Chapter 87: Li Yunlong's Strategy to Repel the Enemy

Wei Dayong and Shen Quan were lying in a bush, watching the Japanese closely at the foot of the mountain.

Chen Quan put down the telescope in his hand and turned to look at the monk.

"There are quite a few little devils coming this time. The team has no beginning or end. At first glance, it looks like they are as densely packed as ants!"

The monk snorted coldly: "That's not true. The deputy brigade commander said that the Japanese will dispatch at least a brigade of troops this time."

"What we see now is just the Japanese infantry. There must be heavy artillery units behind them!"

Shen Quan frowned, and after thinking for a moment, he said: "Then are we still here to watch? How about we retreat with the troops first, or at least tell the deputy brigade commander about the situation here first!"

"Yeah! I think so too. The roads here are so complicated that the kid won't be able to walk very far in a while!"

After saying that, the monk moved back, then turned around and ran towards where Li Yunlong and the others were.

After the monk trotted back to the cave dwelling, Li Yunlong handed him a bowl of water and said, "How is the situation?"

The monk took the water bowl and drank it in one gulp.

"Looking at your appearance, those who didn't know better would have thought that you were reincarnated as a thirsty ghost and wanted to drink another bowl?"

Although Li Yunlong said he was disgusted, the kettle in his hand had already filled another bowl.

The monk wiped the water stains from the corner of his mouth and smiled: "Deputy Brigadier, the situation is clear. Just like you said, there are many Japanese this time."

"Battle Commander Shen and I lay on the mountain top and watched for more than half an hour. All we saw were infantry. I guessed that there must be heavy artillery troops behind!"

Li Yunlong raised the corners of his mouth, turned around and smiled at Kong Jie and Zhao Gang.

"Old Zhao, Old Kong, have you seen that the little devil is still afraid of us, for fear that we will really attack Taiyuan!"

Zhao Gang couldn't help but rolled his eyes: "Old Li, when has this happened, are you still in the mood to laugh? You don't have to think about it. You have killed so many Japanese elites. Are the Japanese afraid of you? That's hate. you!"

Kong Jie nodded in agreement: "What Political Commissar Zhao said is that with the strength of a brigade and a heavy artillery unit, I'm afraid we will have another vicious battle this time!"

Li Yunlong picked up the water bowl and took a sip, and snorted coldly: "If there is really only infantry and heavy artillery troops, then they are the fourth brigade, Shinozuka Yoshio's trusted troops!"

"According to Yoshio Shinozuka's character, I'm afraid there will be tank troops behind him. If not, there will be aircraft support!"

Zhao Gang and Kong Jie's eyes widened immediately, with shock written all over their faces.

"Old Li, are you kidding me? Plane bombing? Just for our two regiments? If we want to bomb, we should also bomb the National Army and the Shanxi-Sui Army!"

As soon as Kong Jie finished speaking, Li Yunlong immediately stared at him and said angrily: "What happened to the two regiments? Our Li Yunlong's army is the main force in northwest Shanxi."

"Think about it for yourself, as far as our Lao Li's record is concerned, can the entire national army in northwestern Shanxi compare with the Jinsui Army?"

Seeing that the topic was going off track, Zhao Gang asked anxiously: "Old Li, if it's really like what you said, then we have to think of a way, otherwise our troops will definitely suffer heavy losses by then!"

After saying that, Zhao Gang and Kong Jie looked at Li Yunlong at the same time.

Li Yunlong was stunned for a moment, then snorted coldly: "What are you two staring at me for? That's an airplane. Do you still think that I, Li Yunlong, can take out a grenade from my crotch and blow it up?"

"Let me tell you, what we can do now is to hide the brothers first, especially the artillery and the like, which are our treasures!"

Just when everyone was frowning and not knowing what to do, Li Yunlong suddenly turned his head and looked at Kong Jie.

"Lao Kong, later you take the brothers to tie up the straw men and dress them in our clothes. I will be of great use then!"

