Anti-Japanese War: I have unlimited assistance

Chapter 320 Super large ambush!

"Li Yunlong, I order you to devour the damned 108th Division..."

Two days later.

On the way back to the Jinzhong base, Li Yunlong recalled the instructions given by the headquarters chief at the combat meeting, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

He first went to the brigade headquarters with his own battle plan and the Japanese's Battle Plan No. 1.

Then the brigade commander took him to the headquarters to report the matter to the division commander and the general.

As expected, a huge uproar broke out in the Eighth Route Army headquarters, and all the leaders and staff officers were frightened and broke out in cold sweats!
According to this Operation Plan No. 1, the Japanese army was actually going to attack the Jinzhong base, and a special forces unit disguised as the Eighth Route Army was going to decapitate the Eighth Route Army headquarters, but the Eighth Route Army headquarters knew nothing about it.

If Li Yunlong had not brought this battle plan, the headquarters and the 129th Division might have suffered a devastating attack from the enemy.

This time, the Japanese army dispatched one Type A division and two special divisions, of which the Type A division had nearly 3 people and the two special divisions had more than 2 people. There were more than 7 Japanese troops dispatched alone, and with the puppet troops, there were probably 10 people.

Although the 129th Division is now strong in men and horses, it will inevitably be unable to withstand the 10-strong Japanese and puppet troops.

then.

Li Yunlong reported to the head of the headquarters his battle plan to ambush the 108th Division.

The main force of the Jinzhong Military Region alone is not enough, and the 129th Division must send out nearly 3 main forces to fight this battle safely.

And if Li Yunlong is in command, after the battle is won, the weapons and ammunition consumed by the troops will be reimbursed by Boss Lin.

The boss got angry on the spot and wanted to teach the Japanese a painful lesson!
However, launching such a large-scale campaign and mobilizing so many troops requires asking for permission from the top leaders.

Soon the commander-in-chief sent a reply, agreeing to let Li Yunlong take command, handing over the main force of the 386th Brigade to Comrade Li Yunlong's command, and raising Comrade Li Yunlong's salary to brigade level.

At the same time, the commander-in-chief also instructed that winning a major victory every few months, such as Xiyan and Xinzhou, would greatly demoralize the enemy and boost the morale of our army.

Then, headquarters held a combat meeting.

The bosses and division commanders were much better than Li Yunlong in terms of troop deployment and tactical command.

After two days of combat meetings, Li Yunlong benefited a lot.

With the assistance of the headquarters leaders and staff, a complete large-scale ambush plan was developed, which included not only the combat plan but also an emergency plan.

In this battle, the deputy commander-in-chief will serve as Li Yunlong's temporary chief of staff. At that time, he will lead the main force of the 386th Brigade to the Baijin Highway to meet up with Li Yunlong's troops.

The brigade commander commanded the special forces, including the New 1st Brigade and the Tiger Commando Team, to protect the safety of the headquarters and was responsible for eliminating the incoming Yamamoto special forces.

385旅、决死第1、第3纵队、新2旅、新10旅等主力部队负责打阻击。

At present, the organization of the 129th Division has reached the newly formed 10th Brigade. Some newly formed brigades have 2 regiments under their jurisdiction, and some newly formed brigades have 3 regiments under their jurisdiction.

Although the combat effectiveness of these newly formed brigades is not as good as that of the two old brigades, 385 and 386, they are fully determined to fight against the Japanese invaders and defend the country.

With the support of the head of headquarters and the senior leaders, Li Yunlong became more motivated.

……

Under the protection of the Sharp Blade Commando, Li Yunlong quickly returned to the Jinzhong base.

"Captain, you're back. What did the headquarters say?" Xing Zhiguo was delighted to see Li Yunlong coming back, and asked immediately.

"Headquarters has agreed to ambush the 108th Division on the Baijin Highway. This is the battle plan." Li Yunlong took out the battle plan from the folder and handed it to Xing Zhiguo.

"Great." Xing Zhiguo looked delighted and quickly read the complete battle plan.

"Why am I the one leading the team to defend the house again?"

After reading the battle plan, Xing Zhiguo felt a little depressed. He also wanted to lead his troops to the battlefield to kill the Japanese.

"I don't trust anyone else with our vast Jinzhong base." Li Yunlong patted Xing Zhiguo on the shoulder and said, "Your task is equally arduous. We're fighting the Japanese on the Baijin Highway. If they launch a surprise attack on the Jinzhong base, using the tactic of besieging Wei to save Zhao, we'll be in trouble. Furthermore, after this battle, we'll need you to lead the troops to escort our main force back to the Jinzhong base."

Xing Zhiguo is a defensive player and is very good at defense, while Li Yunlong is better at offense.

Last time, the main force of Jinzhong was able to destroy the Japanese Army's 3rd Independent Mixed Brigade in Xiyan Town.

It is inseparable from the fact that Xing Zhiguo led four infantry battalions to block the attack of the 4th Brigade in the Mengxian area.

"Yes."

Xing Zhiguo nodded. If the Japanese attacked from behind to save Zhao, they could also be killed in the base.

Now, under the management of Xing Zhiguo, the defense of the Jinzhong base has become more complete. With tunnels, slope tactics and reinforced concrete fortifications, the various defense lines of the Jinzhong base are comparable to fortresses.

After actual combat and experience summary, the soldiers have become more proficient in the use of tunnel and reverse slope tactics.

then.

After a short rest, Li Yunlong drafted a telegram, asking Ding Wei and Kong Jie to immediately go to the New 1st Regiment to hold a combat meeting.

