Anti-Japanese War: Li Yunlong dared to attack Taiyuan

After looking at each other, he stood up and bent down and said, "Ha Yi, let's get ready now."

Chapter 343: Li Yunlong is still full of tricks

"Report, the intelligence department has deciphered the Japanese telegram. The Japanese are mobilizing a large number of aircraft and preparing to bomb Taiyuan!"

When Li Yunlong was checking equipment in the factory, a communications soldier hurriedly found Li Yunlong and anxiously delivered a telegram to him.

Li Yunlong had also heard about the intelligence department deciphering the Japanese telegrams. It was said that it was because they captured Matsui Ishigeng, and based on Matsui Ishigeng and some other words such as Datong, they successfully deciphered the Japanese code book.

"The Japs are going to bomb Taiyuan!"

After reading the telegram, Li Yunlong thought for a moment and said, "Send a telegram to headquarters to inquire about the situation at each of the Japanese airports."

"Yes!"

Soon Li Yunlong received some bad news. The Japanese had made unusual movements at the airports in Sijiucheng and Shimen, especially the frequency of the Japanese bombing of Mount Wutai began to decrease.

"The Japs are going to bomb Taiyuan!"

In a warehouse somewhere in Taiyuan, Li Yunlong gathered Zhao Gang, Xing Zhiguo and others and began to discuss countermeasures.

"How long will it take to move all the supplies in Taiyuan City?"

At this time, it was less than half a day since Li Yunlong occupied Taiyuan, and the Japanese were already preparing for the bombing, and many supplies had no time to be transported.

"It will take at least three days!"

“And it requires constant transportation.”

Xing Zhiguo thought for a moment and gave a reply.

Then he pointed to the map from Taiyuan to the base and said, "There's still more than 30 kilometers from Taiyuan to the mountain. There's no cover and we're completely exposed to the enemy planes. If the enemy planes come, the team carrying supplies will have no way to hide."

"What if we only move it at night?"

"That will take at least six days, or even longer. The roads are very difficult to travel at night. Now we have to move the supplies to a location on the edge of the base, and then mobilize the local militia to move them together. Movement is inconvenient at night, so the speed will be even slower."

Zhao Gang thought for a moment and said, "Then we should prioritize moving the important supplies, the factory equipment, weapons and ammunition, and finally the food. We should also distribute the food in Taiyuan City to the people. It's better than being bombed by the Japanese."

Li Yunlong nodded and said, "One way is to mobilize the people in Taiyuan City. Immediately inform the people of Taiyuan that the Japanese are coming to bomb Taiyuan. Let them leave the city for refuge. Those who are willing to follow us back to the base can return to the base."

"If anyone is unwilling to return to the base to help us carry supplies, we will give them food and ask them to leave through the north gate and avoid the south and east gates."

"All those captured puppet troops and the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army were sent to carry supplies. Some tried to escape, or refused to carry supplies, and were sneaky and cunning!"

Li Yunlong narrowed his eyes and said, "Shoot him on the spot!"

In this situation, Li Yunlong can no longer care about anything else. Anyone who causes trouble must be dealt with severely, otherwise this group of people will definitely cause trouble, and killing some of them will make them behave themselves.

"It's still not enough!"

Xing Zhiguo shook his head while smoking a cigarette. There was still a problem. There were too many supplies. Even if the brother troops had rushed over, there were too many supplies and there was no time to transport them.

"The city gate is so small that sometimes we have to queue up to transport large equipment out of the city!"

Staff Officer Xie also raised another question while smoking.

Taiyuan City is much larger than Ping'an County.

But even such large equipment will take a lot of time to be transported out of the city.

There are only so many roads leading out of the city. Once the city gate is blocked, you either have to take a detour or queue.

"Then blow it up. We won't defend Taiyuan City. Blow up the city wall. Then we can counterattack and take Taiyuan!"

Hearing Li Yunlong's words, Zhao Gang nodded. Old Xing thought for a moment and said, "That would require a lot of explosives."

