Chapter 989 Invincible

It was a satisfying experience on the battlefield, but after coming down, Shen Long got a scolding from Zhao Gang. After all, although this kind of behavior vented his anger, it did not conform to the discipline of the PLA. Regarding this, Shen Long had the same attitude as Li Yunlong, and the fun was enough. , What's the point of carrying a punishment? What's more, he will return in the future.

Shen Long followed Li Yunlong around Yuncheng from May to December, and fought three major battles in a row; the first battle wiped out the enemy forces on the outskirts of Yuncheng, and the Guo army was so frightened that they quickly mobilized four brigades of fresh troops from the northwest battlefield. Come to the rescue, in order to avoid heavy casualties and preserve strength, Li Yunlong and the others withdrew temporarily.

In July, in order to cooperate with the brother troops to advance into southwestern Shandong and western Henan and switch to outside operations, Li Yunlong and others began to besiege Yuncheng for the second time. The defenders of Yuncheng were besieged by regiments. Cross the Yellow River and reinforce Yuncheng; the Yuncheng frontline headquarters immediately made a decision to abandon the general attack on Yuncheng, except for a small number of troops to continue to surround Yuncheng, the rest of the troops were all withdrawn to fight for reinforcements, and fought on the Pinglu Duma Yuan.

In December, the time to take down Yuncheng was finally ripe. Shen Long followed Li Yunlong to launch a general offensive. After a fierce battle, Shen Long's special battalion made another great contribution. They dug a crypt under the city wall of Yuncheng through tunnel operations. , Two tons of explosives were placed inside. Due to the adoption of more powerful explosives and a more scientific charging method, the explosives used this time were a whole ton less than in the original history.

The power of the explosion did not decrease or even greatly increased. In one fell swoop, the city wall was blasted to open a gap more than 30 meters wide. , Most of the Anyi town defenders were wiped out during the breakout. After the Guojun reinforcements crossed the Yellow River, they heard that Yuncheng had been lost, so they retreated to the south bank of the Yellow River.

This battle also eliminated thousands of Japanese devils remaining in Yuncheng, and captured many prisoners. The propaganda department announced the truth about these prisoners to the whole country, and the whole country was in an uproar. Li Yunlong and Shen Long also breathed out their anger.

Since then, Yuncheng has been officially captured by the People's Liberation Army, occupying Yuncheng, west can attack Guanzhong, and south can threaten the Longhai Railway, which has important strategic significance for consolidating the southern Shanxi region, and the People's Liberation Army has also obtained a huge salt production area. The salt industry center in the Hedong area not only greatly alleviated the difficulty of eating salt in the liberated areas, but also provided sufficient raw materials for the chemical industry.

After inspecting the salt production in Yuncheng, Shen Long helped them improve the production process and left a lot of valuable information, and then followed Li Yunlong to continue heading north.

After the Battle of Yuncheng, most of southern Shanxi had been liberated, leaving only Linfen, an isolated city; Li Yunlong's division began to attack Linfen after two months of repairing. The construction of city defense fortifications created certain difficulties for the People's Liberation Army to attack Linfen.

However, with the strengthening of the production capacity of the rear arsenal, Li Yunlong's division has more and more rocket launchers. This weapon, which is extremely suitable for tackling tough battles, shines in this war, greatly reducing the casualties of the PLA, and shortening the time it took to win Linfen. time.

From the beginning of March to the end of April, after more than 50 days of fierce fighting, they again used tunnel operations to get close to the city wall, and then Shen Long's special battalion planted explosives, blasting two long gaps in the city wall, and finally broke into the city. In this battle, the People's Liberation Army suffered 8,000 casualties and wiped out 30,000 enemies, and finally won a complete victory in the battle of Linfen. Both the combat time and its own casualties were greatly reduced compared to the original history, and the results were more substantial.

It's just that Li Yunlong and Shen Long were so involved that the famous "Linfen Brigade" in the original history seemed to be about to be replaced.

If there is such a name again, it seems that it will be placed on the head of Master Li Yunlong.

After the end of this battle, all the enemy troops in the southern Shanxi area were wiped out, and the remaining Japanese troops in Shanxi lost one-third. These little devils could not save Yan Laoxi from his inevitable fate; The devils also could not enjoy the treatment that prisoners of war should have. Many of them were tried as war criminals, and the rest were sent back to Japan after they had to serve different years of hard labor.

The next goal of the People's Liberation Army is the Jinzhong area. After this battle, after only resting for more than a month, Shen Long followed Li Yunlong's division as the main combat force and participated in the Jinzhong campaign.

After the two battles in Yuncheng and Linfen, Li Yunlong's division was baptized by blood and fire, and its strength became stronger and stronger. On the other hand, the morale of the enemy army was getting lower and lower. Li Yunlong's division was invincible, and it only took a mere month to cooperate with the army. Just wiped out 75,000 Yan troops, 14 Lianke county towns, and liberated all Jinzhong areas except Taiyuan.

In this battle, Shen Long also encountered the remaining Japanese soldiers in Shanxi. Division Li Yunlong caused huge damage to these little devils, and the remaining little devils fled back to Taiyuan one after another.

After the war, Shen Long compared the statistical data with his own investigation results in Taiyuan, and found that after the battle, the remaining Japanese troops in Shanxi had lost half of their troops, and the rest were almost all concentrated in Taiyuan. If Taiyuan can be taken, then these little devils will be completely annihilated.

In autumn, Yan's army dispatched 7 divisions to attack southward along the east of the Fen River and west of the Nantongpu Railway, in an attempt to break through the PLA's forward positions to rob food, capture strong men, and disrupt the PLA's pre-war preparations for the battle.

Li Yunlong's division launched an attack immediately, annihilating the 44th and 45th divisions of Yan's army successively, and then captured Wusu Airport and Beiying Railway Station, as well as the Shizuizi position in the southeast of Taiyuan, and opened the south of the Dongshan bunker defense line. side portal.

In order to cooperate with the Battle of Pingjin, the General Commander decided to temporarily postpone the Battle of Taiyuan, so Li Yunlong's division temporarily stopped the offensive and began to continue to use the surrendered Guojun to expand its strength.

By the end of the Battle of Pingjin, Li Yunlong's troops had expanded to a column. Li Yunlong was promoted again and became the commander of the column. Zhao Gang also became the political commissar of the column. As the tide rises, Shen Long also got promoted and became the brigade commander.

Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang are both much higher than the same period in the original novel. Although they did not catch up with the three major battles, they were invincible in Shanxi and achieved a great reputation. If they will be awarded the title in the future, they will definitely not only be major generals. Maybe the only regret The only thing is that he didn't meet Chu Yunfei again.

In April, the final battle to liberate Shanxi finally came to an end.
