Anti-Japanese War: Li Yunlong dared to attack Taiyuan

Li Yunlong first looked at Kong Jie, who was sitting nearby smoking a pipe.

"To!"

"It is proposed to appoint Kong Jie as the director of the Military Law Department of the Heilongjiang-Jilin-Liaoning-Chahar Military Region. The former independent regiment will be reorganized into the Heilongjiang-Jilin-Liaoning-Chahar First Column, with Kong Jie as the commander of the column, which will command four regiments."

After hearing this, Kong Jie stood up and saluted everyone around him, then slowly sat down.

Because the appointment has not been formally reported yet, it is only a tentative confirmation. It will be reported to the headquarters after the meeting. Generally, the headquarters will approve the appointment of personnel in the general military region, unless there are major problems with the appointed person, it will be rejected.

The Military Law Department was officially established at the division level. Its main task was to deal with the bad apples in the team. Kong Jie was an honest man but very disciplined, so he was the most suitable person to be the director of the Military Law Department.

"Ding Wei!"

Like Kong Jie, Ding Wei stood up and saluted, waiting for Li Yunlong to announce his appointment.

"It is proposed to appoint Ding Wei as deputy chief of staff of the Heilongjiang-Jilin-Liaoning-Chahar Military Region. The former New 1st Regiment will be reorganized into the Heilongjiang-Jilin-Liaoning-Chahar Second Column, with Ding Wei as the column commander. The Second Column will have four regiments under its command."

Ding Wei and Kong Jie are old comrades of Li Yunlong, and Li Yunlong is very clear about their abilities. Ding Wei has a good sense of the overall situation and is suitable for development into the position of chief of staff, so Li Yunlong appointed Ding Wei as deputy chief of staff to learn from Chief of Staff Wang.

"Zhang Dabiao!"

"To!"

Li Yunlong glanced at his favorite general and said, "I plan to appoint Zhang Dabiao as the deputy director of the Operations Department of the Heilongjiang-Jilin-Liaoning-Chahar Military Region. The former First Detachment of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Independent Column will be reorganized into the First Regiment directly under the Heilongjiang-Jilin-Liaoning-Chahar Military Region, with Zhang Dabiao as the regiment commander."

"Yes!"

Originally, Li Yunlong planned to directly appoint Zhang Dabiao as the commander of the Third Column. The first detachment had nearly 4,000 people, so it was also possible to form a separate column.

However, considering that Zhang Dabiao's personal abilities still needed to be improved, Li Yunlong decided to appoint Zhang Dabiao as the commander of the First Regiment. Although he was only a commander, the size of the regiment was already three times that of the New First Regiment. If Zhang Dabiao could manage it well, he could directly become a division commander in the future.

"Shen Quan is not here. Let me briefly read out his appointment. The Second Detachment of the former Jin-Cha-Ji Independent Column has been reorganized into the Chahar Column. Shen Quan is proposed to be the commander, with three regiments under him."

Shen Quan's ability has been proven through the capture of Matsui Ishigen this time, so Li Yunlong can safely hand over the entire Chahar area to Shen Quan. The mission of Shen Quan's Chahar Column is to ensure that the passage between Li Yunlong's troops and the headquarters is unobstructed.

"Proposed appointment..."

After the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Independent Column was reorganized into the Heilongjiang-Jilin-Liaoning-Chahar Military Region, it had a total of four columns and sixteen regiments.

In addition to Kong Jie, Ding Wei also has Shen Quan's three columns and a cavalry column.

The commander of the column is Ma Chengfeng, who has four cavalry regiments under his command. Li Yunlong does not have these war horses now, but Shen Quan does. Li Yunlong asked for half of the war horses that Shen Quan seized in Jining and other places. In two days, Ma Chengfeng will take his men to training.

Sun Desheng served as the director of the training department of the cavalry column and continued to be responsible for training new recruits. Li Yunlong still had half a year left in his one-year agreement with him, so he was not in a hurry to make him the commander of the cavalry battalion. He wanted to let this guy figure out where his problems lay.

I heard that he has begun to wake up during this period and has asked Ma Chengfeng a lot of questions.

The remaining sixteen regiments were not subordinate to the various columns, but were all directly under the military district headquarters. The veterans of the former Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Independent Column were all promoted.

Among them, the one who was promoted the fastest was Chen Wei, who was one of the seven people who first climbed the city wall of Datong during the Battle of Datong. Chen Wei had studied for a few years, and after the last awarding of medals, he became a deputy company commander under the first team. He had outstanding abilities in these two operations, and this time he was directly promoted to deputy regiment commander.

