Anti-Japanese War: Li Yunlong dared to attack Taiyuan

It hadn't been long before he'd already collected over a dozen medals. In two years, if he wore the Nationalist Army uniform, the medals wouldn't even fit on his clothes and would have to be hung on his pants. But for Li Yunlong, this thing held more commemorative value than practical significance. After all, Shancheng wouldn't give him any more medals in a few years if he wanted them.

After glancing at the medals and confirming that they didn't involve any complicated manufacturing techniques or special materials, Li Yunlong had a rough idea in his mind: "Iron Army, Iron Army!"

Li Yunlong's current orderly, Li Tiejun, poked his head out of the doorway, a book in hand, and said, "Commander."

"Take these medals to Black Cloud Mountain and tell Jia Ji and the others to make a bunch of them for me as soon as possible, one-to-one. They'll be useful. Also, ask him if he's seen the Zhongzheng Sword. If he has, make two for him. Also, take this Gongdao Sword with you, and we'll make two replicas of it together."

"Yes, Commander!"

Li Tiejun is now Li Yunlong's orderly, responsible for some odd jobs. After receiving the task, he immediately put down the book in his hand, hugged the medals and went out.

Meanwhile, inside the Taiyuan City Arsenal, Zhongming Daxiang, dressed in military uniform, entered an office and asked, "Qianye-kun, is the item you requested for your help finished?"

"Your Excellency Colonel Zhongming, you've arrived just in time. It's already been forged, but we can only forge weapons. We don't have the decorations on the back of the weapons, so you'll need to prepare them yourself."

Zhong Ming Daxiang nodded and said, "No problem, thank you for your hard work. This is just a small token of my respect."

As Zhong Ming Da Xiang spoke, he took out the gift money he had prepared and handed it over. The Japanese soldier from the Taiyuan Arsenal took it without any hesitation and said, "Thank you."

Soon, the Japanese soldier named Chiba Arifusa brought Zhongming Daxiang into his office and took out ten identical Japanese officer swords.

The Japanese officer's sword has no difference in material and appearance between a colonel's sword and a major's sword. The difference between a colonel's and a major's sword can be determined by the color of the tassel and the tassel. The tassel of a colonel's sword is brown on the outside and mostly red on the inside. The tassel is mostly red silk, with only a few brown silks.

The outside of the Lieutenant Colonel's sword tassel is brown, the inside is a little red, a small part of the tassel is red silk, and the majority is brown silk.

The Major's sword tassel is brown inside and out, and the tassels are also made of brown silk.

It is difficult to find the difference without careful distinction or someone's introduction, but it is easy to distinguish, because most of the lieutenant's swords have no decorations and are just command swords. The difference between the general's sword and the deputy officer's sword is that the tassel has an M-shaped decorative pattern and the tassel is golden silk.

Looking at the ten lieutenant commander's swords in front of him, Zhong Ming Daxiang checked and found no problems. He then chatted with Qianye Youfang with satisfaction, deepened their relationship, asked about each other's needs, left two packs of Sakura cigarettes, and then let him leave Taiyuan Arsenal with the swords.

At this time, Li Yunlong kicked open Kong Jie's door and said, "Kong Erlangzi, I'm giving you a chance to increase your bounty, will you do it?"

Note 1: The level is too low to match the picture! ~

Chapter 235 Li Yunlong, that's the Sixth Division

"Li Yunlong, what are you doing with your hands? You're kicking a perfectly good door. You don't need to fix it, right?"

"Why do you still have both hands? You can't even knock on the door. Just chop them off!"

Kong Jie was putting on his clothes in a panic, cursing at Li Yunlong while doing so.

Li Yunlong took a curious look at Kong Jie and found that Kong Jie had some injuries on his body and seemed to be applying medicine. He couldn't help but ask curiously: "Kong Erlangzi, how did you get hurt?"

The reason why Kong Jie was so excited was that he didn't want Li Yunlong to see the injuries on his body. Kong Jie felt a little embarrassed. He couldn't tell Li Yunlong that he was a little excited when he saw so many supplies and injured himself without paying attention when moving things.