Kong Jie and Ding Wei were like sharks smelling blood. They took a large truck to the new regiment headquarters in Mengxian County that day.

Now the bases between the three regiments are open to traffic. What used to take a day can now be reached in a few hours by car, which is faster and more comfortable than riding a horse.

"Old Li, what's the battle plan? Are we going to attack Taiyuan?"

Hearing Li Yunlong's laughter, Uncle Kong rushed into the New 1st Regiment Headquarters in a hurry, his tone impatient.

After the last battle in Xinzhou ended, Kong Jie and Ding Wei both made a fortune and each expanded their forces by a basic regiment and half a heavy artillery regiment.

Li Yunlong received the weapons and equipment of two heavy artillery regiments, but he did not have that many artillerymen.

then.

Li Yunlong took out a heavy artillery regiment and divided it into two, giving it to the New Third Regiment and the Independent Regiment.

Ding Wei and Kong Jie were now very wealthy, and with good weapons and equipment in their hands, they were always looking to kill the Japanese and earn more equipment.

Uncle Ding, who arrived earlier, said with disdain:
"Old Li is preparing to attack Tokyo."

Ding Wei had already asked this question, but Li Yunlong planned to wait until Kong Jie arrived before discussing it.

"Old Ding, you're talking nonsense."

Kong Jie sat down on the bench, took out his pipe and started smoking.

Li Yunlong crossed his legs and said, "Everyone is here. I have two announcements. The first is that a week ago, Boss Lin officially became the military advisor to our Jinzhong base."

Upon hearing this, Ding Wei and Kong Jie's eyes lit up at the same time.

"Old Li," Kong Jie asked, puffing on his pipe, "will we benefit from having Boss Lin as our military advisor?"

Ding Wei also looked at Li Yunlong with anticipation.

Li Yunlong's expression was full of strategy. "Of course there are benefits. Boss Lin will increase his business in weapons, ammunition, intelligence, logistics, and other areas. I got this battle plan from Boss Lin in exchange for 500 Japanese heads."

Li Yunlong threw the Japanese's "Operation Plan No. 1" to Ding Wei and Kong Jie, and Ding Wei and Kong Jie gathered together to read it.

After reading the battle plan, Ding Wei cursed, "Damn it, are these little Japanese playing dirty tricks?"

Kong Jie gave his approval: "Lao Li, this deal you made is damn worth it!"

Kong Jie was talking about the deal of exchanging 500 heads for this battle plan.

This battle plan is worth more than a fortune, but Boss Lin exchanged it for 500 Japanese heads.

"Of course."

Li Yunlong raised his lips and said, "When has Old Li ever done anything that made a loss?"

Ding Wei asked, "Old Li, aren't you planning to just take out Yamamoto's special forces this time?"

"The one who understands me best is Old Ding."

Li Yunlong nodded, his tone carrying a hint of murderous intent:
"This time, I plan to wipe out the Japanese 108th Division. You two should take a look at this battle plan first."

Ding Wei and Kong Jie finished reading the battle plan in shock and anticipation.

"Old Li, did you make this battle plan?" Ding Wei looked at Li Yunlong with surprise in his eyes.

Kong Jie, standing by, was also impressed by Li Yunlong. This battle plan was of high quality. How high was it? It must be at least as high as a thirty or forty-story building.

"It was Old Li who came up with the idea to ambush the Japanese 108th Division on the Baijin Highway," Xing Zhiguo said. "Old Li and I made the initial battle plan, which was refined with the help of the head of the headquarters and the staff."

"You're damn good at seizing opportunities."

Kong Jie sighed, even he might not have thought of ambush the 108th Division:

"Ambushing an entire Japanese division is unprecedented."

"Even in the Guangyang ambush we fought with the 115th Division at the end of last year, we spared the main force of the 20th Division and focused on the Japanese supply train."

The thought of ambushing a special division of more than 20,000 Japanese troops made Kong Jie's scalp tingle.

But this kid Li Yunlong is really brave!
"The bold will die of overeating, the timid will die of starvation." Li Yunlong chuckled, "You wouldn't expect this, and neither would Shinozuka Yoshio and Yamamoto Ikki. In military strategy, this is called taking the enemy by surprise and attacking them when they are unprepared."

Ding Wei's hands, holding the battle plan, trembled slightly with excitement. He asked, "This is a large-scale ambush. Who is the commander-in-chief of the front line?"

The main combat forces were clearly identified in the combat plan, primarily the Jinzhong Brigade and the 386th Brigade, but the name of the front-line commander was not written.

Li Yunlong smiled complacently: "Guess what?"

"Boss?"

Li Yunlong shook his head.

"Our division commander?"

"No."

"Our brigade commander?"

"Guess again."

"Deputy Chief of General Staff?"

"continue."

Seeing the smug smile on Li Yunlong's face, Kong Jie widened his eyes: "Could it be you, kid?"

"hey-hey……"

Li Yunlong nodded, which was considered as an admission.

Xing Zhiguo said, "Our regimental commander is now treated as a brigade commander, and if we can win this battle, Boss Lin will reimburse the troops for the ammunition consumed and weapons damaged in the battle."

"It's not just this one." Li Yunlong added, "If the troops I command win in the future, I can ask Boss Lin to reimburse me for their weapons and ammunition."

Ding Wei and Kong Jie suddenly understood.

In this battle, more than 108 main forces were dispatched to ambush the 100th Division. If each soldier consumed 400 rounds of bullets on average, more than million rounds of bullets would have been consumed.

Which leader can resist the temptation of reimbursement of more than 400 million rounds of bullets?

Ding Wei and Kong Jie showed undisguised envy on their faces.
