new brigade
"Brigadier, the wind is a bit cold." Zhang Dabiao came to Li Yunlong's side and said.
"It's not a snowstorm, what are you afraid of?" Li Yunlong said calmly.
"Brigade commander, we are going out to fight the Japanese, but why don't we move towards the three Japanese divisions?" Yang Dali also came over and asked.
"As soon as we came out of the mountain, the Japanese were alerted. Why are we going to the three divisions now? They are already prepared." Li Yunlong shook his head, "I have already sent the second regiment to arrange it. We will do it for the time being. Just wait here."
"Brigadier, what specific arrangements did you ask the Second Regiment to make?" Yang Dali asked.
"Don't ask about this. Anyway, recharge your batteries now and wait here. I hope..." After Li Yunlong said this, he paused, stretched out his hand to catch the snowflakes falling from the sky, and continued: "I hope..." Don’t let there be a blizzard.”
Zhang Dabiao was puzzled: "Brigadier, there is a snowstorm, and the three Japanese divisions were dealt with by God. Isn't this good?"
"Yes, brigade commander, if there is a snowstorm, we don't have to fight with three Japanese divisions..." Yang Dali also agreed, but before he could finish his words, Li Yunlong interrupted: "The main target of our coming out is not the three Japanese divisions..." ah."
"Brigadier, aren't we going to help the Jinsui Army build three Japanese divisions?" Zhang Dabiao was suspicious.
"Help, you don't have to pull the troops over. There are many ways to assist." Li Yunlong calmly pointed to the two bridges on the map: "For example, we can blow up these two bridges, and three divisions The Japanese soldiers' escape route has been cut off and they cannot go home, so why don't they still support the Jinsui Army?"
"Brigadier, cut off the retreat of the three Japanese divisions. I'm afraid the Jinsui Army won't be able to destroy the Japanese by then, right?" Zhang Dabiao was suspicious.
"No." Li Yunlong shook his head, "I dare say that the Japanese soldiers of these three divisions must be in trouble now. The Jinsui Army will kill the Japanese soldiers of the three divisions after they have suffered heavy losses. them."
"Brigadier Commander, if the Jinsui Army eats up the Japs from these three divisions, wouldn't we be able to catch even a hair out of them?" Yang Dali said.
"Silly boy, if I don't have a fortune, why do you think I would bring you out when I have nothing to do?" Li Yunlong said to Yang Dali, "The three divisions are in trouble, and Yoshio Shinozuka of Taiyuan will definitely send support. .”
"Brigadier, you asked the Second Regiment to make preparations. Is it to deal with reinforcements from Yoshio Shinozuka?" Zhang Dabiao thought thoughtfully.
Yang Dali said: "Brigadier, Taiyuan is a bit far away from three divisions. If the Japs send reinforcements, they will probably be mechanized troops. How can we make this fortune? The iron bastard of the Japs, that's not the case It’s easy to deal with.”
"Under normal circumstances, we will definitely not be able to defeat the mechanized troops of the Japs, but if we arrange them in advance, that may not be possible." Li Yunlong said very calmly, "Didn't you notice that when we came out, we brought a lot of explosives with us? , all assigned to the Second Regiment.”
"Brigadier, are you going to use an explosive array for the Japanese mechanized troops?" Yang Dali was very excited.
"That's right." Li Yunlong nodded, "His little devil's iron bastard is invulnerable and difficult to hit, but as long as we bury enough explosives, we can kill the little devil's iron bastard."
"Brigadier, after killing the little devil's iron bastard, what are we going to do next?" Yang Dali asked.
"We got the little Japs' iron bastard, and then we went over to see the three Jaap divisions. Wu Ze judged that their heavy artillery unit must be far behind and stuck in the snow and mud. We have to..." Li Yunlong said Not finished yet.
Yang Dali said in surprise: "Hahaha, let's intercept the heavy artillery and take it back to celebrate the New Year?"
"Pull you with a hammer!" Li Yunlong hit Yang Dali and cursed: "Even the devil can't pull this thing back, how can you pull it back?"
