Anti-Japanese War: Li Yunlong dared to attack Taiyuan

"Old Xing and Zhang Dabiao can both take over temporarily. Ding Wei can also do it, but Ding Wei is new here and doesn't understand the situation well, so he might not be suitable. However, I still think the brigade commander needs to keep an eye on things. Neither of them has experience commanding more than 10,000 troops, so they might not be able to adapt when they first take over."

Xing Zhiguo, Zhang Dabiao and Shen Quan were all people that Li Yunlong focused on training. However, because the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Independent Column was expanding rather quickly and in a short time, the two men's experience was still a little insufficient. If they were hastily sent them into service, accidents might occur.

Ding Wei has the ability, but after all, he has just been incorporated into the Independent Column and knows nothing about the personnel, so it is not appropriate to ask him to take over temporarily. As for Kong Jie, if there is no fighting and the Independent Column just wants to rest in place, Kong Jie is definitely the best choice.

However, in addition to the Ping'an County base, the Independent Column also needs to pay close attention to the Jibei Detachment and the Wutai Mountain Detachment, which makes Kong Jie a little overwhelmed.

So Li Yunlong wanted to add some burden to the brigade commander and ask him to help.

After hearing this, the brigade commander glanced at Li Yunlong and said, "Aren't you afraid that I will empty your independent column?"

"Brigade Commander, look at what you said. The independent column is yours. You can take whatever you want anytime."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone at the table burst into laughter.

"Okay, I'll come over and keep an eye on you while you go study. Study hard, kid. Don't get complacent just because you've won a few battles. You still have a lot to learn, especially troop movements, logistics deployment, and combat planning. These are your weaknesses, and you can learn a lot at the rear headquarters."

Li Yunlong nodded vigorously. In terms of military command, Li Yunlong never felt that his ability was particularly outstanding. The main reason was that every time he took action, he could find various classic tactics that appeared in later generations in his mind.

For example, the surprise attack on Datong was actually a variation of the raid on Sansuo, appearing in an unexpected place for the enemy. As for the bombing of Taiyuan Airport, it borrowed some tactics from the brigade commander during his time in South Vietnam.

Thanks to the benefits brought by time travel, Li Yunlong's memory has become particularly clear. He can remember clearly the books and materials he read in later lives, and even some video materials he saw while watching short videos. Otherwise, Li Yunlong might not have been able to win these battles.

"Don't worry, leaders. I will study hard and come back with first place."

"Okay, I'll wait for your good news then!"

After the commander finished speaking, he looked at Xiuqin and said, "Comrade Xiuqin, this time Li Yunlong is going to the rear headquarters for further study. We have also taken into consideration that you two have not been married for long and it is not suitable for you to live apart. So this time you will go to the rear headquarters with Li Yunlong for further study. The specific time is the same as Li Yunlong's. Do you have any problems with this?"

"Commander, I have no problem. Wherever Lao Li goes, I will go!"

After hearing this, the commander looked at Li Yunlong and said, "You kid, I don't know how you got so lucky to marry such a good wife!"

"Hey hey hey..."

"Okay, hurry up and eat. After dinner, let's discuss how to deal with that Japanese Navy Special Forces!"

"Yes!"

Chapter 308 The Lost Japanese Marines

In the command room of the independent column.

Li Yunlong was processing telegrams and paying close attention to the Japanese Marines approaching Ping'an County.

"Report, the target has entered Phoenix Mountain and is continuing to move south."

Li Yunlong walked to the front of the map and frowned when he saw the distance between Fenghuang Mountain and Ping'an County.

"Phoenix Mountain, didn't this group of devils go there once? Why did they go there again?"

"I don't know, but they seem to be lost."

"be lost?"

Li Yunlong looked at the map in surprise, picked up all the telegrams and read them, and found that this group of Japanese devils seemed to be really lost.

This afternoon, we had already reached Phoenix Mountain, but ended up running to Shibapan Mountain and then running back to Phoenix Mountain.

It really does seem like we're going in circles.

"Where are our troops?"

"The ambush position was originally planned to be near Nangou, but now it has advanced about five kilometers and is currently ambushed near Daqing Ridge."

Li Yunlong looked at the distance between Daqing Ridge and Fenghuang Mountain and sighed.

"Send a telegram to Zhang Dabiao, and have him send someone to disguise themselves as a puppet soldier to lead the way for the Japanese!"

There is a road from Fenghuang Mountain to Ping'an County, but these devils have been walking in circles all afternoon. Now it is night, and no one knows where these devils who can't find the way are running to in the dark in the middle of the night.

"Yes!"

Soon, Zhang Dabiao, who was ambushing his troops near Daqing Ridge, received a telegram from Li Yunlong.

"The commander wants us to disguise ourselves as puppet soldiers and lead the devils?"

Looking at the content of the telegram, Zhang Dabiao was stunned for a moment. Is it still possible to fight like this?

"Captain, let me go!"

At this time, Xiao Wanshi, who had just been transferred to Li Yunlong's army, spoke.

"Can you speak Japanese?"

"I know a little bit. I learned it specifically for catching tongues. The commander ordered us to be puppet soldiers. It doesn't matter whether we know the Japanese language or not."

Zhang Dabiao thought about it. Although Xiao Wanshi had just come to the independent column, Zhang Dabiao was clear about his previous battle records. At the beginning, Li Yunlong took Zhang Dabiao to the 772nd Regiment to deceive people, no, they exchanged them.

