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

After listening to Wei Heshang's explanation, Li Yunlong finally understood what was going on. Wei Dayong and his commando team were sent to conduct reconnaissance behind enemy lines.

However, the old Japanese soldier, Shimada Isao, was very cautious and set up a wide cordon.

It would be very difficult for them to infiltrate. After all, there were tens of thousands of Japanese soldiers inside. If they were discovered, they would be dead.

So Monk Wei chose to wait and wait for the right opportunity. Li Jingrong once said that a hunter should never lose patience while waiting for his prey.

Until the Type 82 130mm rocket launcher's fuel-air explosive rockets came into play, the 41st Division was almost completely destroyed and the cordon was withdrawn.

After seeing that earth-shattering scene, Monk Wei keenly felt that the Japanese might be about to escape.

So he ambushed directly beside the road where the Japanese army was retreating. Sure enough, soon after, groups of Japanese soldiers passed by them.

However, Wei Dayong still chose to hold his troops in place. For their assault team, fighting ordinary Japanese soldiers was meaningless, so they had to catch the big fish to fight.

But he never met her, and just when he was about to give up and return empty-handed.

As luck would have it, Wei Dayong and his assault team finally caught the big fish.

The 41st Division had more troops at its headquarters, so it retreated later, but it was still escorted by 22 squadrons of troops.

This little devil was obviously different from the previous little devils. The little devils before him were all running away, but these little devils were riding trucks and three-wheeled motorcycles.

Monk Wei started fighting without saying a word. The Japanese army, caught off guard, suffered heavy losses in an instant.

In this way, the 41st Division headquarters was completely cut off by Wei Dayong.

This was also an unexpected success. Li Yunlong originally sent the assault team to investigate the situation behind the Japanese. Unexpectedly, they destroyed the Japanese headquarters instead.

"It's a pity that he's a major general division commander. It would be better if he was a lieutenant general."

Although there is only one level difference between major general and lieutenant general, their value is completely different.

Besides, it’s not like Li Yunlong, the major general, had never killed anyone before, but he had never killed a lieutenant general.

Li Yunlong was in high spirits. He laughed heartily and said, "Wei Dayong, your assault team did a great job this time. I was right about you. I'll report your achievements later."

Monk Wei didn't care about being awarded a prize or anything like that. Instead, he stepped forward and asked, "Captain, I don't want any credit. Could you please ask Advisor Li for me?"

"Can we equip our assault brigade with the special operations equipment he mentioned last time?"

Li Yunlong glanced at him sideways, smiled cheerfully, and said, "Okay, I'll ask you later."

Eighth Route Army Headquarters.

The headquarters was in a state of chaos at this moment. The combat staff gathered information from all parties so that the boss could have a comprehensive grasp of the battle situation.

"Good boy, the Japanese in Xiaoyi have moved. It seems that the Japanese in southern Shanxi have also been mobilized."

"The Japanese are determined to annihilate the Independent Regiment in Ling County. This time, I just don't want to do what they want. I will tell all the troops to block the Japanese reinforcements. The Independent Regiment must not be lost."

The boss now knows about the business situation, so he must buy these seven days for the independent group at all costs.

The Deputy Chief of General Staff frowned. The pressure on headquarters was immense, but the pressure on the independent regiment was even greater.

The 16th Brigade had already broken through the blocking line, and they were unable to stop the fierce 16th Independent Mixed Brigade.

The 41st Division alone was enough to give the Independent Regiment a hard time. Now with the addition of the 16th Brigade, there were nearly troops.

The Independent Regiment, the New First Regiment and the New Second Regiment will face nearly 30,000 Japanese troops.

The pressure was much greater than theirs. After all, the Japanese reinforcements they were blocking would not exceed 40,000.

At this time, a senior combat staff officer came over with a happy look on his face, shouting as he walked: "Great victory, Boss, great victory!"

These words attracted the attention of everyone in the command center.

The boss looked at the staff officer who came over and asked, "What great victory? Who won the victory?"

The senior operations officer said with an excited smile, "Boss, it was the great victory at Liushunao. Li Yunlong led the independent regiment to stop the Japanese 41st Division here."

"The 41st Division was nearly annihilated, with over enemy troops killed. The division commander, Isao Shimada, and all members of his command were also killed. Only over Japanese troops escaped north."

After hearing the news, the boss and the deputy chief of staff were shocked, as if they had heard something incredible.

