Eighteenth Army Headquarters
"Although Yoshio Shinozuka's army is approaching with great force, our army has great geographical advantage due to the mountains, and the Japanese's mechanized troops cannot deploy. Our army mainly focuses on guerrilla warfare..."
The deputy commander-in-chief summoned a group of staff and was studying the enemy's strategy in detail.
Although the Chief of General Staff went to see Wu Ze, the Deputy Commander-in-Chief could not remain idle.
Such an important talent as Xiao Wu will definitely be sent to the rear in the future.
Although, he can also help with planning in the rear area.
But here in the World War II zone, there are always emergencies that cannot allow Xiao Wu to plan in time.
To strike iron, you still need to be tough.
The deputy commander-in-chief has been fighting for a lifetime. Although Yoshio Shinozuka is coming this time, the deputy commander-in-chief is not afraid. Not only is he not ready to run away like the Jinsui Army, but he actively faces it.
"Deputy Commander-in-Chief, the Chief of General Staff is back." Someone came over to remind the Deputy Commander-in-Chief.
The deputy commander-in-chief met the chief of general staff. Seeing his cheerful expression, he knew that the chief of general staff would definitely gain a lot from going to Wu Ze.
Therefore, the deputy commander temporarily stopped the military meeting and followed the chief of general staff to a separate room to talk.
"What's up, Lao Zuo? Tell me what Xiao Wu thinks." The deputy commander asked impatiently.
Although his guerrilla warfare could fend off the enemy, dealing with the Japanese army required a lot of time and materials.
Especially materials. If a large-scale raid is to be carried out smoothly, a lot of material support is needed.
"Lao Peng, I didn't expect it. We couldn't even imagine that we could kill you and me." The chief of general staff looked extremely excited. "I didn't expect that Xiao Wu was actually a firearms inventor."
"Firearms inventor?" When the deputy commander heard this, he was confused for a moment.
Don't you, Zuo, not understand what I mean? I'm asking you how Xiao Wu defends himself against the enemy. You said he is a firearms inventor?
Can the firearms inventor be related to the enemy in front of him?
The Chief of General Staff opened the box, revealing an AK47 prototype gun. The Chief of General Staff solemnly introduced: "This is a new rifle developed by Xiao Wu..."
The deputy commander-in-chief interrupted the chief of general staff: "Lao Zuo, isn't the most important thing now not to defend the enemy? You..."
"Yoshio Shinozuka hasn't come here yet, and you don't need more than ten minutes." The chief of general staff interrupted the deputy commander-in-chief, "Besides, Xiao Wu has already given me a solution. It's all going well." Now, we can take care of Yoshio Shinozuka’s army, what’s the rush?”
"What, Xiao Wu has already given you a solution?" Upon hearing this, the deputy commander hurriedly urged: "Tell me quickly, tell me quickly."
Although the deputy commander was a little curious about this new gun, he was more concerned about Wu Ze's strategy to defend against the enemy.
If everything goes well, Yoshio Shinozuka's army can be dealt with, which is crucial.
Facing the army of Yoshio Shinozuka, the deputy commander-in-chief wanted to defend the enemy, while Xiao Wu wanted to deal with it.
What does tidy up mean? It means elimination. The two meanings are different.
"Okay, let me tell you first." The chief of general staff told the deputy commander in detail, including asking the deputy commander to read the information about static electricity written by Wu Ze.
The information in the information is very detailed. After reading it, the deputy commander sighed excitedly: "I feel the meaning of this sentence more and more now, that is, knowledge changes destiny!"
Using static electricity, you can destroy the enemy's ammunition supply without anyone noticing.
Although Shinozuka Yoshio's army is fierce, the supply of ammunition is insufficient. The troops' ammunition is gone. No matter how many people there are, it is meaningless.
"As for whether static electricity can detonate ammunition or munitions, I still need to do some experiments based on this information." The chief of general staff added, "After all, if we want people from the military command to cooperate and help, they also have to see if the experiments work. "
"This is natural, this is natural." The deputy commander nodded, but still sighed: "I really didn't expect that Xiao Wu actually understands physics and static electricity. We have never even heard of it. Xiao Wu It can be used to kill enemies.”
