Anti-Japanese War: I have unlimited assistance

Chapter 50 The main force of the Japanese has arrived!

As Li Yunlong's order was issued, various units began to prepare for action.

"Lao Li, Lao Li."

Zhang Wanhe, the head of the logistics department, came over with a pistol in hand, looking murderous.

"Are there any living devils left? Let me kill a few of them to satisfy my craving."

Although Zhang Wanhe was engaged in logistics work, his marksmanship was also good. Soldiers who could complete the Long March were not ordinary people.

"Lao Zhang," Li Yunlong said, "You're late. All the damn devils have been killed. If you want to kill devils for your own pleasure, you'll have to run faster next time."

"So fast?"

Zhang Wanhe was shocked and said, "Weren't there more than 1000 Japanese soldiers? They were wiped out in just half an hour?"

Although we know that the firepower of these three regiments has been greatly enhanced, the chances of winning this battle are greater.

So as soon as the gunfire rang out, Zhang Wanhe led the transport team and hurried over here.

His purpose was to grab a sip of soup from the combat troops, but he didn't expect the combat troops to move so quickly that he didn't even get to drink the soup.

"That's right!"

Li Yunlong nodded and said:

"Lao Zhang, the Japanese reinforcements are heading here. I'm leaving you with three companies to clean up the battlefield, rescue the wounded, and load and unload combat supplies. Japanese planes might be approaching, so you must move the supplies as quickly as possible to prevent them from bombing you. I'll lead my troops to intercept the Japanese from Xinkou to buy you some time. How long will it take for your transport team to get the supplies to a safe area?"

Zhang Wanhe's expression was stern: "How much combat supplies do we have in total?"

"There were about 60 truckloads of combat supplies in total," Li Yunlong said. "About 20 truckloads were destroyed in the battle, leaving about 40 truckloads of combat supplies."

"Each Japanese truck carries 3000 kilograms of supplies," Zhang Wanhe said. "That's a total of 12 kilograms of combat supplies. Haha, we're rich! In at most three hours, our transport team can move the Japanese's combat supplies to a safe area!"

"Okay!" Li Yunlong nodded. "Then I'll buy your transport team three hours."

At this time, the vanguard of the transport team's mule carts had arrived.

The New 1st Regiment, the Independent Regiment and the New 3rd Regiment each left behind one company.

Then Kong Jie led the main force of the independent regiment to reinforce the first battalion of the new first regiment in the direction of Dai County.

Li Yunlong and Ding Wei led the officers and soldiers of the New 769st and New rd Regiments to reinforce the brother units of the th Regiment in the opposite direction.

Simultaneously.

The radio carried by Zhang Wanhe's transport team sent a telegram reporting the situation in Wangdongbao to the division headquarters.

……

Nanru Village, Wutai County.

Headquarters.

The deputy commander-in-chief, deputy chief of general staff and other leaders stared at the map on the table with serious expressions.

The Battle of Xinkou lasted for more than 10 days. Although the Japanese failed to capture the position, the Chinese army suffered heavy losses.

Judging from the current situation, the 120th and 115th Divisions of the Eighth Route Army have cut off the Xinkou Japanese's transportation line from Zhangjiakou to Daixian.

The Japanese in Xinkou should find it difficult to break through the Kuomintang's defense line from the front.

But there is a problem!
Since the Japanese cannot break through from Xinkou, they will definitely find a way from other places.

"Niangziguan."

The deputy commander frowned slightly and pointed at the location of Niangzi Pass on the map:

"Half a month ago, the commander-in-chief reminded Yan Xishan that he must strengthen the defenses of Niangzi Pass. He humbly agreed, but only sent a small number of troops to eastern Shanxi, resulting in the current situation."

Yan Xishan attached great importance to the defense of northern Shanxi and deployed his main forces in Xinkou and its two wings, resulting in fewer troops in eastern Shanxi. Only Yan Xishan's Jinsui Army was guarding eastern Shanxi.

