Chapter 179 Li Yunlong: Brigadier, congratulations on your fortune!

With so much ammunition and food, the Xinyi Regiment would definitely not be able to eat it. It would be a hassle for the Xinyi Regiment to transport it back to the base area, and it was inevitable for the Xinyi Regiment to hand it over to the brigade headquarters.

So Li Yunlong was relieved.

After a pause, Li Yunlong said again: "By the way, did you find that old devil Mitake Tsuda?"

Li Yunlong did not forget what Chen Feng said to him. As long as the new regiment killed a Japanese major general, Chen Feng would provide an air support of 30 planes.

The second battalion commander shook his head, indicating that he did not know.

At this moment, Zhang Dabiao came over, grinned and said, "Regimental Commander, Political Commissar, I have good news for you. According to the traitor's translation, the Major General of the Fourth Brigade was killed by shells during our first round of shelling. No bones left."

Li Yunlong was overjoyed when he heard the words, then narrowed his eyes, and commented: "The devil always said that the jade is broken, but I see that he is really broken now."

……

Just when Li Yunlong said he wanted to congratulate the brigade commander on his fortune.

The brigade commander at the brigade headquarters suddenly sneezed.

The Brigadier smiled.

"It's probably because that bastard Li Yunlong scolded me behind my back."

"It is estimated that Yangquan was shot down by him at this time, and he must have captured a lot. I am afraid that I will be robbed by Lao Tzu."

I have to say that under normal circumstances, the brigade commander can guess quite accurately.

In the original play, in the Battle of Lijiapo, Li Yunlong didn't get the main attack task, so the brigade commander guessed that he was scolding at the regiment headquarters.

But this time the brigade commander guessed wrong. Li Yunlong wanted to congratulate him on his fortune.

Deputy Brigadier Han folded his arms and said with a smile: "If Li Yunlong can really take down the Yangquan Ammunition Warehouse and Grain Depot, he will definitely gain a lot."

"Yangquan is the largest military base of the devils in Jinzhong except Taiyuan."

"Including the Zhengtai Railway, the Heliao Highway, and the Yuliao Highway, the devil's stronghold and the military supplies of the artillery towers have to be dispatched from Yangquan."

"In addition, the ammunition reserves of the entire Fourth Brigade are also in Yangquan."

"And the Japanese Army Wing Unit and above have spare weapons."

The brigade commander nodded and said: "Yes, if we can take down the ammunition warehouse and grain depot in Yangquan, it will make our entire 129th division a fortune."

"However, it is very difficult to take them down. The devils will definitely destroy these materials first."

"Li Yunlong has a lot of ideas for fighting ghosts." Deputy Brigadier Han thought, "Maybe he can really take it down."

At this moment, Chief of Staff Zhou hurriedly stepped in with a smile on his face.

Chief of Staff Zhou said: "Brigade Commander and Deputy Brigadier Commander, I have good news for you two."

"The comrades from the enemy's Ministry of Industry just now interrogated the Japanese prisoners sent by the Xinyi Regiment."

"According to the accounts of these Japanese prisoners, most of them are not the regular army of devils, but Japanese ronin who were temporarily recruited."

"It seems that Mitake Tsuda was beaten up by Li Yunlong." The brigade commander smiled, "Even Japanese ronin have been dragged into the battlefield."

Deputy Brigadier Han asked: "Chief of Staff, didn't you say good news? What good news?"

Chief of Staff Zhou said with a smile: "These prisoners also confessed that Major General Tsuda Mitake, the commander of the Japanese [-]th Brigade, was killed by the shells of the Shinichi regiment, leaving no bones left."

"Haha..." The brigade commander clapped his hands and laughed, "Li Yunlong is really good at making surprises."

"An ordinary containment mission, just let this kid fight a tough battle and an annihilation battle."

"It seems that this kid is going to heaven." Deputy Brigadier Han's eyes were full of surprise: "This is the second general killed by our Eighth Route Army!"

The last Japanese general who was killed by the Eighth Route Army was the commander of the 2nd brigade, Lieutenant General Norihide Abe, who was known as the flower of the famous general. .

The brigade commander adjusted his glasses, and the eyes behind the frames were a little bright.

Chief of Staff Zhou said again: "According to the news from various ministries, the medium-sized strongholds of the devils have almost been uprooted by the various regiments."

"There are only a few large strongholds left, and it is expected that all of these large strongholds will be removed tomorrow night."

"Completed the task two days earlier than the five days given by the headquarters."

"In addition, the Xinyi Regiment can take Yangquan City. After the large-scale strongholds are removed, I suggest that our 386 brigade can concentrate our forces to take Shouyang County!"

"The casualties in each regiment's attacking strongholds are relatively small." The brigade commander nodded and said, "I don't think there is any problem at all."

"At that time, let the Xinyi Regiment take the main attack." Deputy Brigadier Han said, "Li Yunlong has a lot of tricks in fighting."

"I agree." Chief of Staff Zhou said.

The brigade commander said: "Since everyone agrees, let's send a telegram to the division headquarters first. If we get the approval from the superior, we will immediately formulate a battle plan."

Chief of Staff Zhou immediately drafted a telegram, and then handed it to the brigade commander. After reading it, the brigade commander had no problem, and then handed it to the telegraph operator to send the telegram.

In less than 10 minutes, the division headquarters called back, giving verbal praise and affirmation to the performance of the 386 brigade, and agreeing to the plan of the 386 brigade to attack Shouyang.

Immediately, the three chiefs gathered together and began to formulate a battle plan.

Normally, to formulate a combat plan, you need to consider attack and blocking, but this time, you don't need the 386 brigade to send troops to block.

