Chapter 1183: Eat until the stomach is round (middle)

The supplies alone belonging to the 20th Division, the 18th Division and the 108th Division are already dazzling.

You should know that the two A Division and one B Division have a total of more than 80,000 people, and they are responsible for supplying these 80,000 people for at least two months of food. According to the confession of the Japanese baggage soldiers captured in the logistics warehouse area, the rice alone is at least 3 million kilograms!

This number almost made the Chinese army generals and captains led by the white-haired generals and generals smiled.

Whether in southeastern Shanxi or southern Shanxi, what the nearly 300,000 Chinese army is most in short supply is really not ammunition, except for food, but also food.

How exaggerated is the consumption of the 300,000 army? Even if each person eats 3 taels of rice noodles a day on average, he will have 90,000 kilograms that day, and 2.7 million kilograms a month!

In the future, 3 taels of flour will be the amount of meal for ordinary people, but for the Chinese army at this time, it is already a great treatment. It can be mixed with wild vegetables and corn flour, and there are also marginal military systems like the Eighty Army and Sichuan Army, where grandmas don’t love their uncles and don’t love them. It’s rare to see what rice is like. It’s good to have mixed grains like potatoes, sweet potatoes, millet, and corn noodles.

3 million kilograms of refined rice, even if 1.5 million kilograms are distributed, the remaining ones are divided by a group of 5 divisions. On average, each family can still get more than 200,000 kilograms. It is enough for tens of thousands of soldiers who have experienced the war to eat a full meal for a month. When you say that when Chinese generals and schools hear this, how can they not smile so hard that they can’t see their noses or eyebrows?

But this is just a small head for the advance base built by the Japanese army in Shimen.

There are three spare gun warehouses for divisions here. When the warehouse was opened, looking at the dazzling array of guns and ammunition, it is said that Comrade Wang Xiaoqiang, the first battalion commander, asked his first battalion commander to slap himself to make sure that he was not dreaming.

Such warehouses are not one or two, but dozens of neatly arranged. It is said that it took the Japanese army three months to build this logistics warehouse area.

So much so that Wang Xiaoqiang's strong men who hated the Japanese army were so strong that they all tied up the Japanese baggage troops guarding the baggage warehouse area with the white flag and accepted their surrender.

For this reason, I personally went to the command center that had been established in Shimen City and apologized to Deputy Director Tang, who issued the order to kill all Japanese military forces before the general attack: "In order to save the supplies, our regiment accepted the surrender of 300 Japanese troops and violated the order. I came to collect the crime!"

"How can it be? No military order is dead. You can make random decisions based on different situations of the battle. The big brother is naturally much better than me." Tang Dao is not a saint, and he also has his own personal preferences.

Tang Dao is very close to this general who looks very strong in his bones, so what's wrong with opening a back door for him? What's more, he did nothing wrong. As Tang Dao said, orders are dead, people are alive, and they must be cut off at random.

If one or even more stores were blown up by the desperate Japanese army because of slaughtering a few baggage troops with little combat effectiveness, it would be a pity for the Chinese soldiers who died in the battle during the siege.

After they had already won, they still came here without hesitation. The core idea was to give the Japanese three lights!

Kill them all! Snatch them all! Burn them all!

"Brother, if you don't punish me, I'll have a headache!" Wang Xiaoqiang still complained.

"How to move so much supplies!"

Indeed, the backup gun depot of a division of the Japanese army is almost the standard equipment of an infantry brigade!

Cannons: 4 75mm mountain cannons, 10 92 infantry cannons, 4 37mm rapid-fire cannons, 4 90mm mortars; guns: 72 Type 92 heavy machine guns, 108 Type 96 light machine guns, 108 50mm Type 89 grenade cannons, 4800 Type 38 rifles, 156 Southern Type 14 pistols.

Just a division's spare gun can almost arm an infantry division!

