Anti-Japanese War: Li Yunlong dared to attack Taiyuan

Thinking of this, the Japanese soldier quickly walked to Prince Higashikuni Naruhiko, took a look at the Japanese prince wearing a gas mask, and could not confirm whether Prince Higashikuni Naruhiko was still alive.

The arm was rotten and the face was covered. The Japanese soldier thought for a while, gritted his teeth, took off Prince Asaka Naruhiko's gas mask and took a look. He found that His Royal Highness the Prince was still shouting unconsciously.

After confirming that His Royal Highness the Prince was still alive, the Japanese soldier put the gas mask back on the Prince. However, the Japanese prince inhaled a lot of poison gas when he took it off and put it on again. This place was next to the ammunition depot, where the poison gas was the most concentrated.

This Japanese soldier carried Prince Higashikuni Naruhiko on his back. At this time, Prince Higashikuni Naruhiko's hands were covered with blisters and pus, which looked very disgusting. The same was true on his body.

But now this Japanese soldier no longer cared about the disgust. As long as he could carry the prince out, it would be a great achievement.

Originally, Prince Higashikuni Naruhiko was lying on the ground waiting to die. His consciousness was already blurred and he could die slowly and painlessly, but he was suddenly moved, and the blisters and festering areas were involved. The immense pain made him wake up instantly.

"what!"

"what……"

"pain……"

Soon, several more Japanese soldiers found this place. After discovering that the Japanese soldier was carrying the prince on his back, several people gathered around and worked together to carry the Japanese prince out of the airport.

"Your Highness, hold on, you will be safe soon!"

Natsuki Sora, who saved the Guizi Prince, also kept cheering Prince Higashikuni Naruhiko up.

The devil prince, who had just woken up from the pain, felt as if his body was being eaten by ants and was in great pain all over.

In addition, I felt like my trachea and throat were burning, and I wished I could die immediately.

But now he had no strength to move, not even to speak. He could only endure tremendous pain while being carried out of the airport by several Japanese soldiers.

Prince Higashikuni Naruhiko now wished he could kill the Japanese soldiers who were carrying him. It hurt so much.

"Your Excellency, the Division Commander, we have found His Royal Highness the Prince!"

Several Japanese soldiers carried Prince Higashikuni Naruhiko out of the airport and placed him next to Ichiro Nanata.

Looking at the bloody and pus-stained prince in front of him, Nanata Ichiro instinctively took a step back and looked at the person beside him in shock and said, "Is this His Royal Highness the Prince?"

"Hayi!"

Xia Mukong also immediately took off his gas mask, revealing the face of Prince Higashikuni Naruhiko. Originally, because of the protection of the gas mask, there was no problem with the part above the neck of the prince.

But because Xia Mukong had taken it off once before, his face started to fester and blisters appeared.

"Send to the hospital for treatment immediately!"

"Hayi!"

Several Japanese doctors hurriedly carried Prince Higashikuni Naruhiko into the car and rushed towards Taiyuan.

"Baga, who is it? Who attacked the airport?!"

Ichiro Nanata looked at the airport and didn't know what to do for a moment. His Royal Highness the Prince was seriously injured. Now he is the supreme commander of Taiyuan. Such a big thing has happened and he must report it to his superiors, but now he doesn't even know how to report the attackers?

"Immediately send a telegram to the Sixth, Fourth, and Fourteenth Divisions. His Royal Highness has been found, but he is seriously injured!"

"Hayi!"

"Report, the attacker's identity has been confirmed!"

"found it?"

After hearing this, Ichiro Nanada reached out and grabbed the signalman as if he had found a life-saving straw.

"Report, no one was captured. This is a telegram from the Watanabe Battalion. They found traces of the Eighth Route Army on a hill outside the airport."

"Eighth Route Army? What did they leave behind?"

"Kong Jie of the Jin-Cha-Ji Independent Column bombed the airport in commemoration."

When he heard the words "Jin-Cha-Ji Independent Column", Nanada Ichiro couldn't help but get angry: "Damn it, this Independent Column again, this Li Yunlong again, who is this Kong Jie?"

"do not know!"

A group of Japanese officers shook their heads. "Kong Jie? Never heard of him."

And at this time.

Another signalman rushed to Nanada Ichiro's side: "Report, telegram from the Sixth Division."

"Sixth Division?"

"Ha Yi, the Sixth Division was attacked by the main force of the Chinese army, and the field artillery regiment was attacked by the heavy artillery of the Chinese army. Almost all of them were destroyed. Requesting tactical guidance!"

After hearing this, Ichiro Nanada couldn't help but feel confused. He was just a division commander, not a commander, and had no idea why Prince Asaka Naruhiko sent the 4th Division and the 6th Division to Yu County and Yangquan.

"Send a telegram to the North China Expeditionary Force Headquarters to report the current situation!"

"Hayi!"

"Send a telegram to the Sixth Division, asking them to send a telegram to the North China Expeditionary Force Headquarters requesting assistance. Also, have them send a copy of the battle plan!"

"Hayi!"

After thinking for a moment, Nanada Ichiro took a deep breath and said, "Send a telegram to the Fourth Division to support the Sixth Division immediately!"

"Hayi!"

……

4th Division, 8th Regiment.

Zhong Ming Daxiang, who had just completed a transaction and handed over nearly two million bullets to Li Yunlong's subordinate, was now singing an Osaka tune as he slowly returned to the command center.

"Report, division telegram!"

"Telegram? Any new orders?"

"What? The division commander ordered our troops to immediately march to Yu County to support the Sixth Division."

