Dagushan, 358th Regiment of Shanxi-Sui Army.

Inside the regiment headquarters, regiment leader Chu Yunfei and chief of staff Fang Ligong were studying the map.

Both of them felt that there would definitely be a bloody battle when the independent regiment attacked Niangzi Pass.

You won't be able to get it in one day.

Chu Yunfei's plan was that when the Independent Regiment fell into a stalemate, the 358th Regiment would help and conquer Niangzi Pass in one fell swoop.

This would not only allow Li Yunlong to owe Chu Yunfei a favor, but also explain it to Chief Yan. At that time, it would also be possible to publicize that the 358th Regiment of the Jinsui Army had recaptured Niangzi Pass.

It is simply a plan that kills three birds with one stone.

Just as Chu Yunfei and Fang Ligong were discussing the details of dispatching troops, adjutant Sun Ming hurriedly walked into the regiment headquarters.

"Report to the regiment, Chief of Staff!"

"According to the latest news from the scouts!"

"Niangzi Pass was captured by the Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army in just half an hour, and all the Japanese and puppet troops in Niangzi Pass were wiped out!"

"What did you say?" Fang Ligong's pupils shrank slightly when he heard this, "The Independent Regiment captured Niangzi Pass in half an hour? Is this news true?"

"It should be true!" Sun Ming said, "It's the information just sent by the scouts!"

"It's simply unimaginable!" Chu Yunfei narrowed his eyes slightly and said in shock, "Has the independent regiment's combat effectiveness become so strong?"

In this way, his plan of killing three birds with one stone becomes a joke. Before you even make up your mind to send troops, Li Yunlong has already finished the work.

Sun Ming added: "The intelligence also said that the independent regiment ambushed the enemy's main force in Niangzi Pass in the wild. When attacking Niangzi Pass, they called in air support to bomb Niangzi Pass, and then the infantry charged and captured it.

Arrived at Niangziguan."

"What? Air support?" Chu Yunfei asked hurriedly, "Where did Li Yunlong get the air support? How could the Eighth Route Army have planes?"

Sun Ming said: "This... I'm not sure, but what the scouts saw seemed to be a Japanese plane. By the way, the scouts also saw the planes airdropping weapons and ammunition to the independent regiment from a distance."

When Chu Yunfei and Fang Ligong heard this, they immediately looked at each other.

This intelligence news is really incredible.

The Japanese planes fought for the Eighth Route Army and also airdropped weapons to the Eighth Route Army?

Am I crazy, or is the world crazy?

Chu Yunfei was puzzled and could only sigh: "Let the scouts withdraw!"

…

About half an hour later, Sun Ming came to report again: "Regiment seat, Chief of Staff Fang, the scouts just sent news that the Independent Regiment robbed a train and, together with a large group of Eighth Route Cavalry, headed west along Zhengtai Road.

went."

"What?" Chu Yunfei asked in surprise, "What does Li Yunlong want to do?"

Fang Ligong turned around and found the location of Niangziguan on the map on the wall, then quickly swept his eyes eastward along Zhengtai Road, and finally settled on the location of Yangquan.

"Tuanzu!" Fang Ligong said, "I'm afraid Li Yunlong wants to attack Yangquan!"

"Hit Yangquan?" Chu Yunfei was suddenly startled and immediately turned to look at the map on the wall. His expression quickly changed from shock to determination.

"Of course, Li Yunlong may also want to conquer the county seat." Fang Ligong analyzed, "But based on my understanding of Li Yunlong, when two pieces of meat, one large and one small, were placed in front of him, he must have picked the bigger piece to eat.

"

"No, brother Ligong, you are wrong!" Chu Yunfei said, "If two pieces of fat were really placed in front of Li Yunlong, he would not choose, he... would want them all!"

Fang Ligong was about to refute, but after thinking about it carefully, he found that Li Yunlong's character was really like this.

Chu Yunfei thought for a moment, and then his eyes narrowed: "Adjutant Sun, pass my order, the whole group must assemble!"

"Yes!" Sun Ming saluted with a military salute and walked quickly outside.

Fang Ligong looked as if he had guessed something, and asked quickly: "Tuanzuo, are you ready to send troops to Yangquan?"

"That's right!" Chu Yunfei said, "Seeing the independent regiment winning consecutive battles makes me feel bad and feel uncomfortable all over."

"But... Commander Yan of the World War II Zone has given repeated orders to cooperate with the Eighth Route Army in combat operations. It requires a written order from the commander of the war zone. Otherwise, not a single soldier is allowed to be mobilized!"

"I know this!" Chu Yunfei said, "However, we stood still during the battle at Cangyunling. Li Yunlong broke through the encirclement and killed the headquarters of the Bantian Regiment, killing the captain of the Sakata Regiment. We also stood still when the Independent Regiment attacked Niangzi Pass.

Niangziguan was captured in half an hour. If the independent regiment attacks Yangquan and we still stand still, then only the Eighth Route Army can take credit for recovering Yangquan."

"Okay then..." Fang Ligong said, "I wrote in the report to the superior department that we are taking the initiative this time and are not cooperating with the Eighth Route Army to prevent the truth from being true."

…

Kaihe Temple.

