Chapter 672 Kuroda Shigetoku: Our division is unimpeded!
on the top of the mountain.

The former enemy headquarters of the Eighth Route Army.

Watching tanks, armored vehicles and cavalry rolling back and forth repeatedly in the encirclement, harvesting the lives of the devils like iron rolling.

Until a few hours later, there were not many living devils.

Although there are still sporadic battles erupting, they are not many, and it won't be long before the battle is completely over.

It was still dark at this time, looking at the ghost corpses all over the ground in the field of vision of the artillery team mirror, and the densely packed shell craters.

Li Yunlong was full of pride and emotion in his heart, but it was a pity that the ink in his stomach was really limited, not to mention his own poems, and he couldn't even read a line of other people's poems.

"This iron rolling mopping tactic is really powerful."

Looking at the battlefield of Nuoda, Ding Wei commented: "Okamura Ningji is a bit formidable."

The battle, which was expected to end from half a day to a day, was almost over in just a few hours.

At the beginning.

Both Ding Wei and Kong Jie had doubts about this tactic. After all, it was the first time Li Yunlong used this tactic, but they still believed in Li Yunlong unconditionally.

To be honest, Li Yunlong himself was a little discouraged by this tactic, but luckily the result did not disappoint him.

Although cavalry, tanks, and armored vehicles suffered casualties, and some armored vehicles and tanks were blown up by the devil's meat bombs, the casualties were within an acceptable range.

The armor protection of tanks and armored vehicles is very good, and the casualties of tank soldiers and armored soldiers are not large.

The tanks and armored vehicles destroyed in the battle can be reported to Boss Chen for reimbursement.

The most important thing is that in the battle with the Class A division, the reimbursement for heavy weapons such as tanks and artillery was doubled.

Moreover, by destroying or capturing a Devil car, tank or armored vehicle, the new regiment can obtain a car, tank or armored vehicle.

This business is customized according to the standards of the second-line division. Destroying and capturing one Devil car, tank or armored vehicle of the Type A division can get two cars, tanks or armored vehicles.

The same is true for cannons with a caliber of less than 150mm. If you destroy and capture a devil's 75mm mountain cannon, you can get two American 75mm mountain cannons.

In the field of view of the artillery team, I saw the burning and destroyed Devils cars, tanks and armored vehicles.

There are still some tanks and armored vehicles that have not been destroyed, and they can still be used if they are captured, and the captured ones can still be sold.

Those devil cars that were not destroyed were filled with combat supplies.

The corners of Li Datuan's mouth turned up slightly, the new regiment made a fortune in this battle!
Hearing Ding Wei's words, Li Yunlong came back to his senses and asked, "Old Ding, what did you just say?"

"I said." Ding Wei said, "Ningji Okamura is a bit of an old devil. There are not many people who can come up with this kind of tactics and make me think that he is powerful, and this old devil Okamura is one of them."

Ding Wei is also an arrogant person.

However, seeing Li Yunlong's silly expression just now, the corner of his mouth couldn't help but twitch slightly.

This kid is still that virtuous.

Now commanding the main force of the 5th Route Army to fight, in addition to planes, tanks and heavy artillery, destroying and seizing some altars and pots, let this kid be happy.

No matter how rich he is, the pickiness in this kid's bones may never be changed in this life.

"Ningji Okamura is an old devil."

Li Datuan's tone was disdainful: "No matter how powerful this old devil is, he was played around by us. Maybe that old devil Neji Okamura is really Boss Chen's senior agent."

Of course, Li Yunlong was joking.

Okamura Ningji still has something, otherwise he would not be the commander of the North China Front Army, and even became the commander-in-chief of the Chinese Expeditionary Army later.

However, it is also true that Neiji Okamura is being played around.

Kong Jie curled his lips: "If it weren't for the weapons, ammunition and information provided by Boss Chen, what would you use to fight Neji Okamura?"

"Ningji Okamura has nearly 20 elite Japanese troops in his hands."

"Humph."

"As for your old new regiment, Neiji Okamura randomly sent out a second-line division, and wiped you out."

"I said you are a fool of Kong Er." Li Yunlong scolded, "Where the hell are you from? How can you improve the morale of the enemy and destroy your own prestige?"

"Old Li." Kong Jie quickly explained, "I didn't mean that..."

At this moment, a telegram came over with the telegram in his hand, and saluted Li Yunlong with a snap:
"Reporting to the head of the regiment, Jinchaji Military Region, telegram from the 2nd Independent Brigade."

Li Yunlong took a look at the telegram and said, "The 2nd Independent Brigade has withdrawn from the ambush position to a safe area."

Although the equipment of the 2nd Brigade has been strengthened, it mainly uses Japanese equipment, and the artillery firepower is not strong. It is definitely not the opponent of the 26th Division.

What's more, there is also a heavy artillery unit in Datong.

