Wei Dayong's gun is not a firearm, but a cold weapon: the red tassel gun.
Hirakawa Yongfu saw Li Yunlong asking a soldier to fight him, and Hirakaku Yongfu's already unwilling mood broke out again.
He waved his command knife and slashed hard at Wei Dayong.
The air was shattered by Isamu Hiragaku's sword!
call out!
Faced with Pinglu Yongfu's brave sword, Wei Dayong did not directly take the blow, but sided to avoid it. The red tassel gun in his hand used a tricky carbine to stab Pinglu Yongfu in the back of his heart.
Hiragakuo Yongfu had rich battlefield experience and dodges at the critical moment.
But Wei Dayong's shot came too fast and fierce, and Pinglu Yongfu was not able to avoid it all.
puff!
Wei Dayong's red tassel spear pierced Hirakata Yongfu's left arm, piercing immediately and bleeding.
Pinglu Yongfu held back the severe pain and quickly swung his sword backwards with his right hand, slashing Wei Dayong.
Wei Dayong quickly retreated to avoid it, and took advantage of the situation to pull back the red tassel gun, and the blood of Pinglu Yongfu dripped from the tip of the gun.
Wei Dayong continued his offensive, sweeping through thousands of troops with one move, and swung towards Pinglu Yongfu's lower plate.
Ping Lu Yongfu suddenly provoked him, and with a plan, Taishan pressed down on the top and chopped Wei Dayong.
Wei Dayong dodged sideways again, and the red tassel gun in his hand swiped at Hirakata Yongfu's lower body again.
Pinglu Yongfu was helpless in the air. As soon as his legs landed, Wei Dayong's red tassel gun arrived.
puff!
The hamstrings of both legs of Hirakawa Yongfu were broken by Wei Dayong. Hirakawa Yongfu was unable to stand and fell to the ground.
The red tassel spear in Wei Dayong's hand stabbed Ping Lu Yongfu to the core, ending the battle cleanly.
"Brigade Captain!"
"Brigade Captain!"
"Brigade Captain!"
…
Seeing Ping Lu Yongfu being pierced through the heart by Wei Dayong, the remaining Japanese soldiers screamed in pain.
"Kill!"
"Long live!"
"Avenge the brigade leader!"
"Long live the Fourth Brigade!"
…
The Japanese soldiers lost control in an instant. They immediately held their bayonets and counterattacked towards the new group of soldiers like tigers descending the mountain.
But there was still no suspense in the final result. No matter how powerful the tiger was, it could not withstand the overwhelming number of wolves.
The new group of wild wolves quickly sent all the remaining Japanese soldiers back to their hometowns.
"Captain, here it is." Wei Dayong picked up Hirakata Yongfu's command knife and handed it to Li Yunlong.
"Hahaha." Li Yunlong laughed and took the knife: "Japanese General Sword, I have captured the first General Sword since the Anti-Japanese War, hahaha!"
After tasting it, Li Yunlong put the knife towards his waist and shouted: "Leave one company to seize the time to clean the battlefield, and the rest of the company, follow me and seize the time to loot the fourth brigade!"
"Yes, commander!" All the soldiers of the new regiment cheered and quickly attacked.
…
Ninth Brigade
"Commander of the Brigade, there is an urgent call from the Fourth Brigade!"
A staff officer hurried over and handed the newly arrived telegram to the commander of the ninth brigade.
The commander of the Ninth Brigade was very suspicious: It was almost the Chinese New Year, and the Fourth Brigade was in urgent need of rest and recuperation. At this time, what other emergencies could there be?
When the commander of the ninth brigade received the emergency call, his eyes widened in an instant: Hirakawa Yongfu was unexpectedly surrounded by the Eighth Route Army's new regiment, and the situation was already over.
Hiragakuo Yongfu also explained in the telegram that the new regiment has six to seven thousand troops, and all of them are elite soldiers who dare to fight!
