Chapter 282 The Price of Killing the Devil's Lieutenant General!
Although the Eighth Route Army troops were poorly equipped and lacked ammunition, they were not bad at intelligence work.

During the 10-year civil war, many excellent intelligence workers emerged from our army, but these intelligence workers are still hidden under the eyes of the enemy.

They develop organizations, collect intelligence, collect and deliver supplies, and help escort important people into and out of blocked areas in enemy-occupied areas...

Their lives are loyal to the party, and their beliefs shine brightly.

They have a unified name called the underground party.

Only a few hours after what happened at Niangziguan, the underground party passed the information to the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army.

"Niangziguan was shelled?"

"A major general and a lieutenant general died, how many chiefs?"

"The Japanese army suffered more than 3000 casualties?"

After receiving the telegram from the communication staff officer, the deputy chief of staff was stunned for a long time after reading it, and then he came to his senses with a quick tone: "Is the news accurate?"

The matter was too great for the Chief of Staff to verify.

If this is true... then it is no less than a major earthquake in the entire North China!

"This is information from comrades in Taiyuan. The authenticity of the information needs further verification." The communications staff said.

"Then verify as soon as possible." The chief of staff nodded, "Verify from multiple channels."

"Yes!" The communications staff straightened up, turned around and drew up two top-secret telegrams for the telegraph operator to send immediately.

After about half an hour, the communication room received three top-secret telegrams from different intelligence agents.

After reading the three telegrams, the Communications Staff Officer reported to the Chief of Staff with an excited look, but his tone was firm:
"Chief of Staff, it has been verified by multiple parties, and the information is accurate."

"According to intelligence, the devils have suffered a lot in Niangziguan this time, and the North China Front Army Command has been furious."

"A major general and a lieutenant general were killed, as well as several senior officers, and more than 3000 devil soldiers were killed or injured."

"The latest information is that Yoshio Shinozuka, the commander of the North China Front Army, sent 10 planes to take off from Taiyuan to Niangziguan to help, and another 4 planes were shot down."

"Ha ha…"

After being confirmed, especially after hearing that the Japanese army had shot down 4 planes, the chief of staff shook his fist severely: "It's really beautiful!"

"Yeah, well done." Then, the communications officer said in a puzzled tone, "Who would do this?"

The chief of staff smiled without saying a word, patted the communication staff officer on the shoulder, turned around and left the communication room, and walked into the headquarters war room.

The war room of the headquarters is the office of the head of the headquarters. The daily work and combat meetings of the heads of the headquarters are all completed in the war room of the headquarters.

There has been no war recently, and the boss and the teacher are playing poker again.

At the moment, the chief of staff told the two chiefs about the information received in the communication room.

The two chiefs suddenly lost interest in playing cards.

"Bombard Niangziguan train station."

"Eliminate 3000 devils, one major general and one lieutenant general."

"Also shot down 4 Japanese aircraft."

In the conference room of the headquarters, Master Liu was extremely surprised after listening to the chief of staff's narration.

"My dear." The boss also exclaimed in a tone of surprise, "It's such a big handwriting, who would do it?"

The combat staff at the headquarters are also unbelievable and unbelievable.

That's a major general, a lieutenant general and 3000 Japanese troops.

How many major generals and lieutenant generals are there in the entire Japanese North China Front Army?

Killed both of them after being locked up by the lady?

Just as the chiefs were guessing which unit did it, the communications staff ran in and gave a military salute: "Report to the chief, Yan Xishan, the commander of the second theater, sent an urgent call, let us find out which unit bombarded us." At Niangziguan Railway Station, the major generals and lieutenant generals of the Japanese army were killed, and a large number of Japanese troops were wiped out."

The teacher suddenly smiled and said: "Yan Laoxi's intelligence work is very good, and he received the news so quickly."

"Yan Laoxi's meaning." The boss narrowed his eyes, "It wasn't the Jinsui army that did it, but our army?"

In the area of ​​Dagu Mountain, Mount Heng, and Mount Wutai to the north of Niangziguan, there are several regiments of the Jinsui Army stationed, including 358 regiments.

And this 358 regiment is equipped with mountain artillery, it cannot be ruled out that the shelling of Niangziguan was done by the Jinsui army.

It's just that as soon as this telegram from Yan Xishan came, it showed that the attack was not done by the Jinsui Army, and if it wasn't the Jinsui Army, it must be the Eighth Route Army.

If it was done by the Jinsui Army, with Yan Laoxi's character, I'm afraid it would have been publicized all over the world. At this time, the Eighth Route Army headquarters should have received the good news from Yan Laoxi.

"Could it be Li Yunlong who did it?"

A combat staff officer with a short stature but a bit fat body analyzed:
"It is definitely not mortars that can kill and wound 3000 Japanese troops, but mountain artillery groups."

"And there are only a few mountain artillery groups in the Taihang and Taiyue military regions of the Eighth Route Army."

"The headquarters is directly under the artillery brigade, the division artillery regiment, the two brigade artillery regiments of the 385th brigade and the 386th brigade, and Li Yunlong's two Duoshan artillery battalions."

The last time the 9 infantry artillery that the 60th Brigade of the Japanese Army received assistance was wiped out, Li Yunlong left 12 infantry artillery.

For the remaining 48 infantry artillery, after discussion by the head of the headquarters, 2 mountain artillery were transferred from each artillery regiment, and an artillery regiment was also assembled for the 385th brigade.

Now the two strongest main brigades of the 129th Division are equipped with artillery regiments.

Now, the 129th Division is equipped with 5 artillery regiments, plus the number of artillery of the new regiment, it can make up 3 artillery brigades.

