I am helping

Chapter 451 Li Yunlong is playing a big game of chess!
Taiyuan.

First Army Command.

"Send this letter to Yan Xishan through the Jinsui Army's intelligence station."

Yoshio Iwamatsu handed the intelligence staff a letter and said to him.

The letter has been written for several days, but it has not been sent, mainly because Yoshio Iwamatsu has not contacted Yan Xishan.

Fortunately, the intelligence department of the First Army found an intelligence station of the Jinsui Army in Taiyuan.

However, Yoshio Iwamatsu did not order the arrest of the intelligence personnel of the Jinsui Army, but hoped to keep in touch with Yan Xishan through this intelligence station.

"Hi!" The intelligence officer took the envelope, paused, then turned and left.

After the intelligence staff left, Kazuki Yamamoto walked in again with his bazooka sketch.

"General!"

Kazuki Yamamoto still had a paralyzed and cold expression on his face, his feet snapped together, and he nodded to Yoshio Iwamatsu.

Yoshio Iwamatsu was about to read the battle plan submitted by Hanaya Masho. He just opened the first page of the plan, and before he could read it, he heard footsteps, and when he looked up, he saw Kazuki Yamamoto.

His brow wrinkled slightly.

During this time, Kazuki Yamamoto often came to promote his special operations, and applied to go to Northwest Shanxi to find an opportunity to decapitate the regiment headquarters of the new regiment.

However, Yoshio Iwamatsu was not interested in Kazuki Yamamoto's special operations, even if the Yamamoto special team performed brilliantly in the Battle of Zhongtiao Mountain.

He put Kazuki Yamamoto by his side, mainly because he wanted Kazuki Yamamoto and his secret service team to protect the safety of the First Army Command.

Although Yoshio Iwamatsu has a personal guard, its combat effectiveness is far inferior to the secret service team equipped with automatic firepower. In terms of security work, it is not as professional as Kazuki Yamamoto and the secret service team.

In Yoshio Iwamatsu's view, Kazuki Yamamoto's mind is full of special operations, and he did learn something in Germany.

But this is the Chinese battlefield. It is foolish to put the hope of winning or losing the war on soldiers who only have a few dozen soldiers.

"Yamamoto-kun, are you okay?"

After frowning for a moment, Yoshio Iwamatsu smiled slightly and asked Kazuki Yamamoto.

From Yoshio Iwamatsu's slight expression, Kazuki Yamamoto noticed that His Excellency the Commander seemed a little dissatisfied with his arrival.

"This is a redrawing of the Eighth Route Army's new weapon according to Major General Miyazaki's dictation. General, please have a look."

Kazuki Yamamoto handed over the sketch in his hand, and after Masao Miyazaki dictated, the bazooka that Yamamoto ordered to re-draw was more like a bazooka.

Yoshio Iwamatsu took it over and glanced at the sketch, and asked puzzledly, "What does Yamamoto-kun mean?"

Kazuki Yamamoto said: "General, Kazuki Yamamoto knows that people are soft-spoken and can't talk to the officials of ordnance production. I hope that Your Excellency the General can give this sketch to the officials of ordnance production, so that they can study and imitate this new type of equipment. .”

Yamamoto looked down on the old, dead-headed officials in charge of ordnance production.

Take a look at what kind of weapons they produce. They don't even look like a submachine gun. Moreover, the submachine gun has not been equipped in large quantities in the army since its production. This made Kazuki Yamamoto very disappointed.

"Copy this weapon?"

Yoshio Iwamatsu was taken aback for a moment, he hadn't considered this issue yet.

"Hi!"

Kazuki Yamamoto showed a painful expression on his face: "The general should remember the battle of Nomenkan in Mongolia between the imperial army and the Soviet army in 1939."

"Of course I remember." Yoshio Iwamatsu nodded, "The imperial army suffered heavy losses in that battle."

The Battle of Nuomenkan was a test of the military strength of the Soviet Union by the Japanese army.

But try and die.

World War I buried the arrogant northward ambitions of the Japanese empire in the deserted Mongolian desert.

Kazuki Yamamoto said: "I personally participated in that battle. It was a contest between will, flesh and blood, steel, and large-scale industrial production. As for the outcome of the battle, I will not say more. The general already knows it. I want to say What’s more interesting is that if the imperial army had been equipped with this anti-tank weapon that was as powerful as a 105mm howitzer in large quantities at that time, the outcome of the battle might have been different.”

