I am helping

Chapter 674 Remember to congratulate Li Yunlong for getting rich!
Northern Shaanxi.

Qiulin Town.

Jinsui Army War Hall.

"What's the current situation?"

Under the protection of several elite guards, Yan Xishan, the commander of the second war zone, walked quickly into the war room, glanced around at everyone and asked.

"Report to the Commander."

A combat staff officer snapped a military salute to Yan Xishan: "Currently, the 41st Division of the Japanese Army and the 1st Cavalry Brigade have retreated."

"Oh?" Yan Xishan's eyes lit up slightly, "The Japanese army was repelled by our army?"

"It wasn't that the Japanese army was repelled, it was the Japanese army that retreated on its own initiative." The combat staff replied: "According to inside information, the Eighth Route Army ambushed the main force of the Japanese 1st Division in northwest Shanxi. It is estimated that the 41st Division and the 1st Cavalry Brigade will withdraw. Go to reinforce the 1st Division."

"What are you talking about?" Yan Xishan suddenly opened his eyes wide, "The Eighth Route Army ambushed the main force of the 1st Division?"

"Yes!"

The combat staff officer replied affirmatively.

Yan Xishan asked: "Why didn't you report such a big matter to me?"

The combat staff officer said with a bit of fear: "Commander, you were taking a nap just now, so... you didn't dare to disturb."

Yan Xishan gave the combat staff officer a hard look, and asked, "Is there any battle situation in Northwest Shanxi now?"

"Not yet." The combat staff replied, "But the intelligence department is already doing its best to collect intelligence on the battlefield in Northwest Shanxi."

"How long has the Japanese army retreated?" Yan Xishan asked.

"About more than two hours." The combat staff replied, without Yan Xishan's order, the various departments of the Jinsui Army would not dare to pursue rashly, and it would be miserable if they were ambushed by the Japanese army.

"More than 2 hours..."

"Is there any movement from the Eighth Route Army in Southeast Shanxi?"

Yan Xishan squinted his eyes and thought for a while and asked.

"Commander, according to the latest information." The intelligence officer on the side replied, "The 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army in Southeast Shanxi is gathering, and the target is unknown."

This time, the main force of the Eighth Route Army in southeast Shanxi did not assemble secretly, but assembled and marched swaggeringly.

It was deliberately done for the devils to see, so the intelligence department of the Jinsui Army also received relevant information.

Yan Xishan narrowed his eyes again: "The Eighth Route Army is definitely going to attack Taiyuan and Yangquan, and support Li Yunlong in Northwest Shanxi."

"Pass my order!"

"The 4th Cavalry Division and all infantry divisions will immediately advance towards Taiyuan."

"If the Eighth Route Army wants to attack Taiyuan, our Jinsui Army will help out!"

Yan Xishan spoke harshly.

Several staff officers looked at each other with surprised expressions on their faces.

Did you hear me wrong?

Commander Yan actually wants to take the initiative to attack the Japanese army?
In the past, when the Eighth Route Army and the Jinsui Army fought lively in Northwest and Southeast Shanxi, Yan Xishan never helped anyone.

It kind of means that you are strong, you are strong, and the breeze blows the hills.

Although he failed to reap the benefits of being a fisherman, Yan Xishan was also happy to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight.

Especially after the Eighth Route Army has grown stronger in the past two years, large-scale battles with the Japanese army have become more frequent.

But this time the Japanese army took the initiative to attack the Jinsui army, which also angered Yan Xishan.

Since Yoshio Yanmatsu is unkind, don't blame me, Yan, for being unrighteous!
Even if Taiyuan cannot be taken down, Yan Xishan has to show his attitude, you little devil, if you dare to attack the Jinsui Army, then I, Yan, will not let you have a good time, little devil.

"All Jinsui troops attack?" The combat staff officer was slightly taken aback.

"What?" Yan Xishan's sharp eyes swept over and asked, "Is there any problem?"

"no problem!"

The combat staff officer straightened up hurriedly, turned around and walked towards the telecommunications room.

……

Southeast Shanxi.

Liao County.

Eighth Route Army Headquarters.

As soon as the battle started in the northwest of Shanxi, even the air in the southeast of Shanxi smelled of gunpowder.

At present, the main forces of the 129th Division and the 386th Brigade have gathered and moved towards Taiyuan and Yangquan along the Baijin Road and the Heliao Highway to prevent the main force of the First Army from going north to reinforce the 1st Division.

The 41st Division of the First Army and the 1st Cavalry Brigade are retreating from Luliang Mountain.

The number of Japanese troops stationed in Taiyuan was just over 1, and the 37th Division stationed in Yangquan was only about 1.

Last time, the 37th Division of the Japanese Army was killed by the Xinyi Regiment with more than 4000 people, and it was still a combat force. The people killed were elites, so the 37th Division only had about 1 people.

