Rise from the sword

Chapter 162 Taiyuan, here I come!

Xinyituan, Xingjia Village.

"Head, are you handing over the independent regiment's warehouse?"

"Or, Captain Li was dismissed again?"

Cheng He looked at the transport team brought by Ding Wei, he was dumbfounded by the piles of weapons and ammunition on the carriage.

Three hundred soldiers in the new regiment each have a wooden ammunition box on their shoulders. Judging from the tense posture of the soldiers, this box must contain heavy cargo. Thinking about it, this must be the kind of sophisticated weapon and ammunition of the Independence Regiment.

There are also thirty large carts, neatly stacked walnut wood ammunition boxes, and the wooden wheels creaking under pressure. Obviously, these ammunition boxes are full.

The most incredible thing is the carriages in the middle.

The first one, a [-]-type infantry gun, was assembled and placed directly on the carriage. The two-wheeled ammunition transport vehicle was pulled behind and filled with shells.Judging by the number of shells, I'm afraid there are nearly a hundred rounds.

There are also a few cars behind, and on the outside of the two wooden boxes that are much larger than ordinary ammunition boxes, there are a few Chinese characters written - 82 mortars.Outside the smaller boxes stacked together, there is also a logo - 82 mortar anti-personnel grenades.Just a rough estimate, there are no less than [-] rounds of shells.

There is only one possibility that such a large number of weapons were transported by the regiment leader himself. These came from Li Yunlong's independent regiment.It is impossible for the headquarters to allocate so many to the new regiment.

At first, with Li Yunlong's character, so many weapons and ammunition, unless...

"Hahaha····"

Ding Wei was taken aback when he heard the words, and then he laughed loudly: "I earned these weapons and ammunition from Li Yunlong myself, and they are not part of the family property of Chief Li."

"You earned it yourself?"

Cheng He was taken aback.

How do you earn this?
And where did he earn money from the iron cock Li Yunlong?

Ding Wei did not answer this doubt, but directly issued an order for the entire army to set off: "Notify the troops to assemble, and the entire army will set off. This time, our goal is the Liao area."

"Yes."

Cheng He responded loudly.

The Xinyi regiment has been in a state of emergency combat readiness recently, and it only takes half an hour for all the troops to assemble.

Ding Wei stopped Cheng He who was preparing to gather troops:

"Also, call the reserve militia battalion, this time they will go with us."

The reserve militia battalion, the reserve team formed by Ding Wei after he arrived in Xinyi Regiment, the main body is the militia who strongly want to join the army, and the purpose of formation is to replenish the lost soldiers at any time.

The militia battalion and regular troops have the same training programs, but the intensity is slightly weaker. However, due to the shortage of weapons and guns, most soldiers in the militia battalion are equipped with broadswords and spears.

"Militia battalion, they don't have weapons? Why take them?"

Cheng He didn't understand.

It has been more than three months since the militia battalion was formed. After such a long period of training, the soldiers in the battalion have good military capabilities and can be directly supplemented by the three main battalions. But even so, it is useless to take them out without weapons and equipment.

Does it follow the army to supplement the loss, and the recruits pick up the weapons of the fallen veterans?
This battle is so fierce?

"This time I brought [-] [-] caps and [-] Czech machine guns from the Independence Regiment. You send them all to the three main battalions, and then send a batch of poor quality weapons and equipment to the militia battalions. , temporarily organized as an independent battalion, and you will command it."

"Let them participate in actual combat and hone their skills."

Ding Wei was very assured of Chenghe's ability, and directly threw him to command the two battalions.

"Yes!"

Cheng He nodded.

···
"Nani?"

"The people in the Liao area were attacked? Ask for support?"

In a railway depot, Yoshio Shinozuka was very surprised by the news he just received.

If memory serves me, this place...

"map."

He hurriedly called the staff to bring the map.

Spreading out the map of the garrison in Shanxi area, looking at the deployment of the Yuliao area on the map, Yoshio Shinozuka was a little dumbfounded.

"How dare the Eighth Route Army attack here?"

