Chapter 127 If the devil wants to eat up the independent regiment, he must have a good set of teeth!
"According to what I have learned in recent days, the Japanese Zero fighter has never found an opponent and has never been captured. But now we have captured one. In addition, many people saw it at the time. Even if a gag order was issued later, it must have been leaked out due to the large number of people talking!"
"It's probably hard for you to understand how important the Zero fighter is to the Japanese. The Japanese navy, army and air defense of their homeland are equipped with this fighter in large quantities. Once we decipher it and the secret is made public, the Japanese Zero fighter will be useless. The huge amount of research and development funds invested, as well as the large number of fighters in service, will become scrap metal overnight!"
"I know you think I'm exaggerating, but it's not. Even if we can find out the secret of the Zero fighter, it's still difficult for us to develop a weapon to counter it. The only weapon we can use for air defense is the radio-controlled bomb!"
"The two anti-aircraft guns that the headquarters gave us before were always used for swinging fire, but after we got the radio signal deception bomb, we truly have air defense capabilities!"
"Old Li, it's useless to say more at this time. I will go to the arsenal in a moment to mobilize more people to produce grenades and mines, and give the easy-to-produce parts directly to the people for production. This way, the arsenal's output can be increased in a short period of time."
"The rockets I mentioned before will be the key to our success in countering the encirclement and suppression this time. I will withdraw all the personnel from the previous second team and find a way to produce 100 rockets within half a month to deal with the enemy's attack!"
"Nakamura Ichiro, the information you delivered this time is very timely. Our independent regiment still has some penicillin in stock. We should hurry up and deliver the remaining stock to him so that we can get more detailed information from him. This will be very cost-effective for our independent regiment!"
Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang had not expected that Lin Zhenhua had already prepared for this day. They humbly accepted Lin Zhenhua's advice. Zhao Gang lit the telegram with a match and said, "College student, I suspect that the enemy's target this time is you, in addition to the independent regiment. You must pay attention to safety. Let Duan Peng and Wei Dayong be responsible for protecting your safety. Don't refuse. Your safety is very important!"
Li Yunlong also said: "College student, stop talking like a bitch and just follow Lao Zhao's instructions. Your safety must not be in jeopardy!"
"Lao Zhao, the logistics of the troops are in your hands. I will immediately order all troops to return to their bases and prepare to deal with the enemy's attack!"
After receiving intelligence that the Japanese were about to invade, the independent regiment's defense zone became busy. Thanks to the establishment of a cement factory, the independent regiment had a large amount of cement that could be used to build fortifications. It was just that the weather was very cold and the cement took a long time to solidify. But this did not dampen everyone's enthusiasm. Instead, everyone was very excited. It was really because cement had never been used to build fortifications before, which made the soldiers feel very surprised.
Three days later, all the main combat units of the independent regiment returned to their base, and Li Yunlong immediately convened the company commanders of each battalion to hold a combat meeting.
"Stop arguing, time is running out. I don't want to listen to your nonsense. Just follow my orders! This time, the Japanese sent out a regiment plus a tank squadron, with a total of 4500 people. Their target is our independent regiment. The other directions are to prevent reinforcements from friendly forces. The Japanese want to swallow up our independent regiment in one bite. We don't even have a place to hide. We can only fight the Japanese head-on!"
"Deputy Captain Xing, can you tell me about the development of each battalion and calculate how much we have?"
Hearing Li Yunlong's question, Xing Zhiguo immediately stood up and replied: "Commander, according to the numbers reported by the people below, the total number of people in the first battalion is 800, the total number of people in the second battalion is 760, the total number of people in the third battalion is 600, the total number of people in the special service battalion is 540, and the total number of people in the artillery battalion is 400. The total strength of our independent regiment is 3100. If the militia squad is included, the total number of people adds up to 3600!"
Upon hearing this, Li Yunlong poked his teeth and said, "Damn it, I let you guys go for a few days. The staff has increased by half. No wonder you told me before that there is not enough food. If you continue to expand, even if I get twice as much food, it will not be enough!"
"This time the Japanese are coming with great force, intending to swallow up our independent regiment in one gulp, but the Japanese are not so good at it. Zhang Dabiao, your first battalion must rush to this position within three days, build fortifications with cement, establish three lines of defense for me, and use a layered blocking method to suppress the momentum of the Japanese's attack and wear them down bit by bit!"
"Captain, don't worry, our First Battalion will complete the mission!"
Li Yunlong pointed to the second location on the map and said to the Second Battalion Commander Shen Quan: "Shen Quan, you must hold this place firmly. You must not let the Japanese invaders break into the base and threaten the safety of the people in the base!"
"Commander, our Second Battalion will keep a close eye on this place and will never let the Japanese advance a single step!"
