Anti-Japanese War: Li Yunlong dared to attack Taiyuan

The combat records of the Japanese Marine Corps in later generations were all in Southeast Asia. The few records on the domestic battlefield all showed their impressive combat effectiveness, especially in the early stage of the Battle of Shanghai, when several thousand Marines held back the National Army's attack for more than ten days until the arrival of the Japanese reinforcements.

Of course, some top-notch operations by masters were also indispensable. General Zhang personally went to the Magic City to inspect the Japanese fortifications and explained that all the Japanese buildings were solid reinforced concrete structures. The Magic City troops lacked heavy weapons for attacking and could not conquer in a short time. A large number of heavy weapons needed to be mobilized, but all his advice fell on deaf ears.

Another thing is that the start of the war was delayed again and again. The Japanese knew that you were going to fight before the war started and started preparing, but the master kept delaying it, postponing it day by day, and even called the headquarters the day before the war to delay the start of the war for three days.

Finally, the Japanese were ready and they had no choice but to start fighting. However, after the fighting, they ordered a ceasefire and other tricks, which allowed the Japanese Marines to successfully hold out until reinforcements arrived.

But Li Yunlong would not underestimate any opponent. Even when fighting the Sixth Division, Li Yunlong had advantages in weapons and ammunition. His initial plan was just to cause heavy damage, and then seize the opportunity to take it down in one wave.

Even a lion will use all its strength to fight a rabbit. Li Yunlong must also take this 5,000-man Marine Corps seriously and prepare to send all the remaining 15,000-plus people of the independent column to launch an ambush.

Including the heavy artillery company and the rocket artillery battalion, they all began to replenish ammunition, waiting for Li Yunlong's order so that they could immediately rush to the battlefield from the celebration site.

After the wedding, Yang Wanli walked downstairs with his wife, smiling. He saw his team leader sitting on two rocks smoking a cigarette. He immediately ran over excitedly and said, "Team leader, didn't you go to the social gathering yesterday? Why didn't you get married today?"

"Go, get out of the way!"

Kong Jie turned his head away in frustration. This guy was getting married today, so he wouldn't bother with him.

But when he turned around, he saw Old Xing, who had attended the social gathering with him last night, holding his wife's hand and saying something, and the two of them were constantly accepting blessings.

Looking at the other direction, Li Yunlong was holding his wife's hand and chatting with a group of people who looked like a family.

Changing direction, Ding Wei is...

Finally, when I lowered my head, I saw that the stone I was sitting on was also in pairs.

……

……

……

My friends came over and we drank quite a bit, so today is the third update. Everyone, go to bed early.

Chapter 306 Jia Xiaohou's attitude changes

"Commander Li, this is my brother, Jia Fei. This is my mother, and this is my sister-in-law. My mother graduated from a normal university, and my sister-in-law graduated from Yenching University. My brother once studied abroad with the Japanese..."

Listening to Jia Ji introducing his family situation, Li Yunlong couldn't help but sigh in his heart, this family is full of talents.

It's a pity that Jia Xiaohou only has two sons. If he had more sons, his family could support a discipline, such as metallurgy or weapons design. Two more to study physics? Mathematics?

"Hello, welcome to Ping'an County. The devils have been making trouble recently. We are sorry for the poor hospitality."

Li Yunlong greeted them with a smile. This family was full of talented people. Since they had come to Ping'an County, Li Yunlong did not intend to let them leave. However, he could not force them to stay. After all, this was not a bandit's den.

"Commander Li, did you really wipe out the Japanese Sixth Division? Killed over 30,000 Japanese soldiers?"

Jia Ji's elder brother Jia Fei spoke first, looking at Li Yunlong with admiration.

Li Yunlong saw Jia Fei staring at him with admiration in his eyes. Knowing that he had a high probability of keeping him, he smiled humbly and said, "This is all thanks to Jia Ji and Mr. Jia Xiaohou. If you hadn't made the 107 rocket, I wouldn't have been able to defeat the Japanese Sixth Division."

As soon as Li Yunlong said this, Jia Xiaohou smiled and touched his beard with his hand. He was obviously very satisfied with Li Yunlong's praise. The gunpowder in the warhead of the 107 rocket was improved by him.

“You guys are amazing!”

Jia Fei was a little excited. In fact, after the news was published in the newspaper, everyone was very excited. Whether it was the capture of the Japanese general Matsui Ishigen, or the subsequent capture of Datong and the annihilation of the Japanese Sixth Division, the people were all jubilant.

