Anti-Japanese War: I have unlimited assistance

Chapter 335: Prepare for both situations!

Lieutenant General Masataka Yamawaki was a good friend of Lieutenant General Takaaki Kuwaki, commander of the 110th Division of the Japanese Army, and they had a close relationship.

In 1914, when the 26th class of the Japanese Army School graduated, Yamawaki Masataka and Kuwaki Takaaki were admitted to the sword group because of their excellent academic performance.

The Saber Group was a name given to the top six graduates of each Army University class in Japan before World War II. It was named because these six people were able to receive the swords bestowed by the Emperor.

Members of the Saber Group often have a good development foundation in the Japanese army.

Among them were many senior Japanese generals and figures who had a significant influence on modern Japanese history, such as Mutō Akira and Tojo Hideki.

This time, Yamawaki Masataka went to Taiyuan to serve as commander of the First Army.

He sent a telegram to Sangmu Chongming, commander of the 110th Division.

He first planned to fly to the 110th Division Headquarters in Shimen City to meet with Sang Mu Chongming, and then fly to Taiyuan to take up the post of commander of the First Army.

This intelligence contains detailed information about Sangmu Chongming, as well as the defense situation of Shimen City, Dagu Village Airport and its surrounding areas.

The last time the Blade Commando killed Major General Sekigahara Roku near Shimen City.

The Japanese army strengthened its defenses near Shimen City, and the 110th Division headquarters also moved from Baoding to Shimen City.

After reading the intelligence information, Li Yunlong's expression changed slightly.

Then he asked tentatively, "This intelligence information is not easy to obtain. Could it be that Brother Lin has also planted intelligence personnel in the North China Front Command?"

Ding Wei and Kong Jie also looked at Lin Feng expectantly.

Anyone who could obtain such detailed intelligence must be a high-ranking staff officer in the North China Front Command.

Lin Feng smiled slightly and said nothing.

The more you talk, the more you reveal. There are no high-level spies or high-level agents. Let Li Yunlong and others guess.

"Great!"

Li Yunlong smiled slightly, as if he understood Lin Feng's smile and praised him.

"It's really awesome!"

"You are indeed worthy of being Boss Lin!"

Ding Wei and Kong Jie also praised it highly.

Next, Lin Feng received Li Yunlong's warm hospitality, and Ding Wei and Kong Jie also benefited from it.

The four of them had a great time chatting, ranging from war history and examples to future wars, from domestic battlefields to international current affairs, from tactics to strategy, and from military affairs to politics.

However, Raymond Lam did not reveal much about the future trends.

Ding, Kong and Li are all smart people. If he reveals something, they will draw inferences about the rest of the story.

After eating and drinking, Lin Feng planned to leave, and the three of them and the guards sent him out of the city.

After returning to the city, Ding Wei and Kong Jie did not stay long. After confirming the number of weapons and ammunition, they each returned to their base.

Now, 195 more large trucks have been added to the Jinzhong base, and the total number of large trucks has exceeded 300.

Based on the calculation that a large truck has a single load capacity of 4 tons, it can carry 1200 tons of combat supplies at one time.

After everyone left, Li Yunlong took out the map and Boss Lin's information and started looking at them.

If we don't kill Yamawaki Masataka, then this intelligence information will be in vain, and the price of 250 Japanese soldiers will be lost in vain.

blood loss.

But if you kill this Yamawaki Masataka, you can get 18 152mm howitzers, which is a huge profit.

Li Yunlong naturally didn't want to do business at a loss.

However, Shimen City is now the base of the 110th Division and its defense is very tight. It is much more difficult to kill this old Japanese devil near Shimen City than the last time the Blade Commando killed Major General Sekigahara Roku near Shimen City.

The intelligence said that Yamawaki Masataka planned to rest in Shimen City for one night and then fly to Taiyuan Airport the next day.

It is even more difficult to take action near Taiyuan Airport. After two shellings on Taiyuan Airport, the Japanese deployed an infantry regiment to defend it. Now it is difficult for the Blade Commando to get within five kilometers of the airport.

Not long after, Xing Zhiguo, who had been assigned to the army, came back and read the intelligence information delivered by Boss Lin personally.

"Old Xing, do you have any good ideas after reading the intelligence information?" Li Yunlong asked. He had already discussed it with Xing Zhiguo, and Xing Zhiguo was very willing to stay in the Jinzhong base.

In addition to the 30 infantry companies that developed independently, Li Yunlong also left him more than 6000 main forces, plus the militia forces, with a total strength of people, which is definitely the strength of a division.

The militia forces are also equipped with Japanese weapons and have a certain level of combat effectiveness.

As long as we advance steadily and cautiously, the Japanese will not be able to do anything to the Jinzhong base. Moreover, the Northwest Shanxi Military Region and the Southeast Shanxi Base are ready to provide support at any time.

Xing Zhiguo said, "Captain, it's certainly difficult for us to kill Yamawaki Masataka this time, but there's still a chance." "Oh?" Li Yunlong's expression changed. "What chance?"

Xing Zhiguo said: "It is more difficult to take action at Taiyuan Airport than at Daguo Village Airport. I suggest taking action at Daguo Village Airport."

