Chapter 129 Battle of Anqing? Military planning

Hundreds of thousands of bullets, fifty thousand grenades, gold bars, silver dollars, and several fiat currencies...

Although this was not for free, but for remuneration for weapons and ammunition, and to help train technical soldiers, Yang Tianfeng was still very happy. However, he still couldn't guess what was the reason for Liao Lei's urgent need.

Therefore, while he warmly entertained the personnel sent by Liao Lei at the banquet, he was also searching for relevant historical records in his mind.

"As both anti-Japanese friendly forces, Commander Liao is so polite." Yang Tianfeng felt that the liaison officer sent by Liao Lei was very similar to a famous actor in later generations. He had greatly increased his interest and was very willing to talk to him. "He helped him in the previous episode, but Yang has not sincerely thanked him. This time, he sent so many supplies, which really made Yang feel ashamed!"

"General Yang doesn't have to be too humble." The liaison officer Niu Anqing said politely: "First the Sucheng victory and the enemy's leader was killed; then Kaifeng was restored, General Yang also made an important contribution. Outsiders may not be very clear about these, but Commander Liao knew them very well and admired them very much. At present, northern Anhui, eastern Anhui, and even central Anhui will be connected together. In the future, we will work together to fight against the war and unite with sincerity, and we will surely achieve great results."

"It is also Yang's wish to work together to achieve great results." Yang Tianfeng pondered for a moment and said, "I will prepare all the weapons and ammunitions that Commander Liao wants as soon as possible; as for technical soldiers, you can enter the class tomorrow."

"Can it be all done within half a month?" Niu Anqing looked at Yang Tianfeng urgently, "Brother is Anqing, but if the mission is broken, Anqing will not be able to do it!"

Half a month? Yang Tianfeng thought about it, and Niu Anqing's name suddenly gave him a reminder. He remembered it, no wonder Liao Lei was so generous and anxious. It turned out that he was going to do a big battle!

In the second year of the War of Resistance, Anqing had become the rear base of the Japanese invaders in Jiangnan. It is very important to garrison troops and store supplies with the advantages of the Yangtze River waterway and the Jiangnan Plain.

In history, on the eve of the first anniversary of the fall of Anqing, Liao Lei sent the 526th Brigade of the 176th Division of the Guangxi Division and the Ninth Guerrilla Column, with the support of Hao Wenbo, to launch the largest night attack on the Japanese troops stationed in Anqing City. The battle lasted for several hours, killing and wounding more than 400 Japanese troops, burning one ammunition depot and two aircraft.

The attack on Anqing in early May was less than a month before. Liao Lei was so anxious that it was because of this! Yang Tianfeng figured it out and felt relieved. It was probably because of Sucheng and Kaifeng won two consecutive major victories, which also made Liao Lei's appetite and hope bigger, and he wanted to achieve the greatest results in the attack on Anqing.

"The specific weapons and ammunition may be lacking in quantity, but I will use other weapons to compensate." Yang Tianfeng decided to be a beauty of adulthood, help Liao Lei with his strength, and then have a great victory like the Kaifeng Battle. "It's the power, Brother Niu, you don't have to doubt it. You will know if you have seen it tomorrow-" After pausing for a moment, Yang Tianfeng swallowed, but still didn't say "Where can you get two planes back to play when attacking Anqing Airport?"

Niu Anqing was skeptical, but seeing that Yang Tianfeng was confident, it was difficult to continue asking questions, so he could only wait until tomorrow to observe.

A consultant came over quickly and whispered a few words in Yang Tianfeng's ear.

"Everyone, please use it. Yang has military affairs to deal with, so I will lose my companion first." Yang Tianfeng stood up and took a leave of absence and walked out with the staff officer.

…………

The telegram for the request was sent out, and Liang Moqing and others were waiting anxiously.

Jiang Jicai had already arranged the attack matter, so he was waiting for the order, and he was destroyed. He grinned and scratched his head. He was the most anxious.

On the other hand, Song Qingpu has become much more calm. Not only does the beard on his face look mature and persistent, but the battles of all sizes have also made his mind mature.

"The chief has called back." The radio operator held the telegram in his hand, with a strange expression.

"Remember." Liang Moqing answered briefly.

The radio operator seemed to grin and said loudly: "The enemy situation has changed, and the generals can deal with it at random. You, whatever you want!"

Before the three of them fully understood, they were all waiting for the telegram. Jiang Jicai was most anxious and looked up and urged, "Continue to read!"

"It's over, I'm done." The radio operator looked innocent.

Song Qingpu laughed, slapped his butt and stood up, saying, "Just just do it, it's so easy now."

Liang Moqing rolled his eyes, took out his pocket watch and looked at it, and said, "Now, we will launch a general attack in half an hour."

After finishing the report, everyone had to go to their own positions. Jiang Jicai did not forget to remind Song Qingpu, "If you loosen a little to the west, you will not release a few reports. How can the enemy from the county town come?"

"You have something wrong!" Song Qingpu gave him a blank look, "The phone line has not been cut off, so people are still used to report the news?"

Jiang Jicai rolled his eyes at Song Qingpu, waved his hand suddenly for a long time, and turned around and left with a "cut".

…………

After sending the telegram, Yang Tianfeng did not rest, and sat in the office, flipping through documents.

