Chapter 130 The location of the arsenal is exposed!
"Senior, look, the carts escorted by the Eighth Route Army are full of boxes. Judging from the size of those boxes, they should be weapons and ammunition!"
Gao Mu Xixiong looked at the Eighth Route Army transport team below and told his analysis to Yamazaki Jihei beside him.
Yamazaki Jihei nodded: "Yoshi, I thought so too!"
"The Eighth Route Army is transporting equipment to the front, and there are only a few people escorting them. There must be an arsenal nearby... It should be the strange target in front."
Ryoichi Kobayashi, who went to observe at the front, ran over to report to Jihei Yamazaki the information he observed.
"Sir, that strange target ahead seems to be the Eighth Route Army Arsenal!"
Yamazaki Jihei, who had just been wondering whether the strange target was the Eighth Route Army's arsenal, immediately turned around and looked at the other party after hearing what Kobayashi Ryoichi said.
"Nani?!"
"Xiao Lin, are you sure you are not mistaken, is it the Arsenal?"
Kobayashi Ryoichi nodded affirmatively.
"Yes, sir, I saw a lot of wires and quite a few Eighth Route Army workers wearing white aprons!"
"And there were constant transport teams delivering materials to that target, and also transporting a large number of boxes out of the target."
Yamazaki Jihei listened to Kobayashi Ryoichi's report and nodded excitedly.
"Yoshi, Gao Mu-kun, it looks like not only will we not be punished when we return, we may even be rewarded!"
Gao Mu Xixiong was also somewhat excited. If he could successfully destroy the Eighth Route Army's arsenal, perhaps he could become a major general.
Yamazaki Jihei waved his hand, and the Japanese soldiers who were ambushing in the rear quickly climbed up the hillside.
“Gather all the ammunition and give it to the veterans!
After running out of bullets, the troops quickly launched a charge and ended the battle quickly.
Destroy the Eighth Route Army below as quickly as possible and seize their supplies!
Then use their supplies to attack the Eighth Route Army's arsenal!"
"Turn on the radio and send a message to Commander Yoshio Shinozuka.
Tell the Commander that our Yamazaki Battalion has discovered the Eighth Route Army Arsenal. Yamazaki Jihei has decided to lead his team to destroy the Eighth Route Army Arsenal. Please send the Air Force to airdrop supplies!"
Under the command of Yamazaki Jihei, the Japanese devils began to act according to Yamazaki Jihei's orders.
After the Japanese gathered all the ammunition and handed it over to the veteran, they began to install bayonets.
Although the Yamazaki Battalion had nearly a thousand people, in fact all the bullets they had, including machine gun bullets, only added up to a little over a thousand.
Seeing that all the Japanese soldiers were ready, Yamazaki Jihei waved his arms.
"attack!"
"Kill him!"
"Hook~"
The unique sound of the Type 38 rifle rang out on the hillside.
The Eighth Route Army responsible for escorting the supplies was caught off guard.
They really couldn't imagine who had the guts to attack them here!
You should know that there are at least three main regiments of the Eighth Route Army that can be mobilized nearby, especially the New 1st Regiment and the Independent Regiment, the two most powerful main regiments.
If we include other main regiments, there are a total of more than 20,000 troops here.
……
As soon as the Japanese fired gunshots, there was movement in Guhe Town.
"What's going on? Where is the shooting?!"
Zhang Wanhe heard the gunshots and quickly rushed out of his room.
"Minister, gunshots were heard from the direction of Wangjiapo!"
"Bandits or something?"
"It's not clear yet. The battalion commander just sent scouts over to check the situation!"
"Minister, Minister, it's the Japs!"
"There are hundreds of Japanese soldiers over there at Wangjiapo!"
"Quick, call the New 1st Regiment and the Independent Regiment and ask them to send troops over for support immediately!"
"Why are there hundreds of Japanese soldiers nearby?!" "How did those Japanese soldiers get to the arsenal?!"
I heard the soldiers report that hundreds of Japanese soldiers had arrived near the arsenal.
Zhang Wanhe broke out in a cold sweat.
It would be fine if the Japanese were really heading for the arsenal.
That just means that the location of the arsenal has been exposed. There may be spies in the arsenal, or it may have been accidentally discovered by the Japanese planes.
But just this morning, the Vanguard Regiment escorted the headquarters to Guhe Town!
If the Japanese were heading for the headquarters, we would be in big trouble.
The relocation of the headquarters was top secret information. Even he only found out this morning that the headquarters had arrived in Guhe Town.
If the Japanese's target is not his arsenal but the headquarters, it means that a super big rat has appeared in the headquarters!
If such top-secret information transferred by the headquarters could be leaked, then the battle plan formulated by the headquarters...
Thinking of this, Zhang Wanhe didn't dare to continue ringing.
……
"Lao Kong, I promised to give you the equipment, and I will also give you a Type 41 mountain cannon. How about that? I think I am very generous.
Go ask around and see which regiment commander is as generous as me, Li Yunlong, to give a Type 41 mountain gun as a dowry!"
Tongshi Town, the headquarters of the New Second Regiment.
Li Yunlong proudly patted the shiny Type 41 mountain cannon in front of him and boasted to Kong Jie.
Kong Jie, who was sitting opposite Li Yunlong, did not point it out to Li Yunlong, but instead cooperated with Li Yunlong in constantly bragging about how generous he was.
After all, Li Yunlong gave him a Type 41 mountain cannon just by blowing his own trumpet.
Forget about asking him to cooperate, even if he were to flatter Li Yunlong, what would happen?
"boom!"
The sudden sound of an artillery explosion instantly diverted the attention of Li Yunlong and Kong Jie.
While Kong Jie was still observing, Li Yunlong noticed the direction from which the sound came.
"Oh no, it's in the direction of Guhe Town!"
"It's broken, the Arsenal!"
"Lao Kong, quickly gather the troops and rush over. I want to return to the independent regiment to command the troops in battle."
"Bugler, blow the emergency assembly call!"
……
And the ancient town, in a courtyard that serves as a temporary base for the headquarters.
Qin Yangming was looking at the boss in front of him at a loss at the moment.
He was a little unsure about how to tell his boss about his plan.
After all, strictly speaking, this is considered as reporting to a higher level.
The boss knows Qin Yangming very well. As soon as Qin Yangming lifts his butt, he knows whether he is going to shit or fart.
"If you have something to say, just fart now. If you don't say anything, you can leave now!"
"Boss, it's just..."
"boom!"
The sound of the explosion of the artillery shell interrupted what Qin Yangming was about to say. After exchanging a glance with the boss, the two immediately left the room.
"Have you arranged live-fire training?"
"No, the Vanguard Regiment's live-fire training has been temporarily suspended!"
"Boss, it sounds like there's a fight going on over at Wangjiapo!"
"It's strange. I haven't heard of any Japanese troops entering the Shangdang area?"
"Did neither Shiquan County nor Linyuan County report a large number of Japanese invaders entering the Shangdang area?"
