I am helping

Chapter 425 Kazuki Yamamoto's ambition!

The battle ended a little faster than expected.

The devils and puppet troops on the city gate were first bombarded by a 105 howitzer battalion and a 75 mountain artillery battalion.

It was covered by mortar and infantry artillery fire.

Then it was fired flatly by machine guns, and dozens of firepower points were devastated in an instant.

The first battalion of the new regiment only charged from the west city gate, occupied the west city wall, and then entered the city smoothly.

Due to the devastating blow to the devil headquarters in the city, the devils who lost their unified command could only fight on their own.

At the same time, the feint attacking troops outside the north and south gates began to attack the city wall, and the Eighth Route Army who entered the city began to attack along the city wall.

At this time, only the east gate was not attacked.

The devils and puppet troops who had lost the courage to resist did not fight street battles with the Eighth Route Army, but broke through the east gate.

Fighting in the street is when there are reinforcements and a unified command, but in this situation, it is still a matter of whether there are reinforcements.

Without too much hesitation, the devils and the puppet army broke through the east gate and escaped.

This time, they fell into Li Yunlong's trap, and there was another fierce battle. The devils who were in a dilemma were killed in battle, and most of the puppet troops pretended to be dead and surrendered.

Before dawn, the battle was completely over.

When Li Yunlong entered the city, it was just dawn.

Zhang Dabiao and Zheng Yu, with M3 submachine guns hanging on their chests, followed closely behind Li Yunlong.

After the first batch of 300 M3 submachine guns were issued, some members of the Sword Squadron were also equipped.

However, most of the team members still use submachine guns such as MP40 and Bobosha.

After entering the city, Li Yunlong led the crowd to go straight to the ammunition warehouse and grain depot in the county seat.

The effort to capture the county seat was not only to earn Chen Feng's price, but also to capture the county seat and make a name for itself.

Zhang Dabiao followed behind, and said in a worried tone: "Commander, after we conquer this county, will we be able to occupy it? The little devil will let us occupy this county? Anhua and Ping'an are not important counties, but this Heyuan County, It's quite important."

"Who said I want to occupy it?" Li Yunlong said, "Isn't it the county seat, if the devil wants it, let the devil."

"Just give it up to the devil?" Zhang Dabiao suddenly felt a little bit reluctant, after all, this is the county that was finally captured.

"Don't be so short-sighted, kid."

Li Yunlong glanced at Zhang Dabiao, and said earnestly: "Don't be so concerned about the gains and losses of each city and place. Apart from grain depots and munitions warehouses, does this county have any other advantages?"

Zhang Dabiao thought about it carefully and said, "There are still ordinary people."

Li Yunlong said: "Think carefully."

Zhang Dabiao added: "There are also money and food from the traitor's family, tobacco factories, wineries, hospitals..."

"Think about it again?"

Second Battalion Commander Zheng Yu said: "Commander, what do you mean, after the devils occupy the county seat, we come to fight the county seat again, and we can earn a share of heavy artillery, anti-aircraft guns and food from Boss Chen?"

"Hey hey." Li Datuan said with a smile, "Second Battalion Commander's mind is turning very fast, that's right, that's what it means."

Hearing this, a meaningful smile appeared on the corner of Zhang Dabiao's mouth.

It turned out that the head of the regiment had this idea. With Xinyituan's current strength, this county town is the fat on Xinyituan's lips, and he can eat it whenever he wants.

When did the leader ever trade at a loss?
Zhang Dabiao muttered to himself.

"Big Biao!" Li Yunlong shouted.

"Yes!" Zhang Dabiao stepped forward to respond.

Li Yunlong quickly said: "Go and organize the common people and ask them if they are willing to leave the county. Those who are willing to leave can follow the Eighth Route Army. Those who are not willing to follow the Eighth Route Army will not be forced."

"Yes!" Zhang Dabiao turned and left.

"Zheng Yu!" Li Yunlong shouted again.

