In the command center of the 168th Mixed Brigade, the colonel-level officers of the 168th Mixed Brigade were discussing Li Yan's 108th Division.
From the information sent by the commander, Li Yan's 108th Division only had 2520 people, but their firepower was extremely powerful.
The 108th Division was fully equipped with semi-automatic rifles and 120 new machine guns with a capacity of 100 rounds.
Looking at the equipment of the 168th mixed brigade, there was a 5-round bolt-action rifle and a 30-round light machine gun. If they were compared to Li Yan's 108th division, the difference between the two was huge!
Just as the colonel-level officers of the 168th mixed brigade were discussing fervently, another staff officer ran in and reported loudly,""Traveler, someone wants to see you. He says he's from the 108th Division.”
"Division 108, Li Yan's men." Sun Shangren was very surprised. They had just been discussing Li Yan's 108th division. Speak of the devil, and the devil had arrived.
Not long after, Li Yan's trusted subordinate, Li Yong, appeared in the command post. He was not wearing a military uniform, but casual clothes.
Although Li Yan's Imperial Association Army had become the 108th Division, this news was still kept secret. Only a few of the higher-ups of the 168th Mixed Brigade knew about it.
It was because of this that Li Yong changed into casual clothes and came to the command center of the 168th mixed brigade.
When he saw Li Yong, Sun Shangren waved his hand to dismiss the irrelevant people. He stared at Li Yong and introduced himself,"Brother, I'm Sun Shangren, the brigade commander of the 168th Mixed Brigade.”
"Brigadier Sun, I'm Li Yong, the commander of the 1st Battalion of the 108th Division.”Li Yong saluted Sun Shangren.
Then, Li Yong took out a letter and handed it to Sun Shangren. He said,"Brigadier Sun, this is what Master asked me to bring to you!”
" A letter from Division Commander Li…" Sun Shangren did not hesitate and immediately took the envelope to open it.
Sun Shangren's eyelids twitched and his heart trembled.
In this letter, Li Yan explained his battle plan in detail. He told the 168th Mixed Brigade to gather their troops without any concealment and launch an attack on Nanzhang County on February 5th. This way, the Kawasaki Brigade would definitely leave Nanzhang County and take the initiative to attack the 168th Mixed Brigade.
If the Kawasaki Brigade left Nanzhang County, Li Yan could lead the 108th Division to launch a surprise attack on the Kawasaki Brigade and cut off their retreat.
Under the joint attack of both sides, the Kawasaki Battalion would become the meat on the board and be slaughtered by both sides.
Looking at such a battle plan, Sun Shangren was also quite tempted. Once the Kawasaki Brigade left Nanzhang County and encountered enemies from both sides, Sun Shangren would have sufficient confidence to wipe out the Kawasaki Brigade.
There was another advantage to this plan, which was that it would not endanger civilians.
If the two sides engaged in a siege and defensive battle, the Kawasaki Brigade would most likely capture some civilians to act as human shields. This was not the first time such a thing had happened in the Japanese army.
After thinking for a while, Sun Shangren looked at Li Yong and praised,"Battalion Commander Li, Division Commander Li's battle plan is very good. I agree with this plan!”
After getting the answer he wanted, Li Yong saluted again and said,""Brigadier Sun, my mission has been completed. I will take my leave first!”
" Wait..." Sun Shangren stopped Li Yong. He walked forward and asked curiously,""Battalion Commander Li, I heard that the 108th Division has already changed their equipment. Where did your division commander buy the weapons and equipment from?”
Sun Shangren was very jealous of the machine guns, semi-automatic rifles, and mortars equipped by the 108th Division. In addition, he still had some spare money on hand, so he wanted to buy some to strengthen the firepower configuration of the 168th Mixed Brigade.
"The news of the 108th Division's change of equipment has always been very confidential. How did Sun Shangren know? Could it be that the national army had planted spies in the teacher's seat?”Li Yong frowned as such a thought arose in his mind.
Judging from the current information, this spy's level was not low. Otherwise, it was impossible for him to have the opportunity to transmit information to the outside world.
Seeing Li Yong frown, Sun Shangren smiled and said,"Battalion Commander Li, we are allies. Take me to pass a message to Division Commander Li. He must introduce me to the way he buys weapons. After all, we have a common enemy, the Japanese army!”
Hearing this, Li Yong regained his composure and said,""Brigade Commander Sun, I will help you pass on your message. I will take my leave first!”
After saying that, Li Yong took a step forward and left the place.
Looking at Li Yong's disappearing back, Cheng Li couldn't help but say,""Traveler, the semi-automatic rifles and machine guns that the 108th Division is equipped with must be very expensive.”
"You don't have to worry about that. As long as I can buy it, I'll naturally apply for funding from the higher-ups.”Sun Shangren smiled confidently.
"Chief of Staff Cheng, the traveler has a strong background in the national team, and he was born in Huangpu, so he's basically the chairman's student. As long as the traveler asks, the national team will definitely allocate funds.”The commander of the 2nd regiment of the 168th mixed regiment laughed.
"Look at my memory, I forgot about the traveler's background and connections!”Cheng Li smiled and said no more.
…………………………
On the other side, in the secret base of the military commander's intelligence department in Xiang City, Shen Yanling, who was wearing a black windbreaker, had just finished listening to her subordinate's report. She shook her eyes and muttered to herself," That's impossible. According to the Commander's intelligence network, it's impossible for us to not know anything about the weapons and equipment that Li Yan bought…"
"Chief, the intelligence personnel in Nanzhang County have already investigated the people that Li Yan has been in contact with recently, but we have found nothing. Regarding the weapons and equipment that the 108th division has changed, I have also consulted the Americans and the Eagle people, but they do not recognize these weapons and equipment.”Wu Bo, the deputy director of the intelligence department stationed in Xiang City, reported.
"What did Wind Chimes say? Did he get any information about the source of these weapons and equipment from Li Yan?”Shen Yanling asked. The Feng Ling she was talking about was Li Yan's deputy commander, Zheng Sanlin.
" This…" Wu Bo smiled awkwardly and shrugged helplessly,""Division Chief, Windling hasn't had the chance to get information about the source of these weapons from Li Yan yet.”
"It seems that this Li Yan is not simple. Could it be that he has a superpower behind him?”Shen Yanling said unhurriedly.
Li Yan's weapons and equipment were all exchanged from the system, so the Commander naturally could not find the source of the problem. Therefore, Shen Yanling could only think that it was the Great Powers.
"Director, we don't have to be anxious. As long as we increase the intensity of our investigation, I don't believe that we can't find any clues.”Wu Bo said in a deep voice.
"Our main target is the Japanese army. We shouldn't waste too much manpower and resources on this matter.”Shen Yanling instructed.