"Then, what should we do? We can't blow it up, right?" Yang Dali touched his head, "Or dismantle it and take it back."
Zhang Dabiao interrupted: "I'm afraid not, I'm afraid the Jinsui Army won't agree."
"You must remember what we looked like when we came out, and what we should look like when we go back. We cannot have heavy artillery parts in our hands." Li Yunlong said seriously, "Otherwise, the Jinsui Army will ask for it again. It’s unclear to us. Damn it, I obviously didn’t rob those machine tools in Hecun Arsenal, but the Jinsui Army insists on saying that I robbed them. The Jinsui Army is unreasonable. This time we must not fall into the trap. "
"Brigadier, I still don't quite understand what you mean. If you intercept this heavy artillery baggage and dismantle it, and you won't take it back, and you won't give it to the Jinsui Army, then you are..." Yang Dali didn't finish his words.
Li Yunlong yawned: "Can't we find a place to hide it? When the storm is over, we can find an opportunity to dig it out and take it back..."
Zhang Dabiao and Yang Dali both shouted in surprise: "Hahaha, brigade commander, this is a good idea. We won't cause a lawsuit with the Jinsui Army."
"What can I do? Did I just say something?" Li Yunlong asked the two of them seriously, as if he really hadn't said anything just now.
"No, brigade commander, you just yawned, you didn't say anything." Yang Dali and Zhang Dabiao both said in unison.
"Really, I didn't say anything?" Li Yunlong didn't believe it.
"Brigadier, what are you going to say? How can we not hear it!" Zhang Dabiao and Yang Dali said in unison again.
"It's okay if I didn't say it." Li Yunlong yawned again and said, "It's getting dark. We, Old Li, are sleepy and have to go to bed. If anyone from the second regiment comes back, call me immediately. "
"Okay, okay, Brigadier."
…
Taiyuan First Army Headquarters
"General, it's getting dark and the wind is picking up." Moriyama Otani said in a bad tone.
"As long as Hirono Kitamura and the others survive this night and tomorrow's airdrop arrives, they can come back to life." Shinozuka Yoshio tried his best not to let his voice tremble when he spoke.
Although he said this, he deeply understood that it was not easy for the emperor's soldiers of the three divisions to survive this cold night, especially when it was windy.
Not to mention frostbite and wet pants and wet shoes, it is not easy for even a normal person to survive the night wearing a thick cotton-padded jacket in the wild.
Also, don't let it snow.
If there is a snowstorm at night, the determination of the emperor's soldiers in the three divisions will be at stake.
"Yes, as long as they survive this night and get the airdrop tomorrow, they can come back to life." Moriyama Otani nodded, knowingly not mentioning whether there would be a snowstorm.
"General, the intelligence department sent urgent information. They found traces of the activities of the 18th Army." At this time, a staff officer quickly came over and handed Shinozuka Yoshio the newly arrived information.
Found traces of the activities of the 18th Army?
Upon hearing this, Yoshio Shinozuka quickly took it solemnly.
Hirono Kitamura and his three divisions are now struggling in a difficult situation. At this time, it is particularly important to find traces of the troops coming out of the 18th Army.
Fortunately, this time the bunch of losers in the intelligence department were pretty good and they didn't disappoint.
Taking a look at the intelligence under his nose, Yoshio Shinozuka immediately frowned: "Baga, is there only one regiment from the 18th Army?"
Moriyama Otani looked over and frowned: "General, logically speaking, it shouldn't be the case. There is only one regiment of the 18th Army, what can it do?"
"Never underestimate the enemy of a regiment." Yoshio Shinozuka became cautious, "The Battle of Wang'er Mountain was also a regiment, but we lost 20,000 people. This regiment, what a loss Look where it’s placed.”
Yoshio Shinozuka quickly marked the group's location on the map, and soon broke out in a cold sweat: "Baga, the situation is not good."
