Peiping.

Iron Lion Alley.

Command of the North China Front.

The commanders of the front army, Okamura Ninji and Seizo Arise, were playing against each other in their offices.

Since the telegram sent by the front command in the morning, saying that the use of tunnel and anti-slope tactics had successfully blocked the offensive of the new regiment, Okamura Ninji felt refreshed.

People are in good spirits on happy occasions, and Okamura Ninji has a light smile on the corner of his mouth, indicating that he is in a good mood at this time.

As long as the 10th Division can block the offensive of the New 1st Regiment of the Eighth Road, the Locust Army will have a chance to destroy the New 1st Regiment and Li Yunlong.

Then, those previous mistakes can not only be written off, but he will also be rewarded by the base camp.

Li Yunlong has caused a lot of losses to the empire, and even the locusts know that there is such a person, so Li Yunlong must die.

"There are still hundreds of thousands of people in the new bandit area of the Eighth Road."

"When the locust army of the four divisions and regiments comes over, these hundreds of thousands of people will not be able to escape."

"It's a pity that the people of the two bandit areas of the New Second Regiment and the Independent Regiment ran away."

Okamura Ninji took a sip of Longjing tea, and then said slowly, his tone revealing indifference.

After he became commander of the North China Front, his policy was to strengthen law and order, and to use both the massacre and the Huairou policy.

The implementation of the policy of softness to the Chinese people in the security areas is, to put it bluntly, ideological slavery, and the compulsory introduction of Japanese language teaching in the occupied areas, so that the next generation of Chinese completely deviate from the Chinese character Chinese and Chinese culture, and become Japanese at the ideological level; As for non-security areas, the old devil implements the three-light policy, that is, killing, burning, and robbing.

This time, the Japanese army organized 5 divisions to attack the northwest of Shanxi, and the devil strictly implemented the three-light operation.

Originally, I thought that the Japanese army's 4 second-line divisions, plus 1 first-class division, defeated three regiments of the Eighth Route Army, but I didn't expect the battle to be like this.

"What Your Excellency Commander said is very true."

Yousue Jingsan echoed: "In the final analysis, Li Yunlong is too conceited, he thinks that with the new regiment, he can easily defeat the 10th Division of the Locust Army, which is simply whimsical. ”

"Now not only are the soldiers of the new regiment besieged, but even hundreds of thousands of ordinary people are also surrounded by locust armies."

"If the new group of bandits, these common people, also cross the Yellow River to northern Shaanxi, then they can avoid being slaughtered by the locust army."

"Then again." Okamura Ningji said: "The combat effectiveness of the new regiment of the Eighth Route Army is really impressive, and I estimate that the combat effectiveness of the new regiment of the Eighth Route Army is equivalent to that of the Fifth Division. ”

Yousue Jingsan was suddenly taken aback: "Your Excellency, Commander, the combat effectiveness of the new regiment can be compared to that of the Fifth Division?" That's an exaggeration, isn't it? The Fifth Division was the steel army of the Japanese Empire. ”

"No, it's not an exaggeration at all." Okamura Ninji waved his hand and said, "If the new regiment continues to develop, its combat effectiveness will even be comparable to that of the First Division of the Locust Army." ”

"Fortunately, after this battle, even if the new regiment is not completely wiped out, it will have to be greatly damaged, not to mention comparable to the first division of the Locust Army, it is estimated that it is not even comparable to the infantry wing of a second-line division of the Locust Army." ”

Okamura nodded, noncommittal.

Although the new regiment has channels of foreign aid.

However, the strength of the new regiment lies not only in the strength of its weapons and equipment, but also in the veterans and grassroots officers of the new regiment who have rich combat experience.

These veterans and grassroots officers followed Li Yunlong and won many battles in a few years, and the grassroots officers had rich experience in commanding operations and had extremely high combat qualities.

The more battles are won, the more experienced veterans will survive, and the stronger their combat effectiveness will be.

The new regiment is such a unit.

Other Chinese troops fought against the Japanese army, often suffering several times as many casualties as the Japanese army.

However, the new regiment of the Eighth Route Army fought against the Japanese army, and often the casualties of the Japanese army were several times that of the new regiment, and the morale of the new regiment was far superior to that of other Chinese troops.

"Your Excellency, Commander." Arisue Seizo continued: "My suggestion is to solve Li Yunlong and the new group. ”

"These five divisions will spend a few months replenishing troops and resting, and we will gather nearly 200,000 troops of these five divisions and the First Army to solve the main force of the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army in the southeast of Shanxi."

"According to intelligence, the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army has formed a relatively large scale in the arsenal in the southeast of Shanxi,"

"Let the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army in the southeast of Shanxi continue to develop, I'm afraid it will be ......"

Before Seizo finished speaking, the communications staff officer hurriedly walked in with a telegram in his hand, bowed his head to Okamura Ninji and reported:

"Report to the commander, the locust army Jin Northwest Front Command has an urgent telegram!"

"Read!" Okamura Ninji said casually, not realizing that the new regiment's offensive at this time was already overwhelming.

The communications staff officer paused, took the telegram and read in a deep voice: "The new regiment of the Eighth Route Army uses Spitfire tanks, and under the cover of heavy artillery and medium tanks, more than 10 positions of the 10th Division of the Lianke Locust Army, Lieutenant General Jiro Ishikawa requests to concentrate the main force of the 10th Division and start a decisive battle with the new regiment of the Eighth Route Army!" ”

"Nani?" Okamura Ninji turned his head abruptly, his tone was incredulous, "The 10th Division has been conquered more than 10 positions in a row? ”

On the side, Seizo Sue also cast an incredulous look at the communications staff officer.