In addition, there is Xiao Wanshi, who was exchanged by Li Yunlong from his old subordinate Cheng Xiazi's 772nd Regiment. He is now the deputy commander of a regiment. Zhang Yingcai is now a battalion commander after Li Yunlong mentioned him separately.

In addition, the original detachment leaders were promoted to regiment leaders, and several outstanding deputy detachment leaders also became regiment leaders, such as Huang Zhiyong and others.

"Okay, I didn't prepare lunch for you today, so go back to your work!"

After reading out the appointment, Li Yunlong waved his hand.

After hearing this, Zhao Gang smiled and said, "Don't be in a hurry to leave. Comrade Xiuqin has prepared noodles for everyone. Eat them first before leaving."

After everyone went out to eat, Li Yunlong, Zhao Gang, Chief of Staff Wang and Lao Xing remained in the conference room.

Because Li Yunlong had to leave as soon as possible and there were still many things that needed to be explained.

"Old Xing, after I leave, don't interrupt the transaction with Commander Wang. Although we are not short of supplies now, we still need to stockpile more, especially warm supplies and food. We must purchase more. Money is not a problem."

Chief of Staff Wang was listening nearby and asked curiously, "Who is Division Commander Wang?"

"He used to be the commander of the 165th Division. We bought several heavy artillery pieces for our independent column from him. Now he seems to be the commander of the 7th Temporary Division."

"The man who killed a Japanese regiment commander in the Battle of Zhongtiao Mountain?"

"I sold it to him!"

Chief of Staff Wang was stunned for a moment after hearing this, then he laughed: "I was wondering when I read the battle report, it turns out we were the ones who sold it."

All four of them laughed.

"By the way, we also need to purchase some vermiculite. It will be useful in case it is needed."

Li Yunlong thought about it and realized that there were many things he needed to prepare for going to the four eastern provinces. The most effective thing should be a hot pack, and vermiculite was one of the important materials for making a homemade hot pack.

"We also need to keep in touch with the Fourth Division. Zhongming Daxiang has agreed to purchase food for us. The total cost is one million dollars. Prepare the money and carefully inspect the food during the transaction."

"Yes!"

"By the way, Chief of Staff Wang, I don't have much experience in establishing a base area. After I go to the rear, you can discuss it with Lao Zhao and the others. We will set off after the Chinese New Year this year. I will go directly to the four eastern provinces after completing my studies at the headquarters."

"no problem!"

"Also..."

Li Yunlong chattered on and on about a bunch of things, including the future research direction of the Heiyunshan Arsenal, the drawings of the rotorcraft, etc.

The next morning, before dawn, Li Yunlong led the guard battalion, took with him Matsui Ishisuke and Prince Higashikuni Naruhiko, and headed towards the rear headquarters.

……

……

……

Here is the third update. I saw some people saying that I have been reducing the number of updates. Let me say here that I have reduced the updates recently because of the Chinese New Year. I will make up for it after the Chinese New Year. I currently owe four updates. The author is also human. My fingers are still hurting recently, and I have to prepare for the Chinese New Year. If I want to reduce the updates, I will make up a reason. There is no need to say that I will make up for it after the Chinese New Year.

Finally, I want some free gifts!

Chapter 358 Hello, I’m Huang Zhiyong

"Hello, hello, I'm Huang Zhiyong!"

"Captain Chu, how do you have my headquarters' phone number? What about the personnel and equipment of your regiment?"

"Here, here, here. But you have to come and take this person back in person. However, your people have been with us for several days. Do you need to pay for the expenses?"

"Not much, not much, thirty dollars, yes, thirty dollars per person!"

……

"Captain Chu, I'm Huang Zhiyong. Is he alright? As long as he's alright, I'm fine. I was just reorganizing and was really busy. I really don't have time to entertain you. I just returned to the headquarters."

"Weapons? What weapons?"

"Oh, you mean the equipment for your regiment? Captain Chu, we're very busy right now. The troops are being reorganized. It's not that I don't want to give it to you, but I really can't find it."

"Captain Chu, don't worry. I will definitely return the weapons of your 358th Regiment to you. Please give me some time."

……

"Captain Chu, I'm so sorry. I drank too much the past two days and made some mistakes. I was punished by the political commissar. Now I'm not deputy captain anymore. I really can't take charge of your weapons. Please give me some time, give me some time, and I will definitely retrieve the weapons."

"Don't worry, it's okay, no problem!"

"Okay, okay, okay, leave it to me!"

When Huang Zhiyong and Chu Yunfei were arguing.

Li Yunlong led the guard battalion and has arrived in Jinzhong from Ping'an County. After bypassing Taiyuan, they entered Luliang Mountain. After crossing the Yellow River, they are about to arrive at the rear headquarters area.

