Chapter 60 Mental Attack!

Defeated the Bantian Regiment, attacked the Daixian Airport, and won a great victory at Wangdongbao.

Li Yunlong made three great achievements in succession.

The headquarters wanted to promote Li Yunlong to brigade commander, but not the commander of the main brigade, but the commander of a newly formed brigade with 2 to 3 core regiments under its jurisdiction.

With Li Yunlong's current qualifications, he is not qualified to be the commander of the main brigade.

At this moment, the Sino-Japanese War has broken out in full swing, the Battle of Shanghai is in full swing, and the Japanese offensive on the Pinghan Line is extremely fierce.

In addition to the Xinkou battlefield, the Japanese army in North China also dispatched its main force, led by the 20th Division, to attack Niangzi Pass along the Zhengtai Road.

The overall situation of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression is not optimistic. The current situation is that only those who are capable can get the job, and whoever wins the battle will be promoted.

For example, the 115th Division Independent Regiment successively recaptured seven county towns on the Ping-Sui Road. In just a few months, it grew to more than 7 people. The 7000th Division Independent Regiment was then expanded into the 115st Independent Division, which was suddenly in a mess and much more powerful than Li Yunlong's New 1st Regiment.

In the past, Li Yunlong might have really become a brigade commander.

After all, according to the previous rules, if he became the brigade commander, he would definitely cause trouble.

Who knows, one day the brigade commander’s hat might be taken off.

But now he has an agreement with Boss Lin that he can only cooperate with him in the position of team leader, no higher or lower.

After explaining this situation to the head of headquarters, the head of headquarters did not say much. He only told Li Yunlong to build a good relationship with Boss Lin and to keep it confidential.

However, from now on, Li Yunlong's New 1st Regiment would no longer be treated as a basic regiment in the Eighth Route Army, but as a main force regiment.

After the New 1st Regiment became the main force, superiors would give priority to it whether it was issuing weapons and ammunition or carrying out combat missions.

Li Yunlong can handle weapons and ammunition on his own and also provide support to his superiors.

However, when it comes to combat missions, superiors used to give priority to the main regiment, but now they can also give priority to the new regiment.

This made Li Yunlong feel very nice.

However, Li Yunlong took the opportunity to ask the head of the headquarters for a radio operator to communicate with his superiors and Boss Lin.

Always talking on the radio makes it easy for the Japanese radio operators to monitor you.

Radio operators and telegraph machines are precious in the Eighth Route Army, and only combat units above the main brigade level are equipped with them.

Li Yunlong got a radio station himself, and had just made several great achievements. Even YA called to commend him, so the head of the headquarters assigned a radio operator to the new regiment.

The radio operator's name was Zhang Zhilian. At only 22 years old, he was already a veteran.

After joining the army, Zhang Zhilian served as a serviceman and radio operator in the communications battalion of the Red Fourth Front Army headquarters, and later served as a radio operator at the radio station of the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army.

In July 1937, in order to save North China from crisis, the Eighth Route Army crossed the Yellow River to fight the Japanese invaders. Zhang Zhilian resolutely joined the 7th Division and joined the Chinese nation's fight against the Japanese invaders.

Every time Zhang Zhilian sent or received a telegram or delivered a combat order, the scene of his comrades on the front line fighting bravely came to his mind.

But this time, sitting in front of the radio, Zhang Zhilian looked at the contents of the telegram in front of him and fell into deep thought.

Captain Li is really a man of many tricks, always coming up with new tricks that are better than other captains, but I like...

Thinking of this, Zhang Zhilian took out a miniature radio. This radio was much smaller than the ones at the headquarters and division headquarters. It was very light and easy to carry. The craftsmanship was obviously from a top foreign military factory. At present, such an advanced radio could not be produced in China.

Immediately, Zhang Zhilian put on headphones, turned on the miniature radio, and began to invent a coded telegram based on the content of the telegram, and a ticking sound began to sound.

……

Japanese Army Headquarters on the Xinkou Front

Itagaki Seishirō sat on a stool, looking at the intelligence in his hand with a gloomy look.

This intelligence was exactly the file on Li Yunlong, but it was only a thin page:

Name: Li Yunlong
Nationality: Chinese

Nationality: Han

Age: Unknown Birthplace: Dabie Mountains, bordering Hubei and Henan provinces, China (From Hubei? Henan? Unknown)
Resume: In 1927, he participated in the Huangma Uprising organized by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), and later joined the CCP's Workers' and Peasants' Red Army. (His previous positions are unknown.) It is reported that Li participated in the strategic retreat known as the Long March, and was a senior officer in the CCP army, with numerous military achievements.

