Chapter 1427 Li Yunlong: Give Up Wulan Mountain (Second Update)

The former enemy headquarters of the northbound detachment.

Yang Song was reporting to Li Yunlong with his head down about the battles he had just experienced. His face looked very unhappy, and there was no trace of joy in annihilating two thousand Kwantung troops.

"Commander... the Kwantung Army attacked too quickly. If you give us a little more time to prepare, I can dig out a few tunnel entrances and exits, and we will definitely be able to repel the Kwantung Army's attacking forces again!"

"It will definitely be no problem to eliminate another 500 to 600 elite Kwantung troops."

Seeing that Yang Song was getting more and more excited as he spoke, and the regret and unwillingness on his face were becoming more and more intense, Li Yunlong almost thought that he was crazy and interrupted him without hesitation.

"You can't become fat in one bite..."

"This is a big battle, not a game..."

"The Kwantung Army is not stupid... They knew that you were repairing fortifications and digging tunnel entrances on the mountainside defense line, but they did nothing and waited for you to finish repairing fortifications before launching an attack. What's the difference between that and committing suicide?"

"Moreover……"

"If the Kwantung Army had not attacked the mountainside defense line overnight, our artillery unit would not have been able to kill hundreds of elite White Kwantung Army troops in two consecutive artillery raids, giving you a good opportunity to completely wipe out the first wave of the Kwantung Army's attacking forces."

"If this were during the day..."

"There are Japanese planes cruising back and forth over the battlefield. If our artillery wants to avoid being targeted, they can only hide in the battlefield. We have more than 20 mortars but cannot kill the Japanese."

"So the opportunity is not just with the Kwantung Army."

"As long as we seize the opportunity, we can turn any unexpected events on the battlefield into a safe place."

"Besides, we have already killed enough Kwantung troops tonight. There is no need to continue fighting them to the death here."

Li Yunlong's comfort made Yang Song look much better.

He immediately asked, "Chief...then how are we going to fight next?"

"The tunnel entrances and exits on the mountainside defense line have been completely destroyed by the Kwantung Army. It is definitely impossible to use the tunnel fortifications to retake the mountainside defense line."

"Although there are many tunnels and fortifications in other parts of Wulan Mountain, they are very scattered and cannot form a position. It is definitely unrealistic to use the tunnels and fortifications to fight a positional war with the Kwantung Army."

"No more fighting..." Li Yunlong had already thought about this question, and answered it readily without any hesitation.

Shi Jin and Yang Song were stunned on the spot. They had never expected that the commander would make such a decision at this time.

In their view……

Although the remaining tunnels in Wulan Mountain did not form a position and could not fight against the Kwantung Army's attacking forces...but they could still be used for some small-scale sneak attacks.

Li Yunlong in front of him wanted to give up Wulan Mountain, so all the remaining tunnels on the battlefield would be dug in vain.

Just as he was about to ask why, he heard Li Yunlong speak again: "When I say no, I mean no big battle with the Kwantung Army in Wulan Mountain... but we can still fight a small-scale surprise attack."

Yang Song and Shi Jinmeng breathed a sigh of relief. This was the fighting style that a leader should have.

Take advantage of every opportunity on the battlefield to deplete the enemy's manpower.

If Li Yunlong really gave up Wulan Mountain, it would not be in line with his combat style.

But Li Yunlong's next words made the two people's nerves, which had just relaxed, tense up again, and their faces showed an eager expression.

"Since we are not planning to fight a big battle in Wulan Mountain... our main force cannot stay here any longer."

"I plan to leave 100 people behind to use the remaining tunnels in Wulan Mountain to continue to fight against the main force of the Kwantung Army, inflicting the greatest damage to the main force at the lowest cost." "There is no time limit for the remaining troops..."

"It doesn't matter if we hold out for one day or two days, but we must control the casualties of our troops and never confront the Kwantung Army head-on."

"The rest of you follow me and move behind the Kwantung Army..."

"Try to tear open a hole in their blockade and break their blockade..."

"In this way... the main force of the Kwantung Army operating in Fuxin will be in a dangerous situation of insufficient manpower!"

When Shi Jin heard half of it, his first reaction was to lead his team to stay in Wulan Mountain.

The tunnel fortifications played a huge role in the surprise attack on the Kwantung Army.

He was confident that he could use the remaining tunnels in Wulan Mountain to wipe out half a battalion of the Kwantung Army.

This is definitely a great blessing that has been given to you, so don’t miss it.

After listening to the rest of Li Yunlong's words, he hesitated.

The contribution of staying behind in Wulan Mountain and killing four or five hundred Kwantung troops was huge.

He also made great contributions in attacking the Kwantung Army blockade together with the leader.

Moreover, the chief is a man who only takes advantage and never suffers any loss. Maybe by following him we can destroy more Kwantung Army.

Faced with this difficult choice, he didn't know whether he should stay or follow Li Yunlong.

Yang Song's thoughts were exactly the same as Shi Jin's. He showed a hesitant expression on his face, not knowing what decision to make.

But he was full of doubts about Li Yunlong's last words, and asked back with a puzzled look on his face: "Commander..."

"There are still 10,000 or 20,000 Kwantung troops active in Fuxin. How could they be short of manpower?"

"Even if we kill another thousand of them in the Wulanshan battlefield, and we kill a few hundred of them on the blockade, they still have more than 10,000 people. No matter how we analyze it, it is impossible that they are short of troops..."

Li Yunlong replied arrogantly: "If I say that we don't have enough troops, then we don't have enough troops..."

"Although we only killed several thousand of their troops in Wulan Mountain, these several thousand people are elite infantrymen who can go to the battlefield."

"If the troops left behind at Wulan Mountain kill another thousand people, that would be two regiments of infantry."

"No matter how well-equipped the Kwantung Army is, a main division only has four main regiments."

"We consumed two regiments in Wulan Mountain, and the remaining two regiments were divided into four blockade lines. They couldn't spare any troops to continue the encirclement and suppression of us."

"Although they still have more than 10,000 people, half of them are artillery soldiers, baggage soldiers, tank soldiers, and engineers who cannot go directly to the battlefield..."

"No matter how arrogant the Kwantung Army is, they would not dare to send out artillery, logistics troops, and tank troops to encircle and suppress us without the protection of infantry."

"Otherwise, what do you think is my real purpose in spending so much money to fight a decisive battle with the Kwantung Army's mopping-up troops in Wulan Mountain?"

"As long as we continue to consume their forces and let them know that the troops operating north and west of Fuxin have not been eliminated by them and still have the ability to fight, they will not dare to rashly withdraw troops from the blockade line."

"The mopping-up force was badly damaged and could not mobilize troops to encircle and suppress us."

"The troops on the blockade line cannot move. Do you think the Kwantung Army in Fuxin still has the manpower to deal with us? If not a lack of manpower, what is it?"
