Rise from the sword

Chapter 442 Caliber 160!

"At about twelve o'clock last night, the Zhangjiakou headquarters of the Mongolian Army was attacked."

Yoshimoto hung up the phone, and there was a hint of happiness in his voice, which was very weak, but Yamamoto could still hear it. Yamamoto also found that General Yoshimoto seemed to be a little younger:
"Fan Zhuang, all the jade in Qitian was broken, and he was seriously injured and unconscious last month."

"Nani?"

Yamamoto was startled.

These three people, Zhuang Benfan, although they retired because of the February [-] incident, they are also generals.Qitian, a former commander of the Mongolian army, a lieutenant general of the empire, will soon be transferred back to the staff headquarters, a powerful figure.Last month, the new Commander of the Garrison in Mongolia was also a Lieutenant General of the Empire and a powerful figure.

Whoever is so powerful can kill a general and two lieutenant generals overnight.

This is simply a perfect special operation!

special operations
Thinking of this, Shan Ben suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and immediately thought of Li Yunlong who kept him up all night.

"And it's not even clear who the attacker was."

Gibbon continued.

This sentence made Yamamoto's guess in his heart even more certain.

The people who attacked the headquarters of the Mongolian Army must have been sent by Li Yunlong. According to the information provided by Chen Fan, they are the only ones capable of doing this.

As the commander of the special team, Yamamoto is very clear.

As the headquarters of the Mongolian army, Zhangjiakou does not have the city walls of Taiyuan, but the security level of an army headquarters will not be low. It is impossible to find an opportunity to attack and kill three generals at the same time without sufficient intelligence.

"General, did Your Excellency Gangcun tell you about the specific process of the attack?"

Yamamoto asked intentionally.

If the Zhangjiakou attack was really Li Yunlong, it would be a good thing for the First Army.

"After they held a party, they encountered a bomb attack on the way from the headquarters to their residence. It is estimated that the attacker used about [-] kilograms of explosives, and the entire convoy suffered heavy losses."

Gibbon replied.

"Large-yield bomb attack."

Yamamoto narrowed his eyes.

"You mean Li Yunlong did it."

Although Yoshimoto aged ten years overnight, his IQ was still there, and he immediately understood the meaning of Yamamoto's words.

Planting a large-equivalent bomb on the side of the road and using wires to detonate it is a common method of the Independent Regiment. The First Army has suffered many similar attacks. This method is extremely difficult to defend against, and it is extremely powerful, comparable to a heavy aerial bomb , Every time the imperial army lost a lot.

"Probably"

Yamamoto said:

"The confirmation is also very simple. Li Yunlong used potassium tungsten explosives. The composition of this explosive is different from that of yellow explosives and picric acid explosives. The on-site investigation is very easy to identify."

"If Li Yunlong did it..."

Gibbon also narrowed his eyes.

He also realized that if it was handled well, it would be a good thing for the First Army.

From the perspective of the empire as a whole, the death of three generals is nothing more than a trivial matter.

The war has been going on for so long, and there is a growing shortage of grassroots soldiers and officers, but the senior generals are overcrowded. The major generals and lieutenant generals add up to several brigades, and there are dozens of generals. It is nothing if three of them die.

But one general and two lieutenant generals were killed, and the two lieutenant generals were still the commanders of the Mongolian army. The guys in the base camp would lose face, and the emperor would be furious, and they would inevitably question public security issues. Morale problems, and being suppressed by the propaganda of the Republic of China.

Therefore, whether this matter is serious or not depends on the final impact.

If this matter can cause the base camp to pay more attention to Li Yunlong, then the three of them will die well.It's not bad to take a step back to attract the attention of General Gangcun or Junliu Hata to Li Yunlong.

It is impossible to encircle and suppress Li Yunlong with heavy troops, but it is also good to strengthen the strength of the First Army appropriately.

"I'll call General Gangmura immediately."

Gibbon paused before speaking.

······
"Li Yunlong."

Beiping, Okamura hung up the phone and muttered to himself, with a bright horror on his face.

"Li Yunlong?"

Hearing Gangcun's words, the Chief of Staff Sanji Chengo was also puzzled.

Long, long ago, the name entered his ears.

Chen Fan, who is being investigated by the Imperial Intelligence Division, has been providing Li Yunlong with weapons, ammunition and supplies, which has exacerbated the security turmoil in North China. However, the Empire has been investigating for so long and even contacted its German allies, but there is still no progress.

