Chapter 490 Anti-sweeping plan!
Kong Jie reminded: "Old Li, you must not be careless in the face of the Japanese Army's Class A Division."

"After we crossed the Yellow River, the main force of the 115th Division was at Pingxingguan. It ambushed the supply troops of the 5st Brigade of the 21th Division of the Japanese Army. It was only a narrow victory, and the casualty ratio was almost 1:1."

"You know, most of the fighters who participated in the battle of Pingxingguan have been baptized for 2 miles, and their fighting will and combat ability are extremely strong."

"And the opponent is just a supply unit, and they are fighting so hard. It is conceivable that there are more regular field troops in the Japanese Army's Type A Division."

The 5th Division is one of the standing divisions of the Japanese Army, known as the Steel Army, and participated in almost all wars of aggression against China: the Sino-Japanese War, the Eight-Power Allied Forces, the Russo-Japanese War, and the Chinese War of Resistance Against Japan.

The 5st Brigade, which belongs to the 21th Division, is the elite of the Type A divisions and is known as the flower of the army.

However, most of this flower of the army was wiped out by the Fifth Army of the National Army at Kunlun Pass. Even the brigade commander Masao Nakamura was killed, and more than 85% of the non-commissioned officers above Cao Chang died.

The total strength of the Type A Division of the Japanese Army is more than 2 people.

Li Yunlong estimated that the Xinyi Regiment now has more than 2 people, and when this batch of business is completed, the Xinyi Regiment can expand to nearly 3 people.

The Japanese Type A Division has tanks and armored vehicles, as well as large-caliber heavy artillery, and even air support.

"Oh?" Ding Wei suddenly became interested and asked, "Old Li, have you figured out anything?"

The plane door was pushed open, and Yoshio Iwamatsu came down with a folder under his arm.

"Don't worry, we're on the same boat now, and we, Lao Li, won't treat you badly."

Commander Li Versailles said: "Is it so happy to live the life of a teacher?"

Li Yunlong expected that the Japanese army would retaliate wildly, so apart from his daily work and study, Li Yunlong had been thinking about the anti-sweeping plan.

"The devils will definitely attack from the north, east and south of Northwest Shanxi."

"Hi!" Arisue Seizo made a gesture of invitation, "General, please get in the car!"

"Come to pick me up?" Yoshio Iwamatsu had a surprised expression on his face, but at the same time was a little moved in his heart.

It is completely possible to fight a positional battle with the devils. The machine gun has enough bullets, and if it is not enough, it can be air-dropped.

After reading it, Li Yunlong looked at Ding Wei and Kong Jie: "Haha, Lao Ding and Lao Kong, I want to congratulate you on getting rich!"

Kong Jie said: "Old Li, you have so much cement and steel bars here, it is no problem to build a thicker bunker, but Lao Ding and I don't have cement and steel bars."

Now the main force of the Independent Regiment and the New Second Regiment each have 4000 people, of which more than 800 are composed of artillery and logistics personnel.

"In addition to digging tunnels on the road that the devils must pass, we also need to build more dark forts. The dark forts should be built according to the devil's standards, so as to delay the enemy's attack and consume the enemy's vitality."

This time, we will get 3 M600 submachine guns by taking down 3 counties outside Datong.

The advantage of an armored car is that it is bulletproof. There are also bulletproof cars for cars these days, but they are very rare.

Ding Wei's defense area is in the south of Northwest Shanxi, and Kong Jie's defense area is in the north of Northwest Shanxi.

"I am satisfied with Lao Ding." Kong Jie said, "I can't compare with you, Lao Li. Now I live the life of a military commander, and my equipment is better than that of Lao Jiang's ace army."

Almost all the main infantry of the Independent Regiment and the New Second Regiment can be replaced.

Yoshio Yanmatsu said: "There is the last king, why is it you?"

A KI57 transport plane landed slowly on the runway.

It's hard to say whether the new regiment has tanks. I have to ask Boss Chen first, but there are large-caliber heavy artillery and air support.

Right now, it's not just the New First Regiment, Ding Wei's New Second Regiment and Kong Jie's Independent Regiment both have sufficient ammunition.

But Yoshio Iwamatsu didn't blame Okamura Ningji, who called himself the defeated general?

The eyes of Ding Wei and Kong Jie lit up quickly, and Ding Wei hurriedly asked, "Is it American equipment?"

Ding Wei asked: "Old Li, what is your anti-sweeping plan?"

Lieutenant General Jing Guanren, the head of the 36th Division, was killed in battle, the 36th Division was severely damaged, and Yan Xishan failed to lure him to surrender.
At the moment, under the protection of several guards, Yoshio Iwamatsu is preparing to walk to the North China Front Army Command.

After the former deputy chief of staff of the North China Front Army, Hirata Masanani, was shot dead by Zhao Gang at Niangziguan, Arisue Seizo took over the post of Hirata Masanani.

But the crux of the problem is that the Japanese army must have more than one division.

