Anti-Japanese War: Li Yunlong dared to attack Taiyuan

The battle of Stalingrad continued. The Japanese crossed Kyakhta and began to march towards Kurkutsk.

On this day, Li Yunlong also received the last batch of supplies sent by the Russians.

Along with this batch of supplies, there was also military aid from the United States to Li Yunlong, sixty Sherman tanks, and a large amount of medicines. They followed the supplies from the Russian Bear through the Trans-Siberian Railway and then were delivered to Li Yunlong by land.

Chapter 467: Things Li Yunlong Can Do

"Is winter coming so early in the four eastern provinces? Is it snowing so early?"

Outside the Hailar Fortress, the division commander, deputy chief of staff, deputy political commissar and Gu Ying, who was transferred back from the Jiangnan area, were riding horses towards the fortress.

At this time, there was already snow on the road, and the road was becoming difficult to travel.

But at this moment, the chief of staff suddenly raised one hand and tilted his ear: "What's that sound!"

"It sounds like the roar of an engine."

"alert!"

The division commander also heard the noise. The snow on the ground had begun to shake. It should be a large-scale armored force moving around.

"Division Commander, Chief of Staff, Political Commissar, here, there are trees over here, let's retreat into the trees!"

A guard warned loudly.

"Lao Gu, let's go together!"

When the Hailar area encountered a large-scale mechanized force, the first thing that came to the minds of several leaders was the Japanese tank force. Judging from the scale, there was at least a tank regiment, or even more.

"Move quickly!"

"Into the woods!"

There was snow on the ground, and if the war horses were discovered by the Japanese tanks, it would be difficult for them to escape. They could only have a chance of survival by entering the woods and using the woods as obstacles.

"It's so difficult to carry out work in this place. I don't know how Li Yunlong developed it, but he actually has over 100,000 people!"

After the division commander entered the woods, he immediately dismounted and looked in the direction of the sound with a telescope.

Small black dots appeared on the snowfield, moving towards them and getting closer and closer.

Li Yunlong was holding a walkie-talkie in his hand and wearing a dog-skin hat. He shouted loudly through the walkie-talkie: "The command vehicle should not rush so fast. The observer should pay attention to the position of himself and the surrounding crews!"

"What, what, Commander, what did you say? I can't hear you!"

Soon a voice came from the walkie-talkie, but Li Yunlong couldn't hear what was said on the other end.

Hearing this, Li Yunlong couldn't help but sigh and adjusted the frequency of his walkie-talkie: "Brigade Commander, Brigade Commander, can you hear me?"

"What? What? I can't hear you. It's too noisy!"

Soon, the brigade commander's voice was heard from the other end of the walkie-talkie. However, there was still a lot of noise mixed with the brigade commander's voice, and he still couldn't hear anything clearly.

Li Yunlong couldn't help but sigh, got back into the car, took out the radio communication equipment that came with the Sherman tank, put on the headphones on his head and continued: "Can you hear me now?"

"Commander, I can hear you!"

"Commander, I can hear you!"

"..."

Several Sherman tanks responded one by one.

Li Yunlong is now training his tank division to enable drivers and observers to operate tanks proficiently. At the same time, Li Yunlong is also testing the car-mounted walkie-talkie he modified from the Japanese walkie-talkie. The result is very poor. The noise is too loud and there is no way to hear clearly what the other side is saying.

The Soviet Union's T34 and the American-supported Sherman both have radio communications, but these tanks only account for about one-third of Li Yunlong's troops. A large number of BT tanks and T26s do not have radios and still rely on flag signals for command.

"Alright, signal the flags. All tanks halt, turn their guns, and aim at the woods at 3 o'clock! Each crew will keep their own time!"

"Yes!"

The vehicle-mounted radio test failed, so Li Yunlong could only continue training tank drivers and gunners.

In tank combat, the driving skills of the tank driver and the gunner's operational response are particularly critical. In a tank battle, the side that fires first often has an absolute advantage, unless the gap between the tanks is too large and cannot penetrate the opponent's armor.

After the commander of the 164th tank noticed the flag signal, he immediately ordered an emergency stop and ordered the gunner to turn the gun and aim towards the dense forest.

"Commander, we've been discovered!"

In the woods, the guards around the division commander and others spoke nervously.

"Disperse and retreat to the rear. After escaping the Japanese tanks' pursuit, gather in Hailar. Oh, and send a telegram to Li Yunlong. We've encountered a Japanese tank regiment near Hailar. No, with so many tanks, it's probably a Japanese tank division. Tell Li Yunlong to be prepared!"

After the division commander finished speaking, he added: "Leave a hundred people with me to attract the attention of the Japanese tanks and buy time for Li Yunlong's troops to set up defenses!"

"Commander, let me do it!"

"let me."

