Anti-Japanese War: Li Yunlong dared to attack Taiyuan

Old Han listened to Li Yunlong's words and looked Li Yunlong up and down. He found that Li Yunlong had really changed. Li Yunlong after arriving at the army was completely different from Li Yunlong at the rear headquarters. It was the first time he saw such a confident Li Yunlong.

"Old Han, you'll understand after you fight a few more battles. With the same weapons and equipment, whether they're the Japanese or the Russians, they're only fit to kneel down and surrender in front of our soldiers!"

"You can't use weapons and equipment to bully us. I, Li Yunlong, will never do that!"

"Notify all troops. After cleaning up the battlefield, wait for my orders. I want to see how many treasures the Japanese have left for us in this mountain."

At this time, Yu Zhigan had already changed into military uniform and started to act separately with several captured Japanese prisoners.

In order to prevent the Japanese from lying, those who managed to survive were interrogated separately. After confirming that there was no problem with the entrances and exits they confessed, the advance troops changed into Japanese military uniforms, disguised themselves as defeated Japanese troops, and rushed towards the entrances and exits.

Yu Zhigan led the special operations battalion's troops, disguised as the Russian troops, and followed behind them towards the fortress.

The entrance to the fortress was not far from the battlefield, and after more than half an hour, they arrived at the entrance.

The Japanese prisoner pointed to a place that looked like a mound of earth and said, "It's right here."

As he spoke, he moved the camouflage on the ground away, revealing an iron door.

"Pull away!"

After hearing this, the Japanese prisoner took a deep breath, then pulled the chain on the iron gate hard to open the exit of the fortress.

And from the exit came a shout: "Who is it?"

The Japanese responsible for reinforcing the defense zone of the 71st Independent Mixed Regiment have arrived.

"I'm from the 71st Regiment!"

"Password!"

The Japanese prisoner looked at the fully armed Eighth Route Army soldiers, then at the entrance of the tunnel, and shouted, "Locust!"

"Wan Sheng!"

"Come down!"

The translator whispered this to the captain of the vanguard. After hearing it, the captain made a gesture and several soldiers bent over and entered the fortress entrance.

The entrance to the fortress is a passage, but there are defensive positions on both sides with gun muzzles exposed from inside. If someone enters the tunnel from here, they will immediately be shot by machine guns on both sides.

There was a light overhead, and I could see a straight passage ahead.

The passage becomes wider as you go forward, and there is a machine gun position in the far end of the passage, aimed at the entrance. Even if you throw a grenade from this distance, you won't be able to hit the machine gun position.

Several soldiers who walked down tried to remain calm and observed the situation at the entrance.

"You were attacked by the Mao Bear Army? Where is your commander?"

At this time, an iron door on the side of the passage opened, and a Japanese sergeant came out and asked with confusion.

"Baga, I'm asking you a question!"

Seeing that the soldier did not respond, the Japanese sergeant immediately scolded him loudly.

"Sergeant, we were attacked by the Russian troops. The regiment commander is retreating and should be here soon!" At this time, a company commander who could speak Japanese stood up and said.

"Yoshi, you guys go in and rest, we'll take care of this!"

"Hayi!"

Here are the third update, and I owe nine more. Someone asked about adding more updates. Let me think about it. Two great gods should add one more update, and one gift king should add five more updates. But don’t spend money. I will update more when I have time. I will update on the second or third day of the Chinese New Year if nothing unexpected happens. I will not visit relatives and will stay at home to write manuscripts.

Chapter 377: The Movement of the Kwantung Army

The person who just spoke was the platoon leader of the first platoon of the second company of the Special Operations Battalion. His original name was Aixinjueluo Qilin, but after joining the Eighth Route Army, he changed his name to Zhang Qilin. Li Yunlong often called him Zhang Qiling or "little brother." (Note 1)

He was originally a Manchu from the four eastern provinces. After the four eastern provinces were lost, he did not want to be ruled by the Japanese and fled to the south. After many twists and turns, he joined Li Yunlong's army with Milong and others.

Because of his bravery in combat, he was noticed by Yu Zhigan and transferred to the special operations battalion.

After Zhang Qilin entered the passage, he put one hand behind his back and kept making gestures. After seeing the gestures, his soldiers began to prepare silently.

"Report, observation post report, traces of the Mao Bear troops have been spotted outside, should we open fire?"

The fortress built by the Japanese was very complicated, with a total of three floors. The top floor was the combat floor, which was dotted with various observation posts, shooting holes, ventilation holes, and even some gun muzzles. These gun muzzles were used to deal with the armored forces of the Soviet Union. Some steep and dangerous positions even had heavy artillery of more than 100 mm.

These observation posts and firing ports are universal and can be used to observe the situation outside the fortress. Most of them are built in important locations on the mountain and can be used for observation and shooting.

When Li Yunlong's troops entered the mountains to search, the fortress had not yet been built, and at that time the mountains were covered with heavy snow. Observation posts and other places were blocked by snow, and neither side discovered each other.

Now the ground has begun to thaw gradually, and Li Yunlong's troops appeared in the mountains and were discovered by the Japanese observation post.

"Kill these bear troops!"

A Japanese lieutenant walked out of a room and began to arrange tasks.

