Anti-Japanese War: Li Yunlong dared to attack Taiyuan

Captain Zhang looked at the weapons and ammunition collected around him and stood there in a daze.

Two hours later, a main force regiment of the 115th Division arrived at the battlefield and transported all the supplies away.

Chapter 559 Kong Jie: Our troops’ location is somewhat important

"Old Ding, there's no specific mission for us in the counterattack on the four eastern provinces. Are we just told to continue guerrilla warfare?"

At the headquarters of the First Column in Greater Khingan Range, Yuan Ping looked at the battle plan, read it over and over again, and found the name of his column, but there was no specific combat mission.

Ding Wei sat down on a chair, then slowly took out his pipe, filled it with tobacco and said, "No specific task is the best task!"

"What do you mean?"

Ding Wei smiled and pointed to the map behind him: "Look where we are?"

"Outer Xing'an Mountains?"

"Our position is the key among the keys. If a fight breaks out, the Japanese reinforcements will desperately support the four eastern provinces. Our team will be the last guarantee."

"We must destroy all the roads, bridges, and railways that the Japanese have built here to delay the arrival of their reinforcements!"

"Besides, the command didn't assign us any tasks; they just let us do what we want. This time we can finally let go and do something big. Before, we were always afraid of hurting the Japanese!"

Ding Wei finished speaking and took out his little notebook: "I've been busy recording things for a year, and now they can finally come in handy."

"This is?"

"All roads, bridges, and railways around the Greater Khingan Range are located at key locations. Have all the troops prepare in advance, including explosives. We can either not fight or we can paralyze the Japanese!"

"Okay, I'll get ready now!"

At this time, Kong Jie also led his second column into Sun Wu's Shengshan fortress.

"Commander, what is the command doing in the fortress?"

Kong Jie pushed his glasses and walked to the map. "I've been thinking about this too! There must be a reason for the headquarters' arrangement. They haven't assigned any tasks yet, so they probably think of us as a reserve force!"

Kong Jie reviewed the battle deployment on the map again. At first, he felt that his position was a bit remote and had little to do with the main battlefield.

After all, judging from the orders issued by the headquarters, the combat mission should be to attack from the two directions of Baicheng and Tongliao, dividing the four eastern provinces into two parts, north and south, and then quickly move south to capture Shenyang, and then deal with the Japanese in Harbin and other places.

My current location is too far away from the main battlefield. If I rush there after the war starts, it will take more than ten days, and the battle will be over by the time I arrive.

In the past, Kong Jie would have been extremely anxious because such a big war had nothing to do with him.

But now Kong Jie will think carefully.

Soon, Kong Jie discovered the clue.

"what!"

Kong Jie couldn't help but exclaim, because from the map, although his location was remote, it was in a very delicate position, a position that few people would pay attention to.

If the battle breaks out in the four northeastern provinces, the Japanese will definitely focus their attention on big cities such as Fengtian, Harbin and Qiqihar.

Even Ding Wei's troops would conduct guerrilla warfare near the Greater Khingan Range, which would also attract the attention of the Japanese.

The Japanese would never have imagined that there was a team hiding between the Greater Khingan Range and the Northeast.

Kong Jie's heart couldn't help but tremble a little, and his eyes slowly turned to a very important city - Khabarovsk. Although it was still several hundred kilometers away, Kong Jie found that the location of his troops seemed to be the most suitable place for a surprise attack on Khabarovsk.

The activities of Ding Wei's troops in the north attracted the attention of the Japanese; the fighting in the four northeastern provinces in the south attracted the attention of the Japanese; the decisive battle between the Russians and the main force of the Japanese in the west also attracted the attention of the Japanese.

And he was in a position that the Japanese would not care much about, because there was no important city here at all. As long as he followed the Greater Khingan Mountains into the Lesser Khingan Mountains, he could do it all the way without anyone noticing.

Kong Jie's troops had been stationed in this area before, so they were familiar with the terrain and were able to avoid various Japanese outposts.

Kong Jie suppressed his excitement and said after thinking for a moment: "Yang Wanli!"

"To!"

Seeing that his commander had a very serious expression, Yang Wanli put away his smile and looked at Kong Jie seriously, waiting for orders.

"Immediately gather all the soldiers in our column who are skilled in mountain warfare. At least 5,000 of them are needed to form a mountain brigade. I can be of use to you!"

"Yes!"

Kong Jie touched his chin. He had seen the concept of mountain travel in a book.

The books Kong Jie had read before were all given to him by Li Yunlong. In addition to the books, there were also some of Li Yunlong's notes.

The concept of mountain travel was something Kong Jie learned from his notes.

The troops proficient in mountain warfare needed to cross the Greater Khingan Range and the Lesser Khingan Range to get from Sun Wu's Shengshan Fortress to Blagoveshchensk.

Marching in the mountains is very time-consuming. If it is true as Kong Jie guessed, that his troops are going to pierce the heart of the devil like a sharp knife, then he must start preparing now, gather the most elite soldiers of the entire column, and wait for the order to go out!

The large-scale mobilization of the Arshan troops could not be concealed from the Japanese, but the Japanese were not aware of the specific number and strength of Li Yunlong's troops.

But the Japanese also made corresponding adjustments, mobilizing some troops to garrison key positions to block the route that Li Yunlong's troops had to take to attack the four northeastern provinces.

