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

"Commander, the Independent Regiment called and said the battle is over. They'll be able to arrive once the temperature at Shenchi Pass drops a bit."

Commander He suddenly felt that all the battles he had fought in half his life were in vain.

Is it that the independent regiment is too strong, or that the Japanese have become weaker?

He understood that this certainly did not mean that the Japanese had become weaker.

This is the 14th Division, one of the permanent divisions. How could its combat effectiveness be weak?

The main thing is that mysterious and terrifying weapon.

Wuning County, 14th Division Headquarters.

"Your Excellency, the division commander, a telegram has come in from Shenchi Pass, saying that the main force of the Eighth Route Army has been spotted outside the pass, but..."

The division commander, Lieutenant General Kawanami Mi, frowned and said unhappily, "But what?"

The officer lowered his head and said, "However, we have lost contact with Shenchi Pass. We have tried to contact them many times but have been unable to do so."

"We have already sent a small team to Shenchi Pass to check the situation."

Lieutenant General Kawanami's eyes narrowed, and after a moment's thought, he said, "I'll take the cavalry regiment and go see for myself."

For some reason, he always felt that the sudden loss of contact might be due to an accident.

After more than half an hour, the temperature in Shenchi Pass finally dropped to around 40 degrees Celsius, and only the temperature in some areas was still very high.

"Quickly pass through Shenchi Pass and reunite with the 120th Division."

At this moment, Commander He also led the guard company to Shenchi Pass.

He wanted to see for himself what the scene was like at Shenchi Pass at the moment.

However, he regretted it when he saw this hellish scene.

There were strange corpses of Japanese soldiers lying everywhere in the fortifications.

These people covered their throats, their eyes and mouths were wide open, and their bodies were curled up together.

And because of the high temperature, the ground was filled with corpse oil and the smell of meat filled the air.

After seeing this scene, Commander He suddenly felt very nauseous.

Even though he had seen many life and death situations, he still couldn't help feeling nauseous after seeing this scene.

Maybe when I eat meat in the future, I will think of this scene.

"vomit....."

Many of the guards brought by Commander He vomited on the spot.

At this moment, footsteps were heard from somewhere, and Li Yunlong led the independent regiment rushing towards this side.

The Independent Regiment and the 120th Division successfully joined forces at Shenchi Pass.

From then on, the independent regiment was free to fly freely in the vast sky and sea.

"Li Yunlong, Deputy Commander of the 129th Brigade of the 386th Division and Commander of the Independent Regiment, has met with Division Commander He."

Zhao Gang, Xing Zhiguo, Zhang Dabiao and others also saluted.

After meeting Commander He, Li Jingrong also saluted respectfully.

Commander He nodded to Li Yunlong and others, then turned his attention to Li Jingrong.

"I suppose this is Comrade Deep Blue?"

Li Jingrong glanced at Commander He in surprise and asked curiously, "Yes, Commander, I didn't expect you to know me."

Commander He laughed and waved his hand, saying, "You don't have to call me Chief. You are the military advisor of the headquarters and you are on the same level as me.

I have heard of you more than once when I went to the banquet."

"I have to thank you very much. The equipment of our 120th Division is much better than before."

"This is all thanks to Comrade Deep Blue."

Now the main force of the 120th Division is equipped with SKS semi-automatic rifles and some Type 56 automatic rifles, Type 56 light machine guns, etc.

After the headquarters received this batch of equipment, it reserved a portion for the 129th Division.

The rest were all sent to Yan'an, and the artillery was left at the headquarters. Unfortunately, they were all blown up in the attempt to break out.

Li Jingrong smiled modestly and said, "As you should. Commander He, let's leave first. This is not the place to talk."

Commander He nodded and said, "That's right. Then follow me to meet up with the 129th Division. The Japanese have assembled a large force to attack us. Commander Liu and I will be fighting guerrilla and mobile warfare against the Japanese in the mountainous area."

An hour later, Lieutenant General Ibinami Mitsuki, commander of the 14th Division, led the 18th Cavalry Regiment to Shenchi Pass.

After seeing the scene at Shenchi Pass at this moment, everyone was frozen in place.

What is going on here?

On the way back to the base, Commander He kept looking at the independent regiment.

This made Li Yunlong smell a hint of danger.

He couldn't afford to offend this big guy, so should he refuse? Or should he refuse?

Commander He sighed, "Li Yunlong, your independent regiment is well-equipped."

After hearing this, Li Yunlong shuddered and shook his head, saying, "It's just average. Isn't this all thanks to Advisor Li? Advisor Li has made an indelible contribution to our independent regiment's success today."

"And this time we were surrounded and intercepted by the Japanese, and the losses in personnel and equipment were very heavy. The landlords now have no surplus food."

This was a clear message to Commander He that our independent regiment suffered heavy equipment losses during this breakout, so he should not think of targeting our independent regiment.

If you need equipment, go find Li Jingrong, their independent regiment doesn’t have it.

He directly put the blame on Li Jingrong.

Li Jingrong was speechless as he watched Li Yunlong betray his teammates.

However, when I saw the look in Commander He's eyes, I realized that this big guy had other intentions.

It seems that they are targeting the independent regiment, but in fact the target is him.

For big guys at their level.

I don’t care much about other things, but I have a special liking for advanced equipment.

If you miss such a good opportunity, you will be punished by God.

Li Jingrong could only smile and say, "I think the 120th Division's firearms and equipment are pretty good. I'll give Commander He a heavy artillery battalion as a gift from the younger generation."

