Li Yunlong spoke in a arrogant tone: "Pass my order, all artillery units prepare for artillery fire, and the air force prepares for bombing. Let's use artillery shells to teach the devils a lesson. What the hell do you call a rich man?"
The new regiment is well prepared for this battle.
In addition, he can apply for airdrop supplies from Boss Chen at any time. Li Yunlong only has a lot of artillery shells.
Li Yunlong came here just to get rid of the Japs' fear of lack of firepower.
He wanted the Japanese to see what "Li Yunlong's ammunition capacity" meant.
"Captain, we carry only 4 base shells. Do we need to apply to Boss Chen for airdrop supplies tomorrow?"
Wang Dehou asked.
The transportation capacity of the new regiment is much stronger than that of the 129th Division, so it carries more artillery shells.
Coupled with the Eighth Route Army trains, ammunition and other materials can be transported along the Zhengtai Railway to Zhengding Station.
Then thousands of trucks from the new regiment can continuously transport ammunition from Zhengding Station to the Baoding front line.
The new regiment's logistics supply line is both stable and sufficient.
"No rush! We still carry a lot of artillery shells." Li Yunlong thought for a moment, then waved his hand and said, "Let Boss Chen's transport plane finish delivering ammunition supplies to the 129th Division."
Although the new regiment consumed some artillery shells on the Shimen City battlefield and the Jinju battlefield.
However, during the two days of rest in the Jinju area, the new regiment replenished a wave of ammunition.
The new regiment is currently on the Baoding battlefield and has been shelling enemy positions for just over three hours in total.
Where did this go?
"also!"
Wang Dehou smiled slightly.
After testing out the Japanese's firepower deployment and troop deployment, Li Yunlong planned to use all his firepower.
There is such a theory in "Theory of Large Corps and Deep Battle", which Li Yunlong remembers deeply.
This theory is called the theory of victory by firepower alone. It refers to investing a huge amount of ammunition regardless of the cost to carry out intensive bombing and artillery strikes to suppress and destructively strike the enemy. It is intended to quickly and efficiently annihilate the enemy's effective forces, making it difficult to organize an effective defense.
Minimize the casualties of one's own personnel.
In this battle, Li Yunlong was prepared to use this theory and tactics.
However, it was already dark today, and artillery shells needed to be prepared. Li Yunlong planned to let the Japanese and puppet troops continue to eat artillery shells tomorrow.
This.
In addition to the pre-dinner desserts, Li Yunlong prepared a real feast for the Japanese and puppet troops.
…
at the same time.
The leading force of the North Route Attack Group of the Eighth Route Army, with more than 10,000 men under the leadership of Kong Jie, has already entered Peiping.
The Japanese have fled.
This city, which had experienced several regime changes in modern times, was finally recaptured by the Chinese army after being occupied for five years.
At first, the people in Peking didn't believe it. Why did the Japanese suddenly escape?
The Eighth Route Army suddenly entered the city?
but!
When they saw the traitors being pulled out and shot, and the red flag of the Eighth Route Army rising, the common people believed that the Japanese had been beaten away.
Some people took to the streets to set off firecrackers to celebrate.
But some elderly people are very cautious.
Just because there have been too many regime changes in Peiping over the years, a new group of troops will take power soon. If the Japs come back again, those who set off firecrackers to celebrate will definitely be executed by the Japs.
In the darkness, there are still many spies left behind by the Japanese and puppet troops.
Since the Eighth Route Army was still 20 kilometers away from Beiping City, Yamamoto led his troops to flee with buckets.
Therefore, even if Kong Jie led his troops into Peiping and immediately sent a telegram to Li Yunlong, Li Yunlong would know the news of the recapture of Peking more than two hours later than Okamura Neiji.
Li Yunlong was overjoyed after receiving the telegram, and immediately ordered the Communications Department to immediately forward the telegram to the headquarters.
"Very good!"
