Bright Sword: I am the old squad leader of the Northwest Shanxi Iron Triangle

Chapter 125

The Japanese army was coming, and no officer of the Eighth Route Army wanted to arm himself quickly.

The more and more advanced weapons they have, the more confident they will be in dealing with these Japs.

"Captain Ling, we have agreed that this first batch of ten tanks will be equipped to our 129th Division." Seeing the tanks slowly rolling out of the production line, Commander Lin couldn't wait to intercept them.

"Of course, of course." Ling Yunzhi said without hesitation.

He knew the combat effectiveness of these main divisions of the Eighth Route Army.

"As I said, each division will be given ten tanks first."

"By the end of this year, we will provide each of you with 20 tanks. In addition, we will provide each of your troops with 1000 rounds of artillery shells."

After hearing this, several teachers and commanders smiled happily.

"Give us some of that 107mm rocket launcher too. It has too much firepower." Commander Liu was so excited when he mentioned the 107mm rocket launcher.

A single salvo of 107mm rockets can turn the enemy's position into a sea of ​​fire.

All 107mm rocket launchers produced by Lingyunzhi's military factory use 20 tubes.

This means that a rocket launcher can fire 20 shells in one salvo.

All of these guns have undergone further improvements, and the rocket launchers are more powerful and have a longer range.

Ling Yunzhi's intention was very clear. He mainly wanted to lead a troop straight to the Japanese lair and occupy Taiyuan.

As long as Taiyuan can be captured, the Japanese forces in northwest Shanxi will collapse.

By that time, it would be effortless to deal with the Japanese in the entire northwest of Shanxi.

Soon, everyone acted according to the original plan.

The main force of the Eighth Route Army was commanded personally by the deputy commander-in-chief.

……

Ling Yunzhi’s military camp.

More than 5000 people gathered.

"Brothers, I, Ling Yunzhi, am going to use a surprise attack this time." Ling Yunzhi jumped onto a Type 59 tank.

"We hope that the Japanese will launch a large-scale sweep of our base. We will take advantage of their weakness in rear defense and seize Taiyuan in one fell swoop."

When everyone heard that they were finally going to attack Taiyuan, they were extremely excited.

"All troops follow my orders. We will set out tonight."

"The main force is heading west."

"Let's go straight to Liujiazhuang, Luliang."

"After arriving at Liujiazhuang in Luliang, the team hid on the spot.

No one should make any noise for me.

As long as the Japanese army set out from Taiyuan and headed straight for our base, our army would bypass them from the west.

Remember, the main focus of our action this time is caution.

Large groups of troops move at night and rest during the day."

"If anyone lets me know about this, don't blame me for being rude to him. Did you hear me clearly?"

When everyone heard this, they answered in unison: "We all heard it clearly."

"Okay, let's set off immediately." After Ling Yunzhi finished speaking, he waved his hand and quickly jumped onto a Type 59 tank.

Soon, the Type 59 tank roared out of the military camp.

Sitting on the Type 59 tank that he had produced, Ling Yunzhi felt sweeter than eating honey.

The Type 26 tank has excellent performance and is much better than the T tank provided by the Russians.

This tank is also much better than the T34 tank produced by the Russians.

With this kind of tank, it will be no problem to defeat the Japanese.

20 Type 26 tanks led the way, followed closely by T tanks.

Liu Yunzhi's unit is a mechanized unit. The entire unit is composed of either tanks or armored vehicles, or trucks.

There was not a single infantryman or cavalryman, and most of the people were riding motorcycles.

In this way, the marching speed of Ling Yunzhi's team can be guaranteed.

Ling Yunzhi's team can easily reach a marching speed of 200 kilometers a day.

In this era, even the mechanized corps of the mustache could not reach 200 kilometers.

Ling Yunzhi stuck his head out of the tank and saw the marching team behind him stretching for more than ten kilometers.

As night falls and the lights come on, everything around is immersed in darkness.

The team was moving forward faster and faster.

There were few street lights in that era, and once night fell, everything around was quiet.

Ling Yunzhi and his team were already very familiar with the route from Pingshun County to Luliang Mountains.

Even without turning on the lights, they could still drive at full speed under the moonlight.

The Type 50 tank can travel at a speed of up to yards.

In the second half of the night, the Luliang Mountains in the distance appeared like the iron spine of an animal.

Ling Yunzhi was extremely happy after seeing this: "Speed ​​up and stay here tonight. Park all the vehicles at Luliang Mountain.

All vehicles must enter the mountain, and no vehicle can be left outside."

Another hour later, all the vehicles entered Luliang Mountain.

The vehicle stalled quickly after entering the mountain.

Everything around soon became quiet.

Ling Yunzhi crawled out of the tank and looked around with a telescope.

"Let all the brothers rest here. The wind is too strong in the valley, so those who can rest in the car should do so."

"Yes……"

"Brigade Commander, do you want to send out scouts?"

"Commander, I think this is a barren place. The Japanese and the traitors will definitely not come here."

When Ling Yunzhi heard this, he quickly shook his head. He knew best what kind of people these little devils were.

There is no guarantee that there will be no Japanese soldiers who will take this route directly to the base.

"Remember this, never relax at any time.

We must send out scouts. We can't let the Japanese take advantage of any opportunity."

"Yes……"

"Remember, have all the scouts wear the Japanese uniforms and be smart."

Wei Dayong nodded and decided to lead the scouts personally.

Soon, more than a dozen sidecar three-wheeled motorcycles rushed out.

All the people on the sidecar were wearing Japanese military uniforms.

Ling Yunzhi's scouts will be sent out dozens of kilometers.

One is to detect the enemy situation.

In addition, clear away all obstacles to the best of your ability.

Soon, everyone fell asleep.

……

The Japanese First Army Headquarters.

Yoshio Shinozuka has given the order.

25 troops headed straight for the base from three directions.

In addition, Taiyuan Airport also provided aerial bombing for these Japanese devils.

This means that once the Japanese and the Eighth Route Army come into conflict, they can send telegrams to the rear at any time, asking the reconnaissance planes in the rear to bomb according to the coordinates they provide.

All the Japanese soldiers were holding back their energy.

For these Japanese devils, they have not won a single battle in all these years.

These little devils were willing to do anything as long as they could kill Wang Tianyou.
