Chapter 298 The elite of the elite!
The next two days were very peaceful.
Originally, Li Yunlong thought that the Japs would take some revenge, such as sending planes for bombing or something.
But the kid didn't do that. Maybe he was afraid of angering Li Yunlong at this time and causing unnecessary trouble.
Li Yunlong was sitting on the bench smoking a cigarette, when Zhao Gang came over with a telegram and said: "The telegram just sent by the superior said that the main force of the 9th Infantry Division has arrived in Shanxi."
"Ninth Division?"
"Yes, it's the Ninth Division!"
Li Yunlong frowned slightly.
Xing Zhiguo asked: "What is the combat effectiveness of this Ninth Division?"
Zhao Gang said with a serious face: "The 9th Division is the standing division of the Japs. It can be said to be the ace unit of the Japs."
"Is it so powerful?" Xing Zhiguo asked in disbelief.
Li Yunlong said: "This 9th Division is indeed very powerful."
"Before the Marco Polo Bridge Incident, the Japanese Army had only seventeen standing divisions in total. These seventeen Japanese divisions were also the seventeen most powerful divisions in the Army."
"Later, after the full-scale war broke out, the Japs began to comprehensively expand their troops. The army's strength increased by almost ten times."
"The little devils have created many new divisions and some independent mixed brigades."
"Not to mention these independent mixed brigades, they are all local garrison troops and not truly elite."
"Some garrison divisions in the three-unit system can only be regarded as second-rate troops."
"Type A divisions are the real elite troops, and these seventeen standing divisions are all Type A divisions, which can be regarded as the elite among the elite."
"Because other divisions are basically built on these seventeen standing divisions."
"For example, the 110th Division stationed in Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Province is also a standing division, but this 110th Division is a new division formed based on the supplementary corps of the 10th Division."
"It can be said that the 110th Division was originally the reserve team of the 10th Division, and was later expanded into a formal division."
"Of course its weapons, equipment and combat effectiveness cannot be compared with the main body of the 10th Division."
"The 10th Division and the 9th Division are the same. They are both standing divisions. They are the best of the best and are the real ace divisions of the Japanese."
"After the outbreak of the all-out war of resistance against Japan, the Little Devils successively transferred several standing divisions such as the 5th Division, 6th Division, 10th Division, 16th Division, 14th Division, and 20th Division to North China. However,
These divisions were all transferred out one after another."
"It has been more than a year since there have been no Japanese standing divisions stationed in North China."
"I didn't expect that this time, the little devil actually sent a standing division! And it was the Ninth Division with relatively strong combat effectiveness."
When Zhao Gang heard this, he quickly asked: "Old Li, do you know the Ninth Division very well?"
Li Yunlong replied: "I can't say I'm familiar with it, but I know that this 9th Division participated in the Battle of Songhu."
"Later, the 9th Division also participated in the Battle of Jinling and was one of the first troops to arrive at Jinling."
"Of course, at the same time, this Ninth Division is also one of the main culprits in the Jinling Massacre."
Hearing this, Xing Zhiguo couldn't help but cursed: "Then these beasts deserve to die even more."
Zhao Gang frowned and said, "The purpose of the little devil mobilizing the 9th Division to come to Shanxi at this time is obvious."
Li Yunlong threw away the cigarette butt in his hand and said with a sneer: "Isn't it just for us?"
"Well done, I was just planning to have a nice meeting with them!"
"We didn't bump into them before, but now that they are in my hands, how can I let them go so easily?"
Zhao Gang said: "No matter how we talk about fire, the little devil is coming with great force this time, so we'd better be careful."
"The superiors are also mobilizing all intelligence forces to closely monitor the little devil's actions."
"If they take further actions, they will notify us in time."
Li Yunlong said casually: "There is nothing to worry about, isn't it just the Ninth Division?"
"No matter how powerful they are, when they come to our territory, we have to deal with them obediently."
Xing Zhiguo nodded, and then asked: "By the way, how many troops does this 9th Division have in total?"
Li Yunlong said casually: "If the entire division comes, there will be less than 30,000 people!"
"Thirty thousand?"
Xing Zhiguo jumped up and asked in surprise: "So many people?"
Zhao Gang explained: "That's about right! The Japanese standing divisions still have strong combat effectiveness and sufficient troops."
"So we'd better be careful. The trouble this time is not small. A fierce battle is inevitable."
Li Yunlong was confident and said casually: "There is nothing to be afraid of. This battle will be fought as we should. If you are afraid now, then you might as well stop fighting and just find a place to hide."
"If you dare to fight, you will win. These are the true Eighth Route Army soldiers."
Zhao Gang smiled and said: "What Lao Li said is quite right. No matter how many people they come, we will still fight the enemy with all our strength."
"With our current strength, it is not impossible to defeat them."
Xing Zhiguo smiled and said, "You two are getting closer and closer to each other."
Li Yunlong ordered: "Convey this news so that the soldiers can be mentally prepared in advance."
"good!"
Zhao Gang promised: "I will make arrangements immediately."
…
Peiping, inside the Japanese headquarters.
Neiji Okamura was reading a document in the office, when Yukio Kasahara walked in.
"Your Excellency Commander!"
"Hmm~!"
Okamura Neiji nodded slightly.
Yukio Kasahara continued: "I just received a report that the 9th Division has all arrived in Shanxi and is resting."
"In addition, the 3rd tank regiment has also arrived at Niangziguan. If everything goes normally, it is estimated that it will arrive in Taiyuan tomorrow."
"吆西~!"
Okamura Neiji nodded slightly, and then said: "It seems that the progress of each unit is quite rapid."
Kasahara Yukio said: "Hai! The other troops are also rushing to various places in an orderly manner."
"Moreover, traffic in various places has basically been restored, and the enemy forces have been relatively calm for a while."
"Based on the current situation, we will be ready for everything in a few days."
Okamura Neiji gritted his teeth and said: "The main thing is to deal with this Li Yunlong. Unless this bastard is cut into pieces, it will be difficult to relieve the hatred in my heart."
Kasahara Yukio said quickly: "Commander, please calm down. No matter how powerful Li Yunlong is, he only has a few thousand people."
