Chapter 335: Thirty Thousand Prisoners(1/2)
At the same time, in Taiyuan.
The unique brigade of the Shanxi-Suizhou Army also began to evacuate.
Fang Ligong is reporting to Chu Yunfei.
"The brigade and the list of fallen soldiers has been sent to the Chief Office of the Second World War Zone and the Chairman's Office of Chongqing, including name, origin and military rank."
"Brother, thank you for your hard work."
"This is all a matter of humble duty, so why not talk about hard work."
"Oh by the way, I took the time to connect with the insider just now."
"Have you gone to connect with the inside?" Chu Yunfei said, "Do you have obtained any information?"
"It's true." Fang Ligong nodded and said, "The two regiments left in Taiyuan of the Fourth Mixed Brigade of the Puppet Army were locked in the military camp, and Zhong Yunhe was under house arrest."
"No wonder." Chu Yunfei felt a little depressed.
The Japanese devils are really cautious, and the puppet troops are guarding against them.
If it weren't for this, maybe the inner city of Taiyuan had already been taken down.
"There is another situation." Fang Ligong said again, "The Japanese army did pull back the 36th Division from the Zhongtiaoshan Front. It is said that this is following the Baijin Railway to urgently assist Taiyuan."
"Is that true?" Chu Yunfei sighed softly.
He said to himself that this is worthy of the principal.
While talking, the two of them had already come out of Gongjimen, and there was North Street outside.
North Street is an east-west main street, parallel to the north wall of Taiyuan's outer city. There are rows of shops along both sides of the street.
There are many grain stores among them.
The officers and soldiers of the Shanxi-Suizhou Army's Unique Brigade found dozens of large trucks from somewhere, and were busy moving the grain from the grain store to the truck. The grains contained rice, millet, flour, and all of them were refined grains.
Therefore, the soldiers of the Shanxi-Sui Army who transported the grain were all happy.
But the shopkeeper of the grain store looked bitter and was kneeling on the ground and begging hard.
"Old boss, okay, okay, you guys, please leave some for the little old man?"
The platoon leader of the Jinsui army led the team swung his rifle and tried to smash it, shouting, "Get out."
"Boss, aren't you Jinsui Army? The Jinsui Army should protect the people of the Three Jins." The storekeeper of the grain shop held the big spokes with both hands and refused to let go, and continued to beg, "Russia is also from Shanxi, so we can't steal from Shanxi."
"Bah!" The platoon leader of the Jinsui Army spat at the grain shop owner and cursed, "You traitor, obedient people, and have the face to say that you are from Shanxi, and you have lost all your face."
"Russia was forced to do it, so it's all about living."
The storekeeper of the grain shop continued to beg: "Leave some for me."
Chu Yunfei took out his pistol and walked forward without saying a word.
The platoon leader of the Shanxi Sui Army and more than a dozen Shanxi Sui Army soldiers quickly stood attentively and saluted.
The storekeeper of the grain shop realized that a senior official from the Shanxi Sui Army had arrived and was about to turn back for help. Chu Yunfei had already pulled the trigger of the Browning pistol, and the 9mm-caliber lead bullet instantly shot into the back of the head of the storekeeper of the grain shop, and then shot out from the door, directly blowing up his entire face, and he was so embarrassed that he died.
After shooting the storekeeper in the grain store, Chu Yunfei said to the platoon leader: "What are you talking about with these tyrant merchants and people? If you cooperate honestly, you will save your life. If you refuse to cooperate, you will be shot on the spot!"
After a pause, he ordered Sun Ming: "Transfer this order."
"Yes!" Sun Ming agreed and immediately ordered a guard to convey the order.
Soon, gunshots rang out on Beimen Street, but the begging sounds disappeared.
Then, big trucks gathered on Beimen Street, and the trucks were filled with all kinds of supplies.
These supplies mainly include grain, cloth, salt, and a small amount of sugar, oil, cigarettes, Fenjiu and soap. There are at least thousands of carts.
Because I can't find so many animals to pull the cart,
The officers and soldiers of the Jinsui Army directly captured the strong men inside and outside the city to help them.
When the sun rises, the convoy extends from Gongji Gate to the road leading to Heyuan County, and it takes several kilometers to be pulled out.
In this battle of Taiyuan, Chu Yunfei's troops and Liang Gang's troops did not get any weapons and ammunition, but the supplies they had grabbed were really a lot. Even if it was conservatively estimated that a large cart of 1,000 kilograms, the two brigades had combined to grab at least more than two million kilograms, and at least half of them were grain, that is, more than one million kilograms of grain, and more than three months of supplies.
What's more, there are cloth, salt, sugar, oil and other supplies, and even a small amount of medicine.
This is just supplies. In addition to supplies, there are also money such as gold, silver and jewelry, and lackey tickets. This is the big deal.
Therefore, although the casualties of the Shanxi Sui Army's Unique Brigade and the Central Army's Ninety-Fourth Brigade were very large, the harvest was even greater. No matter what, Taiyuan is the provincial capital of Shanxi after all.
...
Chu Yunfei and Liang Gang competed for wealth.
