Anti-Japanese War: Li Yunlong dared to attack Taiyuan

Because they understood the enemy's defensive deployment, they easily broke through the enemy's outer positions, attacked the baggage train directly, and looted a lot of supplies.

At this time, the Japanese realized that the Russian troops were trying to break through, so they mobilized troops to start a siege.

By daybreak, the troops had successfully broken through Angarsk and were retreating westward. The Japanese were in pursuit, while Lao Han's troops continued to pretend to be logistics troops, cleaning up the battlefield as if nothing had happened, and were not in a hurry to defect immediately.

"Report, the deputy commander has called!"

In Li Yunlong's Baicheng headquarters, Li Yunlong rubbed his eyes after finally getting a good night's sleep. This was the most peaceful sleep Li Yunlong had had in a while. Although it was not long, only four hours, it was the longest sleep he had had in a single sitting during this period.

"Hmm? Did Lao Han and the others complete their mission?"

Li Yunlong took the telegram, glanced at it, then stood up and said, "The battle in Siberia is almost over, and we have to speed up our efforts here. After the Japanese finish their battle in Siberia, their main force will return to support us. We have to hold on until winter!"

There are two main reasons why Li Yunlong chose to launch the attack at this time.

First, when the war broke out in Siberia, the main force of the Japanese army was transferred to Siberia. Most of the remaining troops were new recruits with weak combat effectiveness. With the advantage of weapons and equipment, it was easier to defeat them.

In this way, the new recruits under his command can be transformed into veterans after being baptized by battle, and then they will be able to calmly deal with the elite troops of the Japanese.

Secondly, after this battle, it would be almost August. If the Russians could hold out a little longer, perhaps September would be in sight. This would leave only about a month until winter arrived in the four northeastern provinces.

Once winter arrives in the four northeastern provinces, it will be difficult for the Japanese to launch a large-scale campaign, and Li Yunlong will have plenty of time to calmly prepare for the next battle.

"What are you going to do with this bear general?"

In the command center, Jiang Shou also woke up. After reading the telegram, he asked Li Yunlong curiously.

"He's of no use now. His greatest value is his identity and his head!"

Li Yunlong smiled and said, "After the defeat in Siberia, the bearded man will no longer trust him. Even if he is sent back to Moscow, he will be marginalized, just like Timoshenko, who was put on ice after the defeat!"

Jiang Shou listened, looked at the map, and then laughed: "So you plan to give him to the devil you trained?"

After hearing this, Li Yunlong smiled and responded, "You figured this out?"

"Hahaha, kid, I didn't see it at first, but when I saw you send him to Arshan, and thought about how the Japanese sent the 171th Division and the st Division to attack Arshan, I understood."

"Yes, Gastilovich's only value now lies in his identity. He is the commander of the Soviet Siberian Front. Although he is just a commander without troops, he is still a commander after all."

"The Japanese lost so many lives and spent a lot of money and resources to defeat the Soviet Siberian Front, but in the end the commander of the Siberian Front escaped. The Japanese will definitely not be satisfied!"

"At this time, if someone stood up and captured the top brass of the Russian Siberian Front, this achievement would be enough to elevate Kota Kotaro's reputation to a higher level!"

Everyone immediately understood Li Yunlong's intention.

"How far do you intend to take this Kodera Kouta?"

"I don't know, let's go as far as we can!"

Li Yunlong set a small goal for himself, which was to train Kotaro Kotaro to become the Minister of the Army. As for whether he could go further, that depended on luck.

Chapter 614: Disguised Raid

Outside Fengtian City.

"boom!"

A huge explosion sounded, and a gun tower outside the city was instantly hit by a cannonball, and the gun tower was instantly shattered into pieces.

"Continue the attack!"

Milong roared and continued to advance with his soldiers.

The defensive fortifications outside Fengtian City were very complete. The Japanese built a large number of bunkers, artillery towers, various bunkers, and some permanent fortifications here.

In addition, there are various trenches and communication trenches. After learning that Li Yunlong's troops were heading south, the Japanese armored forces set up anti-tank obstacles in front of the positions outside the city, preventing our armored forces from approaching.

After the vanguard First Division arrived in Fengtian, it immediately launched an attack on Fengtian and began to clear the outer fortifications of Fengtian City.

"Battalion Commander, there's a Japanese bunker ahead with two firing points!"

"where?"

Milong picked up the telescope and looked in the direction the soldier pointed, and found that two bunkers in the hidden place were spewing flames.

Hearing this, Milong immediately picked up the walkie-talkie: "This is the first battalion. There is a Japanese bunker ahead of us. The coordinates..."

"Received. We will provide fire support to your unit in one minute. Be careful to evade!"

"Roger that!"

After Milong hung up the walkie-talkie, he immediately ordered: "Tell the attacking troops to hold off the attack. Fire support from the division headquarters will be coming soon!"

After receiving the order, all soldiers quickly sought cover.

There are three levels of fire support: one is the fire support provided by the fire company within the first battalion, which usually involves rocket launchers, small-caliber mortars, or machine gun fire suppression.

The second type is fire support at the regimental level. Their regiment is equipped with two types of artillery: Type 92 infantry gun and mountain gun.

The third type is division-level fire support, which is generally large-caliber heavy artillery or 107 rockets.

Because the explosion of large-caliber heavy artillery and 107 rockets has a very wide range, before providing fire support, in order to prevent accidental injuries, there will be a one-minute evacuation time to ensure that there will be no accidental injuries. After all, there will be a certain degree of error in the landing point of the artillery shells, except in emergency situations.

