Liang Jian: Lao Li, I'm really not a military expert

Chapter 576: Treating Li Yunlong in his own way, breaking out of the encirclement from the front whi

"I'm afraid Li Yunlong and his men would never have thought that our first thought was not to retreat, but to attack them! Don't think I'm daydreaming. I have a very clear mind. We must launch a counterattack when the weather is hottest, so that we can take advantage of their unpreparedness, successfully break through the enemy's defensive position, and catch them off guard!"

It has to be said that Jun'ichi Aoki is very courageous. In this regard, he was completely inspired by Li Yunlong and decided to treat him the way he treated him. I'm afraid Li Yunlong never dreamed that the Japanese had met all the conditions for Li Yunlong's breakout at Shentouling. In addition, the Japanese had a super strong organization and their weapons and equipment were better than Li Yunlong's at that time. If this trick was really used, the chance of success was still very high.

Ichiro Tada wanted to persuade them, but after seeing Junichi Aoki's stern eyes, he had to swallow his words back. He could only follow Junichi Aoki's orders and take away more drinking water rations from the puppet soldiers. The puppet soldiers who were frightened by the beating did not dare to resist at all, and only dared to mutter a few words in a low voice.

Ichiro Tada really didn't care about the hateful looks of the puppet soldiers. He would kill anyone who dared to show his teeth to him. The puppet soldiers' hatred for Ichiro Tada gradually turned into fear. The more puppet soldiers they killed, the more drinking water they could get. What no one expected was that the drinking water crisis was greatly alleviated after the puppet soldiers consumed a large amount of drinking water. It must be said that this was a great irony.

In a camp of the puppet army, a big event was being planned. The two consecutive massacres by the Japanese did not make the puppet army completely surrender. The brothers Chen Tiezhu and Chen Wenhao were the best proof of this.

"Brother, we can't keep hiding. We must find a way to escape from Xiaosongling. Otherwise, you and I will definitely be used as cannon fodder by the Japanese to defend the position. If the water source hadn't been blown up before, even if we were sent by the Japanese to defend the position, the chances of us surviving would be much greater. But now we can't even get a drink of water. There's really no need to go all the way with the Japanese." Chen Wenhao persuaded earnestly.

Chen Tiezhu wiped the sweat from his forehead and took a sip of water before he felt his dry throat getting better. He replied in an anxious tone, "Brother, it's not that I don't want to escape, but the Japs didn't give us a chance to escape. I have been with the Japs for more than three years, and I don't want to wear this coat of fur. But if I hadn't worn this coat of fur, we two brothers would have died of hunger and cold long ago."

"No one can be lazy these days. We can only rely on ourselves. In addition, we have done some bad things with the Japanese. Even if we successfully escape and surrender to Li Yunlong, the final result will not be much better."

"We have to pay for the sins we committed before. We can't just write them off. Don't think about laying down your butcher knife and becoming a Buddha. If that's the case, how can good people live? You've read more books than I've eaten rice, but there's one thing I have to remind you. Just read what's in the book. Don't do what it says. Our shoulders can't bear such a heavy responsibility!"

Chen Wenhao argued with a flushed face: "Brother, what is in the books is useful. In history, the Japanese have never won against us. We only lost once more than 50 years ago, but it does not mean that we will lose again this time."

"This is the best opportunity. As long as we can get in touch with Li Yunlong, we can be his accomplices in the future, or directly join Li Yunlong's independent regiment. This is definitely better than following the devils. At least Li Yunlong treats us as human beings, while the devils don't treat us as human beings at all. They use us as cannon fodder. Can't you see this clearly, big brother?"

Chen Tiezhu replied weakly: "Little brother, some things are not as simple as you think. The Shanxi Suiyuan Army has launched a vigorous counterattack in the past two days, but it has not yet captured Guxian. I estimate that the Shanxi Suiyuan Army's counterattack will end in failure."

"As for Li Yunlong, who you think highly of, his life is not as good as you think. According to the rumors I got before, the Japanese will release a large number of disaster victims into the Zhaojiayu base in the next two months. Li Yunlong will face huge troubles at that time. If he does not save the people, Li Yunlong will not be able to stand firm. But if he does, the little food he has will not be able to sustain it."

"I have no objection to contacting Li Yunlong. After all, it is always good to leave us a way out. If I were to ask you to surrender to Li Yunlong, I would not be willing to do so even if you put a gun to my head."

Chen Wenhao wanted to argue a little more, but seeing his elder brother Chen Tiezhu's lack of interest, he could only suppress his anger and persuaded him again in a low voice: "Brother, we don't even have enough water to drink now. If we don't find a way to escape from the devils, we will definitely die in the end. It's better to find a chance to escape in advance. Even if we don't serve as puppet soldiers anymore, it's better than waiting to die now..."

