Liang Jian: Lao Li, I'm really not a military expert

Chapter 533 orders the Air Force Battalion to reinforce at all costs to open a gap for the armored r

Hearing the noise, Lin Zhenhua and Zhao Gang also hurried out of the communication command vehicle. After seeing Monk Wei sweating profusely, they were also worried. Monk Wei took the warm water handed over by Li Yunlong and drank it in small sips. When he felt his body adapted to the temperature, he drank the water in the kettle directly. Only then did he feel that his dry throat was better.

Monk Wei didn't bother to wipe the water stains from his mouth, and reported anxiously: "Captain, the Japanese are very likely to have increased their troops. I found that when the Japanese were cooking, the number of places where smoke came out increased from 16 to 16. From this change, the Japanese should have increased their strength by one squadron. According to our previous investigation, there is a regiment of Japanese troops stationed near Qingyuan Town. There is exactly one big pot for each squadron, and there are 17 big pots for 17 squadrons. Now there are big pots. From this, we can judge that the Japanese troops stationed there have also reached squadrons."

Li Yunlong patted Monk Wei on the shoulder, motioning him to go down and rest. After he left, he hurried into the communications command vehicle and said seriously, "If Monk is not mistaken, this proves one thing: the Japs have found our location and are slowly increasing their forces to avoid attracting our attention."

"It's just that the Japanese made some mistakes in the details when they were doing this, otherwise they wouldn't have revealed such a big flaw to us. We will trade intelligence with Ichiro Nakamura this morning, and then we can get evidence from him. If our hiding place is exposed, we must start the breakout operation immediately before the Japanese encirclement is formed."

Lin Zhenhua replied with a serious face: "If we are sure that our hiding place has been exposed, we must break out immediately without any hesitation. Otherwise, when the Japanese encirclement is formed, we will not be able to escape even if we want to."

"I will send a telegram to the base right now, asking the air force battalion to be ready to go at any time to cover us in breaking out of the Japanese encirclement. In addition, we must prepare the steel plates and pass through the trenches dug by the Japanese in the shortest possible time. I had planned to use a bulldozer to push the earth piles into the trenches, but the Japanese didn't give us any chance. The earth piles were all on their side, and we had no way to push them."

"From this point, we can see that the Japanese are making rapid progress. In addition to digging trenches to block our armored forces, the Japanese are also equipped with anti-tank grenades, which can pose a huge threat to our armored forces."

"Old Zhao, immediately arrange for the transport battalion to deliver ammunition. If I'm right, we may have to launch a breakout this afternoon. We must start preparing now. We can't wait until the moment comes to prepare. That would waste too much time and easily miss the opportunity to fight."

Zhao Gang was not in the mood to care about the summer harvest at the base. He had not expected that the armored regiment's hiding place had been discovered by the Japanese, which made him feel anxious.

"No matter whether our current judgment is wrong or not, we have to deal with the situation that the camp has been discovered by the devils. Even if it turns out to be a false alarm, it won't have much impact on us. But if it is true, it will affect the lives of tens of thousands of our soldiers. We can't allow any carelessness!"

At 10:30 in the morning, a transport plane landed safely outside Niujia Town. Nakamura Ichiro and his men, who came to meet the plane, quickly led people to meet the plane. Seeing boxes of silver being carried out, everyone's faces were filled with joy. This time, the transport plane brought three large boxes, each containing 10,000 silver dollars, for a total of 30,000 silver dollars.

Ichiro Nakamura picked up a dollar, blew gently on it, and listened to the sound next to his ear. After hearing a crisp sound, he nodded with satisfaction and asked his men to carry the dollar away.

"Yoshi! The 50 dollars is no problem. Tell the transport plane behind to land. As long as we receive the dollars deposit, we will immediately hand over the information to you."

Gao Yuntian immediately used the radio to send a signal to the transport plane formation in the rear, asking them to start landing. To ensure safety, after a transport plane landed and unloaded the ocean, it immediately took off and left. The transport plane did not stop during the journey to prevent the Japanese from having any improper intentions.

It took 17 light transport planes to deliver the 50 yuan deposit to Nakamura and his team. In order to prevent receiving fake money, Nakamura checked every box and worked until 12 noon before the two sides completed the deposit transaction.

"Yo! Li Yunlong is very trustworthy. He handed over the 50 yuan to us without missing a cent. This is the receipt written jointly by several of us. We wrote it in front of you and also pressed our fingerprints to express our sincerity."

