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

Chapter 121 It’s better to teach a man to fish than to teach him to fish

"Boom boom boom..."

There was an urgent knock on the door, and Shinozuka Yoshio's heart sank.

From the sound of the knock on the door, I knew that this might not be a good sign.

"Come in!"

However, he still suppressed his emotions and spoke in a deep voice.

An officer came in with a telegram, his face looking somewhat sad.

"Commander, a telegram has arrived from Taiyuan Airport and the 14th Division."

After seeing this expression, Shinozuka Yoshio closed his eyes in pain and said in a trembling voice: "Speak!"

"The fleet was attacked by a strange missile launched by the Eighth Route Army. Only eight planes returned to the airport. Major General Abe Nobuo had already committed seppuku in his office."

Shinozuka Yoshio's eyes trembled slightly.

"go on."

"The 14th Division came under heavy fire from the Eighth Route Army's rocket artillery. Currently, only about personnel, including those with minor or serious injuries, have been evacuated. The rest are still returning to their units."

"The 113th Division suffered no casualties."

After hearing this, Yoshio Shinozuka suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes full of disbelief.

"How can this be?"

About 4,000 people were recruited.

In other words, in less than two days, the 14th Division suffered more than casualties.

Moreover, they had not even seen the Eighth Route Army before, as they were all killed by rocket launchers.

He had never seen with his own eyes how powerful the rocket launcher was, but it couldn't be that powerful, right?

But this battle report was indeed submitted from the 14th Division Headquarters.

It took a long time for Yoshio Shinozuka to recover from his shock.

As the commander, no matter how angry, sad, confused and helpless he feels at the moment, he has to clean up this mess.

He knew that whether he won or lost this battle, his days were over.

Such heavy losses for a standing division had never happened before on the battlefield of the ancient country.

There were a total of eight regiments, but now only one regiment is left.

He has to take the blame no matter what.

In addition, Naosaburo Okabe, who was commanding the front line, could not escape either.

"Order the remaining elements of the 14th Division and the 113th Division to withdraw to Datong and await further orders."

Li Yunlong set up this artillery array in Shilihe Village, clearly telling him that this road was blocked.

He no longer had the strength to deal with these rocket launchers.

It would be too dangerous to keep the 14th Division, which had lost its combat effectiveness, on the front line.

The 113th Division is, after all, just a special division.

Even the 14th Division was almost wiped out in the bombing, so there was no point for them to stay on the front line.

In order to prevent the Eighth Route Army from launching a surprise attack on Datong, which was short of troops.

It would be best to let them return to defend Datong.

On the other side, the 116rd Tank Division and the th Division were not much better off.

From now on, it seems that unless he concentrates the military forces of the entire Jinxi Province.

Otherwise, there is no chance of taking back Zuoyun County.

But this is simply impossible.

In order to deal with an independent regiment, the entire Jinxi Province was abandoned.

If he dared to make this crazy decision, he would probably be taken away by the military police the next day.

"Order the 116rd Tank Division and the th Division to garrison Shuozhou to prevent the Eighth Route Army from attacking the Tongpu Railway."

The battle ended under the command of Yoshio Shinozuka, giving people a feeling of starting well but ending poorly.

The main reason was that Li Yunlong underestimated the strength of the current independent regiment and fought too hard.

Another thing is that the Japanese jumped into the pit themselves.

Not only did they carry out a nighttime air raid on Shilihe Village, they also sent the 14th Division to die.

Of course, the main reason is that Yoshio Shinozuka has no idea about the current situation of the independent group.

Otherwise, he would not have sent only four divisions to deal with the independent regiment.

The next day, Li Yunlong received the news when he woke up.

The 14th Division and the 113th Division in Shilihe Village and the 474rd Tank Division and the 116th Division in the direction of Hill had all retreated overnight.

"The Japanese are running away now? Aren't they planning to retake Zuoyun County?"

Li Yunlong said in a daze after hearing the news.

Ding Wei smiled happily.

"The little Japs are hurting so badly. Old Li, have you counted how many little Japs we've killed in less than two days?"

"I can't say how many there are, but the Japanese casualties are definitely over 20,000."

"Twenty thousand people."

Ding Wei raised two fingers.

"This is equivalent to a division of Japanese soldiers."

However, Ding Wei still underestimated the casualties of the Japanese army.

Their casualties were not just 20,000, but close to 30,000.

Not only were there heavy casualties in personnel, but also heavy casualties in equipment.

There are only more than 10 planes left at Taiyuan Airport now.

The 3rd Tank Division is now no longer worthy of its name, because their tanks have been almost wiped out, with only dozens of them trembling.

After the news of the battle in Zuoyun County spread, it caused quite a stir in the entire Bibei and even the entire ancient country.

All forces began to look at this independent group differently.

General Ridge.

The target of the Japanese army's large-scale mopping-up operation was not only the Eighth Route Army, but also the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army.

The 358th Regiment led by Chu Yunfei was also trapped in the encirclement of heavy Japanese troops and eventually had to retreat to the northwest of Shanxi.

And Jiangjunling is where their base is located.

It is very close to the Eighth Route Army's Luliang base, but it is still a bit far from Datong, a full one or two hundred kilometers away.

However, Chu Yunfei has always attached great importance to collecting intelligence about Li Yunlong, and believes that this person will become his lifelong enemy.

Therefore, they were very concerned about the intelligence from Zuoyun County, and they received the intelligence as soon as the battle situation changed.

When he saw the battle report, Chu Yunfei's eyes showed disbelief.