The closer he got to the rear headquarters, the more excited Li Yunlong became.

The rear headquarters was still surrounded by the Nationalist army, but this encirclement was full of loopholes. In some areas, the Nationalist soldiers even abandoned their posts and ran away after seeing a troop coming.

There are also some areas that have directly joined our army, but they are still wearing the skin of the National Army, receiving the salary of the National Army, standing guard, and providing convenience for our army's travel.

The most eye-catching person along the way was Prince Hisahiko Asaka. This Japanese soldier was disfigured by a poison gas bomb. He was no longer dressed as a mummy, but was wearing an ordinary coarse linen shirt. However, the wound on his face was very hideous.

Matsui Ishigen was simply dressed up. In order to prevent the two old Japanese from having any thoughts of escaping, Li Yunlong had been controlling their dosage of medicine.

When they got addicted, they were tortured for a while before they were given military ration pills.

At the same time, this period of time was also used to interrogate these devils.

For this purpose, Li Yunlong specially brought a video recorder with him, which was the equipment seized in Taiyuan.

As soon as Matsui Ishisuke began to confess the crimes he had committed, these video cameras would start recording.

Li Yunlong will keep these films in the rear headquarters. This is also the most direct evidence of the Japanese's crimes. If the Japanese deny it in the future, he can just take it out and slap them in the face.

The reason why Li Yunlong left in such a hurry was mainly because of Commander He. Li Yunlong originally planned to cheat Commander He again, but when Commander He knew that Matsui Ishigaki and Prince Higashikuni Naruhiko fell into Li Yunlong's hands, he immediately began to send telegrams to Yamashiro frequently.

In order to avoid any further complications, the headquarters decided to send Matsui Ishisuke and Prince Higashikuni Naruhiko directly to the rear headquarters.

In the Taihang Mountain base, Shancheng can unite with the Japanese, the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army and their troops to act together, but Shancheng has no way to deal with the rear headquarters.

Neither Li Yunlong nor the army commander and others would underestimate the shamelessness of the people in Shancheng.

The reason why Li Yunlong wanted to stockpile a large amount of food was because he knew what shameless things Shancheng would do next year. There was a severe drought in Henan Province, and Shancheng pretended not to know. When he was chased and questioned by American reporters, he pretended to know after seeing the photos and shot several people.

Shancheng didn't know? He didn't know shit. In 1942, Shancheng flew to Xi'an to preside over a grain collection meeting at the front, which reduced the grain quota collected from Henan Province from million dan per year to million dan. How could he not know?

Then the Nationalist army's trick came. The 2.5 million dan of grain in the mountain city became 2.5 million bags down there. One dan was about 140 jin, and one bag was about 200 jin. What to do if the drought wipes out the crops? There is a solution: rush to plant grain.

Then a man named Lu was rewarded for his contribution to grain collection, and all the extra grain was sold to the Japanese, becoming national wealth.

Thirty million people were affected and had to either go to the occupied areas or head south or towards Shaanxi Province. Along the way, corpses were everywhere and people were eating each other.

The longer Li Yunlong stays in this era, the more he feels the truth of this sentence: Without our army, there would be no New China. This is not an empty slogan, but the voice of 400 million people.

While Li Yunlong was on his way to the rear headquarters, the situation in Shanxi Province was also changing.

After the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army occupied Taiyuan, it began to move south to recapture various cities. The Japanese in Changzhi and Yuncheng also took the train and withdrew from Shanxi Province under the nose of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army, and moved north to the Datong area.

The national army also re-entered the Zhongtiao Mountain area with tacit cooperation with the Japanese.

They also began to publicize the great victory at Zhongtiao Mountain, saying that the National Army had successfully recaptured Zhongtiao Mountain and killed several Japanese civilians and a lieutenant general, and there were also generals' swords and deputy officers' swords as evidence.

As the national army once again entered the Zhongtiao Mountain area, the situation in Shanxi Province once again began to become complicated.

The Shanxi-Suiyuan Army controlled almost all major cities in the entire Shanxi Province except Jinzhong. The Eighth Route Army controlled the Taihang Mountain area, as well as Jinzhong, Shouyang, Yuxian, Yangquan, and Jingxing areas.

The Nationalist army controlled the Zhongtiaoshan area.

The Shanxi-Suiyuan Army wanted to recapture Jinzhong, Shouyang, Yunxian and other areas, and open up the Shijiazhuang-Taiyuan Railway so that the Japanese support materials could be transported directly to Taiyuan by rail.

However, after the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army tried to negotiate, it was directly rejected. Although Commander Yan was so angry that he wanted to start a war, three regiments of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army were disarmed by the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Independent Column that day, which made Commander Yan face the reality.
