Anti-Japanese War: Developing on my own, I brought back a US-equipped division

"I've been busy lately, so I didn't see her!"

Li Yunlong took the hot soup, drank two sips, and then his eyes were fixed on the battle situation map again.

Seeing Li Yunlong's seriousness, Zhao Gang asked, "Old Li, do you have any ideas?"

Zhao Gang was also very worried and nervous about the siege of the independent camp.

Li Yunlong frowned and said, "Old Zhao... the current situation is not optimistic at all!"

"We are too far away from the Xinzhong Village base. We will definitely encounter resistance from the Japanese and puppet troops along the way. It will be too difficult."

"Even if all our combat forces arrive at Xinzhong Village, we won't be able to help much with the troops directly under our regiment!"

Zhao Gang nodded and said, "Yes!"

"According to the intelligence information currently available, the Japanese Army's 9th Brigade and the Imperial Army's 4th Mixed Brigade have a total of more than 12,000 people. They also deployed tanks, armored vehicles, artillery, aircraft and other heavy weapons! (bdda)"

"So the situation of the independent battalion is very dangerous now. We have to find a way to reinforce it."

Li Yunlong looked up at Zhao Gang and asked, "Old Zhao, I asked you to send a telegram to the independent battalion. Did you send it? Did the independent battalion reply?"

Zhao Gang: "It has been sent... Now we are waiting for the reply from the independent battalion."

Li Yunlong's eyes fell on the situation map again, and he murmured, "If it really doesn't work, then order the whole regiment to assemble!"

"Gather all the troops from all battalions, divisions, and companies of our New 1st Regiment and go to reinforce the Independent Battalion!"

There are less than two months left until the date agreed with the boss.

If we order all the battalions and units to assemble at this time, it will actually be detrimental to the development of each unit.

Because this will affect the development plans and combat plans of each battalion and unit.

Zhao Gang naturally understood the reason, looked at Li Yunlong and asked: "Old Li, have you thought it through?"

Li Yunlong was silent for a moment, then said, "Old Zhao... Under the current circumstances, our New 1st Regiment cannot just sit back and watch!"

"The Independent Battalion is a member of our New 1st Regiment. We, the New 1st Regiment, must rush to support them with all our strength!"

"The 9th Brigade and the 4th Mixed Brigade of the Imperial Army have been besieging the Independent Battalion for five days, and we still don't know the specific situation of the Independent Battalion!"

"I don't think the independent battalion can hold out for much longer. The situation is definitely not optimistic now!"

"In order to rescue the Independent Battalion, I can only order the entire New 1st Regiment to assemble!"

"Old Zhao, you should also know the important role and extraordinary significance of the independent battalion to our Eighth Route Army, right?"

Zhao Gang nodded and said, "Of course I know this!"

The independent battalion has developed into the ace unit of the Eighth Route Army.

The uncrowned king.

It is no exaggeration to say that the independent battalion is extremely important to the entire Eighth Route Army.

Li Yunlong: "That's it... Besides, you and I have both been to the Xinzhong Village base for inspection!"

"The Xinzhong Village base is a paradise, where the people live and work in peace and contentment. In this chaotic world, they finally have a place to settle down!"

"If Xinzhong Village is breached, it means that Xinzhong Village will suffer devastating damage!"

"All of Su Zheng's previous efforts to build Xinzhong Village will be ruined!"

Zhao Gang: "Yeah...I thought so too."

"Then Lao Li...if our New 1st Regiment assembles urgently now, how many people can the other three battalions gather except for the independent battalion?"

Li Yunlong was silent for a moment, then said, "Based on the report they provided earlier, I estimate that we should be able to gather around 4000 people!"

"Including the troops directly under our regiment, we can gather a total of more than 4,500 troops!"

More than 4,500 people, this is not a small number.

This is almost the number of troops of a brigade.

In other words, even if the independent battalion's troops are not counted, Li Yunlong can become a brigade commander by gathering troops from other battalions of the New 1st Regiment.

Because a standard brigade has three regiments under its command.

A regiment has about 1,500 people.

Plus the troops directly under the brigade.

A standard brigade has about 5,000 men.

So Li Yunlong now holds the title of a regiment commander, which is actually also considered a brigade commander.

Zhao Gang nodded and said, "Okay... Then give the order for the entire regiment to assemble. We must find a way to reinforce the independent battalion no matter what!"

"The Independent Battalion has been besieged by the Ninth Brigade and the Fourth Mixed Brigade of the Imperial Army for five days now. The longer it drags on, the more disadvantageous it will be for the Independent Battalion!"

Li Yunlong looked at the battle situation map and decided, "Okay, then the whole regiment will assemble!"

"Messenger, everyone assemble!"

Although the time had not come, Li Yunlong still decided to gather the entire regiment to reinforce and rescue the independent battalion.

As long as the whole group is gathered together, the strength of the new group will still be very strong.

As the voice fell, a burst of hurried footsteps was heard.

Not a moment.

A soldier walked in.

But this soldier is not a messenger, but a communications soldier.

The communications soldier came to Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang, saluted and said: "Report to the regiment commander, the independent battalion has sent back a telegram..."

PS: I will continue to update four chapters today. I hope the automatic subscription will exceed 50. In the new January, I hope the rich man will give me a reward. The automatic subscription and reward will increase the update.

