Anti-Japanese War: Li Yunlong dared to attack Taiyuan

A rocket launcher hit the Datong city wall, followed by the second and third rocket launchers, and the rocket shells fell on the city wall like hail.

The explosion power of the 88mm rocket launcher was not very strong, but the puppet troops were standing densely on the city wall, and they fell down in an instant.

Immediately afterwards, a huge explosion sounded, and a 107mm rocket directly hit the parapet. The huge power of the 107mm gun directly blew up the parapet, and all the puppet soldiers and devils hiding in this area were killed.

Then the second, third, and fourth shots followed, and one after another, the 107mm cannons fell, taking away the puppet troops in an area and destroying a section of the parapet.

After the explosion, the Datong city wall was in ruins. The tower above the city gate had collapsed, and the wailing of the puppet soldiers on the wall could be heard from afar.

At this time, under the west gate wall of Datong, seven soldiers wearing Japanese military uniforms and holding weapons had already reached the stairs of the wall.

At the same time, Li Yunlong also rushed to the mine and came to Zhang Dabiao's temporary command center. The scene he saw made Li Yunlong squeeze the iron sheet of the telescope in his hand until it was slightly deformed.

After the Japanese and puppet troops in the mine drove a large number of miners into the mine, they were setting up explosives to blow up the mine and bury the miners alive. In front of the attacking force, the Japanese captured two thousand miners and used them to block the advance of the independent column.

Further behind were ten Japanese tanks and a dozen machine gun positions, their guns aimed at the two thousand miners in front of them.

A Japanese officer was standing on a high place, shouting.

"Damn little Japs!"

"..."

Chapter 190 I, Li Yunlong, am here to talk to you

"Who are you? I'm Ichiro Tomimoto, the commander of the Mining Empire soldiers. Tell your commander to come out and see me. Otherwise, there are over 60,000 miners in the mine behind me, and I want them buried with me!"

"I repeat, I want to see your commander. Send your commander here immediately, or I will blow up the mine behind me and bury them with me!"

"..."

After Milong and others entered the mine, they saw that the attacking teams in front had all stopped their attacks. Looking over, they saw a group of miners not far away tied together with ropes, standing together with horror on their faces, trembling all over.

Behind them they could see the turrets of the Japanese tanks and some machine gun positions. The muzzles of their guns were not pointed at the attacking independent column soldiers, but at the tied-up miners in front of these soldiers.

Further back, you can see a Japanese officer holding a command knife on a high place, shouting through a large loudspeaker. There is an interpreter beside him who translates his words to the attacking soldiers.

"Tomimoto Ichiro, I'll fuck your ancestors! If you're brave enough, come out and fight me with real weapons. I'll fight you with bayonets. Don't use the miners as a shield. What kind of soldier are you?"

The first person to arrive at the mine was the artillery battalion commander Wang Chengzhu. Zhuzi jumped up and pointed at the nose of a Japanese soldier not far away and started cursing.

"Commander from the opposite side, it's clearly written in your military manuals: All is fair in war. I see you're not the commander of this army. I won't waste time talking to you. Send your commander here immediately, or I'm going to start killing people!"

Looking at Ichiro Tomimoto's arrogant look, everyone hated him to the core, but there was nothing they could do. There were more than 2,000 miners in front of them, and tens of thousands of miners in the mine behind them. Although they didn't know whether what the Japanese said was true or false.

But no one dared to take the gamble, as tens of thousands of lives were at stake.

When the Japanese get crazy, they can do anything. These people are just beasts in human skin.

"Sergeant, let me finish him off!"

On the top of the mountain, Shunzi couldn't help but look at Zhang Kuixi with his gun. Although Zhang Kuixi is now the captain of the third detachment, the soldiers under Zhang Kuixi still call him squad leader.

"Don't be impulsive. If you kill one devil, tens of thousands of people will die. The commander sent us up here for a purpose!"

Zhang Kuixi knew that the order to climb to the commanding heights was from Li Yunlong, so he was very calm and observed the surrounding terrain.

"Shunzi, do you see that Japanese soldier standing next to the detonator over there? That's your target. When I shoot, you have to kill him together. Remember, you must kill him!"

After Shunzi calmed down, he looked in the direction of Zhang Kuixi's finger and nodded vigorously, "Yes!"

"Be careful to hide, don't let the devil find you!"

