Chapter 1322 Preparing for war

"100,000 Springfield rifles, 50,000 M1 Garland semi-automatic rifles, 500,000 Thompson submachine guns, 500,000 MARK2 grenades, and 5 million bullets of various types!" This was the order placed by Tang Dao to Xiao Yangniuer through a secret radio station.

Among them are Garland, the main rifle equipped by the US Army, the old Springfield rifle that was eliminated, and the Thompson submachine gun that was developed in 1930 only after the start of World War II will be equipped with a large number of troops.

The guns developed by American cowboys were far less famous than those of the German Empire and the Bear before the war. However, after the war began, people found that the Americans were more pragmatic. The guns developed by them were not inferior to those of the German and the Bear countries. They were cheaper and easier to maintain, and they also had a strong adaptability to harsh environments such as temperature, humidity, and sand.

Tang Dao considers that the more cruel battlefield behind enemy lines will be opened on a large scale, and the Japanese army will mobilize villages more frequently and increase a large number of soldiers to deal with them. At the same time, the demand for rifle and grenades will increase significantly.

The 10,000 rifles exchanged from the stingy old man were not enough for Hebei. I don’t know when the order of a German-armed division from Krupp Company will arrive, and only the Americans can buy and transport weapons on a large scale.

"We cannot transport such large-scale weapons and equipment to your battlefield through northern China!" Xiao Yangniuer was stunned by this huge order worth millions of dollars, but she still sincerely called Tang Dao back. From the existing transportation routes, the food Tang Dao had previously needed, just to transport this huge batch of weapons to Handan and other places under the eyes of the Japanese, it is undoubtedly a dream to say.

"Through Mao Xiong Kingdom, then enter the Western Xinjiang Province of our country, and then to Shaanxi Province, we will contact us in advance and place 2,000 anti-tank rifles orders for its military factory that have been developed and are preparing to be equipped with troops! We will also pay additional transit fees, which they will accept happily.

Moreover, we will pay the full amount of all the fees incurred during the transportation process!" Tang Dao quickly replied to Xiao Yangniuer and gave another transportation route.

Nowadays, the Japanese have blocked China's important offshore sea, which has basically cut off the possibility of direct maritime transportation, but China's huge land cannot be completely locked down by the Japanese.

China now has two important land channels for obtaining external materials, one is from Myanmar, which borders Yunnan Province, and the other is the hairy bear border border with Western Xinjiang Province.

But the southwest border is too far from North China, and the mountain roads are rugged and difficult to move around. When these weapons arrive, I don’t know what year or month it will take.

The best route is to arrive from Xijiang Province to Anxian, where the 80th Army is located, and then cross the Yellow River, and transport the batch of weapons and equipment to North China by moving an ant.

The Japanese have long been disliked by Mao Xiong. Since May, the Japanese Kwantung Army has attacked the Nomenkan area many times. If nothing unexpected happens, Mao Xiong will teach the arrogant Japanese a lesson with tanks and planes in Nomenkan.

At this time, someone proposed to transit a large number of weapons and equipment to China. Even if the hairy bear man has muscles in his head, he would be happy to slap his face!

What's more, there are also orders for 2,000 latest anti-tank rifles and supporting ammunition. They are not loaned, but paid with penicillin drugs. It is strange that the bears can disagree.

In the Xijiang Province, there will naturally be an Eighty Army to negotiate with them. Even if it is not for the anti-Japanese plan, or for the sake of money, Xijiang Province will not make more difficulties.

It should be about half a year before this batch of weapons and equipment will arrive in North China.

By then, 200,000 American guns will be put into the enemy's base areas, and the Japanese and puppet troops who went to the countryside to mobilize.

The anti-tank rifles that Tang Dao had not yet been officially installed in the army were ordered by Mao Xiongren. The Type 94 and Type 89 tanks that the Japanese now use in large quantities on the Chinese battlefield are just a genius, and using a 12.7mm heavy machine gun and 20mm machine gun is enough.

These anti-tank rifles were prepared by Tang Dao for the Japanese army to build large-scale artillery towers in the future to implement the so-called "cage tactics" for blocking the base.

The fundamental reason why the artillery towers and deep trenches caused huge losses to the Eighty Army is that the Eighty Army has severely lacked direct meow cannons and cannot penetrate artillery towers made of blue bricks and concrete.

