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

Chapter 435 Yoshio Shinozuka: I suggest that you let Tanaka Hisaichi attack the Liaoyuan Arsenal!

"Old Yu, do you think we can win this time?"

Li Yunlong is feeling very aggrieved now. Ever since the battle of Ping'an County, he hasn't had the chance to fight in any big battles. This makes him, a man who has been fighting in the hail of bullets, feel a little uncomfortable.

When I asked the headquarters, there was only one response. Now there is Ping'an County and the Liaoyuan Arsenal, and even Yu Ye is the core of the core, and no mistakes are allowed.

Because Yu Ye's experience has proved that even if this guy is unarmed, he can build a huge arsenal from scratch, no, almost an entire industrial system.

This is strategic-level talent.

"We can definitely win."

Yu Ye was concentrating on the parts in his hand. This was the proximity fuze sample that had just been handed to him this morning. He was carefully disassembling and studying it, trying to analyze his apprentice's shortcomings from a teacher's perspective.

"How do you know we can win? There are 100,000 devils there. According to the previous casualties, we need at least 500,000 Chinese troops to win or even draw."

Li Yunlong looked at the map. Although he was not too worried, he did not look relaxed.

After all, they were facing 100,000 Japanese devils, and their teammates were second- and third-rate troops of the National Army with relatively low combat effectiveness. No matter how they thought about it, they were worried.

"Don't worry, if I say I can win, I will definitely win!"

Yu Ye reluctantly put down the fuse in his hand and spoke in the most determined tone.

"What?"

"Because that's the commander, because that's the division commander!"

Yu Ye didn't even mention the various equipment he had made. He felt that as long as these two people were there, it would be enough.

"Oh, it would be great if our Lao Li could also join this battle."

Li Yunlong was very melancholy.

"Don't worry, Lao Li, you will be the one to fight when the time comes."

Yu Ye shook his head and buried his head in his proximity fuse again.

He knew that at this time, on the outskirts of the Zhongtiao Mountain battlefield in southern Shanxi, there must be tens of thousands of comrades holding Type 56 submachine guns produced by the Liaoyuan Arsenal, forming a gradually shrinking encirclement.

The Japanese will be caught in a trap.

......

Taiyuan.

As a veteran of many battles, Ningji Okamura felt very bad at this moment, as if an invisible rope was strangled around his neck.

Not right.

It's not right.

The fighting in southern Shanxi was so lively, but in northern Shanxi it was surprisingly quiet.

This is totally unreasonable.

According to past experience, once such a large-scale battle broke out, the Eighth Route Army would launch various harassment campaigns in the enemy's rear battlefield, preventing the locust army from concentrating on fighting the regular army of the National Army.

However, this time, the rest of Jin was too quiet, and it felt unusually strange.

Ningji Okamura put down the battle report in his hand, looked at the huge battle map in the command room, and said to his lieutenant: "Go and see where the Eighth Route Army in Jin is now. I am a little worried."

"Hai!"

The assistant officer received the order and immediately started to do it.

"Wait, you can seek help from Yoshio Shinozuka on this matter. After all, he has been in charge of Jin for such a long time and is familiar with the various armed forces in Jin."

At such a critical moment, Ningji Okamura finally chose to trust Yoshio Shinozuka's experience.

Because these five tanks appeared out of nowhere and disrupted his established strategy, he was very worried that some new weapons would appear out of nowhere, and he would be unable to cope with it again.

While asking the lieutenant to ask Yoshio Shinozuka for advice, he immediately ordered the 12th Brigade to break through the Kuomintang's defense line at all costs and to separate the Kuomintang's Fifth Army and Fourteenth Army before noon tomorrow.

Yoshio Shinozuka, who was originally in charge of assisting the front battlefield in Zhongtiao Mountain, was suddenly called over. Along the way, he heard the officer say that he wanted to ask about the situation of the Eighth Route Army in Shanxi, so Yoshio Shinozuka had some guesses.

"Mr. Shinozuka, I have a bad feeling now. The area in northern Shanxi is too quiet right now, especially the northwest part of Shanxi where the Eighth Route Army base is located. There is no sign of harassment at all.

I wonder if they are planning a large-scale attack.”

