Rise From Eight Hundred Chapter 1183

Just the baggage belonging to the 20th Division, the 18th Division, and the 108th Division is already dazzling.

You have to know that two type divisions and one B-type division total more than 80,000 people. They are responsible for supplying these 80,000 people with food for at least 2 months. According to the Japanese baggage soldiers captured in the baggage warehouse area, how much food is needed? According to oral confession, the amount of polished rice alone is at least 3 million kilograms!

This number almost made a group of Chinese army generals headed by the white-haired general smile.

Whether it is southeastern Shanxi or southern Shanxi, what the nearly 300,000 Chinese army lacks most is not ammunition. In addition to food, it is also food.

The consumption of a 300,000-strong army is exaggerated. Even if each person eats 3 taels of rice a day, that would cost 90,000 kilograms a day, or 2.7 million kilograms a month!

3 Two meters of noodles, in the future, will only be enough for an ordinary person's meal, but for the Chinese army at this time, it is already an excellent treatment. How can it be mixed with some wild vegetables and cornmeal to make the stomach full? , and there are fringe military groups like the 80th Army and the Sichuan Army that grandma doesn't love and uncle doesn't love. Rice is hard to find, but cereals such as potatoes, sweet potatoes, millet, and wheat noodles are good.

3 million kilograms of polished rice. Even if 1.5 million kilograms are divided and the rest is divided among the 5th Division, each family can still get more than 200,000 kilograms on average, which is enough to feed tens of thousands of soldiers who have experienced the war for a month. , you said that when the Chinese generals heard this, how could they not all laugh so hard that their noses and eyebrows could not be seen?

But this is only a small start to Shimen, the forward base built by the Japanese army.

There are also spare firearms warehouses for three divisions here. The moment the warehouse was opened, looking at the dazzling array of firearms and ammunition, it is said that Comrade Wang Xiaoqiang, who was the first to enter the warehouse, asked his first battalion commander to give him a mouthful. To make sure you are not dreaming.

And such warehouses are not just one or two warehouses, but dozens of them neatly arranged. It is said that the Japanese army spent three months just building this baggage warehouse area.

So much so that Wang Xiaoqiang, a strong man who hated the Japanese army so deeply, ignored the Japanese troops guarding the luggage warehouse area who waved white flags and accepted their surrender.

For this reason, he personally went to the headquarters that had been established in Shimen City and apologized to Deputy Director Tang, who issued the order to kill all Japanese troops before the general offensive: "In order to preserve supplies, our regiment accepted the surrender of a total of 300 Japanese troops, which violated the Military order, I'm here to take the punishment!”

"How can we? No military order is dead. It can be decided randomly according to the different battle conditions. Big brother is naturally much better than me in this regard." Tang Dao is not a saint, and he also has his own personal preferences.

For this seemingly naughty general who was actually very strong at heart, Tang Dao was very close to him, so there was no harm in opening a back door for him. What's more, he had done nothing wrong. As Tang Dao said, orders are death. Yes, people are alive and must be broken randomly.

If one or more rooms were blown up by the desperate Japanese army because of the slaughter of a few heavy troops with little combat effectiveness, then it would be a shame to the Chinese soldiers who died during the siege.

After they had won the victory, they still came here without hesitation. Their core idea was one - give the Japanese a threesome!

Kill them all! Grab them all! Burn it all!

“Brother, if you don't punish me, I'll have a headache too!” Wang Xiaoqiang took the initiative to accept the punishment but was let go. Wang Xiaoqiang still cried out in pain.

“How to move so much supplies!”

Indeed, the spare firearms arsenal of a Japanese division is almost the standard equipment of an infantry brigade!

Artillery: 4 75mm mountain guns, 10 92mm infantry guns, 4 37mm rapid-fire guns, 4 90mm mortars;

Guns: 72 Type 92 heavy machine guns, 108 Type 96 light machine guns, 108 50mm Type 89 grenade launchers, 4,800 Type 38 rifles, and 156 Southern Type 14 pistols.

Just the spare firearms of a division can almost arm an infantry division!

