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

"What's Chu Yunfei up to? Shouldn't he be sitting back and watching us fight the Japs to the death?"

Li Jingrong, however, has a different opinion.

Whether in film and television dramas or in real life, Chu Yunfei always portrays himself as an upright and proud soldier.

He still has a good impression of this person.

Chu Yunfei's performance in the Battle of Ping'angle in Bright Sword also confirmed this.

Maybe he really came to help them fight the Japanese this time.

This incident was just a small episode in the Battle of Northwest Shanxi.

Since they came here with sincerity to help them fight the Japanese, we can't just chase them away. The Eighth Route Army still has some magnanimity.

What's more, based on Li Yunlong's understanding of Chu Yunfei, he didn't think that he would do anything to stab him in the back.

Besides, the New 1st and New 2nd Regiments are not pushovers, not to mention Ding Wei and Kong Jie.

The two of them will take care of things over there.

Their attention is mainly focused on Dayukou Pass.

In northwest Shanxi, the Japanese army assembled more than 200,000 troops and launched a full-scale counterattack.

The Japanese troops that had retreated to Huairen, Shuozhou, Ningwu, Xinkou and Datong gathered heavy forces and launched an attack on the towns and key nodes occupied by the Eighth Route Army.

However, the situation did not develop in the direction predicted by the Japanese army.

Although the Japanese relied on their large number of troops to launch a strong counterattack.

But the Eighth Route Army also took corresponding actions.

Abandon some unnecessary locations and defend key nodes.

We can't let the Japanese take back control of the Tongpu Line so easily.

The Eighth Route Army relied on its superior weapons and equipment to withstand the Japanese attack.

In particular, the Eighth Route Army headquarters pulled out all the artillery.

There are about 200 heavy artillery pieces with a caliber of 122 mm or above.

This was also the first time that the Eighth Route Army concentrated so many heavy artillery.

These two hundred or so heavy artillery pieces also played a very crucial role in the Battle of Northwest Shanxi.

It was with the support of these artillery pieces that the Eighth Route Army truly had the capital to fight the Japanese head-on.

During World War II, the importance of fighter planes and tanks continued to increase.

However, artillery, the king of land warfare, is still as powerful as ever and is the core of war.

During the counterattack, the Kwantung Army's aviation division also launched an all-out attack to assist the ground forces in regaining lost territory.

But this time the Kwantung Army's flying unit did not gain much advantage.

In the past, when they faced the Eighth Route Army, they could carry out low-altitude strafing and bombing with impunity.

Because neither the Eighth Route Army, the Central Army nor the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army had air defense capabilities.

Throughout the war, Japanese air forces were able to carry out combat missions with impunity.

Since the design and manufacture of propeller fighters in modern time and space have not been completed, jet fighters cannot be put into service on a large scale.

Therefore, he could only start with air defense weapons to strengthen the Eighth Route Army's air defense capabilities.

This will at least prevent them from being helpless when facing the Japanese planes.

So we supported them with a lot of anti-aircraft weapons.

The Japanese fighter planes generally operate at medium and low altitudes.

Therefore, the reinforced anti-aircraft artillery are mainly 12.7mm and 14.5mm caliber anti-aircraft machine guns and 37mm caliber anti-aircraft guns.

Of course, the Type 59 100mm heavy anti-aircraft gun also provided some support.

However, these anti-aircraft guns are too heavy and are mainly used for air defense of key areas and rarely appear on the front lines.

However, even these thousands of anti-aircraft machine guns and hundreds of anti-aircraft guns were enough to give the Japanese aviation division a hard time.

On the first day, more than 200 fighter planes of the Japanese Air Division launched an all-out attack.

More than 30 aircraft were lost that day.

Although this number may not seem large, it is already a considerable loss for the Japanese.

Telegrams flew to the Taiyuan Command Center like snowflakes.

Prince Higashikuni Naruhiko had a gloomy face the entire day.

Although it seems that we have regained a lot of lost ground today.

But he knew very well that most of these recaptured territories were voluntarily given up by the Eighth Route Army.

Because when their troops arrived, these places were deserted.

It is obvious that the Eighth Route Army retreated on its own initiative.

However, some key places, such as Shanyin County where Huairen was heading to Shuozhou, were still firmly controlled by tens of thousands of Eighth Route Army troops.

Duanjiabao Station and Daniu Station on the road from Ningwu to Xinkou were also occupied by the Eighth Route Army.

Their troops attacked for a whole day but made no progress in these areas.

There was also the Dayukou Pass front. On that day, the 36th Division, the 14th Division and the th Mixed Brigade concentrated nearly heavy troops to launch a fierce attack.

The Dayukou Pass and Yunfengling positions were like a solid wall of steel, standing in front of them without moving an inch.

With these battle reports, how could Prince Higashikuni Naruhiko have a good look on his face?

Now it depends on whether Shilihe Village can make a breakthrough.

Once a breakthrough is made over there, the situation will be opened up.