Li Yunlong chuckled and said, "Of course we have to make preparations early. In fact, from the day we set foot in Northwest Shanxi, our old Li has been thinking about this matter."

Ding Wei also said: "This person is more deadly than others, and he has to be thrown away when he compares goods. There is someone behind you, Lao Li, who will take care of you. From now on, Lao Li and Lao Kong will not be greedy for meat. Just give us a drink of soup."

Li Yunlong's defense area is in the middle of Northwest Shanxi, close to the Tongpu Railway.

The difficulty is to protect the common people and break through.

……

Thinking of this, Kong Jie raised his wine bowl and said, "Haha, Lao Ding, I want to congratulate you, you are going to be a teacher!"

The convoy arrived at No. [-] Iron Lion Alley, which is the headquarters of the North China Front Army.

"I haven't made a specific anti-mopping plan yet." Li Yunlong said, "But I already have a preliminary idea."

Neiji Okamura raised his head and said solemnly, "Iwamatsu-kun has worked hard, please sit down!"

"what idea?"

"Didn't Lao Li just seize more than 240 mule carts from the devils?" Ding Wei said, "Just use the mule carts to transport the cement and steel bars to us."

The corner of Li Yunlong's mouth twitched slightly, this batch of equipment was going to be handed over to the headquarters anyway, the head of the headquarters gave this batch of equipment to Ding Wei and Kong Jie, Li Yunlong was also happy for them.

The convoy stopped in front of Yoshio Iwamatsu and others. Amid Yoshio Iwamatsu's surprised expression, Seizo Arisue, deputy chief of staff of the North China Front Army, got off the armored vehicle.

In the original play, the independent regiment led by Li Yunlong suffered two-thirds of the casualties in order to protect the common people during the May [-]st raid.

"When the exhaustion is almost exhausted, let's lure the enemy deeper and concentrate the main force to eliminate the devils."

After Ningji Okamura came to power, he carried out a campaign to strengthen public security and implemented the Sanguang policy against the soldiers and civilians in the base areas of the Eighth Route Army.

The transport plane stopped on the auxiliary runway, and several ground crew members hurriedly moved the ladder over and put it in front of the cabin door.

Half of the weapons and ammunition can be enough for a 7500-man army, and then divided into half, Ding Wei and Kong Jie can each get more than 3200 weapons and equipment.

Because Lao Li can reimburse them for weapons and ammunition.

After eating a large piece of meat, Li Yunlong said again: "I will pay on credit with Boss Chen. I will prepay part of the cement and steel bars in advance, and send them to you by airdrop."

"Drive our Eighth Route Army and the people in Northwest Shanxi to the west towards the Yellow River."

Although there are no roads in the three bases, there are horse tracks and mule carts can pass.

The Eighth Route Army would not be like Principal Chang, in order to delay the Japanese army's attack, it would not hesitate to drown nearly a million people and make millions of people displaced.

"Lao Li's analysis makes sense." Kong Jie nodded and said, "If I were Ningji Okamura and Yoshio Iwamatsu, I would do the same!"

In the face of the raids by the Japanese army, the Eighth Route Army not only had to fight the Japanese army, but also to protect the safety of the common people.

"This tactic is very good!" Ding Wei nodded in praise. He knew the power of tunnel tactics. In the Battle of Baozi Mountain, more than 1000 troops wiped out more than 3000 Japanese troops.

However, before Yoshio Iwamatsu left the airport, an armored vehicle and two trucks drove over from the airport entrance.

"Northwest Shanxi is mainly dominated by mountains, which are very suitable for tunnels and reverse slope operations."

With a laugh, Li Yunlong said: "No problem, I will give you two more 100 M3 submachine guns."

The stronger Ding Wei's new second regiment and Kong Jie's independent regiment are, the greater Li Yunlong's confidence in winning the anti-sweeping operation will be.

Although the soldiers of the New Second Regiment and the Independent Regiment were studying the book on Tunnel and Reverse Slope Tactics, they hadn't actually fought it yet.

Ding Wei also smiled and said nothing, but from the upward curve of his mouth, it can be seen how happy he is at the moment.

The weapons and ammunition equipped by the new regiment are not all American equipment, but they are mainly American equipment. As powerful as the firepower is, it would be a lie to say that Ding Wei and Kong Jie are not envious.

And 1000 tons of weapons and ammunition can equip almost 1 troops.

Li Yunlong then said: "The head of the headquarters commended our three regiments in the telegram. This time the business earned 1000 tons of weapons and equipment. In addition, the head of the headquarters also ordered our new regiment to launch a large-scale attack on the Tongpu Railway in the near future."

Peking Airport.

Moreover, after this batch of American equipment was given to Ding Wei and Kong Jie, the Independent Regiment and the New Second Regiment could only follow Li Yunlong's command to replenish ammunition in the future.

Looking at the empty runway, Yoshio Iwamatsu felt a bit of bitterness in his heart.

At that time, just after the Battle of Taiyuan, the headquarters of the Japanese First Army was taken away, and Yoshio Shinozuka was killed.