"No, if the ammunition and arms of Shinozuka Yoshio's army are cut off, I dare say that Shinozuka Yoshio will be dumbfounded and will not understand how the ammunition and arms were destroyed." The chief of general staff agreed, "Little Wu's military strategy is the same as that of Cao Cao in the Three Kingdoms. He likes to cut off people's food routes and logistics. But even if Shinozuka Yoshio defended against Xiao Wu's move, Shinozuka Yoshio couldn't guard against it at all."
"There is no way. The difference in strength between our army and the Japanese is too great. Even our direct descendants cannot fight head-on. We can only avoid their edge and find solutions from other aspects. Xiao Wu is nothing short of a top master in this field. "The deputy commander-in-chief praised.
"Lao Peng, let's not talk about Xiao Wu's killing of the enemy for now. Let's talk about the new gun..." The chief of general staff immediately wanted to bring the topic to the new gun.
The deputy commander interrupted the chief of general staff: "Xiao Wu used static electricity to cut off the ammunition supply to Shinozuka Yoshio's army, but Shinozuka Yoshio still has planes and mechanized troops."
"Xiao Wu said that he is already preparing. When the time comes, he will destroy Yoshio Shinozuka's aircraft and mechanized troops." The Chief of General Staff replied, "He needs the New 1st Brigade and the Independent Brigade to cooperate with his actions. I The power has been delegated to him. Lao Peng, do you still question Xiao Wu's ability?"
"Haha." The deputy commander chuckled, "Of course I won't question it. From now on, I won't even ask."
"At this time, we can always talk about the new guns." said the Chief of General Staff.
"What are the characteristics of this new gun?" The deputy commander focused his attention on the new gun.
"The structure is simple and there are few parts." The chief of general staff said as he witnessed Wu Ze's disassembly and assembly process.
"How simple is it?" the deputy commander asked.
"Look, I'll take it apart for you." Although the Chief of General Staff only watched Wu Ze disassemble and assemble it once, he was already good at it.
Well, it can’t be said that the Chief of General Staff has already met.
But this new gun really doesn’t have many parts and links, so it’s easy to memorize.
Soon, the chief of general staff disassembled the new gun. The deputy commander stared at the few parts on the table in amazement, and was surprised: "Am I right? That's all the parts?"
The deputy commander-in-chief understands what the number of gun parts means.
Objectively speaking, the fewer parts a gun has, the less likely it is to malfunction on the battlefield.
The failure rate is low, so it is not easy to make mistakes during combat.
The new gun in front of me has surprisingly few parts.
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, the deputy commander would have doubted whether these parts could be assembled into a complete gun.
"Lao Peng, of course you read that right." The chief of general staff said while reassembling the parts: "You don't even know how fierce the firepower of this rifle is?"
"How powerful it is, can it be compared with a machine gun?" said the deputy commander.
"This is the magazine." The chief of general staff took out the magazine and pulled out the bullets one by one.
At the beginning, the deputy commander was very calm.
But seeing more and more bullets being taken out of the magazine and the chief of general staff showing no signs of stopping, the deputy commander became uneasy.
More bullets in the magazine means constant firepower.
The magazine in front of me has taken out more than twenty bullets, and the chief of general staff is still taking it out and hasn't stopped yet. This is outrageous.
Finally, the chief of general staff took out thirty rounds of bullets from the magazine and placed it in front of the deputy commander: "Lao Peng, you see, the magazine of this new gun can hold thirty rounds of bullets, a full thirty rounds." ah."
"Incredible, simply incredible." The deputy commander was shocked, "This is an epoch-making new weapon."
"More importantly, this is an automatic rifle." the chief of general staff added.
"What, an automatic rifle?" The deputy commander was shocked again.
"I have personally tried it. It is indeed an automatic weapon with fierce firepower and stable ballistics." The chief of general staff added again, "If everyone in our army can be equipped with such a weapon, then the individual firepower of our army will be crushed." It’s a pity that the Japanese army has limited military industry conditions and cannot mass-produce them.”
"Find a place and let me try out the new gun. I want to see its firepower." The deputy commander was eager to try.
The two quickly found a place. After clearing the area, the deputy commander directly took the gun and tried it.
Bang bang bang...
A shuttle of bullets swept out suddenly, this feeling is so good.
If every soldier below had such a weapon, the Chief of General Staff was right, it would be a nightmare for the Japanese.