Chief of Staff Fang Ligong, seeing his expression, asked curiously, "Commander, what happened? Li Yunlong was defeated so quickly?"

Chu Yunfei exhaled a breath after a while and said, "Defeat? It was Li Yunlong who defeated the Japs."

"According to the intelligence we have obtained, the Japanese 14th and 113th Divisions in the direction of Shilihe Village, and the 800th and 116th Divisions in the direction of Zuoyun County have all suffered heavy losses."

"We don't know the exact losses yet, but according to intelligence, the casualties are at least around 20,000."

"And this time the Japanese suffered heavy equipment losses. The battlefield was littered with the wreckage of tanks and trucks."

"It's only been a few days. How on earth did they do it?"

Fang Ligong was also stunned when he heard this. After recovering from the shock, he exclaimed, "How is this possible? The independent regiment is only one regiment, and the Japanese have four full divisions. How is this possible?"

They knew best the combat effectiveness of the Japanese army.

Even someone as proud as Chu Yunfei would not dare to say that he could defeat the Japanese troops of the same number.

Because it is really too difficult, unless you have the right time, place and people.

What the independent regiment faced was not just a few thousand Japanese troops, but ten times more than a few thousand.

Among the four divisions, one is a permanent division and one is a mechanized division.

These two divisions are enough to conquer the entire northern battlefield.

However, there are only these two divisions plus a special division of more than 20,000 people.

They were defeated in front of a small independent regiment.

If this information wasn't so credible.

Chu Yunfei would think this was a fairy tale.

How long has the independent regiment been established? How do they have such strong combat effectiveness?

Li Jingrong's figure immediately appeared in Chu Yunfei's mind.

Only this person can make the independent regiment have such terrifying combat effectiveness.

"Chief of Staff Fang, please draft a telegram for me, requesting that our unit be transferred to the vicinity of Zuoyun County for development."

"I want to see for myself what tremendous changes have taken place in the independent regiment."

Now the Japanese army has retreated and Zuoyun County has been captured by the Eighth Route Army.

It was the best time for their Shanxi-Suiyuan Army to go there and develop.

The Second War Zone Command will definitely agree to his proposal.

Chu Yunfei's transfer order came very quickly, and the Second War Zone Command passed down the order on the same day.

The independent regiment's impressive performance really frightened Yan Laochuan.

He can only feel at ease if there is a troop keeping an eye on the independent regiment.

So when Chu Yunfei's request was telexed to him, he approved it immediately.

He also mobilized a reinforced artillery battalion to the 358th Regiment.

As one of the ace troops under his command, he also hoped that the 358th Regiment could bring him honor in northwestern Shanxi.

We can’t let this independent regiment steal all the limelight.

This reinforced artillery battalion is a recent arrival of Citibank.

It was the artillery that assisted them.

As an elite reinforced infantry regiment, the 358th Regiment is qualified to be equipped with this artillery battalion.

"Order the troops to prepare to march to Niuxinbao, Youyu County. That will be our new base from now on."

Youyu County is just northwest of Zuoyun County, only a few dozen kilometers away.

Niuxinbao is located between Youyu County and Zuoyun County, and is also located in Luliang Mountain.

It is only more than 20 kilometers away from Zuoyun County.

This is like sticking to Li Yunlong directly and intending to be a nail in his side.

But now the independent regiment is not afraid of a small 358th regiment.

Even if a Japanese division came, Li Yunlong would dare to rush up and beat them, let alone the 358th Regiment.

Especially after this battle, the independent regiment will usher in a major boost in combat effectiveness.

After gaining such a large territory, Li Jingrong also felt that it was time to develop air power.

Otherwise, it would be a big deal to just passively take the blame all the time.

Although it will take some time for the newly designed aircraft to arrive, it is also possible to purchase an aircraft in stock.

After the battle, the system rewards were also distributed.

The weight that Li Jingrong can carry has been directly increased to 2 tons, which is enough to carry most industrial products.

In addition, a biochemical cabin was also awarded.

I have to say that these cyborgs are very useful.

Although these cyborgs are not top talents, they are capable of everything.

There is no problem as a mid- to low-level technician or combatant.

By adding a biochemical chamber, the efficiency of his biochemical humans training can be doubled.

The schedule for transforming the independent regiment into a mechanized corps will also be brought forward.

Li Yunlong also reaped rich rewards from this battle.

In total, the harvest amounted to about 8000 tons.

Moreover, the independent regiment suffered very few casualties in this battle, with only a few hundred soldiers killed or wounded.

It can be said that this was the most enjoyable battle Li Yunlong had ever fought.

Of course, the biggest contributor in this battle was the Type 85 self-propelled rocket launcher.

If it weren't for those thousands of rockets, this battle would probably not have been so easy.

"Brother, please bring me some more small equipment this time. Although we have conquered Zuoyun County, we are in dire need of various supplies."

"As the saying goes, it's better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish. I also plan to do some small construction and try to be self-sufficient."

Li Jingrong agreed with his idea and said, "Old Li, your cultural studies during this period have not been in vain. Your ideological awareness has been rising rapidly."

Li Yunlong chuckled and said, "That's right. Although I, Old Li, am a rough man, I am also a genius. It's easy for me to learn anything."

Ding Wei and Kong Jie also came over at this time and said, "Advisor Li, you have to bring me some big guys this time."

Li Jingrong smiled and nodded, saying, "Don't worry, you won't lose anything that's yours. I'm leaving now."
