"Let's go back to the regiment headquarters and discuss it in detail."
Zhao Gang looked around and then said to Li Yunlong.
"Okay." Li Yunlong said, "Then let's go back to the regiment headquarters and talk."
The two of them quickened their pace and walked towards the regiment headquarters.
"salute!"
At the entrance of the regiment, two sentry soldiers from the guard company held their rifles with bayonets, placed their left palms inward on their forearms and shoulders parallel to their chests, and saluted Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang.
The two returned the greeting and then walked into the inner room of the regiment headquarters.
Sitting cross-legged on the kang, Zhao Gang said: "Brother Chen has received information that the first batch of ammunition and supplies currently given to the Shanxi Japs by the Japanese base camp is a total of three military trains. Each train is fully loaded with 1,000 tons of supplies. Currently, there are
One has arrived at Shimen City Railway Station, and the other is still in Baoding."
When Li Yunlong heard this, his eyes couldn't help but scorching and he licked his lips.
This is 3,000 tons of weapons, ammunition and supplies!
If we can get all the 3,000 tons of weapons and ammunition, the entire Eighth Route Army will make a fortune.
It is not difficult to support the Eighth Route Army for another Hundred Regiment Campaign.
Zhao Gang continued: "The reason why these three military trains are still parked in Baoding and Shimen City is because the Zhengtai Railway has not yet been repaired. After the Zhengtai Railway is repaired and can be opened to traffic, these three military trains will move along the Zhengtai Railway.
Transport all weapons, ammunition and military columns to Taiyuan."
Captain Li said in a bad tone:
"Damn it, why can a little devil get rich while our Eighth Route Army is drinking from the northwest wind?"
"I didn't say it before. I drove this road and planted this tree. If you want to live from now on, I will leave money to buy the road."
"While the Japanese don't have time to build strongholds and gun towers, let's rob on the Zhengtai Railway."
"By the way, does the intelligence say that the Japanese have any precautions?"
Although he really wanted to kill his mother, Li Yunlong had a calm mind and it was not that easy to rob the Japanese army.
The little Japanese will never give up this batch of weapons and ammunition to the Eighth Route Army, and will definitely be on guard.
Li Yunlong dared to use his sword in battle, but he never fought mindlessly or acted stupidly.
"The Japs' defenses are very strong this time." Zhao Gang said in a solemn tone: "Each military train is escorted by a Type 94 armored train."
"Look, Lao Li, it's the armored train that was destroyed by our mountain artillery battalion at Niangziguan last time."
Zhao Gang handed Li Yunlong a photo. Although it was a little bit out of shape and was in black and white, Li Yunlong recognized it at a glance as the same Japanese armored train that was at Niangziguan that day.
This Japanese armored train is armed to the teeth, with not only heavy machine guns, but also large-caliber heavy artillery.
If the new regiment did not have mountain artillery and sufficient artillery shells, it would really not dare to provoke this Japanese armored train.
"In addition, the Japanese also provided an infantry brigade to escort the military columns transporting supplies."
"This is not the most outrageous thing. The most outrageous thing is that the Japanese have organized infantry regiments and infantry brigades, a total of 18 infantry brigades. They are stationed in brigades from Jingxing Railway Station to Yuci Railway Station every 10 kilometers.
On the Zhengtai Railway, there will be two Japanese squads patrolling along the railway every half hour."
Not only Zhao Gang's expression became a little solemn, but also Li Yunlong's expression became a little solemn.
There is an infantry brigade stationed every 10 kilometers, which is a much stronger defense than a stronghold or gun tower every 1.0 kilometers on both sides.
After all, the Japanese troops in the gun towers and strongholds were too scattered, but this time the Japanese troops were very concentrated.
"The Japs' defense this time is indeed quite strong." Li Yunlong nodded and said.
Zhao Gang said: "If a certain point is attacked, at least one infantry brigade nearby can arrive within half an hour."
"Moreover, the Japs can also use trains to transport large numbers of Japs along the railway to the location of the attack."
"Within two hours, at least four regiments of Japs will arrive for reinforcements."
"The Japanese use trains to transport troops, so don't worry too much." Li Yunlong pondered, "If we really want to rob the military trains, we can just send troops to blow up the railways."
"Even if the Japanese can't transport troops by train, at least an infantry regiment will arrive within an hour."
Zhao Gang said: "Within an hour, we will definitely not be able to end the battle and then leave with 1,000 tons of weapons and ammunition."
"We can think of a way to do this." Li Yunlong looked thoughtful, "The most important thing now is to find out the time when the Japanese army train will set off from Baoding or Shimen City."
"We need to know the exact time when the military column enters Shanxi before we can take action, otherwise everything will be empty talk."
"I'm afraid we have to find a way for this ourselves." Zhao Gang said with a bitter smile, "Information says that Brother Chen can't provide us with the specific time for the military train to leave, because when the Japanese military train leaves, it is temporarily determined by the Japanese headquarters.
The decision will not be determined in advance, so it is basically impossible to know the departure time in advance.”
"However, what is certain is that the Japanese military train transporting ammunition and supplies will depart from Baoding or Shimen City for Taiyuan only after the Zhengtai Railway resumes traffic."
"According to Brother Chen's information, the Zhengtai-Taiwan Railway will resume operation in about 13 days."
"13 days?" Li Yunlong narrowed his eyes, "It's at least half a year faster than we thought."
"Yes." Zhao Gang agreed, "The speed at which the Japanese repaired the railway is indeed beyond our imagination."
