a few months later
Taiyuan First Army Headquarters
Yoshio Shinozuka gathered all the important officers of the First Army together. Yoshio Shinozuka looked excited and said, "Everyone, let me tell you some good news."
"General, what good news? Could it be that we have found traces of the strategic master of the 18th Army?" A Japanese officer was suspicious.
For months, intelligence warfare and espionage continued despite the fact that they had taken a heavy toll on the Empire's agents.
It's just that the intensity has been reduced a lot. After all, too many agents have been lost and there is not enough manpower.
"No." Yoshio Shinozuka shook his head, "The strategic master of the 18th Group Army was hidden too deep and was not found."
"What's the good news, General?"
"Commander Okamura called me just now. The Kwantung Army has agreed to lend us fifty aircraft." Yoshio Shinozuka said happily, "In addition, Commander Okamura will support us with some aircraft and Our First Army currently has more than 20 aircraft, and the number of aircraft our First Army can fight will reach one hundred!"
As soon as Shinozuka Yoshio finished speaking, the Japanese officers immediately exploded their nest:
"Yoshi, that's great. What our army lacks most now is air support."
"Yes, one hundred aircraft, although it is only half of our air power last year, is completely enough to deal with the Jinsui Army or the 18th Group Army."
"That's right, we have planes, and now we can bring up retaliation by force again."
"The 18th Army is hiding in the mountains. We have planes. With the help of planes, we can try to launch another encirclement and suppression campaign. Even if there is any danger, the aviation force can provide timely rescue."
"Destroying the 18th Group Army by force is the right way. The spy war and intelligence war should have stopped long ago."
…
"Everyone, please be quiet." Yoshio Shinozuka waved his hand to silence all the Japanese officers.
Yoshio Shinozuka continued: "Everyone, after a few months, everyone must have summarized the biggest reason for our failure in the encirclement and suppression campaign last year. The biggest reason why we lost those important battles was not because we were in the 18th The plan of the strategic master of the group army was that we lacked sufficient aviation reinforcements. If we had had timely reinforcements from aviation units, those battles would not have resulted in that outcome. But now, we have sufficient aviation units again. When we encircle and suppress the Eighteenth Group Army again, even if the strategist of the Eighteenth Group Army has any treacherous plots, they will definitely have no meaning in front of our aircraft. This time, the Eighteenth Group Army will be completely wiped out. Just around the corner!”
"General, I have an idea." A Japanese officer said.
"Say." Shinozuka Yoshio looked at this person.
"I think that in order to encircle and suppress the 18th Group Army, we should first expel or eliminate the Jinsui Army with all our strength. After expelling or annihilating the Jinsui Army, we can then fully encircle and suppress the 18th Group Army in the mountains." The Japanese officer suggested. Said, "After all, encircling and suppressing the mountains takes a long time, and cannot be achieved in a short time. The troops of the 18th Group Army are extremely good at guerrilla warfare. If we cannot attack the 18th Group Army for a long time, the army will be exhausted by then, and the Shanxi-Sui Army will take the opportunity to attack us. It might be bad if you attack from behind."
As soon as the Japanese officer finished speaking, before Yoshio Shinozuka could speak, other Japanese officers immediately raised objections: "This is wrong. If our army does not have enough aviation units to encircle and suppress the 18th Group Army, it will definitely It is indeed necessary to expel or destroy the Jinsui Army first. And our army will soon have hundreds of aircraft and hundreds of aircraft reinforcements. Even if the encirclement and suppression of the 18th Group Army does not go smoothly, the Jinsui Army will not dare to attack. Let’s go wild behind us!”
"Yes, we have hundreds of aircraft. The Jinsui Army has no air defense capabilities. They have no right to act recklessly. I think we should put all our efforts to encircle and suppress the 18th Group Army first!"
"The trouble the Eighteenth Group Army caused to our First Army last year has been turned into a joke by the guys in the Navy. Now that we have enough aviation forces, we should immediately eliminate the Eighteenth Group Army to avenge our shame!"
"Yes, we should first encircle and suppress the 18th Group Army with all our strength. The Jinsui Army is just a clown, nothing to worry about!"
…
"Everyone, stop for a moment." Shinozuka Yoshio said, "Yamaguchi-kun proposed to destroy or expel the Jinsui Army first, which is not wrong. Most people think that the 18th Group Army should be encircled and eliminated immediately, which is not wrong either. But this Once, Commander Gangcun had important instructions!"
Upon hearing Gangcun Cining's instructions, all the Japanese officers immediately stood up solemnly.
