"At around twelve o'clock last night, the Zhangjiakou headquarters of the Mongolian army was attacked."

Yoshimoto hung up the phone, and there was a hint of happiness in his voice, which was very light, but Yamamoto still heard it, and Yamamoto also found that General Yoshimoto also seemed to be a little younger:

"Honjo Fan, all the jade of Qitian was broken, and he was seriously injured and unconscious last month."

"Nani?"

Yamamoto was shocked.

These three people, Zhuang Benfan, although he retired because he was involved in the 227 incident, he is also a general. Nanata, a former commander of the Mongolian Army, a lieutenant general of the empire, is about to be transferred back to the General Staff Headquarters, a powerful figure. Last month, the new commander of the army stationed in Mongolia was also a lieutenant general of the empire and a powerful figure.

Who is so powerful, kill one general, two imperial lieutenant generals overnight.

This is simply a perfect special operation!

Special Operations···

Thinking of this, Yamamoto suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and suddenly thought of Li Yunlong, who kept him awake all night.

"And it's not even clear who the attackers are."

Yoshimoto continued.

This sentence made Yamamoto's speculation in his heart more and more certain.

The people who attacked the headquarters of the army stationed in Mongolia must have been the people from Li Yunlong's faction, and the information provided by Chen Fan was the only one who had the ability to do this.

As the commander of the special squad, Yamamoto is well aware.

Zhangjiakou, as the headquarters of the Mongolian army, although there is no city wall on the Taiyuan side, but the headquarters of an army is stationed, the degree of vigilance will not be low, and it is impossible to find the opportunity to attack and kill three generals at the same time, without sufficient intelligence.

"General, did Your Excellency Gangcun tell me about the specific process of the attack?"

Yamamoto asked deliberately.

If the attack on Zhangjiakou was really Li Yunlong, then it would be a good thing for the First Army.

"After their party, on the way from the headquarters to the residence, they were hit by a bomb, and it is estimated that the attackers used about 400 kilograms of explosives, and the entire convoy suffered heavy losses."

Gibbon replied.

"High-yield bomb attacks."

Yamamoto narrowed his eyes.

"You said Li Yunlong did it."

Although Yoshimoto aged more than ten years overnight, his IQ was still there, and he immediately understood the meaning of Yamamoto's words.

Planting large-yield bombs on the side of the road and detonating them by wires was the usual method of the Independent Regiment, and the First Army suffered many similar attacks, which were extremely difficult to defend against, and were extremely powerful, comparable to a heavy aerial bomb, and each time the Imperial Army suffered considerable losses.

"Very likely"

Yamamoto says:

"The confirmation is also very simple, Li Yunlong used potassium tung explosives, the composition of this explosive is different from yellow explosives and picric acid explosives, and the on-site investigation is easy to distinguish."

"If Li Yunlong did it..."

Yoshimoto narrowed his eyes as well.

He also realized that if it was handled well, it would be a good thing for the First Army.

From the perspective of the empire as a whole, the death of three generals is just a small matter.

The war has been fought for so long, and there is a shortage of grassroots soldiers and officers, but the senior generals are overcrowded, and the major generals and lieutenant generals add up to several brigades, and there are dozens of generals, and it is nothing to die three.

But one general, two lieutenant generals are killed, and the two lieutenant generals are still the commanders of the Mongolian army, the group of guys in the base camp will be very embarrassed, and the emperor will be angry, and will inevitably question public security issues, which will easily cause morale problems when it spreads, and be suppressed by the propaganda of the Republic of China.

Therefore, whether this matter is serious or not depends on whether the final impact is great.

If this matter can arouse the attention of the base camp to Li Yunlong, the three of them will die as they deserve. Taking a step back, it is not bad to arouse the attention of General Gangmura or Shunroku Hata to Li Yunlong.

It is impossible to encircle and suppress Li Yunlong with heavy troops, but it is also good to appropriately strengthen the strength of the First Army.

"I'll call General Gangcun right away."

Gibbon paused before speaking.

······

"Li Yunlong."

In Beiping, Okamura hung up the phone and muttered to himself in a low voice, with a bright horror on his face.

"Li Yunlong?"

Hearing Gangcun's words, the chief of staff on the side, Oshiroto Sanji, was also puzzled.

A long, long time ago, the name entered his ears.

Chen Fan, who was investigating with all his might by the Imperial Intelligence Section, had been providing weapons, ammunition and supplies to this Li Yunlong, which had exacerbated the security turmoil in North China, but the Imperial had investigated for so long, and even contacted German allies, but there was still no progress.