The Japanese are very sophisticated. In addition, they also have half a battle-worthy ammunition reserve. Each rifle is equipped with 200 rounds of bullets. The rifle bullets alone are about 3 million rounds, the light and heavy machine gun bullets are about 4 million rounds, and grenade grenades. 20,000 rounds, about 30,000 rounds of various types of artillery shells!

If this is all captured, the Chinese generals and colonels would probably be satisfied and would not want to give it up. If they take it back and divide it, each infantry division can set up an infantry battalion with full Japanese equipment.

But you have to think about it, this is not a supply for one division, but for three divisions. These figures must be multiplied by three.

That completely means that even if they are divided into half of the war zone, five infantry divisions can form an all-Japanese infantry regiment. They don't have to worry too much about ammunition supplies. They have been fighting for a year with the millions of machine rifle bullets in front of them. , several infantry divisions have never fired so many bullets.

“What a bitch, no wonder I can't defeat the Japanese, they are so **** rich.”

This is definitely not what Wang Xiaoqiang thinks alone, but the sentiment of all the Chinese generals and colonels present who saw the list of seizures, including Tang Dao.

War is about national strength!

However, Tang Dao knows better that the Japanese are now at the peak of their national power. In less than two years, Japan's national power will decline rapidly. Not only that, they can only join Mustache's team, causing the American cowboys to cut off their Oil imports account for 80% of Japan's oil needs.

Without oil, giant ships, tanks and artillery can only become a pile of scrap metal. Why can't Japan be impatient? The reason why the international arms dealer was stabbed in the **** was not because the Japanese were really crazy about begging, but because they had no choice but to fight to the death!

Then, they were rubbed against the ground by dozens of giant ships and tens of thousands of gray machines manufactured by the world's largest national factory.

In addition to national strength, there is another thing called war potential. The Japanese do not have this thing, but China does.

Yes, the supplies were piled up like a mountain, which dazzled the eyes of all the Chinese generals present, but the happy worry was how they would transport these supplies away.

Want to rely on the 30,000 troops who came to carry their handbags on their shoulders, just like the time in Licheng, when ants evacuated Licheng like a moving house?

That's really too much to think about.

Not to mention that the Japanese army will never leave Jindong's army that long. In two or three days at most, they will organize an army of at least one division to counterattack Shimen. Once they are bitten, they will wait until the 18th Division and 20th Division on the HD side. The remnants of the regiment have returned, and even if the 30,000-strong army can retreat, half of it is already the best result.

The Japanese are very good at breaking things and letting you carry them. You can carry 50 kilograms by yourself! Just 3 million kilograms of polished rice cannot be moved.

What's more, do you think anything can make Tang Tuanzuo, who has seen the world, open his eyes in shock? Just rely on those bolt-fire rifles and small-caliber artillery that couldn't be used on any big stage in my childhood?

Don't forget, the current Four Lines Regiment is almost completely abandoning bolt-action rifles. We only need to wait another three to five months for the arrival of Krupp's cargo ship, and semi-automatic rifles will become the standard equipment for individual soldiers of the Four Lines Regiment.

From now on, the so-called "hand-to-hand combat" of the Japanese army's charge to show their martial prowess is purely a suicide tactic, at least in the case of the Si Xing Regiment.

A rifle that can fire ten bullets without pulling the bolt and just pulling the trigger will not give you a chance to stab the bayonet, unless the opponent's force is five times or even ten times more than the infantry of the four-line regiment.

Before entering the city, Tang Dao had already told General Baifa that the Si Xing Regiment did not need any ordnance and ammunition supplies, food and money, but he would not refuse!

However, as the inventory of materials continued, Tang Dao could not help but be stunned by a category of materials.

In these small days, are our collective brains down?

In several warehouses in the baggage warehouse area, Qian Dazhu unexpectedly found machine tools and materials, not one or two, nor one ton or two tons, but hundreds or thousands of tons.

In fact, this thing did not belong to a young man, but belonged to a certain old man more than half a year ago. However, with the defeat of the Xinkou Battle, a certain old man had no time to completely transfer the thing that he had worked hard for 20 years to become the largest in China. The arsenal, and finally the original city fell, making life easier for everyone. Tang Dao remembered that in time and space, the Japanese army used two special trains just to transport machine tools. In the end, these machine tools were all transported back to Japan and became an accomplice of the Japanese army in manufacturing guns and ammunition.