A cannon tower or bunker is like a fire-breathing turtle. Its defense is high enough and can block the width of nearly 2 miles on both sides with machine guns and rifles. This is the node and supplemented by deep trenches that can pass through cars and motorcycles. It would be apart the plains and block the mobile and flexible operation of the Eighty Army!

The Tang Dao is not capable of building thousands of war defense artillery or infantry artillery for the Eighty Army. Moreover, these artillery are extremely heavy, ranging from more than 200 kilograms to more than 400 kilograms. They can still be a drag when the troops are transferred.

The anti-tank rifle developed by Mao Xiong weighs 17.2 kilograms. A strong soldier can carry it and run. The warhead with a diameter of 14.5mm and an initial velocity of up to 1010m/second can penetrate 25MM thick steel plates at a distance of 500 meters, and can completely penetrate a gun tower with bricks as the main body.

If a few anti-tank rifles were mounted in front of a gun tower, Tang Dao could imagine the pale faces of the Japanese and puppet troops in the bunker.

There is no need to blast it with a large amount of life-consuming assault advance. Dozens of armor-breaking ejections are shot down, and no one can still resist in such ragged fortifications that are beaten like sieves.

Of course, this is all the things that the insidious Japanese devils in the future, and what the Four Army Regiment and the Eighty Army have to deal with, the fierce counterattack of Duotianjun, the two fools, needs to be Duotianjun.

This chapter is not finished yet. Please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content later! Without waiting for the stingy old man's Jinzao rifle to be delivered, more than 2,000 stock rifles from the Four Lines Regiment arrived to southern Hebei. They were not distributed to the new recruits who joined the army. Instead, they first gave the guns and bullets to the militia platoons in each village. On average, each militia platoon of 10 guns and 2,000 bullets were 2,000 rounds per militia platoon.

The bullets were fired enough not because the militia required many enemies to shoot, but because the Tang Dao needed them to start training immediately.

Whether it is the recruits or militias who joined the army, they are essentially farmers who have just put down their hoes. There is never a chance in the war. Not everyone has enough shooting talent. Even Niu Er, who was in the recruits, was so scared that he heard the sound of gunfire that he was so scared that he pissed his crotch when he shot the enemy. When he was terrified and closed his eyes involuntarily.

A large amount of live ammunition training is the basis for a soldier to shoot and kill enemies at a distance of more than 100 meters.

All villages and villages in southern Hebei Province started a large-scale training campaign for all members in about late May!

Under the guidance of the Eighty Group Army, the Four Army Regiments, and the Southern Hebei Office, the people and the regular army continued to improve the tunnels. While the walls were also opened to dig the ditches between the villages on the plains.

The ditch is one meter deep and one meter wide, so it can make people hang up and move quickly in the ditch!

The function of this kind of trench is similar to the traffic trench on the battlefield. It can be used to use this trench for defense warfare. When the situation is favorable, the troops stationed in all directions in each village can use this passage to surround the Japanese army. If the situation is unfavorable, it is naturally to use the trench to evacuate, enter the village and tunnels and fight with the Japanese army again.

At first, it was just excavation around each village, and when it was connected between each village, it would become another artificial miracle during the war.

The Japanese are just fighting back now. If they wait for a while, the ditches that crisscross the fields can make them dazzled, let alone the secret tunnel exit that could be shot behind them at any time.

The militia practiced a lot of live ammunition. In the early stage, each gun was distributed 200 rounds, which could be used for 5 people to shoot 40 rounds of live ammunition per person. With the Sihang Regiment Factory working day and night, more than one million rounds of bullets were transported to southern Hebei.

On average, every militia has a record of firing more than 100 bullets, which is really a terrible number.

You should know that in the middle of 38 years, even the regular army of the Eighty Army, each soldier was only given 10 bullets. Many soldiers did not shoot 10 bullets until they died in battle.

But now only half a year has passed, even militias who are not yet military have fired more than a hundred bullets on the training ground in the fields.

Perhaps it would not be possible for every militia to shoot and kill the Japanese army at a distance of 150 meters because of the live ammunition training of these 100 meters. However, at least when the Japanese army attacked, they could also assist the regular army at a distance of 100 meters to pose a great threat to the Japanese army.