The Japanese are sophisticated. In addition, they also have half a battle ammunition reserve. Each rifle is equipped with 200 bullets, and the rifle bullets alone are about 3 million, light and heavy machine gun bullets are about 4 million, grenade launchers are 20,000 grenade launchers, and about 30,000 shells of various types!

If this is all the capture, the Chinese generals and schoolmen would probably have been satisfied with it. They would take it back and divide it into one point. Each infantry division could build an infantry battalion with full Japanese equipment.

But if you think about it, this is not a supply of one division, but of three divisions, and these data must be multiplied by three.

That completely means that even if it is divided into half of the battle zone, the five infantry divisions can also pull an all-Japanese infantry regiment. There is no need to worry too much about ammunition supply. The millions of machine-machine rifle bullets in front of me have been fighting for a year, and several infantry divisions have not fired so many bullets.

"Damn it, no wonder I can't beat the Japanese. This is so rich."

This is definitely not what Wang Xiaoqiang thought alone, but the voice of the Chinese generals and schoolmen who saw the list of seized, including Tang Dao.

War is the national strength!

However, Tang Dao also knew that it was the peak of the Japanese national strength. Not only would Japan's national strength decline rapidly in less than two years, but because they could only join the team of beards, the American cowboys cut off their oil imports, which accounted for 80% of Japan's oil demand.

Without oil, giant ships, tanks and cannons can only become a pile of scrap iron. How can Japan not be anxious? The chrysanthemum of the international arms dealer is not that the Japanese are really begging for it, but that they can only fight to the death!

Then, they were rubbed on the ground by dozens of giant ships and tens of thousands of ashes made by factories in the world's largest country.

In addition to national strength, there is also a thing called war potential. This thing is not available to the Japanese, but China has it.

Yes, the materials are piled up like mountains, and the Chinese generals present have the eyes of the students, but the worry of happiness is how they should transport these materials away.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! The 30,000 troops who came to carry their hands on their shoulders, just like Licheng that time, ants moved to Licheng in a moving manner?

That's really overthinking.

Not to mention that the Japanese army would never leave the army of Jindong for so long. At most two or three days, they would organize an army of at least one division to counterattack Shimen. Once they were bitten, when the 18th Division and the remaining 20th Division in Handan returned, even if the 30,000 troops could retreat, half of them would be the best result.

It’s just that the Japanese have thrown their jars and let you move them. Just one person can carry 50 kilograms of rice alone! Even 3 million kilograms of refined rice can’t be moved.

What's more, why do you think everything can make Tang Tuanzu, who has seen the world, open his eyes wide? Just because of those bolted rifles and small-caliber cannons that cannot get on the big table in their small days?

Don’t forget that the four-line regiments are almost completely abandoning the bolt-haired rifle. They only need to wait for another three or five months. When the Krupp company’s cargo ship arrives, the semi-automatic rifle will become the standard equipment for the four-line regiment’s individual soldiers.

In the future, the so-called "hand-to-hand combat" of the Japanese army that demonstrated their bravery would be purely suicide tactics at least in the Sixing Regiment.

A rifle that can fire ten bullets without pulling the bolt without pulling the trigger will not give you a chance to stab a bayonet, unless the opponent presses up to five or even ten times the strength of the infantry in the Four Lines.

Before entering the city, Tang Dao had already told the White-haired General that the Four-Second Regiment did not require any military, ammunition, materials, food and money, and would not refuse!

However, as the material inventory continued to proceed, Tang Dao couldn't help but be shocked.

A small life, is it collectively down?

In several warehouses in the luggage warehouse area, Qian Dazhu actually discovered machine tools and materials, not one or two, not one ton or two, but hundreds and thousands of tons.

This thing is actually not a small life, but an old man who belonged to a certain old man half a year ago. However, with the defeat of the Xinkou Battle, an old man had no time to completely transfer the arsenal that he had worked hard to be called China's largest arsenal for twenty years. In the end, the original city fell, and all of them were cheaper.

