Anti-Japanese War: I have unlimited assistance

Chapter 141 It’s Li Yunlong again!
Kong Jie said: "Our regiment suffered 21 casualties, 7 killed and 14 wounded."

Ding Wei said, "Our regiment suffered 36 casualties, 15 killed and 21 wounded. Lao Li, how many casualties did your regiment suffer?"

Although the independent regiment fought an ambush, the Japanese also fought back, so the ambush troops also suffered casualties.

Ding Wei's troops suffered even greater casualties. Last night, in order to cover the artillery unit's feigned retreat and lure the Japanese tanks into the ambush circle, the New Third Regiment exchanged fire with the Japanese tanks at a long distance.

Although it was at night, the firepower of the Japanese tanks should not be underestimated.

Fortunately, the distance was far and the troops were relatively dispersed, so the Japanese tanks did not cause much casualties to the New Third Regiment.

War means death.

But the soldiers' sacrifice was worth it. They exchanged their sacrifice for the loss of 28 Japanese tanks and the killing of hundreds of Japanese tank soldiers.

"How many casualties?"

Li Yunlong laughed and said:

"I'm going to shock you by telling you this, but our regiment suffered zero casualties. This time, the casualty ratio between the New 0st Regiment and the Japanese was 1 to ."

"Zero casualties?"

Ding Wei and Kong Jie were so shocked that they almost jumped up. Their first reaction was that Li Yunlong was bragging.

But if you think about it carefully and calmly, it is not impossible.

Last night, most of the artillery shells and mortars were distributed to Li Yunlong's New 3000st Regiment, with more than mortar grenades alone.

On average, each Japanese artilleryman in the field gas team would be allocated three mortar grenades.

Not to mention the spread of poison gas, which caused the Japanese soldiers who survived the bombardment to inhale the poison gas and completely lose their ability to resist.

Li Yunlong was very satisfied with the reactions of Ding Wei and Kong Jie. This guy pretended to be simple and unpretentious.

Li Yunlong said.

"In fact, God helped me a lot last night. If the southeast wind hadn't suddenly blown up, I'm sure our regiment would have suffered casualties."

"However, I have to say that the Japanese's poison gas bombs are really powerful. Just inhaling even a little bit will make you lose your ability to move."

"Unfortunately, using this thing violates international law, so our Eighth Route Army can't use it. I had the Second Battalion Commander turn the remaining detonated poison gas bombs into a series of booby traps to make breakfast for the Japanese."

Ding Wei and Kong Jie were immediately amused. This kid Li Yunlong was so cunning that he gave the Japanese a brace.

I guess the Japanese had a full breakfast.

Ding Wei said: "I have a way to make the Japanese dare not use poison gas bombs on the battlefield."

Li Yunlong: "What method?"

Ding Wei said, "That means we also use poison gas bombs, and we have more poison gas bombs than the Japanese. This will scare the Japanese and they will never dare to use poison gas bombs on the battlefield again. Lao Li, don't you have Boss Lin? Why don't you ask Boss Lin?"

"Old Ding, you're just talking nonsense," Kong Jie said. "The Japs are worse than pigs and dogs when it comes to using poison gas bombs. Can our Eighth Route Army be as good as the Japs?"

Li Yunlong also shook his head: "It's better not to touch poison gas bombs."

If he wanted to use poison gas bombs, Li Yunlong would have brought back all the captured poison gas bombs and not left them all for the Japanese to use as breakfast.

After a pause, Li Yunlong continued, "But Old Ding, you did remind me. Last time, Boss Lin said that if I invented a coded telegram to cause a mental attack on the Japanese, just like the victory at Wangdongbao, and sent a telegram mocking Itagaki as the transport captain of our Eighth Route Army, I could also get a reward of weapons and ammunition."

Ding Wei said, "There's such a thing? Boss Lin is really a man of character. No, he's a wealthy man."

Kong Jie said, "Old Li, what are you waiting for? Send a clear-text telegram quickly to mock the Japs."

Li Yunlong said: "No rush, first send a telegram to the division headquarters to report the situation."

Then Li Yunlong turned around and shouted to Zhao Gang, who was within ten steps, "Xiao Zhao."

After Zhao Gang finished his noodles, he was flipping through the book "How Special Forces Soldiers Are Trained" that he carried with him, and stopped at the page about special forces snipers.

