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

There are more than two thousand people in one battalion.

The Second Battalion has more than 800 people.

The Third Battalion has more than 1,200 people.

The total number of people added up exceeded 25,000.

This is definitely enough to represent the strength of an entire army.

In other words, Li Yunlong is now also a division commander.

After the organization of each battalion was reported, Li Yunlong's new regiment became an army.

Of course, the number of troops Li Yunlong can command now is less than 25,000.

The main thing is that Su Zheng brought back more than 12,000 people.

But no matter what, Li Yunlong was destined to be the division commander.

Just relying on the troops that have returned, he is enough to be a division commander.

Li Yunlong looked at everyone present with a serious expression and said, "Now let's count the troops brought back by each battalion. There are more than 16,000 of them in total, which is enough to attack Ping'an County!"

"God has granted me, Li Yunlong, the power to command a force of tens of thousands of people!"

"I'm not here to pretend... This time I'm attacking Ping'an County for only one purpose, revenge!"

"Revenge for Zhao Zhengwei, for the sacrificed soldiers, and for the soldiers of Zhaojiayu who died!"

Everyone present nodded.

This revenge must be avenged!

After a pause, Li Yunlong said, "According to the intelligence we have obtained, Ping'an County is a large county town, and there are more than 3,000 Japanese and puppet troops in the county town!"

"We now have more than 5 soldiers in the New First Regiment, with a force ratio of 1:. I have never fought such a rich war in my entire life!"

"According to my idea, we should just attack from the main position!"

"Ping'an County has a total of four city gates: east, south, west, and north. One battalion will be responsible for each city gate! The east gate, which is the main gate, will be given to the independent battalion. What do you think?"

More than 16,000 troops are more than enough to attack Ping'an County.

Zhang Dabiao said slowly: "Captain, Ping'an County is a big county. Once we start fighting, the Japanese and puppet troops around us will definitely send reinforcements."

"We should not only consider taking down Ping'an County, but also the problem of the enemy's reinforcements!"

Shen Quan: "Yes... The Japanese in Taiyuan may send reinforcements, and even dispatch their aviation forces. These are all things that need to be considered!"

Wang Huaibao looked at the map and said, "Captain, Ping'an County is strategically located in a dangerous place and is on a major transportation route. Even if we capture Ping'an County, we won't be able to hold it."

"Unless we concentrate our forces to break into the city as quickly as possible and eliminate the Japanese and puppet troops in the city, then we can do it!"

Xing Zhiguo nodded and said, "I think so too."

"Because the longer we drag on attacking Ping'an County, the more disadvantageous it will be for us. The only right way is to win a quick victory."

"But Ping'an County has solid fortifications and occupies a strong terrain. We must concentrate our forces to quickly break through the city."

Li Yunlong was confident in what he said, and he said, "I now have more than 16,000 people under my command, well-equipped, and hundreds of various artillery pieces and tanks. I don't believe that we can't take down the small county of Ping'an!"

"With hundreds of artillery pieces firing, the walls of Ping'an County could be blown down."

At this time, Su Zheng didn't say a word.

Li Yunlong looked at Su Zheng and said, "Su Zheng, what do you think about the battle against Ping'an County?"

As the top general of the New 1st Regiment, Su Zheng leads the most elite independent battalion, and his opinion is definitely the most important.

Before Su Zheng could speak, Wei Dayong hurried in and said, "Captain, Shangguan Yufei has some information to report to you!"

Does Shangguan Yufei have any information to report?

That is definitely important information.

Su Zheng hurriedly said: "Quick, let her in!"

"Yes!"

Wei Dayong responded and went down.

Soon Shangguan Yufei walked in.

Shangguan Yufei looked around at everyone present, and finally his eyes fell on Su Zheng, and he said: "Report to the head of the group, there is the latest information in Ping'an County..."

Chapter 407: Su Zheng, how much strength and organization have you hidden? (Third update, please subscribe)

Shangguan Yufei looked at Su Zheng and said, "Our intelligence network just received the latest information. The Second Division of the Kwantung Army has just entered Ping'an County!"

The 2nd Division of the Kwantung Army?

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present was shocked.

Even Su Zheng's expression changed when he heard it.

