My client Li Yunlong

Chapter 135 Li Yunlong: Losses must be reimbursed!

"For the first time, at the headquarters of the 29th Brigade in Yangquan, the chief of staff and deputy chief of staff of the First Army were attacked to pieces. It was an accident."

"But what about the second time?"

that night,

Taiyuan.

Kazuki Yamamoto looked at the intelligence information in his hand and fell into deep thought.

After learning that Tubal Road ambushed the imperial convoy on the road near Ping County and killed the new chief of staff and deputy chief of staff of the First Army with the clear purpose, Yamamoto felt that something was strange.

The Chief of Staff and Deputy Chief of Staff of the First Army are indeed senior military officers.

But he is not a real-power officer!

As long as the military rank is sufficient and the ability is not too bad, anyone can take these two positions.

There are a lot of lieutenant colonels and lieutenants in the empire. If they are not good enough, there are also a bunch of major lieutenants who can be promoted.

As long as he nods, he can do the job.

Is it necessary?

Send a squadron, no matter the cost, spend tons of artillery shells, and ambush them only ten kilometers away from the heavy locust army. If you are not careful, all the more than 100 elites will die here.

There is also a lot of intelligence operations involved.

If you want to know the Chief of Staff's whereabouts and route, a lot of manpower needs to be mobilized behind the scenes. With the Locust Army's intelligence power having an absolute advantage, the risk is very high.

Obviously not cost-effective.

It is inconsistent with the concept of special operations.

This kind of extremely risky attack must have sufficient benefits.

Although Tubalu does not understand special operations, it is impossible to understand simple profit and risk judgments.

Tubal Road must have known that sending troops to ambush and kill the two chiefs of staff was a good deal, even if it cost more than 100 elite soldiers and the Yangquan intelligence force was severely damaged.

This made Yamamoto feel extremely strange.

What good can come from killing two chiefs of staff?
Only General Shinozuka and Chief of Staff of the North China Front General Miyano would have this necessity and benefit.

"It's also possible that Tubal Road is demonstrating."

Yamamoto continued to speculate.

Maybe Tubal Road has recently obtained a large amount of weapons and ammunition, and is eager to confront the locust army head-on.

But throughout March to now, Tubal Road has maintained a sufficiently low profile and rarely faced large-scale direct confrontations with the locust army. This shows that they are not arrogant and believe that they can confront the locust army head-on.

Then Yamamoto put aside his doubts.

No matter what it is, it depends on Tubalu's subsequent actions.

"Leave for Yangquan tomorrow."

Yamamoto called his orderly.

General Shinozuka also noticed something was wrong, although he didn't pay much attention to it, thinking that it was most likely an accident. It was just that Tobali found out that there was an opportunity and used it to demonstrate.

The main purpose of sending him to Yangquan was to investigate Tubalu's incredible intelligence capabilities during this ambush.

In order for him to investigate without restrictions, he even asked the commander and deputy commander of the 29th Brigade, two officers at the same level as him or even higher than him, to go to Li County.

"Hi!"

The orderlies immediately began preparations overnight.

···
The 30th Regiment is stationed more than 16 kilometers away from Yangquan.
Another headquarters correspondent arrived here.

"this is·"

The correspondent held a stack of photos.

In the photo, there are boxes after boxes of densely packed and neat silver coins. At a glance, there are at least 60 to [-] silver coins.

"This is the result of your group's victory."

The correspondent's tone was solemn and serious:
"Three million silver dollars per month."

"It was the 16th Regiment. The elite backbone ambushed a Japanese convoy outside Ping County and killed the Chief of Staff and Deputy Chief of Staff of the Japanese First Army."

"Ha ha··"

The commander of the first battalion and the commander of the 16th regiment burst out laughing.

Especially the first battalion commander breathed a huge sigh of relief.

Worth it!

In the ambush battle outside Ping County, the battlefield was a heavy concentration of Japanese troops. If anything went wrong, the entire army would be annihilated. The risk was extremely high. Although the battle was successful, it also cost heavy casualties.

The sacrificed soldiers were all the backbone of the 16th Regiment, and several of them even joined the army at the beginning of the Anti-Japanese War.

In order to rush for time, there was no time to even collect the remains.

There was no way, every second counted at that time, maybe one minute late, the Japanese would catch up.

Although the first battalion commander knew that if he died, or anyone else died, he would hope that the soldiers would leave his body alone and escape as soon as possible. Only by living can he hope to drive away the Japanese.

But as a living person, the first battalion commander still felt uncomfortable watching his comrades' bodies exposed in the wilderness.

but now··

Looking at the million silver dollars in the photo, the first battalion commander felt that the sacrifice of the 16th Regiment was worth it.

"Is there any order from headquarters?"

asked the leader of the 16th regiment.

The headquarters correspondent arrived late at night. At this time, it was impossible to just send these photos and tell them that 300 million silver dollars per month was real.

"According to intelligence, the candidates for the new Chief of Staff and Deputy Chief of Staff of the Japanese First Army have been announced."

"It is the former commander and deputy commander of the 29th Brigade."

"These two are now at the Yangquan First Army Headquarters."

"According to Yangquan intelligence, there are very few Japanese troops in Yangquan City. There is only a Japanese guard team of more than 100 people and 43 Japanese soldiers in the headquarters."

"There are only 43 Japanese in the headquarters?"

The battalion commander immediately licked his lips and asked:

"If we kill these two Japs again, will we still have 300 million silver dollars per month?"

"Correct!"

The correspondent nodded:
"If you kill these two devils, you can still get 300 million oceans a month."

