Rise from the sword

Chapter 533 Li Yunlong's Unreasonable Playing Cards!

"Do you have detailed information?"

Yokoyama asked quickly.

The Changheng operation he commanded is about to enter a critical stage. The army has completed the initial deployment and is about to launch an attack on Changsha and Sha. If the independent regiment really builds an airport behind him, then his attack plan will have to be greatly changed, at least The scale is halved, and even the attack is suspended.

This is not the Central Henan area.

Although the fruit-preserved troops he faced at this time still had various problems, such as overlapping command authority, fighting independently, and lack of supplies, they were much stronger than the Tang Corps in Yuzhong, and had more troops, so they should not be underestimated. .

If you don't pay attention, there will be big problems.

Once this group of troops has large-scale air support, like locusts at the level of the battle in central Henan, hundreds of sorties a day, hundreds of tons of ammunition fall on the locust army, let alone win, his hundreds of thousands of troops are afraid If it doesn't work out, it will be severely injured.

"It's currently under investigation."

The staff officer bowed his head and answered.

"idiot."

Yokoyama stared angrily on the spot and cursed:
"The enemy is building an airport in the rear, and the intelligence department doesn't know the details?"

"Trash, a bunch of trash."

"Is this how you are loyal to the Emperor?"

After a series of swearing, Yokoyama still felt uncomfortable in his heart. He felt that he was holding a breath in his heart and couldn't spit it out or swallow it.

Very aggrieved.

This is also normal.

During this period of time, although the coalition forces under his command had a smooth battle in the Battle of Changheng, the actual progress of the battle was far behind the planned progress, which was completely different from the Battle of Central Henan.

Moreover, the expected annihilation of Guoguo's main force has never been completed. The opponent is very slippery and has never given him a chance.

He was always extremely anxious.

The appearance of the independent regiment plane at this time completely crushed him.

In the end, stimulated by uncontrollable anger, he stepped up and slapped the staff officer, turning the staff officer 720 degrees, twisting the staff officer on the ground, bleeding from the corner of his mouth.

"Hi."

The staff officer hurriedly got up, while wiping the corners of his mouth, he continued to lower his head.

The staff officer is suffering.

This matter was due to the unfavorable work of the intelligence department and the fault of the special high-tech department. As a result, he was slapped, but he had nothing to say.He could only swallow the beating silently.

"Order the intelligence department to start the investigation immediately. Within three days, not within two days, I want detailed information."

Yokoyama Isamu was full of murderous spirit:
"Otherwise, I will personally report the matter to the Prime Minister."

"Hi."

The staff officer's voice trembled, but he also breathed a sigh of relief.

The Independence Regiment belongs to the Eighth Route Army. Unlike Guoguo, the intelligence department of this group is not easy to get, but it is much easier to investigate than that 'Chen Fan'.

······
After the staff left.

Isamu Yokoyama held his emperor's bestowed samurai sword, paced back and forth in the headquarters, and looked at the combat map on the table and the information collected by the intelligence department from time to time, his eyes contemplative.

He is thinking.

In deduction.

Is it possible for the independent regiment to intervene in the battle of Changheng?

He has paid attention to Li Yunlong for a long time, and he also knows the situation of the independent group very well.

Generally speaking, it is impossible for the independent regiment to intervene in the battle of Changheng.

Li Yunlong's site is far away in Shanxi, more than 600 kilometers away from the Changheng area in a straight line. During this period, he crossed complex areas, and support was not so easy. The limitation of logistics supplies made it impossible for his army to provide large-scale support.

Moreover, its main force is attacking the Mongolian Army, encircling the First Army, and at most sending a small group of troops to harass it.

No matter how powerful the so-called special operations are, the impact on a battle of hundreds of thousands is almost zero.

Unless Li Yunlong can kill Isamu Yokoyama, but there are several regiments around his headquarters, the surrounding area is heavily populated, and the guards have also received anti-special operations training from members of Yamamoto's special team, so it is impossible for small groups of troops to approach.

The plane is fine, the Air Force is notoriously long-handed.

However, Li Yunlong's nearest airport, Jincheng Airport, is more than 700 kilometers away from the Changheng area in a straight line. At this distance, unless it is a long-range heavy bomber, it cannot intervene.

There is currently no information indicating that Li Yunlong has long-range heavy bombers.

Thinking of this, Yokoyama rubbed his forehead, he felt a little headache.

That's the problem.

Theoretically, it is impossible for Li Yunlong to intervene in the battle of Changheng.

However, Li Yunlong, who has emerged since Sakata Shinzhe was killed, has shown in every battle that this person never plays cards according to common sense, and he cannot be speculated with conventional thinking.

None of the things this guy has done is beyond common sense.