Li Yunlong nodded, and Xing Zhiguo continued, "Last time we killed Sekigahara Roku, we used an 82mm mortar. This time, we can use a 120mm mortar for long-range shooting. Let the members of the Sharp Blade Commando infiltrate near Daguo Village Airport to guide them. When Yamawaki Masataka's plane arrives at Daguo Village Airport, they will open fire. If that old devil Sangmu Chongming comes to the airport to greet him, we can just blow them both up and kill two lieutenant generals. This will be another fortune."

"This is a good idea." Li Yunlong nodded. He had thought of this idea. This tactic was used during the first bombardment of Taiyuan. Li Yunlong personally led the team and set up 6 120mm mortars on Wohu Mountain to bombard Taiyuan Airport, killing Tanaka Takayoshi and Machijiri Ryoki.

Unfortunately, the Japanese strengthened the defense of Wohu Mountain and its surrounding areas, and built some bunkers and artillery towers on Wohu Mountain. Li Yunlong had no chance to repeat his old tricks on Wohu Mountain.

Xing Zhiguo felt that his tactics were pretty good.

The 105mm howitzer has good power and high accuracy, and it is very effective in bombarding airports.

However, this thing must be pulled by a large truck. This place is too far away from Shimen City Airport. The roads and railways are controlled by the Japanese, and the 105 howitzer cannot pass through.

But the 120mm mortar can get through. It is light and can be pulled very quickly by a big mule.

However, after completing the mission, in order to facilitate retreat, the 120mm mortar must be blown up and the big mule must be killed.

But as long as Yamawaki Masataka can be killed, it will not be a loss. If Sangmu Chongming can be killed by the bombing, it will be an even bigger profit.

Li Yunlong stared at the map and pondered for ten minutes. Finally, he narrowed his eyes and said, "We need to prepare for both scenarios before beheading Yamawaki Masataka this time."

Xing Zhiguo hurriedly asked, "Which two preparations?"

Li Yunlong said: "First, when Yamawaki Masataka gets off the plane, use 120mm mortars to bombard Daguo Village Airport."

"These two have a good relationship. I think Sangmu Chongming will most likely go to the Daguo Village airport to greet them."

"By then, the defenses around Daguo Village Airport will likely be very abnormal, and the Blade Commandos may not stand a chance."

Xing Zhiguo nodded. It was not impossible. After all, there was a precedent. Half a year ago, a major general was killed as soon as he left Dagu Village Airport, and the airport was also bombarded.

At this point, Li Yunlong paused and then asked, "Old Xing, what do you think we should do as a second-hand preparation?"

Xing Zhiguo knew that Li Yunlong was testing him, so his eyes began to wander over the map.

Then, Xing Zhiguo thought about it and said, "If there's no chance at Daguo Village Airport, then we can only attack on the highway between Daguo Village Airport and Shimen City, or in Shimen City. Last time, our Sharp Blade Commando took out Major General Guan Yuanli on the highway. There's no way the Japanese won't be prepared this time."

"Captain, so you plan to have the Blade Commandos infiltrate the city and attack the 110th Division Headquarters in the middle of the night?"

Apart from sending the Blade Commando to launch a surprise attack on the 110th Division Headquarters in the middle of the night, Xing Zhiguo could not think of any other way.

Then, Xing Zhiguo explained how to arrange his method.

The Blade Commandos are armed with assault rifles and silencers, and equipped with night vision goggles. Once they cut off the Japanese power supply in the middle of the night, they can easily wipe out the 110th Division Headquarters.

The only problem is that it is easy to infiltrate, but difficult to retreat after the battle begins.

The Blade Commandos are very strong, but they cannot compete head-on with a Japanese infantry regiment.

However, troops can be arranged outside the city to provide support, and the Blade Commandos may be able to retreat safely after success.

Li Yunlong shook his head in denial: "The Japanese's defenses are abnormal. Apart from the Blade Commandos, what other troops can infiltrate the vicinity of Shimen City?"

"Captain," Xing Zhiguo asked, "what is your second-hand plan..."

"The second plan is," Li Yunlong said with a cold smile, "if the Blade Commando has no chance in Shimen City, then we will kill that old devil Yamawaki Masataka from the air."

"Kill him from the air?" Xing Zhiguo was suddenly shocked. "We don't have a plane!"

"You mean, for the price of killing the Japanese, we can ask Boss Lin to send his plane to kill Yamawaki Masataka?"

"But Commander, if we do that, we won't be able to afford 18 152mm howitzers."

Xing Zhiguo thought of asking the Kuomintang planes to kill Yamawaki Masataka.

But he immediately rejected it. Firstly, there was no bargaining chip, and secondly, the Nationalist army had been infiltrated like a sieve.

More than half a year ago, Li Yunlong obtained detailed information about Yoshio Shinozuka's itinerary to the First Army. The Eighth Route Army headquarters also notified the National Army to send planes to kill Yoshio Shinozuka. However, the information was learned by the Japanese in advance, which made the Japanese prepared and planned to ambush the National Army's planes. If it were not for Boss Lin's timely intelligence, the National Army's few remaining air force units would have suffered heavy losses.

"Neither." Li Yunlong's expression showed courage and strategy. "Let's use anti-aircraft guns to shoot down Yamawaki Masataka."

"When that old devil, Yamawaki Masataka, takes up his post as commander of the First Army, he will undoubtedly fly from Shimen City to Taiyuan along the Zhengtai Road."

"Our Jinzhong Military Region is right next to Zhengtai Road. I don't believe this old devil won't stop by and take a look."

"When the time comes, hehe..."

After saying this, Captain Li smiled grimly.