To a certain extent, the 80th Army, which has expanded its troops to 20,000 in southern Hebei, plus the four-row regiment with 9 regular infantry companies and 6 new recruit companies, totaling about 6,000 people, plus a militia unit with 260 militia platoons, totaling about 13,000 people, China can fight as many as 40,000 soldiers.

What is even more gratifying is that although the stingy old man has a very average character, he is still trustworthy. The 10,000 rifles and millions of bullets he promised have arrived in southern Hebei one after another.

With this supplement, all new recruits from all departments of the 80th Army were equipped with new guns, and the militia troops also added 1,000 shots.

In addition, Zheng Yunqiu, the unlucky child, also sent 800 rifles to the Guangping County District.

Some of these guns were privately kept by this guy, some were purchased by him from his colleagues from nearby security forces, some were purchased by him through personal relationships with bandits in the mountains, and even some were cheated from the Japanese.

Really, the old abacus threatened to this person, "Eight hundred is the bottom line, if you can't get it, just wait for the Japanese to peel your skin and let it dry at the city gate!", which is really a threat to the child.

Zheng Yunqiu is bad and greedy, but the main thing he is greedy is real money and silver. He really didn't dare to hide too much of this gun.

It is said that for these guns, the always cunning Commander Zheng Yunqiu, the Battalion Commander Zheng, was almost worried about his white hair. He wanted to satisfy the "Tu Ba" man and fool the Japanese. Commander Zheng was also tired of his mind. His haggard appearance made Kuroda Saburo, who had happily taken him a thousand taels of gold, feel a little reluctant, and even specially found a Japanese military doctor to treat him.

"Zheng Sang, I know that you are willing to serve the empire, but you must take care of yourself and never linger on the sickbed!" Kuroda Saburo comforted Zheng Yunqiu sincerely.

That's really not superficial. Kuroda Saburo has been in China for so long, and he has really plundered a lot of gold and silver, but it was the first time that a rich man like Zheng Yunqiu gave a thousand taels of gold at one time.

Kuroda Saburo was willing to have something wrong with his big money master's father. As the acting corps captain of the 63rd Infantry Regiment, he had to let his big money master's father live a little longer. It would be better when he would give him a thousand taels of gold.

If Kuroda Saburo knew that it was the man in front of him who not only brought 30 elite Chinese soldiers into the city, but also provided a secret passage to let more than 200 elite Chinese soldiers enter the city and chopped up the head of his own regiment captain, would he regret his kind words from Zheng Sang?

It probably won't be possible. Without Zheng Yunqiu's help from "exploding his mind", the Colonel and the 1st Infantry Captain were surprised. How could he act as the second Infantry Captain, even if it was an infantry gang that lost the gang's flag.

"I am working hard now, and I want to rebuild my security infantry battalion and serve the empire!" Zheng Yunqiu's righteous words of "devoting all his life to the empire until he dies" almost believed him.

Otherwise, the highest level of deceiving people is to deceive yourself first?

So, Kuroda Saburo, who was deeply moved by him, waved his hand and applied for more than 600 guns for his security army infantry battalion, and allowed Zheng Yunqiu's security army to expand to 800 people.

Little did Zheng Yunqiu, who was grateful to the place, took Major Kuroda Saburo to his outer courtyard and tasted his concubine's skills. Zheng Yunqiu, who had received the gun, turned his head and sent 300 of them to a designated area in the countryside. The white hair on his head faded a lot.

This is how the fortress was breached from the inside. The guy who wanted to get the important task he had to entrusted was a large hamster. He gave him money and women here, and gave him guns to "Tuhachi" there?

After the Battle of Panzhai, the morale of the military and civilians rose sharply. Not to mention the fact that there were nearly 100 regular soldiers stationed in each village, the militia had 50 people and 30 guns, and almost had the strength of an infantry company.

Moreover, because it has a simple ditch connecting various villages, it only takes 40 minutes to gather more than 700 Chinese soldiers.

Because, like this exercise, there is an average of one week. One village ignites the beacon, and the fastest 25 minutes and the slowest 40 minutes in the surrounding five villages can all reach the battlefield.

The fastest evacuation of ordinary people is only 10 minutes before they can leave the village without being surrounded by the Japanese army.

Even in the command center of Tang Dao located in Zishan, there are two huge 3D sand tables, one of the two cities of Handan and Xingtai. The location of each village above is marked. Through the local infantry company stationed in the local area, Tang Dao can clearly judge all the movements of the Japanese army and make tactical instructions.

