Liu Zhen, Independent Regiment, Telecommunications Section Zhao Paner came straight to Chuxiong with a folder under his arm.
"Captain, there's an internal call!"
After Zhao Pan'er finished speaking, he handed a message to Chu Xiong, while he stood quietly aside, looking more and more like a telecommunications expert.
After Chu Xiong carefully read the contents of the message, he continued to ask Zhao Paner without changing his expression:
"Chief Zhao, has your radio station intercepted and deciphered the Japanese's valuable messages?"
"Report to the captain, not yet. The Japanese have just changed the communication password during this period, and they have strict control over the use of radio stations."
"Continue to listen to the Japs' radio stations 24 hours a day. As the Japs' preliminary preparations are completed, the messages for the later mobilization of troops and materials will become increasingly dense, and the Japs' strategic intentions will be exposed.
We must also step up the work of deciphering the Japanese's new code. Your telecommunications department is the clairvoyance and ear of the independent group, so you must play a key role! "
"yes!"
Zhao Pan'er turned around and left after saluting. Chu Xiong's words put a lot of pressure on her. The Japanese must master their rules as soon as possible.
After Chu Xiong waited for Zhao Pan'er to leave, he once again took out the message sent by the insider and pondered the true intentions of the Japanese.
"Two divisions were transferred from central China, and 20,000 additional troops were transported from the mainland. Damn, what a big deal!
If Xiao Zhuoyi Nan has not made any big move after receiving so many reinforcements, Chu Xiong will look down on him! "
"What big moves did the Japanese take in the second half of 1939?"
Chu Xiong used his brain to think about it. In the entire 39 years in his memory, the Japs in Hedong were the most honest year, and it was also the year when the Eighth Route Army developed the fastest.
Think of major historical events, movies from later generations, various novels...
"Huangtu Ridge...the flower of the famous general! Norihide Abe!"
Chu Xiong racked his brains and suddenly got an idea. The famous Battle of Huangtuling in history seemed to have happened during this period and was part of the Japanese winter offensive in 1939!
"The Japs' target is the headquarters! There is also the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei base area of the 129th Division, and they are targeting the boss again! Not long after the European War started, the mustaches were unstoppable in Bolan. The Japs must have been stimulated!"
"The Japanese were still not fully prepared for this winter offensive and ended in a disastrous defeat. The so-called flower of the famous general was killed by the Eighth Route Army. In the battle of Huangtu Ridge, Abe's mountain brigade was severely damaged. The only regret is that it was not completely wiped out."
After Chu Xiong understood this, he felt confident. What he was not sure about now was whether the Independent Regiment was also within the attack range of the Japanese;
He remembered that the Japs had only mobilized more than 20,000 people in history. If the follow-up information was confirmed, no matter whether the Japs were interested in Chu Xiong or not, since the Japs had put on a banquet, he, Chu Xiong, was going to eat at the banquet!
"Xiao Zhuoyi, I wonder if you can entertain me?"
"Come here, bring Section Chief Zhao!"
A few minutes later, Zhao Paner's report sounded outside the door again.
"Captain, are you looking for me?"
"Section Chief Zhao, call the brigade headquarters and tell them that the Japanese have made big moves recently, and the targets may be the headquarters and division headquarters.
You just need to send this message to the brigade commander, and they will verify it through internal lines. "
Chu Xiong believed that with this information, the brigade commander would soon verify that the current Eighth Route Army was more powerful than in history. The equipment Chu Xiong handed over alone was enough to equip tens of thousands of main troops, not to mention a large number of "Wei "Yi Smile" cannon and Mulan bazooka;
The method of making flying thunder cannons was originally very simple, but it was figured out a few years in advance. Now the method of making flying thunder cannons has been promoted throughout the Eighth Route Army, and even extended to the New Fourth Army.
Although they are limited by conditions, the thunder cannon they produce can only hit 150 meters to 200 meters, but this is already extraordinary. With this big killer, the firepower deficiency syndrome during an ambush can be alleviated to a certain extent. .
