Chapter 646: What kind of plane is Li Yunlong working on?
Somewhere in southeastern Shanxi.
Eighth Route Army Headquarters.
Although more than a dozen counties in southeastern Shanxi were recaptured by the Eighth Route Army.
However, for the safety of the headquarters, the headquarters will still change its location after a period of time.
If the Japs know the location of the headquarters and the Japs' special agents come to carry out a sneak attack, it will be very bad.
The headquarters had just changed positions, and the telegraph soldiers in the telegraph room had just put up the antenna and turned on the telegraph machine, when the beeping sound of the telegraph machine started.
The telegraph soldier quickly put on his earphones to answer the call.
After about 15 minutes, the decoder finished translating the telegram, held a telegram in his hand, and walked quickly into the headquarters operations hall.
"Report, new telegram!"
In the operations hall, the heads of the headquarters were looking at the map that had just been laid out, and the voice of the telegraph soldier rang in their ears.
"read!"
The chief thought it was Li Yunlong's routine report, so he ordered without raising his head.
"yes!"
The decoder held the telegram in both hands and read:
"At noon yesterday, our unit shot down three enemy planes 20 kilometers northeast of Taiyuan Wusu Airport, killing Lieutenant General Gu Shoufu, two major generals, and six people from the left."
"The new regiment handed over 16 B4 heavy howitzers and 250 tons of weapons and ammunition. They will receive the goods at noon three days later at Yangcun Airport."
"Li Yunlong, leader of the new regiment."
"What?" All the headquarters personnel, including the chief and chief of staff, were all confused after listening to the decoder reading the telegram.
"Can you show me the telegram?"
The commander quickly took the telegram from the decoder and read it.
The decoder saluted with a military salute and left quickly with a look of shock on his face.
All the decoder could think about was how powerful Captain Li Yunlong was. Not only did he accomplish great things, but he also handed over a heavy howitzer.
As a decoder at the Eighth Route Army headquarters, he is absolutely reliable and loyal, because the decoder knows the contents of the telegram before the heads of the headquarters.
As for the content of the telegram, even the telegraph operator responsible for receiving the telegraph signal did not know.
After reading the telegram, the chief's eyes widened with disbelief.
The chief of staff on the side quickly took the telegram from the leader's hand and read it. He had the same expression after reading the telegram.
In this operation, Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang did not consult the headquarters in advance, but carried out their own duties.
If it doesn't work, just pretend nothing happened.
If you succeed, give the head of the headquarters a surprise.
Now there are more than twenty battalions in the new regiment, and Li Yunlong has the right to mobilize three or four battalions.
Of course, if he really wanted to be reckless, Li Yunlong would even dare to mobilize the entire regiment to attack Taiyuan without asking for instructions.
It's just that Zhao Gang will stop him.
"Gu Shoufu?" The leader had a strong psychological quality, and he quickly reacted and asked, "Is it the Gu Shoufu who led the Sixth Division to attack Jinling City in 1937?"
"It must be him!" The chief of staff nodded, his tone cold, "After this old devil occupied Jinling, he ordered the devils of the Sixth Division to kill at least 50,000 to 60,000 of our compatriots."
"Li Yunlong did a great job this time!"
The chief said loudly.
"A good death!"
"It's too cheap for this old devil to die like this!"
"He should be executed in a hurry!"
"..."
A group of combat staff also spoke loudly.
There was no need for Li Yunlong to report, both the chief and the chief of staff knew that it must be Boss Chen who provided the information this time.
Because Li Yunlong had to hand over 16 B4 heavy howitzers and 250 tons of weapons and ammunition, it must be another deal between Li Yunlong and Boss Chen.
"Isn't that right?" The leader calculated carefully, "Didn't Li Yunlong say that the price of killing a major general is 4 heavy howitzers, and the price of killing a lieutenant general is 12 heavy howitzers."
"After this calculation, the total price should be 20 heavy howitzers. Li Yunlong should hand over 10 heavy howitzers."
"Could it be that this guy Li Yunlong handed over 16 heavy howitzers this time and only kept 4 for himself?"
"Who is Li Yunlong like that?" the chief of staff curled his lips, "This guy would rather not even hand over a heavy howitzer."
"I guess."
"It should be an old Japanese named Gu Hisao. He is worth 24 heavy howitzers. A major general is worth 4 heavy howitzers. A total of 32 heavy howitzers."
The leader nodded and analyzed: "That should be the case. The old devil Gu Shoufu was the commander of the Sixth Division in 1937. According to his seniority, he should have been promoted to general long ago. However, this little bastard Li Yunlong, for such a big operation this time,
You didn’t ask the headquarters for instructions?”