At this time, the personnel of the Eighth Route Army headquarters were busy, and the radio station in the telegraph room was beeping non-stop.

The telegrams of the various military regions assembled on standby were sent to the headquarters.

However, the head of the headquarters is most concerned about the situation in Northwest Shanxi.

"According to information."

"The 26th Division of the Japanese Army and a part of the 1st Division have set off from Datong for four hours to reinforce northwest of Shanxi."

"Li Yunlong arranged for the 2nd Independent Brigade and 2 to 3 battalions to stop the Japanese reinforcements."

In the war room, the chief of staff is reporting the current situation to the head of the headquarters.

"How many troops does the 26th Division add to the 1st Division?"

The chief nodded and asked with a solemn face.

The chief of staff replied: "The strength of the 26th Division is about 1 people, and the strength of a part of the 5st Division is an infantry regiment, plus a heavy artillery regiment, with a total of more than 1 troops."

"2 people?"

"There is a heavy artillery regiment?"

The chief squinted his eyes, frowned slightly, and said in a worried tone:

"Then this battle..."

Although Li Yunlong sent the 2nd Brigade and three battalions to fight against it, the enemy has a heavy artillery regiment, plus the artillery regiment of the 26th Division.

That is 2 artillery regiments, and the artillery firepower of the 2nd Brigade alone is not strong, how can it withstand the artillery firepower of the devil reinforcements?

"If the place where the 2nd Independent Brigade strikes is not far from the battlefield." The chief of staff stared at the map and said, "Then the artillery firepower of the Artillery Battalion of the New First Regiment, the Independent Regiment, and the New Second Regiment should be able to support the Second Independent Brigade."

Although the head of the headquarters agreed to Li Yunlong's battle plan.

However, the details of the battle plan can be summed up in tens of thousands of words, and it is impossible to send them by telegram.

So the head of the headquarters didn't know where the 2nd Independent Brigade was going to block the attack, and Li Yunlong was going to use the iron roll mopping tactics to clean up the devils in the ambush circle.

Judging from the current situation, the situation of the ambush troops of the Eighth Route Army in Northwest Shanxi is not particularly good.

Once the 26th Division and part of the 1st Division of the Japanese Army break through the defense line of the 2nd Brigade, the Japanese reinforcements will be able to join the main force of the 1st Division.

In this way, it will be difficult for the Eighth Route Army to eliminate the main force of the 1st Division.

after all.

This is nearly 3 Japanese elites in the encirclement. It is definitely not that easy to eliminate these nearly 3 Japanese troops.

Even if it was 3 pigs, Li Yunlong and the others couldn't finish killing them in a short time, not to mention that this was nearly 3 elite Japanese soldiers.

Moreover, less than 5 people ambushed nearly 3 people, and there are not so many troops.

Just when the head of the headquarters was worried about Li Yunlong and the others, a telegraph soldier of the headquarters walked in quickly with a telegram in his hand.

He gave a military salute with a slap: "Report to the chief, the new regiment Jiedian!"

"Jiedian?" The chief was taken aback for a moment, thinking he had heard it wrong, and asked again, "Jiedian or Jidian?"

"I'm sorry, chief, I made a mistake." The telegraph soldier hurriedly said, "It's good news!"

"Good news?"

The expressions on the faces of the chief and the chief of staff were suspicious.

It's only a few hours before the start of the war, where is the good news?

"Read!"

The Chief waved his hand and said.

"Yes!" The telegraph soldier picked up the telegram and read: "At 1 o'clock in the afternoon, our department was ordered to ambush the 1st Division of the Japanese Army. Except for more than 5 Japanese troops who fled, after nearly 5 hours of fighting, we wiped out all 2 soldiers in the encirclement. More than [-] Japanese soldiers, and repelled the Japanese reinforcements, captured quite a lot, Li Yunlong, the former commander-in-chief of the Northwest Shanxi Army."

"What?" The chief was a little unbelievable, "So... the battle is over?"

The chief of staff added: "Not only is the battle over, but the devil's reinforcements have also been repelled."

In the chief of staff's expression and eyes, there is also a deep sense of disbelief.

Even though more than 5 Japanese troops escaped, there were still more than 2 Japanese troops in the encirclement, and they were wiped out in a few hours?

Is this too fast?
The chief regained his composure in an instant: "Immediately send a telegram to Li Yunlong, confirm with him, and ask him how he did it?"

The chief of staff drew up a telegram, and after the chief signed his name, he handed it over to the telegraph soldier and sent it out.

About half an hour later, the telegraph soldier walked in again with the telegram, and saluted with a snap:
"Report to the chief, Captain Li has called back."

This time, the chief personally took the telegram from the telegraph soldier and read it.

After reading the telegram, the chief's face showed the original expression: "So it is like this, I said how did more than 2 Japanese elites be killed so quickly."

