Bright Sword: An eight-year-old boy led a group to fight the Japanese invaders

After being hugged by Wang Dabao, Wu Gang calmed down. He knew that the opportunity had been missed and everyone was watching him closely now.

But Wu Gang is not an ordinary person. After he stood up, he did not curse, but just held Wang Dabao's arm tightly.

Wang Dabao was about to rush to the battlefield when he was suddenly stopped. He was anxious, "Deputy Brigade Commander, let go, the Japanese are almost all killed."

"Hey, are you anxious? I, the deputy brigade commander, can't go, but you, as the regiment commander, can go?

What are you thinking? Stay still!"

An hour later, Wu Gang brought Wang Dabao into Sucheng, and the signalman came to report.

"Deputy Brigade Commander, there is only one battalion and one second division of the Japanese troops on the battlefield outside the city.

The others had already left the city from the south while we were destroying the enemies outside the city.

The reconnaissance unit has sent out scouts to look for their tracks, but the devils didn't stop along the way, so they must be running towards Yecheng."

Wu Gang and Wang Dabao looked at the map and said, "We were so careless. The source east of Sucheng is the logistics base of the 108th Division.

According to our guess, the Japanese in Sucheng would definitely run to the source, but who knew they would actually run south? The Japanese are really not afraid that we will cut off their retreat."

That night, Wang Ye received a telegram from Wu Gang. Once Sucheng was broken, the source of the 108th Division's logistics base would be right under the nose of the Independent Brigade. They could eat whatever they wanted.

If the 108th Division's mopping-up troops do not return, the independent brigade will go straight to the source.

The headquarters was worried for a long time, but that evening they learned that the independent brigade had broken through Sucheng.

"How come the independent brigade's combat effectiveness is so strong? The Japanese and the traitors numbered nearly 2, and they were defeated in just one afternoon?"

The staff officer of the headquarters said with some envy, "There is nothing we can do. The weapons and equipment of the independent brigade are too luxurious. Our other troops can't compare with them at all.

The soldiers were armed with assault rifles, which put a lot of pressure on logistics, but the independent brigade was able to hold on.

Heavy machine guns, mortars, Type 92 infantry guns, anti-aircraft guns, rocket launchers, armored vehicles, tanks,

Dear leaders, listen to what kind of equipment these are. If the troops below have some of these weapons, they can also achieve the same results as the independent brigade."

The political commissar heard this and waved his hand to correct him, "Xiao Zhou, you can't say that. The weapons and ammunition of the independent brigade are indeed better than those of our other troops.

But don't forget, no matter how good a weapon is, it has to have people who can use it. Let alone those rocket launchers and anti-aircraft guns, how many of our Eighth Route Army soldiers can use them?

Not to mention armored vehicles and tanks, which are all high-tech weapons that place very high demands on soldiers.

There are people in all the units of the Eighth Route Army who are good at handling these things.

But there are so many talented people in one brigade, and this is the ability of the independent brigade leader. "

"Yes, these weapons are not only about how to use them, but also about coordinating with the infantry.

Many officers and soldiers in our army now have low cultural levels. Even if we give them this weapon, they won’t be able to use it.”

The division commander suddenly said, "I propose to select some educated soldiers from each unit to study in the independent brigade.

When other troops also have these weapons, they can start using them directly. This can also be considered as a talent reserve. "

“Okay!” the boss gave the final word.

"Now that Sucheng has been breached, the Independent Brigade is heading straight for the source of the 108th Division's logistics base.

According to the speed of the independent brigade, they will reach the outskirts of the source by tomorrow morning at the latest. Now it depends on how the devils respond! "

The chief of staff did not participate in their discussion until the boss spoke, then he pointed to the map and spoke.

The boss put down the pencil in his hand and finally felt a little relaxed. He had not been able to sleep well at night because of the 115th Division's anti-mopping-up operation in the past few days.

"The independent brigade is well-known, so even if only two regiments are sent this time, the Japanese will not dare to be careless.

At least a brigade must be dispatched to hold them back. If the Japanese are careless, even the brigade may not be able to hold them back."

The atmosphere at the Eighth Route Army headquarters was very good, but the atmosphere at the Shuxian Command Headquarters of the 108th Division was not very harmonious.

Division Commander Kawashima Goma had just received a telegram from the 117th Regiment's superior, the 36th Brigade Commander Yamauchi Ikki.

The 117th Regiment's loss of Sucheng put the 108th Division in a very passive position because the Independent Brigade was too famous. Although intelligence showed that the Independent Brigade had just been reorganized,

The combat effectiveness of the troops should have declined, and they are temporarily unable to attack.

But they still let Yoshimura Rieux guard Sucheng to prevent the independent brigade from raiding the logistics base of the 108th Division.

When the two regiments of the Independent Brigade appeared in Sucheng, the brigade and division headquarters sent a telegram to Yoshimura Riefu, asking him to stop the Eighth Route Army from heading to the source.

But only one day after the telegram was sent, the brigade headquarters said that Sucheng was lost. Is this a joke?

A force of nearly 2 people couldn't even hold out for a day. Even if they were 2 pigs, it would take several days to kill them, right?

Kawashima Ikki looked at the telegram in his hand and wished he could kill Yoshimura Rio with two knives. He was a guy who could do nothing but cause trouble.

"What's the situation with the 117th Wing? Where are they now?"

"There are less than two battalions and 117 men left in the 1800th Regiment, and the Imperial Army still has 7500 men. They are now resting at Kuguling, 50 miles south of Sucheng.

The commander of the wing, Yoshimura Riefu, is in a very low mood, and the main affairs of the wing are now in the charge of the chief of staff, Tano Nakayoshi.

"Baka!" Kawashima Ikki cursed in a low voice. Yoshimura Rio was an officer he promoted himself.

This time it was just a small blow, but he actually ignored the military affairs. How could this be tolerated?

"Have Yoshimura Rio come here immediately. Chief of Staff Tanakayoshi will be in charge of the wing affairs for the time being!

In addition, let the 117th Regiment rest for a day, and tomorrow morning the troops will go to the source to help the 118th Regiment guard the source. We must not let the Eighth Route Army break through our logistics base."

"Hey!"

Sucheng, Wu Gang, Wang Dabao and Zhao Shengzheng had a brief discussion and the troops set out overnight. The source was only 40 kilometers away from Sucheng.

After leaving Sucheng, there is a plain in front of you, which is one of the few plains in northern Shanxi.

The Eighth Route Army had very few troops east of the source, so the Japanese placed their logistics base here. There was no other reason but safety.

Wu Gang led his troops to Fushan in the middle of the night. After passing the Fushan Pass, they entered Yuanyuan. The troops began to rest and the scouts began to move towards Yuanyuan.

The independent brigade never fights a battle without confidence. Even if the local underground party provides them with intelligence, the reconnaissance troops still need to conduct reconnaissance.

While Wu Gang was leading his troops to keep an eye on the source, Wang Ye also led the 2nd and 3rd Regiments out of the north gate of Yu County and attacked Qinghe in Sui Province.
