Anti-Japanese War: Li Yunlong dared to attack Taiyuan

Yang Wanli handed over the telegram.

The content of the telegram was simple: "Kong Erlangzi, I've also caught a big fish, Ningci Okamura, the commander of the Japanese Siberian Front, a general, hahahaha!"

There was no signature, but Kong Jie knew that it must be Ding Wei's telegram.

Only Li Yunlong and Ding Wei could call me Kong Erlangzi. It was they who spread this nickname. When I first joined the army, I was illiterate and often made mistakes in reading and writing when I was learning literacy. Li Yunlong called me Erlangzi and said that he didn't even know the number "one" when his carrying pole fell over. Then the nickname was spread through Ding Wei, the loudspeaker.

So the nickname Kong Erlangzi has always followed Kong Jie.

However, most of the old comrades who were once in the same squad, platoon or even company were sacrificed, injured, and most of those who were intact were transferred to other places. Only Ding Wei and Li Yunlong were left by his side.

After reading the telegram, Kong Jie paced back and forth, then took out his pipe, struck a match to light it, and then sat down on the stool, without saying a word, just patting his thigh continuously.

"Commander, are you okay?"

"..."

"Commander, how about I take some people there tomorrow? Maybe we can catch a high-ranking Japanese official!"

"..."

"Commander, don't scare me!"

Kong Jie didn't stand up until he finished smoking a pipe: "Yang Wanli!"

"To!"

"Go find someone right now and ask them, no matter what method you use, to find out why our explosives didn't explode!"

"what?"

Yang Wanli looked at Kong Jie and stood there in a daze. His commander had been patting his thigh for more than ten minutes, and this is what he thought of?

"What are you doing standing still? Go quickly!"

Yang Wanli stared at Kong Jie and asked, "Commander, are you okay?"

"What can happen to me? He's just Ningci Gangcun. That old devil is lucky to have fallen into Ding Wei's hands!"

"What about you just now?"

Kong Jie sighed and said, "I'm wondering why our explosive packs didn't go off. This time we were ambushed, and the explosives didn't go off, so we didn't suffer any losses. But if this kind of mistake happens on the battlefield in the future, how many soldiers will lose their lives? We must find out."

"I've asked around. We use an electric fuse, and the battery is unstable in low-temperature environments, so this is what happened!"

Hearing Yang Wanli's words, Kong Jie was stunned for a moment, then sighed silently and said, "I still suffer the loss of being uneducated!"

Then Kong Jie shook his head and said, "Alright, it's alright, go get busy. Send a telegram back to Ding Wei and tell him that I despise Ningci Gangcun. If I have to arrest someone, I'll go after Meijin Mijiro!"

After Yang Wanli confirmed again and again that Kong Jie was fine, he closed the door and left.

After Yang Wanli left, Kong Jie let out a long sigh.

Then he walked to his desk and looked at the box of books that Li Yunlong had given him before. It was already covered with dust.

"Hey, Li Yunlong is right. I have to study hard, otherwise I really won't be able to keep up!"

As he spoke, Kong Jie wiped the dust off the box and then took out the books inside. The first one on the top was a guide on the use of weapons in severe cold conditions.

Looking at the book, Kong Jie was stunned for a moment, then he opened the book and began to study it wholeheartedly. For almost the entire winter, Kong Jie spent all his time reading in his room except for work.

When Li Yunlong saw Kong Jie again, Kong Jie was already wearing glasses.

Chapter 526 My name is Ding Wei

"Report, urgent telegram from the Siberian Front!"

At the Kwantung Army headquarters in Khabarovsk, Mei Jing Meijiro was still working with his staff to formulate a detailed spring offensive plan.

We plan to drive the Russian bear out of East and West Siberia completely this spring.

"An urgent message from the Siberian Front?"

The Siberian Front was now essentially dead in name only. Of the original 300,000 elite troops, only less than 100,000 remained.

At the beginning, more than 100,000 people did withdraw from the encirclement, but after the retreat, many people died from serious injuries, and some people suffered from frostbite in the snow and ice and had to undergo amputation.

The Siberian Front now had only 171 to men left, and the number was still decreasing. Of all the divisions, only the st Division was still intact; the others, including the th Division, had been crippled.

"Hey, General Ningci Gangcun, maybe he died in battle, or maybe he was captured by the Eighth Route Army!"

After the staff officer finished speaking, he immediately bowed ninety degrees and handed over the telegram in his hand.

"Nani?"

Mei Jing Meijiro was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect the content of the urgent telegram to be like this.

He snatched the telegram and read it quickly, his face becoming more and more gloomy the more he read.

"The Eighth Route Army attacked the Trans-Siberian Railway. General Okamura Neiji's fate remains unknown. No body has been found, and it's very likely he was captured alive."

"Baga, the Eighth Route Army!"

Mei Jing Meijiro slammed the telegram on the table, and the Japanese generals who came to the meeting straightened their chests instantly.

"Commander, please give the order and I will deal with this Eighth Route Army!"

A Japanese lieutenant general volunteered.

The Japanese were well aware that the Eighth Route Army was operating around the Greater Khingan Range.

They also knew the specific locations where the Eighth Route Army was active, including the Arxan area, the Hailar area, the Manzhouli area, and the Greater Khingan Range.

But because the war with the Soviet Union had already begun, the Japanese did not send troops to deal with Li Yunlong's troops.

After Li Yunlong's troops occupied these areas, although they made some small moves, they did not cause much damage to the Japanese. They usually attacked strongholds and the Siberian Railway.

