Rise from the sword

Chapter 328 The devil who is about to be delivered, prepare to go first

Independence Corps.

Shou County.

Li Datuan was sitting in the former devil headquarters, smiling and crossing his legs, and kept smirking. Zhao Gang looked disgusted and stepped back quietly, saying that I didn't know this person.

Even the monk has the same expression, and is also far away.

"Hey hey..."

Li Datuan is so cheeky, naturally he doesn't care about the disgust of the two people, he is still smirking:
"When I was young, when I was working in the fields every day, I always thought that one day I would taste the taste of the county magistrate, hahaha, I didn't expect to finally taste it today."

Afterwards, Li Yunlong patted his butt, stood up, and looked at Zhao Gang beside him:

"Calculate the time, that devil should be here."

"Yes, according to the agreed plan, Ito Kotaro should have gone to Taiyuan, and I'm afraid he has already contacted the devil." Zhao Gang naturally knew what Li Yunlong was talking about.

Mentioning this devil made Zhao Gang feel a little uncomfortable.

This kind of people who are only for pure profit and don't care about others makes him very disgusted, and cooperating with such people who have no bottom line always makes Zhao Gang feel uncertain.

"Humph."

Li Yunlong also sneered:
"I didn't expect this devil to be so ruthless that he shot himself directly, and he did it so seriously."

That Kotaro Ito seemed greedy for life and afraid of death, but he was very decisive in doing things. In order to fool the high-level devils, he shot himself directly, and then left after eating bran and wild vegetables for a few days in order to be more realistic.

Even among his accomplices, the unreliable ones were killed by his hands.

is a cruel man.

The monk also grinned.

That shot was fired by him, the shell gun bullet with reduced charge, aimed at the arm at close range.

"Old Li, although we hold the handle of this devil, we must be careful when we cooperate with this kind of person."

Zhao Gang couldn't help exhorting.

"Don't worry about this."

Li Yunlong naturally understood, he squinted his eyes:

"How can you hold the handle, this kind of person can only believe three points..."

Zhao Gang just nodded:
"In a few days, I will arrange for a communications soldier to contact this devil and determine the follow-up intelligence contact method."

At this moment, a guard platoon soldier came in outside:

"The head, the political commissar, and Captain Wang are back."

"it is good."

Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang looked at each other, both seeing joy.

When Wang Gensheng comes back, we can proceed to the next stage.

Just as the two were about to meet Wang Gensheng, another guard platoon soldier walked in. This was the deputy platoon leader of the guard platoon. He looked around and saw that there were only Zhao Gang, Li Yunlong and the monk in the regiment. whispered:
"That Zhu Ziming has acted again."

"Ok?"

Zhao Gang and Li Yunlong both cheered up.

In order to hide the special forces, Zhu Ziming was deliberately left in Xujia Village. The specific work was still in charge of contacting various villages, picketing devils and spies, and regular tasks of the security department.

······
a few days later.

Taiyuan.

"This Ito Kotaro is really lucky."

Even Yamamoto had to admire.

During the siege battle, he was shot by the Eighth Route Army, wounded and unconscious, and treated as a corpse. While no one was paying attention, he fled to the deep mountains and survived by relying on wild vegetables. Finally, he joined several escaped soldiers and fled all the way back to Taiyuan.

"General, how do we treat this Ito?"

Yamamoto asked Yoshio Shinozuka on the stage.

According to the regulations of the Great Japanese Locust Army, in a failed battle, there are no deserters, let alone this kind of defense battle. It is considered a disgrace for the commander to escape, and it is inevitable to be demoted when he comes back. They may even become soldiers and be sent to die.

But this one is different, fighting to the death with the enemy, and finally survived by luck, something special...
"Let him recuperate first."

"Give him another captain at that time."

Shinozuka Yoshio didn't care about a mere major, he was more interested in the information obtained by the escaped man: "Is there any news about the independent regiment?"

"some."

Yamamoto nodded:
"According to reports from Major Ito Kotaro and several soldiers who broke out with him, I have compiled some information about the independent regiment."

"Li Yunlong participated in the siege of about 500 troops, and the weapon configuration was also very good. Each infantry squad had a machine gun and a rifle. There were no soldiers without weapons, and the ammunition was also sufficient. Throughout the battle, the firepower Very powerful."

"Moreover, in this battle, Li Yunlong also displayed a large number of submachine guns. The troops that lurked into the county were all equipped with submachine guns. The total number is expected to be around 150."

"About ten heavy machine guns of the kind that can threaten armored vehicles."

