Rise from the sword

Chapter 342 Two Good News

"The Great Official of the Borderlands..."

Fang Ligong pursed his lips, his tone a little envious.

What is a feudal official?

Their Chief Officer Yan is at this level. He holds an army of tens of thousands, controls a party's power, and only accepts a small amount of leadership from the government, so he has great autonomy.

If it wasn't for the sudden arrival of the Japanese, I'm afraid it would be more comfortable.

"Just because of Li Yunlong's special weapon channel?"

Fang Ligong still felt a little unworthy.

More than a year has passed, and the national government has naturally investigated a lot of information. Although it cannot be further contacted, it also knows a general idea.

According to what he knew, the total amount of weapons and ammunition Li Yunlong obtained was only a few thousand tons, which was not a lot for the government.

Although life in the government is difficult now, and the wealthy areas in the south have been lost, after several years of recovery, several arsenals have been established in the Chongqing area, and the self-produced ones can also reach this level.

As for those food supplies, those things are not enough to be fancy.

"A few thousand tons is not a lot."

"Not to mention high-quality weapons and ammunition, this shows that the mysterious force supporting Li Yunlong has strong industrial capabilities."

Chu Yunfei shook his head:
"and··"

"This person only gave Li Yunlong weapons, ammunition and supplies."

"In addition, he is still there. For this alone, it is normal for the government to give such a verbal intention."

There are also big and small officials in the frontier, and the words convey only one meaning, which means that their bid is very high and their sincerity is very high. If the other party is tempted, then they will discuss the price and the details afterwards.

"really."

As Chu Yunfei laid out the conditions one by one, Fang Ligong nodded.

The adjutant's views have always been firm:

"This group of people is the great enemy of the government, and they cannot be allowed to grow too much."

"Humph··"

Regarding this, Chu Yunfei didn't say much, but just snorted coldly: "Let's talk about this matter after a while."

"···Yes."

Fang Ligong was stunned for a moment, and could only nod his head.

Because the national government couldn't get in touch with Li Yunlong at all, the order in the telegram was to poach people as soon as possible, at least to cause suspicion, but the chief seemed unwilling, and he had no choice.

He knew very well that his chief had similar general views as him, but there was one difference. Before the little devil was driven out, the two sides were cooperative comrades-in-arms, not suitable for stumbling.

······
Since the gold event in September, everything has been quiet.

The little devil planned to attack the arsenal, and he didn't even have much cover. He swaggered and organized his troops. After all, he had an absolute advantage in strength. Even if the opponent moved the arsenal, it could greatly affect the production of weapons and ammunition.

As for the arsenal at the headquarters, it is in full production, and the garrison is actively preparing for battle.

During this time, Li Yunlong also lived a very leisurely life.

In the first ten days of November, Li Yunlong leisurely knocked on Erlang's legs in the regiment headquarters, while knocking on peanuts, while looking at a map in his hand, he picked up a pencil to make corrections.

This is a defense map of Shou County, with fortifications, forts, and tunnels clearly marked, and it accurately shows the defense system of Shou County.

"Monk."

After a while, Li Yunlong suddenly called the monk and said with a map:

"Give this map to Zhang Dabiao, and ask him to change the fortifications according to the above."

Leader Li always remembered the words that brother Chen said at the beginning.

Occupy Shou County for a while longer, the longer the better...
According to this sentence, he understood two meanings. The longer Shou County is occupied, the more things Chen can give him. Based on his previous experience, if he can cause huge losses to the little devil in Shou County, then What you give can be taken to the next level.

For this reason, Li Datuan determined to build Shou County into a strong fortress.

From the location, Shou County is very suitable for a city street battle with the devils.

Shou County is not big, but it is not small either. The houses inside are solid and the roads are complicated. Unless the devils use large-caliber barrier-breaking guns, even 105-caliber heavy artillery will not do much damage.Coupled with the backing of the mountainous area, as long as the defense lines are arranged on both wings to avoid being completely surrounded by devils, they can retreat at any time.

As long as a complete fortification is prepared, the devil's blood can be well shed here.

"Yes."

The monk nodded and left with the map.

After a while, following the sound of horseshoes, Zhao Gang came in. As soon as he entered the door, he picked up the cup on the table and drank it, as if he had just driven a long way in a hurry.

"what happened?"

