Anti-Japanese War: Li Yunlong dared to attack Taiyuan

"Hayi!"

"Your Excellency, the Outer Mongolian Legion has also arrived. Should we allow them into the city?"

After hearing his subordinates' report, Kota Kotera thought for a moment and said, "I'll go over and take a look!"

"Hayi!"

At this time, Kota Kotera had a doubt in his mind.

That is whether the Outer Mongolian Legion has any connection with Li Yunlong.

However, when Kota Kotera met Lao Han, everything had an answer.

He didn't know Lao Han, but he was very familiar with Ma Renxin and Kota Kodera who was beside Lao Han.

When he first made a deal with General Li Yunlong, Ma Renxin was next to him. He seemed to be the deputy commander of the cavalry battalion at that time.

Later he was promoted all the way and was said to have become the commander of the cavalry column.

The answer is obvious when such a person appears in the Outer Mongolian Legion.

The current Kota Kotera is no longer the major who, when he first met Li Yunlong on the train, inexplicably said, "General Li Yunlong, are you surrendering to the empire?"

"General Ma, long time no see!"

When Kota Kotera saw Ma Renxin, he took the initiative to greet him. Since they were all family, there was no harm in chatting with him.

Now many people in Li Yunlong's army can speak Japanese language, and some are learning the language of the Russian bear.

Simple communication is no problem.

"Kodera-kun, it's been a long time since we last met. Are you the division commander now?"

"Yes, it's all thanks to General Li Yunlong's support!"

There was no one else around him except the two lieutenants who were kidnapped by Li Yunlong, so Kota Kotera did not hide anything.

"Then we must cooperate well. How are we going to distribute the supplies in the city?"

Kotaro Kotera also received a telegram from Li Yunlong, asking him to take away some necessary supplies and he would deal with the rest himself.

Originally, Kota Kotera was planning to burn it down, but now he felt that he couldn't burn it and had to leave it to General Li Yunlong's troops.

"Except for the necessary supplies for our division, General Ma Renxin can take the rest."

After hearing this, Ma Renxin took out a package from his back and handed it to Kota Kotaro: "This is what the commander asked me to give you. It will be useful to you."

Kota Kotera opened it in front of Ma Renxin, and inside was a pile of medals, as well as some rank insignia from the Russian military uniforms, including the shoulder straps of one general, two lieutenant generals, and five major generals.

Among the medals, the most precious is the Order of Reign, as well as the Order of the Red Flag and the Order of the Red Star. These are the more valuable medals of the Russian Federation now.

"Thank the commander for me. Our 171st Division has made another great contribution this time."

When Ma Renxin heard Kota Kotera address Li Yunlong, he opened his mouth to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything.

After Kotaro Kota left, Old Han looked at Ma Renxin with some curiosity: "Old Ma, do you know this Japanese division commander? Is he one of us?"

"I know him. He used to be a major in the 4th Division. He was captured by the commander and later released. I didn't expect that in just over a year, he was promoted from a major to a division commander. His promotion speed is really fast!"

Old Han stroked his chin and looked at Kota Kota's back: "Old Ma, do you think this devil is cooperating with us or was he planted inside the devil by the commander?"

Ma Renxin shrugged and said, "They should be planted inside the Japanese army. Didn't you hear him address the commander? Even if the commander told me now that he has arranged people around the emperor, I wouldn't be surprised."

Old Han nodded in agreement.

Ever since Old Han received the order to lead the Second, Third and Fourth Regiments to Outer Mongolia, he felt that his brain was a little behind.

How can a war be fought like this?

Using the enemy's supplies to fight the enemy, the victims are not even your own people, but you still make a lot of money.

The Outer Mongolian Army now has the equipment, the people, and the supplies it needs. It can be said that it has everything it needs.

The most important thing is that these equipment and supplies were sent by others. The Russians often tried to win over Lao Han and Agula, and the conditions became more and more tempting. If Li Yunlong had not allowed it, Lao Han would have agreed.

"I guess the commander was behind this war. Everything seemed like a script."

Ma Renxin glanced at Kurkusk in the distance and always felt that the shadow of his commander was behind the Soviet Union's winter counterattack.

Old Han nodded in agreement: "I think so too."

Lao Han and Ma Renxin analyzed it carefully while traveling these two days.

The Japanese lost hundreds of tanks, hundreds of planes, and hundreds of thousands of troops were surrounded.

The Soviet Union lost hundreds of tanks, hundreds of planes, and tens of thousands of troops, and eventually wiped out 300,000 main forces of the Japanese, with casualties probably reaching hundreds of thousands.

After thinking carefully about the losses suffered by the Japanese and the Russians, and then thinking about the gains, he found that the ones who benefited the most were actually himself and Shen Quan.

He ate a large piece of fat meat at his mouth, recruited 30,000 captured Kuomintang soldiers, obtained equipment and supplies, and a large amount of supplies supported by the Japanese devils.

Shen Quan obtained a large amount of supplies from the Russians. Old Han can be sure that the commander must have also obtained a lot of supplies. After all, the commander is like that. A thief never leaves empty-handed. No, he never does business at a loss. Not making money is equivalent to losing money.

When Lao Han and others first learned about Li Yunlong's plan in Outer Mongolia, they thought it was a bit unrealistic.