"Hirata-kun, you must immediately send the information to Li Yunlong. After he verifies that it is correct, we will take this receipt back and burn it. This is what we agreed on before, and we have also obtained Li Yunlong's consent."

Gao Yuntian did not refute this. When he came, Li Yunlong had already told him that after getting the receipt from the devils, he should be prepared to leave at any time to prevent the devils from cheating. If the intelligence sent by the devils was true, the bombers and fighters behind would not attack Nakamura Ichiro and others. If it was false, they could just blow up all the damn devils and get back all the money they had given.

Ichiro Nakamura and his companions knew very well that Li Yunlong was not an easy character to deal with, and that he must have other tricks up his sleeve. In addition, they did not want to do any small tricks on this matter. If they wanted to do a long-term business, there was no need to put themselves in danger. Unless Li Yunlong wanted to rob their fellow thieves, they were not afraid, and had prepared a back-up plan in advance. Both sides could be said to be trying to catch a wolf from two ends.

Hirata Kojiro ordered the telegraph operator to send the intelligence they collected to Li Yunlong at 12:10. It took a full quarter of an hour to send the message. Li Yunlong also ordered the radio station to start receiving the message. With the concerted efforts of all the telegraph operators, it took only half an hour to complete the work of receiving and deciphering the message.

Li Yunlong picked up the telegram and read it carefully. His expression became very ugly. Their previous guess was not wrong. Their hiding place had indeed been exposed. In order to catch them, the Japanese had even formulated a mouse-catching plan. What was even more terrifying was that the Japanese had already completed 1/3 of their troop mobilization. If they did not quickly jump out of the encirclement, the armored regiment might really be wiped out.

"Telegraph operator, send a telegram to Captain Gao immediately, asking him to hand the receipt to Ichiro Nakamura and leave Niujia Town immediately!"

"Lao Zhao, college student, this is the message that was just translated. The two of you should take a look. The situation is much worse than we expected. We must act faster and break out in three hours. If we are late, it may be too late."

"Fortunately, I was cautious and only sent out one squadron of fighters and one squadron of bombers to follow the transport plane formation. Otherwise, it would be much more difficult for our armored regiment to break through the enemy's encirclement. The air force battalion simply cannot reach the battlefield in a short time. Fortunately, the main force of the air force battalion has been staying in the base, which can save us a lot of time."

"Telegraph operator, contact Maoershan Airport immediately and order the bombers and fighters on standby at home to take off immediately. No matter what the cost, they must provide sufficient firepower support for the armored regiment."

Zhao Gang tried to dissuade him anxiously, "Old Li, if you really do this, it will be difficult for our fighter and ground attack aircraft units to return to the base. The only way out is for the pilots to parachute. Do we really want to do this?"

Before Li Yunlong could speak, Lin Zhenhua supported him in a firm tone: "Old Li's arrangement is correct. From the intelligence we got from Nakamura Ichiro, we can see that the three encirclements of the devils have already been formed. Now they are going to surround us with heavy troops. It is very difficult for us to break through the three blockades of the devils in a short time."

"Don't forget that there is a Japanese airport nearby, with 60 to 70 fighter planes stationed there, which is enough to pose a huge threat to our armored forces. With our current anti-aircraft firepower, we can't stop the Japanese air force at all. If there is no air force battalion to escort us, even if our armored regiment is lucky enough not to be wiped out, I'm afraid we will lose 80% of our combat power in the end."

"Now is the time to make a decisive move. We really can't have the slightest hesitation. This is directly related to the life and death of our armored regiment. We can't allow the slightest impulse. As long as the pilot lands near our armored regiment, we can quickly rescue the pilot. If we lose the fighter plane, we can produce more, but if we don't even have the people to fly the plane, we won't be able to fight this battle."

"Our parachutes are all made of silk. The price is indeed very high, but the safety is guaranteed. With the protection of ground forces, pilots will be very safe when parachuting. When facing the Japanese infantry, our armored forces are the real kings. Even if the individual combat effectiveness of the Japanese is stronger than ours, they are still not enough to face our steel torrent."

"Old Zhao, immediately arrange for the soldiers to have a meal, and launch the breakout operation at 3 pm on time. Telegraph operator, immediately send a stern telegram to Captain Ding and Captain Kong in my name, asking them to make sure that the fighter planes are ready to be dispatched to cover our armored regiment's breakout!"
