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

Now the New Second Regiment has also formed an artillery battalion.

This artillery battalion is not formed by a few mortars as before, but a real artillery battalion.

They are equipped with Type 541 122mm howitzers and Type 66 152mm cannon howitzers.

These artillery pieces were naturally eliminated and replaced from the independent regiment.

After all, the current independent regiment has replaced towed artillery with self-propelled artillery.

It is precisely because of these equipments, coupled with sufficient ammunition supplies, that Kong Jie became so arrogant.

Li Yunlong squinted his eyes at Kong Jie and said, "Old Kong, you've been a little bit arrogant lately. Do you know how many little devils we have to face?"

He learned this word from Li Jingrong, and he felt that it was very suitable for Kong Jie's current situation.

Kong Jie sat down on his horse and sword, tapped his pipe and said, "I don't care how many Japanese devils come this time. I will kill as many as they come."

"If the sky falls, there are tall people to hold it up. Besides, our New Second Regiment is no pushover. We can also fight against the Japanese invaders."

Ding Wei smiled and said nothing, then said: "Lao Li, this time our troops are under your command, please don't accuse us of being unfair."

"My new regiment has 5,000 people. You know how strong it is. They are all the veterans you led before."

"But if you want us to hand over the command, we have conditions."

Li Yunlong chuckled, nodded, and said, "I knew you two wouldn't be the type to suffer any loss. How could you possibly be so willing to hand over the command of the troops?"

"Go ahead, Brother Li is here too, let me hear what conditions you propose."

Li Yunlong knew what they were talking about without them telling him.

It is obvious that he is interested in this business and wants to get a piece of the pie.

This must be because they both got a taste of success last time.

But next they will face a large number of Japanese devils.

Although their equipment is very good, it can even be said that they crushed the Japanese.

However, the training time was short, and they only initially formed combat effectiveness, and had not yet experienced actual combat.

If the New 1st and New 2nd Regiments were under his command, with an additional 8,000 troops, the difficulty of the battle could be reduced a little.

Kong Jie and Ding Wei looked at each other, and then Kong Jie gave Ding Wei a wink.

Ding Wei then said, "I also know that the role our two regiments can play in this battle is limited, so we won't ask for too much."

"We only want 30% of this deal. Don't say we are asking for too much. This time we are handing over all our military power, our property and our lives.

I leave it to you. This is not too much, right? "

Li Yunlong's eyes rolled. Thirty percent is not a small amount, but if it can be exchanged for these eight thousand troops, it is not bad either.

Besides, they can’t use up all these things, and the extra ones will have to be handed in later.

It would be better to give it to your brother. After all, we are friends who have risked our lives for each other, so there is no loss in the exchange.

"Okay, thirty percent is thirty percent. I'm in charge. I'll give the orders from now on."

Ding Wei and Kong Jie were overjoyed when they heard that Li Yunlong did not bargain.

Kong Jie immediately patted his chest and said, "You can give us orders. If you want us to go east, we will never go west."

Li Yunlong came to the sand table and pointed at Zuoyun County. He said, "Do you remember the battle when the Japanese besieged us after we took Zuoyun County?"

Kong Jie's eyes widened, and he immediately said, "I remember this very well. I was the one who led the troops to conquer the Datong Coal Mine."

"This was the most satisfying battle I've ever fought in all these years. I also saved a lot of civilians."

Ding Wei squinted his eyes and looked back and forth in the sand table, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Old Li, do you want to recreate that battle?"

Li Yunlong nodded, then shook his head and said, "Yes and no."

Hearing Li Yunlong start to keep things in suspense, the impatient Kong Jie said in a hurry: "So is it or not?"

Li Jingrong said with a smile at this time: "Don't be anxious, Captain Kong, let me tell you."

"Although we don't know how many people the Japanese intend to send to deal with us this time."

"But judging by the current troop strength they have deployed in Datong and its surrounding areas, their total strength should be no less than 50,000 or 50,000, perhaps even 70,000 or 80,000."

Logically speaking, sending a regiment to deal with the more than 20,000 Eighth Route Army soldiers was considered a decent move.

But the independent regiment did not follow the rules.

All previous battles have proved that without an advantage in troop strength, it is impossible to gain an advantage over the independent regiment.

Not to mention annihilating the independent regiment.

So the troops sent by the Japanese this time will definitely be more than last time, and their equipment may also be better.

After all, Prince Higashikuni Naruhiko came with a mission and was determined to wipe out Li Yunlong.

