I am helping

The American equipment was pulled back to the new group of defense areas, and was quickly stored in the warehouse.

The more than 2500 skilled workers, as well as engineers, have also arranged accommodation.

The arsenal of the new regiment, Li Yunlong plans to build it among the mountains.

In order to prevent being bombed by Japanese planes, the Xinyi Regiment used the same method as the Zhaojiayu Back Mountain, hollowing out the entire mountain.

That place is called Crouching Tiger Mountain, where the steel and cement factories are also built, and there is a small river next to it, with plenty of water.

At present, the engineering battalion is organizing the common people to carry out large-scale construction projects on Crouching Tiger Mountain. The construction period has been completed for less than half, and it is expected to be completed in nearly two months.

"Reporting to the head, according to the information from the scouts."

In the regiment headquarters, Chief of Staff Wang Dehou reported to Li Yunlong:

"The 1st Division of the Japanese Army began to build strongholds on the road from Northwest Shanxi to Datong, and this construction included several."

Li Yunlong then asked: "Chief of Staff, can you point out the specific location?"

Wang Dehou put a map of northern Shanxi on the table, and slid his fingers along the road from northwest Shanxi to Datong.

"The Japanese army is building strongholds here, here, here, and here on the road."

"There are four strongholds in total, and they are all medium-sized strongholds. They are all strongholds of masonry blockhouses."

"The Japanese army coerced us Chinese laborers to build strongholds, and there were quite a few of them. At most, it took 10 days and half a month to build all these strongholds."

Afterwards, Wang Dehou used a pencil to draw the positions of the strongholds built by the Japanese army on the map.

Li Yunlong stared at the map with pensive eyes.

The medium-sized strongholds of the Japanese army usually have a squad or squadron, and a puppet army of more than one company, with a strength of about 200 to 300 people.

This kind of stronghold is usually equipped with a large blockhouse with a height of three floors, and a small blockhouse is built on both sides of the big blockhouse. There will also be a blockhouse at the gate and the rear wing of the stronghold.

The area in the middle of the stronghold is generally the barracks of the Japanese and puppet troops.

The Huting stronghold had this configuration at the beginning, and it was captured by the Xinyi Regiment with one 1mm Italian field gun and more than a dozen mortars.

Now the Shimonoseki stronghold has been razed to the ground by Katyusha rockets, and the Japanese army is still building a medium-sized stronghold, which is worth pondering.

Because the current Xinyi Regiment, not to mention attacking Taiyuan City, even if it is attacking Beiping City, it has enough firepower.

Just a medium-sized stronghold, the two infantry companies of the new regiment, plus 2 mountain cannons and a few mortars, can take it down, and it is easy and enjoyable.

As for why it couldn't be fought when the Japanese army was building strongholds, because now the new regiment's tactics are mainly artillery to cover the enemy with a round of artillery fire.

The people who built the stronghold were ordinary people. If a round of artillery fire could kill all the Japanese troops, the ordinary people would not be spared either.

Seeing Li Yunlong squinting his eyes and thinking, Wang Dehou said: "Regimental Commander, the First Division of the Japanese Army is afraid of being attacked by our new regiment, so after the Maguan stronghold was bombarded, a medium-sized stronghold was built to prevent our new regiment from attacking. A regiment of large troops went north to attack Datong."

From Northwest Shanxi to Datong, there is currently only one road.

Although there are also many small roads that can be interspersed in a roundabout way, but the small roads are interspersed in a roundabout way, and heavy firepower can't get through.

Moreover, the devils in the Devil's 1st Division were all afraid of this, and there must have been scouts on the small road.

Li Yunlong nodded and said, "There is another possibility that these strongholds were built by the First Division to attract our attention."

"Captain, what do you mean..." Wang Dehou said thoughtfully, "This old devil, Mr. Zhongze, is playing with us to repair the plank road and secretly hide Chencang?"