Hiragakuo Yufu called on the 9th Brigade to immediately send troops into the 4th Brigade's defense area, not only to rescue the 4th Brigade, but at least not to let the new regiment loot and bring back the materials in the 4th Brigade's defense area.
"Baga, this damn new regiment has completely become a serious problem." The commander of the ninth brigade cursed, "With a strength of six to seven thousand troops, this is the strength of one brigade. "
"Captain of the brigade, this Eighth Route New Regiment defeated the Third Regiment of the Fourth Brigade on Cangyun Ridge in the past, and then pursued and killed the Fourth Brigade. Now the Fourth Brigade is going to be wiped out by the New Regiment. We can't Just sit back and ignore it." The staff officer said solemnly, "The Eighth Route Army is causing trouble during the Chinese New Year, and it is clear that they are provoking our First Army!"
"Pass my order to assemble the 17th Regiment immediately, as well as the 27th Brigade, and quickly rush to the rescue of the 4th Brigade." The commander of the 9th Brigade did not hesitate.
"Brigade Commander, our Ninth Brigade also suffered one-third casualties on the frontal battlefield. If you send out the Seventeenth Regiment and the Twenty-seventh Brigade now, our defense area will be empty." The staff officer said, "What if there is an emergency in the defense zone..."
The commander of the 9th Brigade interrupted: "There are six to seven thousand people in the Eighth Route New Regiment. Even Hirakata Yongfu fell, so we can't be careless. As for the empty defense area, the national army team opposite us has been killed by us. Even if you give them ten courages, they won’t dare to march!”
"Indeed, that's true." The staff officer nodded.
In the past, in Cangyun Ridge, more than a thousand people from the Eighth Route New First Regiment defeated the Bantian Alliance, and then caused the Bantian Alliance to suffer a disaster.
Now that the strength of the new regiment is different from what it used to be, it is stronger than before, so naturally it cannot be careless and underestimate the enemy.
With fewer troops deployed, not to mention not being able to stop the new group, if things go wrong, you will have to put yourself in it.
As for the national army on the opposite side of the defense area, they had been killed before and were terrified.
Now, I'm afraid they don't dare to come over and provoke.
"Hurry up and mobilize your troops. I still need to report the situation to General Yoshio Shinozuka immediately." said the commander of the 9th Brigade.
"Ha Yi!" The staff officer ran away quickly.
The 14th Brigade
"Commander of the brigade, the 4th brigade has sent an urgent telegram from Hirakata Yongfu asking for help." The adjutant ran over and handed the urgent telegram to the commander of the 14th brigade.
The commander of the 14th Brigade received the emergency telegram and had the same reaction as the commander of the 9th Brigade: "Baga, this damn Eighth Route New Regiment has become a big problem now, and it even bullied our First Army. Oh, this is not going to let us live in peace and contentment for years!"
"Commander of the brigade, we must wipe out the Eighth Route New Group. Otherwise, all the cats and dogs will bully us in the future!" the adjutant said angrily.
"You immediately gather all the troops you can mobilize!" the commander of the 14th Brigade ordered, "I will contact General Shinozuka Yoshio immediately."
"Hayi!"
…
Taiyuan First Army Headquarters
"Colonel Yamamoto, it's almost the Chinese New Year, haven't you found the location of the 18th Army Headquarters yet?" Yoshio Shinozuka asked Kazuki Yamamoto in front of him.
The failure of the battle at Nomenkan was originally none of his business, Yoshio Shinozuka.
But at this time, the 13th Mixed Brigade of the Imperial Association Army and the Oshima Brigade were wiped out by the Eighth Route New Regiment, and Ping'an County also fell.
Yoshio Shinozuka also became the punching bag from above.
It was almost the New Year, and the First Army was unable to submit a satisfactory answer to the North China Expeditionary Force. Yoshio Shinozuka seemed extremely anxious.
