Rise from the sword

Chapter 359 The heavy army is about to attack, let the devil waste some shells first
(The chapter was wrong yesterday, it should be chapter 94)
"Mobilize troops from the Kwantung Army and the Mongolian Army."

Yamamoto was surprised.

Although the empire mobilized many main divisions to go to Southeast Asia, as the country accelerated the formation of new divisions, the total strength of the Republic of China garrison did not drop much. After the permanent divisions were transferred, the combat effectiveness dropped severely.

Even if it is a second-line or even a third-line division, compared with the Eighth Route Army, which is not even fully equipped with guns, it still has an absolute advantage in frontal combat.

The North China Front Army has relatively sufficient troops at this time, but for this large-scale raid on the Jinchaji base area, it even mobilized troops from other front troops.

How big is the total scale of this raid?

"Recently, the strength of guerrillas around Shanxi has grown rapidly."

Yoshio Shinozuka continued:

"It's not just mysterious aid from abroad."

"They have also set up a complete arsenal themselves, which can manufacture all kinds of light weapons, and have also solved the problem of raw materials for explosives, producing high-quality explosives..."

"If they continue to be allowed to develop, the law and order in the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei region will deteriorate greatly."

"This time, they must be uprooted."

His tone was harsh and full of murderous intent.

This large-scale deployment of troops is largely due to Yoshio Shinozuka. He constantly reported to the front army and even the base camp about the security problems in North China, and asked for an increase in the number of mopping up troops. In the end, it was agreed to transfer troops from various places. .

"The general is right."

Yamamoto nodded.

As a part-time intelligence officer, he naturally knew these situations, and even knew the specific data.

Not to mention the high-quality weapons provided by Chen Fan, only the rifles and pistols produced by Taihang Mountain Ordnance Shovel of the Eighth Route Army can equip more than one regiment every month. But judging from the recent battle consumption of the Eighth Route Army, it will not be too low.

Although it is not yet possible to make their own machine guns, in just a few years, under the heavy blockade and continuous raids of the empire, the opponent has actually established a large-scale arsenal from scratch. Give them a period of time, God knows what will happen something to come.

He also felt that these guerrillas entrenched in North China must be dealt with as soon as possible.

Compared with Guofu, this group of Eighth Route Army is what the empire needs to deal with most.

"It is estimated that the strength of the imperial army participating in the raid this time will be close to [-]."

Shinozuka's tone was a little complacent.

A large part of the credit for being able to mobilize such a large force is due to him, and of course, a large part is due to the contribution of Captain Li.The credits of the two actually overlap.

If it weren't for the various troubles that Commander Li had made in the past two years, as well as the pile of high-ranking officials and imperial troops who died in his hands, the high-level officials would not have agreed to mobilize such a large force to mobilize them.

"The imperial army alone is close to [-]..."

Yamamoto opened his eyes slightly.

That's not counting the Imperial Army.

No wonder you have to start stockpiling supplies so early.

The two chatted, and the team had already arrived at the training ground six kilometers away from Taiyuan City. The devils dragging the cannons began to move, building positions, assembling heavy artillery, and simulating firing...
Yes, although in name it is a running-in equipment and an actual combat exercise, but the little devil is reluctant to use precious heavy artillery shells for practical training.

"General."

Looking at the 240 heavy artillery that took more than an hour to prepare, this is still the case that the cannon has been assembled before, Yamamoto said:

"This time to attack Li Yunlong, we must strengthen the defense against artillery."

"I have studied his battle cases. This person is extremely proficient in infiltration tactics. During our attack on Shou County, he would definitely send troops to intersperse or detour to attack heavy artillery positions."

"It's best to choose a suitable concealed artillery position, the security circle should be wide, and guards should be deployed several kilometers around to prevent Li Yunlong from using mortars to shell heavy artillery positions."

"Ah."

Shinozuka Yoshio nodded.

The two were chatting, and the devils were busy organizing actual combat training. No one noticed that there were three people hiding somewhere not far from the training ground...

"So many little devils..."

Beside Wang Gensheng, a soldier of the special team swallowed his saliva.

At this time, on this training ground, there are at least two brigades with more than 700 devil soldiers. If they are discovered, it will be a lot of fun.And they are only more than [-] meters away from the nearest devil.

"Tsk tsk, these three heavy cannons."

Wang Gensheng didn't panic at all, and enjoyed admiring the devil's three heavy cannons with relish.

