Before coming, Chu Yunfei had done some research on Li Yunlong.
He discovered that Li Yunlong liked to take the wrong approach with his sword and was as cunning as a fox. If he smelled the slightest smell of blood, he would immediately pounce on him like a shark.
Did this guy smell some kind of fighter plane?
However, that is the elite ninth brigade of the Japanese army, and the trump card in Yoshio Shinozuka's hand is that it can be eaten if it is eaten?
The Japanese army's combat effectiveness is very strong right now.
Even though Chu Yunfei claimed that the 358th Regiment was the ace unit of the Shanxi-Sui Army, the combat effectiveness of the 358th Regiment was equivalent to that of an elite Japanese brigade.
The combat effectiveness is far inferior to that of an elite Japanese regiment, and is not at the same level at all.
At the time, the commander of the Japanese Fifth Division, Seishiro Itagaki, led the Japanese 21st Brigade from Xiangkou to Taiyuan, defeating more than 30 Chinese divisions along the way.
Although the 9th Brigade does not have as perverted combat capabilities as the 21st Brigade of the Fifth Division, it is not that easy to mess with.
At present, the Japanese Fifth Division has been reorganized into a three-unit division and has become one of the first four mechanized infantry divisions of the Japanese Army.
The 21st Brigade is now a unit directly under the Japanese North China Front. The brigade commander is Major General Hattori Naomi who led the observation group this time.
Although he had doubts in his heart, seeing the way Zhao Gang was hesitant to speak, Chu Yunfei knew better than to go out for a walk.
Anyway, he was here to observe. Although he gave Li Yunlong a question, he had no right to interfere in who and how the battle would be fought.
After Chu Yunfei left, Zhao just asked: "Old Li, how do you plan to kill the Japanese 9th Brigade? Do you already have a plan?"
"We already have a rough plan!" Li Yunlong said, "But I still have to think about it carefully."
"It's only been half a month since the 9th Brigade last came to the base area for raids."
"In other words, the 9th Brigade has been going back and forth in the past few months. Although it is not exhausted, its combat effectiveness is not at its peak."
"Furthermore, according to various intelligence analyses, the 9th Brigade has not yet had time to replenish the troops it lost in the Hundred Regiments War."
"Right now, the 9th Brigade has a maximum of 6,000 troops, which is less than the strength of two regiments."
Zhao Gang asked: "You want to take advantage of that air support opportunity, but the key to the problem is that the Japs have too many troops, and our regiment is still not enough. Even if the Japs are bombed once, it is impossible to blow them all up."
If you can kill more than a thousand Japanese, that’s good, but there are still more than 4,000 Japanese left.”
"With the current firepower and combat effectiveness of our new regiment, we may be able to defeat more than 4,000 Japs head-on, but we will not be able to annihilate them all, and our own casualties will be relatively high."
"Currently, the Japanese 29th Brigade and 37th Division are around the base area."
"If the war doesn't go smoothly, it could last for a few days. When the Japanese 29th Brigade and 37th Division surround us, it might develop into a major battle."
"We're definitely not going to do it alone." Li Yunlong said, "With the addition of the new second regiment, the independent regiment, and the artillery regiment directly under the brigade and the artillery regiment under the division, it should be almost the same."
The condition for him to do business with Chen Feng is that the battle must be commanded by Li Yunlong for it to count.
It is not limited to the new regiment. For example, in the Guanjianao battle, Li Yunlong commanded the brigade artillery regiment and the division artillery regiment to completely annihilate the Yamazaki detachment.
Moreover, the consumption of weapons and ammunition will be reimbursed.
After ambushing the Japanese transport and supply team and returning to the base area, the brigade commander asked Li Yunlong to go to the brigade headquarters for a talk.
The brigade commander plans to transfer Li Yunlong to the brigade headquarters as deputy brigade commander. After completing his qualifications, he can become the brigade commander in at most half a year.
However, he was declined by Li Yunlong. Going to the brigade headquarters to be the deputy brigade commander meant that he had to give up his fortune in the new regiment.
With the current wealth and combat effectiveness of the New Regiment, it is no exaggeration to say that Li Yunlong would not be able to change even a division commander, let alone a brigade commander.
Now there are more than 4,000 people in the new regiment, which is a properly strengthened regiment. It has all kinds of arms, strong firepower and sufficient ammunition. The cadres and soldiers can use it easily.
I also get along well with my partner.
Li Yunlong would definitely not be happy to start a new business just for the position of brigade commander.
In the end, although Li Yunlong was not promoted to deputy brigade commander, the headquarters gave Li Yunlong the status and treatment of deputy brigade commander.
Therefore, it is not a problem to command several regiments in combat, but you need to apply to the brigade headquarters.
At present, the New First Regiment has more than 4,000 people, and the New Second Regiment and the Independent Regiment have followed Li Yunlong to form the main force, each with more than 2,000 people, adding up to more than 8,000 people.
Together with the brigade artillery regiment and the division artillery regiment, the total strength exceeds 10,000.
There is another opportunity for air support. If the tactics are correct, there is a chance to eat the Japanese 9th Brigade.
Zhao Gang sounded worried: "But this plan is crazy enough. Will the superiors agree to our request?"
Li Yunlong said firmly: "Yes!"
Zhao Gang asked: "Why are you so sure?"
"Old Zhao, think about it carefully." Li Yunlong said: "If I negotiate this business with brother Chen Feng again, and I get a sufficient price, the brigade commander and the heads of the headquarters will not refuse."
The original deal that Chen Feng negotiated with Li Yunlong was that for every 500 Japanese killed within three months, he would receive 5 tons of medicine and 30 large-caliber heavy machine guns.
