He was very satisfied on the battlefield, but after he came down, Chen Long was scolded by Zhao Gangshi. After all, although this behavior was angry, it did not conform to the discipline of the People's Liberation Army. Chen Long was in the same attitude as Li Yunlong, and it was enough to be satisfied. What's the point of taking a punishment? What's more, he will return in the future.

Chen Long followed Li Yunlong around Yuncheng from May to December, fighting three consecutive battles; the first battle eliminated the enemy forces outside Yuncheng, which scared the Guo army quickly drew four brigades of new forces from the northwest battlefield to rescue. In order to avoid major casualties and preserve their strength, Li Yunlong and the others temporarily retreated.

In July, in order to cooperate with the brothers to advance into southwestern Shandong and western Henan and move into the outside battle, Li Yunlong and his friends began to siege Yuncheng for the second time. The Yuncheng defenders were besieged by groups. The Guo army once again urgently sent four brigades to cross the Yellow River from the Sanmenxia area to reinforce Yuncheng; the Yuncheng Front Command immediately made a decision to give up the general attack on Yuncheng. Except for a few troops left behind to continue to siege Yuncheng on the periphery, the rest of the troops retreated to attack and launched a blocking battle on the Pinglu Dumayuan.

In December, the time to take over Yuncheng was finally ripe. Chen Long followed Li Yunlong to launch a general attack. After a fierce battle, Chen Long's special camp made great contributions again. They dug out caves under the walls of Yuncheng through tunnels and placed two tons of explosives inside. Due to the use of more powerful explosives and more scientific charging methods, the explosives used this time were one ton less than in the original history.

The power of the explosion did not decrease or even greatly enhanced. The city wall was blown up by a gap of more than 30 meters wide in one fell swoop. The troops quickly attacked the city. After fierce street fighting, they annihilated the defenders the next morning and occupied the entire city. At the same time, most of the defenders in the Anyi Town were also annihilated during the breakout. After the vanguard of the Guo army's reinforcements crossed the Yellow River, they heard that Yuncheng had been lost, so they retreated back to the south bank of the Yellow River.

This battle also eliminated thousands of Japanese devils left in Yuncheng and captured many prisoners. The propaganda department announced the truth about these prisoners nationwide, which was in an uproar across the country, and Li Yunlong and Shen Long also exclaimed a rant.

Since then, Yuncheng was officially taken over by the People's Liberation Army, occupying Yuncheng, and attacking Guanzhong in the west and threatening the Longhai Railway in the south, which is of great strategic significance to consolidating the southern Shanxi region. In addition, the People's Liberation Army has also obtained a huge salt production area. Yuncheng has been the salt center in the Hedong region since ancient times, which not only greatly alleviated the problem of salt eating in the liberated areas, but also provided sufficient raw materials for the chemical industry.

After inspecting the salt production in Yuncheng, Chen Long helped them improve their production process and left a lot of valuable information. Then he followed Li Yunlong to move closer north.

After the Battle of Yuncheng, most areas in southern Shanxi were liberated, leaving only an isolated city in Linfen; Li Yunlong's division repaired for two months and began to attack Linfen again. Yan Laoxi and Guojun deployed heavy troops in Linfen, and used Japanese engineers to urgently strengthen the construction of city defense fortifications, creating certain difficulties for the People's Liberation Army to attack Linfen.

However, with the strengthening of the production capacity of the rear arsenal, the Li Yunlong Division's rocket launcher equipment became more and more. This weapon that was extremely suitable for attacking was shining in this war, greatly reducing the casualties of the People's Liberation Army, and also shortening the time to capture Linfen.

From early March to the end of April, after more than 50 days of fierce fighting, the tunnel operations were used again to approach the city wall. Then Shen Long's special camp placed explosives, exploded two long gaps in the city wall, and finally attacked the city. In this battle, the People's Liberation Army suffered 8,000 casualties and annihilated 30,000 enemies, and finally achieved a complete victory in the Linfen battle. Whether the time of the battle or its own casualties were greatly reduced than the original history, the results were even richer.

However, after being mixed up by Li Yunlong and Shen Long, the famous "Linfen Brigade" in the original history seemed to be about to be replaced. Li Yunlong's teacher took on the task of attacking. If he had this title, he seemed to be placed on Li Yunlong's teacher.

After the war, all the enemy troops in southern Shanxi were eliminated, and the remaining Japanese troops in Shanxi lost one-third. These Japanese devils were unable to save Yan Laoxi's fate of defeat; and according to relevant international law, these Japanese devils could not enjoy the treatment they deserved by prisoners of war. Many of them were judged as war criminals, and the rest also needed to serve a number of years of labor before they were deported back to Japan.

The next goal of the People's Liberation Army was the Jinzhong area. After only one month of rest after this battle, Chen Long followed the Li Yunlong division as the main force in the battle of Jinzhong.

After passing through Yuncheng and Linfen, Li Yunlong's army was baptized by blood and fire, and its strength grew stronger. On the other hand, the morale of the enemy was getting lower and lower. Li Yunlong's army was invincible. It took only a month for cooperation with the army to annihilate 75,000 Yan's army and conquer 14 county towns. Except for Taiyuan, all Jinzhong areas were liberated.

In this battle, Chen Long also encountered the figures of the remaining Japanese troops in Shanxi. Li Yunlong's army caused huge damage to these Japanese devils, and the remaining Japanese devils fled back to Taiyuan.

After the war, Chen Long's statistics were compared with his own reconnaissance results in Taiyuan. It was found that after this battle, the remaining Japanese troops in Shanxi had lost half of their troops, and almost all the rest were concentrated in Taiyuan. If Taiyuan could be captured, then all these Japanese devils would be wiped out.

In the autumn, the Yan army dispatched 7 divisions of troops to the east of the Fen River and west of the Nantongpu Railway to the south, attempting to break through the frontier positions of the People's Liberation Army to rob food, arrest the strong men, and destroy the PLA's pre-war preparations.

Li Yunlong's division immediately launched an attack, annihilated the 44th and 45th divisions of the Yan army, and then captured Wusu Airport, Beiying Railway Station, and Shizuizi position in the southeast of Taiyuan, opening the southern gateway of the Dongshan Bunker Defense Line.

In order to cooperate with the Battle of Pingjin, the General Command decided to temporarily delay the Battle of Taiyuan, so Li Yunlong's division temporarily stopped the attack and began to continue to use the surrendered Guo army to expand its troops.

By the end of the Battle of Pingjin, Li Yunlong's troops had expanded to a column. Li Yunlong was promoted again, becoming the commander of the column, and Zhao Gang also became the political commissar of the column. The waters rose and the ships were high, and Chen Long was promoted to become the brigade commander.

Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang are both much higher than the positions in the original novel at the same time. Although they did not catch up with the three major battles, they were invincible in Shanxi and became famous. If they were to be awarded titles in the future, they would definitely not be the major general. Perhaps the only regret is that they did not meet Chu Yunfei again.

In April, the last battle to liberate Shanxi was finally about to begin.
