Li Yunlong still has his own confidence in making money.

During the war, there was also a huge profitable industry in addition to arms, that is, medicines.

Li Yunlong is now developing penicillin. Once developed at that time, the benefits of penicillin will be considerable.

Therefore, it is actually a matter of time before the rocket launcher is created.

But just as everything seems to be moving in a good direction, something big is happening in northwest Shanxi far away.

It has been almost half a year since Li Yunlong left northwestern Shanxi, and the North China Expeditionary Force Command has also used the past six months to accumulate a lot of strength.

Finally, a large-scale operation was organized in early March.

However, their target this time was not the Eighth Route Army, but the Jinsui Army.

In the northwest of Shanxi, although Li Yunlong has left, Ping'an County is still there, and the facilities left by Li Yunlong are still there, so the Eighth Route Army is still very powerful.

In the northwest of Shanxi, four forces gradually formed a staggered convergence, forming a situation where four parts of the world were divided.

If you look down at the entire northwest Shanxi from the entire sand table, the largest place in the middle is the area under the jurisdiction of the Eighth Route Army, and the left and right areas of the area are the Jinsui Army and the National Army.

To the north of this is the territory of the Japanese.

This time the Japanese acted to kill the entire Jinsui Army, and then sent troops to expedition the west to kill the national army, and finally surrounded the entire Eighth Route Army with three attacks.

Once the plan is successful, the Eighth Route Army will not be able to respond to the east and west, and will also fight against the frontal Japanese troops.

It would be fine if we win, at least we could stabilize the current situation. But once we lose, the Eighth Route Army would have to withdraw from the entire northwest of Shanxi and return to the days when we fought guerrillas before.

Of course, Yan Laoxi, the brigade commander, and the Kuomintang army naturally knew that this was the moment when his lips were dead and his teeth were cold, so the three sides rarely joined forces to fight the enemy.

In the end, the combined forces of the three parties reached the strength of 150,000 troops.

The Japanese also invested 170,000 troops, air and tank troops, all of which were dispatched.

It can be said that this battle has exposed all the family backgrounds of all parties.

With the family background left by Li Yunlong, although this battle was won, it also paid a heavy price.

Among those whom Li Yunlong is familiar with, Kong Jie and Ding Wei's troops were disbanded and could not be restored in a short period of time.

Chu Yunfei's 358th Regiment defended Yuncheng, with more than three-quarters of the casualties.

The regiment commander Chu Yunfei was seriously injured, the adjutant Sun Ming and the chief of staff Fang Ligong were killed in battle.

More than half of Liu Zhihui's regiment suffered casualties. The regiment commander Liu Zhihui was shot in the left arm. Although he saved his life, his arm was gone.

After the newspaper was published, the people of the whole country were really worried.

In the Frost City Command, everyone stared at the newspaper with their eyes red.

"Old Li..."

Zhao Gang wanted to say something, but in the end he couldn't say a word.

He didn't know what to say, nor did he know how to persuade Li Yunlong.

"I have to go back!"

After a while, Li Yunlong suddenly spoke.

"What should I do here in the Northeast?" Zhao Gang asked.

"The large army remains unmoved, the new regiment and the independent regiment are all here, with troops and weapons in it, and it is enough to stick to Frost City."

"This time I will only take the special forces back, the target, the head of the old Japanese devil in Tsukada!"

"Have you thought it through clearly? Do you want to report to the brigade commander?" Zhao Gang said.

"No need to report!" Li Yunlong said coldly: "With the brigade commander's character, he will not let me go back."

"This matter is kept confidential and cannot be known to anyone!"

Zhao Gang opened his mouth and wanted to dissuade him, but in the end he just stood up and patted Li Yunlong on the shoulder.

"I understand, I will never lose the Frost City until you come back!"

Li Yunlong nodded and turned to look at Zhou Weiguo: "Xiao Zhou, tell the special forces team to prepare immediately. This time, we will set off overnight and the train will go directly to Yuncheng!"

"Yes!" Zhou Weiguo wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, then quickly stood up and left.

The atmosphere in the special forces room was very heavy.

There were guns and ammunition on the table, and Zhou Weiguo kept pressing bullets into the magazine.

"This time I can finally go back to see my son, but I don't know if this kid still remembers his father!"

The monk wanted to break the depressing atmosphere and spoke first.

Seeing this, Shui Sheng immediately smiled and said, "I will definitely recognize you, at least he will definitely not forget you with a bald head!"

If it were the past, everyone would definitely laugh and even continue to tease the monk.

But at this moment, everyone couldn't laugh.

"All ready?" Zhou Weiguo looked up and said.

"All is ready, you can set off at any time!" Everyone stood up and said.

"Okay, get ready to go home!"

On the other hand, in Taiyuan, the brigade commander also received a telegram from Minglou.

But he just took a look and put the telegram aside.

The Chief of Staff received the telegram and took a rough look: "Brig Commander, is this appropriate?"

The brigade commander snorted coldly, "Don't you understand this kid yet? Even if I send a newspaper and ask him not to come back, will he listen?"

The Chief of Staff squeezed out a smile: "That's right, such a big thing is reasonable, and it's normal for him to come back and see it."

"By the way, the field hospital sent a telegram this morning, but it was not good news!"

The brigade commander turned around suddenly: "Old Xu?"

The Chief of Staff nodded: "Lao Xu didn't survive..."

The brigade commander punched the table with a sudden punch: "Bastard, I shouldn't believe that bastard Yan Laoxi!"

The chief of staff lowered his head and was silent: "No one expected that Yan Laoxi would do such a move."

"The political commissar of the 771st Regiment said that after they arrived, Yan Laoxi retracted his troops back to Luliang. The 771st Regiment was surrounded by two Japanese divisions and fought to the death before breaking out."

"Old Xu was hit by the Japanese stray bullet during the breakout..."

Speaking of this, the Chief of Staff couldn't help but wipe the tears from the corners of his eyes.

The brigade commander also couldn't help but look up at Taguchi: "How long has Lao Xu been with us?"

"When the 386th Brigade was there, he was the regiment commander..." said the Chief of Staff.

"By the way, after this war, Yan Laoxi's actions seemed to make his subordinates feel cold. A senior official named Fu seemed to surrender to the national army."

The brigade commander waved his hand: "The battle was timid at the time of battle, and the days when Yan Laoxi and his relatives were betrayed are not far away."

"I won't talk about this anymore, how did everyone else do after this war?"

"Most of people are out of danger!"

"This morning, Chu Yunfei's surgery was completed. Dr. Takeda said that the bullet almost hit his heart and is still in a coma!"

The brigade commander nodded and turned around and said, "Send someone to Yuncheng to pick up Li Yunlong."

"Old comrade-in-arms were killed and injured. Don't be so angry at that time, what extraordinary things will happen!"

The Chief of Staff nodded: "Okay, I understand, I will make arrangements then!"

"In addition, we should ask Yan Laoxi for the pensions for those sacrificed soldiers..."