The March period has not yet come, and the new regiment has already killed more than 4,500 Japanese soldiers and obtained 45 tons of medicine and 270 large-caliber heavy machine guns.
Although the more good things like medicines and large-caliber heavy machine guns the better, there is currently a surplus of medicines, and the troops of the 129th Division are basically equipped with large-caliber heavy machine guns.
If you kill these 6,000 Japs and replace them all with large-caliber heavy machine guns, it would be a bit wasteful from a certain point of view. You might as well renegotiate the price.
If you apply with a price that the brigade commander and head of the headquarters can't refuse, then there won't be a big problem.
Zhao Gang said: "Then what are you waiting for? Why don't you quickly use the radio to ask Brother Chen Feng to come out to meet?"
"Why do I think you are more impatient than me?" Li Yunlong said angrily, "Go to the door of the courtyard and watch. I will talk to brother Chen Feng later and don't let anyone in."
Li Yunlong's main purpose was to guard against Chu Yunfei and never let him discover his biggest secret.
"Okay, I'll go to the door and watch. You can make an appointment with Brother Chen Feng now. Brother Chen Feng will definitely be interested in such a big business."
After Zhao Gang finished speaking, he opened the door curtain and turned around and walked out.
After Zhao Gang left, Li Yunlong took out the radio communication machine, installed the battery, turned on the switch, held the microphone in one hand and the receiver in the other and called.
"Li Yunlong calls Boss Chen. Please answer if you hear me."
There was no response after calling three times in a row, just when Li Yunlong thought that brother Chen Feng had not turned on the radio.
Chen Feng's voice came from the receiver: "Boss Chen heard it, Boss Li, please speak."
Li Yunlong said: "Li has a big business deal here and wants to meet with you, Boss Chen. Does Boss Chen have time recently?"
There was silence in the receiver for a moment, and then Chen Feng's voice came out again: "Nine o'clock in the evening, the same place, let's see you there."
Li Yunlong said: "Okay, see you there or see you."
After turning off the radio, Li Yunlong breathed a long sigh of relief, then removed the battery and put the communication machine back into the cabinet and locked it.
Now it's up to us to kill a Japanese brigade, to be precise, most of the Japanese brigade, what price can Brother Chen Feng offer?
Then Li Yunlong lay on the table and began to study the movements of the Japanese.
Chu Yunfei's work on the map was very standard, and the Japanese's movements were clear at a glance.
According to his guess, the Japanese 9th Brigade would probably stop in the Huting stronghold area, which is only about 30 kilometers away from Liaoyang.
This distance can put pressure on the Eighth Route Army headquarters and its various units near the headquarters, but the pressure is not great.
The 9th Brigade may pounce at any time, but the threat to the 129th Division is not that great.
In comparison, the 29th Brigade and the 37th Division are farther apart.
Without the support of the 29th Brigade and the 37th Division, the current strength of the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army would not be afraid of the Japanese 9th Brigade, which had only half of its strength in its heyday.
It's night time soon.
On a moonlit night, Li Yunlong took his sword squadron and wrapped himself in a military coat to his old place for an appointment.
It's already early November. Although it hasn't snowed in the past few days, the temperature in the air has dropped to several degrees below zero.
Li Yunlong came to the old place where he received the goods. It was already eight o'clock in the evening, and he saw that Chen Feng and Yan Shuangying had already arrived.
Chen Feng was wearing a thick down jacket, and beside him was Yan Shuangying who was still wearing a black windbreaker and sunglasses.
However, the pistols carried on the left and right sides of Yan Shuangying have been changed. They were originally shell guns, but now they have been replaced by Golden Desert Eagles.
Chen Feng feels that only the Golden Desert Eagle can match the temperament of the Yan Shuang Eagle.
Before Li Yunlong could speak, Chen Feng spoke first: "What big business do you have, bro?"
It was really cold today, and he wanted to finish the business deal quickly and go back to his base.
On a mountaintop more than ten kilometers away, Chen Feng asked his robot men to build a small underground base with an extremely secret entrance.
He exchanged his merit points for two female bodyguards and lived a very comfortable life in the base.
He also knew that Yamamoto Kazuki had been looking for him, but every time he showed up and burrowed into the base, Yamamoto would dig three feet into the ground to find him.
Even the pleasantries were omitted. It seemed that brother Chen Feng was also eager to do this big business. Li Yunlong was secretly happy.
"Brother, what price can you offer for eating the Japanese 9th Brigade?" Li Yunlong's face showed a smile like an old rich man from Shanxi.
However, because it was too dark, Chen Feng couldn't see clearly Li Yunlong's expression.
Chen Feng was thinking with his eyes open. When Li Yunlong raised this question, the business on the system panel changed simultaneously.
From the original reward of 5 tons of medicine and 30 large-caliber heavy machine guns for every 500 Japs killed, to the reward for annihilating most of the Japanese 9th Brigade...the rewards are still being refreshed.
The business of killing the two groups of Japs in Chenjiayu and Hanjiacun remained the same, with 100 tons of weapons and ammunition.
Chen Feng was speechless. This dog system...
Li Yunlong is your biological father. If he says to change, you will change?
I am the protagonist, do you understand this dog system?
He scolded the system a thousand times in his mind, but there was no strange expression on Chen Feng's expression.
"Sure enough, it's a big deal." Chen Feng looked satisfied, but hesitantly said, "It's just that I received intelligence that only half of the Japanese 9th Brigade is left. Isn't it a full brigade?"
"Haha... my intelligence is quite powerful." Li Yunlong chuckled, "Currently, the Japanese Army's 9th Brigade only has more than 6,000 people. In the past few months, our Eighth Route Army killed 2,000 people. We haven't had time to add more. As long as we add more
Killing these 6,000 people is equivalent to annihilating the entire 9th Brigade."