He clearly knew that the location of the headquarters of the Eighteenth Group Army was not easy to find, but he still called Yamamoto Kazuki again to inquire.
"Sorry, General!" Yamamoto Kazuki lowered his head in front of Shinozuka Yoshio.
"Is there no progress at all?" Shinozuka Yoshio looked at Yamamoto Kazuki with some disappointment.
"General, it's not like there's no progress." Yamamoto Kazuki said.
"Oh, tell me?" Shinozuka Yoshio's eyes lit up with hope.
He could feel that the destruction of the 13th Mixed Brigade and the Oshima Brigade of the Imperial Association Army must have something to do with the strategic talent of the 18th Group Army.
If we don't kill this person quickly, we don't know what kind of trouble this person will cause next year.
"I have assigned an undercover agent to the Eighteenth Army Group. If everything goes well, he will be able to access some important information about the Eighteenth Army Headquarters during the Chinese New Year." Yamamoto Kazuki was confident.
In the TV series "Bright Sword", Yamamoto Kazuki accurately targeted the headquarters of the 18th Army in Daxia Bay. This did not rely entirely on telecommunications detection technology.
But Yamamoto Kazuki had an internal response, and the internal response provided important clues.
Later, the deputy commander-in-chief moved the location of the headquarters from Daxia Bay to Chenjiayu, and was found by Yamamoto Kazuki again.
In this aspect, in addition to telecommunications detection, the insider once again provided clues.
"Yoshi!" Shinozuka Yoshio heard this and a smile appeared on his face: "Yamamoto-kun, then I will wait for your good news."
It is not an easy task to place an undercover agent with the Eighteenth Army.
Yamamoto Kazuki is worthy of being a top student sent by the empire to study in country D.
"Yamamoto will not disappoint the general!" Yamamoto Kazuki said sonorously.
Jingle Bell!
The phone on the table suddenly rang rapidly, and Yoshio Shinozuka picked up the phone: "I'm Yoshio Shinozuka..."
"What, what are you talking about? The fourth brigade was attacked by the Eighth Route New Regiment. Hirakabi Yongfu was shattered!" Yoshio Shinozuka quickly exclaimed, "The Eighth Route New Regiment's strength has reached six or seven. Thousands of people!”
"Baga, this damn Eighth Route New Group is simply looking for death!" Yoshio Shinozuka approved the support operations of the 9th Brigade and the 14th Brigade, put the phone on the shelf, and cursed : "If his Eighth Route New Regiment doesn't want my First Army to have a good time this year, then he won't have a good time either!"
"General, then I will continue my work." Yamamoto Kazuki said goodbye knowingly. This kind of security warfare behind enemy lines was not his category.
"Here comes someone." Yamamoto Kazuki resigned, and Shinozuka Yoshio called someone.
"General, what are your orders?" Morishan Otani hurried over.
Moriyama Otani is the deputy director of the copper smelting factory and has also taken up the post of staff officer at the headquarters. He happens to be here today.
"The new regiment under the 386th Brigade of the 129th Division of the 18th Group Army is currently causing trouble in the defense area of the 4th Brigade. Hirakabi Yuuo has been shattered." Shinozuka Yoshio was furious, "Go and pass on my order immediately. Order the 10th and 16th Brigades to immediately mobilize troops and cooperate with the 9th and 14th Brigades to encircle and suppress this new regiment. You must completely eliminate him before the Chinese New Year!"
Originally, Yoshio Shinozuka did not want to go into such a big fight.
The 4th Brigade, 9th Brigade, 10th Brigade, 14th Brigade and 16th Brigade had just withdrawn from the frontal battlefield and were in emergency recuperation.
After the Chinese New Year, these main forces will have to go to the frontal battlefield.
But now, the new regiment of the 18th Group Army is so provocative and rampant. Since the new regiment wants to die, then destroy it!
Otherwise, do you really think that our first army has no one left?