"Forget it, you're injured. I'll find someone else to do this."

Seeing Li Yunlong about to leave, Kong Jie quickly grabbed Li Yunlong and said, "Now that we're here, don't talk halfway. What's the method for increasing the bounty? Are you going to fight the Japanese?"

Kong Jie's current bounty is two thousand oceans, which is one-fifth for Kong Jie, one-hundred-and-fiftieth for Li Yunlong, and one-twenty-fifth for Ping An and Datong.

Ever since being teased by Li Yunlong and Ding Wei, Kong Jie has been thinking about how to increase his bounty. After all, they are from the same class and everyone has made progress, so he cannot stand still.

But after racking his brains, the best he could think of was to attack more artillery towers, dig up the Japanese railway tracks, and blow up trains. Kong Jie couldn't do other things like attacking the county town or capturing the Japanese commander.

However, when it comes to things like destroying artillery towers and digging railroad tracks, you can't just write a note saying Kong Jie from the Independent Regiment was there after the battle. That would be inefficient, so there has never been a good solution.

"Taiyuan!"

Hearing Li Yunlong's words, Kong Jie's eyes widened: "Li Yunlong, are you crazy? The Japanese 4th and 6th Divisions are all around Taiyuan, and the 14th and 20th Divisions are almost done resting. You want to attack Taiyuan?"

Seeing Kong Jie's anxious look, Li Yunlong rolled his eyes and said, "Kong Erlangzi, I know you are anxious and jumping up and down, but can you please not be so anxious and jump up and down? I am talking about Taiyuan Airport."

"Taiyuan Airport?"

After hearing this, Kong Jie walked to the front of the map and said, "The Japanese have quite a few troops at the airport, at least one infantry battalion, and they're right next to Taiyuan City. As soon as the gunfire starts, the Japanese reinforcements will arrive immediately. It's no different from attacking Taiyuan."

Li Yunlong sneered and said, "Who told you to just storm? I've told you countless times that fighting requires brains. You're just too rigid in your approach. This time, let's use rockets to bomb the airport!"

"rocket missile?"

Kong Jie thought for a moment and said, "The range isn't enough. Even if we were to get to the airport with a hundred rockets and fire them all at once, the range would only be a hundred or two hundred meters. We wouldn't cause much damage, and it would also easily kill the rocket launcher operators we've worked so hard to train."

"Open your mind, who said it was a bazooka? Our Black Cloud Mountain Arsenal is not just for show. We have a new weapon, the 107mm rocket, with a range of eight kilometers. One rocket has the same power as a 105mm heavy artillery, and one shell weighs about twenty kilograms. The launcher can be disassembled and taken away, or you don't need it!"

Hearing this, Kong Jie's eyes lit up immediately. He looked at Li Yunlong excitedly and asked, "Really?"

"Of course it's true. When have I ever lied to you?"

Kong Jie was fooled by Li Yunlong many times, but Li Yunlong never fooled Kong Jie about military matters.

So after listening to Li Yunlong's words, Kong Jie paced back and forth, thinking, then walked to the map and found the location of Taiyuan Airport. He said, "The last time I went shopping outside Taiyuan, I remember there was a small hill four kilometers outside the airport, with an altitude of only a hundred meters. We can bomb the airport from here. As long as we have the airport defense map, we can blow up the Japanese barracks and kill a lot of them."

Listening to Kong Jie's words, Li Yunlong's eyes almost rolled up to the sky: "Kong Erlunzi, I say you are an idiot and you really are an idiot. You have already bombed the airport, why are you bombing the Japanese? The airport's runway, fuel depot, hangar, ammunition depot, and planes are all more valuable than the Japanese!"

Kong Jie looked up at Li Yunlong, a little confused. Kong Jie had never been in contact with an airplane, but had only seen the Japanese wreaking havoc overhead. He had no idea what the important facilities at the airport were. This was similar to the behavior of some soldiers after our army occupied the airport. They didn't know what these places were used for.

