Anti-Japanese War: Li Yunlong dared to attack Taiyuan

However, Li Yunlong knew very well that even at the most dangerous moment, when Moscow was already at the gates of the city, the Soviet Union did not mobilize its troops from the Far East. The Soviet Union always remained highly vigilant against the Japanese.

“That’s a lot of equipment!”

"Mobilize all the surrounding brother troops and the masses. Taiyuan is different from Datong. In Datong, we are isolated and helpless, and can only take the risky route of transporting troops by train. But in Taiyuan, the last thing we lack is manpower."

"And we can also send some of the supplies to the vicinity of Yangquan by train!"

At this point, Li Yunlong thought for a moment and said, "Give Ding Wei an order to lead the New Second Regiment and the Rocket Artillery Battalion to capture Jinzhong. There is only one battalion stationed in Jinzhong. We will take care of them and completely drive the Japanese forces out of the Jinzhong Basin."

"Well, I agree!"

Zhao Gang nodded and agreed to Li Yunlong's proposal.

Li Yunlong rubbed his hands and asked, "Have the division commander and others arrived?"

"Already here."

"I have something to report to the division commander later. If we succeed, not only will the crisis in Wutai Mountain be resolved, but the Kwantung Army will also have to go back to the four eastern provinces, and we can also defend Taiyuan. After the New Year, we will go to the four eastern provinces to kill those bastards of the Kwantung Army!"

Zhao Gang knew Li Yunlong's plan to advance into the four northeastern provinces after returning from studying at the rear headquarters next year. Although he felt that the time was not yet ripe, he did not object.

"Report, Commander, we've made a fortune!"

Just when Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang were discussing some things, Liang Zhengping rushed into the command center with an excited look on his face.

……

……

……

Here comes the fourth update. The reason why I can update the fourth time is because I failed today. Well, it was a failure as expected. I have dated many people in the past few years. Although I have some problems myself, some of the flaws of a cultured person, but, I really want to write a book called My Weird Blind Date Partners.

Hey, I’ll continue my blind date tomorrow, and I’m currently one update behind.

Chapter 333: One Ton of Gold

"Hey, Xiao Liang, didn't you lead the troops to wipe out the Japanese military police? Did you complete the mission? What were the casualties of the troops?"

Looking at Liang Zhengping entering the temporary command center, Li Yunlong asked with a smile.

Liang Zhengping smiled and said, "Six soldiers were slightly injured. The Japanese are really good with their guns. We were occupying the high ground, and it was a surprise attack. Even in that situation, they were still able to hit our soldiers. But please rest assured, Commander. The Japanese Type 38 rifles have strong penetrating power, and the injured soldiers are not seriously injured."

After he finished speaking, Liang Zhengping paused and said, "Commander, the Japanese military police's thirty large trucks are carrying a lot of good stuff."

As he spoke, he took out a list: "There are 600,000 rounds of bullets and about a ton of small yellow croakers."

"How many?"

This time it was Li Yunlong's turn to be surprised. When Zhang Dabiao talked about getting rich before, Li Yunlong didn't feel anything. After all, Li Yunlong had seized more weapons and ammunition before. But when he heard about a ton of small yellow croaker, Li Yunlong became a little uneasy.

He jumped up from his stool. That was a ton of small yellow croakers. How many weapons and food could he buy with it?

"About a ton. The exact weight hasn't been measured yet, but it should be quite a bit. It's already been sent back to headquarters."

Li Yunlong swallowed and trotted outside. A group of soldiers were carrying boxes with great effort. After Li Yunlong opened one of the boxes, he saw small yellow croakers neatly arranged inside.

"Oh my goodness, a ton of gold! I'm going to be rich!"

Li Yunlong looked at these boxes, and the corners of his mouth almost extended to his ears. This was really an unexpected windfall.

Li Yunlong was still worried about money yesterday, because large-scale grain collection and large-scale purchase of weapons and ammunition both require a lot of funds. Unexpectedly, he had just entered Taiyuan and earned a ton of small yellow croaker.

