At the same time, at the Eighth Route Army headquarters, the deputy commander-in-chief was checking the mortars sent by Li Yunlong.
The 100 mortars and 4,000 artillery shells had already been delivered, but the deputy commander-in-chief had only just had the time to look at them.
"Why is this mortar different from what we usually see?”
Seeing that the mortar in front of him was obviously much bigger, the deputy commander-in-chief asked in confusion.
"Boss! Look here, it's written in German. This is a genuine German mortar with a caliber of 81mm. Its power is much stronger than our 60mm mortar.”
The chief of staff pointed at the German words on the paper and introduced.
"This is a German mortar? A hundred?"
"Oh my god! This Li Yunlong is really a lucky general of our Eighth Route Army!”
Hearing this, the deputy commander-in-chief was even more surprised. He touched the mortar in front of him and couldn't put it down.
He even praised Li Yunlong for it.
"According to Li Yunlong, the power of this mortar is very exaggerated. The shrapnel can reach a terrifying killing radius of more than 50 meters.”
"Back when we bombarded the Sakata United Army, even the mountain shook with the volley.”
Seeing the deputy commander praise Li Yunlong, the commander of the 129th Division quickly interjected.
"One hundred German mortars and four thousand shells. Li Yunlong is really generous!”
"No, it's not... He was just the chief of Tianfeng Stockade. Where did he get so many mortars and cannonballs?”
"Do any of you know anything about Black Wind Mountain? Can we recruit them into our Eighth Route Army and use them?”
At the mention of Li Yunlong, the deputy commander-in-chief thought of Li Yunlong's elder brother, Ye Feng, and the idea of recruiting Ye Feng arose in his mind.
"They are not slacking off in fighting the Japanese, and they have been fighting the Japanese all this time. However, I don't know if they are willing to join our Eighth Route Army!”
Hearing this, everyone shook their heads.
"Then let's try! The 8th Route Army must put the teams that can fight the devils in an important position. As long as they have the ability, the 8th Route Army will definitely give them a chance to display their skills.”
The deputy commander decided to give it a try.
In his opinion, it would be best if he could succeed.
Moreover, even if they did not succeed, they would not suffer any losses. Why not give it a try?
"Then how are we going to distribute the mortars?”
The chief of staff asked as he looked at the mortars in front of him.
Following his words, the division commanders beside him all looked at the deputy commander-in-chief eagerly, wanting more mortars.
Indeed, the 8th Route Army was really poor. The entire 8th Route Army only had a few mortars.
Now that they saw a hundred mortars in front of them, who wouldn't be tempted?
"Each of your two divisions will have thirty mortars and 1,200 rounds of ammunition.”
"Ten mortars and four hundred rounds for the direct artillery regiment.”
"The Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei military region has 20 mortars and 800 rounds of ammunition.”
"The remaining 10 mortars and 400 shells will be distributed to the local troops to strengthen them.”
The deputy commander-in-chief was silent for a moment before he gave the distribution plan.
In fact, a hundred mortars seemed like a lot, but it was not much when it was really distributed.
Although the Eighth Route Army only had one army on the surface, it expanded very quickly.
In addition to the regular main force, each brigade also expanded its independent regiment, new regiment one, new regiment two, and other regiment-level combat units.
Now, there were more than a hundred regimental units under the Eighth Route Army.
If they were evenly distributed, each regiment wouldn't even get one cannon.
Therefore, the mortars could only be distributed to the stronger troops.
The 129th Division was given 30 mortars, which seemed to be quite a lot.
However, the 129th Division now had dozens of regiments under its jurisdiction.
After the division and brigade artillery companies were allocated, the remaining ones would only be enough to equip the main force, and they would probably only get one.
From this, it could be seen how impressive it was for Li Yunlong to have nine mortars.
No wonder Kong Jie's eyes were staring straight at Ye Feng and wanted to acknowledge Ye Feng as his big brother.
...。
Ye Feng was naturally unaware of all this.
Ye Feng was currently expanding his Tianfeng Stockade madly.
In the past few days, Ye Feng had been recruiting people crazily. Including the previous ones, he had recruited a total of ten thousand people.
Among them, 2,000 people joined the armed forces of the Tianfeng Stockade.
With the addition of these 2,000 people, the Tianfeng Stockade now had an armed force of more than 3,000 people.
After these people were trained, they would definitely become powerful and increase the strength of the Tianfeng Stockade.
Ye Feng handed over these 2,000 people, as well as the hundreds of village members from before, to the artillery battalion for training.
After a few days of training, he already had a certain level of combat ability.
Amongst them, what surprised Ye Feng the most was the sniper team led by Shun Liu.
Shun Liu was indeed good at choosing and disciplining people.
After his training, the current members of the sniper team had all improved their marksmanship very quickly.
Ye Feng had just tested it out. Even if it was a moving target, he could still hit it from 400 meters away.
Although his spear technique wasn't as terrifying as Shunliu's, it was already very good compared to ordinary people.
Ye Feng was prepared to bring them to a real battle today, and at the same time, help Shunliu take revenge and complete his previous mission.
The reward for the previous mission was not bad. Ye Feng had been coveting it for a few days…
It's a new day. Everyone, give me some free flowers and comments!