Of course, these three artillery brigades are a little watery. Half of the cannons are mortars and infantry artillery, and half are 3mm mountain artillery.

Not even a 1mm howitzer.

Moreover, the overall equipment of the 129th Division is still far inferior to that of the Japanese army.

Counting the Southern Hebei Military Region, the 129th Division currently has about 14 brigades, and most of the 14 brigades are still equipped with very low levels of equipment.

The combat staff officer continued: "The headquarters will definitely know about the transfer of the artillery brigade directly under the headquarters, the artillery regiment under the division, and the artillery regiment under the brigade."

"Only the transfer of Li Yunlong's Shanpao Battalion does not require the approval of the headquarters."

"As for Li Yunlong's Shanpao Battalion, although it is called Shanpao Battalion, there are actually 26 Shanpao battalions, almost catching up with the Shanpao regiment in number."

"Killing 3000 devils requires at least a thousand mountain cannon shells. This kid must have this wealth."

In the conference room, the heads of the chiefs gradually lit up as they listened to the analysis of the combat staff.

Reminiscent of a few days ago, the Xinyi Regiment wiped out an elite Kwantung Army brigade in Chenjiagou, Zhengtai Highway.

At that time, the chiefs also guessed for a long time, guessing who did it. Finally, the Xinyi Regiment sent dozens of seriously injured people to the headquarters hospital, and the 386 brigade reported that it was the Xinyi Regiment. The chiefs guessed right, and some chiefs guessed wrong.

"I guess it's also this bastard." The boss laughed: "He has the strength and courage to do it!"

"I want to know if Li Yunlong did it. It's very simple." The chief of staff said, "Call Chen Geng and Li Yunlong separately, so you know?"

"I'll make this call," said the teacher.

At that moment, Master Liu walked quickly to the telephone, and first called Xinyituan, but failed to get through.

Then Master Liu called the 386th Brigade and asked where the new regiment had gone.

"Chen Geng said that he asked Li Yunlong to take Xinyituan to the Niangziguan area to do a side job."

After hanging up the phone, the corner of the teacher's mouth curled up.

After all, Li Yunlong is also Master Liu's subordinate. This kid has made such a great contribution this time, and he has a bright face as a teacher.

As soon as these words came out, the chiefs didn't have to guess, it must be Li Yunlong who didn't run away.

"This kid is really beyond my expectations."

The boss folded his arms, showing joy and appreciation: "He can always surprise you a little bit. I really like him a little bit."

"Really, boss." The teacher asked, "With Li Yunlong's achievements, should he be promoted to brigade commander?"

The boss is in high spirits, if he doesn't help Li Yunlong to be an important official at this time, when will he wait?
"Don't worry, sir, I have other plans." The boss laughed: "I can't treat your beloved general badly."

The teacher grinned: "Boss is also your favorite general."

All the chiefs laughed happily, and the conference room of the headquarters was filled with joyful atmosphere.

……

The morning of the third day.

The new regiment.

Leader Li Datuan who hung up the phone was still a little confused.

The brigade commander called just now and praised him severely.

Li Yunlong was curious at first, didn't he just kill a major general, and it's not like the Xinyi regiment has never killed a major general.

Major General Mitake Tsuda, head of the 4th Brigade, Major General Koshiki Toranosuke, head of the 9th Brigade, and Major General Naotomi Hattori, head of the 21st Brigade.

Before that, the Xinyi Regiment had killed three Japanese major generals, and the brigade commander had never praised him so much.

Under Li Yunlong's questioning, the brigade commander told him the truth. This time, the Xinyi Regiment not only killed the Japanese major general, but also killed a Japanese lieutenant general, several chiefs, and 3000 Japanese casualties.

After hanging up the phone, Captain Li was stunned, both unexpected and reasonable.

The Shanpao Battalion poured more than 500 shells into the palm-sized Niangziguan Railway Station, killing and injuring countless devils.

When Li Yunlong told Zhao Gang the news, Political Commissar Zhao was also excited when he heard it.

Zhao Gang said with a smile: "Speaking of which, the luck factor in this battle is too big. Before I set off, I thought that it would be good if I could get rid of Hirata Masaka, a devil major general. I really didn't expect to achieve such a big result."

Leader Li also nodded in agreement.

Li Yunlong couldn't imagine what would happen if a devil general and a devil lieutenant general were killed.

But no matter what happens, it is a good thing for the Eighth Route Army.

Killing the big fish in Niangziguan's net is really exciting.

Leader Li Datuan began to calculate the capital and business, and said: "The bombing killed and wounded more than 3000 devils, and just returned the weapons and ammunition we had paid in advance."

"Almost." Zhao Gang nodded and said, "Strictly speaking, devil number 3000 is also considered an alliance, let alone more than 3000 casualties."

The 2rd Infantry Regiment of the 3nd Guards Division of the Japanese Army happened to be in that train, and the artillery fire washed the ground to achieve such a great result.

It's really a big piece of fried food.

Li Yunlong continued: "Brother Chen will reimburse the 1300 shells spent on shelling Niangziguan, the 10 bullets spent on air defense, and the 3600 machine shells spent on air defense."

"Shooting down 4 Devil planes, it was 12 mountain cannons. By the way, there is also the chariot brigade that was wiped out last time when the 9th Brigade was wiped out. It has not yet been settled with Brother Chen, and there are 6 mountain cannons."

"This adds up to 18 mountain cannons."

"Killing a few devils and a devil's lieutenant general, such a big deal, Lao Zhao, guess what price Chen Brother... will give us?"

"I don't know." Zhao Gang shook his head first, and then said in a firm tone, "But brother Chen has always been generous, and the price must not be low!"