"What a good gun." The deputy commander gave him high praise, but also expressed some regrets: "It seems to have been born at the wrong time. Our military's current military industry capabilities are too weak to produce in large quantities. Old Chiang Kai-shek Bian is capable, but there is no way we can take advantage of him, Old Chiang, in such a stupid thing!"
"When Xiao Wu takes back the Taiyuan Arsenal later, we can at least produce tens of thousands of them." said the Chief of General Staff.
"That's true, that's true." The deputy commander nodded. If the Taiyuan Arsenal can be taken down, the machines and machine tools there will be enough, and the rest will be a matter of raw materials. Gu Chang
Raw materials are much less difficult to solve than corresponding machine tools.
"Lao Peng, you have now seen the value of this new weapon. We should send him to the rear immediately." said the Chief of General Staff.
"How many new weapons like this have Xiao Wu produced?" the deputy commander asked solemnly.
Such epoch-making weapons must definitely be sent to the rear.
Even if it is production, it should be done in the rear area, not here.
Before our eyes, the Japanese's revenge actions became more and more fierce each time.
The deputy commander could not wait to feel the necessity of large-scale raids. He must break the Japanese blockade as soon as possible, otherwise he would be trapped all the time, which was not an option.
Under such circumstances, no one can guarantee when the Japanese will get their hands on the border arsenal.
Once such weapons fall into the hands of the Japanese, their military strength will quickly imitate them, which will make the war even worse!
"Xiao Wu has only built this one for the time being. I went over today and happened to see him successfully test the gun." The chief of general staff replied, "I have already told Xiao Wu not to let him continue to build it, and to seal all the data. Get up, there are related machine tools, and be ready to be transported to the rear at any time."
"Well, you did the right thing." The deputy commander nodded, "After we have dealt with Yoshio Shinozuka's army, we will seize the time to attack the Shota Line and the blockade will be broken. Only then will we have the opportunity to transport things to The rear."
"Then let's deal with Yoshio Shinozuka's army first," said the chief of general staff. "I will conduct an electrostatic test immediately, and then contact the Jinsui Army and the military commander."
"Well, hurry up." The deputy commander nodded, "I'll have someone send the prototype gun to the rear through secret channels."
…
World War II District Governor's Department
"Sir Yan, these are the specific numbers of enemy troops that have just been calculated." A staff officer handed Lao Yan the newly arrived intelligence document.
Lao Yan took it and looked at the numbers inside. Although he had expected it, he still couldn't help but tremble: "Yoshio Shinozuka is crazy. He is a lunatic. When he was encircling and suppressing the 18th Group Army, he actually To mobilize such a huge force, everyone knows that the 18th Army now only has three divisions, and they only have three divisions."
"Sir Yan, although the 18th Group Army only has three divisions on the surface, they are secretly expanding their troops," the staff officer said.
"Do you think it is so easy to expand the army?" Lao Yan said, "Expanding the army requires two conditions, one of which is indispensable. One is food and the other is weapons. Neither of these two conditions is met by the Eighteenth Group Army. How can he expand it? . Even if they solved this problem last year, how many troops could they expand in just a few months? I'm afraid they are all a ragtag group of people and have no power to fight. "
"That's true, that's true." The staff officer nodded.
If you want to expand the army, you can't just rely on a word. You need food, guns and ammunition.
The number of troops sent by Yoshio Shinozuka exceeded the total number of Jinsui Army. Such a huge force to encircle and suppress the 18th Army was really killing a chicken with a sledgehammer.
Even if the Eighteenth Group Army occupied the mountains, there would be no need to mobilize troops like this. After all, the First Army had hundreds of aircraft for reinforcements.
"What's going on over there with the Seventh Army?" Lao Yan asked.
Yoshio Shinozuka wanted to start a big war, and Lao Yan wanted to retreat and let the Jinsui Army prepare for the transfer in advance.
Commander Yang's Sixth Army has quickly made corresponding preparations, but the arrogant Seventh Army has been slow to produce results.
Lao Yan knew that Bo Zuoyi didn't want to move, he wanted to fight.
Hiroshi's idea is also very simple, that is, once the 18th Army is wiped out by Shinozuka Yoshio, the Jinsui Army will also be dead.
Why doesn't Lao Yan know this truth? The problem is, if there is even the slightest chance, Lao Yan is not willing to move out of Jin Province to become a bereaved dog and a rootless duckweed!
