Their troops gathered together two days ago for a joint operation.
The commanders of the two troops are already familiar with each other.
¡°Old Zhang, your fucking face is getting thicker and thicker.
Yesterday I borrowed a light machine gun, today I borrowed a heavy machine gun at noon, and now I even dare to borrow a mortar.
I think by tomorrow morning, you will have to get me some of my anti-tank guns. "
Li Gui'an looked at Zhang Guofu and said.
When Zhang Guofu heard this, he hurriedly smiled and handed over a pipe: "Oh, look, this is not a mortar that I, Old Zhang, am coveting for you."
As he spoke, he pointed to the slightly raised mound in the distance under the night sky.
"Did you see that? That's one of the few highlands. Think about it, your mortar is placed on the reverse slope of the slope and blasts at the little devils. How powerful is it?"
Zhang Guofu said while smoking.
Behind him were busy soldiers, using the few small highlands in this wilderness to build defenses to resist the advance of the Japanese army.
The strength of the two regiments is not small. Although they are organized at the regiment level, with the attached guerrillas and subsequent additional troops, the strength of the Northern Hebei Advance Regiment has exceeded 4,000.
As for the Baoding Militia of the Fourth Army, their number is around 3,000.
A total of more than 7,000 troops need to defend an area of ??about six kilometers wide on both sides of the road.
"The slope is nice"
Li Gui'an said when he saw the soil slope over there.
Compared with other slopes, the height of that slope is more than thirty meters. On this endless plain, it can be regarded as a very favorable defensive terrain.
¡°How about it, I didn¡¯t lie to you.
I won¡¯t treat you badly. My two county brigades, with a total of four to five hundred people, have fallen to your side.
But, as I said before, although they all have guns, they don¡¯t have much ammunition. Each of them only has ten rounds of ammunition.
They work for you, but you have to take care of the food. "
Zhang Guofu said with a cheesy smile.
When Li Gui'an heard these words, he immediately said: "The relationship is great. We can still afford the bullet consumption of killing 500 people."
Although they are a security group, the ammunition supplies assigned to them by their superiors are very sufficient.
Not just them, all the troops of the Fourth Army will never lack ammunition supplies.
In addition to the ammunition Xia Yang purchased in the system, these ammunition supplies also include ammunition produced on a large scale by their arsenal in the rear.
Those arsenals are currently using assembly lines day and night to produce bullets one after another.
¡°So much ammunition has actually filled the warehouse.
Naturally, more ammunition will be allocated to the local troops below.
"Okay, let's just say this. You can transfer a few mortars to me, and I will transfer two county brigades to you."
With that said, Zhang Guofu handed over another cigarette.
Li Gui'an took the cigarette, and then shouted: "Third platoon leader, take your artillery and follow the brothers of the Eighth Route Army.
They are short of artillery. "
"Yes! Group seats!!"
Behind him, the third platoon commander who was building an artillery position said at this moment.
About ten minutes later, the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army County Brigade, led by their captain, arrived at the location of the Baoding Militia.
Li Gui'an looked at the guerrilla troops running over and found that their military uniforms were shabby, but they had been cleaned very clean. It was just that they had faded after being worn for a long time, making the original indigo clothes a little white.
What surprised Li Gui'an was that the troops were well-organized and every soldier was very energetic. At first glance, he could tell that he was ready to fight the Japanese to the death.
"Captain Li, we are ordered to assist your unit in combat. I am Qiao Baomin, captain of the county brigade."
After saying that, the captain of the county brigade, who was dark-skinned and somewhat short in stature, gave a standard military salute.
"I heard there are two county brigades, why is there only one brigade captain?"
Li Guian asked.
"We were originally two county brigades, but now we have merged them into one for the convenience of command."
Qiao Baomin said with a simple and honest smile.
Li Gui'an looked at him and said: "How many people and how many guns do we have in our army now? "
"Report, the two county brigades have 452 combat personnel and 370 guns."
Qiao Baomin replied with a sonorous and powerful voice.
When Li Gui'an heard this, he frowned and said, "Just a few guns? Isn't Lao Zhang deceiving me?"
Qiao Baomin said uneasily at this moment: "I'm sorry, it's difficult for us guerrillas to obtain supplies of weapons and equipment. This is what our superiors distribute, and the rest can only be captured."
Li Gui'an sighed, and then said: "Follow me."
As he said that, he led the way.
Qiao Baomin followed him with his soldiers, and soon arrived at the place where they stored ammunition.
Li Guian walked to the ammunition boxes, then took out the crowbar and opened one of the wooden boxes.
Inside was a Mosingana rifle wrapped in oil paper and dry straw.
This is a rifle produced by their arsenal. Because it adopts some advanced production techniques from later generations, in terms of workmanship, it is more reliable and stable than models produced in the country of origin in this era.
"this¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤"
When Qiao Baomin saw those rifles, he didn't understand what Li Gui'an meant.
Li Gui'an said: "These are rifles for you, take them and use them. The ammunition is piled over there. Each of you will receive three hundred rounds of ammunition."
For grenades, each of you will receive five grenades. The method of use is similar to that of wooden handle grenades. "
As he spoke, he pointed to the ammunition boxes stacked not far away.
Hearing these words, Qiao Baomin and his soldiers were immediately flattered.
In fact, before coming here, their leader Zhang Guofu said that there are enough bullets here.
Qiao Baomin always thought that was a lie to them, but he couldn't disobey the order and could only bring his soldiers over.
The result was good. They simply changed the shotgun for a cannon. From the original poor family with equipment and ammunition, they became the current small landowners.
"Thank youThank you, Commander Li."
" Qiao Baomin is a rather stupid person. He didn't know what to say. He held it in for a long time and just said this.
Li Gui'an laughed and said, "Okay, just kill a few more Japanese in a while."
With that said, he picked up one of the rifles, handed it into Qiao Baomin's hand and said, "Check it to see if it works smoothly."
"yes!!!"
As Qiao Baomin said, he organized the cheerful soldiers behind him to line up here to receive weapons, equipment and accompanying ammunition. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
