Anti-Japanese War: I have unlimited assistance

Chapter 253 I, Li Yunlong, can’t lift my sword anymore, or are the Japanese getting too arrogant?

"But the Zhengtai Railway is a single line, so we can only rob one military train at most."

Thinking of this, Li Yunlong frowned slightly.

It is a single line, which means that the trains cannot run at the same time, and each station needs to conduct scheduling and determine the military train timetable in advance.

According to the intelligence sent by Lin Feng, the military train transporting combat supplies will pass through the Zhengtai Railway in three days.

On the fourth day, the Japanese military train transporting equipment and raw materials passed through the Zhengtai Railway at night four days later.

It’s not that the Japanese don’t want to run military trains along the Pingsui Road.

In fact, it was the section from Zhangjiakou to Datong that was often harassed and robbed by the Eighth Route Army Independent Division and guerrillas, also known as the Railway Guerrillas.

The section of Pinghan Road from Beiping to Shimen City is relatively safe.

As long as the military train was not robbed on the Zhengtai Railway, it could safely reach Peking or Taiyuan.

Recently, Yoshio Shinozuka has increased the military strength of the Shotai Railway and has made every effort to blockade the Jinzhong base. The security of the Shotai Railway has greatly improved.

The Taiyuan Arsenal can produce 75mm mortars, 82mm mortars, 82mm mortars and 150mm heavy mortars.

The performance of these guns is not advanced and cannot compare with the mortars produced by Boss Lin, but they are very good for the Eighth Route Army.

Moreover, the gun steel in the raw materials can be used on Boss Lin’s production line to produce 82mm mortars with more advanced performance.

However, even Li Yunlong was envious of the 1000 tons of combat supplies, as they were something that could be used right away.

There is still a lot of work to be done before the production line is put into operation.

"First, report this situation to the brigade headquarters and see what the brigade commander and his men plan."

"Do you want 1000 tons of combat supplies, or 1000 tons of Jin-made mortar production lines and raw materials?"

"If it were me, I would definitely take them all..."

Li Yunlong personally drafted a telegram and called Xiao Zhang to ask him to send it to the brigade headquarters and copy it to the headquarters.

Taking the telegram from Li Yunlong, Xiao Zhang said in surprise: "Captain, your handwriting is quite good. Your writing has improved a lot. I used to have to guess, but now I don't have to guess."

"Nonsense," Li Yunlong cursed with a smile. "I used to write in cursive script. Even Staff Officer Zhao said I was a master of calligraphy. You know nothing."

Xiao Zhang smiled and walked quickly towards the telegraph room, and the ticking sound of the telegraph began to sound.

After Xiao Zhang sent the telegram, Li Yunlong asked Xiao Zhang to send a telegram to Ding Wei and Kong Jie respectively, asking them to come to Xujia Village for a meeting.

Since the food arrived at the base, the base has developed rapidly.

The troops and militia actively trained, and the people actively helped the Eighth Route Army build airports and various defensive fortifications, and actively developed agriculture, animal husbandry and the economy, truly achieving unity between the military and the people and working together.

The night school founded by Zhao Gang has been upgraded to a military academy, named Jinzhong Military Region Field School.

The camp schools directly serve the revolutionary struggle, integrate theory with practice, and learn about war in war.

The teachers of the field school are all cadres with practical combat experience and considerable military theory and technical level, who serve as the main backbone of the school.

Under the leadership and guidance of Zhao Gang, the instructors worked diligently and imparted all their skills to the students without reservation.

They lived a simple and frugal life, maintained close unity, and worked actively, making the camp school very successful.

The first batch of students are about to graduate, and all students will return to their original units to work.

In order to train a large number of cadres and adapt to the needs of the situation, it was decided to continue the second phase.

Xing Zhiguo and the staff officers were also busy. Xing Zhiguo was mainly responsible for the construction of the airport and various defensive fortifications.

The intelligence staff was responsible for establishing an intelligence network, collecting and analyzing intelligence. Thanks to the work of the intelligence staff, the military and civilians in the base area united as one and uncovered a group of Japanese and puppet army spies who had infiltrated the base area.

In addition, the base has built a large number of fortifications to counter the blockade, and currently no information about the base has been leaked.

The training staff is responsible for the training of the troops. With reasonable and scientific training, coupled with sufficient food and oil, the soldiers who were skinny when they first joined the main force have now become much stronger, and the old soldiers have become more rosy-faced, heroic and resolute.

Logistics staff officer Wang Shoujin had an even greater workload. He had to coordinate the distribution of combat supplies such as food, weapons, ammunition, etc. throughout the base.

The situation in the base has stabilized and is developing in a positive direction.

Many simple-minded villagers wanted to introduce a partner to Li Yunlong, and many people wanted to marry their daughters to Li Yunlong, including some beautiful ones.

Their idea is very simple. How can a man as outstanding as Li Yunlong not have a woman who understands him?
But Li Yunlong politely declined them all, not because he was still a virgin.

In the words of Li Yunlong: The revolution has not yet succeeded, so how can we have a home?
While thinking, Li Yunlong stared at the map and began to think about the next combat plan and base development.

As the person in charge of the entire base, Captain Li has to consider the interests of the military and civilians of the entire base.

"The enemy's mopping-up force this time wasn't as large as last time. Last time it was the entire 20th Division, this time it was the 39th Brigade and the 3rd Mixed Brigade."

"With the current strength of our Jinzhong base, we can't defeat the 39th Brigade, but what is the 3rd Mixed Brigade?"

"I, Li Yunlong, can't lift my sword anymore, or are the Japanese getting too arrogant?"

