Anti-Japanese War: Li Yunlong dared to attack Taiyuan

What's more, it's myself?

Now the life and death of a Japanese prince is at stake. The House of Peers will certainly not allow Prince Higashikuni Naruhiko to be killed in Taigen. If he really dies in Taigen due to the bombing, the army will be retaliated by the House of Peers.

"Baga, that idiot Nanata Ichiro actually abandoned the prince in Taiyuan!"

Li Yunlong clearly mentioned Matsui Ishigen in the telegram, but Okamura Ningji directly ignored Matsui Ishigen. If Li Yunlong used Matsui Ishigen to threaten him, he would order the planes to bomb Taiyuan indiscriminately, and it would be best if Matsui Ishigen was killed.

A captured Imperial Army general is not a good Imperial Army general. If he is alive, he is a disgrace to the army. If he dies, Ningji Okamura can hold a funeral for him.

But Prince Higashikuni Naruhiko is different. He is Tianhuang's uncle and a member of the House of Peers. He cannot die, or rather, he cannot die under his own orders.

"Report, Sijiucheng Airport, the first batch of bombers are ready and can take off and bomb Taiyuan at any time!"

A confidential secretary came in and reported the situation to Ningji Okamura.

"Notify them that they can take off, but tell all pilots to be vigilant during the bombing. Prince Higashikuni Naruhiko is in the hands of the Eighth Route Army. Instruct them to only bomb factories, warehouses, and Eighth Route Army trains transporting supplies."

"Hayi!"

After hearing this, the confidential secretary quickly sent the telegram to the airport. The pilots who had already climbed into the cockpit were called off the plane before takeoff. After being repeatedly instructed by the Japanese officer, they returned to the cockpit and took off in their bombers.

"Pay attention to His Royal Highness. I have never seen His Royal Highness, so how would I know what he looks like? Besides, how can I see clearly a person on the ground from the sky?"

The Japanese bomber pilot complained while flying the plane towards Taiyuan.

At this time in Taiyuan City.

Yang Xingru finally couldn't sit still anymore. She had been sitting there for more than two hours, not only had she not seen Li Yunlong, she hadn't even had a glass of water.

"Where on earth did Li Yunlong go?"

"General Yang, don't ask me. I don't know either. I have a lot of things I want to ask the commander to deal with."

After a staff officer was pulled over, he immediately started complaining as well.

"you!"

Yang Xingru remembered that he had just gone out with a bunch of things, then ran back after signing. Now he said that he didn't know where Li Yunlong was?

But looking at the other party's attitude, Yang Xingru knew that the other party would definitely not tell her, so she took a deep breath to calm herself down.

"Chu Yunfei, follow me and go straight to the military camp. I don't believe that Li Yunlong would dare not let us go!"

Chapter 345 Zhang Dabiao, are you not going to let him go?

In the prisoner-of-war camp.

"Everyone get up, everyone get up, get up quickly!"

After being called up, each puppet soldier looked around with some dissatisfaction, but when they saw the Eighth Route Army soldiers looking at them with kind eyes, they immediately lowered their heads.

"Master Jun, what are you asking us to do?"

"Don't worry, as long as you work hard, I won't kill you. Get up and work!"

"If you don't want to die, come and gather quickly!"

Zhang Dabiao brought his men to the puppet army prisoner-of-war camp, and the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army's people were also thrown into this prisoner-of-war camp. Now time was urgent, and there was no time to set up a separate prisoner-of-war camp for the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army.

Everyone is thrown together for easy management.

After hearing this, many puppet soldiers stood up and began to line up. When they saw that all the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army soldiers were sitting on the ground motionless, some of them couldn't help but feel curious.

"Brother, what unit are you from? How dare you be so bold? Hurry up and get up, or you will suffer the consequences later."

After hearing this, the soldiers of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army looked at the group of people wearing puppet army uniforms and said, "We are from the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army, and we are different from you traitors."

Hearing this, the puppet soldier was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said, "I was also a member of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army back then, there's no difference. Let's hurry up, the Eighth Route Army doesn't care whether we are from the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army or puppet troops!"

After the puppet soldier finished speaking, he quickly trotted to catch up with the team.

