Kong Jie reminded: "Lao Li, in the face of the Japanese army's A division, you must not be careless. ”

"When we crossed the Yellow River, the main force of the 115th Division ambushed the baggage troops of the 21st Brigade of the 5th Division of the Japanese Army at Pingxingguan, and it was only a narrow victory, and the casualty ratio was almost 1:1."

"You must know that most of the soldiers who participated in the battle of Pingxingguan have been baptized for 25,000 miles, and their will to fight and combat ability are extremely strong."

"And the other side is just a baggage force, and they are all fighting so hard, it is conceivable that the regular field troops of the Japanese army's A division are more powerful."

The 5th Division is one of the standing divisions of the Japanese army, known as the Steel Army, and participated in almost all the wars of aggression against China: the First Sino-Japanese War, the Eight-Nation Alliance, the Russo-Japanese War, and the Chinese War of Resistance Against Japan.

The 21st Brigade Regiment, which belongs to the 5th Division, is the elite of the A Division and is known as the flower of the army.

However, most of this army flower was annihilated by the Fifth Army of the National Army at Kunlun Pass, and even the brigade commander, Major General Nakamura Masao, was killed, and more than 85% of the non-commissioned officers above Cao Chang died.

The total strength of the Japanese Army's Division A is more than 28,000 people.

Li Yunlong estimated that now there are more than 20,000 people in the new group, and when this batch of business is down, the new group can also expand to nearly 30,000 people.

The Japanese division had tanks and armored vehicles, as well as large-caliber heavy artillery, and even air support.

And it's hard to say whether the new regiment has tanks, so I have to see Boss Chen and ask first, but there are large-caliber heavy artillery, and air support is also available.

The devils have logistical supplies, but the new regiment also has airdrops.

If you really have to fight with a Japanese army division regiment, Li Yunlong is really not afraid.

But the crux of the matter is that the Japanese army must have more than one division.

The main reason is that Li Yunlong has won too many battles for more than a year, and Kong Jie is afraid that he will be too arrogant, so he reminds him so

"Lao Li, what Captain Kong said is right, we have to prepare early." Zhao Gang also said with a solemn expression.

Li Yunlong smiled and said, "Of course, you have to prepare early, in fact, since the day we set foot in the northwest of Shanxi, our old Li has been thinking about this matter." ”

At that time, just after the Battle of Taiyuan, the headquarters of the First Army of the Japanese Army was wiped out and Yoshio Shinozuka was killed.

Li Yunlong expected that the Japanese army would retaliate frantically, so in addition to daily work and study, Li Yunlong has been pondering the anti-sweeping plan.

But what Li Yunlong didn't expect was that he didn't wait for the Japanese army's sweep, but waited for the Japanese 36th Division, and after the 36th Division arrived in the northwest of Shanxi, it was still blockading there.

This gave the new regiment an opportunity to grow and develop, and the new regiment was expanded by 15,000 men at once, and the 36th Division of the Japanese army was severely damaged in another battle.

"Oh?" Ding Wei suddenly became interested and asked, "Lao Li, have you figured out something?" ”

Li Yunlong said: "Don't say it, let me figure out something." ”

"I estimate that the formation of the little devil's attack this time is not small, at least there are more than 4 divisions."

"The devils will definitely attack from the north, east, and south of the northwest of Jin."

"Drive our Eighth Route Army and the people of northwest Jin to the west in the direction of the Yellow River."

"When we are about to reach the Yellow River, we will send planes to blow up the ferries and boats along the Yellow River, so that the little devils can drive us all into the Yellow River."

"Lao Li's analysis makes sense." Kong Jie nodded and said, "If I were Okamura Ninji and Iwamatsu Yoshio, I would do the same!" ”

In fact, in the face of the devil's sweep, if the Eighth Route Army gave up the common people and with the fighting will and organization of the Eighth Route Army, it would not be difficult to break through.

The difficulty is to protect the common people and break through the siege.

After Okamura Ninji came to power, he implemented a campaign to strengthen public order and implement the three-light policy for the military and civilians in the base areas of the Eighth Route Army.

In the original play, the independent regiment led by Li Yunlong suffered two-thirds of the casualties in the May Day sweep and in order to protect the people in the breakout.

In the face of the sweep of the Japanese army, the Eighth Route Army had to protect the safety of the people in addition to fighting the Japanese army.

The Eighth Route Army would not be like President Chang, in order to delay the Japanese attack, he did not hesitate to break the embankment and drown nearly a million people, and millions of people were displaced.

Ding Wei asked, "Lao Li, what is your anti-sweeping plan?" ”

"I haven't made a specific anti-sweep plan yet." Li Yunlong said, "But I already have a preliminary idea. ”

"What thoughts?"

Li Yunlong said in a condensed voice: "This time, our counter-sweep is mainly based on positional warfare and movement warfare. ”

"The northwest of Shanxi is mainly mountainous, which is very suitable for tunnels and anticline operations."

"In this attack, the 36th Division captured about 4,000 tons of ash and steel bars."