Of course, this was incredible. The independent regiment had only about 4000 people at most.

In just two days, they suddenly wiped out more than 10,000 Japanese soldiers and destroyed their headquarters.

This sounds a bit weird no matter how you listen to it. Something must have happened during this period.

Then the senior combat staff handed him another telegram sent by the independent regiment.

"Boss, this is a secret message from the Independent Regiment. You need to read it yourself."

The boss and the deputy chief of staff looked at each other.

"Bring me the code book."

The boss then translated the secret message with reference to the code book.

After reading the above content, I understood the reason for this great victory.

At the same time, my heart was filled with horror.

"Deep Blue deployed four new rocket launchers, which were extremely powerful. In one round of bombardment, the Japanese army suffered tens of thousands of casualties."

"Hiss..." The Deputy Chief of General Staff took a deep breath and said in shock, "How could the Japanese army suffer tens of thousands of casualties in just one round of bombardment from four rocket launchers? It's simply unbelievable."

The boss sighed, "Comrade Shenlan never fails to surprise us. He's truly unfathomable."

"This time, I must give him credit no matter what. It's a pity he doesn't want to join the Party, otherwise I would personally introduce him to the Party."

The Deputy Chief of General Staff smiled wryly and said, "After all, he has a powerful faction behind him. We're lucky he can help us. We should just let him join the Party naturally. Even if he doesn't, Comrade Shenlan's help to us is immense."

The boss nodded in agreement and said, "Yes, the reason we agreed to Li Yunlong's battle plan was to test the strength of the Japanese."

"I didn't expect to win such a great victory at Liushunao. Our army really got a lot of pride from this battle. Li Yunlong must be credited for this achievement."

Almost annihilating an entire division is a feat that would rank among the major and minor wars in recent years.

In terms of the number of enemies killed, it is second only to the Victory of Taierzhuang, but it is certainly incomparable in terms of influence.

The Deputy Chief of General Staff smiled faintly and said, "Li Yunlong finally made no mistakes this time. Let's reward him according to his merits. No one else can say anything."

"The 41st Division has been defeated. The only enemy facing Ling County is the 16th Brigade. However, this makes me even more worried."

The boss gave him a puzzled look and asked, "Shinozuka Yoshio doesn't have many troops left. What are you still worried about?"

The Deputy Chief of General Staff sighed and said, "Even though Yoshio Shinozuka doesn't have many troops left, we still have Fusutaro Toyoshima."

After hearing what the deputy chief of general staff said, the boss's brows furrowed.

Toyoshima Fusutaro was the commander of the Second Army of the Japanese Northern Expeditionary Force.

Although the Second Army under his command was not as strong as the First Army, it still had three divisions, two mixed brigades and several local garrison battalions, with a total strength of up to 70,000 to 80,000 people.

The main areas of garrison are the Central Plains and the capital area.

Although the First Army and the Second Army often quarreled over military expenditures, they seemed to have no intention of interacting with each other forever.

But the situation was different this time. The 41st Division suffered such heavy losses, and the situation was beyond the control of Yoshio Shinozuka.

There is no guarantee that the Bibei Expeditionary Force Command will not intervene and order the Second Army to send reinforcements westward.

They had no way to deal with the Second Army advancing along the railway line.

Of course, this is the worst-case scenario, and the Second Army would be more willing to see the First Army suffer losses.

Because only in this way will military funds be tilted towards their Second Army.

However, things often develop in the worst direction.

After receiving the telegram from the 41st Division, Yoshio Shinozuka collapsed to the ground.

There has not been any good news today, and now this bad news has come.

The 41st Division was almost wiped out, with only more than 2300 people escaping.

Only a few days after the war began, an entire division was suddenly destroyed.

This was simply ridiculous, but the fact was right before his eyes.

"Do we have any more troops to mobilize now?"

After a long time, Shinozuka Yoshio asked in a somewhat distraught manner.

He originally thought that no matter how bad things turned out for him, he could still return to his country to retire, but now it seems that retirement is a bit difficult.

But no matter what, he has to clean up this mess.

"General, we have no more troops to deploy."

After hearing this, Shinozuka Yoshio was shocked, and then said with difficulty: "Immediately request reinforcements from the headquarters. Ling County must be recaptured, otherwise we will become sinners of the empire and will never be able to enter the shrine."

Now is not the time to care about face.

When the First Army's telegram for help reached the Northern Expeditionary Force Headquarters, it immediately caused an uproar.