"In terms of light weapons, there is no difference compared to the empire, and there are even a few disadvantages."

In the cognition of Yamamoto, who has studied in Germany, he attributed heavy machine guns to light weapons,
"Ah."

Shinozuka Yoshio nodded expressionlessly, but his face became obviously gloomy.

The imperial army has a slight disadvantage in terms of light weapons...

Although Yamamoto's words are very implicit, but the actual situation in these data, a discerning eye who understands the military can know at a glance that this is not a slight disadvantage, but it is obviously a great disadvantage.

Light machine guns and rifles are similar on both sides. The Empire's latest Type [-] machine gun is comparable to the Bren type. At this time, the devils already know the Bren type used by Li Yunlong.

But submachine guns and heavy machine guns, the former empire does not have, and on the battlefield, submachine gun stars have a great effect, this, as Lieutenant General Yoshio Shinozuka can naturally see.

As for the latter, let alone.

That kind of large-caliber heavy machine gun from the United States is about the same weight as the Type [-] of the Empire, and its power is completely incomparable. They can penetrate tank armor, and I can defend myself with multiple layers of sandbags. Tokyo Avenue.

Yamamoto was silent for a moment before continuing:

"On the artillery side."

"This time the Independent Regiment used more than ten large-caliber mortars, about fifteen small-caliber mortars, and two Type [-] mortars."

Kazuki Yamamoto is worthy of being an elite. From the perspective of a few devil soldiers, he quickly stitched together and restored the strength of the entire independent regiment, and there was almost no discrepancy in the data. This intelligence analysis ability is really powerful.

"Three thousand and five hundred people, elite light weapons, fortunately, the opponent's artillery is not strong."

Hearing this, Shinozuka Yoshio finally breathed a sigh of relief, and his expression returned to normal.

Although the opponent has a large number of mortars and the shells are very powerful, the empire also has grenadiers, Type [-], and mountain artillery. The overall strength of the artillery is superior to the empire.

Small and medium-caliber mortars are finally the accompanying weapons for infantry, and they are still a bit worse for mountain artillery and field artillery.

"It seems that the next time we fight against Li Yunlong, we will need to deploy more artillery."

Rubbing his forehead, Shinozuka Yoshio said helplessly.

At the same time, he felt a little rejoiced. Fortunately, that person named Chen Fan seemed to be able to provide only a small amount of artillery, and it was mortars and Type [-] infantry artillery, both of which were light artillery.

This makes the imperial army still have an advantage through artillery on a relatively flat terrain with almost the same strength.But once in the complex mountainous terrain, facing Li Yunlong's troops who are familiar with the terrain, the imperial army, which is inferior in light weapons, will lose its advantage.

"..."

Aside, Yamamoto did not respond, but frowned.

The theory is right, but...

Why, the mighty First Army, more than 3 Imperial Army, equipped with aircraft, heavy artillery, tanks and heavy weapons, is so difficult to face a mere Li Yunlong, but a regiment-level force of more than 3000 people, with almost no decent heavy weapons?Still can't gather enough troops and supplies to destroy him?
Even, being taken advantage of by the other party many times.

What went wrong?
He had a vague idea in his heart, but Yamamoto always felt that there was a layer of fog covering this kind of thinking that expanded to the overall strategy, and he was always close to something.

"Did the spy report any useful information?"

Shinozuka Yoshina asked suddenly.

"No valid case."

Yamamoto shook his head: "He is currently in charge of the village's anti-espionage work, and the Independent Regiment Headquarters has been transferred to Shou County."

"Leave him alone for now."

Yoshio Shinozuka didn't pay too much attention to this spy who has not been exposed yet: "You continue to investigate the intelligence of the independent regiment, and I'm going to start preparing to attack the Eighth Route Army arsenal."

In this attack on the arsenal, the protagonist is not the first army, but he is in charge of logistics, which makes Shinozuka feel very uncomfortable. The credit is not his own, and he has to consume his own supplies.

Afterwards, Yamamoto seized the opportunity and said to Yoshio Shinozuka:
"General, I have investigated the route of the navy's batch of gold, do we want..."

Yamamoto knew very well that once the anti-special operations training was completed, his status would definitely plummet. If he didn't do anything else, he might have no chance to promote special operations.

"Oh?"

Shinozuka Yoshio suddenly became interested.

Three tons of gold, this batch of things, even for him, would be of great benefit.

"When exactly?"

He asked, "How about the garrison strength?"