In fact, if the Eighth Route Army is facing the raids of the devils, if they abandon the common people, with the fighting will and organization of the Eighth Route Army, it will not be difficult to break through.

"Oh?" Ding Wei and Kong Jie were both surprised and delighted when they heard that they could still pay on credit and advance supplies, so they raised their postures.

"Your Excellency, General!" Yoshio Iwamatsu bowed his head nervously to Ningji Okamura, "The defeated general Yoshio Iwamatsu was ordered to report to you."

Li Yunlong said: "Don't talk about it, it really made me figure out something."

If it is combined with a thickened reinforced concrete bunker to form crossfire, the power may be unbelievable.

Ding Wei and Kong Jie glanced at each other quickly, and then looked at Li Yunlong. Kong Jie asked eagerly: "Old Li, tell me clearly, why am I making money with Lao Ding?"

This is the treatment of losing a battle. General Okamura did not send a car to pick him up.

Li Yunlong said: "You have also seen this thickened blockhouse. It is not an ordinary blockhouse. The materials needed are several times that of ordinary reinforced concrete blockhouses. My cement and steel bars are at most enough for my place."

Plus the capture in the battle this time, and a share of the business that Li Yunlong promised.

But what Li Yunlong didn't expect was that instead of waiting for the Japanese raid, the 36th Division of the Japanese Army came instead, and after the 36th Division arrived in Northwest Shanxi, it was still blockading there.

The main reason is that Li Yunlong has won too many victories over the past year. Kong Jie was afraid that he would be too arrogant, so he reminded him like this.
"Old Li, Captain Kong is right, we have to make preparations early." Zhao Gang also said with a solemn expression.

After getting off the car, led by Seizo Arisue, Yoshio Iwamatsu finally came to the office and met Neiji Okamura.

Kong Jie was a little dumbfounded, and quickly asked: "Then Lao Ding and I will only use those tunnel tactics?"

This gave the new regiment an opportunity to grow and expand. The new regiment expanded to 1 people at once, and then severely damaged the 5th division of the Japanese army.

"I estimate that the little devil's attack is not small, at least there are more than 4 divisions."

"Youmo-kun, thank you for your hard work." Yoshio Iwamatsu nodded and got into the armored vehicle.

Yumo Jingsan hurriedly paused and said: "General Yansong, General Gangcun ordered me to come to the airport to pick up the general and go to the headquarters. I was delayed by a small incident on the way. Please forgive me, General."

"Look at how promising you are."

"When we are about to reach the Yellow River, we will dispatch planes to blow up the ferries and boats along the Yellow River, so that the little devils can drive us all into the Yellow River."

"This attack on the 36th Division captured about 4000 tons of cement and steel bars."

Although the land in Northwest Shanxi is barren and water is scarce, the people in Northwest Shanxi are nice and support the work of the Eighth Route Army.

The tactic of rushing up to fight the devils hand-to-hand with bayonets after firing three or five bullets is gone forever.

Unless it was absolutely necessary, Li Yunlong really didn't want to leave Northwest Shanxi and Zhaojiayu. After all, Xinyituan's airport, munitions warehouse, and grain warehouse were all located here.

Devils have logistical supplies, but Xinyituan also has airdrops.

"Of course it's American equipment."

Li Yunlong took the telegram from the telegraph operator and read it. The decoder turned and left, and everyone stopped discussing.

Then Yoshio Iwamatsu's guards jumped into the truck, and the convoy headed for Beiping City.

Going back this time, both Ding Wei and Kong Jie were able to expand their regiments to about 1 people.

At this moment, the code-breaker of the Xinyi Regiment came in with a telegram in his hand, gave a military salute, and said, "Report to the regiment commander, a telegram from the headquarters!"

Kong Jie was immediately happy when he heard the words: "Haha, American equipment, Lao Ding, we two really got rich this time!"

However, Arisue Seizo's rank is Colonel.

Li Yunlong is really not afraid of driving head-to-head with a Japanese Type-A division.

Ding Wei picked up the wine bowl and bumped into Kong Jie: "Old Kong, let's be happy together, you're going to be a teacher too."

……

Li Yunlong said in a concentrated voice: "This time our anti-mopping up will mainly focus on positional warfare and mobile warfare."

"Hi!"

Neiji Okamura came out from behind the desk, sat down face to face with Yoshio Iwamatsu, and immediately a guard brought freshly brewed tea.

"Your Excellency, General!" Yoshio Iwamatsu said, "The 36th Division in the Battle of Northwest Shanxi suffered a disastrous defeat. Lieutenant General Jing Guanren was crushed. As the commander of the First Army, I have an inescapable responsibility. Please punish him, Your Excellency."

Neiji Okamura waved his hand and said, "Iwasong-kun, this time you came to Beiping not to hold the 36th Division accountable for the defeat, but to discuss how to eliminate Li Yunlong and the Eighth Route Army in Northwest Shanxi, and how to wash away the shame of the North China Front Army." !"