Although Li Yunlong earned millions of dollars from Commander He and the Kuomintang generals, only 30% of it belonged to Li Yunlong, and the rest was all handed over.

Thirty percent went to the Eighth Route Army headquarters, thirty percent was left to Mr. Yamashiro, and the remaining ten percent was given to the brigade commander.

Li Yunlong only received about two million yuan (when he told the brigade commander, he had not yet taken into account the money that Commander He had spent on redeeming the soldiers and buying Shinozuka Kazuo's samurai sword).

Of the two million oceans, Li Yunlong will use one million to purchase grain, and the remaining one million to buy various medicines and other scarce supplies.

Li Yunlong even felt that one million dollars worth of food was not enough, and he was planning to find a way to purchase more, so Li Yunlong was also short of money now.

This ton of gold solved Li Yunlong's urgent need.

Just as Li Yunlong was excitedly counting the small yellow croakers, Yang Xingru was brought to Li Yunlong's temporary command center by Yu Zhigan.

At this time, Yang Xingru was considering some countermeasures. After all, he spent a ton of gold to buy Taiyuan. Before his troops entered the city, it was occupied by Li Yunlong. He could not accept it, and Commander Yan definitely could not accept it either.

However, as soon as I entered the door, I saw Li Yunlong holding two small yellow croakers and checking whether they were real or not, with an indescribable smile on his face.

Looking at these boxes more carefully, Yang Xingru felt that they looked familiar. Weren't they the boxes that he had given to the Japanese not long ago?

Did this money fall into Li Yunlong's hands?

"General Li, thank you, thank you, thank you General Li for taking back the gold that was stolen from our Jinsui Army by the Japanese."

After thinking about it for a moment, Yang Xingru decided to take the initiative.

"The Jinsui Army's gold?"

Li Yunlong looked at Yang Xingru in surprise.

"Yes, this is the gold of our Shanxi-Suiyuan Army. There are also the emblems of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army on these boxes."

Yang Xingru pointed to the words on the box, and Li Yunlong looked at it carefully: "Taiyuan Pacification Office."

Li Yunlong looked at Yang Xingru in surprise: "General Yang, why did you carve the name of your Jinsui Army on my box?"

"you!"

Yang Xingru was choked by Li Yunlong's words and almost spit out saliva, which once again refreshed his understanding of Li Yunlong.

"What do you mean by 'I'? General Yang, this was captured by our Eighth Route Army from the Japanese military police. It's our Eighth Route Army's spoils of war."

Li Yunlong did not say it out loud. Li Yunlong and Yang Xingru knew what the gold was.

But Li Yunlong didn't expect that Yang Xingru would be so shameless as to ask him for gold.

"Okay, I know about your little trouble with the Japanese. It's just a Taiyuan, right? So you send a telegram to Commander Yan and ask him if he's willing to pay to buy Taiyuan. If he is willing to buy it, I'm willing to sell it to him, but the price..."

Li Yunlong looked at the gold in front of him and had to say that Commander Yan was really rich. He was driven to Kenanpo, but he could take out a ton of gold at will. How wealthy was his family?

"I need a radio."

Yang Xingru knew that the money would never be recovered, and she did not intend to continue arguing with Li Yunlong. The most important thing now was to report the news to Commander Yan and wait for his decision.

"Report, Commander, a large number of unidentified armed men have been spotted in the city. They have been surrounded in the northern part of the city. There are approximately 2,000 of them. Should we shoot them all?"

Just as Yang Xingru was about to send a telegram, Huang Zhiyong trotted into the command center and reported the situation to Li Yunlong.

"Unidentified armed personnel?"

Li Yunlong looked at Yang Xingru. Now in Taiyuan City, the Japanese were killed by him and the puppet army was under his control. Apart from the private armed guards of some wealthy families, the only ones left were the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army. The wealthy families could not afford to support an armed force of more than 2,000 people.

Yang Xingru, who was about to send a telegram, turned around and said, "Don't shoot! They're our own people. They're from the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army. We were planning to recapture Taiyuan, but General Li got there first."

"Jinsui Army?"

"Yes, soldiers from the 358th Regiment."