Yoshio Shinozuka stepped down because of this Li Yunlong, and even after he stepped down, he seemed to be in a daze and wanted to deal with Li Yunlong no matter the cost.

In the documents sent to the headquarters of the front army recently, this person's name also appeared many times.

According to the information gathered recently, this Li Yunlong is leading his troops to build a solid rear base in the mountainous area of ​​northwest Shanxi. Parts and explosives factories have been built, and the output is not low.

If it weren't for the recent period of tense troops, it is really impossible to deploy troops. In addition, Li Yunlong's strength is not bad, and he is located in a complex mountainous area. He would have ordered the First Army to encircle and suppress it.

"Gibben speculated that the Zhangjiakou incident was caused by this Li Yunlong."

Neiji Okamura said:

"The attack method is very similar to the roadside bombs that Li Yunlong often uses, and Li Yunlong has a record of attacking high-ranking generals of the empire many times. Lieutenant General Yansong died at his hands."

"Iwamatsu..."

Sanji Okito frowned.

He remembered that Yan Song was killed by a roadside bomb on his way to become the commander of the First Army, which was exactly the same as what happened in Zhangjiakou yesterday, except that the explosive equivalent at that time was not as huge as Zhangjiakou.

"His independent group has this strength?"

Ojoto Sanzhi looked at the map hanging on the wall and found that the area where Li Yunlong was located was more than 500 kilometers away from Zhangjiakou. He suddenly became suspicious, and could the intelligence forces of the Eighth Route Army plan this attack?
This requires someone to report the movements of the three commanders and the surrounding security forces. These are not easy to obtain information.

"A distance of more than 500 kilometers, how did a mere infantry regiment pass by, and can kill at the same time with one attack..."

Before he could finish his puzzled words, Sanji Okito fell silent.

He thought of that Chen Fan again.

Evidence suggests that this man appears to have had access to classified Imperial information, and more than one.Baoding Yansong Lieutenant General Yucui incident, Li Yunlong sent troops also traveled hundreds of kilometers.

If this person provides information to Li Yunlong.

"Do you still remember the naval gold incident in the Huaihe River?"

Ningji Gangmura reminded.

"Naturally remember."

Sanji Okito nodded:

"But this is just speculation on our part, there is no direct evidence."

"Gibben gave a direction for the investigation. Li Yunlong is producing dynamite. As long as we investigate the traces left on the site to confirm whether it is dynamite and whether there are any wires left, we can determine whether Li Yunlong made it."

Gangcunning looked at his chief of staff:

"In addition, something happened last night."

At this point, Okamura Ningji's expression finally returned to calm:
"Li Yunlong mobilized nearly 8000 troops to attack Zhengtai Railway head-on, bombarded Niangziguan Railway Station, took away more than 5000 meters of railroad tracks, and dismantled a complete train."

"More than 5000 meters of rails were robbed? And a completed train was dismantled?"

Dachengto Sanzhi is very serious about the words "more than 5000 meters" and "demolition":
"What is Jeichi Yoshimoto doing? He was robbed of more than one kilometer of railroad tracks last time, and it happened again this time, and it's even more serious than before. Is his first army trash?"

As for the 8000 people, he simply ignored them.

It is normal for the Eighth Route Army to mobilize so many people. He has seen more than this. As far as he knows, in the so-called base area of ​​Li Yunlong's independent regiment, there is a group of more than 5 people building roads and factories, and the construction efficiency is extremely high. High, he was shocked.

The current war is no longer something that everyone can win.

"because."

Neiji Okamura took a deep breath to avoid his own gaffe:
"The 120 troops that participated in the attack had uniform standard weapons, light machine guns spread to the squad, and a large number of artillery units. There were no less than [-] [-]-caliber heavy mortars, and the total number of mortars was no less than one." Hundreds of doors, sufficient ammunition, and well-trained."

"Last night's battle, the First Army mobilized nearly 6000 people to intercept, not only failed to stop the opponent, but also suffered 1000 or 600 casualties, and more than [-] Yusha."

"Nani?!"

Okito Sanji also showed horror on his face.

Unified standard weapons, machine guns to the squad, more than 120 [-]-caliber mortars, and a total of [-] caliber mortars, it shows that the weapons and equipment of the Eighth Route Army dispatched last night are not weaker or even slightly stronger than the empire's elite second-line division.

In just one night of fighting, more than 6000 troops from the First Army, a full brigade suffered casualties, and more than 600 people died, which shows that this group of Eighth Route Army is well-trained and able to exert the combat effectiveness of these weapons.