At the headquarters, after the chief of staff read the telegram forwarded by the new regiment, the leader suddenly smiled.
There was a call from YA before, hoping that the headquarters could find a way to peacefully liberate Peiping.
The chief of staff and leaders speculated that after the founding of New China in the future, the capital would be built in Peiping.
The chief of staff and the commander have already thought of a solution.
After Li Yunlong's troops regained Baoding, they marched directly north and formed an encirclement situation around Peiping with the North Road Attack Group.
Then, use the force of 100 long-range strategic bombers to threaten the Japanese base camp and the locusts.
If the Japanese in Peiping do not surrender, they will use 100 long-range strategic bombers to blow up Tokyo.
but!
The changes in the war situation were beyond the expectations of the chief of staff and commander.
Okamura Neiji actually chose Baoding as the battlefield instead of having a strategic decisive battle with the Eighth Route Army in Peiping and Tianjin.
Coupled with the smooth offensive of the North Road Attack Group and the surprise troops of the new paratrooper battalion descending from the sky, the Japanese 27th Division was wiped out.
As a result, the North Route Attack Group of the Eighth Route Army was no longer blocked and drove straight in to the gates of Beiping City.
The Japanese in Beiping City simply fled away.
The smooth recovery of Peiping was beyond the expectations of the leader and chief of staff.
The chief looked solemn: "Immediately order the Ministry of Communications to forward this telegram to YA. Your staff department will draft another telegram to provide electricity to the whole country!"
The chief of staff immediately made arrangements quickly.
The chief of staff came back, stared at the map and analyzed: "According to the marching speed of the Japanese Kwantung Army, the Japanese Kwantung Army should have passed Shanhaiguan and Qinhuangdao."
Although the Japanese Kwantung Army adopted a strategy of mostly marching at night.
However, the main force of the more than 100,000-strong Kwantung Army marching still showed many flaws, and the traces were discovered by the Eighth Route Army's reconnaissance planes.
At this time, the main force of the Japanese Kwantung Army had already crossed Shanhaiguan.
But Shanhaiguan is still 500 kilometers away from Baoding.
In other words, the main force of the Kwantung Army still has at least about seven or eight days to reach Baoding.
Although the Kwantung Army has hundreds of thousands of elites as its main force, it has suffered repeated defeats since the North China Front Army and the Pacific War became tense.
The main divisions of the Kwantung Army were successively transferred to the North China and Pacific battlefields.
This time the main force of the Kwantung Army entered the pass, General Umezu Yoshijiro, and he only brought a few hundred thousand troops.
After all, the existence of the Kwantung Army was mainly to defend against the Soviet army in the Far East.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! If the Kwantung Army comes out in full force, the Kwantung Army's base camp will most likely be stolen by the Soviet army in the Far East.
The Northeast was a land that the bear in the north had coveted for a long time, no matter in the Tsarist Russia period or the Soviet Union period.
The leader nodded and agreed: "Although the Kwantung Army has relatively strong combat effectiveness, it is already exhausted after such a long march. Even if the Kwantung Army can reach Baoding, how much combat effectiveness will it have?"
Regarding the main force of the Kwantung Army, which numbered more than 100,000, the commander did not panic at all.
"Since the main force of the Kwantung Army is about to arrive, should we send a reserve team to reinforce Li Yunlong?"
the chief of staff asked.
In the hands of the commander, there is still a new force, which is the general reserve force for this battle.
Including 200 heavy artillery, 200 tanks, hundreds of mountain guns, and a main force of 100,000 infantry.
Although the main force of 100,000 infantry has not yet completely changed to the domestically produced Type 56 infantry.
But just looking at the number of artillery pieces, they are already a modern force with extremely powerful firepower.
"Send the reserves out."
The chief nodded, his tone decisive.
On the one hand, this force is used as a reserve force, and on the other hand, it is used to defend against the attack of the national army.
