Anti-Japanese War: Li Yunlong dared to attack Taiyuan

Liu Hao, commander of the 9th Division, rode over on horseback. When he saw Li Yunlong, he immediately dismounted and ran to Li Yunlong.

"Is this your soldier?"

Li Yunlong pointed at the soldier crying on the ground and said.

Liu Hao saw them, took a quick look, didn't recognize them, and immediately shouted, "You two, come here!"

"Don't look anymore. I'm just calling you two, the two crying on the ground!"

The two crying soldiers saw their division commander coming and immediately stood up and ran over: "Division commander, you have to take care of this for us! The people from the Second Division are stealing our things. They are unreasonable and they even beat us up!"

One of the soldiers with a slap mark on his face hugged the division commander's thigh and started crying.

"Cry, cry, you just know how to cry! Get up!"

After saying that, Liu Hao looked at Li Yunlong and said, "Commander, you are my soldier!"

"Is this the soldier you lead? A soldier who can only cry on the ground?"

Liu Hao lowered his head.

"Commander, I..."

Li Yunlong looked at Liu Hao. "Liu Hao, I remember the ambush in Yang Village. You led the Second Battalion in chasing Yamamoto Ikki for over ten miles. After the battle, you were shot twice, but you persevered. I praised you as a tough guy in front of the whole regiment. Are you leading such soldiers now?"

Liu Hao lowered his head again.

The soldier who had just hugged Liu Hao's thigh saw Li Yunlong getting angry and immediately said, "Commander, this has nothing to do with our division commander. They were the ones who stole things! And they even beat people up!"

"What's your name?"

"Report, Commander, my name is Wang Yousheng!"

"Wang Yousheng, if someone steals your things, you just watch them take them? If someone hits you, won't you fight back?"

"You are a soldier, and soldiers must be brave. If you can't even protect the supplies you seized, how can you protect the people and the country?"

Hearing this, Wang Yousheng lowered his head.

"What are you standing there for? If anyone hits you, hit him back!"

"Yes!"

Wang Yousheng and another soldier immediately stood up, rushed to the warehouse door, and found the company commander who was in the lead.

At this time, the commander of the Second Division, Tang Wenguang, also rode over on horseback and saw from a distance that someone was beating his own soldiers.

"What are you doing? Which unit are you from?"

As soon as Tang Wenguang finished speaking, Li Yunlong turned his head. After seeing Li Yunlong, Tang Wenguang immediately trotted to Li Yunlong.

"Commander!"

Tang Wenguang was formerly a deputy battalion commander of the New 1st Regiment, and later the commander of the 7th Detachment. He made meritorious service in the Battle of Yun County, and later the unit was reorganized into the commander of the 2nd Division.

"Oh, you even know I'm the commander!"

Tang Wenguang heard the hidden meaning in Li Yunlong's words and knew that something had happened. He immediately lowered his head and said, "Commander, what happened? I just received an order to go north..."

"Is that your soldier?"

Li Yunlong pointed at the man who was being beaten by Wang Yousheng not far away.

Tang Wenguang nodded and said, "They are my soldiers!"

Seeing that there didn't seem to be any anger on Li Yunlong's face, Tang Wenguang breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that it was not a big deal.

"Is this how you lead your troops? You let them rob supplies in broad daylight?"

Tang Wenguang opened his mouth wide and looked at the warehouse not far away and the cars outside the warehouse.

"Commander, I..."

"Call your men over here! I want to see how brave they are to steal the supplies!"

Soon, the company commander with panda eyes and dozens of soldiers were stripped of their weapons and brought to Li Yunlong.

"Tell me, why are you stealing supplies?"

These soldiers all lowered their heads and dared not speak.

"There are no cowards among the soldiers under my command, Li Yunlong. During the war, you weren't even afraid of death, but now you don't dare to admit that you stole something?"