There was no way around it because the country was too poor. Many soldiers had never seen a car before they saw the Japanese tanks. They were scared when they saw the tanks, let alone airplanes and airports.

"Do you have a defense map?"

"Have!"

After hearing this, Kong Jie's eyes lit up and he immediately threw Li Yunlong's mocking words out of his mind. It didn't matter if he was scolded a few times, he was just a fool. After coming to the independent column, Kong Jie's life has become much more comfortable.

In the past, I had to worry about food, drink, and supplies for the soldiers of the independent regiment every day. I tried to dig a little here and move a little there, but it was still not enough. I dreamed about how to get more weapons and equipment.

The independent regiment is different now. If they need anything, they can just go to the logistics department of the independent column and ask for it. There is no shortage of ammunition. A soldier of the independent regiment has 100 rounds of bullets, which was unimaginable before. There is no shortage of food either.

In addition, there are rocket launchers, mortars, Type 92 infantry guns, light and heavy machine guns, and even canned beef and canned fruit are provided to some soldiers undergoing high-intensity training.

What kind of life did the independent regiment live in the past, and what kind of life does the independent regiment live now.

Kong Jie even wanted to slap himself twice. Why was he so stubborn before? If he had followed Li Yunlong earlier, he wouldn't have so many white hairs.

However, Kong Jie soon had new doubts. He looked at Li Yunlong and said, "Old Li, the Japanese bombed the airport and they don't know it was me, Kong Jie, who did it. How can we increase the bounty?"

"If you still don't believe me, why don't you write your name on the rocket, or leave a message at the bombardment site saying you, Kong Jie, were here?"

After hearing this, Kong Jie slapped his forehead and said, "Yeah, why didn't I think of that? Li Yunlong, you're really a genius. The commander's vision is right. You're a genius. I'm convinced. I, Kong Jie, am convinced. You really have a lot of clever ideas!"

After Kong Jie finished speaking, he began to laugh, then paced back and forth and asked, "When do we leave?"

"Wait a little longer. Lao Zhao and his troops haven't left Mount Wutai yet. They're only halfway there. Our rocket launchers also need some time to produce. We need to be fully prepared!"

Li Yunlong's original plan was to bomb the airport directly so that the Japanese planes would not disturb him when he got married. After all, the Japanese planes had come to Ping'an County in the past two days and bombed it twice.

Now Li Yunlong felt that he was also a dog. He did not hear the air defense alarm and did not see the Japanese bombers coming. He felt a little uncomfortable all over. Only after they arrived did he walk out of the underground bunker refreshed and go out to take charge of the work.

"I'm going to bomb the airport. What are you going to do?"

"I'm ready!"

Li Yunlong set his sights on Yu County on the map: "I plan to wipe out the devil's Sixth Division. Even if I can't eat it up, I will at least cripple it!"

"Goo!"

Kong Jie swallowed involuntarily: "Li Yunlong, you don't have a fever, right? The Sixth Division? The Japanese Type A Division? You want to eat up the Japanese Sixth Division?"

"What? What's the difference between the devils of the Sixth Division and other devils? Are they invincible or do they have super powers? You don't believe I can wipe out the devil's Sixth Division?"

Kong Jie nodded, of course he didn't believe it.

The Sixth Division was considered to be relatively strong among the Japanese Type A divisions. Although the Thirteenth Regiment was wiped out by Li Yunlong, there were still the Twenty-third Regiment, the Forty-fifth Regiment, the Forty-seventh Regiment, the Sixth Cavalry Regiment, the Sixth Field Artillery Regiment, the Sixth Engineer Regiment, the Sixth Logistics Regiment and some other troops totaling more than 23,000 people.

Li Yunlong wants to eat such a huge monster in one bite?

"Old Li, this is a Japanese division, not a regiment. You have to think carefully. If something goes wrong, all the wealth you have worked so hard to accumulate will be lost."

Li Yunlong was not joking this time, but said seriously: "No matter what, I will try. Even if I can't eat it, I will cripple this Sixth Division and destroy it. I will never let this Sixth Division go!"

