People are shining their swords, secretly helping the Iron Triangle in Northwest Shanxi

Chapter 136 Li Yunlong Wants to Join in the Fun
After the Command of the Garrison Army in Mongolia was contacted by the Command of the First Army, Lieutenant General Naozaburo Okabe attached great importance to this.

Okabe Naozaburo was the first chief of staff of the North China Front Army, and he once assisted the first commander Terauchi Shouichi in commanding operations.

Therefore, he still has a good network in the North China Front Army Command, and Yoshio Shinozuka's First Army was hit hard one after another.

Naozaburo Okabe is aware of the detailed combat losses of the Third Wing and the Fourth Independent Mixed Brigade.

Knowing that the independent 48th Brigade's attack might threaten the Tongpu Railway, the Mongolian Army did not neglect.

Okabe Naozaburo contacted the 26th Division as soon as possible and gave detailed combat arrangements.

The 26th Division Headquarters here is based on its subordinate 13th Independent Infantry Regiment as the core, forming the Harada Detachment.

The Harada Detachment has 13 Independent Infantry Regiments, the First Brigade of Mountain Artillery, and the First Brigade of Engineers, with a total strength of more than 5000 people.

From Lieutenant General Naozaburo Okabe, Commander of the Garrison in Mongolia, to Lieutenant General Shigetoku Kuroda, Commander of the 26th Division, they attached great importance to this operation.

Colonel Harada, who commanded the operation, received telegrams from them one after another.

Both Naozaburo Okabe and Shigetoku Kuroda are emphasizing that the enemy must not be underestimated just because the opponent is the Jinsui Army.

They asked Colonel Harada to treat each other as the most elite troops, and he should not be careless in the slightest.

After all, Naozaburo Okabe knew the strength of this army, and he was afraid that his troops would also suffer heavy casualties.

After Mr. Harada received these telegrams, he responded respectfully, but in his heart, he didn't take it too seriously.

In the view of Harada Dazuo, he has more than 5000 troops in his hands, not to mention dealing with the Jinsui Army with only two to three thousand troops.

Even if they deal with more than 1 elite Central Army, they have an absolute chance of winning.

The 26th Division also belongs to the triple division, but their situation is different from the three security divisions under the First Army.

After the full-scale war between the two sides in 37, the strength of the [-] permanent divisions of the Japanese army was obviously insufficient.

So it didn't take long for them to form eight ad hoc divisions and revive two permanent divisions.

However, as the two sides continued to fight in central and northern China, especially in the Songhu area, the two sides invested millions of troops in the battle.

The Japanese army felt that there was a shortage of troops, so in the follow-up, they formed seven triple regiments to form field divisions.

The 26th Division was organized at this time, and this unit belongs to the field division.

Its predecessor was the Mixed 11th Brigade, a dispatch division affiliated to the formation of the Kwantung Army.

The Japanese mixed 11th brigade is completely different from the current Japanese independent mixed brigade. These mixed brigades belong to the field brigade.

The 11th Mixed Brigade is a field force formed by the Kwantung Army in 34 years. It has the 11th and 12th independent infantry regiments under its jurisdiction, and artillery and other units directly under it.

These troops have strong combat effectiveness, and the little devils are independently mixed into brigades, which are not at the same level as them.

Even in the 36th Division, 37th Division, 41st Division and 26th Division in the southern Shanxi area, there is a huge gap in combat effectiveness.

It was precisely because of this that Harada Dazuo didn't take the warnings from the General Headquarters and the Division Headquarters seriously.

The Mongolian Army organized the Harada Detachment, with a strength of more than 5000 people and a strong overall strength.

This force completed its assembly and quickly approached the railway, ready for mobile operations.

The first army transferred the sixth, seventh, and eighth independent infantry brigades under the independent mixed third brigade as the core, and formed the Sato detachment.

Yoshio Shinozuka supplemented these three independent infantry brigades with corresponding combat forces, allowing them to meet the standards of field brigades.

At the same time, Shinozuka Yoshio mobilized a field artillery brigade, and a cavalry squadron was strengthened into this unit.

The total strength of the Sato detachment is also more than 4000 people, and Sato Nakazusa, who commands the operations, is the staff member of the first section of the First Army Command.

He has relatively strong abilities, and was personally appointed by Shinozuka Yoshio.

At this time, the Sato detachment also advanced towards the Tongpu Railway one after another, making preparations for battle.

The total strength of the two detachments of the Japanese army is about 1, which shows how much they attach importance to Chen Ziyun's army.

At the same time, the second section of the First Army Command has mobilized all intelligence personnel to pay close attention to the situation near the railway.

A large number of puppet army traitors were mobilized one after another, and they wanted to search for the whereabouts of Chen Ziyun's troops.