At this time, the company commander stood up and said: "Commander, I was the one who took the lead in grabbing it. There are some shells in here. Our troops will be transferred soon. I want to take more supplies to fight the Japanese. It would be a waste to leave them here!"

As soon as the words fell, Wang Yousheng immediately retorted: "You're talking nonsense. This is the supplies seized by our Ninth Division, and it's sealed!"

"Your Ninth Division has already occupied so many warehouses. What's wrong with sharing some with our brother units..."

Li Yunlong listened to the soldiers' argument, understood what had happened, and glanced at Tang Wenguang who was sweating.

"Tang Wenguang, ah Tang Wenguang, is this how good you are at leading troops? You dared to rob a sealed warehouse from a fellow unit today, will you rob civilians tomorrow?"

Tang Wenguang lowered his head, not daring to speak, and the company commander who was leading the group said, "Commander, everyone has their own responsibility. I was the one who took the lead in the robbery. It has nothing to do with the division commander. I just wanted to bring more weapons and ammunition to fight the Japanese!"

Hearing this, Li Yunlong kicked him and said, "Do you need to show off your bravery? What are you? You are soldiers, not bandits, not bullies. If the common people see you, how will they judge us? If the other brother troops see you, how will they deal with this matter?"

"You still think this is a trivial matter?"

The company commander stood up from the ground, lowered his head and said nothing.

Li Yunlong glanced at Tang Wenguang and the company commander. "If you can't lead the troops well, then forget about it. Before we entered the city, I repeatedly emphasized the importance of discipline. Is this how you enforce it? And your political commissar, get back to headquarters and take the blame!"

After Li Yunlong finished speaking, he turned around and left.

Only Tang Wenguang and the political commissar of the Second Division will be dealt with. As for the company commander, Li Yunlong does not need to deal with him yet. Someone will naturally deal with him.

"Does this happen a lot?"

As the number of troops increases, the relationship between them becomes quite delicate. Many things cannot set precedents. If Li Yunlong does not deal with Tang Wenguang seriously today, something worse will happen tomorrow.

Military discipline must be strict whether large troops are fighting or resting.

Soldiers cannot be indulged because they are violence machines and killing machines. Once a flaw is revealed, it will bring about all kinds of catastrophic consequences. You must know that there is an old saying that goes, "Bandits are like combs, and soldiers are like rakes." An army without military discipline is more terrifying than bandits.

Just like what the company commander said today, what he said seemed to make sense. He saw that the Ninth Division entered the city first, sealed many warehouses, and seized a lot of supplies. They entered the city later and now have combat missions, so they want to bring more supplies, saying that it is to fight the Japanese!

But this is by no means a reason for him to violate military discipline. Li Yunlong's troops have a complete logistics system. Except for a small part retained by themselves, all the materials in the warehouses seized by the Ninth Division will be handed over to the Logistics Department.

The logistics department would then make distributions based on the different missions of the troops. Li Yunlong's troops never had a situation where the combat troops were short of supplies.

Even at the most difficult moment of the Tashan defense line, there were transport planes dropping supplies overhead.

So Li Yunlong directly dismissed Tang Wenguang from his post. As for the company commander, he handed him over to his subordinates for handling. He might even be shot. Although the supplies he robbed belonged to friendly forces, it was still robbery, and this loophole must not be opened.

At most, Li Yunlong was involved in forced transactions back then, otherwise he would have been beheaded long ago.

"There should be more!" The chief of staff thought for a moment and said.

"Then deal with this seriously. This matter must not be tolerated. Tell Lao Zhao that the entire army should conduct self-examination and self-reflection. The army is expanding rapidly, and military discipline must keep up, otherwise it will soon be weakened!"

"Yes!"

Military discipline is one of the souls of an army. Once an army has problems with military discipline, other problems will soon arise. Moreover, bad practices in the army can easily spread from one person to ten, from ten to a hundred, and from a hundred to ten thousand.

