Anti-Japanese War: I have unlimited assistance

Chapter 193: Killing someone means paying with your life, it is only natural!

"Your Excellency, the division commander, Wuxiang County in southeastern Shanxi is under attack."

Yamashita Tomoyuki, who had just been called out of bed and heard the report from Chief of Staff Colonel Uchida Ginnosuke, his face changed and he woke up instantly.

"What did you say?" Yamashita Fengwen asked in a deep voice, "Wuxiang County was attacked?"

"Hi."

Uchida Ginnosuke also looked grim:
"We just received a report from Major Tanaka, the military police captain stationed in Wuxiang County, that Wuxiang County was attacked by the New 1st Regiment of the Eighth Route Army."

The Japanese headquarters in Wuxiang County was attacked just as they started sending telegrams.

So the Japanese directly called the 20th Division Headquarters via radio and asked for support.

The Japanese in Wuxiang County belonged to the 39th Brigade, but the 39th Brigade Headquarters had been wiped out and had not yet been reorganized, so they could only call on the division headquarters.

"The New 1st Regiment of the Eighth Route Army again? Li Yunlong?"

"This Li Yunlong is really haunting and omnipresent."

Yamashita Tomoyuki's face suddenly turned gloomy and he felt a slight headache.

Wangdongbao, Daixian Airport, Guangyang Highway, Lubei Village, Yangquan... Li Yunlong's troops were present almost every time the locust army suffered major losses.

This time, Li Yunlong led his troops to attack the important Wuxiang County in southeastern Shanxi.

Yamashita Fengwen took a deep breath and said, "Order the locust troops and locust support troops from Xiangyuan, Changzhi, Licheng, Qinxian, and Yushe to immediately set out to reinforce Wuxiang County."

"Order the aviation unit to prepare and depart after daybreak to provide air support to the locust army in Wuxiang County."

"Order Major Tanaka of Wuxiang County to prepare to blow up the arsenal and granary."

"Once the Eighth Route Army enters the city, immediately blow up the arsenal and granary. Don't leave a single bullet or grain for them."

The New 1st Regiment even captured Yangquan County, let alone Wuxiang County?
Therefore, Yamashita Tomoyuki made preparations for both scenarios, so that in case the war went against him, he could reduce some losses.

"Hi."

The communications staff officer suddenly lowered his head, turned around and quickly went to the telegraph room to deliver the order.

"General."

But after a while, the communications officer hurried back, with an ugly expression and a flustered tone:
"Just now, the radio operator called the Wuxiang Military Police by radio. The Eighth Route Army answered and said that Major Tanaka had been killed and that the Eighth Route Army had captured Wuxiang County."

Having said this, the communications staff officer stopped, bowed and stood with his hands behind his back.

Although the other party asked Yamashita Tomoyuki to wash his neck, he dared not say it out loud.

The current division commander is in a rage, and if we kill him with a knife, his death will be in vain.

"So fast?"

Yamashita Tomoyuki and Uchida Ginnosuke were both suddenly shocked.

Uchida Ginnosuke's face suddenly showed an expression of disbelief and shock. He glanced at his watch and said, "Only ten minutes later, Wuxiang County was captured by the Eighth Route Army?"

In Wuxiang County, there is a gendarmerie of 200 people, an elite squadron of 200 people, and a locust army infantry battalion of 400 people stationed.

The total force was 800 people, and with the city wall as a fortress position, even if the Eighth Route Army mobilized its entire army, it would be impossible to capture Wuxiang County within a dozen minutes.

This is not in line with the laws of war.

"In the end what happened?"

The Japanese soldiers present looked at each other, with doubts in their eyes.

"Understood. Order the reinforcements and aviation units to remain on standby."

Yamashita Tomoyuki waved his hand, signaling the communications staff to leave.

"Hi."

The communications staff officer suddenly lowered his head, as if he had been pardoned, turned around and walked away quickly.

"idiot."

In the end, Yamashita Tomoyuki could only curse angrily.

Now Yamashita Tomoyuki hopes that Commander Katsuki Seiji and Chief of Staff Okabe Naosaburo will arrive in Taiyuan as soon as possible to take up the posts of commander of the First Army.

In this way, the ones who will have a headache are Seiji Kazuki and Naosaburo Okabe.

……

at the same time.

Southeastern Shanxi.

Wuxiang County.

Li Yunlong rushed to the Japanese military police headquarters carrying a Desert Eagle, and Xiong Shanglin hurried forward to report:

"Reporting to the regiment commander, the Blade Commando has successfully completed the decapitation mission, eliminating over 50 Japanese soldiers below the rank of Major. Only one soldier of our unit was slightly injured."

Li Yunlong nodded with satisfaction: "Well done."

This decapitation mission is just a small test for Li Yunlong to use his skills in the Blade Commando Team. There will be more important tasks in the future.

At this moment, Wei Qiang and Wang Hongcai also ran over to report that the reconnaissance platoon and the special forces company commandos had completed their mission.

Li Yunlong's expression grew increasingly satisfied. The three hidden troops had all completed their mission, successfully capturing the arsenal, granary, and gendarmerie headquarters.

"Da da da…"

"Boom boom boom..."

Fierce gunfire was heard from the south of the city.

Li Yunlong found a ladder, climbed up to the south city wall, and looked through the telescope.

On the south city wall, dozens of battlements were spewing long tongues of fire, and bullets were flying as densely as locusts in the night sky.

"what happened?"