Kong Jie was somewhat surprised that Li Yunlong's attitude was so firm, and he couldn't understand why Li Yunlong insisted on fighting to the death with the Sixth Division.

Chapter 236: Give You a Number After This Battle

Li Yunlong's decision to attack the Sixth Division was somewhat hasty. He only began to consider it after Kota Kotera reported to Li Yunlong that the Sixth Division would be stationed in Yu County.

However, within less than an hour, Li Yunlong already had a rough plan in his mind, but this plan still needed to be improved.

But Li Yunlong had made up his mind not to miss this opportunity.

Perhaps this is Li Yunlong's only chance to destroy the Sixth Division, and he must try it no matter what.

The Sixth Division was indeed the elite among the elite of the Japanese army. Li Yunlong knew that it would be very difficult to wipe out the entire Sixth Division.

But Li Yunlong really doesn't have many opportunities left. The Sixth Division will be transferred to the Pacific battlefield next year. Before being transferred to the Pacific battlefield, the Sixth Division will be stationed around Taiyuan.

Before the Battle of Zhongtiao Mountain, he was stationed in Taiyuan. When the Battle of Zhongtiao Mountain broke out, he acted together with the Japanese army, and Li Yunlong never had the chance to take action.

This time, the Sixth Division was transferred to Meng County to intercept Zhao Gang and others. It seemed that they were not alone, as there was a Fourth Division on the flank.

However, it is also very simple to make the Sixth Division isolated. Just spend some money to let the Fourth Division slack off. After all, they often rush to the battlefield after the battle to act as an atmosphere group. Sometimes they don’t even rush to the battlefield after the battle, such as Nomonhan.

As long as the Fourth Division performs normally, the Sixth Division will be the only isolated force left around Meng County.

After Kong Jie blew up the airport, the Japanese lost their most proud air advantage. Although they could take off bombers from Sijiucheng for support, it took time to go back and forth, and they could not stay in the air for a long time or make multiple round trips for support. It was far less frequent and convenient than Taiyuan Airport.

Li Yunlong was not determined to fight the Sixth Division to the death, and retreated before the Japanese reinforcements arrived. Li Yunlong's battle plan was to fight for an afternoon and a night, bringing all the weapons he could use and destroying the Sixth Division as much as possible.

It is unlikely to completely destroy them, after all, the combat effectiveness of the Japanese elite is not low, but it is not a big problem to cripple them. If there is a chance to completely destroy them, Li Yunlong will not miss this opportunity.

Before receiving the information from Kota Kotera, Li Yunlong had only prepared 160 rockets to bomb Taiyuan Airport.

Li Yunlong postponed the plan to bomb the airport for a few days and prepared more 107 rockets. The Heiyunshan Arsenal was fully producing 107 rockets, which was a surprise prepared for the Sixth Division.

As long as we can kill the Sixth Division's field artillery regiment at the beginning of the war, destroy their heavy weapons, and then take advantage of night combat and equipment, it should be possible to defeat the Sixth Division in an afternoon and a night.

In this battle, Li Yunlong does not need any survivors. As long as the Japanese have entered Jinling City, Li Yunlong will not let any of them go, any of them!

"You're the commander, and you have the final say. I'm just responsible for execution. But I don't know how to operate this 107 rocket launcher..."

"I'll send someone to guide you. Don't worry, it's very simple. You can probably knock it out with just a kick."

Hearing Li Yunlong's words, Kong Jie breathed a sigh of relief. After thinking for a moment, he said, "If I bomb the airport, my bounty will probably be comparable to Ding Wei's, right?"

"Be bolder. From now on, Ding Wei will be the unit of measurement. You, Kong Jie, can also say that Ding Wei is a fraction of you."

After hearing this, Kong Jie smiled and began to think about how to inadvertently say that one Kong Jie is equal to how many Ding Weis.

"Tell the comrades of the independent regiment to prepare for this battle. Fight well!"

"Yes!"
