Volume 1 Chapter 090 What a heavy burden!
Li Yunlong looked at the shovel in Chu Yunfei's hand and couldn't understand it.
It’s just a shovel. The Eighth Route Army has no shortage of shovels like this!
What are you planning on doing by giving me a shovel in the middle of the night?
Li Yunlong looked at Chu Yunfei with a strange expression.
Chu Yunfei took the military shovel with a smile and demonstrated the function of the military shovel to Li Yunlong.
Seeing a shovel like this, it actually combines the functions of a spade, a hoe, a shovel, an axe and so on.
And most importantly, it can be folded for easy carrying.
Li Yunlong's eyes widened.
The Eighth Route Army was good at civil engineering, but they were forced to do so.
Lacking heavy weapons, there was no means to counter enemy artillery fire.
If we don't take the civil engineering work seriously, it will not be a war, but a suicide mission.
But repairing civil engineering works is not an easy task.
Use a shovel to pry, a hoe to dig, and a spade to dig. These three kinds of iron tools, combined with stacking wood and stones, can help build a qualified defensive civil engineering work.
Now a military shovel can basically meet the functions of all iron tools.
Not to mention, even the broadsword can be saved in the future.
When marching and fighting, it is impossible to carry shovels and other tools at all times.
But with this military shovel.
Even if they suddenly encountered a large number of Japanese troops or aircraft, the Eighth Route Army soldiers could use military shovels to dig trenches and reduce casualties.
Li Yunlong immediately realized how useful this military shovel was to the Eighth Route Army.
He said gratefully: "Thank you! On behalf of the Eighth Route Army, I would like to thank Brother Yunfei for the shovel! This shovel is really useful!"
Chu Yunfei waved his hand and said, "You're welcome! I'm also a soldier, and I really want to defeat the devils and strengthen our country!"
With the help of moonlight, Zhao Gang could barely see the words on the paper in his hand.
He said excitedly : "Brother Yunfei, on behalf of the Independent Regiment, I would like to thank you for sending another batch of guns and ammunition. This is what our army urgently needs!"
Hearing that there were more bullets, Li Yunlong said anxiously: "Old Zhao, what good things did Brother Yunfei bring?"
"There are three hundred rifles and 70,000 rounds of ammunition. There are also 1,000 grenades and 8 Czech light machine guns!"
These weapons were captured from the puppet army.
Most of them are Zhongzheng rifles, and many are Hanyang rifles.
Chu Yunfei took out these weapons and gave them to the independent regiment.
I just hope that the independent regiment can kill more Japanese and save more soldiers in the next battle.
In fact, Chu Yunfei was taking a great risk by giving a battalion's equipment to the independent regiment.
It took two or three months to record the guns and ammunition used in all battles, as well as the daily and monthly losses, in order to conceal it from their superiors.
300 rifles is a big deal.
But what made Li Yunlong most excited was that this time Chu Yunfei actually sent 70,000 bullets.
70,000 bullets. The independent regiment has less than 2,000 people. If they are divided equally, each person can get 50 to 60 bullets.
You no longer have to fire three shots before launching a charge and engaging in hand-to-hand combat!
Li Yunlong said excitedly: "You are such a nice guy. I, Li, will remember this favor!"
Chu Yunfei warned. "Brother Zhao, Brother Yunfei, remember to report to the higher-ups. Okamura Neiji is definitely not someone you should mess with. I have studied all the battles he has commanded. His tactical command ability ranks among the top three in the Japanese army. He is truly as still as a mountain, as aggressive as fire, and as powerful as thunder. When he strikes, it is absolutely like thunder. You must be careful."
Li Yunlong nodded heavily. "Thank you, Brother Yunfei, for reminding us. We will remember it!"
"It's getting late, I have to go back quickly. Otherwise, when the sun rises and they find out that I, the leader, am not here, it will be troublesome! Brother Zhao, Brother Yunlong, take care!"
Chu Yunfei suddenly said he wanted to join the Eighth Route Army. Li Yunlong had always treated Chu Yunfei with caution.
no way.
It’s true that Chu Yunfei’s identity is different from that of ordinary people.
Li Yunlong couldn't help but be careful.
Not to mention Li Yunlong, even Zhao Gang treated Chu Yunfei with a cautious attitude.
However, now Chu Yunfei has been sending weapons and equipment one after another, which has changed Li Yunlong's opinion of him.
This time Li Yunlong said it sincerely. "Brother Yunfei, take care!"
Chu Yunfei stood at attention and saluted them. Zhao Gang and Li Yunlong also stood at attention and saluted.
Back at the foot of the mountain, Chu Yunfei and Sun Ming took advantage of the cover of night and used the tunnel to sneak back to the regiment headquarters in Wuzhai Town.
As soon as Chu Yunfei left, Li Yunlong asked excitedly: "Old Zhao, where are those weapons now?"
"Buried in a hidden place. Let's talk about it when we get back!"
Back at the Xingjiazhuang regiment headquarters, Zhao Gang placed a map on the table.
"The weapons Chu Yunfei sent are buried here. Send someone to secretly take them tomorrow night. But what interests me more is this!"
Zhao Gang took another map and placed it on the table.
"Look, Lao Li!"
Li Yunlong was very curious, is there anything more important ?
He looked down.
typical?
He immediately lost interest.
It's not that people haven't used tunnels before, but the effect was not very good.
Chu Yunfei is a famous general, how could he come up with such a thing?
Why would Old Zhao take it so seriously?
Is there some mystery?
Li Yunlong watched on patiently.
The more he looked at it, the more he felt the magical effect of this place.
Unlike the underground cellars that each household dug for hiding in the past, this new tunnel tactic was to connect the tunnels of each household to form a spider web.
They were not afraid of being blocked by the Japanese army at the entrances and exits and being trapped in a jar.
What’s even more interesting is that the tunnel map provided by Chu Yunfei also has fire-proof, waterproof, and poison gas-proof ditches marked on it.
Very thoughtful and detailed!
"Old Li, what do you think of Chu Yunfei's proposal for underground warfare?"
Zhao Gang’s military level is not bad, but it is much worse than Li Yunlong.
But it's not surprising. After all, he is the political commissar, responsible for the soldiers' lives and thoughts.
Li Yunlong's opinions are still the main ones in military matters.
Li Yunlong thought quietly for a moment and said.
"This tunnel warfare is good and is very suitable for our army. But there are two problems. One is that we want to realize Chu Yunfei's proposal of connecting every household and every village. This project is not small. If we don't mobilize the masses, it will take at least one or two years to complete it!"
"Secondly, this tunnel warfare can also be regarded as another kind of street fighting. It is only effective when the Japanese enter the village. If the Japanese do not enter the village, they will directly send people to guard the commanding heights outside the village, and the villagers will be passive. In order to achieve the ultimate goal of the tunnel warfare, it is necessary to combine the tunnel warfare, sparrow warfare, and guerrilla warfare, mobilize the Japanese army to run back and forth, make them exhausted and waste supplies. Only in this way can it be successful! This requires the militia to have a sufficient tactical level and training!"
Zhao Gang thought about it and felt that what Li Yunlong said made sense .
"It will take quite a while, but mobilizing the masses is our party's strong point. If you think there is no problem with the underground tactics, we will report it to the headquarters in the name of the regiment!"
"Yes. Sure! No problem!" Li Yunlong was born in the Year of the Dog, and his eyes were bright. Seeing two pieces of paper next to Zhao Gang, he asked, "What good stuff is this?"