Li Yunlong frowned:
"Why are there so many enemies on the south wall?"

Zhang Dabiao ran over and said, "Commander, under our fierce attack, all the Japanese puppet troops on the east and west walls have fled to the south wall."

Xiong Shanglin's expression changed. "Captain, just before our Sharp Blade Commando attacked the Military Police Headquarters, we saw a squadron and two companies of Japanese soldiers heading towards the south city wall, about 20 minutes before the signal flare was fired."

"I understand." Li Yunlong's brain was so sharp that he guessed the reason in an instant. "It must be that our attack plan with the 2nd Company of the puppet army from the south gate was leaked. The Japanese and the puppet army ambushed us on the south city wall. As soon as we entered the city through the gate, the 400 Japanese and puppet soldiers immediately opened fire and shot our troops to death at the foot of the south city wall."

"Since the Japanese were well prepared, our lurking troops should have alerted them. How come the lurking plan went so smoothly?" Zhao Gang asked in a puzzled tone.

"The Japanese must have known about this not long ago, otherwise it would be impossible for them to make preparations so late." Li Yunlong showed speculation in his eyes.

"Captain, it's a good thing you didn't cooperate with the puppet army." Zhao Gang felt a little scared. If he had really cooperated with the puppet army to attack from the south city wall, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

"Humph." Li Yunlong snorted coldly: "It's these puppet troops that I'm guarding against."

But Li Yunlong, who had a fierce expression in the previous second, smiled in the next second:
"The Japanese and puppet troops all gathered on the city wall. It was a godsend."

"Xiao Zhao, pass on my order. Set up all the mortars, infantry guns, mountain guns, and machine guns. Aim at the south wall and prepare to fire."

If it were a street battle, the New 1st Regiment would have to work hard to deal with these Japanese devils and puppet troops.

Fighting house by house and street by street, the New 1st Regiment's submachine gun firepower will have some advantages, but clearing out these Japanese devils and puppet troops will waste a lot of time and cost many soldiers.

"Yes."

Zhao Gang quickly went to convey the order.

……

The New 1st Regiment had completely surrounded and killed four or five hundred Japanese devils and puppet troops on the south city wall.

There were large numbers of New 1st Regiment troops both inside and outside the city.

As Li Yunlong's order was issued, the soldiers temporarily stopped the attack.

While the artillery units were preparing to fire, Li Yunlong was not idle either. He ordered the propaganda officer to speak to the Japanese and puppet troops in order to confuse them.

"We are the New 1st Regiment of the Eighth Route Army, and our commander is Li Yunlong."

Behind a wall, the propaganda chief of the new regiment extended a metal megaphone out of the wall, but hid his body behind the wall and shouted at the Japanese and puppet troops. The propaganda chief had a very loud voice, and his voice almost echoed throughout the entire South City.

As soon as these words were spoken, there was a commotion on the entire south city wall. Li Yunlong's name had long been known throughout Wuxiang County and was a household name. He had earned his reputation by killing one Japanese soldier after another and fighting through bullets and shells.

Even Japanese officers like Takeo Tanaka and Goro Mitani couldn't help but tremble when they heard Li Yunlong's name.

After all, even the commander of the 20th Division, Fumisaburo Kawagishi, and the commander of the 39th Brigade, Yoshito Takagi, died at the hands of Li Yunlong.

Not to mention the puppet soldiers, they would tremble with fear when they heard the name Li Yunlong.

When the people living near the south of the city heard the three words "Li Yunlong", they were no longer afraid and all stuck their heads out to see what was going on.

"Countryman, go back inside, the battle is not over yet."

Seeing this, a soldier immediately said to the fellow villager.

"With Captain Li here, we are not afraid."

A fellow villager said.

The soldiers had no choice but to ask the villagers to stand as far away as possible to avoid being hit by stray bullets.

The propaganda chief's loud voice continued:
"This time we are here mainly to eliminate the devils in Wuxiang County. These devils are extremely evil."

"More than half a month ago, the Japanese invaded Wuxiang County and occupied it. They burned, killed, looted, and nearly razed the entire county to the ground."

"These devils also burned and massacred villages near the county seat. In Mazhuang Village alone, 86 people were killed. In this massacre, more than 200 innocent people in the entire county were tragically killed by these devils."

The propaganda chief's words reminded the puppet army and the common people of the horrific scene when the Japanese invaders first captured Wuxiang County:
After the Japanese attack, corpses littered Wuxiang City. Some had their chests pierced by bayonets, others had their heads smashed by rocks, and some, huddled in corners clutching babies, were already dead. An elderly man had his eyes gouged out and his hands and feet chopped off by the Japanese. A woman in her 30s was stripped naked, raped, and then stabbed in the lower body with a piece of firewood, leaving her face up and dead. Beside her lay a two or three-year-old child, also a bloody mess, lifeless...

"We Chinese have an old saying: 'A life for a life, a debt for a life', it's only right and proper. Our leader has said that we must kill these murderers who are killing the people at all costs."

"Consider that the puppet soldiers also fought against the Japanese, but were deceived by your superiors and became traitors and traitors to the country."

"The purpose of our New 1st Regiment is to wipe out the devils. As long as you lay down your weapons and surrender, our commander promises not to kill you."

"If you can shoot the devils around you and help us eliminate these murderers who are killing the people, you can redeem yourself for your crimes and your past mistakes will be forgiven."

"Otherwise, we will launch an attack and leave no one alive!"
