Anti-Japanese War: I have unlimited assistance

Chapter 317: Let’s do something big!
"Operation Plan A?"

At the regimental headquarters, after seeing off Boss Lin's men, Li Yunlong opened the Japanese's battle plan and began to read it.

This is a translated version of the Japanese First Army Headquarters' battle plan.

With Li Yunlong's current level of education, he has no problem reading such intelligence information on his own.

"The Japs are still a bit skilled, but not much."

After reading the battle plan, Li Yunlong sneered slightly.

The battle analysis produced by the devil is quite good, and basically describes the current enemy and our situation.

But it was obvious that the Japanese did not know enough about the Eighth Route Army, and there was a big problem with intelligence.

The Japanese were still unclear about many aspects of the Eighth Route Army's equipment and troop strength.

In fact, the last time the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army attacked the 20th Division on Zhengtai Road, it only dispatched a part of its troops and equipment.

This war analysis report pointed out that in the future in the entire North China, the Japanese army's biggest enemy would be the Eighth Route Army.

This time, concentrating three divisions to deal with the Eighth Route Army in Jinzhong not only failed to completely destroy them, but also caused at least 10,000 Japanese casualties.

In order to reduce casualties among Japanese soldiers, the person who formulated this combat plan suggested beheading the Eighth Route Army headquarters.

Seeing this, Li Yunlong showed a sneer again.

"To capture a thief, first capture the leader. Decapitation is a tactic favored by all commanders from ancient times to the present."

"Killing or capturing the enemy commander essentially declares victory for our side."

"but."

"The Japanese don't understand the Eighth Route Army at all. They don't even know what kind of people lead it."

"If the Japanese think they can achieve complete victory by simply decapitating the Eighth Route Army headquarters, they are gravely mistaken."

The 771st Regiment was ambushed and dispersed by the 20th Division. If it had been replaced by another unit, it would have collapsed immediately.

However, the soldiers of the 771st Regiment quickly and spontaneously formed new combat groups into squads, platoons, and companies, targeting small groups of Japanese troops, fighting and moving at the same time, effectively reducing losses, eliminating many Japanese troops, and seizing a large amount of spoils.

If the Japanese really beheaded the Eighth Route Army headquarters, it would not defeat the Eighth Route Army, but would instead arouse the anger of the Eighth Route Army soldiers.

After reading the battle analysis, Li Yunlong continued to look through the Japanese's battle plan.

Immediately, his eyes narrowed slightly!
The Japanese planned to mobilize three divisions, pretending to attack the Jinzhong base, but actually attacking southeastern Shanxi.

But these three divisions were still a feint attack. The real plan of the Japanese was to dispatch three divisions to attract the main force of the Eighth Route Army, cover the Yamamoto Special Forces, pretend to be the Eighth Route Army to infiltrate the Liao County area in southeastern Shanxi, use high-power radio signals to determine the location of the Eighth Route Army headquarters, launch a sudden attack, and carry out a decapitation operation against the Eighth Route Army headquarters.

In addition to the operational plan, there is also a comprehensive emergency plan.

At the end of the battle plan, there is a line of small words: The person who formulated this plan is Colonel Yamamoto Ikki.

"Yamamoto Ikki, it's this kid again."

Li Yunlong narrowed his eyes, his eyes full of coldness.

He immediately looked at the Operation Plan No. A in his hand. This operation plan was extremely important to the Eighth Route Army.

Although this battle plan is worth the lives of 500 devils.

But if it weren't for the battle plan provided by Boss Lin, the Japanese decapitation operation might have succeeded.

The 20th Division, the 108th Division and the 109th Division are all -system divisions, and their troop strength is not comparable to that of the second-line divisions.

Moreover, these three divisions all have rich combat experience, and it is impossible for the 129th Division to challenge the three divisions alone.

Yamamoto was such a cunning guy. He let three main divisions deal with the 129th Division, while he secretly disguised himself as an Eighth Route Army soldier and infiltrated into southeastern Shanxi.

Li Yunlong was well aware that he had a special forces unit under his command.

If Yamamoto's special forces disguised themselves as the Eighth Route Army and infiltrated southeastern Shanxi, the main force of southeastern Shanxi would find it difficult to defend against them.

Similarly, the Blade Commandos disguised themselves as Japanese soldiers and infiltrated Taiyuan, making it difficult for the Japanese to defend against them.

With this battle plan in hand, Li Yunlong would not let the Japanese succeed. He would make them pay with blood!
"Xiao Yang, please copy this battle plan." Li Yunlong called the combat staff officer Yang Ziyun, and at the same time he was thinking about how to cooperate with the headquarters and the main force of the division to put on a good show.

This time the Japanese were more fully prepared and had a strong plan. Not only did they want to replenish the lost troops of the 108th Division, they also planned to transfer the 21st Division to help the First Army defend Taiyuan.

Are the Japanese also afraid of having their homes robbed?

"With the strength of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army and the Eighth Route Army in Central Shanxi, it shouldn't be difficult to recapture Taiyuan. It's a pity that Yan Laoxi can't be trusted."

"It would be pointless to destroy roads and railways if we have such a good opportunity."

"Many main forces and guerrillas are making money guarding the enemy's transportation lines."

"It's not a good idea to keep paralyzing the Japanese railways and roads."

"Taiyuan cannot be taken again. It's no use besieging Wei to save Zhao. The three main divisions of the Japanese are just feinting."

Li Yunlong stared at the map and thought, frowning slightly, intending to take this opportunity to make a big profit.

