Chapter 96: Molotov cocktails, anti-tank trenches!

"By the way, among the cities near Shuocheng and Jialin City, how many Type 95 light tanks can be assembled?"

Yoshinan Shinozuka finally asked Michiichi Miyano.

Miyano Michiichi said, "Commander, I need to look at the map to find out. ”。

"Okay!!"

Yoshinan Shinozuka's head.

Michichi Miyano immediately looked at the map carefully, and then sent someone to immediately find out the number of Type 95 light tanks that the Japanese army could dispatch in each city near Shuocheng and Jialin City.

A few minutes later, Miyano Michiichi figured out the number of Type 95 light tanks that could be dispatched in the Japanese-controlled cities closest to Shuocheng and Jialin Castle.

"Commander!!"

After Miyano Michiichi got the exact number of tanks, he said to Shinozuka Yoshinan: "The number of Type 95 light tanks that can be urgently assembled in the direction of Shuocheng and Jialin Castle is probably more than twenty in total. ”。

"Then let each of these tanks concentrate ten of them, and rush to Shuocheng and Jialin City respectively to assemble, and prepare to accompany the covering infantry to attack Liujiazhen and Qingzhou City."

Shinozuka Yoshinan nodded when he heard this, and then waved his big hand and said.

"Yes, Commander!!"

Miyano Road paused for a while.

"Now, it's up to us to see the results of a simultaneous attack in both directions at seven o'clock tomorrow morning."

Shinozuka Yoshinan said in a condensed voice: "I hope that Nakamura Zhenxiong commands the 9th Brigade and the 15th Brigade and other units, and can solve the division of Li Yunlong of the Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army." ”。

"Your Excellency Commander, we will succeed, more than 18,000 elite imperial troops, crushing at most 8,000 independent regiments of the Eighth Route Army, it should not be a problem, not to mention, it is also equipped with more than 20 Type 95 light tanks, this powerful strength, I believe that the imperial army must be the final victor."

Miyano Michiichi is full of confidence, you must know that this is almost in time for the strength of the imperial army commanded by Seishiro Itagaki at the time of the Battle of Xinkou.

With so many troops and heavy weapons and equipment mobilized this time, it should not be a problem to crush the independent regiment.

Shinozuka Yoshinan nodded, but he was inexplicably a little uneasy in his heart, this counterattack on the independent regiment may not be smooth sailing.

"Li Yunlong, Li Yunlong! Li Yunlong!! ”

Shinozuka Yoshinan muttered in his heart, and finally cursed in his heart, "Eight Ge Yalu, hateful Li Yunlong!" ”

Two hours later, Ping'an County, in the city, the independent regiment headquarters!

"Ha Qiu, Ha Qiu, Ha Qiu!!"

After sneezing three times in a row, Li Yunlong couldn't help but touch his nose and muttered, "Damn, who is thinking about Lao Tzu?" ”。

"Lao Li, what's wrong? Got a cold? ”

At this time, political commissar Zhao Gang happened to be sitting on the side and said with a smile.

"I don't know, maybe someone is talking about Lao Tzu behind my back!"

Li Yunlong smiled and said.

"It's not like the little devil misses you!"

Zhao Gang said with a smile.

"Perhaps!"

Li Yunlong shrugged his shoulders and said, but then asked Zhao Gang: "Now that the wind is calm, I only got the news that the 15th Brigade of the Devil was secretly stationed in Jialin City." ”。

"Now, it is necessary to confirm the direction of action of the 9th brigade."

Zhao Gang knocked on the map on the table, pointed at Li Yunlong and said in a condensed voice: "We have scattered all the scouts who can be scattered." ”。

"Especially the three battalions stationed in Qingzhou City, as well as the first battalion of the first line of heaven, have already sent out the reconnaissance elite that can be sent out, and there is no latest news from the 9th Brigade of the Devil for the time being."

After a pause, Zhao Gang said again: "But Lao Li, if the 9th Brigade is assembled in Jialin City, it is impossible not to be known by our people." ”。

"What's more, it's in the direction of Qingzhou City, the news will come soon, don't worry!"

Li Yunlong looked at the map and thought about it.

"That's right!!"

Li Yunlong said.