When large-scale military operations are carried out, military discipline must be strict!

Here comes the fourth update, thanks to my book friend Shizun Wujiu Qingjing Guangshui for his certification as a great writer.

Some people said that yesterday’s attack on the Khabarovsk headquarters was a bit exaggerated, and they could have searched the Hu family shack and fought there.

Chapter 657: The Proud Japanese Navy

The devil's imperial meeting.

Within a few days, the Imperial Conference was convened again. This time, it was Navy Minister Shigetaro Shimada who requested it.

At this time, Shigetaro Shimada stood at the head of the naval generals with high spirits, holding his head high and looking down on the army generals and Prime Minister Private First Class Tojo.

The reason why Shimada Shigetaro convened the Imperial Conference was simple: the army was defeated again, and another commander had died in battle or been captured.

This time, the person captured was the Kwantung Army Commander-in-Chief, Umekyo Mijiro. Along with Umekyo Mijiro, two other army generals, Kimura Heitaro and Koiso Kunisho, were also captured.

Losing three generals at once was unprecedented for the Japanese, and it was unlikely to be repeated. Under such circumstances, how long would the Navy wait before taunting and suppressing the Army?

As for sympathy for the army? Or are you worried that these things will affect the devil's national destiny?

What a joke! The Army is finished, not the Navy. If the Army fails, the Navy can take over. It would be better to abolish the Army and expand the size of the Marine Corps!

At this moment, all the naval commanders looked at the army with expressions of gloating. On the other hand, although the army was somewhat annoyed, it did not show too much worry or anger.

Mei Jing Meijiro was indeed dead, but the Kwantung Army was still there, and its 500,000 elite soldiers were still there. For the Japanese Army Headquarters, now was the best time to disintegrate the Kwantung Army. As long as the Kwantung Army could be controlled, it would be like cutting off an arm of His Majesty the Emperor.

The Japanese high-ranking officials were dissatisfied with many of the emperor's actions and wanted to return to the shogunate era, but the existence of the Kwantung Army was the biggest obstacle preventing them from treating the emperor as a puppet. Now, their opportunity has come.

The atmosphere at the Imperial Conference was somewhat strange. The Emperor sat alone in his seat, lost in thought. He was pondering how to salvage the situation. He was well aware of the thoughts of his ministers, especially Private First Class Tojo, who, on the surface, showed great respect for him but in reality, wanted to turn him into a puppet and monopolize power.

Now that Meijing Meijiro is dead, and the entire command center has been wiped out, many of the emperor's confidants have been killed. Now the Kwantung Army is leaderless, and it is necessary to quickly select someone to lead the Kwantung Army and bring it back under their control.

The army generals remained silent, each pursuing their own plans.

Those in the Emperor's faction hoped to be sent to the Kwantung Army to save it;

The people in the Army Headquarters were considering how to defeat the Kwantung Army;

Some of the more senior officers worried about being assigned to the Kwantung Army. After all, Li Yunlong had already solidified his reputation as the "General Killer." Several generals had gone there, and none had returned alive. The remaining Japanese generals were now apprehensive, fearing they would be called upon.

Private First Class Tojo remained silent at this time, pondering the impact and consequences of this incident.

This matter must not be made public, otherwise it will have a huge impact on the morale of the Japanese people. Not only that, but we also have to consider how to take the Kwantung Army back to the Army Headquarters, and how to deal with these annoying navy.

Navy Minister Shigetaro Shimada looked at the silent army and moved his hands slightly, and immediately a vice admiral stood up.

"Your Majesty, I have something to report!"

"Say!"

"Hai, Your Majesty, Li Yunlong's air force launched a surprise attack on the Sasebo Army and Navy Base, burning it to ashes. I believe the Army is incapable of building a naval base. All of the Army's transport ships should be transferred to our Navy, and we should handle all future transport work! This way, we won't have hundreds of planes and tanks destroyed by Li Yunlong's troops!"