Now that the Kwantung Army's Japanese invaders have entered the border, it's time to send out the reserve team.
As a result, the Eighth Route Army's military strength in Shanxi seemed empty.
Although the national army currently has no intention of attacking the Eighth Route Army base areas in Shanxi.
But if the worst happens, once the Central Army and the Shanxi-Sui Army attack Shanxi, the headquarters will take the Eighth Route Army in Shanxi into the mountains to fight guerrillas.
After the main force has dealt with the Japanese in North China and Xuzhou, they can then turn around and deal with the national army.
"Yes!" the chief of staff responded.
After issuing the order for the reserve team to set off to Baoding, the chief of staff smiled slightly and said: "There is also the Japanese 11th Army in Xuzhou, which should be dealt with by our 129th Division soon."
…
The nationwide call to recapture Peiping was issued by the Eighth Route Army headquarters in the middle of the night.
Whether it was the national army, local armies, the Japanese army, or people from all walks of life, they all received the clearly coded power transmission at almost the same time.
As expected, the whole country was shocked, and the news even spread to the other side of the ocean.
The mustaches from the Axis powers yelled at dwarfs. How come those Asian dwarfs are so vulnerable to those idiots from Italy?
Luo Laizi was shocked and thought, when did those people from the Republic of China become so powerful?
Only Principal Chang lost his temper again and cursed Niang Xipi.
The rise of the Eighth Route Army frightened Principal Chang even more than the Japanese occupation of most of China.
When the Japanese invaded and occupied the three northeastern provinces, Principal Chang also insisted that in order to fight against foreign aggression, one must first pacify the interior. He ordered the Northeast Military Region to attack the Red Army in northern Shaanxi, and then Principal Chang's direct troops reaped the benefits.
But now, the Eighth Route Army is getting bigger and stronger.
According to the intelligence reported by the military commander, the main force of the Eighth Route Army has exceeded one million, with thousands of heavy artillery, hundreds of tanks and hundreds of aircraft...
Now that Peiping has been recovered, North China will soon be recovered.
Coupled with the Eighth Route Army's small actions in Henan Province, the Central Plains area will soon become the territory of the Eighth Route Army.
Principal Chang had trouble sleeping and eating, and suffered from insomnia in the middle of the night, so he began to write in his diary: Mother Xipi, Han Qing has mistaken me...
…
Xuzhou.
Sengge Temple.
Division Headquarters.
"Reporting to the division commander, all the 5,000-ton heavy artillery shells have been received and transported to various artillery positions."
The logistics director reports to the division commander.
Boss Chen's heavy strategic transport aircraft dropped more than 6,000 tons of battlefield airdrop supplies for the Sharp Sword Brigade for three consecutive days.
The location is in a small base area of the Eighth Route Army.
Among them, 5,000 tons are heavy artillery shells, which is 100,000 rounds of heavy artillery shells.
The division commander, political commissar, chief of staff and staff all looked happy.
"We have obtained 100,000 rounds of heavy artillery shells. This time our division can have a big fight!"
A staff officer spoke harshly.
The logistics minister smiled broadly: "In addition to heavy artillery shells, there are also 1,000 tons of other combat supplies, including cans, ammunition, medicine, fuel and other supplies."
As for the fact that there is no shortage of food for the time being, the food carried by the troops can last for more than 10 days.
6,000 tons of combat supplies are not too much for a large corps battle.
The Japanese army had 10,000 tons of combat materials for each battle, and it took 10 military vehicles to pull them all.
but!
This is a batch of combat supplies that were airdropped into the hands of the Eighth Route Army in just a few days. This batch of combat supplies is crucial to the outcome of the entire battle!
The teacher's tone was arrogant: "Haha! This time we can finally fight for prosperity!"
Duan Peng smiled slightly: "Commanders, my regimental commander said that if there is not enough, you can send him a telegram at any time, and he will apply for battlefield airdrop supplies to the 129th Division."
