Traveling through the sword to engage in military industry

#270 - Special Missions

Just as Li Yunlong and the others were preparing to depart, the brigade commander received a top-secret message, ordering Li Yunlong and his men to wait two days and then set off with a special gift.

Two days later, a convoy quietly entered the heavily guarded Changyuan camp under the cover of night, towing a well-wrapped, long, trailer.

Besides the trailer, there were also two cranes following behind.

And a dozen or so young people with a strong scholarly air.

"This thing, and this team, even if the entire mechanized infantry brigade is wiped out, nothing must happen to them!" The brigade commander said to Li Yunlong, Ding Wei, and Kong Jie in person.

"All of this is top secret. Don't ask what you shouldn't ask. Fully cooperate with their work and fully guarantee their safety."

"In the most critical situation, you are allowed to directly destroy these things. There is a top-secret guide for the relevant destruction methods, which only you three chief officers are allowed to understand and collectively decide on the disposal order. Do you understand?" The brigade commander said very seriously.

"Report, brigade commander, understood!" Li Yunlong, Ding Wei, and Kong Jie said in unison, but all had strange expressions, wondering why such a thing had suddenly appeared.

These things were naturally the newly developed thermobaric warheads, but considering their special lethality, Ren Zhong did not dare to test them domestically after they were developed. After all, this thing's lethality was too alarming, comparable to the strongest weapon under a nuclear bomb.

This time, after Ren Zhong heard that Li Yunlong and the others were going to penetrate into the base area, he checked the map and found that in some parts of the peninsula, they could already reach the mainland of Little Japan.

The improved range of 850 kilometers was enough to cover the northwest of the Japanese devils.

In this way, Ren Zhong's heart was like a sprouting weed, unstoppable. He couldn't wait to find the Japanese devils to test the effect. However, the only drawback was that the effect seemed difficult to evaluate, after all, there was no one infiltrated there who could observe on the spot.

Fortunately, General Shi was there. When he heard that the Eighth Route Army was going to strike the mainland of Little Japan and test new rockets, he was unwilling to miss the opportunity to observe the scene. After coordinating the time with Staff Officer Ye, he prepared to send reconnaissance planes to observe the effect on the spot.

Now the reconnaissance planes had already been stationed at Lu'an Airport and could take off to Little Japan at any time.

Of course, these things were known to no more than ten people within the Eighth Route Army. Now even the brigade commander didn't know about these things. He only knew that a special plane had requested to land at Lu'an Airport.

Li Yunlong and his men could finally set off.

Although they were carrying a convoy that seemed a bit redundant and didn't know what it was for, for Li Yunlong, these things didn't matter. The entire team temporarily took Li Yunlong as the main leader, Ding Wei as the assistant, and Kong Jie as the vanguard, and headed east along the north bank of the Yellow River according to the plan.

Although there were many Japanese strongholds along the way, Kong Jie and the others did not attack, and the Japanese devils did not dare to provoke this obviously powerful team.

Their movement caused panic among the North China Front Army and the Ninth Front Army of the Japanese devils.

The Japanese devils were now completely unable to judge the purpose of this force. Some guessed that they were going east to connect with the Qilu base area, but this was quickly denied by reality. The strongholds along the way were not touched much, obviously they were just borrowing the road, not attacking.

This made the Japanese devils even more difficult to guess. Where were they going and what were they going to do? Where was the target?

The Japanese devils' staff officers racked their brains but couldn't figure it out.

It wasn't until Qihe was captured that some belated staff officers had a feeling of waking up from a dream.

"Their target is Jinan!" A Japanese colonel staff officer said with red eyes. Li Yunlong and his men had been running for more than ten hours, and the Japanese devils' staff officers had been tracking them non-stop for more than ten hours.

"Now Qilu is empty, and our imperial army only has more than 30,000 troops. Although there are more than 200,000 puppet troops, we all know that they are useless. This Eighth Route Army force has a very sharp offensive capability. Our army suffered a painful lesson in Jizhou."

"I think it's time to strengthen the city defense of Jinan."

The words of the Japanese high-ranking staff officer resonated.

"We are now seriously short of regular troops. If we want to strengthen the city defense of Jinan, we can only transfer some of the puppet troops from other places to Jinan to fill the trenches outside the city and consume the offensive power of the Eighth Route Army!" A Japanese devil suggested.

Now there was no way to draw troops to put out fires everywhere. He could only focus on the key points and carry out key defenses.

Jinan was of course very important, but compared to the Pinghan Line, which runs through the entire central Hebei, its importance was reduced too much.

The Pinghan Line was the Japanese devils' undisputed lifeline for the transportation of materials from north to south. If there was even the slightest possibility, the Japanese devils would not give up.

The original Operation Number One had the intention of ensuring the smooth transportation of materials from north to south, and secondly, to eliminate the strategic airfields within the Guo Bu's absolute defense circle to ensure that the Allied forces could no longer bomb the Japanese devils' homeland from the mainland.