"That's right!" Li Yunlong said, "I dare to bet you that there are devils' secret posts in other places, otherwise after the Maguan stronghold is taken away by us, the devils dare to build the stronghold. Isn't this courting death or what?"

"The devil is not an idiot, and he will never let these soldiers die in vain."

"Then if we want to go north to attack Datong." Wang Dehou's eyes showed worry, "but we won't be able to achieve the same surprise attack effect as the last time we went north to attack the 3rd Brigade."

The last time the 3rd Brigade of the Japanese Army was able to wipe out was mainly due to the successful surprise attack.

Li Yunlong first asked the first part of the Sword Squadron and the scouts to kill the Japanese scouts, and then dispatched cavalry to attack from a long distance, blocking the Japanese 3rd Brigade in Datong City.

And ordered the Sword Squadron and the 5st Battalion and [-]st Company to sneak attack Datong Station and grab [-] tons of combat supplies.

Then the large forces arrived and annihilated the Japanese 3rd Brigade in one fell swoop, and killed its major general, Brigade Commander, Mitsuo Yi Sanxiong.

"If you want to raid the 1st Division, you have to find a way." Li Yunlong nodded, "Otherwise, once the 1st Division notices that something is wrong, it is very likely that the 1st Division will slip away."

Today's 1st Division is not even half as powerful as it was at its peak.

Although the 1st Division has added some troops, they are of lower quality than the previous soldiers.

The biggest threat to the new regiment was the heavy artillery unit of the 1st Division, with 20 150mm cannons and 10 240mm heavy howitzers, with extremely powerful firepower.

Of course, the new regiment also has counter firepower, such as the 150mm howitzer battalion and the 203mm heavy howitzer battalion.

When the Katyusha Rocket Battalion has formed its combat effectiveness, it can also counter the Devil's heavy artillery squadron.

Li Yunlong ordered: "Send the Sword Squadron to go around the devil's stronghold first, and see if we can find out the hidden devil's secret whistle. The devil's secret whistle probably carries a radio station."

"That's all there is to it for now."

Just as Wang Dehou was about to turn around and leave, he suddenly turned around again:

"By the way, commander, there is another piece of information. The 1rd Division of the Japanese 33st Army has withdrawn from Zhongtiao Mountain to the Zhengtai Railway. The division headquarters is currently stationed in Shouyang County."

"Has the Japanese army abandoned Zhongtiao Mountain?" Li Yunlong narrowed his eyes slightly.

The Japanese army dispatched 6 divisions to attack Zhongtiao Mountain and defeated 20 central troops.

Li Yunlong seized the opportunity that the Japanese army was empty in Taiyuan, attacked Taiyuan, and killed the commander of the First Army Shinozuka Yoshio.

It can be said that the Japanese army attacked Zhongtiao Mountain, although they won a big victory in the direction of Zhongtiao Mountain.

However, the backyard caught fire and the headquarters of the First Army was wiped out, causing heavy losses to the Japanese army.

It can be said that Li Yunlong led the 3 Eighth Route Army to beat the 20 Central Army by several blocks.

"Yes." Wang Dehou nodded and said, "Leader."

"That's fine, you go and give orders to the Sword Squadron first."

"Yes."

Wang Dehou turned and left.

Li Yunlong stared at the map with pensive eyes.

When the Jindongnan headquarters planned to attack the 33rd Division, the head of the headquarters had already greeted Li Yunlong.

Let Li Yunlong send troops to contain the Japanese First Army to prevent the Japanese First Army from going south to rescue the 33rd Division.

And Li Yunlong had two plans in his mind. The first plan was that once the main force of the Eighth Route Army in Southeast Shanxi went south to attack the 33rd Division, Li Yunlong would call the main force of the New First or New Second Regiment to go south and approach Taiyuan.

One regiment was left to stop the Mongolian Army and the 1st Division going south.

The second plan is that when the main force in Southeast Shanxi is attacking the 33rd Division, the Xinyi Regiment will attack the 1st Division at the same time, making the 1st Army difficult to care about.