"Hurry up, hurry up!"

"I understand, sir. Right away, right away!"

A group of puppet soldiers gathered together while talking. They stood in a crooked line and could not stand straight. Some of them were whispering to each other.

"What are you doing sitting on the ground? Get up and gather!"

Zhang Dabiao saw a group of Shanxi-Suiyuan Army gathered together with no intention of getting up, so he rushed over with his men.

"Sir, we are the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army, not traitors!"

"Yes, we are from the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army. Why should we listen to you?"

Hearing this, Zhang Dabiao took out his pistol and fired two shots into the air: "Just because I have this, if you don't want to die, get up here! You're acting like a big shot in my territory?"

Seeing Zhang Dabiao firing, many soldiers of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army stood up reluctantly.

Zhang Dabiao glanced at everyone and said, "Listen up, everyone! Go carry the supplies for me. Those who work hard will get food and rewards. Those who don't work and cheat will also get food. I'll give them two peanuts as a reward!"

"Did you hear everything clearly?"

"Listen clearly."

A group of puppet soldiers answered weakly.

Seeing this, Zhang Dabiao glanced at all the puppet troops and the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army and said, "Everyone, listen up! Anyone found running around or escaping will be shot on the spot. Anyone found destroying supplies will be shot on the spot. Anyone found slacking off will be shot on the spot. Regardless of whether they are from the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army or the puppet army, regardless of whether they are officers or soldiers, anyone who fails to comply with the regulations will be shot on the spot!"

"Yes!"

All the soldiers of the first team answered in unison, pointing their guns at the puppet troops and the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army.

"Everyone, follow the main force and set off!"

After Zhang Dabiao finished speaking, he led his men out of the prisoner-of-war camp. Looking at the murderous Eighth Route Army, which did not seem fake, the puppet army and the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army all followed the first team out of the prisoner-of-war camp.

Even if some people were hoping for a lucky break, they didn't dare to be the first to step out at this time. They followed the team out of the prisoner-of-war camp and then entered a warehouse, which was full of food and other supplies.

The job of these prisoners of war was to transport food to trucks, various horse-drawn carriages, and donkey carts.

Another part was used to move large mechanical equipment. There were more than 8,000 prisoners in total, and only 500 to 600 people were needed to guard them, which could greatly improve efficiency.

"Captain Zhang, Captain Zhang, do you know where your commander is?"

Yang Xingru found Zhang Dabiao, panting, and saw Zhang Dabiao directing the prisoners to work. He asked while panting.

"I don't know. I guess he's checking the spoils at some factory. What's going on, General Yang?"

Zhang Dabiao and Yang Xingru are relatively familiar with each other. Zhang Dabiao is now the director of the Operations Department. He usually follows Li Yunlong to receive some important people. Every time Yang Xingru comes, Zhang Dabiao is there.

The two of them often communicated with each other. Compared with Li Yunlong, Wei Heshang, Yu Zhiqian and others, Zhang Dabiao spoke more politely, so Yang Xingru had a good impression of him.

"Regarding our soldiers of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army, we have already sent a telegram to Commander Yan. Commander Yan told us to hand over Taiyuan to you. We will withdraw and take those soldiers of our Shanxi-Suiyuan Army with us."

Listening to Yang Xingru's words, Zhang Dabiao couldn't help but feel a little contempt in his heart. If the commander were here, he would probably curse directly, "Give it to us?" He said Taiyuan was taken by the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army.

"This is what happened!"

Zhang Dabiao looked around and said, "Captain Yang, you've come at a really unfortunate time. I just took the prisoners out to work, and look here, there are captured prisoners and soldiers from your Shanxi-Suiyuan Army."

Hearing this, Yang Xingru's face turned ugly. Zhang Dabiao really didn't give her any face at all. He directly mixed up the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army and the puppet army. Are they all prisoners of war?

"There are too many people, and they are all scattered throughout the city carrying supplies. There is no time to gather your Jinsui Army."

Seeing Zhang Dabiao's sincere face, Yang Xingru did not suspect that Zhang Dabiao was deliberately trying to trip her up. She just said in a serious tone: "Captain Zhang, our Shanxi-Suiyuan Army is different from the puppet army, and they are not your prisoners of war. They just laid down their weapons because they don't want to have a conflict."

