In the afternoon, the battle of Ling County came to an end.

Under the siege of more than 67 independent regiments, the Japanese th Regiment was almost completely wiped out, and the results of the battle were extremely brilliant.

In the former gendarmerie camp in Beicheng, Taro Ishihara led more than ten remaining soldiers and looked at the Eighth Route Army soldiers who surrounded them, and a miserable smile appeared on his face.

"I want to know, which unit are you from?" Holding up his command knife, Taro Ishihara asked in stiff Chinese.

"This is the Independent Regiment of the 129th Brigade, 386th Division of the Eighth Route Army."

After hearing this sound, the soldiers consciously made way for each other.

Li Yunlong, Zhao Gang, Li Jingrong and their group walked in.

When he saw Ishihara Taro's shoulder badges, Li Yunlong said with some surprise: "It turned out to be that old devil Ishihara Taro. I didn't expect he hadn't been killed yet."

Although Taro Ishihara didn't understand Chinese very well, he could still hear the three words "Independent Regiment" very clearly.

A trace of bitterness appeared on his face, and he said in Japanese: "Independent Regiment, it really is you. Is your Independent Regiment the only one attacking Ling County this time?"

Li Yunlong naturally couldn't understand bird language, but Li Jingrong could understand it and could even speak it.

"That's right. To defeat a small county like Ling County, the independent regiment is enough."

"I don't know if you have any last words. If not, I'll send you on your way now."

After saying that, he took a Type 81 light machine gun from a soldier, pulled the bolt directly and aimed it at them.

Surrender? You're overthinking it. In Li Jingrong's eyes, only dead devils were good devils. Surrendering was too easy for them.

Ishihara Taro's face changed and he said, "This is not in line with the spirit of Bushido. I demand a one-on-one duel."

Bushido? One-on-one duels? You never talked about Bushido during the Nanjing Massacre.

Li Jingrong smiled disdainfully and said, "Fuck your Bushido spirit."

As soon as he finished speaking, he pulled the trigger and shot Taro Ishihara into a sieve in an instant.

After seeing Li Jingrong open fire, the other soldiers also pulled the trigger, and more than a dozen Japanese soldiers were shot into pieces.

When Zhao Gang saw this scene, his face changed, and he wanted to stop it but it was too late.

Li Yunlong grabbed Zhao Gang and said, "Old Zhao."

Zhao Gang glanced at him and nodded silently. Looking at the corpses of the Japanese soldiers scattered all over the ground, Li Jingrong showed a satisfied look.

Only if he kills the Japanese with his own hands will his trip to this time and space be worthwhile.

Although there are not many Japanese soldiers killed by her gun now, the number of Japanese soldiers who died indirectly at her hands is not a small number.

Li Yunlong went forward and picked up Ishihara Taro's command knife. Seeing that it was riddled with bullet holes, he sighed and said, "What a pity! If it were intact, it could be exchanged for a lot of good things."

After throwing away the samurai sword in his hand, Li Yunlong began to assign tasks.

"The fourth and fifth battalions are responsible for cleaning up the battlefield and repairing the city's defenses. I don't ask you to build Ling County into an iron wall, but you can't just disband after a single bombardment."

"The Third Battalion is responsible for evacuating the civilians from the city and relocating them to the base for resettlement."

"The first and second battalions are responsible for the defense of the city. I want to turn this place into a slaughterhouse for the Japanese."

Although it was not difficult for the independent regiment to capture Ling County, it only cost hundreds of casualties.

They wiped out an entire regiment of Japanese troops and captured Ling County within a day.

This was a remarkable achievement, but defending Ling County was not easy.

Although he didn't know how many reinforcements the Japanese had coming this way, it was definitely not a small number.

The Japanese reinforcements mainly came from two directions, one was Taiyuan in the west, and the other was Datong, an important city in the north.

The Japanese reinforcements from Taiyuan were blocked by the main force of the 129th Division and the troops from the Jinzhong base.

However, the current base area only has enough troops to defend this side. If the Japanese army transfers troops from Datong, the independent regiment will have to carry the load on its own.

Of course, there are also the New 1st and New 2nd Regiments. However, the New 1st and New 2nd Regiments suffered heavy losses in the last blocking battle.

There are many new recruits in the army, and the combat effectiveness they can exert is limited.

Li Yunlong set up the regiment headquarters in a large courtyard in the city that was not affected by the fighting.

This place was originally the home of a puppet army commander, and was naturally requisitioned by Li Yunlong.

In the courtyard, Li Yunlong asked Li Jingrong, "Brother, the Japanese planes flew over our heads this morning. Is there any problem over there?"

Although the independent regiment now has an anti-aircraft machine gun company and an anti-aircraft artillery company, it still cannot withstand the dozens or even hundreds of Japanese planes.

If Li Jingrong fails, the difficulty of defense will directly turn from difficult to hell. Air supremacy has a huge impact on the outcome of a war.