In the beginning, the task of the 2nd Independent Brigade was to block the 26th Division for a few hours.

However, there have been some changes in the battlefield situation here. The devils escaped thousands of people and headed towards Datong, so the 2nd Brigade had to evacuate.

"Since there is no independent 2nd Brigade to attack." Zhao Gang put down the binoculars and said, "Calculating the time, the 26th Division should be here soon, right?"

The straight-line distance of the entire ambush battlefield is about 7 kilometers.

However, the road is not a straight line, there are many curves, so the total length exceeds 10 kilometers.

Xinyi regiment could retreat now, but Li Yunlong was reluctant to take these captures.

Of the more than 1 trucks of the 800st Division, it is estimated that only half of them came, and some of them were destroyed, but about half of the trucks were not destroyed.

These trucks are filled with combat supplies.

In addition, the weapons and equipment of the soldiers of the 1st Division are also top-notch in the Japanese army. After cleaning the battlefield, these weapons, ammunition, and combat supplies can be transported back to equip the militia with tens of thousands of people.

Why tens of thousands of people?

Because one gun is enough for a few militiamen.

"It should be here soon." Li Yunlong looked at his watch with a stern expression, "Let's go meet the 26th Division for a while."

After speaking, Li Yunlong led the crowd down the mountain, and then the former enemy headquarters also began to move.

……

After receiving the order from the North China Front Army Command.

Kuroda Shigetoku, head of the 26th Division, led the 26th Division, the Suzuki Wing and the 6th Heavy Artillery Wing to march all the way.

It took a full four hours, and finally approached the ambush site.

There are still six kilometers away from the ambush site.

Shigetoku Kuroda and Mitsuo Nakazawa were sitting in an armored vehicle. At this time, the armored vehicle was parked on the side of the road, and a combat staff officer reported to Shigetoku Kuroda:

"Report to the head of the division. The 1st Infantry Battalion is 2 kilometers ahead and found the enemy's ambush position, but the enemy has already left. The 1st Battalion Commander Yamada Shaozuo judged that the enemy left for more than 2 hours, with a strength of no less than 5 people."

After Mitsuo Nakazawa returned to the airport by plane, he caught up by car again.

The command of the Suzuki Regiment and the 6th Heavy Artillery Regiment was taken back from Shigetoku Kuroda.

In order to prevent being ambushed, Shigetoku Kuroda sent an infantry brigade to explore the way ahead.

According to the combat habits of the Eighth Route Army, the devils all know that in addition to keeping the reserve team without permission, the Eighth Route Army will also send troops to fight against it.

With such a large formation, the Eight Route Army must send the main force to fight against it.

"The eight-way attack and blocking troops have left? What's going on?"

Mitsuo Nakazawa frowned suddenly, feeling a bad feeling in his heart. Could it be that the battle is over?
Have the soldiers of the besieged 1st Division been wiped out?
"Nakazawa-kun, don't worry."

Seeing this, Shigetoku Kuroda comforted him and said: "It is possible that the blocking Eighth Route Army heard that my 26th Division had arrived and ran away in fright. ?”

At noon yesterday, Kuroda Shigetoku was still telling Mitsuo Nakazawa that once the 1st Division encountered any situation in Northwest Shanxi, the 26th Division would be able to reinforce it at any time.

Unfortunately, Shigetoku Kuroda was right in his words, and the 1st Division needed reinforcements from the 26th Division the next day.

Kuroda Shigetoku was also extremely afraid of Li Yunlong and the Eighth Route Army in Northwest Shanxi.

In this cold weather, people can freeze to death outside, but the Eighth Route Army can even dispatch 5 people to ambush?
outrageous.

Seeing Mitsuo Nakazawa still looking gloomy, Shigetoku Kuroda said again:

"There are at least 2 locust soldiers in the ambush circle. These locust soldiers are the most elite warriors in the empire."

"I believe they will not be eliminated so easily by the Eight Routes."

"Mr. Zhongze, you have to cheer up and lead the locust army of the 1st Division to rescue them."

Kuroda Shigetoku secretly thought, even if it is 2 pigs, it is impossible to kill them so quickly, right?

What's more, that is the elite among the elite of more than 2 locust soldiers.

One of the three Devils reconnaissance planes heading to the battlefield was shot down, and the other two reconnaissance planes had already fled for fear of being shot down.

So neither Mitsuo Nakazawa nor Shigetoku Kuroda knew that the battle was drawing to a close.

Sanfu Nakazawa glanced at Shigetoku Kuroda speechlessly, standing and talking without pain in the back, and the soldiers in the ambush circle are not the soldiers of your 26th Division. If you are the soldiers of your 26th Division, you are more anxious than me.

"Kuroda-kun." Mitsuo Nakazawa said coldly, "Stop talking nonsense and move on."