When Li Yunlong heard the name of the 358th Regiment, he couldn't help but feel a sense of familiarity. He slapped his head and remembered that this seemed to be Chu Yunfei's troops.

I haven't seen you for half a year, and Chu Yunfei still seems to be a colonel and a regiment commander, and I seem to be a lieutenant general in the national army now. Wow, I haven't seen Brother Yunfei for half a year, and he has become so lamentable?

"Huang Zhiyong!"

"To!"

"Shout to them and tell them to put down their weapons immediately, otherwise they will be shot on the spot!"

After finishing speaking, Li Yunlong looked at Yang Xingru and said, "General Yang, do you want to go with them and give them some advice? After all, the situation in Taiyuan City is complicated right now, and I have to be careful. What if I don't pay attention..."

Yang Xingru also understood what Li Yunlong meant and said through gritted teeth, "I'll go over right away. General Li, this is a misunderstanding, absolutely a misunderstanding!"

"I believe this is a misunderstanding. Huang Zhiyong, take General Yang with you. If these armed men don't lay down their weapons, shoot them on the spot!"

"Yes!"

Huang Zhiyong looked at Yang Xingru and said, "General Yang, please come in."

"Lead the way."

At this time, in an area north of Taiyuan City.

Chu Yunfei looked at the Eighth Route Army figures appearing on the surrounding streets and looked at the staff officer beside him in surprise: "Eighth Route Army? Why are the Eighth Route Army appearing in Taiyuan City?"

Chapter 334 Chu Yunfei: Laying down weapons is a disgrace to soldiers

"I don't know, but Commander, we're surrounded by the Eighth Route Army! We're surrounded by them!"

Fang Ligong was a little anxious at this time. In order to carry out this mission, the 358th Regiment took out all their assets.

Excluding the artillery battalion and the logistics troops, the combat troops of the three battalions totaled 2,300 people. All the soldiers of the three battalions entered the city and prepared to open the Taiyuan city gate tonight to welcome the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army into the city.

"Do you know which unit of the Eighth Route Army this is?"

"do not know!"

At this time, the number of Eighth Route Army troops surrounding the north of the city was increasing. From the beginning, there was only the first team, but now there are at least three teams.

There were Eighth Route Army soldiers on the roofs, on the roads, and in the windows.

Xizi, the temporary commander at the scene, started shouting through a loud speaker: "Listen up, everyone on the other side! Put down your weapons immediately, or I will kill you without mercy!"

"Taiyuan has been occupied by our Eighth Route Army. Stop your fearless resistance and lay down your weapons!"

Chu Yunfei was a little anxious at this time. He frowned and asked, "Can we contact General Yang?"

"I can't get in touch with you right now. No telegrams are being replied to and my phone calls are not working!"

Listening to Staff Officer Fang's words, Chu Yunfei paced back and forth, thinking about countermeasures. At this moment, Yang Xingru arrived at the scene in a three-wheeled motorcycle. After hearing Xizi's shouting, he shouted anxiously: "Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding. They are friendly forces, they are all friendly forces. We are the Jinsui Army coming to attack Taiyuan. Don't shoot, don't shoot."

Looking at Yang Xingru, Xizi frowned. At this time, Huang Zhigang also rushed over: "Captain Wang, the commander ordered General Yang to surrender these unidentified armed personnel. If they are unwilling to lay down their weapons, they will be shot immediately!"

The following sentences were said by Huang Zhiyong to Yang Xingru.

Yang Xing was very anxious at this time. The 358th Regiment was the ace among the aces of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army, the elite among the elite, and nothing could happen to it in Taiyuan City.

The money was robbed by Li Yunlong. If something happens to someone else, Commander Yan will definitely take it out on me when he returns.

"Captain Huang, Captain Wang, we're all brothers in arms. We don't need to lay down our weapons, right? Guns are a soldier's lifeblood. Wouldn't it be unreasonable to confiscate weapons from our brothers?"

Yang Xingru still wanted to struggle. After all, it would not sound good if the news that a main force regiment was directly disarmed by the Eighth Route Army got out.
