Chapter 754 Li Yunlong: Follow me to ensure you have meat to eat (second update)

Li Zhi stood aside and did not interrupt, but he was dumbfounded.
A reinforced brigade, more than 8,000 little Japs, all of them Kwantung Army.
In the eyes of Kong Jie and Li Yunlong, they turned into a bunch of lambs waiting to be slaughtered. They didn't take them seriously and said they would annihilate them all.
For him, he had never dreamed of such a thing before.
The 26th Regiment fought many battles after its establishment. The most dangerous battle faced by the Japanese army was only a full infantry brigade.
The Japs facing Yi Zhong now have an entire reinforced brigade, more than 8,000 people, including six fully-formed infantry brigades, and a large number of artillery to support them.
You must know that as the strength of the army increases, the overall combat effectiveness of the army does not increase proportionally, but doubles with the addition of artillery.
The combat effectiveness of a reinforced brigade is much greater than that of six simple infantry brigades.
Such a powerful military force was destroyed as soon as Kong Jie said, and he did not take them seriously. This shows how powerful the Yizhong Eighth Route Army's usual combat effectiveness is.
Kong Jie happened to notice the change of expression on Li Zhi's face and immediately asked: "Captain Li..."
"If you have any ideas, just mention them."
"Although the leader requires the 26th regiment to obey our command, we are all regiment leaders and we will definitely discuss the matter when encountering a war."
"If you have a better idea, we will definitely listen to you."
Li Zhi shook his head first, then nodded. He held it in for several seconds before asking Kong Jie a question: "Captain Kong, we are really capable of killing a reinforced brigade of the Japanese."
Li Yunlong didn't wait for Kong Jie to speak and said arrogantly: "Isn't it just over 8,000 Kwantung Army troops?"
"Captain Li, don't worry, I, Li Yunlong, don't care about this little devil."
"In the last big sweep, I commanded a regiment of troops to severely damage a Japanese mixed brigade."
"Although we have to deal with more Japs this time, with better equipment and stronger combat effectiveness. But we also have several times more troops participating in the war, so we can definitely win them."
"do not worry……"
"As long as the 26th regiment strictly implements the order and follows me in the assault, we will ensure that the comrades eat meat."
Kong Jie immediately answered: "Captain Li, don't worry."
"No diamonds, no porcelain work."
"I, Kong Jie, never fight an uncertain battle."
"As long as we choose the battlefield well, it is no problem to eliminate more than 8,000 Kwantung Army troops."
After saying that, he focused his attention on Huang Yu again and asked directly: "Xiao Huang."
"You came up with the idea of annihilating the enemy. Let me tell you what you think first."
Huang Yu picked up a pencil and drew a circle on the map and said: "We will wipe out the Kwantung Army reinforcements right here..."
…………
The Kwantung Army marched southward in columns, and the brigade headquarters occupied an entire carriage.
The brigade commander, Major General Nakamura, was looking seriously at the information that Okamura Neji had just provided him.
When he first came to North China, he never had any face-to-face encounters with the Yizhong Eighth Route Army and could only understand them through the intelligence he had.
The chief of staff was sitting aside. He had already read the intelligence in Nakamura's hand. He could sum it up in one sentence: The strength of the Eighth Route Army in Yizhong should not be underestimated. The forward brigade must be cautious in its next raid, otherwise it will cost the wife.
And he lost his troops.
In the past more than an hour, he had been staring at the map and studying the reinforcement route to ensure that the troops reached Baoding safely.
At this moment, the fast-moving train suddenly began to slow down, and finally stopped in a wilderness with no village in front of it and no store behind it.
A lieutenant officer boarded the carriage at the same time and reported with a serious face: "Brigade commander..."
"The railway ahead was damaged and the military train was unable to move forward."
"The First Brigade has sent scouts to investigate and determine the length of the damaged railway..."
The chief of staff quickly found the current location of the military column on the map, drew a circle, and then reported solemnly: "General..."
"We are still more than 20 kilometers away from Baoding."
"It takes more than half an hour to get there by riding a military train south."
"If we abandon the military columns and march on foot, it will take at least three hours to reach Baoding."
Major General Nakamura frowned at the same time: "It's too slow, the time difference is nearly three hours."
"It's one o'clock in the morning now. If we march on foot, it will take 4:30 in the morning at the earliest to reach Baoding."
"The Eighth Route Army that occupied Baoding will not wait for us to attack and will definitely discredit our retreat."
"They won't just watch us rush to Baoding."
"As long as we detach a regiment of troops to fight for reinforcements and slow down our march, it will be good to reach Baoding at dawn."
"Da da da... boom boom boom..."
As soon as Major General Nakamura finished speaking, a burst of firefights sounded two or three kilometers away.
The two combat officers immediately rushed out of the carriage, climbed onto the roof of the carriage, used binoculars to look in the direction where the sound of the exchange of fire came from, and reported while watching.
"Brigade commander, the outgoing reconnaissance unit was attacked by an unknown person."
"The opponent is equipped with four mortars, three heavy machine guns, and nearly ten light machine guns. The firepower is very powerful..."
"The reconnaissance troops are retreating steadily."
"Baga..." Major General Nakamura cursed.
"The enemy who attacked us must be from the Eighth Route Army's reinforcements."
"The First Brigade immediately sent two strengthened squadrons to attack, connect the reconnaissance troops, and repel the Eighth Route Army's reinforcements."
"If there is a chance to outflank them, it would be best to eat them."
A messenger immediately rushed out of the carriage to give the order, and his reaction speed was very fast.
In less than ten minutes, the intensive exchange of fire stopped.
Major General Nakamura waited for another ten minutes. The messenger and a major climbed into the carriage at the same time, panting and reporting.
"Report to the brigade commander..." Major spoke first.
"As an adjutant of the Yamaguchi Regiment, I have been ordered to report on the battle situation."
"Reconnaissance force report: All the railways ahead were destroyed by the Eighth Route Army and are impassable."
"The reconnaissance force was attacked by the Eighth Route Army after marching one kilometer forward, and two teams were lost..."
"After responding to the troops' attack, the Eighth Route Army took the initiative to withdraw from the battle."
"The commander of the regiment asked for instructions whether the troops should abandon their ranks and reinforce Baoding on foot."
"In order to speed up the march of the troops, we must recapture Baoding as soon as possible."
"The captain of the regiment earnestly requests the commander's consent: the Yamaguchi regiment voluntarily abandons all baggage and heavy weapons, advances with light equipment, and rushes to Baoding on a hasty march."
"We are confident that we can reach Baoding within three hours."
Before Major General Nakamura could speak, the chief of staff objected loudly: "No..."
"We absolutely cannot divide our forces to reinforce Baoding, let alone give up heavy weapons."
"Intelligence shows that the Eighth Route Army in Yi Zhong has the strength to severely damage a mixed brigade of our army. You only bring three light infantry brigades to reinforce Baoding. If you are targeted by the Eighth Route Army, you will be a sheep in the tiger's mouth and you will die."
"If we want to march on foot, the entire brigade must move together. We must not separate our troops and advance rashly, giving the Eighth Route Army every opportunity to defeat us."
The second update is delivered today, please order it all!
