Lei Suisheng sat down and rolled a cigarette.
He has been waiting for this day for a long time. Since the day Xiaoleizi died, he has always kept it in his heart and wanted to find an opportunity to thank Ye Anran.
Before the meeting, Ma Jinshan issued an order to the Artillery Brigade and the 3rd Regiment of the 2nd Independent Brigade, asking them to cooperate with Ye Anran's actions.
The two men have been waiting all day.
Several groups of scouts were sent out in the morning. I heard that both the arsenal and the Japanese 15th Regiment were dead, but there was no fighting.
Now, finally there is a chance.
"Vice Chairman Ye, the order we received is to obey your command. Tell us what you want us to do!"
Lei Suisheng said very cheerfully.
Liu Hongzhi, leader of the 3rd Regiment of the 2nd Independent Brigade, smiled slightly and said, "Me too!"
With the strong support of the two front-line commanders, Ye Anran felt confident.
"Then I won't be polite."
Ye Anran directly assigned the task.
"The artillery brigade dispatched an engineering regiment to cut off all power lines and communication lines in Hecheng before dark."
"Send another infantry regiment. Starting at six o'clock in the afternoon, all routes out of Hecheng will be blocked. Only entry is allowed, no exit is allowed."
"Captain Liu, after dark, you set up defense points at the intersections near the Heilongjiang Industrial School and the Provincial Middle School, and place machine gunners at high altitudes to prevent the Japanese Second Battalion and Seventh Squadron from reinforcing the arsenal."
"yes!"
"Brigadier Lei, the rest of the artillery brigade established an artillery position near the 15th Regiment and the arsenal. Guns were fired and the bombardment of the Japanese barracks began!"
"yes!"
"Go get ready."
After assigning tasks, Lei Suisheng and Liu Hongzhi hurriedly left the regiment headquarters.
Ye Anran didn't stay at the regiment headquarters for long. He went directly to the provincial capital building.
The asset restructuring meeting was over and everyone had left.
He and Ma Jinhai knocked on the door of Ma Jinshan's office.
As soon as he entered the door, he heard Ma Jinshan ask Ma Jinhai, "Boy, have you seen my tea jar?"
"without……"
Ma Jinhai was stunned for a moment. Brother Ye was not joking just now! I really stole my eldest brother’s tea and wine!
Ye Anran scratched the back of his head and said awkwardly: "Brother, I took the tea to give away."
Ma Jinshan was happy.
"Haha, since it is my brother Ye who is giving it away, then I will give it away."
"But who did you give it to? That was Principal Jiang of Jinling. I didn't even drink the tea that someone sent me."
Ye Anran quickly changed the subject, "Brother, I have something to ask you."
"Look, you're being polite again, aren't you?!"
Ma Jinshan was in a particularly good mood.
The proposal Ye Anran gave him successfully aroused the determination of the merchants in the city to take the lead in the war, and he also gained three million yuan.
The Japanese will soon attack Hecheng.
Every piece of ocean is very precious, which is related to the supply of military rations, battlefield medical care, and weapons and ammunition for soldiers!
"Tell me what you want."
"The MP18 submachine guns of the entire security regiment, and all the bullets!"
Ye Anran wants to lead the shadow group to break into the 15th Regiment from the main entrance, and the seven-nine guns that are fired and fired can also be used.
But after the Japanese react, they will pose a great threat to the soldiers of the Shadow Regiment.
The Japanese's Type 38 rifle has strong penetrating power and accurate range.
Ye Anran didn't want to trade the lives of his brothers for the lives of the Japanese!
But there will be sacrifices in fighting. As a commander, he can only try to avoid casualties in the troops.
Xie Ke walked up to the side and said, "Captain Ye, are you taking any action?"
"Hit the arsenal."
Ye Anran did not hide anything from Xie Ke and Ma Jinshan.
He had not had the idea of building an arsenal for a day or two. He had had this idea since he entered the city.
Ma Jinshan: "Fan Xiaohu!"
"arrive!"
