Anti-Japanese War: Li Yunlong dared to attack Taiyuan

Li Yunlong was preparing in an orderly manner, waiting for the opportunity to come.

The opportunity that Li Yunlong and others were waiting for was the Japanese spring counterattack plan.

……

……

Does anyone know about the incident where the leader drew a pig’s head while giving a speech?

Chapter 542 The True Fighting Nation

"Has the devil not taken action yet?"

Time has quietly come to May, but it is surprisingly quiet here in Siberia.

The Russian reinforcements have arrived in Chita and other areas.

This time, the Russians were not careless, but began to build various defensive fortifications to prepare for the Japanese attack.

The reinforcements totaled 300,000. Li Yunlong met with Jiaqi midway and observed the reinforcements. The soldiers were obviously much older than the previous Russian soldiers.

Originally, most of the soldiers in the Russian army were under 30 years old, but among this group, Li Yunlong saw many people with gray hair. Judging from their age, some of them may have participated in the First World War.

Although Li Yunlong has always been calculating against the Russians, he never denied the contribution of the Russians in World War II. According to various statistics in later generations, the casualties of the Russians were calculated to be around 30 million.

But when all the reports are added together, this number is clearly too low. The Soviets lost about 26 million people, with another 15 million injured and over 5 million missing.

At that time, the population of Russia was only about 180 million. It can be said that a generation or even two generations were completely wiped out. This also caused a serious shortage of young and middle-aged people in Russia after the war, and the situation did not recover even in the 21st century.

Compared to the Americans, the Mao Bear generation is worthy of respect. However, from the perspective of his own country and nation, Li Yunlong will not be soft-hearted towards the Mao Bear because of this respect.

The people Li Yunlong left behind at the rear headquarters were actually bait to lure out some fish. Li Yunlong released important scientists such as Tupolev and others into Black Cloud Mountain.

Hearing the division commander's question, Li Yunlong pointed to the road under his feet and said, "The Japanese are more anxious than us. Their reconnaissance planes fly every day. Seeing the Russians repairing all kinds of fortifications, they must be cursing. But this road is impossible to go!"

It is now the snowmelt season in Siberia. The winter snow is melting, bringing green to the earth, but it also makes the roads muddy.

Apart from those roads that have been built, many roads are now impassable, not to mention pedestrians, even tanks can get stuck in them.

"Although the road is blocked, we can let them adapt to the rhythm of war in advance. I have sent a telegram to Gastilovich, asking him to bomb the Japanese airport in advance to gain the upper hand when the war begins."

After Li Yunlong finished speaking, he couldn't help but sigh. Many people in later generations said that the Russians were a fighting nation, which was completely nonsense.

In the entire world, except for the Chinese, all foreigners, except those who have received professional military training, do not know one truth: before the troops move, the food and supplies must go first.

Chinese people, both men and women, know some strategies, some of "The Art of War" and "Thirty-Six Stratagems". They know that if they cannot win a frontal battle, they should attack the logistics troops, use the terrain to ambush, launch a pincer attack, surround the enemy on three sides and leave one side open, etc.

This is a gene ingrained in us. Even children who have never learned anything will use it when playing games, so it's not uncommon to find people working as engineers during the day and serving as military advisors to warlords at night.

However, foreign soldiers and officers have no such concept at all. Their military literacy is even worse than that of ordinary people in China. They only know how to carry out the tasks assigned to them.

Some trained officers will also dogmatically implement some of the tactics they have learned.

If you don't understand what I mean, a simpler analogy is blitzkrieg. When Germany launched its blitzkrieg, the entire European continent was shocked and the people were devastated by this blitzkrieg.

But thousands of years ago, an eighteen-year-old boy learned this trick, and it was carried forward by countless people in later generations.

However, our various tactics such as outflanking, small-scale infiltration, etc., which are known to ordinary soldiers, are all unfathomable tactics in their eyes.

At the beginning, when Li Yunlong was communicating with Gastilovich and some of his generals, he thought they were hiding their incompetence. Later, he found out that they were not hiding their incompetence, but that these Russian generals had serious shortcomings in tactics except for the use of various weapons and arms.

There are templates for attack and defense. Generals who have never been on the battlefield would never consider luring the enemy deep into their territory, concentrating their forces to break through and then conduct a large-scale detour and encirclement. Even if they were to have a flash of inspiration one day, they would exclaim, "This is genius!"

As for ordinary soldiers, they would not have any tactics or sudden flashes of inspiration, nor would they perform the feat of three people surrounding an entire battalion.

This is also why soldiers and officers who receive medals on battlefields such as the European continent often do so because of their courage and courage to fight. However, those of us who receive medals for meritorious service are all gods. They have achieved results that even their entire battalion dare not even dream of, and the application of tactics and strategies are ingrained in their bones.

Moreover, most Chinese people do not realize that the abilities that we take for granted are unbelievable to foreigners.

Just like a poor online writer in China can think of tactics and conduct war game simulations, in other countries, unless the officers are retired, they don’t even have the concept of tactics in their minds.

As for their military-related books, they can basically be understood as guides to weapon use or guides to reviewing battle tactics, and there is no mention of military strategy at all.

This is not really to discredit foreigners, but the fact. Just like some of the bad things done by Ermao and Damao, we ordinary people can see them clearly, but foreigners cannot understand them.

Look at the situation in later generations and look through our history. These are all things our ancestors played thousands of years ago. We can find examples of the rest, both good and bad.

So after receiving Li Yunlong's telegram, the Russians took the lead in taking action.

From the rebuilt airports in Chita and other areas, planes began to take off and prepare to fight for air supremacy.

But the effect is not very obvious.

The planes in the Japanese airports will take off in advance and go into the air to deal with the Russian Air Force.

