Chapter 451 Li Yunlong is not scary, the real scary one is that college student, he must be killed!
Li Yunlong looked at the map in his hand with a very solemn expression on his face. This time, the surprise attack was like snatching food from a tiger's mouth. If he wanted to avoid being surrounded by the Japanese, he had to fight quickly and decisively. From the start to the end of the battle, it must not exceed two hours, otherwise there would be a risk of being surrounded.
"Da Biao, judging from the map, the defenders of Niangzi Pass will not be deployed unless it is an emergency. Niangzi Pass is located in a strategic location and is very important to Taiyuan City. The Japanese will never mobilize the troops here unless it is absolutely necessary."
"In order to force the defenders of Niangzi Pass to continue to stay there, I plan to have college students send out fighter planes to bomb Niangzi Pass to create the illusion that we are going to attack Niangzi Pass. Then we will send out two armored battalions, one heavy artillery battalion, and two mechanized infantry battalions to launch a surprise attack on the Pingding Gold Mine. The remaining battalion will guard our retreat and retreat immediately after we succeed. We will be able to safely evacuate the Pingding Gold Mine before the Japanese reinforcements arrive."
"Burn all the supplies that cannot be taken away. Don't leave any for the Japanese. Send an urgent telegram to the college students tomorrow night. After sending the telegram, continue to maintain no radio and silence. Don't let the Japanese find our current location."
Li Yunlong had already thought about how to fight this battle. This time he was just trying to take advantage of the enemy and had no intention of fighting the enemy to death. During the retreat, Li Yunlong would no longer be as cautious as he had been when he came. Instead, he would use fierce firepower to pry open the enemy's tortoise shell and break through the siege from the front to return to the base.
Inside the Shimada Regiment Command Headquarters in Ping'an County, the lights were on and a combat meeting against Li Yunlong was underway.
"Everyone, based on our understanding of Li Yunlong, he will never swallow this humiliation and will definitely find ways to retaliate. This will be a great opportunity for us. Although we have not received the news of Li Yunlong's attack yet, I still believe that Li Yunlong has already attacked, and the target will be set at a position we dared not think of before. I am definitely not exaggerating. I hope everyone can be vigilant and not let Li Yunlong's conspiracy succeed in any case!" Hirata Kojiro was the first to stand up and made a shocking speech.
Yamamoto Ikki did not stand up to support him because of their relationship. He continued calmly, "According to the intelligence transmitted by the special agent team that infiltrated the base of the independent regiment, our enemy has entered a wartime state, which makes it difficult for us to conduct intelligence gathering and assassination work. We have to withdraw. From this point, it can be confirmed that Li Yunlong is likely to have led his troops to attack. We really need to be vigilant."
"But there's no need to be too anxious. Li Yunlong is only a human, not a god. Even if he goes out, he won't bring many troops with him. 5000 is already the limit. As long as we tighten the blockade, it will be no problem to find Li Yunlong before he launches an attack."
Nakamura Ichiro had a different opinion this time. He thought that the most important thing to pay attention to should be the independent regiment's air force. He thought that everyone in front of him had misunderstood and had not noticed the real danger. He coughed lightly to attract everyone's attention, and then Nakamura Ichiro said slowly: "Everyone, I think you are all in the wrong direction. What we really need to pay attention to should be the enemy's air force. We have always looked down on the independent regiment's air force, but the air raids in the past two days have told us one thing, that is, the independent regiment's air force has formed combat effectiveness, and the number of its pilots has reached 500, which is completely beyond our imagination."
"The independent regiment is now equipped with more than 200 fighter planes. There are many types of fighter planes, including fighter planes for air combat, transport planes for transportation, dive bombers for precision bombing, horizontal bombers for ordinary bombing, and even a ground attack aircraft for ground support. This is the latest information from the mole."
"The spies we planted in the Independence Regiment have been basically wiped out. Now the only one that can still play a role is the Mole Squad. The intelligence force deployed has been severely weakened. If we want to rebuild in a short period of time, we can only think of ways to get help from the disaster victims. However, this is a process that requires long-term lurking. It will be more difficult to obtain more confidential information from the Independence Regiment in a short period of time."
"I think we should report to the Taiyuan Headquarters immediately and request that the air strike plan be carried out in advance. No matter how much it costs, we must first destroy the independent regiment's fighter planes and knock out its air transport line. This is our most urgent task at the moment."