After Zhang Kuixi finished speaking, he sent four soldiers with outstanding marksmanship to follow Shunzi, and then shoot together to ensure that the Japanese guarding the detonator would be killed directly.

"Zhang Qiang!"

"Xizi."

Zhang Qiang is short and has a scar on his face. He and Xizi are from the same hometown. After Xizi joined the army, Xizi taught him how to shoot. After Xizi followed Li Yunlong, Xizi mentioned it twice. Li Yunlong used the 33 Infantry System and Infantry Drill Manual to trick Kong Jie into giving them... (Chapter 29)

"Do you see the Japanese soldier in front of the second mine? He's the one with the national flag hanging from the muzzle of his gun and a detonator next to him. Do you see him?"

Zhang Qiang took a look and nodded, "I see!"

"Find a suitable position and bring your squad. After I fire, kill him immediately. Don't let anyone get close to the detonator. Remember?"

"remember!"

"Be careful!"

"Yes!"

"He Yuanshan!"

"Detachment leader!"

A slightly immature boy came to Zhang Kuixi's side. Zhang Kuixi looked at He Yuanshan and pointed at the Japanese soldier guarding the detonator in front of the third mine.

"Did the devil see it?"

He Yuanshan nodded without saying anything, waiting for Zhang Kuixi's order.

"Take a few men and kill him. I know you're a good shot and have a quick mind, but this is an order. There must be no mistakes. You just saw how many miners were in the mine. Remember that?"

He Yuanshan nodded: "Yes!"

Zhang Kuixi methodically arranged his sharpshooters to snipe at the Japanese soldiers. The main target was the Japanese soldier who was in charge of guarding the detonator, and more of them were aimed at the Japanese machine gunners and others. All the people in the sharpshooter company were assigned tasks and were waiting for the order to shoot.

At this time, Li Yunlong finally arrived at the mine. Zhang Dabiao immediately said, "Commander, let me go. I am in charge of the attack here. I will talk to the devils!"

Li Yunlong waved his hands, suppressing his anger and said calmly: "I'll do it, you all just follow and watch. How to deal with this kind of thing? In the future, when we attack the Japanese cities, we might encounter the Japanese using civilians to block their guns. These beasts are capable of anything!"

Zhang Dabiao grabbed Li Yunlong and said, "Commander, let me do this. You can't take the blame. More than 20,000 of us comrades are following you. You can't let anything happen to you!"

Zhang Dabiao was so anxious that he was about to cry. If this matter was not handled properly, Li Yunlong would be blamed.

"Then I can't let my subordinates take the blame for me! How can I lead the troops in the future! Zhang Dabiao, get out of here!"

Li Yunlong directly shook off Zhang Dabiao's hand, and at this time Zhao Gang also rushed over.

"Old Li, you can't go on this matter. Let me do it. I'm in the political work department. Let me handle this matter!"

Zhao Gang jumped off his horse and spoke before he even touched the ground.

"Old Zhao, get out of the way. You can't handle this. The Japs are crazy and won't listen to reason. I've said before, I listen to you in life. When the gunfire rings, I have the final say."

At this time, Zhang Kuixi's voice came from the walkie-talkie: "Report to the command center, the sharpshooter company is in place and ready to fire at any time!"

After hearing this, Li Yunlong felt more than half settled.

Then he looked at Zhang Dabiao and said, "Immediately order the troops to send people to the miners in front and tell them to lie down immediately after hearing the word 'lie down'. I will save as many as I can, but we must not let the Japs lead us by the nose. Otherwise, if they find out this trick works, they will find a way to deal with us, and more innocent people will suffer! We must not let any of the Japs and puppet soldiers here go free!"

After finishing speaking, Li Yunlong took over a loud speaker and said to Tomimoto Ichiro in the distance: "Tomimoto Ichiro, I am Li Yunlong, the commander of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Independent Column. You must have heard of my name, you son of a bitch. Tell me, how do you want to talk?"

In Li Yunlong's eyes, Ichiro Tomimoto was already a dead man. The look in his eyes when he looked at Ichiro Tomimoto was very calm, as if he wanted to cut Ichiro Tomimoto into pieces and then throw him into the frying pan.

"So it's General Li Yunlong. I've heard of your name for a long time. I didn't expect it was your troops attacking my mine. What a surprise!"