"Commander Okamura said that the Kwantung Army will only lend our aircraft for one month. We are limited to annihilating the 18th Group Army within one month!" Shinozuka Yoshio said.
"General, that's an encirclement and suppression of the mountains. One month is probably a bit hasty." After Yoshio Shinozuka finished speaking, the Japanese officers shouted.
"Yes, that's right. A month's time is indeed rushed, but there is no way. The situation between the Kwantung Army and the Soviet Union is still very tense. It is already good for someone to borrow the plane for a month." Shinozuka The righteous man said, "Everyone, this is an opportunity for our First Army to avenge its humiliation, and it is also a test. In one month, we will wipe out the 18th Army. Do you have the confidence?"
"Yes!" The Japanese officers all responded in unison.
"Yo Xi." Yoshio Shinozuka nodded with satisfaction, "Next, we will discuss the specific matters of the encirclement and suppression. Before the Kwantung Army's plane has flown to our Taiyuan Airport, we immediately discussed the details of the encirclement and suppression in advance. "
The time the Kwantung Army borrows a plane starts from the moment the plane lands at Taiyuan Airport.
So, to be precise, Yoshio Shinozuka still has some time.
"Hayi!"
…
Yoshio Shinozuka was discussing the specific matters of the encirclement and suppression, and Wu Ze was also testing the 88 anti-aircraft gun.
After several months of development and rush work, the other parts of the 88 anti-aircraft gun have basically been produced, and the 88 anti-aircraft gun is also being assembled urgently.
Each assembled 88 anti-aircraft gun must be tested.
Wu Ze personally supervised it.
boom!
boom!
boom!
…
In front of him, with the sound of smooth shell explosions, Wu Ze wrote on the folder: The thirteenth 88 anti-aircraft gun passed the test.
"Director Wu, can our squad take this gun right away?" Thirty-six anti-aircraft guns trained thirty-six anti-aircraft gun squads.
Only after the anti-aircraft artillery test has passed the test can it be issued to the anti-aircraft artillery team.
Only when an anti-aircraft gun team has an anti-aircraft gun can it be considered a true anti-aircraft gun team.
Without guns, we can only wait.
The thirteenth anti-aircraft gun passed the test, and the squad leader of the thirteenth squad came over eagerly to ask for the gun.
"Of course." Wu Ze nodded, and then the 13th squad happily took away the 88 anti-aircraft gun that had passed the test.
"Director Wu, when can the test of the 14th anti-aircraft gun start?" Squad 14 was very anxious.
"We'll have to wait until the assembly is completed at the arsenal, tomorrow at the earliest." Wu Ze could understand the mood of the anti-aircraft artillery soldiers.
But there's no point in being anxious.
The 88 anti-aircraft gun cannot be assembled in a hurry and must be done one by one. A small flaw may become a fatal hazard during combat.
"Hey, go back, everyone, come back tomorrow." The people in Class 14 had no choice but to leave.
Wu Ze returned to the arsenal, checked the assembly of the 88 anti-aircraft gun in the workshop, and then returned to his room to start tinkering with the AK47 rifle.
Wu Ze happened to have all the parts for the AK47 rifle.
When Wu Ze was about to assemble the parts into a gun, someone came over: "Director Wu, Brigadier Li from the New First Brigade and Brigadier Kong from the Independent Brigade are here to see you."
"Let them come in." Wu Ze nodded. He knew what Lao Kong and Lao Li wanted to do here.
In the past few months, although the Independent Brigade and the New First Brigade went out for some activities, the fighting... How should I put it, even Lao Li and Lao Kong felt that they were not as enjoyable as last year.
Now that these two people are coming here, they definitely want Wu Ze to give some advice. They can take the troops out and do some big work.
"Xiao Wu, look what Lao Li has brought for you." Li Yunlong brought a large amount of food.
Kong Jie was not far behind: "Xiao Wu, although my old Kong's things are less than those of Li Yunlong, I guarantee you will be more satisfied."
After that, Kong Jie handed Wu Ze a few books.
"Haha, you two, drink water." Wu Ze took the order and poured water for the two of them.
"Xiao Wu, I think you are not enthusiastic enough to welcome me, Lao Li." Li Yunlong pushed the water, "Drinking water is boring, you should treat me, Lao Li, to a drink."
"Old Li, do you think everyone is an alcoholic like you..." As Kong Jie spoke, he unceremoniously took out a bottle of Fenjiu from what Li Yunlong had brought, opened the bottle directly, and then asked Wu Ze seriously: "Little Wu, are you drinking?"
