Chapter 296 Have a Fat Year!

"Let's go back to the regiment department and talk about it in detail."

Zhao Gang looked around, and then said to Li Yunlong.

"Okay." Li Yunlong said, "Then go back to the regiment headquarters and talk."

The two quickened their pace and walked towards the regiment headquarters.

"salute!"

At the gate of the regiment, two sentinel soldiers from the guard company leaned on bayonet-mounted rifles, put their left palms inward and their forearms parallel to their shoulders in front of their chests, and saluted Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang.

The two returned the salute and then stepped into the inner room of the regiment headquarters.

Sitting cross-legged on the kang, Zhao Gang said: "Brother Chen got the information that the first batch of ammunition supplies to the Shanxi devils from the Japanese army base camp is a total of 3 military trains, and each train is full of 1 tons of supplies. One arrived at Shimen Railway Station, and the other two are still in Baoding."

Hearing this, Li Yunlong couldn't help but licked his lips with hot eyes.

This is 3 tons of weapons, ammunition and supplies!
If all 3 tons of weapons and ammunition are obtained, the entire Eighth Route Army will make a fortune.

It is not difficult to support the Eighth Route Army for another Hundred Regiments War.

Zhao Gang continued: "The reason why these three military trains are still parked in Baoding and Shimen City is because the Zhengtai Railway has not been repaired. After the Zhengtai Railway is repaired and opened to traffic, these three military trains will be along the Zhengtai Railway. Ship all the weapons, ammunition and military columns to Taiyuan."

Li Datuan's tone was not good:

"Damn it, why do little devils get rich, and our Eighth Route Army drinks northwest wind?"

"I didn't say anything, I opened this road and planted this tree, if you want to live here, you can buy road money."

"Because the devils don't have time to repair strongholds and gun towers, let's rob on the Zhengtai Railway."

"By the way, the information said that the devil has any precautions?"

Although he really wanted to be his mother's vote, Li Yunlong's mind was very calm, and it was not so easy to rob the devil's army.

The little devil will never give up this batch of weapons and ammunition to Eighth Road, and will definitely be on guard.

Li Yunlong dared to show his sword in battle, but he never fought a battle without brains, and he never played in a daze.

"The devils are very prepared this time." Zhao Gang's tone was a little dignified: "Each military column is escorted by a Type [-] armored train."

"Look, Lao Li, it's the armored train that was destroyed by our Shanpao Battalion in Niangziguan last time."

Zhao Gang handed Li Yunlong a photo, although it was a bit blurry and black and white, but Li Yunlong recognized it at a glance.

This Devil armored train is armed to the teeth, not only with heavy machine guns, but also with large-caliber heavy artillery.

If the new regiment didn't have mountain cannons and enough shells, they wouldn't dare to provoke this devil's armored train.

"In addition, the devils also provided an escort of an infantry brigade for the military column transporting supplies."

"This is not the most outrageous thing. The most outrageous thing is that the devils put 2 infantry regiments and 2 infantry brigades, a total of 18 infantry brigades, in units of brigades from Jingxing Railway Station to Yuci Railway Station, every 10 kilometers Stationed on the Zhengtai Railway, and there will be two Japanese squads patrolling along the railway every half an hour."

Not only Zhao Gang's expression was a bit dignified, but even Li Yunlong's expression became a bit dignified.

There is an infantry brigade stationed every 10 kilometers, which is much stronger than the defense of a stronghold or a gun tower every 1 kilometers on both sides.

After all, the devils in the gun towers and strongholds are too scattered, but this time the devils' forces are very concentrated.

"The devil's defense this time is indeed quite strong." Li Yunlong nodded and said.

Zhao Gang said: "When a certain point is attacked, at least two infantry brigades nearby can arrive within half an hour."

"Moreover, the devils can also use trains to transport a large number of devils to the attacked location along the railway."

"Within two hours, at least four regiments of devils could arrive for reinforcements."

"The devils use trains to transport troops, so there is no need to worry too much about that." Li Yunlong pondered, "If you really want to rob the military columns, just send troops to blow up the railway."

"Even if the devils can't use the train to transport troops, at least two infantry regiments will arrive within two hours."

Zhao Gang said: "And within 2 hours, we definitely can't end the battle, and then leave with 1 tons of weapons and ammunition."

"We can think of a way to do this." Li Yunlong mused, "The most important thing now is to find out when the devil's army will depart from Baoding or Shimen City."

"You have to know the exact time when the military column entered Shanxi before you can do it, otherwise everything will be empty talk."

"I'm afraid we have to find a way by ourselves." Zhao Gang said with a wry smile, "Information says that brother Chen can't provide us with the specific time for the departure of the military train, because when the devil's military train departs, the devil's headquarters will make a temporary decision. The decision will not be determined in advance, so it is basically impossible to know the departure time in advance."

"However, what is certain is that the devil's army column transporting ammunition and supplies must leave Baoding or Shimen City for Taiyuan after the Zhengtai Railway resumes traffic."

"According to Brother Chen's information, the Zhengtai Railway will resume operation in about 13 days."

"13 days?" Li Yunlong narrowed his eyes, "It's at least half a year faster than we thought."

"Yes." Zhao Gang agreed, "The devil's speed of repairing the railway is indeed beyond our imagination."