Yoshio Shinozuka stepped down because of this Li Yunlong, and even after stepping down, he was stunned to deal with Li Yunlong at any cost.

The name of this person also appeared several times in the documents recently sent to the headquarters of the Front.

According to the information that has been gathered recently, this Li Yunlong is leading his troops to set up a solid rear base in the mountainous areas of northwest Shanxi, wantonly organizing manpower to build roads, producing fields, expanding troops, and even recently starting to set up factories to produce gun parts and explosives, and the output is not low.

If it weren't for the fact that he was in a period of tension recently, he really couldn't draw troops, plus this Li Yunlong's strength was not bad, and he was located in a complex mountainous area, he would have ordered the First Army to encircle and suppress it with heavy troops.

"Yoshimoto speculated that the Zhangjiakou incident was done by this Li Yunlong."

Gangmura Ninji says:

"The method of attack is very similar to the roadside bombs often used by Li Yunlong, and Li Yunlong has a record of attacking high-ranking imperial generals many times, and Lieutenant General Yan Song died at his hands."

"Iwamatsu..."

Sanji Ojo frowned.

He remembered that Yan Song was killed by a roadside bomb on his way to become commander of the First Army, exactly the same thing that happened in Zhangjiakou yesterday, except that the explosive yield at that time was not as huge as Zhangjiakou.

"Does his independent regiment have this strength?"

Dachenghu Sanzhi looked at the map hanging on the wall, and found that Li Yunlong's area was more than 500 kilometers away from Zhangjiakou, and he immediately became suspicious, and the intelligence force of the Eighth Route Army could plan this attack?

This requires someone to inform the movements of the three commanders, as well as the vigilance forces in the vicinity, which is not easy information to obtain.

"At a distance of more than 500 kilometers, how can an infantry regiment pass through, and it can kill at the same time in one attack..."

Before the words of doubt were finished, Sanji Ojoto fell silent.

He thought of that Chen Fan again.

There is evidence that this person seems to have access to confidential information about the Empire, and there are more than one. In the Baoding Yansong Lieutenant General Jade Crushing Incident, Li Yunlong sent troops to travel hundreds of kilometers.

If this person provides information to Li Yunlong.

"Do you remember the naval gold of the Huai River?"

Gangmura Ningji reminded.

"Naturally, I remember."

Osehiro Sanji nodded:

"But this is just our speculation, there is no direct evidence."

"Yoshimoto gave a direction of investigation, Li Yunlong is producing potash tung explosives, as long as the traces left at the scene are investigated, confirm whether it is potash tung explosives, and whether there are any wires left, you can determine whether Li Yunlong did it."

Gangcun Ning looked at his chief of staff:

"Also, there was an incident that happened last night."

At this point, Gangmura Ningji's expression finally returned to calm:

"Li Yunlong mobilized nearly 8,000 troops, attacked the Zhengtai Railway head-on, shelled the Niangziguan Railway Station, snatched more than 5,000 meters of railroad tracks, and dismantled a complete train."

"More than 5,000 meters of railroad tracks were robbed? And dismantled a finished train? ”

Osehiro Sanji bites very heavily on the words 'more than 5,000 meters' and 'demolition':

"What is Sanichi Yoshimoto doing? Last time, he was robbed of more than a kilometer of railroad tracks, and this time it happened again, and it was even more serious than before, is his first army all waste? ”

As for eight thousand, he simply ignored it.

As far as he knew, there was a crowd of more than 50,000 people in the so-called base area of Li Yunlong's Independent Regiment who were building roads and factories, and the construction efficiency was so high, he was shocked.

The current war is no longer won by many people.

"Because."

Okamura Ninji took a deep breath to avoid his gaffe:

"The 8,000 troops who participated in the attack this time have unified standard weapons, light machine guns are widely used in squads, there are a large number of artillery units, there are no less than 20 heavy mortars of 120 caliber, and the total number of mortars is not less than 100, and they have sufficient ammunition and are well-trained."

"In last night's battle, the First Army mobilized nearly 6,000 people to intercept it, but not only failed to stop the other side, but also suffered 1,200 casualties and more than 600 jade pieces."

"Nani?!"

Oshiroto Sanji's face also showed horror.

Unified standard weapons, machine guns on duty, more than 20 120 heavy mortars, and a total of 100 caliber mortars show that the weapons and equipment of the Eighth Route Army dispatched last night were not weaker than or even slightly stronger than the elite second-line divisions of the empire.

In just one night's fighting, more than 6,000 troops of the First Army, a full-fledged brigade suffered casualties, and more than 600 jade pieces were crushed, which shows that this group of Eighth Route Army is well-trained and can bring into play the combat effectiveness of these weapons.

