Anti-Japanese War: Li Yunlong dared to attack Taiyuan

Soon Li Yunlong got an explanation from Kota Kotera.

"It was Private First Class Tojo who formulated the battle plan, bypassing Tian Huang and Kota Kodera and giving orders directly to the East China Expeditionary Force?"

Seeing Kota Kota's telegram, Li Yunlong thought for a moment and said, "Send a telegram to Shadow No. 2 to inquire about the situation!"

"Yes!"

The so-called Shadow No. 2 was actually one of the two Japanese devils who followed Kotaro Kotaro back with him.

Li Yunlong developed these three people into his intelligence personnel, but Kotaro Kotaro was promoted the fastest. Li Yunlong kept these two people hidden and did not use them.

Later, after Kotaro Kodera became the Japanese deputy chief of staff, Li Yunlong put these two people into use. Their jobs were simple, they just had to follow Kotaro Kodera.

These two people are also Kota Kotera's confidants and are quite clear about his every move.

These two people are also important factors in judging whether Kotera Kouta has betrayed Li Yunlong. If Kotera Kouta wants to break away from Li Yunlong and work alone, he will definitely find a way to get rid of these two people. As long as these two people lose contact, either Kotera Kouta will get into trouble or something will happen to him.

Soon, Li Yunlong received the news that everything was normal on Kotaro Kotaro's side.

After reading this news, Li Yunlong felt relieved. He knew about the factional problems within the Japanese army. Kotaro Kotaro was now a member of Tianhuang, so it was normal for him to be ostracized in the Japanese army headquarters.

"Send a telegram to Kota Kodera and tell him not to stay in Sakura City anytime soon!"

After finishing speaking, Li Yunlong quickly picked up the phone.

Li Yunlong needs to regain the face lost by the National Army as soon as possible and let the whole world know that it is not just the people in Shancheng who can represent China, but also them.

"Immediately have all the bombers from the airports in Fengtian, Changchun, and other places take off tonight and begin a three-day bombing raid on Yingdu!"

The bombing of Yingdu actually lasted for about a year. Many of the B29 bombers sent by the Americans had broken down and were being repaired in the repair shop. The Americans then dispatched about thirty more.

Airplanes are very expensive, so it is normal for them to break down while flying.

In order to facilitate maintenance, Li Yunlong borrowed professional ground crew and maintenance personnel from the Americans to repair the B29 bomber.

Because some spare parts often have problems, we requested some production drawings of spare parts.

Then several more bombers were scrapped for some reasons, and these scraps could not be shipped directly back to the United States. Li Yunlong could only deal with them reluctantly, and then the engines of these aircraft were dismantled.

The internal structure of the cabin was also disassembled. Li Yunlong recruited students from various universities such as the United Nations University and Tongji University, who were studying this knowledge day and night, and asked Tupolev to participate as well to learn how to build long-range bombers.

The massive bombing of the Japs was able to barely pick up some of the lost face, but it was far from enough, so Li Yunlong turned his attention to Dalian, a place that had not been resolved since Li Yunlong entered the four northeastern provinces.

The main reason why Li Yunlong did not capture Dalian was that he was worried that if he attacked rashly, the Japanese would destroy the Dalian shipyard.

In particular, there is a Yamato-class battleship under construction in the shipyard.

This Yamato-class battleship was originally planned to be completed in October last year, but after Li Yunlong took over the four northeastern provinces, the supply of raw materials was cut off, so the completion time was delayed.

The Japanese originally planned to pull it back to their homeland for construction, but for various reasons, it was not taken away.

Previously, the Japanese had resources provided by Odalia, and this Yamato-class battleship was expected to be completed in May 44. However, due to the war between Odalia and the United States, the route was cut off, and then by May, it was not completed.

It is still lying in the shipyard, but the overall construction is about 90% completed, and only the final step is left. However, given the current situation of the Japanese, this final step will be difficult to complete.

Now a large amount of materials in the Japanese country have begun to be transformed into light weapons, and they are preparing to manufacture a large number of light weapons for those unequipped troops, preparing a 100 million suicide plan.