This military textbook opened Zhao Gang's eyes. In addition to text, it also included pictures. On the first page of the sniper chapter, there was a special forces sniper wearing a ghillie suit and an optical sight on his chest. There was also a detailed introduction to the sniper, as well as detailed training methods and combat skills.

Looking at this picture and the detailed introduction of the sniper, Zhao Gang couldn't help but feel excited. He felt that he had found the direction of training.

Hearing Li Yunlong calling him, Zhao Gang quickly closed the textbook and walked up to Li Yunlong: "Here."

Li Yunlong said, "Immediately draft a telegram to send to headquarters. The gist of it is that our three regiments have completed their mission, completely annihilated the Japanese field gas team, destroyed 28 Japanese tanks, the New 36st Regiment suffered zero casualties, the New 21rd Regiment suffered casualties, and the Independent Regiment suffered casualties. Our three regiments are currently on their way back to the base."

Based on Li Yunlong's oral narration, Zhao Gang quickly polished and drafted a telegram.

Zhao Gang handed the drafted telegram to Li Yunlong and said, "Captain, the telegram has been drafted. Please take a look and sign it if it's all right."

Kong Jie came over to take a look and said, "Colonel Zhao's handwriting is really beautiful, and his writing style is also very impressive!"

"Of course. Staff Officer Zhao is a top student at Yenching University in Peking, a true intellectual."

Li Yunlong took the telegram and pen and chuckled.

Kong Jie and Ding Wei were both a little envious. Li Yunlong was really lucky. His superiors had assigned him a college student combat staff officer.

After signing his name with great fanfare, Li Yunlong thought for a moment and said:
"Xiao Zhao, draft another clear-code telegram to the Japanese. Tell them that it was I, Li Yunlong, who completely wiped out the Japanese field gas unit in Taigu and destroyed 28 of their tanks. If you have the guts, come to southeastern Shanxi to seek revenge on me, Li Yunlong. If I encounter the Japanese gas unit on the battlefield again, I'll kill them all without leaving a single one alive."

Zhao Gang quickly drafted a plain text telegram, and Li Yunlong took it and took a look.

Ding Wei and Kong Jie came over to take a look and also admired Zhao Gang's writing style.

Li Yunlong spoke in plain language, but Zhao Gang polished it in a semi-classical style.

Li Yunlong thought to himself, others may not know, but the Japanese and the National Army will think that it was written by Li Yunlong himself, and think that he, Li Yunlong, is a cultured person and a great intellectual.

"very good."

Li Yunlong nodded with satisfaction:

"Xiao Zhao, have Xiao Zhang send both telegrams immediately. Remember not to send them to the wrong ones."

You have to have a college student around you, because he can curse people without using any swear words.

"Yes."

Zhao Gang, holding two telegrams, walked quickly towards the radio operator Zhang Zhilian. ...

Who was the first to know about the battle near Taigu?
Of course, Yan Laoxi, who regarded Taiyuan as his base, was the first to receive the news.

Early in the morning.

Linfen.

Yan Laoxi is convening a meeting to protect Shanxi from the officers above the rank of division commander of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army.

The name was indeed loud and clear. Taiyuan had been lost, but Linfen must not be lost. The defense line in Lingshi area must become the burial place of the Japanese army.

"commander."

Chief of Staff Chu Xichun, holding a telegram in his hand, pushed the door open and walked into the conference room. He walked over to Yan Laoxi with a look of shock on his face.

"Just received a tip from an insider in Taigu that an army launched a surprise attack on the Japanese field gas unit and the 1st Independent Mixed Brigade in Taigu at dawn."

Yan Laoxi deployed a large number of intelligence personnel in Taiyuan and its surrounding areas. He was the first to receive news of any movement in Taiyuan and its vicinity.

The Japanese were helpless about this, after all, this was Yan Laoxi's lair.

It is impossible for the Japanese to eliminate these Jinsui Army intelligence personnel in a short period of time, and it will be difficult to eliminate them for a long time. After all, Yan Laoxi has been operating here for decades. Any ordinary citizen here, even the surrendered puppet army, may be Yan Laoxi's intelligence personnel.

"Staff Officer Chu, don't you see we're in a meeting right now?"