Tang Dao remembers that in time and space, the Japanese army used two special trains for transporting machine tools alone. In the end, these machine tools were transported back to Japan and became accomplices of the Japanese army's guns, cannons and ammunition.

But in this era, why are they still stayed in Shimen? Tang Dao didn’t know why.

But this is not important. What is important is that with this batch of machine tools and materials, the Sihang Group Arsenal will usher in quantitative change to qualitative change!

From then on, it was possible not only to build bullets and guns, but also to build cannons. Single-soldier rocket launchers, Type 02 14.5 single-tube high-level dual-purpose machine guns and even 107 rocket launchers may not only stay on the design drawings.

The future titanium alloy cannot be refined, and the heavy machine gun body weighing only 72 kilograms cannot be solved due to the limitations of the times. Tang Tuanzou can also accept the fine steel and 150 kilograms of gun body.

After all, the Suroton 20mm machine gun and Browning 12.7mm heavy machine gun, which are mainly equipped by the Four Lines, have a weight of nearly 200 kilograms.

If the lightweight tactical goal cannot be achieved, then continue to strengthen the firepower. Tang Dao perfectly inherits the phobia of insufficient firepower in the bones of future Chinese soldiers.

In the future, even if the Chinese army is modernized and reformed, it will be a heavy-mounted synthetic brigade. Not to mention 100 main battle tanks, but more than 20 self-propelled howitzers. If it is considered to be various artillery equipped in the brigade's synthesis battalions, the firepower output of a brigade is definitely an astonishing existence.

All of this, except for financial resources, is the development of manufacturing. Without manufacturing, it cannot be built, let alone artillery or lighter.

Machine tools and materials and skilled workers are the foundation of manufacturing!

Tang Dao immediately ordered martial law in the warehouses. Except for the Four Corps, no other troops were allowed to approach. He immediately met with the white-haired general, and told Commander Liu of the 921st Division to express his attitude that except for this batch of supplies, all other spoils were not needed.

The two generals knew that the Four Army Regiment had a secret arsenal. I don’t know how many weapons and ammunition came from that arsenal. In the future, the arsenal became bigger and stronger, so the two infantry divisions could naturally continue to obtain supplies from it. It was said that it was from the Four Army Regiment, but there was no difference between them.

He immediately agreed to Tang Dao's request, and the two commanders of the Jindong Front Command and the Shimen Front Command gave the green light. Moreover, the victory of the Jindong counterattack was mainly due to the 17th Division and the Four Army Regiment defeating the 21st Division and the 39th Brigade in one fell swoop. He could at least divide hundreds of thousands of kilograms of grain and a Japanese-armed infantry regiment that could be armed to his teeth. Even if the other division commanders listened to the reports of their subordinates, they turned a blind eye to their eyes.

This is also the worldly way. Although they are passionate soldiers, they are also talented people. They know that there are probably more things to cooperate in the future to take on the enemy. The more they can fight, the more likely they will survive, the more resources they have, what's wrong with?

When fighting a team battle, it is impossible for everyone to be strong. As long as one or two strong ones are strong and they can set the pace, it’s fine.

Hundreds of various machine tools and thousands of tons of materials are the essence of the seizure of Shimen this time. For Tang Dao, he would rather throw away all the food and weapons, and all the materials must be transported back.

So, on the morning of September 17, the Eighty Army issued a general mobilization order, and tens of thousands of troops that had just ended the anti-encirclement and suppression gathered again and rushed to eastern Jin.

The 108 and 109 divisions that were almost injured and retracted from the stamina of various counties were scared and did not understand what the Chinese were doing.

The 108 and 109th Division, which have been retracted, are now very clear that since the siege of Jindong organized by the Front Command, the Chinese army in southeastern Jin and east of Jindong has reached more than 100,000, and their morale is strong. Not to mention that they have lost less than 40,000 troops due to sneak attacks, even at the peak of their strength, they will be beaten to tears when they encounter these 100,000 elite Chinese soldiers.

