Chapter 966: Great Counterattack!

Not long after Sword and Wolf Fang returned to Taiyuan, the head of the headquarters knew.

After all, if Li Yunlong wants to use the wolf's fang, he must consult the head of the headquarters, and the wolf's tooth is a unit directly under the headquarters.

However, at that time, the head of the headquarters only inquired about the task, and did not ask about the price of the business.

After listening to Li Yunlong's report, the head of the headquarters knew that the goal of the sword and the wolf's teeth this time was to kill the bacteriological unit of the devil, and after reading the information of this unit.

agreed to Li Yunlong's request on the spot.

And the chief also issued an order that this son of bitch must kill Unit 731!

And today, Captain Wolftooth has reported to the chief and returned from the successful completion of the mission.

"Chief, I congratulate you on making a fortune."

The division commander looked at the chief, pushed his glasses, and the expression on his face carried a touch of anticipation.

This time, the division commander came to Taiyuan from the southeast of Shanxi, mainly to report to the chief, but he did not expect to encounter the good thing of the chief's fortune.

This division commander must congratulate a wave of leaders on making a fortune.

Although almost all of Shanxi is now under the control of the Eighth Route Army, and the transportation is convenient.

However, the Eighth Route Army has long been equipped with aircraft, and the leaders travel between the southeast of Shanxi, the northwest of Shanxi, Taiyuan and Yan'an, which is very convenient, and there are fighter escorts and radar monitoring throughout the process.

If an enemy fighter approaches the commanders' planes, they will be alerted in advance, and the fighters of the Eighth Route Army will immediately take to the air to support.

It's safe.

"What a fortune!"

"I'm so poor that I'm almost going to eat."

The chief waved his hand and said, but a smile appeared on his face.

The chief of staff on the side was also smiling, indicating that he was in a very happy mood at this time.

"Chief, don't lie to me, I just heard that Li Yunlong is going to hand over 150 tanks to the headquarters."

"Is this embarrassing to say poor?"

The division commander had an aggrieved expression.

Li Yunlong handed over the tanks to the headquarters, and without these 150 tanks, there were already more than 300.

At present, the headquarters is directly under four tank regiments, each tank regiment has about 60 tanks, one tank division is equipped, and some tanks are equipped with several main brigades such as the 386th Brigade and the 385th Brigade of the 129th Division.

The 115th and 120th divisions were too far apart to be assigned tanks.

However, the two divisions received a lot of shells and artillery, and other weapons, ammunition, and war materials were also obtained.

Today's entire Eighth Route Army is not to say that it is very rich, and its days are at least many times better than in previous years.

After a pause, the division commander said again: "Chief, I don't want much, you give me 50 tanks, and I want to build a tank regiment." ”

The headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, the 129th Division, and the school of Kang Da have all added tank troops to learn how to drive tanks in battle, and many tank soldiers have graduated in more than a year.

As for logistics, the chiefs are not worried.

In the last Zhengtai Campaign, the fuel given by Boss Chen could not be used up by the Eighth Route Army for several years.

As for the spare parts for tank troops, Li Yunlong handed over 80,000 yuan last time, and this time he hit the 9th Division hard, and Li Yunlong handed over another 40,000 yuan.

On the one hand, when Boss Chen gave the tank, he had already given a lot of spare parts.

On the other hand, if the spare parts are not enough, the chief has so much quota in his hand, and he can also use Li Yunlong to exchange parts with Boss Chen.

Of course, the tank also had ample ammunition.

In addition, Boss Chen will also provide some tank mechanics who are responsible for teaching the technicians of the Eighth Route Army to repair tanks.

Although the weapons produced by Boss Chen, including planes and tanks, have a low failure rate, they will still malfunction.

People get sick sometimes, let alone machines?

The logistical aspects are not a big problem, and if there are problems, they can be overcome.

The main problem is that the road conditions are poor, many places cannot be visited, and after the new tanks are in the hands of tank crews, a lot of training is needed to form combat effectiveness.

However, something is thousands of times better than nothing, right?

"This time, I can only give you 30 tanks."

The chief patted the division commander on the shoulder and said:

"The headquarters intends to build a tank brigade."

After giving the division commander 30 tanks, the headquarters still has 120 tanks, a regiment of 60 tanks, and 2 tank regiments are a tank brigade.

"Thank you, Chief."

The division commander looked slightly happy.

Although there were only 30 vehicles, the division commander was also very happy and satisfied.

It's good to have it, but don't you like it?

In the final analysis, these tank brigades at the headquarters will most likely be under the command of him and Li Yunlong in the future?

After all, the chief basically does not personally go to the front-line battlefield and command the tank troops to fight.

Next, the division commander reported to the chief and chief of staff on the situation in the southeast of Jindong and the expansion of the 129th Division.

Today, the situation in the southeast of Shanxi can be said to be thriving.

