Bright Sword: I took Li Yunlong to work in military industry

Chapter 508 Ding Wei: Li Yunlong dares to attack Taiyuan when we don’t even have a division?

"3 small yellow croakers? Does that mean that every locust soldier in our Taiyuan city will be counted as one?"

When Prince Asaka Naruhiko saw the "price request letter" sent by the Independent Regiment, his brows, which had originally relaxed, furrowed again.

"Your Highness, the price of the Independent Group is really too outrageous, and it is far beyond what we can afford.

I think they know the wealth of the Locust Army in Taiyuan City. They are asking for such a high price, which is not only insincere, but also disgusting."

After seeing this detailed list, Ningji Okamura felt indignant.

Yoshio Shinozuka lowered his eyebrows and did not make any comments. He knew that any comment he made at this moment might frame himself.

"idiot!"

Prince Higashikuni Naruhiko stared at the telegram for a long time. Finally, he could not hold back his anger and tore the telegram into pieces and threw it on the ground.

At this time, Ningji Okamura and Yoshio Shinozuka were silent.

"How many troops can we mobilize in Jin now?" Prince Higashikuni Naruhiko asked about the military strength in Jin again.

Neiji Okamura didn't know how to answer, so he could only turn his gaze to Yoshio Shinozuka.

Shinozuka Yoshio said with a stiff face: "Your Highness, after the battle of Zhongtiao Mountain and the battle of Jincheng, there are still more than 11 locust soldiers stationed in Jin. Except for the less than 3 in Taiyuan City, the rest of the locust soldiers are stationed in core cities and along the railway.

At present, these combat forces have almost been fully utilized to deal with the harassment of the Chinese army. If we withdraw the troops from these nodes, I am afraid that these key nodes will be lost in an instant.

Therefore, apart from the less than 3 troops in Taiyuan City, Jin really cannot spare any more manpower.”

After listening to Shinozuka Yoshio's report, Prince Asaka Naruhiko's words "Are you just going to ignore my own safety?" got stuck in his throat and he couldn't say them out loud, because he really couldn't be held responsible for the subsequent loss of these core nodes in Jin.

As a prince, he was originally sent here to supervise the war. If after he arrives, these core cities and nodes are lost because of his orders, then he will be guilty of a great sin.

Moreover, it is difficult to stop the locust army and the people from talking nonsense.

"How long will it take us to transfer troops from Lu and Ji?" asked Prince Higashikuni Naruhiko.

"Your Highness, if the railway is intact, it will take at least one day." As the commander of the North China Expeditionary Army, Ningji Okamura was relatively familiar with this information.

"Then hurry up and transfer them to support Taiyuan. Write a request in my name and send it to the military headquarters, asking them to transfer the Kwantung Army to support Jin.

Remember, you must let them bring heavy artillery, the larger the caliber, the better, and the more the better.

Now Jin has become a serious threat, and we must not tolerate it!"

Prince Higashikuni Naruhiko's eyes became solemn. He had not been in Jin for long, but he saw that the Eighth Route Army in Jin now had a mature industrial system. If left unchecked, it would probably become a huge disaster.

The budding stage has passed and must now be nipped in the bud.

Ningji Okamura's heart trembled. As the head of the Japanese Expeditionary Army in North China, he had a very accurate grasp of the mentality of the Japanese upper echelons. Even though the Japanese did not have a strategic plan when invading China, they had already regarded Northeast China as theirs, a land that they must obtain.

This can be seen from the configuration of their Kwantung Army. Whether in terms of the number or quality of the army, it can be said that it is the strongest in the entire Japanese army. Now Prince Asaka Naruhiko is going to personally mobilize the Kwantung Army to support the operations in Shanxi. It can be said that this shows great importance attached to the Eighth Route Army in Shanxi.

"Hai!"

Yoshio Shinozuka bowed and accepted the order.

Prince Asaka Naruhiko sighed and said, "You should work with me to sort out the price request letter sent by the Independent Group and see what we can satisfy.

If we can use these things to delay the situation for a day or two, maybe things will turn around.”

The situation is stronger than the person.

Even the prince of the Japanese locust chamber can only choose to pretend to be friendly with the independent regiment in the face of the current situation. The offensive and defensive situations are different.

While Prince Higashikuni Naruhiko was piecing together the telegram from the Independent Regiment, he recalled the time more than three years ago when he personally led the team into Jinling City. They were tall and strong, full of pride.

Now he was blocked in Taiyuan city by a small regiment-level unit of the Eighth Route Army and was forced to agree to their "extortion" conditions.

The Japanese prince was so angry that he almost bled on the spot.

......

New 1st Regiment, Regimental Headquarters.

"What? Headquarters asked us to stop the enemy reinforcements at all costs?"

Ding Wei received a call from the headquarters. He was very surprised. Was there another big incident?

It has been just over half a year since the independent regiment attacked Ping'an County and turned the entire northwest of Shanxi into chaos. Who on earth has done this big thing again?

The political commissar of the New 1st Regiment suddenly became serious when he heard the call Ding Wei received. He stood next to Ding Wei and listened carefully to the instructions from the headquarters.

"Yes, Ding Wei, let me tell you, this battle is very important. Even if we kill all the soldiers in the New 1st Regiment, we cannot let the Japanese reinforcements set foot into Taiyuan City.

This is a death order, do you hear me? "

The brigade commander's voice sounded unusually majestic in the receiver.

"Yes, Brigade Commander, the entire New 1st Regiment guarantees to complete the mission!"

Ding Wei straightened his body and said solemnly.

"Brigade Commander, can you tell me now what happened in the direction of Taiyuan City?" Ding Wei asked finally.

"Li Yunlong is attacking Taiyuan."

The brigade commander responded succinctly, and then decisively hung up the phone.

There was a dead tone in the receiver and Ding Wei stood there in a daze for several dozen seconds.

"Captain, Captain, what's wrong?"

The political commissar of the new regiment patted the dazed Ding Wei and reminded him.

"Oh, Li Yunlong is attacking Taiyuan. Headquarters asked us to stop the reinforcements at all costs."

"what?"

The political commissar of the new regiment was very surprised.

Ding Wei put the phone back to its place, and lay on the sand table to look at it for a long time, then he cursed: "Damn Li Yunlong, you don't even have a division, and you dare to attack Taiyuan!"

"Today, a regiment dared to attack Taiyuan. If Li Yunlong is really given a division tomorrow, I dare not imagine what he can do."

"Political Commissar, you have to take out all the assets we have taken from the Liaoyuan Arsenal during this period.

This battle is very important. If we win this battle well, there will probably be no major battles in Jin for a long time to come."

"Okay, I'll do it right away."
