Anti-Japanese War: Li Yunlong dared to attack Taiyuan

While cleaning the battlefield, a Japanese soldier found a military uniform from the backpack of a Russian general.

"General Mao Xiong's military uniform?"

"And a medal!"

"This is his officer ID!"

The Japanese soldiers excitedly began to search the body of General Mao Xiong and the prisoners around them, and soon found a number of officer certificates.

They didn't recognize the words on it, but they recognized the photo on the officer's ID card.

This group of people were photographed facing the camera in military uniforms, and the stars on their shoulders could be clearly counted.

"One, two, three, three stars, is he a general?"

"Baga, it's a general. The Russian military ranks are major general, lieutenant general, general, and general. This is a general!" A Japanese officer reminded loudly, and the word "general" was very difficult to pronounce.

The captain of the cavalry brigade saw the officer's certificate that his men had found, and quickly fumbled around Gastilovich's body and found Gastilovich's officer's certificate in a pocket.

"No wonder a group of people protected you so well, you are actually a general!"

The captain of the Japanese cavalry battalion said excitedly.

"Report to the division commander immediately! We have captured the Russian general who escaped, the Russian commander of the Siberian Front, Gastilovich!"

The Soviet Union had only one general in Siberia, Gastilovich.

Soon, Kota Kotera received news from the cavalry brigade.

"Has the commander of the Siberian Front, General Gastilovich, been captured?"

When he saw the content of this telegram, Kota Kotera's hands were shaking.

He didn't expect that the gift that General Li Yunlong mentioned was so big. It turned out to be the commander of the Soviet Siberian Front, and there were also a bunch of major generals, lieutenant generals, and generals. He was going to wipe out all the top leaders of the Soviet Siberian Front.

"calm down!"

Kota Kotera forced himself to calm down, but his hands were shaking.

Three updates are here. Normally, there are three updates. Previously, I would give rewards for additional updates, but I've paid them back. The rules for rewards and additional updates remain the same, as do the rules for urging for additional updates. I'd also like some free gifts and urging for additional updates. Thank you! ~

Chapter 641 Witness the Strength of the Type A Division

A few minutes later, Kotaro Kota calmed himself down, took a deep breath, and said, "Order the troops to move towards the cavalry brigade immediately!"

"Hai!"

After catching the big fish, Kota Kotera did not report it immediately. Instead, he calmly gave orders and then immediately sent a telegram to Li Yunlong to report the news to him.

In the Songyuan Command Center, Li Yunlong looked at the telegram sent by Kota Kotera.

"Gastilovitch was caught by Kodera Kouta!"

"This is a great achievement. This Kodera Kouta you trained might be able to become a lieutenant general this time!"

After hearing this, Li Yunlong shook his head slightly and said, "It's not enough. The Osaka Division is still in the Japanese Army. Only by destroying the 4th Division can Kota Kotera have a chance to take over the position of commander of the 4th Division. After all, he is from Osaka!"

After that, Li Yunlong quickly wrote an order: "Send a telegram to Ding Wei, telling him to destroy the Japanese Fourth Division, leaving no one alive!"

The Fourth Division knew too much, Zhong Ming Daxiang knew too much, and the other regiment commanders also knew too much. These were all destabilizing factors. Li Yunlong needed to eliminate all of these destabilizing factors.

If these people die, Kota Kodera's secret can be kept.

"Yes!"

After the war broke out, Ding Wei's troops entered the Greater Khingan Range area and ambushed the Japanese logistics troops to relieve the pressure on the Soviet Siberian Front.

Ding Wei did an excellent job in this regard. He attacked the Japanese transport convoys dozens of times, destroying and seizing a large amount of supplies. If it weren't for Ding Wei's destruction of the Japanese logistics forces, the Russian Siberian Front would not have been able to hold out for so long.

Li Yunlong did not hide this battle record and reported it every day to let Moscow know that Li Yunlong was definitely not the kind of person who would sit idly by when friendly forces were in trouble.

I am indeed helping them.

It’s a pity that the Japanese were too powerful and Li Yunlong’s ability was limited, and in the end the Soviet Siberian Front was defeated.

Moreover, he sent troops to rescue Gastilovich and saved some of the remaining Russian soldiers. He had done his best.

At this time, in a hidden place about thirty kilometers away from Arshan.

The First Column under Ding Wei received a telegram from Li Yunlong.

"Has the bridge ahead been blown up?"

"Report, it's been blown up!"

"Well, then we'll wait until the devils build the bridge before we take action."

"Yes!"

Soon, the vanguard of the 4th Division discovered the blown-up bridge.

After receiving the report from the vanguard, Zhong Ming Daxiang sneered, "The bridge was blown up, and it was only recently. It seems that Li Yunlong's troops are really unprepared and are trying to use this to delay our attack!"

"How wide is the river? Is the water turbulent?"

Zhong Ming Daxiang originally planned to wait until the bridge was repaired before crossing, but then he thought that if he ordered the bridge to be repaired now, it might delay the process. If the river was not too wide and the current was not too fast, he could just let the soldiers cross the river armed directly.

