Taiyuan.

The headquarters of the First Army.

Communications staff officer Takeo Nakamura walked briskly into the commander's office.

In the office, Moritake Tanabe and Yoshio Iwamatsu are playing against each other.

Walking to the chess table, Takeo Nakamura first snapped his feet and straightened, and then paused: "Report, General Okamura is in an emergency!" ”

Tanabe Moritake and Iwamatsu Yoshio hurriedly glanced at each other, and Iwamatsu Yoshio waved his hand and said, "Read!" ”

"Hey!"

Nakamura Takeo picked up the telegram and read: "Three days later, the armies of all walks of life will launch an attack on the northwest of Jin, and all units of the First Army must take precautions against the eight routes in the southeast of Jin, in case the eight roads in the southeast of Jin go north to attack Taiyuan and Yangquan, and His Majesty the Locust will be on board, and the Great Japanese Locust Army will be on board!" ”

Iwamatsu Yoshio waved his hand, and Takeo Nakamura first put the telegram on his desk, and then turned to leave.

After Nakamura Takeo left, the commander of the First Army, Iwamatsu Yoshio, said with a sigh:

"The fishing plan was leaked, which led to the defeat of the Kuritabayashi detachment, and General Okamura didn't change the battle plan?"

Tanabe Moritake's eyes flashed slightly.

He heard some of the implications in Iwamatsu Yoshio's words.

The fishing plan was leaked, the Kurithayashi detachment was defeated, and this did not change the battle plan, so General Okamura wouldn't be crazy, right?

Tanabe Moritake said: "The general should be gambling, betting that the battle plan for sweeping northwest Jin has not been leaked." ”

In other words, he Tanabe Shengwu will definitely reformulate the battle plan, and only he knows it, and then wait until the war starts, and then give orders to those division commanders separately.

Iwamatsu Yoshio said again: "General Okamura's courage is too great, and I dare to bet on it." ”

"So he can become the commander of the front army and be promoted to the rank of general."

Tanabe Moritake smiled slightly and said, "And you and I are just lieutenant generals." ”

Although he is amiable on the surface, Tanabe Moritake is also speculating who is a spy at the top of the North China Front Command?

Commander Okamura Ninji still sent him to the front line to command the battle this time, which shows that he still trusts him.

After a pause, Tanabe Moritake got up and said, "Yan Songjun, this game of chess will continue to play when I come back from the northwest of Jin." ”

Okamura Ninji only gave three days to prepare, and it took at least two days for the Japanese army to move north from Taiyuan to the northwest of Jin, and then rest and prepare for another day, and start the offensive on the third day.

There is not a lot of time.

Iwamatsu Yoshio also stood up and said with a smile: "Then on behalf of the First Army, I wish Tanabe-kun victory and cut off Li Yunlong's head." ”

Tanabe Moritake laughed: "Then borrow Iwamatsu-kun's words." ”

After speaking, the two bowed and saluted each other, and Tanabe Moritake turned around and walked out with his saber on his shoulder.

With Tanabe Moritake's order, the 10th Division, which attacked the new 1st Regiment, the 21st Division, and the 35th Division, which attacked the new 2nd Regiment, prepared to move.

Due to the strong combat effectiveness of the new regiment, after the deployment and adjustment of Moritake Tanabe, the 237th Wing of the 41st Division of the First Army was temporarily transferred to the 10th Division and placed under the command of the division commander Jiro Ishikawa.

Originally, the 10th Division had 8 wings, but during the war, the 13th Cavalry Wing, the 13th Tank Wing, and 2 Machine Gun Brigades were strengthened.

After the wartime reinforcement, there were 10 wings plus 2 machine gun brigades, but after the Battle of Xinzhou, the 13th Tank Wing had only 15 tanks left, and the 13th Cavalry Wing suffered more than half of the casualties.

Even the 10th Infantry Wing of the 39th Division suffered most of the casualties.

The combat effectiveness of the 10th Division, which was strengthened during the war, was greatly reduced, and without air support, could the 10th Division still be able to fight a new regiment with heavy artillery and tanks?

So for the sake of insurance, Tanabe Moritake transferred a wing from the 41st Division of the 1st Army to the 10th Division.

……

Kenanpo.

Second Theater Command.

After Chu Yunfei received the order, he led the 358th Regiment through Kong Jie's defense area and came to Kenanpo to rest.

Li Yunlong made such a big move in Taiyuan and northwest Jinxi, and even the 358th Regiment was involved.

In the eyes of Okamura Ninji and Iwamatsu Yoshio, Chu Yunfei was just an insignificant little person, and even only by sending the strength of a wing, he could defeat the 358th Regiment.

If the 358th Regiment is still in the northwest of Jinjin, as soon as the Japanese soldiers arrive, the 358th Regiment will be dealt with.

It was precisely when he saw this layer that Chief Yan hurriedly transferred the 358th Regiment back to Kenanpo to prevent the ace troops of the Jin Sui Army from being dealt with by the Japanese army.

Even Commander Yan was ready to cross the Yellow River west and go to Qiulin Town, if the Eighth Route Army was defeated, the Japanese army was likely to attack Luliang Mountain while the iron was hot.

At this time, Chu Yunfei was reporting to Chief Yan about Li Yunlong's situation:

"Li Yunlong did not go to any military school, was born in mud legs, had a low level of education, and did not receive a military education, but he had first-class tactical command ability and a certain strategic vision."

"It's not an exaggeration to call it a military genius."

"If Li Yunlong had received a cultural and military education, coupled with his weapons assistance through that channel, his achievements in the future would probably be limitless..."

Li Yunlong in the original play is indeed what Chu Yunfei evaluated.

However, Li Yunlong in this time and space worked harder in cultural study, and in military education, he also worked hard to learn theoretical knowledge.