His determination can be seen from the troops he mobilized this time.

So fifty thousand, sixty thousand, or even seventy thousand or eighty thousand is entirely possible.

Ding Wei and Kong Jie both agree with this point.

"And the Japanese have only two routes to attack us."

"The first is to launch an offensive along the Shili River from the direction of Datong."

"The second is to launch an attack on our troops along the highway from the Datong Coal Mine."

"As for the third route, it's also possible. That's going around Pinglu County to our rear."

"But the main force of our 129th Division is stationed there. It will be difficult for the Japanese to break through our defense line from there."

"This first route has narrow terrain and is easy to defend but difficult to attack."

"So we only need to place one troop here, and we can easily defend this place."

"The focus is on Dayukou. This must be the focus of the Japanese attack."

"So we decided to adopt a one-defense-one-offense battle plan."

Ding Wei still squinted his eyes. With his strategic vision, he immediately understood Li Jingrong's battle plan.

"So, Advisor Li is saying that we should defend Shilihe, while the Independent Regiment will use the offensive strategy instead of the defensive strategy, utilizing mechanized forces to engage the Japanese in a decisive battle?"

Li Jingrong nodded and said, "That's right. The current independent regiment is completely different from the past. The entire regiment has completed the mechanization reform."

"We have powerful armored vehicles and superior artillery firepower, so we don't need to fight any positional battles with the Japanese."

"If we defend, we will actually give up our advantage in armor."

"Look at the terrain here."

Li Jingrong placed the baton on a sign with the word Dayukou written on it.

"Dayukou Pass is currently being guarded by a regiment of Japanese troops, and the main force has begun to move towards this side."

"This is exactly the junction of the Fenhe Plain and the Luliang Mountains. To the east is the vast Fenhe Plain, and to the west is the Luliang Mountains."

"So we have to take the initiative and take this place down."

"Otherwise, it would be difficult for our armored tanks to exert their advantages in terrain like the Luliang Mountains."

Kong Jie took a puff of his pipe and said, "But there is a regiment of Japanese soldiers defending here, and there are quite a few Japanese soldiers stationed around here."

"Additionally, the terrain here is limited. It is easy to defend but difficult to attack. It will be very difficult to take it."

Li Jingrong smiled and said, "Captain Kong, please don't worry about this. We have already formulated the battle plan and will act tonight."

"And your New Second Regiment and Captain Ding's New First Regiment will immediately proceed to Shilihe Village to garrison. The pressure you will face will be considerable."

Ding Wei smiled lightly and said nonchalantly, "Don't worry, if our New 1st Regiment loses even an inch of ground, not only will we lose 30% of our weapons and supplies, but I will also personally go to the headquarters to confess my guilt..."

With the advantages of terrain, defense and equipment.

If the Japanese could still break through their defense line, they would really be killed in a head-on collision.

"But Consultant Li, I have another request."

Li Jingrong glanced at Ding Wei, nodded and said, "You go ahead."

"You also know that our two regiments don't have many anti-aircraft weapons, and if the Japanese launch an attack, the planes will definitely come to bomb us."

"You must come and help us when we are bombed."

Li Jingrong suddenly realized, "I thought it was something serious. Don't worry, I'm telling you, you won't see any Japanese planes appearing overhead."

Kong Jie slammed the table excitedly and shouted, "Advisor Li, with your words, we two brothers are relieved."

"This war is urgent, and mobilizing troops will take time. We won't be eating dinner for free. Let's go first."

"After this war is won, I, Kong Jie, will treat you to a meal at the best restaurant in Zuoyun County."

After Ding Wei and Kong Jie left, it was almost five o'clock in the afternoon.

Li Yunlong and Li Jingrong came to the drone control center of the Datong Military Sub-district Combat Command in Zuoyun County together.

Li Jingrong looked at the screen of the console.

At this moment, a military drone is cruising over Dayukou Pass.

The image displayed on the screen is the current real-time image of Dayukou Pass.

Dayukou Pass was just a temporary checkpoint with very simple conditions.

At that time, the Japanese could only build tents on flat ground in the wild to serve as barracks.

In addition to training during the day, they also dig fortifications, build artillery towers, etc.

Now it's time for dinner, and they are sitting together preparing to eat, which is quite lively.

Li Yunlong saw the densely packed heads of the Japanese soldiers on the screen and asked worriedly, "Brother, will your tactics really work?"

Li Jingrong glanced at him and said, "Don't worry, you'll see the true power of the helicopter tonight. We will definitely be able to take this level."
