Anti-Japanese War: Li Yunlong dared to attack Taiyuan

The Chief of General Staff looked at the angry commander, silently picked up the document and began to read it. Then he looked up at Li Yunlong and said, "How are you going to fight?"

"I plan to blow up the Japanese airport first, and then..."

After the army commander and the chief of general staff listened to Li Yunlong's battle plan.

They looked at the map and began to discuss. Finally, they said, "The 120th Division can mobilize three regiments, the 129th Division can mobilize four regiments, and the 115th Division's troops in Mount Wutai can also be mobilized. This gives you a total of 20,000 troops. Is that enough?"

Li Yunlong nodded vigorously and said, "That's enough!"

Li Yunlong originally planned to only borrow another 10,000 people, but now with an extra 10,000 people, Li Yunlong is more confident that he can completely wipe out the Japanese Sixth Division.

Meng County is located on the west side of Taihang Mountain and the south side of Wutai Mountain. It is surrounded by mountains. The east-west Baima Mountain and the north-south Guantouliang divide Meng County into two basins: Yucheng Basin and Xiyan Basin.

Meng County is not big. As long as Li Yunlong places 107 rocket launchers around it, the entire Meng County will be within the coverage range of the 107 rocket launchers.

As long as the Japanese Sixth Division moves in and blocks the east and west exits, the Sixth Division will be trapped.

Li Yunlong's independent column did not have enough troops to complete the encirclement, but now with 20,000 people, Li Yunlong could easily block several gaps. Li Yunlong's independent column was responsible for the general attack and took on the tough challenge of the Japanese Sixth Division.

After obtaining approval from the headquarters, Li Yunlong immediately began to formulate a combat plan. Several staff officers including Zhang Dabiao and Xie Yisheng also began to build a simple Yu County sand table and started war game simulations.

"Such a large-scale troop movement, the Japanese should be aware of it!"

Although the Japanese's living space has been compressed into a few major cities, and even some county towns have been abandoned by the Japanese, there are still many traitors and running dogs working for the Japanese, such as some former presidents of maintenance associations, some gentry and ruffians.

These people were the main targets of the Eighth Route Army, so they just went all the way to the end and followed the devils wholeheartedly.

Although these people are not numerous, they are scattered throughout Shanxi Province, and you cannot completely identify their identities. These people act as the eyes of the devils, observing every move of the Eighth Route Army for them.

"Well, the Japanese will definitely notice something unusual with the movement of more than 20,000 people. After all, there are many traitors and Japanese intelligence personnel watching our base. After the main regiment was mobilized, the Japanese quickly got the news and sent out reconnaissance planes to investigate."

Li Yunlong stood in front of the map, thought for a moment and said, "Then let's give the Japanese a reassurance. Spread the news that I'm getting married. Tell them that I, Li Yunlong, am getting married. At that time, important figures from the Eighth Route Army will be present. These troops are here to strengthen the surrounding security."

Hearing this, Zhang Dabiao and others looked at each other. This method was indeed good. More than 20,000 people moved towards Ping'an County, and finally appeared around Yun County in a surprise attack. By the time the Japanese reacted, the encirclement of Yun County had been completed.

Moreover, the Japanese certainly could not have imagined that Li Yunlong would have such great ambitions that he would actually want to eat up one of his divisions.

"I think it's okay!"

"But Commander, if we do this, it will be very busy here during this period. I guess the Japanese planes will come every day."

Li Yunlong shook his head after hearing this and said, "If the Japanese prince knew that I was getting married, he would definitely not continue to send bombers to bomb us. Instead, he would try to paralyze us, let us relax our vigilance, and then find out where the wedding was held, and finally give us a fatal blow with full confidence!"

Zhang Dabiao and Xie Yisheng looked at Li Yunlong and objected, "We can see through such a simple plan, but the Japanese can't think of it?"

"We are their ancestors when it comes to military tactics. They've only learned the basics. Just wait and see. Once this news gets to the Japs, the bombing here will be over!"

"..."

