Rise from the sword

Chapter 316 It must be Li Yunlong who did it
It has only been an hour since the telegram was received.

5 minutes to be exact...
Squinting at the clock hanging on the back wall, Kazuki Yamamoto silently answered his general's order in his heart.

It is indeed too fast.

Not even close to being right.

In any case, the siege battle cannot be so fast. Unless Li Yunlong has a large-caliber siege artillery that can directly and destructively destroy the city wall fortifications in Shou County, otherwise the logic and process will not make sense. It's coming soon.

According to Ito Kotaro's report, Li Yunlong was still building bunkers and fortifications when he sent the telegram, and did not launch an attack.When it was reported afterwards that the city gate was breached, there was no mention of heavy artillery.

This shows that the city gate of Shou County probably fell within half an hour.

With the defense level of Shou County, the city gate was breached so quickly, unless something went wrong inside.

Infiltration tactics of a small group of troops... Yamamoto narrowed his eyes and guessed the possibility.

In a well-defended county, it is far easier to attack from the inside than from the outside, and although everyone knows this truth, internal loopholes will inevitably appear.

At this time, the staff officer who just came in was still looking at Yoshio Shinozuka eagerly, he was waiting for an order.

After taking a deep breath and suppressing the shock in his heart, the corners of Shinozuka Yoshio's eyes twitched, and he really didn't know what to do for a while.

According to common sense, if the gate of a county is breached, the enemy has already broken into the county, and it is an unimportant county, so it should not be supported. He should issue an order to withdraw the troops going to support.

After all, it takes thousands of troops hundreds of miles away to support, and it takes a lot of supplies, and it takes several hours. It also requires that there is no enemy blocking halfway. If someone blocks and makes trouble, I am afraid there will be losses.

He should announce Ming Ning and let the reinforcements who had just left the city retreat.

But Shou County fell too quickly.

Soon he hesitated for a moment.

Should Dajun go and see?

Moreover, he was very reluctant to give up a county seat to Li Yunlong, who still didn't have much loss.

Taking the county so quickly, Li Yunlong's final loss will definitely not be big.

Although this is just a county that has no effect on the locust army, it is also a county and an economic center in a region that can provide a lot of supplies and is an excellent and stable rear. After Li Yunlong gets it, his strength will probably be greatly improved. , and taking down a county seat is also a huge revitalization of its prestige and reputation. It can attract more people to join its Eighth Route Army, and it will be even more difficult to deal with it in the future.

Do you want to take advantage of Li Yunlong's unstable foothold and send troops to snatch it back?
However, even if Li Yunlong's foothold was not stable, the No.30 Third Division he sent, as well as the army in two county towns, were also not ready to attack the city. , I am afraid that he will pay a big price, after all, Li Yunlong's strength is not weak.

Not to mention, there are solid bunkers and fortifications in Shou County, and his 33rd Regiment does not have heavy siege weapons.

Should the support troops come back, or...he was hesitating.

"Immediately send a telegram to ask, how did the Eighth Route Army break through the county so quickly?"

After thinking for a while, Shinozuka Yoshio ordered.

In Ito Kotaro's telegram for help, there was no detailed explanation of how Li Yunlong broke through the city gate, and he was very curious about it.

······
While Yoshio Shinozuka was hesitating, the rest of the place could be described as wild.

Headquarters.

In the staff department, Staff Mo immediately learned that the devils from Shou County, Xiyang, and Meng County came out in full force. Trucks and motorcycles entered the battle, carrying all the heavy weapons, and rushed towards Shou County.

A look ready to start a war.

"What did Li Yunlong do again?"

Without any hesitation, Staff Officer Mo said in a positive tone immediately.

The No. 30 triple brigade of devils in Shou County, Xiyang and the two brigades of Meng County, with a total of nearly [-] devils, are enough to launch a big mopping up. The appearance of rushing towards Shou County must be Li Yunlong again. Something happened.

Otherwise, who would let the little devil rush to Shou County in such a hurry?

"I don't know, but the little devil must have suffered, otherwise he wouldn't have marched in such a hurry."

The other staff officer on the side was equally affirmative.

"That's for sure."

Suddenly, the staff department was full of laughter.

For more than a year, ever since that mysterious man Chen Fan appeared, Captain Li has made great strides all the way, raiding military depots for five hundred miles, ambushing Kwantung Army squadrons, robbing Taiyuan of gold, bombarding Taiyuan Airport, and robbing military ranks... ·Although a series of various actions caught the headquarters by surprise, they were in a hurry and their heads were as big as a fight.

