Major Akai did not get carried away by anger, and chose to go deep into the mountainous area and continue to pursue Li Yunlong.
Faced with Li Yunlong's cunning and changeable attitude, the major had a psychological shadow. He might have more arrangements waiting for him when he continues to go deep into the mountainous area.
In the end, Major Akai had no choice but to retreat and return to Pingyao County.
Major Akai made a detailed report on the situation, highlighting the strength of Li Yunlong's team, Li Yunlong's high tactical ability, and his cunning and cunning.
Then he raised the issue of intelligence leakage. Li Yunlong's arrangements were so targeted, so he must have obtained very detailed intelligence.
Subsequently, Major Akai submitted both reports to the First Army Headquarters in Taiyuan.
Because Yoshio Shinozuka had specially arranged before that any information about Li Yunlong could be submitted directly to him.
The kid in the secret room who received the report from Major Akai was sent directly to the hands of General Yoshio Shinozuka without hesitation.
When he heard that a major from Pingyao had sent a report about Li Yunlong, Yoshio Shinozuka frowned slightly and immediately had some guesses in his heart.
This Li Yunlong must have done something else, and our side also suffered huge losses.
How many days have you been settled now? ! Yamamoto Kazuki had just gotten some clues from his investigation, and Li Yunlong appeared again!
After receiving the report, Yoshio Shinozuka read it carefully, and saw right away that the chemical troops of the Kwantung Army were ambushed by Li Yunlong's troops and were completely wiped out by them. All the special bombs were destroyed!
Yoshio Shinozuka couldn't help but take a deep breath and suppress a trace of annoyance in his heart. Even if he didn't read the second report, he immediately thought of the issue of intelligence leakage.
You must know that the marching route of this chemical force is determined by the combat staff room of the First Army, and the route will be changed at any time.
There must be a high-level enemy spy lurking within the First Army!
"Send an order for the intelligence department to intensify the internal review of our army and clean out all the bugs!"
However, this is not the biggest headache for Shinozuka Yoshio now. He originally wanted to use this chemical force of the Kwantung Army to restore the disadvantage of the front line, but it was ruined.
This forced Yoshio Shinozuka to consider ending this action plan early.
By the way, he still had to argue with the Kwantung Army. After all, the chemical troops were completely wiped out in the First Army's defense area after being seconded by him, and the responsibility fell on him.
After calming down, Yoshio Shinozuka continued to read the report and learned all about the follow-up situation of this incident.
"call…"
Exhaling, Yoshio Shinozuka had a clear understanding of Li Yunlong and his troops this time.
"A cunning opponent indeed!"
Yoshio Shinozuka did not punish Major Akai. He knew that including the deceased Major Takeshita, they only committed the common problems of today's army, rigid tactics and rigid strategic thinking.
When meeting someone like Li Yunlong who never plays by the rules, it is inevitable to suffer losses.
"Such a powerful firepower?! Masaka?" Yoshio Shinozuka guessed that the Eighth Route Army must have a stable source of arms, or they have established their own arsenal!
Otherwise, it would be impossible for Li Yunlong's team to have such a high level of weapons configuration.
Recalling what Kazuki Yamamoto had handed over before, regarding the area where Li Yunlong's team was hiding, Yoshio Shinozuka immediately ordered, "Send an order and notify the aviation team to conduct high-altitude reconnaissance of these two areas!"
"Be sure to find traces of the Eighth Route Army's military factory!"
Yoshio Shinozuka circled the northern range of Taiyue Mountain and the hinterland of Taihang Mountain on the map.
"Also, inform the troops stationed at various traffic arteries and checkpoints to increase inspections and be sure to cut off the enemy's supply channels!"
"By the way, let's ask Colonel Yamamoto how his intelligence collection is going?"
On the other side, just as Yoshio Shinozuka dispatched the aviation team to conduct reconnaissance, Li Yunlong led the first battalion back to Baiwanyu.
At the edge of Baiwanyu Village, when he saw Li Yunlong from a distance, Zhao Gang quickly greeted him and looked up and down carefully, "Old Li, are you not injured?!"
Li Yunlong waved his hand, "Hey, the little devil who can hurt us hasn't been born yet!"
Then, Zhao Gang looked at the battalion of soldiers passing by, their bodies covered with traces of gunpowder smoke and mud.
The medical team took over the injured and took the time to provide further medical treatment.
"Old Li, it seems that this battle was very intense, and the first battalion suffered quite a lot of casualties!"
Li Yunlong nodded, "Well, thanks to brother Xu's accurate intelligence and the snipers who were initially trained, otherwise this operation might have been abandoned halfway!"
"I'll tell you more about it later!"
After arranging the first battalion, Li Yunlong returned to the regiment headquarters and took a good shower.
In Pingyao County, Xu Gaoxiang had already left the county one step ahead of schedule.
This was Wu Ran's reminder. He knew that as soon as Li Yunlong succeeded, the Japs would definitely seal off the county and staying here would be risky.
Anyway, Wu Ran has already connected with Josuke Tohara, and Xu Gaoxiang's mission is completed.
In a small town, just one day after leaving Pingyao County, Xu Gaoxiang could already hear here that Li Yunlong led the team to annihilate a chemical force.
After all, once those gas bombs exploded, even the corpses of those little devils were difficult to dispose of, and the local people quickly spread the news.
Xu Gaoxiang was very happy. This was considered as his personal participation in it, and he felt quite a bit about it.
Soon, the news also reached the former enemy command headquarters of the Eighth Route Army.
Deputy Chief Conductor Yile said, "It's Li Yunlong again. Is this bastard just lucky enough to meet him like this?!"
The deputy commander looked aside, and the commander of the 129th Division happened to be here at this time.
"Old Liu, don't you know the situation?"
The teacher smiled and shook his head, "Haha, Li Yunlong is in a free-range state now. These actions are basically his own, and we only receive reports from him after the fact!"
The deputy commander nodded, "Then where did Li Yunlong get his intelligence source? It couldn't be a lurker he developed himself, right?!"
The teacher's tone was humorous, "Haha, you can't tell. This kid Li Yunlong has a lot of clever ideas, and now he has more freedom of movement. He might give you some surprises!"
The deputy commander put his hands behind his back and said, "Old Liu, I have to remind you that if Li Yunlong gets used to being wild, it will be difficult for him to command!"
Speaking of this, the teacher smiled leisurely and said, "Hahaha, I'm not worried at all now."
"Boss, you also know that this guy Li Yunlong has always had a bad relationship with the political commissar. He basically works as the political commissar alone."
"It's different now. The political commissar replaced this time is a good match."
Deputy Chief Conductor Yile said, "Haha, finally someone can take care of this Li Yunlong."
After talking about Li Yunlong, the deputy commander-in-chief talked about business with the division commander.
"Old Liu, I called you here this time to ask how your 129th Division has been preparing recently. I plan to start the first phase of the battle with you!"
The division commander's face straightened, "Don't worry, our 129th Division is always ready, just leave it to us!"
