Chapter 433 Let the brothers prepare for me in advance and launch the attack on time in 1 hour!
After receiving a call back from Zhao Gang and Lin Zhenhua, Li Yunlong immediately found Guo Wencheng and said with a smile on his face, "Guo Wencheng, after our discussion, we have decided to agree to your terms. As long as you can help us get that batch of gold, we are willing to give you 25% of the reward, which is 50% more than what you proposed. This can be used to show our sincerity."
Guo Wencheng declined with a look of surprise on his face: "Captain Li, thank you for your esteem. I will definitely not let you suffer any loss for the extra half of the gold. I control the supply channels of Chinese medicinal materials, so I can help you raise a large amount of Chinese medicinal materials in a short period of time for the production of those hot pills!"
"I don't like empty talk. What I care about is profit. Since you guys are so generous, Captain Li, I can't be stingy. After I get the gold, I will use it to buy a batch of food for you and sell it to you at the market price."
Li Yunlong did not expect that Guo Wencheng would give him another surprise. Food and medicinal materials were what the Independent Regiment urgently needed, especially Chinese medicinal materials. If they did not hurry up and find channels to purchase them, the six pill production lines would have to stop production. The Chinese medicinal materials that the Independent Regiment had previously stockpiled were almost exhausted, and only a small part of them were replenished from the 358th Regiment, which was simply unable to meet the current needs.
Especially after the Japanese used the plague to deal with the 358th Regiment and the base, the demand for medicines surged in a short period of time. In order to resist the Japanese's crazy revenge, Lin Zhenhua had been hesitant and trying to find ways to increase the production of medicines. However, due to the shortage of raw materials, it was too difficult to solve the problem.
"Guo Wencheng, as long as you can help us get food and medicinal materials, I am willing to trade with you. The price is 20% higher than the market price. I don't care how much money you make. I only care about one thing: the Chinese medicinal materials must not be adulterated. You must ensure that the transaction is carried out once every ten days. The larger the transaction volume, the better."
"It's a little too early to talk about these things now. Let's have a good discussion after we capture the enemy's material storage point and gold!"
Guo Wencheng nodded in agreement, and was arranged by Li Yunlong to get into a Rabbit armored vehicle, following the large army to march quickly towards Ningyuan Town. Ningyuan Town had been cleared out by the Japanese, and a large material storage warehouse had been built, which stored more than one million kilograms of food and two combat bases of artillery shells for an artillery battalion, which was a very large number.
Li Yunlong led seven battalions of troops and adopted a marching method of hiding during the day and moving at night. He finally arrived at the outskirts of Ningyuan Town quietly the next day without alerting any Japanese or puppet troops. In order to divert the attention of the puppet troops and the Japanese, Li Yunlong deliberately sent a small force to carry out a surprise attack to divert the attention of the Japanese. At the same time, he also sent a battalion of troops to make a surprise attack on the Japanese stronghold near Pingyuan County to cover the large force to successfully arrive in Ningyuan Town.
"Order Hao Dashan to make a bigger noise for me. We must attract the Japanese's attention and never let them discover our intentions in advance!"
"Also send an urgent telegram to the regiment headquarters, and try to gather all the transport planes to prepare to airlift the supplies we are about to seize back to the base."
Li Yunlong's urgent telegram for help was delivered to Lin Zhenhua and Zhao Gang ten minutes later. The two had been staying in the regiment headquarters for the past few days, paying close attention to the changes on the front battlefield and providing support to the best of their ability.
"College students, how many transport planes can we mobilize now?" Zhao Gang asked seriously.
After thinking about it in his mind, Lin Zhenhua replied: "Old Zhao, we have 60 light transport planes and 36 heavy transport planes, which can transport 130 tons of cargo at a time. If converted into wet wipes, that's 26 kilograms."
"According to the telegram sent by Lao Li, Ningyuan Town has stored more than one million kilograms of grain and more than 2 artillery shells. If we want to transport them back to the base, we have to make at least six round trips. It will take 3 to days to transport all these supplies back. For us, it is extremely difficult."
"We have never carried out such high-intensity transshipment before. The daily transportation volume has been controlled at around 150 tons. Now it has suddenly increased by more than two times, which will bring huge pressure to our transshipment work."
"I think we should immediately activate the emergency plan. On the one hand, we should order Lao Ding and Lao Kong to intensify the offensive against the Japanese and puppet troops. On the other hand, we should issue an alert order and mobilize five battalions of troops to carry out the transportation of materials. Only in this way can we transport hundreds of tons of materials back to the base within 2 to 3 days!"
"In addition, we also need to consider the transportation of the wounded. By transporting the wounded back via transport aircraft, they can receive timely treatment, which can effectively reduce the number of casualties in the troops."
