Anti-Japanese War: Li Yunlong dared to attack Taiyuan

"any solution?"

"Let the Japanese fight and fight with the Americans!"

"Life for life?"

Li Yunlong nodded and said, "During the Lianshanhe Campaign, the Japanese formed a bunch of special attack teams to charge our positions. These special attack teams were the death squads."

"I think since the Japanese are at a disadvantage in terms of equipment, lack air superiority, and have no terrain advantage, the only way to delay the Americans and cause them heavy casualties is to use special forces to make the Japanese themselves a bullet and perish together with the American soldiers!"

The three looked at Li Yunlong, carefully pondered the content of Li Yunlong's words, and instantly understood what Li Yunlong was going to do. This was not only to make the Japanese delay the Americans, but also to make both the Americans and the Japanese suffer losses.

"Please elaborate!"

Li Yunlong nodded and said, "The most important area of ​​Odalia is the southern part of the country. The Japanese and the Americans are fighting for it here."

"I think we can tell Kota Kodera about some of our previous experiences and have him arrange for the devils to learn from them."

"for example?"

"Tunnel warfare. Dig various tunnels in these areas. The Japanese are very capable in civil engineering. They should be able to master it quickly and use the complex tunnel system to delay the speed of the American attack!"

"Besides that, we can also take advantage of the densely forested terrain in southern Odalia to conduct various guerrilla warfare. For example, we can have soldiers who can climb trees climb trees and hide in them to shoot at the US troops. And..."

Li Yunlong quickly summarized some experiences of later generations. These were common methods used by some small countries in later generations to fight against the Americans. Li Yunlong planned to let the Americans experience it in advance and delay their attack speed.

At the same time, these methods are all crooked tricks. Once the Americans get used to them, it will not be easy to change them.

And most importantly, these tactics can really cause heavy casualties to the Americans.

Li Yunlong quickly organized his thoughts and sent them to Kota Kotera.

At this time, Kota Kotera was also formulating his own battle plan, hoping to find a way to slow down the US military's offensive.

But after he looked through all the books and recalled everything he could think of, he still couldn't find a suitable solution.

But at this moment, a confidential secretary delivered a telegram to Kota Kotera.

This confidential secretary was one of the two Japanese devils who were captured together with Kotaro Kotera. He had been the regiment commander before. After Kotaro Kotera was transferred back to his homeland, they were also brought back by Kotaro Kotera. Their military rank had been promoted to colonel, only one step away from being a general.

"Hey, Chief of Staff, a telegram from the General."

For Kota Kotera, General is a nickname for Li Yunlong.

After hearing this, Kota Kotera quickly opened the confidential telegram and carefully checked the contents.

"You go out first!"

Yasuta Kotera suppressed his excitement and waited until the confidential secretary left. Then he rubbed his face hard to make the smile on his face less obvious.

General Li Yunlong is worthy of his name. He was able to work out such a practical combat plan so quickly.

After reading this battle plan, Kota Kotera believed that the defenders in Odalia would definitely cause heavy casualties to the US military.

He quickly memorized the contents of the telegram, then Kota Kotera burned it and carefully washed the ashes with water to ensure that no traces were left.

Immediately afterwards, Kota Kotera took out his pen and paper and began to draft a new battle plan.

The new battle plan was very complete, incorporating all the tactics mentioned by Li Yunlong. In addition, Kota Kotera also added many tactics unique to the Japanese devils, such as the mine-throwing battle plan.

The core content of the entire combat plan is to break up the troops into small units, disperse the troops, scatter them along the routes that the Americans must take to attack throughout the South, and then dig various traps to delay the American offensive.

At the same time, the main force should use this time to dig various tunnels in other important cities, connect these tunnels, and wait until the Americans occupy these cities, and then launch an attack on the Americans at night.

Kotaro Kotaro wrote the entire battle plan in great length and detail. After a sleepless night, he directly delivered the battle plan to the desk of the devil Tian Huang.

"Thank you for your hard work, Kodera-kun!"

Looking at Kota Kotera with red eyes, Tian Huang couldn't help but praise him. How long had it been since he saw someone who worked so hard for the empire day and night?

Looking at Private First Class Tojo, Shigetaro Shimada, and Kota Kodera, the Japanese Tianhuang felt that if there were more people like Kota Kodera around him, the Japanese would definitely not be in the current situation.

"It is my honor to serve the Empire and be loyal to His Majesty!"

Kota Kodera said expressionlessly.

Guizi Tianhuang didn't say anything. He opened the battle plan and looked at the neat handwriting inside. He couldn't help but nodded with satisfaction. Just from the handwriting, he could see Kotaro Kota's loyalty to him.

Compared with the illegible handwriting on Private First Class Tojo's memorial, Kota Kotera's handwriting can be used as a template for others to learn from.

Chapter 731 The Devil's New Battle Plan

"If we use special attack tactics, won't the casualties be too high?"

After reading the entire memorial, Guizi Tianhuang spoke slowly.

"Your Majesty, it is only right to sacrifice some casualties for the victory of the empire. It is our honor to serve Your Majesty with all our loyalty!"

Guizi Tianhuang was very satisfied with Kotaro Kota's answer. He didn't care about casualties, but the attitude of his subordinates towards him. He nodded and said, "In that case, report this battle plan to the Army Headquarters and let them arrange for its implementation!"

"Hayi!"

After the memorial personally approved by the Japanese emperor Tianhuang was delivered to the Army Headquarters, Private First Class Tojo received it first. After seeing the battle plan written by Kotaro Kotera, he turned to look at the people around him.

Now there are only four people left around Private First Class Tojo, three traitors and four fools. Three of them have been captured by Li Yunlong, and their belts are still there.

