Chapter 752: Did the raid end as soon as it started?
The Japanese's spring sweep in the Northeast came to an end just now.
At the same time, this battle also made Li Yunlong make a fortune.
Although Li Yunlong looked down on the Japanese equipment, these gunpowder and steel were all excellent.
Even if it is newly built, it can save Li Yunlong a lot of money.
Before the flood completely retreated, Li Yunlong led his troops back to Frost City.
At this time, the invading Japanese had just been defeated in the Shuangcheng.
Seeing Li Yunlong come back, Zhao Gang was completely confused.
"No, Lao Li, aren't you going to fight Chang Chun? Why are you back so soon?"
Li Yunlong smiled and said, "Chang Chun? Chang Chun can't fight."
"We and the Japanese wanted to go together. On the way, we met the Japanese troops, so I took care of them."
Zhao Gang frowned: "Have you cleaned up? Is it the Japanese army?"
"Let's not be caught in the Japanese's lure the tiger away from the mountain."
Li Yunlong put down the water bowl and smiled and said, "The five brigades must be the large army of the Japanese."
"Of course, unless the Japanese dispatched more troops this time, if so, just pretend I didn't say it."
Zhao Gang was speechless for a while: "What are you going to do next?"
"We may have new actions to the Japanese attack this time. We must prepare in advance!"
Li Yunlong sneered: "I suddenly lost the strength of five brigades. I believe that even if the Japanese have any action, it would be a small action."
"We have seen big scenes, and we are not afraid of small scenes. Let the soldiers tell the warriors that the whole city will be martial law during this period to prevent the Japanese from jumping over the wall and attack us!"
"In addition, we have been fighting this battle happily, but the brothers from other war zones are still falling in blood."
"Although we are in the Northeast and cannot rush to support us, our morale still needs to be improved, and we can also rub the Japanese's spirit."
Zhao Gang nodded: "This idea is good. I will immediately send a telegram to Taicheng."
After saying that, Zhao Gang immediately stood up and left.
In the afternoon of that day
The brigade commander of the Eighth Route Army of Taicheng frowned and threw the pencil on the table angrily.
"Damn, this one is so popular. I have fought for so many years and have encountered such a difficult opponent for the first time."
The Chief of Staff also said with an unhappy look: "There is nothing we can do about this. We just experienced a great war not long ago."
"Many troops have to bite their teeth before they recover."
"In addition, the old Japanese devil has brought another division's troops. It has been quite hard for us to stick to it until now."
Another staff officer agreed: "The Chief of Staff is right. This battle broke out too suddenly. The soldiers joined the new battle before they recovered from the previous battle."
"The morale of many soldiers in many units is now problematic, especially among the new recruits."
At this moment, a soldier hurriedly ran in.
"Report to the brigade commander, Li Yunlong from Northeast China sent a telegram!"
"Li Yunlong?" The brigade commander was stunned: "What telegram is this kid sending at this time? Do you know that the Japanese launched a sweep across the country?"
"Isn't it a mess to send a telegram at this time? Don't read it!"
The Chief of Staff said: "Brig Commander, let's take a look."
"The last time I received a telegram from Minglou, it seemed that the highest commander of the Kwantung Army had also been replaced."
The brigade commander was stunned and turned around and said, "Is the person replaced? Who?"
"Okamura Yasuji!"
"That old Japanese devil from the Sixth Army in the past?" the brigade commander frowned.
The Chief of Staff nodded; "It's him."
"This old Japanese is not easy to deal with. Many of our commanders and soldiers have suffered his losses. I guess something must have happened to Li Yunlong, so he sent a telegram."
The brigade commander's face suddenly turned ugly.
What can he do now? Wars are everywhere in northwest Shanxi, and even if something really happened to Li Yunlong, he would probably not be able to help.
Perhaps the only thing that can be done is to let Li Yunlong lead his troops out of the Northeast.
After all, if you keep the green mountains, you won’t be afraid of burning firewood.
If Li Yunlong died in battle, the Northeast would also be lost. Instead of doing this, it is better to retain his strength and seek a chance to make a comeback.
Thinking of this, the brigade commander received the telegram nervously.
But as soon as I looked at one, I couldn't help but smile on my face.
"Haha, this kid Li Yunlong is really disappointed."
The brigade commander's sudden laughter scared everyone.
"Brig Commander, what's wrong? What did Li Yunlong say in the telegram?"
The brigade commander handed the telegram to the chief of staff and smiled: "Li Yunlong, this kid is really a tragedy!"
"This kid actually exploded the Muhua River and flooded the Seventh Army for the Japanese."
"By the flood, the five brigades of the Japanese were wiped out directly. The spring mobilization of the Northeast Japanese was over before it even began!"
The Chief of Staff quickly scanned the telegram: "Li Yunlong is indeed agile."
"We commanders and fighters should be like him. In addition to using the weapons and artillery in their hands, we must also learn to use the advantages of the terrain."
"Brig Commander, I suggest that this matter be compiled into a report, and the entire brigade and even the entire division will be promoted to praise Li Yunlong."
Everyone laughed.
Another staff officer said: "Chief of Staff, you said at the beginning that Li Yunlong cannot praise this kid, if you praise it, something will happen."
"If the entire army really praises this, maybe he will cause something the next day."
The Chief of Staff laughed: "One time and another time."
"The morale of the entire northwestern Shanxi is not high now, so we can help boost morale."
"This can have a positive impact on our fight against the Japanese in northwestern Shanxi."
The brigade commander nodded: "You are right, not just northwest Shanxi, but other parts of China are fighting hard."
"Since Li Yunlong has won, let's take advantage of the situation."
"Immediately notify all newspapers and I want to spread the news across the country as soon as possible and tell the people of the whole country that even if the Japanese give us a nationwide sweep, we are not afraid!"
"At the same time, I will tell the Japanese that if they have any tricks, let's go there!"
"yes!"
That night, several newspapers of the Eighth Route Army fully published the news.
Taicheng Newspaper even sent the news overnight.
The next morning, news that Li Yunlong drowned five brigades of the Japanese in the Northeast spread across the country.
Once this news was released, the whole of China caused a sensation again.
The deeds of Li Yunlong flooding the Japanese quickly became a legend and spread in the streets and alleys.
Some opera yards even directly changed this deed into opera singing.
However, compared with the excitement of the Chinese people, the faces of the Japanese in various places have become ugly.
After all, the Kwantung Army has the reputation of the Japanese Flowers. The spring sweep has just begun, and one of their most elite troops was defeated?
Chapter 752: The sweep ended at the beginning?
Chapter completed!