Because the whole of Shanxi has been turned into a pot of porridge by the Eighth Route Army, the troops who cooperate with the battle will help stop the supporting little devils.

So the three chiefs quickly perfected the battle plan.

"Brigade Commander, Brigade Commander."

"I congratulate you for getting rich!"

Outside the brigade headquarters, several chiefs had just heard the sound of horseshoes, and Li Yunlong's loud voice spread throughout the brigade headquarters before he dismounted.

The task of the new regiment was to contain the Japanese army in Yangquan for at least five days in Lion Mountain.

As a result, in just one day, Xinyi Regiment's containment task was completed, because he wiped out all the little devils in Yangquan and regained Yangquan City.

So, Li Yunlong, who had nothing to do, let Zhao Gang and the soldiers continue to stay in Yangquan City, while he went to the brigade to show off.

"Hey, isn't this Li Datuan? Isn't your regiment attacking Yangquan..."

Seeing Li Yunlong walk into the brigade headquarters, Chief of Staff Zhou looked at Li Yunlong with a smile, his eyes were puzzled, then his eyes brightened slightly, and asked again:
"Yangquan City has already been taken down by your new regiment?"

Li Yunlong smiled and said: "If you say you are the chief, you can guess right. That's right, Yangquan has been taken down by our Xinyituan."

Then he looked at the brigade commander and said, "Brigade commander, I want to congratulate you on getting rich."

"Where does the money come from?"

The brigade commander adjusted his glasses and asked calmly.

Leader Li smiled triumphantly: "Our Xinyi regiment killed only two or three thousand enemies this time, and also took down the ammunition warehouse and grain depot of the Japanese army, and made a small fortune."

"Not many weapons and ammunition were seized. It was the equipment seized by the enemy, plus the spare weapons of the Fourth Brigade found in the ammunition depot."

"In total, there are more than 3000 guns, at least 300 million rounds of bullets, and 2 rounds of shells."

"As for food, it's so-so, only about 200 million catties."

"You took down the ammunition warehouse and grain depot of the Japanese army in Yangquan?" Chief of Staff Zhou was startled, got up and asked, "How did you do that?"

It wasn't much of a surprise that the Chief of Staff of Yangquan Zhou was taken down, because Li Yunlong had already sent communications soldiers to report that the new regiment was going to attack Yangquan City.

But it is very difficult to successfully capture the devil's ammunition depot and grain depot. The devil is likely to blow up the ammunition depot and burn the grain depot in a panic.

"Hahaha..." Leader Li smiled awkwardly, "It's simple, first execute the beheading of the headquarters of the Fourth Brigade, so that the devils can't issue orders to blow up the ammunition depot and burn food, and then concentrate the elite troops to attack the grain depot and Ammunition depot raid, easy take."

Deputy brigade commander Han looked excited: "Brigade commander, our 386 brigade has made a fortune!"

The brigade commander stood up very satisfied, and his tone was a little excited: "Li Yunlong, you have done a good job, you have done a good job, this time I will reward you well."

At this time, the brigade commander's excitement cannot be described in words, and he wished to drag Li Yunlong into a ballroom dance.

"Oh, brigade commander, what are you doing? You are too polite. Just remember to buy me a drink after the battle."

Li Yunlong looked calm and breezy on the surface, but he couldn't help being happy in his heart, and took a sip of the teacup happily.

"Don't say you want to drink." The brigade commander laughed, "Even if you want to eat Tang's monk meat, I will find a way to get it for you."

Afterwards, the brigade commander turned his head to look at the chief of staff: "Send this news to the division commander and the head of the headquarters immediately. They must be happy to receive the news. In addition, I request the division headquarters to immediately support our brigade's transport team, militiamen and civilian husbands, and go to Yangquan to move weapons and ammunition." and food."

"Yes!" The next week the chief of staff picked up a pen and paper and began to draft a telegram.

Deputy Brigadier Han looked at Li Yunlong and asked, "Li Yunlong, how about the casualties of your regiment?"

……

It is different from the cheerful atmosphere of the 386 brigade.

At this time, the headquarters of the Japanese First Army was in a haze.

According to the information obtained from the reconnaissance of aviation fighter jets, more than 100 medium-sized strongholds fell during the day.

Among them, Jingxing Coal Mine, Niangziguan Station, and even Yangquan were all captured by the Eighth Route Army.

This made Shinozuka Yoshio, Kusuyama Hideyoshi and other devil officers completely panicked.

Kusuyama Hideyoshi said to Shinozuka Yoshio: "Your Excellency, Commander, up to now, the headquarters of the First Army and even the headquarters of the North China Front Army haven't figured out the numbers of the participating troops of the Eighth Route Army."

"The Eighth Route Army's troop deployment and next-step combat intentions are even more ignorant."

"How many cards does Eight Road have? What is the ultimate goal of Eight Road?"

"Are they just trying to tear down the strongholds along the railway line? Or are they going to attack...Taiyuan?"

On the word Taiyuan, Kusuyama Hideyoshi deliberately paused, and bit heavily.

Hearing the word Taiyuan, Shinozuka Yoshio couldn't help but narrow his eyes slightly, and his pupils also shrunk.

If the war is allowed to continue like this, it is not impossible for the Eighth Route Army to attack Taiyuan.

"Order." Shinozuka Yoshio said in a deep voice, "The intelligence department immediately inquired clearly about the attitude of the China Jinsui Army and the Central Army towards the Eighth Route Army's launch of this campaign."

Judging from the current situation, the 3rd, 4th, and 9th brigades have been unable to deal with this eight-way attack.

The old devil is already considering whether to send back some of the three divisions of the besieged Central Army from the front line in southern Shanxi.