He will never forget that in the depths of the unobstructed Gobi, on a front more than ten kilometers wide, hundreds of Soviet tanks came overwhelmingly.

The flying dust swept across the ground, and the tank tracks mercilessly crushed the spirit and body of the Japanese soldiers.

That's why Kazuki Yamamoto is so concerned about this excellent anti-tank weapon.

It was as powerful as a 105mm howitzer, and if it could penetrate reinforced concrete bunkers and gun towers, it would definitely be able to penetrate Soviet tanks as well.

In the development of tanks, Kazuki Yamamoto can't change anything. Japanese tanks are known for their small size and thin skin, and they are definitely not opponents of Soviet tanks.

But you can start with anti-tank individual weapons.

Although some units of the Japanese army are equipped with anti-tank guns and anti-tank guns, the efficiency of anti-tank is relatively low.

The strength of an army should mainly be reflected in its firepower.

Kazuki Yamamoto has seen the world, he has seen the powerful firepower of the German army, and he has also seen the powerful firepower of the Soviet Union on the battlefield.

"Yoshi!" Yoshio Iwamatsu nodded: "Although there is only one picture, the research and development work of the ordnance officer is very difficult, but after all, it is Yamamoto-kun's painstaking efforts, and I will pass it on to the ordnance officer."

"Thank you General!"

Kazuki Yamamoto looked slightly happy, and bowed his head with both feet to show his gratitude.

"If it can be successfully developed, Yamamoto-kun will be a great achievement." Yoshio Iwamatsu said.

"Yamamoto doesn't care about credit, he just hopes that the Imperial Japanese Army can increase its firepower and win the war." Yamamoto's consciousness is very high.

Just as Kazuki Yamamoto was about to turn around and leave the office, Communications Staff Takeo Nakamura hurried in with a telegram.

"Report to the general, Germany has attacked the Soviet Union, Germany has attacked the Soviet Union."

Nakamura Takeo ran while shouting.

"Nani?"

Yoshio Iwamatsu stood up abruptly with an incredulous tone.

Kazuki Yamamoto also turned around suddenly, looking at Takeo Nakamura, his pupils shrank suddenly.

Takeo Nakamura ran to his desk, and just as he bowed his head and paused, the telegram in his hand was taken by Yoshio Iwamatsu.

"Yo Xi!"

Yoshio Iwamatsu looked overjoyed after reading the telegram.

The state of Su in the north secretly supported the national government, provided equipment to the national government, and even sent a small air force to participate in the war at the beginning of the war.

Ever since foreign equipment appeared in the Eighth Route Army, some Japanese military officers speculated that perhaps the aid to the Eighth Route Army was the country of Su.

After all, they are the Communist Party.

If it was true that the Soviet Union was secretly aiding the Eighth Route Army, then if Germany and the Soviet Union went to war, perhaps the Soviet Union would not be able to take care of the Eighth Route Army.

From the perspective of Yoshio Iwamatsu and Kazuki Yamamoto, no matter which direction you look at, this is a good thing for the Japanese army.

……

Dagushan.

Jinsui Army 358 Regiment Headquarters.

Chu Yunfei, Fang Ligong and others also received news that Germany was attacking Su in an all-out way.

However, Chu Yunfei and Fang Ligong only briefly analyzed the international situation.

After all, this is the Chinese battlefield, and they are facing the Japanese army. No matter who wins or loses in Germany or the Soviet Union, it will not affect the Chinese battlefield in a short time.

Fang Ligong adjusted his glasses and said, "Regiment, according to the report of the intelligence personnel, the Xinyi Regiment attacked the Japanese blockade for two consecutive days, destroying many Japanese bunkers and artillery towers, but from the third day, the Xinyi Regiment The regiment stopped attacking, which is not like Li Yunlong's style."

Both Chu Yunfei and Fang Ligong also believed that Li Yunlong would definitely send troops to continue the attack and take down all the bunkers and artillery towers of the Japanese army outside the county.

But the result was far beyond their expectations.

"The Xinyi Regiment's attacking capability was beyond my expectations. With the strength of a regiment, it took down more than 150 Japanese gun towers and bunkers in two nights."

Chu Yunfei stared at the sand table on the table with his hands behind his back, lost in thought.