At this moment, two telecommunications soldiers came to the armored vehicle with a radio on their backs, and reported to Kuroda Shigetoku:

"Division commander, Okamura Ning, the commander of the North China Front Army, wants to talk to you personally."

"Nani?" Shigetoku Kuroda was taken aback suddenly. It is rare for General Neiji Okamura to speak to the Lieutenant General of the division head in person.

Shigetoku Kuroda immediately stepped off the armored vehicle, put the microphone to his mouth with one hand, and put the receiver to his ear with the other:

"Moshi Moshi, Your Excellency General, I am Shigetoku Kuroda, commander of the 26th Division!"

"Kuroda-kun, where have you all been?"

"Was it blocked by the Eighth Route Army?"

Neiji Okamura's deep and deep voice came from the receiver, but because of the distance, the signal was not very good, and the voice was intermittent.

"Your Excellency, Commander, the Eighth Route Blocking Force has been frightened away upon hearing that our division has come for reinforcements."

"At present, the vanguard of our division is less than 7 kilometers away from the battlefield."

"My division is unimpeded! Unimpeded!"

Shigetoku Kuroda straightened his back and had a very respectful attitude.

Even his immediate superior, Lieutenant General Amakasu Shigetaro, commander of the Garrison in Mongolia, was respectful when facing Ningji Okamura.

"Yo Xi!"

Neiji Okamura said:
"Order your division to rush to the battlefield immediately, but you must pay attention to reconnaissance, and don't be ambushed by the Eighth Route Army like the 1st division."

"Hi! Hi!"

Kuroda Shigetoku suddenly lowered his head twice to the radio station, and only handed the receiver and microphone to the telegraph soldier until he could no longer hear the voice in the receiver.

"What did Commander Okamura say?" Mitsuo Nakazawa asked.

"Commander Okamura ordered our troops to rush to the battlefield immediately." Shigetoku Kuroda replied.

Then, Shigetoku Kuroda looked at the communications staff officer on the side, and said coldly: "The order is that the 1st Infantry Battalion will speed up and move forward. Be sure to pay attention to reconnaissance, so as not to be ambushed by the Eighth Route Army."

"Hi!"

The communications officer suddenly bowed his head.

……

Shigetoku Kuroda and Ningji Okamura did not know.

Their conversation just now has been monitored by Xinyituan's radio station.

Because the two old devils talked in Japanese and did not use secret language, and it was very close to the headquarters of the new regiment.

Although the fighters in the new group monitoring the radio were fluent in Japanese, they roughly heard what the two old devils said.

The telegraph soldier immediately reported the situation to Chief of Staff Wang Dehou.

Afterwards, Wang Dehou reported to Li Yunlong: "Regimental Commander, just now the telegraph soldiers overheard the radio conversation between Neiji Okamura, Commander of the North China Front Army, and Shigetoku Kuroda, Commander of the 26th Division."

"Oh?" Li Yunlong's eyes lit up, and he asked, "Have you heard any valuable information?"

"That's not true." Wang Dehou said, "Oh, by the way, Neiji Okamura and Shigetoku Kuroda don't seem to know that the main force of the 1st Division has been wiped out, and the 26th Division is continuing to reinforce. Shigetoku Kuroda said on the radio, It's less than 7 kilometers away from here."

Li Yunlong took the map from Huzi's hand and looked at it, and soon found the current location of the 26th Division on the map.

"Here." Li Yunlong clicked on the map, "The 26th Division should be here, are the artillery groups ready to welcome the 26th Division?"

In this battle, only 5 regiment-level artillery units were used.

They are the Heavy Artillery Battalion, Artillery 1 Battalion, and Artillery 2 Battalion of the New First Regiment, as well as the Artillery Battalion of the Independent Regiment and the Artillery Battalion of the New Second Regiment.

75毫米以上的山炮、榴弹炮和火炮超过200门，60毫米和82毫米火炮更是超过600门。

This artillery density is not even worse than that of the European battlefield.

After the ambush of the main force of the 1st Division, it is no longer possible to ambush the 26th Division, but Li Yunlong has already ordered that all troops prepare to face the 26th Division.

If it was just the 26th Division, there would be no need for such a large formation.

In addition to the 26th Division, the Japanese troops who came to reinforce them also included the Heavy Artillery Regiment of the 1st Division, the Suzuki Regiment, and the thousands of devils who escaped.

In order to buy time for the troops to clean up the battlefield, the Eighth Route Army had to fight the remnants of the 26th Division and the 1st Division.

"All artillery groups are ready."

Wang Dehou nodded:
"The 10 battalions of our regiment have already moved forward, and the observers of each artillery group have arrived at the commanding heights of the nearby mountain peaks to guide the artillery groups to fire."

"Once the devils from the 26th Division appear, they will be directly exposed to our artillery fire."

"very good."

Li Yunlong nodded with a satisfied expression. Boss Chen reimbursed the shells, and the artillerymen only needed to fire with their lives.
