I am helping

Chapter 726 Japanese anti-tank weapons!
immediately.

Li Yunlong asked Chief of Staff Wang to draft a telegram, sending Yan Laoxi's instructions to install agents and spies among the technicians in the arsenal, as well as the list and Li Yunlong's plan, to the headquarters.

……

Southeast Shanxi.

Liao County.

Eighth Route Army Headquarters.

"The devils from the 33rd Division withdrew from Zhongtiao Mountain?"

Looking at the information in his hand, the chief was slightly startled.

The headquarters is preparing to plan to attack the 33rd Division of the Japanese Army in Zhongtiao Mountain.

Even if the 33rd Division cannot be eliminated, at least the 33rd Division must be disabled, but I did not expect the 33rd Division to withdraw from Zhongtiao Mountain on its own initiative.

After a pause, the chief asked again: "When did it happen?"

"What happened yesterday." The chief of staff replied, "The 33rd Division has boarded the train from Yuncheng and is heading towards Taiyuan along the Nantongpu Railway. Zhongtiao Mountain, Yuncheng and Yuanqu County were recovered from the 14rd Division of the Japanese Army.”

Okamura Ning's second campaign to suppress Northwest Shanxi was seriously short of troops, so he had to abandon Zhongtiao Mountain and let the 33rd Division withdraw to the Zhengtai Railway.

In order to ensure the start of the battle and the smooth flow of the Zhengtai Railway.

Zhongtiao Mountain is more than 300 kilometers away from the headquarters. There is not much development of troops on Zhongtiao Mountain. There are only a few guerrillas and the means of communication are backward. Therefore, the information about the retreat of the 33rd Division did not come until the next day.

At this time, the military column of the 33rd Division was about to arrive in Taiyuan.

The headquarters plans to attack the 33rd Division. It needs to formulate a combat plan and mobilize combat materials. The troops will attack more than 300 kilometers to fight, and the preparatory work will be relatively long.

Before the headquarters could do anything, the 33rd Division had already slipped away from Zhongtiao Mountain.

The boss snorted and said, "The national army's action is quite fast. The Japanese army just left yesterday, and today they regained such a large area in Southwest Shanxi."

"It should be that the Japanese army greeted the national army when they were retreating." The chief of staff analyzed.

The chief nodded, and the chief of staff's analysis made sense.

In the Battle of Zhongtiao Mountain in May last year, the Japanese army dispatched 6 divisions to attack the 20 Central Army in Zhongtiao Mountain. They fought down without much effort and drove the Central Army across the Yellow River.

If Southwest Shanxi falls into the hands of the Eighth Route Army, within a year or two, the Eighth Route Army will manage it as if it is airtight.

It will be very difficult for the Japanese army to attack Zhongtiao Mountain again.

And if the situation changes in the future, if the Japanese army wants to attack Zhongtiao Mountain again, and the Central Army is stationed at Zhongtiao Mountain, it will be much easier for the Japanese army to take Zhongtiao Mountain.

After a pause, the chief of staff said again: "The 33rd Division can't escape, just wait for our big counterattack, and we will solve the 33rd Division together."

But the chief suddenly looked thoughtful: "Dude, you said that the 33rd Division of the Japanese Army is withdrawing from the Zhengtai Railway at this time. Could it be related to the big raids by the Japanese Army in March and April?"

The chief of staff folded his arms and said in thought: "Chief, what do you mean, it has something to do with the reminder from Boss Chen?"

The chief nodded.

Boss Chen reminded the Eighth Route Army that the Japanese army started in March this year, and the North China Front Army will carry out a large-scale raid on the Eighth Route Army.

The chief speculated that the transfer of the 33rd Division to the Zhengtai Railway at this time was likely to be related to the Japanese raids.

The headquarters has ordered the Eighth Route Army military regions to step up preparations for the next large-scale raid that the Japanese army is likely to launch.

"It's not impossible." The chief of staff nodded and said, "Last time Li Yunlong issued a letter to the compatriots all over the country and the Japanese invaders. Okamura Ningji's combat target is very likely to be Northwest Shanxi. The 33rd Division withdrew to Zhengtai The railway may have something to do with the Japanese attacking and sweeping Northwest Shanxi."

The boss suddenly had a headache, and said: "Li Yunlong is really a troublemaker. Once his clear telegram is sent, the Japanese army's large-scale mopping up is very likely to go to Northwest Shanxi."

The meaning of the head of the headquarters is to let the new regiment rest for a few months.

After all, the Eighth Route Army counterattacked, and the Xinyi Regiment was the absolute main force.

In layman's terms, the Eighth Route Army is going to sing a big show in Shanxi, and the protagonists of this big show are Li Yunlong and his new regiment.

Only when the new troupe rests and trains well can they sing well for the upcoming drama.

But Li Yunlong is not the kind of person who can be idle. No wind can stir up waves for you, let alone beating devils. He is sitting and sleeping thinking about how to fight devils.

"Maybe Li Yunlong deliberately attracted the hatred of the Japanese army." The chief of staff laughed, "After all, the more victories Li Yunlong fights, the richer he will be."

The chief nodded and said, "We have to send a telegram to Li Yunlong, Ding Wei, and Kong Jie. The Japanese army is very likely to attack Northwest Shanxi. Let them prepare in advance."

"Chief, you are worrying too much." The chief of staff smiled slightly, "Believe it or not, Neji Okamura made a battle plan the day before, and Neji Okamura's battle plan was placed on Li Yunlong's desk the next day."

The chief immediately laughed and said, "Haha, how could I have forgotten Boss Chen, there is Boss Chen's senior spy at the Japanese North China Front Command."

