Chapter 537 Li Yunlong was ordered to support the Second Independent Regiment: Zhuzi, Congratulations, Old Li, on your fortune!
The screen pans to the Wusu Soldier Station.
Abe Kihide also knew what the destruction of the airport oil depot meant. After receiving the order from Shinozuka Yoshio from the headquarters, he immediately launched a fierce attack on the Eighth Route Army on the opposite side.
Unfortunately, due to the advance deployment of a large number of anti-tank mines and towed mines by the Second Independent Regiment, coupled with the use of incendiary bottles, the Japanese offensive was unable to make progress.
Not to mention the loss of troops, many tanks and armored vehicles were also destroyed.
As for the Wusu Military Station, it had entered the attack range of the artillery battalion of the Second Independent Regiment. As dense grenades poured down, the Second Independent Brigade, which had already suffered heavy casualties, was blown up.
Even the arrival of the 8th Independent Mixed Brigade and the 1st Armored Vehicle Group failed to reverse the situation, which only increased the pressure on the opposite Independent 2nd Regiment, that's all.
…
Set the time back to 10 minutes ago.
On a trail 10 kilometers south of Wusu Military Station, a large-scale Eighth Route Army unit was rushing toward Wusu Military Station.
At this moment, a striking red light suddenly rose from the ground, followed by a huge explosion that swept over the place like an overwhelming mountain.
The leader, with a head as big as a chamber pot, was none other than Li Yunlong, the leader of the new regiment.
Hearing this movement, Li Yunlong was suddenly startled, and then he called out: "Northeast, this is not the direction of Wusu Military Station, but it looks like Wusu Airport."
"Did this stupid Zhuzi, in addition to rescuing the captured Secretary Liu, actually attack Wusu Airport?"
"No wonder the brigade commander asked us to pick him up! This guy is so brave!"
"But I like it! Hehehehehe!——"
Li Yunlong had a lewd smile on his face.
This guy doesn't take things too seriously, but he feels very excited at this moment.
Ding Wei next to him frowned and said: "Old Li, if the pillars attack the airport, I'm afraid all the Japs in Taiyuan City will be gone. Why do you seem so excited?"
Li Yunlong: "Old Ding, you don't know this, right? There are only a few Japanese at Wusu Military Station? If we just attack Wusu Military Station, there is no need for Zhuzi to bring the entire Second Independent Regiment, and there is no need for us to come for reinforcements.
It's probably because the brigade commander knew that Zhuzi was going to attack the airport, so he asked us to come."
After a pause, Li Yunlong changed his voice and continued: "I even suspect that the brigade commander's purpose in letting us come to Taiyuan is not just to support the Second Independent Regiment, but to encourage us to go to the airport.
For example, if the pillars did not hit the airport, it would be our turn to appear."
When Ding Wei thought about it, it seemed that this was true. If he really wanted to take over the Second Independent Regiment, he could just send himself and Lao Kong. There was no need for Li Yunlong to come.
This guy is a master who doesn't take things too seriously. If there are no traps, he can poke a few traps out for you.
I hope he will be obedient and don't dream about it.
Especially after finally arriving near Taiyuan, if this guy doesn't make some noise, then he won't be Li Yunlong.
Ding Wei recovered his thoughts and said: "Old Li, your analysis makes sense. Since the pillars hit Wusu Airport, the Japanese in Taiyuan City will definitely come out in full force. We'd better rush over to meet them!"
"good!"
Li Yunlong nodded, and then raised his voice and ordered: "Everyone is here, speed up, and we must arrive at Wusu Airport in the shortest possible time!"
That's right, Li Yunlong directly changed his destination from Wusu Military Station to the airport. He had to join in the excitement.
…
Let’s talk about Wusu Airport.
At this moment, the battle here has ended, and Wang Chengzhu is leading the victorious division out of the airport and headed straight for the Wusu Military Station.
At this moment, the reconnaissance battalion commander Wang Shugen suddenly found the Type 97 medium tank Wang Chengzhu was riding in and stopped it.
"Captain, the brothers who were scouting outside have just received news that a brother force is rushing towards the airport."
Wang Chengzhu got out of the tank cabin with a confused look on his face: "Brothers' troops? Are you sure they are brothers' troops and not the Japanese troops who came to kill us?"
Wang Shugen: "That's right, it's the New Regiment and the Independent Regiment led by our old regiment commander and Ding Commander. The brothers in charge of reconnaissance have already contacted them."
Wang Chengzhu lowered his head and thought for a moment: "If that's the case, I don't think we need to retreat in a hurry."
Wang Shugen was surprised and said: "Commander, do you want to attack Taiyuan City?"
Wang Chengzhu: "It's impossible to capture Taiyuan City. Even if we have so many troops now, it's impossible to capture Taiyuan City.
You must know that even if Taiyuan City is empty of troops, the number of troops that can be mobilized is at least more than 10,000, and there is also a heavy artillery regiment in the city.
If the Japs are cornered, the Japs from Xincheng Airport will also take to the air to fight."
"Although the Japanese Air Force is not suitable for night combat, it does not mean that they cannot fight at night.
Especially fighting around Taiyuan City, it will not be too difficult for them."
Wang Shugen: "Commander, what do you mean, let's all work together to destroy the Xincheng Airport in the north of Taiyuan City?"
Wang Chengzhu shook his head: "The Japs at Xincheng Airport must have been alerted by now. We have lost the opportunity and it is impossible to approach Xincheng Airport quietly.
If we launch a strong attack and force the Japanese air force to take off for combat, even if we can destroy Xincheng Airport, we will definitely suffer heavy casualties, and we may not even be able to destroy Xincheng Airport."
After a pause, Wang Chengzhu changed the topic and continued: "So, my plan is to cooperate with the New Regiment and the Independent Regiment to eat up the Japanese who are reinforcing Wusu Airport!"
"If nothing else goes wrong, these Japanese soldiers should be the 2nd Independent Brigade of the Japanese 1st Army General Reserve stationed in Taiyuan City, and even the disabled 8th Independent Brigade may have been sent here!
If we eat these two Japs, then even if the Japanese 41st Division and the Japanese troops from the Luliang Mountains arrive in Taiyuan, the Shanxi Japanese army will lose the ability to launch a large-scale mopping up our army."
Wang Shugen's blood boiled immediately after hearing this. Under Wang Chengzhu's influence, except for the second battalion commander Tian Shuisheng who still had the habit of taking the overall situation into consideration (indecisive), the other battalion commanders basically became masters who did not mind the Japanese.
Immediately, Wang Chengzhu found Xu Hailang, the deputy battalion commander and commander of the first battalion, and gave him the task of leading his troops to return to support the blocking force. He rushed over in the direction of the new regiment and the independent regiment.
About 10 minutes later.
Wang Chengzhu met the New Regiment and the Independent Regiment head-on in a rice field, and then under the guidance of a soldier, he found Li Yunlong and Ding Wei.
The first time he saw Wang Chengzhu, Li Yunlong immediately showed a treacherous smile, and then said: "Hehehehe! Zhuzhu, I heard that you not only attacked Wusu Military Station, but also attacked Wusu Airport? We, Lao Li, congratulate you on your fortune.
Got it!"