"The order from the headquarters this time is also for the 16th Regiment to send troops to cooperate with the Yangquan underground organization to kill the two Japanese chiefs of staff tomorrow night."

"First battalion commander." The commander of the 16th regiment immediately ordered:

"You select a hundred elite backbones from the entire regiment, and you personally lead the team."

"Yes!"

A battalion commander immediately took the order.

···
"How is the situation with the deployment of the Japanese No. 20 Seventh Division?"

Headquarters.

The deputy boss was very concerned about the Japs' raids and asked about them basically once a day.

"It is expected that in another seven days, we will be able to gather around Yangquan."

"Seven days!"

The deputy general staff looked at the map.

After seven days, the entire army will be assembled, and within ten days, the Japanese will launch an attack on the Taiyue Mountains.

The Taiyue base area is ready.

The walls were fortified and the country was cleared, militia troops were organized and prepared to relocate the people at any time, and hidden positions and bunkers were built. There was enough time, and the two counties could still block the Japanese army from sweeping away the enemy for a few days.

But there is a problem.

Once the Japanese start their raids, it will take almost a month and will not end until mid-August.

During this period, transportation from the Taiyue base area to the Taihang base area had to be suspended.

But now the reason why the Taihang base area is able to provide enough food is to export thousands of tons of food to the southern Hebei base area every month, and to distribute food to the families of soldiers who sacrificed in the base area.

It all relies on [-] tons of grain and [-] tons of lard oil from the Taiyue base area every month.

About 20% of the [-] tons of grain received in April have been used, and only [-] tons are left in secret granaries everywhere as grain reserves.

Unless there is a last resort, try not to use these grains that can be stored for a long time.

"The command headquarters is directly under the transportation team, directly under the cavalry battalion, the 59th Regiment, and the [-]th Regiment."

"Go to Taiyue Mountain Area."

"Ship the food you need this month back at once."

The boss gave the order.

Transporting [-] tons of grain at a time and storing it in the Taiyue base area were problematic and could easily be destroyed by the Japanese.

But in fact, the little devil's troops are also limited.

Sending a division of [-] troops to the Taiyue base area will reduce the pressure on other areas.

···
"The headquarters wants to transport [-] tons of grain at once?"

After receiving this order, Li Yunlong was not surprised and immediately arranged for the Logistics and Supply Department to execute it.

But then his eyes started to roll.

"What are you thinking?"

Zhao Gang knew at a glance that this guy was thinking about bad things.

"Hey hey..."

Li Yunlong smiled, took out the contract with Lu Renjia in July, and said:
"Old Zhao, you said..."

"The purpose of the Japanese raids this time is to cut off Brother Lu's channel for transporting food and supplies to us, right?"

"Correct."

Zhao Gang nodded, full of doubts.

The Japanese 27th Division assembled and rushed towards the Taiyue base area. You don't need to guess the purpose.

Others may worry about supplies being cut off.

But it is impossible for Li Yunlong not to know that let alone a Japanese division, even if the North China Front Army came together, or even all the Japanese soldiers from across the country came together, they would not be able to cut off Boss Lu's transportation channel.

Not a class at all.

This is as impossible as the sword, shield and arrow army from 1000 years ago, trying to shoot down a fighter jet flying at an altitude of 3000 meters.

So Li Yunlong must have other plans when asking this question.

"During this period, for the damage caused by the Japanese to the base area and the property lost by the people, we should ask Brother Lu to reimburse it. Is it reasonable?"

Li Yunlong rubbed his hands.

Although the walls have been fortified and the country has been cleared, when the Japanese invaders come, the people will hide in the mountains with their livestock, hide their food, and build new houses afterwards.

Fifty thousand square meters of wood per month is enough to build thousands of houses every month, and they are still good houses, and the speed is very fast.

However, when more than 2 Japanese invaders enter the base area, troops will inevitably be sent to search the mountainous areas. There will also be traitors who surrender to the enemy and other informants. Food and livestock will also be lost.

People can be moved in time, but animals cannot.

In other words, even if the base area is well prepared for this Japanese raid, it will inevitably suffer heavy losses.

"This···"

"Makes sense!"

Zhao Gang pondered for a moment and suddenly felt that it made sense.

Since the Shandao Regiment was annihilated and the regiment flag was captured, Boss Lu has changed the contract due to some restrictions and will not provide additional weapons and ammunition in subsequent cooperation with the independent regiment.

And no follow-up actual cooperation has been announced.

Only one reward was given to the Chief of Staff and Deputy Chief of Staff of the Japanese First Army.

But Boss Lu only said that he would not provide additional weapons and ammunition, but he did not say that he would not provide other supplies!
According to the terms of the contract, before the Japanese are completely eliminated, if the independent group suffers losses due to reasons on Boss Lu's side, they can apply for compensation from Boss Lu.

The independent regiment also has the names of the [-]th Brigade and the Taiyue Base Logistics Supply Center.

In theory, he should be responsible for the logistics supply of the entire brigade and Taiyue base area.

In other words, boss Lu can also be reimbursed for the livestock and property lost in the entire Taiyue base area?

Although there are currently no domestic animals such as cattle, sheep, and pigs in the independent group exchange list, there are canned meat, mules, and horses.

Although mules and horses have a military prefix, the meaning of these military mules and horses is that they have undergone military training and are more suitable for use.

There is absolutely no problem in using it for civilian purposes. Who stipulates that only cattle can plow the land?Horses and mules are still OK.

"I'm just going to ask."

Li Yunlong excitedly called Lu Renjia.

Then got the answer:
"Reasonable!"
