Chapter 267 Guns for shells
There are not many guns, and some of them are also made of six or five steps in the Jin Dynasty, and the quality is not very good. Zhao Hu just saw that the weapons of the Independent Division were mainly based on these six or five steps. It seems that this gun is not very popular in other troops, so he sent it to this army that grandma doesn't care about.
As for ammunition, there are many six- or five-caliber bullets. Although they are not rich, they can still be called rich compared to ordinary Eighth Route Army. At least they are assigned to soldiers and have dozens of rounds.
The bullet volume was quite large at 11:43. Seeing that they were equipped with not many submachine guns, Zhao Hu thought about it and forgot it. The Jinsui Army had this before, so it was not jealous.
But then, it opened his horizons. In addition to enough large grenades in Jin, there were actually shells!
"Don't you have seven-five guns? Why are there so many shells?"
Zhu Cong stroked his stomach and smiled, "Before the Anti-Japanese War, we hid a secret arsenal in Yangquan. It was originally used to prepare for war, but I was defeated too quickly at that time, so I was left behind."
"I'll go. So, it was our Eighth Route Army's Hundred Regiments Battle that made you start the arsenal? Then why don't you say anything?"
"How could I say that I finally pulled out the inventory. If I take a slower move, I will be occupied by the Japanese again. Besides, you Eighth Route Army has no artillery!"
"It's not your business whether we have artillery or not. Minister Zhu, just talk about it. How much are these artillery shells distributed to us? Just think we don't have training fees!"
Zhu Cong obviously didn't see the rabbit and didn't show off his eagle. He immediately shook his head and said, "The account cannot be calculated like this. You must know that a shell is dozens of dollars. You have nowhere to buy it even if you have money. More than a thousand shells here are enough to fight a big battle. Otherwise, Captain Zhao will find some guns to help?"
It is said that a gun is much more expensive than a shell, but the gun is steel, while the shell is copper, and it can be reinstalled after being shot. Now the military region's cannon company lacks shells and hides the mountain cannons. After a big battle, the shells were only single digits left. Minister Cha was almost crazy, but the base area was in short supply of copper materials. If you want to let the cannon company show its power, you still have to wait until the Year of the Monkey and Horse Month.
It is impossible to draw guns from the base. Although the Eighth Route Army has a lot of guns, it is impossible to draw thousands of guns out at once. If Zhao Hu suggested to Cha Laoxiao, he would definitely be beaten to death!
But now this independent division cannot be fought over at once, and it has to make a plan slowly and cannot arouse suspicion from above. Therefore, Zhao Hu's only way is to find a gun and replace the shells!
"Where is there a gun nearby?"
Zhu Cong's eyes suddenly shone out: "Lingshou, don't think about it. The Japanese there are all problems with self-protection. Last time, they were beaten hard by your Eighth Route Army and were licking the wound. Even if they were killed, it would be more costly. If you want to say that there are many guns, there is a place, which is Zhengding Station!"
"Zhengding? You might as well not say that it is the Japanese's nest. If you want to die, go by yourself. I won't accompany you!"
Only then did Zhao Hu realize that Zhu Cong seemed to be a corrupt official, but his goal was even greater, and his ambition was more than that of Zhang Cheng who was not dependent on his control!
"We have a way, but we don't dare to start because of insufficient troops. We have always heard that Captain Zhao has a special force and is good at sneak attacks. Therefore, as long as we join forces, the business can be completed!"
Zhao Hu couldn't help but feel moved. Although he didn't know if this was a trap, he still wanted to try it. If he really touched the warehouse, the battle after autumn would be unbeaten!
So he said to the few people: "Tell me your way and I'll go and find out. If I can really shoot it, I don't mind changing the gun to shells!"
After handing over the training to Right Arrow, Zhao Hu took three special forces teams to leave at night and went to Zhengding to find out the news.
When it comes to the route, the Hutuo River must be the one. It goes down the river and arrives at Zhengding Iron Bridge. Although there are Japanese garrisons along the way, this is the best transportation route.
To the west of Zhengding Iron Bridge, there is an island in the middle of the lake, which is narrow and long. The Japanese set up a gun tower to the west of the lake island. All ships passing by must pass by on both sides of the gun tower. Therefore, the Japanese in this stronghold were full of oil and did bad things without knowing what to do.
However, they were not worried at all. There were iron bridge strongholds two miles behind them. As long as someone wanted to come and fight Qiufeng, the reinforcements could arrive within a few minutes. Moreover, the Eighth Route Army had not been strong on the water, so they could only sigh at their many evil methods.
This stronghold with a lot of water naturally aroused covetousness from all sides. Therefore, all units, as long as they are involved, want to get a share of the pie. Their superiors are so quarrel that they can't do anything, so they simply let several troops take turns on duty, but they must not miss any of the members they should pay. So, the Japanese who were stationed at the garrison opened their eyes day and night, fearing that they would escape a small boat, and that they would lose a share of their oil and water.
Zhao Hu and his three small boats were tied with a large number of reeds and connected together, running quietly along the river. If they didn't get close to check, they would never have thought that these would be three wooden boats, and there were also a large number of weapons and personnel on the boat.
Afraid that the Japanese were alert, they stopped moving forward five or six hundred meters away from the stronghold in the middle of the lake. They leaned the boat into a dense reed on the north shore, and the personnel got off the boat to observe.
The special forces members carried out strict and meticulous disguise and observed each other for a long time. The people separated one by one and went to several locations to reconnaise. They would sneak in at night and stay there for a whole day. Only when the sky was darker would they dare to retreat quietly.
Zhao Hu was dragged by the bayonet and had to sit in the tent and ask Gouzi to send a report to summon all the independent group to support him. Zhu Cong was too smart and he didn't want to make wedding clothes for others.
Another reason is that there is a Japanese garrison along the way, with a small team of Japanese and a small number of puppet troops inside. If they are not blocked in advance, they will soon be able to block the entire river. Zhao Hu doesn't want to hand this task over to the Jinsui Army. Who knows if they will reveal it in advance? If they fight too early, they will not be able to play here.
In April and May, the green gauze tent was only more than half a person tall, and it was basically difficult to hide people. However, the special forces took advantage of the Japanese's care and tied green sorghum poles on the disguise network, lurking not far from the target, and starting a day's reconnaissance.
Zuo Jian and his group were very close to the station, which was because they were afraid that the fellow countrymen would go to the fields to weed during the day. They had observed a long time ago that even if there were too many grasses, the fellow countrymen would rather not remove them because the Japanese often did not ask about the green, red dates and white dates, and they would shoot at every turn, and they were already afraid of being beaten.
Another reason is that there are a lot of weeds, which is more conducive to hiding one's body. If you are in the slim fields behind, you can see that something is wrong from a distance.