"I come!"

"..."

Just as several people were arguing about staying, Gu Ying carefully observed the tanks with a telescope and said, "These tanks seem to have our flag printed on them. They look like our tanks."

"Our tanks? Impossible? We have no other troops here except Li Yunlong. Is Li Yunlong the Monkey King who can transform into a tank?"

After hearing this, the commander picked up the telescope and looked over again.

The others also gave up arguing and looked in the direction Gu Ying said with their telescopes.

I happened to see Li Yunlong who was commanding the troops in training. Li Yunlong was wearing a dog-skin hat and waving his hand, and there was a messenger waving a flag beside him.

"Commander, do you want live ammunition?"

"Live ammunition? Live ammunition is bullshit. We only have so many shells. Save some!"

"Commander, there seems to be someone in the woods!"

"Someone?"

At this time, Li Yunlong picked up the telescope and looked into the woods, and found several people looking at him with telescopes. Because their faces were blocked by the telescope, Li Yunlong did not recognize them.

"Holding binoculars and wearing our uniforms!"

Li Yunlong frowned and thought for a while. No troops had been mobilized recently, and even if they were signalmen or troops coming from Hailar, they would not hide in the woods when they saw his tanks.

"Let's go and take a look. Maybe it's the Japanese in disguise!"

Li Yunlong immediately ordered all tanks to rush towards the woods.

In the woods, Gu Ying did not recognize Li Yunlong, but the division commander and others recognized Li Yunlong.

"It seems to be that kid Li Yunlong."

"Really? I didn't recognize this guy wearing a dog-skin hat."

At this time, the tank troops had turned around and rushed towards the dense forest.

The scene of more than one hundred tanks charging collectively looks very spectacular, but if these tanks are coming towards themselves, many people will be scared to the point that their legs will become weak and they won't even be able to walk.

However, the division commander and others did not show any change in expression, but instead looked at the tank unit carefully.

"The barrel is very thick, it's not the little Japanese tank."

"No, Lao Gu, have you seen it?"

"I haven't seen it either. It looks like a Russian tank."

"Where did Li Yunlong get this Mao Xiong tank? Could he have disguised himself as a Japanese soldier and captured it by attacking Mao Xiong?"

The deputy chief of staff knew Li Yunlong very well and said this with some uncertainty.

"It's hard to say. This kid is capable of doing such a thing!"

Chapter 468: The Arrogant Li Yunlong and the Brigade Commander

"Stop!"

When the tanks were about to rush into the dense forest, Li Yunlong ordered the tanks to stop moving forward, and the tank crew closest to the dense forest stopped at the bottom of the slope.

The tank commander also discovered his own people in military uniforms in the woods, but he was still adjusting the gun barrel, and the tank equipped with a machine gun also turned the machine gun muzzle.

"Li Yunlong, is this how you welcome us?"

The division commander took the lead and walked out of the woods, looking at Li Yunlong with a smile.

"Commander, aren't you arriving in three days?"

Li Yunlong quickly jumped out of the tank to meet them, and the brigade commander also got out of a tank behind.

"We ran into the 115th Division on the way. They had a few horses, and each man had two horses, which made them much faster. If we hadn't arrived earlier, I wouldn't have known that you, Li Yunlong, actually had a tank division!"

The division commander and others ignored Li Yunlong who was rushing over and started circling around the tank.

"This gun barrel is 75 millimeters, right?"

"Oh, there are two machine guns."

"With this thickness of armor, I don't think a bomb could penetrate it. It would be difficult to deal with it on the battlefield!"

"..."

Li Yunlong followed beside them, listening to the discussion. The brigade commander raised his head and began to introduce: "You haven't seen it before? This is an American Sherman tank. It has a 75mm main gun. One shot can blow the Japanese tanks to pieces!"

"This is the Russian T34. This one won't do. The Japanese Type modified version is barely usable."

"You guys came at the wrong time. A while ago, all our tanks were gathered together for a few training sessions. That was a spectacular sight. Over 500 tanks moving together, that scale, that momentum!"

After listening to the brigade commander's introduction, the division commander and others couldn't help but turn their heads to look at Li Yunlong: "How many tanks?"

"More than 500?"

"Three tank divisions?"

Li Yunlong also raised his head at this time, and said in a somewhat defiant tone: "Almost. One tank army, I think it's still a little insufficient. At least 2,000 tanks are enough. We have such a long border, a few hundred tanks are not enough!"

"hiss!"

A group of people couldn't help but gasp for the cold Siberian air.

How long has it been? A year? Li Yunlong has already established a tank army in the four northeastern provinces. If it had been two years, Li Yunlong would have been in the air.

"Li Yunlong, Li Yunlong, I know you're very capable. Tell me, are you the Monkey King transformed into a tank?"
