Anti-Japanese War: I have unlimited assistance

Not an improvement, but a leap!

Because Li Yunlong also earned at least this much weapons and equipment, maybe even more.

Regarding the military production line, Li Yunlong had already sent a telegram to the head of the headquarters in advance, and this time Li Yunlong did not need to hand in the production line he earned.

Of course, instructors, spare parts, etc. will also be provided to the tank troops.

However, telegrams are very concise, so these more details will naturally not be mentioned in the telegram.

"What else did Li Yunlong say?"

The division commander keenly discovered that the list of weapons and equipment submitted by Li Yunlong was less than two pages.

Are there any weapons and equipment?

The chief of staff continued reading the telegram with a smile on his face.

All secret messages between the New 1st Regiment and the headquarters were sent using the encrypted code book provided by Boss Lin, and the code book was replaced regularly, so the confidentiality level was very high.

On the Japanese side, the code was cracked by the Eighth Route Army experts, and some of the Japanese telegrams were intercepted.

Although the Japanese had changed their code book, the Japanese code patterns had been mastered, and the Eighth Route Army telecommunications experts still had a chance to decipher the Japanese telegrams.

Soon, after reading the telegram, the chief of staff said with a look of surprise.

"Li Yunlong intends to reorganize the New 1st Regiment."

"An infantry column will be set up between the regimental and battalion levels, with each infantry column having more than 10,000 troops. In addition, there will be columns of technical forces such as artillery, cavalry, and tanks."

"Each infantry column includes infantry, artillery, cavalry, tank troops and logistics troops."

"At present, in addition to the independent battalion, the new regiment plans to have four infantry columns and four technical columns. He requested that headquarters appoint the commanders, chiefs of staff and political commissars of these eight columns."

The number of the new independent battalion of the regiment has just been decided. If the infantry column is to be reorganized, the headquarters may have to change the leadership team again.

So Li Yunlong retained the designation of the independent battalion.

The commander's eyes lit up: "This is a great idea. Each column is the size of a reinforced division. Such a column can easily defeat a second-line division of the Japanese army."

Brigade Commander Chen nodded with satisfaction. "Also, Li Yunlong is a very conscious person. He took the initiative to hand over the appointment of column commanders and political commissars to the headquarters."

The division commander adjusted his glasses and said, "Some people in Yan'an and at headquarters have always been worried that Li Yunlong might start a faction. Li Yunlong's attitude shows that he is definitely not the kind of comrade who would start a faction."

"There's a third thing," the Chief of Staff said. "Li Yunlong has requested that Comrade Zhang Wanhe be transferred to the Northwest Shanxi Military Region as Head of Logistics."

The commander looked at the division commander and said, "Hey, Zhang Wanhe is the logistics director of your 129th Division. What do you think?"

"No problem!" Commander Liu smiled faintly. "Zhang Wanhe and Li Yunlong are from the same hometown. If they work together, they will definitely be able to achieve the effect of one plus one equals two."

Li Yunlong handed over so many light and heavy weapons and equipment, most of which would definitely fall into the pockets of the 129th Division.

So Commander Liu did not ask for as much as Li Yunlong had imagined, and agreed directly.

Not to mention one Zhang Wanhe, even if it was ten Zhang Wanhes, Commander Liu would agree.

Seeing that Commander Liu agreed, the leader nodded and said, "Okay, then let Comrade Zhang Wanhe serve as the Minister of Logistics of the Northwest Shanxi Military Region, mainly responsible for the logistics of the Northwest Shanxi Military Region and the construction of the Northwest Shanxi Arsenal."

"As for the issue of troop reorganization and personnel appointments, have Li Yunlong fly to southeastern Shanxi as soon as possible to hold a meeting to discuss it. He should also submit the combat report from the previous northwestern Shanxi campaign and determine the future development and combat issues of the troops."

Although the Eighth Route Army currently has no planes, Li Yunlong can apply to Boss Lin for the use of transport planes by using the Japanese's price.

……

at the same time.

Compared with the festive atmosphere like the New Year at the Eighth Route Army headquarters, the Japanese headquarters was shrouded in gloom.

Japanese First Army Headquarters.

When attacking Taiyuan, the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army bombarded the First Army Headquarters in the inner city, reducing the headquarters building to ruins.

After the bombing killed some Japanese officers, Yoshio Shinozuka had to move his headquarters to a private house.