Therefore, for this person, we can only believe it.

Li Yunlong has an airport and a transport plane, which can transport materials and fly more than 600 kilometers. According to the latest information, the independent regiment transport planes appeared in Song County on a large scale, and an independent regiment began to expand the airport in Song County.

Song County is only about [-] kilometers away from the straight line of the Changheng theater.

If Li Yunlong provides supplies by air, build an airport near Song County...

Thinking of this, Yokoyama felt his head hurt even more.

Logically speaking, this is impossible for him.

Jincheng Airport is more than 600 kilometers away from Songxian County. Relying on transport planes to transport supplies to meet the scale of a field airport capable of interfering with hundreds of thousands of troops, the cost is unimaginable.

Air freight is the most expensive of all transportation, and it is not at 01:30.

But Li Yunlong and his independent regiment cannot be speculated with common sense. Like this person's behavior, the independent regiment's supplies are unbelievably sufficient and unreasonable.

If it is an independent group, it is Li Yunlong, this is entirely possible.

According to the performance of the independent regiment's aircraft in the Battle of Yuzhong.

The so-called "bomb truck" aircraft has a large ammunition load, can carry more than two tons of ammunition in one sortie, and has a long range. It can support more than 200 kilometers with a full load, and even 350 kilometers away with a light load.

If this person builds a field airport based on Songxian Airport, he only needs to maintain the scale of [-] aircraft, and he can completely affect the direction of the Changheng Battle.With the planes he has now, he can't even deal with the China-US Joint Flying Team, let alone the planes of the Independence Regiment.

and.

In case, Li Yunlong really has a long-range heavy bomber!
Bombers like the Americans have four engines and can fly thousands of kilometers with tons of explosives at a time.

With that Chen Fan around, this is entirely possible.

"Hey···"

Isamu Yokoyama rubbed his forehead again, and sighed deeply.

An unreasonable opponent.

Make him feel tired.

Finally, Isamu Yokoyama put down his samurai sword and picked up the phone:
"Get me the commander of the North China Front, General Gangcun."

He can't deal with Li Yunlong, so leave it to others.

·····
After half an hour.

Shanxi.

Tai and Yuan, in the headquarters of the First Army.

"Shinozuka-kun."

Yoshio Shinozuka was answering the phone, and the voice of Okamura came from the microphone:
"What is the current situation of the First Army?"

Gangcun's tone seemed gentle and casual, but if you listened carefully, you could hear the obvious tension.

His North China Front Army is licking its wounds, recuperating, organizing recruit training, and recovering its combat effectiveness. However, due to the lack of supplies, the recovery speed is almost zero. As a commander, he is very busy, but he has not forgotten to pay attention to the surrounding area. situation.

He knew very well that there was still a terrifying army entrenched in Shanxi.Once this group of people sprang out, it would definitely have an earth-shaking impact on the situation in the Republic of China.Fortunately, there is currently the first army to contain them.

This time, he was asking about Li Yunlong's situation on behalf of Heng Shanyong.To judge whether Li Yunlong will intervene in the Changheng battle on a large scale.

"General."

Shinozuka Yoshio first sighed, and then replied in an extremely bitter tone:

"The situation in Shanxi is very bad."

"Although Li Yunlong did not launch a military operation against the First Army, his troops have already surrounded the First Army. At this time, the First Army is like a rabbit caught in a trap."

"As long as Li Yunlong thinks the time is right, he can wipe out the First Army."

"Total annihilation..."

After hearing this word, Ningji Gangmura was silent for a while, and finally couldn't help asking:

"you sure."

The First Army currently has a total strength of 10.

Although there is a lack of heavy weapons, although there is a lack of logistical supplies, although most of them are recruits, although there is a lack of officers, and although they are not even equipped with uniforms... But this is still a 10-strong, six-figure force.

10 million people!
Not a hundred thousand pigs.

After the training method explored by Yamamoto, coupled with sufficient food supply, the morale of these recruits is very good.As a senior lieutenant general, Yoshio Shinozuka has a strong command ability. Tai and Yuan also have fortresses comparable to battleships.

Tubalu wants to wipe out the First Army. Although they are very strong, and the elite troops are stronger than the Class A Division, it may not be so easy.

Pigs can run, let alone people.

Even if the First Army cannot defeat them, they can escape and organize a retreat. If the Independent Regiment really launches an attack, then the base camp will never allow 10 people to be wiped out.

"General."

Shinozuka Yoshio didn't bother to explain in detail, so he directly characterized it:
"If the independent regiment launches an attack, it will take at least two months and at most four months. All the troops of the First Army, including Tai and Yuan, will be destroyed. There is no other possibility."

seeing is believing.

Only by seeing the current situation in Shanxi with your own eyes can you know how bad the situation of the First Army is now.