Once Chen Ziyun's troops are discovered, the First Army will decisively launch a north-south attack to curb their attacks and ensure the absolute safety of the railway.

Chen Ziyun was completely ignorant of the deployment of the Japanese army, and he still commanded the troops to advance towards the railway.

The troops currently under Chen Ziyun's command are not weak. There are two infantry battalions, one artillery battalion, a guard company, a cavalry company, and a supply company.

More than 200 people from Zhang Wu's cavalry company have already been dispersed. They are responsible for guiding the troops to advance and preventing the main force from being exposed and attacked.

Wu Ziqiang's Fifth Independent Infantry Battalion and Shi Yuframe's Sixth Independent Infantry Battalion advanced forward and backward respectively.

The artillery battalion is attached to the guard company, and it is marching in the middle. Chen Ziyun is currently following the artillery unit.

Up to now, they have marched one after another, and there has been no battle for the time being.

It was at this time that Yangcun Xinyi regiment was in the regiment headquarters.

Li Yunlong stood in front of the map with his big eyes wide open, and he looked outside from time to time.

"Old Li, what's the matter, let us come over at night, you can't call if you have anything to do."

"Old Li, do you want to disobey the order and go out to fight without authorization? Why didn't you learn any lessons from before?"

While Li Yunlong was looking forward to it, the voices of Ding Wei and Kong Jie came from outside.

The two of them came to the house with exhausted faces. After seeing Li Yunlong, they couldn't help complaining.

"Old Ding, Lao Kong, that is to say, we are old comrades in arms for many years. Otherwise, with your attitude, let alone eating meat, I won't even give you a sip of soup."

"Our old Li only thinks about you when there are good things, but you are good, and you even complained about me. Next time there are good things, I will definitely not call you."

Hearing Kong Jie and Ding Wei's complaints, Li Yunlong stared and shouted directly.

The Independent 48th Brigade is currently stationed near Yang Village, and Chen Ziyun led the troops into action, and it was impossible to hide the truth from the Xinyi Regiment.

There are more than 2000 troops, a large number of heavy weapons and equipment, and eight mountain artillery and field artillery.

If Xinyituan didn't notice such a movement, then Li Yunlong would be nothing.

After knowing that Chu Yunfei's troops were dispatched, Li Yunlong immediately reacted. He knew that the Jinsui army must be looking for the little devils to fight.

And there are a lot of artillery, he speculates that Chen Ziyun is probably in command of this force.

By now, Li Yunlong probably also knew that Chen Ziyun must have been the one who helped him several times before.

Therefore, it is speculated that Chen Ziyun commanded the troops to attack the Japanese army. In Li Yunlong's heart, he was as uncomfortable as a cat scratching.

Not to mention that Chen Ziyun gave him support several times, Chen Ziyun played a decisive role in the development of Xinyituan to the present level.

Out of emotion and reason, Chen Ziyun commanded the troops to fight, so he, Li Yunlong, would help the situation no matter what.

Even if you don't talk about these things, the Xinyi regiment has never suffered a loss after fighting with Chen Ziyun several times.

On the contrary, they can get benefits every time, and their own strength continues to expand.

Thinking of these things, Li Yunlong made a decision directly.

On the one hand, he arranged for personnel to follow the dynamics of Chen Ziyun's troops, and on the other hand, he quickly contacted Kong Jie and Ding Wei.

After all, the Xinyi regiment is the security force of the general headquarters anyway, and Li Yunlong still knows how to measure it.

"Now there is a chance to make a fortune, are you willing to make a fortune with me!"

"Chu Yunfei's troops are dispatched, and they are going to attack the little devil."

"If we can go there together, I dare not say anything else, and we can get some benefits no matter what."

"The eight cannons of the Jinsui Army have been dispatched, and the scale of this battle cannot be small."

"Old Ding, Lao Kong, don't waste time, are you willing to attack with me?"

Li Yunlong came to the map, and he began to introduce the situation.

Ding Wei and Kong Jie were a little moved when they heard this.

Among other things, their troops have gained a lot of benefits in these few battles.

Of course, compared with the Xinyi Regiment, they are still far behind, so they want to fight again and expand their strength through capture.

They are also old comrades in arms. Li Yunlong's new regiment has more than 2000 troops and excellent weapons and equipment.

And their troops only have more than 1000 people, and there is a big gap in weapons. They must be a little unconvinced.

"Old Li, we are now the security force of the headquarters, and we will be held accountable for attacking without authorization."

"You have forgotten what happened to the brigade last time. Once you investigate it, you might be dismissed."

"Should we contact the brigade headquarters to report this matter..."

The honest man Ding Wei hesitated, and immediately spoke.