The Kwantung Army is the most elite combat unit of the Japanese devils. It can be called the flower of the Imperial Army and its combat effectiveness is definitely not bad.

In 1940, the Japanese mainland headquarters adjusted its strategy and strengthened its defense against the Soviet Union, and the Kwantung Army increased its strength to 10 divisions.

其中9个为甲级师团，分别是第1师团、第2师团、第4师团、第5师团、第7师团、第8师团、第11师团、第12师团和第14师团，另外还有9个守备队，共同组成了4个军，分别是第三军、第四军、第五军、第六军，兵力总计约30万人。

Among them, the Second Division has a considerable background.

According to Su Zheng's understanding, the Second Division was established in 1873 and was one of the six garrisons first established by the Japanese devils. It was called the Sendai Garrison. It was officially renamed the Second Division in 1886.

Because its recruitment location is Sendai, the 2nd Division is also known as the Sendai Division.

The Second Division was mainly composed of the 4th, 16th, 29th and 30th Regiments. It had participated in many wars and was one of the most combat-effective divisions of the Japanese.

In 1940, the nd Division returned to China for reorganization and recruitment of new soldiers.

The 30th Regiment under the former 3nd Division was drawn out and formed into a new 36th Division together with the 28rd and th Regiments.

In addition, the 13nd Division rebuilt the th Division, a Type B division, based on the remaining troops and reserve troops.

The 2nd Division and Kumamoto's 6th Division were considered to be the most powerful of the Japanese army's many units.

According to calculations at this point in time, although the Second Division is now missing a regiment, its strength is conservatively estimated to be around 15,000.

Su Bai had previously revealed to Su Zheng that the Kwantung Army would move south.

I didn't expect the Kwantung Army to arrive so quickly, and it was the most elite Second Division.

Li Yunlong, Xing Zhiguo, Zhang Dabiao, Shen Quan, Wang Huaibao and others all had serious expressions on their faces, because if the Second Division really entered Ping'an County, it would be difficult to fight.

Although they are fearless, tough and willing to fight tough battles.

But Li Yunlong is also very smart and knows his own strengths and weaknesses.

If the New 1st Regiment really went head-to-head with the elite 2nd Division, the consequences would be disastrous.

This would be even more difficult if the Second Division fought a defensive battle based on the solid city defense fortifications of Ping'an County.

Originally, there were only more than 3,000 Japanese puppet troops in Ping'an County, and most of them were puppet troops.

The new regiment has more than 16,000 troops.

A war of abundance with such a huge disparity in military strength is very easy to fight.

However, if the Second Division entered Ping'an County, the strength of the two sides would become that of the Japanese and puppet troops being superior to the New First Regiment.

The new regiment's troop advantage disappeared.

In addition to the strong defense fortifications of Ping'an County, it was not so easy for the New 1st Regiment to capture Ping'an County.

Su Zhengwang asked Shangguan Yufei, "Do you know how many people there are in the Second Division of the Kwantung Army?"

Shangguan Yufei: "The intelligence we have received so far shows that the total strength of the Second Division entering Ping'an County this time is over 16,000 people, equipped with artillery regiments and armored units."

"Why the Second Division appeared in Ping'an County is still unknown."

Li Yunlong stared at Su Zheng in shock and said, "Su Zheng, is your information accurate?"

"The Second Division has really entered Ping'an County? Did the Japanese know that we were going to attack Ping'an County, so they transferred the Second Division of the Kwantung Army to Ping'an County?"

Su Zheng looked at Li Yunlong and said, "Captain, to be honest, our independent battalion has also built its own intelligence network."

"Since this is intelligence transmitted by the intelligence network, the accuracy of the intelligence is beyond doubt."

Li Yunlong was stunned, his face revealed a look of surprise, and he said: "Su Zheng, how much strength have you hidden? You have built your own intelligence network so quickly, it's not easy!"

It is not difficult to build a simple intelligence network.

The difficulty lies in building an intelligence network that is pervasive and can observe and understand the movements of the Japanese.

For example, this time when the Second Division entered Ping'an County, the New First Regiment's intelligence network did not receive any relevant news or intelligence. Now the Independent Battalion has received such accurate intelligence, which shows that the Independent Battalion's intelligence network is very powerful.

