Anti-Japanese War: I have unlimited assistance

Chapter 41 Happy Meat Eating!

Fat, and with a big word added?

Captain Li's words obviously whetted people's appetite.

Kong Jie and Ding Wei's eyes suddenly lit up.

Ding Wei licked his lips. He hadn't eaten meat for a long time.

The three brothers were from the same class and understood what Li Yunlong meant. The meat here was not pork or beef, but the meat of the Japanese.

The devil's meat is more delicious!

Kong Jie's face was full of anticipation: "Old Li! Stop keeping me in suspense, kid. What kind of combat mission is this?"

Li Yunlong took a long drag on his cigarette, then exhaled heavily: "You want to drink the Japanese sake and eat the Japanese canned beef, now's your chance!"

Then Li Yunlong threw away the cigarette butt, stood up and took out a battle map.

The battle map shows the marching route, red arrows indicating the direction of attack, and the location of the blocking troops.

Ding Wei and Kong Jie threw away their cigarette butts and looked seriously at the battle map on the table.

"Based on intelligence."

Li Yunlong tapped the map with his finger:
"Dai County was the enemy's transit point for supplies on the Xinkou front. The enemy first used trains along the Pingsui Road to transport supplies from Peking to Datong, and then used cars to transport supplies to Dai County via highway."

"Then we will transport the combat supplies from Daixian County to the Xinkou front."

"Strange," Kong Jie said, "Why did the Japanese transport combat supplies directly to Xinkou?"

Li Yunlong said unhappily, "Then you have to ask the devils."

"That's easy to explain," Ding Wei said. "Look at the map. The 60-70 kilometer stretch of road from Daixian to Xinkou is basically entirely within the Xinzhou Basin, making it less vulnerable to ambushes. The Japanese stored their war supplies in Daixian County in case the logistics supply line from Datong to Daixian was cut off. If the supply line from Datong to Daixian was cut off, the Japanese on the Xinkou front wouldn't be completely destitute of ammunition and food."

"That makes sense!" Kong Jie nodded. "The Japanese have stretched their front lines too far, their manpower is insufficient, and their logistical supply lines are easily cut off. The main forces of our 120th and 115th Divisions are engaged in this business. I estimate that these two divisions will be able to get a lot of the Japanese fat meat."

Li Yunlong raised the corner of his mouth:
"The 120th and 115th Divisions are eating up the Japanese fat meat on the highway and railway north of Daixian. We will eat up the Japanese fat meat on the highway from Daixian to Xinkou."

Ding Wei and Kong Jie looked at each other and saw a hint of anticipation and excitement in each other's eyes.

Immediately, Kong Jie stared at the map for a while, his tone puzzled:
"Old Li, judging by the contour lines on this map, there aren't any suitable places for an ambush on the road from Daixian County to the Xinkou front line."

"Old Li, do you want to attack the county town?" Ding Wei expressed his guess, and Kong Jie's eyes were also burning.

As brothers from the same class, Ding Wei and Kong Jie know Li Yunlong too well.

Not to mention three regiments, Li Yunlong dared to attack the county town with only one regiment. He really dared to do it.

This is a guy who is fearless just to get some fat meat.

Of course, Li Yunlong will not act recklessly. He will only do it after calculating the cost and knowing whether he can make money.

Ding Wei guessed that Li Yunlong probably had an insider in the county town, which gave him the opportunity to capture the county town.

otherwise.

Even if the county town was defended by only one Japanese squadron, it would not be easy for three core regiments to capture the county town, not to mention that the main force of the Japanese in Xinkou was ready to reinforce at any time.

Ding Wei and Kong Jie thought that the fat meat Li Yunlong was talking about was the Japanese combat supplies in Dai County.

Li Yunlong said, "I, Old Li, am indeed envious of the Japanese combat supplies in the county, but the fat meat I'm talking about isn't just the combat supplies in the county. I want all the dike detachment and combat supplies that are escorting the Japanese transport team."

"You want both pieces of fat?" Ding Wei and Kong Jie were suddenly shocked, thinking that Li Yunlong had a big appetite. Then Li Yunlong told them the information that the dike detachment was escorting the Japanese army's supply troops between Daixian and Xinkou.