After all, every time Li Yunlong acts, it will cause changes in the overall situation, and they have to adjust to deal with it.

The current situation in Jindi is that a single hair will affect the whole body.

But, in comparison, the little devil couldn't sleep at night and was worried.

After all, every time Commander Li made a move, the little devil would bleed profusely and suffer heavy losses. If he wanted to eliminate Li Yunlong, a full-stacked Type-A division brigade returned home, and even the tanks were destroyed and seized.

Although they are not in a good state, being in a hurry and being caught off guard is much better than worrying and not being able to sleep at night.

"However, it will take at least a day to figure out what Li Yunlong did, so what should we do?"

Staff Officer Luo said inquiringly.

Although the decision is made by the military chiefs, they need to provide intelligence to attack the boss and others to make decisions.

"Five thousand devils, this is not a small number, and they also carry a lot of heavy weapons. What if this group of devils didn't come for Li Yunlong and suddenly turned to rush into the base area, then..."

Staff Officer Mo's tone was a little dignified.

Speculation is speculation, even if they are 90.00% sure that these devils are going after Li Yunlong, it must be Li Yunlong who did something to force the army of little devils to dispatch, but commanding an army and maintaining a base must not be relied on. speculate.

"Yeah, we have to be prepared too."

The other chief of staff sighed.

Even if the possibility is extremely small, you must be fully prepared to deal with it.

"I don't know what that bastard Li Yunlong did?"

Finally, he cursed.

Although every time Li Yunlong did something, the ending was good, he took advantage of it, and the devil suffered a lot, but this process is really frightening.

"Go to his side next time, get some canned meat and come back to calm down."

Staff Officer Mo slapped the table, also cursing.

······
"I don't know what that bastard Li Yunlong did?"

At the brigade headquarters, the same scolding sounded.

The headquarters immediately informed the brigade of the situation.

After all, the direction of the army of devils was marching in Shou County, and the brigade troops stationed around Shou County. Naturally, a telegram was sent to the brigade headquarters as soon as possible, so that the troops here were ready to deal with the devil's attack.

But the brigade headquarters had no way to figure out the movement of the independent regiment in the first place.

Although I have answered the call to the Independent Regiment before, it was temporary after all, and at that time the brigade headquarters was very close to the Independent Regiment headquarters, but now, the brigade headquarters is at least [-] kilometers away from the Independent Regiment headquarters, so the telephone line communication at such a distance, this Far beyond the material base of the troops, the communication between the brigade headquarters and the regiments can only rely on cavalry correspondents.

Once you go and come, even if you ride a horse, you will be gone for a day.

"Damn it, if labor and management are rich in radio stations, they will be the first to equip Li Yunlong with a radio station."

After preparing the initial countermeasures, he picked up his horsewhip and walked a few steps in the headquarters, his tone still cursing:

"He had a great time playing, which made labor and management frightened."

Nearly [-] devils rushed over in mighty force. Before knowing the purpose of these little devils, no one dared to be careless. All troops had to enter a fighting state to prevent the devils from attacking.

"It's basically impossible to guess. What this kid did can't be speculated with common sense at all."

Staff Officer Luo of the brigade also sighed:

"However, seeing the devil making such a big move, it's the same scale as the last time he robbed the devil's army. It's probably not a trivial matter. I guess it's probably robbing the little devil of something."

"Immediately send the communications corps to the Independent Regiment to have a look..."

"Forget it, you work hard, go to the independent regiment to have a look, isn't this dog doing military expansion training recently? Some time ago, he reported that he was playing with the devils from the Huting stronghold. Why did he suddenly attract the devils from Yangquan?"

The brigade commander hesitated for a while, and finally decided to ask Staff Luo to ask for it himself.

"Yes."

Staff Officer Luo finally nodded, and was about to get up and go.

Before leaving the brigade headquarters, suddenly, a radio operator came in with a telegram in his hand:
"Report, telegram from the headquarters, the Japanese army in Shou County has retreated."

"what?"

Staff Officer Luo and the brigade commander were taken aback for a moment.

The two looked at each other, both seeing doubts.

This is, is Li Yunlong done?
The thing is in hand, so the devil retreated?
But the two were also relieved. The army of little devils had left, which was a good thing. The base area was under a lot of pressure to deal with the devil's encroachment and blockade tactics. If another five thousand devils rushed in, it would be troublesome.