Kong Jie was stunned: "What's going on? You, Mr. Li, still want to borrow arrows from a grass boat? The Japanese are just cannonballs this time. You, Mr. Li, should stop wasting your time and think of other ways!"

Li Yunlong snorted coldly: "Old Kong, you know nothing. Can the kid on the plane see clearly whether the person on the ground is a straw man or a real person?"

"As long as the little devils mistake the idiots for us, we can trick them into bombing. After they finish bombing, it's time for us to fight back!"

Kong Jie nodded, turned and left, but his heart was pounding.

This was the first time he had seen this kind of fighting method, and he didn't know if it would be successful.

After Kong Jie left, Li Yunlong turned to look at Zhao Gang: "Old Zhao, it will take a long time for the Japanese plane to arrive!"

"According to my understanding of the Japanese, the Japanese will conduct a round of bombing with heavy artillery before the plane comes, and then they will launch a search attack!"

Zhao Gang frowned: "Then what should I do?"

Li Yunlong sneered: "The old method is to bring in the Japanese to fight. Counterattack against the Japanese based on reasonable terrain!"

"If nothing else, as long as the Japs are brought in, the Japs' tank troops will be restricted and their heavy artillery will not be able to fully deploy. This is the advantage of our home field!"

As soon as Li Yunlong finished speaking, Zhao Gang immediately said: "Okay, this time I will lead the team to bring the Japs in. You just need to cooperate with me then!"

Li Yunlong nodded, but he was not in a hurry to make arrangements!

On the other side, the Japanese 4th Brigade has gradually entered the mountains. As the vanguard of the 22nd Regiment, Captain Kasahara Koizumi looked around and raised his fist.

"Everyone, stop moving forward!"

As soon as Kasahara Koizumi finished speaking, Hiragakuo Yufu walked up to him angrily.

"Captain Kasahara, what do you want to do? Why did you stop the troops from advancing?"

Kasahara Koizumi immediately agreed and explained: "Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, the terrain here is narrow, I am worried about being ambushed!"

Hirakata Yongfu frowned, then raised his hand and slapped him twice.

"Baga! Are you a pig? Yamamoto-kun has already fought with Li Yunlong. If Li Yunlong was not an idiot, he should have fled with his large army at this time."

"What's more, with the little force they have, even if they ambush them, they are only here to die!"

Kasahara Koizumi wanted to say something else, but when he saw Isamu Hiragakuo's angry eyes, he could only swallow the words that came to his lips.

However, the worry on his face did not diminish at all.

The chief of staff of the 22nd Regiment quickly stepped forward to smooth things over and said: "Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, what Mr. Kasahara said makes sense. The Chinese often say that caution will destroy the ship."

"Therefore, I think we'd better send out a small force to conduct reconnaissance around the area before taking action!"

Hirakata Yongfu was furious and kicked the Japanese chief of staff to the ground: "Baga, who are you? How dare you talk to me like this!"

"Send a small team to investigate? What if Li Yunlong's troops escape? Who will avenge Mr. Yamamoto!"

"Inform the heavy artillery unit to immediately cover the surrounding area with bombing. I don't believe it. These Tubal Roads really dare to ambush nearby!"

"Hayi!"

Following the order from Isamu Hiragakuo, the heavy artillery troops at the rear made some preparations and then carried out covering bombardments on both sides.

"Boom!" "Boom!"

Wherever the artillery fire struck, birds and animals scattered, and earth and trees flew everywhere.

At this time, Li Yunlong and others were sitting in the dilapidated cave dwelling, watching the scene in front of them.

Just like what Li Yunlong said, the Japs' artillery fire couldn't reach them at all, and the nearest artillery shell could only reach them a few hundred meters away!

Li Yunlong snorted coldly and turned to look at Zhao Gang: "What did I say? The Japs will definitely carry out a round of bombing! It is estimated that in a while, the Japs' planes will arrive for bombing!"

"Old Zhao, once the artillery fire stops, our plan can be implemented. Please prepare!"