Li Jingrong said confidently: "Don't worry, brother. No matter how many Japanese planes come, I will fight them all. The air defense forces won't have to take action."

After seeing Li Jingrong's direct guarantee, he finally felt relieved.

Judging from his previous performance, Li Jingrong's guarantee is still very reliable.

"Come here, notify Ding Wei of the New 1st Regiment and Kong Jie of the New 2nd Regiment, and have them move their troops over."

There is a special forces regiment equipped with Type 56 automatic rifles stationed at the headquarters, so there is no need to worry about the safety of the headquarters for the time being.

If we want to defend Ling County, we must bring in the New 1st and New 2nd Regiments.

In the evening, the troops of the New 1st and New 2nd Regiments arrived in Ling County under the leadership of their two regimental commanders.

As soon as the three brothers met, the regiment headquarters became lively. Ding Wei looked at the arrogant Li Yunlong with a new look, as if he was looking at a man who had not seen him for three days.

"Li Yunlong, you're really impressive this time. You took Ling County in one day and annihilated the 67th Regiment. I think the position of brigade commander will definitely belong to you this time."

Li Yunlong's donkey face immediately turned into a smug grin. "I didn't expect these little Japs to be so weak. Ling County was easily conquered in one attack. I think this little Japs is just like that. How do you describe it? The sun is setting in the west."

Kong Jie said unconvincedly, "Humph, Li Yunlong, you're still arguing with me. Tell me, what do you want us to do this time?"

"But this time we have to make a deal in advance. After this battle, your weapons and equipment will be reimbursed."

Li Yunlong waved his hand nonchalantly and said, "Why do we need to wait until after the war? I'll reimburse you now. Follow me."

After saying that, he led the way out. Ding Wei and Kong Jie looked at each other and followed him.

The group came to a remote place in the west of the city, where there was only a large and spacious bungalow nearby.

Moreover, this bungalow is built with concrete and cannot be hit by ordinary artillery shells.

"Arsenal!" As soon as they saw the building, they knew where it was.

It is obvious that this is the Japanese arsenal in Ling County.

Li Yunlong nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, this is the Japanese armory. All the weapons and equipment we found while cleaning the battlefield are stored in it. Let's go in and take a look."

Ding Wei and Kong Jie rushed in directly. When they entered, they couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.

They saw that the room was filled with various weapon boxes, and they even saw 6 Type 92 infantry guns placed inside, with ammunition boxes piled next to them.

Li Yunlong came to their side and saw their shocked expressions, and he couldn't help feeling very happy.

“.”这里一共有6000杆三八大盖、80多挺歪把子和九二式重机枪、掷弹筒80多门,各口径迫击炮20门整,还有这6门92式步兵炮。”

"In addition to these weapons, there were over 30 rounds of ammunition. I haven't counted the artillery shells, but it looks like there were quite a few as well."

Although the New 1st and New 2nd Regiments received assistance from the brigade headquarters and were equipped with new SKS semi-automatic rifles and PKM general-purpose machine guns, etc.

But as they began to expand their military, they ran out of weapons.

They also reported to the brigade headquarters, but were always rejected by the brigade commander with one sentence: "If you want weapons, go get them yourself."

Li Yunlong looked down upon the weapons and equipment in this arsenal, otherwise he would not have been so generous as to bring the two of them here.

But they like it, these are all good things. If these weapons are pulled back, the shortage of weapons and ammunition will be solved.

Ding Wei patted Li Yunlong's shoulder happily and said, "Don't worry about this blockade. Wherever you let our New 1st Regiment go, I will stay there. If the Japanese want to come over, they can only step over our dead bodies."

Kong Erlangzi also echoed: "Me too, where to go is just a matter of your words."

Then the two brothers began to happily divide the equipment.

When Li Yunlong returned to the regiment headquarters, he received a piece of information from the brigade headquarters.

When Li Yunlong saw this information, his expression became serious.

Brothers Ding Wei and Kong Jie still had smiles on their faces, but when they saw Li Yunlong's expression, they couldn't help but restrain their smiles.

"Old Li, what happened?"

Li Yunlong handed them the telegram and said, "This time, the three of us brothers may really have to fight to the death."

After reading the telegram, Ding Wei's pupils shrank slightly, and he exclaimed in shock: "Have the Japanese gone crazy? Shinozuka Yoshio has emptied out all his family wealth."

"In order to reinforce Ling County, two divisions and three brigades of troops were dispatched." Kong Jie couldn't help but take a breath after hearing this.

"Two divisions and three brigades, at least 50,000 to 60,000 people. Is Ling County worth so many troops for the Japanese?" Li Jingrong frowned when he heard this.

Two divisions and three brigades. If they were all fully staffed, the number of troops would not be 50,000 or 60,000, but 60,000 or 70,000.

Ling County alone certainly wasn't worth the Japanese deploying so many troops. But Ling County had an independent regiment stationed there, so for Shinozuka Yoshio, it might have been worth it.