The chief of staff crossed his arms and said with a smile: "Hey, this is all a trivial matter. The point is that Li Yunlong killed Gu Shoufu and handed over 16 heavy howitzers and 250 tons of weapons and ammunition, plus the 8 heavy howitzers that Li Yunlong handed over before.
, our headquarters has 24 heavy howitzers, which is enough for a heavy howitzer regiment!"
"Well, that's true!" the leader nodded with great satisfaction, "Including the new group of heavy howitzers, we have a total of 48 203mm heavy howitzers. If Chiang Kai-shek knew this, he would be jealous of him.
"
**The largest caliber cannon is only 150 mm, and there are not many of it.
The Eighth Route Army has more 203mm heavy howitzers than the entire **150mm howitzers!
The chief of staff pondered: "48 heavy howitzers should be enough to attack Taiyuan, right?"
"If we just look at the artillery firepower, it is enough to attack Beiping, not to mention Taiyuan." The boss said in a bold tone, "The power of the 203mm heavy howitzer is no joke."
Today, the base area in southeastern Shanxi is engaged in production while stepping up preparations for war.
If we attack Taiyuan, the Eighth Route Army in southeastern Shanxi can bring out 1,000 cannons.
Of course, most of these 1,000 cannons are 60mm mortars and 70mm infantry cannons, because Southeast Shanxi currently has production lines for 60mm mortars and 70mm infantry cannons.
But even this was unimaginable to the Eighth Route Army a year or two ago.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! A year ago, the Eighth Route Army launched the Hundred Regiment War in order to break the Japanese army's cage policy. At that time, except for the new regiment, the equipment of other units of the Eighth Route Army could
To describe it as simple.
In just one year, the number of artillery pieces in the main force of the Eighth Route Army has reached as many as 1,000.
Not only are they equipped with 150mm howitzers, they are also equipped with 203mm heavy howitzers, and even tanks are equipped.
It's almost astonishingly rich.
"but……"
The chief then said: "Li Yunlong did it this time without asking the headquarters for instructions. The punishment will be waived. He will be given a verbal warning and will not be the same again."
Although Li Yunlong killed Gu Shoufu and handed over 16 heavy howitzers and 250 tons of weapons and ammunition, the chief was very happy.
but.
Don't encourage Li Yunlong's habit of not asking for instructions.
Although the chief is very happy, sometimes it is still necessary to beat him.
The chief of staff nodded, and felt that there was nothing wrong with a verbal warning. He immediately drafted a telegram, handed it to the chief for signature, and was about to take it to the telegraph room for the guards to send to Li Yunlong.
At this moment, the decoder who had just walked out quickly walked in again, holding a few telegrams in his hand.
The decoder walked up to the head of the headquarters and gave a military salute.
"Report to the chief!"
"Two telegrams from the New Regiment received!"
Since the new group has to send three telegrams, two of them are encrypted and one is in clear code.
Therefore, Wang Dehou asked the telegraph operator to first send an encrypted telegram to the head of the headquarters, and then send a clear telegram and an encrypted telegram to the headquarters.
It's just that the encrypted telegram that follows uses a password that has been used before, and may have been deciphered.
The chief of staff asked: "The new regiment sent two more telegrams?"
The boss also said in a surprised tone: "I sent three telegrams in a row. What kind of plane is Li Yunlong working on?"
The chief of staff and the leader looked at each other with surprised expressions.
The decoder said with certainty: "Yes, Commander Li sent two telegrams, but one of them was a clear telegram, and the other was sent in the previous code."
"oh?"
The chief of staff took the telegram from the decoder and read it, his expression gradually becoming strange.
Seeing the expression on the chief of staff's face, the boss's curiosity was piqued.
"What did Li Yunlong say in the telegram?" the boss asked the chief of staff.
After reading the telegram, the chief of staff suddenly laughed and said: "Chief, you'd better read it yourself."
The chief took the telegram from the chief of staff and read it.
Immediately afterwards, the chief's expression gradually became weird.
At the level of a leader and chief of staff, it is natural to see Li Yunlong's true strategic purpose.
The first one was a clear coded telegram. The content was very simple. It was Li Yunlong telling the world that one of the executioners of the Jinling Massacre was killed by me, Li Yunlong.
If you little devils want to avenge the old devil Gu Shoufu, come to northwest Shanxi to find me, Li Yunlong.
Although there are no gorgeous words, there is a domineering air between the lines.
Both the commander and the chief of staff could predict that sending this clear telegram would definitely cause an uproar.
Because the Jinling Massacre is painful to every Chinese with conscience.