To say that the First Army is a duck in Li Yunlong's mouth is actually a compliment to the First Army. After all, there is an old saying that a cooked duck may fly away, but the First Army has absolutely no way out.

To put it bluntly, the first army at this time is a wild duck that has been plucked, cut into pieces, braised, and put into Li Yunlong's bowl. I want to stop talking.

Although he prepared a few hard bones, those large fortresses, and the elite regiments stationed in the fortresses, stored a large amount of supplies, and estimated that it would take some time for Li Yunlong to knock out a few front teeth, but this is irrelevant. The first army will still be wiped out.

Li Yunlong has good teeth, so what if a few of his teeth are knocked out?It took a while to grow up.

As for retreat, or surrender.

The base camp did not allow him to retreat, and asked him to defend the Taiyuan and Yuan to collect fuel for the empire many times. Moreover, Li Yunlong and Tuba Road seemed reluctant for him to retreat. They sent troops to block almost all intersections, and could cut off his retreat route at any time.

If they surrendered, they wouldn't give them a chance at all, and they would be bombarded with fire when they met. They made it clear that they only wanted to wipe out the imperial army and their lives.

"Is the situation so serious?"

Gangcun was stunned for a while before speaking.

"It's more serious than expected."

Shinozuka Yoshio's tone was a little startling:

"The growth rate of their strength is much, much faster than we expected. A rough estimate shows that the total number of troops surrounding our First Army is no less than 27, and they are uniformly equipped with more than 75 artillery pieces with a caliber of [-] or more. Regular troops."

"And there's a militia force of more than 10 people."

"The organizational skills of this group of people are too strong."

It is now mid-June, and eighteen months ago, he organized 10 troops to launch a sweeping campaign, and the group of guerrillas ran away with their heads in their hands. Now, these people have surrounded the [-] people of the First Army with their backhands. , intending to annihilate them all.

And during the period, they also launched an attack on the troops stationed in Mongolia.

Even with an unlimited supply of supplies, this is very scary.

"More than 27..."

"Two thousand three hundred 75 and above barrel artillery (including 82 mortars, 120 mortars)."

Gangcun Ningci Nannan talked to himself, and fell into a daze for a while.

Even without counting the militia, this force is more than that of the North China Front Army at its peak.

The number of artillery is also crushing the North China Front Army, and this is the data after excluding 60 mortars and recoilless guns.Even if it is subtracted by half, it will surpass the peak period of the North China Front Army.

"Shinozuka-kun."

After a moment of silence, Okamura Ningji went straight to the point:
"Is it possible for Li Yunlong to intervene in the Changheng battle on a large scale?"

The base camp continued to strengthen the First Army. In addition to the attractiveness of the fuel thrown by Li Yunlong, there was another idea, that is to let the First Army contain this group of Tubalu.The longer it is held back, the more time the Empire has to respond.

"Intervene in the Changheng battle on a large scale?"

Faced with this question, Yoshio Shinozuka fell into deep thought again.

Rational analysis shows that this is absolutely impossible. Li Yunlong's site is more than 600 kilometers away from the Changheng area in a straight line. Even if he wanted to intervene, it would be beyond his reach.

But the problem is, the opponent is Li Yunlong.

A person who cannot use common sense, common sense to speculate.

Shinozuka Yoshio began to speculate on the phone:

"Li Yunlong wants to intervene in the Changheng Battle on a large scale, so he can only rely on the air force."

"According to the current information, he does not have a heavy bomber, and his main combat aircraft has a combat radius of only about [-] kilometers. Therefore, if Li Yunlong wants to intervene in the Changheng battle, he needs a forward supply base near the Changheng area, and it is a large supply base. .”

"Although that kind of twin-engine transport aircraft can fly more than 600 kilometers with cargo, the number is limited and the capacity is insufficient. It can only carry five tons at a time, and it is seriously affected by the weather. Unless there are more than two hundred aircraft, it can meet the minimum requirements for large-scale intervention." supply needs."

"They have no shortage of planes, but the independent regiment lacks pilots."

Recently, Shinozuka Yoshio tried his best to inquire about the information of the Independence Regiment, and with the spread of the Independence Regiment's shops, there was no way to hide some things, so he found out a lot of genuine things.

"Therefore, unless someone provides pilots for him, it is absolutely impossible for Li Yunlong to intervene in the Changheng battle on a large scale."

Hearing Yoshio Shinozuka's analysis, Okamura Ningji nodded frequently and smiled involuntarily.Sure enough, Yoshio Shinozuka was the most suitable to deal with Li Yunlong.

But this smile disappeared quickly, because Shinozuka Yoshio said quietly again:

"But, this is just common sense."

