I am helping

Chapter 479 Getting rich again!
Outside Heyuan County.

The battalion commander of the third division, Yang Jiuping, held a command saber in his hand, walked into the headquarters of the Xinyi Regiment with a smile on his face, and saluted Li Yunlong with a snap: "Report to the regiment commander, a general officer's saber has been seized!"

Then, Yang Jiuping handed the lieutenant general's command knife to Li Yunlong.

Li Yunlong took over the command saber and looked at it, his expression couldn't help being slightly happy.

Commanding swords for warriors above the general level are all bestowed by the Heavenly Locust, which is a symbol of honor and status.

The difference between the samurai sword lies in the handle. The color of the inside of the sword is golden. The handle is made of ivory, and there are special decorative patterns on the gold. The higher the level, the more delicate these patterns are. .

Li Yunlong, who had seized several general officer's knives, naturally recognized it was indeed a general officer's knife at a glance.

In the 36th Division, there is only one officer above the rank of general, and that is the commander of the division, Jing Guanren.

"It is indeed a general officer's sword!" Li Yunlong put the blade back into the scabbard, and looked at Battalion Commander Yang, "Xiao Yang, this battle was well fought. I just saw it. Your soldiers from the third division fought well."

Yang Jiuping didn't mean to be greedy for merit, and said, "If it weren't for the cooperation of the machine artillery battalion, the air defense battalion, and the heavy machine gun battalion, it would be hard to say."

Li Yunlong nodded in satisfaction: "Where's that old devil Jing Guanren, is he dead?"

"The dead can't die anymore." Yang Jiuping said with a grin, "I've been shot by two 105mm shells, and I'm dead."

Although when the shells fell, the guards pressed Jing Guanren under him.

But the impact point of the two 2mm shells was very close to Jing Guanren, and the guards went to see Amaterasu together with Jing Guanren, leaving only this general sword.

A trace of pity appeared on Li Yunlong's face. It would be a great joy if he could capture a devil lieutenant general alive.

It is acceptable not to be captured alive, after all, the lieutenant general was killed, and the transaction price has already been obtained.

Another lieutenant general is killed this time, what price can Brother Chen offer?
A look of expectation appeared on Li Yunlong's face.

"Xiao Yang, order the soldiers to speed up and clean up the battlefield!" Li Yunlong ordered, "The auto soldiers will come over later, and drive the seriously wounded to the rear field hospital."

"Yes!" Yang Jiuping straightened up, turned and left.

The battle is not over yet, there are still many devils in the city insisting on street fighting with the new regiment.

Moreover, Ding Wei and Kong Jie are also leading their troops to attack Ping'an County and Anhua County. The battle in Northwest Shanxi is still at least one day away from the end of the battle.

This is much faster than the expected two to three days to end the battle.

The main reason is that Jing Guanren, an old devil, chose to lead his troops to break out from the direction with the strongest firepower of the Xinyi regiment, which happened to hit machine guns and anti-aircraft guns.

The devil's vitality was wiped out, and the battle was naturally a lot easier.

Li Yunlong looked at Wang Dehou: "Chief of Staff, immediately report to the headquarters that the Xinyi Regiment has wiped out most of the 36th Division of the Japanese Army. Continue to cooperate, buy us another day, and end the battle in one day!"

"Yes!" Wang Dehou straightened his body, then took out a pen and paper and began to draft a telegram.

After Wang Dehou drew up the telegram, he showed it to Li Yunlong. After Li Yunlong read it, there was no problem. After signing Li Yunlong, Wang Dehou asked the telegrapher to send it to the headquarters.

……

Japanese First Army Command.

Immediately afterwards, a telegram came that the reinforcements of the 222nd Regiment had been completely wiped out, and the captain of the 223rd Regiment, Naoyasu Yoshino, and a squadron fled back to Ping'an County.

Yoshio Yansong's face was ugly: "Baga, what is this idiot Jing Guanren doing? Li Yunlong in Northwest Shanxi launched such a big battle, and he didn't notice it at all?"

The 36th Division is coming to an end, and Yoshio Iwamatsu doesn't want to take the responsibility for the annihilation of the 36th Division, so he puts all the responsibility on Iseki Ren, who has a high probability of being broken.

Hua Guzheng said suddenly: "It's all Miyazaki-kun's fault!"

"Blame me?" Masao Miyazaki looked stunned: "Have you lost your mind and gone crazy, Mr. Hanaya?"

"Don't blame you, who do you blame?" Hua Guzheng snorted coldly, "It's you who said that the main force of the Eighth Route Army went north to cooperate with the Central Army of China to attack Zhongtiao Mountain, but so far, the Central Army has only launched a landing operation at the ferry. , the Eighth Route Army along the Bai-Jin line did not move."

"The actions of the Eighth Route in the southeast of Shanxi and the Central Army clearly cover the Tuba Route in the northwest of Shanxi to attack the 36th Division."

"Because of your erroneous analysis, Your Excellency the Division Chief transferred the main force of the 41st Division to southern Shanxi."

"Otherwise, if the 41st Division and the 3rd Brigade reinforce the 36th Division, the 36th Division will never be defeated by the Eight Route Army, and Lieutenant General Jing Guanren will not be crushed."

Yoshio Iwamatsu's face was gloomy. He turned his head to look at Masao Miyazaki with a look of dissatisfaction in his eyes.

If the main force of the 41st Division hadn't been transferred to southern Shanxi to strengthen the defense line at the Yellow River Ferry, the main force of the 41st Division must have arrived in Northwest Shanxi by now.

Now that I think about it, the mobilization of troops by the Eighth Route Army and the shipbuilding of the Central Army are probably all smoke bombs.

