Bright Sword: Double penetration of the dealer, shocking Li Yunlong

In Taiyuan, after receiving the farewell telegram from the 71st Regiment of Zuoyun County, Yamamoto Ikki immediately reported the news to Yoshio Shinozuka.

After hearing the news, Yoshio Shinozuka was not surprised but happy.

But another piece of news made him angry.

"What? Li Yunlong's independent regiment is equipped with tanks? Is this news true?"

Yamamoto Ikki said solemnly, "General, this is what the 71st Regiment reported. There are about 20 of them, and they are all heavy tanks."

"idiot!"

Shinozuka Yoshio cursed.

"What on earth are those idiots from the Special High Police doing? 20 tanks were transported to Datong, and they didn't even receive a single word of news?"

"The assassination attempt on Li Jingrong hasn't been carried out for so long. They are simply a bunch of rubbish."

"Let's ignore them for now. Although the independent regiment is equipped with tanks, we have them too, and in greater numbers."

"The Chief of Staff of the Gang Department has already gone to Datong. He will be fully responsible for the war there. You must assist him well."

Yamamoto Ikki immediately responded, "Hey, General, don't worry."

Okabe Naosaburo was very fast and arrived in Datong that night.

At the same time, a large number of troops began to be transported by train.

Tens of thousands of Japanese troops poured into Datong from all directions.

The mobilization of tens of thousands of troops is still a huge commotion.

It also alarmed the commander-in-chief of the Second War Zone, Yan Laochuan.

"Why did the Japanese army mobilize so many troops to northwest Shanxi? What happened there?"

The intelligence system of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army was not very powerful, so until now Yan Laochuan was still confused about the Japanese army's actions.

"Commander, I'll go ask."

Soon, the officer came in with a telegram.

"Commander, we've checked and found out that the Japanese army has mobilized at least 30,000 troops to northwest Shanxi."

“Thirty thousand…”

After hearing this number, Yan Laochuan couldn't help but shudder.

After the Battle of Zhongtiao Mountain, his fear of the Japanese army was raised to another level.

If the Japanese army mobilized more than 30,000 troops to attack him, with his current strength, he might not be able to resist.

However, the Japanese army's target was northwest Shanxi, which had nothing to do with him.

"Have you found out what the Japs were doing? I don't remember any of our troops being in northwest Shanxi, so the Japs must be targeting the Eighth Route Army."

Speaking of this, Yan Laochuan also felt a little gloating.

He was happy for a while because the Eighth Route Army suffered heavy losses in the autumn mop-up campaign.

That's how we should do it. Don't always focus on attacking his small fortune. We should focus on dealing with the Eighth Route Army.

The officer nodded and said, "Yes, Commander, according to our intelligence network, a large force of the Eighth Route Army has captured Zuoyun County and blown up the Datong Coal Mine."

"Now the Japanese are furious and have mobilized a large force to encircle and suppress this unit."

"Did you blow up the Datong Coal Mine?"

He was not interested in taking over the small Zuoyun County, but was very interested in the bombing of the Datong Coal Mine.

"Well done! This is how you deal with the Japs. Which unit of the Eighth Route Army blew up the Datong Coal Mine? I want to commend them."

For him, who regards western Shanxi as his own territory.

The Japanese army has been digging the Datong coal mine, which is equivalent to digging his flesh.

The bombing destroyed the plant and production could not be resumed for at least several months.

Of course he was happy.

The officer flipped through the telegram and replied, "It's the independent regiment of the 386th Brigade, commanded by Li Yunlong."

"Li Yunlong?"

After hearing this name, Yan Laochuan's mind immediately emerged with his impression of this person.

“It turned out to be this person.”

He had a very deep impression of Li Yunlong.

Let’s not talk about anything else, just take the 41st Division for example, it was a miracle that they were able to defeat an entire division with the strength of one regiment.

What's more, Li Yunlong has caused a lot of trouble many times.

For example, the Battle of Ling County, the Battle of Wild Wolf Valley, etc.

"Oh, if only I had such a brave general under my command, what a pity."

"That's all. Just draft a commendation for me and send it over."

The former government office building in Zuoyun County has now become the office location of the Datong Military Sub-district Command.

Li Yunlong took a look at the commendation order in front of him and threw it into the trash can.