From a comprehensive understanding, since there are troops comparable to half of the empire's second-class horse-riding divisions entrenched in the mountainous area of ​​​​northwest Shanxi, with the lack of various resources, the newly formed second-tier divisions, also known as second-tier divisions,

"Didn't Gibbon say that Li Yunlong only has a total strength of 7000, and most of them are new recruits?"

Okito Sanji still remembered the information documents that Yoshimoto submitted not long ago.

"The other party deliberately concealed their strength."

Okamura Ningji sighed slightly:

"Then, we all overlooked one thing, China has abundant resources that the empire and even the whole world envy."

"They used to lack materials to mobilize this resource, but now, that Chen Fan has provided Li Yunlong with a large amount of food, sufficient weapons and ammunition, and the guerrillas who have been entrenched in the mountains for a long time also have this organizational ability."

"According to Gibbon, the regular troops of Li Yunlong and the two surrounding Eighth Route Army troops are about 1, and the army is still expanding rapidly."

"1 people, still expanding the army..."

Sanji Okito was stunned.

If this troop strength is matched with the equipment mentioned above and the combat effectiveness shown, the overall strength is basically not weaker than a weaker second-tier empire division.

After adding the large deep bunker group in its base area, if you want to destroy it, you need the strength of two second-line divisions, which is about 5000 people, which is more than the current total strength of the First Army.

"Next month, go to Taiyuan to have a look."

Neiji Okamura said:

"Go and see the actual situation."

As the commander of a front army, he naturally wouldn't judge the situation just by a phone call.

"Hi."

Sanji Okito bowed his head and left.

"Go and call General Shinozuka over."

In the headquarters, Okamura Ningji said to a staff officer.

After the staff officer left, Gangcun Ningci looked at the map hanging on the wall, focusing on the mountainous area in Northwest Shanxi.

He still remembered that when the large-scale public security war ended in mid-December last year, Li Yunlong and his independent regiment suffered heavy losses, as did other Eighth Route Army units.

And how long?It has developed to such an extent.

"If Li Yunlong is really as powerful as Gibbon said, then..."

A sharp light flashed in Okamura Neiji's eyes.

The empire is very difficult now, but it is far from the end of the mountain.

Moreover, as materials from Southeast Asia began to be imported into the country, the supply of materials has also eased. The intuitive performance is that the North China Front Army has obtained [-]% more materials than before.

······
It was nine o'clock in the afternoon.

After a night of rapid marching, Li Yunlong and his convoy had arrived at the horse track in the mountainous area behind Pan County, where they were resting.

The terrain here is complex, which is convenient for the team to avoid air threats. Although it is also easy to be ambushed, the Japanese army in Pan County has been beaten and disabled, and the devils from other places have no time to rush over, so it is safe.

"Guard company."

Li Yunlong called a platoon of guards who came with him.

"Captain."

Several guard company soldiers ran over.

The guard company is responsible for defending the regiment headquarters. Of course, this time it is mainly to protect the safety of the regiment leader. After all, the monk is not there, so he is not assigned to pick up supplies, and his physical strength is still abundant.

"Send someone to..."

Before he finished speaking, Captain Li suddenly changed his tone:
"Send a report to Xinyi Regiment and Xin[-] Regiment."

"Let Commander Ding and Commander Kong come over and distribute the supplies."

"Yes."

After saluting, the soldiers of the guard company immediately ran to the soldiers carrying the radio.

After a while.

In the new second regiment.

"Distribute supplies?"

Kong Jie, who was leading the troops back to the station, sneered after receiving the order.

Although I don't know what Li Yunlong wants to do, it is definitely not about sharing supplies. Li Yunlong will give them what the three of them discussed when they were preparing to form a base.

at the same time.

Ding Wei, who also brought his troops back to Zuojiazhuang, also sneered:
"Distribute supplies?"

······
On a mountain peak more than 100 kilometers away from Zhaojiayu.

Ding····

The System pane automatically expands.

"The death of Shigeru Honjo, the Japanese general, completes the business"

"Price code: two masters of metal machinery, the mall is refreshed, new materials such as reinforced concrete, basic machine tools..."

"The former commander of the Mongolian Army, Lieutenant General Qitian, died, and the current commander, Lieutenant General Qitian, died last month. The price: one master of metal machinery, one master of chemical materials, the amount of supplies... food Quota...」

"The store unlocks new weapons: 160 mortars..."

　There will be two changes tomorrow and an update at night.