Chapter 251 North China Expeditionary Force in Action

North China Expeditionary Army Headquarters.

Commander Toshi Tada and Chief of Staff Moritake Tanabe were chatting.

Tada Shun was in a good mood. His term of office would soon expire, and he would be able to return to the headquarters in less than ten days. The person who would succeed him as commander of the North China Expeditionary Army was Ningji Okamura.

"I heard that Li Yunlong of the Eighth Route Army's Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Independent Column got married today?"

Tanabe Moritake said with a smile while drinking tea.

Tada Shun shook his teacup and said, "I know that His Royal Highness has sent a battle plan called the Fox Extermination Plan. Li Yunlong has a nickname called the Fox of China. This operation has a good name. If we can eliminate this Li Yunlong, I will have no regrets during my term of office."

"I've reviewed the battle plan. If it succeeds, the empire will have one less major concern. The Eighth Route Army has grown so rapidly in recent years, something I didn't anticipate. Furthermore, Li Yunlong's capture of Datong has put our North China Expeditionary Force garrisons in various cities in a state of fear. This is a real thorn in our side."

It was an unspoken secret among the Japanese that Li Yunlong had captured Datong. It was also because of this result that Li Yunlong's Jin-Cha-Ji Independent Column became a thorn in the hearts of the Japanese.

As long as they are not eliminated, the Japanese soldiers of the North China Expeditionary Force will be unable to sleep or eat, and will feel like they are sitting on pins and needles.

After all, Li Yunlong's troops could appear within a 300-kilometer radius around Taihang Mountains at any time and launch an attack on a city where a regiment was stationed.

Now the Japanese in Shanxi Province have begun to withdraw their troops. Except for a few large cities such as Taiyuan and Changzhi, some other remote counties have voluntarily given up. A regiment cannot defend an important town, let alone a small county with only one battalion or even a squadron stationed there?

The densely packed artillery towers and bunkers were also removed, making the Japanese in Shanxi Province blind and deaf.

One of the main purposes of the Japanese launching the Battle of Zhongtiao Mountain was to release the three main divisions of the First Army. Two Type A divisions and one Type B division were left behind in the rear. This was a huge waste of resources for the Japanese, whose troops were already stretched thin.

However, the Japanese never expected that the battle of Zhongtiao Mountain was over and they won a great victory. However, the troops of the three divisions in Shanxi Province were not only not liberated, but the situation was even gradually out of control.

If the situation before the Battle of Zhongtiao Mountain is to be maintained, the North China Expeditionary Force has calculated that at least two divisions of troops must be mobilized into Shanxi Province. However, the Japanese currently have no more troops to be transferred there unless the Kwantung Army is willing to send troops. However, the Kwantung Army only obeys orders and not announcements, and even if they want to replace the headquarters of Umezu Umejiro, they cannot do it.

The most important point is that Li Yunlong's troops are very flexible. They can operate not only in Taihang Mountains, but also in Wutai Mountains, northern Hebei and other areas. If the defenses of all these areas are strengthened, at least ten divisions will be needed.

So this time when Prince Asaka Naruhiko implemented the fox extermination plan, the North China Expeditionary Force Command immediately provided a lot of support, including new types of poison gas bombs.

"Whether this operation succeeds or fails, it doesn't matter to me anymore. I'm going back to my homeland soon."

Tada Shun smiled and said that if the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Independent Column was successfully eliminated, the credit would go to Prince Higashikuni Naruhiko and had nothing to do with Tada Shun.

If he fails, Tada Shun will be transferred immediately, and the headache will also be for Okamura Ningji.

"You've just walked away, but I still have to continue my duties. I won't say congratulations. I just hope that His Royal Highness's plan will succeed!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a confidential secretary hurried into the office with an ugly look on his face.

"What happened, Oda-kun?"

"Report, Commander, Taiyuan telegram."

"Read!"

"Hai."

"Taiyuan urgent message: Taiyuan Airport was attacked, and His Royal Highness's life or death is unknown."

"Nani?"

Tada Shun and Tanabe Moritake were both stunned. They were just talking about His Royal Highness the Prince, hoping that His Royal Highness's fox-killing plan would be successful. Now His Royal Highness the Prince's life or death was unknown?

Especially for Tada Shun, during his term of office, there have been some ugly incidents such as the capture of the commander of the First Army and the fall of Datong. If His Royal Highness gets into trouble again, his plan to return to the country to serve as a military counselor may be ruined.

Tada Shun walked to the front of the phone: "Connect me to Taiyuan!"

After waiting for about a minute, the call from Taiyuan was finally connected, but the person who answered the phone was only a staff officer, and no one knew what had happened.

After hanging up the phone, Tada Shun and Tanabe Moritake paced back and forth anxiously.

After waiting for about half an hour, another telegram was finally delivered to Tada Shun.

"Taiyuan Airport was attacked by the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Independent Column. The airport was destroyed, and poison gas spread after the ammunition depot exploded. His Royal Highness inhaled a large amount of poison gas and is being treated in the hospital. He is still in critical condition. The Eighth Route Army's Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Independent Column attacked Taiyuan Airport."

After reading the telegram, Tada Shun read it carefully twice before he believed that the content of the telegram was true.

The airport was attacked, and the prince was seriously injured and is still in danger...

"how so."

Tada Shun sat in the chair with a frown on his face. What a coincidence, what a coincidence. His Royal Highness the Prince was just about to implement the Fox Extermination Plan and was about to use poison gas bombs to attack Li Yunlong's Jin-Cha-Ji Independent Column.