For example, there was originally only one division stationed in Baicheng, but now the Japanese have transferred another division to Baicheng.

However, the Japanese still focused on the Siberian battlefield.

The Japanese Second Army was defeated head-on by the Soviet troops.

It took only three days from the encounter with the Soviet army to its defeat. In the end, only less than 20,000 people out of the 200,000 people escaped.

However, the Japs did not gain nothing.

Within three days, the Japanese offensive forces had advanced to the vicinity of Ulan-Ude and began to attack Ulan-Ude.

With the main force of the Soviet Union absent, the Siberian Front launched a fierce attack on Ulan-Ude.

But after a winter of hard work, the Russians built a fairly solid defense line that lasted until the main force returned for support.

After the main force of the Russian army arrived in Ulan-Ude, they did not choose to continue the decisive battle with the Japanese in Ulan-Ude, but continued to use the tactics taught to them by Li Yunlong, fighting and retreating.

The main force gradually abandoned Ulan-Ude while continuing to eliminate the Japanese's effective forces.

Originally, Li Yunlong thought that the Russians' fighting would turn the retreat into a rout.

But the amazing thing is that the Russian army did not suffer a major defeat during the retreat, and there were basically no deserters. They took advantage of the favorable terrain while retreating, constantly destroying the Japanese's manpower.

When they retreated to the vicinity of Kurkutsk, they had already caused at least 50,000 casualties to the Siberian Front, but the Soviet Union also suffered heavy casualties of more than 30,000.

However, just as the Soviet Union was preparing to retreat to Kurkusk, bad news came from the rear.

The Japanese 171st Division of the Kwantung Army's First Army occupied this important city before the Soviets retreated to Kurkusk.

With their retreat cut off, the main force of the Soviet Union was forced to engage in a head-on battle with the Japanese Siberian Front.

Thanks to Xiao Xia Xia for the great god certification, I will add one more chapter. Thanks to Xiao Xia Xia for the gold medal urging for more chapters. I currently owe ten chapters...

Then there's the issue of Ding Wei and Kong Jie's troop organization. I wrote it wrong before, and if I want to change it, I have to change a lot, so I changed Ding Wei to the first column and Kong Jie to the second column. It was too long and wrong, so I will pay attention to it next time! ~

I have no experience in researching the battlefield situation in Europe, so I wrote about the Battle of Kursk. I hope you can understand.

Finally, please give me some reminders and free gifts. The rules for adding more chapters remain unchanged. Thank you! ~

Chapter 560: Step-by-step instruction

June 23rd, cloudy.

"Report, urgent telegram from the Russian bear!"

Next to a jeep, a signalman on horseback quickly delivered a telegram to the window.

Li Yunlong took the telegram and smiled after taking a glance at it: "The Mao Bear and the Japs are about to have a decisive battle!"

Jiang Shou was resting with his eyes closed at this time. After hearing the news, he suddenly opened his eyes, picked up the telegram and looked at it carefully, and a smile appeared on his face.

"The opportunity has come!"

At this time, the main force of the Russian army had been surrounded by the Japanese in Angarsk, a city less than 50 kilometers west of Kurkutsk.

"But we can't let the Russians be defeated too quickly. We have to help them!"

Jiang Shou nodded: "We can delay it as long as possible, we need time!"

"Alright, I'll have the 171st Division send us the enemy's battle plan. We'll conduct targeted defenses and make sure the enemy gets their skin peeled off in Siberia!"

Jiang Shou nodded, then quickly opened the map: "How far is our First Corps from Baicheng?"

"The telegram I just received says that the newly formed 1st Division, which set out first, is only 20 kilometers away and can launch an attack on Baicheng this afternoon!"

"Well, notify the Air Force to prepare for action. Before the battle begins, we must first paralyze the Japanese Air Force. For at least two days after the battle, the Japanese will not receive any air support!"

"Yes!"

Li Yunlong wrote down the old leader's words, quickly wrote the telegram and handed it to the signalman.

Just as they finished processing the telegram about Siberia, another signalman caught up with them: "Report, a telegram from the Americans!"

"A telegram from the Americans?"

When Li Yunlong heard the telegram from the Americans, he was stunned. The Americans actually sent a telegram directly to him.

He took the telegram and read it, then laughed out loud: "The Americans are getting anxious. They want us to take action to support the Russian bear!"

After that, he handed the telegram over again. In this battle, Li Yunlong was just a student.

Now, Li Yunlong is the commander of the Heilongjiang-Jilin-Liaoning-Chahar Military Region. The division commanders, deputy division commanders and old leaders all belong to the Eastern Four Provinces Front Command.

Li Yunlong temporarily handed over the command of the troops to them.

After the problems in the four eastern provinces are resolved, Li Yunlong's position will definitely change.

I guess Li Yunlong will have to go back and discuss the specific arrangements.

"The Americans are getting anxious too. You understand the international situation better than we do. What do you think?"

At this time, Jiang Shou also noticed some subtle changes in Li Yunlong, especially his strong foresight in decision-making, and his predictions of various situations were often very accurate.

Li Yunlong put the telegram aside and said, "The Americans sent an army to reinforce Moscow. They suffered heavy casualties. Of the thirteen infantry divisions that went to reinforce Moscow, eight were lost!"

"Although Moscow was defended, the number of casualties is likely to shock the Americans. The Americans underestimated the intensity of the battlefield."
