thought eagerly, General Ye was preparing to send dozens of Type 38 rifles to thank him?
Thinking of this possibility, Captain Zhao mustered up the Warriors. There were not many opportunities like today. It would be great if he could get dozens of Type 38 rifles. So Captain Zhao mustered up twelve points of courage.
"General Ye, if you can give us dozens of Type 38 rifles, I, Zhao Chuanwu, would be grateful."
"Does of Type 38 rifles!"
Ye Feng's voice suddenly became louder. Unexpectedly, Zhao Chuanwu looked at this large piece of weapon for several times, but he only asked for dozens of Type 38 rifles.
Seeing Ye Feng's voice suddenly became louder, Zhao Chuanwu felt embarrassed and thought to himself that he might have been mouthing loudly, so Zhao Chuanwu said embarrassedly: "General Ye, if there are too many dozens of Type 38 rifles, more than a dozen can be done."
Hearing this, Ye Feng laughed. When he exclaimed just now, Zhao Chuanwu must have misunderstood. Ye Feng smiled and said, "Captain Zhao. How can I take advantage of dozens of Type 38 rifles such as such a small amount of weapons and equipment?"
Seeing Ye Feng say this, Captain Zhao finally felt relieved and thought to himself, would General Ye want to send 100 Type 38 rifles? No, it might be 200 Type 38 rifles.
When Captain Zhao thought of two hundred Type 38 rifles, he felt very excited. Two hundred Type 38 rifles! At present, there are only two in the Weishan Lake guerrillas, three hundred Type 38 rifles, and the rest are some of the most formal, Hanyang-made, old sleeves, etc., and various miscellaneous weapons.
Next to him, several commanders of the Weishan Lake guerrillas also looked at Ye Feng eagerly, waiting for Ye Feng to speak.
Captain Zhao thought that he might get one or two hundred Type 38 rifles immediately. He rubbed his hands excitedly.
Ye Feng smiled slightly and said, "Captain Zhao, we are not very useful in these little Japanese weapons and equipment. We are given all of these Type 38 rifles, turtle box pistols and other weapons. For machine guns, you can choose fifty of them yourself."
Quiet, quiet!
The commanders of the Weishan Lake Guerrillas, including Captain Zhao, looked at Ye Feng in disbelief, as if he had heard it wrong. Captain Zhao even pinched himself hard until he grinned in pain.
"General Ye, you mean..."
Captain Zhao simply didn't believe it. This was a pie from the sky! It was originally a good idea to have one or two hundred Type 38 rifles, but I didn't expect it to have so many weapons and equipment.
Ye Feng nodded heavily and added: "You can take as many bullets on the ground as you can. If you don't dislike the machine guns on the Japanese armored vehicles, if you don't dislike them and are not afraid of hard work, you can dismantle as much as you can, and give them all the dismantled ones to you."
Quiet, still quiet!!!
After a long time, Captain Zhao slapped himself with a "pop", and then he completely believed that this was true. His face suddenly turned red with excitement, and the corners of his mouth were even trembling. Captain Zhao, who was quick-talking, started to stutter for the first time in his life.
"Ye, General Ye, you, what you said is true."
"It's true and true, one word is full of cauldrons!"
Captain Zhao was so happy that he thanked Ye Feng repeatedly and even gave Ye Feng a big gift. A large number of Weishan Lake guerrilla soldiers were cheering and even jumping.
A warrior who was still holding a spear waved his fist in the air excitedly, evidently showing his joy and excitement.
Captain Zhao grinned for the first time in his life. After laughing, he loudly said to his own soldiers: "Why are you still standing there? Choose weapons quickly."
Hearing this, a large number of Weishan Lake guerrilla soldiers surrounded him. A soldier holding a big knife picked up a Type 38 rifle from the ground, pulled the bolt a few times, and then happily carried his back on his back. After thinking about it, he picked up another one and carried it on his back.
A soldier made in an old Hanyang carries his back and picks up an almost intact stubborn machine gun, at least 70% or 80% of the new crooked machine gun, looks left and right, looking like he can't let go.
There was also a soldier who opened an ammunition box on the ground and looked at the box of Type 38 rifle bullets. His hands were trembling with joy. He grabbed a yellow Cancan bullet with trembling and felt like he was dreaming.
......