Fan Xiaohu entered the room, saluted Ma Jinshan, and then saluted everyone.
"Send all the submachine guns and bullets from the guard regiment to the shadow regiment!"
"yes!"
Fan Xiaohu turned around and ran out without any unnecessary nonsense.
The number of MP18 submachine guns is limited, and it is only equipped with Ma Jinshan's guard troops.
Ye Anran has seen those guns, which have low recoil and are easy for soldiers to use.
None of them are made in China, they are all imported from Germany.
This is good, as it greatly reduces the failure rate of submachine guns.
"Brother Ye, what else do you need?"
Ye Anran shook his head, he was ready for everything.
He raised his head and looked at Ma Jinshan, "Commander, once the war breaks out, paper will definitely not be able to cover the fire. We must be prepared for a full-scale war with the Japanese."
"Sooner or later we will break up with the Japanese. We have already been prepared."
Ye Anran saluted Ma Jinshan and Xie Ke.
Then he turned around and left the provincial capital.
At six o'clock in the evening, the Shadow Group's searchlight suddenly went out.
Then the phone went silent, and the Artillery Brigade Engineer Corps, following Ye Anran's order, cut off all power and communications in Hecheng.
At the same time, the 3rd Regiment of the 2nd Independent Brigade urgently built an arc-shaped machine gun position at the intersection of the Provincial Middle School.
Liu Hongzhi followed Ye Anran's order and requisitioned the small building near the Japanese Second Battalion and Seventh Squadron.
Engineers placed sacks filled with sand and gravel on the roof as machine gun shelters.
Before dark, Lei Suisheng led the artillery regiment of the artillery brigade to establish mortar and Type 92 infantry artillery positions on rooftops, hillsides, and woodlands near the 15th Regiment.
Lei Suisheng set up a Type 92 machine gun position near the chimney on the roof. Relying on the favorable terrain, he could overshoot the Japanese barracks and provide fire support for Ye Anran.
Nine p.m.
The entire Shadow Regiment was equipped with MP18 submachine guns. They spent 4 hours familiarizing themselves with the principles and structure of submachine guns.
At the same time, the content of this mission was also learned.
Late at night, Zhang Erpao's artillery battalion appeared near the provincial middle school.
With the help of the 2nd Independent Brigade and 3rd Regiment, artillery defensive positions were built.
The Second Company of the Artillery Battalion built an artillery position near the Provincial Normal School to provide artillery support for the 3rd Regiment.
zero point.
Ye Anran led the infantry battalion and cavalry battalion out of the military camp and headed towards the 15th Dongcheng Japanese Regiment.
The entire Crane City was completely silent.
The soldiers of the cavalry battalion put cotton cloth on the feet of the war horses so that the horses would not make any noise when walking.
When we arrived in Dongcheng, it was 0:30.
The cavalry battalion waited at the corner of the road for orders.
Ye Anran led the infantry battalion and quietly arrived at the door of the arsenal and the 15th Regiment.
At this time in the evening, all the machine gun positions in front of the Japanese gate were withdrawn to the military camp.
The door is closed.
Sun Maotian's first company stood along the wall of the arsenal, while the second company stood along the wall of the 15th Regiment.
Ye Anran, Ma Jinhai, and Sun Maotian stood at the door.
Sun Maotian went up and knocked on the big iron door. He kept knocking for two minutes before he heard the response from inside.
"idiot!"
"Who?"
Then I heard the footsteps of the Japanese walking towards the door.
"I!"
"Who are you?"
Listening to Ye Anran's fluent Japanese, the Japanese opened the big iron door.
He saw Ye Anran at first sight and quickly raised his gun!
When he raised his gun, Sun Maotian and Ma Jinhai also raised their guns and pointed them at his head.
Ye Anran: "I have no ill intentions. Please ask your deputy captain Yamazaki Takuno to come down and see me."
"Tell him that I have something important to come to him for, it's just the three of us!"
Afraid that Yamazaki Takuno would be a coward, Ye Anran specifically clicked on the Japanese soldier.