"Looking at the caliber, those two should be the devil's 150 heavy guns, and that gun should be the 240 caliber."

Wang Gensheng already knew the news that the devil had prepared three heavy siege artillery.

"The two 120mm mortars in our regiment are worth a fortune. They are like children."

Another team member said with emotion.

"I don't know if Boss Chen will equip us with such heavy artillery in the future."

"It should be. It is said that there will be tanks next year, and there will definitely be heavy artillery."

As a member of the special team, he naturally knew some confidential information in the regiment.

"I don't know how powerful it is?"

The three of them looked anxiously at the devil who was assembling the cannon in the distance, expecting the devil to fire a cannon and let a few people see it.

They haven't seen more than 120 caliber cannons yet!

The devils used to dispatch 105 cannons at most, and the regiment only had 120 mortars, which was a full thirty worse than the little devil's 150.

It's a pity that the devil disappointed the three of them. After waiting for several hours, watching the devil assemble the cannon, dig the position, even raise the barrel, and the ammunition hand raised the shell, but they didn't see the shell being fired.

In the end, all I saw was that the devil pushed a mountain cannon and fired a few shots into the distance.

"That's it?"

Wang Gensheng looked at the devil who was packing up the heavy artillery and preparing to go back, and he was extremely disdainful.

After waiting for a long time, seeing you thousands of people have been busy for so long, all the cannonballs were lifted out, and two mountain cannons were fired in the end?Or 75 mountain cannons?

Then why are you lifting the heavy cannon out?
Press the road?

"The little devil probably doesn't have many shells."

Some soldiers also spoke disdainfully.

"Let's go, go back to the regiment."

After glancing at the departing devils and the undamaged concealed ammunition depot containing 120 mortar shells, Wang Gensheng waved his hand.

······
"Captain."

"political commissar."

In Shou County, the leader of the guard platoon came in. After looking around, he saw that there were only two people in the regiment headquarters, the regiment leader and the political commissar, and said:

"The devil has sent Zhu Ziming a message again."

"It is said to let Zhu Ziming investigate the fortifications in our city."

As he spoke, he handed over a letter, which was copied from the devil's secret letter to Zhu Ziming.

"Oh?"

Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang's eyes lit up immediately.

"Little devil finally remembered that they still have a spy?"

Li Yunlong tsk tsk tsk, took the letter.

Zhu Ziming has been there for half a year, and the devil has hardly contacted him for such a long time. If he doesn't contact him again, he is afraid that he will kill this person.The blood feud of the intelligence comrades in Shou County has not yet been counted.

For this kind of person, Chief Li still has the same attitude. It is understandable that he can't handle it anymore. After all, if there is a strong man, there will be trash, but he still dares to come back and be a devil's spy, hmph...

"He even used exposure to threaten Zhu Ziming. It seems that the little devil is determined to obtain information about our work."

After reading the letter, Li Yunlong handed it to Zhao Gang.

"The little devil is exploring the fortifications of our Shou County."

Zhao Gang said:

"This is the devil preparing to attack Shou County."

"Lao Li, what about us?"

As he spoke, Zhao Gang looked at Li Yunlong.

According to common sense, Zhu Ziming must not be allowed to disclose the fortification information of Shou County to the devils, but considering that Li Yunlong might have some evil ideas, Zhao Gang asked Li Datuan.

After all, this spy can extract heavy machine guns.

"Now Zhu Ziming is assigned to Yangcun and Shou County. After he receives the devil's secret letter, he will definitely find a way to come to the county seat. We will delay him for a while and let him come when he is ready."

Leader Li narrowed his eyes, thought for a moment, and then said.

"Yes."

The guard platoon leader nodded and left.

"Are you going to put smoke bombs on the devils?"

Zhao Gang guessed Li Datuan's thoughts.

Release true and false information, and waste the power of the devils when attacking, or even calculate the devils.

"Hey hey..."

Li Datuan suddenly smiled, and said in a satisfied tone: "Old Zhao understands me well, we are really a match made in heaven."

A design made in heaven is used here? ········ Commissar Zhao immediately looked disgusted.

·······
Xujiacun.

Zhu Ziming looked at the secret letter in his hand and heaved a long sigh.

At this moment, the spy's heart was broken, but he was also excited.

Counting it, it had been four months since he had received any contact. Zhu Ziming was so frightened that he thought that the devil was planning to abandon him. He couldn't eat or sleep well in the past few months, and even started planning to escape from the independent group.

At this time, the contact information finally came, and he was relieved.