There is also the "Mulan" rocket launcher, which has been equipped by more than a dozen main regiments in the headquarters. Although the number is a little small, it is completely enough to carry the gun towers and fight the Japanese "Iron Bastards".
The Japs are also very poor. They only have a few Iron Kings for each attack. With these powerful weapons, the division commander has no pressure at all to deal with 20,000 Japs. He may achieve much better results than in history. He is a military god. of!
Chuxiong now wants to produce more "Mulan" rocket launchers, support them to the headquarters, and then allocate them to each regiment. If all regiments have ten or eight rocket launchers, no matter how many bunkers and gun towers the Japanese build, they will not be able to lock down the Eighth Route Army. .
A few days later, Chu Xiong received a call from the brigade commander:
"Chu Xiong, Liu Town's great victory, I haven't congratulated you on getting rich yet!"
Still a familiar recipe, still a familiar taste!
"Hello brigade commander, all the spoils of war have been handed over to the headquarters, and Captain Li and Captain He took turns to come and beat my rich man. I am a landlord now and I don't have overnight food!"
Chu Xiong was really frightened by Li Tiejun and He Weiwei's attack on the local tycoons. Although they had produced and stored some rockets and explosive packs in the past two months, a big war was about to begin, and the independent regiment itself also needed to stock up on some ammunition.
"Chu Xiong, please stop crying in front of me. Li Tiejun and He Wei are eating and occupying too much. I will find them alone. The information you sent to the headquarters has been verified by insiders;
There are only 20,000 Japs. Our division commander has no problem dealing with them. The Liuzhen base area still needs to be dominated by you. Don’t let the Japs disrupt the pace of development.
Do your own calculations and see how many rockets you can squeeze out to support the division headquarters. What is lacking now is rockets. "
Chu Xiong was really touched. The brigade commander actually started a discussion with him. It seemed that he knew that the reserves in the base area were not many, and his intelligence was always very accurate.
"Brigadier Commander, the main target of the Japanese raids this time is the division, so we should focus on the division first. I have a total of more than 400 rockets and more than 30 rocket launchers in stock here. I have left 100 for emergency use. I will send the others. Send them to the brigade headquarters immediately."
"Haha, okay! Chu Xiong, okay! I know you have a strong sense of the overall situation, and the commander will definitely praise you this time! Also, I heard that you still have a few hundred horses that you captured last time. Can't you serve me anymore?" I want to build a cavalry battalion here, but I still need 200 horses, so please send them all over this time!"
"Brigadier, you are attacking the rich!"
"Chu Xiong, why am I just beating you up? The headquarters, division headquarters, Li Tiejun, He Wei, and I, the brigade commander, haven't benefited at all."
Chu Xiong was speechless on the spot. How could it be like this? The plan to expand the cavalry company into a cavalry battalion went bankrupt...
"Report to the brigade commander, of course there is no problem if you come to fight the local tyrants, but there are only more than 260 captured horses left. I am preparing to expand the cavalry company into a cavalry battalion."
"Chu Xiong, if you want to go to heaven, you have to set up a cavalry battalion for an independent regiment, so I, the brigade commander, can't set up a cavalry regiment? Stop talking nonsense, keep 60 horses, and send the remaining 200 to the brigade headquarters!
Do you want me to bring a group to Liu Town as a guest? "
When Chu Xiong heard this, he gave up on the spot. If the brigade commander brought a regiment, it would not be a matter of losing 200 horses. Anyway, the independent regiment would have pressure to raise a cavalry battalion.
"Brigade Commander, you have a lot to do, and you are not an idle guy like Commander Li! I just thought about it, the independent regiment really cannot support a cavalry battalion, so I sent someone to the brigade headquarters together with the rockets about the horses."
When the brigade commander heard this, he immediately laughed and cursed:
"You kid has already realized this. Do you still need me to go to Liu Town in person?"
"brigadier…"
The other end of the phone has long hung up.
"This is too realistic!"
Chu Xiong shook his head helplessly.
"Come here, tell Chu Dapeng to take the Fourth Battalion and the First Company and follow me out to do something!"