However, as soon as the words fell, a communication soldier walked out of the communication room of the regiment headquarters, walked up to the two of them, stood up and saluted, and reported: "Report to the regiment commander, political commissar, and the third battalion is in an emergency." ”。

"Oh? Could it be? ”

Li Yunlong had a flash of inspiration when he heard this, and suddenly asked.

The signal soldier didn't say anything, but Zhao Gang on the side immediately took the telegram from the signal soldier and quickly swept it, then smiled and said to Li Yunlong: "Old Li, you think well." ”。

"Give!!"

Li Yunlong hurriedly took the telegram from the third battalion from Zhao Gang's hand, and quickly looked at the words on the telegram with his eyes.

It took less than ten seconds to read it, after all, the emergency telegram of the third battalion did not have much content, and it was read quickly.

"Wang Huaibao, this kid is doing well!!"

Li Yunlong put the finished telegram on the table, and then said with a smile: "It's confirmed, the 9th Brigade of the Devil has arrived in the direction of Shuocheng." ”。

"It seems that Shinozuka Yoshinan's next counteroffensive against us is to attack in two directions!"

After a pause, Li Yunlong said again, "I feel that the devil is a little scattered to attack!" ”

"It is estimated that the devil also realizes that attacking in one direction alone is indeed a waste of troops!"

Zhao Gang analyzed.

"Almost!"

Li Yunlong nodded, then looked at the map, and said to Zhao Gang: "A brigade is responsible for one direction, and this is to divide the troops to attack." ”。

"Then, according to the previous deployment, just divide the troops to resist."

Zhao Gang bowed his head, and then suggested: "I think the fourth battalion hidden in Zhaojiayu can be transferred to the south." ”。

"According to the time when the 9th Brigade of the Devils arrived in Shuocheng, plus the time when the Devils' general attack was launched. The fourth battalion can be transferred south now. ”

Li Yunlong thought about it, looked at the time again, and said, "Don't worry, the fourth battalion will be transferred south at night." ”。

"It's still daytime!"

Zhao Gang looked at the time on the watch in his hand, and also said, "Yes!" ”。

"At night, the fourth battalion will be transferred south, at least under the cover of night, you can avoid the eyes and ears of the devil as much as possible!"

Li Yunlong said: "Not bad!! ”。

"Now, it's up to the devils to attack. Ordered all battalions to prepare for battle, and I estimate that it would be best to launch an attack during the day for the devil's counterattack against our independent regiment. But it may take time for the 9th Brigade to arrive in Shuocheng. ”

"Based on this calculation, coupled with the devil's favorite use of air superiority and ground strength and artillery superiority during the day, the little devil's counterattack may start tomorrow. Lao Zhao, what do you think? ”

Zhao Gang agreed with Li Yunlong's analysis and said, "Old Li, your analysis is very reasonable. ”。

"Now the supplies of each battalion, I have coordinated, once the battle starts, food, grass and ammunition, I will send it at any time!"

Li Yunlong smiled and said, "It's up to you Lao Zhao then." ”。

"Okay! There is no problem in keeping the logistics supply! ”

Zhao Gang said with confidence.

However, as soon as Zhao Gang finished speaking, another regimental headquarters signal soldier came out of it, walked quickly in front of the two of them, stood up and saluted, and reported: "Report to the regiment commander, the brigade headquarters has sent information about devils!" ”。

"Oh?"

Li Yunlong was a little puzzled when he heard this, and then after taking the telegram from the communication soldier and reading it, he said to Zhao Gang on the side with a contemplative look: "The devil is secretly mobilizing the Type 95 light tanks to assemble on the front line of Shuocheng and Jialin City. ”。

"It is estimated that there are more than a dozen or twenty vehicles, which were transmitted to us by the brigade headquarters with urgent information obtained from the headquarters!"

Zhao Gang also took the telegram and read it quickly, and then frowned and said: "The devil's tank is not easy to deal with, Lao Li." ”。

"It's just a Type 95 light tank, and it's not really difficult to deal with."

Li Yunlong smiled and said, "Molotov cocktails, anti-tank trenches and other effective means, I have a lot in my heart, Lao Zhao." ”。
