My client Li Yunlong

Chapter 96 Linkage!

"Good news."

"Great news!"

May 25, Brigade Headquarters.

The chief of staff strode into the brigade war room with an excited tone.

"What good news?"

The brigade commander thought for a moment and guessed the truth:
"Li Yunlong?"

Recently, the [-]th Brigade has been organizing troop training, training company and platoon-level officers, and organizing militia and engineering troops according to the headquarters' orders to build the Taiyue Military Region's warehousing and logistics network.

There were almost no fights with the Japanese.

The only news the brigade commander could think of was from Li Yunlong.

"According to intelligence, this guy surrounded the Xiazhuang stronghold ten days ago. Seven days ago, the Beijing Brigade stationed in Liao County went to the Xiazhuang stronghold to provide support."

"Did he take down the Xiazhuang stronghold?"

The brigade commander speculated.

"more than."

The brigade chief of staff deliberately let it slip.

"more than?"

They are all old partners, so the brigade commander followed the words of the chief of staff.

"He also wiped out the Japanese squadron in the Xiazhuang stronghold?"

The brigade commander continued to speculate.

"More than that!"

The chief of staff's tone continued to be mysterious:
"Moreover, the Japs at the Xiazhuang stronghold broke out. Five Japs, including the squadron leader Shangchi, ran out at night."

"More than that!"

The brigade commander was really surprised.

The independent regiment captured the Xiazhuang stronghold, and only five Japanese squadrons stationed at the Xiazhuang stronghold broke out. This was no different from a total annihilation, but these were still more than enough.

This shows that what Li Yunlong did is even more amazing than the above.

In fact, there is only one answer left in the follow-up possibility, but the brigade commander still hesitated for a while before answering:

"Could it be that the Beijing Brigade was severely damaged?"

There is one and only one possibility that is more than taking down a Japanese stronghold and annihilating a Japanese squadron. Li Yunlong severely damaged the Beijing brigade that went to support the Xiazhuang stronghold.

However, according to brigade headquarters intelligence, the Beijing Brigade dispatched about 600 Japanese soldiers, equipped with a Type [-] infantry cannon.

Six hundred Japs!
Although it is only a garrison brigade, it only has one Type [-] infantry cannon and four Type [-] heavy machine guns. It belongs to a Class C division, and its combat effectiveness is far inferior to that of a Class A and Class B division.

But this is still six hundred Japanese.

Three full Japanese squadrons.

Even with the current strength of the [-]th Brigade, it would take a lot of effort to severely damage the infantry brigade of nearly [-] Japanese.

"Correct!"

The Chief of Staff replied:
"According to the report of the independent group."

"The battle ended on May 24. The second battalion captured the Xiazhuang stronghold. The first battalion and the artillery company severely damaged the Beijing brigade stationed in Liao County. They killed Beijing Minghe, the captain of the Beijing brigade, annihilated 395 Japanese soldiers, and seized several guns and ammunition. Forty infantry artillery shells."

"Kill Beijing Minghe and severely damage Beijing Brigade."

Contrary to the expectations of the brigade chief of staff, after confirming the news, the brigade commander was not very excited, but fell into deep thought.

After a brief shock, the brigade commander quickly understood how Li Yunlong did it. With the strength of a battalion and an artillery company, he severely damaged the Beijing Brigade with almost the same strength.

No, it can no longer be said to be a serious injury.

The squadron in Xiazhuang belonged to the Beijing Brigade. Only five Japanese out of 140 Japanese broke out. In addition to killing the 395 Japanese in the brigade headquarters, Li Yunlong almost abolished the establishment of the Beijing Brigade.

The Japanese Beijing Brigade went deep to rescue the Xiazhuang stronghold alone. No matter how Beijing Minghe chose the marching route and method, he would inevitably enter the ambush circle where the independent regiment was waiting for work.

It's just that it is impossible to form an advantage and ambush in a favorable location.

However, the artillery company of the independent regiment has sixteen 82 mortars, with a maximum range of 500 meters. This distance is enough to deploy the position outside the guard circle of the Japanese brigade and fully cover the entire brigade march.

Sixteen artillery pieces can fully suppress the entire Beijing brigade in the narrow mountainous terrain with full firepower.

And the friend behind Li Yunlong stands out as a tyrant.

There will definitely be no shortage of artillery shells.

Intense firepower suppression, thousands of artillery shells were fired, and a large group of Japanese soldiers could only lie motionless on the ground.

During this period, a battalion quickly approached from the slope position and launched a charge. The Japanese who were accustomed to fighting with the troops with bayonets would inevitably launch a confrontation with them habitually. With the firepower of more than 200 submachine guns of a battalion of the independent regiment, it was just a matter of raising their hands to defeat a large group. between.He could even estimate that the casualties of the First Battalion of the Independent Regiment were only half of those of the Japanese.

The First Battalion of the Independent Regiment suffered casualties, and the Japanese were killed in action.

"What does Li Yunlong want to do?"

The brigade commander suddenly asked this question.

"What does Li Yunlong want to do?"

The brigade chief of staff was stunned for a moment, and then immediately frowned.

Yes!

Li Yunlong sent troops to surround the Xiazhuang stronghold and attracted reinforcements from the Japanese Beijing Brigade. During this period, he severely damaged the Beijing Brigade on the road, demonstrating the powerful combat capabilities of the independent regiment.

And captured the Xiazhuang stronghold.

What does he want to do?

"He wants to attract the Japanese into the mountain!"

The brigade chief of staff concluded.

"right,."

The brigade commander also nodded.

Thinking back to the past few months, Li Yunlong has established the 20th Brigade Taiyue Military Region Logistics Transfer Station, organized militia training, and provided [-] tons of grain to other base areas.

The brigade commander vaguely came to a conclusion:

"Li Yunlong wants to attract Japanese soldiers into the mountain, and they are soldiers at the level of a full regiment."

"He wants to attract the Shandao United Team into the mountains!"

"Attract the Mountain Island Alliance into the mountain!"

The brigade chief of staff took a deep breath:

"Here, he doesn't want to inflict heavy damage or completely annihilate the Shandao Alliance, right?"

"will not."

The brigade commander shook his head:

"Li Yunlong only has 500 people in his hands."

"After receiving reinforcements from a mobile brigade in Yangquan, the Shandao Alliance can dispatch up to three thousand Japanese soldiers into the mountains."

"A full infantry regiment."

"This is not a bone that the Independent Regiment can eat."

"Even if Li Yunlong could get more powerful artillery and expand the artillery company to the artillery battalion, he still wouldn't have the appetite."

"He doesn't have enough troops."

"Then what does he want?"

The brigade chief of staff frowned.

The individual combat unit of the Japanese is the squadron.

The 3000-man Japanese Regiment is six times the strength of the Beijing Brigade and includes three infantry brigades, an artillery squadron, and a regiment headquarters.

Among them were nine infantry squadrons.

To encircle and inflict serious damage, at least four main regiments and 1 troops are needed.

No matter how strong the independent regiment is, the problem of insufficient troops is still a flaw.

"do not know."

The brigade commander sneered:
"However, I know very well what labor and management want to do."

"Do you want to annihilate the entire Shandao Alliance?"

His old partner, the brigade chief of staff, immediately understood what his brigade commander wanted to do.

With the current strength of the [-]th Brigade, if the Japanese army enters the mountain as a group, they are really capable of eating them all.

"Correct."

The brigade commander was in high spirits:

"If the Shandao United Team doesn't go into the mountains, labor and management won't be able to do anything about it."

"But as long as this old devil enters the mountain, then, hum..."
