Chapter 314 of the text volume is going to hit Taiyuan!

Next chapter

Fierce fighting until early in the morning.

The independent brigade annihilated the entire brigade of the Japanese army with absolute superiority.

It is said that it is an entire brigade, but in fact it is only half of the brigade. Of course, the formation of the other half of the brigade was also defeated by the independent brigade in the fierce fighting seven days ago.

The war was fought here and ended with a total victory for the Independent Brigade.

As far as the independent brigade is concerned, the plan for actual combat training is perfect, and the whole brigade has been "fought" from one new regiment after another to the main force. Most of the recruits were promoted to veterans, and the regimental officers of the independent brigade were also trained.

You must know that they were originally battalion commanders or even company commanders, and if they are suddenly promoted to regimental commanders, they may not be able to command regiment-level units in combat. Nowadays, they have also adapted to the position of regiment commander, and they are also handy in commanding regiment-level units to fight.

The entire Independent Brigade has taken on a new look and has become a strong force! And it has also achieved great results and trophies!

The equipment of a brigade of the Japanese army!

With this batch of equipment, the equipment of the entire independent brigade has been replenished again, and compared with the Central Army and the Japanese army, it is not worse at all, and even surpasses it.

The battle report of the annihilation of the Japanese brigade came out, which shook the entire northwest of Shanxi Province, and even the entire battlefield in North China!

Yan Xishan, commander of the Second Theater of Operations, sent a telegram of commendation, naming and congratulating Li Yunlong's division of the Eighth Route Army on its great achievements.

Chairman Chiang of Chongqing also sent a telegram of commendation.

It's a pity that these two commanders only sent a commendation telegram, and they didn't reward military salaries and equipment, which made Lao Li scold a lot.

The headquarters of the Eighth Route Army naturally sent a telegram of commendation, but it also did not reward military salaries and equipment, and even hinted to Lao Li that he should hand over some of the Japanese equipment captured this time?

Lao Li had already distributed the equipment to the soldiers of all regiments of the brigade, so how could he spit it out again? Instead, he handed over some captured Type 92 infantry guns and mortars to the General Headquarters.

An artillery regiment of the separate brigade, in terms of artillery fire, is enough.

No matter how many cannons there are, it is useless without shells.

Lao Li left the shells and handed over the redundant Type 92 infantry guns, mortars, etc., which made the boss of the Eighth Route Army headquarters very happy. With these Type 92 infantry guns, mortars, and field artillery, the Eighth Route Army can form a few more artillery battalions!

Although Lao Li won the battle and made great contributions, he was still a brigade commander, and the Eighth Route Army was too small to be promoted to a division commander as a "great hero".

If this is such a rich result in the national army, let alone a division commander, it is possible to give Lao Li a military commander! Of course, 80 percent is a false title.

Today's Lao Li, sitting in the headquarters of Ping'an County in high spirits, drinking a little wine, heard Lin Yi's mention yì, and almost squirted out a mouthful of Fen wine.

"What, attack Taiyuan?" Lao Li exclaimed, looking at Lin Yi with incredulity.

Isn't that too bold to attack Taiyuan?

Lin Yi smiled and said, "Yes, since the two wars before and after Ping'an County, the military strength of the Japanese army stationed in Shanxi has dropped significantly. Moreover, now the entire battlefield in North China is full of fierce battles, and the Japanese troops stationed in North China have almost been exhausted. ”

After a pause, he added: "Right now, it is a good time to attack Taiyuan! Moreover, it is a good opportunity to recover the mountains and the west!"

"Guangfu Mountain-West?" Li Yunlong was dumbfounded, as a former regimental commander of the Eighth Route Army and a brigade commander who had only recently been promoted, his horizons had not yet broadened to this extent.

Unexpectedly, you want to recover the mountain-west!?

Crazy, right?

As Lin Yi said, the strength of the Japanese army in the mountains and west has declined sharply, and the Japanese troops in the entire North China have also been exhausted.

In the Shanxi-west territory, the Eighth Route Army and the Jinsui Army also had hundreds of thousands of troops combined.

Although the Eighth Route Army has expanded from three main divisions to 200,000 troops on a large scale, its equipment has become worse and its combat effectiveness has also declined greatly, but there are many people!

Due to the practice of deducting military salaries and eating empty salaries, the morale and combat effectiveness of the Jin Sui Army have also dropped greatly, but it is still the same sentence, and there are many people!

Hundreds of thousands of troops, in the face of the Japanese army, which now has less than 100,000 troops in the entire mountain-west region, is not an empty word, and it is very possible!

It's just that Lao Li hadn't thought about this problem before, his horizons were not so broad, and when Lin Yi mentioned it, he felt that there was a drama.

Lin Yi smiled lightly: "The recovery of Shanxi is a great encouragement to the soldiers and civilians of the Anti-Japanese War across the country, and it will also be a heavy blow to the Japanese army." ”

After a pause, he said: "And it can cut off the Japanese army's coal, iron ore and other resources in the west of the mountain, and there is even an arsenal in Taiyuan, waiting for our independent brigade to get it!"

Li Yunlong was dumbfounded when he heard it, in terms of vision, he was definitely not as good as Lin Yi. To put it bluntly, he is now just a small person who has just been promoted to the brigade commander of the Eighth Route Army, and at best he is leading a main force.

How can we stand at the height of the overall situation of China and Japan?

But when he heard the arsenal in Taiyuan, Lao Li's eyes couldn't help but glow, and he said a few "good" words in a row!

It's almost out!

Lin Yi said with a smile: "Our independent brigade will attack Taiyuan, and when the time comes, armed forces from all over the country will block the reinforcements of the little devils, attack the strongholds of the little devils, and it will not be a problem to recover the mountains and the west." ”

"Okay!" Li Yunlong was originally a belligerent master, nodded excitedly, and said excitedly: "I'll go to the headquarters now!"

……

Headquarters of the Eighth Route Army.

"What are you talking about? Li Yunlong wants to fight Taiyuan?" The boss stared at Liu Bocheng, the commander of the 129th Division, with a look of disbelief.

Division Commander Liu took the telegram he had just gotten, "Li Yunlong really wants to fight Taiyuan!" After a pause, he said: "And this kid wants our Eighth Route Army to cooperate with the Jin Sui Army to fight and recover the mountain-west ......."

When the boss heard this, the hand that had just picked up the teacup shook, and he almost spilled it, and exclaimed: "Guangfu Mountain-West! What is this kid Li Yunlong going to do?"

"I'm afraid I'll have to ask him personally. Division Commander Liu was also a little crying and laughing at the "boldness" of his subordinate Li Yunlong.

Li Yunlong is well-known for his ability to fight, but he is also famous for being able to cause trouble!

Master Liu asked again: "Boss, is this kid Li Yunlong still waiting for your reply?"

The boss pondered for a moment and said: "It's a matter of importance, let's ask Yan An for instructions, and then negotiate with Yan Laoxi of the Jin Sui Army, Yan Laoxi is easy to say, he is afraid that he can't wait to recover the mountain-west......

The chief of staff said with a smile on the side: "But Lao Jiang is only afraid that he will be angry! If our Eighth Route Army recovers Shanxi, its influence in the whole country and even in the international community will only surpass that of his old Chiang......" (To be continued.) )
