It was too much fun on the battlefield, but after coming down, Shen Long was given a good training by Zhao Gang, after all, although this kind of behavior was angry, it did not conform to the discipline of the People's Liberation Army. Not to mention that he will return in the future.

Shen Long followed Li Yunlong around Yuncheng from May to December, and fought three battles in a row; The first battle cleared the enemy forces on the periphery of Yuncheng, so frightened that the Guo army hurriedly dispatched four brigades of fresh troops from the northwest battlefield to come to the rescue, in order to avoid heavy casualties and preserve strength, Li Yunlong and they temporarily withdrew.

By July, in order to cooperate with the brother troops to advance into southwest Lu and western Henan, and turn to the outside line to fight, Li Yunlong and they began the second siege of Yuncheng, the defenders of Yuncheng were besieged by regiments, and the Guo army once again urgently sent four brigades from the Sanmenxia area to cross the Yellow River north to reinforce Yuncheng; The Yuncheng front-line command immediately made a decision to abandon the general attack on Yuncheng and to withdraw all the remaining troops to fight and fight on the Pinglu Duma Wall, except for a small number of troops to continue to surround Yuncheng on the periphery.

In December, the time was finally ripe to take Yuncheng, Shen Long followed Li Yunlong to launch a general attack, after a fierce battle, Shen Long's special battalion once again made a great achievement, they through the tunnel operation, dug a crypt under the city wall of Yuncheng, and placed two tons of explosives in it, due to the use of more powerful explosives and more scientific charging methods, the explosives used this time were a whole ton less than in the original history.

The power of the explosion did not decrease or even greatly enhanced, in one fell swoop the city wall was blown open a gap of more than 30 meters wide, the troops quickly attacked the city, after fierce street fighting, to the next morning all annihilated the defenders, occupied the whole city, at the same time, the defenders of Anyi Town were also mostly annihilated in the breakthrough, after the advance of the reinforcements of the fruit army crossed the Yellow River, the city was lost, and then retreated to the south bank of the Yellow River.

This battle also eliminated thousands of Japanese devils who remained in Yuncheng, and also captured many prisoners, and the propaganda department announced the truth of these captives to the whole country, and the whole country was in an uproar, and Li Yunlong and Shen Long also breathed a bad breath.

Since then, Yuncheng was officially taken by the People's Liberation Army, occupy Yuncheng, the west can attack Guanzhong, the south can threaten the Longhai Railway, it is of great strategic significance to consolidate the Jinnan region, and the PLA has also obtained a huge salt production area, Yuncheng has been the salt industry center of the Hedong region since ancient times, which not only greatly alleviates the problem of salt difficulty in the liberated area, but also provides sufficient raw materials for the chemical industry.

After inspecting the salt production in Yuncheng, Shen Long helped them improve the production process and left a lot of valuable information before following Li Yunlong to the north.

After the Battle of Yuncheng, most of Jinnan had been liberated, leaving only Linfen, an isolated city; After two months of repair, Li Yunlong's division began to attack Linfen again, Yan Laoxi and Guojun deployed heavy troops in Linfen, and used Japanese engineers to urgently strengthen the construction of city fortifications, creating certain difficulties for the PLA to attack Linfen.

However, with the strengthening of the production capacity of the rear arsenal, Li Yunlong's division was equipped with more and more rocket artillery, and this extremely suitable weapon for attacking fortifications shone in this war, greatly reducing the casualties of the People's Liberation Army and shortening the time to take Linfen.

From the beginning of March to the end of April, after more than 50 days of fierce fighting, the tunnel operation was again used to approach the city wall, and then Shen Long's special battalion planted explosives, which blew two long gaps in the city wall, and finally attacked the city; In this battle, the People's Liberation Army suffered 8,000 casualties and annihilated 30,000 enemies, and finally won a complete victory in the Linfen offensive battle.

It's just that Li Yunlong and Shen Long are so mixed, and the famous "Linfen Brigade" in the original history seems to be about to be replaced, and Li Yunlong's division has undertaken the task of attacking fortifications.

After the end of this battle, all the enemy troops in the southern Jinnan area were cleared, and the remaining Japanese troops in Shanxi lost one-third, and these little devils were not able to save Yan Laoxi's inevitable defeat; According to the relevant international law, these little devils are not entitled to the treatment that prisoners of war should be, and many of them are tried as war criminals, and the rest are required to serve various years of hard labor before being repatriated to Japan.

The next target of the People's Liberation Army was the Jinzhong region, and after only a little more than a month of rest after this battle, Shen Long followed Li Yunlong's division as the main force to participate in the Jinzhong Campaign.

After the two major battles of Yuncheng and Linfen, Li Yunlong's division got the baptism of blood and fire, and its strength became stronger and stronger, while the enemy's morale was getting lower and lower, and Li Yunlong's division was invincible, and it took only one month to cooperate with the army, and it took only one month to annihilate the Yan army, 14 Lianke counties, except for Taiyuan, all the Jinzhong regions were liberated.

In this battle, Shen Long also encountered the remnants of the Japanese army in Shanxi, and Li Yunlong's division caused huge damage to these little devils, and the remnants of the little devils fled back to Taiyuan.

After the war, Shen Long's statistics were compared with the results of his own reconnaissance in Taiyuan, and it was found that after the battle, the remaining Japanese troops in Shanxi had lost half of their men and horses, and almost all of the rest were concentrated in Taiyuan.

In the autumn, the Yan army dispatched seven divisions to attack south along the east of the Fen River and west of the Nantongpu Railway, in an attempt to break through the PLA's forward positions to loot grain, capture strong men, and sabotage the PLA's pre-war preparations.

Li Yunlong's division immediately launched an attack, annihilating the 44th and 45th divisions of the Yan army successively, and then captured the Wusu Airport and Beiying Railway Station and the Shizuizi position southeast of Taiyuan, opening the southern gate of the Dongshan pillbox defense line.

In order to cooperate with the Pingjin Campaign, the General Commander decided to temporarily postpone the Taiyuan Campaign, so Li Yunlong's division temporarily stopped the pace of the offensive and began to continue to use the surrendered Guo Army to expand its forces.

By the end of the Pingjin Campaign, Li Yunlong's forces had expanded to a column, Li Yunlong was promoted again and became the commander of the column, and Zhao Gang also became the political commissar of the column.

Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang are much higher than their positions in the same period in the original book, although they did not catch up with the three major battles, but they were invincible in Shanxi and made a great reputation, and if they want to be awarded the title in the future, they will definitely be more than major generals, and the only regret may be that they did not meet Chu Yunfei again.

In April, the final battle to liberate Shanxi finally arrived.
