Anti-Japanese War: I have unlimited assistance

Chapter 236 There is something good to watch.

This time, three regiments of the Jinzhong Military Region suffered heavy losses in the bombing.

The Japanese were not having an easy time either, with three planes shot down and two others damaged.

but!

Li Yunlong couldn't swallow this.

Those damn Japanese planes are such a bully.

Fortunately, the Jinzhong Military Region was equipped with dozens of 20mm machine guns and hundreds of light and heavy machine guns and submachine guns.

Otherwise, you will just be bombed without any ability to fight back.

After all, attacking from high altitude against low altitude will definitely give you the advantage, because nine out of ten air defenses will fail.

In just a few minutes of air defense, the three regiments' anti-aircraft firepower fired at least more than 100,000 bullets and machine gun shells.

Ordinary troops are simply unable to fight an air defense battle.

"Old Li, are you planning to shoot down the Japanese plane?"

As a brother from the same class, as soon as Li Yunlong raised his butt, Ding Wei knew what he was going to do.

Kong Jie also thought of this, his eyes flashed, but he did not say anything to disturb Li Yunlong.

To be honest, Kong Jie had not thought of a way to shoot down the Japanese planes, but Li Yunlong was a man of many clever ideas, so maybe he had thought of one?

Li Yunlong thought for a moment and nodded: "Take the wounded and continue to retreat south. We will discuss it on the way."

The Japanese troops are definitely heading here, and the main force has not yet escaped the encirclement, so they must retreat as soon as possible.

Afterwards, Li Yunlong, Ding Wei and Kong Jie led the soldiers to continue their rapid retreat southward along the highway.

Li Yunlong walked quickly while looking at the map. Ding Wei and Kong Jie followed closely on his left and right, like his left and right arms.

After looking at the map for a while, Li Yunlong said.

"According to the information provided by Boss Lin, the Japanese 40th Brigade was originally stationed in Taiyuan."

"This time, the 40th Brigade will leave Taiyuan to sweep our base area from the Beitongpu Railway and the northern region."

"Taiyuan must be empty and lacking in defensive forces. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for us to make a fortune."

Li Yunlong was like a gambler, with a desire to get rich in his eyes. He looked at Ding Wei and Kong Jie.

"Old Li." Kong Jie was suddenly startled. "You want to attack Taiyuan?"

If Li Yunlong were given a division, this guy would dare to attack Taiyuan.

But now Li Yunlong only has a brigade under his command, and his military strength is even less than that of a division.

But Kong Jie knew that this kid really dared to do it!
"That's a brilliant move."

"But with our current strength, we definitely can't take Taiyuan. The best we can do is let the Japanese puppet troops that are mopping up come back to reinforce Taiyuan."

Ding Wei was also walking quickly while analyzing.

Deputy Captain Xing and Zhao Gang were listening to Li Yunlong and the others' conversation, and they couldn't help but feel their eyes twitching wildly.

Besiege Wei to rescue Zhao.

Zhao Gang thought of this word.

The Jinzhong Military Region has a small population, but the land is fertile and the people have a good harvest.

The corn crops in the base area are growing well now, and this year will definitely be a good harvest. If the Japanese and puppet troops destroy all the crops.

Then the people in the Jinzhong base area will have nothing to lose this year. Zhao Gang guessed that Li Yunlong wanted to surround Taiyuan to save the crops in the base area.

"but…"

"We don't have a thorough battle plan, no friendly forces to cooperate with, and no experience in attacking large cities. What if we are surrounded by the Japanese?"

At the same time, Ding Wei also pointed out the shortcomings of this combat plan.

Li Yunlong looked at Ding Wei and Kong Jie unhappily. When it came to attacking Taiyuan, the two were even more excited than him.

Li Yunlong asked, "Who said I was going to attack Taiyuan?"

Kong Jie: "Then you stared at Taiyuan for a long time..."

On the way here, Ding Wei and Kong Jie already knew Li Yunlong's backup plan.