Chapter 324 Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang are shocked! Is Su Zheng going to be promoted? (The third update, please subscribe)

Li Yunlong made up his mind to gather the entire regiment with the purpose of reinforcing the besieged independent battalion.

But before the order was given, the signalman came in.

Did the Independent Battalion reply to the telegram?

Li Yunlong couldn't wait to ask, "What did the independent battalion say in the telegram? What's their situation?"

Signalman: "Report to the commander."

"According to the content of the telegram sent back by the Independent Battalion, the Independent Battalion has already encountered the New Nakamura Crisis!"

"The independent battalion completely wiped out the invading enemy's 9th Brigade and the 4th Mixed Brigade of the Imperial Army, killed four Japanese puppet generals including Qingquan Masao, Koizumi Taro, Lu Shitang, and Wang Danwei, and wiped out more than 12,000 enemies in total!"

"The independent camp is currently safe, and the Xinzhongcun base is safe!"

When these words were spoken, both Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang were stunned.

stunned!

To be precise, I was shocked!

Both Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang had an expression of indescribable surprise on their faces.

His eyes were full of disbelief.

shocked!

Too shocked!

Such a result is really shocking.

Total annihilation?

The independent battalion actually wiped out the 9th Brigade and the 4th Mixed Brigade of the Imperial Army?

This time the Japanese and puppet troops deployed airplanes, cannons, tanks and armored vehicles!

Under such circumstances, how could they fight back and annihilate more than 10,000 Japanese and puppet troops?

This really shocked Li Yunlong, who had seen the world.

Hiss hiss hiss...

Li Yunlong couldn't help but gasp for air, stunned, his eyes as big as a cow's, his mouth slightly open, his eyes filled with an incredible expression.

I was completely dumbfounded.

Zhao Gang next to him was in much the same situation.

His face was full of horror.

Open your mouth slightly!

Startled!

I was so surprised that I was speechless.

Zhao Gang had some understanding of the strength of the 9th Brigade and the 4th Mixed Brigade of the Imperial Army.

Relying on the combat effectiveness of this brigade and a mixed brigade, it is more than enough to face the strength of the Central Army or an army of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army.

Moreover, this time the Japanese also dispatched air force, and there were a large number of tanks, armored vehicles and artillery!

The independent battalion was at a disadvantage both in terms of manpower and equipment.

Although as the headquarters of the new regiment, it also maintains contact with the independent battalion, Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang are still not aware of the latest situation of the independent battalion.

In other words...now Zhao Gang and Li Yunlong both thought that Su Zheng's independent battalion only had more than 2,000 soldiers.

They didn't even know that the independent battalion was equipped with two companies of American equipment.

There are also advanced weapons and equipment such as the M2A1 105 caliber howitzer, M134 Gatling machine gun, etc.

To sum up, Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang do not fully understand the true strength of the independent battalion.

So at this time, Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang thought that Su Zheng's independent battalion, relying only on the strength of more than 2,000 people, directly wiped out the 9th Brigade and the 4th Mixed Brigade of the Imperial Army with more than 12,000 people.

The difference in troop strength is as much as six times.

Still at a disadvantage in equipment!

So getting such a result made Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang even more shocked.

I think this is really incredible.

Because in their view, this was an impossible victory.

Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang felt that it was quite remarkable that the independent battalion, with a force of more than 2,000 men, managed to hold out for five days against the heavy attack of the Japanese and puppet troops.

However, it was unexpected that the independent battalion also completely wiped out the 9th Brigade and the 4th Mixed Brigade of the Imperial Army.

The troops that came to encircle and annihilate were eventually killed by the encircled and annihilated troops.

If this were anyone's turn...who wouldn't be confused and shocked?

Li Yunlong came back to his senses from his shock, snatched the telegram from the communicator and looked at it carefully.

Never mind...I don’t understand.

Illiterate.

"Old Zhao, take a look at the contents of this telegram!" Li Yunlong handed the telegram to Zhao Gang and said, "See if the independent battalion said that it had completely wiped out the 9th Brigade and the 4th Mixed Brigade of the Imperial Army."

"It doesn't sound real to me... there are more than 10,000 Japanese and puppet troops!"

"Among them, the Ninth Brigade is a tough one!"

Zhao Gang took the telegram and read it. He was surprised and excited, and said, "Old Li... This telegram indeed says that the independent battalion completely wiped out the 9th Brigade and the 4th Mixed Brigade of the Imperial Army!"

"It seems that Su Zheng's independent battalion has made great achievements again!"

"This is an almost impossible military achievement. With only 2,000 people, they defended Xinzhong Village and wiped out more than 12,000 Japanese and puppet troops. It's simply incredible!"

Zhao Gang and Li Yunlong did not know that before the defense of Xinzhong Village, the total strength of the independent battalion had reached more than 5,000 people, and it also had many advanced weapons and equipment.

Li Yunlong was still stunned, muttering, "I really didn't want to fight... Su Zheng is really an amazing guy!"

"With such a small force, they completely wiped out the 9th Brigade and the 4th Mixed Brigade of the Imperial Army. These two units are not easy to deal with!"

"This is amazing! This is really unbelievable!"
