I am helping

Chief of Staff Wang Dehou looked at the telegram and read down the killed Japanese generals one by one.

Zhao Gang and Li Yunlong looked at each other and saw a deep joy in each other's eyes.

"One, two, three...seven or eight."

"A total of 8 generals were killed, including 3 lieutenant generals and 5 major generals."

Wang Dehou announced the number of lieutenant generals and major generals he killed.

The Eighth Route Army wanted to capture him alive, but the Japanese general had a spiritual understanding of Bushido and was not generally strong. He would either fight stubbornly or shoot himself in a desperate situation.

He didn't even give him a chance to capture the Japanese general alive.

"Great."

Zhao Gang smiled broadly and couldn't help but waved his fist:
"This battle was really beautiful. The First Army, the 28th Division and the infamous Fifth Division were finally wiped out. Even the division commander and commander were killed by us!"

So far, the entire campaign has only lasted about 20 days.

This battle went more smoothly than Zhao Gang imagined.

Among the estimated casualties in the combat plan, after this battle, the Eighth Route Army headquarters and Li Yunlong estimated that the casualties would be around 5 to 7.

But at present, it seems that the total casualties of the Eighth Route Army are less than 2.

On the one hand, the Eighth Route Army used ground-penetrating bombs, which barely cracked the Japanese tunnel tactics and surrounded two Japanese divisions and a regiment of the Fifth Division.

On the other hand, the main force of the Japs in Taiyuan, seeing that something was not good, slipped away from Taiyuan and ran into the large encirclement of the Eighth Route Army.

At the same time, more than 3 Japanese soldiers in Niangziguan were also surrounded by the Eighth Route Army.

This large-scale offensive battle was turned into three large-scale encirclement and annihilation battles by the Eighth Route Army.

Before the war, almost everyone did not expect that it would be such a three-flowering battle.

"Kill 8 Japanese generals!"

Commander Li's tone was extremely happy, and his unique voice of laughter spread far away:
"Haha, Lao Zhao, we will make a fortune from this battle!"

Compared to anything else, Li Yunlong cares more about the business value earned from this battle.

Kill three Japanese lieutenant generals and five Japanese major generals, and you can get 8 Saber fighter jets at once.

Of course, in addition to Sabre fighter jets, there are other military factories such as weapons and ammunition production lines, and civilian factories and other equipment, as well as B4 heavy howitzers, Katyusha rocket launchers, armored vehicles, tanks, various cars and a large amount of fuel.

Simply bloody.

That is to say, the current 5th Division has been reorganized into a three-unit mechanical division, and the brigade organization has been cancelled. The division has three infantry regiments under its jurisdiction.

Otherwise, the business price of two more brigade leaders could be increased.

Although the strategic goal of the Eighth Route Army's major campaign this time was to kill the 10 Japs in Shanxi and these Japs generals.

But when he actually achieved some goals, killing 8 Japanese generals at once, Li Yunlong still felt a little ecstatic.

in fact.

With the combat power of the Japanese, 3 Japanese were surrounded by the main force of 10 Eighth Route Army. They were at a huge disadvantage in terms of strength and firepower, and they were still surrounded.

Some Japanese soldiers can break out of the encirclement.

When Li Yunlong assembled the 5 main force of the Eighth Route Army and ambushed the Japanese 1st Division, the Japanese escaped with [-] to [-] soldiers.

Unfortunately, only some of the Japanese were able to escape.

Moreover, this time the Eighth Route Army also had more than 4 elite cavalry participating in the battle, specifically to pursue and intercept the Japanese who broke out.

Most of these Japanese generals were killed by the Eighth Route Army cavalry after breaking out of the encirclement under the cover of their personal guards.

The existence of cavalry units is still very necessary. Cavalry units are more flexible than infantry in mobile combat and pursuit operations.

this battle.

Without the cavalry of the New First Regiment and the New Second Regiment, it would be difficult for the 10 main force of the Eighth Route Army on Zhengtai Road to achieve such great results.

Even Yoshio Iwamatsu and Masaru Hanatani are no exception.

"It is indeed a fortune."

The smile on Zhao Gang's face grew stronger and he nodded.

In this battle, so many enemies were wiped out, so many materials were seized, and the business prices were so high that they were probably more than the weapons, ammunition and military equipment earned from the business in the past two years combined.

In other words, the Japanese captains are not considered business. Otherwise, under the leadership of Li Yunlong and himself, I am afraid that hundreds of Japanese captains would have been killed.

"Why is there no Kazuki Yamamoto in this list of Japanese generals who were killed?"

Li Yunlong's expression suddenly changed and he asked.

Yamamoto Kazuki was promoted to major general, and Li Yunlong had already received the information.

Although Kazuki Yamamoto rarely had a solid record in the First Army, Li Yunlong felt that Kazuki Yamamoto was more capable than other Japanese generals and was deeply impressed by Kazuki Yamamoto.

Even Zhao Gang on the side couldn't help but narrowed his eyes when he heard Yamamoto Kazuki's name.

In the hands of this devil, there is a special force called the Yamamoto Agent Team.

Unless Kazuki Yamamoto and his special agents are eliminated, they will always be a threat to the Eighth Route Army, although this threat is very small.

Wang Dehou said tentatively: "Shanmoto may be surrounded by us in the tunnels of Qinglong Mountain or Taigu Defense Line, or may he have escaped?"

Li Yunlong nodded, it's possible.

However, he was just Major General Yamamoto, so he was at most worthy of his attention.

Li Yunlong pointed to the Qinglong Mountain and Taigu defense lines on the map on the table, and said excitedly: "Among the Japanese surrounded by us on the outskirts of Taiyuan, there should be two Japanese Lieutenant Generals, the commander of the 41st Division, Qing Shuigui, and the 24th Division. Hiroshi Nagamoto.”

