Bright Sword: I took Li Yunlong to work in military industry

Chapter 492: Silent Japanese North China Expeditionary Army 1st Army Headquarters

When Zhang Dabiao started to exert his strength, Shen Quan also started to exert his strength.

Under the dense rocket fire, the strength of a Japanese regiment was a little insufficient, and the regiment led by Yoshizawa Tadao was suppressed almost the entire time.

As an old-fashioned officer in the Japanese army, Yoshizawa Tadao has extremely complicated feelings towards the Chinese army. He has experienced most of the large-scale battles between the Locust Army and the Chinese Army. He has seen the Chinese Army deserting in the face of the enemy and also seen the Chinese Army's fearlessness and bravery. But overall, the Locust Army is still superior in terms of equipment.

However, since the emergence of the independent regiment, this equipment advantage has disappeared, and the offensive and defensive situations have also changed.

Yoshizawa Tadao looked through the telescope at the soldiers of the independent regiment who were ambushing him, and he found that there was a long-lost spirit on the faces of these soldiers. This spirit was not possessed by ordinary armies, but only by armies that had experienced all kinds of difficult battles and won one great victory after another.

Facing the constant bombing overhead, Yoshizawa Tadao was disheartened at this moment. It was not because of the overwhelming artillery fire, but because of the majestic aura of this army.

From today on, it knew that the locust army would be defeated.

The rapid and majestic charge calls of the independent regiment were heard from all directions. Yoshizawa Tadao looked as pale as death, knowing that he could not escape today.

The Eighth Route Army soldiers who came from all directions like a tide overwhelmed the devils.

Tadao Yoshizawa, the Japanese lieutenant general and commander of a mixed brigade, was killed by a hail of bullets.

No prisoners were taken in this battle.

It was obvious that an entire regiment of the Japanese was wiped out in this battle, but for the independent regiment at that time it was just an everyday victory and was not surprising.

......

"Haha, not bad, not bad. Shen Quan is a very efficient guy. The battle lasted only over an hour from the beginning to now, and he wiped out all the Japanese.

Moreover, a Japanese brigade commander was killed.

Send a telegram to the headquarters quickly and tell the brigade commander, division commander and commander that this time we have wiped out all the devils in Datong in one fell swoop."

Li Yunlong's face was filled with an uncontrollable smile. He had fought against the Japanese a lot during this period of time, and even their brigade-level combat forces had been destroyed a lot. However, it was still rare to defeat a brigade of Japanese soldiers so easily as today.

"Zhang Dabiao, can you still fight now?"

"Report to the commander, our independent regiment's first battalion is on standby at all times and will follow the commander's instructions!"

Zhang Dabiao put on his military cap solemnly and saluted the regiment commander.

Li Yunlong nodded approvingly. Not bad, worthy of being a soldier of the independent regiment. Such spirit and vigor are quite good.

Zhang Dabiao lowered his body and said, "Captain, even if you want to lead us to fight the Japs' locusts today, our First Battalion will follow you immediately."

"You boy!"

Li Yunlong laughed and cursed.

"Don't talk nonsense. Send a telegram to the commander of the Third Battalion, Wang Huaibao, and tell him that his Third Battalion is the only one among the four battalions that has not fired a single shot.

I, Li Yunlong, will give him a chance and ask him to lead his troops to join us immediately. I will let him be the vanguard.

Target, Datong City!"

"Yes!"

Zhang Dabiao was instantly excited. He had just said that, but he didn't expect that the captain would really take him and others to attack Datong City.

Looking at the cheering officers, Li Yunlong knew very well that this opportunity to send troops was approved because Old Yu pleaded with the commander. He also had to take into account the strategic task of attracting the attention of the Japanese in Shanxi. His most important task in the future would be to ensure the security of Yuye and Ping'an Industrial Zone.

Since we are making trouble under orders, we might as well make it bigger and give the Japanese a little shock.

Li Yunlong lit a cigarette, why not just poke a hole in the sky?

Wang Huaibao, who was lying in ambush on another main road, was already full of anger. Why didn't the damn Yoshizawa Tadao take the road he had defended, and directly handed over such a great military achievement to Shen Quan? The thought of it made him feel suffocated.

Unexpectedly, a telegram from the head of the regiment made Wang Huaibao so happy. Now he was asked to lead the team to attack Datong City? This was a huge fortune.

Without any hesitation, Wang Huaibao made a prompt decision and had everyone head towards Datong City, fearing that if he was a minute late the commander would regret it and not let him lead the team to attack Datong City.

Tadao Yoshizawa, who had just died in a hail of bullets, might not have thought that even if the independent regiment's initial target was not Datong City, after all the Japanese devils in Datong were wiped out, taking back this city that originally belonged to the Chinese would be a piece of cake.

The two battlefields were not cleaned for the time being. Since there were no prisoners, no one dared to move them. The task of cleaning the battlefields was given to the commander of the fourth battalion, Lu Guoliang.

Anyway, all the Japanese who dared to resist are lying on the two battlefields. If other local armed forces dare to make any moves, Minister Yu will probably have to bring two 155 howitzers to ask if the shells are effective.

After all, with the case of Xie Baoqing from Heiyun Village, no one dared to take on this hot potato.

As the three battalions of the independent regiment marched toward Datong City, a number of high-ranking Japanese officials in Taiyuan City had already received the latest battle reports from Yukou Coal Mine, Yoshizawa Tadao's troops, and Datong City.

The entire Taiyuan North China Expeditionary Army's First Army Headquarters was as quiet as if all the Japanese were dead.

Even if a pin falls to the ground, you can hear the sound.

Except for the three high-ranking Japanese soldiers, Yoshio Shinozuka, Ningji Okamura and Prince Asaka Naruhiko, other Japanese soldiers involuntarily slowed down their pace when entering and leaving the headquarters, and even held their breath temporarily, for fear of attracting the attention of the three Japanese giants who were already on the verge of anger, thus bringing about a catastrophic disaster.

Especially Prince Asaka Naruhiko's face was so gloomy that water seemed to drip from it. He had never thought that an order of his would lead to the death of more than 3,000 Japanese soldiers in an entire regiment.

As a prince of the locust room of the devil, he came to Jin to supervise the war. As soon as he issued the first order, he encountered a disastrous defeat and killed more than 3,000 locust soldiers. This was tantamount to a slap in the face, making it lose all face.

When the Japanese Prince Asaka Naruhiko was in the military, he heard that the Chinese army in Shanxi was very powerful, especially a team called the Eighth Route Army Independent Regiment, which had extremely strong combat effectiveness. He did not expect to encounter it in the first battle after arriving in Shanxi, and gave it a warning.

An entire brigade was completely wiped out without even a chance to make a move in front of the independent regiment, and not even a single Japanese soldier managed to break out in an organized manner.

The Japanese prince was very angry, and he wanted to immediately dispatch other locust troops to wipe out this team. However, he encountered a very embarrassing problem. Jin had just suffered a disastrous defeat with the loss of 80,000 Japanese. Where could it mobilize combat troops above the brigade level to attack the independent regiment?

Compared with the anger of the Japanese prince, Yoshio Shinozuka, as the highest commander of the Japanese in Jin, thought about a more pragmatic problem, that is, now almost all the locust troops in Datong have been "destroyed", so what should be done with Datong City?

When he thought of this, Yoshio Shinozuka broke out in a cold sweat all over his body.
