Anti-Japanese War: Li Yunlong dared to attack Taiyuan

"No, this speed is enough. We won't need much for now, so let's just keep digging. Remember, don't let anyone escape. Anyone who escapes will be killed without mercy!"

Li Yunlong narrowed his eyes slightly. Compared with what the Japanese did in the country, Li Yunlong felt that he was still too merciful.

As for these Outer Mongolians, Li Yunlong had no attitude towards them. He didn't regard them as his own people anyway. After all, they never thought that they had any relationship with China. They would even rather please the Japanese and the Koreans than improve their relationship with us.

At the same time, they discriminate against us from time to time. I don’t know where they get the courage from.

"Commander, this mission isn't difficult. Do you want to find someone else?"

Zhang Dabiao touched his head a little embarrassedly. At first, Zhang Dabiao was very excited when he knew it was a top-secret mission, but after staying here for a long time, apart from patrolling, watching people mining, and checking the numbers calculated by those Russians, Zhang Dabiao was a little bored and wanted to go to the battlefield.

"What? Are you annoyed?"

"Hehehe, Commander, I think I'm suitable for the battlefield. This place is not suitable for me. I think the political commissar is more suitable to come here."

"Don't even think about it. For this next mission, unless you sacrifice yourself here, don't even think about leaving until the mission is completed."

Li Yunlong rolled his eyes at Zhang Dabiao, then pinched Zhang Dabiao's shoulder and said, "Dabiao, do you know why I chose you to come here?"

Zhang Dabiao shook his head.

He also couldn't understand why he, a person who didn't even know what he was doing, was asked to manage all these things.

"Because you are the person I trust the most, and both you and I take this mission very seriously, we must let someone we trust carry it out."

After hearing this, Zhang Dabiao straightened his chest and said, "Thank you, sir, for your trust, Commander."

"Also, you are decisive and don't drag your feet!"

In fact, in addition to Li Yunlong's trust in Zhang Dabiao, what Li Yunlong values ​​most is Zhang Dabiao's style of doing things. As long as it is Li Yunlong's order, Zhang Dabiao will carry it out resolutely without any negligence!

"Good job!"

"Yes!"

"The backbone of our country depends on you!"

After Li Yunlong finished speaking, he checked other places again. After making sure there were no loopholes, Li Yunlong boarded the plane and headed to Kurkusk to prepare to lead the Russian bear's winter counterattack plan.

Chapter 496 Welcome General Li Yunlong to inspect

Kurkutsk Airport.

Gastilovich led a group of senior officers from the Soviet Siberian Front waiting at the airport.

The plane slowly landed at Kurkutsk Airport.

Gastilovich trotted over to the side of the plane and personally carried the spiral staircase to the cabin door. "General Li Yunlong, welcome, welcome, welcome General Li Yunlong to Kurkusk for inspection!"

Li Yunlong got off the plane, rubbing his body and saying, "The Il-4 is still too bumpy. It was such a torture flying all the way here!"

Hearing Li Yunlong's complaint, Gastilovich reacted instantly and said, "General Li Yunlong, I happen to have a batch of four-engine bombers here, Tupolev bombers. Some of the Moscow envoys are flying on special planes modified from these aircraft."

"Is there a PE8?"

"Ah? Yes, we have. Twelve of them have just been dispatched. Is General Li Yunlong interested?"

"I want."

Li Yunlong didn't hesitate and directly asked for six long-range bombers.

"By the way, I also want a fleet of Tupolev bombers. I'll have someone deliver the gold to you, and you can hand some over to Moscow yourself."

Li Yunlong patted Gastilovich on the shoulder and spoke earnestly.

"Yes, thank you General Li Yunlong for your guidance."

After a brief chat with Li Yunlong, Gastilovich took Li Yunlong to meet the group of senior officers of the Siberian Front.

Now the information about Li Yunlong has spread like wildfire throughout the Siberian Front.

All the generals wanted to cling to Li Yunlong's thighs.

At first, some people didn't believe it, but seeing Gastilovich's rocket-like improvement speed, many people chose to believe it. Later, Belia went to Li Yunlong in person and signed some agreements with Li Yunlong.

Then a large amount of supplies were sent to Li Yunlong, making many people believe that Moscow and Li Yunlong had a good relationship, otherwise why would they support Li Yunlong with so much equipment?

Especially a few days ago, Gastilovich received an award from Moscow. The great father affirmed Gastilovich and gave him high praise, thinking that he was a loyal and brave Bolshevik and a role model for everyone.

Many people have guessed who was responsible for this. It was none other than Li Yunlong. Before meeting Li Yunlong, Gastilovich was just a marginal figure who had luckily escaped the Great Purge.

When they were still in Chita, they were able to get in touch with Li Yunlong.

But with the fall of Chita, they retreated to Kurkusk, and those who wanted to cling to Li Yunlong's thighs could no longer do so.

Today, Li Yunlong came to Kurkusk, and a group of people began to get ready, ready to show themselves well.

"Is he Li Yunlong? He doesn't look anything special." A Russian major general said in a low voice.

"This Li Yunlong not only has powerful connections in Moscow, but the Japanese also gave him a bunch of nicknames, such as the Fox of China..."

A group of Russian generals standing in the back row had no way to shake hands with Li Yunlong and could only discuss Li Yunlong in a low voice.

"Hello, General Li Yunlong, welcome to Kurkusk. I'm Maxim Fedorovich Terekhin, and it's a pleasure to meet you!"

When Li Yunlong heard the name, he extended his hand and shook it: "Hello!"

