Chapter 388 Negotiations with the Theater
Zhou Cheng, in Xiyang County’s National Salvation Army, thought it through as soon as he saw the telegram sent by the division headquarters.
The reason why the previous mistakenly believed that the secret of this incident was in the Honda United was because he had never expected that the National Salvation Army was so powerful that it could affect the frontal battlefield hundreds of kilometers away.
The division commander's explanation gave him a new understanding of the true strength of the National Salvation Army.
On the surface, the National Salvation Army could only threaten the mixed brigade stationed in Yangquan. In fact, the National Salvation Army had a far cry from the impact on the Japanese army.
There are many Japanese troops assigned to Shanxi. After the Yangquan Mixed Brigade was severely damaged, the Japanese could not only replenish new recruits from the country, but also needed to demolish the east wall and replenish the west wall and mobilize troops from other places to reinforce Yangquan, just like the Honda United transferred from the front line by Major General Honda.
After Honda United was transferred from the front line to Yangquan, the pressure on the war zone on the front line was reduced, which is what is called a single move that moves the whole body.
"Captain, the battle zone abacus is good enough. When there are benefits, I can't think of our National Salvation Army. When I encounter problems, I think of us when I want to fight." Tang Yufeng felt that he was plotted by the battle zone and was very unhappy. He directly cursed with a sarcastic expression.
"The Honda Wing is a field force, are they so easy to destroy?"
"As far as I know, on the front battlefield, we can only resist the attack of the Japanese army and the main force, and we only have the strength of the regiment. Isn't this clearly a trick on us and let us be cannon fodder?"
"We just ended the attack battle. Although we killed many Honda United players, we knew in our hearts that there were many lucky elements in this battle. If we hadn't mastered the right time and place, Honda United itself was impulsive and took the initiative without knowing us at all, we would not have won the battle at the cost of twice the price."
"Now the Japanese have become cautious. We racked our brains to think of some ways to consume them. If we want to hit Honda United as hard as last time, the possibility of success is almost zero, and the price we pay is also unbearable!"
"Captain, I think we will directly bring the results that the troops have achieved."
"The leader counted all the results of the Yangquan Independent Regiment and several surrounding Eighth Route Army attacks and occupied areas. In addition to the Japanese devils we killed ourselves, the Honda United had more than half of the casualties. In any aspect, we have completed the tasks assigned by the war zone."
"As for eliminating Honda United, it will definitely not be possible in a short period of time."
"They have realized their problems and are trying to make up for the loss and find out the gaps. In the future, it will be difficult to destroy one of their infantry squadrons."
Zhou Cheng did not answer Tang Yufeng's words? Instead, he asked an inexplicable question: "Old Tang? Since Yuan Shushan became the deputy commander of our National Salvation Army, the war zone has never given us any ammunition supplies and funds."
"Have you won several times? The war zone did not give us any substantial rewards? Every time, a commendation telegram came to fool us!"
"You can help me calculate, according to the reward standards given to us by the war zone after we won the battle? How much money and ammunition supply does the war zone owe us now,"
Tang Yufeng was puzzled when he heard this: "Captain, what are you doing? Do you still expect the war zone to reissue funds and ammunition supplies to us!"
"And this is not realistic? Even if the war zone wants to reissue it for us? The Japanese occupied area with hundreds of kilometers between them cannot be sent to you?"
Zhou Cheng insisted on his order just now: "Don't worry about what you do, hurry up and calculate the approximate data for me. Is it useful? But don't need to be too detailed!"
Tang Yufeng spent five minutes to calculate the data Zhou Cheng wanted: "Under normal circumstances? The war zone still owes us 8,500 yuan in funds."
"According to the original commendation standards, in the few victories we have won, the war zone should also reward us with at least 35,000 oceans of funds and pensions."
"There are more weapons and ammunition, and the war zone needs to supplement the equipment of one of our main groups and at least 300,000 machine gun bullets, grenades? Cannonballs..."
"So much?" Zhou Cheng himself was shocked by this data.
Tang Yufeng naturally replied: "I'm counting this as less! We don't count the ordinary anti-sweeping, just take the two battles of capturing Xiyang and raiding to pacify? The pension war zone alone will give us more than 20,000 yuan."
"Not to mention ammunition, the total ammunition consumed by our several major battles would have exceeded 300,000. If we hadn't captured a lot of seizures from Xiyang and Pacify, Cheng successfully took over the two arsenals of the Japanese? The ammunition in the National Salvation Army would have been exhausted."
Hearing this? Zhou Cheng already had a rough idea in his mind? Looking at Tang Yufeng, he said, "The war zone owes us so much money. I finally encountered a chance that they had asked us for, so I must get some back."
"We can be cannon fodder, but this cannon fodder cannot be used for nothing."
"My thought is: Since the war zone has given us an offensive order, this task must be completed. If there are no conditions, we have to create conditions ourselves. But the war zone cannot first require the horse to run without giving the horse grass, so we have to take advantage of this opportunity to speak up and ask the war zone for more compensation."
