Chapter 93 The Northeastern Army’s remaining arsenal?
After Qin Yangming and Goudan arrived at Luxun Town, they quickly headed for the mountains with a group of soldiers who stayed behind in Luxun Town.
Under the arrangement of the system, those weapons and equipment appeared very reasonably in an armory converted from a cave.
And now Zhangye is leading his men to count the weapons and equipment in the warehouse.
There were a large number of weapons and equipment in the warehouse. Qin Yangming did not keep any of the points he gained from killing the Japanese devils and puppet troops in the attack on Qinghe County.
All those points were exchanged by Qin Yangming for weapons, and all the weapons in the system warehouse except the tanks were taken out and piled up in the warehouse.
In less than a month, the Japanese will launch another large-scale battle since the Battle of Wuhan.
Battle of Zaoyi!
In order to force Shancheng to surrender and complete their so-called Tong Plan, the Japanese mobilized a large number of elite troops to attack the Fifth War Zone, attempting to destroy the Chinese army in the Fifth War Zone, thereby forcing Shancheng to surrender, ending the war against China, and then launching a full-scale attack on Southeast Asia.
Qin Yangming wanted to seize this opportunity and let the Eighth Route Army launch an attack on the Japanese while the Japanese were mobilizing a large number of elite troops to the south, leaving the north with a shortage of troops, and quickly expand the base.
Not long after Qin Yangming returned to Luxun Town, Zhangye sneaked into Qin Yangming's room.
"Captain, the equipment in the armory has been counted. You will never guess how many good things there are."
Qin Yangming couldn't help but laugh when he saw Zhangye's mysterious look.
He was the one who was behind the armory, how could he not know how much stuff was inside.
However, Qin Yangming still asked Zhangye with a curious look.
"is it?
How many good things are there?"
Zhangye didn't waste any words and directly took out the list and reported to Qin Yangming.
"There are six 105mm howitzers. I don't know what model they are. They look like German products."
"There are more than 4,000 shells, some of which are red. I don't know what's going on."
"Six 40mm anti-aircraft guns, twelve thousand shells."
"Six Liao-77-type mm field guns, shells."
"There are twelve Type 41 mountain guns, but they have fewer shells, only 3,682."
"Then there are twenty 37mm flat-firing cannons with nine thousand eight hundred and seventy-two shells."
"Then there is a type of heavy machine gun that looks a bit like the Japanese Type 92 heavy machine gun, using Type 79 rifle bullets. There are 73 of them."
……
Zhangye whispered after telling Qin Yangming the weapons data counted from the armory.
"Battalion Commander, this arsenal has not been reported yet. What does the regimental commander say?"
Qin Yangming smiled and said, "What else can the captain say? Of course he wants to keep all the things."
"Ah? All of them stay?
So many weapons and equipment, especially the heavy weapons, are enough for our entire Eighth Route Army. Can our independent regiment take on so many weapons and equipment?"
Zhangye was also a little confused when listening to what Qin Yangming said.
Those heavy howitzers are not something that the current independent regiment can operate. Without trucks, those guns are fixed turrets and are difficult to move.
"Battalion Commander, we can't listen to the regiment commander on this matter. Those heavy howitzers must be handed over to the headquarters. Let the headquarters form a heavy artillery regiment. Only in this way can the power of the weapons and equipment be maximized."
"It's enough for our independent battalion to intercept some of those 75mm guns. Even the Central Army doesn't have such good equipment as us."
"Captain, you can't tell me about this. When the political commissar comes back, I will tell him secretly."
It has to be said that Zhangye had a high level of awareness. After obtaining weapons and equipment, he never considered it from the perspective of his own troops, but from the perspective of the entire Eighth Route Army.
Qin Yangming listened to Zhang Ye's words and waved his hand: "No, don't worry, the commander can't keep these equipment. The commander doesn't know what they are. He thinks they are similar to the arsenal we found before."
"With so much equipment, the brigade commander will definitely find out. We don't need to ask. He will have his own way to make our regiment commander hand over the equipment."
"What equipment should we hand over? Your brigade commander even needs to ask for it?"
Just as Qin Yangming finished speaking, the door of the room opened and a man in a coat entered the room.