Li Yunlong found that Zhao Gang's expression was very happy, as if he had picked up money.

Lao Zhao went to the headquarters to hold a meeting not long ago.

"Hahaha····"

Political Commissar Zhao panted, and his tone was very happy: "Two good news, and it's great news."

"Oh?"

Li Yunlong frowned: "What good news can make you so happy?"

Then, Li Yunlong guessed:
"The devils over there in Huangya Cave suffered a big loss?"

There are basically no major events in the near future, only the devils plan to attack the arsenal, and the headquarters did not relocate the arsenal, but deployed troops to take advantage of the location to prepare for a tough wave with the devils.

"Other than that, what good news can there be?"

Li Yunlong frowned when he thought of this.

There has been a severe drought recently, and there has been a food shortage everywhere. The life of the people in the base area is very difficult. For this reason, he has supported a large amount of food for the superiors. What good news can there be?

If it wasn't for the dispatch of troops in the border area to organize food production, he had already seen hope, and he planned to ask Brother Chen to help him with a batch of food for emergency.

"Correct."

Political Commissar Zhao is still very happy, even excited:

"You guessed it right, we fought a big victory in Huangyadong, annihilating nearly [-] devils and puppet troops, most of whom were devils, even destroyed a few devils armored vehicles and tanks, and blew up a few cannons .”

"Moreover, the arsenal suffered almost no losses, and production has not stopped, including during the battle."

"Nearly two thousand devils and puppet troops? And devils still make up the majority?"

Li Yunlong was startled.

The troops had been preparing for almost half a year, so it was not surprising that they won the battle, but it surprised him that they won so thoroughly.

The more devils there are, the more difficult it is to deal with. This is not a problem of one plus one equals two, but a problem of one plus one greater than two.

As far as he knew, the devils alone numbered more than 105 troops attacking the arsenal. With the puppet army, the total strength was over 4000. They were equipped with division-level, [-]-caliber heavy artillery. Facing this large army, even His independent regiment of nearly [-] people can only hide in Shou County for passive defense, and even has to be ready to retreat at any time.

Of course, after the completion of the fortifications in Shouxian County, he is confident that he can play street fighting with the devils with the strong fortifications, let the devils bled before retreating.

"How about the loss?"

Li Yunlong asked.

Judging from the fact that the arsenal has not stopped production, the loss of the garrison is certainly not large.

"A little over two companies were lost."

Zhao Gang's tone was a little distressed.

He was talking about losses, not casualties.

Although there are casualties in the war, which is unavoidable, Commissar Zhao still feels distressed.

"sharp."

Li Yunlong admired from the bottom of his heart.

After destroying nearly 200 Japanese puppet troops, I only suffered a little more than two companies, or more than [-] people, with a battle loss ratio of almost ten to one, which is really powerful.

"Except for this, what good news is there?"

Leader Li frowned.

Two good news, the first news is a big victory, then, the latter news is at least equal to this...

"Give you···"

Zhao Gang handed over a piece of news:
"look by youself····"

Li Yunlong took the newspaper and read it carefully. After more than a year of study, although Li Datuan was far from a cultural person, he was no longer the person who needed help from others to read the telegram.

Soon, he understood the contents of the telegram;
"The little devil attacked Pearl Harbor in the United States, and the United States declared war on the little devil? Britain and France also declared war on the little devil?"

Leader Li jumped up when he saw the end.

As the head of the regiment, he knows the world situation, and he also knows that compared to the United States, the little devils are far inferior in strength. No matter what the battle is like after the little devils attack the United States, the situation in the Republic of China will definitely be greatly eased.

The little devil has only so little strength, and if he fights on two fronts, his strength will be greatly dispersed.

Moreover, the Republic of China can also receive foreign aid.

"This is really good news."

Leader Li said with emotion.

"Indeed, for us, it is indeed good news."

Zhao Gang nodded, and then his tone was puzzled: "I don't know what the little devil made a mistake to attack the United States. Don't they know the gap between themselves and the United States?"

Regarding this point, Zhao Gang was puzzled.

This is like a regiment of thousands of people suddenly declaring war on a division of tens of thousands of people.

"Humph."

On the contrary, Captain Li narrowed his eyes:
"You little devil is gambling."

