The battle of Ping'an County made Li Yunlong famous. Lieutenant General Yoshio Shinozuka of the Japanese army in Taiyuan lost his temper again, and he stared at the surrounding area of Ping'an County in the northwest of Shanxi Province on the military map, on which the red and blue arrows indicating the situation of friend and foe were intertwined and entangled. A staff officer calculated on a scale that the area of the two sides was actually 1,000 square kilometers, and a rough estimate showed that the total number of troops invested by the two sides had reached more than 300,000.

More than 1,000 defenders in Ping'an County were all killed, all the Yamamoto special forces were shattered, and more than half of the reinforcements from all walks of life were also killed or wounded, the Beitongpu Railway was destroyed into several sections, and the wired communication network of the Japanese army in the entire northwest area of Shanxi Province was completely destroyed. Some Japanese strongholds were empty of troops due to reinforcements, and were taken advantage of by the local forces of the Chinese army. All of this was caused by the commander of the Eighth Route Army named Li Yunlong, what kind of person is he? How can it be so destructive? Even the well-equipped and well-trained Yamamoto Special Forces were wiped out, and no one survived. He was only a small regiment commander, how could he mobilize such a large number of troops to participate in the battle? Even the Chinese government army was involved. Yoshio Shinozuka couldn't figure it out, his intelligence department had already set up a file on Li Yunlong, but it was only a thin page:

It is reported that Li had participated in the strategic retreat of what the CCP called the Long March, was a relatively senior officer in the CCP army, and had made many military exploits (the reason for the meritorious service is unknown). He is currently the head of the 129th Independent Regiment of the 18th Group Army of the National Revolution of the Communist Party of China, with no military rank.

There is no one below, and there is not even a photo of Li Yunlong in the archives. What does this bastard look like?

Yoshio Shinozuka thought that one day I would cut off his head with my own hands and make a specimen of his head on my desk. Alas, there is only a first-class intelligence system, how can there only be fragmented information about this Li Yunlong? Yoshio Shinozuka felt a dull pain in his chest, and he couldn't spit out his stuffy breath. The intelligence department's explanation is that this person has never served in the government army of China, has no contact with various institutions of the government of China, and before the imperial holy war, this person was a little-known person in the Chinese communist army, and according to the regulations, the imperial intelligence department only collects information on officers at or above the rank of major general or division in the army of the enemy country or the hypothetical enemy country.

Yoshio Shinozuka closed the file indignantly and closed his eyes......

The headquarters of the Eighth Route Army also figured out what was going on for more than ten days after the battle. According to investigations, seven or eight main regiments and a large number of local troops were thrown into the battle, and these troops, without receiving orders, became pawns in the pattern of Li Yunlong's campaign.

It stands to reason that Li Yunlong mobilized tens of thousands of troops into battle without asking for instructions, and he was unorganized and undisciplined, especially attacking the county town for the sake of his wife, causing thousands of casualties, and there was a slight smell of communiqué and personal vendettas. However, judging from the actual results, this melee caused heavy losses to the Japanese army in the northwest of Shanxi, and the participating units won a lot of gains, and some small anti-Japanese base areas were inadvertently connected into pieces. Yan Xishan, commander of the Second Theater of Operations, also sent a telegram of commendation: Congratulations to all units of the Eighth Route Army on launching an active offensive in the northwest of Shanxi Province and achieving great results. In the end, the Political Department of the Eighth Route Army came up with a merit and demerit to offset the merits: In view of the fact that Comrade Li Yunlong, in order to avenge his personal revenge, led his troops to attack the county seat without asking for instructions, causing heavy casualties to his subordinates, and should have been severely punished, after consideration, it was held that Comrade Li Yunlong led his troops to completely annihilate the enemy in Ping'an County, which caused a positive response from all units and caused the enemy to pay a heavy price in the vast combat area.

It is said that even Chairman Jiang in Chongqing was shocked in those days, and he looked at the map and said to himself: "Niang Xipi, what is going on in the northwest of Jin?" What is the World War II Zone doing? ”

Li Yunlong didn't care much about punishment and meritorious service, anyway, since joining the Red Army, there have been more than a dozen large and small punishments and combat exploits, and there have been several promotions and demotions. Li Yunlong, who was the regiment commander of the Fourth Front Army, was criticized by the whole army because the soldiers had robbed the Tibetans of grain, and his post was demoted by two levels, from regiment commander to battalion commander. Li Yunlong didn't care much about this, and every time he mentioned this matter, he always said: "Lao Tzu is willing to commit discipline? That's no way, there are tens of thousands of troops in front of his mother, and there is not even a single grain left for Lao Tzu, and the Tibetans have food in their hands, so you just kneel down and call his grandfather and don't sell you. annoyed Lao Tzu, so he robbed his mother, this punishment is worth it! When crossing the meadow, no one in my regiment starved to death, and the other troops were so hungry that they couldn't bear it, and they all asked me for food by eating grass roots and boiling belts. Lao Tzu didn't give it, I said, this little bit of food was exchanged for Lao Tzu's punishment, oh, Lao Tzu carried the punishment, you eat food, this is too fucking unfair. ”

In the early days of the Anti-Japanese War, Li Yunlong became the commander of the regiment again, and after less than half a year, he caught up with the Battle of Xinkou, and the independent regiment captured five Japanese prisoners, all of whom were wounded and captured. At the beginning of the war, almost all the Japanese soldiers were outlaws, and very few were captured, and if they occasionally caught a few prisoners, they would be considered to have made great contributions, and according to the regulations, they should be immediately sent to the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, where there was an anti-war alliance of Japanese soldiers, and after being educated, captured Japanese soldiers could join the anti-war alliance to launch a political offensive against the Japanese invasion of China.

Li Yunlong itched when he saw the Japanese hands, and circled around the prisoners several times, but he didn't dare to do anything out of discipline. However, the Japanese prisoners did not know each other, and lay there kicking, biting, and tearing bandages with their hands, refusing to be carried on the stretcher by the soldiers.

Li Yunlong was on fire: "Damn shameless!" Ask these bastards, what do you want to do? He said to the Japanese translator.

The interpreter said, "They said, sir, please let us die." ”

Li Yunlong was happy when he heard it: "Okay, this is like a man." But also, he is also a five-foot-tall man, he didn't die on the battlefield, isn't it shameless to be a prisoner? Lao Tzu is also worried about how to send you, you five bastards still have to use a squad of troops to carry a stretcher. Everyone testify to me, it was these devils who begged me for themselves, it's not that Lao Tzu wants to kill them, I'll fulfill them, it's convenient for everyone. He pulled out his pistol and shot one of the five wounded soldiers in the head. For this matter, he recited another major demerit, demoted his position by one level, and became the deputy head of the regiment.

In Li Yunlong's own words, if there are more lice, it will not itch, and if there are more debts, you will not worry, so let it go.
