The removal of a wing of weapons and ammunition and 300 tons of food has been prioritized for the arrival of a new regiment through the airfield.

Now the firepower of the new regiment is already terrifying.

However, Li Yunlong still felt that it was not enough, if he only fought the ground troops, this configuration could be said to be a god blocking and killing a god in the Shanxi battlefield, and a Buddha blocking and killing a Buddha.

But the little devil can't stand the aviation, this thing can't be guarded against, it's like a sword hanging around the neck, it can fall at any time.

Although the bombing and reconnaissance of the devil planes were circumvented in the previous battles.

But the Devil's aircraft can greatly limit the maneuver of artillery units, and most of the time they can only march at night.

"This family is indeed very wealthy."

After a pause, Li Yunlong said in an emotional tone, "If only we had planes and tanks."

The devil's tank Li Yunlong is not afraid.

Even if the devil comes to a tank division with more than 300 tanks, one of his regiments equipped with 300 bazooka rocket launchers can easily cope with it.

It's just a matter of one rocket per Bazooka group, and if one is not enough, a few more.

However, the little devils are only equipped with anti-tank guns in permanent divisions, and if Li Yunlong has a tank in his hand, the little devils do not have many means to deal with it.

For example, the brigade tank battalion he commanded last time, 12 modified devil tanks, and tanks with modified large-caliber heavy machine guns have amazing firepower.

Quack kills.

After the war, the 12 modified tanks had already been returned to the brigade headquarters, but Li Yunlong pasted more than 20 large-caliber heavy machine guns.

Moreover, the devil plane can also limit the play of tanks, and the last time they fought in street battles, they didn't dare to drive tanks into the city to fight street battles.

Once targeted by the devil's plane, hitting the ground tank at high altitude is like hitting a target, and the aircraft's aerial bombs and cannons can easily destroy the tank.

"Planes and tanks?" Zhao Gang said: "The airport is there, will the planes and tanks be far away, sooner or later, what's the hurry?"

Zhao Gang continued: "In other aspects, there are 731 cavalry horses, including 612 cavalry battalions, 53 sword squadrons, 66 military horses of commanders above the company level plus signal corps and artillery battalions, and 361 large mules of the transport team plus artillery battalions."

"The existing ammunition reserves can support us to fight one or two major battles, and the food reserves are open enough to eat for 3 months, and the savings are enough to eat for 4 months."

Although the bullets and shells are both 3 bases, the guy in the hands of the new group of fighters has strong firepower, and strong firepower means that the speed of ammunition consumption is faster.

The loss is that there is a reimbursement for each victory, and if there is too much ammunition in stock, it will take a lot of men and livestock just to carry that much ammunition.

After talking about the family background of the new group, Zhao Gang put down his notebook and said in a worried tone: "Our current weapons, ammunition and food are enough, but the common people are more miserable, now is the season of farming in the village, once the devil launches a summer sweep on our base area, it will definitely destroy the farmland, and there will be no grain harvest in the second half of the year in the entire southeast base area of Shanxi... The consequences are unimaginable."

Li Yunlong thought about this question carefully and nodded, "So, we must win the next anti-sweeping battle!"

……

Taiyuan.

The headquarters of the First Army.

"Your Excellency Commander, the 62nd Wing was ambushed by the Eighth Route at Niangzi Pass, and all the jade shatters may not be entirely a bad thing."

Kusuyama Hideyoshi took the folder and said to the commander Yoshio Shinozuka who was sitting opposite.

Yoshio Shinozuka frowned, wondering if the chief of staff's brain was broken, isn't this a bad thing?

That's the lives of more than 3,600 imperial soldiers, and after fighting the entire Battle of Zhongtiao Mountain, the number of Japanese casualties may not reach 3,600.

Kusuyama Hideyoshi looked at Yoshio Shinozuka who was frowning, and hurriedly said, "Your Excellency Commander, since the incident has happened, there is no point in getting angry again, we have to look at the consequences of this incident."

Yoshio Shinozuka snorted coldly, "As a consequence, I have been severely criticized by the North China Front Headquarters, the Dispatch Army Headquarters, the Base Camp, and His Majesty the Emperor."

At this time, Yoshio Shinozuka was also very indignant, why is it always me who is unlucky?

Why?

Although the 62nd Wing of the 21st Division did not belong to the First Army, the accident was on the territory under the jurisdiction of the First Army.

Moreover, on the third day after the incident, Li Yunlong sent another telegram in clear code: Thank you Yoshio Shinozuka, the captain of the Eighth Route Army's transportation brigade, for sending the 62nd Wing to the mouth of the Eighth Route Army, and Li Yunlong claimed responsibility for the ambush battle.

It made Yoshio Shinozuka almost unable to get off the stage, and explained to Tada Jun and the base camp for a while.

Yoshio Shinozuka also ordered his subordinates to invent a code telegram to respond to Li Yunlong, saying that his knife skills have improved rapidly recently, and if Li Yunlong washes his neck, he will definitely cut off Li Yunlong's head.

Nanshan Hideyoshi was speechless for a moment, it seems that His Excellency the Commander doesn't know how to think much under the blow of the flip.

Nanshan Hideyoshi said: "Your Excellency Commander, the destruction of the 62nd Wing will make the Central Army of China and the Sui Army of Jin more firmly believe that the next target of the imperial army's sweep will definitely be the Eighth Route Army in the southeast of Jin.

He placed the folder on the table and made a fist movement with his hands.