As an expert who is good at using small things to make big gains, Li Yunlong saw the little devil's purpose at a glance.

bet!
Like a regiment wants to fight a division, so what?
Take a gamble, take advantage of the scattered forces of that division, and launch a surprise attack with all your strength before that division has time to react, destroy as many troops as possible in that division, hurt or even defeat that division.

Then, the devil's idea must be to use a sneak attack and a series of battles to force the United States to seek peace.

"but···"

Even though he knew what the little devil was thinking, Captain Li still took a deep breath:
"Little devil, this is really crazy."

The Republic of China has not yet swallowed it, and has been restrained by a large number of troops, and it is going to provoke Britain and the United States. This is completely blocking the country's fortune.

This simply did not consider retreating at all.Even he, when he first led the new regiment, didn't dare to be so crazy. Not only did he not leave a way out, but he didn't think about it at all.

"The crazier the kid, the better for us."

Commissar Zhao also snorted coldly.

"correct."

Zhao Gang suddenly remembered something, and gave Li Yunlong a commendation order:

"The weapons and ammunition you supported also played a great role in this battle, especially those heavy machine guns, so you also have a share of the credit, and I gave you a small credit."

"I'll take it for you."

"This thing has a fart..."

After receiving the award order, Li Yunlong curled his lips.

Although he was disdainful, Li Yunlong put it away carefully.

Zhao Gang smiled, but did not speak.

One ton of gold in Taiyuan was exchanged for the deputy brigade commander, and this time three tons of gold, and the occupation of Shou County, was a regiment-level and personal achievement. This is extremely rare, and generally only large-scale battle victories to be issued.

Although the troops were poor, they couldn't give any material rewards. In the end, it was just a commendation order, a simple medal.

But in the future, if the scale of the troops increases and becomes regular, this thing will be more effective...

This kind of credit, there are only a handful of people who get it.

······
"This herd of red deer..."

"Borers of the Empire."

"Is this pushing the empire to its death?"

In Taiyuan, Yoshio Shinozuka, who received the news from the navy, was losing his temper.

Tables, telephones, teacups, and porcelain were smashed all over the floor, and many fragments even splashed out of the door, which made a kind of staff officer and guards tremble outside the door, and even Yamamoto dared not enter the door.

The corner of Yamamoto's mouth twitched, hesitating for a moment, and finally he didn't dare to go in.

Recently, it can be said that everything is not going well.

Not long ago, the troops attacking the Eighth Route Army’s arsenal were defeated. The imperial army lost more than a full brigade, and some heavy weapons were also lost. did not see.

This has not slowed down, and there is another bad news.

The navy attacked Pearl Harbor in the United States, saying that it destroyed the main force of the US Pacific Fleet, and the empire will own the Pacific Ocean for at least half a year.To this end, the Navy has a lot of hype.

There is a fart for...
Yamamoto scoffed at this.

The main strength of the United States is on the east coast, and that is the core strength of the United States, and they also have the West Coast Fleet, so what if the Pacific Fleet is gone?
Unless your navy can damage or even destroy the industrial base on the east coast of the United States, it won't be long before the Americans stand up.

Yamamoto, who has studied in Germany and seen the industrial zone in the Ruhr area, knows very well that in the industrial age and the steel age, it is no longer possible to declare victory in a battle with a fleet victory. That is something that only happened in the last century.

Moreover, as far as he knew, although the naval attack on Pearl Harbor destroyed many US fleets, not many US Navy soldiers were wiped out.

This attack, apart from provoking an enemy in vain, did no good to the empire.

Thinking of the end, Yamamoto suddenly sighed:

He also knew why the empire would do this.The trade between Japan and the United States has been interrupted, and oil resources are in short supply. The navy, which is eyeing Nanyang oil and other resources, naturally blocked it as soon as it got hot.

After all, the warships produced by spending so much imperial military expenditure are almost useless for the Republic of China, which makes the navy very anxious.

·····
In the [-]th Regiment of the Jinsui Army.

Chu Yunfei also burst into laughter when he received the news.

"Hahaha, the little devil actually attacked the United States..."

"Yes, the high level of the national government has started to contact the Americans, and the two sides have reached some agreements, the lease bill is open to us, next..." Fang Ligong smiled crookedly.

"Ha ha···"

Chu Yunfei continued to laugh heartily:

"Next, we will also have top foreign weapons."

"It won't be worse than that of Li Yunlong."

　In terms of briefly dealing with rewards, this is the only way...