Up to now, the brigade headquarters has been transferred, and they can't keep in touch by phone.

As for the radio, not to mention Li Yunlong's new regiment, even the earliest main regiments were not equipped with radio treatment.

So they mainly rely on messengers for communication. If you ask for instructions now, the day lily will be cold.

"Lao Li, Lao Kong is right, we..."

Even Ding Wei, who is also a stabbing head, is a little hesitant about this matter.

After all, the headquarters is behind them. If there is an accident, the consequences will be too serious.

"What are you thinking? The main force of our three regiments will not move, and we will draw a unit from each regiment for a joint attack."

"We dispatched one battalion from each regiment, that's three battalions, and more than 1000 people have done a lot of things."

"The main forces of the regiments will be fine if they stay here. The main force of the little devils is fighting in the south, and there are not many defensive troops left."

"What's more, we are actively attacking here, and they don't have many troops. It is impossible for them to attack."

"Think about it, when you were at the brigade headquarters, the brigade commander said that if you can cooperate with them in combat, try to cooperate with them."

"Even if we investigate it afterwards, we are not carrying out the order of the brigade commander."

"Old Ding, Lao Kong, please give me a quick word, don't waste my time here."

Li Yunlong looked at Ding Wei and Kong Jie, and said with an anxious expression on his face.

Ding Wei and Kong Jie glanced at each other, and they looked at Lao Li again.

"There is nothing in this world that you, Li Yunlong, dare not do."

"If it weren't for my old comrades in arms for many years, even if you gave me an artillery company, I wouldn't do such a risky thing with you."

"Lao Li, let's make an agreement to keep in touch at any time. If something happens here, you have to withdraw immediately."

"And you have to personally command the troops to fight. If the Jinsui army withdraws, you have to withdraw immediately."

Ding Wei and Kong Jie told them in detail that they agreed to Li Yunlong's invitation to fight.

Soon, the first battalion of the new regiment, the fourth battalion of the new second regiment, and the seventh battalion of the independent regiment assembled more than 1000 troops.

The other three regiments also cobbled together four 90MM mortars. Under the command of Li Yunlong, they quickly attacked.

As for the new first regiment and the new second regiment, under the unified and coordinated command of Ding Wei, they will perform defensive tasks on the spot.

Li Yunlong moved quickly with his troops, and they began to chase Chen Ziyun's troops, intending to follow them in combat operations.

At this time, the sky has gradually become brighter. After six o'clock, the fiery red sun has begun to appear in the easternmost part of the sky.

Chen Ziyun led his troops to hide in different areas. He took out the battle map and checked it in detail.

The task given to him by the system was to destroy the northern section of the Tongpu Railway and destroy the blockhouses built along the railway.

This task is not too difficult, after all, the artillery battalion's eight cannons all have a certain range.

They hardly need to dispatch troops, and they can destroy these bunker towers just by launching shelling.

But the so-called gunshots are worth ten thousand taels of gold.

If the shells are shot out, there must be something to gain.

Without any loot, Chen Ziyun was reluctant to waste shells.

After all, the thousand rounds of the six Bofors cannons were bought in real money, so Chen Ziyun should cherish them.

"Wenbo, your observation team is spreading out to measure relevant data."

"Chu Yu, your guard company has dispatched troops to assist the observation team in their operations and ensure their safety."

"Battalion Commander Liang, Company Commander Li, your artillery units are looking for a suitable position and building a sheltered position."

After Chen Ziyun made some observations, he directly issued a combat order to the artillery battalion.

"Yes." After receiving the order, several officers saluted and agreed immediately.

As for the two infantry battalions, they were deployed nearby by Chen Ziyun and built bunkers on the spot.

It was daytime now, and Chen Ziyun didn't plan to launch a combat operation.

The target of more than 2000 troops is too large. Once they are exposed, it will definitely have an impact on subsequent operations.

Chen Ziyun planned to observe in detail during the day and fight at night.

After he is ready to go to war, he will complete the system tasks as soon as possible.

The battalions immediately went into action, and they carried out different operational orders.

Zhang Wu, the company commander of the cavalry company, stayed by Chen Ziyun's side.

"Commander Chen, those eight roads are still following, do you want to drive them away?"

After there was no one around, Zhang Wu looked at Chen Ziyun and asked directly.

The new regiment sent troops to pay attention to the actions of Chen Ziyun's troops. Of course, they had been discovered by the cavalry company long ago.

"Don't pay attention to them, they pose no threat to us." Chen Ziyun shook his head.

Chen Ziyun didn't need to think about the origin of this Eight Route Army, it must be the new regiment.

As for what they wanted to do, Chen Ziyun knew better.

He was about to attack the Japanese army, and Li Yunlong would definitely join in the fun.