But now that the 33rd Division is going north to defend the Zhengtai Railway, the headquarters will definitely not go south to Zhongtiao Mountain again.

In this way, the Japanese army's defense against the Zhengtai Railway was relatively strong.

There are nearly 200 divisions defending the more than 3-kilometer railway line from Taiyuan to Jingxing County.

This is still the case when the 37th Division of the Japanese Army was disabled by the Xinyi Regiment and the 129th Division, otherwise the defense of the Zhengtai Railway would be even stronger.

is thinking.

Correspondent Chen Baoshan ran in to report: "Reporting to the head of the regiment, the 2nd Company of the Guard Battalion called, Chu Yunfei, the head of the 358th Regiment of the Jinsui Army, visited."

"Oh?" Li Yunlong was surprised, "Chu Yunfei is here? How many people are there, and how far is it from the regiment headquarters?"

Chen Baoshan replied: "There are only more than 10 people, Chu Yunfei and his adjutant Sun Ming, and a guard squad, about half an hour away from the regiment headquarters."

Li Yunlong nodded: "I see."

……

After about half an hour.

Chu Yunfei arrived as scheduled with Sun Ming and the guard squad.

The security squad was waiting outside the village. Chu Yunfei took Sun Ming to the regiment headquarters of the new regiment under the guidance of the guards.

"Haha, what wind brought Brother Chu, a great god, to my small temple today?"

In the courtyard of the regiment headquarters, Li Yunlong and Wang Dehou went out to meet Chu Yunfei.

Today Zhao Gang left the army, Xing Zhiguo went to Crouching Tiger Mountain to supervise the project, and only Li Yunlong and Wang Dehou remained in the regiment headquarters.

As soon as they met, the two sides first exchanged military salutes, and Li Yunlong laughed.

Chu Yunfei's heart twitched slightly, but he said with a normal expression: "Yunlong's words are too flattering to my brother and me. Brother, with the strength of a regiment, fought south and north, killed countless Japanese soldiers, killed 6 Japanese lieutenant generals, 10 He is a major general, powerful in the whole world, he is truly a brave man, how dare Chu call himself a great god in front of Brother Yunlong?"

For the current Li Yunlong, Chu Yunfei really admired him. There is no other person in China who can command the troops to kill 16 Japanese generals.

In the face of a national crisis, Chu Yunfei is unwilling to intervene in factional disputes, and only wishes for the independence and freedom of the nation to serve the country on the spot.

It's just that Chu Yunfei is a man, but his immediate boss, Chief Yan, and even Chairman Jiang don't think so.

It can only be said that Chu Yunfei followed the wrong party and leader.

"The 16 generals are nothing to worry about. Someday I will chop off the head of Neiji Okamura and give it to Brother Chu as a chamber pot."

Hearing what Chu Yunfei said, Li Yunlong immediately laughed. This Chu Yunfei is a proud person, but he doesn't often compliment others.

"Brother Chu, please."

Li Yunlong invited Chu Yunfei and Sun Ming into the living room of the regiment headquarters.

Guard Huang Erhu walked in with a teacup.

Li Yunlong said: "Brother Chu has always been in the Three Treasures Hall for nothing."

Chu Yunfei sat on the chair, picked up the teacup and blew on it, took a sip of the tea and said, "Brother Yunlong, the main reason for Chu's visit this time is because of the equipment of my battalion and my transport team, Yan The officer has already explained clearly to the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army that the Japanese spies and military command agents were completely misunderstood. It was the intelligence staff of the war zone commander who made the claim. This person has been executed. Brother Yunlong, can the equipment and transport team of that battalion be Give us back the 358 regiment, just as a face for the brothers."

"Brother Chu, this is a bit difficult." Li Yunlong tapped his fingers on the table and said, the reason why Chu Yunfei came to the door this time, Li Datuan leader knew very well. (end of this chapter)