"In addition to digging tunnels on the road that devils must pass, we must also build more hidden forts, and the dark forts will come according to the standards of devils, so as to delay the enemy's attack and consume the enemy's living force."

"When the consumption is almost exhausted, let's lure the enemy deeper and concentrate the main force to eliminate the devil."

Unless it is a last resort, Li Yunlong really doesn't want to leave the northwest of Shanxi and leave Zhaojiayu, after all, the airport, munitions warehouse, and grain warehouse of the new regiment are all here.

Although the land in the northwest of Jin is barren and there is a lack of water, the people in the northwest of Jin are very good, and the common people are very supportive of the work of the Eighth Route Army.

"That's a good tactic!" Ding Wei nodded in praise, he knew the power of tunnel tactics, and the battle of Baozishan annihilated more than 3,000 Japanese soldiers with more than 1,000 troops.

If you add a thickened reinforced concrete bunker to form a crossfire, the power may be incredible.

At present, not only the new regiment, but also Ding Wei's new second regiment and Kong Jie's independent regiment are all full of ammunition.

It is completely possible to fight positional warfare with devils, and the machine gun has enough bullets, and if it is not enough, it can be airdropped.

The tactic of rushing forward after three or five bullets and fighting with devils with a bayonet is a gone thing.

Kong Jie said: "Lao Li, you have so much ash and steel bars here, there is no problem in building a thickened dark fort, but Lao Ding and I don't have ash and steel bars." ”

Ding Wei's defense area was in the south of the northwest of Shanxi, and Kong Jie's defense area was in the north of the northwest of Shanxi.

And Li Yunlong's defense area is in the middle of the northwest of Shanxi, close to the location of the Tongpu Railway.

"Didn't Lao Li just seize more than 240 mule carts from the devil." Ding Wei said, "Just use a mule cart to transport the ash and steel bars to us." ”

Although there are no roads in the three base areas, there are horse trails that can be passed by mule carts.

Li Yunlong said: "You have also seen this thickened bunker, it is not an ordinary bunker, the materials required are several times that of ordinary reinforced concrete bunkers, and my little ash and steel bars are only enough for me here at most." ”

Kong Jie was suddenly a little dumbfounded, and hurriedly asked: "Then Lao Ding and I, just use those tunnel tactics?" ”

Although the soldiers of the New Second Regiment and the Independent Regiment are learning the book of tunnel and anti-slope tactics, they have not yet been in actual combat.

"Don't worry, we are in the same boat now, and our Lao Li will not treat you badly."

After eating a large piece of meat, Li Yunlong said again: "I will give credit to Boss Chen, advance a part of the ash and steel bars first, and send it to you by airdrop." ”

"Oh?" Ding Wei and Kong Jie were surprised and delighted when they heard this, and they were able to take credit and advance supplies, and their posture increased.

At this moment, the decoder of the new regiment walked in with a telegram in his hand, saluted with a military salute, and then said: "Report to the head of the regiment, the headquarters telegram!" ”

Li Yunlong took the telegram from the telegraph operator and read it, the coder turned and left, and everyone stopped discussing.

After reading it, Li Yunlong looked at Ding Wei and Kong Jie: "Haha, Lao Ding, Lao Kong, I want to congratulate you on making a fortune!" ”

Ding Wei and Kong Jie hurriedly glanced at each other, and then looked at Li Yunlong, Kong Jie asked eagerly: "Lao Li, make it clear, what kind of fortune do I make with Lao Ding?" ”

Li Yunlong said: "The head of the headquarters commended our three regiments in a telegram, and this time we earned 1,000 tons of weapons and equipment from doing business, in order to deal with the Japanese army's sweep of the base area in the northwest of Shanxi, the head of the headquarters gave 500 tons of weapons and equipment to your two regiments, in addition, the head of the headquarters also ordered our new regiment to launch a large-scale sabotage operation on the Tongpu Railway in the near future. ”

Ding Wei and Kong Jie's eyes quickly lit up, and Ding Wei hurriedly asked, "Is it American-style equipment?" ”

"American-style equipment, of course."

The corners of Li Yunlong's mouth curled slightly, this batch of equipment was going to be handed over to the headquarters anyway, and the head of the headquarters gave this batch of equipment to Ding Wei and Kong Jie, and Li Yunlong was also happy for them.

Moreover, after this batch of American-style equipment was given to Ding Wei and Kong Jie, the independent regiment and the new second regiment could only obey his command Li Yunlong when replenishing ammunition in the future.

Because Lao Li can reimburse them for weapons and ammunition.

Kong Jie suddenly said happily when he heard this: "Haha, American-style equipment, Lao Ding, we are really rich this time!" ”

Ding Wei also smiled and said nothing, but from the upturned curvature of the corners of his mouth, you can see how happy he is at the moment.

Although the weapons and ammunition equipped by the new regiment are not all American-style equipment, they are mainly American-style equipment, and how strong and powerful the firepower is, it is false to say that Ding Wei and Kong Jie do not envy it.

And 1,000 tons of weapons and ammunition can equip almost 15,000 troops.

Half of the weapons and ammunition can get 7,500 troops, and another half, Ding Wei and Kong Jie can each get more than 3,200 people of weapons and equipment.

