Bright sword, I have a red police base car

"Has Shinozuka Yoshio not been found yet?"

Seeing that it was getting dark, the commander of the First Quick Reaction Battalion asked the company commanders responsible for searching for the Japanese troops.

"Captain, we have dug up the entire Taiyuan area, but we still can't find this old devil! Not to mention Shinozuka Yoshio, even Yamamoto Ikki's special forces have not seen him."

Hearing this, Zuo Zhaoyang frowned, unable to understand where these little Japanese devils could run to.

Then, Zuo Zhaoyang looked at the person in charge of the Intelligence Department in Taiyuan and asked, "Do you have any news about Shinozuka Yoshio?"

"We have two insiders lurking in the First Army's General Staff Headquarters who have lost contact. I estimate that they are most likely with Shinozuka Yoshio. However, we did not have sufficient manpower when they fought in Taiyuan, so there are certain loopholes in our control. We still need to make further judgments."

"Fuck! That old Japanese guy must have run away now!" Zuo Zhaoyang pounded the table regretfully after coming to this conclusion.

Not long after, the commander of the Second Quick Reaction Battalion returned to the headquarters and said to Zuo Zhaoyang, "Okay, Lao Zuo, we just conducted a comprehensive investigation of the people in Taiyuan. When we were harassing the Japanese in Taiyuan, a small convoy of Japanese had already escaped from Taiyuan!"

"Damn it, they really got away!"

After saying that, Zuo Zhaoyang and others began to report the current situation to Daogushan, and made it clear to Daogushan that Shinozuka Yoshio had escaped from their clutches again.

As the current Japanese general who has fought against the Red Alert for the longest time, Yoshio Shinozuka has a very sensitive sense of crisis.

We are already able to predict the actions of the Red Alert Force to a considerable extent.

This is a very tricky thing for the Red Alert, and it shows that the old devil Yoshio Shinozuka has grown quite fully under the "tempering" of the Red Alert.

In order to prevent unnecessary increase in the casualties of the Red Alert soldiers, Chen Xi and Zhang Ning now regard Shinozuka Yoshio as a thorn in their side.

After receiving the news that Shinozuka Yoshio's body had escaped from Daogu Mountain, Chen Xi and Zhang Ning looked at each other and began to discuss whether they should send a separate force to hunt him down.

However, considering the ongoing full-scale counterattack plan, the hunt for Yoshio Shinozuka had to be temporarily suspended.

Anyway, there are two Red Alert spies in his team. When the time is right, he can arrange the troops to carry out precision strikes.

After Taiyuan was captured by the Red Alert Force, the five battalions responsible for the frontal attack served as the vanguard and began to advance from south to north starting from the Dagushan front line, using the entire Shanxi region as the advancement path.

At this time, the two quick response units deployed in Taiyuan also used Taiyuan, a transportation hub, as a node and began to carry out blocking and defense tasks.

Although the Japanese army's current number of troops in Shanxi is completely incapable of continuing to attack the Red Alert Force, the Red Alert Force still has to strictly guard Taiyuan to prevent the five combined battalions attacking from the front from being attacked by the Japanese army during the dispersion period.

Of course, at this time, the Japanese troops stationed in Shanxi were no longer able to attack the Red Alert Force, but the Japanese troops stationed in Mongolia in the north.

If the Japanese troops stationed in Mongolia begin to move south, Taiyuan will be the first line of defense for the Red Alert forces.

After all, Shanxi's terrain is not suitable for large-scale troop deployment. It is enough for the Red Alert Force to deploy five combined battalions and two rapid reaction battalions, as well as a considerable amount of artillery and other support forces here.

The real main force of the Red Alert Force is heading directly to Niangzi Pass along the slender road that has been built in the east.

After the Japanese First Army was completely wiped out, the Japanese in Shanxi had basically no ability to resist.

Therefore, the next step for the Red Alert Force to focus on is the vast plains from Hebei to Shandong.

Chen Xi and Zhang Ning's battle plan was to launch an attack on the Japanese army from two directions. They combined the third and fourth battalions and led eight newly formed battalions to encircle the Japanese army from Niangzi Pass to Shanhaiguan, and then attacked from north to south.

The main force of the Japanese army attacking in Hebei was driven from north to south.

The other route was mainly composed of the armored cluster of the Red Alert Force. After most of the Japanese troops were driven to Shandong, they began to infiltrate and encircle the Japanese troops on the plains.