The southeast of Shanxi Province was originally the base of the Eighth Route Army, and the Eighth Route Army developed there for several years, and the people supported the Eighth Route Army very much.

It turned out that the southeast of Jin was the territory of the Jin Sui army.

Later, after the devil came, the Central Army and the Sichuan Army came to help the Jin Sui Army fight the devils, but seeing that the devils could not be defeated, the Jin Sui Army slipped away directly, and the southeast of Jin fell into the hands of the devils.

The Eighth Route Army advanced into the Taihang Mountains, penetrated deep behind enemy lines, and led the people to continue the war of resistance.

Many times the devils swept away, the Eighth Route Army did not give up on the people, and led the people to break through together.

Get the support of the people in their hearts.

If the national army had been changed, in the face of the sweep of the devils, the people would have been left behind and fled for their lives.

There are even many national troops who can cast devils as traitors on the spot, and then help devils bully the common people together.

After driving away the devils in the southeast of Jin, the southeast of Jin was in full swing to develop agriculture, industry, and arsenals, rectify armaments, and streamline the administration.

Today, the main force of the Eighth Route Army in the southeast of Shanxi has reached 400,000.

The main brigade has been reequipped with five or six types, and its combat effectiveness is extremely strong.

Last time, Li Yunlong handed over half of the heavy artillery, and the 129th Division also received a lot, which can be called a local tyrant army.

Moreover, the 129th Division also got a part of the arsenal, civilian factories and engineers that were killed last time by killing so many devil generals.

Of course, these engineers are only responsible for training, and they don't stay for a long time, and they will be called away by Boss Chen in a few years.

But.

The arsenal in the southeast of Shanxi Province has been further enlarged, and many units have been equipped with equipment produced by the Eighth Route Army Arsenal in the southeast of Shanxi Province.

After listening to the report of the division commander, the expressions of the chief and the chief of staff were very satisfied.

With the addition of the new 1st Regiment, the Independent Regiment, the New 2nd Regiment, as well as the 115th and 120th Divisions, as well as the first-level military regions and second-level military regions, the total strength of the main force of the Eighth Route Army is probably almost 1 million, right?

Add local troops and militias, and that's even more.

You must know that when the Eighth Route Army crossed the Yellow River a few years ago, there were only more than 40,000 people in total.

It's only been a few years, and it's grown dozens of times.

Moreover, the speed of development of the Eighth Route Army is getting faster and faster, especially after Li Yunlong receives assistance, it is not surprising that after a year or two, the Eighth Route Army will have a main force of several million.

"It's been more than 3 months since the Battle of Zhengtai ended, right?"

"Chief, Chief of Staff, when will our troops counterattack North China?"

After the report, the division commander took a sip of water from his teacup and asked expectantly.

Although many new units have been formed, the morale of the troops is very strong, and the commanders and fighters are holding back their strength and are training desperately.

This force was to counterattack North China, completely annihilate the North China Front, and kill the commander of the North China Front, Okamura Ninji.

"It's coming!"

The chief of staff said in the affirmative:

"At present, the staff of the new regiment is already making operational plans."

"Oh?" The division commander's eyes lit up, since the new regiment was already making a battle plan, it was not far from the start of the major counteroffensive.

Moreover, the division commander had already expected that the commander-in-chief of the counterattack in North China would definitely be Li Yunlong again.

Of course.

The division commander also had no intention of competing with Li Yunlong for the commander-in-chief, after all, the greater the victory battle that Li Yunlong commanded the new regiment to fight, the more weapons and ammunition he earned, and the greater the wealth of the Eighth Route Army.

When the time came, the Eighth Route Army in the southeast of Jin Province also followed.

Although the headquarters has not yet announced the commander-in-chief of the counterattack on the Japanese forces in North China, almost all the chiefs know that the commander-in-chief this time is none other than Li Yunlong.

"Recently, the devils have been increasing troops and transferring war materials to North China, how is Li Yunlong going to fight this battle?"

"How can our division cooperate?"

The division commander asked.

The information that Li Yunlong obtained would basically be reported to the headquarters, and the headquarters would basically share the information with several division headquarters.

Therefore, the division commander naturally also knew about the situation of the devil's increase in troops and the transfer of war materials to North China.

As for the heavy damage inflicted on the 9th Division by the air force units of the Eighth Route Army a few days ago, all units also knew about it, and they vigorously publicized it in all units, thus greatly enhancing the morale of the troops and the cohesion of local units.

The headquarters not only sent a clear code telegram to the whole country.

Xinhua Daily, Border District Daily, and other newspapers and media run by the Eighth Route Army also printed news one after another.

Other domestic media have also reprinted it.

The prestige of the Eighth Route Army in the hearts of the common people of the whole country has increased even further.

"In this battle, the Japanese army is mainly the defending side, and we are mainly attacking."

"Li Yunlong intends to focus on two main directions."

"One set out from Datong, attacked along the Pingsui Railway in the direction of Zhangjiakou, and recovered the towns along the way."

