Chapter 577 Dignity is only above the sword's edge!

Peiping.

Iron Lion Alley.

North China Front Army Command.

Neiji Okamura, commander of the front army, and Seizo Arisue are playing chess in the office.

Since the frontline command sent a telegram in the morning, saying that the use of tunnels and reverse slope tactics successfully blocked the offensive of the new regiment, Ningji Okamura felt refreshed all over his body.

Neiji Okamura had a smile on his mouth when he was in good spirits on happy occasions, which showed that he was in a good mood at this time.

As long as the 10th Division can block the offensive of the Eighth Route Xinyi Regiment, the Locust Army will have a chance to wipe out the Xinyi Regiment and Li Yunlong.

Then, not only can those previous mistakes be written off, but he will also be rewarded by the base camp.

Li Yunlong caused a lot of damage to the empire. Even the locust knew that there was such a person, so Li Yunlong had to die.

"There are still hundreds of thousands of Chinese people in the bandit area of ​​the Eighth Route New Regiment."

"When the locust army from the four divisions encircles them, the hundreds of thousands of people will not be able to escape."

"It's a pity that the Chinese people in the two bandit areas of the New Second Regiment and the Independent Regiment ran away."

Okamura Ningji took a sip of Longjing tea, and then said slowly, his tone was indifferent.

After he took office as the commander of the North China Front Army, his policy was to strengthen law and order, massacre and Huairou policy.

To implement the policy of softening the Chinese people in the public security areas is to put it bluntly, to enslave the mind. In the enemy-occupied areas, Japanese language teaching is compulsory, so that the first generation of Chinese people will completely deviate from Chinese characters and Chinese culture, and become Japanese at the ideological level; As for non-security areas, the old devils implemented the three-all policy, that is, killing, burning, and looting.

This time, the Japanese army organized five divisions to attack Northwest Shanxi, and the devils strictly implemented the Sanguang Operation.

Originally thought that the Japanese army had 4 second-line divisions, plus 1 Type A division, and the Eighth Route Army, which defeated the three regiments, could be easily captured. I didn't expect the battle to turn out like this.

"What Your Excellency Commander said is absolutely true."

Yumo Jingsan echoed: "In the final analysis, Li Yunlong is too conceited. He thought that with the new regiment, he could easily defeat the 10th Division of the Locust Army. It is simply fantastic."

"Now not only the soldiers of the Xinyi Regiment were besieged, but even hundreds of thousands of Chinese people were surrounded by the locust army."

"If the Chinese people in the new group of bandits also cross the Yellow River to go to northern Shaanxi, then they can still avoid being slaughtered by the locust army."

"Speaking of which." Ningji Okamura said, "The combat effectiveness of the New First Regiment of the Eighth Route Army really impresses me. I estimate that the combat effectiveness of the New First Regiment of the Eighth Route Army is comparable to that of the Fifth Division."

Arisue Seizo was startled: "Your Excellency, Commander, can the fighting power of the Shinichi regiment be comparable to that of the Fifth Division? Isn't this a bit exaggerated? The Fifth Division is the steel army of the Empire of Japan."

"No, it's not an exaggeration at all." Ningji Okamura waved his hand, "If the new regiment continues to develop, its combat effectiveness will even be comparable to that of the first division of the Locust Army."

Youmo Jingsan said: "Fortunately, after this battle, even if the Xinyi Regiment was not completely wiped out, it would have been seriously injured. Let alone the first division of the Locust Army, it is estimated that even the infantry of a second-line division of the Locust Army No team can compare."

Okamura Ningji nodded, noncommittal.

Although Xinyituan has foreign aid channels.

But the strength of the new regiment lies not only in its powerful weapons and equipment, but also in the combat-experienced veterans and grassroots officers of the new regiment.

These veterans and grassroots officers followed Li Yunlong and won many battles in a few years. The grassroots officers had rich experience in commanding and fighting, and the veterans had extremely high combat literacy.

The more victorious battles fought, the more combat-experienced veterans survived, and the stronger their combat effectiveness.

The Xinyi Regiment is such a force.

In other Chinese troops fighting the Japanese army, the number of casualties is often several times that of the Japanese army.

However, when the Xinyi Regiment of the Eighth Route Army fought against the Japanese army, the number of casualties of the Japanese army was several times that of the Xinyi Regiment, and the morale of the Xinyi Regiment far exceeded that of other Chinese troops.

"Your Excellency, Commander." Seizo Arisue continued, "My suggestion is, after Li Yunlong and the Shinichidan are settled."

"These five divisions took a few months to replenish and rest. We will gather these five divisions and the First Army with nearly 20 troops to eliminate the main force of the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army in southeast Shanxi."

"According to intelligence, the arsenal of the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army in southeast Shanxi has already formed a relatively large scale,"

"If the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army in Southeast Shanxi continues to develop, I'm afraid..."

Before Usue Seizo could finish speaking, the communications officer hurried in with the telegram in his hand, and bowed his head to Neiji Okamura to report:

"Report to the commander, the locust army's Northwest Shanxi frontline command is urgent!"

"Read!" Neiji Okamura said casually, completely unaware that the offensive of the Shindan regiment was already in full swing.

The communication staff paused, and read in a deep voice with a telegram: "The Eighth Route Army's Xinyi Regiment used fire-breathing tanks, and under the cover of heavy artillery and medium tanks, it even attacked more than 10 positions of the 10th Division of the Locust Army. Erlang Ishikawa I will request to concentrate the main force of the 10th Division and start a decisive battle with the Xinyi Regiment of the Eighth Route Army!"

"Nani?" Neiji Okamura turned his head in disbelief, "The 10th Division has conquered more than 10 positions in a row?"