After a while, another soldier came in and handed over a letter:
"This is a report sent by the head of the new regiment, Ding Wei."

"Ding Wei?"

"Take a look."

The brigade commander took a look, and immediately frowned: "Ding Wei said that Li Yunlong asked him to cooperate and planned to send troops to open up the two regiment bases and connect the two bases into one."

Leader Ding was very forceful, and he knew that his troubles were different from Li Yunlong's. After all, a bad boy doing bad things, and a good boy doing bad things, the ending may be very different, so he sent a report to the brigade in advance.

Of course, the letter also stated that this time it was Li Yunlong's plan, and Ding Wei was just cooperating in the battle.

"It's a good thing to open up two bases."

Staff Officer Mo said.

Connecting the base areas and supporting each other is the general policy laid down a long time ago. All the main regiments, main regiments, and even the county brigades and district teams are striving for this goal.

Moreover, the Independent Regiment and the New Regiment are adjacent to each other, and there is a road passing between them. The devils have occupied a lot of territory. If they can be connected, the communication between the two regiments will be much easier. The ability is also stronger.

"But, what did these two guys do that made the little devil react so strongly?"

The brigade commander always felt that something was wrong:
"Just expanding the base area, let the little devil send [-] troops to support it?"

"Then shall I still go to the independent group?"

Staff Officer Luo asked.

"never mind."

The brigade commander waved his hand and sighed:

"The day after tomorrow, the two of me will go there in person to warn this kid. Next time you cause trouble, you have to say hello to my superior first, otherwise you will always be so frightened. Labor and management will lose at least 20 years of life."

······
Travel back in time to not so long ago.

Taiyuan.

Yoshio Shinozuka, who was still hesitating whether to send reinforcements to Kotobuki, received a farewell telegram from Ito Kotaro.

"The enemy sent more than [-] elite troops to infiltrate the city covertly. When the attention was attracted by the external encirclement forces, they launched a surprise attack. The city gate was caught off guard, and thousands of enemies rushed into Shouxian County. Now the city wall of Shouxian County is completely covered. Falling into the enemy's hands, the garrison brigade suffered heavy losses, I will lead my troops to fight the enemy to the death to prove the glory of the imperial warriors..."

The telegram was a standardized farewell telegram, meaningless. The expressions of the two remained unchanged, but they still bowed their heads to express their condolences and respect.

Then, Shinozuka Yoshio issued an order to retreat by the way, and withdrew Yangquan and other places, as well as the air force. They have occupied the county seat, and the battle is over, and the reinforcements are at least a hundred miles away from Shou County. Now Go, waste manpower and material resources.

But the explanation in the message about why Shou County fell so quickly made them very interested.

"The elite troops covertly infiltrate..."

Under Yoshio Shinozuka's round glasses, a pair of small eyes narrowed slightly.

He thought of the last time Taiyuan gold was robbed, that time a small group of troops sneaked into Taiyuan secretly.

There must be a way to guard against Li Yunlong's move.

In addition, Shou County was owned by Li Yunlong, and there was no way to send troops to take it back in a short time. The higher-ups didn't know what they were preparing, and they refused to allocate supplies for him, and they were powerless to organize a sweep.

It seems that the next attack on Li Yunlong will require more troops.

Shinozuka Yoshio was very upset.

It feels like there is a strong mosquito in the house, no, it is a very strong mosquito, and a well-equipped regiment of more than 3000 people can be considered a relatively strong mosquito.

This mosquito sucks your blood from time to time, it's very annoying and painful, but you still can't do anything about it, you can kill it with a slap, but you just can't free your hand.

"Sure enough."

Kazuki Yamamoto was stunned.

However, he was thinking about another thing in his heart.

A small group of elite troops covertly penetrated into the county and opened the city gates. This is also a special tactic... The advance team must have failed. So, can this example be used to get the senior management of the headquarters to continue to support him in promoting special operations?

When the two were thinking about each other, the phone in the headquarters suddenly rang.

Without thinking too much, Yoshio Shinozuka picked up the phone.

As soon as he received the call, his face suddenly changed drastically, his eyes were full of evil, as if he had seen the murder of his father and enemy.

　Write, write, revise, write until now, no matter how I write, I am not satisfied, dizzy.

　　Slip away, slip away.

　　I'm going to bed.