At noon, Ye Feng took an off-road vehicle and returned to Xuzhou Airport accompanied by Zhao Long and Long Yi.
This morning, the fourth batch of soldiers had arrived. Not long after noon, the fifth batch of soldiers had arrived. In the afternoon, the sixth batch of soldiers had arrived.
As the fifth batch of soldiers arrived at Xuzhou Airport, the number of soldiers in the Xuzhou Airport has increased significantly, with a total of three infantry regiments. In addition, there are Air Marine Corps (Airborne Regiment), soldiers from an artillery regiment of the Second Infantry Division, and in addition, there are more than 100 tanks in a tank regiment.
After noon, more than 100 tanks of the tank regiment were departed. After ammunition and fuel replenishment, they began to launch near the Zaozhuang area.
In order to ensure the ammunition and oil supply of a group of tanks, Ye Feng exchanged a small amount of ammunition supply trucks and oil supply trucks for the group of tanks. These auxiliary supply trucks are also tracked armored vehicles. Off-road and maneuverability are as excellent as tanks, and they can fully follow the Tiger tanks.
Ye Feng has no plans to attack the 110th Division of the Xuzhou Little Japan. Ye Feng is preparing to solve the 5th National Independent Brigade of the Little Japan who is reinforcing to Xuzhou.
...
Taierzhuang area.
Thousands of Eighth Route Army are blocking the 5th Mixed Japanese Independence Brigade, which was heading south from Zaozhuang to reinforce. The battle has been going on for more than an hour.
On the way to the south of Zaozhuang, thousands of people were constantly harassed and blocked by the Eighth Route Army troops. They moved slowly. They reached the Taierzhuang area more than two hours ago. Thousands of Eighth Route Army troops who arrived here early began a frontal blockade against the Eighth Route Army with ease.
The 110th Division in Xuzhou has not had any reinforcements for a long time, and the 5th Independent Mixed Brigade has received many orders to quickly reinforce Xuzhou.
On a small hill, the temporary pre-war command center of the 115th Division of the Eighth Route Army was set up here. Commander Nie RZ was personally commanding the battle, holding a telescope and watching the battle far ahead.
"Teacher Commander, the Japanese are very powerful in fire, and the soldiers are beaten so hard that they can hardly raise their heads." A senior commander of the 115th Division said with distress.
Commander Nie held a telescope and looked at the battle ahead. Although there were a lot of people on his blocking position, his weapons and equipment level was much worse than that of the Japanese, so it was indeed not easy to fight head-on with Japanese.
The third large-scale attack of the Japanese have been repelled, and the attack for another two hours can be ordered to let the Japanese pass through. Commander Nie thought to himself.
In another two hours, the 115th Division would block the Japanese for 24 hours, which fully met Ye Feng's requirements.
On the frontier positions of the Eighth Route Army.
In a long trench, many soldiers were catching up on time to treat the wounded and replenish ammunition. A soldier was carrying an ammunition box with rifle bullets inside. The soldier fired bullets one by one, but there were not many bullets, each with ten.
A short soldier happily looked at the ten bullets in his hand. After watching for a long time, he looked reluctant and loaded five bullets into his Hanyang Made. The other five bullets were carefully loaded into his bullet bag. There was a bullet bag hanging on his shoulders. It was already empty, and there were even a lot of corn stalks inserted into it.
Not far from the short soldier, a burly man was carrying a Czech machine gun. Seeing the soldiers who were sending bullets coming, he immediately shouted loudly: "Xiao Zhang, send me a little more, give me 100 rounds."
Everyone next to them laughed kindly, and the tense atmosphere on the battlefield was slightly relieved.
Xiao Zhang, who distributed the ammunition, also smiled, picked up a whole bun of bullets, and said loudly: "The regiment commander specially approved it, I will give you fifty rounds."
Looking at fifty bullets, the burly man looked contented. It was good to have fifty bullets. As a machine gunner, he rarely had so many bullets at once.
"Battery Commander, look ahead, the Japanese seem to be setting up cannons." A soldier with excellent eyesight shouted loudly.
The 5th Brigade of the Japanese Independent Mixed Brigade failed three consecutive attacks. Seeing that his artillery troops had arrived, the commander of the Japanese Brigade immediately ordered his artillery to set up artillery and prepare to shell out this main position of the Eighth Route Army.