"General, these Eighth Route Army must want to blow up these two bridges. When the time comes, Guangye Kitamura and his three divisions want to withdraw. Without the bridge, they will not be able to come back in a short time. The injured cannot be treated in time, and they will be If the Sui Army bites, the situation will be critical." Morishan Otani also saw it, "Although Tubal Road has not many troops, this move is a killer move."
"Where are our mechanized troops now?" Yoshio Shinozuka asked quickly.
"Here." Moriyama Otani immediately pointed it out to Shinozuka Yoshio. It was still a hundred and twenty miles away from the two bridges.
"Where is the regiment deployed from Taiyuan?"
"Here." Moriyama Otani pointed out again that the infantry regiment did not set off with the mechanized troops, so it was now further away from the two bridges, almost two hundred miles away.
"Immediately generate electricity for the mechanized troops, and ask them to speed up immediately, reach the two bridges before Tubal Road, and save the two bridges." Shinozuka Yoshio said immediately, "The infantry regiment seizes the time to march over for reinforcements. We will definitely Save both bridges!”
Hirono Kitamura has received air investment resources. Even if they want to evacuate, they will not be able to reach these two bridges immediately.
They still had to march for at least three days.
After all, they have two legs, they have to carry a large number of wounded and frozen soldiers, and their speed is even slower.
"Hai!" Moriyama Otani hurried away.
"Despicable Tobali, don't even think about cutting off Hirono Kitamura's retreat!" Shinozuka Yoshio slammed his fist on the table.
One hundred and twenty miles away, the mechanized troops can arrive in two to three hours.
…
"Brigade commander, the second regiment commander is back." Li Yunlong had only slept for an hour when Yang Dali came over and woke him up.
"Brigadier, according to your instructions, the work has been completed." The second regiment commander saluted Li Yunlong.
"Yes." Li Yunlong nodded and said to the leader of the second regiment, "After you are done, take a good rest and sleep. It's cold tonight, and the brothers of the second regiment have worked hard."
"Brigadier, why don't we go and guard the two bridges?" The second regiment commander was still a little uneasy, "Aren't you worried about the Japs' mechanized troops..."
Before the second regiment leader finished speaking, Li Yunlong interrupted: "Don't be afraid, as long as he enters the formation, he will definitely be defeated. At dawn, it won't be too late for us to go to the two bridges."
"Brigadier, okay, I'll rest first." The second regiment commander didn't say anything anymore. After all, the explosive array he arranged according to the regiment commander's instructions, once the Japs' mechanized troops entered and wanted to come out, there was no way they could come out. Really...unless there's a miracle.
The size of the Japanese mechanized force is not large, with eight light tanks and four medium tanks, totaling twelve tanks.
In terms of quantity, Shinozuka Yoshio's mechanized troops are not large in number, and they don't even have armored vehicles.
There was no way, this was snow and mud, and the armored vehicle's wheels would get stuck in, making it impossible to move, so we had to drive the tank.
The Japanese army is a country with poor resources. Most of its oil and mineral resources are used by the navy to build large ships, and the army's share is very small.
Therefore, the army does not build many weapons such as tanks, which consume a lot of steel.
Of course, even if the Japanese army didn't make many, they still defeated the principal's troops.
There was no way. The Chinese army, which was industrially backward, was basically defeated when faced with the mechanized troops of the Japanese army.
Therefore, even if this mechanized force only has twelve tanks, they are still confident. The tank commander accelerated even more after receiving the order from Shinozuka Yoshio.
boom!
It wasn't until there was a huge explosion in the dark night and a medium tank was knocked upside down that the entire mechanized force came to an emergency stop.
"alert!"
The tank commander quickly ordered the remaining eleven tanks to set up defenses. The eleven tanks quickly set up defenses, fired flares, and fired tank machine guns at suspicious locations in all directions.
Da da da!
Da da da!
Da da da!
…
In the dark night, there was no sound except the rattling of tank machine guns. It was very quiet...oh no, there was also the sound of the wind.
But the wind picked up, sending chills down the tank commander's spine.
There was no sign of the enemy, but a tank was blown up. The enemy must still be hiding in the dark. Maybe they were holding explosive bags in their arms, or maybe they were still holding ropes in their hands until the tank drove close to the bomb. , the rope will be pulled hard, and a new explosion will sound.
