What Li Yun Tian did not expect was that the Wild Wolves Special Forces he sent out that night would encounter the Yamamoto Special Forces.
That night, he did not idle.
In the afternoon, Li Yun Tian sent the Wild Wolves Special Combat Team out and received their rewards.
He looked at the map of the saltpeter mines in the northwest of Jin. As expected, the northwest of Jin was a fertile land with extremely rich mineral resources.
However, most of them had already been occupied by the Japanese. At least four-fifths of the saltpeter mines in northwestern Shanxi had fallen into the hands of the Japanese.
The saltpeter mines that were occupied by the factions were clearly marked on the map.
Li Yun Tian looked around. There was no undeveloped saltpeter mine within a hundred miles of Shuanghe Town. There was one within a hundred miles, but it was meaningless.
This was because the distance between them was too far. If he wanted to divide his forces to mine, once it was exposed, the Japanese would send troops to attack. It would be difficult for him to rush over to support them immediately.
"Chief of Staff!" Li Yun Tian shouted. Soon, the Chief of Staff of the 433rd Regiment, Huang Zhi Qiang, ran to Li Yun Tian.
Li Yun Tian didn't waste any time. He pointed at the map of the saltpeter mine and said,"Look, what do you think we should do now?”
Chief of Staff Huang Zhiqiang looked at the map and said,""The saltpeter mine near Liujiagou is not bad. It's also the closest saltpeter mine to us, but even the closest one is 80 kilometers away.
The Japanese's stronghold in the east is right next to our perimeter. Once we're exposed, the Japanese will attack us. It won't be easy for us to send reinforcements from Shuanghe Town. Therefore, I absolutely cannot touch this saltpeter mine.”
Li Yun Tian nodded." That's what I thought too. However, we should continue to build a saltpeter mine and an arsenal. Otherwise, we won't be able to solve the problem of ammunition consumption."”
"Regiment Commander, rather than occupying an undeveloped saltpeter mine that is too far away, I suggest we attack the saltpeter mine of the Third Regiment of the Eighth Mixed Brigade of the Yellow Army. Even though the Japanese will attack us after we take them down.
However, we are only ten kilometers away from here, and our cannons can provide long-range artillery coverage. At the same time, this place was easy to defend and difficult to attack. There were also many friendly troops around. The Japanese would not be able to attack on a large scale. At most, they would send a regiment!
With our current strength, if we were to face a single Japanese regiment, let alone defend, we might even be able to wipe them out!”
Chief of Staff Huang Zhiqiang gave a very good suggestion.
Li Yun Tian smiled and nodded. This chief of staff was indeed something, because he and chief of staff Huang Zhiqiang had the same thoughts.
Li Yun Tian had called the Chief of Staff over to discuss the matter because he wanted to see the Chief of Staff's level and see if he had any better suggestions.
Now that the two of them had the same idea, Li Yun Tian naturally wouldn't stay idle. He immediately ordered,"Pass on my order, gather the entire regiment and attack the encampment of the Third Regiment of the Eighth Mixed Brigade of the Huang Xie Army!”
The 433rd Regiment's ability to execute and communicate was very strong. As soon as Li Yun Tian gave the order, in less than half an hour, the entire regiment of 3,000 people had gathered. The 3,000 people rushed to the encampment of the 3rd Regiment of the 8th Mixed Brigade of the Huang Xie Army!
The 3rd Regiment of the 8th Mixed Brigade of the Huang Xie Army was guarding a saltpeter mine.
This saltpeter mine was located deep in the mountains. The terrain here was dangerous and easy to defend. If used properly, it could resist thousands of troops!
Huang Xiejun's regiment only had 1,300 people.
It wasn't just the Huang Xie Army's 3rd Regiment that was stationed here. There was also a squadron of the Japanese.
To be honest, this military deployment was actually a little low. After all, this was a saltpeter mine, and it was at the edge of the defense zone. For the Japanese, the surrounding enemy situation was very complicated.
Logically speaking, such a saltpeter mine should be heavily guarded by the Japanese.
However, they only sent a squadron and a regiment of the Huang Xie Army. They were looking down on them.
The reason for this was because the terrain here was dangerous. In addition, although the combat strength of the Huang Xie Army's 8th mixed regiment was low, this 3rd regiment was not simple!
The leader of the 3rd Regiment was called Huang Jinbiao. Although Huang Jinbiao's name was a bit unpleasant and he looked a bit ugly, he was indeed not a simple person.
Huang Jinbiao graduated from Huangpu Military Academy. After graduation, he was assigned to the 433rd Regiment of the 72nd Division of the Central Army. He participated in the Battle of Jinling and the Battle of Xinkou!
He and Li Yun Tian were fated to be classmates in the military school. After graduation, they were assigned to a regiment, a battalion, a battalion commander, and a battalion deputy.
After the Battle of Jinling, Li Yun Tian was promoted to a regiment commander because he had killed many Japanese soldiers, while Huang Jin Biao became a battalion commander.
Regarding this, Huang Jinbiao was more or less unconvinced. He felt that Li Yun Tian's battle achievements were at least half of his.
But why was Li Yun Tian promoted two ranks in a row and became a regiment commander, while he was still a battalion commander?
In addition, he and Li Yun Tian have been classmates for many years and have gone through life and death for many years. Since you, Li Yun Tian, have been promoted, shouldn't you promote your brother, me?
It's fine if you don't promote me, but you should take care of me when we're fighting!
When the Battle of Xinkou started, the most difficult position to defend would always be their battalion.
This made Huang Jinbiao unhappy, so he had evil thoughts!