Behind him were Zhao Gang and another man in the uniform of the Eighth Route Army. Qin Yangming was shocked to see the person entering the room, and then he quickly stood up.
“Nie…”
"Hey, no need to bother. I was just passing by. I heard from Zhao Gang that you were here with your troops, so I came to see you and bring you something."
The person who came was not an ordinary person, but the deputy commander of the 115th Division.
The deputy division commander walked up to Qin Yangming, compared Qin Yangming's height, and pinched Qin Yangming's arm.
"Yeah, not bad. You've grown taller and stronger. The little brat back then is now taller than me."
"If it were the feudal era, with your physical fitness, you would definitely be a fierce general who could defeat thousands of enemies."
The deputy division commander looked at Qin Yangming with relief in his eyes.
"You are quite courageous, you actually sneaked out from the northwest. Aren't you afraid that your teacher will catch you and spank you?"
"You fought well at Baihuling that time. In the last sweep, the vanguard battalion you led performed the best."
"We killed two Japanese generals and captured two regiment flags. When your teacher heard the news, he specially asked someone to make a bowl of braised pork for us."
"Deputy Commander, you came here without telling me so I could pick you up."
"What did I say? If I said that, would I still be able to hear you, a little brat, sneakily hiding your equipment?"
The deputy division commander looked at Qin Yangming with a smile, and then took the weapons list from Zhangye's hand: "I'll take the list and give it to your brigade commander later."
"I came here for another reason, which is to thank you for the penicillin you handed in last time."
"The medicine you handed in saved a very important comrade. That comrade wrote a letter of thanks and asked me to pass it on to you."
The deputy division commander took out a letter from his pocket and handed it to Qin Yangming.
Qin Yangming was also a little confused. Who did he save that the deputy division commander could deliver the letter to him personally?
And from the deputy commander's tone, it was obvious that the other party didn't know him, and had never even heard of his name.
"An important comrade who didn't know me or my name, and who was saved only by using penicillin..."
Qin Yangming took the letter and placed it in front of him with some confusion, wondering who wrote it to him.
“Is this the smell of alcohol?”
Qin Yangming smelled a faint smell of alcohol on the envelope, and he quickly realized who his medicine had saved.
The deputy division commander patted Qin Yangming on the shoulder and turned to leave. In addition to delivering things to Qin Yangming, he also had the task of receiving equipment to form the Wing Cavalry Regiment, so he was very pressed for time.
……
In Qinghe County, the brigade commander was also dumbfounded after receiving the list of Luxun Town’s arsenal from the deputy division commander.
The political commissar at the side looked at the weapons and equipment on the list and couldn't help but smack his lips: "I was wondering why Li Yunlong was so generous this time. He was actually willing to hand over most of the captured items in Qinghe County except for the war horses."
"Li Yunlong is playing a trick on me, pretending to build a plank road but secretly attacking Chencang."
"With the Luxun Town arsenal, he doesn't even look at the seizures from Qinghe County."
"I bet that after we found out about the Luxun Town arsenal, the weapons and equipment inside must have been replaced. Li Yunlong will definitely replace the equipment of the entire independent regiment and the new first regiment, and then send these light weapons and equipment back to the independent battalion overnight."
"Hehehe, this is not up to Li Yunlong. With so many weapons and equipment, Li Yunlong can't control them all. I'm sure he doesn't even know what weapons and equipment are on this list."
"Otherwise he wouldn't have thought of hiding it from us. He can't hide these heavy weapons."
"Political Commissar, get ready. We haven't tricked Li Yunlong yet this time."
"Li Yunlong, Li Yunlong, I only agreed to poke a hole in the sky for you to support it, but I didn't agree to poke a hole in the ground."
The brigade commander quickly thought of a way to make Li Yunlong willingly hand over the equipment in the Luxun Town arsenal.
The brigade commander had no choice but to do so. Li Yunlong blew up the Zhengchuan River, causing all the flat areas in Qinghe County to become muddy and impossible to farm.
He was also unable to withstand the pressure. If he handed over the weapons and equipment of Luxun Town, maybe he could appease the boss's anger.