Political views: Left-leaning, but not radical, lacks theory and interest in politics.

Education: Low. No military training. No information on what kind of education he received.

Specialties: Extensive combat experience and exceptionally stable psychological balance during combat, suggesting prior military service. Proficient in marksmanship and the use of various small arms, capable of achieving a first-round hit with a pistol using both hands simultaneously. Training in combat and swordsmanship, particularly in Chinese martial arts, is unknown.

There was nothing more below, which made Itagaki Seishirō extremely dissatisfied.

Although the Japanese casualties in the Battle of Wangdongbao were not very high compared to those on the front battlefield.

However, this battle resulted in the loss of hundreds of tons of combat supplies stored by the Japanese army in Daixian County, which almost directly affected the outcome of the entire Xinkou Campaign.

This made Itagaki Seishirō furious and he flew into a rage.

Itagaki cursed at the intelligence officer: "Baka! The Locust Army has a first-rate intelligence system, so how come we only have fragmented information on this person?"

After learning that the person who killed the regiment commander Sakata and the commander of the Wangdongbao ambush was the same person, Itagaki immediately ordered an investigation into Li Yunlong and requested all his information.

"General."

The intelligence officer said bitterly:

"This individual has never served in the Chinese government's military and has no contact with any Chinese government agencies. Before the Imperial Holy War, he was an unknown figure within the Chinese Communist Army. According to regulations, the Imperial Intelligence Department only collects information on Chinese officers at the rank of Major General or above."

This information about Li Yunlong was obtained by the Japanese army from the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army.

If there had not been a spy planted in the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army Headquarters, it would have been difficult to obtain even this little information about Li Yunlong.

"idiot!"

Itagaki Seishirō cursed angrily and closed the file. If this was the case, it meant that it was not easy for the intelligence department to get this telegram in such a short time.

Just then, the communications staff officer walked in quickly with a telegram in his hand, looking at Itagaki Seishirō, as if he wanted to say something but stopped.

"Kobayashi-kun, what happened?" Itagaki Seishirō asked in a deep voice.

Next to Itagaki stood the commander of the 2nd Independent Mixed Brigade, Kanji Tsuneoka, the commander of the 21st Brigade, Toshiji Miura, as well as the combat staff and other Japanese officers.

Everyone's eyes turned to the communications staff officer, Major Kobayashi Fangzhi.

"General."

Major Kobayashi looked at the telegram in his hand and finally mustered up the courage to report:
"The communications team just received a clear-coded telegram from Li Yunlong, commander of the New 1st Regiment of the Eighth Route Army. It's about you, General."

"What?" Itagaki Seishirō asked curiously in a deep voice, "What's it about? Read it out."

"Hi!" Major Kobayashi gritted his teeth and read, "Commander Li Yunlong of the New 1st Regiment of the Eighth Route Army thanks Lieutenant General Itagaki Seishirō, the transport captain of the Eighth Route Army, for traveling thousands of miles across the ocean to deliver weapons and ammunition to the Eighth Route Army."

As soon as he finished speaking, Kobayashi heard Itagaki's voice suddenly rise an octave to "Baka".

Swish! The sound of a blade being unsheathed rang out again in my ears. Two flashes of cold light passed by, and the newly replaced Eight Immortals Table and the battle map on the table were both cut into three pieces.

"Li Yunlong!" Itagaki Seishirō's face turned pale and he gritted his teeth. Although this wave of mental attack increased his swordsmanship proficiency by +2, he felt very uncomfortable and felt like ants were crawling all over his body.

He vowed that one day he would chop off Li Yunlong's head and make it into a specimen to redeem the shame.

"Baga, who told you to bring this telegram in?"

Major General Toshiji Miura stepped forward quickly, slapped Kobayashi in the face, and then slapped him left and right.

Fortunately, although Kobayashi was a communications staff officer, he was also a combat soldier before and had a strong physique. He did not move at all after being slapped three times, and even let out a loud "hi".

"idiot…"

Seeing that Itagaki Seishirō's face was still gloomy, Miura Toshiji kicked Kobayashi again and kicked him directly away.