"What is it?" The chief of staff had an extremely curious look on his face. He really couldn't imagine that the Eighth Route Army in Northwest Shanxi wiped out more than 2 elite Japanese troops within a few hours.

After a pause, the chief of staff asked again: "Could it be that Li Yunlong called for air support?"

Apart from this, the chief of staff can't think of any other way for the time being.

Unless that Boss Chen provided air support, 30 bombers and 10 fighters could kill a full Japanese regiment in a few minutes.

Fifty or sixty fighter jets and twenty or thirty bombers were dispatched, and almost 1 devils were killed in one round.

Then the hundreds of cannons of the Eighth Route Army in Northwest Shanxi made such a bombardment, and the infantry pressed up to settle the battle.

In this way, it is possible to resolve the battle within a few hours.

"That's not true." The chief laughed, "Li Yunlong, this kid, used the tactics invented by that old devil Neji Okamura this time."

"The tactics invented by Neiji Okamura?" The chief of staff was taken aback, "What tactics?"

The chief asked: "Dude, do you still remember the big raid on our Jizhong Military Region initiated by Neiji Okamura a few months ago?"

"Iron Rolling Sweeping Tactics?" The chief of staff showed a hint of reminiscence at first, and then suddenly said, "Li Yunlong used Iron Rolling Sweeping Tactics?"

"That's right!"

"Li Yunlong first surrounded the devil's main force of the 1st Division with the main force of infantry, and then used cavalry, tanks and armored vehicles to roll back and forth within the encirclement."

"Although the battle line was too long, more than 5000 devils escaped from the encirclement."

"However, the reserve team blocked the gap in time, fired more than 800 artillery pieces, and then used iron rolling mopping tactics to wipe out the remnants of the enemy within a few hours."

After reading the telegram, the head of the telegram, one by one the content of the telegram sent by Li Yunlong.

The battle line is too long, and the terrain is not suitable for large-scale ambushes. There is no way for thousands of people to be run away by the enemy.

The chief and the chief of staff did not blame Li Yunlong for this.

Because eating the main force of the 1st Division is already an extremely rare victory.

The Eighth Route Army used 105 regiments and 20 troops to fight in the Hundred Regiments War. After several months of fighting, they only killed more than 2 devils.

But now, within a few hours, more than 2 devils have been killed.

However, even if the firepower of the 105 regiments in the Hundred Regiments War was added up, it was far from being as powerful as the new regiment now.

Moreover, the ones killed this time were all the elites of the real Class A divisions of the Japanese army. The devils killed in the Hundred Regiments War were basically the devils of the second-line troops.

"Good job!"

The chief of staff folded his arms and said in an extremely happy tone:
"Li Yunlong, although he has never been to a military academy, he is really talented in fighting. No matter what kind of difficulties he faces, he can always think of a solution."

Not only the chief of staff, but even the combat staff at the headquarters showed extremely excited expressions on their faces.

"Yes." The chief nodded, "This kid is really a bit of a genius in war. If this kid entered Huangpu in the early years, I'm afraid it would be even more serious."

"However." The chief of staff said, "In the past two years, Li Yunlong has learned a lot of military theory knowledge, combining theory with practice. Live strong."

"This is actually..." the chief nodded and said, "Dude, you immediately prepare three telegrams. The first telegram is sent to YA to report the great victory in Northwest Shanxi, and the second telegram rewards Li Yunlong, Ding Wei, and Kong Jie, as well as the entire Eighth Route Army in Northwest Shanxi. General, the third telegram is a plain code telegram sent to the military and civilians across the country."

Although the 1st Division could not be completely wiped out, it was definitely a great victory to wipe out the main force of the 1st Division.

It is worthy of national celebration and vigorous promotion.

"it is good."

The chief of staff just thought for a while, and he had a draft in his mind, so he picked up a pen and paper and began to draft the telegram.

Watching the chief of staff's pen go ahead, the corners of the chief's mouth turned up slightly.

In this battle, Li Yunlong must have done business with Boss Chen again, and killed more than 2 Type A division ghosts. You don't need to guess the leader to know, the price must be very good.

Coupled with the captured devil's weapons and equipment, this time the Eighth Route Army can increase its strength again.

The weapons and equipment of the Type A division devils are top-notch.

Li Yunlong will take the initiative to hand over half of the weapons and equipment earned from the business to the headquarters.

In this battle, the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army will inevitably make a fortune.

Thinking of this, the chief smiled and added: "By the way, remember to congratulate Li Yunlong for getting rich."

"Know!"

The chief of staff smiled.

A kind of combat staff next to him also laughed.

The meme of Gong Xi Fa Cai is an old tradition of the Eighth Route Army.

A combat staff officer said with a smile: "The main force of the 129th Division and the 386th Brigade, do you want to withdraw?"

"Yes." The chief nodded and said, "Immediately order the main force of the 129th Division and the 386th Brigade to withdraw to the base."