What Li Yunlong, Ding Wei and Kong Jie and others grabbed were weapons and ammunition.
Almost at the same time that Chu Yunfei's troops and Liang Gang's troops evacuated Taiyuan, Li Yunlong and his three regiments also embarked on the way home with their captured weapons and ammunition.
The person responsible for counting and counting was Li Xiaoxian, Chief of Staff of the New First Regiment.
Li Xiaoxian happily came to Li Yunlong and the other three, and smiled and said, "Three leaders, all the seized numbers of this battle have been counted."
Kong Jie said anxiously: "How many are seized?"
Li Xiao first took out a small notebook, then opened it with his fingers dipped in saliva, and said with a smile:
"A total of four infantry artillery pieces of 92, twelve Type 92 heavy machine guns, fifty-four Type 96 light machine guns, fifty-four grenade launchers, one thousand one hundred and nineteen type 38 rifles and horse rifles, one hundred and twenty-eight sabers, and one hundred and three intact war horses."
Li Yunlong and the other two immediately started to think about it in their hearts.
In other words, each company can be assigned four heavy machine guns, eighteen light machine guns and eighteen grenade launchers.
The only thing that made Ding Wei and Kong Jie feel unhappy was that although there was a grenade launcher, there was no grenade thrown.
At that moment, Kong Jie asked anxiously again: "Chief Staff Li, where is the ammunition? How much ammunition is seized?"
"There is not much ammunition." Li Xiaoxian's face turned down and said a little depressedly, "There are only twenty boxes of infantry shells with a caliber, that is, sixty rounds, 7.7mm-caliber Arisaka heavy machine gun bullets, that is, 30 boxes of 6.5mm-caliber Arisaka rifle bullets, 36 boxes of 66,000 rounds."
Ding Weida was disappointed: "That's the only thing?"
Kong Jie said anxiously: "Where is the 50mm caliber grenade?"
"I haven't found a box." Li Xiaoxian shook his head, "I have found a lot of empty boxes."
"Damn it." Kong Jie cursed with a dark face, "It must have been blown up by the Japanese grenade."
Ding Wei turned his gaze to Li Yunlong and asked, "Old Li, I heard that last time I went back to the ambush in Yelangyu, you got ten thousand grenades?"
"Rumor, these are all rumors."
Li Yunlong denied: "It's nothing at all."
"Old Li, you're boring, your old comrades are cheating." Ding Wei said, "You offer a price, I'll exchange the grenades for you with a gun, and exchange a 38-large cover for ten grenades. How about it?"
"No, really not." Li Yunlong still denied.
Li Yunlong is not stupid, and the situation is getting clearer and clearer now.
As time goes by, the Japanese supplies have also become tense.
This can be seen from the amount of ammunition carried by the Japanese.
At the beginning, the Japanese soldier basically had 120 rounds of bullets when they went to fight, but now it would be nice if the Japanese soldier could carry 60 rounds of bullets.
What does this mean?
This shows that the Japanese ammunition supply is becoming tight.
And the further you get, the more nervous the Japanese ammunition supply will become.
Even if the Japanese were like this, it is even more conceivable that the Eighth Route Army who lived by seizure was able to survive.
Therefore, there will be basically no shortage of weapons and equipment at the back. What is lacking is ammunition. Li Yunlong will not be so stupid as to use ammunition to change guns with Ding Wei and Kong Jie, especially if he will not use grenades to change guns.
"It's so damn." Ding Wei cursed with a dark face, "and he said that we are the rich people from Shanxi. You are the real rich people from Shanxi. Do you want to keep those ten thousand grenades and throw cubs or what if?"
"Hey, it's not that you're stingy, it's really not." Li Yunlong just refused to admit it when he was beaten to death.
Kong Jie was an honest man. Suddenly, he thought of a question and said, "By the way, Lao Li and Lao Ding, Chu Yunfei and Liang Gang failed to capture Taiyuan this time, so there would probably be no seizures, but the casualties would definitely be small. So, should we send a representative to Yunqi Town to see him and express our condolences?"
"Congratulations?" Li Yunlong said sneered, "Old Confucius, do you really think Chu Yunfei will suffer a loss?"
"What?" Kong Jie said in surprise, "From your tone, can Chu Yunfei still make a profit?"
Li Yunlong said directly to Wang Ye: "Xiao Wang, tell Captain Kong how many benefits can the two brigades of Chu Yunfei and Liang Gang get from Taiyuan?"
Wang Ye said: "Captain Kong, Taiyuan is the provincial capital of Shanxi, a gathering place for wealth and materials. Chu Yunfei and Liang Gang would just search for a little bit of it to eat and drink."
"Search?" Kong Jie said, "Isn't that rob?"
It is unimaginable for the Eighth Route Army to rob such things.
Even if the Eighth Route Army suppresses the landlords and old wealth, it still needs to follow the rules.
But the National Army obviously did not have these concerns. Just say "I am fighting on the front line, what's wrong with eating some food for you?" can extend the "hand of justice" openly.
That's why the people in Henan scolded the water, drought, locust soup.
That's why the people of Shanxi followed the Japanese to fight against the Jinsui Army.