"Based on the experience of the past few years and the existing information, it has never been accurate to speculate on Li Yunlong's next actions."

"Information proves that Li Yunlong does not have a long-range heavy bomber, but it does not mean that Li Yunlong does not have one. According to intelligence, it is impossible for Li Yunlong to intervene in the Changheng battle on a large scale, nor does it mean that Li Yunlong will not intervene on a large scale."

"So please tell Mr. Hengshan that it is best to prepare for Li Yunlong's large-scale intervention in Changheng's battle."

Neji Okamura:

"..."

Isn't this a bunch of nonsense?

Before Komura complained, Shinozuka Yoshio added:
"However, although the Tuba Road is very strong, especially Li Yunlong, who has already realized the mechanization of troops, the backward infrastructure of the Republic of China prevents it from exerting its full strength. It is currently preparing to wipe out our first army. Coupled with the distance, he The possibility of intervening in the battle of Changheng is not high."

"Ah."

Gangcun was a little satisfied with this answer.

Reasonable.

The First Army with a size of 600 is right in front of us. We don't want to destroy it, but support Changheng from more than [-] kilometers away. No matter how you think about it, no one will do it, not even Li Yunlong.

"In addition, I will order the intelligence department to investigate whether Li Yunlong has the idea of ​​intervening in the battle of Changheng."

Shinozuka Yoshio said finally.

"Yo Xi."

These words finally satisfied Gangcun.

Regarding the intelligence investigation of the Independent Group and Li Yunlong, Yoshio Shinozuka, who has been operating in Shanxi for a long time, is much more effective than Hi-Tech.Yamamoto's intelligence ability is quite good.

······
at the same time.

"You want to intervene in the battle in the Changheng area?"

Ping An County.

Independent group meeting room.

After formulating the combat steps to wipe out the First Army, Li Yunlong came up with an idea, and everyone in the meeting dropped their jaws in surprise.

Intervene in the battle of Changheng, and intervene on a large scale.

"Kong Jie has established an airport in Songxian County, Jiangxi Province. The attack aircraft that take off there can support Changheng operations under light loads. However, the support is limited at this distance, and no matter how large the Songxian Airport is, considering the air transportation capacity It can only provide low-intensity combat with a maximum of [-] attack aircraft.”

"Air support on this scale is a drop in the bucket."

Ding Wei quickly deduced and came to a conclusion:

"And we have no way to send air force observers to the ground, and the air support will be very ineffective."

The Battle of Yuzhong was right next to the Independent Regiment, and with the [-]th Regiment participating in the battle, the Independent Regiment could intervene, but the Battle of Changheng was the main territory of the government, so it was impossible for the Independent Regiment to send people there.

Not to mention the logistics supply problem.

The Independent Regiment now has two transport brigades with [-] transport planes, theoretically able to transport [-] tons of supplies to Song County a day, enough to maintain [-] sorties of 'bomb trucks' per day.

However, air transportation is severely restricted by the weather. Now it is rainy season in the south, air transportation is unstable, and most of the transport aircraft pilots are novices, so high-intensity long-distance flying is very prone to problems.

"Yes, Commander, the Changheng area is too far away, and our logistical supply capacity does not support us to intervene in this battle on a large scale."

The rest of the people also persuaded, including Zhang Dabiao and other independent group elders.

But among those who participated in the meeting, only Zhao Gang did not speak, and his expression was very calm.

"Logistics supply?"

Li Yunlong glanced at everyone in surprise, and said:

"Relying on our own transportation capacity, it is naturally impossible to intervene in the Changheng Battle on a large scale, but well, our independent regiment already has a base in the south and a warehouse."

Having said this, everyone immediately understood.

"You plan to ask Boss Chen to come..."

Ding Wei's eyes lit up.

The independent regiment couldn't transport supplies there, but someone could, and there were as many as they wanted.The reason why the current independent group base on the seaside is developing smoothly is because Boss Chen provides door-to-door service of supplies.

As long as there is a base area, which is occupied by the independent regiment, then door-to-door delivery can be provided.

Limited by their unfamiliarity with Boss Chen, they were often unable to consider this relationship.

But Li Yunlong held the communicator in his hand, and contacted Boss Chen anytime and anywhere, and knew exactly where Boss Chen's power could be used.Of course, there is Political Commissar Zhao.

"Hey hey..."

Li Yunlong smiled:
"I have already contacted Kong Jie and asked him to continue to expand the base area southward, establish a solid base area and warehouse near Tongshan County, and build a front-line airport."

"It's surrounded by mountains, and there are no large troops stationed there, so it's very suitable for developing base areas."

"And the farthest distance from Changheng area is only [-] kilometers."

"I have already organized the technical staff for the construction, and they are ready to go at any time."

Zhao Gang added.