The simulated sand table is very exquisite, and the real mountains and rivers are clear at a glance. The sand table is the blockade line that the Japanese army spent manpower, money and material resources to block the new regiment.

Judging from the sand table, two-thirds of the bunkers and gun towers of the Japanese army have been pulled out by the Xinyi regiment.

According to the progress of the previous two battles, the rest of the bunkers and gun towers would have to be pulled out in at most one night.

But why did Li Yunlong stop?

Chu Yunfei frowned slightly, puzzled.

"Yes!" Fang Ligong said with emotion: "Nowadays, the weapons and equipment of the Eighth Route Army, especially the weapons and equipment of the Xinyi Regiment, are more sophisticated than those of the Japanese army. Two-thirds of it was pulled out, and the firepower was extremely strong. Could it be that Li Yunlong sensed something was wrong, so he chose to stop?"

Chu Yunfei suddenly asked: "With the strength of the Xinyi Regiment, it should be possible to prevent the 36th Division from building bunkers and artillery towers, right?"

"Not necessarily." Fang Ligong said, "After all, the new regiment of the Eighth Route Army is just a reinforced regiment. Although it has achieved outstanding results and is well-equipped, its strength is not enough to directly compete with an elite division of the Japanese army."

Chu Yunfei said: "But I heard that the Xinyi Regiment is recruiting troops recently?"

Fang Ligong said: "There is indeed information about this, but after all, Li Yunlong and Xinyituan have only been in Northwest Shanxi for more than a month, and they can expand two to three thousand people to reach the sky."

Although the 358th regiment also obtained information that the new regiment was recruiting troops.

However, due to the Japanese blockade, Chu Yunfei and Fang Ligong had no idea how many troops Li Yunlong had expanded.

Chu Yunfei said: "When the Japanese army was building blockhouses and blockhouses, they sent troops to harass and slow down the speed of the Japanese army's construction of blockhouses and blockhouses. The Xinyi Regiment can do it, right?"

"That's fine." Fang Ligong nodded.

"However, Li Yunlong did not send troops to harass, which means that Li Yunlong had already figured out how to control the Japanese army's gun towers and bunkers, and was just waiting for the little devil to build the gun towers and bunkers." Chu Yunfei said, "It seems that Li Yunlong is playing a big game. "

"Next game of big chess?" Fang Ligong was taken aback, "What big chess?"

"Of course it is to eat the 36th Division."

Chu Yunfei looked at the county seat on the sand table and said with deep eyes.

"Eat the 36th Division? How is it possible?" Fang Ligong lost his voice

"Don't think it's impossible." Chu Yunfei said, "You know, seven officers above the general rank of the Japanese army died at the hands of Li Yunlong. Li Yunlong is very ambitious. Don't you see it, Li Yunlong? They deliberately waited for the Japanese army to repair the bunkers and gun towers, and then wiped out the vital forces of the 36th Division outside the county town before attacking the county town."

"However, the strength of his reinforced regiment is too small. How could it possibly eat up the 36th Division? The 36th Division has almost eaten up the Xinyi Regiment." Fang Ligong still did not believe that the Xinyi Regiment could eat up the Japanese elite division.

"What if we add the 358th Regiment, the Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army and the New Second Regiment?" Chu Yunfei asked.

The 358th regiment was not far from the county seat, but after the 36th division arrived in Northwest Shanxi, it devoted all its attention to dealing with the new regiment, without even looking at the 358th regiment.

The Japanese army completely ignored the 358th regiment of the Jinsui Army.

Chu Yunfei also has a temper.

His new regiment of the Eighth Route Army is the ace regiment. Isn't my 358th regiment of the Jinsui Army not the ace regiment?
Although the 36th Division of the Japanese Army can defeat the 358th Regiment with only one infantry regiment, this does not prevent Chu Yunfei from being very angry.

If the new regiment really wants to attack the 36th division, he, Chu Yunfei, will definitely help out.

So that the devils know that the 358th regiment of the Jinsui Army is not easy to mess with.

While helping the venue, you can also ask Brother Yunlong for some American equipment.

Chu Yunfei didn't feel ashamed to ask because he didn't help at Baozi Mountain last time.

In the Battle of Baozi Mountain, after seeing the Fourth Battalion of the New First Regiment beat up the Japanese 3rd Brigade with all American equipment, Chu Yunfei became more and more fond of American equipment.
