Rise from the sword

Chapter 124 Is the devil floating, or am I, Li Yunlong, unable to lift the knife?
"A large number of devils have entered Shou County?"

"The number is more than a thousand?"

Hearing the news from Wang Gensheng, Li Yunlong's pupils shrank, and the bowl full of wine in his hand stopped in mid-air.

On the opposite side of the kang table, Zhao Gang, who was pouring wine for himself, was also at a standstill. He slowly put down the bottle of sweet potato shochu in his hand, and turned to look at Wang Gensheng, who was panting, with a serious expression on his face.

A large number of devils stationed in Shou County.

This is not good news.

A brigade of devils was stationed in Shou County, controlling the surrounding villages and towns, which had always been a hindrance to the continued expansion of the base area. This time so many devils came to Shou County, they realized that something was wrong.

The straight-line distance between Yangcun and Shouxian is only more than 60 miles, but the mountain roads are winding and rugged. If you walk, the distance between the two places is about [-] miles, but it only takes a day to march quickly.

The devil is afraid that he is going to prepare some action against the base area!

This is the common thought of the two.

"Correct!"

Glancing greedily at the bowl of wine in the leader's hand, Wang Gensheng took a sip of the water in his own kettle, calmed down his shortness of breath, and continued:
"According to the news from the observation post in Shouxian County, a large number of devils entered Shouxian County this morning. The number of people is estimated to be no less than 1000. There are also a large number of trucks and nearly a hundred horse-drawn carts in the team, and the carts are full. Supplies."

"Observers also found that there are four cannons in the devil's team, but the cannons are covered with gun coats, so they can't see clearly, but they are much larger than the Type 75 infantry cannons! It is speculated that they are [-] mountain cannons."

Wang Gensheng's words made Zhao Gang and Li Yunlong's expressions more solemn.

More than 1000 people, a full-stack brigade of devils.

Four mountain cannons, a full squadron of mountain cannons.

If the information is true, then those who came to Shou County must be an elite full-staffed Japanese brigade.

Now that the war has been fought, the devils are also exhausted.

Little Japan, which is severely understrength, has only 600 to 92 people in an ordinary brigade, which is less than half of the full establishment. Generally, a brigade is only equipped with one or two [-] infantry guns, or two mountain guns, and its firepower is not as good as it was at the beginning. .

For example, the Heidao Brigade in Yuanshou County has only more than 600 people and two 92 infantry artillery.

Today, only the most elite army of devils can be fully staffed.These teams are either permanent divisions or elite second-line divisions.

"What do you do after the devil arrives?"

Li Yunlong put down the wine in his hand.

The wine is brewed by the people of Yangcun.

The whole group ate meat for dinner, Li Yunlong invited the whole village to eat together, and many villagers also gave the independent group a lot of local products, including more than a dozen bottles of sweet potatoes.

"Is the number confirmed?"

Zhao Gang asked whether the news was accurate.

"The devils started camping as soon as they arrived, and it's almost certain that this group of devils plans to camp here."

Wang Gensheng continued.

As a senior scout, he will naturally collect information in detail.

"The number of people can be determined, it is only a lot more than 1000 people."

"The devil-controlled villages and towns around Shou County have received orders to provide food and supplies. The quantity is huge, which can almost sustain the consumption of thousands of people for a month. Moreover, the so-called maintenance presidents and puppet troops in each village have stepped up their vigilance."

"As for other actions, the only thing I have heard so far is that the devil intends to build a gun tower on Xiangshuitan."

The devil came for only one day, and Wang Gensheng had to rush back. Time was limited, and he didn't get much news.

"Sound Water Beach..."

Li Yunlong found a map and found out the place name.

"This is our territory."

The location of Xiangshui Village on the map made Li Yunlong's eyes dim: "Xiangshuitan is about [-] miles away from Shou County, and [-] miles away from Yang Village. This village is our new base developed recently."

Although there is a devil's nail in Shou County, which hinders the further development of the base area, there are two basic groups around Shou County, the Independent Regiment and the New First Regiment, which are not inferior to the main force regiment. Although the development speed of the base area is slow, it is still expanding slowly. .

Zhao Gang also came over and looked at the map:

"Xiangshuitan is about five miles away from the end of the road built by the devil. It seems that the devil plans to extend the road to my base."

Zhao Gang saw the devil's purpose at a glance.

A blockhouse cannot exist in isolation, it must be close to the road for the devils to support, at least not too far away, otherwise even if the Eighth Route Army lacks siege weapons, the devils in the blockhouse will always have to eat, drink, and scatter, besieged for three to five days, or digging and attacking can always pull out one Fortresses, or to fight for aid, if there is no road, the devils will be very passive from time to time.