Su Zheng: "There is no other way. Whoever gets the intelligence first will have the upper hand. We must build an intelligence network."

Xing Zhiguo looked at Su Zheng and said, "Su Zheng, why do you think the Second Division appeared in Ping'an County? Could it be that they are really coming for our New First Regiment?"

"Using the elite Second Division to fight against one of our regiments, these little devils really look down on our New First Regiment."

Su Zheng thought for a moment and said, "Captain, Staff Officer Xing, it's like this... I saved a director of the Central Army's intelligence department before, and I learned an important piece of information from him, that is, the Kwantung Army will arrange troops to go south to deal with our Eighth Route Army in North China."

"Now the elite Second Division of the Kwantung Army has appeared in Ping'an County. It is very likely that it is the Kwantung Army unit heading south."

"I guess there are two possibilities for why he appeared in Ping'an County!"

"The first possibility is that the Second Division appeared in Ping'an County by chance."

"Ping'an County is a large county, and it is also strategically located on a major transportation route. It is entirely possible that the Kwantung Army passed through Ping'an County on its way south and rested there."

"The second possibility is that our New 1st Regiment has assembled so many troops, especially our Independent Battalion, so the Japanese will definitely get the news!"

"It just so happens that the Kwantung Army's Second Division is heading south, so Taiyuan may have ordered the Second Division to directly enter Ping'an County to defend it."

"But I think the second possibility is unlikely."

"After all, our new regiment had just assembled not long ago, and the Japanese reacted so quickly. This possibility is too low."

"So I am more inclined to the first possibility."

Li Yunlong and Xing Zhiguo listened to Su Zheng's analysis and nodded slightly, thinking that Su Zheng's analysis made sense.

· ···Request flowers··· 0

I have to say that Su Zheng is very smart.

Everything was just as Su Zheng had analyzed and guessed.

The Kwantung Army's Second Division did appear in Ping'an County by chance.

The Japanese invaders who invaded China were actually divided into four parts: the Kwantung Army, the North China Front Army, the Central China Front Army and the naval fleet.

The Kwantung Army was an elite combat force stationed in the three northeastern provinces, primarily responsible for defending against the Soviet Union.

The North China Front Army was originally the Qing Dynasty's garrison army. It was the oldest and most experienced army among the Japanese invaders. It had four armies under its command, namely the 1st Army, the 12th Army, the 43rd Army and the Garrison Front Army, and its military strength was not weak.

The predecessor of the Central China Front Army was the Demon City Expeditionary Army, which merged with the Japanese Tenth Front Army to form the Central China Front Army, and committed the most crimes and invasions.

The main targets of combat are the "central direct line" troops with strong combat effectiveness and the most elite equipment. The total strength has always remained above 50, most of which are elite main forces.

The Central China Front Army was composed of the 17th, st, and th Armies. At its peak, it had divisions, including many Type A elite divisions, such as the th Division.

....... ......... ...

The Japanese naval fleet is the Third Fleet, whose main activities are in the Yangtze River Basin and coastal areas. It has a military strength of about 6.3 people, and its strength should not be underestimated. It has elite marines and a large number of large-tonnage warships.

There is no subordinate relationship between these four combat forces, so there is no right of direct command or mobilization.

Independent of each other and restraining each other.

Simply put, even Commander-in-Chief Okamura could not order the Kwantung Army to move south.

Yoshio Shinozuka is even less qualified.

But now the Kwantung Army is heading south because of the orders from the Japanese Mainland General Staff Headquarters and the military.

Anti-Japanese activities in North China were very rampant, especially the Eighth Route Army, which used guerrilla warfare many times, making the Japanese in North China suffer terribly.

The Japanese North China Front Army launched several encirclement and suppression operations, but none of them achieved very good results.

Especially in the past six months, the Eighth Route Army's independent battalion has risen strongly, successively annihilating two established Japanese brigades, the 8th Brigade and the th Brigade, and annihilating more than Japanese and puppet troops, killing Japanese and puppet generals, as well as the emperor's nephew.

Under such circumstances, the Japanese headquarters and the emperor were even more determined to annihilate the Eighth Route Army in North China, so they arranged for the elite Kwantung Army to move south, determined to eliminate the Eighth Route Army in North China in one go.