In order to support the Japanese attack on Shanxi, tens of thousands of elite Japanese troops from the 20th Division were approaching Niangzi Pass from Baoding, Shimen City and Jingxing County.

Once Niangzi Pass was lost, the Japanese would attack Yangquan and Shouyang along the Zhengtai Line, and even go around to the rear of the Chinese army in Xinkou.

The consequences will be unimaginable.

Tens of thousands of Nationalist soldiers from the First War Zone were urgently reinforcing Niangzi Pass. At this time, Commander Liu of the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army led the main force of the 386th Brigade to reinforce Niangzi Pass.

In addition, the 115rd Brigade of the 343th Division was also sending reinforcements in the direction of Niangziguan.

If the 386th Brigade was still in the Wutai County area, the main force of the 386th Brigade would definitely have participated in the battle of Wangdongbao.

The Deputy Chief of General Staff sighed and said, "Now it depends on whether the national army can rush to Niangzi Pass and resist the Japanese offensive."

"Report to the chief!"

At this moment, an Eighth Route Army communications staff officer walked in quickly, holding a telegram in his hand:

"Logistics Minister Zhang Wanhe sent a victory report: The 129st, Independent, and 1000rd Regiments of the 12th Division ambushed a Japanese transport convoy at Wangdongbao, Dai County, around p.m. After a half-hour battle, they killed and wounded over Japanese soldiers and seized approximately kilograms of supplies."

After completing the report, the communications staff handed the telegram to the deputy commander-in-chief.

"Good job!"

After reading the telegram, the deputy commander-in-chief was overjoyed.

"This kid Li Yunlong is really a genius."

The Deputy Chief of General Staff took the telegram and read it, a look of appreciation appearing on his face.

In half an hour, more than 1000 Japanese soldiers were killed or wounded, and 60 tons of combat supplies were seized.

This guy has something!

Now was not the time for commendations. The deputy commander immediately said, "Forward this telegram to Ya'an immediately. Also, send a telegram to Zhang Wanhe, ordering him to transfer the combat supplies as quickly as possible."

"Yes!"

The communications officer was turning away with the telegram.

"and many more!"

The deputy chief of general staff called the communications staff and quickly drafted a telegram to the deputy commander-in-chief.

The deputy commander-in-chief looked at the telegram and handed it to the communications staff: "Send this telegram to General Wei Lihuang immediately."

"Yes!"

The communications staff officer straightened his body, turned around and ran quickly to generate electricity.

……

It is about 769 kilometers from Wangdongbao to the blocking position of the 10th Regiment.

Because they were traveling by road, the Independent Regiment and the New Third Regiment arrived after a quick march of more than an hour.

At this time, the 769th Regiment happened to be engaged in a firefight with the Japanese Baimu Squadron in Gang County.

The Baimu Squadron set out from the county seat of Gang County and took a small truck to Wangdongbao for reinforcement.

However, the Japanese were afraid of stepping on landmines, so they walked slower than usual along the way, and now they are only 10 kilometers away from Wangdongbao.

The 769rd Battalion of the 3th Regiment engaged in a firefight with the Japanese Kashiwagi Squadron, and the two sides were still in the stage of mutual testing.

After Li Yunlong understood the situation, he immediately laughed. Why did this Japanese squadron come?
The food is delivered!

Therefore, the main forces of Li Yunlong's New 1st Regiment and New 3rd Regiment encircled the enemy from the left and right wings.

After the flanking troops arrived, the 769th Regiment launched a frontal attack.

The battle was over in less than 15 minutes. The officers and soldiers of the three regiments cooperated with each other tacitly and wiped out the Japanese Kashiwagi Squadron in one bite. Captain Kashiwagi Nanping was beaten into a sieve.

There was no time to clean up the battlefield.

The scouts of the 769th Regiment came on horseback to report.

A large number of Japanese vehicles came from the direction of Gang County, at least 150 vehicles, and each vehicle was fully loaded with Japanese soldiers.

The main force of the Japanese troops who came to reinforce the Dike Detachment at the Xinkou battlefield has arrived!