"The first set off from Yangquan and Niangzi Pass and attacked in the direction of Shimen City, Baoding and Zhengding."

The chief of staff pointed to the map and introduced it to the division commander.

At present, the general offensive strategy has been decided, and with the approval of the head of the General Headquarters, the staff headquarters of the new regiment is drawing up corresponding operational plans and contingency plans in accordance with the offensive strategy.

The main force of more than 200,000 troops of the New First Regiment, the New Second Regiment, and the Independent Regiment, plus the cooperation of the second-level military regions, almost 300,000 troops attacked and operated.

Formulating an operational plan and contingency plan for such a large-scale corps operation is a big project.

"Li Yunlong is going to use a pincer offensive?"

As soon as the chief of staff said this, the division commander immediately understood Li Yunlong's strategic intentions.

The attacking forces on both sides are the main attackers, advancing at the same time, threatening the devils in the Pingjin area from two directions.

"With the strength of the new 1st Regiment, the 2nd Regiment and the Independent Regiment, coupled with the cooperation of the second-level military regions, it is not a big problem to defeat the North China Front."

"But..."

"Li Yunlong also has to be wary of the devil Kwantung Army, as well as the devils in Central China, once these two devil regiments go south and north."

"Li Yunlong's troops are in danger of being dumplings."

The division commander deserves to be at the level of the god of war, and he can see the shortcomings of this battle plan at a glance.

A campaign in which hundreds of thousands of troops and large corps are fought cannot be fought in three or two days.

And the devils adopted a strategy of dispersing defense this time, which means that the devils of the North China Front Army will most likely not play a strategic decisive battle with the Eighth Route Army.

Then, this battle will be fought for at least a month, and if the offensive does not go well, it is possible to fight for two or three months or even more than half a year.

Once Li Yunlong's troops were dragged down by the devils of the North China Front.

Then the Kwantung Army in Manchuria and the devils in Central China are very likely to encircle Li Yunlong's troops.

At that time, Li Yunlong's troops could only withdraw to Shanxi to rest and reorganize the attack.

"This problem has been considered by the headquarters and Li Yunlong, and you need the cooperation of your division to help Li Yunlong block the devil reinforcements in Central China."

The chief stared at the map and nodded.

"There is no problem with our division."

The division commander immediately said:

"What about the reinforcements of the Kwantung Army of the Japanese Army? Handed over to whom? ”

The chief did not answer, but stared at the map for a while, and said: "South of Beiping is almost a flat North China Plain, which is very suitable for tanks, heavy artillery and other heavy firepower, if the devils of the Kwantung Army dare to come..."

Speaking of this, the chief's expression and eyes have become a little fierce.

The division commander instantly understood that if the devils of the Kwantung Army dared to come, then Li Yunlong would clean up the reinforced devils of the Kwantung Army together.

At that time, the Eighth Route Army had gathered more than 600 tanks, 1,000 heavy artillery pieces of 105 mm caliber or more, hundreds of planes in the sky, and hundreds of thousands of main forces on the ground.

Will the Kwantung Army be able to withstand it?

What does the Kwantung Army take?

If the Kwantung Army is only north of Beiping and does not enter the North China Plain.

It was just after the Eighth Route Army recovered North China, digested the fruits of the capture and business, and after the troops were repaired and expanded, they would go north to clean up the Kwantung Army.

Of course, to achieve this strategic intent.

It is necessary for the commander-in-chief to command wisely, the operational staff to formulate operational plans and emergency plans, countless commanders and fighters of the Eighth Route Army to fight bloody battles, and a large number of civilians to support transportation and logistics supplies.

With the prosperity of the Eighth Route Army now, there is no need for the people to provide food, and even some food can be taken out to help the people.

Next, the commander discussed with the division commander the matter of sending some troops to Central China to develop base areas.

It was laid out in advance for the liberation of Central China after the Eighth Route Army.

……

A new regiment.

Regiment headquarters.

After Li Yunlong hung up the chief's phone, he was also in a very happy mood.

One step closer to the small goal of his dream.

During the battle, the troops under his command attacked and advanced with a torrent of steel composed of dense tanks on the ground, a group of planes roaring in the sky, and a thousand 150-millimeter heavy guns shelled the enemy in depth, killing a large number of the enemy's living forces in just one round of shelling, and the sea was covered with his warships.

Planes, tanks, heavy artillery, and even warships are already there.

But the number is not enough, and for small and medium-sized battles, these heavy equipment are enough.

However, the current equipment for large-scale corps operations and even strategic decisive battles is far from sufficient.

Of course, there are not enough technical arms involved.

However, compared with the bitter days of millet and rifles in the past, the Eighth Route Army is now at the level of a local tyrant.

At that moment, Li Yunlong took out the radio and called Boss Chen in person.

"Boss Li calls Boss Chen, Boss Li calls Boss Chen, please answer when you hear it, please answer when you hear it..."
