Anti-Japanese War: Li Yunlong dared to attack Taiyuan

Chapter 556 Forward, forward, forward!

"Use the 1st and 2nd Armored Divisions as the assault corps, march south along the railway line and attack White City!"

Ulanhot is called Wangye Temple

"Order Ma Renxin's cavalry column. I want them to arrive in Tongliao within a week and be ready to attack at any time!"

Loyal, Khan of Tongliao

"Order Shen Quan's Chahar Column to abandon the attack on Zhangjiakou and immediately enter the Yanshan Mountains. I don't care what method they use, but they must cross the Yanshan Mountains and arrive near Chaoyang within a week and wait for orders!"

Shenquan Department Route Map

"Order the newly formed 1st to 10th Divisions to form the 1st Corps. The division commander will serve as the corps commander. Rapidly march south along the railway and reach Baicheng within three days. Launch an attack on Baicheng and capture it at all costs!"

"Order the newly formed 11th to 15th Divisions to form the Second Corps, with the brigade commander as the corps commander. Cross the Greater Khingan Mountains and proceed to the vicinity of Qiqihar to await further combat orders."

As shown

"The Second Heilongjiang-Jilin-Liaoning-Chahar Column is waiting for combat orders at Shengshan Fortress!"

"The newly formed 16th to 22nd Divisions will be the Third Corps, serving as the general reserve, commanded by the deputy division commander."

"Order the Air Force to destroy the Japanese airfields in Qiqihar, Harbin, Changchun, and Fengtian before the war begins!"

"The hidden troops continue to hide and wait for orders!"

"All troops must arrive at the designated location before the specified date, otherwise they will be subject to military law!"

"Li Yunlong, repeat it!"

"Yes!"

Li Yunlong glanced at the order and quickly said, "Use the 1st Armored Division and the 2nd Armored Division as the assault corps..."

The division commander looked at the map and said, "Let me add one thing: transfer one of the rocket artillery brigades to Baicheng. After all, this is our first battle, so we need to fight well!"

"Well, it's decided!"

After completing the deployment, everyone stared at the deployed attack plan to confirm that there were no problems. Finally, they said, "Four days from now at twelve o'clock, I will command the battle in White City! Dismissed!"

"Yes!"

During the combat meeting, the combat plan was quickly transmitted to the various units under Li Yunlong's command via radio.

At the headquarters of the newly formed First Division, after receiving the telegram, the division commander Huang Zhiyong glanced at the contents and slammed the table: "Notify all troops to assemble urgently, there is a combat mission!"

"Yes!"

Although it was called the New First Division, it was actually an expansion of Zhang Dabiao's First Regiment. After Zhang Dabiao was transferred to become the commander of the secret forces, Huang Zhiyong became the commander of the First Regiment. Later, he infiltrated Siberia to complete the mission of splitting the Russian bear and was promoted to the commander of the First Division.

The First Division is stationed near Arshan, and its main task is to cooperate with the deputy division commander to train new recruits.

"Emergency gathering!"

"Emergency gathering!"

"..."

In the First Division's barracks, cries for urgent assembly echoed one after another. Accompanied by bursts of rapid whistles, the soldiers, who had been training, rushed to their barracks upon hearing the orders.

"Captain of the First Regiment, the division commander has ordered all officers above the battalion level in the First Regiment to go to the division headquarters for a meeting. There are combat missions!"

In the First Regiment of the First Division, Long Wenjian had just packed his belongings.

"Yes!"

As he spoke, he checked his weapons and trotted towards the division headquarters not far away.

At this time, the commanders of several other regiments of the 1st Division also rushed to the division headquarters.

"What's going on? Emergency assembly, and a combat mission. Who are we going to fight this time?"

Second Regiment Commander Chen Wei asked curiously. Chen Wei was one of the first seven people to reach the city during the Battle of Datong.

"I don't know, just follow orders!"

Before the Third Regiment Commander finished speaking, Huang Zhiyong had already hurried into the headquarters. Everyone was about to stand, but Huang Zhiyong simply held his hand down and said, "No time for nonsense. I just received an order from headquarters."

Huang Zhiyong glanced around after he finished speaking and said, "Command from headquarters, our newly formed 1st Division and the newly formed 2nd to 10th Divisions are to form the 1st Corps. The division commander will serve as the commander of the 1st Corps. Depart immediately for Baicheng. Within three days, no matter what means are used, Baicheng must be captured!"

"This is a death order. We only have three days. Baicheng is 350 kilometers away, including 40 kilometers of mountain roads. Even with train transportation, time is very tight. Commander Gu will lead the battle in Baicheng in four days, leaving us with little time. Comrades, it takes a thousand days to train an army, but only a moment to deploy it. The time to test us has come. We must take Baicheng at all costs!"

"I don't think I need to explain to you all why we're attacking Baicheng. Many of you are from the Four Eastern Provinces. Today, I'm telling you clearly that we're going to counterattack the Four Eastern Provinces!"

"Leave the baggage to the logistics troops, and the combat troops carry three days' rations and a basic amount of ammunition. The train is ready, and the vanguard is marching on foot 50 kilometers from Baicheng. Once you're ready, set off immediately. Upon arrival at Baicheng, launch an immediate attack. I want to see the flag of our First Division flying first on the top of Baicheng!"