"When this matter is over, the war zone will not use our National Rescue Army. They will definitely throw our National Rescue Army away and fend for themselves like the previous few months. Therefore, we must prepare for the future and reserve more materials and funds for the arrival of this day!"
Tang Yufeng agreed with Zhou Cheng's proposal, but the problem just now seemed like a mountain stuck in front of this matter. If it was not solved, no matter how hard the team leader tried, he would eventually return in vain.
He frowned and reminded: "Captain, the question I just asked: We are too far away from the war zone, and there are still a Japanese-occupied area several hundred kilometers deep in the middle. The war zone agreed to give us weapons and ammunition, but it would not be able to transport back!"
Zhou Cheng was not worried about this question at all and answered mysteriously: "Do you still remember the secret arsenal that the spy company defended before?"
"As far as I know, there are many such secret arsenals, which were built by the Jinsui Army before the Japanese attacked Shanxi. Some arsenals stored a large amount of weapons and ammunition, while some arsenals only stored ammunition."
"We must have such an arsenal around us. If we can let the war zone go, I will be satisfied with giving us a small arsenal!"
"This matter is decided: Chief of Staff, call back the war zone immediately!"
"After entering Yangquan, the Honda United launched an attack on the defense zone of our National Rescue Army. After the bloody battles of the soldiers, nearly 500 Japanese troops were eliminated and they temporarily repelled them. However, the National Rescue Army suffered heavy casualties and consumed a large amount of ammunition. The average bullets in the army stocked in the army were less than fifty rounds, and ammunition was urgently needed to be replenished, otherwise there would be no way to take the initiative to attack the Honda United!"
"Please add 500,000 bullets to us. As long as the ammunition is in place, our National Salvation Army will do its best to attack the Honda United, severely damage them, so that they have no chance to return to the front line, and reduce the combat pressure on the front battlefield."
"After sending the telegram to the war zone, I will send another clear telegram: I will announce the results of our elimination of the Honda United's nearly 500 Japanese devils, and continue to use public opinion pressure to threaten the war zone to replenish ammunition supplies!"
The Chief of Staff was very happy after receiving the first telegram from the National Salvation Army.
Unexpectedly, the National Salvation Army and the Honda United fought so quickly, and both sides suffered casualties.
In this way, both the Honda United and the National Salvation Army will definitely want to take revenge, and the scale of the battle will become bigger and bigger. Before we know it, the Honda United was dragged in Yangquan.
After the second telegram from the National Salvation Army arrived, the Chief of Staff could no longer laugh.
You can tell at a glance that this is the National Salvation Army taking the opportunity to ask about the benefits of the National Salvation Army. If the National Salvation Army does not agree with the requirements of the National Salvation Army, they will use the excuse of insufficient ammunition and heavy casualties in the army as an excuse.
The Honda United could not stay in Yangquan forever. If the National Rescue Army deliberately avoids fighting with them, they will definitely return the battlefield to the local garrison and return to the front line.
The National Salvation Army is behind enemy lines, in addition to the Honda United, they also have to face all kinds of garrisons and puppet troops. If they don’t want to fight, there are reasons to shirk them. It will be difficult for the war zone to punish them for this matter.
At this moment, the third telegram from the National Salvation Army arrived.
It was a telegram from the National Salvation Army that fought bloody battles to eliminate nearly 500 Honda United's troops, and it was clearly sent.
The Chief of Staff could understand Zhou Cheng's little thoughts at a glance.
The Japanese devils who were born in field troops were eliminated with one regiment of troops. This battle can be called a great victory no matter where it was placed.
Zhou Cheng announced the victory with a clear telegram, not only to let everyone know the strength of the National Salvation Army, but also the purpose of blocking the rear of the war zone.
The National Salvation Army has eliminated nearly 500 elite Honda Wings, with heavy casualties and extremely short of ammunition? If the war zone continues to force the crippled National Salvation Army to fight with the Honda Wings, it will become a mistake in the war zone.
Then the National Salvation Army used various reasons as excuses to avoid war. It was difficult for them to punish the war zone that was defeated in justice.
And this matter is indeed a loss in the war zone.
If you want the horse to run and don’t give it to the horse, there is no such cheap thing in the world.
Moreover, what the war zone wants to do is to let the national rescue army be cannon fodder, and it is even more impossible to pay a little price.
With this idea, the Chief of Staff decided to instruct the commander to compromise temporarily and give some benefits to the National Salvation Army.
But weapons certainly cannot be given.
Ammunition is a disposable item, and it is gone after it is finished.
Weapons can be reused, and no one knows whose weapons to support the National Rescue Army in the war zone end up falling into.
The Xiyang County National Salvation Army Corps asked the war zone for ammunition to be supplied for more than two hours before the call back from the war zone arrived.
A secret arsenal is hidden in a mountainous area nearly 60 kilometers away from Xiyang County. The ammunition needed by the National Rescue Army is in this arsenal.
Zhou Cheng was overjoyed, but he didn't expect the result to be as he judged: the war zone directly gave the National Savior Army a secret arsenal!
Chapter completed!