At this time, the brigade commander had led the 386th Brigade and was about to arrive in Yangquan. Once the main force of the Jinzhong Military Region was surrounded by the Japanese, the 386th Brigade would launch an attack on Yangquan and teach the Japanese a lesson on what the military strategy of "encircling Wei to save Zhao" meant.

Currently.

Judging from the reaction of the Japanese, all the attention of the Japanese on the Zhengtai Railway was on the Jinzhong Military Region, and the Japanese did not know that the 386th Brigade was approaching.

Li Yunlong said, "I'm looking at Taiyuan Airport. Who the hell is looking at Taiyuan?"

Everyone's eyes lit up slightly. If they could destroy Taiyuan Airport, they could avoid being bombed by Japanese planes.

The oppressive feeling that the Japanese planes gave to the troops was not comparable to that of the Japanese troops on the ground.

It's like a sword hanging over your head, and you never know when it will fall and chop off your head in an instant.

All beings are equal under aerial bombs.

"It's very difficult!" Ding Wei shook his head. "Even if the 40th Brigade is transferred, there are definitely many Japanese and puppet troops around Taiyuan, and the Taiyuan Airport is heavily guarded."

Li Yunlong narrowed his eyes and said, "It's difficult, but there are still opportunities. I, Old Li, will not do business that will lose money."

Kong Jie asked, "Lao Li, what are you going to do?"

He thought for a while, but still couldn't figure out how to destroy the Japanese Taiyuan Airport.

"The idea is not mature yet. Let's discuss it after we break out of the Japanese encirclement."

Li Yunlong put away the map and concentrated on his journey.

Ding Wei and Kong Jie also quickly returned to their respective marching units to check on the casualties of their troops after being bombed by the Japanese planes. After marching south for more than an hour, the vanguard of the New 1st Regiment was intercepted and blocked by another group of Japanese soldiers.

Li Yunlong immediately ordered his troops to launch a test attack. This time the Japanese's firepower was very fierce and the blocking battle was fought tenaciously.

……

Yangquan.

Headquarters of the 20th Division of the Japanese Army.

Ushijima Tsunemi, Hirata Kenkichi and others are anxiously waiting for news.

The communications staff walked in quickly and reported to Ushijima Tsunemi and Hirata Kenkichi.

"Report to the general!"

"Just now, the 77th Regiment Commander, Colonel Li Dengxing, sent a telegram saying that the 77th Regiment is already in the Bianjiazhuang area and has blocked the main force of the Eighth Route Army!"

"Li Dengxing has issued a military order to stop the main force of the Eighth Route Army at all costs. Please ask the division and brigade headquarters to send other troops to reinforce them as soon as possible!"

"Your Majesty the Heavenly Locust, embark! The Great Japanese Locust Army, embark!"

Upon hearing this, Kenkichi Hirata and Tsunemi Ushijima immediately looked at the military map on the table and found the location of Bianjiazhuang on the map.

After seeing the location of Bianjia Village, Kenkichi Hirata and Tsunemi Ushijima's faces changed.

The Eighth Route Army marched at such a fast speed that in just a few hours, the main force of the Eighth Route Army was less than 10 kilometers away from Shouyang County.

The battle has reached this point, and neither Ushijima Tsunemi nor Hirata Kenkichi dare to underestimate the enemy anymore.

Treat Li Yunlong as an opponent of the same level and use one hundred and twenty percent of your strength to deal with him.

The 77th Infantry Regiment's central attack force of more than 1000 locust soldiers and a regiment of locust support troops were completely defeated.

Under the bombing of the locust army's aircraft, Li Yunlong's main force was about to break out of the encirclement so quickly.

The Eighth Route Army's strong combat effectiveness and the commander Li Yunlong's cunning were far beyond the expectations of Ushijima Tsunemi and Hirata Kenkichi.

"How many troops does Colonel Li Deng have?"