But the start was a complete failure, and they were forced to add Operation Number Zero.

After fighting to this point, they couldn't figure out who was attacking whom?!

How long had it been before the advantage of the combat power of both sides was transformed?

Sad!

Kurihara Nobuo was already somewhat helpless about the siege of Shijiazhuang and Jizhou, and he had even less opinion about this seemingly long-range raid by the other side.

What else could he do now? He had long since run out of mobile strike forces. Even watching the Eighth Route Army vehicles passing through the defense zone unscrupulously, Kurihara Nobuo didn't even dare to issue the decision to fire.

He was completely frightened by the previous battles. It was better to be an ostrich from the heart, as if there was no problem.

So such discussions were destined to end without any constructive things left behind.

These things did not hinder the progress of Li Yunlong and his men's advance in the slightest. After taking Qihe, they took the Yellow River Railway Bridge on the Jinpu Line in one fell swoop!

This time the North China Front Army was in trouble.

The Eighth Route Army's trend was really going to attack Jinan. What could they do? The current troops could not even hold on, and there was no troop transfer from other places to reinforce.

However, despite what was said, Shimomura Sadamu of the North China Front Army of the Japanese devils still mobilized some puppet troops from Zizhou and Beihai to Jinan to strengthen the city defense.

Because they had suffered a great loss from attacking, these puppet troops and Japanese devils were strictly forbidden to go out into the field easily.

Therefore, they watched Li Yunlong and his men cover the railway bridge with wooden planks and turn it into a "temporary highway bridge", and the entire convoy passed the Yellow River without any surprises.

But they bypassed Jinan City again from outside the city.

This made the Japanese devils' staff officers silent again.

What did this mean?

Did they look down on Jinan City?

This was one of the largest cities in Qilu, but now no one wanted to besiege and seize it!

This was too unscientific.

After entering Zizhou, Li Yunlong and his men joined forces with the main force of Qilu and handed over the artillery of the five artillery battalions of the five Class A regiments to Qilu. Along with the weapons, there were also two bases of ammunition. Qilu had been looking forward to all this and had long been prepared to accept the troops. They immediately formed five standardized Class A regiments and followed Li Yunlong and his men to launch the Zizhou campaign and take Zizhou like a hot knife through butter.

Only then did the Japanese devils' staff officers wake up from a dream. This Eighth Route Army force was here to help the Qilu base area. They were going to deploy in Qilu and attack the various cities of Qilu!

So, this force was actually aimed at the land of Qilu.

When Zizhou changed hands, the Japanese devils' staff officers had a new discovery: the Eighth Route Army was not targeting Jinan alone, but the entire Qilu, just like they did in Jin.

This wave of enlightenment from the Japanese devils did not produce anything useful. Even if they guessed it, what could they do? Now the headquarters had no troops to transfer.

As for the fleet, the Japanese devils, who were now being suppressed, naturally had no large-scale fleets. They were all pulled to resist the attacks of the rogue eagle fleet.

Now the remaining small boats such as destroyers and gunboats were still left in the inland ports of our country. They were the worst in the fleet, but in the Eighth Route Army, which did not even have small boats, these were a big problem, and whether or not to make suggestions was their own trouble.

Li Yunlong and his men did not care about these things. According to the plan, they continued to attack Beihai. After taking this place, they could quickly connect the central part of Qilu with Jiaodong.

The Jiaodong Military Region was a fierce general. It would be even more powerful if the Allied transport ships brought things and equipment.

Two artillery regiments were really a great help to Commander Xu.

But now they didn't have time to do anything else. According to the requirements of the General Staff Department, they had to take the southern part of the peninsula within a limited time to meet a special convoy to carry out the mission.

The target was Shidao, the southernmost tip of the peninsula.

Currently, this was the closest place to Little Japan. The distance to the two target cities seemed to be not very large, that was, after the rocket became the new IA, it could now reach the mainland of the Japanese devils.

In addition, with the invention of the new thermobaric bomb, Ren Zhong couldn't even eat well if he didn't let the Japanese devils have a taste.

The airwaves were intertwined. Li Yunlong and his men cooperated with the Qilu Military Region and accidentally broke through to Qingdao along the Jiaoji Line. After three days of fierce fighting, the city defense of Qingdao was destroyed. After the main force of Qilu poured into the city, they launched a fierce battle. After a bloody battle day and night, the entire Qingdao changed hands.

At this time, the Allied rogue eagle fleet was already waiting in the outer sea. After receiving the signal that Qingdao was recovered, the fleet approached the port, blocked the Japanese devils' destroyers, and directly sent several torpedoes from a "Fletcher" class destroyer to destroy the Japanese devils' destroyers that were still bombarding with ship guns in the port!

The two sides began to exchange materials!