This is the lesson of the devils' blood in the past few years.

"Build a blockhouse on the labor-management site? Don't ask the labor-management agreement!"

Li Yunlong slapped the table with a slap, and sneered: "Is he a devil, or is it that I, Li Yunlong, can't lift a knife?"

Li Datuan continued to plagiarize Chen Fan's Internet terms shamelessly.

Then, he continued to say to Wang Gensheng:
"Gen Sheng, you continue to investigate the movement of these devils tomorrow. You'd better find out what they're going to do next. There are nearly a hundred carts of supplies. A full brigade of devils is stationed in Shou County. It's impossible to build a mere blockhouse." .”

"Yes!"

Wang Gensheng nodded, and continued to look greedily at the wine bowl in Li Yunlong's hand.

"Ha ha···"

Leader Li laughed, and handed a bowl of wine to Wang Gensheng: "Come on. The investigation has been hard. Here is a bowl. I will go to the cooking class to eat meat later. I left a big pot full for your scouting team."

"okay!"

Wang Gensheng took the sweet potatoes with a smile on his face, and the bowl was dry without leaking a single drop.

After drinking it up and cleaning it up, Wang Gensheng happily greeted his commando members to run to the cafeteria.

······
Shou County.

Inside the Japanese Army Headquarters.

The former commander of the Japanese army stationed in Shou County, Kuroshima, lowered his head and looked at the highest officer in Xinshou County who was sitting on the chair in front of him at this time——No.20 Sixth Division, No.30 Third Regiment, Deputy Co-leader, Lieutenant Assistant of the Empire of Japan, Ozawa Taizumi.

The 33rd Regiment of the Japanese Army, that is, the full-staffed infantry regiment of the Japanese Army stationed in Yangquan, the commander of the regiment, Shinji Kozuo, was the regiment that Li Yunlong had beaten up before.

The former leader of Shou County, now the fourth younger brother of Shou County, bowed his head docilely at this time, standing with several other officers and bowing his head to wait for orders, but there was dissatisfaction hidden deep in his eyes, but he didn't show it.

The earth emperor was so flattered that he suddenly parachuted three high-ranking officials, and everyone was upset.

It's a pity that the people who come here have too strong backgrounds.

Although this deputy captain is also a lieutenant assistant, after all, he bears the title of a deputy captain, and his position is higher than him. As soon as he came, he was assigned to this commander, and he became an adult subordinate. As for the other two, even It's just that the Major, whose rank is lower than him, but these two have deep backgrounds, one belongs to the intelligence agency directly under the First Army, and the other belongs to the Special High-Tech Division.

According to the order of the First Army Headquarters, he had full authority to cooperate with the work of these two people, and he had to fully implement all the requirements of these two without any delay or deduction.

Many people in Hei Dao were very angry, but they could only obey orders obediently.

The first-level official crushed people to death!

In the headquarters, the deputy captain of the 33rd Wing, Ozawa Taizumi, pointed at the map on the wall, commanding and deploying in high spirits:
"Gentlemen, according to the order of General Ningji Okamura, in this battle, we will block and cut off the so-called base areas of the Eighth Route Army with roads and forts, cut off their connections, block their material exchanges, destroy their farmland, and cut off their traffic. Food passages, trap them to death and starve to death..."

On the map hanging on the wall behind him, the positions of the pre-planned gun towers and roads were marked, densely covered with various traffic arteries and villages around Shou County.

"In addition, there is another important task on this trip, to find out where Li Yunlong and his independent group are."

"This is a direct order from Yoshio Shinozuka, Commander of the First Army, and the two of you will go all out."

The last two sentences were addressed to the two majors in intelligence.

When it came to Li Yunlong, the captain of the Zhongzuo United had dark eyes full of hatred.

This is Li Yunlong!
It was him who wiped out nearly 33 imperial warriors from the [-]rd Regiment in the north of Yangquan, which made the First Army lose face, and he was severely punished by his superiors many times.After all, it was the deputy captain of the Ozawa Duoquan who was in charge of the defense north of Yangquan at that time.

Wait until you find Li Yunlong, hum!

There was a flash of light in Ozawa Duoquan's eyes.

"Hi!"

The two majors nodded yes.

Multivariate Ozawa continued:

"After all the materials are in place, the brigades will act on the scale of the squadron to build fortresses at each road intersection. In addition, they will recruit the Jina people from each village and order them to build roads with all their strength. We must complete the scheduled plan as soon as possible."

This sentence was addressed to many people in Hei Dao, the squadron leaders, and several puppet army officers who came to the meeting.

"Hi!"