"The meeting is dismissed!"

"Yes!"

Huang Zhiyong finished speaking and quickly left the headquarters. Time was short, the mission was heavy, and there was no time to waste. Huang Zhiyong needed to immediately coordinate logistics and plan a marching route.

After the meeting, the other regimental commanders quickly left the command center and returned to their own regimental headquarters.

Mi Long, the battalion commander next to Long Wenjian, had been following Long Wenjian all the time, but at this moment his whole body was trembling.

"Zhang Milong!"

"Zhang Milong!"

After arriving at the regimental headquarters, Long Wenjian called out twice before Milong finally reacted and suddenly raised his head to look at Long Wenjian. Before Long Wenjian could speak, Milong spoke first, "Captain, our battalion, let us be the vanguard!"

"What the hell are you talking about!"

"Commander, let our battalion go. We are all men from the Northeast, and they've always dreamed of counterattacking the four eastern provinces. Today is finally the day we've been waiting for, and we must let our battalion be the vanguard. Commander, I promise you, our battalion will be the first to capture Baicheng and the first to enter the four eastern provinces!"

Long Wenjian looked at Milong and wanted to say something, but he didn't speak. He nodded vigorously and said, "Okay, your battalion will be the vanguard of our regiment and will be the first to set off!"

"Thank you, Captain!"

After Milong finished speaking, he suddenly turned around and rushed towards the camp of the first battalion.

At this time, all the soldiers in the first battalion's camp had assembled and were waiting for the order to set off. Seeing Milong coming, the company commanders all looked at Milong, and many soldiers also stared at Milong, wanting to know from Milong what the specific combat mission was.

The first battalion had a total of 800 people, spread across four companies, nearly half of whom were from the four eastern provinces. They were currently in Arxan, separated from the northeast by only the Greater Khingan Range.

Now there is a combat mission, and everyone is looking forward to the combat mission being a counterattack on the four eastern provinces.

They trained hard every day, waiting for the moment to counterattack the four eastern provinces.

Milong's body had been trembling just now, but when he stood before the First Battalion, he calmed down considerably. Glancing at his comrades below, he trembled and said, "Comrades, we have received orders from our superiors to incorporate our division into the First Corps. We are now beginning our combat mission. Our objective is Baicheng!"

"Our battalion is the vanguard of our regiment and will be the first to set off. I have already promised the regimental commander that we will be the first to capture Baicheng and the first to enter the four eastern provinces! Do you have the confidence?"

Upon hearing this, there was a deep silence below, and then a loud cheer broke out: "Yes! Yes! Yes!"

"set off!"

"Forward, forward, forward..."

……

Chapter 557 My Home is in the Northeast, on the Songhua River

"Quick, quick!"

"Follow!"

"Don't fall behind, keep up!"

"quick!"

"Hurry up, keep up, keep up!"

"..."

In the Arshan military camp, Zhang Milong led his battalion and quickly rushed out of the camp. Their target was the Arshan railway station.

Meanwhile, at the Arxan railway station, the logistics team had already loaded the baggage onto the train. Mountain artillery and 107mm rocket launchers were placed on carts, with a series of train cars in front of them.

"First Battalion, over here, these four carriages are yours. One by one, squeeze in and get on board!"

"Hurry up, if you can't keep up with the bus, don't get on!"

"Hurry up!"

The logistics director of the First Division had been waiting at the train station. When he saw Milong and others, he quickly opened the carriage door and signaled the First Battalion to get on board.

"Get in the car!"

Milong waved his hand and jumped onto the first carriage. Then he turned around and held out his hand. The soldiers behind him quickly grabbed Milong's hand and rushed onto the carriage. Soon, the originally empty carriage was filled with soldiers.

The train car was completely silent, as the soldiers silently checked their weapons and ammunition. Some of the men from Northeast China pulled out treasured photos, their eyes fixed on them. The photos showed their parents and their homes, but after the Japanese invaders arrived, everything was gone, leaving them alone.

"Woooooooo..."

The train whistle blew, a puff of white smoke billowed out, and the train slowly started to move. The first train, carrying a regiment of troops, headed towards Baicheng.

There was a railway in Arxan, but after Li Yunlong occupied it, the trains stopped running there. Later, Li Yunlong's troops extended their control all the way to Wangye Temple, which is now known as Ulanhot. It is more than 80 kilometers away from Baicheng.

As the train started moving, through the carriage door, you could see that the earth outside was already lush and green, presenting a scene full of vitality and flourishing things.

"My home is on the Songhua River in Northeast China..."

A soldier looked out the window at the scenery and began to hum softly. Soon, more and more soldiers joined in.

"There are mountains and fields full of soybeans and sorghum"

"Beside the green mountains and clear waters"

"Two big poplar trees in front of the door"

"Neatly Fenced Yard"

"A small thatched house"

"..."

The loud singing voice drifted to the northeast with the wind, passed through the Greater Khingan Range, and reached the black land.

Amidst the sound of the wind, the shouts of the Northeastern men could be faintly heard.