A minute later, two artillery shells landed at the coordinates that Milong had just reported, and the two Japanese firepower points were instantly silenced.

The soldiers of the first battalion quickly stood up and continued to approach the Fengtian city wall.

However, the defenders of Fengtian City resisted very resolutely.

There was an arsenal in Fengtian City, and the ammunition and supplies were well stocked. The Japanese defenders consumed ammunition without regard for losses, and the attacking forces advanced slowly.

At this time, the special forces lurking in Fengtian City also began to take action.

"Report, Captain, the Japanese have begun mobilizing Japanese expatriates in the city, distributing weapons, and building defensive positions in some of the city's buildings. It seems they are preparing to engage in street fighting with us!"

The captain of the special operations brigade that sneaked into Fengtian City was Zhang Qilin, the platoon leader who was the first to attack the Arshan Fortress.

Zhang Qilin thought for a moment and said, "How is the factory doing?"

"Everything is normal at the factory now, and production is still ongoing. However, all the ammunition is sent to the front line after it is produced!"

"Of those we contacted before, how many are willing to join us?"

Fengtian City is very large, and it is difficult to control important locations with just the special forces. So after Zhang Qilin entered Fengtian City, he contacted the people from the Northeast Bureau and organized a group of people.

"Yes, there are more than 4,000 of us, but we don't have any weapons!"

"It doesn't matter if we don't have weapons. We have them in the arsenal. Notify the comrades and wait for orders. When the time comes, we will seize the arsenal first and cut off the supply of the defending troops!"

"Yes!"

In the Baicheng Command Center.

"Report, the First Division has sent a telegram: they have launched an attack on Fengtian City. However, the Japanese are resisting with great determination, and the outer fortifications are very strong. So far, progress is slow!"

Li Yunlong took the telegram and read the First Division's report in detail, frowning slightly. He knew Fengtian was a tough nut to crack, but he didn't expect it to be so difficult.

After reading the telegram, Chief Jiang also fell into deep thought.

Both of them knew very well that the Japanese were only attacking the city with one division and that they were short of troops. Even so, their advance was still extremely slow.

In fact, this is also the reason why Li Yunlong was unwilling to forcibly attack the city. Forcibly attacking the city would require a large number of casualties. If it was a field battle, these casualties could be avoided.

"Notify the First Division to temporarily suspend their attack. Inform the Air Force to bomb the outer defense positions of Fengtian. Bring plenty of heavy bombs to blast a breach for me!"

"Yes!"

After Li Yunlong finished speaking, he thought for a moment and said, "Send a telegram to the Fourth Division, asking them to immediately load the fortress guns onto the train and send them to Fengtian!"

In the end, Li Yunlong decided to transfer the fortress artillery used to deal with Xinjing from Xinjing to Fengtian.

The defensive fortifications outside Xinjing were much fewer than those in Fengtian, and there were no city walls in Xinjing, making it easier to attack. In addition, the Northeast Bureau had developed many internal supporters and had already instigated some puppet troops to rebel, waiting for the order to revolt.

In addition, a small number of Japanese soldiers escaped from the Battle of Hada Mountain and ran back to Xinjing. They would definitely spread what happened in Hada Mountain, so as to shake the morale of the Xinjing defenders.

A few minutes later, Li Yunlong received a reply from the Fourth Division.

"Sending two fortress cannons to Fengtian should solve many problems. However, transporting them by rail from Xinjing to Fengtian will take time!"

Jiang Shou took a look and said, "We can't just wait and do nothing! We don't have much time to delay!"

Then he turned his attention to the Japanese reinforcements coming from the peninsula.

"Let the 1st and 2nd Divisions continue the siege. The 8th and 9th Divisions, as well as the 2nd Armored Division, go here!"

Li Yunlong looked at where Jiang Shou pointed and understood what he was going to do.

"Are you planning to eat up the Japs' reinforcements first?"

"Well, if the siege went smoothly, we would have taken Fengtian first, and then eliminated this Japanese reinforcement that was coming to support Fengtian. Since the attack is not going well and we need time to wait for the fortress artillery to arrive, we will eliminate their reinforcement first and then attack again!"

Li Yunlong thought for a moment and said, "What a pity! The Japs have become smarter now. Otherwise, we could also pretend to be Japs reinforcements and sneak into the city. That would be more convenient."

Hearing Li Yunlong's words, Jiang Shou laughed and said, "You are indeed a man of many tricks. We can't sneak into the city, but we can..."

Li Yunlong was stunned at first, then his eyes lit up and he asked, "What do you mean? Let our troops disguise themselves as the defeated Japanese army?"

"Yes, disguise yourself as a defeated army and eat these devils. This should end the battle faster!"

"Okay, I'll make arrangements right now!"

Disguised raids were what Li Yunlong was best at. It was with this trick that he killed Shinozuka Kazuo and captured Ping'an County.

Chapter 615: Run, run!

Songyuan.

After the Battle of Hadashan, Li Yunlong's command center moved from Baicheng to Songyuan.

At this time, the main force of the Japanese army in the south had been eliminated, and only Harbin had the troops to threaten Songyuan. Li Yunlong moved his headquarters to Songyuan, and Jiang Shou personally took charge, using himself as bait to see if the Japanese army in Harbin would move south.

"So many people were captured? And there was only one Japanese major general?"

Li Yunlong frowned as he looked at the list of prisoners. Clearly, this didn't make sense. These were four divisions of Japanese soldiers, with the Fifth Army's headquarters mixed in, and the highest commander was a major general? This was sheer deception!

"Go, gather all the older captives. I want to see how many big fish there are!"