But as the plan has been implemented for nearly a year, Lao Han feels that this plan does have a chance of success.

According to the current fighting style of the Soviets and the Japanese, it is estimated that it will not take long before these troops will be exhausted. By then, the Heilongjiang, Jilin, Liaodong and Chahar Military Region will be the strongest in the entire Siberian Far East and the four eastern provinces.

However, when Lao Han and others entered the city and saw the mountains of supplies in Kurkusk, they no longer had any doubts and were very sure that this winter counterattack must have been promoted by their commander.

Chapter 515 Gu Ying Commands the Mao Bear Army

"How long can the Baikalsk troops hold out?"

In Ningji Okamura's command center, Ningji Okamura's face showed a rare look of anxiety.

Ten elite divisions plus three Type C divisions, totaling nearly 300,000 troops, were besieged in Baikalsk. If they could not be rescued in time, the entire Siberian Front could be said to be dead in name only.

"The outer defense line has not been breached yet, but the ammunition consumption is quite high, so airdrops are needed for supplies."

"Where are the reinforcements?"

"It will take at least three days for the joint forces to reach the battlefield!"

"It will take at least four days for us to mobilize the troops from the rear!"

"The Far Eastern Front has arrived by train, but the road is blocked by heavy snow, so they have to walk. We can't guarantee how long it will take, it may take seven days or even longer!"

After the chief of staff summarized the situation of reinforcements from all aspects, he reported to Ningji Okamura.

After hearing this, Ningji Okamura looked at the map with a changeable expression on his face.

"If we send the troops to break out now, will they be able to succeed?"

The chief of staff sighed, shook his head and said, "It's difficult to break out. Once we leave Baikalsk, without the cover of our positions, our troops will suffer heavy casualties. Moreover, we are not as familiar with the surrounding terrain as the Russians!"

"If we encounter bad weather, the entire army might..."

"What about the 171st Division? Can they create a gap from the perimeter?"

At this time, Ningji Okamura thought of the only unit that did not follow his orders, but now it has become the life-saving straw of the entire Siberian Front.

"No news!"

"Baga, these bastards! These Osaka people..."

Ningji Okamura was about to curse a few words, but when he remembered that his chief of staff was from Osaka, he couldn't help but sigh.

This time, the Soviets suffered some serious damage in the Soviet winter counterattack. The loss of nearly a thousand tanks far exceeded the Japanese's ability to bear.

If the Japanese had not received a lot of support from the Far East, Siberia, Southeast Asia, Australia and other places, this wave of losses would have directly defeated the Japanese.

Even if there are enough resources now, it will take the Japanese half a year to recover.

"Report, the Russians' northern army has captured Lekhovsky and is expected to continue southward, with Chita being the most likely target!"

The Northern Army's attack route, the red Russian bear and the blue devil.

Another piece of bad news came from the command center.

The Soviet Union's winter counterattack was a pincer attack, divided into the north and south routes.

Because the northern route is closer to the north and the Arctic Circle, the wind and snow are stronger, there are no decent roads, and there are no railways, so there are only about 50,000 troops.

Similarly, the Japanese defense focus was not on the northern route, but only two divisions of troops were deployed in several cities north of Lake Baikal.

After more than ten days of fighting, the two divisions were defeated and lost about 5,000 people.

"How many of them are there?"

"There should be an army group, about 40,000 to 50,000 people!"

"understood!"

An army group, with only 40,000 to 50,000 people, was not taken seriously by Ningji Okamura. What Ningji Okamura wanted to eat was the army on the southern front, that is, the bear army besieging Baikalsk, with nearly 300,000 people.

As long as the Japanese can wipe out this Soviet army, the Soviets will no longer have the power to fight back in the entire East and West Siberia, and the Japanese can withdraw a large number of troops to plunder resources.

"Report, telegram from the 171st Division!"

"A telegram from the 171st Division? These bastards finally learned to reply to telegrams."

As he spoke, Ningji Okamura took the telegram, but after reading the contents of the telegram, he couldn't help but wonder if there was something wrong with his eyes.

"Commander, what happened?"

Seeing the strange expression on Okamura Neiji's face, the chief of staff asked curiously, and at the same time he was ready to find an excuse to exonerate the 171st Division. After all, it was a division formed by Osaka people, and as an Osaka native, he could not ignore it.

"The 171st Division said they cooperated with the Outer Mongolian Army to capture Kurkusk?"

"Nani?"

Now it was the Japanese chief of staff's turn to be surprised. He took the telegram and read it word by word. Then he walked to the map with some excitement.

"Commander, perhaps our chance has arrived!"

"Chance?"

"Hayi, the loss of Kurkusk is a huge blow to the morale of the Mao Bear Army. This is where their headquarters is located!"

Looking at the excited Chief of Staff, Ningji Okamura nodded in agreement: "The Russians probably didn't expect that the 171st Division would attack Kurkusk. Although we failed to destroy the Russian headquarters, we did achieve significant results. However, the Russians are determined to eat up our main force!"

"Kurkusk was captured, but the Russians didn't even send troops back to support Kurkusk!"

Ningji Okamura looked towards Baikalsk and finally said as if he had made up his mind: "Since the Russian bear has chosen this as the main battlefield, then the ownership of Siberia will be decided here!"
