Anti-Japanese War: I have unlimited assistance

Chapter 76: How Special Forces Soldiers Are Trained

Send a brigade and a cavalry regiment to pursue?

Although I really want to kill this entire army and chop off their heads without leaving a single one alive.

Their commander, Fumisaburo Kawagishi, even wanted to pull out their tendons and skin and torture them to death.

but!

Their main combat mission at the moment is to capture Yangquan, advance westward along the Zhengtai Road, join forces with the Japanese troops in northern Shanxi, and capture Taiyuan.

Separating an infantry brigade and a cavalry regiment to pursue the enemy will inevitably greatly affect the subsequent combat plan.

After all, Kawagishi Fumisaburo was the Lieutenant General and Commander of the Japanese Army's Type A Division. After weighing the pros and cons, he quickly regained his composure.

"Check it for me. I want to know the unit's number and its commander."

Kawaishi Bunzaburo's face was gloomy and his tone was cold and stern:

"After we capture Taiyuan, we will turn back and destroy this enemy."

A field artillery battalion was completely wiped out by the Chinese army under the noses of tens of thousands of locust soldiers, and he had no way to deal with this Chinese army. The other side escaped successfully and was basically shitting on his head.

This was unbearable for Fumisaburo Kawagishi, who prided himself on being invincible.

This attack tonight will definitely become a stain on his military career if the Chinese troops are not eliminated.

The loss of a field artillery battalion was nothing. The most important thing was that Fumisaburo Kawagishi felt humiliated.

but.

Kawagishi Fumisaburo felt better when he thought about how Itagaki Seishirō was publicly mocked by a small regimental commander of the Chinese army through the invention of the coded telegram.

Next time I see Itagaki, I will definitely make fun of him first.

Eighth Route Army Transport Squad Leader...

Thinking of this title, Kawaishi Fumisaburo's mood inexplicably became better, and he even wanted to laugh.

"Hi."

Chief of Staff Colonel Hisazo Kitamura lowered his head and was about to turn and leave.

"and many more."

Kawagishi Fumisaburo called out to him:
"After dawn tomorrow, order reconnaissance planes to take off and search for the whereabouts of this unit. Once they are found, dispatch aviation units to bomb them."

Although he did not plan to send infantry and cavalry to pursue, Kawagishi Fumisaburo did not intend to let the Shinichi Regiment go.

Kimura Hisashi: "Hi."

Then Kawaishi Fumisaburo looked at the watch on his hand, his tone still cold:

"The bombardment is almost over. Order the artillery to cease firing and the infantry to attack immediately. Capture Yangquan within today. Cut off the heads of all Chinese soldiers in the city and hang them on the city walls as a warning."

"This is what happens when you go against the Empire."

Kimura Jiuzou sneered: "Hi."

……

Li Yunlong led the soldiers to launch a surprise attack on the Japanese artillery battalion. After getting rid of the Japanese, they marched quickly towards the meeting point.

Early the next morning, Li Yunlong led the officers and soldiers of the New 1st Regiment to Hujiazhuang.

Although the troops suffered some casualties in the surprise attack on the Japanese field artillery positions last night.

But compared with the Japanese soldiers killed and the Japanese field artillery blown up, the New 1st Regiment made a profit and all the officers and soldiers were in high spirits.

Especially those surrendered Kuomintang prisoners of war, now soldiers of the New 1st Regiment, all of them couldn't help but curl up the corners of their mouths.

Three consecutive great victories made them more determined to follow the Eighth Route Army and Li Yunlong to kill the devils.

But to kill the devils.

"Each battalion should immediately find a village or forest to hide and rest, and eat something. The Japanese are likely to send planes to look for us today."

Li Yunlong called together all the battalion commanders and company commanders and held a brief meeting.

After a night of forced marches and surprise attacks, the soldiers were a little tired.

However... the battle-hardened Li Yunlong was quite vigilant. Although the New 1st Regiment had never been defeated by the Japanese, Li Yunlong had never underestimated the Japanese. In such a short period of time, the Japanese defeated hundreds of thousands of national troops and killed all the way from Tianjin to Shanxi Province. How could they be so easy to deal with?

This vigilance allowed him to serve in the army for more than ten years, fight more than a hundred battles of varying sizes, and still be alive and well today.

There were many cases where, because of a short-term victory, the Japanese were thought to be nothing special, and they relaxed their vigilance, resulting in surprise attacks by the Japanese and heavy losses.

"Yes."

After the battalion commanders responded, they each led their troops to find a hidden location.

"Wei Qiang, you will lead the special forces company to send the wounded to the brigade's field hospital. The soldiers of the 772nd Regiment will lead you. Be careful to stay hidden along the way."

Afterwards, Li Yunlong gave an order to the special forces company commander Wei Qiang, saying that the brigade's field hospital was not far away and the seriously injured soldiers needed urgent treatment.

"Yes." After receiving the order, Wei Qiang saluted and turned to leave.

Then, Li Yunlong and Zhong Zhicheng, led by the guard platoon leader of the 772nd Regiment, walked into Hujiazhuang.

Cheng Shifa, the commander of the 772nd Regiment, who had received the news in advance, went to the village entrance to greet them.

Cheng Shifa was both envious and happy about the New 1st Regiment's battle record and its luxurious equipment.

What I envy is that Li Yunlong actually got the favor of a rich man. Why didn’t I encounter such a good thing?

Why do all the good things belong to Li Yunlong?

The good news was that the New 1st Regiment won several battles, eliminated many Japanese invaders, and made a fortune.

After Li Yunlong made a fortune, he would definitely hand it over to the brigade headquarters. In order to enhance the combat effectiveness of the troops, the brigade commander would definitely allocate some weapons and ammunition to the 771st and 772nd Regiments.

By then, the 772nd Regiment will also be able to make a small fortune.

After the two men met and exchanged a few words, Cheng Shifa said that the brigade commander had given an order for Li Yunlong to lead the New 1st Regiment to rest in the Hujiazhuang area first, which was relatively safe, and then go to the brigade headquarters in the afternoon.

The 772nd Regiment was responsible for guarding, and the New st Regiment was responsible for resting.

After settling the troops, Li Yunlong ate some breakfast and lay down on the bed to rest.

Although he was very tired at this time, Li Yunlong still forced himself to take out the telegram sent by Boss Lin last time and read it.

Reviewed the new words I learned.

After all, he is the head of a regiment, in charge of 1000 people. He has been marching and fighting continuously at high intensity these days, and has almost no time to rest.

However, in order to ensure that the soldiers had enough guns and ammunition, Li Yunlong could only squeeze out a little time every day to study cultural knowledge.

After reviewing the few new words he had learned, Li Yunlong took out the military textbook that Lin Dakuan gave him when they last met - "How Special Forces Soldiers Are Trained".

At present, special operations are an emerging military discipline in the field of warfare throughout the world, and Li Yunlong has no idea what a special forces soldier is.

Based on the literal meaning, Li Yunlong believes that special forces are soldiers with special qualities.

Every soldier in the New 1st Regiment is a brave man and none of them is a coward. By this calculation, all the soldiers in the New 1st Regiment are special forces.

Li Yunlong began to flip through the book. The first page was the preface, but there were some words that Li Yunlong did not recognize, so he could only read it roughly.

The point is that during World War I, special operations were not taken seriously by the military. By the 30s, however, military academies in major military powers had begun to see a surge of interest in special operations. Their rationale was: while acknowledging that great men can make history, we must also not discount the possibility of small individuals making history.
