I am helping

Chapter 109 Gong Xi Fa Cai from the Deputy Chief of Staff!
The Yoshino Infantry Regiment of the 9th Brigade of the Japanese Army, led by Colonel Yoshino Yuo.

After marching for more than 120 miles in one day, they finally arrived at Qixian County. As soon as the regiment leader Yuyao Yoshino arrived in Qixian County, he received a news like a thunderbolt from the blue sky.

The entire team of the Black Island United was shattered, not because of defeat, but because of the entire team.

This is simply unimaginable. In the southeast of Shanxi, there is actually an existence that can make the entire Black Island United team shatter?

Aware of the seriousness of the problem, Colonel Yoshino immediately ordered the Japanese scouts to lead the way.

And immediately reported to the headquarters, and then immediately brought more than 3000 people from the entire Yoshino Infantry Regiment to investigate the incident in Jianshanzui, Yelangyu and Dawanggou.

There is nothing to investigate in Jianshanzui and Dawanggou, they are simply ambushed.

The Ninth Brigade of the Japanese Army is known as the elite of the Japanese First Army, and it has two infantry regiments that have just reached 3000 people.

Supplemented by artillery, cavalry, engineering, and luggage, each has a brigade, with a strength of about [-].

The Fourth Brigade is similar to the Ninth Brigade, except that the Fourth Brigade is not under the jurisdiction of the Cavalry Brigade, but the Black Island Cavalry Wing.

However, since the Fourth Brigade was stationed in the Yangquan area, it was the Ninth Brigade, which was relatively close, who came to assist Qi County this time.

However, not long after the ninth brigade set off, Shinozuka Yoshio received the news that the county was lost, so he ordered Oshio Toranosuke to send only one regiment over.

If Shinozuka Yoshio had known yesterday that the Black Island Cavalry Regiment was all broken, the entire 9th Brigade would have come here by now.

The wind in Yelang Valley was very strong today. As soon as the Japanese army arrived, they quickly controlled the hills of Yelang Valley and sent scouts towards the base area.

Surrounded by his lieutenant Ejima Yoshiro and other Japanese officers, the captain of the regiment, Yoshino Yuo, came to the battlefield of Yelangyu wearing a battle robe and carrying a saber on his waist.

In addition to the corpses of Japanese soldiers, there are still corpses of Japanese soldiers on the entire slope.

Although there is little hope, Japanese soldiers are already rummaging to see if there are any survivors.

Many of the carcasses had been eaten by wolves.

More than ten minutes later, the adjutant Ejima Yoshiro came over, and with an ugly face, he nodded to Yoshino Yufu: "Reporting to the captain, no survivors were found. After the fierce battle, the enemy even cleaned up the battlefield. Every soldier's vital points were attacked. It's time to make up the knife!"

"Baga!" Yoshino's cheeks twitched a few times, and he asked, "Which unit of the Chinese Army was the one that ate the Kuroshima Unit?"

Ejima Yoshiro looked embarrassed: "This...isn't clear yet, but Captain Takeshima reported that it was the Eighth Route Army that led out the Kuroshima Regiment and attacked the county seat. The specific number is unknown."

"Judging from the battlefield here, the Eighth Route Cavalry led the main force of the Black Island Alliance here."

"The enemy army ambushing on the hillside used a large number of light and heavy machine guns to shoot and kill the main force of the Black Island United."

"The number of light and heavy machine guns is probably no less than 100!"

"After the defeat here, the Heidao unit was ambushed by a large number of enemy machine gunners in Dawanggou and Jianshanzui on the way back to the county seat."

"Also, the enemy seems to have used machine guns and other heavy weapons in Tsim Shan Tsui."

"Master Kuroshima and Lieutenant Suzuki were shot to death by machine guns."

"Captain Takeda reported that the Eighth Route also used infantry artillery and machine guns when they attacked the city yesterday."

"So I guess, there may be more than eight battles in Yelangyu and Qixian County!"

"Wow!" Isao Yoshino said bluntly, "Mr. Ejima, you agree with me!"