Arisue Seizo on the side also cast an unbelievable look at the communications staff.

Didn't it mean that Xinyi regiment's offensive was contained? How could it be defeated by more than 10 positions so quickly?

"Hi!"

The communication staff officer and Neiji Okamura met each other's eyes, and then quickly lowered their heads.

"A flame-breathing tank?"

Ningji Okamura's eyes suddenly froze, why did Balu suddenly equip it with a fire-breathing tank?

Arisue Seizan said solemnly: "Before this, there was no information showing that Eighth Road was equipped with a fire-breathing tank, or that Eighth Road had obtained a fire-breathing tank long ago, and it has been hiding until now it is revealed."

"Baga!" Neji Okamura cursed bitterly, his face collapsed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

If the 10th Division could not withstand the offensive of the Xinyi Regiment, then the locust army of the five divisions would lose everything in this attack on the base of the Eighth Route Army in Northwest Shanxi.

And Ishikawa Jiro actually requested to concentrate the main force of the 10th Division to fight the new regiment.

This shows that Moritake Tanabe and Jiro Ishikawa are at the end of their ropes, and they really can't think of any way to contain the offensive of the new regiment, and they want to complete their efforts in one battle.

However, can the 10th Division, which has over one-third of the casualties of the offensive combat troops, defeat the new regiment of the Eighth Route Army?

Neiji Okamura was lost in thought.

……

In Dagu Town.

Following Li Yunlong's order, the 1st Battalion of the New Cavalry Regiment completed its assembly on the outskirts of Dagu Town.

In the night, I saw a soldier from the 1st Battalion of Cavalry on each horse.

Every soldier has a helmet on his head and a "Yunlong knife" on his waist. Behind the soldiers, they all carry an M3 submachine gun.

The 600st Battalion of Cavalry with nearly 1 people, except for the machine gunner, replaced the M1 carbine, and all of them carried submachine guns.

Each soldier's waist is full of magazines loaded with submachine gun ammunition.

The main thing is firepower.

During the day, every cavalry soldier fired hundreds of rounds of training ammunition. Although they were sharpening their guns before the battle, they were not happy at all.

The cavalry were lined up in six rows, their helmets gleaming coldly in the moonlight, and an aura called chilling immediately pervaded.

Although half of the cavalry battalion went to overseas bases to learn to drive tanks, the other half were cavalry with rich combat experience.

The cavalry battalion has nearly 600 cavalry, a total of 6 companies with 100 cavalry each, and the company is lined up in units.

Cao Jiang, the cavalry battalion commander, rode a strong maroon oriental horse and was at the front of the queue. Even though the soldiers couldn't wait, he didn't give the order to attack immediately, but looked in the direction of Dagu Town from time to time.

Suddenly, the sound of a car motor came from the direction of Dagu Town.

Immediately afterwards, a bright light swept over from the entrance of the town.

A jeep and a truck drove out of Dagu Town and stopped in front of the 1st Cavalry Battalion.

Li Yunlong jumped from the Willys jeep.

"Salute!" cavalry battalion commander Cao Jiang shouted, nearly 600 people in the cavalry battalion rode on military horses, and saluted Li Yunlong in unison with a standard military salute.

The soldiers stared at Li Yunlong with fiery eyes.

Li Yunlong is definitely the soul of Xinyituan.

Li Yunlong returned a military salute with a solemn expression. Battalion Commander Cao shouted out the salute, and then the cavalry soldiers quickly put down their hands, and a uniform clatter sounded in everyone's ears.

"Let me just say a few words!"

After glancing at the soldiers, Li Yunlong said loudly:
"Since our new regiment of cavalry was formed, compared with the new regiment of infantry, the cavalry has not fought many times, but every attack has achieved brilliant results!"

"This time, our opponent of the 1st Cavalry Battalion is the 10th Cavalry Regiment of the Japanese 10th Division!"

"The devil's cavalry is more than double that of ours, but we have a submachine gun, which is prepared for the 10th regiment of the devil's cavalry!"

"Nearly 600 submachine guns, I have never fought such a rich battle in eight lifetimes, let you meet them."

"With such good equipment, I would like to ask you, do you have the confidence to kill the 10th Regiment of the Little Devils Cavalry?"

"Have!"

As soon as the words fell, the cavalry soldiers shouted in unison.

"Well!"

Li Yunlong said loudly: "Dignity is only on the edge of the sword, and truth is only within the range of the cannon. Tomorrow, you will use the submachine guns in your hands to teach the devil cavalry a good lesson. I still say the same thing, meet on a narrow road—"

Having said that, Li Yunlong paused for a moment.

Meeting on a narrow road, the brave wins is Li Yunlong's own creation, but the dignity is only above the edge of the sword, and the truth is only within the range of the cannon, which Li Yunlong heard from Boss Chen.

This sounded boosting, so Li Yunlong used it to mobilize the soldiers before the battle to boost morale.

"The brave wins!"

Immediately afterwards, the long howls of the soldiers rose into the sky.

"kill!"

"kill!"

"kill!"

A burning force surged out from the hearts of the cavalry soldiers.

"The 1st Battalion of the New Regiment of Cavalry!"

"Attack!"

Following the order of Battalion Commander Cao, the cavalry reined in their horses and rushed to the battlefield.

Li Yunlong stared calmly at the direction where the soldiers of the 1st Cavalry Battalion were leaving.

He didn't look back until he could no longer hear the sound of horseshoes and soldiers riding horses.

Li Yunlong knew very well that with a submachine gun in hand and sufficient ammunition, the cavalry battalion could protect itself. It would be difficult to completely wipe out the 10th Cavalry Regiment.

But as long as most of the devil cavalry are defeated or even eliminated, his strategic goal will be achieved.