The Yuliao area was originally a densely populated area for the Eighth Route Army. The mountains here are dense and the terrain is dangerous. Therefore, this is also the key area for his cage operations in Shanxi.The North China Front Army sent troops here to build a road extending to the core area of ​​Yuliao, and built a dense group of artillery towers around it.

and!

"Are you sure you are asking for help?"

"This is the area where the Fourth Mixed Brigade is stationed!"

Yoshio Shinozuka suspected that the staff had made a mistake.

When did the Eighth Route Army become so arrogant?
Have you eaten leopard guts?

Dare to attack a brigade station in the empire?There are more than 5000 imperial warriors stationed here.Even that Li Yunlong would not dare to attack a brigade station, would he?

"Hi."

The staff officer put his legs together and bowed his head: "A telegram from Major General Ozawa in the Yuliao area: The Eighth Route Army guerrillas launched an attack on the Yuliao highway. A large number of artillery towers were breached by the enemy. The enemy has a large number of troops. Please ask for military support."

The staff officer read out the telegram exactly.

"idiot."

Yoshio Shinozuka was furious.

These days, he has been in a bad mood.

The Shanxi area is also a high-incidence area for the Eighth Route Army. The surrounding railways are almost destroyed in pieces. Only one is still barely open to traffic, and the others are all destroyed and uprooted.

In order to build these railways, he tried his best to mobilize materials from all over the country. He begged his grandpa to tell his grandma, and finally raised the materials. As a result, the Eighth Route Army started to make trouble again.

Won't these guys get tired?

It's been more than two months!
Can't you stop for a while?
Also, your majestic brigade, more than 5000 imperial troops, was beaten by the Eighth Route Army and asked for help?
waste!

"Order the No.17 Wing to go to Yuliao to support, and the rest of the troops will continue to be stationed and patrol the railway line."

Shinozuka Yoshio gritted his teeth, the veins on the hand holding the samurai sword were exposed.

Yuliao must be rescued. Where is the outpost base? It is a necessary area to erode the opponent's base. It must not be given up. Otherwise, the whole cage strategy will really be a waste of half a year. Will fall into supply difficulties and retreat.

But the railway can’t be relaxed either. The reason why the only single seedling railway survives today is because the heavily armed railway patrols along the road are on guard day and night.All his supplies come by this railway!

In addition, a ton of gold from Taiyuan was also transported back to China by this railway to replenish the dried up imperial treasury.

"Hi!"

The staff officer tremblingly handed over the information and left the military depot.

Inside the military depot, Yoshio Shinozuka was breathing heavily. After taking a few deep breaths, he opened up the information, intending to find out why a dignified brigade urgently called for help in just a few days.

In the intelligence, several pieces of information jumped into Shinozuka Yoshio's eyes.

The enemy appeared a small number of [-]-type infantry artillery, with sufficient shells, which were extremely lethal to the blockhouses and bunkers. The garrison suffered heavy losses when caught off guard.In addition, many new machine guns have appeared in the opponent's troops, and the bullets are relatively sufficient...
"Li Yunlong..."

"And that one named Chen?"

Shinozuka Yoshio's teeth creaked.

···
The night was dark.

"Hahaha, Taiyuan..."

"I am coming."

Outside a hidden mountain forest, which is only five kilometers away from Taiyuan City, Li Yunlong held up his binoculars and looked at the towering Taiyuan City with stars and lights in the darkness in the distance, smiling all over his face.

Behind him, the special squad, the cavalry battalion of the independent regiment, the artillery company, and the newly formed 120-man firepower company all stood in awe.

"It's still five hours before dawn, so we'll set up camp and rest on the spot."

"Send a few people out, hurry up and make a batch of cotton bags, tens of thousands of silver dollars, this is a fortune, including that ton of gold, we must not let go of a single one."

"Yes!"

Stimulated by gold and silver, the morale of the soldiers was high.

"Hey hey..." Li Yunlong was very satisfied with the soldiers' attitude.

"Yansheng."

Li Yunlong called the commander of the artillery company, and told him: "Although you traveled dozens of miles overnight, you still have to work harder. Take it with you to see the devil's airport. Although there is a map, field investigation is indispensable."

"it is good!"

Yansheng can be said to be in high spirits, without any signs of fatigue.

He couldn't wait to bombard the devil's airport.

　No face beep...