But the number of Shinozuka Yoshio's army in front of him has exceeded the total number of Jinsui Army, and the number of Japanese soldiers inside is the total of last year's First Army.
It is really not possible for the Jinsui Army to defeat so many Japanese soldiers.
"Commander Bo hasn't..." The staff officer didn't finish his words.
boom!
Lao Yan slapped his hand on the table and said angrily: "Let Bo Zuoyi come to see me immediately!"
As soon as Lao Yan finished speaking, he saw Bo Zuoyi coming over: "Sir Yan."
"Bo Zuoyi, are your troops ready?" Lao Yan asked immediately.
"Report to Commander Yan that my troops are ready to attack." Bo Zuoyi's words were sonorous.
boom!
Lao Yan slapped the table again: "It's ridiculous. With a person like you, why do you still want to go head-to-head with the Japanese? I think you are tired of living!"
"Sir Yan, this is the plan of the strategic masters of the 18th Group Army. Take a look at it." Bo Zuoyi handed over a document.
The Eighteenth Group Army took the initiative to send people over. The reason why Bo Zuoyi was unwilling to move was because he was waiting.
He believed that the strategic master of the 18th Group Army would not sit idly by and do nothing. He would definitely have a way to turn things around.
Inside the document is a shocking plan.
Bo Zuoyi has personally tested the electrostatic test, and he succeeded. It is feasible.
Therefore, he immediately came over to meet Lao Yan.
"What? Could it be that he is the strategic master of the 18th Group Army? Can he turn things around again?" Seeing Bo Zuoyi's firm expression, Lao Yan couldn't help but ask.
This time, there are nearly 200,000 Japanese traitors. Can the masters of the 18th Group Army rescue them again?
"Sir Yan, you will know when you see it." Bo Zuoyi said.
"Okay, let me take a look." With suspicion, Lao Yan took it and opened it.
"Can this static electricity detonate munitions?" Lao Yan looked at Bo Zuoyi with a shocked expression.
I have never heard of static electricity.
"Sir Yan, I have personally tested it and it is feasible." Bo Zuoyi nodded.
"I don't believe it. I want to test it again myself." Old Yan Sumu.
"No problem, please come with me, Chief Yan." Bo Zuoyi knew that Lao Yan would not believe it easily, so he had people prepare the test site.
Lao Yan followed Bo Zuoyi to the testing site, and Bo Zuoyi asked people to start.
The testers followed the steps and finally successfully detonated the ammunition.
"It's incredible." Lao Yan was amazed.
"Sir Yan, this requires cooperation from the military command," Bo Zuoyi said.
"I'll tell the military commander in person, anyway..." Lao Yan answered directly, but before he finished what he said, it was the military commander who died anyway, not our Jinsui Army!
"Sir Yan, what do you mean, let's prepare for war and cooperate with the 18th Group Army to try it, right?" Bo Zuoyi said.
"If you have the opportunity to kill Shinozuka Yoshio's army, why not give it a try!" Lao Yan said decisively, "It is not easy to kill a dog who has lost his family. It will not be easy for Shinozuka Yoshio to drive our Jinsui Army out of Jin Province. "
"Sir Yan is wise!" Bo Zuoyi said quickly.
"But..." Lao Yan still added: "However, the risk of this matter is not small, so we should be more cautious. Your Seventh Army should be prepared to move for me."
"Yes, Sir Yan." Bo Zuoyi responded. As long as the military commander is willing to take over the job, this battle is basically settled.
"Bo Zuoyi." Lao Yan looked at Bo Zuoyi with a glint in his eyes: "Do you have any idea about the strategic master of the 18th Group Army?"
Although the battle in front of him has not yet begun, Lao Yan seems to have already seen the result.
For the strategic master of the 18th Group Army, Lao Yan wanted to get him more and more!
Bo Zuoyi has closer contacts with the Eighteenth Group Army. Lao Yan hopes that Bo Zuoyi can...
"Sorry, Commander Yan." Bo Zuoyi shook his head, "Up to now, I haven't had any clue. The 18th Army has hidden their talents too deep."
"Alas." Lao Yan sighed and waved his hands: "That's all, that's all, I didn't have much hope at first. You go ahead and prepare."
"Yes." Bo Zuoyi resigned.
