Anti-Japanese War: Li Yunlong dared to attack Taiyuan

"Report, Your Excellency, Division Commander, a troop has appeared not far from us, claiming to be from the Outer Mongolian Legion!"

"Outer Mongolian Legion?"

Kotaro Kotera remembered the reinforcements mentioned by General Li Yunlong and immediately realized one thing: the Outer Mongolian troops supported by the empire might also be supported by General Li Yunlong.

A complete diagram of the winter counteroffensive, with the Russians in red, the Japanese in blue, the Koreans in black, and the 171st Division in green.

Thinking of this, Kota Kotera couldn't help but be stunned. If he remembered correctly, the empire paid a lot of price to win over the Outer Mongolian troops and provided a lot of supplies to Outer Mongolia.

"So that's how it is. General Li Yunlong is truly terrifying!"

At this time, Kotaro Kotera thought of a possibility. Before the war started, Li Yunlong took their deployment map from him, and now he has obtained the Russian defense map. It seems that everything was arranged by Li Yunlong.

"If that's really the case!"

"Then General Li Yunlong is truly amazing!"

Kota Kotera was a little excited, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was possible.

However, Kota Kotera did not intend to report this news. Instead, his admiration for Li Yunlong reached a new level.

Here comes the fourth update, but I still owe one chapter. Let me explain why there are four updates. About a month ago, I discussed it with the editor, and the editor suggested that I write 6,000 words a day, which means three updates. In order to maximize profits, I hope everyone can understand that I make a living from this, and the income will be higher if the cycle is extended.

The profit from Tomato's burst of updates is not great, so after I finish paying off the outstanding chapters, I will guarantee three updates a day. I will add more chapters if there are rewards. I will add one more chapter for the two great gods and three more chapters for the King of Gifts. It's not that the author is arrogant, but the author also needs to eat. I hope you can understand.

Finally, I would like to ask for a free gift, thank you! ~

Chapter 513: Surrounding Wei and rescuing Zhao?

Two days later, Kurkusk.

"Report, the Japanese 171st Division is still ten kilometers away from Kurkusk!"

There was some confusion in Gastilovich's command center at this time.

Ever since the 171st Division broke through the position of the th Division under the th Army of the Soviet Union, it has been advancing northward with unstoppable force.

In just two days, it directly threatened Kurkusk.

This is the headquarters of the Soviet Siberian Front, a logistics supply center, a material transfer station, and even an industrial city.

Because the city is next to the Trans-Siberian Railway, after the fall of Chita, all the supplies transported by the Soviet Union from Central Siberia and Western Siberia were concentrated here.

At the same time, for convenience, the Russians also dismantled some industrial equipment and placed them here. At this time, there were two bullet production lines, one artillery shell production line, and a gun barrel production line in the city.

In addition, there are metallurgical equipment and two power plants.

Now the city is about to be attacked by the Japanese, and there is only one infantry division stationed in the city.

"So fast?"

Li Yunlong didn't show any panic on his face at this time. He frowned and asked, "What troops can be mobilized around here?"

"General Li Yunlong, the only troops available are those in Baikalsk. I have ordered the 17th Army to return to Kurkusk immediately!"

After hearing this, Li Yunlong immediately spoke out to stop him, saying, "No, absolutely not!"

Hearing Li Yunlong's words, Gastilovich said anxiously: "General Li Yunlong, if you don't withdraw troops to support us, Kurkusk will not be able to hold on. Once Kurkusk falls, the consequences will be disastrous!"

Looking at the anxious Gastilovich, Li Yunlong patted Gastilovich's shoulder vigorously: "Calm down, Gachi, it's not the last moment yet!"

Li Yunlong walked to the front of the map and said, "Everyone, please be quiet and listen to me."

When everyone turned their eyes to Li Yunlong, he drew his baton and pointed at Baikalsk: "Everyone, our mission in this winter battle is to destroy the 300,000 main forces of the Japanese around Lake Baikal!"

"The main force of the Japanese has been surrounded by us in Baikalsk. It is only a matter of time before we eat them up!"

"Not only can we not withdraw troops to support Kurkusk, but we must continue to intensify our offensive against Baikalsk!"

"Send out all available aircraft!"

Hearing Li Yunlong's words, a Mao Xiong immediately retorted: "General Li Yunlong, what about Kurkusk?"

"Nothing to do, just give up and stop defending!"

"Not guarding anymore?"

"This is our most important city now!"

"If this place is occupied by the devils, it will have a huge impact on the entire battle situation!"

"right……"

Looking at the group of Russian generals in front of him, Li Yunlong sighed. If it weren't for the supplies and equipment in the city of Kurkusk, Li Yunlong would not bother to talk nonsense with them.

"We Chinese have a saying: if you save the land but lose the people, both the land and the people will be lost; if you save the people but lose the land, both the land and the people will be saved!"

"What this means is that if we forcefully defend Kurkusk now, it will take time for reinforcements to arrive. Not to mention whether we can hold it or not, we will have to withdraw troops to reinforce. Then we won't even be able to defeat the main force of the Japanese army surrounded in Baikalsk!"

"Even if we hold Kurkusk, if we can't destroy the main force of these Japanese troops, when spring comes, the Japanese army will attack again, and it will be another fierce battle. All the gains of the winter counterattack will be wiped out."

As soon as these words were spoken, all the excited Russian officers shut up.