"The Black Island Regiment is cavalry, cavalry that come and go like the wind!"

"If you want to eat all the Black Island United, you need to prepare at least 200 machine guns in the three places of Yelangyu, Jianshanzui and Dawanggou!"

"The Eighth Route Army is poorly equipped and lacks ammunition. Even if all the machine guns of the troops are gathered together, and 200 machine guns are assembled, I am afraid that they will not be willing to bear so many bullets."

"So I guess that the Chinese government army is secretly supporting the Eighth Route Army, and it is even likely that the Chinese government army ambushed the Heidao unit three times!"

"Your Excellency, Captain, is a clear lesson!" Ejima Kichiro said, "This Chinese government army does not fight the imperial army head-on, it is obviously to hide their whereabouts!"

"Apart from the Zhongtiaoshan Wei Lihuang and Yan Xishan troops, the only Chinese government army active in Shanxi is Fu Zuoyi's department."

"Among them, only Fu Zuoyi's Sui Army's whereabouts are erratic. The Sui Army is called the 'Seven and a Half Route', and there is no news of any disharmony or friction between the Eight Route Army and the Eighth Route."

"So I guess, it is likely that Fu Zuoyi's Sui Army is fighting with the Eighth Route Army this time."

"Wow!" Yoshino Yuo said, "Enoshima-kun, immediately report our findings and judgment to the brigade commander and the headquarters."

"Hi!" Ejima Yoshiro paused, and then trotted towards where the communication team was.

Yoshio Shinozuka, who was far away in Taiyuan, received a telegram from the Yoshino Regiment, which was consistent with his guess. It is very likely that the Sui army fled to the southeast of Shanxi.

Fu Zuoyi and his Sui Army were no easier to deal with than the Jin Army and the Central Army.

Yoshio Shinozuka was afraid that the Yoshino Alliance would also be murdered, so he ordered the Yoshino Alliance to retreat immediately to the county seat, and not allow the Yoshino Alliance to attack without authorization until the new garrison arrived in Qi County.

Yoshino Yufu ignored the corpses of these soldiers from Yelangyu, let them expose their corpses in the wilderness, and led his troops all the way back to the county, only bringing back the corpses of Kuroshima Morita and other senior officials.

……

Yangcun, the headquarter of Xinyi Regiment.

After sleeping, Li Yunlong felt full of energy, but he seemed a little hungry.

I walked out of the yard and took a look, the sun hadn't set yet.

"Tiger!" Li Yunlong shouted.

"Here!" The guard Huang Erhu ran in from the door, stood in front of Li Yunlong, and straightened his body.

"Where is Political Commissar Zhao?" Li Yunlong asked.

"Still sleeping." Huang Erhu said, "Leader, do you want me to wake up Commissar Zhao?"

"No need." Li Yunlong said, "Pass me an order to let the cooking team have a whole horse banquet tonight, and our new group will have a New Year's Eve today."

"By the way, tell the whole village to have a feast together."

"Usually, the folks donate to us a lot, and we have made a fortune, so we can't eat alone."

"Let's send the order."

"Yes, Commander!" Huang Erhu saluted with a flushed face, and then walked quickly towards the cooking class. He could eat meat again!
To be Li Yunlong's bodyguard, Huzi also knows some kung fu. Although his skills are not as good as those of Wei Dayong and Duan Peng, he is better than ordinary soldiers.

Li Yunlong was turning around to go back to the inner room of the regiment headquarters to taste the Japanese sake seized from the little devil in the county town.

There was a rapid sound of horseshoes outside the door, and he turned to look.

"Woo!" A scout reined in his horse tightly at the gate of the regiment headquarters' courtyard, then dismounted and ran into the regiment headquarters.

Seeing Li Yunlong, he snapped a military salute: "Reporting commander, about three hours ago, about one regiment of devils appeared in Yelangyu, and they have now returned to Qixian County."

Devils must retaliate, and every time they lose a battle, there must be a crazy revenge that follows.

Therefore, Li Yun sent out scouts from the new regiment to pay close attention to the movement of the devils in the direction of Qi County.