"A commendation? What the hell is that? That stingy Yan Laoxi, a few bottles of good wine would be better than this."

At this moment, the guard ran in excitedly and shouted, "Commander, Commander, Advisor Li is back, and he brought back a lot of rocket launchers that looked like iron turtles."

Li Yunlong immediately became alert after hearing this.

"Take me to see it quickly."

Li Jingrong left when the battle of Zuoyun County broke out, and he knew that he would definitely bring some good things this time.

I didn't expect that he would be back in just over two days.

The guard drove Li Yunlong directly to a camp on the east side of the city.

At this moment, rows of Type 85 self-propelled rocket launchers are neatly parked on the open playground.

"Brother Li, Brother Li."

Li Yunlong started shouting from a distance.

At this moment, Li Jingrong was pulling Fang Tianrui from the artillery battalion to explain things.

Outside the city, another convoy was heading towards Zuoyun County.

In addition to the leading military jeep, there were a total of five Opel Lightning trucks.

Li Yunlong came to a Type 85 tracked self-propelled rocket launcher and observed it carefully.

Then he looked up at the gun barrels and began to count them.

Seeing him like this, Li Jingrong smiled and said, "No need to count. There are 30 launch tubes in total, with a caliber of 130 mm."

"It's the same as the Type 82 wheeled self-propelled rocket launcher, but it's just mounted on the chassis of an infantry fighting vehicle."

"hiss......"

Li Yunlong took a deep breath and asked, "What is an infantry fighting vehicle? Isn't it a tank?"

Li Jingrong couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. It seemed that there really was no such concept as infantry fighting vehicles now.

He remembered that the prototype of infantry fighting vehicles only began to appear in the 50s.

It was not until the Russians developed the BMP-1 infantry fighting vehicle that they had a real combat infantry fighting vehicle.

As for the current half-track vehicles and the like, they can only be regarded as general-purpose armored vehicles.

In this case, when there are more people who can drive tanks, we can start considering matching them with infantry fighting vehicles for various purposes.

Although the Type 59 tank is very powerful, it also needs the cooperation of infantry, and only infantry fighting vehicles can truly achieve coordinated combat between infantry and tanks.

Li Jingrong considered it for a moment before saying, "This type of infantry fighting vehicle is an armored combat vehicle used for mobile infantry operations. It can operate in conjunction with tanks or independently."

"After a while, when the tank battalion has more people, I will bring some to you and form a complete tank armored unit."

After hearing this, Li Yunlong's eyes brightened up.

"I won't be shy about it. It's quite difficult to train the tank crew members. We in the Eighth Route Army still have too few educated people."

"If it weren't for the political commissar, I'd probably have a hard time putting together a battalion."

Zhao Gang paid close attention to the independent regiment's cultural studies. As the equipment became more and more advanced, the cultural requirements began to gradually increase.

This is when the benefits of cultural learning come into play.

At least half of the soldiers in the current independent regiment have mastered certain knowledge.

At least there is no problem in daily life training.

There were dozens of people following behind him.

These people look rather young, more like a group of student soldiers.

"No, get out of my way. I want to see what kind of treasures these are."

"The rocket launcher is actually a tracked rocket launcher..."

Among this group of soldiers, someone exclaimed after seeing rows of Type 85 self-propelled rocket launchers.

Li Jingrong looked at the group of soldiers in surprise. It turned out that these soldiers were knowledgeable.

Li Jingrong nodded with a smile and said: "Yes, these are tracked self-propelled rocket launchers, 130-barrel mm caliber, with a maximum range of

The range can reach 15 kilometers.”

“15 kilometers…”

Suddenly, the way he looked at these rocket launchers changed.

For a moment, I felt that the 107mm rocket launcher, which had just been equipped, was a bit boring.

For artillery, the longer the range, the stronger the suppression power, not to mention rocket launchers.

This thing fires 30 shells at you at once. Who can withstand that?

One round of rocket launchers will be enough to cover their artillery positions.

"Although the Type 82 self-propelled rocket launcher has a range of only 10 kilometers, its mobility can make up for this shortcoming."

He nodded quickly and said, "That's great. I'd like to thank Consultant Li first. When are you free to visit our headquarters?"

"There are many people in our military sub-district who want to meet you and thank you in person."
