With Vice President Peng's support and Division Commander Liu and the others understanding the key points, the following work was quite simple.
It would take some time for the Japanese to arrive.
However, the heavens were not happy. The gloomy heavens had fallen snowflakes that were as white as goose feathers. Soon, it turned into a heavy snowfall.
The new regiment's base was soon covered in thick snow.
However, none of the warriors in the ambush moved.
In fact, even if they were wearing very warm winter camouflage combat uniforms, under such low temperatures, it was still a very cruel test for the soldiers.
However, with good training, every soldier who was almost covered in snow remained unmoving.
In fact, compared to last year's winter, this year's winter was not cold for the soldiers.
Winter caps covered their ears and mouths. Bam, only a pair of eyes could be seen under the helmet.
The fine velvet collar of the winter camouflage uniform could protect the entire neck. The thick velvet military boots and gloves could be said to protect every soldier from the cold.
Compared to the past winters, when it was extremely difficult for one person to even have a set of cotton clothes, this year's winter was no longer cold.
Even though the snow piled up layer by layer, none of the warriors were moved.
In the command center of the new regiment, Li Yunlong took out a Huaxia Type I semi-automatic rifle that was buried in the snow outside. He tried to pull the bolt and pull the trigger to test the gun. After confirming that there was nothing wrong with it, the last bit of worry in his heart disappeared.
" This gun is really not bad. It can be fired after soaking in muddy water for a day. It's not even afraid of the snow in the winter. If it was a Hanyang rifle, it would probably have jammed.”Li Yunlong sighed.
These words struck a chord in the hearts of all the heads of the headquarters present.
In the past two months, a quarter of the 8th Route Army had been equipped with the Huaxia Type 1 rifles. These rifles had always been well received by the grassroots commanders and soldiers.
Like all the supplies Ye Ming provided, the equipment was not only advanced in performance but also extremely reliable on the battlefield.
Everyone present was extremely grateful to Ye Ming.
It was a pity that they could only rely on Ye Ming's continued support.
Even the largest and most technologically advanced arsenal of the Eighth Route Army, Huangya Cave, could not replicate and produce this rifle.
Furthermore, the rifle parts produced by the Yellow Cliff Cave Munitions Factory could not be replaced with damaged parts due to the huge difference in accuracy.
As for the bullets, although Ye Ming provided 7.62mm steel core armor-piercing bullets, the Huaxia Type I rifle was still compatible with reloading bullets and various mainstream 7.62mm bullets.
However, to ensure the accuracy of the rifle, it was still necessary to use matching bullets to reduce the risk of the chamber exploding.
In fact, in the 8th Route Army, every unit equipped with the Huaxia Type 1 semi-automatic rifle had a lot of ammunition in reserve.
After all, every airdrop had a large amount of ammunition, so there was no shortage of bullets.
On the other hand, the steel core armor-piercing bullet was also very effective on other rifles. Its penetrating power and lethality far exceeded that of a copper bullet.
Just as Li Yunlong was thinking about how useful the Huaxia Type 1 semi-automatic rifle was, the command center's phone rang. Ye Ming picked up the phone and put it down again. He said to everyone,""The Japanese are here."
In an instant, everyone in the command center approached the hidden observation point.
Not long after, a huge group appeared at the end of Zheng Tai Road.
The Japanese were walking on both sides of the road covered in snow. In the middle of the team were pack horses.
Each pack horse carried two large boxes, and there were many carts pulled by cows and horses. The carts were also filled with large boxes.
The long line was nearly two kilometers long, but there were no trucks.
After all, the road was slippery in winter, and the speed of cows and horses was not much slower than that of trucks. Moreover, the engine of the Japanese car was not very good in winter. It was easy for the car to stall and it was difficult to start.
The 2,000-meter-long team was also very vigilant, but the new group was too well disguised. The Japanese still slowly walked into the ambush circle of the new group.
Behind a hill 15 kilometers away from the ambush circle, 12 155mm light howitzers were lined up in a row, their muzzles raised high.
The commander of the Heavy Artillery Company held the phone and quietly waited for the order.
At the same time, beside each cannon, there were eight artillery soldiers who had been waiting quietly for the order to fire.
Finally, an order to attack came from the phone. The commander put down the phone, raised the red flag in his hand, and waved it suddenly.
The cannon was already loaded. As the gunner pulled, the 155mm light howitzer let out a roar.
In the next second, the breech brake opened. The cannonball placed on the loading rack at the breech port, along with the independent firing charge, was directly stabbed into the barrel by a two-meter-long cannonball push rod.
The bolt was pulled back, and a soldier holding a shell and a soldier holding a trigger pack placed the shell and trigger pack on the firing rack.
The personnel dispersed, and the gunner pulled the fuse and opened fire again.
Under the efficient training, a 155mm light howitzer required eight people to operate. One gunner commanded, one gunner fired, one opened the breech, one pushed the shell into the barrel, two carried the shell, and two carried the firing charge. With eight people operating, they could fire six times per minute.
The shells of modern 155mm light howitzers were basically separated from the firing ammunition. After all, if it was a shell and firing ammunition, even if a soldier could move it, it would not be able to move it many times.
With such a division of labor, it was more efficient and the firing frequency was higher. The artillery would not be too tired.
This was the first time the heavy artillery company of the synthetic battalion had participated in a real battle, and it was also the prelude to this ambush.
When the artillery shells landed on the Japanese's logistics team, the terrifying explosions and shockwaves caused the entire Japanese army to fall.
The twelve balls of fire were accompanied by dust that flew high into the air, sweeping up dozens of meters into the air.
The huge shockwave from the explosion swept away all the people and equipment around the explosion.
