After graduating from Huangpu, he rose to prominence as a regiment leader.

Chapter 193 Target: Fengtian Arsenal! We must take it down regardless of casualties!

Fengtian!

This place is an important part of the three provinces of Guandong in the Xia Kingdom, and is also an important buffer zone for the Japanese invaders against the interior.

It has a long history and plays an important role in protecting Jilin Province.

Not only that, Fengtian also has the largest arsenal in Xia Kingdom and even in the Far East, the Fengtian Arsenal!

It was built during the old marshal's time, costing countless amounts of money and purchasing a large number of advanced production lines from international sources. After several rounds of expansion, at its peak it produced more than 6 rifles and more than 1000 light and heavy machine guns annually!

In addition to the gun factory, it also has all kinds of artillery, including mortars, mountain cannons, field guns, etc., covering a wide range of calibers, basically reaching the level of self-sufficiency!

You have to know that after the Japanese took over, there were tens of thousands of various types of equipment that had not been taken away from the arsenal, hundreds of millions of bullets, and a large number of light and heavy machine guns and artillery that were said to cover the entire square.

Tanks and unused air force fighters were also plundered by the Japanese. To a certain extent, these assets played a key role in the Kwantung Army's deep mechanization and the complete three services of navy, army and air force.

As we all know, although Japan is an industrial country, it is extremely short of resources and a large amount of resources are invested in the navy. The reason why the army was able to give birth to the behemoth Kwantung Army is that it was too cheap for the Japanese.

But the most important thing is that the Japanese have invested a lot in the Fengtian Arsenal over the years, adding many new production lines, and its scale has more than doubled compared to before!

At the same time, the weapons produced should also be more comprehensive, such as the 105mm field gun, mm caliber howitzer, Type infantry gun, etc.

After meeting the weapons needs of the Kwantung Army, the Fengtian Arsenal gradually evolved into the main source of arms for the Japanese invaders in the entire Xia country.

"Commander!"

"We have basically found out that the Fengtian devils don't have too many troops, about one division, and most of them are concentrated in Fengtian City!"

Outside Fengtian City, behind a bunker, Duan Peng quickly approached and reported in a low voice.

"Just one division?" Li Yunlong couldn't help but ask, "Captain Duan, are you sure you didn't see it wrong?"

Why is there only one division in the Fengtian area?

The Kwantung Army has 700,000 troops in the three provinces of Kanto. There is no way Fengtian would have only one division, right?

Duan Peng nodded and said, "Master Li, I am right."

"Okay! How long will it take for the main force in the rear to arrive?" Qin Feng looked at Li Yunlong and said.

In the Japs' subconscious mind, the biggest threat to them is the Bear Country in the north, and they need to be on guard against that behemoth at all times.

Although the Kwantung Army claimed that a force of 700,000 troops entered the pass, it was an exaggeration at best. If the Japanese really dared to mobilize 700,000 troops to enter the pass, their lair would be completely wiped out the next day.

To sum up, Heilongjiang Province has the largest number of troops, followed by Jilin Province, and finally Fengtian.

A division stationed in Fengtian is enough to destroy any Xia troops that dare to invade. This is the experience of the Japanese army.

In addition, the Japanese probably did not think that anyone in the interior would dare to covet the three provinces of Kanto, so the defense force of Fengtian is understandable.

This is why Qin Feng dared to take the initiative to attack. The Japanese never expected that the Xia army would dare to go north, and its combat effectiveness could crush a division that the Japanese symbolically left behind.

"Commander, it will take at least six more hours," Li Yunlong reported.

"Five hours?" Qin Feng frowned.

"No! We can't wait any longer! We must act as soon as possible!" Qin Feng said in a deep voice.

"Commander, with the limited number of troops we have, we are not going to attack Fengtian, are we?" Li Yunlong was a little stunned.

What does it mean that we must act quickly?

Their current vanguard consists of, at most, a suicide squad, a special operations team, a reconnaissance battalion, and at most a guard battalion.

All added together, it's only about the strength of a regiment. This?

"What are you thinking about? I'm referring to the Fengtian Arsenal!" Qin Feng gave him a displeased look.

Although he was confident in his troops, he was not so arrogant as to send a regiment to attack Fengtian.

"Fengtian Arsenal?" Li Yunlong was also startled. "But Commander, the Arsenal also has a regiment of troops, and it is not clear whether it is equipped with heavy firepower."

"There can't be heavy firepower!" Qin Feng said decisively.

Through the reconnaissance battalion's field of vision, he witnessed the Japanese deployment with his own eyes.

However, after seeing everyone's confusion, Qin Feng could only helplessly explain; "The Fengtian Arsenal is the core weapons production site of the Japanese. There is gunpowder everywhere, just like a time bomb. How could the Japanese deploy a large amount of heavy firepower?"

Once something happens to the arsenal, it will have a huge impact on the entire arsenal. Besides, the Japanese have already regarded the three provinces of Kanto as their own territory. Who would be so careful in their own home?

One regiment guarding here is enough to deal with small groups of Anti-Japanese Allied Forces.

"But Commander, our main force has not arrived yet. If we attack the Fengtian Arsenal, will it alert the enemy?" Kong Jie at the side couldn't help but speak up.

Like Li Yunlong, he handed over the marching arrangements to the deputy division commander and the staff department below. He and Li followed the army commander to arrive in Fengtian first.

Now the main force has not arrived yet, if the Fengtian Arsenal is attacked now, Fengtian City will definitely get the news and start mobilizing troops to prepare. Once reinforcements arrive, the consequences will be disastrous!

"It's better to alert the enemy. These devils have been at ease for too long. It's time to let them experience the intensity of the war in the Second World War!"

"As long as I can take over the Fengtian Arsenal, the Japanese won't be able to do anything to us, and the New First Army won't have to take the initiative to cause trouble for them!" Qin Feng said expressionlessly.

It is impossible for the Japs to launch a large-scale counterattack now, otherwise a fire might break out in the rear at any time.

Secondly, his goal was the Fengtian Arsenal, to officially launch the first battle out of the border, and he had to win it cleanly!

"There is one more thing, Commander. What if the Japanese send out the Army Aviation Corps?" Li Yunlong couldn't help but speak again.

The Fengtian division is indeed not to be feared, but even if the Kwantung Army does not gather all its forces, what about their air force?

"That's a good question. But having said that, the Fengtian Arsenal is important to us, but it is obviously more important to the Japanese!" Qin Feng waved his hand.

"Unless the Japanese intend to fight us to the death, they will not be willing to send the Army Aviation to bomb the arsenal."

It is true that the New First Army now has air defense weapons, but fighting against the air force has never been done by relying on air defense weapons, but by using the air force as well!

It can be said that the only shortcoming of the New First Army now is that it has no air force!

However, due to the special nature of the Fengtian Arsenal, he gambled that the Japanese would not dare to fight to the death. He invested so much effort, and the loss would be huge!

"Pass the order down, launch the attack in five minutes!"

After hesitating for a moment, Qin Feng gave the order.

The Fengtian Arsenal not only has an important strategic position, but is also the foundation of the New First Army's presence in Kanto.

No matter what the reason, any factors, even... any casualties, we must take it down!

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

"Yes!"