Speed ​​is of the essence in war, and Zhongming Daxiang is well aware of this truth.

"Report, the vanguard reports, the river is about ten meters wide, but the current is not rushing, and the middle is only half a meter deep!"

Hearing this, Zhong Ming Daxiang smiled and said, "No need to build a bridge. Order the troops to cross the river immediately. The engineering troops will build a pontoon bridge. Hand over the heavy weapons to the logistics troops. The rest of the troops will continue to advance towards Arshan at an accelerated pace!"

"Hai!"

Soon, troops of the Japanese Fourth Division arrived near the Khalkha River.

The 8th Regiment in the front has successfully crossed the river, and the 37th Regiment is also crossing the river at this time.

On the riverbank were various heavy weapons abandoned by the 8th and 37th Regiments.

The Khalkha River is not turbulent, and its water is mainly melted snow. Although it is summer, the water is still icy cold. Many Japanese soldiers shivered from the cold after entering the water.

"Report, the Japanese are crossing the river. A regiment has already crossed the river and is heading towards Arshan!"

The troops ambushed by Ding Wei were still about five kilometers away from where the Japanese were crossing the river. There was no other way. This area was an open grassland and hills, and it was difficult for a large army to hide its whereabouts. If they wanted to avoid being discovered, they had to stay farther away.

"Almost done, order the troops, we will fly the banner of Kong Jie's troops and attack!"

"Yes!"

The First Division and the Second Division under the First Column were located about ten kilometers ahead of the Japanese. After receiving the order, they quickly began to assemble and launched an attack on the location where the Japanese crossed the river!

The 3rd and 4th Divisions of the 1st Column were upstream of the Japanese crossing point. After receiving the order, they also attacked quickly.

Together with a division following behind the Japanese troops, the Japanese Fourth Division was surrounded on three sides.

To the south of the 4th Division, 5,000 people led by Fang Zheng were heading north to block the last gap.

However, the military flags of these troops were not those of the First Column, but those of the Second Column. This was something Li Yunlong had specifically instructed.

"Report, the reconnaissance team reports that a large number of Eighth Route Army troops have appeared ahead of us, numbering approximately 10,000, and are charging towards us!"

A messenger hurriedly delivered a telegram.

After seeing the telegram, Zhong Ming Daxiang did not panic: "Order the Eighth Regiment to quickly establish a defensive position, and the 37th Regiment to speed up the crossing of the river!"

"Order the 171st Division to quickly move closer to our unit!"

"Hai!"

"Your Excellency, Division Commander, we are crossing the river..."

"This is Arshan's last remaining defensive force. How foolish! Instead of hiding in Arshan and engaging in a positional battle with us, they launched an offensive. It seems Li Yunlong's troops have fought too many Type C divisions and thought our Fourth Division was also a Type C division and would be crushed in one blow!"

"Today, let them see the strength of the Imperial A-Class Division!"

Zhong Ming Daxiang raised his head and said that although the Fourth Division likes to do business, as a veteran Type A division, it still has its own strength. Zhong Ming Daxiang believes that with the strength of the Fourth Division, even if it faces Li Yunlong's 100,000 troops, it can still compete with it!

And there is the 171st Division providing cover on the flank.

"Hai!"

But soon, more bad news reached Zhongming Daxiang.

"Report, the flank reconnaissance team reports that a large number of Eighth Route Army troops have appeared on our flank, estimated to be around 10,000!"

"Report, Eighth Route Army troops have appeared behind us, numbering approximately several thousand!"

"Report, a large number of Eighth Route Army troops have appeared in the south, numbering approximately several thousand!"

Enemies appeared from all four directions. The smile on Zhong Ming Daxiang's face disappeared, replaced by a frown with a "chuan" shape on his face.

The 4th Division was surrounded.

"Send a telegram to Kota Kotera, telling him to quickly move the 171st Division closer to our unit. Also, send a telegram to headquarters, saying our unit is surrounded by Li Yunlong's Second Column. Requesting support!"

"Hai!"

Although the battle had not yet begun, Zhong Ming Daxiang sensed a conspiracy. Li Yunlong's troops must have been lying in ambush nearby, waiting for him to cross the river. Otherwise, the reconnaissance and vanguard troops would not have waited until they took action before discovering their tracks.

"Report, the Eighth Route Army Air Force is here!"

Small black dots appeared in the distant sky, approaching the sky above the 4th Division.

Chapter 642: The End of the Osaka Division

"Plane! Take cover!"

"Enemy planes!"

When the 4th Division discovered the plane, it was about to arrive over the 4th Division.

"Spread out! Quickly spread out!"

Although the Japanese officer shouted loudly and tried to get his soldiers to disperse, it was too late.

One after another, the Bo-2 trainer aircraft appeared in the sky. Most of the aircraft left in Arxan are Bo-2 trainer aircraft, and the pilots are all novice.
