Anti-Japanese War: I have unlimited assistance

Chapter 392 Price!

The 115th Division-level unit where Yu Changjiang was located fought against the Japanese army many times, with both sides winning and losing.

Since last year, the 115th Division has received a large number of light and heavy machine guns, mortars, mountain artillery and other equipment supported by the headquarters.

This enabled the main force of the 115th Division to gain a firepower advantage in the battle with the Japanese army.

The regiment he led even achieved an excellent record of severely damaging a Japanese infantry battalion.

Originally, Yu Changjiang was to serve as the commander of the newly formed regiment of the 115th Division.

However, on the eve of taking office, he received a transfer order from headquarters and came directly from the western Shanxi base to northwestern Shanxi to serve as the deputy commander of the new 1st regiment.

Before coming, he knew that the New 1st Regiment had strong combat effectiveness and intelligence capabilities.

but.

He didn't know that the New 1st Regiment was so powerful that it could actually obtain the Japanese army's combat plan to attack northwestern Shanxi!
This is a bit abnormal.

Li Yunlong nodded: "That's right. I'll tell you how I got the information after the meeting."

Zhao Gang took a look at all the officers attending the meeting. There were at least twenty or thirty of them, all of whom were battalion commanders or company commanders.

Although they are all at the level of battalion commander or company commander, these battalion-level units are basically at the regimental level, and company-level units are basically at the battalion level.

Zhao Gang said: "Based on reliable intelligence."

"The Japanese First Army is deploying two divisions, three mixed brigades, and the main force of five puppet army divisions to launch a thunderbolt surprise attack on our base in northwest Shanxi, codenamed Operation A."

"The total number of troops deployed by the Japanese army this time is 6 Japanese troops and 2 puppet troops. This offensive force is unprecedented!"

Even in Yamamoto's last battle plan, when the Japanese army attacked southeastern Shanxi and intended to decapitate the headquarters, the number of troops did not reach this level.

Yu Changjiang keenly discovered that when Zhao Gang mentioned the enemy's troop strength, the troops under the New 1st Regiment not only did not look solemn, but their eyes were burning and their expressions were excited, as if they couldn't wait to go to the battlefield and fight the Japanese.

He was stunned. This situation was somewhat unexpected.

Even the 115th Division, one of the Eighth Route Army's three main divisions, had to avoid the fierce attack of such a large force of 6 Japanese troops and puppet troops.

The New 6st Regiment is just a regiment. Could it be that Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang want to confront 2 devils and puppet troops head-on?

Next, Zhao Gang continued to talk about the Japanese army's offensive route and the New 1st Regiment's anti-encirclement and suppression plan - to break one point and shake the entire line.

Needless to say, among the Japanese offensive forces, the Imperial Guards Mixed Brigade was definitely the most aggressive.

These devils are the guards of the Heavenly Locust, and they are eager to sacrifice themselves bravely for their Majesty the Heavenly Locust.

Then we should catch the Guards Mixed Brigade and eat up this damn Guards Mixed Brigade.

Killing the Japanese mixed guard brigade would not only break their encirclement plan, but also deal a heavy blow to their morale.

Also.

The business of eating up or severely damaging the Imperial Guards Mixed Brigade is a big business, and Boss Lin expressed great interest.

Boss Lin said that if the Imperial Guards Mixed Brigade could be defeated or severely damaged, there would be a surprise, but he did not say what the surprise would be.

After Zhao Gang introduced the enemy and our own situation and the Japanese attack plan, Li Yunlong glanced sharply at the battalion and company commanders:
"Headquarters has already approved our battle plan. The telegram from the boss only had one sentence. The boss said, 'I have only one request: choke each of those damned Sky Locust Guards to death in the cesspool.'"

As soon as these words were spoken, the battalion and company commanders expressed their opinions one after another. Morale was high, and both officers and soldiers were ready at all times. Li Yunlong nodded with satisfaction and said, "Since no one disagrees, then it's decided. We will adopt the tactic of disrupting their position at one point to destabilize their entire force. This time, we must destroy the Imperial Guards Mixed Brigade and eliminate Sakurada Takeshi!"

"Now I'll assign some tasks."

"Deputy Commander Yu is in charge of campaign preparations and logistics."

"Political Commissar Zhao is in charge of pre-war mobilization."

"Chief of Staff Zhang and I will be responsible for scouting the terrain and continuing to refine the combat plan and emergency response plan."

"After the rest of the battalions and company commanders of the regiments return, prepare dry food and distribute ammunition as needed. Be fully prepared for a first-level battle. The Japanese are launching a surprise attack this time and may attack at any time."

"Does anyone have any questions?"

Everyone shook their heads, only the Second Battalion Commander asked:

"Captain, if we take out the Guards Mixed Brigade this time, what price will Boss Lin give us?"

Everyone immediately pricked up their ears and looked at Li Yunlong.

Everything depends on the harvest, and the price of a mixed guard brigade has become the focus of attention of the battalion and company commanders.

Li Yunlong said: "The price is the same as in Jinzhong. Killing a Japanese soldier from the Guards Mixed Brigade will be charged the same as killing two ordinary Japanese soldiers. Killing Sakurada Takeshi will be charged separately. There will also be a surprise."

Yu Changjiang on the side was confused, but the eyes of the battalion commanders were even more burning, and their expressions were more expectant and eager to try.

The second battalion commander's eyes lit up. "This Guards Mixed Brigade has a total strength of approximately 10,000 men. Wouldn't the price of taking it be even better than taking over a second-tier division?"

"That's right!" Li Yunlong nodded expectantly. "The price we get for taking over the Imperial Guards Mixed Brigade is equivalent to taking over an entire special division."

This is also the reason why Li Yunlong insisted on consuming the Guards Mixed Brigade!

"If we can defeat the Japanese Imperial Guards Mixed Brigade," Zhang Dabiao said sharply, "we can expand our main force by 20,000."

"What are you thinking, kid? We have to hand over half of the weapons and ammunition we earned."

Li Yunlong scolded him, showing a high level of ideological awareness.

The New 1st Regiment or even the three regiments in northwestern Shanxi would definitely not be able to defeat the Japanese on their own.

Because the Eighth Route Army was facing the entire Japanese First Army and even the entire North China Front Army.

But as long as we can wipe out the Guards Mixed Brigade, and then take advantage of the situation to defeat the Fourth Brigade, we will definitely make a lot of money in this business!
"Yes." Zhang Dabiao said with a fiery look in his eyes, "Then we can also expand the main force by 10,000."

Although there will be sacrifices in the battle to destroy the Guards Mixed Brigade, as long as the battle is won, Boss Lin will reimburse the New 1st Regiment for weapons and ammunition.

Zhang Dabiao was excited at the thought of living the life of a military chief of staff in the future.

"It's definitely more than 10,000 men." Zhao Gang said with a smile, "What about the captured troops?"

"Yes, and there's also the captured ones!" Zhang Dabiao's smile grew even brighter. "The enemy equipment of the Guards Mixed Brigade must be first-rate. If we destroy them, we can seize at least 3000 rifles, hundreds of machine guns, and dozens of cannons. If we use these captured weapons to equip the Ping'an County Brigade, it will be the most powerful county brigade on the planet."

"What are you doing? What are you doing?" Li Yunlong said angrily. "Dreaming of getting married in broad daylight—you're just daydreaming. You're thinking about expanding your organization before you even get rich?"

"If there's nothing else, let's disperse immediately. I have to scout the terrain again this afternoon."