"Lao Kong, I won't drink, thank you." Wu Ze shook his head.
"Xiao Wu, thank you for inviting me, Lao Kong, to drink. You're welcome, Lao Kong." Kong Jie smiled and started to drink directly from the bottle.
Li Yunlong was furious and came to snatch it: "Kong Erluozi, you shameless guy, put it down!"
As a result, Li Yunlong and Kong Jie drank half of the wine each.
After drinking this wine, Li Yunlong got straight to the point: "Xiao Wu, look at how many months have passed, and my new brigade hasn't done any big work this year. Do you think you can give us Lao Li a chance?" Single."
Kong Jie argued: "Li Yunlong, you made a lot of contributions last year. For this big job this year, my independent brigade should take priority."
"You idiot Kong Er, why don't you take a piss and look after yourself? With the conditions of your Independent Brigade, can you compare with my New First Brigade!" Li Yunlong glared, "Don't put yourself in it, we will still have to wait for you when the time comes. Li Lao you."
"Li Yunlong, except for the equipment, our independent brigade is worse than you in other aspects." Kong Jie was very impressive.
"Both of you, stop arguing." Wu Ze said while assembling the guns: "If I predict correctly, Shinozuka Yoshio's side should soon launch a large-scale encirclement and suppression of our army. At that time, you two will have a lot of Fight.”
"It's hard to say," Kong Jie said, "It's been several months, and there's been no movement from that old devil, Shinozuka Yoshio."
Li Yunlong said: "Kong Er is stupid, Xiao Wu said that Yoshio Shinozuka is going to launch a large-scale siege, so he will definitely come."
"Yes, yes." Kong Jie nodded.
Wu Ze's words have always been effective.
"Xiao Wu, I heard that more than a dozen 88 anti-aircraft guns have been assembled. Do you think you can give me, Mr. Li, twelve more guns now? Let's kill them first before Yoshio Shinozuka comes over!" Li Yunlong said to Wu Ze.
Kong Jie scolded: "Li Yunlong, you shameless guy, there are only thirteen 88 anti-aircraft guns in total now, you are going to get the damn twelve. You are worse than the rich landlord!"
"Lao Kong, don't I only have twelve schools, and I've left one for you, Lao Kong, don't you appreciate it!" Li Yunlong said righteously, "Xiao Wu came from my new regiment, no matter what I, Lao Li, have always been the object of limited consideration at all times, do you understand?"
"Old Li, you are so awesome, do you dare to tell the teacher like this!" Kong Jie couldn't defeat Li Yunlong, so he brought out the teacher to suppress him.
Although the teacher wears glasses, he looks gentle and doesn't speak loudly.
But Lao Li never dared to speak loudly in front of him, he was very timid.
Our Lao Kong is different... ahem, it's the same.
"Why don't you dare? Why don't I dare!" Li Yunlong's eyes widened. The teacher is not here, so we, Old Li, have the confidence to speak!
"Old Kong, Old Li, the 88 anti-aircraft gun is now a secret of our army. We can't just take it out now." Wu Ze shook his head.
"Xiao Wu, this 88 anti-aircraft gun has been built, it can't always be a secret." Li Yunlong said.
Kong Jie said: "Li Yunlong, do you think Xiao Wu is as careless as you think? This 88 anti-aircraft gun is a secret. Xiao Wu must use it as a trump card, right, Xiao Wu."
"Well, that's right." Wu Ze nodded, "If my judgment is good, Yoshio Shinozuka will definitely borrow a lot of planes. Once the planes are in place, Yoshio Shinozuka will immediately launch an attack on our 18th Group Army. A new round of encirclement and suppression. Our anti-aircraft guns are all assembled, and the number is only thirty-six. Compared with the Japanese aircraft, there is definitely no numerical advantage. We have to find a way to find out the number of Shinozuka Yoshio's aircraft. , and then destroy them all in batches, otherwise, you two must have a deep understanding of how powerful the Japanese aircraft are."
"Yeah, that makes sense." Li Yunlong nodded, "The Japs' planes are very rampant and powerful, so this is the way to use their trump card..."
Before Li Yunlong finished speaking, he finally noticed the AK47 rifle in Wu Ze's hand that was about to be assembled.
Because the AK47 rifle had too few parts, Li Yunlong didn't even pay attention to it at first.
Looking at it now, Wu Ze actually assembled such a few parts into a gun that he had never seen before. Old Li was stunned.
