Chapter 872 Li Yunlong: Do you want to attack Taiyuan?
At the headquarters of the only regiment, Huang Yu appeared at the door at full speed. Before he could get in, he hurriedly asked: "Captain... why are you in such a hurry that I rushed here without eating dinner..."
"It's a big thing..." Kong Jie replied seriously.
"The headquarters just forwarded a telegram to us: Something happened in the northern Shanxi base area and we are in urgent need of reinforcements..."
"This is a telegram..."
"You should understand first... we will discuss it when Lao Li arrives?"
Huang Yu's affection for northwest Shanxi is no less than that of the current Yizhong base area.
When I heard that something happened in the base area in northwestern Shanxi, I became anxious. I received the telegram and quickly scanned the contents of the telegram.
His brows furrowed and he said seriously: "Yoshio Iwamatsu, this old devil is very cruel."
"While our northern Shanxi team has just completed its raid mission, before it has had time to rest and replenish its forces, if we follow it and launch an attack, no matter who is the leader of the team, we will lose the battle."
"The timing of their raids was very good!"
Kong Jie nodded and answered: "That's why the northern Shanxi base area suffered a defeat at the hands of Yoshio Iwamatsu."
"Otherwise, with the strength of the base area in northwestern Shanxi, we can still keep the base area no matter how bad it is."
"Unlike now, half of the base area was lost within a week of the big sweep."
"Fortunately, they traded space for time, temporarily stabilizing the battle situation and blocking the momentum of the Japanese attack..."
"Otherwise they wouldn't even have a chance to ask for help."
Kong Jie nodded while answering.
"According to the head of the headquarters, Neji Okamura also played a role in fueling this big sweep."
"We suffered a defeat at our hands and lost face. We want to make up for it from the Eighth Route Army in the Northwestern Shanxi Province."
"In order to prevent other Eighth Route Army troops from reinforcing northwest Shanxi, several small groups stationed around Shanxi have all stepped up their vigilance and blocked all highways in and out of northwest Shanxi."
"Kong Er is stupid..."
When Kong Jie was about to continue speaking, Li Yunlong's shout suddenly sounded outside the headquarters.
After a few more seconds, he hurriedly walked in and stared at Kong Jie with an unkind look on his face.
"If you don't give me a reasonable explanation today... I'm not done with you."
"The Duyi Regiment has just received a large number of new recruits, and the field artillery battalion has just been established. People are indispensable everywhere..."
"Calling me all the way here isn't a waste of time?"
"Urgent call from the head of the headquarters..."
Kong Jie knew Li Yunlong's virtues and was not angry. He directly photographed the headquarters telegram in front of Li Yunlong and choked him on the spot.
"The chief sent us a telegram? Did something happen again? Or is that old devil Okamura Neji not trusting us and coming up with some dirty tricks to deal with us?" Li Yunlong said to himself with doubts on his face, and grabbed him easily.
Pick up the telegram from your desk.
"Northwestern Shanxi..." The puzzled expression on Li Yunlong's face was immediately replaced by worry.
While reading, he asked: "Can I contact the northwest of Shanxi directly by telegram..."
"How is my new regiment doing? Did the Japanese raid inflict heavy casualties on them?"
"Is that boy Zhang Dabiao in danger?"
Kong Jie shook his head: "I contacted Shen Quan..."
"Zhang Dabiao is fine at all. It's just that his troops were heavily attacked by the Japs and were killed by surprise. The losses were huge..."
"Now they are using guerrilla warfare to hold back the pace of the Japanese and puppet troops' offensive, fighting the Japanese for attrition. For the time being, neither the enemy nor we can do anything to the other."
"The leader wants us to deploy a force to secretly reinforce northwest Shanxi, cut off the Japanese and puppet army's logistics supply lines, and reinforce the base area in northwest Shanxi from the side."
"Because the Japs garrisons around Shanxi have stepped up their guard and blocked all major transportation routes in and out of northwestern Shanxi."
"The possibility of us taking the road to reinforce northwest Shanxi with great fanfare is almost zero."
"In order to catch the Japanese by surprise, the commander asked us to form a small and capable force, but with strong combat effectiveness, to directly hit the Japanese army's logistics supply line."
"We also asked Xiao Huang to lead the team by name. We will provide troops, equipment, and ammunition..."
Li Yunlong read the telegram at the same time, put it on the table and said to Kong Jie: "Northwestern Shanxi is our natal family..."
"Now that they have an accident, we will reinforce them no matter what we say..."
"My only regiment can deploy two reinforced companies... Although there are not many people, I guarantee that they are all veterans for more than half a year, with strong combat effectiveness and well-equipped equipment..."
In the counter-mopping up that just ended, there were only more than one battalion of veterans left in the only regiment.
Li Yunlong took action with two reinforced companies. This was indeed the most troops he could offer...
After all, the only regiment still has some veterans left as seeds to train new recruits, otherwise the new regiment would not be able to regain its combat effectiveness for half a year.
Kong Jie thought for a moment and answered: "The Duer Regiment can only produce one reinforced company..."
"Each of the three garrison regiments has a reinforced company, plus the assault company directly under the special forces regiment, there are seven companies with 1,500 elites, which should be enough."
"If Xiao Huang feels that the firepower is not enough, he can also bring two large-caliber mortars from the heavy artillery battalion."
"They are the only heavy artillery in the base area that can be transported by mules and horses, and can also travel on mountain roads."
"If you use it well, it will be no problem to deal with the mountain cannons equipped by the Japanese."
After Kong Jie finished speaking, he looked at Huang Yu.
He is the one with the most evil ideas among the three. As long as he nods and thinks there is no problem, then the reinforcements will almost win.
Half a minute passed, and Huang Yu stared at the map on the table without answering...
A minute passed, and Huang Yu was still looking at the battle map on the table.
Kong Jie followed Huang Yu's gaze and looked at the map, then a shocked expression flashed across his face. Then he turned his gaze to Huang Yu again and asked with disbelief.
"Xiao Huang...are you targeting the little devil's Shanxi Garrison Headquarters?"
Li Yunlong was also shocked, but the expression on his face was quickly replaced by excitement. He stared at Huang Yu expectantly and asked: "You want to fight Taiyuan..."
"That's where the Shanxi Garrison Headquarters is located, and the newly appointed Japanese commander Yoshio Iwamatsu is there."
"If you can really threaten the security of Taiyuan, the little devils who raided northwestern Shanxi will definitely divide their forces and return for reinforcements, and the deadlock on the battlefield will be broken."
"And we have fought in Taiyuan before. Although we did not capture the inner city, we are still familiar with the terrain inside the city..."
If we can really defeat it, it will forget the unfulfilled wishes of several of us last time.
"I just don't know how many little Japs are left in Taiyuan City after Yoshio Iwamatsu mobilized heavy troops to sweep through northwest Shanxi, and whether we have the possibility of defeating them."
"If there is... we can really fight this battle."
Kong Jie still looked shocked and asked: "You two must be crazy..."
"No matter how small the number of troops in Taiyuan is, there are still multiple regiments and very strong city defenses. We have just experienced a large-scale sweep, and more than half of the troops were injured. The new recruits who have just been added have not been trained yet, so how can we fight!"
"If this thing had happened half a month ago, I would have supported Xiao Huang in going to Taiyuan without saying a word."