When Yoshio Shinozuka heard this, he finally raised his interest, and his eyes flashed: "Nanshan-kun, what you said... It seems to make some sense."

Now he is full of thoughts about honorable retirement, and as for the rest, he doesn't care much about it.

Yoshio Shinozuka looked at the folder on the table.

Nanshan Hideyoshi hurriedly said: "Your Excellency, Commander, this is a detailed battle plan made overnight, in view of the fact that the Eighth Route Army in the southeast of Jin Province often goes north to attack the Zhengtai Railway, it is recommended that the mobilization of materials and troops be completed by the Beitongpu Railway."

In the Battle of the Hundred Regiments, the Beitongpu Railway was also seriously damaged by the Eighth Route Army, but after several months of emergency repairs, it has been repaired and can be opened to traffic.

After a pause, Kusuyama Hideyoshi said, "This battle plan consists of two operational phases, the first stage is preparatory operations, and the second stage is offensive operations."

"In the preparatory combat stage, first of all, the 36th Division was ordered to launch a sweep against the Taiyue base area southeast of the Eighth Route Jin, and the 110th Division to launch a sweep at the southern Hebei base area, pretending to create a favorable situation for a large-scale attack."

"Secondly, the frequent pre-war reconnaissance and use of suspicious tactics in the Taihang base area of the southeast of the Eighth Route Army."

"Before the battle, a large number of strategic materials were transported to the southeast of Shanxi during the day, and then secretly transported back at night, creating the illusion of preparing heavy troops to sweep the Eighth Route Army in the southeast of Jin."

"Cars and carriages were disguised as cannons, and cavalry was sent to drag tree branches and raise dust, creating the illusion of a large-scale march."

"Send a large number of spies to infiltrate the Eighth Route Army base area, and dispatch aircraft to carry out air and ground reconnaissance of the Eighth Route Army base area."

Yoshio Shinozuka nodded, looking satisfied, the suspicious plan formulated by Kusuyama Hideyoshi was still very good.

Last time, they fell for the suspicious tactics of the Eighth Route Army, and later, according to intelligence, Yoshio Shinozuka learned that Li Yunlong's regiment returned to the arsenal after changing clothes with the militia.

After knowing this, Yoshio Shinozuka's lungs were about to explode.

The good news is that the 2nd Guards Division's plan to encircle Wei and save Zhao was successful.

The bad news was that the main force of the 2nd Guards Division was wiped out by reinforcements from the Eighth Route.

Nanshan Hideyoshi continued: "In the offensive operation stage, two divisions were used to defend the Eighth Route southeast of Jinjin, one division was deployed on the Zhengtai Railway, the other one division was deployed in the area of Xiangyuan and Licheng, and the other five divisions, the 14th Brigade and the 18th Brigade, two reinforced brigades, and the 4th Cavalry Brigade launched a surprise attack on Zhongtiao Mountain from the east, west, and north directions."

"At the strategic level, under your orders from the Commander, the agents will come forward and quietly release some goodwill to the government of China before the war."

"I believe that if the Imperial Army dispatches heavy troops to destroy the Eighth Road, the government of China will definitely be happy to see it succeed."

"In addition, we can also take the initiative to leak the secret, the imperial army will use the strength of 6 divisions to fight against the eight roads southeast of Jin, and the government of China will know."

Although there are many details about the battle plan of the offensive combat phase

Yes, but Kusunayama Hideyoshi's words are very clear.

In short, all the signals released by the Japanese army, intentionally or unintentionally, were that they were about to launch a heavy sweep on the Eighth Route southeast of Jinjin.

"Yo Si!" Yoshio Shinozuka said happily, "There is no need to modify it, just follow Nanshan-kun's battle plan."

"Thank you, Commander, for your affirmation!" Kusuyama Hideyoshi looked grateful and bowed his head and said.

After a pause, Yoshio Shinozuka said again: "In addition, arrange a decapitation mission for Yamamoto-kun and his special team, if you don't use a sharp sword, it will rust."

Kusuyama Hideyoshi thought to himself, give Yamamoto-kun a chance, he won't be useful.

However, he didn't dare to say this, so he immediately bowed his head and said, "Hey!"

……

The next month or so.

The Japanese army stepped up the mobilization of troops and supplies from the Tongpu Railway.

The Eighth Route Army actively trained and prepared for war, stockpiled food and ammunition, and formulated a counter-sweeping plan.

Principal Chang and Yan Baichuan were eating melons and watching the play on the side.

The time soon came to May, during which the main force of the Eighth Route Army had completed the replacement of equipment.

The main force of the Eighth Route Army of the Taihang Military Region was replaced with sophisticated Japanese weapons, such as Type 38 rifles, Type 92 heavy machine guns, Type 96 light machine guns, Type 92 infantry guns, as well as grenadiers, mortars, and anti-tank guns.

In terms of firepower, it is more powerful than the ordinary units of the Japanese army.

The equipment that was eliminated by the main force was used to equip the basic regiments and local militia groups.

The militia was then supplemented with the backbone regiments and local militia groups, and these backbone regiments and militia regiments were immediately upgraded to the main regiments.

The main force of the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army in the Taihang Military Region was expanded by 40,000 at once, from more than 50,000 to more than 90,000.

After more than a month of training in preparation for war, the troops, which had just been upgraded to the main force regiment, had also initially formed combat effectiveness.

During this period, the planes of the devils frequently went to the base area in the southeast of Jinnan of the Eighth Route Army to carry out reconnaissance, and at the same time, there were constantly infiltration of the base area by spy personnel of the devil to reconnoitre.