Although I can't wait for all the navy to die suddenly, it is a country after all, and the troops under the same command of the locust cannot initiate conflicts. At least, they cannot fire the first shot first.

"Fifty days later, the other party will pass by here."

Kazuki Yamamoto pointed to a point on the map: "There are only two escort boats, only equipped with machine guns, and the transport ship is just a small transport ship."

Squinting his eyes and looking at the location Yamamoto pointed out, Shinozuka Yoshio thought about who to contact.

As for whether he will do it, there is no doubt about it, because this is the gold of the navy, and any army general will do it without hesitation.The method is also very simple. The army also has warships, and they can seize them in the name of searching for spies. By the time the navy reacts, they have already left with gold.

Who told the navy not to report this batch of gold to the cabinet, but to keep it for military expenses privately?Even if they are robbed, as long as they don't fire first, the final result can only be high-level wrangling.

Shinozuka Yoshio thought with a sneer.

······
Independence Corps.

In a hidden open space around Yang Village.

A team of more than 100 ordinary mules and large mules stood on the road, and the mules and horses were full of food bags, and beside these mules were plainclothes independent regiment soldiers.

"Store the supplies according to the points on the map."

Li Yunlong pointed to a map and said to Wang Gensheng, who was in charge of leading the team:

"After storing the supplies, leave some soldiers to guard."

On the return trip, three tons of gold need to be transported for more than 700 kilometers, and fast transportation is required to wipe out the enemies who have heard the news at a high speed, but this distance has exceeded the transportation capacity of the big mule. I realized that a big mule can only support about four days of high-speed transportation with heavy loads, and then it needs a long period of rest.

And more than 700 kilometers, it will take eleven days at the fastest.

Of course, there is a way to prolong the time of high-speed transportation with heavy loads, and that is to eat hard food, sufficient, easy-to-digest hard food.

Only eat corn, soybeans and other hard foods.Big mules last longer and run faster.

The mules and horses in front of them are all corn and soybeans, which are specially prepared for the big mules on the return journey.The rest is ready on the road, and can be taken out directly for the big mule to eat.

As for weapons and ammunition, as well as the supplies needed by the troops, the combat mission for this mission is very light, and there is no need to carry a large amount of weapons and ammunition. Just carry those things with the team.

"it is good."

Wang Gensheng naturally understood.

This matter was entrusted to him because he was familiar with the terrain.

"lets go."

Li Yunlong waved his hand:
"Pay attention to safety, there is still plenty of time, don't be in a hurry, and tell the guards that they can give up supplies in case of accidents. We have prepared enough this time, and there will be no accidents if we lose a few places."

This batch of hard food feed is very important, and Li Yunlong will naturally prepare stocks to deal with accidents.

"Yes."

Wang Gensheng nodded.

Of course, he also knew that there were still fifty days before the business time.

Amidst the sound of footsteps, under the twilight, more than 100 mules of various kinds, disguised as a caravan, walked towards the predetermined location.

······
the next day.

Headquarters Arsenal.

Zhang Wanhe was very surprised to see the headquarters special agent group that had begun to deploy defenses and even recast the entire defensive position.

How to protect the regiment that surrounds the headquarters full-time?
"We have received information."

Staff Officer Mo explained:

"Judging from the movements of the devils, they may attack the arsenal in the near future, so the headquarters sent us over."

Are you going to transfer again... Zhang Wanhe frowned subconsciously.

Now the machine has just been debugged, and production has entered the fast lane. Now it is transferred, and every time it goes back and forth, at least several regiments of equipment, weapons and ammunition will be lost.

"Minister Zhang, please rest assured."

Captain Huang came over, and the strong man touched the M2 heavy machine gun beside him, and said in a ferocious tone, "As long as the little devil comes, I will treat the little devil well, and I will solve the battle quickly without delaying too much." Long production."

Captain Huang is very confident.

Although Li Yunlong didn't come out with much equipment, far from enough to equip the entire army, but as the special agent regiment of the headquarters, he was the first regiment to change equipment. , and all of them were assigned to him.

Plus the recent addition of grenades.

The combat effectiveness of the headquarters special task force has increased several times.

Moreover, he is not the commander who ran away when he saw the devils last time, and their group is not a cowardly group, they are all iron-blooded tough guys.

Looking at the dangerous terrain around the arsenal, Captain Huang smiled indifferently.

When the Yamazaki brigade came last time, he didn't feel the difficulty here. This time, he wanted to let the little devil know what it means to be one man in charge, and ten thousand men should not let it go.
