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

After the two exchanged greetings, Brigade Commander Chen thought of Li Yunlong who was left out.

He pointed at the soldiers behind him who were still peeking and looking at the Type 85 self-propelled rocket launcher.

"Li Yunlong, these are the soldiers of the independent regiment specially approved by Yan'an."

"Don't underestimate them. They look like new recruits, but they are different from other new recruits. They are educated and skilled soldiers."

"Headquarters secured these for you because they considered the Independent Regiment was in dire need of talent. Train them well and don't let their talents go to waste."

"This can be considered as a reward from headquarters for retaking Zuoyun County and opening up the passage to the base."

After hearing this, Li Yunlong felt like he was hit by a pie.

This made him feel flattered, and he said happily: "Thank you, thank you for taking care of our independent regiment."

Then he looked at the group of soldiers with shining eyes.

With the addition of this new force, the independent regiment will be able to master and adapt the new equipment at a much faster pace.

The independent regiment has no shortage of ordinary soldiers, but what it lacks most is technical soldiers who have received professional training.

Don't underestimate them because they are not many in number.

But they can lead two by one, and four by two.

In less than two years, the entire independent regiment will no longer have to worry about technical arms.

They have enough equipment, so they just need to practice hard.

It's just like the training for new recruits of an independent regiment.

During the recruit training, recruits are required to fire 500 rounds of ammunition before they can officially join the company.

In the past, these 500 bullets would be enough for a soldier to fight for several years, and this is not an exaggeration at all.

Then the group walked on the streets of the county town.

Brigade Commander Chen habitually held the whip and walked on his own, while Li Yunlong followed Brigade Commander Chen half a step behind him.

Although the two were only half a level apart, even the brave Li Yunlong did not dare to cross the level.

"Li Yunlong, your capture of Zuoyun County will connect the base area with the Jinsui base area. This achievement is credited to you. Headquarters is very happy about this."

"But the Japanese are very unhappy. Not only did you annihilate their entire regiment and capture a county town, you also destroyed the Datong coal mine."

"Do you know how many troops the Japanese have mobilized to deal with you?"

Li Yunlong had the intelligence support of Li Jingrong, so of course he knew it.

Hearing this, his face became a little heavy.

"Brigade Commander, I know this. The Japanese have mobilized the 14rd Tank Division, the 113th Division, the 116th Division, and the th Division."

"This little devil really thinks highly of me. He actually mobilized four divisions and more than 50,000 people to encircle and suppress me."

Brigade Commander Chen glanced at Li Jingrong in surprise and said, "This information must have been provided by Consultant Li. I didn't expect Consultant Li's intelligence capabilities to be so amazing, able to collect such detailed information in such a short time."

The intelligence they collected did not specify the specific numbers of the Japanese troops, they only knew that they had at least two divisions of troops.

This kind of information that is accurate to the specific number can only be explained by Li Jingrong.

Li Jingrong smiled modestly and said, "This is just information I collected accidentally. It's nothing."

Seeing that Li Jingrong didn't want to talk, Brigade Commander Chen stopped asking and continued to talk to Li Yunlong.

"Now that you know this, you should know what kind of situation you, Ding Wei, and Kong Jie will face next. So? Do you have any solutions?"

Li Yunlong nodded and said, "We have discussed it and have come up with a plan to deal with this. Brigade Commander, please follow me back to the headquarters and I will explain it to you in detail."

Soon the group arrived at the headquarters compound.

The General Staff had already prepared a fairly sophisticated sand table in the hall, with red, blue and white flags marking the troop deployments of both sides.

Looking at the sand table in front of him, Brigade Commander Chen was very surprised.

I didn't expect that this independent regiment actually has such professional staff.

Making a sand table requires detailed data and intelligence as support.

I think this should also be from Li Jingrong's hand.

Li Yunlong came to the sand table, pointed to the location of Zuoyun County and said, "Brigade Commander, take a look at the terrain of Zuoyun County."

"A Shili River runs from northeast to southwest through the Luliang Mountains, forming a plain here, and Zuoyun County is established in this plain."

"There are three roads leading to Zuoyun County."

"They are from Datong, southwest along the Shili River into the Luliang Mountains, and you can reach it directly by following the river."

"The second road is the one opened up from the Datong Coal Mine."

"The third route leads to Shuoping in the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia Border Region. This is the base of our Fifth Military Sub-district."

"So if the Japanese army wanted to attack Zuoyun County, they could only go along the Shili River and the Datong Coal Mine."

"Shilihe Village is where our independent regiment is stationed. It must be one of the main attack directions of the Japanese army."

"I had previously planned to send the main force of the independent regiment to set up a blocking position here, blocking the Japanese offensive layer by layer, and using the terrain advantage here to strike hard at the Japanese army."

"But now it seems that it is no longer necessary."

Brigade Commander Chen looked thoughtful and said, "Are you planning to use those rocket launchers to block the road?"

After hearing this, Li Yunlong immediately complimented him: "Brigade Commander, you are really smart. You guessed my little trick right away."

"That's right. Deploying these 30 self-propelled rocket launchers here, along with several thousand troops, will be enough to stop an attack by a Japanese army ten times its size."

"Based on my guess, the Japanese 14th Division must be the main attacking force along this route, and there will be another division coordinating the operation."

"As for this second route, I have already started planning it."

