Chapter 248: The Great Chaos in Northwest Shanxi, Lao Li's First Full Fire(1/2)

Shortly after the boss's order was issued, various troops began to mobilize on a large scale that night.

At the garrison of the 772nd Regiment of Daqing Town, looking at the gathering troops in front of him, the blind man Cheng was full of excitement.

Since the expansion of the 772nd Regiment, there has never been a situation where the entire regiment has been put into battle.

Even though Yoshio Shinozuka led the 36th Division to counterattack last time, the 772nd Regiment only sent three battalions of troops to cooperate with local troops to block the attack.

"Report to the leader of the group, the whole group has been assembled, please instruct!" The deputy leader of the 772nd Regiment ran to Cheng Xiazi and said seriously.

Cheng Xiazi nodded: "This time, our entire regiment was dispatched to target Pingguan County, ten kilometers away. The 719th Regiment of the 359th Brigade was also cooperated with us to act together!"

"I don't care about how to fight, but I'll leave it here! No matter what? The first one to enter the city must be our 772nd Regiment."

"This time, we have to learn from Li Yunlong's troops. After entering the city, we will bring all of them back to me, whether they are food or weapons and ammunition. If anyone dares to lose his chain at this critical moment, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

"Yes!" Everyone roared in unison, and the excitement on their faces was not concealed at all.

On the other hand, the 771st Regiment had also assembled its troops and prepared to launch an attack on the Tianzhuang stronghold five kilometers away from its base.

"Old Zhou, what's the situation? Aren't we cooperating with the 714th Regiment this time? Judging from this situation, why does it seem like we are the main force?"

The Third Battalion Commander Wu Xian looked at the Second Battalion Commander Zhou Hou with a look of surprise.

Xu Hai, the commander of the battalion, shrugged and smiled: "Old Wu, don't you know yet? Commander Dun of the 714th Regiment and our commander are old enemies!"

"Our group is working with the 714th group again this time, so the leader naturally cannot be at a disadvantage."

"What are you three talking about? Why don't you organize troops quickly and prepare to set out towards the farm!" Xu Shengji glanced at the three of them and said sternly.

"Yes!" the three of them answered quickly, then turned around and walked towards their respective troops.

At the same time, Li Yunlong's two garrisons were also gathering troops.

"Hurry! Move quickly, bring all the weapons and equipment. This time there is a tough battle to fight, so move quickly!"

Kong Jie and Ding Wei stood at the gate of the county town and kept urging various troops.

A war horse neighed, and as soon as the cavalry battalion rushed out of the county town, the sound of the engine rumbling came from behind.

Kong Jie and Ding Wei were stunned and turned his head subconsciously: "Xiao Zhou, has Lao Li even dispatched the tank this time?"

"And!" Zhou Weiguo nodded: "The regiment commander said, this time we use everything we can use!"

"It's not just tanks, anti-tank rocket launchers, small steel cannons, and heavy artillery seized by the Japanese, but all the mountain cannons must be used."

"Now Battalion Commander Wang and his team are loading the artillery onto the carriage, and it will probably take more than half an hour!"

Ding Wei nodded, looked at the troops that had already set off and said, "This time the movement is really big. All artillery is used, and all three regiments are dispatched. Is Lao Li planning to slaughter northwest of Shanxi this time?"

As soon as Ding Wei finished speaking, another sound of horse hooves came from the sound of horses.

Looking at the sound, Chu Yunfei, Fang Ligong and others had already stopped in front of several people steadily.

"Two regiment commanders, this time it was not just three regiments, our 358th regiment will also be involved in the battle!"

Kong Jie was stunned: "The 358th Regiment is also involved in the battle? What should I do if the safety of the little desert mountain is there?"

Chu Yunfei smiled and said, "This brother Yunlong has already arranged it, and a part of the troops will be left to defend at that time."

Kong Jie and Ding Wei nodded, the heat in his eyes was not concealed at all.

All four regiments were dispatched. Apart from the left-behind troops, the total number was nearly 14,000, and the troops were almost up to one division. This was the first time for them to take the initiative on such a large-scale campaign.

Chu Yunfei, who was standing beside him, was also excited. They had never fought any major battles since they joined the Eighth Route Army.

In the past, when they were in the Jinsui Army, they had been holding on like turtles because of Yan Laoxi's orders and never took the initiative to attack.

And this time, it was not only the first time for them to take the initiative to fight, but also a chance to prove themselves.

At this moment, Li Yunlong came over with the monk Duan Peng.

"Old Li!" Brother Yunlong!" "Captain!"

Seeing Li Yunlong coming, everyone gathered around to say hello.

"Yes." Li Yunlong nodded and responded: "How is the situation of the troops being mobilized now?"

Kong Jie immediately said: "The new first group, the new second group, and the independent group have all left the city."

"The Cavalry Battalion and Special Forces have just left the city. Commander Chu's 358th Regiment is on the way. Now there are still artillery battalions left in the city!"

Li Yunlong nodded: "Send someone to notify Wang Chengzhu immediately and ask him to move faster and don't be out of touch with the main force at that time!"

"yes!"

The monk responded and was about to go into the city to urge him, but he saw that Wang Chengzhu had already walked out with the cannon camp.

"You guy is a little slow!" Li Yunlong looked at Wang Chengzhu and smiled.

Wang Chengzhu scratched his head embarrassedly: "Captain, our artillery battalion is different now, so it will take some time."