Ushijima Tsunemi looked at Uchida Ginnosuke and asked.

Uchida Ginnosuke replied, "Your Excellency, Division Commander, Colonel Li Dengxing has a battalion of locust soldiers and two battalions of locust support troops, for a total strength of approximately 1600 men!"

The 77th Infantry Regiment and two puppet army regiments attacked the Jinzhong Military Region in three directions.

Li Dengxingyi led the regiment headquarters to be stationed in Shouyang County, intending to wait until the troops surrounded the Eighth Route Army in Mengxian County, and then drive to command the battle. However, he did not expect that the Eighth Route Army would fight southward along the Mengshou Highway. Li Dengxingyi had to lead the regiment headquarters to block the highway and prevent the Eighth Route Army from retreating south.

The Japanese and puppet troops on the Zhonglu Highway were basically wiped out by the Eighth Route Army.

However, the third wave of Japanese and puppet troops on the left and right have already arrived to join the regiment headquarters, and four more waves of Japanese are on the way.

In addition, the 78th Infantry Regiment is rushing here from Yangquan.

"Your Excellency, Division Commander," Hirata Kenkichi said, "the 1600-man Locust Army and Locust Support Army should be able to stop the Eighth Route Army."

Ushijima Tsunemi said, "To be on the safe side, request another request from the headquarters for air reinforcements from the aviation unit. Order the 26th Field Artillery Regiment to reinforce the 77th Infantry Regiment immediately."

The news that three Japanese planes were shot down has reached the 3th Division Headquarters.

Ushijima Tsunemi, Hirata Kenkichi and others were also shocked by the strength of the Eighth Route Army's anti-aircraft firepower, which made them more determined to destroy the Eighth Route Army.

If this force grows to tens of thousands of people, its combat effectiveness will probably not be inferior to that of the Japanese Type A division.

Currently, the 26th Field Artillery Regiment is stationed in Yangquan and is the trump card in the hands of Ushijima Tsunemi.

"Hi."

The communications officer turned around and hurried to deliver the message.

Ushijima Tsunemi asked in a deep voice, "How long will it take for the rest of the 77th Infantry Regiment to reach Bianjiazhuang?"

Uchida Ginnosuke replied, "The 3th Company of the 8rd Infantry Battalion, which is closest to Bianjia Village, will arrive in about an hour to reinforce the 77th Regiment!"

"Yoshi!" Ushijima Tsunemi nodded, "Order all troops to rush to Bianjiazhuang as quickly as possible!"

As long as the reinforcements, the 78th Infantry Regiment and the 26th Field Artillery Regiment arrive, the main force of the Eighth Route Army will be doomed.

Hirata Kenkichi said, "The 77th Infantry Regiment can definitely hold off the Eighth Route Army's attack for an hour."

"It seems that this mopping-up operation is about to end on the first day."

"Your Excellency, Division Commander, please allow me to go to Bianjiazhuang to command the battle and destroy the main force of the Eighth Route Army."

"Alright." Ushijima Tsunemi nodded, "Then I'll leave it to Hirata-kun!"

……

Bianjiazhuang.

The Japs had already repelled an attack by the Eighth Route Army. This time, the enemy had a large number of blocking troops and their firepower was very strong.

Seeing the soldiers' attacks being repelled and the troops retreating, Li Yunlong shouted loudly: "Stop the attack!"

"Set up the infantry guns, mountain guns, mortars, and my heavy mortars."

"I want to see who's tougher, the devil's puppet army or my gun."

"Deploy all machine guns around the area and be ready for air defense at any time!"

After giving orders to the artillery, Li Yunlong called Ding Wei and Kong Jie.

"Lao Kong, Lao Ding, gather all the snipers from your two regiments and put them under Zhao Gang's command!"

"Also, set up all the artillery from both of your regiments. Don't save the shells. Bomb him!"

Ding Wei and Kong Jie sneered and quickly went to convey the order.

Now there's some fun to watch...