During the Soviet Union's winter counterattack, Kong Jie and Ding Wei cooperated with the Soviet Union to attack the Japanese logistics, captured several train stations, and stole a lot of supplies.

Even so, the Japanese were busy dealing with the Russians and did not have much energy to deal with Li Yunlong.

Unexpectedly, Li Yunlong's troops actually captured Ningci Gangcun.

Another general, another front commander.

Although Meijing Meijiro and the people at the headquarters do not get along, they have a common enemy - the navy.

Previously, the Minister of the Navy mocked the army at the Imperial Conference, saying that if generals continued to die in battle, only colonels would be able to attend the Imperial Conferences in the future. This made many army generals angry.

Originally, as the Kwantung Army and other troops won victory after victory on the battlefield and occupied large tracts of land, this incident had been forgotten. However, when Ningji Okamura was captured again, the unpleasant memory came back.

It’s the commander again, and it’s Li Yunlong again!

"Commander, this Li Yunlong must be eliminated. He has taken advantage of our war with the Russians to occupy many of the Empire's fortresses. Even the fortress in Lesser Khingan Mountains has been captured by Li Yunlong's troops!"

Another Japanese general stood up and wanted to deal with Li Yunlong.

Mei Jing Meijilang took a deep breath and said, "Everyone, be quiet!"

After hearing what Mei Jing Meijiro said, everyone stopped arguing and waited for Mei Jing Meijiro to give orders.

"Gentlemen, I know you are all very angry, but anger cannot solve the problem."

"Li Yunlong's troops have been entrenched in Hailar and other areas for some time. According to intelligence, he has received a lot of assistance from the Russians and is strengthening the fortress defenses."

"Li Yunlong has approximately 150,000 troops under his command. If the Empire wants to destroy Li Yunlong's forces now, it will have to mobilize at least 15 divisions, or even more!"

Although the Japanese did not attack Li Yunlong, they had been conducting intelligence investigations on him and learned some information.

"I'm not exaggerating, but Li Yunlong has occupied the fortresses built by the empire. To capture these fortresses, it would require huge sacrifices and a lot of time!"

After listening to Mei Jing Meijiro's previous words, all the Japanese generals roughly understood what he meant.

"Our main enemy now is not Li Yunlong. We just need to strengthen the defense of the Greater Khingan Range area. Our enemy is!"

Mei Jing Meijilang pointed to the Russian bear's territory in Siberia and said: "It is this scarred Russian bear. The German Third Army has already launched an attack on Moscow. According to the intelligence we have obtained, the Russian bear is ready to abandon the Siberian region!"

"As long as we eliminate the Siberian bear army and occupy this entire area, the Empire can surround Li Yunlong in this area at any time!"

"Without the support of the Russians, Li Yunlong's army of over 100,000 is nothing but a trapped beast. We don't even have to suffer heavy casualties. We just need to surround him and cut off his supply, and we can destroy him!"

Mei Jing Meijilang finished speaking, glanced at all the generals and said, "The spring offensive plan remains unchanged, but we can't just ignore Li Yunlong. He keeps harassing our logistics lines, which is indeed a problem. I need a force to ensure the safety of our logistics!"

"Hai!"

"Once our Kwantung Army has dealt with the Russian bear, that will be the day of Li Yunlong's demise!"

At this time, a transport plane was landing above the Hailar Fortress Airport.

On the plane, Ningji Okamura was tied up, his face was swollen like a pig's head, and there were burns on his head, which was only simply bandaged. There was a vegetable leaf hanging on the broken frame of his glasses.

From the train overturning, to being captured, and then being stuffed onto a plane.

It took less than three hours in total.

Before Ningji Okamura could react, he was already put on the plane. When he came to his senses, the plane had already started landing.

Looking at the plane he was on and Ding Wei playing with his watch on the plane, Ningji Okamura was a little dazed.

Is the army that attacked him really the Eighth Route Army?

What did I see before I boarded the plane? Hidden in the mountains of the Greater Khingan Range was an airport. Although it wasn't large, it could accommodate more than a dozen aircraft.

What was most unbelievable to Ningji Okamura was that these planes could actually take off and land at night.

After the plane landed and stopped, Ding Wei picked up Ningci Gangcun like an eagle catching a chick: "Let's go, Gangcun old devil, we've arrived!"

Ningji Gangcun didn't struggle. He just looked up at Ding Wei and said, "Who are you? Which unit are you from?"

"Didn't I introduce myself?"

Ding Wei suddenly remembered that he was too excited after capturing Ningci Okamura and did not introduce his identity to the old devil.

"Since you asked, I'll be merciful and tell you, listen carefully, my name is Ding Wei!"

"Ding Wei?"

Okamura Neiji thought for a moment and said, "Is that Ding Wei who likes to blow up bridges and railways? You are the Fox of China, the Thorn of the Empire, the Destroyer of the Empire, the Destroyer of the Sixth and First Divisions... a subordinate of Li Yunlong?"

Chapter 527 I am the one behind the scenes

Ding Wei listened to Gangcun Ningci reeling off a bunch of nicknames for Li Yunlong, while he himself was just a bridge and railway demolition worker. His expression was a little complicated. Why was there such a big difference between people? Why did Li Yunlong have so many nicknames, while he was just a bridge demolition worker?

"You little devils gave Li Yunlong so many nicknames, but I don't have a decent nickname? Bridge bomber, railway bomber, how ugly!"
