The fact that Li Yunlong wanted to expand the artillery battalion quickly spread in Xiaohuangshan.

For a moment, the entire Xiaohuang Mountain became boiling, and many veterans were rushing to go to the artillery camp.

After all, everyone is quite motivated in the matter of shooting.

"Captain, why don't you transfer me to the artillery battalion? I promise to maximize the combat effectiveness of the artillery battalion."

Li Yunlong glared at Chen Quan fiercely: "Go and go, transfer your kid to the artillery camp. Who will take you to the second battalion? I saw your kid's artillery skills last time, what did you think? You can't hit it accurately at all!"

"I still want to be the battalion commander of the artillery battalion? You can't even shoot your own artillery well. Can you carry this artillery battalion well?"

"I tell you, the position of the battalion commander of this artillery battalion was left to Wang Chengzhu by me. You kid will make your own mortars! Let's get the small ones first and play with the big ones!"

Chen Quan curled his lips and could only walk out of Li Yunlong's house helplessly. Before leaving, he still muttered a few words.

The third battalion commander also walked over with a smile: "Captain..."

"Shut up!" Li Yunlong looked at him angrily: "You have been married for two years and have not hit the target yet, so you can't do it. If you leave it to your artillery camp, it will be ruined!"

The third battalion commander was stunned. He always felt that something was wrong with Li Yunlong's words, but he couldn't figure it out...

.....

At the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, the Chief of Staff walked into the command center with a telegram.

"The boss, the information sent by the Taiyuan underground party notice seems to have taken office as the new commander of the First Army of the Japanese."

The boss was stunned and put down his work and received the telegram: "Yoyuki Iwamatsu? What a familiar name."

"Iwamatsu Yoshio, an old devil?" The division commander beside him was stunned.

The boss and the chief of staff turned to look at the division commander at the same time: "Old Liu, do you know him?"

The division commander nodded: "Well! He and this old devil personally led his troops to encircle and suppress our 129th Division."

"Although we finally broke out of the encirclement, we paid a considerable price. I didn't expect the Japanese to transfer him to the scene."

"This old devil is much harder to deal with than Yoshio Shinozuka in terms of strategic deployment. I'm afraid our situation will become more and more difficult in the future!"

The boss nodded: "This time this guy named Yoshio Iwamatsu was transferred to Taiyuan. I think it was probably for your master. You have to be careful."

The division commander nodded: "I'm not worried about other troops, but I'm a little worried about Li Yunlong's place."

"Yoino Shinozuka died in his hands. If Yoshio Iwamatsu wants to suppress the Japanese in Taiyuan, he will definitely attack Li Yunlong."

"I think it's better to send someone to remind him."

The boss nodded: "Don't worry, I'll give him some words in person. You should hurry up and go back and deploy, and don't take advantage of the loopholes for Yoshio Iwamatsu."

"Yeah!" the commander responded and turned around and left.

In the city of Luliang, Yan Laoxi put down the report in his hand and turned to look at Fu Zuoyi.

"Yisheng, how much do you know about this Japanese devil named Yoshio Iwamatsu?"

Fu Zuoyi shook his head: "It's not clear in detail, but judging from the information I have in hand, this Japanese devil is not simple. He has been in Jinling before and later assisted Shiichi Shinui, so the detailed situation is not clear."

Yan Laoxi frowned: "You can win every battle if you know yourself and your enemy. Before tomorrow morning, I want the specific information of this Japanese devil, which is already his combat habit."

Fu Zuoyi nodded: "Okay, I'll tell someone to do this later."

"But, Chief Yan, do we have to take the initiative to attack this time?"

Yan Laoxi shook his head: "Just before, as long as the Japanese do not touch our interests, we can be at peace with them. As for dealing with them, we can just leave it to the Eighth Route Army and others at that time."

"However, I hope this Japanese man is more capable than Yoshio Shinozuka and can suppress the arrogance of the Eighth Route Army!"

Fu Zuoyi nodded, stopped talking, and turned around and walked out of the command center.

In the headquarters of the First Army in Taiyuan, Yoshio Iwamatsu squinted his eyes and looked at the files on the table.

The report on his desk was the 36th Division and Li Yunlong's battle, and Li Yunlong's photo was in the most conspicuous position on the table.

"Report!"

Yoshio Iwamatsu was stunned, looked up at the door, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face.

"Staff Officer Kawamoto, what's wrong?"

Chief of Staff Kawamoto smiled and said, "Your Excellency Commander, I just received the news that the 20th, 37th Divisions, and the 108th Division have arrived in Taiyuan."

"Now the three division commanders are waiting for you in the command center!"

Yoshio Iwamatsu was stunned and smiled, "I thought they would arrive the day after tomorrow, but I didn't expect it to come so quickly!"

Kawamoto nodded and smiled: "After receiving the order, the three division commanders marched urgently, and they all wanted to see the commander as soon as possible!"

Yoshio Iwamatsu laughed: "Okay, since they have arrived, then we will go and meet them."

After saying that, Yoshio Iwamatsu turned around and walked towards the command center.

"Hiss Commander!"

The moment Iwamatsu Yoshio entered the door, the three Japanese division commanders immediately stood up and greeted him.

Yoshio Iwamatsu nodded, signaling them to sit down, and then looked at the other Japanese officers in the command center.

"In the battle of Huangshaling, because of Yoshio Shinozuka's stupidity and self-decision, the 36th Division was wiped out, causing the Taiyuan Command to be in short supply."

"In order to make up for the problem of Taiyuan's military strength, I specially transferred the 20th, 37th and 108th Divisions. In the future, I would like to cooperate with each other to wipe out the Chinese troops in northwest Shanxi!"

"Hayi!" All the Japanese immediately agreed to take the lead.

At this moment, Kenyoshi Hirata, the commander of the 37th Division, stood up and looked at Yoshio Iwamatsu: "Commander, since we are here now, I suggest that we immediately launch an attack on the Chinese people in northwest Shanxi!"

The commander of the 20th Division, Ichiro Shida, echoed: "Hirata Jun is right. Now we must use a victory to increase our morale!"

The commander of the 108th Division, Motojiro Taniguchi frowned and said, "I have read the battle report and post-war summary of the 36th Division."

"In terms of numbers and equipment, the imperial army has an absolute advantage."

"But even so, I was defeated by the Chinese man named Li Yunlong. This is enough to show that Li Yunlong should not be underestimated."

Yoshio Iwamatsu nodded and smiled, "Kun Taniguchi is still as meticulous as before."

"I have read all the reports of the Battle of Huangshaling. From the report, I learned that the 36th Division had a long journey from Taiyuan to northwest Shanxi. Along the way, they were not only blocked by the Eighth Route Army, but also the Jinsui Army."

"And the Imperial Army near its battlefield was also blocked by them, which made the 36th Division unable to obtain support."

Staff Officer Kawamoto was stunned and smiled and said, "Your Excellency Commander, what do you mean?"

Yoshio Iwamatsu smiled and said, "If you want to kill Li Yunlong, you must first get rid of other people who are in trouble, such as the Jinsui Army!"

The three division commanders nodded: "Commander, since this is the case, please give orders!"

Yoshio Iwamatsu shook his hand and said, "It's not the time yet. You just arrived in Taiyuan and are not familiar with the environment in Taiyuan."

"If you attack rashly, you will likely be ambushed by the Chinese troops."

"In another month, it will be what the Chinese people say about the New Year. You can use this time to become familiar with the environment in northwest Shanxi."
