In the late autumn morning, everything in the valley is still immersed in dreams.
The sun was obscured by the mountains, revealing only a faint halo.
The breeze is blowing, carrying the smell of earth and moisture, making this morning more fresh and pleasant
There was a faint glimmer in the control, and Li Yunlong's convoy finally arrived at the mission location after an arduous journey.
After seeing Li Yunlong's convoy, about a squad of soldiers came out of their hiding spots and saluted Li Yunlong.
Li Yunlong was happy to see this soldier. After returning the gift, he said with a smile, "Platoon Leader Zhao, we meet again!"
Zhao Shuquan also smiled and said, "The brigade commander sent me here specially. He was afraid that if he sent a stranger you didn't know, he would not deliver the goods."
"Haha~" Li Yunlong didn't care about Zhao Shuquan's attitude, and it sounded like what the brigade commander said.
Without any polite greetings, Li Yunlong took Zhao Shuquan directly and began to count the supplies.
After a rough inventory, Li Yunlong handed over a pile of documents, "This was collected in this ambush. Give it to the brigade headquarters for me and see if it is of any use!"
Zhao Shuquan took the document and saluted Li Yunlong, "Salute to Commander Li for the bombardment of Taiyuan City!"
After Li Yunlong returned the gift, he said with a mean smile, "Why, am I, Old Li, interested?"
"Awesome! The brigade commander was so angry that he smashed the phone!"
Li Yunlong laughed even harder when he heard this, "Did he say that he would be promoted?"
"The brigade commander has said that he will make a report right away. He quits his job as brigade commander and asked you to take over. Maybe after the new year, we can defeat Taiyuan."
"Haha~" Li Yunlong laughed and patted Shishu Quan on the shoulder, "Tell him that when he gets promoted, his position as brigade commander will be mine. Now that he has taken advantage of me, it will be mine sooner or later." of."
"Okay! I will tell you something for Captain Li!" Zhao Shuquan said and got into the car. After the vehicle started, he rolled down the window and said, "Captain Li, take care! You have caused too much trouble this time. , pay attention to safety! Don’t get caught by the Japanese.”
"Nonsense, who am I, Old Li? I will not be a prisoner even if I die."
.
Outside Taiyuan City, where Li Yunlong fired.
Matsushita Shingen, wearing a military uniform, was hoeing the ground with a command knife and was listening intently to his subordinates' reports on the situation.
It didn't take long for the subordinates to report back.
Then he turned up and behind him, and Yoshio Shinozuka repeated.
After hearing the report, Yoshio Shinozuka had no expression on his face, making it impossible to guess what he was thinking.
To be honest, Yoshio Shinozuka was bombed back.
They were still in Datong for a meeting. After receiving the telegram, they immediately arranged for a car and quickly returned to Taiyuan.
Along the way, the driver drove very fast and the road was so bumpy that his hemorrhoids burst.
In order to understand the situation as quickly as possible, he just hurriedly took medicine at the hospital and hurried to the scene of the incident.
After listening to the reports from several professionals, he pondered for a moment and asked, "According to Colonel Matsushita's guess, the caliber of the heavy artillery used by the Eighth Route Army this time should be between 145-165?"
"That's right! I was in the hospital when I was bombarded. The first shell landed in the backyard of the hospital. It didn't explode at the time! Later, I had someone remove the fuse." Matsushita raised his eyebrows as he spoke, "This The warhead that fired the shells was not filled with powder, and was filled with equal weight of sand."
"Oh~" Shinozuka Yoshio raised his eyebrows slightly, flashing a light, "If that's the case, then this first shot is to correct the ballistics! Haha, I didn't expect that the Eighth Route Army's reputation as a benevolent and righteous army is really not an exaggeration. from."
After speaking, he raised his head, and then said with a wry smile, "Matsushita-kun, continue talking, what kinds of heavy artillery of this caliber are currently in service on the Chinese battlefield."
Panasonic thought for a while and named five or six types. He said the best, "Among the several types of heavy artillery, I prefer the 150MM mountain gun and the 165mm howitzer."
After saying that, he stood aside and waited for Yoshio Shinozuka's instructions.
Shinozuka Yoshio's orderly was thoughtful, and then whispered a few words into his ear.
After hearing the report from the serviceman, Yoshio Shinozuka immediately said, "Some time ago, the Linxian Transportation Brigade was attacked and suffered heavy losses. Among them were four 150mm mountain guns. The battle damage reported at the time was actually lost. It seems that these few The door cannon fell into the hands of the Eighth Route Army."
"That should be one of them!" Panasonic said firmly.
"The reason why the shelling was too far this time was also found." Yoshio Shinozuka said, "They were trying to rescue Dong Jinbao who had just undergone surgery."
"It turns out to be him, no wonder! It's worth it!" Matsushita Shingen agreed with Yoshio Shinozuka's statement.
When talking about Dong Jinbao, Yoshio Shinozuka had a rare wry smile on his face, and then he laughed at himself and said, "Hey, in the eyes of the Eighth Route Army, my majestic major general's headquarters is actually worth two artillery shells, and there are enough near the hospital. Twenty-five rounds!"
No one present dared to answer Yoshio Shinozuka's self-deprecation.
After about five minutes of silence, Matsushita Shingen said, "General Shinozuka, did you find that the Eighth Route Army's artillery fire was a little too accurate this time?"
"Indeed!" Shinozuka Yoshio agreed. "At the same time as the bombardment ended, Xiyang Street was robbed. The guild hall and the Black Dragon Club suffered heavy losses. If the headquarters security group had not been dispatched in time, they might not even have my The headquarters will all be robbed."
He still had a self-deprecating tone, and still no one spoke to him.
At this time, all these officers knew that if they said the wrong thing, they would definitely get into trouble.
After about a few minutes of silence, Shinozuka Yoshio said, "This time, I will not hold everyone accountable, but you should also check yourself and see where you have slacked off. Our majestic Royal Command unexpectedly We were suddenly bombarded without warning at all?"
As he spoke, Yoshio Shinozuka glanced at the officers present with his sharp eyes.
"If Dong Jinbao can catch me alive, I will catch him alive. If I can't catch him, I'll kill him! I can't use this kind of person to my advantage. Keeping him alive will make our enemies stronger and stronger."
"Hi!"
The officers agreed in unison, their voices were very loud and impressive!
"Very good!" Yoshio Shinozuka praised, "Also, the culprit of this shelling must be found, um. Let me give you a hint. The four cannons lost in Linxian County were the first to be contacted by the Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army. .”
"Hi!"
"Okay! Matsushita-kun get in the car with me, and everyone else should go back." After saying that, Yoshio Shinozuka got into the car with Matsushita Shingen and drove in the direction of Taiyuan.
On the way, it can really be said that there are three steps, one post, five steps and one sentry, tightly surrounding the enemy from too far to the artillery point.
If Li Yunlong had known that so many senior Japanese officers were present today, he would not have run so fast, and would have hit Yoshio Shinozuka's face with all the remaining shells. (End of chapter)