"The terrain here is open, and there is a highway leading to Zuoyun County, which is very suitable for the Japanese armored forces."

"So the attacking force must be their 3rd Tank Division plus one or two Infantry Divisions."

"Hill 474 is very suitable for blocking operations."

"I will gather the main forces of the New 1st and New 2nd Regiments and my independent regiment to set up a blocking position again..."

"At the same time, mobilize the tank battalion and most of the anti-tank firepower and deploy them here."

"As long as the Japanese tanks arrive, I promise to turn them all into scrap metal."

After hearing Li Yunlong's arrangements, Brigade Commander Chen nodded with satisfaction.

This Li Yunlong is indeed a capable person. It was the right decision to transfer him here.

This defense system is designed to be watertight and is highly feasible.

"Very good, let's deploy according to this battle plan. If you're short on manpower, I'll transfer the 772nd Regiment to your command."

Zuoyun County is crucial to the base area of Datong.

Holding this place is equivalent to revitalizing the entire chess game in northwest Shanxi.

Therefore, he and the headquarters attach great importance to this place.

Li Yunlong shook his head and said, "Brigade Commander, our independent regiment, together with the new first and second regiments, has sufficient manpower, so we don't need the 772nd Regiment yet."

Although this battle brought some pressure to the independent regiment, it was just pressure.

What else can the 772nd Regiment do besides taking credit?

Moreover, the Fifth Military Sub-district also has to defend against the Japanese invaders in the Suiyuan area.

This will directly transfer a main regiment, which will put too much pressure on the defense there.

If it were before, he would not be polite, but since the arrival of these 30 Type 85 self-propelled rocket launchers, it seems that there is no need to ask for reinforcements.

He had already thought it through. In addition to deploying part of the heavy 5.2 artillery battalion and 30 self-propelled rocket launchers here, it would be enough to deploy only four infantry battalions.

As for air defense, it is left to the surface-to-air missile forces.

They can defeat as many Japanese aviation troops as they want.

Although the independent regiment has not yet been equipped with aircraft, its air defense capabilities are not weak.

With the current air defense capabilities of the independent regiment, there is no problem in supporting the air defense network in this sky.

It took the Japanese army a total of five days to complete the assembly of troops and supplies.

During these few days, the Independent Regiment, the New First Regiment and the New Second Regiment were also not idle.

In addition to setting up defensive fortifications, the next step is to train rocket launchers.

It was not until the sixth day after taking Zuoyun County that they received the latest intelligence.

The Japanese army was dispatched.

The Japanese army's troop deployment was basically the same as Li Yunlong's speculation.

Because this is the most reasonable deployment of troops for the Japanese army.

The joint attack by the two armies can ensure that the independent regiment's retreat routes are completely blocked, and they will be completely annihilated in Zuoyun County.

By then, even if the independent regiment broke through, it could only hide in the deep mountains of Luliang and would not pose any threat to them.

The last battle of Wild Wolf Valley was a great humiliation for the Chief of Staff of the First Army, Okabe Naosaburo.

The same is true for the 3rd Tank Division.

Although the commander of the 3rd Tank Division has been replaced, the annihilation of an entire tank regiment has been recorded in the history of their unit.

Needless to say, the 14th Division was also beaten by Li Yunlong's independent regiment, and the beating was severe.

Therefore, these two divisions were very active in attacking the independent regiment.

I hope this battle can wash away the previous shame.

This time, Naozaburo Okabe will personally command the battle at the front line, and his headquarters will also move along with the 27th Tank Division.

In fact, in addition to these four divisions, Okabe Naosaburo also hopes to mobilize the Army Aviation Force.

But the Army Aviation Corps refused to do it.

Every time Li Yunlong's independent regiment launched an air raid, it was almost wiped out.

Now the number of fighter planes lost to Li Yunlong is as high as two or three hundred.

This is equivalent to the total number of fighter planes of the Northern Army.

Yoshio Shinozuka did not dare to send out any more Army Aviation aircraft until the Independent Regiment's air defense forces were completely eliminated.

However, even without the Army Aviation, Okabe Naosaburo was confident that he could annihilate the Independent Regiment this time.

How could a small Zuoyun County possibly withstand the siege from both sides by tens of thousands of imperial troops?

The tank advance unit of the 3rd Tank Division was at the front of the team.

Behind the 113rd Tank Division were more than people from the th Special Division.

In addition, this time Okabe Naosaburo also brought an Imperial Army brigade.

Their main function is to act as cannon fodder and to boost morale.

"boom......"

Suddenly, several explosions occurred not far away, which immediately woke up Chief of Staff Naosaburo Okabe, who was a little drowsy sitting in the car.

At this moment, the new commander of the 3rd Tank Division, Takahashi Shunta, also emerged from a command tank.

"what happened?"

Soon a soldier came running over.

"Report to the division commander, the tank advance team was ambushed ahead and is now on its way back."

In less than twenty minutes, several Type 95 light tanks drove back.

The entire tank advance team consisted of more than ten tank compartments.

Now, only a few of them have returned.

Seeing this, Takahashi Shunta almost felt dizzy.

His face began to turn gloomy, and the anger in his heart slowly accumulated.

He walked out of the tank directly, and when he saw the advance team officer coming back from a distance, he immediately slapped him in the face.

"Baga, what's wrong with you? Where are the other chariots?"