"Old Li, according to what you said, the combat effectiveness of the Japanese Dike Detachment is even stronger than that of an ordinary Japanese battalion." After hearing what Li Yunlong said, Kong Jieyu said worriedly, "One of the Japanese battalions can fight against an entire Nationalist division. Can our three regiments do the same?"

"And if you look at the map, there's no terrain suitable for an ambush on either side of the road from Daixian to Xinkou."

"Besides, there are the Japanese cavalry and motorcade in Xinkou ready to reinforce us at any time. This deal is not going to be easy."

Since Li Yunlong wants to eat two pieces of fat meat at the same time.

Then it must not be an attack on the county town. With more than a thousand Japanese soldiers defending the county town, it would be difficult to capture it even if the entire main force of the 129th Division was deployed, because the Eighth Route Army had no heavy weapons for sieges and was in urgent need of ammunition. In addition, there were tens of thousands of elite Japanese soldiers who could be reinforced at any time.

Then we can only ambush the Japanese on the way.

But the terrain of the Xinzhou Basin is not as mountainous as Pingxingguan.

Ding Wei also noticed this just now.

Li Yunlong snorted and said, "What can you tell from a map? Who said there's no terrain for ambushes? I hate commanders who use maps to command operations. They don't even conduct on-site reconnaissance, but they can tell where the battle opportunities are just from the map."

After saying this, Li Yunlong tapped the map twice with his right index finger.

"Wangdongbao, there's a bridge here. On both sides of the bridge are earthen slopes. Although the slopes are not high or steep, they are covered with weeds, which is perfect for hiding. When the Japanese transport convoy crosses the bridge, we will suddenly blow up the bridge, splitting the Japanese in two and making it impossible for the front and rear to see each other."

"Then the soldiers ambushed on the slope suddenly opened fire, catching the Japanese off guard and wiping them out in one fell swoop."

"But be careful, the Japanese have deployed scouts on these two gentle slopes, and they are disguised as shepherds herding sheep."

"The night before yesterday, the 769th Regiment raided the Japanese airfield. Their first battalion blew up this bridge, cutting off the Japanese's logistical supply lines."

"Right now, the Japanese engineers are rushing to repair the bridge. Once they finish, the Japanese transport team will definitely use this bridge to transport combat supplies from Dai County to the Xinkou front. Then, hey, our chance to eat meat will come."

Kong Jie raised a question: "Old Li, I have a question. According to your intelligence, this Japanese dike detachment, including the baggage train, has at least 1000 people. The Japanese are very powerful. On the front line, one Japanese soldier can be as powerful as five Nationalist soldiers. We have 1 people in three regiments, half of whom don't have guns, and we don't have much ammunition... We have too little capital in this battle, and it is very likely to be a losing business. What are your chances of winning?"

Kong Jie's analysis was not without reason, and Ding Wei also looked solemn. These two pieces of fat looked delicious, but they were definitely not that delicious.

Li Yunlong said, "Don't worry about weapons and equipment. I have a business partner who recently gave me a batch of weapons and equipment. Each of your two regiments participating in the battle will temporarily receive 100 Czech-style and 100 submachine guns, 20 submachine gun and machine gun rounds, and 20 MK5000 grenades! After the battle, each regiment's 2 Czech-style and 60 submachine guns will be handed over to the brigade headquarters, and the remaining 60 machine guns and 40 submachine guns will remain with your respective regiments. So, are you still worried about the lack of firepower now?"

"Old Li, are you telling the truth?" Ding Wei stood up suddenly, his voice rising sharply.

Kong Jie was also in disbelief, thinking he had misheard.

Li Yunlong said angrily, "Would Old Li joke about something like this? After the combat mission is over, Old Kong, you can go directly to the brigade headquarters to collect weapons and ammunition. The brigade commander has already agreed. As for your share, Old Ding, I will arrange for the guard platoon to accompany you and transport the weapons and ammunition directly from here to your regimental headquarters."

"Without a good pair of teeth, how can you eat meat? And two big pieces of fat meat at that? Just because Old Li is handsome?"

Seeing that Li Yunlong didn't seem to be entertaining himself.

Ding Wei and Kong Jie gradually went from being shocked to being surprised.

"Haha, Lao Li, then I wish us a happy meat-eating!" Ding Wei immediately laughed.

"Enjoy your meat!" Li Yunlong also laughed.

"Old Li, tell me your battle plan quickly." Kong Jie couldn't wait any longer.