But in this era, why do they still stay in Shimen? Tang Dao doesn't know the reason.

But that's not important. What's important is that with these machine tools and materials, the Sixings Regiment Arsenal will usher in a quantitative change to a qualitative change!

From then on, it became possible not only to make bullets and guns, but also to make cannons. Individual rocket launchers, Type 02 14.5 single-barrel high-level dual-purpose machine guns and even 107 rocket launchers may not just stay on the design drawings.

Titanium alloys in the future cannot be refined, and the heavy machine gun body weighing only 72 kilograms cannot be made due to the limitations of the times. Tang Tuanzuo can also completely accept the fine steel and 150 kilogram gun body.

After all, the Sulotong 20mm machine gun and Browning 12.7mm heavy machine gun currently equipped as the main equipment of the Fourth Army Regiment both weigh close to 200 kilograms.

If the lightweight tactical goal cannot be achieved, then continue to strengthen the firepower. Tang Dao perfectly inherits the phobia of insufficient firepower in the bones of future Chinese soldiers.

In the future, even if the Chinese army undergoes modernization reforms and turns infantry divisions into combined brigades, they will also be heavy-armed combined brigades, with 100 main battle tanks and more than 20 self-propelled howitzers. The battalion is equipped with various artillery pieces, and the firepower output of a brigade is absolutely jaw-dropping.

All of this, apart from financial resources, is the development of manufacturing industry. Without manufacturing industry, not to mention artillery, even a lighter cannot be made.

Machine tools, materials and skilled workers are the foundation of manufacturing!

Tang Dao immediately ordered those warehouses to be under martial law, and no other troops were allowed to approach except the Four Lines Regiment. He immediately met with General Baifa and telegraphed Commander Liu of the 921st Division to express his attitude. Except for this batch of supplies, all other trophies were not needed. .

The two generals knew that the Four Lines Regiment had a secret arsenal, and that many weapons and ammunition on their side came from that arsenal. In the future, the arsenal would become bigger and stronger, and the two infantry divisions would naturally continue to obtain supplies from it. It was said that the Four Lines Regiment , not much different from their own.

Since he immediately agreed to Tang Dao's request, the two commanders of the Jindong Frontline Command and the Shimen Frontline Command gave the green light. Moreover, the victory of the Jindong counterattack mainly relied on the 17th Division and the Four Lines Regiment to defeat the Japanese invaders in one fell swoop. With the income from the 21st Division and the 39th Brigade, he could at least divide hundreds of thousands of kilograms of food and a Japanese infantry regiment that could be armed to the teeth. Even if the other division commanders listened to the reports from their subordinates, they turned a blind eye and pretended not to know.

This is also the wisdom of the world. Although they are hot-blooded soldiers, they are also good people. I know that there will probably be more cooperation to fight against the enemy in the future. The more capable the 921st Division, the 17th Division and the Four Lines Regiment are, the higher the chance of survival for these friendly forces. The bigger it is, why not give up some resources?

　In team fights, it's impossible for everyone to be strong. As long as there are one or two who are strong and can lead the rhythm, it will be fine.

Hundreds of various machine tools and thousands of tons of materials are the essence of the seizure of Shimen. For Tang Dao, they would rather throw away the food and weapons, and all these materials must be transported back.

So, on the morning of September 17, the Eightyth Army issued a general mobilization order, and the tens of thousands of troops that had just finished their counter-encirclement and suppression campaign regrouped and rushed to eastern Shanxi.

The 108th and 109th Divisions, which had been severely beaten and retreated to the county towns, were almost frightened. They didn't understand why the Chinese were so crazy.

The 108th and 109th Divisions, which have withdrawn into the city, now know very well that since the Shanxi Encirclement organized by the Front Army Headquarters was broken, the number of Chinese troops in southeast Shanxi plus Shanxi East has reached more than 100,000, and their morale is strong, let alone Their strength was already less than 40,000 due to casualties in sneak attacks. Even at the peak of their strength, if they encountered these hundreds of thousands of Chinese elites, they would be beaten to tears.