Three hundred thousand bullets, one hundred thousand grenades, and several bonuses. Sun Tongxuan of the Third Army is more generous than Liao Lei because he also gets more.

With his achievements, Sun Tongxuan's goal was to achieve the goal of restoring Kaifeng and annihilation of the defending enemy. This was the first precedent for restoring famous cities and killing enemy division commanders since the War of Resistance. From Chairman Chiang to Commander-in-Chief of the Wei Dynasty, everyone was highly praised. Not to mention that after this battle, the Third Army became famous in the Chinese media.

After Wei Lihuang inspected Zhengzhou, he saw the mountain of seizures, especially the command knife, epaulette and other items of the division commander Maeda Ye, and was extremely happy. With a wave of his pen, he had one million bullets, 250,000 grenades, and a bonus of 100,000. The third army got rid of the situation of both shortage of wages and bullets. In addition, the people who moved to Kaifeng suddenly enriched the population of Zhengzhou, so that the soldiers who lost this battle were expected to be replenished in the short term, and the strength of the third army would soon be restored.

The Japanese were extremely revengeful. In order to prevent Zhengzhou from being attacked by the enemy, Wei Lihuang was transferred to the 14th Cavalry Brigade, temporarily cavalry division and a land army division, which were controlled by Sun Tongxuan and strengthened river defense.

Sun Tongxuan has more soldiers and his back is straight, but he is not alone. He pulls out bullets, grenades and some bonuses, thanks Yang Tianfeng for sending troops to help, and can exchange more new weapons. Moreover, he also spoke to Yang Tianfeng in front of Wei Lihuang and showed the power of the new weapons. Especially the sky-bombing cannon, which is like a heavy cannon, even Wei Lihuang nodded and admired.

The production capacity is still expanding, and he is really about to become an arms dealer. Yang Tianfeng smiled bitterly and read the list of weapons required everywhere, feeling that it would be difficult to ensure supply based on the current scale and production capacity of the arsenal.

After thinking for a long time, Yang Tianfeng wrote down various measures to improve production capacity of the arsenal. Since he had never had the mentality of cherishing himself, he would not control the technology of weapon manufacturing. In addition to a small number of technology being secret, he hoped that more and more arsenals could create powerful weapons to kill the Japanese.

Therefore, his first move was to transfer several technical backbones from the arsenal and report to Wei Lihuang. It was suggested that Wei Lihuang, as the commander-in-chief of the theater and the chairman of Henan Province, ordered the Houzhai Arsenal in Nanyang to start producing and manufacturing weapons such as steel fists, flying thunderbolts, grenade launchers, shotguns and other weapons. The equipment and technical forces of the Houzhai Arsenal could not be manufactured, and then the parts and ammunition that could not be manufactured by the Mangshan Arsenal.

The two companies have always produced better than the other one. Yang Tianfeng hopes that other anti-Japanese armed forces can gradually embark on the road of self-production, so that the production capacity of Mangshan Arsenal can be liberated, and production will be updated, and more powerful weapons.

Another measure to expand production is to mobilize the people to build small workshops at home, and the arsenal provides some simple equipment, tools and materials to simply manufacture, process, and assemble and package some of them to small workshops. This is actually a way to imitate the Eighth Route Army guerrillas mobilize the masses and widely process black gunpowder to create landmines.

The last method is to increase machines and increase workers. This has been adopted all along. Workers are easy to recruit, but machinery and equipment are not easy to buy. Yang Tianfeng is not stingy with money, but purchasing is also relatively difficult. When China-Vietnam and China-Myanmar access is cut off, I am afraid that even if you have money, you will not be able to buy it.

After putting together everything and equipment transformation, the production capacity of the arsenal has indeed been greatly improved. However, the stall has been expanded, not only the third column needs to be expanded, but also the surrounding anti-Japanese armed forces, even the Third Army and the 21st Army are reaching out, but the output is still difficult to meet the requirements.

Fortunately, Sun Tongxuan and Liao Lei both took out a large number of bullets and grenades, and coupled with the seizures of previous battles of the Third Column, the production of these two items can be compressed to a minimum, and the production of grenade launchers and steel fists, as well as modified heavy mortars and other weapons and ammunition.

The bottleneck is now facing another bottleneck problem. The expansion of the army, the external arms output, and the contradiction between the arsenal production.

To finally solve this problem, sooner or later, there is only one way, homemade machinery and equipment, a bumpy and difficult road.

Yang Tianfeng sighed softly. He knew he would have reached this point if he had known that he would have reached this point, but with his current technical level, it would have been difficult to achieve within a year or two, or even longer!

Before we knew it, time passed quickly, and more than three hours had passed when the staff came in to report.

Seeing the telegram sent by Liang Moqing and others, it took less than two hours for the Jiang Detachment to remove the Taipingji stronghold, wiped out nearly 300 puppet troops, and killed two Japanese consultants. Now, a brigade is left behind in Taipingjili to strengthen the fortifications; the rest of the troops are lying hidden ambush around the surrounding area, preparing to attack the enemies coming from the county town.

Yang Tianfeng was not surprised by this and hadtily drafted a call back. After the staff left, he was left in the house. It was already twelve o'clock in the evening, but he was no longer sleepy. Thinking that Liao Lei was going to attack Anqing, he picked up his pen and wrote down the details of the battle between Sucheng and Kaifeng, and prepared to give it to Liao Lei together as a reference for attacking Anqing.
