Anti-Japanese War: I have unlimited assistance

Chapter 220: Victory and surprise, more than one!
"Did Boss Lin's giant helicopter transport the train and rails here?"

"puff…"

Headquarters.

After listening to the report from the deputy chief of staff, the boss was so shocked that he spat out the boiled water in his mouth.

Because the head office had important matters to attend to in the morning, the boss did not go to Huangyadong to personally participate in the receiving work.

But the division commander, deputy deputy chief of general staff, brigade commander Chen and several staff officers all went there, and even arranged a machine gun company at the top of Huangya Cave to prevent being attacked by Japanese planes when receiving the goods. This is enough to show how much the headquarters attaches to this receipt!

In addition, the headquarters transferred a main battalion of the special forces regiment to the vicinity of Huangyadong, responsible for protecting the safety of the Huangyadong Arsenal.

The first thing the Deputy Chief of Staff did upon returning to headquarters was to report to the general manager regarding the receipt of goods.

After listening to the report from the Deputy Chief of General Staff, the boss was so shocked that he lost control of his expression for a moment.

The boss naturally knew about the transportation of equipment and raw materials, and Li Yunlong sent a telegram in advance.

But transporting the train and the rails together is outrageous...

Not only the boss, but also the staff at the headquarters suddenly widened their eyes.

Aren’t Captain Li and Boss Lin too powerful?
"That's right!"

The Deputy Chief of General Staff nodded, a look of shock in his eyes:
"I didn't expect that this kid Li Yunlong would give us such a big surprise."

At present, the Eighth Route Army is short of steel, especially good quality steel.

Not to mention the rails, the Japanese trains are also made entirely of iron, which can be used to make guns, mortars and grenade launchers.

At present, iron is a scarce but very important military resource for the Eighth Route Army.

After a pause, the Deputy Chief of General Staff smiled and said, "This time, Li Yunlong not only obtained a set of equipment and raw materials for producing Czech light machine guns, but also obtained hundreds of tons of steel. He has made another great contribution."

"Also, Boss Lin will also provide a production line, but I don't know what kind of weapons it will be?"

"Haha." The boss smiled broadly. "You know what, I really like this kid Li Yunlong more and more."

After a pause, the boss changed the subject: "Hey, man, how long will it take for this batch of equipment and raw materials to be installed and put into production? The soldiers on the front line are still waiting to use them."

During combat and transportation, the equipment and raw materials are basically not damaged. If there is sufficient electricity, the various parts of the light machine gun can be produced after installation, and finally assembled into a Czech light machine gun.

At present, the Eighth Route Army lacks engineers and technical workers in this field, but there are some, but in very small numbers.

“Not yet!”

The Deputy Chief of General Staff shook his head and explained the reason:

"Previously, our production lines for mortars, grenade launchers, and smokeless powder had almost taken up all the space in Huangya Cave."

"We have already mobilized a group of stonemasons and engineers to dig out the Huangya Cave to expand its interior space, but manual excavation is slow, and it will take at least half a year for these equipment to be put into production."

The area of ​​the natural cave of Huangyadong is about 800 square meters. It is already a bit crowded to accommodate three production lines. It is definitely not enough to add a production line for Czech light machine guns.

If these production lines were placed outside and accidentally bombed by Japanese planes, all the work would be in vain and we would be back to the situation before the Anti-Japanese War.

The boss said, "We have to find a way to speed up the excavation."

The Deputy Chief of General Staff nodded. "We've already hired blasting experts. Using detonators and explosives to blast the excavation should speed things up considerably."

The boss's eyes lit up. "That's a good idea. We have a smokeless powder factory now, so we have no shortage of explosives and detonators. But we must pay attention to safety when blasting."

The Deputy Chief of General Staff then said, "Safety is guaranteed. All explosions will be detonated using detonators modified from telephones."

The boss nodded with satisfaction. Everything was moving in a good direction. The most frightening thing in the war of resistance was the lack of hope. Despair was terrifying.

Just then, the communications staff came in with a telegram in his hand and reported with a salute.

"Report to the commander, the commander of the New 1st Regiment, Li Yunlong, just sent a telegram."

Just now, the Deputy Chief of General Staff had asked the telegraph room to call Li Yunlong back, saying that the goods and surprises had been received, and asked Comrade Li Yunlong to rest assured. He also commended Li Yunlong and the soldiers of the New 1st Regiment.

Li Yunlong sent another message?
The deputy chief of staff said, "Read it!"

The boss and a group of combat staff pricked up their ears to listen to what good news Li Yunlong would send.

The communications chief held the telegram in both hands and read: "To contain the Japanese troops in Mengxian, our Jinzhong base area independent regiment launched an attack on Mengxian County this morning. Our New 77st Regiment's 3nd and 3rd Battalions, Artillery Battalion, and New rd Regiment ambushed the rd Infantry Battalion of the Japanese th Regiment, which was reinforcing Mengxian County. After several hours of fierce fighting, we have completely wiped out the enemy in Mengxian and the Japanese rd Infantry Battalion. The commander of the New st Regiment is Li Yunlong."

Li Yunlong did not report the combat operations of the Independent Regiment and the New Third Regiment. This telegram undoubtedly gave the leaders of the headquarters another victory and surprise.

"Li Yunlong fought brilliantly in this battle."

The boss's eyes suddenly lit up and he looked extremely satisfied.

The Deputy Chief of General Staff praised: "This guy is really good at seizing opportunities. He launched attacks on the Zhengtai Railway and Meng County at the same time, making it impossible for the Japanese to focus on both. This way, the three regiments of Ding, Kong and Li have completely opened up the situation in the Jinzhong base area."