Kong Jie also noticed it, and he looked over: "Xiao Wu, is this a new gun you made?"
"Well, I took the time to think about a new gun..." Wu Ze didn't finish his words.
Li Yunlong immediately had an opinion: "Xiao Wu, your new gun is too short. It is much shorter than the Japs' 38-inch cap. When the time comes, you will definitely suffer a loss when you compete with the Japs on the bayonet. ah."
Kong Jie also echoed: "Xiao Wu, as the director of the arsenal, you must know the conditions of our army better than anyone else. When you get a new gun, you should make it longer. Your new gun is really a bit short. Fight. Bayonets, we’re really going to suffer.”
"Haha." Wu Ze chuckled and said nothing.
He placed the assembled rifle on the table and began loading bullets into the magazine.
This bullet is naturally an AK47 bullet made in advance according to the size.
Li Yunlong and Kong Jie originally wanted to say something, but when they saw Wu Ze keep pressing bullets into the magazine, more than a dozen rounds were pressed in one breath without any sign of stopping, their expressions finally began to change. .
Although Wu Ze's new gun is a bit short, it has a lot of bullets in the magazine.
On the battlefield, there are more bullets in the gun, which means strong and continuous firepower.
If the firepower is fierce, who would fight with the Japanese with bayonets? Their brains are flooded.
"Xiao, Xiao Wu, how come your magazine contains more bullets than the magazine of a Czech light machine gun?" Li Yunlong couldn't bear it when he saw that Wu Ze had fired more than twenty rounds of bullets and showed no sign of stopping. I started to swallow my saliva.
The Czech-style light machine gun is now one of the best-performing light machine guns on the battlefield. It has high lethality and stable ballistics, but the bullets in the magazine are a little short, only twenty rounds. (There are also magazines that hold thirty rounds, but they are rare. They are generally loaded with twenty rounds.)
Kong Jie was also shocked: "Xiao Wu, could this be your newly developed light machine gun?"
"This is not a light machine gun, this is a rifle." Xiao Wu shook his head and said, "An automatic rifle."
Rifle, automatic? ! !
When Kong Jie and Li Yunlong heard this, they were immediately stunned.
In their impression, a rifle can only hold a few rounds of bullets, but Wu Ze's new gun can hold more than twenty rounds of bullets!
Moreover, this is an automatic rifle? ?
Doesn't it mean that this new gun can shoot directly like a machine gun?
A rifle that can shoot directly, is this still a rifle?
"Xiao, Xiao, Xiao Wu, are you kidding us?" When Li Yunlong came to his senses, Wu Ze had already filled the magazine with thirty rounds of bullets!
A rifle loaded with thirty rounds, this is outrageous!
Kong Jie's eyes were as wide as copper bells: "Old, old, Old Li, pinch me, I think I may be hallucinating."
Snapped!
Li Yunlong slapped Kong Jie directly. Of course, this was not a slap in the face, but a slap on Kong Jie's shoulder.
"Ouch..." Kong Jie shouted, and immediately kicked Li Yunlong back: "You Li Yunlong, you hit me with such force!"
"You asked me to hit you." When Li Yunlong cursed, his eyes were very hot, and he did not take his eyes away from the AK47 in Wu Ze's hand.
Although Lao Li has not yet seen the power of this new gun, his intuition has already made him realize that the lethality of this thing is definitely not a joke. This is a good treasure.
"I let you pinch me, but I didn't let you hit me." Kong Jie defended, not bothering to argue with Li Yunlong. He looked at Wu Ze with hot eyes: "Xiao, Xiao, Xiao Wu, can you show me this gun?" …”
Kong Jie's words immediately made Li Yunlong furious. While Li Yunlong was trying to snatch the gun from Wu Ze's hand, he yelled: "You shameless Kong Er fool, this is my gun, you have no right to see it, get out of here!"
Wu Ze quickly dodged Li Yunlong's grab and said seriously: "Old Li, don't mess around, be careful of fire!"
As soon as Li Yunlong stopped moving, Kong Jie took the opportunity to scold: "Li Yunlong, this is a new gun developed by Xiao Wu. It has something to do with you. I want to see it. I want to see it. I want to see it too." Take it.”
After scolding, Kong Jie looked at Wu Ze with a smile on his face: "Xiao Wu, take it for me, just take it, okay?"
"You idiot Kong Er, get out of here!" Li Yunlong was furious.
This idiot Kong Er really wants to go to the house today. If he dares to steal something from me, he is going against him!
