Chapter 541 We have already made ourselves known to the Japanese, they will never let us go!
Yoshio Shinozuka's eyes couldn't help but light up slightly. Liangjiaai was indeed a critical node. As long as Li Yunlong's armored regiment could be stopped here, the rat-catching operation could continue.
Shinozuka Yoshio immediately searched the area and soon found two battalions of troops stationed nearby. He immediately ordered: "Order the troops stationed near Liangjiaai to rush to Liangjiaai to provide support. No matter what the cost, we must stop Li Yunlong's armored regiment."
The Taiyuan Command quickly issued a new combat order. The third blockade line was reinforced again, and the fourth blockade line began to close quickly. This meant that Li Yunlong was not out of danger at all. Taking over Liuhe Village did not mean he was safe, not to mention that Li Yunlong had not taken it yet.
After a forced march all night, the armored regiment finally arrived at the outskirts of Liuhe Village at three o'clock in the morning. The continuous marching and fighting made the soldiers very tired, and Li Yunlong immediately issued an order to rest before the battle.
"Lao Zhao, hurry up and arrange meals for the soldiers. I'm going to launch the attack at six in the morning. We don't need to worry too much about the Japanese air force. It will be difficult for the Japanese air force to send out capable fighters this time. We must take advantage of the absence of air threats and march day and night to break through the Japanese blockade."
"I just looked at the map carefully. If we want to escape danger completely, we can only be truly safe after we pass Liangjiaai. I think the Japanese will definitely deploy heavy troops here. If we want to break out safely, we can only rely on the help of the Air Force Battalion."
"College student, please ask the air force battalion about the situation and ask them if they can go out normally tomorrow. This is related to the life and death of our armored regiment. We cannot afford to be careless! Liangjiaai is a place that can only be passed in one direction. Once the Japanese ambush on Shanai, it will be difficult for us to break out."
"As for taking a detour, I have thought about it, but the distance is too far and it will take more time. In addition, the Japanese have cut off so many roads, which will only make our retreat more difficult. I think there is nothing to consider in this matter. Let's continue to retreat along the current retreat route."
"The plague in the base has been gradually brought under control, and the summer harvest will begin the day after tomorrow. We can just attract the enemy's attention for the base, and the safety of the summer harvest will be guaranteed!" Li Yunlong said anxiously.
Zhao Gang nodded in agreement and replied in a gentle tone: "Old Li, the kitchen team has prepared the food. They heated up the canned food for the soldiers and cooked some millet porridge. Each person can get half a can of hot porridge. I have to say that the two water tankers arranged by the college students were a great help. The kitchen team directly poured the hot porridge into them. Otherwise, if we want to let the soldiers drink hot porridge, we may not be able to do it even if we work for another hour."
"Monk, hurry up and bring the food over. The three of us will not go out. We need to discuss the next route of attack."
Monk Wei immediately ran out and brought in the food sent by Zhang Dabiao. The three of them immediately picked up the compressed biscuits and dipped them in the canned beef and started eating. It only took them 15 minutes to finish the food. After wiping their mouths, they began to discuss business.
Lin Zhenhua came to the map, pointed to the location of Liangjiaai and said, "Old Li, Liangjiaai is very narrow, and the mountains on both sides are very high. If we want to pass quickly, it will be very difficult. The Japanese only need to blow up some rocks at the exit to block the way out, and we will be blocked in the narrow mountain road, and the situation will be very dangerous."
"I don't agree with us going this way, but we are really short on time, and now is the best time for us to escape. I estimate that the Japanese 12th Army will soon receive reinforcements from fighter planes from the mainland. We have already been targeted by the Japanese, and they will never give up until we are eliminated."
"Not to mention that we stirred up a hornet's nest last time, taking so much money from the Japanese and even destroying their bank vaults. The Japanese have long hated us to the core. If we don't return to the base quickly, we will be eaten up by the Japanese."
"Last night, Lao Ding sent a telegram saying that the Japanese on the front line had directly withdrawn another division to the rear. The purpose was very clear, which was to block our retreat. Our next breakout operation can be summed up in one word, that is, fast. Let the soldiers eat in the car, and distribute the compressed biscuits and canned food in a while. Let the kitchen team take advantage of this time to boil more hot water and fill the water tanker."