The chief felt relieved when he thought that Li Yunlong had Boss Chen providing information and weapons and ammunition.

After a pause, the chief said again: "However, we still need Li Yunlong, Ding Wei and Kong Jie to remind them, so that they can be mentally prepared."

"Okay, I'll draw up a telegram right now."

The chief of staff smiled slightly, even though the chief knew that Li Yunlong and the others would receive the information, he still had to send a telegram to remind them.

This shows that the chief is liking Li Yunlong more and more.

A cadre like Li Yunlong is simply a treasure, who wouldn't like it.

The chief of staff had just finished drafting the telegram and asked the chief to sign it.

A telegraph soldier walked in quickly with a telegram in his hand, and saluted a military salute: "Report to the chief, a new telegram!"

The chief of staff changed his expression, took the telegram from the telegraph soldier, and handed the telegram to the telegraph soldier: "Xiao Zhang, send this telegram to the Xinyi Regiment, the 386 Brigade Independent Regiment and the 386 Brigade New Second Regiment." group."

"Yes!"

The telegraph soldier named Xiao Zhang took the telegram, turned around and left quickly.

The chief of staff picked up the telegram sent by the new group and read it, and then a touch of anger appeared on his face.

"What happened?"

The chief's heart skipped a beat: "Could it be Li Yunlong who made something wrong?"

"That's not true." The chief of staff said a little angrily while handing the telegram to the chief, "Li Yunlong sent a telegram saying that Yan Xishan instructed the arsenal technicians to place agents of the military command and spies of the Japanese army. Got it, Li Yunlong applied to teach Yan Xishan a lesson."

Hearing this, the chief was suddenly startled, picked up the telegram and read it.

After reading the telegram, the chief slapped the telegram on the table and said angrily, "This Yan Xishan!"

The Eighth Route Army does business with the Jinsui Army sincerely, but Yan Laoxi is making small moves behind his back, which is simply the behavior of a villain.

Needless to say, both the chief and the chief of staff knew that this list must have been provided by that boss Chen. With Xinyituan's intelligence capabilities, it was impossible to obtain such detailed information.

Even the lists of military commanders and Japanese spies are listed, so there is no need to doubt the authenticity.

This Boss Chen is really a great benefactor of the Eighth Route Army...

The Chief sighed secretly.

If the spies of the military command and the Japanese army were allowed to mix with the technicians of the arsenal and then participate in production, it would probably cause incalculable losses to the arsenal industry in Northwest Shanxi.

Although the chief had a temper, after reading the telegram, he quickly calmed down again.

The chief said to the chief of staff: "I agree with Li Yunlong's request, let Li Yunlong teach Yan Xishan a lesson, but... we must remind Li Yunlong not to be charged with destroying the anti-Japanese national united front."

Yan Xishan secretly played tricks, but after all, the Eighth Route Army has no real evidence.

At this time, it is inappropriate to go to war with the Jinsui Army. After all, Yan Xishan is still the commander of the second theater in name, in charge of the Eighth Route Army, and the main enemy of the Eighth Route Army is the Japanese army.

Although there was friction between the Eighth Route Army and the Jinsui Army, no one dared to fire the first shot because they were afraid of being charged with destroying the anti-Japanese national united front.

"Understood!" The chief of staff nodded, "I'll send a telegram to Li Yunlong, telling him to pay attention to the scale."

……

Taiyuan.

Japanese First Army Command.

"Report to the commander."

Kazuki Yamamoto walked into the commander's office with a major general commanding saber, came to Yoshio Iwamatsu, bowed his head and said:

"The six locust army agents I arranged have already mixed into the technicians of the Jinsui Army's arsenal, and with the help of the Jinsui Army, they have obtained a reasonable identity."

Although Kazuki Yamamoto has reached the rank of major general, he has no real power in his hands.

At present, Yamamoto is mainly responsible for the city defense of Taiyuan, the Japanese army, and the intelligence work of the First Army.

This made Kazuki Yamamoto miss Yoshio Shinozuka, the former commander of the First Army.

If the current commander of the First Army is still Yoshio Shinozuka, then after Kazuki Yamamoto is promoted to major general, he can be a brigade commander.

"Yo Xi!"

Yoshio Iwamatsu smiled slightly, in a happy mood:

"The Locust Army's painstaking efforts to place agents and spies in the Eighth Route Army in Northwest Shanxi failed. They did not expect to find a breakthrough in Yan Xishan."

Yoshio Yanmatsu has received information that the Eighth Route Army will use 5000 American-style equipment to exchange skilled workers in the arsenal with the Jinsui Army.

However, Yoshio Iwamatsu did not get the specific time and place.

Otherwise, when the Eighth Route Army traded with the Jinsui Army, he would directly apply to the headquarters of the North China Front Army to send bombers to blow up the skilled workers in the arsenal and the American equipment of 5000 people.

Hehe... Li Yunlong still wants to build an arsenal, but he also wants to ask the locust army if he agrees!

Yamamoto nodded: "What Your Excellency Commander said is very true, but Yan Xishan still has some use value."

"Yamamoto-kun, I have good news for you."

Yoshio Iwamatsu looked at Kazuki Yamamoto and said:

"The big horn anti-tank weapon you seized has been researched by the Ordnance Department of the Locust Army. It has made a breakthrough. The sample of the anti-tank weapon has been produced. It is currently in the experimental stage. It is very powerful and can be used against the Eighth Route Army. heavy tanks."

"Next month, a batch of anti-tank weapons will be delivered to our First Army."

Kazuki Yamamoto had a rare smile on his face: "Yo, Nishi!"
