Anti-Japanese War: I have unlimited assistance

Chapter 488 Arrangement!

Morning of the fifth day.

"Report to the regiment commander, Radar No. 1 just called and said that more than 20 Japanese planes took off from Datong and are heading towards Ping'an County in northwest Shanxi!"

A staff officer walked in quickly to report to Li Yunlong.

"Order all units to prepare for air defense!"

Li Yunlong gave the order with a serious expression.

"Yes!"

The staff officer turned to convey the order.

Looking at the staff officer's back, Li Yunlong narrowed his eyes.

Ping'an County is only more than 100 kilometers away from Datong. As soon as the Japanese planes took off from Datong Airport, the radar of the New st Regiment could detect them.

However, Boss Lin can only apply for a helicopter once every six months.

Only two months had passed since the last time he applied for a helicopter. During this period, Li Yunlong could not apply for a helicopter to destroy the Japanese aviation unit at Datong Airport.

However, Boss Lin said that there will be business in small, light and medium helicopters in the future.

If the New 1st Regiment earned a batch of helicopters, they would not have to apply to Boss Lin and could fly helicopters to bomb the Japanese airports at any time.

Thinking of this, Li Yunlong's eyes became slightly hotter.

By that time, the New 1st Regiment should have a jet like Boss Lin's, right?

A minute later, long and shrill air defense alarms were heard at the various troop stations in the New 1st Regiment's base.

At the same time, three anti-aircraft battalions were ready at key positions, with their guns pointing towards the northeast sky.

Around Ping'an County, Hu Zi led the Zhan Hu Battalion to set up some inflatable cannons and inflatable tanks, and deployed an air defense battalion around it.

Not long after, the Japanese planes arrived and rumbling explosions were heard in the distance, but they did not bomb Ping'an County.

"Report to the regiment commander, the Japanese bombed our Jiangjunling position and the highway bridge."

Half an hour later, a staff officer came running to report.

At this moment, Zhao Gang and Zhang Dabiao returned to the regiment headquarters and learned about the situation.

"Old Li, it looks like the Japanese are planning to attack the Jiangjunling fortification defense group!"

Zhao Gang's expression froze and he looked at Li Yunlong.

Li Yunlong nodded. The main force of the Japanese had approached Jiangjunling. Due to the large scale of the Japanese and their air support, Li Yunlong did not have enough troops.

This time the ambush is not easy.

Soon, another news came that more than 40 Japanese planes took off from Zhangjiakou Airport and bombed the Shaohukou and Majiapo defense lines, as well as the highway bridge leading to the Majiapo defense line.

Zhao Gang's eyes narrowed when he heard this. "It's not just Jiangjunling. It looks like the Japs are planning to attack Shaohukou, Jiangjunling, and Majiapo simultaneously."

The main forces of the New 1st Regiment, the Independent Regiment and the New 3rd Regiment have arrived at the various defensive fortifications to deploy.

Moreover, with the surveillance of air defense radar, the troops hid in the tunnels in advance and there were basically no casualties.

"It seems that the Japanese only had more than 60 planes used to attack our base in northwest Shanxi." Zhang Dabiao calculated the number of planes dispatched by the Japanese from the bombing.

Li Yunlong nodded seriously. "There are still more than 40 enemy planes. They should go to deal with the 129th Division. Da Biao, report this situation to headquarters immediately."

"Yes!"

Zhang Dabiao immediately drafted a telegram, and after Li Yunlong signed it, he ordered the communications company to send it to the headquarters.

Li Yunlong stared at the map with a frown, feeling that something was wrong.

"Old Li, have you noticed something?"

Zhao Gang asked.

Li Yunlong said, "This time, the Japanese and puppet troops deployed more than 100,000 troops. This has gone beyond the scope of mopping-up operations and can be called a battle!" "Old Li doesn't believe that this is the only method the Japanese have."