But he discovered that the Japanese had taken every possible measure into consideration and were well prepared, so this mission wasn't going to be easy. More than half an hour later, Yang Ziyun copied out a copy of Operation Plan A.

Li Yunlong instructed, "Xiao Yang, keep this battle plan to yourself and don't mention it to anyone."

It’s not that Li Yunlong doesn’t trust Yang Ziyun, it’s a matter of discipline.

Yang Ziyun's expression turned serious. "Yes! Please rest assured, Captain. I promise to keep this a secret and not mention it to anyone."

Li Yunlong: "Very good, go call and ask the leader of the Blade Commando, Monk Wei, to come to the regiment headquarters."

"Yes!"

Yang Ziyun straightened his body, walked quickly to the phone, picked up the phone and called the Blade Commando.

Ten minutes later, Wei Dayong, with a resolute expression, walked in with the gait of a dragon or a tiger, raised his hand and saluted: "Captain, are you looking for me?"

With sufficient energy and scientific training, Wei Dayong's physique has become stronger and stronger, and his every move is full of vigor.

Li Yunlong's gaze shifted from the battle map to Wei Dayong. "Monk, how's the Blade Commando doing lately?"

The group of national army soldiers he rescued from the Dai County prisoner-of-war camp performed very well after joining the New 1st Regiment. Some soldiers died on the battlefield, and those who survived became the backbone and elite of the New 1st Regiment.

Wei Daxun was the battalion commander of the machine gun battalion, and now Wei Dayong is the captain of the Blade Commando, both of whom are at the battalion commander level.

Wei Dayong just turned 18 this year, and Wei Heshang's name has become famous throughout the New st Regiment. He and his team are the strongest weapons in Li Yunlong's hands.

"We have expanded our team by 20 new recruits. Our Blade Commando Team now has 80 members. When will we behead Yoshio Shinozuka?" Wei Dayong clenched his fists, eager to try.

Li Yunlong asked, "How confident are you that you can behead Shinozuka Yoshio?"

Wei Dayong stared, "I can't say more, but I'm still 50% sure!"

"Bullshit!" Li Yunlong snorted coldly, "I don't think you have any confidence at all. Before you even get close to Shinozuka Yoshio, you and your team members were shot. You've won a few battles, and you don't even know your own name anymore?"

"hey-hey…"

After being scolded by the team leader, the monk felt refreshed.

"Here is a piece of intelligence information that needs to be delivered immediately to the Liao County headquarters in southeastern Shanxi. Time is short and the task is heavy. It needs to be delivered within two days. This intelligence information is very important to our headquarters and must not fall into the hands of the enemy. Do you understand?"

Li Yunlong put the handwritten letter and the copied intelligence information into a file bag and handed it to Wei Dayong.

The entire intelligence document contains several thousand words, and such a large number of words obviously cannot be conveyed by radio.

Although the code book provided by Boss Lin was highly confidential, the Japanese monitoring radio station was still able to detect the radio signal.

The radio signals were too frequent, which easily aroused the vigilance of the Japanese.

Therefore, it would be safest to send someone to deliver this battle plan to the headquarters.

"Don't worry, Captain."

Wei Dayong took the file bag from Li Yunlong and said in a serious and decisive tone:
"I will lead a combat team and go there in person!"

"Go ahead," Li Yunlong said. "Be careful on the road and return to the regiment headquarters as soon as possible. We still have combat missions to do."

"Yes!"

Wei Dayong's eyes were slightly burning. He saluted and turned to walk out.

After Wei Dayong left, Li Yunlong immediately stared at the map and started thinking, frowning slightly. He still felt that this job was not easy.

Although he was not thinking of a large-scale battle of 800,000 versus 600,000 troops.

But Li Yunlong was not very interested in small-scale battles involving only three to five thousand people.

We can take advantage of the 20th Division's southward advance to attack the Zhengtai Road to recapture Yangquan and Shouyang.

We can earn some food, but it is not very meaningful. When the main force of the Japanese army comes back, Yangquan and Shouyang will still have to be abandoned.

Attack Taiyuan?

Li Yunlong currently has a division of troops under his command. He dares to fight, but with the current strength of a division, he cannot capture Taiyuan.

Even if the Japanese engaged in street fighting, they could still consume an entire division in the Jinzhong base.

Go north to Datong to engage the Mongolian garrison?
The journey was too long. Not only did they have to march hundreds of kilometers quickly, but the logistical supplies could not keep up.

Suddenly, a bold idea popped up in Li Yunlong's mind.

The 129th Division could not defeat a single Japanese division, and the Jinzhong Military Region could not defeat a single Japanese division either.

But even if the Jinzhong Military Region and the 129th Division were combined, they still couldn't defeat a Japanese division?
Even if we can't destroy a Japanese division due to reinforcements from other Japanese troops and unexpected situations, it should be no problem to severely damage a Japanese division, right?
He knew the entire battle plan of the Japanese devils and also knew the feint attack routes of the three Japanese devil divisions.

The main forces of the 129th Division and the Jinzhong Military Region ambushed one of the Japanese divisions on its marching route.

Then suddenly launch an attack. With the current manpower and firepower, can't we severely damage a Japanese division?
Thinking of this, Captain Li's eyes were burning and he was full of energy.

Three Japanese divisions attacked southeastern Shanxi from three directions. Although they did not penetrate deep into the heart of the Eighth Route Army's base in southeastern Shanxi, they still had to engage in a firefight with the Eighth Route Army to make a noise. Since it was a feint attack to attract the main force of the 129th Division, the bigger the noise made by the three Japanese divisions, the better.

Which division should be chosen as the ambush target?