"Yes!" Second Battalion Commander Zheng Yu responded.

Li Yunlong took out a list from his pocket: "This list is full of traitors. According to this list, I will arrest all the traitors, hold a public trial, confiscate the property of the traitors, and shoot all the heinous ones!"

Don't look at dancing happily now, but be careful about making lists in the future.

The traitors rely on the power of the dog, usually relying on the evil power of the devils, bullying the common people, and even helping the devils deal with the guerrillas, now is the time to pull the list of traitors.

"Yes!" Zheng Yu grinned, turned and left with the list.

At this time, Li Yunlong was surrounded only by the guards, and the telegraph operator carrying the high-power walkie-talkies and low-power walkie-talkies, as well as the radio station.

Soon, Li Yunlong came to the munitions warehouse in the county seat.

The county seat is not big, and the ammunition warehouse is not far from the devil headquarters.

Seeing Li Yunlong, Lu Yingjun, holding an M3 submachine gun, greeted him: "Report to the commander, the arms warehouse and grain depot have been captured by the Sword Squadron."

Li Yunlong looked satisfied: "How about the casualties of your Sword Squadron?"

"Two people were slightly injured, and no one died." Lu Yingjun replied.

Li Yunlong's expression became more and more satisfied, and the work of the Sword Squadron became more and more beautiful.

Not only completed the beheading task, but also volunteered to take down the arms warehouse and grain depot.

Originally, the ammunition depot and grain depot were the tasks of one battalion and one company. After the first battalion attacked the city, the first company immediately stormed in along the street and took down the ammunition depot and grain depot.

However, the Sword Squadron might as well take down the munitions warehouse and grain depot by the way, to prevent the devils and puppet soldiers from jumping over the wall in a hurry and destroying the munitions depot and grain depot.

When Taiyuan was attacked, the devils ordered the destruction of the ammunition warehouses and grain depots, otherwise the Eighth Route Army could make a fortune.

"Lu Yingjun, how many weapons and ammunition are there in the arsenal?" Li Yunlong asked.

"There are not many weapons, most of them are bullets and grenades. There must be two 10,000+ rounds of ammunition and more than 3000 grenades."

Lu Yingjun answered truthfully: "There are more than 20 catties of grain in the grain depot."

"So little?" The seizure was worse than Li Yunlong imagined.

But Li Yunlong thought about it again. It turned out that there were no Chinese troops in Northwest Shanxi that could threaten the county, so the devils did not have much ammunition and food reserves in the county.

This makes sense.

Unlike the counties and strongholds in southeast Shanxi, the devils and puppet troops usually stock up on ammunition and food for half a year in order to avoid being besieged by the Eighth Route Army for a long time.

Even the defense of the county seat is relatively lax. There are no fortifications such as machine gun forts and civil bunkers in the county seat of Southeast Shanxi, and there are only a few strongholds and gun towers outside the city.

There are no decent enemies, and even the defense is lax...

Li Yunlong narrowed his eyes, it seems that the 358th regiment of the Jinsui Army did not put enough pressure on the little devil.

The 358th regiment can't put pressure on the little devil, so I will give it to the new regiment in the future.

"Give me an order to move all the weapons, ammunition and food back to the base!"

Li Yunlong ordered loudly.

Behind him, the soldiers of the first battalion and the second battalion walked into the ammunition warehouse with a happy smile.

Soon, the militiamen and peasants from the base area also arrived and joined the queue of carrying arms and food.

Not long after, Zhao Gang and Wang Dehou also sent telegrams saying that Anhua County and Ping'an County had been captured.

……

"What did you say? In just one night, the Xinyi Regiment captured the three counties of Ping'an, Anhua and Heyuan?"

Dagushan, the headquarters of the 358th regiment of the Jinsui Army.

Early in the morning, after listening to Fang Ligong's report, Chu Yunfei's tone was unbelievable.