Zhao Gang said, "Although we have no intelligence support and can only respond to situations as they arise, as long as each unit performs its duties, there shouldn't be any problems."

Li Yunlong suddenly asked, "By the way, hasn't the headquarters been able to decipher the Japanese code yet?"

Although the New 14st Regiment seized the code book and radio of the th Division.

But more than three months had passed and the Japanese had changed the code book.

However, the radio and code book were sent to southeastern Shanxi, where telecommunications experts were working to decipher the enemy's new code book based on the enemy's code patterns.

Zhang Dabiao shook his head: "Not yet."

Li Yunlong nodded. "Order all troops to defend the base with all their might, especially to prevent the Japanese from entering the base through small paths. Also, order the engineers to repair the bridge as soon as possible."

"Old Zhao, you stay in the county and coordinate logistics."

"Da Biao, come with me to Jiangjunling and see for yourself how strong the devils are!"

"Yes!"

"Okay." Zhao Gang nodded. "Be sure to be careful on the way to Jiangjunling."

Then Li Yunlong and Zhang Dabiao, under the protection of a guard company, rode military horses towards Jiangjunling.

……

Opposite Jiangjunling, a large number of Japanese and puppet troops gathered.

Japanese front-line headquarters.

The frontline commander, Major General Iida Sadamisu, glanced at the officers and said sternly, "Gentlemen, the 21st Air Regiment just bombed the Eighth Route Army's Jiangjunling position."

"Now, it's our turn to perform!"

"Sangmu-kun!"

Iida Sadatsugu was the commander of the Imperial Guards Division. This time he led the main force of the Imperial Guards Division to the Chinese battlefield with the intention of inviting nuclear locusts. His goal was to avenge the Japanese troops killed by the Eighth Route Army, including Major General Sakurada Takeshi and the Imperial Guards Mixed Brigade, and to wash away the shame.

Because Iida Sadamisu was a close minister to Tian Huang, he was appointed as the commander of the first attack force, which was also the main attack.

Sangmu Chongming stood up. He was from the artillery and had served as the commander of the 3rd Field Heavy Artillery Brigade. He is now the commander of the 110th Division.

Because of his rich experience in commanding artillery, Sugiyama Gen appointed him as the commander of the temporary field artillery division, which was under the command of the Guards Field Artillery Regiment of the 4th Field Heavy Artillery Brigade, the 4th and 8th Field Heavy Artillery Regiments, the 110th Mountain Artillery Regiment, the 108th Mountain Artillery Regiment directly under the North China Front Army, and the 1st and 2nd Independent Siege Heavy Artillery Battalions.

The firepower is extremely strong.

Iida Sadago looked at Kuwagi Takaaki and said, "Your temporary artillery division will deploy artillery firepower in this area and be responsible for providing artillery fire support!"

Sang Mu Chongming suddenly lowered his head: "Hi!"

"Sakai-kun!"

"You lead the 28th Infantry Brigade and are responsible for attacking the Eighth Route Army's Yunshan position. The Eighth Route Army has an artillery observation post on the Yunshan position!"

"After we capture the Yunshan position, the Eighth Route Army's artillery will find it difficult to suppress our temporary artillery division. This is crucial to conquering the Jiangjunling defense line!"

"This is a golden opportunity to wash away the shame of the 14th Division and avenge Lieutenant General Iseki Takamasa, its commander, and his men. You and the 14th Brigade must seize this opportunity!"

"Hi!"

The 28th Brigade Commander Sakai Takashi had a fierce gleam of revenge in his eyes. He suddenly lowered his head, looking like a ruthless man of few words.

When the New 14st Regiment of the Eighth Route Army attacked the 27th Division Headquarters and the 28th Brigade, although the th Brigade received orders from the First Army to retreat to Datong, it was still labeled by some people as deserting the battlefield.

In this battle, Sakai Takashi and the Japanese soldiers of the 28th Brigade came with a rage for revenge.

Either defeat the New 1st Regiment of the Eighth Route Army, or die!