"However, Brother Chen provided us with detailed information and detailed maps of the defense of the Japanese and puppet troops in Jingxing County and Shimen City."

"Including all the observation posts in the villages and towns near these two places, as well as the Japanese and puppet patrols, there are detailed intelligence."

"With these two items, our Sword Squadron can successfully infiltrate the vicinity of Jingxing Railway Station and Shimen City Railway Station."

"Really?" Li Yunlong's expression lifted, and then he was slightly happy, so that his special forces could better complete the task.

As long as you keep an eye on these two places, the devil's army column transporting ammunition and supplies will not be able to escape.

After a pause, Li Yunlong said again: "This batch of ammunition and supplies is not something our new regiment can eat. We have to invite the brigade commander and division commander to eat together. If everything goes well, our Eighth Route Army will have a good year this year." .”

Now Li Yunlong went through all the materials, and Zhao Gang answered him one by one if he didn't understand or didn't know the words.

After familiarizing himself with all the information, Li Yunlong left defense information and maps of Jingxing County, Shimen City and its vicinity.

He first called the brigade headquarters and told the brigade commander that he would report an important situation to the brigade commander himself, and then he rode to the brigade headquarters with information and guards.

……

Eighth Route Army Headquarters.

The chief of staff is reporting to the boss.

"According to the information from various places, the Japanese army sent 2 brigades and 2 regiments of troops."

"Using the brigade as a unit, it is distributed on the Zhengtai Railway from Jingxing County to Yuci. The rule is that an infantry brigade is stationed every 10 kilometers."

"And, every half hour, there are at least two teams patrolling along the 2-kilometer railway line."

The chief of staff has asked the combat staff to draw all the places where each devil brigade is stationed on the map with red circles.

And each red circle is marked with the devil's troop number.

The boss stared at the map and frowned slightly: "Have you found out the intention of the Japanese army to do this?"

Although the information from the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army can figure out the location and number of each devil brigade stationed, but at this time, the headquarters of the first army has not released the wind.

And this batch of materials was top-secret information of the Japanese army, and even Kazuki Yamamoto and Yoshio Shinozuka didn't know about it except for the communications staff.

Therefore, the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army has not yet found out why the Japanese army deployed its troops in this way.

"For the time being, we haven't found out the real intention of the Japanese army to deploy troops like this," said the chief of staff.

"It's really strange." The boss frowned slightly, "What is the devil trying to do?"

Master Liu on the side also pushed his glasses, and said in a puzzled tone: "From the map, it looks like the devils are protecting the entire Zhengtai Railway. Could it be that some important person is coming?"

"Such a big battle, it looks like the emperor is coming." The boss laughed, "It can't be that the emperor of Little Japan is coming?"

"Boss, don't tell me." The teacher also laughed, "This 2nd Guards Division, the guards of the little devil emperor are here, and it is not unusual for their emperor to come to Shanxi."

The chief of staff knew that the boss and the teacher were joking. How could the emperor of Japan come to this remote place in Shanxi?
If you want to come, you must come by plane, not by train.

The chief of staff laughed and said: "When Chen Geng usually educated his subordinates, he often liked to say, 'Even if the emperor's guard came, he would have to choke him to death one by one in the cesspit', now the emperor's guard really came , let's just sit and watch Chen Geng choke the emperor's guards to death in the cesspit."

"However, Li Yunlong is very enthusiastic." The boss smiled, "As soon as the emperor's guard entered Shanxi, he gave them a big gift."

"report!"

At this moment, a voice sounded outside the door. This voice was familiar to several leaders, and it was Chen Geng.

"Say Cao Cao Cao Cao will be there." The boss smiled and said, "Come in!"

The boss and the other two chiefs turned around and looked. Brigadier Chen stepped in, followed by Li Yunlong, who held a stack of thick paper in his hands.

"Two Cao Caos are here." Seeing that Li Yunlong was following behind, the teacher immediately laughed.

Brigadier Chen and Li Yunlong walked up to the three chiefs, raised their hands and gave two military salutes.

After the three chiefs returned the salute, the brigade commander asked with a smile: "Sir, how can there be two Cao Caos?"

"It's about you and Li Yunlong." The chief of staff laughed, "We are talking about the two of you, and you two have come to the headquarters."

After a pause, the chief of staff asked, "It's so late, do you have any important reports?"

Unless it is a more important situation, it can be reported to the headquarters by phone or telegram.

Seeing that Brigadier Chen and Li Yunlong came to the headquarters together so late, there must be important information to report to the headquarters.

"The chief is really good at predicting things." Brigadier Chen said, "Li Yunlong and I do have important information to report. Li Yunlong, report the situation you have to the chief."

"Yes, Brigadier!"

Immediately, Li Yunlong reported the information Chen Feng gave him to the three chiefs.

Finally, Li Yunlong licked his lips and said, "My special forces will stare at the two train stations in Shimen City and Jingxing County to find out which train is the military train transporting ammunition and supplies."

"Boss, chief of staff, and division commander, as long as we successfully rob even a Japanese column, our Eighth Route Army will have a big and fat year this year."

"Fuck him son of a bitch!" The boss exuded courage and strategy from the inside out, and his tone was still domineering: "Go and grab it, even if you can't grab it, I will blow up the devil's army column transporting ammunition and supplies! "