This was a division of the Japanese army, something that had never happened before. Many areas had already started celebrating, but Li Yunlong didn't know about it. Moreover, Li Yunlong sold part of the credit and hid himself.

"As soldiers, it's our responsibility to fight the Japanese. However, our Eighth Route Army's equipment is still somewhat outdated, mainly because we can't produce qualified steel. Otherwise..."

Li Yunlong knew that Jia Ji's brother Jia Fei was studying metallurgy technology, so he said this deliberately in order to keep him.

After hearing what Li Yunlong said, Jia Fei immediately said, "Commander Li, I studied metallurgy. I think I can help. Can I join your Eighth Route Army?"

As soon as these words came out, Jia Xiaohou's face beside him changed slightly. He wanted to stop him, but in the end he didn't say anything.

"Welcome, of course you are welcome!"

Li Yunlong looked at Jia Xiaohou and asked with a smile: "Mr. Jia, how have you been feeling recently?"

After hearing this, Jia Xiaohou nodded and said, "It's okay, that's it."

"Would you like to stay?"

In fact, the person Li Yunlong most wanted to keep was Jia Xiaohou. In addition to being an expert in metallurgy and weapons, he was also one of the first people in the country to start nuclear research.

Although Li Yunlong is not able to provide Jia Xiaohou with a research site for nuclear weapons, he can provide some theoretical research.

When the time is right in the future, we can start experiments, which can shorten the time for domestic research and development.

"I still have some technical skills to perfect, so it's a bit early to talk about this."

Jia Xiaohou was still somewhat dissatisfied with Li Yunlong's forced detention of him, but now that his two sons were with Li Yunlong, Jia Ji's admiration for Li Yunlong could be said to have reached its peak, and no one could pull him back. Now he began to read some other red books, and his thoughts began to turn red.

Jia Xiaohou knew his eldest son even better. If he had not stopped him, he would have joined the army to fight the Japanese.

Now that his whole family has arrived in Ping'an County, given Li Yunlong's character, he will definitely not let them go.

He would definitely stay, but Jia Xiaohou still had some pride and was not prepared to bow his head so early.

"Just ask if you need anything!"

Jia Xiaohou nodded after hearing this and said, "I need some physics books. Can you help me find them?"

Li Yunlong's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Mr. Jia is planning to study nuclear physics?"

Jia Xiaohou was stunned when he heard Li Yunlong's words: "You also know nuclear physics?"

"I know a little bit, and I've read some books about it. I think this is a direction."

Jia Xiaohou nodded without commenting. He now knew some information, but he didn't know the details very well, so he didn't resonate with Li Yunlong.

"I'll try my best to find a way to get books. We have a lot of books in the rear area, and we can also buy them from the Russians. Don't worry, as long as you have any needs, I will do my best to meet them."

"Ok!"

Jia Xiaohou didn't say anything more. He was quite satisfied with Li Yunlong's current attitude. He thought about it and realized that some of his former colleagues often complained about the mountain city and that they were unable to display their talents.

I can recommend them to come to Li Yunlong. Although they are in the mountains, Li Yunlong does not treat them badly. The food, clothing and other expenses are all okay. Although not as good as the Kuomintang, it is not bad either.

Jia Xiaohou deliberately looked at the meals of the ordinary soldiers, which were somewhat different from those of the technical personnel.

Moreover, the soldiers all knew about these things and did not feel any emotion about them. Instead, they thought it was natural.

Jia Xiaohou clearly remembered the words of a soldier guarding Black Cloud Mountain.

"We only have a little strength. In a bayonet fight with the Japs on the battlefield, killing one is enough to cover your losses, and killing two is a profit. Only weapons developed by you engineers can completely defeat the Japs. The Sixth Division was annihilated by your 107mm rockets. You deserve to eat well. I know your work requires your brains, so eat something good to replenish your nutrition."

This sentence was said by an ordinary soldier, but the things involved behind it made Jia Xiaohou very satisfied. At least it showed that Li Yunlong knew how to value talents and that science and technology could make the country strong.

When he thought about what he had encountered in the past, Jia Xiaohou's resentment towards Li Yunlong subsided a lot. He had been a little arrogant at the beginning. It was estimated that Commander Li had heard of his name, so he resorted to this desperate measure to keep him. Well, Commander Li was a person who loved talents.

When Li Yunlong left, he could visibly feel that Jia Xiaohou's attitude had changed.

He arranged the whole family together with a smile on his face, and the meal was about to begin.

This time when getting married, Li Yunlong was a little extravagant and had some meat. He bought some pork and took out some canned beef. The whole column had some meat today.