"I can't worry about that anymore. Let's blow it up first and get the supplies out first."

But even so, when the Japanese bombers arrived, Taiyuan could not transport much supplies.

The most important thing is that Taiyuan City is so small that factories, warehouses and other areas are concentrated together. If a bomb drops, the supplies in a warehouse may be gone.

"Report, telegram from the hospital, the devil prince has woken up."

Just as Li Yunlong was thinking about countermeasures, the words of a communications soldier suddenly interrupted Li Yunlong's thoughts.

"The prince is awake now. Let's send him back to our base and drop him off in the cabin..."

Before Li Yunlong could finish his words, he suddenly stood up, then smiled and said, "Damn it, why didn't I think of that!"

After finishing speaking, Li Yunlong paced back and forth and said, "Quick, have the communicator send a clear message immediately and tell the devils that their so-called "prince" is in our hands. Let their planes bomb us if they want!"

"Also, tell the Japanese that their Matsui Ishige is also in Taiyuan. If he is killed by them, we will not be responsible!"

Zhao Gang understood what Li Yunlong meant, thought for a moment and said, "Will the Japs be afraid to use their weapons?"

"We'll try our best to save the situation. We'll just have to delay it as long as possible!"

After finishing speaking, Li Yunlong took a few more steps and said, "Also, gather up the ordinary Japanese soldiers captured in Taiyuan City, and then find white cloth and ink, and have them write in Japanese language, 'The prince is here, come and blow him up!'"

"Remember, the font must be large enough for the Japanese planes to see clearly from the air. Then, give these words to every transport team. When the Japanese planes appear, immediately display these words. I wonder if the Japanese dare to bomb them!"

After listening to Li Yunlong's plan, Zhao Gang and others looked at each other.

Their eyes were filled with shock. Obviously, they did not expect Li Yunlong to come up with such a clever idea.

"Old Li, is this possible?"

"I don't know either. I'm just trying desperate measures to see what this damn prince of the devils is like in the devil's army. Let's see if the devils are willing to let him die!"

"Yes!"

Soon, a group of Japanese soldiers captured in Taiyuan City were gathered together and arranged one by one on an open space. On pieces of white cloth were written: "The prince is here, blow him up." Each word was about two meters high and was deliberately bold and black.

Li Yunlong also specially asked someone to take out the written banner and ran to a place more than 200 meters outside Taiyuan City. Li Yunlong looked at it with his naked eyes and could clearly see the words written on it.

Considering that the eyesight of ordinary pilots is better than that of ordinary people, the Japanese pilots should be able to see these words at an altitude of two or three hundred meters.

As for the high-altitude bombers, Li Yunlong had no way to deal with them. When those high-altitude bombers did not lower their altitude, Taiyuan City looked like a small square.

Li Yunlong's plain text telegram spread very quickly.

The first person to receive the news was Commander Yan. After seeing the telegram, he wanted to smash the radio station directly. If it wasn't Li Yunlong who captured the Japanese prince alive, it would be Commander Yan.

If he could capture the Japanese prince, he would be able to take the initiative when negotiating with the Japanese and sign fewer treaties. However, his plans were ruined by that bastard Li Yunlong. Now Commander Yan wishes he could skin Li Yunlong alive.

Chapter 344 Okamura Neiji's Worries

North China Expeditionary Army Headquarters.

Ningji Okamura put down the phone. He had just communicated with the Kwantung Army again and confirmed when the Kwantung Army bombers would arrive. After receiving a satisfactory answer, a smile appeared on his face.

In fact, turning Taiyuan into a ruin was only the first step in Ningji Okamura's plan.

The second step is to cede Taiyuan to the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army, and at the same time cede Jin Province to Shancheng.

The defeat in Zhongtiao Mountain put a lot of pressure on Shancheng. If the Japanese were willing to give up the Zhongtiao Mountain area and allow Shancheng’s troops to enter Zhongtiao Mountain, Shancheng would definitely agree.