If the operation goes smoothly, the four Japanese armies in the Hebei direction will all be surrounded in a huge encirclement formed by the Red Alert Force's ten combined battalions and an armored cluster.

In addition, Chen Xi also dispatched two newly formed combined battalions to the naval base in Shandong area.

As the only base of the Red Alert Force with complete land, sea and air combat forces, the combat effectiveness of the naval base should not be underestimated.

In terms of land combat forces, in addition to the troops supporting from Daogu Mountain, there are also a large number of marines.

The combat effectiveness of these troops in combat is even stronger than the 9 numbered main combined battalions of the Red Alert Force!
Dagushan, core area, General Hospital of the Logistics Support Corps.

At this time, Zhang Shijie was still in a coma in the ICU of the general hospital.

According to the military doctor, if a normal person suffered such an injury, they would basically give up on rescuing him. However, because Zhang Shijie had undergone physical enhancement at the Red Alert Base, even though he was seriously injured, he was only able to recover through the body's self-protection mechanism while in a coma.

Now, outside Dagu Mountain, the commander of the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army is waiting for news at the entrance of the base.

As the most important comrade-in-arms and partner of the Eighth Route Army, Zhang Shijie's personal safety is of concern to every senior member of the Eighth Route Army.

After Zhang Shijie's attachment, the logistics support corps launched various large-scale operations.

Abandoning the Henan controlled area, massing troops on a large scale, severely damaging (actually completely annihilating) the Japanese First Army, and launching a full-scale attack on Shanxi.
These large-scale operations were important opportunities for the Eighth Route Army to launch a counterattack.

However, due to Zhang Shijie's serious injury, the Red Alert had no time to coordinate with the Eighth Route Army, so the Eighth Route Army has not yet participated in combat missions.

"Comrade, your headquarters hasn't responded yet?"

Brigade Commander Chen couldn't help feeling anxious as he looked at the tanks and armored vehicles that were driving out of Dagu Mountain and the air force troops that were taking off and landing intensively in the sky.

However, the soldiers of the Red Alert Force had already received a death order when Zhang Shijie was injured: no one was allowed to enter Dagu Mountain!
Even the brigade commander who was like a brother to Zhang Shijie.

"Comrade Brigade Commander, I'm sorry, we haven't received the permission yet!" As expected, the Brigade Commander still did not receive the notification of permission to enter.

Normally, the brigade commander would not be able to tolerate such humiliation, but the Red Alert was different. Ever since Zhang Shijie fell into a coma, the entire Red Alert had gone crazy and would start fighting at the slightest disagreement.

Under such circumstances, the brigade commander and other Eighth Route Army commanders could only express their understanding.

At this time, after Chen Xi finished the next battle plan, he finally saw the message sent by the Security Department and learned that the brigade commander was waiting outside Daogu Mountain.

"Notify the Security Department to allow Brigade Commander Chen to pass, but he can only bring one staff officer in. As for the road, please avoid sensitive areas."

"Yes, Chief of Staff!"

As Daogu Mountain was under full martial law at this time, the anti-aircraft missile units and other weapons and equipment that were ahead of their time that had been hidden in the mountain were all revealed by the Red Alert Force, so Chen Xi could only let the troops avoid these locations.

"Sister-in-law! How is my brother now?!"

After seeing Chen Xi, Brigade Commander Chen asked anxiously.

"Shijie is still in a coma. The doctor said his life is not in danger, but he won't wake up for a while."

After hearing that Zhang Shijie would not wake up for a while, the brigade commander asked again: "What is the current situation of your logistics support group? Do you need our support?"

"Shijie was bombed like this by the Japanese. We have begun a full-scale counterattack against the Japanese. If the main force of our Eighth Route Army is capable, it can now join the battle and start a counterattack against the Japanese army. But try not to go to the main battlefield. We are now conducting various forms of encirclement and annihilation operations against the Japanese. Try not to accidentally hurt our own comrades."

After saying that, Chen Xi sent a 200-member liaison team to the Eighth Route Army, and then arranged for someone to send the brigade commander back to the Eighth Route Army's base.

Now Chen Xi had no mood or energy to entertain the brigade commander, so he could only arrange for the troops to contact the Eighth Route Army first. Everything had to wait until Zhang Shijie woke up.

After receiving the news from Chen Xi and the liaison group of the Red Alert Force, the brigade commander immediately began to reorganize his troops and prepare to cooperate with the Red Alert Force to launch an attack on the Japanese army.

