Chapter 963: The Battle of Pingan Grad Is Coming
Shen Long drove wildly all the way, maybe it was because the senior officers of the First Army were almost wiped out by the regiment, or maybe it was because they chose a secret route, and they didn't encounter any planes intercepted by devils along the way. But Shen Long, an expert in flying planes, also saved them a lot of time.
Shen Long took Monk Wei and they found Li Yunlong smoothly. Now Li Yunlong took Zhao Gang and the others to Taoshugou, where the second battalion was stationed. Although Kazuki Yamamoto was killed by them, since Kazuki Yamamoto could find here, it proves that Zhaojiayu The village has been exposed, and it is no longer appropriate to stay here.
Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang came to Taoshugou with their troops, and the villagers of Zhaojiayu Village also moved. The car drove near Taoshugou, and saw the news tree fall from a distance. It seems that the sentinels of the independent regiment had discovered them Shen Long then asked Monk Wei to climb onto the carriage and wave the military flag high,
After matching the code, a group of soldiers cautiously approached them. The leader was Sun Bin, the commander of the Second Battalion. When he saw Shen Long, he immediately asked, "You guys are back, but you are worried about me. How is it? Did you gain anything?"
After confirming that all the team members have returned, they asked about the record. This warmed the hearts of Shen Long and Monk Wei. Shen Long greeted Sun Bin and the others to get in the car. You said it."
When they arrived in the village, Li Yunlong, Zhao Gang, and Xing Zhiguo, the deputy head of the regiment, were all waiting outside the regiment headquarters, each with a look of anticipation, "Scholar, how is your trip?"
"The harvest is not small. Here, I have brought some good things back. Captain, please arrange for someone to receive them!" Shen Long pointed to the munitions in the carriage, and Li Yunlong immediately called for people to unload the truck and take inventory, and then brought Shen Long to the house inside.
"The little devil's three largest arsenals in Taiyuan were all blown up by me, Yoshio Shinozuka died, and the senior management of the First Army probably lost a lot!" Shen Long said about his experience in Taiyuan City this time. over again.
"Scholar, this trip is so damn beautiful!" Li Yunlong slapped the table violently, laughing happily, "You actually killed a devil lieutenant general, isn't this the third devil lieutenant general that our Eighth Route Army killed?"
Prior to this, the Luxi Military Region was ambushed and seriously injured the commander of the 114th Division Tokushige Numata in an ambush in 1939, and Tokushige Numata died after jumping off; The head of the Second Brigade, the flower of the famous general, and Lieutenant General Norihide Abe.
"Numata Tokushige is the division commander, Abe Kishu is the brigade commander, and Shinozuka Yoshio is the commander of the First Army. To be honest, this is probably the highest-ranking Japanese general that our Eighth Route Army has killed, right?" Deputy Commander Xing Zhiguo said excitedly.
"Yoshio Shinozuka is second. The most important thing is to blow up the arsenal of the little devil. We have to report to the superior immediately and mobilize all the intelligence personnel in Taiyuan City.
Check the results of this battle in time! We have been suppressed by devils for so long, and we can finally breathe a little bit of relief! "Zhao Gang is more concerned about arms.
In the past two years, the little devils have intensified their raids on the border areas, forcing the various departments of the Eighth Route Army to disperse their troops. Now that they have suddenly lost so much ammunition, they will definitely be stretched. If they can take advantage of this opportunity to launch a local counterattack, it is very hopeful reverse the current unfavorable situation.
Zhao Gang immediately went to the radio station to send a report. After receiving the news, his superiors attached great importance to it, immediately activated the intelligence personnel, and quickly confirmed the result: the three largest arsenals in Taiyuan lost more than 70%, and Yoshio Shinozuka died. More than half of the senior generals of the First Army died, and less than a third of them could continue to command the Japanese army after excluding those who were seriously injured.
On the other hand, the Eighth Route Army has grown in strength over the past two years. In addition, the penicillin and sulfonamide produced by Shen Long have helped the military factory improve its production technology, and the potatoes and sweet potato varieties he provided have greatly enhanced its strength.
Under the ebb and flow, although it is still far from completely driving the little devil out of Shanxi, it is enough to carry out some partial counterattacks. The relevant combat plan was quickly distributed to all units, and Li Yunlong also received the latest instructions from his superiors.
"The superior asked us to find a suitable time to fight and put more pressure on the Japanese army!" The Eighth Route Army was not Chang Kaishen, who couldn't directly order a squad. They left enough autonomy for the front-line commanders. While ensuring the same strategic direction, front-line commanders can flexibly use various tactics.
Li Yunlong likes this very much. If you let him experience Chang Kaishen's command under Chang Kaishen, Li Yunlong will definitely go crazy; after receiving the order, he immediately called a meeting with the commanders and fighters of the independent regiment. Speaking of which, what should we do next?"
"No matter how you fight, you must first assemble your team! Take a good look at the current combat power." Xing Zhiguo, the deputy head of the regiment, reminded that when the independent regiment divided up, there were more than a thousand people, all scattered in an area with a radius of hundreds of miles. Combat state.
Its task is to assist in the establishment of the grassroots anti-Japanese regime, and to develop and strengthen the team. Each company or even each platoon has become an independent unit. If you have the ability, you can expand each company into a regiment; Even, as for equipment, ammunition, clothing, and supplies, I’m sorry, there’s nothing on it, you go and grab it from the enemy yourself; well done, you eat meat every day, and celebrate the New Year every day, if you don’t do well, you don’t even want to drink soup .
Looking at the meaning of the above at the moment, it is to try some larger-scale battles. In this case, it is necessary to gather troops first and count the existing combat power.
"Well, all the communication teams are withdrawn, and all battalions, companies, and platoons are ordered to return to construction quickly. There are important combat tasks." Li Yunlong accepted this opinion, and after discussing with the big guys, Li Yunlong turned his attention to On Shen Long, "Scholar, don't just sit and don't talk, you can also talk."
He felt that with Shen Long's ability, it should not be limited to special operations, but should also participate in large-scale operations like this. Shen Long was not polite, and said directly, "I think the reasons why the superior department issued this order are as follows : First of all, to train our ability to fight on a large scale, since the Hundred Regiments War, we have been avoiding large-scale battles, but guerrilla warfare alone is not enough to defeat the little devil."
"Secondly, continue to put pressure on the little devils and increase their ammunition consumption. Our munitions supply is progressing, and the little devils don't have the time to go there. Now that the little devils have lost so many arms, if we increase consumption again, the little devils will not be able to go there." Stretched! This is extremely beneficial to us."
"But it's not easy for us to touch big cities like Taiyuan and Datong. With our current strength, heavy weapons are very scarce, and they are not enough to attack such large targets, so small counties have become our best choice!"
Shen Long pointed to the map and said, "I think we can fight Ping'an County in this battle!"