The real strategic intention of the Chinese army is to eat up the 36th Division!

Baga, you got caught!

Masao Miyazaki suddenly saw the indifference in the eyes of Yoshio Iwamatsu looking at him, he felt a chill in his heart, he might become a villain, and retorted: "Didn't Hanagu-kun agree with the situation I analyzed at that time?" ?”

Hua Guzheng asked: "When did I agree? After you finished the analysis, I didn't say anything."

"Silence means agreement." Masao Miyazaki said coldly, "Besides, hasn't Mr. Hanagu analyzed the true strategic intentions of the Chinese people?"

Hua Guzheng retorted: "At least I didn't analyze the wrong information to the commander!"

"Since Hanagu-kun thinks there is a problem with my analysis." Masao Miyazaki asked, "Why didn't you point it out at the time, why didn't General Shimizu stop him when he led the main force of the 41st Division to the south of Shanxi? Now that things have happened, What is your intention to stand up and make an afterthought?"

Hanagu was furious: "Baga, Miyazaki-kun, your conscience..."

"Ba Ga, stop arguing!"

Commander Yoshio Iwamatsu slapped the table suddenly and shouted:

"The battles in Northwest Shanxi and Yangquan are still going on, and the soldiers of the imperial army are still fighting against Tuba Road on the front line. As generals, you are arguing at the headquarters. It is a shame to the Empire of Japan!"

"Hi!" Masao Hanagu and Masao Miyazaki nodded in unison, their expressions frightened.

Yoshio Iwamatsu said: "Although the head of the Jingguan division may have already pledged his allegiance to His Majesty Tianlocust, there are still imperial troops continuing to fight in the northwest of Shanxi. We must not let them go."

"Order the 14th Brigade to take the train to Xinzhou immediately, and then rush to Northwest Shanxi immediately to reinforce the 36th Division!"

"Your Excellency, Commander." Hua Guzheng was slightly startled and worried, "The 14th Brigade has gone to Northwest Shanxi, what if the Eighth Route attacks Taiyuan?"

The 14th Brigade has two full-strength wings, and their combat effectiveness is not weak. If these two wings are transferred to Northwest Shanxi, Taiyuan will be in danger.

Yoshio Yanmatsu said: "I have made up my mind. I will send the spare weapons to the engineering unit and the logistics unit of the 41st Division. I don't believe that the Tuba Road really dares to attack Taiyuan!"

At this time, Yoshio Iwamatsu also saw that the main force of the Eight Routes in the Taigu area was just bluffing and did not intend to really attack Taiyuan.

"Hi!" Hua Guzheng had no choice but to pause, and then walked out quickly to deliver the order.

Watching Hanagu leave, Yoshio Iwamatsu originally wanted to invent a coded telegram to sternly condemn Li Yunlong, but actually used anti-aircraft firepower against infantry, which is simply disrespectful of martial arts.

Although killing ordinary people and prisoners indiscriminately is a routine operation for the Japanese army.

But from the perspective of Japanese military officers, our Locust Army of the Great Japanese Empire can violate it, but your Chinese army must abide by it.

Yoshio Iwamatsu thought about it or let it go.

The Invention Code telegraph test severely condemned Li Yunlong's behavior as nothing more than self-inflicted humiliation. On the contrary, it will make the Chinese people like Li Yunlong more, and it will also cause General Okamura to be disappointed in him.

……

Compared with the First Army Command, it was gloomy.

At this time, the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army was full of joy and laughter, and the combat staff applauded thunderously.

The telegram sent by Li Yunlong has already reached the head of the headquarters. After the boss and the chief of staff read it, the smiles on their faces could no longer be restrained.

"I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it." The boss praised, "On the second day, the Xinyi Regiment killed most of the troops of the Jingguan Division, and killed the division commander Jing Guanren, as well as Onomura and In the Guangou ambush, Ding Wei and Kong Jie also commanded beautifully!"

"Beautiful, this battle was fought beautifully!" The chief of staff folded his arms and said happily, "Mr. Liu and Chen Geng should be informed of the good news immediately."

"Well, in addition to notifying the teacher and Chen Geng, YA must be notified immediately." The boss also said happily, "In addition, we must immediately send a telegram to reward the three regiments in Northwest Shanxi. In addition to the rewards, tell Li Yunlong to kill them as soon as possible." The remnants of the 36th Division!"

The boss and chief of staff were puzzled, although they didn't know how Xinyituan managed to kill Jing Guanren in such a short time.

However, this is undoubtedly great news. The remnants of the 36th Division of the Japanese Army, which lost the command system, can only fall into the embarrassing situation of fighting on their own.

The battlefield initiative in Northwest Shanxi has been firmly in the hands of the Eighth Route Army.

The chief of staff quickly drew up several telegrams, and the boss signed them after reading them, and then asked the telegraph operator to send them out.

"At this time, Yoshio Iwamatsu must have known our strategic intentions."

The boss looked at the map and said in a deep voice.

The chief of staff smiled slightly: "But it's too late, the 36th Division has been severely damaged, Jing Guanren is dead, and Li Yunlong's business has also been completed."

Both the boss and the chief of staff knew the price of assistance for the attack on the 36th Division.

As before, 1000 tons of weapons and ammunition, 1000 tons of food, and the assistance price for killing the lieutenant general and division head are calculated separately.

This order of aid is already half of the deal.

In addition, Wei Lihuang, chief of the first war zone, learned that the main force of the 41st Division of the Japanese Army was reinforcing southern Shanxi, so he did not intend to forcibly cross the Yellow River. There is no chance, just treat it as a river crossing combat exercise.

The boss nodded and said in a happy tone, "Haha, it seems that our Eighth Route Army is going to make another fortune!"