Li Yunlong pointed at the map and said: "Look, here is Yangquan, and here is Fengzhang Mountain, the gateway to Yangquan. As long as we can capture Fengzhang Mountain, we can push it all the way to Yangquan City. According to the news from the leading troops of our independent regiment,

, the Japanese have received the news and deployed heavy troops in Fengzhang Mountain. Within half an hour, the independent regiment will open this gap."

Ding Wei stared at the map and analyzed: "When I came here, I used a telescope to look at Fengzhang Mountain. It can be said that it is easy to defend but difficult to attack, and there are many bunkers. Can your independent group take it in half an hour? Old Li

, you’re not bragging, are you?”

Commander Cheng Shifa was also full of disbelief. The independent regiment was already so strong that it could break through the 2000-day puppet defense line in half an hour?

Commander Ma Renxing said: "Commander Li, why not leave Fengzhang Mountain to our cavalry regiment, and I can take it down in 20 minutes instead of half an hour!"

"No!" Li Yunlong said immediately, "The cavalry regiment suffered too many casualties in a frontal charge. This business is not worth it. We are here to make a fortune, not a loss-making business."

Ding Wei asked: "Lao Li, what are you going to do?"

Li Yunlong said: "Of course we can't take down Fengzhang Mountain in half an hour with ground troops alone."

"Why, Lao Li." Commander Cheng Shifa sneered, "Is it possible that in addition to ground troops, Li Yunlong also has air troops?"

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Ding Wei also looked at Li Yunlong with a surprised expression.

Li Yunlong chuckled and said, "You really got it right this time, Blind Cheng, I really have an air force."

"You, Li Yunlong, can you die if you don't brag?" Commander Cheng Shifa looked like he didn't want to amuse me, "If your independent group really can't do it, let us join the 772nd group. If you don't dare to guarantee it for half an hour, give me three hours.

I will definitely take down the Fengzhang Mountain position in three hours!"

"Three hours?" Li Yunlong said, "Even if I give you thirteen hours, you may not be able to win it. Have you forgotten the battle at Lijiapo? We fought the Yamazaki Battalion for a whole day and still didn't win it!"

Captain Cheng Shifa suddenly said in embarrassment: "Li Yunlong, why don't you open which pot?"

Ding Wei quickly advised: "Let's not worry about what happened before. It will be a matter of time before we capture Fengzhang Mountain. After capturing Fengzhang Mountain, the siege will be the highlight. Lao Li, do you have any plans?"

Li Yunlong said: "After Fengzhang Mountain is captured, we will drive straight in, directly to the foot of Yangquan City. Our current strength is mainly three infantry regiments and one cavalry regiment. Lao Ding, Lao Cheng and I have three regiments from the east and west,

Each city in the north will choose a city gate in one direction to attack. There will be no feint attacks, it will be the main attack. Whichever regiment enters first will be counted as the first, and the bulk of the captured supplies will be taken!"

Ding Wei thought about it and asked: "There are only three main attack directions, and what about the city gate towards the south gate?"

"Considering that the cavalry regiment is not good at attacking fortresses," Li Yunlong said, "Old Ding transferred your cavalry regiment and my cavalry battalion to the commander of the horse regiment to form a temporary cavalry brigade and ambush outside the south gate without showing its head."

The Jizhong Cavalry Regiment itself has 1,200 cavalry, plus the cavalry battalion of the independent regiment and the cavalry company of the new regiment, that is 1,600 cavalry.

During this period, more than 600 cavalry could be considered a cavalry regiment, 23,000 cavalry could be called a cavalry division, and 1,600 cavalry could even dare to charge head-on with a Japanese cavalry unit.

"Old Li, your method is very good!" Ding Wei thought, "If the Japanese and puppet troops don't escape from the south gate, it doesn't matter. Once they dare to leave the city, they will become meat on the chopping board of the cavalry brigade. The knife can be used at any time.

It can fall on their heads."

Zhao Gang also said: "This move is called 'Besiege the Army' in the art of war. It is an extremely vicious move used in ancient times and even today when attacking a city, but it is very useful."

This method was not used in the previous attack on Yushe County. The main reason was that the troops had a huge advantage. The troops were seven or eight times that of the Japanese.

But at present, the four regiments add up to less than 10,000 people, and there are also cavalry regiments that are not good at siege, which means that there are only three infantry regiments that can be used to attack the city.

Excluding the cavalry units and reserves of the Independent Regiment and the New Regiment, there were only slightly more people able to participate in the siege than the Japanese and puppet troops.

Needless to say, the Japanese troops in the city will definitely co-exist and die with the city, but there are still a large number of puppet troops in the city. Knowing that they will die in a battle between trapped beasts, the puppet troops will definitely resist desperately and cause heavy casualties to the Eighth Route Army, but if they remain

If the puppet army has a way out, the puppet army will lose their fighting spirit if they have a way out.

Cheng Shifa asked again: "We are all attacking the city, so who will stop it?"

Li Yunlong pointed at the map and said.

"Those who can summon armed forces to support Yangquan in a short period of time include Meng County in the north, Shouyang County in the west, and Pingding County in the south."

"Send a main infantry company in each direction to block the attack, and at the same time let the county brigade and guerrillas cooperate."

"Large-scale Japanese reinforcements are only coming from two directions: Taiyuan and SJZ."

"We must capture Yangquan before the Japanese reinforcements arrive from these two directions and retreat with the captured materials and weapons!"

"Do you have any other comments?"

Several regimental leaders and political commissars looked at each other and said nothing, indicating that they had no objections.