Upon hearing this, Moriyama Otani's expression became solemn: "General, our army has a military column transporting important machinery. It will soon pass through the defense area of the 4th Brigade. Do you want to suspend this military column?"
This military train also transported machinery to the copper smelting plant, so Moriyama Otani also knew this information.
"Let the military column speed up and pass through the fourth brigade defense area." Yoshio Shinozuka thought for a while and said.
He could foresee that if they did not seize the time to transport important machinery, the Eighth Route New Regiment might destroy the Zhengtai Line railway traffic in the Fourth Brigade's defense area.
At that time, once the railway is interrupted, the machine will be delayed.
The frontal battlefield requires a large amount of ammunition, so machines were transferred from Fengtian Arsenal to increase the production volume of Taiyuan Arsenal.
Therefore, Yoshio Shinozuka is also scrambling for time to produce enough ammunition before the main force is deployed to the frontal battlefield again.
"Yes!" Moriyama Otani went immediately.
"Damn the Eighth Route Army, you clown, I don't believe it. I mobilized four brigades, but I can't deal with you!" Shinozuka Yoshio slammed his fist on the table!
…
Taiyuan Arsenal
Zhong Ze, who replaced Wu Ze, is planning to bring in a new batch of scrap metal.
If you want to imitate Wu Ze and get out the machine parts from the arsenal, your books must also be balanced.
For example, if a machine part weighs one hundred kilograms, then based on this situation, the iron smelted out by then should also weigh this much.
Zhong Ze had to use a hundred kilograms of scrap iron to make up for the weight.
Otherwise, just take out the machine parts every time without using scrap metal to make up for the weight. The weight of the smelted iron is decreasing day by day, and the holes are getting bigger and bigger, which will soon alert the Japanese.
"Director Zhong, the factory director asked you to come over." Someone came over to find Zhong Ze.
"Director, look for me." Zhong Ze came to Okamoto Jihei's office.
"How have you completed the preparations for the receiving machine?" Okamoto Tsupei looked at Zhong Ze with a smile.
Yesterday, Zhong Ze once again submitted a change in the design of light weapons, which was greatly appreciated by Ichiro Iwajima.
Okamoto Tsuhei is paying more and more attention to this important small arms design talent.
"It's almost there, it still needs a day." Zhong Ze replied.
"Hurry up, send someone to the platform one day in advance to transport the machine back." Okamoto Cihei said.
"Yes." Zhong Ze responded. In order to prevent Oka from getting suspicious this time, he didn't ask any more questions.
Although Zhong Ze didn't know why the Japanese wanted to receive the machine one day in advance, since it was an accident, no matter how big or small, he had to report it to Yinshan Mountain.
Zhong Ze walked out of Okamoto Jihei's office, and then found an opportunity to quickly pass the news to the boss's wife.
The landlady received the information from Zhong Ze and reported it immediately.
Eighteenth Army Headquarters
"Lao Peng, the news just came. After Yoshio Shinozuka learned about Li Yunlong's military operations in the 4th Brigade, he quickly transferred from the 9th Brigade, 10th Brigade, 14th Brigade and 16th Brigade. Heavy troops have been deployed to prepare to wipe out Li Yunlong before the Chinese New Year." The chief of general staff said to the deputy commander-in-chief.
"How many troops has Yoshio Shinozuka mobilized?" the deputy commander asked.
Asking Li Yunlong to pretend to loot the Fourth Brigade and coincidentally force the Japanese troops to stop on the Shota Line, the deputy commander expected that Yoshio Shinozuka would be angered.
But I didn't expect that Yoshio Shinozuka, an old devil, would be so crazy that he would mobilize troops from four brigades.
These are the main forces that have been withdrawn from the frontal battlefield and are resting urgently.
After the Chinese New Year, we will continue to fight on the frontal battlefield.
