Otherwise, after the end of World War II, when the polar bear has recovered a little, it will turn its attention to its southern neighbors.

This is also the reason why Li Jingrong chose to bet on the Third Reich.

In addition to making money, they also hoped that the Third Reich could consume the strength of the Allies as much as possible.

After a tour, Li Jingrong prepared to return to the Republic of China.

It has been three or four days, the independent regiment should have withdrawn from the encirclement.

A lot of things happened in Jinxi Province during these three or four days.

In the Battle of Wild Wolf Valley, the remaining 500-odd soldiers of the Sixth Battalion held Hill 207 for three full days.

Finally, when the Japanese 33rd Division arrived, they faced a siege from the Japanese army's superior forces.

The Sixth Battalion fought until the last man was left, and only then did the Japanese realize something was wrong.

Why does the independent regiment have so few people?

It was obvious that the independent regiment had withdrawn before they arrived.

The Japanese soldiers who had been tricked went crazy and started to attack everywhere, looking for the traces of the Eighth Route Army.

This army implemented the Three Alls Policy very thoroughly.

As long as they found any trace of the Eighth Route Army, they would directly sweep through all the villages within ten kilometers.

Regardless of whether these villages had helped the Eighth Route Army or not, all of them underwent the "Three Alls" campaign.

More than 100,000 people in Jinzhong area were killed or injured in the Japanese raids, and the number is still rising.

The Jinzhong base also suffered a devastating blow and it will probably take a long time to recover.

The 129th Division escorted the headquarters, overcoming many difficulties and defeating many enemies along the way, fighting as they went.

The Japanese army's forces were largely dispersed.

Although there were a lot of troops intercepting the 129th Division, most of them were exaggerated.

When they arrived at the outskirts of northwestern Shanxi, they were besieged by two Japanese 207th Divisions.

At this time, the 120th Division of the Northwest Shanxi Base rushed out and worked together with the 129th Division to break through the blockade of the Japanese army.

Finally, they successfully entered the mountainous area of the northwest Shanxi base area and successfully joined forces with the 120th Division.

The headquarters naturally arrived safely.

Both the 129th Division and the headquarters paid a heavy price for this breakout.

All the 122mm heavy guns were either destroyed or blown up because they could not be taken away.

Although the headquarters felt very sad about this, the heavy artillery was a burden for them to break out.

If we don't abandon it, the price we have to pay for it is too high.

However, as long as Li Jingrong is there, they don’t have to worry about having no use for the cannon after losing it.

At worst, we can just take advantage of the independent regiment.

Anyway, every time a business deal is completed, the independent regiment can obtain a large amount of weapons, ammunition and supplies, so it is easy to ask for dozens of heavy artillery.

However, the independent regiment is not having a good time now.

After failing to intercept the headquarters, the Japanese army began to gather heavy troops to prepare for an attack on the mountainous area in northwestern Shanxi.

At this moment, a troop blocked their way.

This unit was one of the Independent Regiment's old enemies, the 14th Division.

When Li Yunlong attacked the Huting stronghold, the 22nd Regiment that was annihilated belonged to the 14st Brigade of the th Division.

The 22nd Regiment also became the biggest shame since the establishment of the 14th Division.

The 14th Division has always remembered this account.

The 14th Division blocked their way.

The Independent Regiment had to fight this battle no matter what.

However, it goes without saying how difficult it is to break through a division's defense line.

Looking at the map in front of him, Li Yunlong couldn't help but ponder.

"Damn it! Without heavy artillery, it's really hard to break through the Japanese defense line."

Although the 14th Division in front of us is not fully staffed now, there is still a brigade in the southern Shanxi area.

But there is still an infantry brigade plus three regiments, with a total strength of about 20,000 people.

This is not the Japanese's second-line division, but a fully staffed Type A division with four units.

Its combat effectiveness is far beyond the reach of special divisions such as the 115th Division.

Moreover, the enemy also occupied the Shenchi Pass, making it extremely difficult to break through without heavy artillery.

Although the 107 rocket launcher is quite powerful, it is still powerless against such sturdy fortifications.

At this moment, the independent regiment received a telegram from the 120th Division, and it was from the division headquarters.

"Commander He's telegram?"

Li Yunlong took a look at it in surprise, then quickly took it and started reading.

The content of the telegram was very simple: the 120th Division came to take them home.

According to the telegram, the 14th Regiment of the 59th Division of the Japanese Army is currently stationed at Shenchiguan.

Previously, the Japanese army only stationed a squadron and a puppet army battalion here.

The 129th Division seized this weak point and successfully broke through from here into northwestern Shanxi, creating a gap in the Japanese army's iron wall encirclement plan.

The 14th Division urgently dispatched a unit south, which was the 59th Infantry Regiment.

When the 120th Division learned that the independent regiment had arrived outside Shenchi Pass.

Commander He contacted him immediately.

The purpose was to attack from both sides together with the Independent Regiment, open a gap in Shenchi Pass, and let the Independent Regiment in.

But even so, it is not easy to capture Shenchi Pass where a regiment is stationed.

After all, the main force of the 14th Division was in Ningwu and Ping'an counties, kilometers away, aiming to block the Eighth Route Army troops that continued to pour into the northwest of Shanxi.

"Call Commander He back..."

Before Li Yunlong finished speaking, the guard came running in with a look of joy on his face, still shouting, "Commander, Commander, Advisor Li is back, and he brought a multi-barreled cannon..."