Li Yunlong pointed to Kurkusk and said: "We will withdraw from Kurkusk now and retreat to Usolye, or even to Kutulik or even Tulun."

"As long as our main force can destroy the main force of the Japanese in Baikalsk and then withdraw another force, do you think the Japanese can hold Kurkusk?"

"The purpose of the Japanese 171st Division is to force your troops in Baikalsk to rescue Kurkusk. This will give the Japanese in Baikalsk a chance of survival. In China, this is called besieging Wei to save Zhao."

"As long as we destroy these 300,000 elite Japanese troops, we will have a chance to take back Kurkusk, Chita, and even Khabarovsk!"

"War isn't about the gains and losses of a single city or a single place. The Japanese are waiting for us to withdraw our troops from Baikalsk. We can't be fooled. So I say, not only can we not transfer our troops, but we must also invest all the resources we can in Baikalsk. Do you understand?"

After Li Yunlong's analysis, most of the Russian generals understood Li Yunlong's intention.

"As expected of the Fox of China, how could I not have thought of such a simple truth?"

"General Li Yunlong is indeed a member of the benevolent father's think tank!"

"I see, General Li Yunlong, I was a little loud just now."

"..."

A group of Russian generals began praising Li Yunlong. Gastilovich clapped his hands vigorously. When Li Yunlong came over, he whispered, "General Li Yunlong, do you want to blow up the supplies and factories in the city before we leave?"

"Why blow them up? Keep them. The Japs only have one division. How much can they take away? When we recapture Kurkusk, all these things will be ours!"

"I didn't think it through, but General Li Yunlong, Kurkusk has been occupied by the Japanese, and Moscow..."

Li Yunlong patted Gastilovich on the shoulder and said, "Gachi, you have to believe me. Rather than losing Kurkusk, I think Comrade Joseph would rather hear the news that you have completely wiped out the main force of the Japanese Siberian Front of 300,000 and recaptured Chita and other places!"

After getting Li Yunlong's guarantee, the hesitation on Gastilovich's face disappeared. In fact, it was not that the Russian general was stupid and did not understand this truth.

But they had too many concerns. Whoever brought it up first would be blamed for the capture of Kurkusk by the Japanese, so no one was willing to bring it up.

Now that Li Yunlong has brought it up, no one needs to take the blame and everyone immediately agrees to the proposal.

The Soviet troops retreated quickly. Li Yunlong, Gastilovich, the brigade commander and the division commander boarded the train and retreated westward along the Trans-Siberian Railway.

"Are these Japanese troops who attacked Kurkusk your men?"

When no one was around, the commander asked in a low voice.

"Commander, how did you figure that out?"

The division commander glanced at the brigade commander and said, "See, I won. I felt that something was amiss. This guy must be behind this."

The brigade commander reluctantly took out a pack of cigarettes and handed it over. Li Yunlong glared at the brigade commander.

"Brigade Commander, I'm really doing this for your own good, please stop smoking!"

The brigade commander touched his head, a little embarrassed: "I don't smoke, I just smell it occasionally."

"It's up to you. If you pull it out, I guess we won't even see the backbone of our nation anymore. It's such a treasure!"

The brigade commander listened to the promises Li Yunlong made and reluctantly took out another opened pack of cigarettes from his pocket.

Finally, he gritted his teeth and handed over a lighter.

Li Yunlong took a look and thought, wow, his lighter has ended up in the hands of the brigade commander again.

When I turned around to look at the commander, I found that the lighter in his hand was engraved with the words "Shenquan".

……

Chapter 514: Is this Japanese division commander one of ours?

"General Li Yunlong, there's a dining car on the train. We've specially prepared some traditional food from our country. Would you like to have some together?"

The train started and left Kurkusk. Gastilovich came to the carriage where Li Yunlong, the division commander and the brigade commander were and asked.

"What's there to eat?" Li Yunlong was a little hungry at this time, so he asked curiously.

"Our Mao Xiong specialty slow-cooked dishes are very similar to the hot pot in your country. They are very delicious. You can try them."

Hearing about hot pot, Li Yunlong quickly waved his hand and said, "Don't eat hot pot on the train. Just eat something else. Don't waste too much. Just eat something simple. We have a lot of things to deal with next."

"Okay, then I'll have the dining car bring up some beef stroganoff and roast pork."

"Thank you for the trouble, General Gachi, for making the trip yourself!"

"It should!"

At this time, in Lao Han's army, Lao Han looked at the map and then looked at the nearby Kurkusk.

"Lao Ma, the Russians are busy retreating now. What do you say about us launching a surprise attack on the railway? I think we can get a lot of good stuff!"

Ma Renxin thought for a moment, shook his head, and said, "Forget it. There are probably a lot of good things left in the city. The commander sent a telegram asking us to empty the city. I guess there are a lot of supplies!"

After hearing this, Old Han looked away reluctantly: "Let's go and see how many treasures the commander in the city has left for us!"

At this time, Lao Han's troops were less than five kilometers away from Kurkusk, and not far away was their "friendly army" - the Japanese 171st Division.

"Report, Your Excellency, the division commander, the Russians have voluntarily withdrawn from Kurkusk. Our vanguard has already occupied Kurkusk!"

In a jeep, Kota Kotera heard the report from his subordinates.

"Are you retreating without resistance? That's really surprising. Order the troops to enter the city and search it carefully. Beware of ambushes!"