"This is a clear-coded telegram worthy of celebrating by killing pigs and sheep, and a clear-coded telegram that can make the Chinese people happier than during the Chinese New Year."
The chief commented with an extremely serious tone.
"But... the third telegram is interesting."
After a pause, the leader looked at the chief of staff and asked, "Man, what do you think of this telegram?"
The third telegram was naturally from Li Yunlong reporting to the headquarters that the downing of the plane carrying the Japanese observation group was the information provided by Neji Okamura.
The chief of staff read the telegram carefully twice and said: "Li Yunlong should have sent this to the Japanese on purpose. Neji Okamura is our underground party. This is outrageous, impossible, absolutely impossible."
"And Li Yunlong used the previous password to send the telegram to the headquarters."
"This should be Li Yunlong's intention."
"You mean, this telegram was sent by Li Yunlong to the Japanese army on purpose?" the chief asked.
"That's right!" the chief of staff said affirmatively, "This guy Li Yunlong probably wants to trick Okamura Neji."
The code book used to communicate with various departments of the Eighth Route Army will be changed after a period of time.
Because once a certain codebook is used frequently for a long time, there will be a risk of being deciphered, which will cause some confidential information to be leaked, and even the specific combat deployment of the Eighth Route Army will be deciphered by the enemy.
The chief said in an appreciative tone: "I think this guy Li Yunlong is not only good at fighting, but he is also good at understanding the enemy's mentality."
Everyone laughed, and the headquarters was filled with joy.
…
Peking.
Iron Lion Alley.
North China Front Army Headquarters.
"Report to the general!"
"Li Yunlong, commander of the new regiment of the Eighth Route Army, sent a clear telegram!"
The communications staff officer held a telegram in his hand and anxiously lowered his head to report the report to Neji Okamura.
Okamura Neiji had an order that matters regarding the New 1st Regiment of the Eighth Route Army and Li Yunlong must be reported to him as soon as possible.
So the communications staff officer came to the commander's office with the telegram as soon as possible.
What worried him was that the content of the telegram sent by Li Yunlong was very arrogant, as if the Japanese wanted to avenge Gu Shoufu, so they came to northwest Shanxi to kill me.
Even a Japanese can't stand it, let alone the commander of the North China Front.
The communications staff officer was afraid that the commander would be killed in anger.
"oh?"
Neji Okamura, who was discussing future North China tactics with Moritake Tanabe and Seizo Arisu, raised his head in surprise.
But when he thought of the clear coded telegram that Li Yunlong sent after he defeated Datong and killed the 3rd Brigade Commander and met Yin Sanxiong again, Okamura Neji's face darkened slightly.
Okamura took the telegram from the communications staff and read it. Upon seeing this, the communications staff quickly lowered his head, then turned around and walked away.
"idiot!"
"Li Yunlong is dead!"
After reading the telegram, as expected by the communications staff, Neji Okamura cursed loudly.
Okamura Neiji has been engaged in intelligence work in China for several years. He is a China expert, has extensive research on Chinese culture, and is good at calligraphy.
In the view of Neji Okamura, this Li Yunlong was simply murderous. Every time he killed a Japanese officer above a major general, he would also invent a coded telegram to ridicule him.
Although Okamura Neji was happy to see the death of Ko Hisao, Li Yunlong was so unscrupulous that Okamura Neji wanted to chop off Li Yunlong's head immediately.
After reading the telegram, Yusue Mingzo and Tanabe Moritake were furious.
"Baga, Li Yunlong is too arrogant!"
"I simply don't take the Empire of Japan's locust army seriously!"
"This person has no sense of awe and will be killed by the locust army sooner or later!"
"..."
The two old devils talked to each other angrily.
But it can only be incompetent rage.
I'm very angry, but there's nothing I can do.
The last time the Japanese army assembled 5 divisions to attack northwestern Shanxi, they failed, and they also mobilized 3 divisions from the Kwantung Army but failed. The North China Front Army alone had no way to deal with Li Yunlong for a while.
"Tanabe-kun, immediately send a clear telegram to Li Yunlong, telling me, Okamura Neiji, to ask Li Yunlong to wash his neck and wait, and I will personally chop off his head!"
Okamura Neji said in a cold tone.
"Your Excellency, Commander!" Tanabe Moritake advised, "Li Yunlong is just a little-known person, you don't have to argue with him."
"Um?"
"Are you questioning my order?"
Neji Okamura narrowed his eyes and chopped off Tanabe Moritake, and a cold murderous aura spread out.
"Don't dare!"
Tanabe Moritake was startled and quickly lowered his head.