The battle plan formulated by Li Yunlong, Zhang Dabiao and others was not complicated. Ding Wei's New Second Regiment blew up several bridges and tunnels at Mangshen Mountain on the west side of Meng County, blocking the Japanese army's retreat route to the west and the route that the Japanese reinforcements from Taiyuan must pass through, forcing them to take a detour.

The 771st and 772nd Regiments established defensive positions on the Hongmiao Mountain and Huashan line in the south, cutting off the Sixth Division's route to Yangquan to join the Fourth Division.

The 763rd Regiment, the New 3rd Regiment, and the Independent 2nd Regiment blocked the escape route of the Japanese 6th Division to the east at Wenchang Mountain, Paotailiang and other places east of Yun County.

At the same time, it also blocked the Japanese reinforcements coming from Jingxing area.

The Japanese will use the 115th Division's independent column in Wutai Mountain to block the Japanese in the north and prevent the Japanese from the 6th Division from escaping into Wutai Mountain.

The entire encirclement is not large, with the longest distance between the east, south, west and north being only about twenty kilometers.

Li Yunlong wanted to turn this 20-kilometer area into the burial ground of the Japanese Sixth Division.

As Li Yunlong's battle plan was completed, the news that Li Yunlong was going to get married began to spread. The first place to receive the news was Shancheng. Li Yunlong personally sent a telegram to Shancheng, telling them that he was going to get married. The meaning was very simple: he hoped they could give him some gifts.

If the other party didn't give, Li Yunlong would just have to send an extra telegram. If they gave, even if it was just a gift of one dollar, Li Yunlong would still make a pure profit.

After the mountain city received the news, it was basically equivalent to all organizations, groups, forces, etc. in the country receiving the news.

"Li Yunlong is getting married? Send a telegram personally? Well, send someone to congratulate him and prepare some gifts, no more than a thousand yuan. Then take a look at the photos they took in Datong and see if they can use them."

After Shancheng responded, Yan Laoxi also responded quickly. Compared to Shancheng's gift of one thousand yuan, Yan Laoxi was much more generous: "What does Li Yunlong like? Don't you know? Then send him some wine, some flower buns, and a pair of bracelets. I won't go. Xingru, you go. We must take care of Datong. Whatever Shancheng offers, you can increase the price."

"Yes!"

The Eighth Regiment of the Japanese Fourth Division.

Zhongming Daxiang also received the news that Li Yunlong was getting married: "General Li is getting married? Kodera-kun, please send my two bottles of sake from my collection when you make the deal, and convey my regards to General Li for me."

"Hayi!"

"How's the bullet acquisition going?"

"All the soldiers in our regiment and the 37th Regiment sold us their ammunition. Each person only kept 50 rounds. However, the 61st Regiment sold less. Their commander ordered them to keep 100 rounds."

Hearing this, Zhong Ming Da Xiang couldn't help but snort coldly: "Although Wakayama is also part of our Osaka area, it is a small place after all. People from small places just don't have vision. This kind of money-making opportunity doesn't come across every time. How much more is there?"

"We still need about 200,000 rounds."

"I'll think of a solution!"

"Hayi!"

At the Shaanxi Provincial Headquarters, after the news of Li Yunlong's death reached them, everyone reviewed Yang Xiuqin's profile and said, "She's an excellent female comrade. Li Yunlong is married, so he should have more responsibilities. Let her come to the headquarters for further training in the winter."

"Well, he should have come to learn before, but he always makes mistakes. After all, he's young, so it's normal to make small mistakes. He's corrected it now."

"People always grow. I'm actually quite curious about Li Yunlong. When he comes, I want to meet him and have a chat. I heard he has a lot of ideas. We can all listen to them together."

Here comes the fourth update of 10,000 words. Please help me recommend this book on the Book Famine Square. I looked around for recommended books on the themes of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the Bright Sword, but I didn't see this one. Please help me out. Thank you all in advance! ~

Chapter 239

"General Li Yunlong, below are all the supplies you purchased this time. Except for a few missing, everything is here. This is the list. These two bottles of sake are our Osaka specialties. The commander asked me to convey his best wishes for you and wish you a happy wedding. This is a gold bracelet I bought from a comrade. I wish you a happy wedding."

At Yegou Ridge, Kota Kotera came to Li Yunlong and respectfully handed him the gift and list.