After hearing this, Zhang Dabiao immediately smiled and nodded vigorously, saying, "Yes, yes, yes, General Yang, don't be angry. Look at my broken mouth, but it's really hard to let them go now. I can't tell who is the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army and who is the puppet army, right?"

"Besides, if the puppet troops say they are also from the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army and want to escape, there will definitely be chaos and delays in work."

Listening to Zhang Dabiao's words, Yang Xingru finally understood that Zhang Dabiao was not going to let him go. His face darkened slightly and he said, "Captain Zhang, you are not going to let him go. Do you know that your actions are destroying cooperation?"

After hearing this, Zhang Dabiao took off his hat and rubbed his head. "Let them go, of course. They are all friendly troops. But we need to wait a little longer. General Yang, how about this? Wait until tonight. When you are done with your work, come find me and I will take them away directly. Do you think this is okay?"

Hearing this, Yang Xingru's expression became a little better: "Okay, I'll come over in the evening."

After Yang Xingru left, Zhang Dabiao spat.

"Captain, are we just going to let the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army go like this? They have over 2,000 laborers."

After hearing this, Zhang Dabiao took a look at his hat. His hat was indeed lost very frequently. If he let this group of laborers go and the commander did not allow him to go to the quartermaster's office to get his hat, how could he fight in the future?

"Who said they were released? We'll have the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army soldiers carry some heavy objects to the base. When Yang Xingru comes looking for them, we can just say that his men have gone to the base."

After hearing this, Huang Zhiyong couldn't help but give a thumbs up: "Captain, it has to be you."

"The commander has already said that we need to use our brains when it comes to fighting. Go ahead and make the arrangements, but keep a close eye on them along the way. Don't let them cause any trouble. If anyone disobeys the command!"

Zhang Dabiao's face darkened and he said, "Execute him on the spot!"

"Yes!"

An hour later, with the sound of a huge explosion, a huge gap was blown out in the east wall of Taiyuan City. After a group of soldiers cleaned up the rubble around the collapsed wall, people began to carry supplies from the gap one after another.

When the wreckage was almost cleared, more and more people chose to move supplies from the blown-up city walls, which greatly improved the efficiency of material transportation.

Chapter 346: Japanese bombers arrive at Taiyuan

As one city wall collapsed, the second wall, the third wall, and the Taiyuan wall in the north were all breached.

"Blow up the permanent fortifications outside Taiyuan City!"

Since Li Yunlong did not intend to occupy Taiyuan, he also did not intend to keep these defensive fortifications outside Taiyuan, so as to avoid them becoming a disaster in the future.

Li Yunlong remembered that when attacking Taiyuan in later generations, some of the more solid fortifications were blown up at the cost of a large number of soldiers' lives and explosives.

If we blow it up now, it will be easier to retake Taiyuan later.

It is extremely difficult to blow up these permanent fortifications from the outside, but it is relatively easy to blow them up from the inside. This also verifies the saying that if you want to destroy a solid fortress, you need to start from the inside. This is true for fortifications and the same applies to countries.

Many fools who set the pace in later generations, such as Sheepdog, Half a Million, etc., are remote breeding started by countries with ulterior motives, who want to destroy the stability of the country from within.

A bunch of idiots still firmly believe that when the enemy comes, they will have good wine and good meat. However, a century of humiliation has long told the Chinese people that without the protection of a strong country, ordinary people can only become fish at the mercy of others.

It is really ridiculous that there are still people who believe that the enemy will be kind to you and treat you as a human being.

"Report, Commander, the Japanese planes are coming!"

Just when Li Yunlong was busy blowing up Taiyuan's fortifications and city walls, the first batch of heavy bombs launched from Sijiu City had already appeared outside Taiyuan City.

Li Yunlong was at Taiyuan Airport at this time, looking for some useful things. After hearing the plane coming, he brought his men to the small hill where Kong Jie had destroyed the airport, and observed the distance with a telescope.

"Have all the troops, factories, and warehouses prepared for the response?"