There were even some Japanese who proposed to dismantle this Yamato-class battleship, but this proposal was rejected by the Navy, as the Navy did not have enough funds to continue construction.

Even if we raise funds from the Japanese people, it is still not enough.

Li Yunlong had been staring at this ship for a long time, except for this Yamato-class battleship.

Li Yunlong also coveted the workers in several shipyards in Dalian Port and the supporting factories in Dalian City that provided services to the shipyards.

These are all skilled technicians with a complete industrial system. As long as they can be controlled, Li Yunlong can also order the construction of a battleship or a heavy cruiser, or a light aircraft carrier of this era.

Here are three updates. Please give me some free reminders and free small gifts.

Chapter 736 Yu Zhiqian's Struggle

"How's the infiltration going in Dalian?"

As for Dalian, Li Yunlong never pushed too hard, and his troops did not get within 50 kilometers of Dalian.

Dalian was under the control of the Japanese navy, which had about 10,000 troops stationed there.

These forces are very complex, including Japanese marines, naval soldiers, and some overseas Chinese mobilized by the Japanese navy.

When Li Yunlong first entered the four northeastern provinces, the Japanese were very nervous. The Japanese navy even distributed weapons to all the overseas Chinese in Dalian City and organized an armed force of about 50,000 people, ready to fight a decisive battle with Li Yunlong.

Of course, this decisive battle was to fool the defenders. The real purpose of the Japanese navy was to immediately destroy Dalian's shipyards and various factories after Li Yunlong's troops attacked.

The Japanese army was reluctant to destroy the Fengtian Arsenal simply because it was too large. The Japanese army still had the dream of counterattack, but the Japanese navy in Dalian was different.

They knew that once Dalian was liberated by Li Yunlong, it would be difficult for the Japanese navy to take it back.

Even if they mobilized the fleet to come back for bombing, there was no way to occupy it. They were also very clear that the strength of the Marine Corps was not enough in front of Li Yunlong's troops, and there was no possibility of ground occupation.

Moreover, unlike Fengtian, if Li Yunlong's troops took Fengtian, they could at most produce some tanks and cannons, and at most produce planes to bomb the homeland, and the losses would not be too great. Once the shipyard was captured by Li Yunlong, Li Yunlong's troops would be able to build ships, which might pose a threat to the Japanese homeland.

This is no longer the era of hundreds of years ago when a hurricane could destroy an entire fleet. Once Li Yunlong's troops have ships, the Japanese dare not imagine what the consequences will be.

Especially when the Combined Fleet suffered heavy losses, the Japanese Navy was already hesitating whether to abandon Dalian.

However, seeing that Li Yunlong had no interest in Dalian, the matter of destroying the Dalian Shipyard was shelved, especially after Li Yunlong's troops continued to bomb important Japanese ports such as Sasebo.

The status of the Dalian shipyard is getting higher and higher.

There was no other way. The other shipyards were bombed from time to time. Some ships that came back from the Combined Fleet for repairs were bombed halfway through. After the bombing, they found that the damage was more serious than before they entered the factory, so it would be better not to repair them.

Because the Dalian Shipyard was located in China, Li Yunlong had never bombed it. Even when the Americans proposed to bomb the Dalian Shipyard, Li Yunlong firmly rejected it. Therefore, many Japanese ships went directly to the Dalian Shipyard for repair after being damaged.

The Japanese were also gambling that Li Yunlong would not attack today. Adhering to the idea that every day of use was a day of use, the Japanese navy also began to send some damaged warships to the Dalian Shipyard for repairs.

So during this period, the Dalian Shipyard was not only not abandoned, but became more and more lively, with Japanese ships coming in and out almost every day.

As Li Yunlong did not take action against Dalian and its surrounding areas for a long time, the Japanese gradually relaxed their vigilance, believing that Li Yunlong's focus should not be here, but to find a way to solve the army problem. The security in Dalian city also gradually relaxed.

However, what the Japanese didn't know was that Li Yunlong had always had his eyes on Dalian, and was looking for an opportunity to take Dalian.

Li Yunlong wanted Dalian, not a Dalian destroyed by war, but a complete Dalian, so he had been holding back and not taking action.

