History’s Strongest Shopkeeper - Chapter 136
[136. Chapter 136 Equipment of the 12th Division]
“Master, I wonder what the battle plan is for tomorrow?” Chu Yunfei, Li Yunlong and other brigade-level officers stayed behind. This was to attack the county town, not the artillery tower.
Not to mention the artillery tower. They are all supported by nearby Japanese soldiers.
In such a vigorous battle in the county seat, without sufficient planning, the reinforcements pouring in from Ping’an County could easily annihilate their entire 12th Division.
“Chief of Staff, this is your business. Tell us your plan for tomorrow.” Zhou Yang turned to look at Ding Wei.
Although he also had experience in commanding tens of thousands of cavalry in the hussar battalion, he only announced the plans drawn up by Guo Jia, Xun You and others.
When Ding Wei heard this, he was stunned. I only learned about the adaptation today, and the chief of staff only took office today. Is it possible to ask me to tell you the plan?
“Master, what is the purpose of our battle this time?” Chu Yunfei frowned.
If it is a training unit, you can just find a second-rate unit in the field and run it in. The casualties will be small, and the running-in effect can be achieved.
“Ping’an County can only be considered unlucky because it happened to be surrounded by our division. What’s more, the Japanese army could not have expected that we could assemble a division of men and horses in a short period of time and launch a sudden attack. Moreover, China needs to win.” Zhou Yang He explained that defeating a Japanese regiment did not improve morale by capturing a county.
Chu Yunfei, Li Yunlong and others naturally did not speak. The entire Shanxi gathered the Jinsui Army, the Central Army, the Eighth Route Army, and others such as the Northeastern Army and the Sichuan Army. The gathered troops were hundreds of thousands of people, several times the number of the Japanese army.
However, due to inconsistent orders, they were often defeated one by one by the Japanese army. Let alone the Japanese army, let’s talk about their unified command. It is still a bit unbelievable now.
“Who will attack the county town and who will send reinforcements?” Kong Jie asked from the side.
“Each brigade will first deploy a regiment to besiege Ping’an County, and the remaining soldiers will be on standby.” Zhou Yang thought for a while and said, based on the enemy’s situation, to resist the enemy. “The chief of staff immediately led the staff to make a detailed battle plan. Tomorrow at eight o’clock Launch an attack.”
“You all go back and get familiar with your troops,” Zhou Yang said.
Fortunately for Ding Wei and Chu Yunfei, most of the troops in their two armies belonged to the factions they belonged to, and their command and mobilization were very efficient, but Li Yunlong and Kong Jie’s armies were mixed.
“Yes!”
Chu Yunfei, Li Yunlong and others went back to reorganize the troops. Although they cannot assemble the troops yet, at least the regiment to be mobilized tomorrow must be understood clearly.
In the 358th Regiment, Chu Yunfei rode straight to the headquarters of the 358th Regiment. Since he was about to attack tomorrow, he naturally chose the regiment he had led for many years.
“Senate… no, deputy division commander.” As soon as Chu Yunfei sat down on the bench, adjutant Sun Ming hurried over.
“What’s the matter?” Chu Yunfei asked.
“The division headquarters has sent the weapons to our brigade.”
“Let’s go take a look.” Chu Yunfei said expectantly.
Although Germany’s weapons cannot be said to be the most advanced in the world, they are much higher than those of the Jinsui Army.
“I met the deputy division commander and was ordered by the division commander to send the weapons of the 3rd Mechanized Infantry Brigade to the 358th Regiment, an armored battalion, an artillery regiment, two infantry regiments and 500 trucks, and asked the deputy division commander to inspect them.” A regiment belonging to the German Arms Division had become completely porters, with only their troop soldiers. Most can drive trucks.
Chu Yunfei stared blankly at the truck that seemed to have no end in sight.
Some trucks were equipped with brand-new German Mauser guns, and some had a howitzer with a diameter of about 120mm pulled behind them, and there were even larger cannons.
There are also trucks containing tanks that the Jinsui Army regards as tigers. Compared with the Japanese tanks, these tanks look much more domineering.
It was not like he had never seen the equipment of the German weapon masters back then.
However, the heavy weapons of a German weapon division are only equivalent to that of his brigade. With such intensive artillery fire, he is confident that he can fight a Japanese brigade with real swords and guns.