Since this matter was related to the victory or defeat of the entire North China Expeditionary Army in the Zhongtiao Mountain Campaign, Okamura Neiji had to put aside his previous prejudice against Shinozuka Yoshio and asked straight to the point.

“General, it’s not that I don’t want to give you my advice. It’s mainly because I am the direct commander of the battle in the Zhongtiao Mountain area in southern Shanxi this time, and I have already put all my energy into this battle.

The grasp of the movements of the Eighth Route Army's armed forces was indeed not sharp enough.

In addition, this part of the work was handed over to Division Commander Tanaka Kyuichi at the beginning of this year, so there are fewer inquiries."

Yoshio Shinozuka looked into Neiji Okamura's eyes with a very honest look, and it was obvious that he was not lying.

"Um......"

Okamura Neiji frowned, this was a bit difficult.

"Then there is another situation. As the direct commander, you must be very familiar with the first-hand battle reports on the scene. The 9th Brigade was attacked by unknown armored firepower in the direction of the Fifth Army of the National Army.

The offensive rhythm has been disrupted. What do you think of this matter? "

Since you can't explain clearly about the Eighth Route Army in northern Shanxi, you must at least understand the situation of the front-line battle in southern Shanxi.

"General, I learned about this situation immediately, and my judgment is consistent with yours. After I received your order for the 9th Brigade to complete the division of the Fifth and Fourteenth Army Groups, I immediately passed it on.

As for the unknown armored firepower attack you mentioned, I actually have some guesses."

Yoshio Shinozuka looked into Okamura Neiji's eyes without dodging and spoke frankly.

"Tell me what you think?"

There was a hint of urgency in Ningji Okamura's voice. He was confused and urgently needed someone who was very familiar with the armed forces of Jin to explain it to him.

"General, my judgment is actually very simple. This is a tank from the Eighth Route Army Independent Regiment."

Shinozuka Yoshio said with a somewhat confident tone.

"what?"

Ningji Okamura made a sound full of surprise.

"Shinozuka-kun, why do you think this is a tank from the Eighth Route Army's independent regiment? I don't think the entire Eighth Route Army has any tanks. How can you be so sure that a regiment-level unit under their command that is not even officially organized can have such a powerful new tank?"

Ningji Okamura was filled with doubts.

"General, the independent regiment may have equipment that other units of the Eighth Route Army do not have. I also received a report from the battlefield, saying that these five tanks have not even been painted, and they were obviously produced in a hurry.

In this case, I think there is only one possibility, that is, the Eighth Route Army's Liaoyuan Arsenal that was guarded by the Independent Regiment.

This is the only possibility, there is no other possibility."

Yoshio Shinozuka said this with absolute certainty, without a trace of hesitation.

"Shinozuka-kun, are you so sure?"

"Yes, General. Apart from them, I really can't think of any other armed forces in Jin that can come up with such new weapons, including our Locust Army."

Shinozuka Yoshio said with increasing certainty.

"this......"

Ningji Okamura still found it a little unbelievable.

"General, seeing that you are so incredulous, and you want to find out the movements of the Eighth Route Army in Shanxi, I have a very simple solution."

"Oh? Shinozuka-kun, tell me about it?"

"General, the most important core asset of the Eighth Route Army is currently the Liaoyuan Arsenal located in Ping'an County. If we can send an elite force to attack their Liaoyuan Arsenal, wouldn't all these questions be solved?"

Yoshio Shinozuka said patiently and kindly.

"Ok?"

There was a gleam of light in Ningji Okamura's eyes. It was obvious that this plan made sense and could kill two birds with one stone.

If we can't take it down, we can also mobilize the Eighth Route Army in Shanxi to understand what their deployment is like. If we can take it down, it will be a great victory.

"Shinozuka-kun, who do you think would be the best person to send if we were to attack Ping'an County?"

"I think the best candidate is Commander Tanaka Kyuichi of the 21st Division. Besides, we have previously given them the task of dealing with the Independent Regiment."

There was a sinister glimpse in the depths of Yoshio Shinozuka's eyes.

Damn, when it comes to cheating people, I, Yoshio Shinozuka, will never show mercy.