"Sun Liansheng, your special forces battalion has a heavy mission this time. The housing area of our independent regiment is relatively large. We must prevent the Japanese spies from sneaking in and causing sabotage in the base. The task on your shoulders is not easy, kid. If anything goes wrong, I will chop off your head!" Li Yunlong ordered with a serious face.
"Captain, I, Sun Liansheng, have been with you for so many years. When have I ever let you lose face? Even if I don't sleep, I will keep a close eye on the entire base and never let the Japanese spies sneak in to cause damage!"
"Old Xing, I'm handing the Third Battalion over to you as a reserve force. Zhang Dabiao can't hold on, so you have to take over immediately. Don't let the Japanese break through the frontal position!"
Xing Zhiguo also understood that only if he took over the Third Battalion would Li Yunlong feel at ease. The commander of the Third Battalion was killed by the Japanese during a mopping-up operation, and no new commander had been appointed. Xing Zhiguo was responsible for the reconstruction of the Third Battalion. He knew the situation of the Third Battalion best and was the most suitable commander.
"Captain, leave the front position to us without any worries. The Japanese won't be able to enter the base unless we all die!"
Li Yunlong looked at Wang Chengzhu, his face more serious than ever before: "Zhuzi, the artillery battalion is under your command. You must find a way to destroy the Japanese artillery unit. Li Sanwa is a good candidate. As for how to use him, go meet the college student and he will give you the answer!"
The others were curious about what the leader was thinking, but no one dared to ask. They kept the matter in mind and planned to inquire about it after the meeting.
"Zhu Ziming, you must not slack off these days. I have handed the security department over to you. If the Japanese spies sneak into our independent regiment, I will never let you off!"
Zhu Ziming stood up and replied tremblingly: "Captain, immediately strengthen the protection of key areas after returning, and never let the traitors have the opportunity to destroy important facilities in the base!"
"Alright, immediately arrange to follow my orders. I will go to each unit to check the situation in the next few days. If anyone is incompetent, I will remove him on the spot!"
Li Yunlong ended the combat meeting. Under his arrangement, the independent regiment was ready to deal with the Japanese attack.
After returning to the artillery battalion, Wang Chengzhu asked Li Sanwa to go find Lin Zhenhua, and then he led the artillery battalion to the front line urgently to build artillery fortifications in advance.
The moment Li Sanwa received the order, he already understood the hidden story. He is now the company commander of an anti-aircraft artillery company. At first he did not understand this appointment, but later he understood Lin Zhenhua's good intentions. On the one hand, he was trained on how to use anti-aircraft guns according to the contents of Lin Zhenhua's manual, and on the other hand, he was secretly training on the loading and launching of rocket launchers. He maintained confidentiality to the extreme.
Li Sanwa led his men to the Huangyaling rocket production workshop, and saw Lin Zhenhua busy at work. He hurried forward and asked, "College student, the regiment commander asked me to come to you, saying that there is an important task for me to do!"
"Third kid, I finally got you here! You've been doing pretty well these days, and your face is a lot fatter than before. Okay, I won't joke with you anymore, let's go outside and talk business!"
Lin Zhenhua put down his work, took Li Sanwa outside, and said with an unprecedented seriousness: "Sanwa, have you completed the two tasks I gave you?"
Li Sanwa stood at attention and saluted, "Reporting to the college students, Li Sanwa has completed the two tasks you assigned. The anti-aircraft artillery company can be deployed at any time!"
Lin Zhenhua nodded in satisfaction, and told Li Sanwa not to be so nervous and relax, and introduced in detail: "Li Sanwa, I have imitated the anti-aircraft artillery shells. Our two Bofors 75mm anti-aircraft guns can be put to great use this time. You have to use them sparingly. There are only 36 shells in total, and this is all our stock!"
"This time, the Japanese sent out two mixed tank squadrons, 12 Type 24 armored vehicles and Type medium tanks. These are the main offensive forces of the Japanese. We must not let them in!"
"You should be very proficient in the use of anti-aircraft guns by now. Our anti-aircraft guns are not used to deal with the Japanese fighter planes, but are specially used to attack the Japanese tanks. Damn it, don't get the wrong target! There is no good way to deal with the Japanese fighter planes at present. We can only block the attack route of the Japanese fighter planes with machine guns. There is really no better way. When we have fighter planes, we will truly have the air defense force to compete with the Japanese. It's a bit early to say these things now!"
"Our real trump card this time is the rocket launcher. I have specially produced 40 rocket launchers for this purpose. A single salvo can fire 240 rockets. Not to mention killing a regiment of the Japanese, if we are lucky, we can kill a battalion of the Japanese without any problem!"
"When you go to the front line, immediately arrange the anti-aircraft guns and rocket launchers in a concealed manner. They must not be discovered by the Japanese reconnaissance planes. Whether our independent regiment can crush the Japanese attack this time depends on how much success your anti-aircraft gun company can achieve!"