It has been some time since the 358th regiment arrived in Dagushan. Sometimes Chu Yunfei also wanted to regain one or two counties to make a name for himself and prove his ability.

But it is a pity that although the 358th regiment has 5000 people, it is still as difficult as ever to take down the county town heavily defended by the Japanese army.

Because among the various units of the Japanese army, once a certain point of the Japanese army is attacked, other troops will never sit idly by, but will reinforce them at all costs.

But Li Yunlong grasped the timing just right.

On the one hand, the headquarters of the Japanese First Army was killed, and the Japanese First Army was in a mess, and other Japanese troops could not reinforce it.

On the other hand, it is to directly attack the three counties. The devils in these three counties cannot protect themselves, let alone reinforcements.

As for the other counties occupied by the devils in Northwest Shanxi, they were basically in the defense zone of the New Second Regiment and the Independent Regiment. These two troops would definitely not allow the devils to reinforce them.

"Yes, regiment seat!" Fang Ligong said in shock, "The Eighth Route Army Xinyi Regiment has indeed occupied the three counties of Anhua, Ping'an and Heyuan."

"The speed of the action is creepy."

Then, Fang Ligong said again: "It seems that we have to re-evaluate the strength and combat effectiveness of the Eighth Route Army, especially the Xinyi Regiment."

Chu Yunfei also had his hands behind his back, worried.

It is a good thing for the country that the new regiment has such a strong combat effectiveness, but it is not a good thing for the Jinsui Army and the 358th regiment.

……

At the same time, Taiyuan.

Kuribayashi Tadamichi, Yamamoto Kazuki and others were stunned when they received the information.

"Li Yunlong..."

His face was stiff for a long time, Kazuki Yamamoto spit out three words slowly.

At this time, the Battle of Zhongtiaoshan was over, and Kazuki Yamamoto returned to Taiyuan with his special agent team.

In this Battle of Zhongtiaoshan, Yamamoto's secret service team made repeated military exploits and successfully attacked two military-level units of the Central Army, and even captured a division commander alive.

Just as Kazuki Yamamoto was immersed in the joy of victory, news suddenly came from behind that Taiyuan was attacked by the Eighth Route Army and that Commander Shinozuka Yoshio died for his country.

When Kazuki Yamamoto heard the news, he led the special agent team to rush back non-stop, but it was too late, and the Eighth Route Army had already finished fighting Taiyuan and retreated.

Now that Taiyuan has been breached by the Eighth Route Army and the First Army Command has been taken away, the new leadership of the First Army Command has not yet arrived.

It is said that the new commander of the First Army has already arrived in Peiping, but the new commander will not be able to fly to take office until the airport in Taiyuan is repaired.

Knowing that Li Yunlong had gone to Northwest Shanxi to continue to do things again, Kazuki Yamamoto's face twisted with anger when he heard Li Yunlong's name.

"General Lilin, please send troops to Northwest Shanxi immediately, and chop off Li Yunlong's head to avenge General Xiaozuka."

Taking a deep breath, Kazuki Yamamoto immediately suggested to Tadamichi Kuribayashi.

"Be safe, Yamamoto-kun."

"The duty of the First Cavalry Brigade is to protect Taiyuan. Now go to northwest Shanxi, what should the Eighth Route Army in southeast Shanxi do to attack Taiyuan again?"

In this matter, it is absolutely impossible for Major General Kuribayashi Chumichi to listen to the Colonel Yamamoto Kazuki.

Taking another deep breath, Kazuki Yamamoto suppressed the deep anger in his heart.

He suddenly realized that the troops in his hands were still too small, what could a special forces force of dozens of people do?He couldn't even avenge General Shinozuka.

Only by becoming a major general, lieutenant general, or even a general can one control more troops and accomplish greater things.

For example, chop off Li Yunlong's head to avenge General Shinozuka...

Turning around, Kazuki Yamamoto's eyes revealed a hint of ambition that Kuribayashi Tadao couldn't see.