The entire southern Hebei region is like a huge military camp under the careful design of Tang Dao. Whether the Japanese army intends to fight or sweep, Tang Dao can carefully allocate troops.

The Reconnaissance Company, the Mountain Infantry Company, the Guard Company and the Cavalry Company, and the four elite companies, as the mobile power in his hands, can deliver troops to the farthest hundred kilometers away and the last 10 kilometers away at any time.

Of course, once all these four companies are deployed, it almost means that they will at least engage in infantry brigade-level battles with the Japanese army. There are also two elite infantry battalions in the southern Hebei sub-district of the 80th Army.

Once the Japanese want to play big things, the two military leaders located in southern Hebei are not afraid. In two days, they can organize 12,000 regular troops and 5,000 militias to rush to any battlefield.

But Duotianjun, who was far away in Pingbei City and Yoshio Shinozuka who received military orders to return to Handan, would think that his opponents were like they could sprinkle beans and become military. In just one month, they doubled the size of the troops.

After nearly three days of secret discussion, these two men and Saburo Okabe, the chief of staff, finally managed to confront one of them Zhuge Liang to discuss a tactic of "shocking the snake and leading the snake out of the hole".

The so-called "shocking the snake" is to continue to implement the "Earing Tactics", using infantry squadron-level to sweep villages 5 kilometers away from the county town, and force out the Eighty Group Army and the Four Army Regiment by completely slaughtering villages and destroying households.

If the Eighty Army and the Four Army Group dare not come out, then continue to massacre until the Chinese people surrender and no longer support the "Tu Eight" and the Four Army Group.

This actually achieved the original intention of Duo Tianjun to formulate this tactic before, and to completely conquer the vast rural areas of North China spiritually and physically.

If the Eighty Army and the Four Army dare to come out, they will mobilize heavy troops to encircle them and kill them.

Although the focus of the Japanese North China Front Army is still on the southeastern Shanxi and the front line of Zhongjo Mountain, in order to protect the public security of the occupied areas, there are still up to 100,000 regular troops and more than 60,000 public security troops. It is still possible to draw 20,000 troops into southern Hebei.

Originally, the 10th Division had 4 infantry regiments and 12 infantry brigades. One of them was severely damaged by the whole army in Zhongtiao Mountain. Panzhai was severely damaged by two infantry brigades, leaving only 8, and the troops obviously did not meet the expected value.

After thinking about it, Duo Tianjun was forced to turn his attention to the 4th Division Yukino Assistant Infantry Brigade of the 4th Division resting in Baoding.

It is said that the 4th Division does not seek combat effectiveness, but they performed well in the Zhongtiaoshan Battle. Even if the materials and supplies were destroyed, they did not let Yuncheng fall. That is a fact.

Can this infantry brigade be allowed to assist the 10th Division?

But when Yukinosuke, a slut, heard that he wanted to carry out the "Jin Demon War" himself, he immediately stated clearly that he was a real soldier and would never attack civilians. If he had to issue a military order to force him, he would go to the military court to defend himself.

Commander Duotianjun, who was inexplicably criticized, almost got angry and had a heart attack. If it weren't for the fact that there was still a trace of rationality, he would have sent this Osaka vendor who couldn't see the situation clearly to the military court.

Unfortunately, the commander of the 4th Division also had a thigh behind him. If the quarrel started, he might be able to suppress the other party, but if the other party bit Panzhai Zhazha's record in the battle, his new commander of the North China Front Army would also be trampled on the ground and rubbed.

If you lose a battle, you will be unharmed and the commander is no exception.

Faced with the hob meat like Yukinosuke Okuba, Duotianjun finally took a step back. After they arrived in southern Hebei, they were responsible for cooperating with the 10th Division and the main Chinese troops. The "Jinmiao Battle" was mainly carried out by the 10th Division.

"The local buns from Sendai do not understand tactics at all, so they will command blindly!" Major General Yukinosuke Okusuke cursed and led more than 7,000 officers and soldiers of his infantry brigade to march from Baoding in early June to march towards Handan.

This time I left for half a month!

The speed of marching for 40 miles a day was so fast that the Lieutenant General Shinozuka Yoshinobu in Handan City felt that he was almost moldy.