The general nodded. "However, the Jinzhong base is very close to the Zhengtai Road and the Beitongpu Road, posing a significant threat to the enemy. They will undoubtedly launch a massive attack on the Jinzhong base. Order Li Yunlong, Ding Wei, and Kong Jie to be fully prepared to counter the raid, and commend Li, Kong, and Ding's three regiments."

Deputy Chief of General Staff: “Yes.”

……

noon.

Li Yunlong led the ambush troops of the 200st Battalion of the New st Regiment, the Guard Company and the th Company of the nd Battalion to Mengxian County. At this time, the battle of Mengxian County had ended, more than devils were killed, and many puppet troops were captured.

On the streets, people were running around telling each other and celebrating this rare moment of victory.

When Li Yunlong found Kong Jie, Kong Jie was directing troops to move ammunition out of the county's arsenal. The cart behind the big mule was full of ammunition.

"Lao Li, why did you come just now?"

Kong Jie's slightly weathered round face actually had dimples when he smiled:

"We're still waiting for you to share the spoils!"

Li Yunlong asked, "Take all the food, weapons, and ammunition back first. After counting, we will divide them equally among the three regiments. By the way, Lao Kong, our battle plan was to start the siege at 4 o'clock, so why did we start at 3:30?"

Kong Jie said, "The Japanese increased their patrols on the city walls. The commandos of the special forces company were discovered by the Japanese when they were infiltrating, and a firefight broke out early. I had no choice but to order the troops to launch an assault on the city in advance. Fortunately, there was no danger."

"By the way, Lao Li, your sharp blade commando team is extremely powerful."

"If they hadn't infiltrated the city in advance, this battle would have lasted until at least noon today."

Last night, the Sharp Blade Commando infiltrated into the city first. When the exchange of fire broke out on the city wall, the Sharp Blade Commando simultaneously carried out a decapitation operation against the Japanese gendarmerie.

Since there was only one Japanese infantry company in the city, the manpower was seriously insufficient. The Japanese gendarmerie only had one infantry squad, staff and communications personnel of more than 20 people.

The Japanese never thought that they would be attacked. The members of the Blade Commando first cut off the power supply and then sneaked into the gendarmerie headquarters.

Taking advantage of assault rifles and night vision goggles, more than 20 members of the Japanese gendarmerie, including Aoiwa Shigemi, were wiped out in less than three minutes.

Afterwards, the Sharp Blade Commando captured the granary, and more than 20 Japanese devils and traitors defending the granary were wiped out.

After the independent regiment entered the city, the sharp blade commandos and reconnaissance platoon suddenly rushed out from the rear of the Japanese and puppet troops.

The attack caught the Japanese and puppet troops off guard. They were thrown into chaos and were quickly wiped out.

After listening to Kong Jie's account of the Blade Commando's performance last night, Li Yunlong looked very satisfied: "Not bad."

At this moment, Ding Wei, with a pistol hanging from his waist and a dark face, walked over quickly with a big smile:

"Lao Li, Lao Kong, this battle was so damn enjoyable."

"Not a single Japanese infantry battalion from a Type A division escaped."

This group of Japanese soldiers came lightly from the mountain roads, without any heavy weapons, and were surrounded by the troops of the New Third Regiment and the Independent Regiment.

The Japanese rushed into Ding Wei's pocket formation.

More than 30 artillery pieces from the two regiments bombarded the enemy indiscriminately, and hundreds of firepower points consisting of machine guns and submachine guns fired crazily, which directly confused the Japanese. They had powerful combat capabilities but were unable to display them.

Suddenly, Li Yunlong's expression changed. He turned around and shouted, "Xiao Zhang, come here and prepare to send a plaintext telegram."

Xiao Zhang: “Yes.”

……

"waste!"

"Li Dengxingyi is such a loser!"

"idiot!"

Taiyuan.

Japanese First Army Headquarters.

Commander Kazuki Seiji was in a rage, his face looked extremely ugly, his chest was heaving violently, and his eyes were blazing.

The commander of the 77th Infantry Regiment had already submitted a battle report. Not only had the military train been ambushed and looted, but even the county seat of Meng County had been captured by the Eighth Route Army. The 3rd Infantry Battalion had been completely wiped out, and over 100 trucks and 6 armored vehicles had been destroyed.

This series of losses made Katsuki Seiji, the newly appointed commander of the First Army, unable to help but speak ill of him.

obviously.

General Terauchi Hisaichi would only blame him for this series of defeats and losses, making him, the commander of the First Army, take the responsibility.

At this moment, the communications staff came in with a telegram in his hand. He happened to meet the sweet-spoken Katsuki Seiji and was immediately speechless.

Chief of Staff Tanaka Takayoshi asked solemnly, "Who sent the telegram?"

"Report to the Chief of Staff." The communications officer handed the telegram to Tanaka Takayoshi. "This is a clear text message from Li Yunlong of the Eighth Route Army."

After Tanaka Takayoshi received the telegram, the communications staff officer suddenly nodded, turned around, and walked away quickly.

After reading the telegram, Tanaka Takayoshi was furious. "This Li Yunlong is really damnable. He actually said that the commander was the transport captain of the Eighth Route Army and gave the Eighth Route Army a trainload of military equipment for producing light machine guns."

"idiot!"

When Katsuki Seiji heard the content of the telegram, he became even more furious. He drew out his lieutenant general's sword and smashed a blue and white porcelain vase into pieces.

The Eighth Route Army is going too far!