"Since the artillery battalion of the regiment Chu was incorporated into us, although we were nominally an artillery battalion, it was actually far more than the organization of an artillery battalion."

"To be honest, if all the artillery numbers in our army are now pulled out, it would be humble to say that they are just an artillery regiment!"

The corners of Li Yunlong's mouth rose slightly. He knew the best how many cannons his troops have now, and there are many types of cannons, although most of them are mountain cannons.

Although the power of mountain cannons is not as powerful as heavy cannons, they can win by a large number. Even if they encounter the strength of a brigade of Japanese soldiers, they can fully carry out cover bombing.

Moreover, with other artillery, even the Japanese division-level troops can carry out a firepower battle.

In addition, there are now more than 10,000 infantrymen and three tanks are charged to the battlefield. This time, Li Yunlong is all elite.

Li Yunlong glanced at the vast army, and his eyes were filled with pride.

"To be honest, just our current troops and weapons and equipment, to fight a small Anhua County town, it is a waste of talent."

"Old Li has never fought such a wealthy battle in his eighth life!"

Everyone nodded. It was not that Li Yunlong was talking big, but that there was only one Japanese brigade in Anhua County.

If it weren't for the target of this attack that was not only Anhua County, Li Yunlong wouldn't have needed to mobilize so many troops.

"Old Li!" At this moment, Zhao Gang hurried over and asked: "Old Li, this time the army is in large-scale combat, why don't you take me with you?"

Li Yunlong was stunned, patted Zhao Gang's shoulder and said, "Old Zhao, it's not that I won't take you, but we almost came out this time!"

"Ping'an County and Xiaohuangshan only left a small number of troops to garrison, so someone must stay behind."

"Besides, we are all military chiefs. You are the political commissar, and it is your responsibility to stay behind."

Ding Wei immediately agreed: "Old Zhao, Lao Li said this correctly. You must first settle the internal affairs when fighting foreign countries. We are fighting in the front. If there is a fire in the rear, we will not be able to fight this battle!"

"So Lao Zhao, although you don't go to the front line with us this time, you're still fighting!"

Zhao Gang nodded helplessly after pondering for a moment: "Okay, since you all said that, I have nothing to say."

"Don't worry, I will guard you for you here!"

Li Yunlong nodded. Just as he was about to turn around and leave, the voice of the anti-aircraft artillery battalion commander Liang Guoping suddenly came from behind.

"Captain!" Liang Guoping ran to Li Yunlong panting: "Captain, the anti-aircraft artillery battalion has been prepared and can set off at any time."

Li Yunlong was stunned and said with a look of surprise: "What are you gathering for?"

Ding Wei smiled and said, "Old Li, are all troops deployed this time? So I asked the anti-aircraft artillery battalion to prepare too!"

Li Yunlong shook his head helplessly and turned to look at Liang Guoping: "This time, the anti-aircraft artillery battalion will not participate in the battle. Your mission is to cooperate with Political Commissar Zhao to guard the family!"

"Why?" Liang Guoping exclaimed: "Captain, our anti-aircraft artillery battalion firepower is not worse than that of Battalion Commander Wang's artillery battalion. We play a greater role in going to the battlefield. Why are you..."

“What’s why?”

Before Liang Guoping finished speaking, Li Yunlong immediately interrupted: "The maneuverability of the anti-aircraft gun is too poor. This time the troops will continue to move to the battlefield. It is inconvenient for the anti-aircraft gun to follow!"

"This is an order, no complaints are allowed!"

"Yes!" Liang Guoping sighed and agreed helplessly.

Li Yunlong saw the disappointment in Liang Guoping's eyes and patted his shoulder with a smile: "This time we attack on a large scale, the Japanese may even send bombers here, so you must stay in the county to protect the safety of the people and the arsenal."

"I don't want to finish the war and be homeless in the end! So the burden on your shoulders is not light!"

"Yes!" Liang Guoping responded, saluted and left.

After a while, everyone in the artillery battalion had left the city. Li Yunlong waved his hand: "The whole army will set off and target Anhua County!"

"Yes!" Everyone roared angrily and walked towards the direction where Anhua County was located.

The next morning, a Japanese soldier stretched on the city tower of Pingguan County: "Yawa, how long will it take to change shifts? I am so tired!"

Another Japanese man looked at the sky and snatched the cigarette butts in his hand: "It's almost done, it's probably going to be the shift change in another hour."

"I'll let you go to some comfort centers less often. Now you're still so young, what should I do in the future?"

The Japanese soldier laughed: "Let's talk about what happened in the future. The war has not been finished yet, so don't worry!"

"Bang!"

As soon as the Japanese finished speaking, a gunshot suddenly came from outside the city, and the bullets were spinning at high speed, like lightning shot directly through his eyebrows.

Suddenly, a bright red mixed with white liquid flowed out.

The Japanese around were frightened by the sudden scene and hurriedly lay on the ground.

"What's going on? Where did the gunshot come from?" A Japanese squad leader lay on the ground and looked at the dead body of the Japanese falling not far away in horror, and shouted quickly.

The Japanese named Yamato quickly climbed into the hole at the city gate to check it, and then shouted in horror.

"Your Excellency the Squad Leader, it is the Chinese troops. There are all Chinese troops outside. We are surrounded by them!"

As soon as Yamato finished speaking, a shell drew an arc in the sky and landed on the top of the city tower above him!

"boom!"

A cannon sound came, and the roof instantly turned into ruins, and bricks and tiles fell towards them like raindrops.