After Xiao Wanshi came, Li Yunlong directly arranged a deputy detachment position for him, and Zhang Yingcai is now the deputy company commander, and both are being trained to become commanders.

"Okay, take your men there. We have people around to keep an eye on the Japanese. The contact information is..."

After Xiao Wanshi wrote down the contact information and the location of the Japanese, he took a map, changed his clothes, hung a box gun, and took Zhang Yingcai and more than a dozen soldiers with him, and quickly rushed towards Phoenix Mountain.

Two hours later, in Phoenix Mountain.

The Japanese Marine Corps' 1st Mixed Brigade has completely lost its way.

This group of naval soldiers had never been trained in mountain warfare before. They were trained and stationed in cities.

After landing in Tianjin, we headed west along the railway, so we wouldn't get lost.

As a result, when they were preparing to launch a surprise attack on Ping'an County, they got completely lost after entering the mountains.

At the beginning, it was fine when the sun was there, and I could still determine the direction based on the sun.

But as the sun sets, without any reference points, I run around in the mountains like a headless fly.

After walking back and forth for two hours, I found that this road seemed to have been walked before.

"General, let's rest here for a while and set off again tomorrow."

A staff officer next to him was looking at the map with a flashlight, but he was unable to determine his current location and could only speak to persuade Ouchi Denshichiro.

After hearing this, Ouchi Denshichiro looked around and said in annoyance, "Damn it! Why do all the mountains in China look exactly the same? Just as cunning as the people!"

"Hayi, His Excellency the General is right!"

"Notify the troops to rest where they are and have dinner!"

"Hayi!"

Many people breathed a sigh of relief when they heard that Ouchi Denshichiro had finally ordered a rest.

Today is the most difficult day for them since they landed.

In the past, we marched along the railway line. Although the road was made of gravel, at least there was a road, and places like Yangquan were controlled by Li Yunlong's troops.

The railway was temporarily paralyzed and there were no trains passing by, so they could march directly on the tracks.

Just walk the distance you need to walk every day.

But today we plunged into the mountains. Although there were some small paths to walk on, the mountain roads were much more difficult to walk on than the railways. The soldiers walking at the back were still fine, but the soldiers walking in front still needed to clear the way. After a day of tossing and turning, they were exhausted.

At this time, not far from the Japanese Marines, the scouts of the Jibei Detachment were staring closely at the movements of this Japanese army.

Two kilometers further back, in a hidden place, a dozen people carrying radios were reporting the movements of this Japanese army to Li Yunlong.

At this moment, a low bird call came from not far away. After hearing it, the platoon leader of the reconnaissance platoon cleared his throat and responded in a different voice.

After receiving the response, Xiao Wanshi and his men emerged from the woods.

"Comrade, we are from the First Squadron, here to carry out a mission. Are the Japanese Marines still in Phoenix Mountain?"

Huang Kangping, the platoon leader of the reconnaissance platoon, nodded and said, "They're two kilometers ahead. Our people are keeping an eye on them. They just took a break and are preparing to have dinner."

Hearing these words, Xiao Wanshi's eyes lit up.

"Please take us there."

Huang Kangping did not ask Xiao Wanshi and others what they were going to do. They had already received the notice and would fully cooperate with Xiao Wanshi and others to complete the task.

Twenty minutes later, Xiao Wanshi and his men were observing the Japanese Marines from a distance.

Although they were in the mountains, this Japanese army had no intention of taking any precautions at all. They started making fires and cooking directly, and there was not even any guard post set up around them.

"Captain Xiao, what is your mission?"

Huang Kangping initially thought that a large army had arrived to encircle and annihilate this group of Japanese soldiers, although there were more than 5,000 of them. However, after Huang Kangping's observation, he found that although these Japanese soldiers were well-equipped, their combat effectiveness should not be strong, and they did not have any heavy weapons. As long as the large army surrounded them, they would be wiped out quickly.

"Our mission is to lead them into the encirclement. I hope a few of you comrades will cooperate with us in a play later."

On the way here, Xiao Wanshi had already thought about how to act and how to trick these devils.

"Okay, you say it, we will fully cooperate!"

Xiao Wanshi pointed at the Japanese not far away, and then whispered his plan in Huang Kangping's ear.

"Can these devils be fooled?"

"If these devils were from the army, they would definitely not be fooled, but they are from the navy."

Li Yunlong once talked about some things about the Japanese army and navy. Xiao Wanshi knew the contradictions between the Japanese army and navy and knew that they would never exchange intelligence with each other, so he came up with a bold plan.

And even if the plan failed, he was confident that he could lure the Japanese into the encirclement, but there might be some casualties.

So Xiao Wanshi prepared to try to lure this group of Japanese devils into the encirclement without suffering any casualties.

Chapter 309 Blowing up the Datong City Wall

Near Datong.

Shen Quan lay in a secluded place outside Datong City, observing the dark Datong city wall in the distance.

"Have all the defenders in Datong City left?"

"Report, the reconnaissance unit reports that the Datong defenders have appeared around the Wutai Mountain base. We have confirmed that four regiments from the 26th Division, along with the field artillery regiment and the logistics regiment, have also emerged."

After hearing this, Shen Quan narrowed his eyes slightly and asked, "How is the blasting team preparing?"

"We're ready, but Captain, we've already used up all the explosives. What if..."

"Don't worry, if we take over Datong, we'll have all the supplies. Hurry up and don't give the Japanese time to react!"