"Commander, the North China Front Command has just received a telegram confirming that Lieutenant General Tada Shun, commander of the 3rd Army, will take over as commander of the North China Front."

"In addition, Major General Abe Nobuhide has been posthumously awarded the rank of Lieutenant General." "Also, the 21st Aircraft Regiment destroyed six artillery regiments and three tank regiments of the Eighth Route Army. Major General Takeda Isamu was promoted to Lieutenant General of the Air Force and appointed Commander of the North China Front Air Force."

At the square table, Mutaguchi Ren'ya finished reading the telegram in his hand and reported to Shinozuka Yoshio.

Next to Yoshio Shinozuka stood Colonel Ikki Yamamoto, the deputy chief of staff of the First Army, with an expressionless face.

After hearing what Mutaguchi Ren'ya said, Yamamoto Ikki suddenly felt envious.

Comparing people with others will lead to death, and comparing goods with goods will lead to throwing away.

Takeda Isamu was much younger than him, but he had unexpectedly been promoted to lieutenant general while he was still a colonel.

Although the North China Front Army was defeated.

However, the Japanese government and media did not mention this at all. Instead, they reported extensively on the "military exploits" of Major General Takeda Isamu, portraying him as a more powerful figure than Abe Nobuhide.

As for Abe Nobuhide, he is already a thing of the past. This famous general has withered in northwestern Shanxi.

However, there is no wall that is impenetrable. In order to minimize the impact of the defeat of the North China Front Army, the Japanese government had to create a hero.

Thus, Takeda Isamu became the youngest lieutenant general in the history of the Japanese Army.

"understood."

Yoshio Shinozuka nodded expressionlessly.

Some are happy and some are sad. Takeda Isamu must be happy at this time, but Shinozuka Yoshio is undoubtedly sad.

“How long will it take for Zhengtai Road to be open to traffic?”

Yoshio Shinozuka looked at Mutaguchi Ren'ya and asked.

In the Battle of Taiyuan, the Japanese army withdrew its forces and abandoned the Zhengtai Railway, which was then captured by the Eighth Route Army.

"It will take at least two months."

When he said this, Mutaguchi Renya's tone was obviously angry.

"so long?"

Yoshio Shinozuka frowned.

Mutaguchi Renya angrily said, "After the Eighth Route Army occupied the Zhengtai Railway, they stripped away a large number of rails and sleepers. At least 30 kilometers of rails and sleepers were missing. This is worse than the pirates of the Middle Ages."

These rails and sleepers were transported back to the Huangyadong Arsenal in southeastern Shanxi by the Eighth Route Army's large trucks.

Although the quality of gun barrels and gun barrels made from melted rails is not good, the quality of the shells and grenades made from them is still good.

"Nani?"

Yoshio Shinozuka and Kazuki Yamamoto were stunned on the spot.

Not only did they destroy the rails, but they also took away the rails and sleepers?
If only a few kilometers of track were missing, the First Army would be able to quickly repair the Zhengtai Road and restore traffic.

However, it is not possible to repair a railway that is more than 30 kilometers long in a short time. Although the First Army has some spare tracks, it definitely does not have more than 30 kilometers of spare tracks.

Moreover, although the Taiyuan Iron and Steel Plant was able to forge steel rails, the Tongpu Road was captured by the Eighth Route Army and the First Army lacked iron ore.

Railway transportation is the lifeline of the Japanese. Without railways, the First Army would have no logistical supplies.

Now that Datong has fallen, Beitongpu Road and Hepingsui Road are paralyzed, and only Zhengtai Road can provide blood transfusions for the First Army.

Shinozuka Yoshio took a deep breath and said coldly, "However, even if the Zhengtai Railway is open to traffic, the Eighth Route Army can quickly occupy it. Now, the most important thing for my First Army is how to resist the encroachment and attacks of the Eighth Route Army."

Yamamoto Ikki and Mutaguchi Ren'ya looked extremely solemn.

Without the main force of the North China Front Army, the two main forces of the Eighth Route Army in northwest Shanxi and southeast Shanxi could launch an attack on Taiyuan at any time and attack from both sides.

Moreover, the Eighth Route Army has the strength to defeat the First Army.

"General, I have an idea."

In the solemn, pin-drop atmosphere, Yamamoto Ikki's eyes flickered, and he suddenly spoke. (End of this chapter)