After hearing what Li Jingrong said, Division Commander He and the senior officers of the division who followed him looked at him in surprise.

Commander He's eyes lit up, and he asked directly, "Heavy artillery? What caliber?"

After thinking for a moment, Li Jingrong decided to mix and match.

The Type 66 152mm howitzer performed very well in the war.

It is excellent in terms of power, range and accuracy.

Moreover, this thing is not a high-tech weapon, and is very suitable for equipping the Eighth Route Army, which lacks long-range heavy firepower.

The 122mm howitzer is also a heavy artillery level, but it is just a howitzer with a range of only 11.8 kilometers.

If these two heavy artillery pieces are matched in high and low combinations, the effect will be quite good.

"We have both 122mm and 152mm. As long as Commander He doesn't mind, it's fine."

"hiss!"

Commander He and others couldn't help but take a breath, and many of them were shocked after hearing it.

To be honest, they have been fighting for so long, but they have rarely seen cannons with a caliber larger than 120mm.

Moreover, Commander He had heard before that Li Jingrong had sent a batch of 122mm heavy howitzers to the headquarters.

I thought the heavy artillery battalion he sent should also be this 122mm.

But I didn't expect there was a 152mm heavy artillery.

This is a real heavy artillery.

Commander He patted Li Jingrong's shoulder excitedly and said happily, "Okay, from now on, you are my brother. I will treat you well tonight."

Heavy artillery, this is heavy artillery!

From now on, their 120th Division also has heavy artillery. How can he not be excited?

Li Jingrong couldn't help but grin after being slapped. The slap was really strong.

If he had not been strengthened by genetic drugs, this slap would probably have turned him blue.

The autumn mopping-up campaign launched by the Japanese army lasted for nearly three months.

A total of four divisions were mobilized to launch a large-scale sweep of the base area in northwestern Shanxi.

However, due to the fighting in the mountainous area, coupled with the joint efforts of the 120th and 129th Divisions.

Although the Japanese army achieved certain results by relying on superior manpower, firepower and air superiority.

But compared with the results of the battle, their losses were even greater.

During the three months, the Eighth Route Army lost nearly 20,000 troops in its anti-mopping-up operations.

The amount of ammunition and supplies consumed was countless, and it only lasted for three months.

The stockpiled supplies have basically been consumed.

The Northern Front Army was forced to stop the encirclement and suppression campaign.

Of course, in addition to the depletion of bullets and supplies, there is another very important factor.

On December 1941, 12, the Japanese army launched the Pearl Harbor incident that shocked the world.

In the early morning of December 12, hundreds of Japanese fighter planes took off from aircraft carriers and launched a massive air raid on Pearl Harbor.

The Americans were not prepared for this and lost a total of 8 battleships, 3 cruisers, 3 destroyers, and 8 auxiliary ships.

The entire Pacific Fleet was paralyzed and it would take more than half a year to recover.

This war also led to the United States directly participating in the war instead of providing military assistance.

This also greatly boosted the domestic confidence in resisting Japan.

With the United States joining the war, Japan's defeat was inevitable.

Anyone with a strategic vision can see clearly... Although the Japanese army gained a brief advantage through sneak attacks.

But once the Eagle Sauce's war machine starts moving, they will realize how big a mistake they have made.

Northwest Shanxi Base, Wang Jiayu, Eighth Route Army Headquarters.

This is the headquarters address chosen by the headquarters in the northwest Shanxi base.

This place is located in the eastern mountainous area more than 40 kilometers away from Liao County, and is surrounded by cliffs on the west, north and south.

There is only one small trail through the canyon that connects to the outside world.

It is truly a natural strategic location.

Moreover, the Huangyadong area to the west is very suitable for the location of an arsenal.

The deputy commander-in-chief, deputy chief of general staff, Commander He of the 120th Division, and Commander Liu of the 129th Division gathered here.

The deputy commander-in-chief held the telegram in his hand and said with a happy face, "Everyone, early this morning, the Japanese army attacked Pearl Harbor. The United States officially declared war on Japan."

After hearing the news, everyone was stunned.

"The US has declared war on Japan? Great."

The deputy commander nodded happily and said, "Yes, this news is arguably the best news I've heard this year."

"But don't be too happy too soon. They won't be able to join the battle in the short term. We still have to hold on for a while."

"And I heard from the mountain city that they are ready to provide military assistance to the Kuomintang."

"We have nothing to do with this. We have to rely on ourselves for everything."

Commander He snorted coldly and said, "When have we ever relied on the Kuomintang? We have achieved the situation we have today because of our own efforts."

The Deputy Chief of General Staff agreed, "That's right. Although the Kuomintang has military assistance, we also have channels here."

After hearing his words, the boss and others smiled knowingly. It was obvious that this channel referred to Li Jingrong.

"Yes, by the way, do you still remember the telegram submitted by the Independent Regiment earlier?"

The Deputy Chief of General Staff thought for a moment and knew which telegram the boss was referring to.

"Boss, are you talking about Comrade Li Jingrong's telegram predicting that Japan would move south?"

The boss nodded and said, "Yes, that's it."

Commander Liu and Commander He both looked surprised.

"Comrade Li Jingrong was able to predict that Japan would move south. That's truly remarkable."

Being able to accurately predict future situations requires a strong strategic vision.

"Indeed, the sweep is drawing to a close. Commander Liu, what do you think the independent regiment should do?"