"General Li Yunlong, hello, I'm Sorkin, responsible for intelligence work for the Siberian Front. I have many friends in the Anti-Japanese United Army!"

"General Li Yunlong, hello, I am..."

One by one, the Russian generals shook hands with Li Yunlong enthusiastically, and Li Yunlong responded one after another.

Only when they got in the car did Li Yunlong take off his gloves. "Why are they so enthusiastic? I'm a little uncomfortable with it."

Gastilovich said a little embarrassedly: "General Li Yunlong, they have guessed your connections in Moscow, so they..."

Gastilovich was a little nervous. He knew that all this came from Li Yunlong, especially the compliment from the bearded man, which paved the way for his future success.

And all this was because of Li Yunlong. Li Yunlong proposed a winter combat plan and asked him to report it.

After he submitted the report as requested by Li Yunlong, he indeed received praise from Moscow, personally praised by the bearded man. This was the supreme honor in the Russian army at that time.

"It's okay, I still think the best of you!"

Li Yunlong patted Gastilovich on the shoulder and said, "I've reviewed the battle plan and there aren't any major problems. I've also brought you some intelligence on the Japanese this time. Please adjust the positions of their garrisons accordingly."

As Li Yunlong spoke, he handed over a document.

This document was provided by Kota Kotera.

The 4th Division performed outstandingly in the Battle of Chita, and was the first to break through the Yablonov Hill position, allowing the Japanese to capture Chita with relatively small losses. Many people in the 4th Division were commended.

First, the commander of the 4th Division, Kenzo Kitano, was transferred to become the commander of the 1st Army of the Kwantung Army.

The original commander, Yamashita Tomotake, led two divisions south, reportedly to the Malay region.

The popular commander, Nakaaki Daisho, succeeded Kitano Kensho as the commander of the 4th Division.

And because Kota Kotera led the 171th Regiment to be the first to charge into the Yablonov Hill position, he was promoted and became the commander of the st Division, a newly formed Type C division of the Japanese.

The 171st Division is a newly formed division. All its members are from Osaka. However, compared with elite divisions like the 171th Division, the st Division is only a Type C division. However, because its equipment is much better than other Type C divisions, its combat effectiveness is roughly equivalent to that of a Type B division.

This division was established less than a year ago, and its main task now is to take charge of defense.

Normally, a Type C division consists of three infantry regiments, one engineer regiment, one supply regiment, and one infantry artillery regiment. It has no heavy artillery and no cavalry regiment, and a total of only 15,000 people.

However, because it is a force in the Osaka area, its equipment is much better than that of the ordinary Japanese Type C division. It has an additional field artillery battalion and a tank battalion directly under the division. This is why the combat effectiveness of the 171st Division is almost that of a Type B division.

Although Kota Kotera is now a division commander, his military rank has not been greatly promoted and he is only a colonel.

This situation should not have occurred, but because the Kwantung Army expanded by one million in less than a year (from 1941 to 1942 million in , and expanded by another in , with a loss of ), and added more than divisions, the Japanese generals were not enough.

Therefore, some colonels with outstanding abilities were promoted to division commanders, and these colonel-level division commanders were mostly commanders of Type C divisions.

Kota Kotera's 171st Division is currently forming a defensive position near Kurkusk.

Li Yunlong easily obtained the defensive deployment of the Japanese troops.

Here are the fourth chapters, and I still owe five. Please give me some free gifts and urge me to update. It's March, I wish everyone good luck in March. The AI ​​has secretly changed my story again...

Chapter 497 New Battle Plan

"The Japanese's defensive deployment?" After hearing this, Gastilovich quickly took the document and started reading it.

"General Li Yunlong, you are truly amazing! With this information on the Japanese defense deployment, plus the 200,000 reinforcements sent by Moscow, I am confident that we can drive the Japanese back to the four eastern provinces this winter!"

The Japanese defensive deployment was drawn in great detail, including not only the front-line defense deployment but also the defense deployment around Chita.

What Gastilovich said was not wrong. If the Soviet troops could continue to advance with unstoppable force, they would indeed be able to drive the Japanese back to the four northeastern provinces, or back to the Far East, this winter.

But this is not what Li Yunlong wants to see.

Although Li Yunlong wanted to bleed the Japanese, he couldn't drain their blood all at once. Li Yunlong wanted to kill all the Japanese elite in the Siberia region to pave the way for his future counterattack.

At the same time, we must also weaken the strength of the Soviet Siberian Front. After all, Gastilovich just said that Moscow has sent another 200,000 reinforcements. If they are not weakened, the 500,000 Soviet troops will become a trouble in the later stage.

Therefore, this winter combat plan is not only to make the Japanese bleed, but also to make the Russians bleed.

Li Yunlong's goal was to cripple the last 300,000 elite Japanese troops, so that the remaining Japanese troops would be new recruits. Even after a year of training, they would not face much obstacles when he attacked the four eastern provinces and occupied the entire Far East and other regions.

Especially the technical troops such as the Japanese pilots, who consumed the energy of the Russian and Japanese pilots.

Airplanes can be built, but training pilots takes time. Many Japanese pilots now have several years or even more than ten years of flying experience. Killing this group of people can narrow the gap between Li Yunlong's troops and the Japanese.

At the same time, it will also consume a large number of Soviet pilots and narrow the gap between Li Yunlong and the Soviets.

Gastilovich looked at the deployment map and studied it quickly. During this period of time, Gastilovich also grew a lot.

"General Li Yunlong, do you have any good plans?"

"I've read your battle plan. Steady and steady progress!"

"but!"

Li Yunlong paused at this point and said: "If I were you, I would choose to borrow the road!"

"Borrowing a way?"