"I estimate that we will not have a chance to stop and rest in the next day and night. They must break through the pass before the large-scale reinforcements of the devil arrive. Only in this way can we successfully escape the encirclement of the devil."
"Old Zhao, you have a heavy burden on your shoulders. You must take good care of the thousands of civilians and organize them to help our soldiers load ammunition into magazines and belts to ensure the ammunition supply at the front. The intensity of the battlefield will only get more and more intense. We simply don't have time to stop and load ammunition. We can only leave this job to the civilians."
"In fact, even with the help of thousands of civilians, it is not enough. We have to mobilize a mechanized infantry battalion and a transport battalion, and draw 600 people from them to do this. As long as our front-line ammunition supply can keep up, I am very confident that we can pass the pass in a short time."
"As for the firepower support from the fighter planes, it is the least of our worries. The return operation last night basically went smoothly. We only lost two fighter planes and sacrificed three pilots. The losses are completely within our control. Our air force battalion also did not suffer much damage in yesterday's battle. Its combat effectiveness is still strong and it is fully capable of completing the mission of ground support."
"The most important thing is that the plague in the base has been completely brought under control. The early preparations for the summer harvest are underway, and it is expected that the harvest will be officially started the day after tomorrow morning. As for the crops in the base, after the use of chemical fertilizers, there have been immediate effects. It is estimated that there will be no problem in doubling the yield."
Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang were all smiling. As long as they had food in their hands, they would be able to cope with the endless natural disasters in the future. Just as Li Yunlong was about to speak, Xiao Zhongyuan reported anxiously, "Captain, I just received a telegram from the commander of the 358th Regiment, Chu Yunfei. The Japanese have discovered a medium-sized oil field with a reserve of 800 million tons outside Shuiquan County. This has been confirmed by Japanese exploration experts. Once the Japanese successfully extract the oil, it will have a huge impact on the current warplanes."
"Captain Chu plans to meet with the regiment commander in half a month to discuss this matter. We plan to work together to bomb the Japanese's oil field extraction facilities. No matter how much it costs, we can't let the Japanese successfully extract oil!"
With his keen battlefield sense, Li Yunlong immediately knew that this was very bad news, otherwise Chu Yunfei would not have taken it so seriously. If it was before, he would not have been so sensitive about it, but after the base was equipped with a large number of fighter planes and armored forces, he understood the importance of oil more and more, and his face suddenly became gloomy.
"Damn it, the damn Japanese are so lucky, aren't they? If they really find oil, we won't be able to live in peace in the future, not to mention that an oil field has been discovered near Shuiquan County. Will there be oil fields of the same scale in other places? The Japanese will then re-explore the entire country. Once a large amount of oil is discovered, the consequences will be disastrous."
"College student, you've been telling me that there are oil fields in Jin Province. Do you know where they are? Could it be that all these oil fields are under the control of the devils? Otherwise, you would have already been eager to start mining, and we might not have seen any movement until now!"
Li Yunlong stared at Lin Zhenhua's eyes, which made Lin Zhenhua feel a huge pressure. Especially when Zhao Gang was also staring at him, he couldn't help but smile bitterly and said in a bitter tone: "Old Zhao, Old Li, I did say before that there are oil fields in Jin Province, but I don't know the exact location, otherwise I wouldn't be looking for oil in the base all over the world."
"The quality of the gasoline we synthesized using coal-to-oil technology is not high. Even after the subsequent technological upgrade, it is still difficult to produce high-quality gasoline. In particular, our recently launched high-quality coal-to-oil equipment can indeed produce high-quality synthetic gasoline with less impurities, but its cost is too high. If we hadn't discovered a large coal mine in our base and the quality of the coal was relatively good, I really wouldn't dare to use such equipment."
"The Japanese have always been short of oil, and they are very short of it. When they were fighting in the Northeast, they wandered around there a lot, trying to find an oil field that could be mined. But the Japanese didn't find it even after more than ten years. In addition, no oil has been found in other parts of our country. Even if oil is found, the reserves are too small and not worth mining. That's why the Japanese started to fight southward."
"Discovering this medium-sized oil field is not a good thing for us. It is very likely to cause the Japanese to change their direction of operations. We must pay attention to it and report this matter to the headquarters as soon as possible. We must also cooperate with Chu Yunfei to prevent the Japanese from exploiting it!"