Didn't Yoshio Shinozuka consider what he would do if all these troops were lost and there would be insufficient troops on the frontal battlefield next year?
"There are no specific figures yet, but based on a conservative estimate, the total number of Japanese soldiers must be at least seven or eight thousand." The chief of general staff said, "This is because all four brigades were damaged on the frontal battlefield. The troops they sent were discounted. Otherwise, they would be at full strength, and the number of Japanese soldiers must be at least 20,000."
"Even if Yoshio Shinozuka really sends out 20,000 Japanese soldiers, he still has to get the machine back!" the deputy commander said solemnly, "to generate electricity for Li Yunlong, even if he wipes out all the troops, he still has to get the machine back. This is the spark of our weapons production and our hopeful future!"
"Deputy Commander-in-Chief, Chief of General Staff, urgent message from Yinshan." At this time, a staff officer hurried over and handed over the newly arrived telegram.
The chief of general staff grabbed the emergency report and opened it. The content read: Taiyuan Arsenal received machinery from Fengtian Arsenal one day in advance.
"Lao Peng, take a look." The chief of general staff handed the urgent report to the deputy commander-in-chief.
The deputy commander took a look and immediately said: "Obviously, because Li Yunlong was causing trouble in the Fourth Brigade, Yoshio Shinozuka was worried that Li Yunlong would damage the Shota Line Railway and delay the transportation of machinery in the arsenal. Therefore, Yoshio Shinozuka The man must have speeded up the military column to pass through the fourth brigade defense zone."
"I will immediately send someone to generate electricity for Li Yunlong and ask him to hurry up." said the chief of general staff.
Since Li Yunlong wanted to loot the military columns and transport back the machines, the radio station previously seized in Pingan County was temporarily left with the New Regiment in case the military situation changed.
Now, orders from the headquarters can be transmitted directly to Li Yunlong through the radio.
"Tell Li Yunlong that I can't send support to him. No matter what the price, as long as he gets the machine back to me, I will immediately expand the establishment of the New Regiment into the New First Brigade, and he will be the brigade commander of the New First Brigade. !” the deputy commander said solemnly.
In front of them, just the strength of Li Yunlong's new regiment was exposed, and they immediately attracted the encirclement and suppression of Shinozuka Yoshio's four Japs brigades.
If the deputy commander-in-chief sends more troops to support Li Yunlong, the hidden strength of the 18th Group Army will be exposed.
Once Yoshio Shinozuka knows the true strength of the 18th Army in advance, the deputy commander-in-chief can predict it.
Shinozuka Yoshio will definitely ask for help from Okamura Jining, mobilize troops from the North China Expedition Army, and immediately launch a bloody encirclement and suppression of the 18th Group Army.
At that time, let alone the deputy commander-in-chief's large-scale raid, it would go bankrupt.
The Eighteenth Group Army will also fall into the abyss, with no chance of turning around.
Therefore, even though the deputy commander-in-chief really wanted to send support to Li Yunlong, he could not do so for the sake of the overall situation of the 18th Group Army.
"The Japs are encircling and suppressing several brigades, and Li Yunlong is under too much pressure." The chief of general staff suggested, "How about contacting Brigadier Chen. After receiving Wu Ze, maybe Wu Ze can help."
It can be seen from Wu Ze's previous strategies that he is extremely good at defeating more with less.
This time, maybe he can help Li Yunlong.
"Okay." The deputy commander nodded, and the chief of general staff went quickly.
The deputy commander's eyes fell on the map. The words of the chief of general staff just now also reminded him.
Wu Ze is a strategic-level talent, and he made the military plan to seize the machine.
So it was impossible for Wu Ze to fail to respond to the Japanese reinforcements.
Perhaps Wu Ze had already made plans on how to deal with the reinforcements from the four Japanese brigades.
The deputy commander-in-chief also had to think carefully about it. If Wu Ze really planned the strategy in advance, then what exactly was the content of the strategy!