The machine gun fire on the tank stopped after a while. There was only the sound of wind in the wilderness, and no trace of the enemy was found.
The overturned tank was very quiet, and there was no movement of any wounded soldiers. It was obvious that when the shock wave of the explosion overturned the tank, it must have also killed the soldiers inside the tank.
"Go and have a look." The tank commander still sent two Japanese soldiers to check the status of the flip tank.
The two Japanese soldiers approached cautiously and checked carefully with a flashlight. The tank was in a miserable state, and the bodies were bleeding from all the orifices. They had obviously been shocked to death.
"Colonel, they are all dead." The two Japanese soldiers came back and reported to the tank commander.
"Baga!" the tank commander cursed, and then said: "Ignore it for now, seize the time and set off immediately. You must occupy the two bridges before the Eighth Route, otherwise the three divisions of the Emperor's soldiers will be cut off. That would be dangerous."
"Colonel, aren't you worried about the bombs on the road ahead?" the adjutant reminded the tank commander in a low voice.
"Of course I'm worried, but should we go back now or stay where we are?" the tank commander turned to the adjutant.
The adjutant was silent. They had received a death order and must seize two bridges as early as possible before the Eighth Route Army to prevent the Eighth Route Army from cutting off the retreat of the three divisions.
"Don't worry, Tubal Road is poor. Such bombs look like a big deal. They don't have that many bombs." The tank commander comforted, "Maybe this is just a suspicion formation they set up. Let's not scare ourselves."
"Ha Yi, Colonel, you are right!" The adjutant nodded.
Just like that, the eleven tanks immediately set off again.
It seems that the companion who was overturned just now did not affect their morale at all.
Until the same thing happens again.
boom!
A huge flash occurred in the darkness, and under the light of the flash, another medium-sized tank was blown into a clamshell.
The remaining ten tanks immediately braked urgently.
Similar to the situation just now, flares hit the sky, illuminating the dark night, and the machine guns on the tanks hurriedly fired at suspicious locations in all directions.
Da da da!
Da da da!
Da da da!
…
The machine gun spit out long tongues of fire, and bullets poured in all directions crazily.
Just like before, there was no response or movement at all from all directions, and not a single hair of the enemy was found.
Except for the sound of the wind, it was very quiet.
It was as if the explosion just now was caused by ghosts.
"Baga, you despicable Chinese people, you have the guts to come out!" Looking at the second flip-up tank, the tank commander went crazy.
On the frontal battlefield, the Chinese regular army wanted to blow up a tank. The death squads holding explosive bags didn't know how many people would die.
But in front of me, I didn't even see a hair on the enemy, and two tanks were destroyed, and they were all medium tanks. This is really maddening.
The tank commander roared several times, and everything was quiet. Except for the sound of the wind, there was no response.
After having someone check the second clamshell tank and finding that the situation was the same as the first one, the tank commander ordered to move on: "Baga, I don't believe it anymore, they still have bombs!"
The adjutant said nothing this time.
After all, they received a death order and had to go for reinforcements. That would be the escape route for the emperor's soldiers from three divisions.
Of course, the adjutant still had luck in his heart.
Perhaps Tubalu only built two bombs and not a third one.
boom!
It wasn't until the third explosion sounded and another medium tank was destroyed that the luck in the adjutant's heart finally disappeared and was replaced by fear.
Damn Tubal, how many bombs have they built? !
The scene was exactly the same as the previous two times. Flares were fired into the sky, and the machine guns on the remaining nine tanks fired wildly in all directions.
This time, the machine-gun fire lasted longer than on the previous two occasions.
The Japs machine gunner seemed to regard the darkness around him as the enemy, and the hand that pulled the trigger seemed to be rusty, and he did not relax at all.
At this moment, it seems that the Guizi country is no longer a small country with insufficient resources, but a large frontier country with great wealth.
Da da da!
Da da da!
Da da da!
…
Machine gun bullets were fired like they were free.