The multi-barreled guns mentioned by the guards were naturally referring to the four Type 82 130mm wheeled self-propelled rocket launchers.

Compared with heavy artillery, wheeled rocket launchers can be fired quickly and moved quickly, making them more flexible to use in combat.

As for him finding the independent regiment, it was also very simple.

The Deep Blue Guard has always been fighting with the Independent Regiment.

The time and space gate of the independent regiment is also managed by Dahu, so Li Jingrong can come over at any time.

After returning, Li Jingrong naturally contacted Dahu and learned about the situation here.

So they brought four self-propelled rocket launchers and prepared to give the Japanese a heavy blow.

As long as the independent regiment enters the base area in northwest Shanxi, then he will have completed his mission.

After hearing this, Li Yunlong, Zhao Gang, Deputy Regiment Commander Xing Zhiguo, and Chief of Staff Zhang Dabiao all showed joy on their faces.

Li Jingrong came at the perfect time.

Li Yunlong and his group hurried out and saw Li Jingrong coming towards them.

"Hahaha, brother, you came at the perfect time. I was just about to make a big move, and here you are."

Li Jingrong smiled and said, "That's perfect. I'll bring my rocket launcher with me this time to help you fight."

Li Yunlong gave a thumbs up and said, "Okay, this time we brothers will unite and conquer the Shenchi Pass in one battle."

After arriving at the command center, Li Yunlong pointed to Shenchi Pass on the map and said, "After the Japanese entered Shenchi Pass, they built a lot of fortifications here and deployed artillery on the high ground of the pass."

"Commander He's intention is that the 120th Division launch a feint attack on the front to attract the attention of the Japanese troops inside the Great Wall."

"We launched a surprise attack from behind, catching the Japanese off guard and taking the opportunity to break through Shenchi Pass."

"What do you think of this plan, brother?"

Li Jingrong folded his hands over his chest and shook his head, saying, "Actually, there's no need to go through so much trouble."

After hearing his words, Li Yunlong, Zhao Gang and others looked at him in confusion.

Li Jingrong chuckled and said, "Have you forgotten the battle at Liushu Ridge where we almost completely wiped out the 41st Division? I brought them all with me this time. Do you think we need to do this to capture Shenchi Pass?"

Four Type 82 130mm self-propelled rocket launchers can fire 120 shells at a time.

A small place like Shenchi Pass is perfect for the use of fuel-air bombs.

Just one round of rocket launchers can blow the Japanese's marrow out.

Under the coverage of rocket artillery, all beings are equal, not to mention the fuel-air explosive rockets known as sub-nuclear weapons.

In fact, Li Jingrong felt that the 130mm was a little less powerful.

He will definitely have to update it in the future and bring some rocket launchers with larger caliber and longer range.

For example, the Type 03 long-range rocket launcher is very good.

This rocket launcher has been in service in China for 20 years.

The caliber is not very large, only 300 mm, and it uses a 12-barreled barrel, with a range of just 70 kilometers.

It’s a bit too far-fetched to think about these things now, let’s get through this hurdle first.

If we were to say which battle left the most profound impression on Li Yunlong throughout his life, Liushu Ridge would definitely be ranked first.

More than 10,000 Japanese troops gathered together, and were wiped out by just one round of volleys.

You have to know that these are 10,000 fully armed Japanese devils.

In just one round, they all became roasted pigs.

Now that this powerful weapon is about to make a comeback, he is a little excited at the moment.

"Call the 120th Division back. Our army will launch an offensive tomorrow morning to capture Shenchi Pass. There's no need for them to feint."

With these four 130mm wheeled rocket launchers.

He is full of confidence in taking over Shenchi Pass.

At the temporary headquarters of the 120th Division, Division Commander He looked at the reply from the independent regiment in astonishment.

"Did Li Yunlong of the Independent Regiment take the wrong medicine? There's a full-strength regiment of Japanese invaders stationed at Shenchi Pass."

"Even my entire division can't take Shenchi Pass. How many people are there in his independent regiment? How dare he say that we can take Shenchi Pass tomorrow?"

An officer replied: "Division Commander, according to our understanding, the independent regiment has 8000 men."

Hearing this, Division Commander He looked at him in astonishment and asked in surprise, "How many people do you think are in his independent regiment?"

"Eight...eight thousand men. That's what the 129th Division reported."

"Eight thousand people in an independent regiment?"

Commander He suddenly felt that his brain was not enough.

Of course he knew about the Independent Regiment of the 129th Brigade of the 358th Division.

Even though they were hundreds of kilometers away from Jinzhong, the independent regiment defeated the Japanese army many times with fewer troops, and even fought a battle in Ling County that swept the entire western Shanxi Province.

The 41st Division was almost completely wiped out.

He would not know how to handle such a great record.

But at that time, the independent regiment had only more than 3,000 people.

It hasn't been long now, but the number has expanded to 8,000, which is equivalent to the strength of half of his division.

Of course, the half division here refers to the main force, and does not include armed forces such as the county brigade, guerrillas, armed work teams behind enemy lines, and militia teams.

But this is already quite amazing.

After taking a deep drag on his pipe, Commander He nodded and said, "Okay, tomorrow I'll see how Li Yunlong passes this Divine Pond Pass."

"Order the troops to prepare for the attack. If the independent regiment's attack is thwarted, immediately launch an offensive and bring them over."

"If we delay here for too long, the main force of the 14th Division will arrive soon."