Almost all the main infantry of the Independent Regiment and the New Second Regiment can be reequipped.

At present, the main forces of the independent regiment and the new second regiment each have 4,000 people, of which more than 800 are composed of artillery and logistics personnel.

plus this capture in the battle, as well as a share of the business that Li Yunlong promised.

This time back, Ding Wei and Kong Jie were able to expand their respective regiments to about 10,000 people.

Thinking of this, Kong Jie picked up the wine bowl and said, "Haha, Lao Ding, I want to congratulate you, you are going to be a teacher!" ”

Ding Wei also picked up the wine bowl and touched Kong Jie: "Old Kong, happy and happy, you also want to be a teacher." ”

"Look at your little bit of interest."

Grand Master Li Versailles said: "This is just the life of the master so happy? ”

"I'm already content with Lao Ding." Kong Jie said, "There is no comparison with your Lao Li, now you are living the life of a military commander, and the equipment is better than Lao Jiang's ace army." ”

Ding Wei also said: "This person has to die more than others, and the goods have to be thrown away, there are people behind you Lao Li to take care of it, and in the future, you Lao Li will eat meat, we will not be greedy with Lao Kong, just give us a sip of soup." ”

Haha smiled, Li Yunlong said: "No problem, I'll give you two more 100 M3 submachine guns." ”

This time, if you take down three counties outside the county, you will get 600 M3 submachine guns.

The stronger Ding Wei's new Second Regiment and Kong Jie's Independent Regiment were, the greater Li Yunlong's confidence in winning the anti-sweeping operation.

……

Peking Airport.

A Ki57 transport plane slowly landed on the runway.

The transport plane stopped on the secondary runway, and several ground crew members hurriedly moved the ladder over and put it in front of the cabin door.

The door of the plane was pushed open, and Yoshio Iwamatsu, who had a document bag under his arm, stepped down.

Looking at the empty runway, Iwamatsu Yoshio felt a trace of bitterness in his heart.

This is the treatment of a defeated battle, and General Okamura did not send a car to pick him up.

But Iwamatsu Yoshio didn't blame Okamura Ninji, who called himself the general of the defeated army?

The death of Lieutenant General Jing Guancheng, the commander of the 36th Division, the heavy damage of the 36th Division, and the failure to lure Yan Xishan to surrender are simply a shame, what qualifications do they have to take a car?

At the moment, Iwamatsu Yoshio, under the protection of several guards, prepared to go to the headquarters of the North China Front on foot.

However, before Yoshio Iwamatsu could leave the airport, an armored car and two trucks drove up from the airport entrance.

The convoy stopped in front of Iwamatsu Yoshio and others, and amid Iwamatsu Yoshio's surprised expression, the deputy chief of staff of the North China Front, Seizo Arisue, stepped down from the armored car.

Iwamatsu Yoshio said: "There is a last gentleman, why are you?" ”

After the former deputy chief of staff of the North China Front Army, Hirata Masa, was killed by Zhao Gang at Niangzi Pass, it was Seizo Arisue who succeeded Hirata Masa.

However, the military rank of the last Seizan is Dazuo.

Yousue Jingsan hurriedly said: "General Yansong, General Gangcun ordered me to come to the airport to pick up the general to go to the headquarters, and the road was delayed because of a trivial matter, please forgive your Excellency." ”

"Pick me up?" Yoshio Iwamatsu looked surprised, and at the same time felt a little moved in his heart.

"Hey!" Seizo made a gesture of please, "General, please get in the car!" ”

"You've worked hard." Yoshio Iwamatsu nodded and got into the armored car.

The advantage of armored vehicles is that they can be bulletproof, and in these years, sedans also have bulletproof cars, but they are very rare.

Then, Iwamatsu Yoshio's guards jumped into the truck, and the convoy headed towards Beiping City.

……

The convoy arrived at No. 3 Iron Lion Hutong, that is, the headquarters of the North China Front.

After getting out of the car, under the guidance of Seizo Arisue, Yoshio Iwamatsu finally came to the office and met Okamura Ninji.

"Your Excellency, General!" Iwamatsu Yoshio bowed his head to Okamura Ninji nervously and said, "Iwamatsu Yoshio, the general of the defeated army, was ordered to report to you. ”

Okamura Ninji raised his head and said with a solemn hand: "Iwamatsu-kun has worked hard, please take a seat!" ”

"Hey!"

Okamura Ninji came out from behind his desk and sat down face to face with Yoshio Iwamatsu, and immediately a guard brought freshly brewed tea.

"Your Excellency, General!" Iwamatsu Yoshio said, "The 36th Division of the Northwest Jin Campaign was defeated, and Lieutenant General Jingguan was shattered, and I, the commander of the First Army, have an unshirkable responsibility, please punish Your Excellency the General." ”

Okamura Ninji waved his hand and said: "Yan Songjun, this time you are asked to come to Beiping, not to investigate the responsibility for the defeat of the 36th Division, but to discuss how to eliminate Li Yunlong and the Eighth Route Army in the northwest of Jin, and how to wash away the shame of the North China Front!" ”
