Although the troops of the Eighth Route Army were poorly equipped and lacked ammunition, they were not bad in terms of intelligence work.

During the 10-year civil war, our army produced many excellent intelligence workers, and now these intelligence workers are still hidden under the nose of the enemy.

They develop organizations, gather intelligence, collect and transport supplies, and help escort important people in and out of enemy-occupied blockades......

Their lives are loyal to the party, and their faith shines brightly.

They have a unified name, called the Underground Party.

Only a few hours had passed since what happened at Niangziguan, and an underground party had transmitted information to the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army.

"Niangzi Pass was shelled?"

"Dead a major general and a lieutenant general, several big lefts?"

"More than 3,000 Japanese casualties?"

After receiving the telegram from the communications staff officer, the deputy chief of general staff was stunned for a long time after reading it before he reacted, and his tone was hurried: "Is the news accurate?" ”

The matter is too big for the chief of staff to verify.

If this is true... Then it is no less than a major earthquake in the whole of North China!

"This is information from comrades in Taiyuan, and the authenticity of the information needs to be further verified." Communications Staff Officer.

"Then check it out as soon as possible." The chief of staff nodded, "Verify from multiple sources." ”

"Yes!" The communications staff officer straightened up, turned around and drafted two top-secret telegrams, which the telegraph operator sent out immediately.

After about half an hour, the communications room received three top-secret telegrams from different intelligence agents.

After reading the three telegrams, the communications staff officer looked excited to the chief of staff, but his tone was categorical:

"Chief of Staff, it has been verified by many parties, and the information is accurate."

"According to intelligence, the devil has suffered a lot of losses in Niangzi Pass this time, and the North China Front Command is already furious."

"There was a major general and a lieutenant general dead, and there were a few big lefts, and there were more than 3,000 devil soldiers killed or wounded."

"The latest intelligence is that Yoshio Shinozuka, commander of the North China Front, sent 10 planes to take off from Taiyuan and rush to Niangzi Pass to help, and 4 planes were shot down."

"Haha..."

After receiving the confirmation, especially after hearing that the Japanese army had shot down 4 planes, the chief of staff waved his fist fiercely: "Well done!" ”

"yes, well done." Then, the communications staff officer was puzzled: "Who could have done this?" ”

The chief of staff smiled without saying a word, patted the communications staff officer on the shoulder, turned around and walked out of the communications room, and walked into the headquarters war room.

The headquarters war room is the office of the head of the headquarters, and the work and combat meetings of the leaders are completed in the headquarters war room.

There has been no war recently, and the boss and the division commander are playing poker again.

At that moment, the chief of staff told the two chiefs the information received in the communications room.

The two chiefs suddenly lost interest in playing cards.

"Shelling of Niangziguan Railway Station."

"Eliminate 3,000 devils and kill a major general and a lieutenant general."

"Also shot down 4 Japanese planes."

In the conference room of the headquarters, Division Commander Liu listened to the chief of staff's account with an extremely surprised expression.

"Oh my boy." The boss also exclaimed in a tone, "What a big stroke, who will do this?" ”

The operational staff officers at the headquarters were also unbelievable and incredible.

That's a major general, a lieutenant general, and 3,000 Japanese troops.

How many major generals and lieutenant generals were there in the entire Japanese North China Front?

Will you be killed after the lady closes up?

Just when the leaders guessed which unit did it, the communications staff officer ran in and gave a military salute: "Report to the chief, Yan Xishan, commander of the Second Theater of Operations, sent an urgent telegram, asking us to find out which unit shelled the Niangziguan Railway Station, killed the Japanese major general and lieutenant general, and eliminated a large number of Japanese troops. ”

The division commander suddenly smiled and said, "Yan Laoxi's intelligence work is very good, I received the news so quickly." ”

"What Yan Laoxi means." The boss's eyes narrowed, "It wasn't the Jin Suijun who did it, but our troops?" ”

In the area of Dagu Mountain, Heng Mountain, and Wutai Mountain north of Niangzi Pass, there are several regiments of Jin Sui Army troops stationed, including 358 regiments.

And this 358 regiment is equipped with mountain artillery, and it cannot be ruled out that the shelling of Niangzi Pass was done by the troops of the Jin Sui Army.

"The Sword Comes"

It's just that as soon as Yan Xishan's telegram came, it showed that this attack was not done by the Jin Sui Army, and if it wasn't the Jin Sui Army, it must be the Eighth Route Army.

If it was done by Jin Suijun, with Yan Laoxi's character, I am afraid that it would have been publicized all over the world a long time ago, and at this time, the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army should have received good news from Yan Laoxi.

"Could it be that Li Yunlong did it?"

An operations staff officer who was short but a little chubby analyzed:

"What can kill and wound 3,000 Japanese soldiers is definitely not mortars, it can only be mountain artillery groups."

"And there are only a few mountain artillery groups in the Taihang and Taiyue Military Regions of our Eighth Route Army."

"The artillery brigade directly under the headquarters, the divisional artillery regiment, the three brigade artillery regiments of the 385 brigade and the 386 brigade, and then the two mountainous artillery battalions of Li Yunlong."

The last time the 9th Brigade of the Japanese Army was completely annihilated, 60 infantry guns were assisted, and Li Yunlong left 12 infantry guns.

The remaining 48 infantry guns, after consultation with the head of the headquarters, transferred 2 mountain guns from each artillery regiment, and also put together an artillery regiment for the 385th Brigade.

At this time, the two strongest main brigades of the 129th Division were equipped with artillery regiments.

At this time, the 129th Division was equipped with 5 artillery regiments, plus the number of artillery of the new regiment, which could make up 3 artillery brigades.

Of course, these 3 artillery brigades have a bit of moisture, half of the artillery is mortars and infantry guns, and half is 75-mm mountain artillery.