At this time, Zhang Qilin was less than 30 meters away from the machine gun position facing the entrance. He saw a group of Japanese soldiers holding weapons walking towards some rooms and pulled out the safety of the grenade.

"Do it!"

Following Zhang Qilin's order, the soldiers who had entered the fortress disguised as Japanese soldiers quickly drew out their pistols and shot at the Japanese soldiers in front of them.

The pistols used by the special forces were all Browning pistols. Some of these pistols were captured from the 358th Regiment of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army, and some were captured from Japanese officers.

Only the special operations battalion in the entire army could be equipped with so many Browning pistols, and most of the rest, even the commanders, used the Nambu Type 14.

"boom!"

"boom!"

"boom!"

"boom!"

"..."

Sudden gunshots and explosions rang out in the passage, and the Japanese soldiers stationed there were killed before they could react.

"Find the telephone line and cut it off first."

"Open the door and search the rooms on both sides of the passage. Don't leave any fish unattended. Machine gunner, hold your machine gun and aim forward!"

"Yes!"

As Zhang Qilin spoke, he kicked open a door next to him and saw that the room was empty, with no Japanese soldiers inside.

But there was light on the wall inside the room, and standing on the steps specially raised by the Japanese, you could see what was happening outside.

"boom!"

"boom!"

"..."

Gunshots continued to be heard. In the temporary command post of the Japanese garrison at the entrance, the Japanese lieutenant heard the noise outside, took a look at the situation in the passage through the observation post, and quickly walked to the phone, ready to report the situation to the command post.

The underground fortress built by the Japanese was very solid, and they had plans for all possible events. For example, if the fortress was attacked by the enemy, there would be observation holes in the rooms at the entrance to observe the situation in the passage.

In this way, even if the entrance is lost, these rooms can become small bunkers to resist and kill all enemies entering the fortress.

This is also why the Japanese were confident and wanted to rely on these fortresses to destroy millions of Soviet troops. According to their plan, they could rely on the fortresses and the complex environment inside the fortresses to resist step by step and destroy a large number of Soviet troops.

But just as he picked up the phone, a grenade was thrown in through the observation port.

"boom!"

An explosion was heard and the Japanese lieutenant was killed.

"Keep an eye on these devils, and the rest of you, follow me and keep going!"

As Zhang Qilin spoke, he continued to move deeper into the fortress. The few Japanese soldiers leading the way were still useful and were not killed for the time being.

As a special operations commander, Zhang Qilin knew very well that when attacking a place like a fortress, the enemy must be caught off guard. Otherwise, no matter how many people came, it would be useless due to the narrow terrain of the fortress.

Capture as many places as you can before the Japanese react.

At this time, Yu Zhigan and the rest of the special operations battalion soldiers also entered the fortress.

"Oh my goodness, the Japanese have hollowed out the mountain. How can there be such a large space?"

Yu Zhigan looked at the situation in the fortress and was a little shocked. The scene before him was really shocking.

"Where's your platoon leader?"

After discovering a row of soldiers who stayed behind, Yu Zhiqian asked while holding a simple map.

This map is a rough topographic map of the fortress's interior drawn based on the confessions of Japanese soldiers.

Originally, Yu Zhigan thought it wouldn't be that big, but now it seems that he may have underestimated the scale of this fortress.

"Report, Battalion Commander, the platoon leader and his men are expanding the controlled area. There's a lot of space inside, and we're currently unable to determine the exact size of this fortress!"

"understood!"

After Yu Zhiqian finished speaking, he turned to the communicator behind him and said, "Contact the first platoon and have the comrades in the first platoon wear their Japanese uniforms inside out, or wear conspicuous markings to distinguish them. The password is Qiuye! The reply is Haitang."

"Yes!"

Soon, the troops brought by Yu Zhigan began to advance along the passage towards the depths of the fortress.

The terrain inside the fortress is very complicated, with three floors and many forks in the road. However, because we only have the map brought by the 71st Independent Mixed Brigade, we can only figure out the situation in one area.

It took two days to clear out about one-third of the Japanese in the fortress. A large number of Japanese were still relying on the fortress to resist. Fortunately, Zhang Qilin acted quickly and occupied several important warehouses in advance according to the map and the guidance of the Japanese prisoners.

At this time, Li Yunlong also brought his troops to the fortress. After being attacked, the Japanese in the fortress immediately sent a telegram to the Kwantung Army headquarters.

Soon a reconnaissance plane arrived near Arshan.

In order to prevent the Japanese from discovering the identity of his troops, Li Yunlong led his troops directly into the fortress, while leaving some people wearing Mao Zedong military uniforms to move around outside.

It really looks like the Russian troops have entered Arshan.

Kwantung Army Headquarters.

Meijing Meijiro is listening to the information sent by the intelligence agency.

"Has the Russian Far East Army detected any unusual movements?"

Looking at the intelligence in his hand, Mei Jing Meijilang slammed his hand on the table. "Where did the Mao Xiong troops that appeared in Arshan come from? We don't even know how long Arshan has been lost. Are these bastards going to wait until the Mao Xiong troops reach Xinjing before they can get intelligence on the Mao Xiong troops?"