Comprehensive understanding, there is a strength comparable to half of the empire's second-class horse division entrenched in the mountainous area of northwest Shanxi, with the lack of various resources, the newly formed second-class division, that is, the second-line division,

"Didn't Yoshimoto say that Li Yunlong only had a total strength of 7,000 people, and most of them were new recruits?"

Oshiroto Sanji still remembers the information document that Yoshimoto submitted not long ago.

"The other party deliberately concealed the strength."

Gangcun Ningji sighed slightly:

"Then, we all overlooked one thing, China has abundant resources that the empire and the whole world envy."

"In the past, they lacked materials to mobilize this resource, but now, that Chen Fan has provided Li Yunlong with a huge amount of food, sufficient weapons and ammunition, and the guerrillas who have been entrenched in the mountains for a long time also have this organizational ability."

"According to Yoshimoto, the regular troops of Li Yunlong and the two surrounding Eighth Route Army troops are about 12,000 people, and they are still rapidly expanding."

"Twelve thousand, still expanding the army..."

Ojoto Sanji was stunned.

This force, if it is equipped with the equipment mentioned earlier, and the combat effectiveness it has shown, is basically not weaker than a slightly weaker second-line division of the empire.

After adding the large deep bunker group in its base area, if it wants to be annihilated, it needs the strength of two second-line divisions, that is, about 35,000 people, which is more than the total strength of the first army at present.

"Next month, you can go to Taiyuan to have a look."

Gangmura Ninji says:

"Let's see what's going on."

As the commander of a front army, he naturally would not judge the situation just by relying on a phone call.

"Hey."

Ojo Sanji bowed his head and left.

"Go and call General Shinozuka over."

Inside the headquarters, Gangmura Ningji said to a staff officer.

After the staff officer left, Gangcun Ningci looked at the map hanging on the wall, and his eyes focused on the mountainous area in the northwest of Shanxi.

He still remembered that at the end of the large-scale security battle in mid-December last year, Li Yunlong and his independent regiment suffered heavy losses, as did other units of the Eighth Route Army.

And how long has it been? It's grown to such an extent.

"If Li Yunlong is really as strong as Yoshimoto said, then..."

Okamura Ninji's eyes flashed.

The empire is very difficult now, but it is far from the time when the mountains and rivers are exhausted.

Moreover, as the materials from Southeast Asia began to enter the country, the supply situation of materials has also eased somewhat, and the intuitive manifestation is that the North China Front has obtained two percent more materials than before.

······

Nine o'clock in the afternoon of the same day.

After a night of rapid marching, Li Yunlong and his convoy had arrived at the mountainous horse road in the rear of Panxian County, and was resting in place at this time.

The terrain here is complicated, which is convenient for the team to avoid air threats, although it is also easy to be ambushed, but the Japanese army in Panxian County has been crippled, and the devils in the rest of the place have no time to rush over, and it is very safe.

"Guard Company."

Li Yunlong called a platoon of guards who came with him.

"Commander."

Several guards company fighters ran over.

The guard company is responsible for guarding the regiment headquarters, of course, this time the main thing is to protect the safety of the regiment commander, after all, the monk is not there, so he has not been assigned to carry supplies, and his physical strength is still abundant.

"Send someone..."

Before he finished speaking, Grand Master Li suddenly changed his tone:

"Send a report to the new 1st and 2nd regiments."

"Let Captain Ding and Captain Kong come over and distribute the supplies."

"Yes."

The soldiers of the guard company saluted and immediately ran to the fighters who were carrying the radio on their backs.

After some time.

In the troops of the new 2nd regiment.

"Divide the supplies?"

Kong Jie, who was returning to the garrison with his troops, sneered after receiving the order.

Although I don't know what Li Yunlong wants to do, it is definitely not a distribution of materials, the three of them discussed something when they were preparing to set up a base area, Li Yunlong will give it, and there will be no less, but if there is more, he needs to fight for it himself.

At the same time.

Ding Wei, who also returned to Zuojiazhuang with the troops, also sneered:

"Divide the supplies?"

······

On a mountain peak more than 100 kilometers away from Zhao Jiayu.

Ding····

The system panel expands automatically.

"Japanese Army General Shigeru Honjo died, and business was completed"

"Price code: two masters of metal machinery, the mall is refreshed, new materials are reinforced concrete, basic machine tools, ·······"

"The former commander of the Mongolian army, Lieutenant General Nanata, died, and the current commander died last month, ·······, the price code: a master of metal machinery, a master of chemical materials, and the amount of materials... Food quota ·····"

"New weapon unlocked in the mall: 160 mortar..."