After half an hour of persuasion, Chen Tiezhu finally agreed reluctantly and decided to lead a battalion of his troops to take the opportunity to escape from the Japanese. You should know that Chen Tiezhu was originally the head of a regiment, but now he only has less than a battalion of troops. This time his losses were also very large. Without soldiers and guns, his words were not so effective. Some people were dissatisfied and wanted to find a chance to kill him and incorporated three companies under his command.

Huang Ma Pi had been keeping a close eye on the movements of Chen Tiezhu and his brother, ready to complain to the Japanese at any time, in order to take advantage of this opportunity to annex Chen Tiezhu's troops. Chen Tiezhu, who had been alert to this, was very honest. He completely ignored Huang Ma Pi's repeated provocations, which made Huang Ma Pi's several attempts to instigate him unsuccessful.

Huang Ma Pi wanted to continue to instigate, but the Japanese were preparing to break out from the front and didn't care about the puppet army's movements at all. Aoki Jun'ichi was making pre-war arrangements. He planned to order the puppet army to launch a feint attack to attract the attention of Li Yunlong and others, while he led the main force of the Japanese to launch a frontal charge towards the armored forces at the foot of the mountain to get out of the current predicament.

"Tada, you must immediately send a telegram to the headquarters and inform them of our action plan. Ask the commander to find a way to transfer the air force to support us, otherwise our Aoki Division may really be wiped out! You must make the situation sound serious in order to force the commander to provide us with air support at all costs. This matter concerns the life and death of our Aoki Division. You must not make any mistakes, otherwise our Aoki Division can only wait to die in the Komatsu Ridge position!" Jun'ichi Aoki ordered with a serious face.

Ichiro Tada understood what Jun'ichi Aoki meant. This time he also planned to use his family connections. No matter what, he had to ask the Taiyuan Command to send a wing of air force to provide support.

"General, please rest assured that I will not hesitate to use my connections when it comes to the life and death of my Aoki Division. In addition, we need to remind the headquarters that the enemy may have a weapon that can detect our fighter planes in advance. I would suggest that the Taiyuan headquarters let our fighter planes take a detour, use the cover of the mountains, and fly at ultra-low altitudes to avoid being discovered by the enemy in advance!"

The mustaches on both sides of Jun'ichi Aoki moved, and he forced a smile on his face. He couldn't help but sighed, "Tada, I have to say that you are very observant. If it weren't for your reminder, I really wouldn't have noticed this. Every time our air force is dispatched, the enemy's fighter planes always arrive in advance. At the beginning, I learned from the intelligence department that the independent regiment had established a number of anti-aircraft lookouts, so I didn't pay attention to this matter anymore."

"But after your reminder, I realized that I had fallen into a misunderstanding. Most of Li Yunlong's air defense lookouts have been destroyed by us. Logically, they have lost the ability to detect fighter planes in advance. However, reality has slapped us hard in the face. This is indeed very important. We must report it to the Taiyuan Command immediately."

Ichiro Tada immediately reported according to Jun'ichi Aoki's request, and also used his family connections to coordinate more fighter planes to help Aoki's division break out.

In the temporary command post at the foot of Xiaosongling Mountain, everyone drank thirst-quenching mung bean soup and observed the reaction of the Japanese on Xiaosongling. When they found that the Japanese were gradually adjusting their combat deployment, everyone did not care. They felt that the Japanese had been firmly locked in their positions, and unless they could get huge support, they would not be able to change the current unfavorable situation.

"Old Li, give me another bowl of mung bean soup to quench my thirst. The weather is too hot today. The thermometer shows that it has reached 38 degrees Celsius. Those damn Japanese are really patient. There has been no movement until now. I thought the Japanese would evacuate in advance, but now it seems that the Japanese are more patient than we thought. We must be prepared for a long-term battle with the Japanese!" Ding Wei handed the porcelain bowl in his hand to Li Yunlong and said anxiously.

Li Yunlong scooped a bowl of mung bean soup from the iron bucket for Ding Wei, and while handing it to him, he immediately replied: "Old Ding, I hope the Japanese will fight a war of attrition with us. We are now at our doorstep, and we can directly get what we need. Not to mention that we have already blown up the Japanese's water source. I estimate that the Japanese will soon be desperate and may even evacuate their position tonight. Just wait and see!"

"It's already 12: noon. Let's hurry up and eat, then have a good sleep. Then we can fight the devils in the evening!"