What's more, because the front army now has become larger and larger and more garrisons, it is impossible to organize reinforcements from more than two divisions in the short term. If the Chinese attack on the county town they defend with all their might, it would be a lucky chance that they could defend half of it.

To put it bluntly, the two Japanese second-line divisions that were conquered can only 'shiver' in the county town. Even when the army passes through the traffic line, they can only watch with their eyes, not knowing what the Chinese want to do.

When the 18th Division and the 20th Division, which were still fighting with the 921st Division and the 104th Division in Handan area, received this information, they were even more impressed by the enemy and completely lost the intention of returning to the stone gate and began to build positions to avoid being made by the sudden increase of tens of thousands of troops.

Even Shin Shan Yuan was anxious and sent several telegrams to order the 18th Division to defend itself, and even sent any power to southern Shanxi to order the front line commander Shiro Itagaki to draw a 10,000-man detachment to be reserved, ready to support the 18th Division and the 20th Division in Handan at any time.

This is to tear down the east wall and repair the west wall. There were 100,000 Japanese troops in southern Shanxi, but they faced a 200,000 Chinese army. Without enough aircraft support, even if the Chinese army's artillery fire was weaker, two-for-one attacks were not so easy to fight.

The dispatch of tens of thousands of troops was undoubtedly to put the Japanese army in southern Shanxi in a dangerous place. Even when an important base like Shimen was about to become a food for the Chinese people, Shanshan Yuan had never noticed this, but on the morning of the 17th, he was forced to make this decision.

After all, the 21st Division was only defeated, and the 39th Infantry Brigade was only a brigade. There has never been a precedent for the Imperial Army to be completely wiped out. If it is surrounded and annihilated by tens of thousands of Chinese troops, it will undoubtedly put the entire Imperial Army on the ground to rub the faces.

But obviously, they were thinking too much!

It is said to be a large army of tens of thousands, but in fact there are less than 10,000 regular troops, at least 40,000 of which are civilians. They are not carrying guns, but carrying poles, and carrying bullets but food bags!

Their destination is Jingxing Railway Station!

Because the Battle of Shimen took less than 3 hours to occupy the entire city, the Japanese defenders of Shimen who had lost their unified command were driven away like ducks before they could do the final destruction.

Not only is the baggage warehouse well preserved, but even the Japanese Junshimen Railway Station and the four trains in the station are intact.

"There are definitely Chinese people who drive trains at the train station, find them, and tell them that as long as they can help our army transport supplies, as long as they are willing, he and his family can board the train and retreat to Jin Province with us and give generous settlement fees.

Also, the same is true for those porters. As long as they think they are still Chinese, they will move them to me and empty the Japanese warehouses, so that they don’t even have a grain of rice for me to leave.

Are you afraid that the Japanese will come back to take revenge? It doesn’t matter. If you want to leave, it doesn’t matter. Even if you don’t want to leave, it doesn’t matter. There are many Japanese prisoners of war here. As long as they dare to attack me and the people, I will dare to hang a Japanese head on the Taihang Mountain the next day, which is multiplied by ten times the number of people.

Post my last words to the whole city to soothe the people!" After Tang Dao personally inspected the railway station, he gave a direct order.

His murderous aura was so strong that even soldiers like Wang Xiaoqiang, who had been through many battles, had their hair standing on their bodies.

He believed that as long as the Japanese dared to be the first day of the lunar calendar, Tang Dao would definitely be the fifteenth!

Moreover, Wang Xiaoqiang also believes that the Japanese will believe it.

Because, Tang Tuanzuo, who had a bloody road from Songhu, walked along the way, the road he walked was paved with Japanese corpses.

If it weren't for the international influence, maybe Tang Tuanzhao would build a camp in Jingguan after every war!
