Chapter 694 Protect the production line!!
The southern suburbs of Wa City.
The sounds of gunfire gradually faded, and busy figures could be seen everywhere in a large factory.
"Arsenal controls..."
Wang Shan looked at the map sent by An Huliu, which detailed the distribution of the Japanese troops in the surrounding area, as well as some strongholds and bunkers.
Although the arsenal had been controlled, he knew very well that the Japanese would never give up easily, and there were even suicide squads that wanted to blow up the arsenal.
The more Wang Shan read the intelligence sent by An Hu, the more worried he became. According to An Hu's intelligence, there were two Japanese strongholds in the upper reaches of the Ayeyawady River, and there were as many as two brigades there.
To the south, in Wala City, only 20 kilometers away, there was also nearly a brigade of Japanese soldiers stationed there.
Now that the arsenal has fallen into their hands, they are probably halfway there. After all, the arsenal is like a vortex, constantly attracting the surrounding Japanese devils.
Xiao Shanzi knew very well that the battlefield had to be placed outside the arsenal.
That is to say, their troops had to fight out and rely on terrain blocking outside, rather than stationing near the arsenal.
Xiao Shanzi had been searching and thinking on the map when he suddenly heard the voice of the telegraph operator, breaking the silence.
"The commander has ordered us to defend the arsenal to the death. The First and Second Divisions have crossed Gushan and are coming at full speed."
"Okay..." Xiao Shanzi made a decision quickly. The Japanese would never let the arsenal fall into his hands easily.
"Let one regiment set up an ambush at the road junction one kilometer outside of Wacheng! This is the order from the General!"
"Also, have the Second and Third Regiments each leave a battalion at the Arsenal. The rest of the troops will form a crescent-shaped formation a hundred meters outside the Arsenal. Remember, each position must be closely spaced!"
Wang Shan's tone became extremely serious. The future hope of the Tiger Guards rested on this battle.
Just as Ouyang Wenjing said, they could die in battle at this arsenal, but they absolutely could not live and watch the arsenal being destroyed!
This is the most crucial battle for their logistics brigade. Defend the arsenal to the death!
"Yes!"
At the arsenal, some soldiers from the logistics brigade were on guard, carrying ammunition boxes and quickly moving them to the basement.
"Captain, this iron lump looks really good, and smells really good..."
Old Zhu Bai's face was covered in dirt and his hands were stained with engine oil, the smell of which made him extremely happy.
The wrinkled hands touched the machine tool and the black iron block in front of him.
Although he couldn't understand it, he had heard that these iron lumps could produce ammunition for them. Just understanding this was enough.
"Stop touching me, you Zhu Bajie, you're just taking advantage of me and giving me two taels of pork!" Wang Chong patted Lao Zhubai's forehead and said loudly.
"Hurry up and move the ammunition into the basement." Wang Chong said quickly while carrying a box of ammunition.
"Captain, I just touched it. You know I'm poor and scared. I've never seen so many bullets in my life. Look at these grenades and the smell of oil on the rifle. It's really..."
Old Zhu Bai waved the grenade hanging on his waist and the new gun he had replaced.
In the past, they had used guns and bullets more than a few times, so they were definitely not new. Now they took a new one and quickly carved a crooked red word on the gun.
"Move!" Wang Chong said with disgust, pushing Old Zhu Bai away.
"Yes." Old Zhu Bai then quickly ran to the other side of the factory with his gun.
After Lao Zhubai left, Wang Chong couldn't control his anxiety.
There were more than 20 people in the cave at that time. How could I, holding a big knife, dare to think that I would soon have my own production line, which is my lifeblood.
Only those who have come this far can understand this hard-earned feeling.
"Captain, we've discovered another warehouse and a production line for heavy machine guns, but it looks like they haven't been used for a long time."
"Okay, protect it well."
With this batch of equipment, Wang Chong felt more at ease and no longer had to tighten his belt and sigh every day.
At this time, a burst of hurried footsteps was heard and the figure of a messenger appeared.
"Captain, the Commander has ordered us to defend the Arsenal to the death! The Brigade Commander has ordered our regiment to establish a defensive position one kilometer east of Wa City."
Wang Chong's face instantly became serious, his eyes looked around, and his hands were still stained with engine oil.
He knew exactly what this order meant.
"The First and Second Divisions are on their way..." the messenger said again.
Wang Chong immediately understood the purpose, and decided to defend the arsenal and wait for support from the First and Second Divisions!
"Everyone assemble outside the factory!"
"All regiments assemble! Commander's orders delivered!"
"All regiments assembled!"
"Quick! Quick!"
Wang Chong shouted loudly in the factory and ran quickly outside. Old Zhu Bai behind him came out of the basement and kept shouting to the people around him.
Following closely behind, he raised the rifle on his shoulder and picked up a box of bullets.
Now, all these soldiers knew that the scale of the entire arsenal and the bullets, artillery shells, firearms, etc. produced were enough to feed the entire Tiger Guard Army.
It can be said that this is the lifeblood of the entire Tiger and Leopard Army.
Even if the Japs came, it wouldn't work, let alone the Japanese. This was a matter of fundamental importance to whether they could gain a foothold in the land and not have to rely on others.