"Lao Li, let's take it this way."

Zhao Gang smiled slightly, pointed to Niangzi Pass on the map, and said: "At Niangzi Pass, there are also three lieutenant generals and two brigade commanders, as well as a lieutenant general and chief of staff of the North China Front."

"If nothing happens, we can kill at least 16 Japanese generals in this battle."

Li Yunlong's eyes lit up slightly when he heard this.

Li Yunlong couldn't imagine the price of 16 Japanese generals, that is, 16 Saber fighter jets, plus other weapons, ammunition, vehicles and fuel.

These 16 Saber fighter jets, plus several Saber fighter jets that have not been exchanged before, can form a Saber fighter squadron.

The only shortcoming was that the Eighth Route Army lacked pilots.

However, Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang heard that YA and the headquarters were already recruiting Chinese pilots from overseas through relationships, as well as internationalist fighters who were willing to join the Eighth Route Army.

Li Yunlong looked at Wang Dehou: "Chief of Staff, immediately forward this telegram to the headquarters, the 129th Division Headquarters, the Independent Regiment, the New Second Regiment and the Jizhong Military Region Headquarters."

"Yes."

Wang Dehou smiled slightly, turned around and left with the telegram.

Serves as the operational staff officer at the headquarters.

Wang Dehou had already imagined the happiness of the head of the headquarters and chief of staff, as well as the combat staff, as well as the division commander, division chief of staff, and division combat staff, after receiving this telegram.

Looking at Wang Dehou's leaving figure, Zhao Gang smiled and said: "This telegram will be sent to the Chongqing Eighth Route Army Office by the head of the headquarters, and then it will be published on the headlines of Xinhua Daily tomorrow."

"The Japanese will also know about it by then." Li Yunlong raised the corner of his mouth, "We have killed eight more Japanese generals."

"Order all the ministries to work harder and try to kill all the remaining Japanese soldiers and generals as soon as possible!"

……

Niangziguan.

The battle has entered a fever pitch, the sound of dense gunfire can be heard far away, and the battle is extremely fierce.

All the surrounded Japs already knew that the Japs from the four divisions were approaching them.

and so.

The Japanese occupied more than 20 surrounding hills, large and small, and chose to resist the Eighth Route Army's attack.

In a desperate situation, the Japanese fought desperately, and the fighting power they unleashed cannot be underestimated.

"Leader, political commissar."

At the independent regiment headquarters, the chief of staff reported to Kong Jie and Wang Yingcai the battle situation reported by the front-line offensive troops:
"The Japs' troops gathered on these big hills, as well as on more than a dozen or 20 smaller hills in the surrounding areas."

"These days, although the Japs are bombed and shelled, the Japs' engineers and infantry have dug many trenches and shell-proof holes on these hills."

"Our artillery is basically 75mm mountain guns, 82mm mortars and 60mm mortars."

"Although there were many artillery and shells fired, the Japanese casualties were also high."

"But there are still many Japs gathering on these hills. Our troops' attacks are almost always from the top, and the casualties are higher than expected."

"But please rest assured, commander and political commissar, our soldiers will definitely be able to wipe out all the Japs within two days."

When Kong Jie heard this, he couldn't help but frown slightly.

The fierce resistance of the Japanese was somewhat beyond Kong Jie's expectation.

After being shelled and bombed for three full days, the Japanese had almost no food and not much ammunition, but they could still resist like this.

The Japanese soldiers have such tenacious fighting will that they rank among the top three in the world.

At this moment, a telegraph soldier walked in quickly with a telegram in his hand and saluted Kong Jie and Wang Yingcai with a military salute.

"Report to the head of the delegation, the political commissar!"

"The frontline headquarters sent a telegram that our Eighth Route Army has killed eight Japanese generals, including the commander of the First Army, Yoshio Iwamatsu, and the commander of the Fifth Division, Lieutenant General Matsui Tairo."

While speaking, the telegraph soldier handed the telegram in his hand to Kong Jie, then turned and left.

"Great."

"Good job!"

"Kill 8 Japanese generals in one battle, I'll be a good boy!"

All the officers, including Kong Jie and Wang Yingcai, looked excited.

"Taiyuan and Zhengtai Road played well, we can't fall behind!"

Kong Jie felt itchy in his heart, like a cat scratching. Among the Japanese surrounded by Niangzi Pass, there were a total of 6 Japanese generals.

Killing these six Japanese generals and these tens of thousands of Japanese soldiers will definitely allow the Independent Regiment and the fraternal troops of the Central Hebei Military Region to receive heavy awards and make a fortune.

"Captain, what are you going to do?"

Political Commissar Wang Yingcai asked.

"Chief of Staff, immediately call for air support from the headquarters flight regiment and the independent regiment flight group."

Kong Jie's eyes were murderous and his tone was harsh:

"This time for air support, all planes will only carry incendiary bombs. I will burn all the Japanese into roast pigs!"

"Yes."

The chief of staff looked stern and turned to leave.

……

[Highly recommend "Volunteers: Heroes Attack". Although it is a little worse than "Changjin Lake", it is also a good war movie to resist U.S. aggression and aid Korea, especially the battle at Songgu Peak at the end of the film, where American planes drop incendiary bombs to bomb the Volunteer Army. , made me cry. If I have the opportunity in the future, I will definitely write a novel about resisting U.S. aggression, aiding Korea, and fighting the American Japanese.

The double monthly pass will end in a few hours, I beg for a monthly pass, thank you! 】(End of this chapter)
