Anti-Japanese War: Li Yunlong dared to attack Taiyuan

Among them, the tank regiment's tanks are being transported to Temple Street by sea, and then transferred from Temple Street to Blagoveshchensk.

At present, Kotaro Kotaro's 171th Division has not yet been fully formed, the th Division is on its way, and the commander of the st Division is a person recommended by Kotaro Kotaro. Although Kotaro Kotaro is nominally only the commander of the th Division, he has already begun to have his own power within the Japanese.

At the same time, the two people supported by Kota Kotera were promoted from major to lieutenant colonel, and were able to serve as the commander of the 171st Division. Now Kota Kotera has his own team.

The battle plan formulated by the Japanese required the 4th Division to participate in the attack, so after the headquarters completed the preliminary battle plan, it sent one of the battle plans to Kota Kotera, asking him to complete the reorganization of the 4th Division as soon as possible and go south to participate in the battle.

Then, as expected, this battle plan appeared in Li Yunlong's hands.

By the time Li Yunlong returned to Fengtian, it was two days after the missile test.

"Everyone is here. Let's talk about personnel appointments before the meeting."

The division commander, deputy division commander, and brigade commander Jiang Shou all rushed to this combat meeting.

Sitting on Li Yunlong's left was Wu Yier, whom Li Yunlong brought back when he went to Taihang Mountains. It took Li Yunlong a lot of effort to get the rear headquarters to release him.

Wu Yier stood up and glanced at everyone, all of whom were familiar faces. He said, "I won't be shaking hands with you all because we're in a meeting today. I'm new to this job, so I'd appreciate your guidance."

"Hahahaha, that's enough, Lao Wu. I don't dare shake your hand. Something bad will happen if I do!"

The brigade commander made a joking remark, and the atmosphere became lively.

Wu Yier came to serve as the political commissar of the Heilongjiang-Jilin-Liaoning-Chahar Military Region. Now the number of people in the military region has reached 800,000, and Lao Zhao is no longer able to cope with the situation, so he stepped down and gave up the job of acting political commissar. He now serves as deputy political commissar.

"This is the battle deployment of the Japanese sent by my personnel who were planted inside the Japanese army."

Li Yunlong shook the battle plan sent by Kota Kota and said, "It's pretty much what I expected. The Japanese are planning a counterattack before winter comes."

"The focus of the counterattack may be in Baicheng. Now the situation has reversed. We will defend and the Japanese will attack!"

After hearing this, the division commander and others all smiled and said, "Li Yunlong, during the attack, you were lazy and let Jiang Shou take command. Are you not going to take command yourself this time?"

Li Yunlong quickly waved his hand and said, "Commander, I don't need to take command this time."

"How are you going to fight?"

Li Yunlong drew a circle on the map of the four eastern provinces and said, "Without a battle plan, the four corps will fight independently. Utilize your own strengths to eliminate as many of the enemy's manpower as possible and drag the war into winter!"

"The Japanese want to concentrate their forces to attack and force us to fight them, but we can't do what they want. The Japanese want a decisive battle, but we refuse to fight. In one word, we just drag it out!"

"The main force of the Japanese is the Siberian Front Army that has returned from the Siberian front. This unit has been fighting for almost two months and is about to continue its march south without any rest!"

"The Japs are not made of iron, they need rest too. This unit is already at the end of its strength!"

"The Japanese want to end the battle in one fell swoop, but they wish! These battles are just what we left over!"

Hearing Li Yunlong's proposal, the division commander and others nodded and said, "Yes, it is indeed possible. What do you think, Chief Jiang?"

"Take your time, don't rush!"

Li Yunlong nodded and said, "As far as we know, the Japanese will mobilize an elite force of approximately 100,000 men to form an army, marching straight from Outer Mongolia to Baicheng, hoping to replicate our previous attack route. This will be handed over to the Second Corps. Is there any problem with that, Brigade Commander?"

The brigade commander glanced at the map, thought for a moment, and said, "Will there be enough ammunition?"

"Enough!"

"That's no problem!"

"Okay, Brigade Commander, the area from Baicheng to Wangye Temple is all mountainous, so I'll leave it to you. Just destroy the enemy's active forces to the greatest extent possible."

"can!"

Li Yunlong pointed towards Jinzhou and said, "Currently, the direction of Jinzhou is the most pressured. The Japanese are preparing to deploy a fleet to bombard Tashan and Jinzhou. We don't know the size of the fleet they will deploy yet, so this area may have to withstand heavy Japanese firepower!"