"I'm still wondering which unit of the Eighth Route Army was so brave and defeated by the famous General Li..."

"Don't give me compliments, my reputation is earned by killing you guys, but I feel disgusted when you praise me. I have nothing to discuss with a coward like you who only knows how to hide behind innocent people. Just tell me your conditions!"

After hearing this, Tomimoto Ichiro immediately laughed: "General Li Yunlong, my conditions are very simple. I have these soldiers and we all want to survive. I want your troops to withdraw from the mine immediately!"

"Don't even think about it. I'm going to tell you my terms. I can let you live and let you leave the mine, but if you want me to retreat, don't dream on!"

Chapter 191 Get Down, Everyone Get Down

After hearing this, Tomimoto Ichiro smiled and said, "General Li Yunlong, you may not understand the current situation. I have tens of thousands of miners under my command. They are all in the mine behind me. As long as I give the order, someone will detonate the explosives!"

"Do you know the consequences of detonating explosives? These mines will collapse instantly, and none of the miners inside will survive!"

"Do you want to see tens of thousands of people die in front of you? You are such a cold-blooded general! No wonder there's an old Chinese saying that goes, 'One general's success is built on the sacrifices of thousands of soldiers!'"

"It's impossible to withdraw. I can let you and these puppet soldiers leave!" Li Yunlong spoke again.

"I'm not negotiating with you, I'm informing you!" Tomimoto Ichiro said with a sinister smile, "I have tens of thousands of miners under my command. What can you offer me?"

Upon hearing this, Li Yunlong immediately pretended to jump up and down, "Don't you guys advocate the spirit of the samurai? If you're brave enough, fight me with real swords and guns. Using miners to threaten me, is this what you call the spirit of the samurai?"

When Tomimoto Ichiro heard Li Yunlong's words, a look of sarcasm appeared on his face. He said, "Bushido? I wonder if General Li Yunlong knows that there is an old saying in your China, 'He who knows the times is a hero.' I say it again. I am not negotiating with you now, but giving you an order. I will give you time to think, but my patience is limited. If you don't retreat, I will fight to the death!"

At this time, dozens of soldiers lay on the ground and crawled from the stone-covered ground to the side of a group of miners in front.

These numb miners listened to the conversation between Li Yunlong and the Japanese translator. Most of them did not show any emotional fluctuations, but some of them looked at the Eighth Route Army from time to time, then lowered their heads, as if struggling with something.

"Everyone, listen to my command. When I say get down, get down together. Don't worry, we will definitely get you out!"

An instructor lay on the ground and kept communicating with the miners, while also secretly using a bayonet to untie the ropes on some miners.

"Everyone, when you hear the shout, get down together, get down. Do you hear me?"

"Make way, make way, listen to me, when I tell you to lie down, lie down together, don't be afraid, the Japs are at the end of their rope, they will be wiped out soon, listen to my command and lie down together, we will definitely rescue you."

Finally, some miners slowly spoke up: "Everyone listen to the Eighth Route Army and lie down together later."

"Everyone, don't panic, don't get confused, listen to the Eighth Route Army!"

After someone among the miners took the lead, the numb expressions of these miners eased somewhat and many people began to move.

However, Ichiro Tomimoto saw all of this, but he did not care, because in his eyes, these two thousand miners were just tools for negotiations, and the real bargaining chips were the tens of thousands of miners in the mine behind him.

"Commander Li, some of your men seem disobedient. It seems you're still not giving up and think I'm trying to scare you!"

Ichiro Tomimoto's expression became extremely ferocious, as if he would give the order to blow up the mine at any time, taking the lives of tens of thousands of people.

"I promised you I'd retreat, but how the hell are you going to let them go?"

After seeing this scene, Li Yunlong looked at the time and prepared to delay for a while, but it shouldn't take long, as the Japanese soldier's patience was almost exhausted.

"Commander Li, it seems you are quite sensible. I hope you will continue to maintain this attitude. I will not release anyone until the mine is safe. Now, have your troops continue to retreat!"

Li Yunlong looked at Wang Chengzhu and said, "Zhuzi, get your artillery battalion to withdraw first and buy some time!"

Wang Chengzhu glanced at Tomimoto Ichiro in the distance unwillingly and said, "Captain, give me a mortar and one shell, and I'll kill him!"

Zhuzi even called out the regiment commander, hoping that Li Yunlong would agree with his method.