Yan Laoxi looked displeased. It was just a small guerrilla group. What was there to report?
Chu Xichun is usually very sensible, why is he so reckless today!

Before leaving Taiyuan, Yan Laoxi also ordered some small units of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army to stay in Taiyuan and Taigu to fight guerrilla warfare, imitating the Eighth Route Army and waiting for opportunities to attack the Japanese army's logistics supply lines.

"commander."

But Chu Xichun's eyes and expression were still shocked:
"Intelligence personnel report that over 1000 Japanese field gas battalions stationed in Taigu were completely wiped out, and approximately 1 tanks of the 30st Independent Mixed Brigade of the Japanese Army were destroyed."

"What do you mean?"

Yan Laoxi's voice suddenly rose, with a questioning look and tone:
"The guerrillas wiped out 1000 Japanese troops in Taigu? Destroyed 30 Japanese tanks?"

All officers above the rank of division commander widened their eyes in disbelief. Which guerrilla force was so powerful?
On the front line, the casualty ratio between the Chinese and Japanese armies was about 5 to 1.

For example, in the Battle of Taiyuan, the Chinese army suffered more than 10 casualties, while the Japanese army suffered more than 2 casualties.

Normally, it would cost 1000 Chinese soldiers to kill 5000 Japanese soldiers; it would take a company of soldiers to destroy a Japanese tank, and it might not be successful.

Killing 1000 Japanese soldiers and destroying 28 tanks was nothing. The number of Japanese soldiers killed and tanks destroyed in the Battle of Xinkou far exceeded this figure.

but!

If this achievement was achieved by a small guerrilla force, it would be incredible.

If this is true, not only will Yan Laoxi reward him heavily, but even Chiang Kai-shek will have to reward him personally.

"Yes, Commander, the intelligence is confirmed."

Chu Xichun reported:

"Our intelligence officers saw with their own eyes the destroyed Japanese tanks and the bodies of Japanese field gas squads. In addition, there were more than 300 Japanese soldiers who were poisoned by the Japanese army's own gas."

"Hiss!" Not only Yan Laoxi, but also a group of Shanxi-Suiyuan Army officers took a breath of cold air almost at the same time.

"Who did it?"

Yan Laoxi asked in a deep voice.

The officers of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army were also very curious. Who was so powerful that he could kill so many Japanese soldiers and tanks?

Yan Laoxi's insider intelligence officer pretended to surrender to the Japanese army and gained their trust, so he knew a lot.

However, since the intelligence personnel had just joined the "puppet army" and did not have a high status in the puppet army, they did not know that it was the Eighth Route Army that did it.

Chu Xichun said: "It's not clear yet, but I have ordered the intelligence personnel to investigate as soon as possible."

"it is good."

Yan Laoxi nodded and said, "We must find out as soon as possible who killed the Japanese poison gas battalion and the Japanese tanks. I will reward him handsomely."

"The sooner the better."

In the Battle of Xinkou and the Battle of East Shanxi, the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army also suffered a lot from the Japanese poison gas battalions and tanks, and many soldiers of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army fell under the Japanese poison gas bombs and tanks. This time, they finally got a chance to show off their strength.

"Yes." Chu Xichun turned and walked out.

Yan Laoxi laughed and said, "I'm afraid our Shanxi-Suiyuan Army will produce a figure like Li Yunlong. He attacked Taigu at night and wiped out the Japanese poison gas battalion, destroying 30 Japanese tanks. He was not only extremely fierce, but also extremely courageous."

Near Taiyuan and Taigu, it was almost only the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army guerrillas that were active. Who else could have done it if not the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army?
"Congratulations, Commander. Congratulations, Commander."

"Congratulations, Commander, for getting a powerful general."

A group of Shanxi-Suiyuan Army officers patted the horses wildly.

Yan Laoxi made up his mind to promote this officer three levels in a row.

As Chu Xichun walked out of the conference room, he ran into the communications staff who came to report with a plain text telegram in his hand. He took the telegram, looked at it, and then quickly returned to the conference room.

"Commander, we have checked it out."

Chu Xichun walked quickly into the conference room and handed the telegram to Yan Laoxi to report:

"It was Li Yunlong of the Eighth Route Army who did it. He just sent a clear-text telegram."

"Li Yunlong again?"

Yan Laoxi took the telegram, and his face, which had been smiling a second ago, suddenly fell.