Fifth Rapid Reaction Brigade, 357th Regiment.
“I, Old Li, have become rich now.” Li Yunlong looked at the weapons in front of him in a state of intoxication.
All semi-automatic rifles, those artillery pieces that seemed to have a larger caliber than Japanese small steel cannons, were even issued to the platoon level, and they were simply armed from head to toe.
“Brigadier, please hurry up and check the equipment. We have to send a family off.” A battalion commander who was transporting said helplessly. You, a majestic brigade commander, actually hugged a howitzer for more than half an hour. He was closer than his wife.
“Well, the equipment is complete. You can go back.” Li Yunlong smiled broadly and looked at the items on each truck carefully before nodding.
“Zhang Dabiao, you are here. We have become real local rich people.” Li Yunlong said excitedly. This artillery and this machine gun, he, Lao Li, has never seen such powerful troops.
Zhang Dabiao also stared at the weapons on the truck with a hot face, but soon he looked a little embarrassed and said, “Brigadier Commander, the weapons are good, but I’m afraid no one will be able to use them tomorrow no matter how many weapons there are.”
“What’s wrong? Li Yunlong asked doubtfully, could it be that the 357th regiment disobeyed orders?
“You’d better see for yourself.” Zhang Dabiao said with a bitter smile.
At the temporary camp of the 357th Regiment, the leader of the 357th Regiment was getting angry, “You melon boys, it’s okay to embarrass yourself at home, now you still want to embarrass yourself across the country? Have you never eaten fat meat in your life, or something…” “…”
The company commander of a company of the Eighth Route Army on the side also looked a little ugly.
Nationally speaking, the Sichuan Army and the Eighth Route Army can be said to be the two poorest troops. They often go hungry and have a full meal. However, today they found that the food supply has changed drastically, and there are huge pots of fat meat that can be eaten.
This does not allow these soldiers, who usually can’t even smell meat, to eat it to death.
In just a short time, more than 20 soldiers were unable to move.
Li Yunlong stared blankly at the camp of the 357th Regiment. Every soldier was hunched over and his belly was bulging, but his eyes were still staring at the food on the table.
“Prince, don’t worry. My brothers are just hungry. It will definitely not affect tomorrow’s battle.” The leader of the 357th Regiment said nervously. It was not easy to get into such a sophisticated unit as the German Arms Master, and even the previous debt owed Their military pay will be provided to them all at once.
Now they are not worried about whether the soldiers in their regiment are willing to follow the 12th Division, but they are now worried about whether the 12th Division will take a fancy to them?
“The meat tastes very good. I, Li Yunlong, am not an unkind person. Eat as much as you want now. There is no problem. But for a while, I will try my best to move around a little and become familiar with my weapons. After an hour, I will start training.” Li Yunlong picked up the meat. He put a piece of fat in the basin into his mouth and said.

12th Division Headquarters.
Chen Geng sat in front of Zhou Yang, drinking a cup of tea and talking about other things, always mentioning that the three regiments of the 386th Brigade were gone.
“Don’t worry, Brigadier Chen. The 12th Division doesn’t want any of the weapons and equipment of your 386th Brigade, and I’ve also prepared a gift for you, a piece of equipment to strengthen the regiment.” Zhou Yang pointed outside.
Chen Geng quickly got up and walked outside, hesitatingly asking, “Are these all for us?”
These few people only had four to five thousand guns and a battalion of mortars.
Zhou Yang nodded. They were all light weapons. A dozen regiments had been pieced together here and there, but they still hadn’t used up all the equipment. There was still a lot left.
“I originally planned to give you another howitzer battalion and an armored battalion, but considering that your Eighth Route Army cannot afford to support them, they will be temporarily stored with me. When you can gather the people to use them, you can come here to receive them.” Zhou Yang smiled.
“And howitzer battalion? Armored battalion?” Chen Geng felt that his brain was not enough. He did it so obviously, wasn’t he afraid of being discovered?

“Taijun, there are large-scale trucks moving near Ping’an County. Those Eighth Route Army must have some conspiracy. I also saw them pulling many cannons. The caliber of the cannons is as big as the mouth of a bowl. . “In a stronghold near the Independent Regiment, a traitor was telling the Japanese captain of the stronghold the information he had learned from near the Independent Regiment with a smile on his face.
“Hahaha… Yang Jun, you told a good joke. Come and eat a piece of roast chicken and continue telling it.” The Japanese captain picked up a piece of roast chicken on the table and placed it in the hand of the traitor.
The Eighth Route Army has large-scale trucks and large-scale wheelbarrows. As for heavy artillery, are you sure their guns are enough?
Ping’an County and many nearby strongholds have received reports from local traitors. Unfortunately, no one believed them. Are there a hundred large trucks in the whole of China?