At this time, the newly trained troops that took over the Red Alert Force to carry out the Henan disaster relief mission had also successfully completed the mission and returned to the Eighth Route Army.

This was a real shot in the arm for the Eighth Route Army, which had suffered considerable losses in the Japanese attack!

With these 10 well-trained new recruits, the previously lost troops can recover their combat effectiveness in a short period of time.

You know, the 10 new recruits from the Red Alert Force are real technical soldiers. One or two such technical soldiers, combined with a few militiamen, will immediately form a combat-capable technical equipment team!
And after the Red Alert's liaison group arrived, the Eighth Route Army learned even more exciting news.

After the Henan disaster relief plan was launched, a large number of Henan disaster victims entered the vicinity of the Dagushan base. At this time, the production capacity of the industrial zone of the Dagushan base had experienced a blowout development.

From rifles, bullets, grenades to airplanes, 152mm artillery, and 59 tanks, all have been mass-produced in the industrial zone at this time!
However, as for things like heavy artillery and tanks, the Red Alert force must give priority to supplying the Red Alert soldiers that are constantly recruited in the base barracks, so there is not much production capacity that can be allocated to the Eighth Route Army. However, equipment such as light and heavy machine guns, mortars, anti-aircraft machine guns, etc. can still be basically supplied to the Eighth Route Army.

In addition, the Red Alert force has now been fully equipped with Type 81-1 automatic rifles, and the large number of Type 56 submachine guns previously in stock will also be supplied on a large scale to the Eighth Route Army.

However, the number of these fully automatic weapons is limited after all, and they cannot be seized by the Japanese, so they are only equipped as weapons for elite troops within the Eighth Route Army.

At this time, in Li Yunlong's New 1st Regiment in Zhaojiayu, the Eighth Route Army's unified reinforcement troops had all arrived.

As a Type A regiment, Li Yunlong's New 1st Regiment has also received a certain degree of organizational reinforcement after replenishment. The original New 1st Regiment only had three infantry battalions and one artillery battalion. After the replenishment, the current New 1st Regiment has four infantry battalions, one artillery battalion, and one support and guarantee battalion as its overall organization.

In addition to the previous troops, the artillery battalion was also strengthened with an additional 37mm anti-aircraft artillery company.

Just when Li Yunlong got the new staffing table and was as happy as a child, calls from Kong Jie and Ding Wei made most of his joy disappear.

"Damn it, after all this time, isn't this just a special treatment for me?! Are all the Type A regiments in our Eighth Route Army organized like this?!"

Li Yunlong, who originally wanted to suppress his two old comrades, instantly became dispirited after learning of this situation.

However, the addition of troops and the expansion of organization still made the officers and soldiers of the new regiment overjoyed.

Regarding the new personnel composition, Li Yunlong, Zhao Gang, Zhang Dabiao and other officers at all levels of the new regiment held a general meeting of all soldiers for the new troops.

Just after the meeting ended, Monk Wei rushed to Li Yunlong's side, bent down and whispered to Li Yunlong what he had just learned.

"Damn it! How did Blind Cheng get advanced weapons? I taught him how to shoot a gun step by step, and now he's riding on my head and shitting on me? He's rebelling!"

"What's wrong, Lao Li?" Seeing Li Yunlong so excited, Zhao Gang couldn't help but ask.

"The Logistics Support Corps has given us a batch of new rifles. I don't know what tricks Cheng Xiazi used to get 200 new rifles. I have to talk to the brigade commander about this!"

Zhao Gang asked in confusion, "Wasn't Commander Cheng's 772nd Regiment sent to Fengyang to support the Fengyang base of the Logistics Support Regiment? Their combat intensity is so high that even new rifles may not be enough, right?"

After hearing what Zhao Gang said, Li Yunlong remembered the situation of the 772nd Regiment, so he stopped talking.

At this time, Xiuqin, who was not far away, was thinking about something secretly.

Just like the original plot, Xiuqin developed some strange feelings for Li Yunlong during the period of contact with him. However, Li Yunlong was a regiment commander who had experienced the Long March, and as the director of the Women's Rescue Association, she had fewer opportunities to contact Li Yunlong.

But for Xiuqin, this is definitely a rare opportunity to get in touch with Li Yunlong.

"Logistics support group? New rifles? Looks like I have to go find my brother."

At the same time, in the Red Alert's equipment department, a large number of Type 56 submachine guns and Type 56 semi-automatic rifles have begun to be loaded onto trucks and transported in batches from the Red Alert's replacement equipment warehouse to the headquarters of the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army.