Without hesitation, many people on the Black Island responded directly.

But he was sneering in his heart.

Squadron Scale Acting Individually...
snort!
What you are facing is Li Yunlong, the one who killed the Bantian United Squad, killed the Bantian United Captain, attacked Shuangfeng Town, and previously ambushed and wiped out a Kwantung Army squadron around Taiyuan.

Dare to act alone on the scale of a squadron.

court death!

Moreover, the other Eighth Route Army nearby is not easy to deal with... Many people in Heidao remembered the Eighth Route Army that had besieged his fort twice before. According to the incident in Yangquan, this regiment was obviously not an independent regiment.

"Your Excellency, Captain, it is the spring planting season for those people, and now they are recruited to build roads, which is the same as General Gangcun..."

Next to many people in Hei Dao, a staff officer said hesitantly.

To build roads, a large number of Zhina people must be recruited, and now it is the spring plowing period, which will destroy the cultivation, which will cause a large number of Zhina people to die of famine.

It used to be fine.

But recently, Okamura Ningji, the supreme commander of the North China Front Army, issued an order prohibiting the imperial army from massacring only those people at will, and it is necessary to show a friendly attitude between the two countries.

This is a clear violation of the order.

"Humph!"

Ozawa Duanyuan sneered, and looked at the staff officer with cold eyes, his tone didn't care:
"The reason why some people in their so-called base areas dared to resist the imperial army was because of the support of the Eighth Route Army. As long as the Eighth Route Army is eliminated, these peasants who only take money will naturally become good citizens."

Moreover, treating Zhina people kindly is only a process and a means, and the final result is to eliminate the Eighth Route Army.

Withdrawing his gaze, Ozawa Multivariate continued:
"In addition, each squadron should strengthen their vigilance when building fortresses this time. It is said that the Li Yunlong Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army near here is very powerful. Hmph, there was a record of completely annihilating an empire. I don't want our First Army to do the same. This happened."

Ozawa Duanyuan naturally knew Li Yunlong's name, and properly reminded the squadrons to strengthen their vigilance.

However, he still insisted on operating on the scale of the squadron. He always believed that most of the reasons why Li Yunlong killed the Sakata United Squad, including the Sakata United Squad, were probably due to their own arrogance and carelessness.

As for the squadron of the Kwantung Army, the flower of the imperial army is nothing more than a superficial appearance, and the commander is so useless that he charged on the flat ground against the firepower of others.

idiot!

"Hi!"

Many people in Hei Dao were still the first to bow their heads.

As one of the few low-level officers in the Japanese army who maintained their rationality, many people in Kuroshima saw the problems in this Ozawa's multiple orders at a glance.

He has already submitted the information.The enemy has elite shooters who can hit machine gunners 500 meters away at night, a large number of powerful grenades, a large number of machine guns, and powerful mortars with a range of more than three kilometers.

This guy is so hardheaded...

Still so impatient, rushing to divide the troops into action.

After building a defensive position, the defensive capability of a squadron has indeed improved a lot, and it is unlikely that it will be completely wiped out by the opponent's regiment-level troops of more than 1000 people in an hour.

But my imperial army is in the open, and the enemy is in the dark...

However, he also knew that for such an arrogant and arrogant officer, his opinion would not only have no meaning, but would also be scolded.

"Protect the car from being blown up by the enemy."

Finally, Ozawa looked at the people in Hei Dao and added something.

Many people in Hei Dao lowered their heads and remained silent.

Not long ago, two of his trucks were blown up by the Eighth Route Army...

······
"The little devil is planning to build a gun tower on the edge of our base?"

In the new regiment, Ding Wei, who was inspecting the newly arrived 82 mortars, raised his eyebrows when he heard the news.

"Correct!"

Cheng He's tone was calm.

"interesting!"

Putting down an 83 mortar shell in his hand, Ding Wei brought the map with a smile.

Li Yunlong's 82 mortars, 150 rounds of mortar, and 2 tons of meat all arrived, which made Ding Wei very happy, and felt that the cavalry company borrowed it was a good deal.

And, after a meal of canned meat, he felt it was a better deal.

good to eat!

In the future, when Li Yunlong comes to borrow troops, he must get more.

"Sounding water beach?"

"Isn't this Li Yunlong's new territory?"

After seeing the location of the devil's blockhouse on the map, Ding Wei felt even happier: "Interesting!"

After looking at the map for a while, Ding Wei suddenly said:

"Continuing the notice, all troops have increased their vigilance, and the light and dark posts in each village have also been strengthened. I am afraid that the devils have made a big move recently."

"Yes"

After Cheng He finished speaking, he went directly to arrange work.