"However, Brother Chen provided us with detailed intelligence and detailed maps of the Japanese and puppet defenses in Jingxing County and Shimen City."
"Including all observation posts in villages and towns near these two places, as well as Japanese and puppet army patrols, all have detailed intelligence."
"With these two things, our sharp sword squadron can smoothly penetrate into the vicinity of Jingxing Railway Station and Shimen City Railway Station."
"Really?" Li Yunlong's expression perked up, and then he was slightly happy, so that his special forces could complete the mission better.
As long as we keep an eye on these two places, the Japanese troops transporting ammunition and supplies will not be able to escape.
After a pause, Li Yunlong added: "This batch of ammunition and supplies cannot be eaten by our new regiment. We have to invite the brigade commander and division commander to eat together. If everything goes well, our Eighth Route Army can have a good year this year."

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! At that moment, Li Yunlong read all the information. If there was anything he didn't understand or didn't know the words, Zhao Gang answered it one by one.
After familiarizing himself with all the information, Li Yunlong left behind the defense information and maps of Jingxing County, Shimen City and their surrounding areas.
He first called the brigade headquarters and told the brigade commander that he would report an important situation to the brigade commander personally later. Then he took the information and guards and rode towards the brigade headquarters.
…
Eighth Route Army Headquarters.
The chief of staff is reporting to the boss.
"According to intelligence from various places, the Japanese army will have a strength of brigades and regiments."
"The units are based on brigade and are distributed on the Zhengtai Railway from Jingxing County to Yuci. The rule is that an infantry brigade is stationed every 10 kilometers."
"Moreover, every half hour, there are at least one team patrolling along the 10-kilometer railway line."
The chief of staff has asked the combat staff to draw all the locations where each Japanese brigade is stationed on the map with red circles.
And each red circle is marked with the Japanese troop number.
The boss stared at the map and frowned slightly: "Have you found out the intention of the Japanese army in doing this?"
Although the information from the Eighth Route Army Headquarters was able to figure out the location and number of each Japanese brigade, the First Army Headquarters had not yet let out the news at this time.
This batch of supplies was top-secret information of the Japanese army, and even no one around Yamamoto Kazuki and Shinozuka Yoshio except the communications staff knew about it.
Therefore, the Eighth Route Army Headquarters has not yet found out why the Japanese army deployed its troops in this way.
"The real intention of the Japanese army to deploy troops in this way has not been found yet," the chief of staff said.
"It's really strange." The boss frowned slightly, "What are the devils doing?"
Mr. Liu on the side also pushed up his glasses and said in a confused tone: "From the map, it looks like the Japanese are protecting the entire Zhengtai Railway. Is there a big shot coming?"
"Such a big battle, it looks like the emperor is coming." The boss laughed, "It can't be that the emperor of Japan is coming, right?"
"Boss, don't say anything." The division commander also laughed and said, "This Guards Division and the Guards of the Little Japanese Emperor are here. It's not unusual for their Emperor to come to Shanxi."
The chief of staff knew that what the boss and division commander said was a joke. How could the little emperor of Japan come to a remote place like Shanxi?
If you want to come, you must come by plane, not by train.
The chief of staff laughed and said: "When Chen Gengping was under the Ministry of Education, he often liked to say, 'Even if the emperor's guards come, they will choke to death in the cesspit one by one.' Now the emperor's guards have really come.
, let’s just sit back and watch Chen Geng choke the emperor’s guards to death in the cesspool.”
"But Li Yunlong is very enthusiastic." The boss smiled, "As soon as the emperor's guards entered Shanxi, he gave them a big gift."
"Report!"
At this moment, a voice sounded outside the door. This voice was familiar to several leaders. It was Chen Geng.
"Cao Cao, Cao Cao will be here soon." The boss smiled and said, "Come in!"
The boss and the other two leaders turned around and saw Brigadier Chen walking in, followed by Li Yunlong, who held a thick stack of paper in his hand.
"Two Cao Cao are here." Seeing Li Yunlong following behind, the division commander immediately smiled.
Brigadier Chen and Li Yunlong walked up to the three leaders and raised their hands in a military salute.
After the three chiefs returned the courtesy, the brigade commander asked with a smile: "Chief, how can there be two Cao Cao?"
"We are talking about you and Li Yunlong." The chief of staff smiled, "We are talking about you two, and you two came to the headquarters."
After a pause, the chief of staff asked: "It's so late, do you have any important reports to report?"
Unless it is a more important situation, you can report it to the headquarters by phone or telex.
Seeing Brigadier Chen and Li Yunlong arriving at the headquarters so late together, they must have important information to report to the headquarters.
"The commander is really good at knowing things." Brigadier Chen said, "Li Yunlong and I do have important information to report. Li Yunlong, please report the situation you have to the commander."
"Yes, Brigadier!"
At that moment, Li Yunlong reported the information Chen Feng gave him to the three leaders.
Finally, Li Yunlong licked his lips and said: "My special forces will keep a close eye on the two railway stations in Shimen City and Jingxing County to figure out which train is the military train transporting ammunition and supplies."
"Boss, chief of staff, and division commander, as long as we successfully rob even one Japanese army column, our Eighth Route Army will have a prosperous year this year."
"Fuck him, son of a bitch!" The boss exuded courage and strategy from the inside out, and his tone was still domineering: "Go and grab it, even if you can't grab it, I will blow up the Japanese troops transporting ammunition and supplies!