By the time the Japanese troops are gone, the situation in Shanxi Province will become a three-way balance of power between the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army, the Shancheng regular troops and the Eighth Route Army.

Ningji Okamura was very familiar with the Chinese allusion of "Two Peaches Killing Three Warriors", and he believed that after the Empire withdrew its troops from Taiyuan, the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army would definitely launch an attack on the Eighth Route Army.

After all, a large part of Shanxi Province is now occupied by the Eighth Route Army. His student has a typical warlord mentality and will definitely find a way to take back these lands. Without external pressure and with his secret support, he will definitely not be able to resist taking action.

Ningji Okamura knew his students very well, including Officer He, who held an important position in the mountain city.

All it takes is a little provocation, and the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army and the Eighth Route Army might go to war.

When the strength of both sides is almost exhausted, the imperial army will occupy Jin Province and even take the opportunity to cross the Yellow River and enter Shaanxi Province directly.

Just as Ningji Okamura was constantly perfecting his plan, a communications soldier walked into Ningji Okamura's office.

"Commander, this is a clear message from the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Independent Column of the Eighth Route Army."

"Li Yunlong's troops?"

"Hayi!"

Ningji Okamura was a little curious about what Li Yunlong would say in the plain text telegram, to show off that he had recaptured Taiyuan?

However, after reading the contents of the telegram, Ningji Okamura's face turned ugly.

Li Yunlong did show off that he had captured Taiyuan, and he also added some other things.

"Baga, this bastard!"

Looking at the telegram saying that Prince Asaka Naruhiko is in my hands and if you have the guts, send a plane to kill him, Okamura Neiji's expression was somewhat distorted.

This telegram made Ningji Okamura a little hesitant.

If Li Yunlong had not sent this telegram, Okamura Neiji would have sent bombers to bomb Taigen, and Prince Higashikuni Naruhiko would have been accidentally killed. Okamura Neiji could have made up various excuses such as not paying attention and being careless.

But now that Li Yunlong has clearly announced the news, the whole of China will soon know about it, the Special High Technology Department will know about it, all the Japanese troops will know about it, the headquarters will soon know about it, and finally the House of Nobles will know about it.

The headquarters knew that Okamura Neiji was not afraid, so everyone turned a blind eye. Even if the navy knew about it, it didn't matter. At most, the navy would mock the army for killing the army general themselves.

But the House of Peers is different. As the name suggests, it is a parliament composed of the Japanese imperial family, the nobility, and the imperially appointed members. The imperial family and the nobility are basically lifelong members, which means they were born into aristocrats, and the imperially appointed members are appointed by the Japanese emperor himself.

These people are an important means for the Japanese to consolidate their power. Most of them are loyal to the Japanese and the royal family. They have great power, even higher than the House of Representatives.

If Prince Higashikuni Naruhiko died in the bombing now, Ningji Okamura would definitely offend the people in the House of Peers.

It is certain that you will be impeached, and this impeachment will definitely pass. Even if someone wants to re-employ you in the future, it will not pass. This group of people in the House of Lords protect the interests of the royal family and the nobles. If you let a prince die, this group of people will never let you take the throne again.

Moreover, the House of Lords also holds a core power, which is the Japanese financial budget.

Although the House of Representatives has the right to discuss the budget first, once the House of Representatives passes the budget, the House of Lords can reject or even deny it. The House of Lords is basically equivalent to the upper house of the Japanese House of Representatives. This upper house is not like the upper house of the United States, but a real upper-level parliament.

If something is passed by the House of Representatives but not by the House of Lords, it basically means that there is no way to implement it.

Konoe Fumaku has the right to dissolve the House of Representatives, and the House of Representatives can also impeach Konoe Fumaku, but the House of Lords does not require such a complicated process. It can impeach Konoe Fumaku and dissolve the House of Representatives.

Therefore, within the Japanese army, even the Kwantung Army did not dare to offend the people of the House of Peers easily.