At this point, Li Yunlong pointed to Tashan and said, "The situation in Jinzhou is different from that in Baicheng. Before the battle begins, I plan to first eat up the remaining Japanese troops here. At worst, I will drive them back to Shanhaiguan. In this way, the pressure on Tashan and Jinzhou will be greatly reduced."

After Li Yunlong finished speaking, he pointed at the map and continued, "Since the Japanese are going to send out a fleet, I estimate that they will use transport ships to mobilize some of the Japanese troops from the ten divisions here to land in Yingkou or at the mouth of the Liaohe River."

"This will allow the remaining eight divisions in the Liaoxi Corridor to maximize their combat effectiveness!"

"Once the Japanese take advantage of their naval guns and naval superiority and mobilize six of these eight divisions to areas like Yingkou, we will be attacked from both sides!"

"So instead of just sitting there and waiting for death, we should take the initiative and destroy the eight divisions of the devils in the Liaoxi Corridor, solving the problem once and for all!"

After hearing Li Yunlong's proposal, everyone fell silent and began to think about the feasibility of the plan. Li Yunlong had a big appetite, wanting to eat up eight divisions of Japanese devils in one go.

Chapter 675 Battle Deployment

"Eight divisions of elite devils are not easy to defeat!"

The commander and others expressed their concerns.

"Indeed, Li Yunlong, the devils in the Liaoxi Corridor are not the Type C divisions we saw before. At worst, they are Type B divisions. These devils will not be easily defeated or blown up."

"These devils have already built some defensive positions along the Lianshan River, and are also preparing for our counterattack. If we attack head-on, the casualties will be quite high. Once the devil's fleet arrives to support us, the entire Liaoxi Corridor will be under the coverage of their naval guns!"

Jiang Shou also expressed his concerns.

Li Yunlong smiled and took out the armed helicopter model he had taken out before.

"So we won't use conventional tactics this time!"

"No conventional tactics?"

Li Yunlong nodded: "The armed helicopters have not been exposed, and have been waiting for the Japanese tanks to move out. However, the Japanese tanks have been hiding behind and refusing to fight us, so they can only hide for the time being."

The Japanese had armored units in the four northeastern provinces, with about two hundred vehicles. However, after losing air superiority, the Japanese immediately became turtles.

The two hundred tanks never showed up, so Li Yunlong did not send out the armed helicopters.

"Armed helicopters can not only deal with the Japanese tanks, but can also carry out decapitation operations!"

"The Japanese are headquartered in Huludao. Ever since we killed Khabarovsk, they've strengthened the defenses of their headquarters. Intelligence personnel in the city say they've blown up all the surrounding houses, leaving only the headquarters."

"Even if we send a special forces team to launch a surprise attack, it will be almost impossible to complete the mission. The Japanese have built many fortifications around the headquarters."

"But the Japs never imagined we would attack from the sky!"

"Use bombers to destroy the enemy's artillery units behind Lianshan River, and then send out the armored forces! Then use armed helicopters to launch a surprise attack and blow up the enemy headquarters. Then, without a command, the enemy will be leaderless, and we can defeat them one by one!"

After hearing these words, everyone's attention was attracted by the armed helicopter model in Li Yunlong's hand.

"confident?"

"Just bomb it with bombers?"

Li Yunlong shook his head. "After the Japanese lost air superiority, they kept watching the sky overhead. As soon as the bombers were dispatched, they would notice and their headquarters would definitely move in advance. Moreover, the bombers bombed at night, and the Japanese imposed a blackout, making it difficult for them to hit their targets!"

Hearing Li Yunlong's words, everyone looked at each other. They had never used this tactic before, so they thought about it for a while and asked cautiously, "Are you sure?"

"Let's give it a try. If it succeeds, the Japanese troops in these eight divisions will be trapped. Even if it fails, there won't be too many casualties."

"Okay, let's give it a try!"

Chief Jiang nodded in agreement with Li Yunlong's plan. Li Yunlong's combat plan required the cooperation of his Fourth Corps.

"Besides that, the Japanese on the peninsula have also assembled a large force, but they are all new recruits. Deputy Division Commander, it's up to you to perform here!"

The deputy division commander nodded. The roads from the peninsula to the four northeastern provinces are all mountainous. Using complex terrain to carry out layered sniping or fight annihilation battles is what the Eighth Route Army is best at, so Li Yunlong does not need to deploy anything.