However, the amount of alcohol was strictly controlled, with only a small sip per person. One reason was that there was not much alcohol available at the moment, and the other was that they had to fight the Japanese Marines in the evening, and Li Yunlong didn't want anything to go wrong at this time. It was just wedding wine, so just a sip would be enough for the sake of appearance.

Moreover, this matter has been reported to the army commander and others, and Lao Zhao has also approved it. It is in line with the procedures and no one can find any fault with it.

In fact, any discerning person could see that Li Yunlong was taking advantage of his marriage to treat everyone to some delicious food.

After winning two great battles, it's only right that we let everyone have some meat to satisfy their cravings.

Chapter 307 Li Yunlong's Job Change

"Li Yunlong, congratulations. You should be more stable after getting married. You can't be so impulsive like before."

At the dinner table, the commander smiled as he watched Li Yunlong toast everyone with water instead of wine, and then said with satisfaction.

"Hehe, Commander, don't worry. I will pay attention and will definitely not make any mistakes."

The commander nodded in satisfaction and said, "Your Jin-Cha-Ji Independent Column performed a great service in annihilating the Sixth Division this time. This victory is of great significance and can even be said to be a turning point. The situation in Jin Province has also undergone earth-shaking changes because of this victory."

At this point, the army commander paused and said, "Your Jin-Cha-Ji Independent Column is awarded a great collective merit."

After hearing this, Li Yunlong immediately picked up his water. The army commander waved his hand and said, "Don't use that nonsense. This is what your independent column deserves. I haven't finished speaking yet."

"On a personal note, congratulations, Li Yunlong. With the approval of the Central...Central..., Li Yunlong is appointed Deputy Director of the First Bureau of the General Staff of the Rear Headquarters."

Hearing this, Li Yunlong was stunned. He then pointed at himself and said, "Commander, I'm the deputy director?"

"Well, that's the opinion from the rear headquarters. We think there's no problem. Congratulations, Li Yunlong!"

The commander looked at Li Yunlong who was standing there in a daze and said with a smile.

"Hey hey hey..."

"Stop giggling. This seat isn't a good place to sit. You need to be more careful next time. Do you hear me?"

"Yes, please rest assured, Commander. I will definitely work harder!"

"Well, the organization of your Jin-Cha-Ji Independent Column also needs to be adjusted. I took a look at the report you sent last time and it's approved without any problems. Ding Wei's New Second Regiment will also be incorporated into your Independent Column."

"However, your independent column has too many people, and our headquarters can't afford to support you. You'll have to find a way to get supplies yourself from now on. Is that okay?"

"Please rest assured, Chief, there is no problem!"

"Well, there's also the Black Cloud Mountain Arsenal, which has also been transferred to your independent column. However, you still have to give some bullets to the brother troops every month."

"no problem!"

The Heiyun Mountain Arsenal was basically founded by Li Yunlong. After Yixiantian was bombed by the Japanese, when the arsenal moved to Heiyun Mountain, there were basically only a few workers left and not much equipment.

However, within half a year after Li Yunlong took over, all kinds of equipment and machine tools were fully equipped, and there was a bullet production line. Nearly 260,000 rounds of bullets could be produced per month, greatly alleviating the Eighth Route Army's problem of insufficient bullets.

In addition, various equipment such as 107 rocket launchers, 88mm rocket launchers, rocket launchers, etc. have a certain output every month. Rockets are not equipped to other troops, but many brother troops have already been equipped with rocket launchers.

It helped these troops destroy many Japanese artillery towers and strongholds, opened up communication channels between various troops, and completely dismantled the Japanese plan to divide and surround the base.

"Finally, regarding your study trip to the rear headquarters, it's scheduled for three months, from November of this year to February of next year. You need to prepare in advance. Is there anyone in the Jin-Cha-Ji Independent Column who can temporarily cover for you?"

Li Yunlong had known for a long time that he was going to the rear headquarters to study, but the time had never been confirmed. This time the time was set, but there was a prerequisite, that is, nothing major happened in Shanxi Province.

The date is set from November to February of the following year, which actually takes this into consideration.

Except for the guy Kazuo Shinozuka who sent out troops for a winter mop-up in winter after Yamamoto Ikki was killed by Li Yunlong, the Japanese generally did not send out troops in winter.

The main reason is that the winter environment is somewhat harsh and the transportation of supplies is inconvenient, so the Japanese usually carry out large-scale operations in spring and autumn, and rarely in winter.