The combination of theory and actual combat, coupled with the soldiers' courageous will to fight, unparalleled organizational strength, first-class soldiers, and first-class equipment, can achieve today's achievements.

However, Chu Yunfei and Li Yunlong have not met many times, so Chu Yunfei's impression of Li Yunlong is still stuck in the first meeting.

Of course, when the two met, Li Yunlong would not flaunt his cultural knowledge and military theoretical knowledge.

Although in terms of culture, Li Yunlong started late and was not as good as Chu Yunfei, Li Yunlong had already broken away from the category of illiteracy, and he far surpassed Chu Yunfei in terms of military and tactical command ability.

Chief Yan's eyes narrowed: "In this way, this son is really a genius. ”

After a pause, Chief Yan asked again, "Yunfei, how much do you know about Li Yunlong's aid channel?" ”

Chu Yunfei thought for a while and said: "Sir, I don't know much about Li Yunlong's aid channel, I only know that it seems to be a mysterious person surnamed Chen, who has been providing equipment to Li Yunlong, and recently that mysterious person, the firepower of Li Yunlong's aid equipment has become stronger and stronger, and even 150mm howitzers have appeared, the number is about a howitzer regiment." ”

At the mention of the 150mm howitzer, Chief Yan's eyes showed a hint of heat, but it was quickly hidden.

In the 150-mm howitzer regiment, even Lao Jiang has only 2, and he Yan Laoxi has not one.

In fact, Yan Laoxi's real idea of wanting to buy Li Yunlong all the time was to get the assistance channel behind Li Yunlong.

As long as Li Yunlong can be allowed to defect to the Jin Sui Army, any machine guns, 75mm mountain artillery, 105mm howitzers, and 150mm howitzers are all his Yan Xishan's.

Chief Yan had already received the information, and now the Eighth Route Army's arsenal in the southeast of Shanxi Province has almost caught up with the scale of his original Taiyuan arsenal.

As for those production lines, intelligence sources show that they also come from Li Yunlong's aid channel, and the quality is comparable to the production lines of major foreign military factories.

At this moment, Deputy Commander Yang Xingru hurriedly walked in with a few telegrams, saluted Yan Laoxi, and said, "Report to the commander, about the Xinzhou Campaign, it has been investigated. ”

Although Yan Laoxi had received information two or three days before that a large force of Japanese troops had been defeated by the new regiment in Xinzhou.

However, the information is vague, and it is not clear about the course of the battle, how many troops were lost on both sides, and so on.

Although the Jin Sui army did not fight very well, after all, it had been operating in Shanxi for decades, and its intelligence means were not bad, and it took more than two days for various intelligence departments to finally figure out the beginning and end of the Xinzhou campaign.

"Say it quickly." Chief Yan looked at Yang Xingru.

Deputy Commander Yang Xingru glanced at Chu Yunfei and told the story of the Xinzhou Campaign.

"What are you talking about, Li Yunlong dispatched 1 heavy artillery regiment and 1 tank regiment?"

Hearing this, Yan Laoxi suddenly took a deep breath, his expression shocked and difficult to add.

Chu Yunfei on the side couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded, his pupils shrank suddenly, and then he was full of envy, and even a little jealous.

1 heavy artillery regiment plus 1 tank regiment ... Brother Yunlong, Brother Yunlong, you kid is so rich.

If you are so rich, why do you hold my more than 240 mule carts and not pay them back?

"That's right!"

Yang Xingru nodded, his expression was also a little shocked, but it was not as exaggerated as Yan Laoxi and Chu Yunfei, because he knew 10 minutes before the two.

He continued: "According to intelligence, most of the tanks dispatched by the new regiment this time were heavy tanks, and a small part were medium tanks, and the infantry cooperated with the tanks to attack with only one attack, and they defeated the 39th Wing of the 8th Brigade of the 10th Division of the Japanese Army, and then severely damaged the 13th Wing of Japanese tanks, and if it were not for the timely artillery support provided by the Japanese artillery wing, the 13th Wing of tanks was also completely annihilated. ”

Hearing this, Yan Laoxi's eyes were about to fall.

Heavy and medium tanks?

Even the little devils are equipped with medium and light tan, which is not at the same level as medium and heavy tan.

Yan Laoxi and Chu Yunfei instantly realized that these heavy and middle tanks must have come from Li Yunlong's aid channel.

Yan Laoxi's eyes became more and more red, and Chu Yunfei became more and more envious.

Yang Xingru said again: "In addition, the Japanese North China Front used to sweep the planes of the Eighth Route Army in the northwest of Shanxi this time, and the whole army was annihilated. ”

"How can it be wiped out?"

Yan Laoxi was stunned for a moment and asked, "Li Yunlong shelled the Japanese airfield again?" Didn't you receive any information? ”

So far, the new regiment has shelled the Japanese airfield twice, and both times it is the Xincheng airfield in the northern suburbs of Taiyuan.

Taiyuan is Yan Laoxi's lair, he has a large number of intelligence officers over there, and he is the first to know what is going on in Taiyuan.

"It's not!" Yang Xingru said, "According to intelligence, dozens of fighters suddenly appeared and shot down the Japanese planes, and even these fighters chased them to the airfield, bombing the Japanese airfields in North China. ”

Dozens of fighters!

Hearing this, Yan Laoxi was completely stunned, and the sourness on his face and eyes was no longer concealed.

Chu Yunfei's expression was okay, because he had seen Li Yunlong call dozens of planes and kill a Japanese infantry wing.

However, in his heart, he was extremely envious, as soon as the new regiment moved around, it was covered by planes, tanks and heavy artillery, and Brother Yunlong, this kid was simply rich.