第37师团、第18炮兵联队、皇协军第7师、骑兵第9旅、步兵第21旅、步兵第32旅、第12炮兵团共计四万余人浩浩荡荡的从大同出发。

They headed towards Shilihe Village along the road beside Shilihe River.

This time the Japanese chose to bring these puppet soldiers with them with the intention of using them as cannon fodder.

Of course, the main reason is the shortage of troops on the front line.

So we can only get these people to make up the numbers, at least it will be of some use.

After all, in the view of the General Staff, the fighting here is not very fierce.

As long as the battle is not against the odds, these puppet troops are unlikely to rebel.

After all, their entire family was in the Japanese-occupied area.

If you want to defect and join the Eighth Route Army, you must also consider the lives of your entire family.

There is a reason why Xia is the only country in the world where the number of puppet troops was greater than the number of regular troops during World War II.

The commander of the 37th Division, Tomoya Saku, and more than people stopped about three kilometers away from the front line of Shilihe Village.

The reason why they dared to move so forward was because they believed that the main artillery force of the independent regiment was concentrated in front of Dayukou Pass.

There can't be too many artillery pieces here.

And they also have a strong artillery force.

Once the Eighth Route Army on the opposite side dared to expose their artillery.

They can also counterattack quickly.

Tomoya Saku was riding a white horse, looking through a telescope at the front line position of Shirikawa Village in front of him.

In his opinion, the establishment of the Eighth Route Army's forward position was both interesting and troublesome.

This has to start with the terrain here.

Here, Shilihe Village passes through the mountains, and it is impossible to move forward along Shilihe.

They could only move forward by crossing the Shilihe Bridge ahead.

However, the Eighth Route Army established a forward position on the other side of the river and firmly controlled the Shilihe Bridge.

This is the situation they are facing now.

Moreover, the enemy's positions were set up in a very standard and tricky manner.

It is obvious that the commander on the opposite side is an experienced soldier, and he has not yet figured out how many troops the other side has.

Suddenly, Sakuchi also felt that this battle was not as easy as he had imagined.

No wonder Li Yunlong confidently transferred all his main forces to Dayukou Pass. It seems there was a reason for this.

"Order the mountain artillery battalion to bombard the Eighth Route Army positions across the river."

"The 18th Artillery Regiment will hide. If you discover any counterattacks from the Eighth Route Army, destroy them immediately."

"At the same time, order the 21st and 32nd Brigades of the Imperial Army to launch an attack to test the firepower on the other side."

Then he turned to an officer and asked, "How are the ferry preparations going?"

The officer immediately said, "Reporting to the division commander, we haven't found any villages or boats upstream or downstream. The engineering regiment is now cutting down trees for emergency construction. The ferry will be ready today."

The makeshift boats could only be used temporarily, but this was enough for them.

While Sakuchi was observing the other side of the river, Ding Wei, Kong Jie and Chu Yunfei were also observing them.

A long team appeared on the mountain path of Shili River and kept moving.

The team included motorized cavalry, large trucks, dozens of tanks, heavy machine gun teams, suicide squads and other teams, forming a convoy hundreds of meters long.

That’s right, this is the Japanese team heading to Shilihe this time.

This time the Japanese army had a total of more than 40,000 troops.

However, the one leading the charge was the 9th Division of the Imperial Army. It seems that these Japanese troops were also very vicious and used these civilians as cannon fodder.

Those who were forced by the Japanese army to threaten their families to send these men to join the Imperial Army in 093 were also very distressed.

If the timing was right, these captured men would also launch a deadly attack on the Japanese army.

To make up for the mistakes they made.

I didn't expect the Japanese command to be so drastic this time. It seems that they are also afraid of the firepower and strength of the independent regiment.

At this time, Li Yunlong also opened a meeting in the command headquarters of the independent regiment.

They were determined to win this battle, so they also had to have a strategy to deal with the Japanese army.

Minimize casualties in your independent regiment.

The Japanese officers ordered the 36th Engineer Brigade to split into more than a dozen teams and disperse.

Ambush on the nearby waterway.

All of this is under Li Yunlong's control.

Li Yunlong saw this scene and said: "Hey, hey, you actually wanted to trick me, little devil, I will make sure you never come back."

Chu Yunfei, who was accompanying him, also saw the deployment of the Japanese officers. Kong Jie, who was behind him, also saw this scene.

Chu Yunfei has experienced many battles, and this battle is very important, so his brain is working fast.

Let's take advantage of the situation. These Japanese officers have only sent out dozens of small teams, apparently to explore the road.

The terrain of Shili River is somewhat complex. It is easy to defend but difficult to attack, and there are many reed islands.

Therefore, it is very suitable for the guerrilla warfare of the independent regiment where Li Yunlong is located.

It just so happens that the engineering team is working hard to build ships, so our army can also shuttle back and forth among the reeds.

The Japanese soldiers were confused.

This was also part of Li Yunlong's plan.