What's more, because the area occupied by the front army is getting larger and larger, and there are more and more troops stationed, it is impossible to organize more than two divisions of reinforcements in a short period of time. If the Chinese attack the county they are defending with all their strength, they will It was a fluke to hold on to half of it.

To put it bluntly, the two defeated Japanese second-line divisions can only "tremble" in the county town. Even if they watch the army passing by the traffic line, they can only watch helplessly, not knowing what the Chinese want to do.

The 18th Division and the 40th Infantry Brigade of the 20th Division, which were still fighting back and forth with the 921st Division and the 104th Division in the HD area, received this information and felt as if they were facing a formidable enemy and completely lost their support. Shi Men's mind began to build a position to avoid being overwhelmed by the sudden increase in tens of thousands of troops.

Even Gen Sugami was anxious. He sent several telegrams to order the 18th Division to prepare for defense. He even did not hesitate to send a message to Shannan and ordered the frontline commander Shiro Itagaki to deploy a 10,000-person detachment to standby and prepare to support the area in HD at any time. The 18th Division and the 20th Division.

This is to demolish the east wall to repair the west wall. There are 100,000 Japanese troops in southern Shanxi, but they face 200,000 Chinese troops. Without enough aircraft support, even if the Chinese army's artillery fire is weaker, the two Fighting one is not that easy.

The deployment of tens of thousands of troops undoubtedly put the Japanese army in southern Shanxi in danger. Even when an important base like Shimen was about to become a staple of the Chinese population, Shanshan Yuanke never paid this attention, but on the 17th This morning, I was forced to make this decision.

After all, the 21st Division was only defeated, and the 39th Infantry Brigade that was surrounded and killed was just a brigade. The imperial army has never had a precedent of a division being completely annihilated. If it was surrounded and annihilated by tens of thousands of Chinese troops, it would undoubtedly be It was rubbing the face of the entire Imperial Army on the ground.

But obviously, they thought too much!

It is said that there are tens of thousands of troops, but in fact there are less than 10,000 regular troops, and at least 40,000 of them are civilians. They are not carrying guns, but shoulder poles, and they are not carrying bullet belts but food bags!

Their destination is Jingxing Railway Station!

Because the Battle of Shimen took less than 3 hours to capture the entire city, the Japanese defenders of Shimen who lost their unified command were driven around like ducks before they had time to do the final damage.

Not only the baggage warehouse is well preserved, but also the Japanese Shimen Railway Station including the four trains in the station are intact.

"There are definitely Chinese people at the train station who will drive the train. Find them and tell them that as long as they can help our army transport supplies, as long as they are willing, he and his family can board the train and evacuate to Shanxi Province with us and give them a generous settlement. cost.

Also, the same goes for the porters. As long as they think they are still Chinese, they will move for me and empty the Japanese warehouses. Don't leave even a grain of rice for me.

Are you afraid that the Japanese will come back for revenge? It doesn't matter, if you want to leave, come with us. Even if you don't want to leave, it doesn't matter. There are many Japanese prisoners of war here. As long as they dare to attack our people, I will dare to hang the heads of ten times the number of Japanese soldiers on the Taihang Mountains the next day.

Post my last words throughout the city to appease the people! "After Tang Dao personally inspected the train station, he directly issued such an order.

His murderous intent was so strong that even a veteran soldier like Wang Xiaoqiang had chills all over his body.

He believes that as long as the Japanese dare to do the first grade of junior high school, Tang Dao will definitely do the fifteenth grade!

Furthermore, Wang Xiaoqiang also believes that the Japanese will believe it.

Because, Tang Tuanzuo, who fought a **** road from Songhu, walked along the road, and the road he walked was paved with Japanese corpses.

If it weren't for the fear of international influence, maybe Tang Tuanzuo would go to Beijing to watch after every war!

PS: A close relative died of illness in Fengyue's hometown. Fengyue will take her old father back to her hometown tomorrow morning. She will take a day off in advance and wait for her return on Sunday afternoon. There should be an update in the evening! Feel sorry!
