Chapter 487 Training
On the other side, Wang Xuexin, who was in command at Liyuan Airport, was actually quite nervous.
He was worried that Okamura Neji would not be fooled.
Because if Okamura Neji remains unmoved, that is, everything goes as planned, and he patiently waits for the Eighth Route Army to complete Anfeng Airport and then destroy it... then the Eighth Route Army actually has nothing to do.
The first is to attack the enemy's logistical supply lines.
The Eighth Route Army does not have many rockets, and it has only reserved more than 600 rockets until now.
The number of more than six hundred may sound like a lot, but you must know that these are rockets. Assuming that a fighter plane can carry more than a dozen at a time, more than a hundred of them will be consumed just by sending out ten fighter sorties. Rockets.
In other words, the Eighth Route Army could only carry out bombings of the same intensity six times at most.
This is because during this period the arsenal was fully engaged in the production of AK47, and almost all other aspects of production were making way for the AK47. For example, if generators were insufficient, they would be immediately transferred from other factories, if steel was insufficient, they would be diverted first, and if there were not enough workers, rockets would be stopped directly. .
These more than 600 rockets can indeed put a certain amount of pressure on the Japanese supply lines, but as long as the Japanese can survive these six times, they can then repair the bridges and tunnels.
Next is Anfeng Airport.
Anfeng Airport can indeed put a certain amount of pressure on the Japanese. For example, the Eighth Route Army's fighter planes may use this to advance layer by layer, so the Eighth Route Army will have an advantage in attacking the steel plant.
The problem is...
Once Anfeng Airport is formed and put into use, wouldn't it be over if the Japanese bombers shoot a few "man-made missiles" at Anfeng Airport in the dark? If that doesn't work, they can choose to bomb in the early morning, so that the whole day of the next day, Anfeng Airport will be safe. Feng Airport will be unusable because of failure to repair the runway.
So, can the Eighth Route Army still freely deploy fighter planes to compete with the Japanese for air supremacy?
However, Wang Xuexin still believed that the Japanese could not keep their temper.
Because the devils dare not gamble.
What if the Eighth Route Army has enough rockets?
Does that mean that the empire's logistics supply lines will be severely damaged and the empire's major event of opening up the north and south of China will be damaged?
What if there is another airport after the Eighth Route Army opened Anfeng Airport?
Will the Eighth Route Army be able to recapture the steel factory and prevent the Imperial Army from once again losing the opportunity to break through the Eighth Route Army's defense lines?
Okamura Neji did not dare to take this risk.
War is sometimes like gambling, a gamble on luck and psychology.
The Japs were obviously worse in terms of psychology, because at this time they had a clear upper hand, and they were unwilling to let an "in case" appear to ruin this good situation.
So... the Japs just jump into the trap set by Wang Xuexin!
However, even so, Wang Xuexin still stayed in front of the radio station all day and night. When he was tired, he would lie on the bed next to him to rest for a while, and when he was hungry, he would take a few mouthfuls of steamed buns.
It wasn't until dawn the next day that the correspondent reported excitedly: "Commander, the Japs are attacking, the Japs are attacking!"
Wang Xuexin, who was sitting at the table and looking at the map in a daze, suddenly sat up from his chair and asked, after a pause, "How many troops did the Japanese dispatch?"
The communications soldier was busy for a while, and then replied: "The first regiment is attacking Anfeng Village!"
Then another communications soldier said: "The discovery of a large number of Japanese fighter planes is a 'zero battle', at least fifty!"
Wang Xuexin breathed a sigh of relief. This battle was really an attack.
Then Wang Xuexin gave the order: "Order, all troops be prepared for battle!"
"Yes!" the communications soldier responded and conveyed the order amidst the beeping of the radio.
Wang Xuexin turned his attention to Chen Songyong and said: "Send a telegram to the Independence Group and ask them if they are ready?"
The only thing Wang Xuexin is worried about is the independent group.
This is not because Wang Xuexin has no confidence in the independent group, but that the preparation time for the independent group is too short.
Up to this moment, there were still two hundred repeating rifles missing... But just as Wang Xuexin was asking questions, these two hundred guns were finally made up. Su Xin had people rush to make them overnight and then rush them in with 100,000 yuan.
The rifles have just been equipped. It is a question whether they can use this rifle skillfully, let alone coordinate and form combat effectiveness.
But I didn't expect Li Yunlong to answer confidently: "No problem, Commander Wang is very confident and promises to complete the mission! If I don't come back after fighting a few good battles, I will write my name upside down!"
It turned out that Li Yunlong also knew that the production speed of repeating rifles was slow, and the training of the troops could not begin until all the guns were in place.
Therefore, he started thinking about the repeating rifles when he only had the first batch of 100. He was playing with the AK47 and thinking: "Look at what Xiao Dongbei wrote, what is important when fighting with this gun?
What kind of marksmanship should you practice? It should be about tactical formations and some combat habits! You don’t need to have all the guns to practice these things!"
So Li Yunlong shouted back: "Zhang Dabiao!"
"Arrived!" Zhang Dabiao immediately ran to Li Yunlong and stood upright.
Li Yunlong threw the AK47 in Zhang Dabiao's arms and said, "Don't you have several blacksmiths in your camp? Just fight it out like this!"
"Yes!" Zhang Dabiao responded, holding the gun and just about to turn around, he remembered something, turned around and asked: "Captain, how many shots can you shoot?"
What Li Yunlong said next frightened Zhang Dabiao. He stretched out three fingers and said: "Three thousand!"
Zhang Dabiao's eyes immediately widened: "Commander, three thousand? This is impossible! I...don't say anything else, where can I get so much iron?"
"I'm talking about you guy!" Li Yunlong cursed: "Why don't you understand? Did I say to use iron? You can just use wood to make it for me. Anyway, it's like this, whether it's filled in or not.
It’s better to put sand on top of rocks, as long as the weight is about the same!”
Zhang Dabiao said "Oh" a few times, which made it much easier to handle.
However, Zhang Dabiao still grunted: "It can be made of wood, why do you need to find a blacksmith!"
The task was quickly assigned, and each soldier made his own "repeating rifle" under the guidance of the blacksmith and carpenter. It didn't have to be too similar, just something that looked a little like it and could feel its length and weight was enough.
Then the whole regiment used this wooden repeating rifle to practice tactics.
When real guns arrive in batches, you can replace the wooden guns with real guns, and it will be much easier to get started.
Moreover, Li Yunlong also divided the troops into several groups and asked them to line up and take turns training with a few real guns.
Later, there were more and more real guns, and gradually there was no need for rounds, and by this time the tactics were almost trained.
This is also the source of Li Yunlong’s confidence.
Wang Xuexin was relieved when he heard Li Yunlong's words.