Chief of Staff Ippei Mitsui did not allow Nakamura Ichiro to continue speaking, and said in a depressed tone: "It is difficult to carry out the strike against the Independent Regiment Air Force in a short period of time. Since the Empire's southward plan, the fuel supply in the China battlefield has been tightened. Now the southward plan is going very smoothly, and the second phase of the operation is being carried out according to the predetermined combat objectives. We want to obtain reinforcements of fighter planes and fuel, but it is very difficult in a short period of time."
"According to my estimate, we will not be able to get the second batch of fighters promised by the headquarters until the end of April or the beginning of May. With the 56 fighters in the hands of Major General Fujiwara, we can't support the entire sky of Shanxi Province. Moreover, Taiyuan City is related to the foundation of our 12th Army. The commander will never agree to such a risky action. Once we lose all the fighters in our hands and lose air superiority on the battlefield, it will be a very terrible scenario for us."
"The reason why the independent regiment's armored forces dare not deploy on a large scale is that they are afraid of our bombers. If we lose all our fighter planes, the restless Li Yunlong will definitely not sit idly by and will take this opportunity to launch a large-scale counterattack against us, which is unbearable for us."
"We have always underestimated Li Yunlong, but now we can no longer underestimate him. There are three main regiments stationed in northwest Shanxi alone, with a total force of more than 2, which is the strength of four Chinese regular divisions. If we want to wipe them out, we must dispatch 3 to divisions. Especially when the enemy's weapons and equipment have surpassed ours, if we still hold on to our previous views, it will only put ourselves in great trouble."
Mitsui Ippei did not say some of the things too bluntly. He knew clearly that the southward plan represented a victory for the Navy Department, and the Army Department would only give back after it had reaped enough benefits.
"Mr. Chief of Staff, I think you are a little too optimistic. Even if we dispatch three divisions, it will be very difficult to capture the base of the Independent Regiment. According to the intelligence we have collected in the past few months, the Independent Regiment has been building fortifications and deploying large fortress artillery, which can pose a huge threat to us. Without the help of the aviation force, we have no way to deal with such large-caliber fortress artillery."
"The guns on our tanks are only 45mm, and the large-caliber mountain guns are only 75mm. So far, we don't have any heavy artillery. If we want to mobilize heavy artillery, we can only ask Taiyuan Headquarters for help, but at most we can only mobilize one heavy artillery battalion, which is already the limit. Our 12th Army only has two heavy artillery battalions in total. This is the foundation of our 12th Army, and we will never use it unless it is absolutely necessary."
"But it is difficult for the 105mm and 120mm heavy artillery in our hands to easily destroy the enemy's fortress artillery. To be precise, it is difficult to bombard the enemy's fortress artillery while ensuring our own safety. After all, the range difference between the two sides is as much as four or five kilometers."
"Without the help of the air force, we can only risk the lives of our warriors. The worst thing is that we will pay a huge price and still fail to capture the enemy's fortifications!"
Shimada Jiro's speech did not save any face, completely tearing off the last fig leaf of the Japanese, losing air superiority. Even if they could seize the enemy's fortress fortifications, they would not be approved by the Taiyuan Command. Such a big loss was absolutely unbearable for the 12th Army. The temperature in the whole room dropped sharply, and everyone's face looked bad. This really touched their pain points. Without the support of the air force, they always felt a little insecure. These Japanese officers fighting on the front line were not fools. They clearly realized how important the air force played in the battle.
"Everyone, my Shimada Corps has only been stationed in Ping'an County for ten days. I don't know as much about Li Yunlong as those present here, but I know clearly that Li Yunlong is not a scary person. The real scary person is the college student with multiple identities. This person is the real source of Li Yunlong's confidence. The reason why Li Yunlong's independent regiment has been able to develop so rapidly is that 80% of the credit should be attributed to this person. This is not me deliberately flattering this person, but it is indeed the case."
"The assassination operation against this person must not stop. We must find ways to kill him. Don't worry about the technology he has. For us, killing him is equivalent to eliminating 100,000 enemy soldiers. In this competition and reduction, we are the real winners."
"After the technical data stolen from the independent regiment was sent to the mainland, many achievements were made. After further improvements, the Zero fighter became the king of the sky in the war to the south. It has stronger horsepower, and even the weak defense is gradually being made up. This is something we did not expect before."
"The special aluminum alloy formula can enhance our strength in all aspects, but it also shows how terrible this person is. Since we can't get him, let's kill him. This is also my consistent idea. If we can't solve the problem, then we can solve the person who can create the problem, even though this will bring a series of harms. We can only compromise temporarily because we have to choose the lesser of two evils."