"It seems the Japanese have started using radar too. When will our radar station be operational?"

Radar is no longer a secret. After John Bull began to use it, the German III also began to develop and use it. Now that the Japanese have been deeply tied to the German III, they have also begun to use it on a small scale.

"Our first batch of radar stations will take several days to complete. They've all been built behind the Greater Khingan Range and are expected to be able to detect airspace around 150 kilometers. However, the technicians say there are still some technical hurdles, and they could misjudge if they encounter large birds."

After listening to Old Xing's answer, Li Yunlong looked at Old Xing carefully. Since Li Chuan and Zhang Wanhe came, Old Xing's burden had obviously been lightened a lot, and he looked a lot younger now.

The logistics department was now divided into three parts. After studying with Old Xing for a while, Li Chuan began to take on the main responsibility. He was originally responsible for the entire logistics work of our army, so he got the hang of it quickly.

Zhang Wanhe is responsible for the logistics of artillery shells.

Lao Xing is responsible for the logistics work of infrastructure.

The three people have clear division of labor, and work efficiency has been greatly improved.

"Well, we also need to build a few in Outer Mongolia, and one at our rear headquarters."

Li Yunlong was waiting for the Japanese to attack.

The Japanese were also holding heated discussions among themselves.

"Commander, attack! The soldiers are getting frustrated with the repeated delays."

The Japanese originally planned to launch an attack in early April and had already made preparations for the attack.

However, it was soon discovered that the roads were muddy. Except for the Trans-Siberian Railway, which could still operate normally, the rest of the roads were completely impassable and vehicles and tanks would get stuck.

Even if we force our way in, the logistics won't be able to keep up.

So the attack time was delayed.

It is now early May and has been postponed three times.

Many lower-level soldiers are already somewhat dissatisfied.

Especially when hundreds of thousands of troops gathered together and it was the transition from spring to winter, many Japanese soldiers in the military camps had fallen ill, and the number was gradually increasing.

"Just wait a little longer. We've already contacted local people and meteorological experts. It'll take at most half a month, and the road will be open to traffic by late May."

Mei Jing Meijiro was also very worried at this time. The attack last year was in July, and there was no such problem at that time. Moreover, this problem was also ignored when the battle plan was formulated. As a result, the battle plan was delayed again and again.

"The plague in the military camp."

"Gather the sick soldiers together, form a medical team, wear gas masks, and ensure that there is no large-scale spread!"

"Hai!"

"Does the sick soldier need medical treatment?"

There were quite a few sick devils, already tens of thousands. Mei Jing Meijiro glanced at the adjutant beside him and said, "Right now, the Imperial Army needs to transport the supplies needed for the attack to the front line as quickly as possible. There is no way to transport more medicine."

"May Amaterasu bless them! May His Majesty the Heavenly Locust bless them!"

"Hayi!"

……

……

……

The word "Chuan" is composed of three characters standing up. Let's learn about it.

Also, I often travel abroad, and the gap between foreigners and ordinary people like us is really huge. We ordinary people are really far ahead in many areas. It is not an exaggeration at all. After demystification, we are really just a bunch of people!

Chapter 543: The Problem of Outer Ili

"Commander Sun, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. It's taken you all so long to finally meet me. I'm really sorry!"

In the Bayantumen recruit camp, Li Yunlong met the captured Sun Lanfeng, Commander Yuan and Commander An.

These three people belonged to the 35th Army and had fought against the Japanese before. Li Yunlong did not have much ill will towards them. During the time they were captured by Li Yunlong's troops, Li Yunlong did not abuse them, but treated them well with good food and drink.

However, the soldiers under their command have already undergone ideological transformation and have now become members of the Heilongjiang-Jilin-Liaoning-Chahar Military Region.

"General Li Yunlong, I've long heard of your great name. I wonder how long you're going to keep us imprisoned?"

When they saw Li Yunlong coming, Commander Sun and others did not give Li Yunlong a good look.

Li Yunlong knew that these three people had tempers, but he did not lose his temper. He just smiled and said, "Commander Sun, please forgive me, please forgive me. This requires confidentiality. If I let you go, you will leak the news to the Russians and the Japanese, and our efforts will be wasted!"

After hearing this, the three of them relaxed a little. They also learned some things during this period.

For example, Li Yunlong cheated on subsidies from both sides and obtained a lot of weapons and equipment. Moreover, Li Yunlong did fight against the Japanese and controlled Outer Mongolia.

Therefore, they did not have a strong resistance to Li Yunlong.

"So General Li Yunlong is going to release us now? Isn't he afraid that we'll tell others?"

Li Yunlong looked at the three people and said seriously, "I came here this time to discuss something important with you three."

"I, Li Yunlong, am also familiar with the pasts of the three of you. You are all people who are willing to sacrifice your lives for your country and your nation. I, Li Yunlong, admire you."

Hearing Li Yunlong's praise, the three people remained silent and waited for Li Yunlong to continue.

"I'm looking for you three this time because I have some small things that need your help."

"General Li Yunlong, we are your prisoners now. Do you still need our help?"

Li Yunlong nodded, opened a map and said, "Everyone, this is the previous territory of our country, and this is the current territory."

"I'm stirring up trouble in Outer Mongolia and in Siberia because I want our country to regain some of the places it lost before."

The three of them knew that Li Yunlong was ambitious, but they didn't expect his ambition to be so big.

"The Russians and the Japanese are about to go to war again. This time the Russians will definitely lose, and the Japanese will completely drive them out of East and West Siberia. I will take these areas back from the Japanese, but!"

Li Yunlong pointed to the area of ​​Far Xinjiang and said, "But our Northwest King has betrayed national interests, colluded with the Russians, and even hung the six-star flag. I absolutely cannot tolerate such a person."