Zhao Gang also felt the difficulty of the situation, and solemnly suggested: "It is too difficult to complete this transportation task relying solely on our current manpower. I think the strength of five battalions is still a bit insufficient. We must mobilize the strength of at least eight battalions, and we must urgently vacate the warehouse to store the materials that are about to arrive."
"In addition, we have to quickly send out fighters and bombers to help Lao Li defend Ningyuan Town. Now we have two fighter squadrons and two bomber squadrons. Our strength is incomparable to before."
After a detailed discussion, Lin Zhenhua and Zhao Gang immediately took action and mobilized the entire base to serve this transfer operation. For this reason, they had to temporarily suspend two air transport lines and fully coordinate the aircraft transfer. The two were busy until noon and completed the aircraft transfer work.
Back to eight hours ago, after Li Yunlong led a large force to Pingyuan Town, he immediately took action. He first sent out a reconnaissance company to investigate the situation of the Japanese devils, and then surrounded the three Japanese devil squadrons stationed in Pingyuan Town through a roundabout way.
In order to ensure the safety of the gold mine, the Japanese did not even use the puppet army. This gave Li Yunlong more opportunities. It only took him two hours to complete the encirclement of the three Japanese squadrons. He only needed to wait until dawn and then launch a surprise attack on the Japanese stationed in Pingyuan Town.
"Commander, all battalions have moved to their positions according to the order, and the armored battalion is also ready to attack at any time. At 7:30 in the morning, a fighter squadron taking off from the base will arrive over Pingyuan Town and provide us with aerial fire cover."
"There is a regiment of Japanese soldiers stationed in Ningyuan County, 80 miles away from Pingyuan Town. We must capture Pingyuan Town before the Japanese reinforcements arrive. Otherwise, this battle will be difficult to fight and may end up in a half-baked mess." Shen Quan sniffed and said depressedly.
Li Yunlong, on the contrary, was very open-minded. This time he was pulling a tooth out of the Japs' jaws, and the danger was indeed quite great, but as long as he acted quickly, the chances of success were very high.
"Tell the third and fourth battalions to stop the Japanese reinforcements for me. Even if they kill all two of them, they have to hold out for three days. No matter what, we have to eat the fat meat at our fingertips."
"Let the soldiers eat in advance and launch the general attack at 15:. After the general attack order is issued, all troops will immediately rush into Ningyuan Town according to the prior arrangement. Don't be stingy with the consumption of ammunition. The transport team will help us airlift a batch of ammunition. Inform the brothers to fight as much as you can. I will not control the consumption of ammunition this time as before. All I want is time. We must attack Ningyuan Town within minutes and complete the occupation of the entire Ningyuan Town within an hour."
"Sanwazi, this time your artillery battalion is free to fire at me. Take out all our heavy artillery and let me use it. Be careful when you fire, don't shoot at the ammunition depot."
"Shen Quan, your Second Armored Battalion is the main force of this assault. As soon as the battle begins, you must rush in immediately. Don't give the Japanese a chance to burn food and blow up the ammunition depot. Monk, you lead the assault battalion and follow closely behind the armored battalion. You must occupy the material warehouse as soon as possible and guard it well."
Just when Li Yunlong had completed the pre-war deployment, the three Japanese squadrons stationed in Pingyuan Town were as lazy as usual. They had been stationed in the Pingyuan Town gold mine for two full years and had not encountered a single attack during this period. On weekdays, there were sporadic petty thieves who wanted to steal the gold mine, but they could not even get through their blockade. This also made the highest commander of Pingyuan Town, Colonel Matsuda, live a life like a local emperor. He spent his weekdays in debauchery and only came out to entertain people when they came to collect gold every month.
"Colonel, this is last month's dividend, a total of eight large yellow croakers, all placed in the box. Last month's dividend was three times less than the month before last, mainly because the weather was too cold and the gold mine didn't produce much gold. When the weather turns warmer, the amount of gold mined will suddenly increase several times." Tian Dayu said humbly.
Colonel Matsuda looked at the box on the table, opened the lid, and revealed eight large yellow croakers inside. After confirming the quality of the gold, he closed the lid and said gloomily, "We can't reduce the amount of gold mining just because of the cold weather. I will find a way to use another batch of explosives to increase the amount of gold mining. Eight large yellow croakers are not worth my effort. If there is still this little next month, I will have to change people!"
"There are many people who rely on gold mines for their livelihoods. I am just a small figure among them. It doesn't matter if I take less, but if the people above me take less, I won't be able to continue in such a lucrative position, let alone protect you!"
"No matter what you do, you must increase the output of the gold mine to the level it was three months ago. Otherwise, even I can't protect you. Go back and think about it carefully!"