Not even 1 105-mm howitzer.

Moreover, the overall equipment of the 129th Division was still much inferior to that of the Japanese army.

Counting the Southern Hebei Military Region, the total number of troops of the 129th Division is about 14 brigades, and the equipment level of most of these 14 brigades is still very low.

The operational staff officer continued: "The headquarters of the transfer of artillery brigades, divisional artillery regiments, and brigade artillery regiments directly under the headquarters will definitely know. ”

"Only the transfer of Li Yunlong's mountain artillery battalion does not need to be approved by the headquarters."

"And Li Yunlong's mountain artillery battalion, although it is called a mountain artillery battalion, actually has 26 mountain artillery, and the number is almost catching up with the mountain artillery regiment."

"Killing 3,000 devils will cost at least a thousand rounds of mountain artillery shells, this kid must have this belongings."

In the conference room, the eyes of all the leaders gradually lit up as they listened to the analysis of the operational staff officers.

I think of it a few days ago, the new regiment completely annihilated an elite brigade of the Kwantung Army in Chenjiagou on the Zhengtai Highway.

At that time, all the leaders also guessed for a long time, all guessing who did it, and finally the new regiment sent dozens of seriously wounded to the headquarters hospital, and the 386 brigade reported that the new regiment did it, and the leaders suddenly realized that some leaders guessed correctly, and some leaders guessed wrong.

"I guess it's the same bastard." The boss laughed: "He has the strength and courage to do it!" ”

"If you want to know if Li Yunlong did it, it's very simple." The chief of staff said, "Don't you just call Chen Geng and Li Yunlong separately?" ”

"I'll make this call." The division commander said.

At that moment, Division Commander Liu walked quickly to the telephone, first called the new group, but did not get through.

Later, Division Commander Liu called the 386th Brigade again and asked where the new regiment had gone.

Chen even said that he asked Li Yunlong to take a new group to the Niangziguan area to engage in a side business.

hung up the phone, and the corners of the division commander's mouth curled up.

In the final analysis, Li Yunlong is also a subordinate of Division Commander Liu, this kid has made such a great contribution this time, and his face as a division commander is bright.

As soon as these words came out, all the leaders didn't have to guess, it must be that Li Yunlong didn't run.

"This kid really didn't expect me."

The boss crossed his arms in a tone of joy and appreciation: "He can always give you a big surprise, I, I really like him a little." ”

"Really, boss." The division commander asked, "With Li Yunlong's merits, he should also be promoted to brigade commander, right?" ”

The boss is on the rise, if he doesn't help Li Yunlong get an official at this time, when will he stay?

"Don't worry, Master, I have other plans." The boss laughed: "I can't treat your beloved general." ”

The division commander grinned: "It's also your favorite general, boss." ”

All the leaders laughed heartily, and the conference room at the headquarters was filled with a cheerful air.

……

On the morning of the third day.

The new regimental headquarters.

Grand Master Li, who hung up the phone, was still a little confused.

Just now the brigade commander called and praised him fiercely.

At first, Li Yunlong was still very curious, didn't he just kill a major general, and the new regiment didn't kill a major general.

Major General Misamu Tsuda, commander of the 4th Brigade, Major General Toranosuke Koshii, commander of the 9th Brigade, and Major General Naotomi Hattori, commander of the 21st Brigade.

Before this, the new regiment had killed 3 Japanese major generals, and the brigade commander had never praised him so much.

Under Li Yunlong's questioning, the brigade commander told him the truth, and the new regiment not only killed the Japanese major general this time, but also killed a Japanese lieutenant general, several big lefts, and 3,000 devils were killed and wounded.

After hanging up the phone, Grand Master Li was stunned, both unexpected and reasonable.

The mountain artillery battalion poured more than 500 shells into the palm-sized Niangziguan Railway Station, and the devils were killed and injured countless times.

At that moment, Li Yunlong told Zhao Gang the news, and the political commissar Zhao was also excited after hearing it.

Zhao Gang said with a smile: "Speaking of which, the luck component of this battle is too great, before leaving, I thought that it would be good to be able to kill Hirata Masashi and sentence a devil major general, I really didn't expect to achieve such a big result." ”

Grand Master Li also nodded approvingly.

What will happen when you kill a devil major general and a devil lieutenant general, Li Yunlong couldn't imagine.

But no matter what happens, it's a good thing for the Eighth Route Army.

It's really exciting to kill the lady and close this big fish.

Grand Master Li began to calculate the capital and business, and said: "The more than 3,000 devils who were killed and injured just returned the weapons and ammunition we had advanced before. ”

"Almost." Zhao Gang nodded and said, "No. 3000 devil, strictly speaking, is also a wing, not to mention more than 3,000 casualties." ”

The 2nd Infantry Wing of the 3rd Guards Division of the Japanese Army happened to be in that train, and the artillery fire washed the ground to achieve such a great result.

It's really just a big explode.

Li Yunlong continued: "The 1,300 shells consumed in the shelling of Niangzi Pass, the 100,000 rounds of ammunition consumed by the air defense, and the 3,600 rounds of machine artillery shells consumed by the air defense will be reimbursed by Brother Chen. ”

"Shot down 4 devil planes, it's 12 mountain guns, by the way, there is also the 9th Brigade that was completely annihilated last time, and the tank brigade that was killed has not yet settled with Brother Chen, there are 6 mountain guns."

"That adds up to 18 mountain cannons."

"Kill a few devils Da Zuo and a devil lieutenant general, such a big business, Lao Zhao, guess Brother Chen... What price will it give us? ”

"I don't know." Zhao Gang shook his head at first, and then his tone was firm: "But Brother Chen has always been generous, and the price is definitely not low!" ”