At the foot of the mountain, Zhang Dabiao and his men were counting supplies, including three million rounds of ammunition, various gas masks, some rubber, sugar and other miscellaneous raw materials.

Zhongming Daxiang basically had everything on the list that Li Yunlong made. Except for a few things that he really couldn't get, he got everything he could.

"Please thank Colonel Zhong Ming for me. I've prepared the medals he requested. There are four Order of the Precious Tripod Medals and five Order of the Blue Sky and White Sun Medals. The Order of the Precious Tripod Medals are more expensive, as they are rarely awarded. The Order of the Blue Sky and White Sun Medals are cheaper, as they are awarded more frequently. One Order of the Precious Tripod Medal is five thousand dollars, and one Order of the Blue Sky and White Sun Medal is two thousand dollars. How do you think these are?"

After hearing this, Kotaro Kota smiled and said, "I can't decide on this price. I need to ask the commander, General Li. The commander is also preparing a batch of officer swords. I wonder if General Li Yunlong is interested."

At this point, Kotaro Kota hesitated for a moment before finally whispering, "However, it seems that these samurai swords were all forged privately by the captain. They are not produced by the headquarters, nor were they granted by His Majesty Tianhuang. However, from the appearance, there is no difference."

"I see. It seems you did a good job. He told you this kind of business secret. Did he tell you on his own initiative or did you discover it yourself?"

"Ha Yi, it's General Li who has cultivated her. The commander took the initiative to take me to the arsenal to pick up the goods. I found them. There are ten lieutenant commander's swords in total. He said that he would add different tassels and fringe to these swords according to your needs."

"I see. I pretended not to know about this. Your captain still doesn't trust you. He's testing you. If I knew it was fake, I wouldn't have bought it. I guess you wouldn't be of any use to me. But whether it's real or fake is not important to me.

At this point, Li Yunlong raised his head to look at the sky at a 45-degree angle, shook his sleeves, and put his hands behind his back: "I, Li Yunlong, have a record of killing so many colonels and generals. If I say this knife is real, it is real."

"Ha Yi, General Li is the most capable general I have ever met. The North China Command still doesn't believe that Datong was conquered by you."

"Tell Colonel Zhongming that I want the command sword, but the price he mentioned is too high. A colonel's sword is three thousand dollars, a lieutenant colonel's is one thousand dollars, and a major's is five hundred dollars. I want one colonel's sword, two lieutenant colonel's swords, and seven major's swords. If he's willing to sell them, then sell them. It's just a colonel's sword. I can go to Taiyuan to buy more if I have nothing to do."

"Hayi!" Kodera Yasushi nodded in response, feeling that his value had increased a lot. In the past, the reported price was twenty-five dollars, and the actual transaction price was fifteen dollars. Now it was fifteen dollars plus five hundred, and the five hundred was the price of the command knife.

Kotaro Kota reported the intelligence to Li Yunlong again. After confirming that the 4th and 6th Divisions were about to set out, Li Yunlong stroked his chin and thought for a moment before saying, "Kotaro, can your 4th Division buy ammunition for the 6th Division?"

Kotaro Kota was stunned for a moment, then looked at Li Yunlong in surprise: "Ammunition for the Sixth Division? General Li, didn't you just buy three million rounds of ammunition?"

"We still don't have enough bullets. You know we have a lot of soldiers in the Eighth Route Army. Even if we distribute three million rounds of ammunition, each person only has a few rounds. Since you're going to work with the Sixth Division, you can try to buy their bullets. Of course, I'll pay a little more this time. One dollar for thirteen bullets. How much you can earn is up to you."

After Li Yunlong finished speaking, he patted Kodera Kouta's shoulder. If you want the horse to run, you have to feed it some grass. Although one dollar only makes a profit of two bullets, it is more than the number of bullets. Moreover, this money was originally squeezed out of Kodera Kouta by Li Yunlong, so it is not a loss at all.

After hearing this, Kota Kotera's eyes couldn't help but light up. He felt that he had quickly earned back the ransom he had paid to Li Yunlong. No, it seemed that he had already earned back most of it. If he succeeded this time, he would get all his money back.