"This is the battle plan submitted by Kota Kodera, and His Majesty has approved it! What about your battle plan?"

Private First Class Tojo had no intention of sharing power with Kota Kodera, and even wanted to snatch the power from Tianhuang.

Since Tojo formed the cabinet, he has been holding various positions. While serving as Prime Minister, he also served as Minister of the Army and head of logistics, in order to concentrate power in his own hands.

Now Kota Kotera is serving as the Vice Chief of the Army General Staff. In the eyes of Private First Class Tojo, this is like snatching food from his own mouth. Throwing the task of formulating a defense plan for the Odalia garrison on him is just to make it impossible for him to complete the task and have him return to the Kwantung Army in disgrace.

I didn't expect that Kota Kotera actually developed a detailed battle plan within one day.

So Private First Class Tojo turned his gaze to his confidant.

"We have also developed a battle plan, but it is not complete yet."

"..."

Seeing the embarrassment of his confidant, Private First Class Tojo snorted coldly without finishing his words. He just read the complete battle plan and directly stamped his seal on it.

"Your Excellency, Prime Minister, what are you doing?"

Seeing Private First Class Tojo stamp the document directly, several of his confidants were a little puzzled.

"Kota Kodera's battle plan is indeed good, but it requires the Imperial Warriors to sacrifice their lives in exchange for victory. If this battle plan is leaked, what do you think will happen to Kota Kodera?"

The other people instantly understood what Private First Class Tojo meant. They decided to use Kota Kodera's plan to fight the Americans first. If it worked, the credit would go to Private First Class Tojo.

However, if there are too many casualties and there is no effect, then Kota Kodera will be blamed, after all, it was he who proposed the special attack tactics.

"High, it is high!"

"Go ahead and give this battle plan to all the troops defending the islands in the south. Tell them that it was Kota Kotera who drew up this battle plan, and that it was Kotera Kotera who sent them to the front lines to die as cannon fodder!"

"Hayi!"

Soon this battle plan was delivered to Yamashita Tomotake.

At this time, Yamashita Tomotake had retreated to Melbourne, and the Americans also began to prepare to launch an attack on Melbourne.

In the area about 30 kilometers away from the coastline, Yamashita Fengwu now dares not deploy troops at all and can only retreat to the city, but he lacks armored forces and has no way to deal with the American armored forces.

Yamashita Tomotake urged every day to obtain some weapons assistance, such as some anti-tank weapons.

The Japanese have developed a rocket launcher, but due to cost issues and problems with their internal production lines, production has been insufficient. It is mainly deployed in the four northeastern provinces to guard against Li Yunlong's armored forces, and the rest of the troops are basically not equipped with it.

Yamashita Fengwu now did not expect any rocket launcher to help him, and he would even be satisfied if he was given a sting grenade.

"Report, telegram from headquarters!"

Just when Yamashita Fengwu was at a loss, a signalman hurried in and delivered a telegram to Yamashita Fengwu.

"Has support arrived?"

"No, it's a battle plan!"

"Baga, these bastards! What we need now are weapons, not some bullshit battle plan. These people on the mainland don't understand our situation at all!"

Yamashita Tomotake wanted to tear the telegram in his hand into pieces, but he finally held back and opened the telegram to read it.

However, when Yamashita Tomotake finished reading the battle plan in the telegram, his anger gradually subsided.

He quickly walked to the front of the map and looked at the battle plan again.

"Si Guoyi, who came up with this battle plan?"

At this moment, Yamashita Fengwu felt as if his eyes had suddenly opened. He had not thought of many of the combat methods mentioned in this telegram, and after just a quick glance, he felt that they had great potential.

"It's the newly appointed Vice Chief of Staff, Kota Kodera!"

"Nani?"

Yamashita Fengwu felt that there was something wrong with his ears. He knew Kodera Kouta and had personally signed a promotion order for him. Was he a major or a lieutenant colonel at that time? Is he now the deputy chief of staff at the headquarters?

The highest official position he holds now is only the commander of the Odalia regional security, and he still has a long way to go before becoming the deputy chief of staff.

"Hayi is the second generation of the Imperial Flower, a hero of the Empire, a warrior of Siberia, Kodera Kouta-kun."

The chief of staff next to him thought that Yamashita Tomotake had never heard of Kotera Kouta, so he specifically mentioned Kotera Kouta's name.

"I know it's him. He used to be my subordinate."

"Commander-in-Chief, you used to be Vice Minister Kodera's superior? You're truly impressive!"

"Alright, call a meeting. I have a new battle plan!"

"Hayi!"

Although Yamashita Tomotake was a little surprised that Kotera Kouta suddenly took up the position of Vice Chief of the Army General Staff, he did not forget his business and quickly deployed the combat plan. Now the American landing troops were pressing forward step by step and there was no time to waste.

Three hours later, a group of Japanese officers left the headquarters and returned to their own troops, and then began to instill this combat plan to the regiments and battalions below.

This battle plan is not complicated. It does not require the construction of a large number of fortifications, or the assembly of a large number of troops, the occupation of favorable terrain, etc.

You just need to deploy all the troops, and then according to the plan, those who can dig holes will dig holes, those who can climb trees will climb trees, and the troops behind will dig tunnels and lay mines.

So soon, after each unit determined the number of people in its army who could climb trees, they began to take action that night.

The Japanese soldiers who could climb trees received orders to hide overnight on the road that the American troops had to pass, carrying grenades and rifles, looking for hidden trees to hide, waiting for the American troops to pass by.

Don’t be afraid if you can’t climb trees. Just dig holes around the roads you must pass through, hide in them, wait for the American army to pass by, and then launch an attack.

Soon, a division of Japanese soldiers disappeared into the city of Melbourne under the cover of night and headed towards the large woods outside the city.