"A mixed brigade dares to come and sweep our Jinzhong base..."

Li Yunlong had to admit that the 1st Independent Brigade was very powerful, as it was a mechanized independent mixed brigade. However, even the 1st Independent Mixed Brigade had suffered heavy losses at the hands of Li Yunlong.

The 3rd Independent Mixed Brigade was formed in Peiping in February 1938. It consists of the 2th, 6th, 7th, 8th and 9th Independent Infantry Battalions, as well as an independent artillery unit, an independent engineering unit and a communications unit, with a total strength of about 10 people. Not long ago, it came to the 6000st Army with Yoshio Shinozuka and was stationed in the area of ​​​​Ling County to perform security tasks.

The 39th Brigade of the Japanese Army defending the Zhengtai Railway had two infantry regiments, an independent artillery battalion, an independent armored battalion, engineers, supply troops, a field hospital, a cavalry squadron and other Japanese troops, with a total strength of nearly 1 people.

Moreover, the quality of the officers and soldiers of the 39th Brigade is much higher than that of the officers and soldiers of the Independent 3rd Mixed Brigade.

If the 2 troops currently in the Jinzhong Military Region were all well-trained officers and soldiers with rich combat experience, then there would definitely be a chance to severely damage the 39th Brigade.

Currently, more than half of the soldiers in the Jinzhong Military Region are new recruits who have just joined the army for three months.

After the new recruits had undergone training, there was no problem in sending these recruits to the battlefield to fight against the Japanese from the 39th Brigade.

But the casualties among the new recruits would certainly be huge, which was not in line with Li Yunlong's tactic of taking advantage without suffering any loss.

"First, we'll train with the 3rd Independent Mixed Brigade, which has a slightly weaker combat capability."

"After severely damaging or destroying the 3rd Independent Mixed Brigade, we will turn around and focus on dealing with the 39th Brigade."

"Then we will break the Japanese blockade and develop the area south of Zhengtai Road into the Jinzhong base."

"In this way, the Zhengtai Railway in Jin Province will be my territory."

"The Japanese want to use the Zhengtai Railway in the future?"

"Then we need to ask our Lao Li if he agrees..."

"..."

That evening, the brigade headquarters sent a reply telegram to Li Yunlong.

As Li Yunlong expected, the brigade commander first wanted to rob the Japanese military train transporting combat supplies, and asked Li Yunlong whether he could apply to Boss Lin for large helicopter transportation support.

1000 tons of combat supplies would make even Yan Laoxi and Wei Lihuang jealous.

At present, the expanded forces of the main force of the Eighth Route Army in the Taihang Military Region of the Southeastern Shanxi Base Area are at least several orders of magnitude larger than those in the Central Shanxi Base Area.

Even if the Huangyadong Arsenal were to go into production, it would still not be able to meet the huge ammunition needs of the main force of the Eighth Route Army.

Although the National Government’s Ministry of Military Affairs has not yet stopped paying the Eighth Route Army’s salaries, ammunition, bedding and other supplies.

But that is the treatment only available to troops with an organization and numbers.

The Eighth Route Army Headquarters had to provide weapons, ammunition and clothing for these newly expanded troops.

If we can successfully rob the Japanese military train, it will be a timely help and solve the urgent needs of the troops.

Use Boss Lin's large helicopter to transport the looted military trains and railroad tracks.

There would be no need to send troops to fight reinforcements, and there would be no need to sacrifice the lives of hundreds or thousands of soldiers to protect the looted combat supplies.

And every time you apply for large helicopter transportation, you only need to kill 200 Japanese soldiers from the Type A Division or 400 Japanese soldiers from the ordinary troops.

Very cost-effective.

Li Yunlong has one chance in hand, and he can also apply for credit once.

So he immediately asked Xiao Zhang to give the brigade commander a positive reply. Time was tight and the task was urgent. The brigade needed to formulate a combat plan as soon as possible.

After sending the telegram, Li Yunlong asked Xiao Zhang to send another telegram to Lin Feng, inviting him to Xujia Village to discuss a big business deal.

in the afternoon.

Lin Feng arrived as promised with a strong bodyguard.

Li Yunlong knew that Lin Feng had built a secret military base in the Jinzhong base, which could reach Xujia Village in a few hours.

However, Lin Feng didn't say where it was, and Li Yunlong tactfully didn't ask.

Li Yunlong was thinking about how to kill the Japanese, develop bases, and study large-scale military tactics while eating and sleeping... He was not interested in any of that, as long as Boss Lin could deliver the goods on time.

When Lin Feng walked into the regiment headquarters under Hu Zi's guidance, he saw that the table in the outer room of the regiment headquarters was already filled with delicious food and wine, and Li Yunlong was pouring wine.

Seeing Lin Feng coming in, Li Yunlong's eyes lit up: "Brother Lin, you're here? Please take a seat."

Lin Feng's eyes lit up: "Roast chicken?"

Li Yunlong smiled and said, "Yes, this is the roast chicken I specially sent someone to catch from the farm. Try it."

Lin Feng pulled off a chicken leg and stuffed it into his mouth: "Brother Yunlong, it tastes good, you should try it too."

The two of them sat down and began to clink glasses and eat meat and drink wine with big mouthfuls.

"Brother Yunlong, you said in the telegram that there was a big deal?"

Li Yunlong nodded. "Yes, this is definitely a big deal. Our Jinzhong base is now very wealthy. If we don't open it soon, our Jinzhong base will be in dire straits. Is the mixed brigade business interesting to you, Brother Lin? How much can you offer?"