"Going back so soon?" Li Yunlong asked in surprise, "Was the corpses of the devils who were beaten to death taken away, or buried on the spot?"

"It's still there." The scout said, "It was neither taken away nor buried."

Li Yunlong narrowed his eyes slightly, what kind of plane is the devil doing?
He didn't take the corpse away, didn't bury it, and let the corpse be exposed in the wilderness...

After thinking for a while, Li Yunlong couldn't figure out what the devil's mysterious operation was trying to do.

ding ding ding-

The phone in the inner room of regimental headquarters rang.

"Immediately go back and tell your squad leader to closely monitor every move of the devils in Qi County, and report immediately if there is anything unusual!"

"Yes!" The scout straightened up, then went out, got off his horse, and headed towards Qi County.

Quickly returning to the inner room of the regiment headquarters, Li Yunlong grabbed the phone and put it to his ear: "Hi, this is Xinyituan."

A moment later, the deputy chief of staff's joyful and friendly voice sounded in Li Yunlong's ear: "Li Yunlong."

Li Yunlong seemed to be able to feel the happy expression on the face of the deputy chief of staff across the phone.

"Hey, Deputy Chief of Staff!" Li Yunlong's expression turned serious, "Why do you have time to call me?"

"I heard that your Xinyi regiment made a fortune." The deputy chief of staff laughed and said, "Why don't you make a special call to congratulate you on your fortune?"

Li Yunlong smiled and said: "It's a fortune, it's so-so, it's just a small fortune, not a big fortune."

"Be honest." The deputy chief of staff asked, "How much profit did you gain from the battle between Yelangyu and Qixian County?"

When Li Yunlong made mistakes before, the deputy chief of staff often said good things to him, so Li Yunlong and the deputy chief of staff have a very good relationship.

Therefore, Li Yunlong reported to the chief of staff that there were quite a lot of seizures this time, and the number of seizures reported was very rare.

After the chief of staff heard this, he immediately said happily: "Haha, Li Yunlong, I really did not misunderstand you. This time not only wiped out the Black Island Alliance, but also captured a lot of money."

"However, with so much horse meat, you won't be able to finish a new batch..."

Li Yunlong answered very frankly: "Our new regiment left 200 horse meat for the soldiers to improve their lives, and the remaining 440 horse meat were handed over to the headquarters. Deputy Chief of Staff, what do you think?"

Meat is in short supply right now, and usually the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army can only eat a meal of meat when they are fighting or during the Chinese New Year.

I usually eat corn bread and pickles.

More than 440 horse meat, worth hundreds of thousands of catties, can greatly alleviate the difficulty of supplementing nutrition for soldiers in the Taihang Military Region.

Li Yunlong's collective consciousness was weak, and that was also when he was poor.

Now that the new regiment is rich, it must support the brother troops. After all, the rich first lead to the rich.

The remaining 200 army horses also have about 20 catties of horse meat, which is enough to improve the lives of the new regiment of soldiers.

"Li Yunlong, I'm very happy that you have such an enlightenment." The chief of staff said comfortingly, "Then it's settled. By the way, is the logistics transport team still in Yangcun?"

"Still." Li Yunlong said, "Even if you don't make this call, I will ask Minister Zhang to transport the more than 400 horse meat to the headquarters."

"Sure enough, it's different when you have a political commissar. It seems that your ideological consciousness has improved very quickly." The deputy chief of staff laughed.

Li Yunlong said quite proudly.

"It has nothing to do with the political commissar. I also said that the political commissar Zhao, told him to put away his egotistical thinking. It is our Eighth Route Army's discipline to seize and return to the public."

"If you don't believe me, you can ask the brigade commander. The last time I captured the Huting stronghold and wiped out the Okazaki brigade, I handed in not a single bullet or gun."

"This time I also intend to hand over all the captured weapons and ammunition, not a single bullet or gun, to the superior..."

Just after finishing speaking, Li Yunlong suddenly realized that he was complacent and said the wrong thing.

I am.