"As for the north, the Japanese will launch a strong attack in the north to support their offensive in the western region. Commander, the pressure on your side should be the greatest!"

Hearing this, the division commander smiled and said, "Don't worry, leave it to me. I will never let a single devil reach Xinjing."

"Okay, of the five divisions directly under my command, three will be assigned to the First Corps to strengthen its combat effectiveness, and the remaining two divisions will serve as the general reserve!"

At this time, Wu Yier thought for a moment and said, "Li Yunlong, I suggest you strengthen the defenses in Fengtian City, and it would be best to strengthen the defenses around the headquarters."

"What does the commissar mean?"

"You like to carry out decapitation operations against the Japanese. The Japanese have suffered many losses from this tactic, so they naturally learn it. We have just taken Fengtian City, and there are still some problems in the city. I personally suggest strengthening Fengtian's defenses."

Li Yunlong nodded after hearing this. "Alright then. Let the 16th Division be stationed in the city defense area, and the 17th Division will be stationed around the headquarters. At the same time, have the Security Department strengthen the headquarters' security! Oh, and the headquarters' commands will be rotated at night, and they shouldn't be used for more than two hours!"

"Yes! That's fine. Division Commander, Brigade Commander, Deputy Division Commander, Chief Jiang, your headquarters must also strengthen their defenses and follow my methods. Change the passwords every time you rotate, and restrict people entering and leaving, so that the Japanese won't become desperate!"

Wu Yi'er is experienced. Li Yunlong thought about it and realized that he was indeed not very alert to his surroundings. He should be more vigilant, so as not to be like Mei Jing Meijiro, who focused all his attention on the front line and didn't even know that Kong Jie had found his doorstep.

"In addition, Ding Wei and Kong Jie's troops have also been mobilized. These two troops are stationed outside the main battlefield and can cut off the enemy's logistical supply, making it more convenient for us to fight!"

"Okay, I'll give the order right away."

At this time, Jiang Shou thought for a moment and said, "Where are Lao Han's troops?"

"Old Han is still hanging out with the Japanese troops. I didn't let them come back, but I think the Japanese will let Old Han join them in attacking Baicheng this time. After all, Old Han's troops are familiar with the terrain of Outer Mongolia!"

After hearing this, Chief Jiang looked at the map around him and said, "If that's the case, the Second Corps can fight more aggressively and lure the Japanese into the vicinity of the Wangye Temple. The terrain here is long and narrow. If we can block the front and rear ends, this elite Japanese force..."

Jiang Shou expressed his ideas, and Li Yunlong had to admire Jiang Shou's ability. The last time he commanded the attack on the four eastern provinces, he had already memorized all the terrain he passed through in his mind.

Now he can even remember the characteristics of some troops and fill in the gaps for Li Yunlong.

"Okay, I'll contact Lao Han as soon as I get any news. Brigade Commander, then this elite Japanese force will be handed over to you!"

After discussing the general policy, the remaining part of this combat meeting was to supplement various details, the focus of which was how the First Corps in the North would defend and how the Fourth Corps in the South could quickly eliminate the Japanese troops.

This combat meeting lasted from the afternoon until evening.

However, after the meeting, there was no time to waste. The division commander, deputy division commander, brigade commander, Jiang Shou and others needed to rush back to their bases overnight to deploy troops and deal with the next battle.

After Li Yunlong's combat meeting ended, the Japanese's combat meeting was still going on.

Chapter 676: The Japanese Combat Deployment

"In addition to sending elite troops to launch a raid from the direction of Baicheng, we also need to open up a new front!" Ishihara Guaner pointed to the location of Tashan.

When Ishihara Kanji swept his eyes over the Japanese devils in front of him, he had a look of disdain on his face. The group of people in front of him could only be described as insects.

After discussing for a long time, there was no result.

Especially Private First Class Tojo. In Ishihara Kan'er's eyes, calling him a private was an overestimation of him. He was only suitable to be a private.

"Hmm? Opening up a new front?"

Hearing what Ishihara Kanji said, Private First Class Tojo frowned.

"Yes, this time our Kwantung Army needs the cooperation of the Army Headquarters to send a fleet to support the Tashan front."

"Li Yunlong deployed a large number of troops on the Tashan front. These troops are well-equipped and have air superiority."

"If we storm, the Empire will suffer huge casualties."

"I've read the battle report on the Lianshanhe front. Two divisions have been lost, and they haven't made any progress. The commander should commit seppuku. This also shows that we can't use our previous experience to deal with Li Yunlong's troops."