But the content inside broke his heart.

In the secret letter, Yamamoto asked him to obtain the fortification deployment in the independent regiment Shou County, or important information in the city, otherwise he would announce his information to the public and expose him.

"What do we do now?"

Zhu Ziming was anxious.

After the Independence Regiment recaptured Shou County, he hadn't been there. He had been in Yangcun and Xujiacun, responsible for anti-espionage and traitor work. This time Yamamoto asked him to inquire about Shou County's intelligence, but there was no way to do it.

Like an ant on a hot pot, Zhu Ziming walked around anxiously, and finally gritted his teeth:
"I'll try to apply to go to Shou County first, if it doesn't work, then run away..."

Things are not difficult.

This time Yamamoto seems to be asking for some information. As long as he enters Shou County, as an officer of the Security Section, he can enter many places, and it is not difficult to get some information.

He came to the former regiment headquarters of Xujia Village and sent an application to a company stationed here, saying that he wanted to work in Shou County. Since he couldn't find any reason to go to Shou County, he directly said that the recent base area was stable and things were not good. Busy, want to visit the county seat.

But to Zhu Ziming's surprise, he was actually accepted, but asked to go with the guards in a few days.

Immediately, Zhu Ziming relaxed in his heart.

Unless it was absolutely necessary, he didn't want to run away. The life of the independent regiment was good, and the devil would surely arrange a good position for him to continue to enjoy the blessings if he made meritorious service in the future.

Anything is better than fleeing alone, or even being hunted down.

······
Just when Zhu Ziming planned to enter Shou County or run away.

Inside the Shou County Independent Regiment Headquarters.

Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang are discussing.

Li Yunlong pointed to the map of Shou County on the table, and pointed to a street in the north of Shou County:
"In the north of Shou County, our main fortifications are not here."

"I'm thinking about building an underground ammunition depot here, making it more stable, and then putting some empty ammunition boxes into it, and letting Zhu Ziming see it, so that when the devils attack, they will definitely bombard this place."

"I heard from Wang Gensheng that he saw it in Taiyuan. It seems that the devils don't have many heavy artillery shells."

"Hey hey..."

"Let's waste some shells on the little devil first."

"That's a good idea."

Zhao Gang looked at the position Li Yunlong was pointing at, and agreed very much:

"This place is located inside the city wall of Shou County, surrounded by fortifications. The little devils will definitely not be able to get in for a short time. If there is an ammunition depot here, the devils will definitely use heavy artillery to destroy the ammunition depot."

"And the shelling time will not be short. Even if the heavy artillery is very powerful, it will take a lot of shells to destroy the ammunition depot, or bury it so that it cannot be used."

"That's it."

Li Yunlong immediately clapped his hands and shouted to the outside:
"Monk, call the Second Battalion Commander over here."

Shen Quan soon came over. The second battalion commander, who looked a bit gentle, had been tempered in the independent regiment for more than two years. At this time, he was still bookish. For a while, people were organized to work, and the highly confidential work was carried out in a decent manner.

After setting up the work, a target was prepared for the devils to waste shells, and Li Datuan was going to drink a few glasses of wine to celebrate.

Just in time to taste the good wine that Lao Liu got from the boss.

Li Yunlong has already figured it out, every time he comes up with a good idea against the devil, Zhao Gang will ignore his drinking for a while, even when the situation is not dangerous, or when the idea is bad enough and cruel enough to the devil, he can go crazy Drink it once.

Sure enough, as Li Yunlong expected, after Zhao Gang glanced at Li Yunlong, he snorted coldly and left directly.

Not long after the political commissar left, Zhang Dabiao rushed in like a shark smelling fishy, ​​bent slightly, drooling in his mouth, and smirked at Li Yunlong:

"Captain, it's boring to drink alone, let me accompany you."

As he spoke, he stared at the bottle of wine in Li Yunlong's hand, his eyeballs straightened.

He knew where the wine came from.

This is really good wine, the kind that is difficult to buy in big cities. It is said that this is the special level that Yan Laoxi gave to the boss. He has been coveting it for a long time.

"want to drink?"

Li Yunlong said with a smile at first, which made Zhang Dabiao's heart flutter suddenly, thinking that this time drinking wine was a success, but then...
"roll."

With a scolding, Zhang Dabiao had to lower his head, planning to leave in despair.

Just at this time.

Didi Didi·····

At Li Yunlong's waist, the metal communicator rang.

　. . . .Did not add more. . .