Although there was no fighting, Li Yunlong had been making various preparations. He first sent intelligence personnel into Dalian to start various preliminary preparations and collect various intelligence about the city of Dalian.

Including the structural map of Dalian city, the location of various factories in Dalian city, guard forces, etc.

After the Japanese began to relax their vigilance towards Dalian, Li Yunlong's special operations brigade began to send people into Dalian.

From the initial few people, to a company later, the special operations brigade now has a regiment in Dalian City, with more than 1,800 people.

These more than 1,800 people are now disguised as various people in Dalian City, and a large part of them are pretending to be puppet soldiers.

They were not the puppet troops under Lao Han. The puppet troops controlled by Lao Han were subordinate to the Japanese army, while the special operations brigade led by Yu Zhigan was the puppet troops of the Japanese navy.

This puppet army was specially recruited by the Japanese to strengthen the defense of Dalian. The total number of Japanese Dalian defenders was only a few thousand people, and the temporary mobilization of Japanese expatriates could reach 40,000 to 50,000 people.

However, most of these Japanese overseas Chinese were shipyard workers. If they were allowed to carry weapons all the time, the shipyard would have to stop working.

So the devils began to learn from the army and recruited some puppet soldiers to help them defend Dalian.

Then Yu Zhigan and his men appeared. They spoke with a fluent Northeastern accent and had served in the former Imperial Army. A telegram was sent to the puppet army headquarters in Manchukuo to confirm their identities. They were all soldiers who had been separated during the war.

So Yu Zhigan and others successfully started to take up their posts without any hindrance, holding guns and helping the Japanese to defend Dalian.

In addition, some people entered various factories in Dalian. Their purpose was to mobilize the workers in the Dalian factories.

In Dalian Shipyard and various factories, except for some technical jobs, most of the manual labor is done by Chinese people, and there are quite a few of them, more than 100,000 people.

If these people can be organized, they can become the most solid force to protect the factory when we attack Dalian.

So now, in Li Yunlong's view, the opportunity to recover Dalian has arrived, everything is ready, and there is no lack of favorable conditions.

"Order the Third Corps to march quickly to Dalian tonight. I want them to arrive at the city gates of Dalian tomorrow morning!"

"Yes!"

"Notify Yu Zhigan to start the operation early this morning. I want an intact Dalian and all the ships in Dalian Port!"

"Yes!"

At this time, in the puppet army camp in Dalian.

Yu Zhigan saw off a Japanese officer, looked at the wine bottle on the table, and sighed.

"Captain, what's wrong?"

The Japanese had already left, and the entire camp was filled with their own people, so they directly called Yu Zhigan the regiment commander. Moreover, Yu Zhigan had indeed been promoted to the pseudo-regiment commander, because when his identity was forged, he was given the identity of a regiment commander.

When he came, he brought dozens of people with him, so the Japanese navy initially gave him a company commander. Then, through Yu Zhigan's own scheming, he was promoted from company commander to regimental commander in half a year.

"It's nothing. We've been here for almost half a year. Has the commander forgotten us?"

Yu Zhigan said with some concern.

"Probably not?"

"When will this day end?"

Yu Zhigan sighed. Being a puppet soldier was so comfortable that he had gained several pounds.

"Report, telegram!"

Chapter 737 Preparing to Control the City

Yu Zhigan, who was originally a little listless, instantly perked up after hearing the word "telegram": "From the commander?"

"Yes, the commander's!"

Yu Zhigan suddenly got up from the table, quickly took the telegram and read it carefully.

Half a year has passed. During this time, Yu Zhigan racked his brains every day to think of various countermeasures to deal with the Japanese devils, and he gained several pounds.

Moreover, he couldn't train hard on weekdays. If he wanted to practice martial arts, he could only practice secretly. If he was too diligent, he would be suspected.

The three most important things when being a puppet soldier are to be lazy, lazy, and lazy!

If a puppet soldier cheats and skips work every day, there is definitely no problem. However, if a puppet soldier trains hard and stands guard seriously every day, there is definitely a problem.