Didn't it say that the offensive of the new regiment was contained, how could it be so quickly connected to more than 10 positions?

"Hey!"

The communications staff officer glanced at Okamura Ninji's penetrating gaze, and then quickly bowed his head.

"Spitfire?"

Okamura Ningji's eyes suddenly froze, why did Balu suddenly equip the Spitfire tank?

Yousujingsan's tone was solemn: "Before this, there was no information that the Eighth Road was equipped with a Spitfire tank, or the Eighth Road had already obtained the Spitfire tank, and it had been hiding it until it was revealed." ”

"Yaga!" Okamura Ninji scolded hatefully, and his face collapsed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

If the 10th Division could not resist the offensive of the new regiment, then the locust army of the five divisions could only end up in a situation of losing all the battles in this attack on the base area of the Eighth Route Army in the northwest of Shanxi.

And Ishikawa Jiro actually asked to concentrate the main force of the 10th Division to fight a decisive battle with the new 1st Regiment.

This shows that Tanabe Moritake and Ishikawa Jiro have exhausted their donkey skills, and they really can't think of any way to curb the offensive of the new regiment, and they want to finish the battle.

However, can the 10th Division, which has suffered one-third casualties among the offensive combat units, beat the new regiment of the Eighth Route Army?

Okamura Ninji fell into deep thought.

……

In the town of Dagu.

With Li Yunlong's order, the 1st Battalion of the 1st Cavalry Regiment of the New Regiment completed the assembly on the periphery of Dagu Town.

In the darkness of the night, I saw a soldier of the 1st Cavalry Battalion on every horse.

Each soldier wore a steel helmet on his head, a "Cloud Dragon Knife" on his waist, and behind the soldiers, he carried an M3 submachine gun.

The 1st Cavalry Battalion, with nearly 600 men, replaced the M1 carbines, with the exception of machine gunners, all carrying submachine guns.

Each fighter had a magazine full of submachine gun rounds stuck in his waist.

It's all about firepower.

During the day, every cavalry soldier fired hundreds of training bullets, and although they were sharpening their guns on the spot, they were not happy or light.

The cavalry was lined up in six columns, and the steel helmets flickered in the cold light of the moonlight, and a momentum called slaughter suddenly spread.

Although half of the cavalry battalion went to overseas bases to learn to drive tanks, the remaining half were cavalrymen with rich combat experience.

The cavalry battalion consisted of nearly 600 cavalry, with a total of 6 companies of 100 cavalry each, and the queue was lined up in company units.

Cao Jiang, the commander of the cavalry battalion, rode a sturdy jujube red Oriental horse, at the front of the queue, even though the soldiers couldn't wait, he did not immediately give the order to attack, but looked in the direction of Dagu Town from time to time.

Suddenly, there was a sound of a car motor in the direction of Dagu Town.

Immediately after, a bright light swept from the entrance of the town.

A jeep and a truck pulled out of the town and came to a stop in front of the 1st Cavalry Battalion.

Li Yunlong jumped out of the Willis jeep.

"Salute!" Cao Jiang, the commander of the cavalry battalion, shouted, and nearly 600 people in the cavalry battalion rode on military horses and saluted Li Yunlong with a standard military salute.

The soldiers stared at Li Yunlong with fiery eyes.

Li Yunlong is definitely the soul of the new group.

Li Yunlong's expression was solemn, and he returned a military salute, Battalion Commander Cao shouted a salute, and then the cavalry soldiers quickly put their hands down, and the uniform sound sounded in everyone's ears.

"I'll just say a few words!"

Glancing at all the soldiers, Li Yunlong said loudly:

"Since the formation of our new regiment of cavalry, compared to the infantry of the new regiment, the number of battles of the cavalry unit is not much, but every sortie has achieved brilliant results!"

"This time, the opponent of our 1st Cavalry Battalion is the 10th Cavalry Wing of the 10th Division of the Japanese Army!"

"The devil's cavalry is more than double ours, but we have a submachine gun in our hands, which is prepared for the 10th Wing of the Little Devil Cavalry!"

"Nearly 600 submachine guns, I have never fought such a rich battle in my eight lives, let you meet them."

"With such good equipment, I'll ask you, do you have the confidence to kill the 10th Wing of the Little Devil Cavalry?"

"Yes!"

As soon as the words fell, the neat shouts of the cavalry soldiers rang out.

"That's good!"

Li Yunlong said loudly: "Dignity is only above the blade of the sword, and truth is only within the range of the cannon, tomorrow you will use the submachine gun in your hand to teach the devil cavalry a good lesson, I still say the same thing, meet on a narrow road——"

Speaking of this, Li Yunlong paused.

The victory of the brave in the narrow road is created by Li Yunlong, and the dignity is only above the blade of the sword, and the truth is only within the range of the cannon, which Li Yunlong heard from Boss Chen.

These words were a boost, so Li Yunlong used them to mobilize the soldiers before the war to boost morale.

"The brave wins!"

Immediately afterward, the long howls of the warriors burst into the sky.

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

A burning force surged out from the hearts of the cavalry warriors.

"The 1st Battalion of the New Cavalry!"

"Attack!"

With the order of Battalion Commander Cao, the cavalry turned their horses one after another and rushed to the battlefield.

Li Yunlong stared at the direction in which the soldiers of the 1st Cavalry Battalion had left, his eyes calm.

It wasn't until he could hear the sound of horses' hooves and warriors driving his horses that he withdrew his gaze.

Li Yunlong knew very well that with one submachine gun and sufficient ammunition, it would be no problem for the cavalry battalion to protect itself, but it would be difficult to completely annihilate the 10th Cavalry Wing.

But as long as most of the devil cavalry is defeated or even eliminated, then his strategic purpose will be achieved.