"Don't worry, General Li. I have some friends in the Sixth Division. I can give it a try. I think the commander will also be interested."

"Go ahead and buy as many as you can. Don't worry about the money. I'll give you one million bullets first. If it's not enough, send me a telegram and I'll have someone deliver it to you."

Li Yunlong directly threw over a box of heavy yellow croakers, worth about 150,000 yuan, as if he was throwing away scrap iron instead of gold.

Kotaro Kotaro weighed the gold in his hand. This was the first time Li Yunlong had paid first and received the gold later. He looked at Li Yunlong in surprise and said, "General Li, aren't you afraid of me..."

"I'm not like your colonel, constantly testing you. I trust you very much. We have an old saying, 'Don't doubt a man you employ, and don't employ him if you doubt him.' Kodera-kun, I just think you're working too hard, too tired, and it's not pleasant to be caught in the middle. I understand. Don't worry, I'll set you free after a while. You must take care of yourself, so that you have a chance to become the wing commander!"

Listening to Li Yunlong's words, Kotaro Kota excitedly bowed to Li Yunlong and said, "Hayi, thank you for your trust, General. I will definitely complete the mission!"

After Kota Kodera left, Li Yunlong threw the cigarette butt on the ground and looked at Kota Kodera's back.

Absconded with the money? Trust? Could this guy have been manipulated by himself?

I have so much evidence in my hands. You killed two Japanese soldiers with your own hands, I took their photos, and you wrote letters insulting Tianhuang. Where can you run? If you run away, I will expose you. Where will you stay?

As for being free after a while? Three years later, and three more years later, as long as Kotera Yasuta survived, he would return to the Japanese mainland and continue to provide intelligence to Li Yunlong and smuggle supplies to him.

More than an hour later, Zhang Dabiao, sweating all over, lifted the last large box of bullets onto the car and breathlessly reported to Li Yunlong, "Commander, we have three million rounds of ammunition, a thousand shells of various types, five thousand gas masks, two thousand gas-proof clothing, and other supplies. We have completely accounted for them. No problem."

"Send it back to the warehouse. Divide the supplies tonight and send them to other troops before the battle. Since our brother troops are here to help us, we can't be stingy!"

"Yes!"

Li Yunlong's battle plan has been completed. After he personally sent it to the headquarters for review, the headquarters also approved the battle plan, and the various troops began to move towards the vicinity of Ping'an County.

The Japanese also received intelligence about the mobilization of more than 20,000 troops. However, as Li Yunlong expected, Ping'an County was not bombed by the Japanese during this period, and there was a rare period of peace.

Xiuqin and her comrades from the Ping'an County Women's Association were also busy searching for some usable supplies from the ruins. If the owner could be found, they would be returned to the original owner. If the owner could not be found, they would be temporarily placed in the warehouse of the independent column.

In Taihang Mountains, Zhao Gang also received Li Yunlong's telegram.

"Old Li wants us to take the route to Yu County. What do you think?"

Zhao Gang, Xing Zhiguo and others sat together with a map on the ground. Old Zhao pointed at Yu County, and the others also looked towards Yu County.

Yu County is located in a basin, with the roads connecting Wutai Mountain and Taihang Mountain on both sides, forming a natural basin surrounded by mountains on all sides.

After the Sixth Division entered Yu County, it deployed its troops in a line, which was enough to block the army of more than 100,000 people led by Zhao Gang.

"The Japanese reconnaissance planes have been flying around us every day recently. We've probably been discovered. Most of our team is made up of miners and Nationalist soldiers. We can't break up into smaller groups. Our actions will be exposed to the Japanese. Isn't it too risky to go through Yu County? It's better to take a detour through Jingxing."

"This is a basin with no shelter. Although the road is easy to walk on, if the Japanese deploy troops to guard it, it will be difficult for us to pass. Moreover, the roads leading to Taihang Mountains on both sides are a bit long and narrow. It is indeed not suitable for us 100,000 people to walk here."

Several team leaders looked at the map and expressed their opinions.

However, Xing Zhiguo and Zhao Gang were in deep thought. Li Yunlong's telegram asked them to leave here, and mentioned it three times, which obviously had a deep meaning.
